Chitose words

Chapter 222 Secret Letter
Fortunately, Ling He did not keep Xie Zhao and Han Changsheng waiting for too long.

In just two cups of tea, he came out of the most powerful imperial tent in Hanyong in the Northern Dynasty, all beard and tail intact.

The imperial guards outside the imperial tent did not know whether they had received orders from Emperor Han Yong, but no one stopped him.

Ling You walked to them and stood next to them. He looked at the two of them with a solemn look, opened his mouth slightly, and then pursed his lips tightly.

Han Changsheng was impatient and couldn't bear to see him like this, so he couldn't help urging:
"What's going on? Why did the emperor pull you into the emperor's tent? Is he trying to praise you for your rescue? Or -"

Xie Zhao silently observed Ling You's expression for a moment, and suddenly raised his hand gently to stop Han Changsheng from breaking the casserole and asked him what was going on.

She whispered: "Don't worry, this is not the place to talk."

Han Changsheng said "Ah" and suddenly said: "Yes, yes, I was too hasty."

At this moment, Princess Jiuwei in the Yuwenbu Wang tent suddenly walked up to them.

She glanced at them coldly for a moment, gritted her teeth secretly, and asked in a low voice:

"I would like to ask you, is there any connection between His Majesty's assassination and you?"

Xie Zhao and Han Changsheng shook their heads immediately without any hesitation or thought.

Xie Zhao sighed and said: "Your Royal Highness, we abide by the rules and laws and have no intention of causing trouble."

Han Changsheng became anxious, and said: "Hey, princess, the three of us, that's all green onion mixed with tofu! You can't unjustly accuse me!"

Ling You didn't say anything, just frowned and shook his head gently.

Tuoba Jiuwei said coldly: "It's best, otherwise"

She was as cold as ice, with a cold glow in her eyes.

"Don't think that you dare to do whatever you want with the protection of your consort. If you have ulterior motives, plot to kill His Majesty and implicate the Ministry of Yuwen, I, Tuoba Jiuwei, will not let you go!"

After saying this, she turned and left.

Han Changsheng stared blankly at Princess Jiuwei's back, turned to look at Xie Zhao and Ling You, and said:
"We didn't do anything. How could she look at us like a criminal? This woman from the Northern Dynasty really has a bad temper as rumored."

Xie Zhao smiled faintly, scratched her nose and said:

"However, it's no wonder that Princess Jiuwei suspected that my first encounter with her was indeed not pleasant."

However, although Princess Jiuwei deliberately came to test and warn them, she turned her head and still managed to get them around in front of the Imperial Guards, acknowledging their status as envoys from the Hulu Holy Altar.

Of course, she did this not to protect Xie Zhaoling or them, but to protect the name of the Yuwen Department.

After all, Erxiao Wang Yuwenyi was responsible for the placement of forest animals during this Guangling martial arts festival, but now an assassin has sneaked in.

According to His Majesty's decree just now, the second young Wang Yuwenyi will be demoted to half a rank of Lord.

Not only that, even the eldest prince Yu Wenyu, who was recuperating in the Arruo Grassland, would soon go to Beijing in person to apologize to the emperor.

At this time, if the identities of Xie Zhao and his party were also in doubt, wouldn't it be possible for Yu Wenbu to jump into the Ming River to clear their identity?
Therefore, even though Princess Jiuwei annoyed them to death, she could only hold her nose and admit it, and she also took the initiative to "wipe the butt" of Xie Zhao and others.

Therefore, Xie Zhao and the others were not interrogated like other generals of the Yuwen Department, so they could find an opportunity to retreat calmly.

They first returned to the guest room in Nanyuan of Princess Jiuwei's mansion, and then gathered in Xie Zhao's room.

Bo Xi never interfered much in their "private affairs". During this period, whenever they discussed matters, she had always been very careful to avoid suspicion, and most of the time she would stand alone outside the hospital on guard.

However, Xie Zhao and the others have never deliberately avoided her.

As soon as the door was closed, Han Changsheng couldn't bear it anymore.

"What's going on? Why did Emperor Hanyong summon you alone? What did you say?
Have you found out whether he was involved in the evil deeds of the late Emperor Tuoba Xiao? "After Ling You was silent for a moment, he spoke without surprising Wang Zha.

"Northern Emperor Tuoba Hong is actually my biological father - the one who designed and 'created' another important chess piece that had the royal bloodline of the Northern and Southern Dynasties."

Xie Zhao suddenly raised his head and looked at him blankly.

Han Changsheng was stunned.

He pressed his ears, as if he thought he was hearing something.

The next moment, Xie Zhao had come to her senses and quickly entered the state. She frowned and asked, "Did he say it himself?"

Ling You paused for a moment, with an indistinguishable look of sadness and joy on his face as he recounted the key points of what Emperor Hanyong Emperor Tuo Bahong said in the imperial tent earlier in a concise and concise manner.

After he relayed it, he handed Xie Zhao the letter written in Xijiang's Fenglan script that Tuoba Hong had collected and kept in his arms.

The speed at which Xie Zhao calmed down was simply astonishing, and he had already started to lower his head and read the letter with a calm expression.

For a moment, none of the three spoke.

Everyone seemed to be silently digesting this sudden and incredible "story".

Han Changsheng was confused.

motherfucker.
He originally thought that when he returned to Guangling City this time, Ling would at most find an opportunity to approach Tuoba Hong, the emperor of Hanyong, as the leader of the Guangling Martial Arts Festival, and test whether he knew any clues about the "Shaoguang Sword Immortal" back then.

Unexpectedly, Ling or his casual move not only saved Shengjia, but even asked such an outrageous answer!

Is this the end of the matter?

Han Changsheng had an unpredictable expression on his face.

Ling or he didn't get any clues here, but directly asked the truth and the results!

It was Tuoba Hong, the dignified Emperor Hanyong of the Northern Dynasty, who blew himself up.

Is there such a good thing?

After Xie Zhao put down the letter in his hand, Han Changsheng quickly asked.

"Azhao, can you read Xijiang's Fenglan characters?"

Xie Zhao nodded lightly, muttered, and said vaguely: "You can understand better."

When she was young, she had a heavy workload in the Shentai Palace. Not to mention the official texts of the Four Realms, even the secret Sanskrit language of Xuan Zhi You Xuan, which is known as a foreign language, could not trouble her.

Of course, I used to be energetic and clear-headed.

In the past two years, after her energy and physical strength were low, she occasionally felt a little powerless when she thought too much.

Ling You said in a deep voice: "Previously, Tuoba Hong had asked Han Yong's translator to translate the meaning of this letter.

Tuoba Hong said that the letter didn’t seem to have any key information, and it just mentioned my mother’s name.

The letter stated that the spies sent to Tianchen of the Southern Dynasty reported that the news of the death of "Shaoguang Sword Immortal" was confirmed, and suggested that the late Emperor Tuoba Xiao of Hanyong should be cautious and beware of the counterattack of the Southern Dynasty. "

Xie Zhao nodded slightly, a trace of confusion and sadness flashed between his brows.

"That's right, so Tuoba Hong didn't lie to you. There is indeed no other useful information in this letter."
