Bright Spring

He couldn't help but think of the brigade of Han Palace again.Judging from the official documents sent by the post station yesterday, it may only take about ten days for the family members of the Han Palace to arrive in Hengzhou City.Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a little impatient, and really wanted to see them right away.

With warm smiles and gentle demeanor, although they are weak but warm, they all care about Zhu Gaoxu's love.Zhu Gaoxu just imagined, and the ice in his heart melted a lot.

At this moment, Miao Jin's voice said: "The scar is healed and the pain is forgotten, don't you remember how uncomfortable the wind and cold were last time?"

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head and glanced at Miao Jin, and seeing her beautiful face that was concerned and pretending to be cold, he felt better, and his heart became completely warm, so he flattered his face and said, "Okay, can't I follow orders?" ?”

Miao Jin's face turned red, and she almost didn't laugh.

The two walked into the study.While busy changing the cold tea, Miao Jin said: "Princess and the others are coming soon? The concubine repeatedly asked me to take care of you. If Gao Xu falls ill as soon as she arrives, how can I face the concubine? "

"Miao Jin, I've wronged you." Zhu Gaoxu said suddenly, "It's all because of my greed, I want everything."

Miao Jin froze all over, froze for a while, turned her face away and remained silent for a long time.She finally turned her head, with a slight smile on her face: "You are a vassal, I should have known about these things a long time ago."

Chapter 554

On the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, the daytime in Huguang was cloudy, and there was a light rain last night.The weather was extremely cold at this time, with a northwest wind blowing all the time.

A post road in Baoqing Mansion has been occupied by a long procession, accompanied by horse-drawn carriages, leaning poles, flags, card fans, and a large number of horses and horses.The people and horses were mighty, as if they occupied the whole road.

This team is the officials, palace people and family members of the Han Palace, as well as many guards.They passed through Yiyang County a few days ago, and they were already on the boundary of Baoqing Mansion.

The weather was cold, and apart from the brigade from Hanwang Mansion, there were only a few passers-by on this road...

At this time, far behind the group of people, there was a pedestrian on the road.She is a middle-aged woman with a piece of blue cloth wrapped around her head, leading a horse and walking slowly on the road.The direction she was walking was also towards the south, and she seemed to be on the same path as the Han Palace team.

The middle-aged woman is Duan Yang!

When she was in Yunnan back then, she was still a charming woman, and a sergeant in the Mu family was so fascinated by her that he lost his life in the end.But in the past few years, Duan Yang has been homeless and seems to be living a very bad life. Her hair is already gray, and the skin on her face is also sallow and wrinkled. She looks older than her actual age, as if she has aged 20 years in a few years!

Duan Yang didn't care about his haggard appearance.What makes her most desperate is that while her physical strength is declining, the financial resources she can rely on are also rapidly drying up!

Back then, Duan Baoji and other members of the Duan family did not dare to associate with her because of Duan Yang's secret investigation of Jianwen; the exposure of the Agu Temple in the southern suburbs of Kunming wiped out all the relatives of the Yang family who were hiding there... Duan Xuehen, Duan Yang's most powerful assistant and adopted daughter, has also turned against her; because of Mu Bin's death, Duan Xuehen is most likely looking for her to seek revenge!

Moreover, the Duan Yang family has not been making a living these years, and the Duan family's property has long since been sold out; now, even the money she saved is almost spent.

If this continues, Duan Yang can clearly foresee that she will become a useless person in a short time, and maybe even her own livelihood will become a problem!It can be said that she has nowhere to go, and is getting desperate.

The blood feud is endless!Duan Yang saw with her own eyes that not only was the Mu family not unlucky, but they were about to make a fortune again!

In the helpless anger and despair, the determination to throw everything at one's fingertips gradually became firm in Duan Yang's heart; she tried to calm herself down, and finally decided that there was no other way.

At that time, her plan was to find an opportunity to assassinate Mu Sheng regardless of her own life, one life for one life!But later, Duan Yang was a little reconciled, because besides Mu Sheng, there were other men in the Mu family; anyway, she was dying, so why not make a big one?

If Duan Yang wanted to eradicate the Mu Mansion by herself, she definitely didn't have the strength; after much deliberation, she could only rely on others.

Repay the heart of death, kill the King of Han!

When Duan Yang thought of this method, he quickly thought it was the best choice.Assassinating the King of Han is of course very difficult to succeed; but it is also difficult to assassinate Mu Sheng. Mu Sheng has encountered assassins more than once, and he knows that there are many enemies.

And as long as the king of Han is killed, the rebellious Han king's mansion will be defeated.Then, in the near future, the Ming court will definitely help Duan Yang's revenge and completely eradicate the rebellious minister and thief Mu's house!

She had already made up her mind to die.

Duan Yang just happened to hear that the people from Han Palace were going to Huguang after he went south from Sichuan Chief Envoy.She thought to herself: when the family members of King Han's mansion arrive there, they will definitely go to see King Han immediately!

So Duan Yang chased after him all the way, intending to find out where the brigade of the King of Han's mansion was going, and then follow the vines to find out where the King of Han lived...

At this moment, a rider from the south suddenly came towards Duan Yang.

Duan Yang stood still and watched for a while, feeling that the man riding the horse seemed to be a low-ranking general.When the young general arrived in front of Duan Yang, she had no intention of running away, she just stood there and bowed her knees, and said: "Cao Min has seen Jun Ye."

"What are you doing?" the young general looked Duan Yang up and down.

Duan Yang immediately opened her mouth, thinking about her own blood and blood, almost instantly, her nose became sour, and big tears rolled down her face.

"What's the matter, what's the matter? I didn't move a single finger of yours!" The young general stared in surprise.

Duan Yang choked up and said, "A few years ago, Caomin's husband went to Changde Mansion in Huguang to do business, but there was no news from him! Caomin heard that Huguang was about to fight, and the soldiers were in turmoil. That night, he had a dream. Blood, tell me..."

The young general frowned, and said impatiently: "The battle here is over! Listen to what you said, are you here to find someone?"

Mrs. Duan Yang nodded and said: "Caomin did not find anyone in Changde Mansion. A fellow villager said that my husband went to Guangxi and went south again..."

"Is there a guide?" The young general interrupted Duan Yang's chatter again.

Duan Yang shook his head, looking pitifully at the sergeant with tears in his eyes.

At this moment, there was another sound of horseshoes from the south, and then a voice shouted: "Chen Wu!"

The young general in front of him turned his head and responded, then he looked Duan Yang in the eyes again, and said kindly: "You are a woman, be careful on the road."

Duan Yang said: "Thank you, Mr. Jun."

... In the brigade of King Han's Palace, under the heavy protection of guards of honor, horses and cavalry, there is a magnificent carriage.His wife, Yao Ji, was sitting with Guo Wei, Princess of the Han Dynasty, in this carriage.

In the past two years, Yao Ji took the initiative to show her goodwill, helping Princess Han and thinking of her in everything; the effect is still obvious.In the palace of the King of Han, Yao Ji is probably the woman the princess relies on most now, and the two are often inseparable.

Many people in the Palace of the King of Han understood what the princess was like. The princess was a person with no hostility or hatred.Although she doesn't treat everyone well, even if someone offends her, she won't be punished too severely.

As early as when she was in the capital, Yao Ji had quarreled with Guo Wei over a parrot bestowed by the Empress herself; Lost!

Moreover, Guo Wei is a person who is very grateful. As long as whoever treats her well, she will be rewarded to some extent.

And Yao Ji has not only been friends with Guo Wei for a long time, but also won Guo Wei's appreciation because of her calmness and calmness.Yao Ji is also a very optimistic person, she doesn't panic when encountering things, and often has a faint and imperceptible smile on her face.

But on the road recently, Guo Wei seemed to notice something.

At this time, Guo Wei, who was sitting across from her, took another careful look at Yao Ji, she seemed hesitant to speak, but said nothing.

Yao Ji saw Guo Wei's expression from the corner of her eye, but she pretended not to know.The two continued to sit silently in the carriage.

After a while, Yao Ji took out a piece of silk from her sleeve pocket, put it on her fingers and gently rubbed her temples.She said softly: "Every time I ride a carriage for a long time, I feel very uncomfortable, dizzy and want to vomit."

Guo Wei suddenly said: "Sister Yao is not feeling well? I saw your preoccupied appearance these days, and thought you had something unhappy on your mind."

Yao Ji smiled and shook her head.But the eyes were hard to fake, and the smile in her eyes showed a faint hint of reluctance.

Yao Ji put the handkerchief back into her sleeve pocket when she touched something.That's a letter!

When everyone was still in the palace of King Han in Guizhou, Yao Ji met a man named Mei Qing; it was Mei Qing who sent the letter.

Mei Qing claims to be from Yao Ji's natal family, but he is not at all. He is actually a spy; his apparent identity is a remnant of the guard army of the Han Palace.

Yao Ji remembered that when her brother took refuge with the King of Han, he sent a list of spies, and Mei Qing was most likely on the list!But the people in the court didn't know the inside story. In order not to let her brother be suspected, the King of Han didn't touch those spies (except Li Mo, who was in the center of the King's Changshi Mansion), so as not to startle the snake.

Of course, the existence of their father, Yao Fengji, did not let the "uncle" in the court know...
