Chapter 427: Bad old man

Thinking of Dongye's death in the falling moon, Qin Xun's heart beat wildly.

"Could it be that something happened to the Imperial Snow?"

Huang Chaoxue carried his Northern Hebei Army token, even if he was thousands of miles away, he could be sure that the death of Dongye Luoyue was committed by Huang Chaoxue.

And the commission that Huang Chaoxue accepted was to kill the key members of the Tianri Sect and blame the Northern Hebei Army, but I am afraid that Huang Chaoxue may not be able to give evidence that Dongye Luoyue fornicated with the Tianri Sect.

The falling moon in Higashino is an accidental hunt, but it is a scourge that must be killed no matter what, otherwise it would be impossible for Imperial Snow to kill the people of the Higashino clan casually.

Qin Xun pondered, it was difficult to explain at the moment, so he could only hide this matter first, and hurriedly pleaded.

"After the Marquis of Lanling is done, can you let me talk to this gentleman?"

Qin glanced at Qin Xun suspiciously.

Liang Xiao agreed.

Qin Xun left with confidence.

He could see that the two of them were in a hurry, and it was inconvenient to disturb them at the moment.

Liang Xiao invited Qin to sit in his courtyard, exchanged greetings with him, and couldn't wait to open the bad old man's secret letter.

A letter from home is worth 10,000 dollars!

The old man had learned regular script, line script, and cursive script, and never used cursive to the outside world.

Cursive writing is Liang Xiao's most familiar handwriting, and it is also an agreement between the two, which means that the content is completely true, and there is no possibility of others forging it - of course, ordinary people can't imitate this unique handwriting at all.

After reading the secret letter word by word, Liang Xiao finally understood the old man's good intentions.

Except for the greetings, the rest of the content is a very important secret.

Of course, the old man doesn't know that today's Liang Xiao has memories from his "hometown".

In the eyes of the old man, his apprentice is just a righteous child, more like a slightly impulsive knight, rather than a general, a literati, and no political wisdom.

However, even Zhuge Hui didn't know that Liang Xiao was taken away by the Martial Saint, and at first he just guessed, but this is a later story.

When the old man heard of the defeat of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the threat of Beihu to the capital, he immediately rushed to the capital from Bashu, and heard about the disaster of moving the capital halfway, so he could only go to the Marquis of Lanling.

Xiao Yongyan faced postpartum hemorrhage soon after giving birth to Liang Xiao, and when she knew that her life was not long in coming, she entrusted her husband's letter to her and Liang Xiao to him, begging him to take the child away as soon as possible.

Liang Xun only knew that the army was defeated on the eve of Liang Xun's choice, and understood that the political enemies of the family would never let him and the soldiers go, so he asked Shizu to simply take the crime of defeating the army, and sent someone to inform his pregnant wife to avoid the limelight and wait for Shizu to rescue, but Xiao Yongyan was already waiting to give birth when the letter was delivered.

At that time, almost all the officials in the city and even the surrounding states and counties were from the big family, and the situation was urgent, and the old man had no time to wait for Shizu and Zhuge Hui to arrive, so he had to send someone to bury Xiao Yongyan, and he hurriedly took Liang Xiao back to Bashu, but before leaving, he sent someone to inform Shizu: The son of the Marquis of Lanling is still alive and will inherit his father's will in the future.

These are the contents of the letters that Liang Xiao has known for a long time.

The letter mentioned that the old man was very surprised that he became a poet of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and felt that he almost buried the child's poetic talent, and he was also very pleased that he was now acting steadily and had the ability to take charge of himself, thinking that his change was due to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng's teaching.

The old man used "eldest brother" to refer to the Great Zhou Gaozu, and "third brother" to refer to Liang Xiao's grandfather.

The old man and Liang Xiao's grandfather are of the same clan, the grandfathers of both sides are siblings, and the Liang family is a descendant of Emperor Wu of the Wu Dynasty, but they are already commoners (note: similar to Liu Bei's after King Jing of Zhongshan).

Later, the Wu Dynasty collapsed, the Liang family was destroyed by bandits, after the two people who came back from the army to take revenge, they met Gaozu and became brothers, and then followed Gaozu to chase the Central Plains, establish a new dynasty, and made great achievements, and the old man was honored as the "Martial Saint" and led the country's soldiers and horses.

Later, the three of them each married a holy daughter of the Sword Clan.

Gao Zu and the old man were both old children, and the two children were born on the same day and the same year, and the two fathers could have enjoyed their own family happiness.

Unfortunately, a smallpox changed everything.

Both children and their birth mother were accidentally infected with smallpox.

Gaozu's children, as well as the two holy women, all died of illness.

Only the old man's child survived, and later the old man learned that when the two pairs of mother and son were seriously ill, Gaozu gave the "nephew" the best medical treatment and care possible.

The pain of bereavement enveloped Gao Zu, and Gao Zu was already old, and he had no confidence in whether he could have a dragon son again, so he discussed with the old man: The birth of Da Zhou, as the second brother, the old man accounted for most of the credit, it is better to pass on the child born on the same day, the same month, the same year to him privately, and this child will replace the identity of the late prince.

The old man was shocked, so he naturally didn't dare not agree, but he agreed with Gaozu that if Gaozu had another heir in the future, he must set up another prince.

Gaozu agreed, but then he never chose a concubine again.

Zhuge Hui, Mu Dingguo, Liang Xiao's grandfather, and the three of them are also insiders.

The prince grew up slowly, and both the old man and Liang Xiao's grandfather found that the child was born exactly like the old man when he was a child.

If this is not done, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Gaozu asked Zhuge Hui for advice.

In order to ensure all safety, Zhuge Hui proposed to transfer Wei Chiping and Gongsun Xunfeng, who had seen the appearance of Wusheng in his early years, to meet Gongsun Xunfeng's request to return to Bashu, fulfill Gaozu's promise to let the Sword Clan govern Bashu in his early years, and let Yu Chiping stabilize the radical Guanlong nobles.

Wei Chiping once called the old man "Master", loyal to Gaozu, and now is the generalissimo of Guanlong.

But the old man is still there, and the question of the future appearance of the ancestor is likely to be hidden.

And the old man thanked the grace of the ancestors, and only asked the world to still have the surname Duan, and did not want the prince and the world to misunderstand in the future, and promised that if his son ascended the throne in the future, he would never see him.

Yu Chiping and Gongsun Xunfeng also knew that the old man was a descendant of Emperor Wu, and in the later period of the Wu Dynasty, Yu Chiping and some of his colleagues were survivors of the extermination of their families by the tyrant of the Wu Dynasty, "Emperor Wenxuan", and would not allow the restoration of the Wu Dynasty no matter what......

As a last resort, the old man could only choose to fake his death and return to the Sword Clan as the son-in-law of the Sword Clan, while supervising Gongsun Xunfeng.

The husband of the Holy Maiden of the Sword Clan, as long as he agrees to return to the Sword Clan, is also a member of the Sword Clan.

As a martial saint, the old man has a life-saving grace for the entire Sword Clan, and he is also the boss of Gongsun Xunfeng and others, and even the verbal master of Gongsun Xunfeng, so he has a certain right to speak in the Sword Clan and a large number of low-level supporters.

If it was just an ordinary "official business", the high-level of the Sword Clan would not dare to disobey casually.

For example, when he avenged Qin, it was because Gongsun Xunfeng sent troops on the orders of the old man.

But once the core interests of the Sword Clan and the Gongsun Family are involved, the Sword Clan will temporarily squeeze the Martial Saint out of the management.

Therefore, for such a thing as letting Liang Xiao go to the capital to serve the country, the old man can provide him with limited help, and he can't let the high-level of the Sword Clan know in advance.

The letter solemnly emphasized: Be wary of the people of the Sword Clan, but don't take the initiative to make enemies.

After the old man returned to Bashu, he never saw his children and grandchildren again.

Considering that Duan Yunyi and Duan Yunsleeve were both his granddaughters, the bad old man's mind became lively, thinking that the fat water would not flow into the fields of outsiders, and he would not care about Nangong Ning, but he was worried that Liang Xiao's regret of marriage would damage Liang Xun's reputation......

Liang Xiao, who read the letter, looked helpless.

"Tut-tut, Uncle Qin, you see that my master has been calculating me...... Oops, I really can't do anything about this bad old man. ”

Qin, who was familiar with the temperament of this pair of masters and apprentices, looked calm and ruthlessly exposed Liang Xiao's face.

"Young Master Xiao's face is the same as martial arts, blue is better than blue."

Liang Xiao asked Qin about the current situation, and the two talked for a long time before it ended, and then informed Qin Xun.
