Chapter 331 Gossip
An Yi looked at Xie Mantang and said very seriously: "It's really good luck. It's the emperor's grace. If the Holy Majesty is not a wise king, you wouldn't dare to be so bold."

Xie Mantang was very satisfied, she understood what he meant, although she made a great achievement, she could not claim the credit.She was the one he was looking for, no matter what happened to him or what he did, she would never hold him back and would stand by his side.

"An Yi, it's hard for me to imagine that you are the biological daughter of your father and Ling Tang." Xie Mantang tilted his head and looked at An Yi, with a bit of a joke and a bit of a question in his tone .

An Yi said with twinkling eyes, "Don't you think I don't look like them?"

Xie Mantang shook his head and smiled lightly: "That's not true." She knew exactly what he meant, her knowledge and ability, as well as her set of etiquette and literary accomplishment that ordinary ladies are not capable of, are not what people like An Baoliang and Xue Shi can do. It can be raised.But she wanted to lead him in another direction.

An Yi went to the corner and washed her hands with water from the copper basin, without looking back, she said, "So you think my parents are not good enough?"

Xie Mantang made her laugh: "Why don't I think you are bad?"

An Yi took it for granted: "You're going to talk about marriage with me, of course you can't think I'm bad, that's because you think my parents are not good enough."

Realizing that this issue could not be pursued any further, Xie Mantang wisely chose to surrender: "I was wrong. In fact, you are very similar to your father. They both want to accomplish something without regard for life and death. The determination is surprising. Great." Successfully brought the topic to the issue of the fall of An Baoliang and Chang Li.

"Your father narrowly escaped death and obtained a roster. Once this roster is published, it will confirm the fact that the Huang family rebelled. Simply put, there are a total of 20 famous and well-known Feilongguan soldiers in the imperial court. In fact, Feilongguan There are nearly [-] soldiers in total. So many people need to be fed, but the money, food, and supplies allocated by the imperial court every year are all there is, so what should we do? There are only continuous troubles, continuous wars, and the burning of grain depots , Some people were killed, some caravans were robbed, and the Huangs and his sons had to fight another small victorious battle before the rewards and supplies would be distributed.

Relying on this alone is not enough, so we need to think of other ways, for example, if the entire state capital around Feilong Pass is tightly controlled, most of the tax money and food collected will be easily distributed to support those unnamed soldiers. If disasters are reported every year and poverty is called every year, more money, food, cloth and silk will be distributed continuously.

What your father is holding in his hand is such a roster that records the names of real soldiers.So Mrs. Huang wanted his life, so he had to die.After General Huang Er was shot to death by my arrow and the alliance between Mohe and Awu was broken, the Huang family quietly opened the secret road in Qinglong Mountain, allowing their private soldiers raised outside the pass to enter the pass in the name of Mohe. It was Changli who was rushing to go. "

Why did the Huang family take such a big risk with great fanfare?That's because Feilongguan is not monolithic, and the emperor can't just sit back and watch the Huang family dominate for so many years. Naturally, among the generals and local officials of Feilongguan, there are emperors.As an important pawn, An Baoliang was of course protected by someone specially assigned to him. He missed the first opportunity, and now, it is impossible for Huang to get rid of An Baoliang silently, so he can only find another way.

There are several advantages to letting private soldiers disguise themselves as Mohe iron cavalry. First, it can ensure that the initiative is held in hand, preventing the real Mohe people from disobeying orders after entering the customs, causing the situation to expand beyond control; second, it can burn, kill and loot. Fan, seize the money and food and take the opportunity to get rid of dissidents; thirdly, it can be used to put pressure on the emperor, so that the emperor dare not act rashly, and win a chance for the Huang family to breathe.

Now that General Huang fell ill at this time, he told the world indirectly that his Huang family had been greatly wronged and suppressed, so he gave the Mohe people a chance to take advantage of it.It is conceivable how much reputation and support he will get when the emperor satisfies the Huang family and the old general Huang comes out again to drive away the "invaders" with arrogance.

An Yi wanted to understand the link in this, and couldn't help but marvel: "The Huang family is too courageous, and what they did was really vicious." The people in Feilongguan regard the Huang family as a protective god, and they almost want to worship them. But doing such a thing for selfish gain is really outrageous.

"Those who want to plan big things are always bold. This just gave me a chance. I was worried that no one would believe that Huang Jia had ulterior motives and wanted to rebel, so they sent them to the door by themselves. Zhou Jingang and I teamed up to bring this The Mohe cavalry stopped him. So in the near future, the Huang family will definitely jump over the wall." Xie Mantang asked Anyi with a smile: "I've been talking for a long time, why don't you ask about your father's whereabouts?"

An Yi said calmly: "If something happened to him, you wouldn't be so complacent in front of me, how could you show off?"

"That's true." Xie Mantang said: "On the night when the rebels captured Changli, your father led his people to fight to the death on the top of the city. He was shot and almost became a dead soul under the knife, but he refused to give in at all. His bravery made people admire him. After the city was broken, he was carried and retreated to hide. In order to protect the roster, he was hacked on the back of the head with a knife, and almost died. Thanks to the respected teacher, he was safe and sound."

An Yi frowned unhappily. It seemed that she had misjudged him. She thought that the reason why he didn't say anything was because An Baoliang was fine. Only now have I spoken to her.

Xie Mantang is very smart, just by looking at her expression, he already knew what she was fussing about, and said: "In short, there is nothing serious about your father, if I told you earlier, it would not help, but it would only increase your troubles." That's all." Turning the subject, Sarai said, "Those thieves just retreated, and your father just escaped from danger, so he forced himself to bring soldiers and civilians to rebuild the city defense, comfort the injured people, and his real reputation has risen this time, so he asked me to bring it back. I got the roster. I came back after a narrow escape, and the first thing I said in front of the Holy One was his achievements, don’t you think I haven’t done well enough?”

It's obviously a plea for mercy, but he said it as if he was showing off. This person is always so annoying.An Yi patted his forehead affectionately, as if to spare him: "My master and uncle are all well? Where's old Mr. Xiao Fa?"

Xie Mantang said: "Mr. Master and Mr. Xiao are all well. Is it true that my son is a little critically ill. According to your master, I will probably escort her to Beijing to recuperate after a while. When it comes to medicinal materials, it is still the most abundant in Beijing."

Although it was a result known for a long time, An Yi couldn't help feeling sad for Kou Zhenzi.
