Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 853 Still Confused

Jiaping Guancheng Wudinghou Mansion

Hong Ye came back from the Shen family army's garrison, and walked around the Marquis of Wuding's mansion several times, but she didn't see Xue Ruitian's shadow. She felt a little strange that this guy left the garrison early and came back.

She caught a servant and inquired about it, only to find out that Xue Ruitian had been in the backyard the whole time and hadn't even had dinner.

Hongye sighed, waved to the boy, let him continue to work, and walked to the backyard alone.

There is a room in the backyard that is specially used to store the relics of the old Wu Dinghou and his wife. When Xue Ruitian is in a bad mood, he will stay there alone.

Everyone in Marquis Wuding's mansion knew that if he couldn't find Lord Marquis in the mansion, he would go there to look for him, and he would definitely find him.

Hongye walked to that room and found that the doors and windows were open. She didn't rush in, but stood by the window and looked inside, and saw Xue Ruitian sitting behind the desk opposite the window in a daze.

Hearing the movement outside the window, Xue Ruitian came back to his senses, raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Hongye sitting on the window sill, and sighed softly.

"Evening class is over? Are those boys lazy?"

"If you cheat once, you will be punished. They have been punished twice by you. How can they not remember?" Hongye sighed. Now, there is no telling when the battle with Jin Guo will start."

"That's right." Xue Ruitian smiled, stood up and walked to the window, imitating Hongye, and sat on the edge of the window, "Why don't you come in? Sit outside, isn't it cold?"

"It's not cold." Hongye shook her head, "It's been a bit hot these days, it's still very comfortable to blow some air outside, do you want to come out too?"

"No need." Xue Ruitian laughed seeing her hesitation about the arrangement, "Ask whatever you want!"

"Do you think..." Hongye looked at Xue Ruitian, "Do we have a chance of winning this time? How much chance do we have?"

"Break into Yiqing Mansion?" Seeing Hongye nodding, Xue Ruitian sighed, "It definitely won't be easy, Wanyanping is a lunatic, you can't use ordinary people to speculate at all. It's not like you haven't met her before, There is no way to predict how crazy she can go."

"That's not necessarily the case, you can't compare her at her peak with her now." Hong Ye leaned her head against the window sill, "Didn't there be rumors two days ago that those generals under her were plotting Betrayal?"

"It's just a rumor, and it hasn't become a reality. Besides, even if they betray Yan Ping, they won't lead us in. Therefore, it is very difficult for us to break through their defense." Xue Ruitian gently Shaking his head, "It's an unprecedented tough battle, get ready!"

"Understood." Hong Ye nodded lightly, she looked Xue Ruitian up and down, "Are you hungry? Do you want me to go to the dining room to get you something to eat?"

"I'm not hungry, I don't really want to eat."

"After listening to Yang Haocai's words, did you get any stimulation?"

"No." Xue Ruitian shook his head, "I just think it's amazing. More and more people are involved in this case. Who do you think has the ability to handle such a situation?"

"If it's really like what Yang Haocai said, the man in black who came into contact with Wan Yanping had a Daxia accent, then the scope is actually very small." Hong Ye looked at Xue Ruitian, "I reckon..."

Hongye didn't say the second half of the sentence for a long time, Xue Ruitian didn't rush her, just waited quietly.

"You said..." Hongye yawned, "Isn't this game a bit big?"

"How to say?"

"This bureau is older than us, isn't it? The financial and manpower it consumes is beyond our imagination." Hongye spread her hands, "I know that the person behind the bureau wants to get far more than he spent. Much more, but there are too many variables in it, he really may not be able to get what he wants, right? Is it worth spending so much effort for such an illusory goal?"

"This is a personal pursuit. Even if he knows that he will fail in the end, he will do so, do his best and obey the destiny." Xue Ruitian sighed, "Just like me, the obsession in my heart is to clear up the grievances for my mother. No matter how much it costs, I will find the truth. So, I can understand this point."

"Okay, you convinced me." Hongye nodded, "You asked me just now, who do you think has the ability to handle this game? I think there is only one kind of person who has money, power, and leisure. He can Gathered a lot of followers who offered advice, as well as thugs who carried out tasks for him. Judging from his actions, the target should be the chair in the palace, right? If this is the case, then, except for the people of the Song family, don’t do what he wants .”

"Just as I thought."

"However, this brings up another problem." Hongye stretched out a finger, "The people of the Song family have always been indifferent to fame and wealth, and they have always avoided the throne. Why did someone suddenly appear to follow him?" Your Majesty is a contender for the throne? Don't you think it's strange?"

"It's not surprising." Xue Ruitian shook his head lightly, "Actually, not all members of the Song family have no feelings for the throne, it's just the few branches that often stay in Xijing, and the side branches that left Xijing early are still happy to leave their family behind. They moved back to Xijing City. But because their ancestors made some mistakes more or less, they were demoted out of Beijing, and it is absolutely impossible to return to Beijing without His Majesty's will. Then, since others are unreliable, then It’s better to rely on yourself, show your strength, and prove that you can gain a foothold in Xijing, and you can also compete for the throne.”

"..." Hongye was speechless, "Is it so troublesome?"

"Hey, at the time of my great-grandfather, the sons of the Song family were not as withered as they are now. There were as many as seven or eight hundred children of the Song family registered in the clan's mansion. No one can guarantee that, in this seven or eight hundred Among the children of the Song family, none of them are interested in the throne, right?"

"That's true." Hong Ye nodded, "But in this way, the prospect is still ambiguous, and the current situation is better than finding a needle in a haystack, at least there is a general scope." She looked at Xue Ruitian, "What do you think about Song Do those offshoots of the family understand?"

"I don't know much about it, and I haven't seen it once in a few years. At most, I just know that there is such a person." Seeing her distressed look, Xue Ruitian smiled, "Okay, don't worry, how to narrow down the investigation I'll leave it to Song Jue to have a headache." He pointed to the notebooks on the desk, and smiled at Hongye, "Would you like to hear, this afternoon, I'm in this room The harvest you got here?"
