The old lady of the Yuan family thought carefully and said, "If you insist that there is a young man who likes you very much, I really can’t think of it. However, you sneaked out and fell into the river at that time, but a young man rescued you. When you got up, you can be regarded as your savior. Later, your uncle took the boy to live in the mansion for a few days, and gave some money and clothes when he left, as a thank you for his kindness in saving you."
"How old is that boy? What's his name?" Yuan Qing asked hurriedly.
"I don't remember the name, he was probably fifteen or sixteen years old. He was a poor child. His father died early, and his mother was widowed with him. Life was very difficult." The old lady racked her brain and couldn't remember much. Some messages, some helplessly looked at her, "What do you ask these for? Does it matter?"
Yuan Qingling said earnestly: "It's more important, grandmother, you send a letter to Duanzhou to ask your uncle's house, and to find out the name and origin of this boy. Anyway, I want to know anything related to this boy."
Seeing her so tight, the old lady said: "Okay, I will send a letter tomorrow. Duanzhou is not far away. I will ask people to go back and forth in a few days. Just wait."
Yuan Qing said: "Okay, thank you grandmother."
Back at the palace, she informed Yu Wenhao of the matter.
After hearing this, Yu Wenhao said: "You said that, it is really possible. According to our investigation of Hongye, we found that he had lived in Northern Tang Dynasty as a teenager. Her mother may be from Northern Tang Dynasty, or Xianbei may have come to Northern Tang Dynasty. The settlers, when Hongye was brought back, her mother was killed."
"Who killed?" Yuan Qingling asked.
"Xiao Hongchen investigated and said that he might be killed by Hongye's father, General Hong Lie."
Yuan Qingling looked at him in surprise, "You mean, Lord Hongye's father killed his mother?"
"Not sure, but it's very likely."
"Then when was he picked up?"
"I couldn't find out. When the Hongmeimen investigated, they found that the people who lived next to them were dead, or Hong Lie may have killed them."
Yuan Qing Ling Wenzhi was shocked, "Oh my God, if it is true, how cruel is this General Hong Lie?"
Yu Wenhao sneered, "The word cruel to describe him is really too much lighter. He is the only one in Xianbei, the party is the same, and he controls the court. Even the Xianbei emperor is just his puppet. These years Xianbei has produced several loyal and good people. , But in the end he was brutally killed by him, and he also punished the Nine Clan. His transcendent status in Xianbei today was paved with blood and head."
"It's so terrible!" Yuan Qingling murmured, really can't imagine a person so cruel and vicious, this person is still in power, do the people of Xianbei still have a good life
"The scary thing is not that he is alone, but the whole family. The Hong Lie family are all such ambitious and brutal methods. These years, Hong Lie has been pressing against Da Zhou step by step. It seems that he is going to fight Da Zhou first. But I suspect that his first goal is Beitang."
"But these years, Xianbei and Beitang have not had any antagonisms. They have been infiltrating carefully. It is only a matter of one or two years. Instead, when General Jingting came, he said that Hong Lie had arranged the fine work in Dazhou. It has been for many years, and later it was handed over to Young Master Hongye. Why do you think their primary purpose is Beitang?"
Yu Wenhao's eyes were deep, "There are some things that you don't know."
"What's the matter?" Yuan Qingling heard sweaty palms, and the waves were strange, which was beyond her imagination.
Yu Wenhao said: "I have half of the blood of Emperor Wen, the Emperor of the Kai Dynasty of the Northern Tang Dynasty. He was born of the grandson of the former pilgrimage emperor of Xianbei and a woman from the Deer Kingdom at the time. Later Xianbei fought inwardly and killed Emperor Wen’s father, Emperor Wen. So he followed his mother back to the Lu Kingdom, but he didn’t know that the emperor of the Lu Kingdom was mediocre and the people didn’t have a good life. People are the Honglie family. People in the Honglie family have always believed that we in the Northern Tang Dynasty will avenge Emperor Wen's father, destroy Xianbei, and incorporate Xianbei into the territory of the Northern Tang Dynasty."
Yuan Qing Ling was laughing and crying. After a long time of trouble, Xianbei and Beitang are actually from the same clan
Although from Emperor Wen to the present, there is not much blood left.
"So, the emperor of Xianbei now has the surname Yuwen?"
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "No, Yuwen's family has long been annihilated. Xianbei was originally a clan. Zeng stunned for a while and looked down upon the Central Plains, so he always used Xianbei as his country name. After the Duan clan destroyed the Yuwen clan, he still established the country as Xianbei. I have been sitting in Jiangshan until now, but the Jiangshan of the Duan family is afraid that sooner or later he will change his surname to Hong Lie."
Yuan Qing Ling suddenly realized, "So, Emperor Duan and Hong Lie's family think that Yuwen's family will go back to avenge and regain Xianbei? According to you, the first thing they deal with may really be Northern Tang Dynasty."
"Then Hongye..." Yu Wenhao frowned, "His attitude is very warm, he seems to be absolutely loyal to General Hong Lie, but he has not changed his surname so far, and he has made many small actions in private, which seems to be with Hong Lie's family. Discord."
"What's the status of this Hongye in Xianbei?" Yuan Qingling asked.
"There is no position and no status. Although many people know that he is Hong Lie's illegitimate son, he only stays in Xianbei as Hong Lie's counselor, and often travels to various countries. In fact, the Hong Lie family's struggle for power is very cruel, Hong Ye Lian He has no qualifications to compete, and he is often bullied by his elder brothers. People in Xianbei have a mediocre evaluation of him. However, in addition to Xianbei, he is quite famous in the other six countries."
"How is his martial arts?"
"I don't know. Some people say that he doesn't know how to martial arts, but others say that he is very advanced in martial arts. In short, there are many rumors about him in the Six Nations, but no one can verify it."
Yuan Qingling looked at him, somewhat helpless, "If Hong Lie's family insists on being an enemy of Bei Tang, I am afraid that Bei Tang is still very difficult to resist, right?"
Yu Wenhao said: "If only Xianbei is okay, I am afraid that they will form an alliance with North Desert. Fortunately, we have also formed an alliance with Da Zhou. With the new weapons developed by Da Zhou, both offensive and defensive, it is better than Bi Xianbei. Indifference is much better."
After he finished speaking, he frowned again, "If we really fight on the ground, we won't necessarily lose. We are afraid of making some tricks. Hongye is good at using tricks. This time he came to Beitang, I always feel that Not only is the military map so simple, there must be other plans."
"Have you sent someone to stare at him?"
"Staring, except for seeing Princess Anfeng, he has nothing to do for the time being, as if he really came to the Northern Tang Dynasty to play."
"It's not as inactive, at least I came to our house today and said something plausible." Yuan Qingling said.
Yu Wenhao looked at her, "As much as possible, don't see him in the future, even if he and that Yuan Qingling had known each other in the past, it has nothing to do with you, you are not that person."
"Know!" Yuan Qingling nodded, but she always felt awkward in her heart.
