auspicious time has come

Chapter 43
"Thank you, General Yin, for reminding me, I don't need it for now." Heng Yu insisted.

She breathed a sigh of relief, eager to hear the result and determine the origin of those people.

Yin Hai smiled and didn't try to persuade him much, but took a deep look at his general - he did everything, it's a pity that he didn't appreciate it.

But Meng Dazhusi and his general were afraid of the cold recently, and they closed the four hall doors with two subordinates.

While everyone was waiting for the result of the interrogation, the female envoy Chun Juan passed the news to Mrs. Xiao's ears.

"What? Say it again!" Mrs. Xiao was about to take a rest, but when she heard the words, she sat up from the bed.

Chunjuan hurriedly said: "It turns out that the gentleman took someone out suddenly, and he went out of the city to find a painter—"

"Not this sentence!"

"Painter Ji met a group of vicious gangsters outside the city, but fortunately he was safe and sound, and all those gangsters have been brought back by Mr. Lang for interrogation—"

"It's not... the last sentence!"

Chun Juan thought for a while: "Master Ji came back on the same horse as Mr. Lang...?"

"That's right!" Mrs. Xiao's face was radiant, she put her hands together in front of her body, and the smile on her face seemed to be the sweetest caramel: "This is it!"

Chunjuan was stunned: Madame's focus seems to be off the mark?

"What do you think I slept so well!" Mrs. Xiao was delighted, but also regretted that she couldn't see it with her own eyes.

The mother-in-law and the maids looked at each other.

It's late at night, who will not sleep well...

"Ma'am..." The mother-in-law sighed softly, and reminded her wife who was in charge at the right time.

Mrs. Xiao came back to her senses, and regained a sliver of reason: "Look, I almost forgot again, a little girl, Ah Heng, is no more heartless than me!"

Saying that, he suddenly lifted the quilt and got out of bed: "Change, go and see if my family, Ah Heng, is scared!"

When Mrs. Xiao led people to the hall, Wang Jingyong also brought the results of the interrogation.

"General, I have checked clearly, they are Xi people."

"Xi Ren? No wonder the appearance and stature are similar to those of Khitan people!" Yan Jin suddenly said.

Heng Yu frowned in thought.

The Xi people were originally the Huns, and now, like the Khitans, they are a threat to the great prosperity of the northern land.

But Xi Ren...how could he have any grievances with her Aunt?
Wang Jingyong continued: "These people originally belonged to the Chuli Tribe of the Xi Clan, and the person at the head was Yanlu, the leader of the Chuli Tribe whose life and death were unknown in the battle between the Chuli Tribe and the Shi Family Army more than ten years ago—— "

Hearing the word "Shi Jiajun", Mrs. Xiao's eyes darkened slightly, she glanced at Xiao Mu indistinctly, and said, "I have vaguely heard of these people. It is said that in the battle many years ago, the Chu Li tribe was defeated. It was taken over by our Dasheng army, and its leader fled with a group of people to nowhere... so it was hiding in the Yingzhou area?"

The relationship between these nomadic tribes and tribes is also close and sometimes distant. After that, the Xi tribe first joined Dasheng, and then rebelled with Khitan successively. After years of wars, no one cared about the whereabouts of Yanlu and others. Most of them have already been scattered, or it may not be swallowed up by any tribe.

Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, this Yanlu would suddenly appear at this time.

"But why did they focus on Ah Heng?" Mrs. Xiao looked puzzled.

Wang Jingyong hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xiao Mu asking for instructions.

Xiao Mu nodded slightly, motioning for him to say.

Heng Yu grasped her sleeves slightly, almost holding her breath.

But Wang Jingyong said: "It seems to be related to Princess Yongyang."

"Princess Yongyang?" Mrs. Xiao was greatly surprised: "What does this have to do with Her Highness the Princess?"

Xiao Mu said calmly: "If I remember correctly, in the battle with the Chuli tribe more than ten years ago, the leader of the army was Shi Minhui, the Duke of Shu at that time, and Princess Yongyang served as the deputy general under his command. job."

Everyone in the current imperial court knows that before the Shi family's accident, Princess Yongyang followed Shi Minhui in battles for many years when she was young, and the friendship between the two is better than brother and sister.

What he has heard and seen over the years has given Heng Yu some understanding of this.

First, the old wounds suffered during the battle, then the son-in-law died early, and then the collaborators of the Shi family were beheaded by the entire family - His Highness's body gradually collapsed like this.

When the current sage was still a prince, he was taught by her Aweng Kaimeng. At that time, Shu Guogong was still young, and the current Zhongshu Ling Jiang Zhengfu was accompanied by the prince. The princess Yongyang, who was loved by the late emperor, also followed him. , all four of them are students of her Ah Weng.

Therefore, the sage, Jiang Zhengfu, His Royal Highness the eldest princess, and later Shu Guogong Shi Minhui, who was convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason, all had a friendship of studying together and growing up together.

It's a pity that things are unpredictable in the future, and the affection of childhood and youth failed to support the changes in people's hearts after all——

As for who changed, it is not easy to conclude easily.

Heng Yu thought about the past for only a moment, she noticed that Xiao Mu seemed to glance at her, and then she heard him say: "Bring Yan Lu here—"

He wanted to ask about this in front of her.

This is exactly what Heng Yu wanted.

She had to prove for herself what this person's real intention was to attack her.

Not long after, a man in black was brought into the hall.

The man was stout, about forty years old, and a long, hideous scar slanted across most of his face.

His hands were firmly tied behind his back, and Wang Jingyong pressed him tightly to kneel in the hall, his eyes full of murderous aura.

Those murderous eyes quickly found the girl sitting there, and the chill immediately increased.

Heng Yu looked at him without fear.

Obviously, this man wanted to kill her.

When he was outside the city just now, the arrow that Xiao Mu intercepted should have come from this person.

"I have never met Your Excellency—" Heng Yu looked at the man and said slowly.

The man sneered: "Nonsense, you are a little yellow-haired girl, are you worthy of knowing me! When I killed the Quartet, you were still in your mother's belly! The reason why I killed you is because of that bitch Yongyang!"

Probably because he knew that there was no hope of escape. The man who had been hiding in Tibet all these years, and who was obviously in a bad situation, seemed to want to vent all the resentment and resentment in his heart——

"I heard that bitch got retribution, died of her husband, and ended up in an unprecedented end! God has eyes!" He laughed as if relieved, and stared at Hengyu again: "She hides in the capital and dare not show her face , I couldn’t kill her, so I simply killed the closest person around her to relieve my hatred! I’ve checked it all these years, and she couldn’t give birth by herself, so she regarded the daughter of her teacher, Ji’s family, as her own! So I told her to try Taste the feeling that life is worse than death!"

"On the battlefield, winners and losers, you are so brooding just because of the defeat in the past, it is too inferior to kill an innocent little girl after so many years." Yin Hai Shaking his head, he sighed.

"You know what a fart! Back then, Yongyang was the one who acted despicably first!"

Yin Hai frowned slightly - it seems that there is something else going on?
