The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 588: Mother-Child Link (Part 2)

Xiao Heng listened carefully, and was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Princess Xinyang was teaching him how to settle down in the Six Kingdoms, just like an experienced Hai Dongqing patiently teaching his young eagle.

He will humbly learn to accept.

Princess Xinyang said indifferently: "I originally planned to lead the army to destroy them, but after thinking about it later, the price would be too high, and the life of any soldier is precious."

Xiao Heng said: "You changed your mind after seeing Jiaojiao, right?"

Princess Xinyang looked at him with a dark face, if you don't tear down your mother's platform for a day, you have thorns all over your body?

Xiao Heng smiled and said: "I also think that subduing others without fighting is the best strategy."

Princess Xinyang nodded: "We have to fight, but don't let our people fight. After all, those Dragon Shadow Guards are not vegetarians. If we deal with a hundred, we will die a thousand."

This kind of price was magnified to the extreme after seeing Gu Jiao who returned from the bloodbath.

Not everyone is born to take the responsibility of the common people in the world. She is a princess, but her consciousness is not that high.

It was indeed Gu Jiao who changed her mind.

Gu Jiao also defended the city so desperately in the frontier, right?

She is like this, and so are the soldiers of Zhao Kingdom.

...no more people can die.

"Leave it to me from the Yan people, as for Mrs. Zhuang..." Princess Xinyang paused, and looked at him with a half-smile, "Leave it to you?"

Xiao Heng smiled lightly: "Okay."

Princess Xinyang paused, and said: "By the way, I would like to remind you of one thing. The Yan people should have reached some kind of cooperation with Zhuang Taifu. Before leaving, Jiang Ping once said to General Nangong, 'General Nangong, thank you very much'."

In fact, Princess Xinyang has far more information than this, but she just doesn't tell Xiao Heng, she hopes that Xiao Heng can figure it out by herself.

She cannot protect him for the rest of his life. One day he will soar alone and fly to a wider sky. She hopes that he has enough ability to deal with everything.

After Xiao Heng came out of the study, Yu Jin walked in. She was guarding the door just now, and heard everything she should hear.

She worried: "Princess, Mrs. Zhuang is a treacherous and cunning man. Is it too dangerous for the young master to deal with him?"

Princess Xinyang said earnestly: "The Nangong family, Yujin, the person who wanted his life came from the Nangong family. Can you understand how powerful the Nangong family is? The Nangong family has more than a thousand members and 200,000 soldiers. The dealer is very powerful, but compared to The Nangong family is not worth mentioning. If he can't even bring down Taifu Zhuang, how will he compete with the Nangong family in the future? If he really doesn't have that ability,

I would rather he remain anonymous for the rest of his life and never enter the world! "

Gu Jiao had just gone through a battle, Xiao Heng didn't want to make her suffer so much, so she asked her to stay with Princess Xinyang to cultivate, and he went back to Bishui Hutong to deal with Mrs. Zhuang's affairs.

On the carriage back, he was trying to piece together a complete truth based on the clues in his hands.

Jiang Ping said, General Nangong, thank you very much.

This sentence really seems to have reached a deal with each other.

Xiao Heng remembered another thing, when Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng followed Qin Fengyan, they heard the conversation between Qin Fengyan and Yan Guoren.

Qin Fengyan said: "It seems that we have nothing to talk about."

The man said: "If you want your things back, you'd better do as we said."

Qin Fengyan said again: "Why bother? How about I kill him for you?"

The man said: "If you can really kill him, you can. Bring his head and we'll give it to you."

Judging from the conversation between the two, Qin Fengyan had something in the hands of Yan people.

When Princess Xinyang cleared Qin Fengyan's lair, she found the money and account books left by Concubine Jing to Qin Fengyan. It is worth mentioning that Qin Fengyan has never seen those Yan people since that conversation.

In other words, Qin Fengyan's things are still in the hands of those Yan people.

They checked Qin Fengyan's luggage from the frontier, and there was nothing valuable.

That thing was left to Qin Fengyan by Concubine Jing.

The things left by Concubine Jing are not simple, could this matter be related to that thing?

Xiao Heng returned to Bishui Hutong and went next door first.

King An Jun has been living here these days, and his job in the cabinet has been lost. In order to force him to bow his head, Taifu Zhuang almost cut off all his retreats, no matter whether he is a colleague, a superior, or even his former classmates. A person dares to talk to him.

Except—Xiao Liulang, who was once regarded as a thorn in his side.

And of course Huo Jijiu.

And then there's the Empress Dowager Zhuang.

Anjun Wang has recovered from the shock of "the Queen Mother actually dressed up as an old lady and hid here to play the leaf card" and "Huo Jijiu actually served tea for the Queen Mother, worked and cooked, and paid private money" .

What are you worrying about so much?

His rent has not been settled yet.

Gu Yan hired him to shovel chicken cakes every day, 2 copper coins per shovel, 2 copper coins per feeding, 2 copper coins per walk, and 4 copper coins per fancy boast to Gu Yan, so there are ten copper coins per day.

But it's only three hundred coppers a month, not even enough for one night's rent.

Boom boom boom.

Someone knocked on the door.

Prince An rubbed his sore shoulders and said, "Come in."

Xiao Heng pushed the door open and entered.

King An Jun said: "Why are you back in broad daylight? Don't you need to be on duty?"

The family members didn't know about Gu Jiao's injury, and King An naturally didn't know about it, and it was really assumed that Gu Jiao was taking care of her at Princess Xinyang's side.

"I have something to look for you."

"sit down."

Xiao Heng sat down opposite King An.

King An saw that his expression was not right, so he couldn't help asking: "What's the matter, with such a serious expression? You don't want to increase the rent, do you?"

Xiao Heng: "Do I look like someone who wants to increase your rent? It will be raised next month."

Prince An: I shouldn't have mentioned this!

Xiao Heng said sternly: "I have business to ask you, you can choose not to answer."

King An's face changed: "Is it something related to my grandfather?"

Not stupid.

Now that he had spoken, Xiao Heng simply said: "Yes, I recently found out that your grandfather had colluded with the Yan people."

"People from the Yan Kingdom? How is this possible?" It's not that King An is belittling himself, but that the Yan Kingdom is a Shang Kingdom, and they have no chance of contacting the people of the Yan Kingdom? Why collusion?

King An Jun stared and said: "I know you don't like my grandfather, but you can't spout blood."

Xiao Heng said: "There is a force from Yan State that has infiltrated into Zhao State. It is inconvenient for them to reveal their purpose to you. Does your grandfather have an aide named Jiang Ping?"

King An frowned: "How do you know?"

Xiao Heng said truthfully: "He was the one who went to contact the Yan people that day. Jiang Ping will not have a second loyal person besides your grandfather, right?"

A hint of disappointment flashed in King An's eyes: "Jiang Ping is not only my grandfather's staff, but also my grandfather's adopted son. The only person who can command him is my grandfather."

Xiao Heng looked at him and said: "I'm not here to convince you of this matter. According to what I know now, the Yan people should have given your grandfather a very important thing. This thing is most likely Jingtai The trump card left to Qin Fengyan by the imperial concubine, but it is a pity that it fell into the hands of the Yan people by accident. You must know that Concubine Jing is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and her purpose is to restore the previous dynasty, so the trump card she left to Qin Fengyan is bound to be able to overthrow Zhao. If this thing really falls into the hands of your grandfather, with your grandfather's temperament, you should not be difficult to guess what he will do."

King An was silent.

Xiao Heng continued: "I came here today to ask you, where would your grandfather usually hide important items? Of course, I also said that you don't need to answer. No matter what happens in the future, you will not be implicated. "

Zhuang Taifu is the grandfather of Prince An after all.

Even if he broke up with Taifu Zhuang, it doesn't mean that King An can betray Taifu Zhuang with peace of mind.

Xiao Heng understands this, so he doesn't force him.

There was a trace of struggle in King An's eyes. After a while, he clenched his fist and said in a low voice: "My grandfather is a very cautious person. If you plan to go to his study or his yard to find something, you may make a mistake. Wishful thinking."

"Then where will he put it?" Xiao Heng asked.

King An said: "It depends on what it is, and his mood. He said that if you don't feel the rules, others will not be able to understand you."

All he told was the truth, and his grandfather's mind was deeper than the sea.

Xiao Heng clicked his tongue: "It's really an old fox."

King An Jun said again: "The banker's house is bigger than the Marshal's Mansion, you will definitely not find it if you search aimlessly."

Xiao Heng stood up: "If you can't find it, you have to look for it."

Tonight he asked Long Yi to look for it.

"Xiao Liulang." King An called to stop him.

Xiao Heng turned around: "What's wrong?"

King An's throat slipped, and he said with a complicated expression: "I'll go find it."
