Chapter 212 Why Return to Beijing? (two more)

Song Qinghuan's eyebrows and eyes darkened, and the smile on his face was slightly suppressed.

Mu Bai thought she didn't know Xiao Zhuo, and opened his mouth to explain, but suddenly thought of something, looked around slightly, with a vigilant expression.

Song Qinghuan understood, and commanded in a deep voice, "Shen Xingliuyue, go and guard the door, don't let anyone approach."

The two agreed, exited the room, and waited at the door.

"General Xiao is the young master's confidant, commanding an army of 20 troops in the southwest." Mu Bai said deeply, "Now that Emperor Liang is going to transfer General Xiao back to Shengjing, there are nine out of ten that he is going to attack the young master."

Xiao Zhuo.

Of course Song Qinghuan was familiar with this name.

In the previous life, when she jumped down from the city wall, Xiao Zhuo also witnessed the decisive scene beside Shen Chuhan.It can be said that the relationship between Xiao Zhuo and Shen Chuhan is closer than that of Mu Bai Xuanying, or even Ji Liuyun.

because--

Mu Bai looked up at her, his voice lowered, "Ma'am, I think you already know the identity of the young master."

"Yes." Song Qinghuan nodded lightly.

Mu Bai and Xuan Ying are Shen Chuhan's personal bodyguards, and they naturally know Shen Chuhan's true identity.And Shen Chuhan had also told them that Song Qinghuan knew his true identity, so Mu Bai had nothing to hide.

"General Xiao is also from Zhao Kingdom."

Song Qinghuan's brows and eyes moved slightly, showing a hint of surprise just right.

Although she knew Xiao Zhuo's identity, but in front of Mu Bai, she had to pretend not to know him, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.

Xiao Zhuo was Shen Chuhan's prince attendant when he was in Zhao Kingdom.Xiao Zhuo's original surname was not Xiao, but his clan was exterminated for the crime of treason.Concubine Xiao Gui and Xiao Zhuo's mother exchanged handkerchiefs, trying to save Xiao Zhuo, but his original identity could no longer be used, so he took Concubine Xiao's surname Xiao, and stayed by Shen Chuhan's side as an attendant .

Later, Shen Chuhan was sent to Liangguo as a hostage, and he went with him, and together with Shen Chuhan escaped from Zhaoguo's escort mission, creating the illusion that the two were burned to death in the camp.

During the escape, he and Shen Chuhan entered Wangyou Valley by mistake.At that time, Old Monster Ye had already accepted Ji Liuyun as his apprentice, and he didn't want to take two more apprentices, so he chose Shen Chuhan, who had more outstanding aptitude, as his apprentice, but he still agreed with Xiao Zhuo to stay in the valley together.

When the two were 15 years old, Xiao Zhuo went out of the valley and went to the Zhaoguo military camp. From a small soldier, in just five years, he has become a stalemate in charge of an army of 20 in the northwest.

And Shen Chuhan continued to stay in the valley for three years. Only then did he leave Wangyou Valley, and reappeared in front of everyone as the illegitimate son of the Shen family, Shen Chuhan. It only took two years to climb to the top of Liangguo's power.

The two of them, with one document and one weapon, firmly held the financial power of Liang State in their hands.

However, to the outside world, others never knew that the two of them had such a strong relationship.Yin Zhan wanted to transfer Xiao Zhuo back to Beijing this time because he found out that Xiao Zhuo was Shen Chuhan's confidant, or was there another reason?
With many thoughts in his heart, Mu Bai's gloomy voice continued, "When General Xiao was in Zhao Kingdom, he was the young master's attendant, and he had a very close relationship with the young master. With him in charge of the army in the northwest, the young master will have a strong backing. However, other than his subordinates and Xuan Ying, no one else knows anything about the relationship between General Xiao and Young Master."

"Where's Emperor Liang?" Song Qinghuan frowned.

Mu Bai shook his head, "Although this subordinate speculates that the emperor transferred General Xiao back because he doubted his relationship with the young master, but - so far, there is no direct evidence to prove this."

Song Qinghuan frowned even tighter.

Shen Chuhan has been operating in Liangguo for many years. He must have placed a lot of pawns beside Yin Zhan. If Mu Bai Xuanying didn't find any clues, could it be that Yin Zhan really didn't find anything?This time Xiao Zhuo was transferred back to Beijing, but for other things?
It's just that they can't be taken lightly.

After all, Yin Zhan is not an idler, what if he has already seen through and just concealed it too well?At that time, it is not impossible to transfer Xiao Zhuo back, catch Shen Chuhan by surprise, and take the opportunity to seize power.

Although she believed in Shen Chuhan's ability, in the bottom of her heart, she felt a little bit worried.

Yin Zhan was not favored among many princes at the beginning because of his weak body, which was plagued by illnesses. Everyone thought that he would not live long, so no one took him seriously.

Since taking the Huoyanghua that Shen Chuhan found for him, the toxins in Yin Zhan's body have been eliminated, and his health is much better than before.Therefore, those suppressed ambitions began to swell gradually, and his attitude towards Shen Chuhan became worse than before, which seemed to mean crossing the river and tearing down the bridge.

Fortunately, he has been invaded by toxins for many years, and some bodily functions have been destroyed. Compared with ordinary people, his constitution is still much weaker, and he often gets sick every now and then.If it weren't for this, he might have already attacked Shen Chuhan.

Thinking of this, I can't help but feel lucky.

Back then, Shen Chuhan chased Yin Zhan to Luocheng in the name of finding Qing Yuanguo for Yin Zhan.Later, Yin Zhan was worried about Shen Chuhan's activities in Luocheng, so he issued three imperial edicts to summon Shen Chuhan back, and the matter of looking for Qingyuan fruit was over.

And the two Qingyuan fruits that Shen Chuhan obtained in the Emperor's Palace that day were given to Song Qinghuan, one, and Song Qinghuan gave it to Emperor Yu, but the other was still kept by her side.

It is conceivable that if Shen Chuhan gave Yin Zhan one of the Qingyuan fruits that day, and Yin Zhan recovered his body functions, he would have turned his face and refused to recognize anyone this time.

"What reason did Emperor Liang use to call General Xiao back?" Song Qinghuan pondered for a moment before opening his mouth

"It's just a normal job report. But my subordinates are worried that once General Xiao returns to Shengjing, the emperor will find an excuse to detain him."

Song Qinghuan slowly picked up the teacup, and the color in his eyes became darker.

Since it is a normal report, unless there is a war in the northwest, Shen Chuhan has no reason to stop it.

Bordering on the northwestern border of Liang State is Zhao State, but Zhao State also lost the general Jun Han in the Sword Seizing Competition, and now his vitality is also seriously injured, so it is unlikely that he will rashly send troops to Liang State.

From this point of view, Xiao Zhuo's return to Beijing is probably a certainty.

Seeing Song Qinghuan's eyes darken, Mu Bai hurriedly said, "Don't worry, ma'am, the young master will definitely come up with a perfect solution for this matter. Right now, ma'am, it's better to relax."

Just now he suddenly remembered that Song Qinghuan was pregnant, and he really shouldn't have bothered her with these things. If he let the young master know, he might be punished again.

Song Qinghuan looked up and saw Mu Bai showing self-blame, and smiled, "Okay, I understand, you don't have to worry about me."

After finishing speaking, I heard Shen Xing's voice outside the door and remembered, "Your Highness, Steward Chen is here."

Song Qinghuan put away her thoughts and straightened her body, "Please come in."

After Shen Chuhan came back from the palace, he confirmed the news that Xiao Zhuo was going back to Beijing.

Yin Zhan seemed determined to call Xiao Zhuo back, but Shen Chuhan didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, so he held a wait-and-see attitude for the time being, and did not refute, following Yin Zhan's wishes.

The imperial edict was soon sent to the southwest border.

During this period of time, Su Rao also seemed to be very quiet. After Song Qinghuan left the Chengwen Hall, she moved into the Chengwen Hall.Most of the time on weekdays, he stayed in the Chengwen Museum, occasionally went shopping, and even entered the palace once or twice, other than that, there was nothing unusual.

Everything seemed to be very peaceful.

But Song Qinghuan knew that these were just appearances.Beneath this calm surface, there is a turbulent undercurrent surging.

soon.

New Year's Eve is coming.

This year's New Year's Eve, Yin Zhan hosted a banquet in the palace, and invited all court officials and family members of officials to attend. Shen Chuhan and Song Qinghuan were naturally also invited.

And before that, Xiao Zhuo was going back to Beijing too.

In Shengjing City, on the third floor of Zuixian Tower.

In the elegant room facing the street, there is a window half open, and a white jade beauty bottle is placed on the window sill, and two wintersweet plums are inserted in the bottle, which is fragrant.

Afterwards, two people sat.

"Ashu, when will Xiao Zhuo enter Beijing?" Song Qinghuan glanced at the street scene below and asked.

Shen Chuhan looked at the time, "It will be soon." His voice seemed to be slightly tense.

Song Qinghuan knew that he and Xiao Zhuo had a deep relationship, but they were just playing tricks on others. Since Wangyougu said goodbye when he was 15 years old, the two have been unable to see each other all year round.

"When was the last time you saw him?" Song Qinghuan looked up at him.

Shen Chuhan pursed his lips, his eyes were cold, "Two years ago, he returned to Beijing to report on his duties and was named General Zhennan."

Song Qinghuan reached out to hold his palm without making a sound.

At this time, the sound of "Dada" horseshoes came from far and near.

Song Qinghuan's eyes lit up, and she looked at Shen Chuhan, "Come?"

"Should." Shen Chuhan straightened his body, staring out the window with his deep eyes.

Song Qinghuan also leaned forward slightly, looking out the window at the road stretching far away without blinking.

At the end of the wide avenue, a horse was approaching, followed by a small group of armored soldiers.Perhaps it was because there was trouble here, they were not moving fast, and the people moved aside one after another, looking at the people on horseback in surprise and a little panic.

On top of the black horse, sat a man in black military uniform, holding a long spear, with a face as sharp as an ax and a knife, and eyes as deep as black jade, as deep as the sea, with a compelling light.
