Xiao Heng listened attentively and was not in a hurry to express his views. Princess Xinyang was teaching him how to settle down in the Six Kingdoms, just like an experienced Costin patiently teaching his young eagle.
He will learn to accept with humility.
Princess Xinyang said indifferently: "I originally planned to lead the army to suppress them, but then I thought about it later, the price would be too high, and the life of any soldier is precious."
Xiao Heng said, "Did you change your mind after seeing Jiaojiao?"
Princess Xinyang looked at him with a dark face. She had thorns all over her body if she didn't dismantle your mother's stage for a day
Xiao Heng smiled and said, "I also think it is the best policy to succumb to the enemy without fighting."
Princess Xinyang nodded: "War is to be fought, but don't let our people fight. After all, those Long Yingwei are not vegetarians. If we deal with a hundred, we will have to die for a thousand."
This price was magnified to the extreme after seeing Gu Jiao who had returned from a bloodbath.
Not everyone is born with the responsibility of the world. She is a princess, but her consciousness is not so high.
It was indeed Gu Jiao who changed her mind.
Gu Jiao was so desperate to defend the city at the frontier, right
She is like this, and so are the soldiers of Zhao Kingdom.
… Can’t die any more.
"The people of Yan country handed it over to me, as for Mrs. Zhuang..." Princess Xinyang paused and looked at him with a half-smile, "Leave it to you?"
Xiao Heng smiled lightly: "Okay."
Princess Xinyang paused and said, "By the way, I want to remind you of one thing. What kind of cooperation should the Yan people have reached with Master Zhuang? Before Jiang Ping left, he said to General Nangong, 'General Nangong, thank you very much'."
In fact, Princess Xinyang has far more information than that, but she just doesn't tell Xiao Heng, she hopes Xiao Heng can figure it out for herself.
She can't protect him for a lifetime. He will fly alone and fly to the wider sky one day. She hopes that he will have enough ability to deal with everything.
After Xiao Heng came out of the study, Yu Jin walked in. She was standing at the door just now, and she heard everything she should have heard.
She worried: "Princess, Mrs. Zhuang is cunning and cunning. Wouldn't it be too dangerous to let the little Marquis deal with him?"
Princess Xinyang said earnestly: "The Nangong family, Yu Jin, the people who want to kill him are from the Nangong family. Can you understand how powerful the Nangong family is? The Nangong family has more than 1,000 people and 200,000 soldiers. The banker is very powerful, but compared to The Nangong family is not worth mentioning. If he can't even take down Master Zhuang, how will he compete with the Nangong family in the future? If he really doesn't have that ability, I would rather he stay anonymous for the rest of his life and never join the world!"
Gu Jiao had just gone through a battle, Xiao Heng didn't want to make her work so hard, so he let her stay with Princess Xinyang to cultivate, and he went back to Bishui Hutong to deal with Master Zhuang's affairs.
On the carriage back, he was trying to piece together a complete truth based on the clues in his hand.
Jiang Ping said, General Nangong, thank you very much.
This sentence does seem to be some kind of deal with each other.
Xiao Heng remembered another thing. When Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng were following Qin Fengyan, they heard Qin Fengyan talking with Yan people.
Qin Fengyan said, "It seems that we don't have to talk anymore."
The man said, "If you want to get your things back, you'd better do as we say."
Qin Fengyan said again, "Why is it so troublesome? Why don't I help you kill him?"
The man said: "If you can really kill him, you can come here with his head, and we will give you the things."
Judging from the conversation between the two, Qin Fengyan had something in the hands of the Yan people.
When Princess Xinyang cleared Qin Fengyan's lair, she found the money and account books left by Concubine Jing to Qin Fengyan. It is worth mentioning that Qin Fengyan has not seen those Yan people since that conversation.
In other words, Qin Fengyan's things are still in the hands of the Yan people.
They have checked all the luggage Qin Fengyan brought from the frontier, and there is nothing valuable.
That thing was left to Qin Fengyan by Concubine Jing.
Everything that Concubine Jing left behind is not simple. Could this thing be related to that thing
Xiao Heng returned to Bishui Hutong and went to the next door first.
King An has been living here these days, and his job in the cabinet has been lost. In order to force him to bow, Mrs. Zhuang has almost cut off all his escape routes, whether his colleagues or superiors, not even his former classmates. A man dared to deal with him.
Except - Xiao Liulang, who was once regarded as a thorn in his side.
Of course, there is also Huo Jijiu.
Then there is the Empress Dowager Zhuang.
The King of Anjun has recovered from the huge shock of "the queen mother actually dressed up as an old lady and hid here to play leaf cards" and "Huo Jijiu poured water for tea, work and cooking for the queen mother and paid private house money". .
Worry so much about what
His rent hasn't settled yet.
Gu Yan hired him to shovel chicken cakes every day, shovel two copper plates once, feed chickens two copper plates once, walk chickens for two copper plates once, and praise Gu Yan for four copper plates every day.
But there are only 300 coins in a month, not even enough rent for one night.
dong dong dong.
Someone knocked on the door.
King An Jun rubbed his sore shoulders and said, "Come in."
Xiao Heng pushed open the door and entered.
Anjun Wang said: "Why did you come back in the daytime? Don't you need to pay?"
The family didn't know about Gu Jiao's injury, and the Duke of Anjun didn't know either. It was really thought that Gu Jiao was taking care of her with Princess Xinyang.
"I have something to look for you."
"sit down."
Xiao Heng sat down opposite Anjun King.
Seeing that his expression was not right, King An asked, "What's the matter, with such a serious expression? Are you going to increase the rent?"
Xiao Heng: "Do I look like someone who wants to give you a rent increase? It will be increased again next month."
Prince An: I shouldn't have mentioned that!
Xiao Heng said sternly: "I have something to look for you, you can choose not to answer."
King An's expression changed: "Is it related to my grandfather?"
Not stupid.
Now that he's done talking, Xiao Heng said bluntly: "Yes, I recently found out that your grandfather colluded with the Yan people."
"People from the country of Yan? How is this possible?" It's not that Prince An is belittling himself, but that the country of Yan is a superior country, and they have no chance to connect with the people of the country of Yan? How to collude
Anjun Wang stared: "I know you don't like my grandfather, but you can't spit blood."
Xiao Heng said: "There is a force from the State of Yan that has sneaked into the State of Zhao, and it is inconvenient to disclose their purpose to you for the time being. Does your grandfather have a staff named Jiang Ping?"
Anjun Wang frowned: "How do you know?"
Xiao Heng said truthfully: "He was the one who went to contact the Yan people that day. Besides your grandfather, Jiang Ping will not have a second loyal person, right?"
There was a trace of loss in Anjun King's eyes: "Jiang Ping is not only my grandfather's staff, but also my grandfather's adopted son. The only person who can call him is my grandfather."
Xiao Heng looked at him and said, "I'm not here to convince you of this matter. From what I know now, the people of Yan country should have given your grandfather a very important thing. This thing is very likely to be Jing Tai. The concubine left Qin Fengyan's trump card, but unfortunately it fell into the hands of Yan people. You must know that Princess Jing is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and her purpose is to restore the previous dynasty, so the trump card she left to Qin Fengyan is bound to be able to subvert Zhao Zhao. Something of the imperial power. If this thing really falls into the hands of your grandfather, with your grandfather's temperament, it should not be difficult for you to guess what he will do."
Prince An was silent.
Xiao Heng continued: "I came here today to ask you, where does your grandfather usually hide important items? Of course, I also said that you can not answer. No matter what happens in the future, it will not involve you. "
After all, Master Zhuang was the grandfather of the King of Anjun.
Even if he broke up with Master Zhuang, it did not mean that King An Jun would betray Master Zhuang with peace of mind.
Xiao Heng understood this, so he did not force him.
There was a trace of struggle in King An's eyes, and after a while, he clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "My grandfather is a very cautious person, if you plan to go to his study or his yard to find things, then you may make a mistake. Wishful thinking."
"Then where will he be placed?" Xiao Heng asked.
King An said: "It depends on what it is, and his mood. He said that if you don't feel the rules yourself, others won't be able to understand you."
All he told was the truth, and his grandfather's mind was deeper than the sea.
Xiao Heng clicked his tongue: "It's really an old fox."
The King of Anjun said again: "The banker is bigger than the Marshal's Mansion, you can't find it if you search aimlessly."
Xiao Heng stood up: "If you can't find it, you have to look for it."
Tonight he asked Long Yi to find it.
"Xiao Liulang." Anjun Wang stopped him.
Xiao Heng turned back: "What's wrong?"
King An's throat slid, and he said with a complicated expression, "I'll go look for it."
