Chapter 374 Chapter 110 Eight Reasons
Hearing He Xiangshan's article, Pei You's hand holding the teacup froze.

Without waiting for his answer, He Xiangshan continued: "Thanks to the help of the son to deal with these things now. When the son leaves the capital someday, He will definitely hold another banquet to see him off."

Pei You coughed lightly, and said with a warm smile: "Then I would like to thank He Zhongcheng. It's just that I have my father's permission to come to Yingdu this time, so I'm not in a hurry to go back."

"In addition to the matter of the shrine, I have learned mystical arts and swordsmanship since I was a child, and I can be regarded as half a person in the Taoist sect. I can't completely stay out of it. Therefore, I have reported to the saint before, and I am willing to do my best and only wait for the saint to send me .”

He Lingjiang turned his head to look at him, but he had never heard him mention this matter with the emperor before.

However, now that something is going on in the Northland, and Pei Jian, king of Zhenbei, will finish the rest of the matter, so he really is not in a hurry to go back.

However, among them, how much of it is for the shrine, and how much is for her, He Lingjiang naturally has a guess in his heart.

Ah Pei has been a stubborn person since he was a child. If he is convinced of one thing, no one else can change it unless he figured it out.

He Lingjiang couldn't help having a headache.

Shao Zhan clapped his hands for joy when he heard the words: "It's so good! Shao was sighing before, and his son will return to the northern border soon. Now if he can stay in Yingdu and help me wait, it will be great!"

"Yes." Zhou Yun nodded. "At the beginning when the power of the Jingu was discovered in Linchuan, it was the eldest son and Mrs. He Qi who took down Liuyuan together, and then quelled the civil unrest in the south and wiped out the remaining thieves in the north. Both of them were indispensable."

"From now on, if the two of you can continue to work together, we will definitely get twice the result with half the effort to wipe out the remnants of the shrine and the officialdom. He Zhongcheng, what do you say?" He poked He Xiangshan with his elbow while speaking.

"Ah... yes, yes, yes, yes." He Xiangshan nodded repeatedly, but the joy on his face was somewhat forced.

Weird, weird.Zhou Yun shook his head in his heart, these words were also a compliment to Mrs. He Qi of his family, why did this He Zhongcheng look so disinterested?

There is such a brilliant little lady in the family, whoever it is, the grandpa will laugh from ear to ear when he hears other people's praise.

After a banquet, some people are happy and some are worried.

After a few people bid farewell in front of the restaurant, they went back to their homes.

Standing in the distance, Pei You watched He Lingjiang follow He Xiangshan into his carriage, the groom flicked his whip lightly, and the horseshoes clacked the people in the carriage to the distance.

When the carriage turned a corner and disappeared, he got on his horse and headed towards his residence.

He Xiangshan narrowed his eyes slightly, put down the curtain of the car, and then sat up straight.

Seeing his daughter fiddling with the chess pieces on the little table, he couldn't help worrying in his heart, then took the chess basket and twisted a white piece: "Ling Jiang, how about a game of chess with grandpa?"

There is still some distance from He's residence here, if the speed is fast, Xu Neng can just play the next game.

It was rare for He Xiangshan to have such a request, and He Lingjiang would naturally not refuse.

The two hold one side each, and they make their sons one by one.

For a moment, there was silence in the carriage.

He Lingjiang dropped another black stone to block the white stone, and asked slowly, "Grandpa, do you have something to tell me?"

Not long after the chess game started, He Xiangshan was so hesitant to make a move, and he had never seen the trend of his layout. He Lingjiang knew that his mind was not on playing chess.

It's not like He Xiangshan's temperament to be so entangled and hesitant when he has something on his mind, and he hesitates to speak up.

Unless it was about her, he didn't know what to say.

He Xiangshan put down his son and said with a helpless smile: "Ling Jiang's mind is really sharp. If that's the case, Grandpa will ask you directly."

He hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "You and Mr. Pei...what's the situation?"

Sure enough, He Lingjiang understood.

Ever since she reunited with Pei You in Linchuan, she has had many contacts.

After Yaozhou returned, she also heard that Pei You had returned to Linchuan from Yingdu, and rushed to He's mansion aggressively, questioning He Xiangshan about her whereabouts and safety.

This alone can make a sensitive person feel the difference.

The two have known each other for a long time, and they have a tacit understanding in dealing with things, and she didn't know Pei You's thoughts about her before, but now that she knows it, she naturally understands that the concern and concern are not pure friendship or family affection.

Although he hides it in front of people, but when facing He Xiangshan, he has a bit of a young boy's careful thinking, and always reveals some differences if there is nothing.

As smart as He Xiangshan, it is impossible for him not to understand.

Everything here shows that the relationship between the two is by no means as simple as the friendship of colleagues who join hands as directors.

He Ling Jiang Youyou dropped a son, and did not try to cover it up: "To tell you the truth, Grandpa, before the case of private mining of copper and iron in Nanshan, my son and I actually knew each other a long time ago."

However, she didn't go into details about how they got to know each other. She only said: "The master who taught me mystic arts has a lot to do with the son. To a certain extent, the two of us can barely be regarded as masters from the same sect..."

It is so!

No wonder the two of them teamed up to investigate the case, and they both had such a tacit understanding.

He Xiangshan couldn't help but paused holding his son's hand, hesitantly said: "Then...then you and Shizi..."

He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows, and his words were straightforward: "Grandpa wants to ask, do I have a relationship between a man and a woman with your son?"

Her voice didn't show the shyness of her daughter at all, but He Xiangshan didn't know how to answer it.

He Lingjiang tilted his head slightly, and looked at He Xiangshan with a smile: "Then, Grandpa, do you hope to have it, or not?"

The words seemed to be joking, but they made He Xiangshan's heart skip a beat.

In the previous conversation with Ling Jiang, he felt that she seemed to be a person in the Taoist sect, pursued the Tao of metaphysics, and did not get involved in secular marriage, so he was naturally worried.

Logically speaking, it would be a good thing if she really developed a friendship with Pei You.

But this, but it just can't, can't.

He Xiangshan gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice, "What if I say I don't want it? Ling Jiang, what should you do?"

He Lingjiang smiled lightly: "Of course my daughter is not doing well. It's just... I want to ask Grandpa again, why don't you allow me?"

Since entering Yingdu, He Xiangshan has repeatedly warned himself to keep a distance from Pei You and the Zhenbei Palace. Even after getting the emperor's permission to go to the north with Pei You to investigate the case, he still looks worried.

It seems that He Xiangshan's scruples are not just as simple as He's rehabilitating and improperly making friends with a king of a different surname who holds a heavy army, which will only arouse the suspicion of the emperor.

You must know that the He family is just a family. Even if it is a hundred years old, there are not a few such families in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty. The power behind them is even more complicated. However, the He family walked on thin ice everywhere, lest it arouse the suspicion of the emperor?
Fifteen years ago, the whole family moved back to Linchuan. Since then, the clan members have not been in official positions and have not been able to go to Beijing. Fifteen years later, even though they were recalled by the emperor, they are still cautious.

What was He's reason that aroused the emperor's suspicion?
