Therefore, it must have been Xiao Changyan who took action, and he may have noticed Xiao Changyan's actions, which is why he coincidentally passed the letter of safety to Xiao Huayong the day before his disappearance. This was an advance hint to Xiao Huayong that he was not in danger now.
"King Jing suspects that you are involved with King Yan?" Shen Xihe felt that it was normal for Xiao Changyan to be suspicious.
He has not been in Kyoto for several years, so his control over Kyoto is certainly insufficient. Xiao Changgeng has been too submissive in the past two years. It is not reasonable to say that we completely believe that he has no one to help him.
"It may not be me." Xiao Huayong shook his head slightly.
Xiao Changyan only guessed that Xiao Changgeng might have already been associating with other people, and had contact with his later brother, most likely with the intention of being a spy. However, the Pei family began to decline with the death of Pei Zhan, and Pei Ce was a talented person, but he was still young and incompetent.
Xiao Changyan couldn't bear to reject a brother who was very likely to depend on him, had good abilities, lived in Kyoto for many years, and knew Kyoto like the back of his hand. So he had to take ruthless measures to test him. Perhaps...
Testing is secondary. A more ruthless move is to force Xiao Changgeng to break with someone even if he really has someone behind him, and to use him completely from then on.
"Are you going?" Shen Xihe couldn't guess what Xiao Huayong was thinking at the moment.
Logically speaking, they knew Xiao Changyan's thoughts, and Xiao Changgeng also wrote a letter personally suggesting that he should handle everything himself. Xiao Huayong should not go, but Xiao Huayong gave her the feeling that he did not want to ignore her.
Sure enough, Xiao Huayong said, "Go, go meet Xiao Ba and see how much he has become capable over the years."
All roads in Dengzhou were blocked by landslides, and even the news from His Majesty did not arrive in time. However, Xiao Changgeng just disappeared last night, but the news was delivered to Xiao Huayong this morning. What does this mean
This means that Xiao Changyan noticed that there were people around and deliberately leaked the news, but he was not sure who sent these people.
If Xiao Changyan had the ambition to be an emperor, he would be a stumbling block between him and Shen Xihe. Since he has issued a challenge, how could he not accept it
The other is Xiao Changgeng. Although Xiao Changgeng has sent a letter hinting that he can handle it himself, no one can predict how Xiao Changyan will act.
Xiao Changgeng is the right-hand man cultivated by Xiao Huayong for Shen Xihe. Even if he is gone in the future, with Xiao Changgeng in place, whether Shen Xihe is ruling the country from behind the curtain or controlling the government, there will always be someone standing in front of her. Anything she is unwilling to do or is not suitable to take the blame for, can be done by Xiao Changgeng.
Therefore, he could not let such a great general be disappointed.
"Let me go." Shen Xihe stopped Xiao Huayong.
Dengzhou is now a dangerous place, with countless unexpected events. Shen Xihe doesn't want Xiao Huayong to take risks. Another reason is that Tao Zhuanxian is also in Dengzhou, so she can go and take care of her grandfather.
Seeing Xiao Huayong shaking his head, Shen Xihe hurriedly asked, "Why did you go to Dengzhou?"
The Crown Prince is weak and sickly. Wouldn't this just cause trouble if he went to Dengzhou
Even Emperor Youning would not let him go, unless Xiao Huayong pretended to be sick again, found a substitute to guard the East Palace, and went to Dengzhou secretly himself.
"Tian Yuan and I can cover for you, but His Majesty is watching my every move all the time. If you go to Dengzhou under the pretext of illness as usual, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get away with it."
