But it is said that Yuan Xi arrived in Yangzhou under the escort of Sun Lang, and Xu Guang and others were waiting for the carriages and horses to enter Jianye.

"My lord! You are finally back, did your journey go smoothly?" Xu Guang's eyes turned red, obviously extremely excited.

Although Yuan Xi was not injured, he looked very embarrassed. His face was gloomy, he glanced around, and said with a sneer, "Successful, how could it not be smooth? Thanks to my good brother and good mother." When he said this, He didn't deliberately lower his voice, all the generals who came to greet him could hear clearly, including Yuan Xi's direct descendants, Yuan Xiang and Yuan Xin.

After Yuan Xi rode on the horse prepared by Xu Guangxin, surrounded by his confidants and generals, he rode away. The civil servants and generals who stayed at the place couldn't help thinking about Xiao Jiujiu, knowing that the second son of Yuan came back this time, it was the real Longyou Entering the sea, the good times of Mrs. Yuan and Mr. Yuan may be coming to an end.

Yuan Xi has always had a question in his heart, that is why his father gave up Jingzhou, which has been in business for many years, and came to Jiangdong to rebuild his foundation. Therefore, when he washed away the dust and visited his father Yuan Xiang, he didn't mention anything else. Let him hear a startling news.

"What did you say? The son of General Zhennan is still alive?"

"That's right, guess who this person is?" Although Yuan Xiang is in his fifties this year, he is well maintained, with a well-trimmed beard and a long gown, which looks like a Confucian general.At this moment, he was caressing a chess piece in his hand, and was studying the chess formation with his head down.

Yuan Xi couldn't help being surprised when he heard Yuan Xiang's question, "Why, according to what my father means, I know this person?"

Yuan Xiangdao: "It's not just an acquaintance, you have a pretty good relationship with him."

Yuan Xi went through the people with whom he had a good relationship in his mind, and suddenly he didn't dare to believe it: "Isn't it Feng Wuge?"

"It's really good fortune." Yuan Xiang suddenly gave Yuan Xi a meaningful look, "I was displeased because you were associated with that kind of low-level person, but I never thought that Feng Wuge was actually the general of Zhennan and his wife. The son of Princess Wuyang."

"Father didn't make a mistake? Where did you get this news? Can you confirm it?"

"I haven't found out exactly where it came from. It's just that there were such rumors in Jingzhou before I was transferred. This matter is of great importance, so I naturally dare not let it go. I am afraid that someone will use the name of the son of General Zhennan. There was a plan, so they secretly sent people to investigate the matter thoroughly, and after several twists and turns, they found an old housekeeper of the Zhennan General's Mansion."

"The old woman is very loyal. She has kept this secret for many years, and she is finally willing to admit that the remains of the eldest son found by the court were the sons of a servant. Because of the fire at the Zhennan General's Mansion that night, the remains were burned beyond recognition. He was able to get away with it. Naturally, the imperial court is not completely suspicious of this, and has sent people to arrest boys who are about the same age as the son of Zhennan." At this point, Yuan Xiang sighed, shook his head and said, "I don't know how many innocent children have been implicated .”

Yuan Xi carefully recalled Feng Wuge's experience, and found that he was extremely compatible with the Zhennan eldest son, especially when he was sold as a girl to the embroidery workshop when he was young.

"This matter is a bit strange. As my father said, since the housekeeper is extremely loyal, why did you tell my father the truth?"

"It's not difficult to understand. Now that the world is in chaos, Qin Chao has been killed by Nanyang Marquis Wei Zhao, and Feng Wuge has his own foothold. Even if his identity is revealed, what are we afraid of?" Yuan Xiang suddenly smiled, Showing a bit of sophistication and cunning, "In fact, even if Feng Wuge is not the son of a general, it doesn't have much influence on this matter."

When Yuan Xi heard that Qin Chao was dead, he was startled at first, thinking that this was the latest news and it would not spread throughout Kyushu in the future.Immediately after hearing the latter, I became confused again, not understanding what my father meant.

Seeing his expression, Yuan Xiang shook his head and said, "Xi'er, you are still too young."

"I still hope that my father will give me advice."

Yuan Xiangdao: "We have all the witnesses and evidences about Feng Wuge being the son of General Zhennan. It can be said that the game has been decided. At that time, someone secretly pushes to announce his identity to the world, even if he is not, it will be fine."

Yuan Xi's heart moved, "Father means, someone is behind this matter? Who could it be?" Even though he asked like this, a person had already appeared in his mind.

"No matter who it is, it must be someone with ambition." Yuan Xiang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Or maybe the owner of the Xiulou is tossing around. I hope so, if it is really him who does it on purpose and wants to borrow General Zhennan At least it shows that he is a smart person, and it is better to cooperate with such a person than to work with mediocrity."

"Cooperation? What does father mean?"

"This is also the reason why I abandoned Jingzhou. As long as the news that the son of General Zhennan is still alive is released, Jingzhou can only belong to the Ling family, and no one can interfere. Furthermore, Jingzhou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. , there is Chen Binghushi in the north, and it is sandwiched between Yizhou and Yangzhou. Rather than letting us stick to it, it is better to return to the original owner. With the friendship between you and that Feng Wuge, we can form a lip-to-mouth alliance and support each other. "

At this point, Yuan Xi finally understood why his father's attitude towards him changed drastically.Not only does it have to rely on Jiangdong's ancestral home, but there is also a reason for the wind and no songs.Thinking of this, although he was still respectful on the face, he couldn't help laughing in his heart, feeling sorry for "Mrs. Yuan" who was held in the palm of his hand like his father's treasure.

What love in this life?Facing his own country and country, how much weight does a loving wife and loving son have in his heart?Why don't you want to use his contemptuous son again, even if you know that if he turns around, he will never tolerate the mother and son.

After the father and son had finished speaking, Yuan Xiang greeted Yuan Xi for a while, but Yuan Xi didn't show it on his face. Nan Shizi is not someone close to us, so what?"

Yuan Xiang raised his eyebrows, shifted his eyes from the chessboard to Yuan Xi again, and smiled, but he didn't answer for a long time, and finally asked: "What does Xi'er think?"

"In theory, it is natural to cut the weeds and root out the roots, and not let Jingzhou fall into the enemy's hands."

"Since you know, why are you asking me?"

"But I remember my father said that he had made good friends with General Zhennan, and even made him a confidant..."

Asking questions like this is already suspected of questioning, which can be described as very reckless, but Yuan Xiang was not angry, just silent for a while, and then gently placed a chess piece in his hand on the board, and said indifferently: " People always have to change, but for themselves. Sooner or later, you will understand."

Yuan Xi didn't say anything, but just bowed to leave, thinking in his heart, if this man wasn't his biological father, he would definitely spurn him secretly.Not only is he unfaithful to love, but he also has no persistence in friendship. He is really a heartless and ungrateful person.It was really not worth it for his mother to die because of his depression.

He thinks that if he is like this, everyone in the world is like him.What do you mean people always change?Not to mention anything else, just his friendship with Feng Wuge will never change.

Thinking of Feng Wuge, Yuan Xi realized that Mu Jiu probably knew his true identity a long time ago, and even planned all kinds of things without him knowing. Although it seems to be beneficial to him now, he shouldn't be allowed to keep So kept in the dark.So Yuan Xi didn't even care about rest when he came back from Yuan Xiang's place, and immediately wrote a letter, asking Xu Guang to send a safe person back to Qingping Mountain, and hand it directly to Ling Xun's cronies.

This letter from Yuan Xi was the one Ling Xun got from Fang Jue at this time.

When Ling Xun heard Fang Jue say that Yue Qing was in his room, he already guessed in his mind what he was going to say to him.

I'm afraid it's something that can't get along with Mu Jiu again.

He was wondering at first why he was so busy planning to marry Mu Jiu, and he didn't see anyone surnamed Yue coming to make trouble these days, didn't he always dislike Huaifeng?Dare to visit today, is to hold back a big.

Ling Xun only got closer to Mu Jiu last night, and also knew that he had such a life experience. At this moment, his heart is full of tenderness and pity, so how can he allow others to say that his sweetheart is not?Therefore, on weekdays, the distance is only a few hundred steps, but today he read the letter while waking up, until he finished reading the letter, he still hadn't stepped into his yard.

"Hey, what's wrong with Master Feng's leg, what's wrong with it?"

Yue Qing saw Ling Xun walking towards him from a long distance, but couldn't help but go up to him and stand in front of him.He was joking, and the two of them were used to talking like this in the past, but when Ling Xun raised his head, Yue Qing was taken aback, and found the displeasure in his eyes.

"What do you want to tell me?" Ling Xun's tone was a little cold, and he folded Yuan Xi's letter and put it in his sleeve.

This time, Yue Qing was really sure that Ling Xun was in a bad mood, and decided not to touch him. He was about to leave, but was stopped by Ling Xun, "If you have anything to say, let's talk it out together today, and I don't want you to pick one." Day, I'll pick a day."

After Ling Xun said this, he quickly walked back to his yard, Yue Qing had no choice but to follow.

"Tell me, is it related to Mr. Mu?" After entering the hall and dismissing the servants, Ling Xun turned to the side of the long table and asked Yue Qing directly.

Yue Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he took out a thin stack of paper, and placed it in front of Ling Xun.

"what is this?"

"Won't Lord Feng take a look first?"

"I'm too lazy to read it. If you have something to say, say it and fart it."

Yue Qing was choked for a moment, feeling that all his good temper in this life was betting on this moment, and said to Ling Xun: "Master Feng also knows, I have always doubted Mu Huaifeng, so I used our underworld He secretly went to Jingzhou to investigate him.”

"Then what? What did you find out? He already knew that I was the son of General Zhennan? Or did he plan a big conspiracy behind my back to harm me?" Ling Xun sneered and said in a hurry. over.

These are the contents of Yuan Xi's letter. In a word, Mu Jiu is useful, but not credible.

Ling Xun also knew that Yuan Xi and Yue Qing did this for his own sake, and that only true friends would do such thankless things, but for some reason, he couldn't get over it emotionally, as long as he thought of other people's speculation Mu Jiu's care for him made him uncomfortable, and he couldn't even breathe freely.

Yue Qing didn't expect that Ling Xun would suddenly reveal his identity in front of him, he was stunned, but soon returned to normal, "It's not just that."

"Oh? What else? You can talk about it, but it's better to change it to something fresh."

For the first time ever, Yue Qing solemnly bowed down in front of Ling Xun and said "Master".

"What on earth are you trying to say?" Ling Xun was getting impatient, and wanted to throw people out to make it clear.

Yue Qing took a deep breath, and finally said: "My subordinates have found out that General Zhennan was slandered and colluded with Tanlang and rebelled. , was a secret report to Qin Chao by Mu Yin, a staff member of the General's Mansion."
