Chapter 272 Black Hand
Luo Jingnian's personal leader, A Lin, was waiting outside the Heqing Building. When he saw Qin Zhao salute, Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Your lord has arrived?"

A Lin saluted with a smile: "Mr. Lang arrived early in the morning and is waiting for the princess upstairs. I invite you to come over here." Qin Feng, who went to follow Qin Zhao, said hello and led Qin Zhao up. When Qin Zhao entered the private room, he closed the door from the outside, and signaled the clerk not to disturb the two talking, went downstairs, ordered a pot of tea, and Talk to Qin Feng downstairs.

Luo Jingnian ordered tea and snacks early, motioned for Qin Zhao to sit down, made tea for Qin Zhao himself, Fang smiled and said, "I thought you would be late."

Qin Zhaodao: "Don't dare to ask my cousin to wait for a long time."

Luo Jingnian said, "We simply ate lunch in the Heqing Building. I heard that there are some good dishes out recently."

"Listen to my cousin."

Luo Jingnian asked Qin Zhao about Shan Xiaoying's letter, and Qin Zhao explained what he meant.In her letter, she only asked Shan Xiaoying to handle those letters by herself.Specifically, it cannot be written in a letter, it needs to be told by someone in person.Otherwise, if the letter is lost on the road, there will be a big problem.

After hearing this, Luo Jingnian also felt that this was the best way to deal with it.

Qin Zhao then asked him, "Can someone be sent there?"

Luo Jingnian replied, "It's only natural."

Qin Zhao then told Luo Jingnian how to deal with the specific matters.After Luo Jingnian heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "This plan is very clever. I will send someone to bring a letter to Beiting this afternoon. If it is too late, if Anxi has already been captured by Brother Zhe, the Jiedu Envoy of Beiping will return to Beiping Mansion." , I'm afraid it's not a good play."

Qin Zhao also deeply agrees.

Qin Zhao asked about the war in Anxi again, Luo Jingnian was always by the king's side, and he knew some things better than outsiders.

Worried about the safety of everyone in Zhujiazhuang, he asked about the situation in Liangzhou.It has been a long time since I received a letter from Ah Tie Business Road, and she is really worried.

Luo Jingnian then told what he knew.Although Liangzhou was once captured, but because the Anxi Army had the city defense map of Liangzhou City and several counties under its jurisdiction, the battle was limited and the destructive power was not great. As it is in the city, Zhujiazhuang is just a village under Pingjia Town, Anxian County, Liangzhou. , presumably will not suffer much from the flames of war, Qin Zhao was relieved.

When Luo Jingnian saw that she only asked about Liangzhou and An County under Liangzhou, he frowned and asked, "I heard that your adoptive parents lived in Luoxia Town, Youzhou, and Youzhou was captured by the Anxi army. Don't ask about Youzhou, but care about Liangzhou, Ah Zhao, do you have something to hide from me?"

Qin Zhao didn't expect him to be so sharp.

How did she get here, except Qin Zhe knew, she never said to anyone in the past few years.Even if Grandpa Luo and Chen's grandfather asked about it, Qin Zhao insisted that she was exiled to Youzhou.Back then, since Qin Zhe dared to arrange things like this, he was not afraid of people to investigate.

But now, Luo Jingnian is the person she wants to live with for the rest of her life, and she doesn't want to hide it from him anymore.

What's more, there is no need to hide it now.Both she and Qin Zhe have the ability to protect themselves.As long as Qin Zhe can quell the Anxi Murong's rebellion this time, at least when Emperor Li is in power, his position in the northwest will not be shaken.

Qin Zhao looked at Luo Jingnian and smiled: "Cousin is wise. I used to hide it because I didn't dare to say it. I didn't have complete assurance. Before I didn't have enough strength, I didn't dare to put the people I cared about. Within the sight range of others. Now that I have taken Daddy Yun’s family to the farm outside Chang’an City, I have used the red sweet potato and rice to make his family safe. In fact, I have nothing to worry about. Just like my cousin What I suspect is that I do have something to do with An County, Liangzhou. From the age of three to ten, I lived in a village called Zhujiazhuang in Pingan Town under the jurisdiction of An County for seven years. They protected me all the way and kept me Like the apple of my eye, the people who raised me until I was ten years old are not from Luoxia Town, Youzhou. In fact, they are Yun Family's father and A Cainiang. The reason why I regard them as my own parents is not just for them It saved my life because they are still my adoptive parents."

While drinking tea, Qin Zhao told Luo Jingnian about his seven years in Zhujiazhuang.Including the stupid things she has done, the career she has fought for, the business kingdom she established in the northwest, and the people she cares about, Ah Tie, Ah Ci, adoptive father and mother, Bajie, Heizi, Ah Wu, Zhuzhu, thirteenth aunt, eighteenth aunt, Li Sanniang and so on.

After Luo Jingnian heard it, he thought about the suffering she had suffered and the fact that she almost died. Apart from feeling distressed, he also felt that after experiencing those setbacks, she was as tenacious as a spring grass. She always kept a bright smile on her face, as if she had never been wronged at all. Qin Zhao was moved and proud.

He always felt that she deserved the best from him.She really is worth it.

Luo Jingnian had never read the letter from Qin Huaiyong to King Murong that was attached to Shan Xiaoying's letter to Qin Zhao, and after listening to Qin Zhao's narration, he said, "In other words, Aunt Shan actually brought you and Zhe Brother Shi escaped from Beiping Mansion? Aunt Shan’s death left you and Brother Zhe living outside, among them was Uncle Qin’s handwriting?”

Qin Zhao twitched the corner of his mouth, smiled sarcastically, fell silent for a while, and said, "Jingnian Luo, what do you think?"

Luo Jingnian was silent, for a moment he didn't know how to comfort him.

Whoever's mother was killed by his father, and he has a family and can't go back, and he was born in a noble family, but he can only live in a village and live a poor life. He will not forgive such a biological father, right?

How can there be such a vicious person in the world who kills his wife and son?
And this person happened to be Ah Zhao's biological father.

How should she deal with herself.

In the past few years when Qin Huaiyong returned to the capital, what kind of patience did she have to be able to look at the man who was clearly her biological father but also killed her mother and enemy? Double happy life?

What Qin Zhao and Luo Jingnian said, the message that needs to be delivered, is just how to deal with Xin Bo in Shan Xiaoying's hands.There is no mention of Qin Huaiyong.Luo Jingnian thought for a while, then asked, "The letters in Brother Shan's hand are related to Second Uncle Qin?"

Qin Zhao nodded, and said: "Yes. Seeing that the enemy who kills the line is in front of him, but he can't take revenge, so he can only endure it, improve his strength as much as possible, and make himself a useful person, not only for living It's even better, so that one day, I can watch my enemy die, but this enemy, he gave birth to me, Luo Jingnian, do you think I'm an unfilial and disrespectful person?"

"No." The crime of unfilial piety is like treason. No one dares to touch this standard of morality and morality like the scales of life, but this little girl who smiles like a mountain flower just blooms asks him calmly, if I am a mother Revenge, killing his own father, is he not filial or fraternal, but Luo Jingnian blurted out "No" without the slightest hesitation.

Qin Zhao laughed.

"Whether it's true or not, I will do this. If people find out one day, even the entire Kingdom of David will not allow me, so what? There are always things that must be done in a person's life. I am The Northwest has built a network that can lead to the Western Regions, and let Cousin Shan organize a caravan, but for one day, if I am really intolerable by the world, I still have a way out."

"Retreat,,,,,, what about me? If there is such a day, will you just give up on me?"

Luo Jingnian looked at Qin Zhao and asked in a deep voice.

Qin Zhao was taken aback.

Yes, she liked him very much, she was tempted, and thought about being with him. With such an outstanding man, her life would always be colorful.But she never thought about never leaving.I don't remember how many years ago, she also experienced the feeling of moths to a flame, so strong, but the ending was not so happy after all.

It's not that she no longer has that courage.Just not as enthusiastic.

Her silence gave Luo Jingnian the answer he least wanted.But he couldn't say a word when he reprimanded and questioned him.

For a while, both of them fell silent.

Outside the window is the most prosperous street in Chang'an City.The sound of selling, shouting, cursing, laughing, livestock, everything is so bright and lively.

Luo Jingnian said: "I will not let you fall into that situation. Chang'an City is your home. I will always be with you. If there is such a day, I will accompany you on the roads in the northwest and the western regions .”

Speaking of this, Luo Jingnian laughed: "Life is full of regrets when you are accompanied by beauty. Don't you think it is very pleasant to have a beautiful person like me by your side?"

Qin Zhao also smiled: "That's what you said, beauty, who doesn't love her."

In exchange for Luo Jingnian's slap on the back of her head.

The two had lunch together, and they said goodbye outside Heqing Building.

Watching Qin Zhao's back turn around the corner, Ah Linfang asked Luo Jingnian who had been sitting still on his horse, "Mr. Lang, should we go back to the house, or walk around the street?"

Luo Jingnian said, "No, go to Zhuangzi outside the city. I'll go see my grandfather."

"To see the old man now?" Alinqi said, "But if we go outside the city, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it back at night, and A-Lang will still be on errand tomorrow."

Luo Jingnian said: "It's okay, I'll come back in the middle of the night tomorrow, open the city gate and go straight to the palace. Don't follow me, after I go back, I will prepare my official uniform and send it to the palace tomorrow morning." Right at the door."

"How can this be done? If A-Lin doesn't follow, is it possible for Mr. Lang to leave the city alone?"

Luo Jingnian scolded with a smile: "I'm not a three-year-old child, what's the matter, go back quickly, don't waste my time."

Allin had no choice but to agree.But I was puzzled in my heart, when I went out in the morning, Mr. Lang hadn't planned to go to Zhuangzi to see the old man, why did he suddenly go now, could something have happened?Or did Princess Fuling bring some bad news?But looking at Lang Jun's appearance, he doesn't look like him?

Unaware of A Lin's worries, Luo Jingnian went out of the city gate and galloped all the way. After more than an hour, he arrived at Zhuangzi.

When they saw Luo Che, they saw that the old man was leisurely playing chess with Li Sanniang in the old plum tree.On the contrary, life is leisurely.

Seeing Luo Jingnian, Luo Che only glanced at him, then his eyes fell on the chessboard, holding the white jade chess piece in his hand, while thinking about how to place the piece, he said, "Why are you here now? You don't even have a follower Take me, do you need me?"

Because Li Sanniang was around, Luo Jingnian was not easy to say anything, and knowing his grandfather's temper, he would not play the chessboard until he finished the game.

Then he smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just miss my grandfather, come and see you."

Roche snorted, not believing him in his heart.Just looking at this kid's appearance, although there must be something to do, it is not urgent, so he simply ignored him and put his mind on the chessboard again.

Li Sanniang knew that Luo Jingnian must have something to do with the old Duke, so she deliberately lost the game and resigned because it prevented her from talking.

Luo Che knew it well, but he didn't say anything. When Li Sanniang left, Fang said: "What's the matter, let's talk about it now."

When Luo Jingnian came on the road, he still had a lot to say, but now he didn't know how to say it.Could it be that Qin Zhao wanted to cheat his own father to death?Even though he knew very well what kind of person his grandfather was, the so-called etiquette and morality, his grandfather was probably the first person in the world to despise him.But he still didn't want to say it.

After a moment of silence, Fang said: "Grandfather, I want to use that thing in my hand."

Luo Che raised his eyebrows, and while putting away the chess pieces on the chessboard, he said, "Is that girl Ah Zhao's intention?"

Luo Jingnian was startled.

It turned out that my grandfather didn't know nothing.

Luo Jingnian replied: "Ah Zhao didn't know that I had evidence that Second Uncle Qin and Yunhe had instigated the abolished prince to force the palace. I didn't bring it up before, because I was really worried that he was A Zhao's father, and I was afraid that A Zhao would be sad because of it. , but I only found out in the morning that the death of Aunt Shan was all thanks to Nai. Why should we protect a person who can kill his wife and children? Just because he is Ah Zhao’s father and Uncle Wang’s son. Brother? Who will be responsible for Aunt Shan's death and Azhao's suffering? Grandpa, I..."

Before the words were finished, Luo Che stared at Luo Jingnian with murderous intent: "Where did you hear that Ah Nian's death was related to that bastard?"

"Azhao said it himself."

Luo Che withdrew the killing intent in his eyes, and said lightly: "What did Ah Zhao say, tell me verbatim."

Luo Jingnian told Luo Che everything that Qin Zhao told him: "...That's all. Grandpa thinks about it, why doesn't she hate her? But she can only call that person father. If it were me, I would I'm afraid I can't do it. Grandfather, I know that if I show those evidences, it will definitely hurt the friendship between our Luo family and the Wangfu, but I have to do this. Can I just sit and watch Ah Zhao embarrassed and uncomfortable for the rest of his life? forever?"

"So, you don't want to marry Ah Zhao?"

Qin Zhe looked at Roche: "Why would grandfather say that? Of course I want to marry her."

Luo Che sneered: "Usually you are calm and self-possessed, cautious and thoughtful, but when you are in critical condition, you can't tell. If you harm Qin Huaiyong, he is Ah Zhao's father after all. How can Ah Zhao marry you?"

"Ah Zhao won't care, she..."

"No matter what she thinks, whether she cares or not, as long as those people in the world who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality care about it, she will not be able to marry you."

"Should I just do nothing? Watching Ah Zhao's mother-killing enemy live happily, but can't do anything?"

Luo Che only spoke, and only looked at Luo Jingnian with a disappointed face.Luo Jingnian couldn't help being discouraged. After all, he was not calm enough, that's why he said these stupid things. He smiled wryly, and said, "I let my grandfather down. What does my grandfather mean, can I give those things to others?"

Luo Che listened, and Fang nodded in satisfaction: "Think about it carefully, what to do. Then talk to me, you need to remember one thing, no matter what you do, you must not hurt the fundamentals of the Qin family. That is Zhao's family will still be her natal family in the future. Got it? Also, we must not let any discord arise between us. Now that the court and China are not at peace, we must not mess ourselves up."

Lawrence Law should be respectful.Luo Che put away the chess pieces, hugged the chess piece, Shi Shi ran into the room, leaving Luo Jingnian alone, sitting on the stone bench under the old plum tree in the courtyard and meditating.

In just one stick of incense, Luo Jingnian entered the room. Luo Che was lying on the couch, flipping a book in his hand. On the small red clay stove beside the couch, a pot of water was boiling. After brewing new tea, he said with a smile: "Although Mr. Axian inherited the title of the Qi family, the ransacking of the house has hurt his vitality after all. Now that kid Axian is worried about how to make a comeback. Even if he is nothing Don't do it, there is a rescue, the Qi family will rise again one day, but I know Ah Xian, he has never been a person who is willing to take an ordinary path. If these things fall into his hands, he will definitely I tried to use it. In fact, Yuchi's family is better than Ah Xian's, but it's a pity that no one in Yuchi's family is in Beijing."

Luo Che said: "Since you know that Ah Xian is aggressive, aren't you afraid that if he overdos it, it will implicate your Uncle Wang and the entire palace?"

Luo Jingnian smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, Ah Xian is a smart person, of course he knows what he can do and what he can't do. Second Uncle Qin dared to move, because he wanted to make further contributions, and he didn't care about Second Uncle Qin. Besides, when the war broke out in Anxi, Second Uncle Qin, as the son-in-law of the Murong family, would have been implicated. He was just making trouble. But as long as his brains are not broken, he will never dare to provoke Uncle Wang and Princess Jinyang. Her Royal Highness, Princess Jinyang, only said that if the Qin family fell, Cousin Azhe in Beiting would be affected, how could he be spared? And now everyone knows that Cousin Azhe was trained by Uncle Wang as the heir of the palace, he If the foundation of the palace is damaged, it will be Cousin Azhe, the future heir to the prince, who will be damaged. In this case, even the British government will not spare him. Whether it is the uncle and the princess, or the court of Cousin Azhe The rightful use of the military governors, as well as the British government behind Cousin Azhe, Axian, the Marquis of Pingqing, can't afford to offend any of them now. But Uncle Qin can offend him, and Uncle Qin is down, How could Qin Yun not be affected? I'm afraid Ah Xian thought he had done something to benefit Cousin Ah Zhe."

Roche nodded and smiled, "If you think about it, just do it. Just don't make any mistakes."

"It's natural."

Only then did Luo Che ask about the situation in Beijing, Luo Jingnian picked up a few important things, and Luo Che sighed: "The current calm will not last long, and you should be more honest recently. It's settled, but His Majesty has not revealed the biggest thing about Lichu. I'm afraid it will be another storm."

Hearing his grandfather mention the establishment of the crown prince, Luo Jingnian also put a smile on his face: "Grandpa thinks, among those few, who is the most likely?"

Roche shook his head: "You don't have to worry about these things. Before His Majesty, just do your duty honestly."

Luo Jingnian didn't believe that his grandfather would have no idea about the matter of opposing the Chu, but he still respectfully agreed: "Yes."
