Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2261 No More Regrets 8.0

When Xiao Fengqi heard Shen Cha say that Wanyan Qingmu had no trace at the moment, and no one had seen him alive or dead, he sneered.

"Don't worry, General. That guy won't die, and he's reluctant to die. He must have found a place to hide. After all, he has torn his face with the Qinglian Sect and has completely fallen out with Wanyan Ping. If Wanyan Xi returns to Yiqing Mansion, he will settle accounts with him first, right? Besides, he has been courting death before. The people around him may not be so loyal to him. I guess they are thinking of joining forces with outsiders to deal with him!" He took a sip of tea and snorted coldly, "If he is still showing off outside at this time, he will die sooner or later. Although he has a bad temper, he still has a good brain. He knows that he has ended up in this situation, so it is more important to save his life. As for the throne, it is better to give it up for the time being."

"We thought so too." Shen Cha nodded gently, "Now we just want to find out where he is. If he is in the territory of Jin, we don't have to worry about it. We are just afraid that he will run to our side or your side."

"No!" Xiao Fengqi waved his hand gently and said with certainty, "He should know that those who want to kill him, those who want his life, including us, will never surrender to us. If he runs to you, you will definitely hand him over to Wanyan Xi. If he runs to us, we will also hand him over to Wanyan Xi, and he will eventually die. What he can do now is to find a place with his confidants and trusted people to hide their identities, recuperate, and wait for the right opportunity to run out and cause trouble again."

"What Master Xiao said makes sense." Shen Cha nodded, "It doesn't matter. We should all be more vigilant. We should be prepared for the worst, right?"

"The general reminded me that I believe that the two princes will strictly check the border after receiving the general's letter and will not let go of any suspicious people." Xiao Fengqi smiled and looked at Master Jiang. "It's rare to see your highness, so I still want to hear more stories about my great-aunt. When she was still alive, she rarely mentioned her own affairs. Even if she was interested and had free time, she would talk to me about the past, and she would talk about interesting people and interesting things she met when she was young, but she didn't mention you very much." He looked at Master Jiang, "It seems that she didn't mention you very much."

"Not a lot?" Mr. Jiang nodded. "We agreed to mention each other to others as little as possible. The reason you know me is because you were raised and brought up by her. You know about the portrait and some of their secrets, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Fengqi nodded gently, "She knew she couldn't hide it from me, so after I grew up, she told me some things about you."

"What did you say?"

"It's mainly about the Jiangnan Salt Administration case. If it weren't for your help, she would have died in Jiangnan, let alone regaining the position of head of the family." Xiao Fengqi looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, and then at Mr. Jiang, "Can I tell you about this?"

"Of course, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I omitted some things and did not tell my brother or my brothers." Master Jiang looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "The stories you know are simplified. Although Xiaonan is also in it, many of the things we experienced were erased by me."

"Erased? Why?" Shen Cha frowned slightly, "Because it's hard to say?"

"If I tell them, they'll worry. There's no need for that."

"It's very dangerous?" Shen Cha looked at Xiao Fengqi, "So, Master Xiao knows about it?" "A little bit, not much." Xiao Fengqi sighed softly and said, "My great-aunt didn't say much, just said that the trip to Jiangnan was extremely dangerous and they narrowly escaped death. It was a fluke that they were able to find out the truth and uncover this shocking case. If it weren't for someone's secret help, both she and His Highness would have died long ago."

"Is it so serious?" Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at Mr. Jiang at the same time, "My master, Qi Bo and Yan Bo don't know either?"

"I don't know. I never said it." Master Jiang smiled. "After all, we have already escaped death. What's the point of mentioning it again? But I think my brother knows it. After all, he sent the people who saved us. He just knows that I don't want to mention it, so he never asked about it."

"Since it's already happened in the past, it should be okay to talk about it now, right?" Shen Cha thought for a moment, "Jiangnan has always been the territory of the Qinglian Sect. Even though it has been besieged several times, the Qinglian Sect still has a deep foundation in Jiangnan. Even now, some of the big families in Jiangnan are still subservient to the Qinglian Sect and are willing to work for the Qinglian Sect at the risk of having their property confiscated and their families exterminated."

"You mean?" Master Jiang frowned slightly, "We probably know everything now, but things from a long time ago might be hidden, so we don't know. But if we look at some major events back then, we might be able to infer that there are some big families secretly working for the Qinglian Sect, right?"

"Yes, that's what I mean." Shen Cha looked at Xiao Fengqi, "The Green Lotus Sect has many goals. It can lay a big net in Daxia, and the same is true in Jin. This time, Master Xiao took the opportunity to overthrow his own family to expose the families that work for the Green Lotus Sect, but..." She sighed softly, "Master Xiao, can you guarantee that the remaining big families in Linhuang Prefecture, no, those nobles, have not flirted with the Green Lotus Sect?"

"." Xiao Fengqi was silent for a while, then sighed softly and said, "I can't guarantee it. Some are hidden very deeply and really can't be found."

"So, we have to unravel the story from the past and see who else and which family is involved." Shen Cha thought for a while, "Second Grandfather, those who killed you back then were not just people from Jiangnan, right?"

"Smart!" Master Jiang snapped his fingers lightly. "In the entire Jiangning Prefecture case, we encountered about 17 or 18 assassinations, some of which were from the big families in Jiangnan, but the rest were from the Liao Kingdom. But we didn't know it at the time. It was Xiaonan who found out after returning to Linhuang Prefecture. When I was on a diplomatic mission to the Liao Kingdom, I met her and she told me the truth of the investigation. We both felt that it was really not easy to survive such multiple attacks."

"Please tell me in detail what happened back then!"

"No hurry!" Master Jiang looked at the place not far away, "Have you been eavesdropping for too long? Come out, if you want to listen, listen openly!"
