Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 400 Yelunan's Thoughts

Yelunan left the inn with a few entourages, and did not hurry to the palace as Shen Cha and Jin Jing thought.

He rode a horse around the street, went to the three post houses to learn about the new situation, and confirmed that the envoys were not acting as monsters, and they were all honestly staying. Go in the direction of the palace.

The winter in Linhuang Mansion this year is extremely cold, the cold wind hits the face, it hurts like a knife cut.All the people on the street were wrapped up like a ball and staggered when they walked.In addition to the ankle-deep snow on the ground, there is also a thick layer of very solid ice at the bottom, and it is easy to fall if you are not careful.The Liao soldiers who are in charge of patrolling will remind pedestrians from time to time to walk carefully so as not to slip and fall.

Yelunan has been different from others since he was a child. He likes the cold, but he is impatient with the heat.He once said that he really enjoys the feeling of being so cold that it can freeze people to death.Yelulan and Qi Zhifeng, who grew up with him, agreed that it was because Yelunan was born in a world of ice and snow that they felt close to the cold.

Yelunan felt that what they said had some truth, but not all of it. The most important point was that this heart-wrenching cold foot could make him calm down completely and think carefully about some issues.

Recalling the performance at the inn just now, and the reaction of Shen Cha and Jin Jing, Yelunan couldn't help showing a wry smile. His temptation might have affected their cooperation with Shen Jiajun, but the impact should not be great , Just make up for it with your heart.

Everyone is a smart person, he believed that Shen Cha and Jin Jing could see his difficulties, and he would not blame them too much, let alone affect their private relationship.After all, he is responsible for the security of a city, and if something goes wrong, he is also to blame.Besides, he never believed that Shen Jiajun had no eyeliner in Linhuang Mansion. Although his imperial sister had a strict mouth, she would occasionally pretend to say a half-sentence accidentally.They also followed the clues given by Sister Huang to investigate, but unfortunately, they found nothing.

"Master!" The guard's voice interrupted Yelunan's thoughts, "Seeing that the sky is cloudy again, it seems that the snow will not be light, let's go back quickly, lest..."

"No hurry, no hurry!" Yelunan waved his hands and said calmly, "It's only a few steps away, so it's okay. Even if it's snowing heavily, it doesn't matter, we can just enjoy the snow scenery."

Seeing his calm look, the guard sighed lightly, didn't stop persuading him, and quietly took a few steps back.

Seeing that the guard had stopped talking, Yelunan continued to think about his thoughts.

To be honest, he was a little surprised that Shen Jiajun's eyeliner didn't pass back the news about Yeluling, obviously they were also very concerned about the two old generals.Looking at Shen Cha and Jin Jing's unbelievable expressions, it was completely an instinctive reaction, without any deceit.

He stretched out his hand and scratched his chin, looked at the increasingly dark sky, and wrapped his cloak tightly. Perhaps in the hearts of everyone in the Shen family army, Yeluling was not qualified enough for them to care too much.Compared with Yeluling, they paid more attention to Xiao Fengqi.

Thinking of the relationship between Yeluling and Xiao Fengqi, Yelunan felt his head hurt again.Detaining the killers of Xiao's family around the city and publicizing their crimes, the news will definitely reach the palace and his uncle Wang's ears.His Uncle Wang is a shrewd person, before Yeluling used members of the Xiao family to assassinate Qi Zhifeng, this time the Xiao family assassinated the Great Xia Mission by themselves, the ghosts would not believe that the two had nothing to do with each other.What's more, his Uncle Wang is the kind of person who is extremely suspicious. In his eyes, he can find some clues about the disappearance, not to mention the fact that the evidence is conclusive.

Yelunan sighed softly, but knowing that Yeluling and Xiao Fengqi had a relationship, so what if he knew that Xiao Fengqi had given Yeluling the idea of ​​"killing people to silence him" before, this was all confessed by Yeluling's servants, According to Liao Law, it cannot be presented as serious evidence at all, unless Yeluling or Xiao Fengqi admits it himself.

But Yeluling is dead now, and Xiao Fengqi...Yeluling couldn't help but sneered, that kid would never admit it, he would clean himself up and push all these things to the Xiao family on others.And the Xiao family will help him find a few insignificant scapegoats in order to keep him as a rising star.

Yelunan rubbed his forehead. In fact, he very much agreed with Shen Cha and Jin Jing's suggestion. Now is not the best time to confront the Xiao family. Apart from pretending to be deaf and dumb, there is no second choice.Of course, this is not admitting cowardice, it is just avoiding his edge temporarily and thinking about it in the long run.

Although his uncle Wang has continued to attack the Xiao family since he came to power, on the surface, the power of the Xiao family has been severely frustrated, and the children of the family have almost no place in the court. Even if there is a position, it is insignificant and completely unable to control the right to speak The Xiao family has worked hard for nearly a hundred years, and if they were uprooted so easily, they would not be worthy of being called a rich and famous family.

Thinking of this, Yelunan felt his head hurt even more. Since he came back from the Kingdom of Jin, he has been at the core of the court. Over the past few years, the details of all the forces in the Linhuang Mansion have been sorted out.But the more I learned, the more I felt that pulling out the cancer of the Xiao family could not be done in a day or two, and it would definitely not be possible within a few years.The Xiao family has controlled and manipulated the government for many years, and their forces are deeply intertwined, beyond what ordinary people can imagine.Not to mention anything else, how many noble families in Linhuang Mansion have not married daughters of the Xiao family?How many families are not the daughters of the Xiao family as the mistress?If we really want to sort out this relationship, the Liao Kingdom is not far from being destroyed.

Apart from these messy family relationships, what Yelunan cares most about is the private soldiers raised by the Xiao family. He had already heard Shen Cha's hint about this when he was at the inn just now.When the Xiao family shone brightly on the battlefield, the Shen family army suffered a lot from the private soldiers of the Xiao family. Although it has been two or three years, the memory is still fresh.

Yelunan asked himself, even the Shen family's army was not completely sure to completely defeat the Xiao family's private soldiers. He, who had never been on the battlefield and only talked about wars on paper, had no clue.The Xiao family's private soldiers were like a mountain, lying in front of him.If this mountain could not be conquered and destroyed, even if he and A Lan got the throne, they would be restrained by the Xiao family.

"Young Master Nan! Young Master Nan! Young Master Nan!"

Yelunan sighed, why is it so difficult to think about something, someone always comes to disturb him.He looked back at his guard slightly dissatisfied.

The guard looked innocent and pointed in front of him, "Master, he is the person next to Shizi."

"Your Majesty?" Yelunan turned his head, only then did he see Mu Xia, the guard next to Yelulan, riding a horse, and said with a smile, "It's so cold, why are you sweating so much?"

"My lord, you..." Mu Xia looked anxious, "Go back and have a look, the king lost his temper and the whole study was smashed!"

　After staying up all night writing a thesis, I have a headache!
