Ascending to the slow platform in front of the Zhao Mansion, Zhao Zhen grabbed Dongfang Yi with an embarrassed face.

Dongfang Yi was very clear about Zhao Zhen's meaning, so he said lightly, "I'm fine, I'm not in a good mood!"

Zhao Zhen, who was as thick-skinned as the city wall, was a little embarrassed at the moment, but he didn't delve into this matter any further, and slowly let go of Dongfang Yi, and then waved his hand at the guards around him, signaling them to retreat, and after the guards left, Zhao Zhen put his arm around Dongfang Yi's shoulders and said in a low voice, "Little Jiuzi, please do me a favor and get me out!"

Dongfang Yi pushed Zhao Zhen's arm away, and said with a smile, "Didn't you accept the order of the imperial court, if you run out, you are not afraid of causing trouble to the Zhao family?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen rubbed his hands, and said with a wicked smile, "As the saying goes, the general will not be subject to foreign military orders, and after the Wu rebel thief fled to the southeast, I am the young marshal of the Great Liangshui Division, what is wrong with personally arresting the rebel thief? ”

Dongfang Yi sneered, "Even if you have enough reasons, but leave the barracks without permission, your old man is afraid that he won't be able to protect you, although the fifth brother doesn't have any energy to focus on you now, but don't forget that the Zhao family still has political enemies, those people will not let go of your every move." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Zhen put his hands on the back of his head, stepped into the door of the mansion, turned his back to Dongfang Yi and laughed, "What kind of bullshit political enemy, don't you covet my Zhao family's military power and want to replace it?" ”

"You don't go to the Jade Void Sect to find my sister?" Dongfang Yi asked with a frown.

Zhao Zhen, who was standing in the door, put down his hands at this time, and explained with a somewhat gloomy back, "I want to go, but I don't dare to go, I'm afraid that I will implicate your sister, after this time, I understand a truth, I am not suitable for the court after all, I am not suitable for the court to deceive, the king of the emperor used the water master to recall me back to Yuzhou, if it is in the system, I am afraid that I will do a lot of unpleasant things, on the contrary, I will go away from the rivers and lakes, and wait until everything settles, and then go to find Yue'er, at that time no one will set their eyes on us, right?"

"You don't care about the Zhao family?" Dongfang Yi hated that iron could not become a steel road.

Zhao Zhen looked up at the Zhao Mansion that occupied Qingcheng Mountain, and said calmly, "Since I was a child, my mother told me that people are noble and self-aware, although she is gone all these years, but this sentence has been left in my heart to warn myself, if I want to bear the burden of the Zhao family, I must step into Feng'an and have a place in the center of the imperial court." ”

At this point, Zhao Zhen turned his head and looked at Dongfang Yi and said bitterly, "But as long as the prince's succession does not end for a day, this court will not be stable for a day, as the eldest son of the Zhao family and the fiancé of Princess Dongfang Yue, do you think I can jump out of this circle if I go to Feng'an?"

Dongfang Yi was silent, yes, if the prince's seizure of the throne is not over, the court will not be stable for a day, and Zhao Zhen and Dongfang Yue have not been the kind of hard-hearted people since they were children, so let the two of them watch their brothers kill each other, how cruel it is.

"But you can't escape!" Dongfang Yi stepped into the door of the mansion and said lightly.

Standing side by side with Dongfang Yi, the corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth rose slightly, "If you can escape for a day, when you really can't escape, I will take your sister to Mobei, and the world will still have a place for me Zhao Zhen after all." ”

"I'll be waiting for you in Mobei then!" Dongfang Yi looked back and smiled.

Zhao Zhen smiled slightly, not speaking.

Want to climb the highest attic of Zhao Mansion, Dongfang Yi and Zhao Zhen have to pass through the courtyards of the house, at first everyone in the house thought that Dongfang Yi was a disciple of the anointed rice, and Zhao Zhen needed to lead the way in person, and after learning his identity from the guards, everyone's faces were full of strange colors, especially those who were concerned about the political affairs of the court, they all showed a sudden look, the recent incident in Feng'an, they still couldn't figure out why He Shen and Huanyu Jun wanted to fight with the King of Wang, now it seems that the day when King Heng returns to the court is not far away, in order to win the favor of King Heng, there is no shortage of people who appear in front of the two and greet the two。

Waiting to step on the steps in front of the attic, Zhao Zhen said helplessly, "He Laoshangshu is fighting hard to spread the matter of the royal party all over the world, which will naturally make the family members have other thoughts!"

Dongfang Yi smiled and said, "I understand, but you just look at it like that, I looked at those people just now, but there are many people who want to replace you!"

"Take it, it's just right for me to be liberated. Zhao Zhen didn't care.

Just as the two were talking, Zhao Qiancheng walked out of the attic with a wooden box in both hands, and Zhao Zhen saw this, and hurriedly trotted to the old man to take the wooden box.

Handing over the wooden box to his grandson, Zhao Qiancheng waved at Dongfang Yi with a smile, and when Dongfang Yi walked up, Zhao Qiancheng commanded Zhao Zhen, "You stand here, don't let anyone disturb us, if your father comes back to me, then you tell him, saying that my Zhao family is only loyal to Your Majesty all my life." ”

"Grandson understands!" Zhao Zhen said respectfully with a smile on his face.

Dongfang Yi walked up, heard these words, and jokingly said to Zhao Zhen, "There is an old master who doesn't need to ask me for help this time, right?"

Zhao Qiancheng said narrowly: "Isn't it Old Man Zhao?"

"Uh...."

There were three people in front of the attic, one smiling, one embarrassed, and one laughing wantonly.

Entering the attic, Dongfang Yi looked around, and found that the first floor was full of screens of ladies' pictures, which occupied half of the room, and the most strange thing was that there was no depiction on the faces of those ladies, as if they had no face to see people, with this doubt, Dongfang Yi followed Zhao Qiancheng to the second floor, compared with the first floor, the second floor is much simpler, a bed, a desk is also placed on the picture of the lady who is half drawn, next to the four treasures of the study and a pot of tea, the window behind is facing Yuzhou City, and the vast sea can be seen across the city.

Zhao Qiancheng pointed to the empty second floor and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, the old man doesn't have many people here on weekdays, so there are no tables and chairs to entertain guests, if His Royal Highness doesn't dislike it, you can sit on the old man's bed, and when the old man finishes painting this painting, he will talk to His Highness in detail." ”

"The old family owner, please don't worry about this king. Dongfang Yi looked at the seascape road.

Dongfang Yi said that he had no scruples, but his eyes kept staring at the desk, Zhao Qiancheng saw this, sighed lightly, walked to the desk, stretched out his hand and lifted it gently, the desk directly crossed the top of the two people's heads and sat on the other side, and the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and tea cup on the table did not shake at all.

Knowing that Zhao Qiancheng didn't want to pay too much attention to him, he honestly walked to the window, turned his back to Zhao Qiancheng who was walking to the desk, and said calmly, "The old master is like this, I can't hang that my grandmother would choose my grandfather instead of you." ”

Zhao Qiancheng, who was only two steps away from the desk, was stunned, his eyes were full of memories of the past, and he looked at the lady who would never have a face, and asked abruptly, "What does Your Highness want to know from the old man?"

Seeing that Zhao Qiancheng was about to answer his question first, Dongfang Yi put his hands on the window, squinted his eyes, and said without looking back, "From childhood to adulthood, my mother has never told me anything about my grandfather's family, including my grandmother, she seems to have come out of thin air, I learned that Liu Mang is my uncle in the Yuxu faction, but my mother's surname is Chu, which shows that my mother's life experience is by no means ordinary, and it is very likely to be related to the bloody case sixteen years ago, I want to know everything you know." ”

Sighing lightly, Zhao Qiancheng slowly said what he knew back then.

Chu Xueqing's mother, that is, Dongfang Yi's grandmother, named Shan Shan, forty-three years ago was a third-rate family in the southeast at that time, a famous talented woman in the single family, ranked third on the beauty list, so that the sons and brothers in the southeast were fascinated, but Shan Shan is not the kind of person who likes to be inflammatory, for those who like her beauty, she has never had a good face, until she met Liu Mang's father, a child of the rivers and lakes, mutual affection, and finally the two of them secretly gave birth to Liu Mang, originally thought that this Shan Shan was famous and had a master, and admirers, including Zhao Qiancheng, would not be pestering Shan Shan, but who knew that Yang Tai, the sister-in-law of the Yang family in Quanzhou, still refused to give up, and the courtship was unsuccessful, He borrowed the power of the Yang family, recruited a group of thugs from the rivers and lakes to disguise themselves as mountain bandits, and attacked the Shan family, Liu Mang's father was invincible with two fists and four hands, and fought to death, the young Liu Mang was rescued by Shan Shan's maid, Shan Shan was seriously injured and fled to Yuzhou, asking to see her close friend Chu Yan.

At that time, the same love for Shan Shan was also Chu Wenhao, the son of the Chu family, learned the news, Chu Wenhao found his friend Zhao Qiancheng, and asked him to help Shan Shan avenge his revenge, but the power of the Yang family is not weaker than the Zhao and Chu families, or after the Great Liang Meritorious Service, so the Zhao and Chu families are unwilling to offend the Yang family for the two, Zhao Qiancheng proposed to accumulate his own strength, and then go to the Yang family to seek justice, but Chu Wenhao is the kind of stubborn character, in order to avenge the person he admires, he single-handedly killed the Yang family, the result is conceivable, Chu Wenhao was beaten by Yang Tai, thrown out of the Yang Mansion, feeling that the strength of the Yang family is too strong, Chu Wenhao went home to appease Shan Shan, and then entered Beijing aloneTwo years later, he became the prince of the country and the priest of wine, and the official worshiped from the four products, at this time Zhao Qiancheng also successfully entered the army and became the real power general in the southeast.

The two friends have their own power, they are ready to avenge Shan Shan, Shan Shan suddenly went crazy when he couldn't find Liu Mang, Chu Wenhao received a message from his sister, regardless of the future, resolutely resigned from Feng'an and returned to the southeast to take care of Shan Shan, but Zhao Qiancheng could only stay in the army because of the obstruction of his family, in order to get rid of Zhao Qiancheng's thoughts, the former old family owner directly gave Zhao Qiancheng a family matter, without the obstruction of his friends, coupled with meticulous care, Shan Shan's condition gradually improved, but the Chu family did not allow Chu Wenhao to marry Shan Shan, in a fit of anger, Chu Wenhao abandoned the family and returned to Feng'an with Shan Shan, bowed to Chen Lin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites at that time, and became a Lang official of the Ministry of Rites.

Speaking of this, Zhao Qiancheng laughed at himself, "Later, the writer he shined in the Ministry of Rites, rose to Zuo Shilang, and became the successor of the Ministry of Rites, your grandmother felt that it was not easy for him, and married him and gave birth to your mother, but your grandfather He was never worried about your grandmother's condition, not only began to target the Yang family, but also used his connections to find Liu Mang, what about me? ”

"What happened sixteen years ago? My aunt Shangguan Qiuyan told me in the letter that you know something about the situation, and that the matter is related to the Yang family!" Dongfang Yi asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Qiancheng turned around and said gloomily, "Sixteen years ago, it was also the sons who took the heir, your father, your second uncle, and many princes participated in it, and your grandfather was naturally favored by everyone as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but at that time, your grandfather didn't want to participate in it at all, and your mother was a restless character, wandering around the rivers and lakes all day long, and Liu Ran of the Yuxu faction, the girl of the Shangguan family, the mother of King Ling Qingwang and the queen of the dynasty married Jin Lan. ”

"What, the queen and my mother are Jinlan sisters, and the biological mother of the old seven and eight!!" Hearing the news, Dongfang Yi turned around and said in shock.

Zhao Qiancheng sneered and said, "It's not surprising that you don't know about this, because the queen was in love with your father at the beginning, and King Ling Qing's mother loved King Ping, who was the enemy of your father. ”

"No wonder, no wonder my father hasn't liked the old seven or eight very much, no wonder the mother concubine has let the old seven and eight leave her side since she was a child, and she didn't relieve it until she was older. Dongfang Yi muttered.

Zhao Qiancheng sighed, "There are not many people who know about this matter, the old man is one of them, if it wasn't for the incident that happened back then, the old man wouldn't know so much detail!"

"You keep going!" Dongfang Yi said abruptly.

"Your grandfather didn't want to participate in the seizure of the heir, but some people didn't think so, so sixteen years ago, a bloody case broke out in the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion, in addition to your mother, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu died violently in forty-nine mouths, learned the news Your mother quickly returned to Beijing, at that time the King of the South liked your mother, with his assistance, after half a year of investigation, your mother found that the Yang family had entered Beijing to secretly seek refuge in King Ping, so your mother finally targeted King Ping, and then needless to say, King Nan loved your mother and respected the writer, he directly joined your father's camp, how strong the Party of the South King wasThe Ping Wang Party is weak, and it didn't take long for it to fall under the hands of your father, and your mother, who has been blinded by hatred, carried a sword to kill the Ping Wangfu, and forced to kill the Ping Wang, Ling Wang Qingwang's mother, committed suicide in front of your mother, but before the two daughters committed suicide, they told your mother in a conclusive manner, and the Shangshu Mansion blood case had nothing to do with King Ping, and then your mother chose to marry your father for some reason, and before the wedding, she sent the ashes of your grandfather and grandmother back to the southeast, and met with the old man, and told me all the experience, so that I could find out who the Yang family was in secret, because she felt that the Yang family and the mastermind of the Chu family's bloody case were definitely implicated。 ”

After listening to Zhao Qiancheng's narration, Dongfang Yi fell into deep thought, because of Shan Shan, Chu Wenhao and the Yang family had a feud, but after so many years, did Yang Tai dare to do anything to a Shangshu at that time? Second, why didn't Chu Xueqing choose to marry Dongfang Sheng, who had stood by her side from beginning to end? After that bloody case, Dongfang Bo was the one who ultimately profited, how could Chu Xueqing choose the most suspicious person to marry? And why did Chu Xueqing only have contact with Shangguan Qiuyan all these years, and not pay much attention to the queen who was also the Jinlan sisters? What role did the queen and Dongfang Bo play behind this incident? If the queen really had a problem, how could she accept Dongfang Yue as an apprentice based on the relationship between Liu Ran and Liu Mang? Why did Liu Mang go to Feng'an to find Dongfang Bo's stubble? Dongfang Sheng was obviously the prince who was competing for the throne at that time, so why did he go far away from Mobei?

Many questions lingered in Dongfang Yi's heart, but none of them could find the beginning and the end, Dongfang Yi raised his head and muttered, "The Zhao family is the first in the southeast, can the old family master find out the details of the Yang family over the years?"

With a wry smile, Zhao Qiancheng laughed at himself, "If it is found out, Shangguan's girl will still let you come over and talk about the Liuxian skirt?" She asked you to come, in addition to letting you know the grievances between the Chu family and the Yang family, it was nothing more than wanting to use the old man's hand to startle the snake, the old man suspected that Shangguan's girl might have any clues, but she was just not sure, and wanted to borrow you and me to join forces and knock the person behind the Yang family to create an opportunity for her. ”

"Create an opportunity?" Dongfang Yi muttered.
