Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 666

"Brother, Brother Yaojia, do you feel that General Xuanyuan is still hiding something from us?"

After leaving the alley where Xuanyuan Liang's small courtyard was located, and turning back to the main street, making sure that no one was following behind, Shen Cha spoke out the doubts in his heart.

"I don't know if you feel the same way as I do. I think he hides a lot from us, and it's also very important to us." She glanced at Shen Haolin, saw him nodding towards her, "Your brother thinks so too?"

"Hey, it seems that I didn't overthink it myself. Everyone feels the same." Song Yaojia nodded towards the imperial guards passing by them, and then said to Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "I noticed that when we mentioned When he was in Tantai and Heijiaying, his expression changed very slightly, as if a certain guess had been confirmed and he was completely relieved."

"I saw it too." Shen Haolin and Shen Cha said in unison. After finishing speaking, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, "Although he recovered quickly and even coughed a few times to cover it up, but..." Shen Cha Shrugged, "It doesn't work, but it feels like trying to cover up."

"From this, it can also be concluded that he lied to us. He didn't know anything about the grievances between the Xuanyuan family and the Tantai family, as he himself said, right?" Song Yaojia rubbed his chin, " In fact, he still has something to show for it."

"The ancestral hall." Shen Haolin saw Song Yaojia raising his eyebrows, "Most main houses and ancestral halls are indeed separated, but Tantai, Xuanyuan, and the residences of several military generals are connected. , and the ancestral hall of the Xuanyuan family is in the mansion, not in two different places as we said. The old general Xuanyuan did not deny our words, but just wanted to push the boat along the way to prove that he didn't know anything. "

"But he still didn't hide it too well." Shen Cha coughed twice, then raised his head to look at the sky, "I think he had doubts in his heart before, and he doubted Tantai's relationship with the things that happened in these years. The family and the Black Armor Camp are inseparable. But he is only suspicious, and there is no evidence to prove this. And our discovery today confirms his guess, so there is that kind of relieved reaction."

"It's true, but I don't quite understand one thing." Song Yaojia wrapped his cloak tightly, "Even if it is a guess, it has not been confirmed. Since he knows that Tantai and Heijiaying may be targeting him, um , To be precise, it is aimed at the Xuanyuan family, and wants to make the Xuanyuan family pay a price, why don't you think he takes some measures? Just let the other party be so rampant?"

"What measures to take? How to take measures?" Shen Cha felt a little cold. Although the charcoal in the hand stove was newly replaced before leaving the palace, it was still not warm. She leaned closer to Shen Haolin's side, "No matter how strict the precautions It's useless, people have already seen our every move clearly and plainly in the dark. If we can't prevent crimes, there is no need for that at all!"

"All the arrangements are seen by the other party, and the other party is making certain arrangements for these." Shen Haolin shrugged, "What's the difference between this and no precautions? It's better to be like this now, and respond to all changes with the same."

"It's really not as good as it is now, his small courtyard..." Shen Cha chuckled, "It's not easy to break in! But, tell me, why is he hiding it from us? What if Telling us everything he knows, and discussing it together and referring to it together, wouldn’t it be much better than him racking his brains to deal with it all by himself?”

"Old General Xuanyuan, you don't understand, he is not a person who likes to discuss things with others. Even when he is in court, he doesn't like to talk very much." Song Yaojia smiled at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, " However, I feel that the Xuanyuan family had hidden secrets in the matter of the Fifth Prince of Liang's seizure of the throne, and it is probably because of this that some things are not easy to tell us."

"What do you mean?" Shen Cha looked at the two people who showed the same expression, "You... what do you mean? Is there anything you need to hide?"

"Xiaocha, you don't know. To put it bluntly, no family can really stay out of the matter of seizing the heir. Many families maintain the so-called neutrality on the surface, and they are not close to each other. Everyone can see their own attitudes, but they still have biases in their hearts, which can be seen from their usual style of doing things."

"From the power of the dragon, the temptation of this is extraordinary. Look at our nobles in Xijing, aren't they all in the same situation? Therefore, it is not incomprehensible for the Tantai family to have this ambition. It’s not his family that went in.” Shen Haolin sighed softly, “Let’s not talk about those important ministers and nobles in the capital of Liang State, the officials in the frontiers also moved after hearing the news, look at the ministers, Xungui will know it. The fifth prince of Liang Guo is not simple, he is a ruthless character!"

"Why did brother say such a thing?"

"About this fifth prince, I do know a little bit. He went all the way from a prince who was not very popular with Emperor Liang, no, he should be ignored, and completely ignored. A brother who is loved and has great strength, successfully sat on the throne, this person is not an ordinary person, his scheming, skill, and patience are all first-class."

"That said, it's true. Not only did he attack those who once opposed him, but he didn't show any sympathy for his own people!" Shen Cha sighed, "Those heroes who supported him all the way to become emperor almost It didn’t end well, did it? Those who survived by chance were also seriously injured, and they haven’t recovered for many years.” She looked at Shen Haolin, and then at Song Yaojia, “What special ability does the Xuanyuan family have that they can be safe and sound? Official, enjoy those fame? No wonder the Tantai family and Heijiaying think that the Xuanyuan family has betrayed their friendship. If it were me, I would have to wonder if there is something shady between the Xuanyuan family and the Fifth Prince What kind of conditions were negotiated, the Xuanyuan family relied on this to exchange for their stability and their prosperity and wealth."

"There should be some tricks here." Song Yaojia nodded, "Since the old general doesn't want to tell us for the time being, let's stop asking. When he thinks it through, or thinks he should tell us, he will naturally say so. Besides this, I have another confusion."

"That's our common confusion. His attitude towards Xuanyuan is the same as towards His Royal Highness King Ning. He wants to put them to death. It's just that the methods are different. He came clearly to Xuanyuan's family, not at all. Concealment is fatal. But for His Royal Highness Ning, a blunt knife feels like cutting flesh, and they seem to enjoy the process of watching His Highness Ning suffer." Shen Cha yawned, "His Royal Highness Ning has no grievances with them, I don't know where I offended them, and I have to be tortured by them like this."

"I'll find out when I go back today and ask Uncle Wang." Song Yaojia looked at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, "You two really won't go back with me?"

"It's too late, it's not good to disturb their rest. Anyway, the evidence is there, and I won't run away with long legs." Shen Haolin shook his head lightly, "Go back and tell them that Cha'er and I used it tomorrow. I will pay a visit to the house after breakfast."

"The commander-in-chief will interrogate the peddler tonight, and there will probably be news. Wouldn't it be great to meet up with you after we have compiled all the news?" Shen Cha smiled at Song Yaojia, and turned towards the Duke's Mansion not far away. Yang raised his chin, "We are here, brother Yaojia, see you tomorrow!"
