The Rebirth of Two Beauties

Chapter 109

Lin Xiaoxiao dragged Cui Panpan into the house, and closed the door nervously.

Lin Xiaoxiao's history is not very good, so she humbly asked Cui Panpan for advice: "What do you think, Yuanfang?"

Cui Panpan frowned and recalled: "It seems that there is such a period of history. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Jin and Chu fought for hegemony, and Song was caught between the two countries and suffered a lot. Later, a doctor from Song, I don't remember his name, and The upper echelons of the Jin and Chu countries made good friends, secretly contacted and initiated the 'Alliance of Eliminating Soldiers', in exchange for more than ten years of peace."

Lin Xiaoxiao murmured: "The person named Xiang Rong mentioned in the letter, could it be the person in history?"

"I don't remember. The things about the Song Kingdom are not very famous, and most of them have been forgotten."

"In short, this possibility cannot be ruled out. You also read that letter. The person who wrote the letter spoke in great detail. It seems that he said a lot, but he didn't seem to say anything."

"Maybe it's seeking truth from facts, maybe it's trying to cover up."

"Which possibility do you prefer, join the enemy or lobby?"

"Lobbying. To please two countries at the same time, the lobbying is more likely. If you are going to the enemy, it is more suitable to focus on one side."

"Maybe he wants to hedge his bets and pick the best of both worlds."

"Historically, Jin and Chu have been fighting for years, but they don't seem to have thought of carve up Song. If Xiang Rong wants to join Jin and Chu, he only needs to resign and leave. There is no need to risk betraying Song. I can't think of Song. What is Jin Chu wanting?"

"Maybe he can secretly influence the people of Song, and help one of Jin and Chu win over Song State, so that two to one?"

Cui Panpan gave Lin Xiaoxiao a bunch of white eyeballs: "If the people of Song Dynasty were as smart as you, maybe the Song Dynasty would not have fallen so early."

"Hey," Lin Xiaoxiao sighed, "If the ruler of a country is good, the country will be strong. If it is not good, the country will fall or even be annexed. This is an era when big fish eat small fish."

"No matter what era, the big fish eat the small fish."

Kong Ci put down his hands and looked at A Wu who was standing at the head of the bed, with a pleasant expression on his face.

"Awu, it turned out to be you"

"Ah Wu didn't expect to see you again."

Kong Ci's eyes filled with tears, Ah Wu directly wiped the tears from his face.

It turned out that Ah Wu didn't tell Lin Xiaoxiao one thing.He was originally a soldier under Kong Ci, and they are very familiar with each other.

Kong Ci and Ah Wu told each other about their experiences after parting, and felt sorry for each other's situation.

Ah Wu asked Kong Ci: "What are your plans, sir?"

Kong Ci's eyes fell on the letter on the table involuntarily: "I don't know, I'm hesitant, and I can't make up my mind."

Ah Wu said: "Ah Wu has the guts to say something. I have read the contents of the letter, and Shannv has also read it. If you don't know what to do, you might as well ask Shannv, Shannv knows everything."

"Shan Nu?" Kong Ci was puzzled, "Who is Shan Nu?"

"The mountain girl is Yu Jingzi, the Kunlun mountain girl." A Wu boasted about Lin Xiaoxiao.If Lin Xiaoxiao were here, she would definitely be blushing.

"Mountain spirit and ghost?" Kong Ci obviously had some disbelief, "I don't think there is anything special about that woman, how can Ah Wu be sure that this person is trustworthy?"

"Shannu has magical skills," Ah Wu hesitated and continued, "Did you hear that Tao Qiu's Zhao Yan died?"

"I heard that it happened a few days ago. I heard that he was shot through the neck with an arrow and died on the spot. The murderer is waiting. What did you say was the name of the Kunlun Mountain girl?"

Ah Wu paused word by word: "Yu, Jing, Zi."

"Yu, Jing, it is said that the word 'Yu Jing' is engraved on the body of the arrow that killed Chaoyan. It is said that the murderer came and went out of thin air. There is a thunderbolt in the clear sky in Taoqiu City. Could it be that the person who killed Chaoyan?"

A Wu silently nodded.

Although the fact is that A's father-in-law shot and killed Chaoyan, everyone seems to agree that it was Lin Xiaoxiao who killed Chaoyan.Lin Xiaoxiao knew it, but didn't explain it.She can bear this reputation while protecting father-in-law.

Kong Ci jumped up from the bed and grabbed Ah Wu.He was slightly unstable and almost fell, but was held up by Ah Wu again.

"Is what you said true?"

Ah Wu nodded fiercely: "It's true. Chao Yan arrested A Nu, Shan Nu and her father entered Taoqiu to save others, but A Nu was dead, Shan Nu killed Chao Yan angrily."

At the beginning of the matter about Ah Nu, Ah Wu was watching people at Hanfengguan, but he didn't go to Taoqiu later, and he regretted it after hearing about it.

Kong Ci walked around the house a few times, and seemed to have made up his mind: "A Wu, take me to see Shannu."

Finally able to sleep on the bed in the house again.

Lin Xiaoxiao took out the latex mattress and tidied up the bed with Cui Panpan.They are going to sleep soundly tonight.After tidying up the bed, I took out the couch, coffee table and so on.Even if you are only staying for a few days, make it as comfortable as possible.

Chun'er lived next door to them, had already packed up her own room, and was sitting in front of the door weaving straw sandals with her parents.

In summer night, everyone likes to enjoy the cool outside the door.The moonlight is good, everyone gets together in threes and fives, chatting, drinking tea, and doing some work.

Lin Xiaoxiao lit several plates of mosquito repellent incense in the yard.Still have some effect.

Ah Wu walked over with Kong Ci.

People in the courtyard greeted them one after another when they saw them.Kong Ci looked at the smiles on these people's faces, and his heart was turbulent.

These people had just been robbed by bandits during the day, and now they seemed to be completely unafraid. Who made them so carefree?

"Chun'er, is Shannu in the house?"

Chun'er put down the work in her hands, glanced at Kong Ci, and said, "Want to see Shannv? Wait here a moment, I'll report to you."

After a while, Chun'er came out and asked them to go in.

In the room, Lin Xiaoxiao and Cui Panpan each sat on a single sofa, and there was a couch beside them.

Ah Wu entered the house, first confessed his crime, and told about his acquaintance with Kong Ci.

Lin Xiaoxiao felt that it didn't matter.To put it bluntly, this kind of matter is a private matter between Ah Wu and Kong Ci.It is impossible for Lin Xiaoxiao to take care of everything.

"They're all on their own, sit down and talk."

Lin Xiaoxiao let Ah Wu and Kong Ci sit on the couch, and poured them two glasses of iced goat milk.

The moment Kong Ci sat down, he felt as if he was sitting on a cloud, and his whole body floated up.

Lin Xiaoxiao first cared about Kong Ci's physical condition: "Although you look much better now and feel good about yourself, your internal injuries need to be recuperated. Eat something digestible and nutritious, which will help you recover. Oh right, you can't Eat something cold, this glass of iced goat milk is not suitable for you, I'll change it for you."

Lin Xiaoxiao poured Kong Ci another glass of goat milk at room temperature.Those two glasses of iced ones are cheaper than Ah Wu.

Kong Ci took a sip of the fresh goat's milk, feeling inexplicably flattered and panicked.But seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's gentle smile, his restless heart calmed down again.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao heard the beautiful voice of the system.She got points from Kong Ci.

"Ci has a question, ask Shannv."

Lin Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at Kong Ci: "Which letter do you want to ask?"

"Exactly," Kong Ci said solemnly, "Ci's heart is in a mess, and I don't know how to deal with that letter."

Lin Xiaoxiao said: "Then let me ask you a few questions first, do you think that letter is genuine or forged?"

"It's true," Kong Ci said, "The letter is left by a friend during his lifetime, so it cannot be false."

Lin Xiaoxiao asked again: "Then do you think the contents of the letter are true or false?"

Kong Ci thought for a while and said, "What was said in the letter was unexpected, so it should be true."

"Since that's the case, let me ask you again, Song State is adjacent to Jin and Chu. What was the relationship between the three countries in the past?"

"The Jin and Chu countries turned against each other, and the Song Dynasty was caught in the middle to have a good life, but it suffered a lot."

"There are benefits to be found in both ways. Did the Song Kingdom gain more benefits or suffer more from the battle between Jin and Chu?"

"Naturally it's a lot of suffering."

When Jin and Chu fought, refugees and bandits from the two countries all ran to Song State, which seriously affected the stability and stability of Song State.In order to fight for hegemony, the Jin and Chu countries fought many times in the territory of Song State, which caused Song State to be involved in the war.

In recent years, the situation has become more and more serious, and it has reached the point where wars are fought every two years.The population of Song State was consumed in this way.

"If you are in power in the Song Kingdom, do you want Jin and Chu to continue fighting, or to stop the war?"

"A truce, of course, is a truce."

"The Jin and Chu countries have had grievances for a long time. Waiting for them to take the initiative to cease the war is almost a dream. But if there is a third party leading, which country do you think is the most suitable?"

"The State of Song, of course it is the State of Song. The State of Song has contacts with both Jin and Chu, if so."

Kong Ci's heart turned a thousand times, and scenes flashed in his mind.

Kong Ci's eyes shone brightly: "Shan Nu means that Xiang Rong and Jin and Chu's Lingyin have a good relationship, and they are actually trying to persuade the upper echelons of Jin and Chu to agree to a truce? If so, then it makes sense.

Xiang Rong is Hua Yuan's sect, and Hua Yuan controls the military power, so the gifts sent to Xiang Rong will be included in the military accounts.Hua Yuan, this person is quite courageous, if he initiates the alliance to eliminate soldiers, there will be many people responding. "

Kong Ci thought about it and filled in the details that Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't possibly know.

Kong Ci knew more about Song State than Lin Xiaoxiao.

The biggest enemy of the Song Dynasty is not other vassal states, but the internal power struggle.

Since the fall of the Kong family, the noble family of the Song Dynasty was dominated by the Hua family, and they had already emptied the monarch.For more than a hundred years, the royal family has always wanted to take back the power, and the resulting power struggles have been staged in turn.The royal family has not yet succeeded, and Fahrenheit is not as powerful as it used to be.

It's just that their struggle consumes Song's national power.

Whether it is the royal family or Fahrenheit, they may not have noticed the decline of the Song Dynasty, but they cannot stop.

It should be noted that the truce between Jin and Chu was powerful in Song.Even if there is only a truce for a period of time, the people's livelihood in Song State can be restored.

It would be a great achievement to bring about a truce between Jin and Chu.

It is Fahrenheit's credit that Fahrenheit came forward with this matter.Undoubtedly, Fahrenheit can enhance the strength of the family.This is what the king does not want to see.

No wonder the content of this letter and the attitude of Kong Ci's friends in prison are so delicate.

The general who wrote the letter and Kong Ci's inmate knew the content of the letter.Starting from selfishness, most of them are in favor of the truce between Jin and Chu.But they are the monarch's cronies, and Hua Yuan cannot be allowed to do this for the monarch's consideration.

If you think about it a little deeper, the death of the general and the arrest of the prisoner in the middle of delivering the letter are a bit strange.If it wasn't for the Hua family, it is very likely that the two of them punished themselves.Especially the prisoner, if he hadn't been arrested, this letter should already be in the hands of the monarch.

Kong Ci was stunned, even a little scared.I was afraid that if I couldn't see through the truth, I would recklessly send the letter out.

Although Kong Ci hated the Hua family, he never talked about personal grudges in front of righteousness.The truce between Jin and Chu is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and he cannot destroy it for his own selfishness.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Kong Ci's expression, and asked with a smile, "Do you understand?"

"understood."

Kong Ci stood up and bowed to Lin Xiaoxiao: "Xie Shannv for pointing out the maze."

Lin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Let me send you another message, 'The trend of the times, nothing can stop it', I hope you will take care of yourself."

Kong Ci lived with Lin Xiaoxiao and his party for the time being, observing secretly while recuperating.

After Lin Xiaoxiao pointed him out that night, Kong Ci had a heart attack.

Returning to the temporary residence from Lin Xiaoxiao, Kong Ci took out the letter and burned it in front of Ah Wu.

But Kong Ci has new troubles.He didn't know where to go or what to do.

Back then when he went down the mountain privately, Kong Ci had a passion and a desire for revenge.Now, the blood has cooled, and revenge has been put on hold for the time being.

Kong Ci didn't want to go back to the mountain just yet.His heart will still be restless, unable to calm down.

Currently, Kong Ci is very interested in Lin Xiaoxiao and his party.In other words, he was curious about Lin Xiaoxiao, a mountain girl, and the people who followed her.

As the saying goes, phases are born from the heart.

The refugees who followed Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be a little different from the people of the Song Kingdom.They laugh and are in better spirits.Unlike those ordinary people who are running around for their livelihood, they are either hunched over or unsmiling.

That's right, the biggest difference between these refugees and the common people of the Song Dynasty is that they seem to stand straighter.

It was the first time for Kong Ci to see such a scene.

Be it Shannv, or the noble lady who always follows Shannv, their attitude towards the common people is too approachable.But the common people's trust and respect for them came from the bottom of their hearts.

Kong Ci has seen Shannv's magical skills with his own eyes, and he is also convinced of her ability.It's just that he still can't trust 100% like others.

So, Kong Ci made a decision, he planned to follow Shannu like those ordinary people.

Kong Ci expressed his wish to Lin Xiaoxiao.

Lin Xiaoxiao had some differences, but she didn't object.

"Following is not enough, you can follow us if you want, everyone has a care for each other."

During the days when Lin Xiaoxiao and her group lived temporarily in Tan Pingcheng, the outside of the city was not peaceful.

After all, Hua Cheng's surname was Hua, and his death still caused a lot of trouble.Hua Yuan sent people to investigate, they must know who killed the Hua family.

Those who came to investigate focused on Pengcheng, because Huacheng came all the way after leaving the city from there.

It has to be said that this person still has some abilities.He checked Hua Cheng's guards, and found Kong Ci after digging deep.

A man surnamed Kong actually appeared among Huacheng's guards.Moreover, the body of the man surnamed Kong has not been found after the incident, which means that he is still alive.

Thus, Kong Ci took the blame.

Kong Ci became a wanted criminal.His portrait hung all over the bulletin boards of the gates of the major cities.

Lin Xiaoxiao has seen that portrait.Kong Ci saw it himself.Others saw it too.

The person in the portrait is unkempt and has a beard on half of his face.

Now Kong Ci has shaved his beard and combed his hair, and he is a nobleman.
