No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 557 Hiding in the Dark
Luo Jinyan and Zeng Wei didn't need to come to the door, the people from the Qiu Ci Department came to the door in person early the next morning.

The young head of the Qiu Ci tribe is a young man in his twenties, with dark skin unique to people from southern Xinjiang, but tall and straight.

Unlike the clansmen following behind him, this young patriarch seemed very peaceful, and did not glare at Luo Jinyan because he had grabbed his own sister.

Luo Jinyan naturally knew that this young patriarch was said to have traveled to the Central Plains when he was young, not only could speak the Central Plains dialect, but also had a good understanding of the rules, etiquette and culture of the Central Plains.

"Lord Luo." Seeing Luo Jinyan, he bowed his hands and said: "Little sister is ignorant and offended Master Luo and Master Zeng. Please forgive her this time for the sake of losing her father when she was young."

Luo Jinyan didn't intend to embarrass the girl, otherwise he would have killed her yesterday.

That girl was obviously being used by someone, and Luo Jinyan couldn't make the relationship between Dasheng and Qiuci completely deadlock for the sake of a brainless girl.

But the plan was like this, Luo Jinyan's words were not very polite, "Your sister broke into the official residence of the court officials at night, intending to assassinate, does the young patriarch think it's just rude?"

As soon as these words came out, the clansmen who followed the Patriarch Qiu Ci couldn't bear it any longer.

The patriarch's death, everywhere evidence points to Zeng Wei.

Regarding this, the young patriarch could only smile helplessly.

Luo Jinyan could clearly feel that this young patriarch was different from most people in southern Xinjiang.

Luo Jun said: "It seems that the situation is not as urgent as we thought."

Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows, so this has nothing to do with Zeng Wei?

The faces of several members of the Qiuci clan were full of resentment. If the young patriarch hadn't stopped them, they might have rushed up to argue with Luo Jinyan.

For a tribe, the future patriarch is not strong enough, which is a very ridiculous thing in itself.

The young patriarch smiled helplessly, and his deep voice silenced everyone.

After a while, someone finally said impatiently: "Then what should we do? Don't let it go like this? Regardless of whether the old patriarch was murdered by someone surnamed Zeng, it is now known all over the world. If we just let it go, How will the tribes and clansmen in southern Xinjiang see us?"

Qin Yao'er refused to go out with them, was it because she was afraid of Xie Yan?
But Luo Junyao was not worried, she felt that she would still see Qin Yao'er soon.

He himself could not deny these allegations, perhaps he was really too cowardly.

Qu Tiange said: "The Guhe tribe is standing still, the new patriarch of the Hongshan tribe is a puppet, Setu seems to be still waiting for Lord Luo's news. Over there in the Qiuci tribe... a few elders and brothers of the old patriarch are planning to deprive the young patriarch Power, choose another patriarch."

The young patriarch sighed: "I chose to believe Master Zeng at the beginning, just because I saw that the situation was not right. If I didn't come forward to suppress it, people from the Qiu Ci Department would really rush into the Xuanwei Mission's mansion and kill people."

Listening to everyone's discussion, the middle-aged man lowered his eyes to hide the pride and joy in his eyes.

The middle-aged man sneered and said: "Since the young patriarch is not willing to lead us to avenge the patriarch, then someone else who is willing will come. Let's go directly to Luo Jinyan at that time. If he still supports Zeng Wei, don't blame us. You're being polite! We've already given the imperial court face, but the men from our Qiuci department can't be looked down upon by others."

The two people next to him also echoed in unison, "Yes, the old patriarch is partial to him and insists on making him the young patriarch. But he didn't look at it. What did he learn from the people in the Central Plains? He has no backbone or blood. Ci didn't know how he was secretly ridiculed by people from Furukawa and Hongshanbu.

Luo Jinyan said: "Young Patriarch, do you know why Lingmei suddenly came to assassinate Mr. Zeng?"

Luo Jinyan said: "Since the situation of the Qiuci clan is out of control, I wonder if the young patriarch is willing to listen to my advice?"

The young patriarch is not optimistic about the self-reliance of southern Xinjiang.

"What's the difference? Isn't he just an official from the Central Plains? I heard that Luo Jinyan has a pretty face. In a place like Southern Xinjiang, I don't know how many days he can live."

Zeng Wei nodded at him, and the young patriarch naturally understood what Zeng Wei meant.

While Luo Jinyan was talking to the patriarch, several people were also sitting in the room discussing matters in another magnificently decorated mansion in Zhaoyun City.The room was a little dark, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dignified.

"The climate in southern Xinjiang is really terrible. Fortunately, I brought a lot of herbal tea prepared by Qin Yao'er when I went out."

"You can't say that." The middle-aged man sitting on the main seat finally spoke up, and said in a deep voice: "Then Luo Jinyan is different from Zeng Wei. Once he intervenes, things may not be easy."

This is not a bad news for ordinary people in southern Xinjiang, but it is not good news for the powerful patriarchs in southern Xinjiang.

He looked at the young man in front of him and said, "Young patriarch, it's not that Luo made things difficult for you. This is the comfort envoy's mansion, and Mr. Zeng is the comfort envoy appointed by the imperial court. His life and death are not only his own business, but also his own. It is related to the majesty of the court."

"Nowadays, the crowd in the clan is so excited that the young people are so agitated that they don't listen to any explanation at all."

For the dignitaries in southern Xinjiang who are in the game, they may be completing what they think is a grand hegemony.But for ordinary people in southern Xinjiang, it is nothing more than repeated disasters.

Looking at those ancient records, he has no soul-stirring heroism at all.

If he is a bloody young patriarch, he should try his best to lead the clan like the previous Southern Xinjiang ancestors to conquer the entire Southern Border first, and then lead the Southern Border warriors across the border to plunder more fertile land regardless of success or failure. .

One of the youths stood up and said angrily: "Even if the young lady broke into the Xuanwei Mission's mansion? Our patriarch died so badly, it has nothing to do with the surname Zeng! If the young lady is not eager for revenge, why would she come here? ?”

And this is also an irreversible trend.

The young patriarch signaled the clansmen to back down, and under the unwilling eyes of the few people, he walked to Luo Jinyan and sat down.

"I understand." The young patriarch said.

The young patriarch was startled, and looked at Luo Jinyan in surprise.

Outside the door, a gray shadow passed silently, without disturbing the guards outside the door at all.

"Young Patriarch, please sit down and talk." After pondering for a moment, Luo Jinyan said in a deep voice.

Luo Jun shook his chin and said: "So, we don't show up now, and the eldest brother is also delaying to deal with it, because we are waiting for the people behind the scenes to show up?"

Everyone looked at him together and said, "Then what do you mean?"

The young patriarch shook his head and said, "I can't talk about righteousness, I just... don't want Southern Border to fall into the flames of war."

If it weren't for the great elders, they might have kicked the young patriarch down from his position long ago.

After Qu Tiange sat down and drank two sips of tea, Xie Yancai asked: "How is the situation?"

He came forward to defend Zeng Wei, at least he could delay it for a few days, even if Zeng Wei managed to leave Southern Xinjiang first.

It was precisely because he understood that he firmly defended Zeng Wei.Otherwise, with his identity and current situation, how could he defend a person suspected of killing his father?

Now Luo Jinyan is in charge of everything in the Xuanwei Mission.

Even if the Dasheng Dynasty is destroyed, there will be the next Central Plains Dynasty to continue to complete this matter.

The young patriarch didn't speak for a while, and after a long time he raised his head and took a deep look at Luo Jinyan and said, "Master Luo has good eyesight, and the situation of the patriarch is indeed not very good. I am here today, not only because of my younger sister, but also because of something I want to tell Master Zeng .”

Qin Yao'er couldn't stay idle, she was bored in Shangyong, so she would definitely run outside.

Luo Jinyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Zeng Wei is an official of the imperial court, and southern Xinjiang is a territory of Dasheng. You didn't even find out what happened, so you broke into the Xuanwei envoy's mansion at night and assassinated the official of the imperial court. Why? Want to rebel?"

But if the ministries in southern Xinjiang want to kill themselves, it may not be so.

It is difficult for the young patriarch's thoughts to be understood by everyone in southern Xinjiang, including his own tribe.

Nowadays, the young patriarch's prestige in the clan is not high, and their goal is not difficult to achieve.

Luo Jinyan was thoughtful, and said slowly: "But now, there are obviously people who want to drag southern Xinjiang into the flames of war." It's just that southern Xinjiang is still a mess, and the soldiers and horses hidden by Luan Yisi in southern Xinjiang two years ago have also been captured by the court. If it is won, the tribes in southern Xinjiang will not be able to pose a threat to Dasheng if they cannot be twisted together.

"Young patriarch!" Several clansmen exclaimed in unison.

Xie Yan nodded, and said softly: "Let's go to the Qiu Ci Department to have a look."

"Thank you sir."

In the past two years, Marquis Lingchuan wiped out the remnants of the Luan Yi Division in southern Xinjiang, and Marquis Lingchuan's ability and methods also made people in southern Xinjiang quite afraid.

"My lord, my concubine." Qu Tiange opened the door and walked in from the outside. The two years hadn't changed Qu Tiange's appearance in the slightest, but the brows were more determined and sharp.

"Who said it's over?" The middle-aged man raised his eyes and said.

At least in the last hundred years, the imperial court refused to accept and took the initiative to change the pattern of southern Xinjiang.

The implication is that he is not forcing Luo Jinyan to let his sister go.

Luo Junyao smiled at him and said, "Yao'er is not willing to go out with us, is it my fault?"

From ancient times to the present, the Central Plains dynasty has stronger control over southern Xinjiang in modern times.The rejection of people from the Central Plains by the people in southern Xinjiang became weaker. As long as this continues, perhaps in another 200 years, southern Xinjiang will fully integrate into the Central Plains dynasty.

That being the case, why take the initiative to provoke a war with the Central Plains?

"Young patriarch went to see Luo Jinyan, will anything happen?" One of the men with short beards asked worriedly.

The young patriarch shook his head and said: "I originally thought they were just trying to avenge my father, but in the past two days I have seen clearly that they are not trying to find the murderer who killed my father and bring him to justice. They want to kill the court with great fanfare. The consolation envoy stationed in southern Xinjiang used my negative attitude and refused to avenge my father, and seized control of the Qiu Ci Department."

However, he did not expect that Zeng Wei did not leave Southern Xinjiang, but Luo Jinyan came instead.

The middle-aged man glanced at the speaker, and a dark light of contempt flashed quickly in his eyes, but he said: "The little boy you mentioned was once a young commander of the Dasheng Ding National Army. He is also a general with great military exploits. Holds the military power of Huaining and Ningzhou."

Seeing this, Luo Jinyan's expression softened a bit.

Hearing that the man also stopped talking, the room was completely quiet.

Xie Yan lowered his eyes and said: "Those people can't figure out the trump cards of Jinyan, so they dare not move for a while, and Ansheng will not live for a few days. In addition, even if Zeng Wei committed public anger, if there is no leader who agrees with the three major tribes in southern Xinjiang It's just a piece of loose sand, and it can't make any waves."

At that time, the situation will really be irreversible.

"I'm afraid it's not just some slander, right?" Luo Jinyan put down his teacup and said, "How many of those who followed the young patriarch just now are credible."

The young patriarch said helplessly: "Little sister is young, so I have listened to some... slander."

Luo Jinyan also understood what he meant, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Young Patriarch, for your righteousness."

After hearing this, everyone became even more excited.

In their view, his thoughts were too cowardly, and he lost the blood of a man in southern Xinjiang.

Luo Junyao was drinking tea with Xie Yan in the study, when he saw Qu Tiange coming in, he immediately greeted him, "Master Qu is back? Come and sit down and have a cup of tea."

This has always been the case for thousands of years. When the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, Southern Xinjiang would submit to the court.Once the Central Plains Dynasty weakened, Nanjiang intended to become king on its own, and then experienced the next reincarnation.

Xie Yan said: "If you bring Qin Yao'er with you, you can make herbal tea with her."

The young patriarch is under great pressure to deal with him, but now the Dasheng people have this attitude, how can they feel comfortable?

Luo Jinyan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the young patriarch. Although he knew Nanjiang quite well, he was not in Southern Xinjiang after all, and this was the first time he saw the young patriarch.

While speaking, Luo Junyao had already poured tea for Qu Tiange.

However, he can't.

Luo Jinyan said: "Young patriarch, don't worry, as long as Lingmei doesn't do anything wrong in the future, the imperial court will guarantee her safety."

If he just wanted to seize power, he might be able to bear it, but these people obviously didn't just want the power of the Qiuci Ministry.

Similarly, there are many tribes in southern Xinjiang secretly hooking up with Luan Yisi, and Lingchuanhou is not ignorant, but just wants to stabilize the situation in southern Xinjiang, so it is not easy to tear his face.

Then he turned around and bowed to Luo Jinyan, saying: "Master Luo, this matter is my sister's fault. Please forgive her for her youth and ignorance. If there is any punishment, I am willing to take it together." bear."

Everyone exchanged glances with each other, and after a while, someone said: "The young patriarch has a weak personality and is really not suitable for the position of patriarch. Let's go back and ask the great elder to hold a clan meeting to discuss this time."

I only saw a kind of helplessness as if caught in an endless cycle.

"The current situation in the clan actually has little to do with my defense of Mr. Zeng." The young patriarch said, "After my father passed away, the clan was very uneasy. Several elders who were originally peaceful suddenly fell into trouble and demanded to be killed immediately. Master Zeng, avenge your father."

The other person didn't think so, and said: "What can be the matter? The young patriarch himself wants to hook up with the people of the Central Plains, but we didn't force him. He will have to give up the position of the patriarch sooner or later. If you want me to say that the old patriarch should not have chosen He is the young patriarch!"

The young patriarch has traveled to the Central Plains for many years, and he understands the Central Plains and the Dasheng court better than the average southerner.Although Dasheng has had no time to take care of southern Xinjiang due to wars and frequent throne changes in recent years.But he also knew that as long as the imperial court was relieved, Nanjiang would not be able to resist it.

"Since my younger sister has offended Sir, why should she be taught a lesson?" The young patriarch said, "I just beg Lord Luo to save her life."

"Aren't you going to talk to big brother first?" Luo Junyao asked.

Xie Yan said: "These things can be dealt with sincerely. It's better for us to watch in the dark than in the light."

Luo Jun shook his head. Anyway, everyone is in southern Xinjiang, and they will see each other, so there is no rush.
