Chapter 72
The capital city, Shenyin Mansion.

Nan Gongchang walked down from the observatory. Today is the first month of Nangong Xing's entry into Xingluo Mountain. During this month, Huai Xiaoling meditated every day in the Buddhist hall and prayed for her daughter.

At this time, everyone was gathered under the stargazing platform, even Nangong Su, who had always been indifferent, was a little flustered at this time, he didn't know if his sister could come out safely, it was a place that he had never even known.

Nan Gongchang took Huai Xiaoling's hand, looked at Nangong Su and said, "We can arrange for someone to go to Liuzhou. I think Xing'er will stay in Liuzhou for a few days."

Hearing that everyone's mood that had been gloomy for a month suddenly brightened, they wished they could rush to Liuzhou now, but all of this had to be arranged by Nangongsu.

Nan Gongchang held Huai Xiaoling's hand and walked towards the bedroom step by step, but his footsteps became heavier, Huai Xiaoling also felt something strange about him, and before he could speak, Nangongchang suddenly fell to the ground.

The faces of Nangongsu and his wife turned pale in an instant, and the entire family was busy, covering up the news.In the current situation, once others find out about Nangongchang's accident, it will be a catastrophe.

On this day, a group of people left the city gate from Duke Shenyin's mansion. No one knew the leader, even the sixth person next to him, but he still couldn't stop the fire in his eyes.

Because his name is very simple, ordinary people only call him Xigongzi.At this time, in Shenyin's mansion, Nan Gongzi, who had never shown his face before, also stepped out and stood on the high platform, looking around the entire capital.

Liuzhou.

Nangong Xing originally wanted to go directly to the capital, but when he was about to enter the border of Liuzhou, he suddenly encountered robbers. Nan Gongxing sat in the car and watched the bandits blocking the way, while Huai Yunqian was still wiping Shu Sie in the car.

"My lord, there are often bandits running around here, my lord, don't be alarmed!" Han, the person in charge of the white-clothed waiter in Liuzhou's territory, explained to the two of them. Huai Yun took a deep look at him when he heard the words, which made his hair stand on end.

"Since you know there are bandits fleeing, why don't you arrest them?" Nangong Xing gave Huai Yunqian a look, snatched the pastry from Han Chao from his hand, and asked while eating.

Han Chao took a cautious look at Huai Yunqian, and saw that he was not dissatisfied, so he swallowed and explained: "The princess doesn't know, in fact, many bandits here are not what they want, they are really forced to do so. It is only when weeds become bandits."

It turned out that although Xun Qian, the governor of Liuzhou, had a good official reputation in the capital, his reputation in Liuzhou was rotten. He not only searched for the common people, but also dealt in flesh and blood and thieves everywhere.

Some people couldn't stand it, and called some refugees to rebel, but after all, they are a group of farmers who only know how to farm, how can they beat Xun Qian?
In the end, not only did he lose his head, but the land that the family depended on for their livelihood was also confiscated. A few years ago, Xun Qian was a little scrupulous about doing things. In the past two years, he may have seen other things in his mind when he saw Rongdi oppressing the border.

According to the information obtained by the waiter in white, Xun Qian has often let officers and soldiers pretend to be robbers over the years, while robbing merchants, while bullying men and women to search the people's fields, making Liuzhou a mess.

"If that's the case, why didn't you report it earlier?" Huai Yunqian's face was a little ugly, and Han Chao said helplessly: "My lord, it's not because my subordinates didn't report it, it's because my lord really didn't know that Xun Qian was so unreasonable!"

Ever since Xun Qian started doing this kind of business, he began to let the Liuzhou camp block the entry routes everywhere, and all routes, large and small, had to be interrogated before they could enter.

The governor of the Liuzhou camp is his wife and brother, and the two of them worked together to make Liuzhou their own business. Han and North Korea sent letters every once in a while, but neither the fast horse nor the eagle could fly. The capital was also approached by Xun Qian because of this.

To be honest, the person in charge of Liuzhou is really useless. In other state capitals, waiters in white clothes walk sideways. How can there be a precedent of being stepped on by others?

After listening to Han Chao's description, both Huai Yunqian and Nangong Xing noticed something strange, and Huai Yunqian asked directly: "The waiter in white clothes has always been in internal contact, how did Xun Qian know about our communication path and What time?"

Not only Han Chao couldn't answer, but even the waiters in white clothes in Liuzhou couldn't answer. Nan Gongxing glanced at them and didn't speak. She didn't speak until they left.

"Your vision of seeing people is so ordinary. You didn't even notice that there were spies among these people?" Nangong Xing could see through other people's thoughts with just a casual glance.

As long as she is not a person whose secrets are blocked, she can see through other people's thoughts at a glance. This is the change brought to her after the eighth level of astrology.

"Not everyone is like you. I know there are Xun Qian among them, but they can't tell who they are like you." Huai Yunqian only deduced it based on experience, but he still needs to verify who it is. .

At this moment Nangong Xing suddenly stretched out her little hand, Huai Yunqian was startled: "What do you mean?"

"Give me the jade pendant in your hand, and I'll tell you who the traitor is, how about it?" Nangong Xing blinked, she could see that the jade pendant in Huai Yunqian's hand had an extraordinary origin.

Now she can see many unusual things, such as the jade pendant emitting a shimmer, which she has only seen in her father's study.

Although she didn't know what it would do, she could feel that the jade pendant would be of great use to her, so she, who had always been cunning, wanted to exchange information for the jade pendant.

Huai Yunqian gave her a funny look, took off the jade pendant and handed it to her involuntarily: "You have a good eye, and this was snatched from the king's tent at the beginning, but I haven't found out what it's useful for so many years. , but you want to leave."

Nangong Xing caressed the warmth and coolness of the jade material, feeling the hot feeling in the blood faded a little, then took the jade pendant back: "Anyway, it's useless in your hands, why not give it to me!"

"Then can you tell me who is the traitor now?" Huai Yunqian didn't bother to argue with her, anyway, he couldn't tell her in the end, so let her search for it.

"Oh, this, I forgot!" Nangong Xing tilted his head upon hearing this, deliberately provoking Huai Yunqian's bottom line, Huai Yunqian rolled his eyes, and lay down on the carriage to doze off.

Nan Gongxing made a face at him, and leaned on the Luo pillow to watch the commotion outside the window. It was the movement of the bandits being arrested by the tenth band.

"Hey, didn't you say you're coming here to find your relatives? Did you find them?" Nangong Xing remembered the New Year's Day, Huai Yun opened his eyes when he heard the words, and there was a gloomy look in his pupils.

It's not that he hasn't been found, it's just that he missed that time, and he seems to be nowhere to be found.Neither Han Chao nor Shang Kun searched in private, but they couldn't find the uncle.

"Maybe it's just like my father-in-law said, if we miss that time, we won't be able to see each other again." Huai Yunqian looked out of the window, while Nangong Xing looked at his lonely figure, pursing his red lips tightly.

After a long time, Huai Yunqian felt upset and wanted to get out of the car for a walk. Seeing his movements, Nangong Xing finally made up his mind: "I think I can help you find your relatives."

Huai Yunqian paused, and turned to look at Nangong Xing's small face. At this moment, she was apologetic. After all, if it wasn't for her, perhaps Huai Yunqian would not have missed that opportunity.

She just wanted to return Huai Yunqian's favor as much as possible. After all, it was Huai Yunqian who helped her all the time, and she had never helped him.

Now that she finally has the ability to help, she also wants to help him find his relatives.Huai Yunqian suddenly smiled and said, "Let's talk about it first, there is no jade pendant this time!"

"Who cares about your broken jade pendant!" Nangong Xing waved his small fist and blushed slightly, Huai Yunqian smiled slightly when he saw her calm down, and then said softly, "Thank you."

"You can still say these two words?" Nangong Xing gave him a blank look, and then picked up the pastry on the side to eat. He didn't have any appetite before, but now he suddenly has an appetite. This lady is so self-willed.

"My lord is frightened. It is true that the exiles gathered together to become thieves, and now they are under the control of the tenth brother!" Han Chao reported the situation at the carriage exchange, and the two came out of the carriage.

Seeing the noble clothes of the two, those refugees showed a numb look on their faces. For them, survival is a luxury, and they can't control how other people live.

"Let them go!" Huai Yunqian couldn't help but sighed inwardly as she watched the thieves who brought the old and weak women and children to fall into the grass.

This is the Dazhi he keeps talking about. He has seen too many things like this from the north to the south. Those refugees did not have any surprise on their faces when they heard that the noble young master let them go.

For them, death is far easier than life, especially those sallow and emaciated children, holding their mother's hand and looking at them without any fear.

"The lord let you live, and you still don't want to leave?" Han Chao drove them on his horse, but they just stood there, waiting quietly for the tip of their gun to be swung down.

"Why don't you want to live?" Huai Yunqian walked down. He actually knew what these people were thinking, but he knew that Nan Gongxing couldn't understand, and he needed to let her know something.

"Alive?" The leading man smiled desolately, his laughter was mixed with the ruin of his family and his dissatisfaction with the world.

"Do you know that my wife, children and old daughter were all forced to death by you people, and now I am the only one living in this world, what is the difference between living and dying?" The man pointed at Huai Yunqian and cursed more and more vigorously.

Nangong Xing listened silently, she never thought that someone would not want to survive, but she didn't know until she saw the scene in front of her.

It turns out that there are people in this world who really would rather die than live, and she finally understands why her father and Huai Yunqian are so dissatisfied with the current emperor.

The emperor was supposed to be the father of all the people, leading them to live and work in peace and contentment, but he was obsessed with power schemes and checks and balances. Did he ever have the people in his heart?
Just when the man was scolding, the emaciated mother and son suddenly fell down behind him. Seeing this, the man just smiled desolately.

This is their fate.
