Promotion Letter for the Chief Executive

The reason why Zhao Can had this kind of thought had nothing to do with the amount or value of the furniture in the room, it was purely a feeling.

Generally speaking, people tend to arrange the place where they live more comfortably, at least in line with their own aesthetics.

Not to mention the soft sofas, duvets, and all kinds of small and convenient daily necessities that Ping An made in his home in the capital. In Ping An's words, the purpose of the entire house is to make people not want to leave when they come, and not want to go when they lie down. move.

Even when Zhao Can was still living in the palace, although he didn't regard that place as his home, he would try his best to arrange the bedroom according to his own preferences, because it was the only place where he could relax a little.

In comparison, this log cabin is really too clean.There are only basic daily necessities, and there is no breath of life at all.

Zhao Can believed that even the poorest peasant family would never look like this.

So this is by no means a "home", but more like a temporary place to stay.

As a result, Zhao Can felt that Ping An's guess was somewhat inaccurate.In his opinion, it is not so much that someone once lived in seclusion here, as it is hiding here to avoid disaster.Because I don't have the mind to enjoy the fun of living in the mountains, naturally I don't have the mind to decorate the house.

As for where that person went, and why there are still people here, it is hard to say.

Originally, according to Zhao Can's thinking, if such a person appeared near the imperial tomb, he should investigate clearly.But since Ping An said so, he gave up this plan.Anyway, it is not so easy to sneak into the imperial mausoleum, and even if you go in, it seems that you can't do anything.

In particular, Zhao Can speculated that the other party should have some connection with the royal family, so he knew how to behave properly.

That being the case, more is worse than less.

So he quickly put this matter behind him and went down the mountain with Ping An.

However, things in this world always seem to be like this. When you try your best to find the truth, you may not be able to find it. On the contrary, it is easy to find the clues inadvertently.

So when the two of them went down the mountain, Tianshu Kaiyang and the others who didn't dare to come and disturb them all the time stayed behind, but suddenly escorted a person to ask for instructions, "Master, this person has been sneaking around the mountain just now." Spy on the mountain and was caught by us, please let the master go."

Of course Zhao Can can't go out alone by himself, even in a place that is absolutely safe, let alone this deep mountain?It seems that there are only him and Ping An, but the people who follow the protection are hidden in the dark.

Originally catching a casual snooper, they didn't need to let Zhao Can know and punish him, they could deal with it.But this person is different, Tianshu leaned close to Zhao Can's ear and whispered, "This person seems to be from the army, like a scout, and he is well versed in the way of concealment and spying."

This kind of person naturally needs special treatment, at least find out who sent him.But Tian Shu and the others dared not be self-confident, so they had to come to ask Zhao Can for instructions.

Speaking of which, being able to catch this person was actually a bit of luck.

Originally, he hid well, but because he was very careful and his hiding place was relatively far away, few people were able to find out.

As a result, Zhao Can and Ping An found the bayberry tree before, and Zhao Can left a secret note to ask Ping An to pick some back.After the newly released foodie Kai Yang heard about it, he volunteered to go up the tree to pick red bayberry.

Kai Yang is the best kung fu practicer among the few, and his eyes are naturally very good.As soon as he climbed up the tree, he was condescending and easily saw through the disguise in the distance, and only then did he catch him.

After discovering this, several people broke out in a cold sweat.Fortunately, nothing happened this time, but such a mistake was very fatal.So now I am here to ask for instructions, and it also means to ask for sin.

Standing by Zhao Can's side safely, Zhao Can didn't mean to avoid him, so naturally he heard it.The two looked at each other, and both felt that this person might have something to do with the cabin on the top of the mountain.

Now that we have this guess, we naturally have to ask clearly.Although they didn't intend to investigate this matter before, but it was another matter to send it to their door.So Zhao Can asked them to bring him up.

Before Ping An heard Tianshu use the word "sneaky" to describe him, he thought he should be a thin, wretched person, but he didn't expect that everyone who was brought up was tall and burly, but he was a big man.He was wearing gray clothes, with thick and bushy eyebrows, and his facial features were regular. The lower half of his face was completely covered by his beard, and he looked unruly.

What caught Ping An's attention was that this person was full of aura, and many small details such as standing posture and expression made Ping An feel very familiar.Combining with Tianshu's previous guess, Pingan quickly realized that this person was probably from the army.

This sturdy aura cannot be tempered without the experience of a sea of ​​corpses on the battlefield.

Kai Yang, who escorted the man up, planned to make him kneel down, but the man just stood upright, staring at Zhao Can and Pingan vigilantly.

"What's your name?" Zhao Can asked.

"Villain Zhong Ping." The man replied, his voice was like thunder rolling in the sky, buzzing in his ears.It can be heard that the voice has been lowered, but it can still scare people.

Ping An kind of understood why he didn't speak before.

"Who are you? Why did you trespass on the imperial tomb?" Zhao Can asked again.

"The villain is a hunter in the village at the foot of the mountain, today he just goes hunting in the mountains." Zhong Ping said.

Zhao Can sneered, "You went hunting in the mountains, but you didn't even bring a bow and arrow?" Are you lying to a fool?

Zhong Ping argued, "I just made a trap in the mountains, and set a trap. I just came here today to take a look. Naturally, I don't need to bring a bow and arrow."

This explanation seems reasonable, but if you think about it carefully, it is full of loopholes.Not to mention that his demeanor does not look like a hunter. How can a real hunter be so calm after being restrained like this?

This person didn't tell the truth. It might be difficult to find out who is behind him and his purpose.

Pingan watched for a while, then suddenly asked, "Are you from the Hebei Army?"

Zhong Ping was shocked, as if he hadn't thought that Ping An would be able to reveal his origin by opening his mouth.However, he was not flustered, and soon his expression calmed down again, and he continued to stare at Ping An without opening his mouth.

"Looks like you guessed right." Ping An continued, "I see that you are in good health, and your strength is pretty good. Although you are a bit older, it is reasonable to say that you are not ready to retire. Why did you appear here? "

Zhong Ping obviously had a lot of experience. When facing Ping An, apart from being surprised at the beginning, his expression didn't even change after that.

On the battlefield, after being captured by the enemy, if you can't cheat and reveal your true identity, you will be tricked out. It is best to choose to remain silent and die rather than surrender.

But he didn't answer, but Zhao Can was a fan of Ping An, "What else could it be for? Of course it's for the small wooden house on the mountain."

The two stared at Zhong Ping's expression, and found that his expression changed slightly when he heard the word "cabin".Obviously, he did have something to do with it.

Moreover, when Zhong Ping heard this, he had no choice but to remain silent. He said, "The wooden house is where my master lives temporarily. I just stay here to keep watch."

"Aren't you a hunter in the village? How come you are a sergeant from the Hebei Army for a while, and a servant for someone else?" Zhao Can questioned bluntly.

"Not necessarily, the generals' personal soldiers sometimes call the generals they follow as masters." Ping An said with a smile.

The two talked to each other, and Zhong Ping's heart fluttered when he said it. Hearing this sentence, his pupils shrank slightly, his whole body tensed up quickly, and his eyes were full of vigilance.

Seeing this, Ping An asked with a smile, "Am I right?"

Because I had stayed in the Northwest for such a long time, and this experience had a great impact on my life, I was very impressed with Ping An.Otherwise, he really has no way to know this.But now it seems that it is all hit.

A general from the Hebei Army lived in seclusion here with his own soldiers.Ping An subconsciously turned to Zhao Can, intending to ask him if he remembered such a person.Although Zhao Can has not been in Hebei for a long time, but he has a good memory, so maybe he can know something.

Zhao Can shook his head at him, really never heard of any general in Hebei disappearing for no reason.Of course—it is also possible that he "died" on the battlefield, so it would be difficult to judge.

"Who is your master?" Ping An asked directly after thinking about it.

Zhong Ping's attitude was also very firm, "No comment."

It seems that it should be a tricky character.Pingan said, "Actually, I advise you to speak out, because even if you don't tell us, we can still find out."

Zhong Ping remained silent.

It's really soft and hard.Ping An had no choice but to look at Zhao Can helplessly.Zhao Can had no choice but to say, "Take him back first."

So the group continued on.Just walking, Ping An always felt that his arm started to itch, and when he reached out to touch it, he found a big bump.Ping An was taken aback, and quickly rolled up his sleeves to check, "What's going on?"

"There are many mosquitoes in the mountains, I'm afraid they were bitten accidentally." Zhao Can said, "Go back and ask the doctor to take a look."

Kai Yang is holding Zhong Ping to the side at this moment, eager to try and plan to come over to care about safety, but because there is still someone in his hand, he can't get away.Zhong Ping looked at it twice in boredom, and suddenly his eyes became fixed.

I don't know how he acted, but he suddenly got rid of Kai Yang's suppression, rushed to Ping An, grabbed his arm and asked, "Do you have two red moles on your back?!"

"..." Ping An was checking his arm when he was suddenly grabbed, and hearing this question again, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

On the other hand, Zhao Can was standing beside him, and upon hearing these words, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Kai Yang also came to his senses, seeing Zhong Ping grabbing Ping An, he was startled, and hurried over to catch him again.He is good at kungfu, and it is more than enough to restrain Zhong Ping. He was just concerned about safety, so he was distracted, and there was no reason for him to be particularly vigilant.

"What do you mean by what you said just now?" Zhao Can asked miserably after Kai Yang pulled him away again.

"My young master has such a wound on his arm!" Zhong Ping became more excited, and his voice became louder, shaking his head. "He still has two red moles on his shoulder blades, doesn't he?"

Whether Ping An has this thing on his back or not, he cannot see it.He had no choice but to turn his head to look at Zhao Can. Zhao Can nodded slightly to him, and Ping An couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He never expected that after more than ten years in Dachu, he could still find Yuanshen's family.

He froze for a moment before finding his own voice, "Even if there are red moles on the back and wounds on the arms, it might not be your young master, right?"

In fact, if it was the original body, it would definitely be confirmed immediately.After all, he has memory.But there is no peace, just relying on these two evidences, is it possible to determine his life experience?That's too much fun.

Zhong Ping was even more excited, "Young master, the wound on your arm was scratched by a tree branch when you were a child. I remember the appearance of the wound clearly, and it will never be wrong!"

"But I don't remember." Ping An has calmed down now.Yuan body was only ten years old when he died, he still didn't understand anything, and he had experienced such a tragic thing.Ping An didn't know if he thought about his relatives, but after he took over his body, he regarded himself as an orphan, and didn't think about looking for relatives, so there is nothing to be excited about now.

Zhong Ping was also stunned when he heard this, -Pingan said he didn't remember, and he had nothing else to prove it.For a moment, the expression on his face was a little disappointed.

Ping An let out a sigh of relief. In fact, if he wants to know who the owner of the cabin is, now is a good opportunity.The other party regarded him as the young master, regardless of whether it was true or not, anyway, Zhong Ping believed so.That being the case, he will definitely tell him the whereabouts of the master, so the answer will naturally come.

But Ping An was unwilling to do so.

Because this means that he has accepted this identity.

Although it is said that the body of the original body should be borne by him, but the original body was sold to Jiang Kuaidao at that time!

Although life is difficult these days, it is not necessary to sell the child to that kind of place, even if it is sold to a rich family as a servant, it is better than being castrated and entering the palace.Does the original body hate it?Ping An felt that he hated it.Even if it was himself, without so many antecedents, he still had a life for nothing, but facing such a scene, he was not able to accept it from the beginning.

Ping An didn't know if he hadn't worn it and the original body hadn't died, would he be willing to accept these things if he lived to this day.All he knew was that the original body was already dead.

No matter what kind of people his parents are or how powerful they are, there is no way to save him.

Zhong Ping followed behind the team in despair, looking at Ping An from time to time.He didn't expect to finally find the little master, but the other party was unwilling to recognize him!

Maybe it was because he really didn't remember, or maybe it was just because he didn't want to believe it, but in any case, since Ping An didn't accept it, Zhong Ping wouldn't open his mouth casually.Even if Ping An is his young master, this matter has to be carefully considered, not to mention that the other party is unwilling to admit it, and there are people who are suspected to be the seventh prince around him?

Zhao Can walked with Ping An, holding his hand without any trace.

Ping An came back to his senses, turned his head to look at him, and sighed, "I didn't expect this to happen."

"If you don't want to ignore it, just leave it to me." Zhao Can said, "You should figure out what's going on first, and then you can decide what to do."

Ping An understood what he meant.The original body's experience was unlucky, but maybe his parents didn't show up because they couldn't help it.In any case, he should know the truth.

Although it is me now, not the original body, but I can't escape because of this.

Since Zhao Can said so, Ping An nodded.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Can began to take over the matter.Zhong Ping was unwilling to tell Zhao Can at first, after all, there are some parts of this matter that are not suitable for outsiders to know.But Zhao Can's methods were not bad, and in the end he still asked everything he wanted to know.

Zhao Can relayed the story to Ping An.

It turns out that Zhong Ping's master is Qi Tao, a great general who Ping An has also heard of.When General Qi was still in Hebei, the current Prime Minister Xu You was still the governor of Hebei, and they had a lot of contacts with each other.General Qi met and fell in love with Xu You's daughter Xu Pingzhi.

But the good times didn't last long, and soon after the late emperor chose a concubine for the prince, Xu You fell in love with Komamami, who was still the prince at that time, and sent the portrait of his daughter into the palace.As a result, Xu Pingzhi was selected smoothly because he was excellent in all aspects, and was soon accused of marriage.

The emperor's fate is difficult, no matter how dissatisfied Xu Pingzhi is, he can only bid farewell to his lover and enter the palace.

At this time, the late emperor's health was already very bad.So soon the emperor passed away, the new emperor ascended the throne, Xu Pingzhi was promoted from concubine to empress, and his mother honored the world.Xu You also gained the emperor's attention by virtue of her daughter's relationship, so she returned to the capital and became one of the prime ministers.

According to the stories known to the world, Xu Pingzhi died in childbirth when the second son of the emperor, Zhao Xuan, was born. Not long afterward, Xu You and the emperor worked together to transfer Qi Tao from Hebei to the northwest, and then Qi Tao died in the battle ahead. middle.

But in fact, neither of these two people died, but concealed their names and returned to Qi Tao's hometown - Luozhou.

Because this is King Qi's territory, it is difficult for the hand of the court to reach in, and the two of them have been stable here for a while.But then the news leaked out for some unknown reason. Although the emperor didn't know about it, Xu You discovered the existence of the two of them, so in order to solve this hidden danger, he sent people to chase and kill them.

The cabin on the top of the mountain is the temporary residence for the two when they are avoiding hunting.

Because it is close to the imperial mausoleum and deep in the mountains, it is difficult for Xu You's people to find it. It only needs Zhong Ping and a few loyal subordinates to send food up the mountain every once in a while, so it has been stable for a while. .

During this period of time, Xu Pingzhi became pregnant again. After much hesitation, the two still planned to give birth to the child.It's just that after the child is born, it's not suitable to live on the mountain.Fortunately, at this time, Xu You probably hadn't found anyone and started to slack off, so they sneaked into Luozhou City and settled down smoothly.

Because this refuge is very hidden and difficult to detect, Qi Tao and Xu Pingzhi regarded it as a way out and arranged for Zhong Ping to guard it here.Others followed them into the city.In order to avoid being noticed, there was little communication with each other after that.

The following days have been very peaceful, Zhong Pingyuan thought that the bad things had passed and the good days were coming.However, just 12 years ago in the New Year, a brother who was with Qi Tao suddenly ran back to find Zhong Ping, telling him that the whereabouts of the general and his wife had been exposed and they were in danger.

This person was seriously injured when he was found, and passed away after giving the news.Zhong Pingyuan thought that Qi Tao and others would arrive soon, but he didn't expect that after waiting at home for more than ten days, there was still no one.

When he had the courage to go to the city to inquire about the news, he realized that his family had encountered a "bandit" on the way out of the city, and there was no survivor.

Zhong Ping was greatly shocked, and after restraining his family, he returned to the village to spend his days, and went to the mountain to visit and pay homage from time to time.Unexpectedly, after more than ten years, he would be able to see the young master again.

After Ping An heard this story, she just found it unbelievable, not to mention how Xu Pingzhi escaped from the palace smoothly, and how Qi Tao successfully faked his death on the battlefield, there are many unreasonable things in it.Even if they succeeded, how could these two people be found so easily and killed?

Even the most vulgar dog-blood novels are nothing more than that.

However, the time and place are indeed right.

In 12, that is, the [-]th year of Xiping, the Qi family had an accident, and it was March when Ping An crossed over.During the middle period, it was just enough time for the traffickers to bring the original body back to the capital from Luozhou and sell it to Jiang Kuaidao.

There were all these messy things in my mind, but the first thing Ping An said to Zhao Can in the end was, "So, Zhao Xuan and I are still half-brothers?"

"... That's right." Zhao Can didn't know what to say.

Unlike Ping An, Zhao Can found Qi Tao and Xu Pingzhi's deaths unbelievable.Because if the news is known in advance, as long as the layout is proper, it is easy to do this.What puzzled him was that he didn't think His Majesty the emperor in the palace would really be so easily deceived by them to escape so easily.

But something so unbelievable, it just happened.

There were so many doubts in this whole matter, even Zhao Can didn't know how to sort out his thoughts.

After a moment of silence, he said, "What Zhong Ping knows may not be the whole truth, maybe there are some things he doesn't know. This matter..." He looked safe, "Are you going to investigate?"

"I thought it was just an accident." Ping An's mood was very complicated. "Before, I always thought that I was an ordinary orphan. Because my parents couldn't support me or an accident happened, I had to go on this road."

"But since it is not, this matter cannot be counted as such."
