The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 681 Is it God's instruction?

"It's me." Jiang Chuan's smile looked gentle.

"I happened to pass by and saw that you were in trouble, so I became a hero by the way."

"Our Xiao family is very grateful for being rescued twice by the young master. May I ask you, where are those people?" Xiao Ran seemed to realize that his tone just now was a little too excited, so he tried to calm himself down with this sentence.

"killed."

Xiao Ran's expression suddenly seemed to relax a lot.

"I want to know why these people chased and killed your family. If you want to make up a story for me, I will give you some time and try to make the story as complete as possible." Jiang Chuan continued to smile gently.

Xiao Ran's face turned hot, she really had this idea.

The identity of their family is a secret that cannot be revealed, and if it is revealed, it will lead to death. This is the truth that her father has told her since she can remember.

Looking at the silent Xiao Ran, Jiang Chuan decided not to ask further questions for the time being.

At this time, the old man Xiao also woke up leisurely, first saw Jiang Chuan in front of him, and then saw his daughter.

"Father, it was Mr. Mei who saved us again. Those people were all killed by Mr. Mei." Xiao Ran said to his father.

Old man Xiao looked at Jiang Chuan, but the gentle smile on Jiang Chuan's face made him feel a little panicked.

"Thank you son for saving me, Xiao Jingming will never forget it, and I will definitely repay you in the future." Old man Xiao clasped his fists.

But Jiang Chuan didn't see much gratitude from his face, but some nervousness and doubts.

"Don't think too much, old man Xiao. I am the one who saves you, but not the one who harms you. If there are people in this world who can help you, I think I must be one of them. Don't rush to say something now, there will be others in the future Opportunity. I have invited a doctor to treat you and your wife again."

After Jiang Chuan finished speaking, he got up and nodded, then walked out.

Xiao Jingming looked at his wife's situation and found that his breathing was steady, he felt a lot more relaxed, and turned to look at his daughter.

"Xiao Ran, who do you think this Mr. Mei is?"

Xiao Ran thought for a while, and said carefully: "His identity seems very difficult, but he doesn't seem to have any malice towards us. Daddy is worried about him?"

Xiao Jingming was silent for a while and said: "I can't say right now. This time it happened too coincidentally. I don't know how much he knows, and I don't know what he wants to do. Although it doesn't seem malicious to us now, but in Before we know his true identity and purpose, we cannot take it lightly."

Xiao Ran thought for a while, turned his head and glanced at the direction of the door, and nodded to show that he knew.

………………

"My lord, there is a result." Ji Biao walked into the room and said next to Jiang Chuan.

Jiang Chuan pointed to the opposite side of the dilapidated square table, motioning for him to sit down and talk.

Ji Biao sat down and explained the results of the interrogation one by one.

This group of people in Tsing Yi is indeed the former secretary of Song Guodian.

The status and role of Dianqiansi in Song Dynasty is similar to that of Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei, but there are also differences.Dianqiansi is mainly the god of eyes and ears and a sharp sword for the emperor of Song Dynasty to monitor his subjects and control the subjects in the country.

The responsibilities of Jin Yiwei also include the infiltration and reconnaissance of the external forces of Ming Dynasty, the scope of responsibilities is wider, and the establishment is also larger.

This old man Xiao was the second prince of the Great Song Emperor 15 years ago, named Xiao Jingrun. He was named a prince at that time. It is often said that this son is most like himself.

Therefore, in everyone's eyes, the second prince is the most likely to inherit the throne.

Fifteen years ago, the then emperor of the Song Dynasty died suddenly, and the court was in chaos.At that time, the emperor had not established a prince, so there was a turmoil among the princes for the throne.

At that time, the most likely persons were the eldest prince and the second prince.

It's just that the second prince was fighting against foreigners on the border at that time, and was not in the capital.But the eldest prince took the opportunity to inherit the throne, and immediately sent people to the border army to secretly arrest the second prince.

The second prince naturally had eyes and ears in the court, and after hearing the news, he immediately fled north with his wife and daughter who was only three years old at the time, accompanied by some generals and guards.

The first prince's people chased them all the way, and many guards and family generals died, but the second prince's family escaped, and there has been no news since then.

But even though the ascended eldest prince became the emperor, he never forgot about his second brother, and sent countless people all over the world to search for the second prince's family.

It's just that the three members of this family seem to have disappeared without any news.

Until last year, when a group of maritime merchants from the Ming Dynasty to the Song Dynasty chatted about a family of three who were performing arts, they were heard by the spies of the Dianqian Division next to them.

Then the people from the Dianqian Division found this group of Daming sea merchants, and after coercing and luring them, they got the real news, and confirmed that the second prince's family was living among the people of Daming, making a living as a performer.

When the news was reported to the Song Dynasty officials, the officials immediately ordered the Dianqian Division to send multiple ways to infiltrate Daming to search for them, and they must catch them alive.

As for why they were arrested, the people in front of the palace did not know.

These people from the Dianqian Division took the portraits all the way north, and happened to meet the three members of the Xiao family in Ancheng. After careful observation, they confirmed that they were the people they were looking for.

And Xiao Jingrun also developed a strong intuition during his years of fleeing. He sensed that someone was following him, so he immediately left the city, but he was still caught up by the people in front of the palace.

In the end, it was what Jiang Chuan and the others saw.

"I didn't expect that we would actually pick up a family of Tianhuang nobles from the Song Kingdom on the way."

Jiang Chuan tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about what the Xiao family of three could bring to him.

The Hengduan Mountains, which towered like clouds and stretched for thousands of miles, were separated from Daming and Song Kingdoms, and there were some small coastal countries after crossing the Hengduan Mountains.

After passing through these small countries, they will reach the territory of Song State.

Therefore, there is no intersection between Ming and Song on land.The only intersection between the two sides is in maritime trade, and many of them are smuggling businessmen.

It can be said that because of the barrier of terrain, there is basically no intersection between Ming Dynasty and Song Dynasty.

However, judging from the information obtained from those maritime merchants, the Song Kingdom is the most powerful country on the mainland south of Hengduan Mountain, and other small neighboring countries will bow their heads to him.

And the most important thing is that Song Guoguang opened up maritime trade and had trade relations with many countries, so Song Guo was very rich and rich.

Therefore, there are mountains in the north, oceans on both sides, and the surrounding small countries are not a threat. Therefore, the most powerful Song State is not the army, but the navy.

Jiang Chuan was also based on these reasons before, and there were still some troubles around Daming that had not been resolved, so he hadn't set his sights on the mainland on the other side of the Hengduan Mountains.

But this time, the family of three exiled princes of the Song Dynasty who happened to be "picked up" this time, could it be a kind of instruction from God to him?
