Zhou Dalu nodded slightly: "My niece really amazes the world."
The empress's mother, Concubine Shu, was the princess of Qin. She was actually from the Zhou family, so there was nothing wrong with Zhou Dalu calling her his niece.
Jiang Fan smiled: "It's a pity that she doesn't know that her uncle is doing things for me."
Zhou Dalu suddenly said seriously: "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about the relationship between my Zhou family and Wushuang. Our ancestors taught us that the Zhou family, for generations to come, will only choose the master of the Ming Dynasty, no matter how close they are to each other."
Jiang Fan waved his hand: "Needless to say, I have no doubts about employing people. Besides...she is the bright master."
Zhou Dalu's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, looking at him thoughtfully.
"One more thing," Jiang Fan pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know about Lord Yanshou Xing?"
Zhou Dalu nodded: "Meng Chanjuan. When we found her, she had been lurking for a long time. The city lord understands that if we get rid of her, the Feng family will arrange for others, so it is better to keep her to deliver some false news."
Jiang Fan nodded: "Now the Qin State and Ji Le, which I represent, are officially at war with the Feng family, both openly and secretly. You should pay attention to this person."
Zhou Dalu was stunned for a moment: "My lord, do you have any intention of getting rid of her?"
Jiang Fan shook his head: "No, I want you to try your best to protect her."
Zhou Dalu said with some confusion: "Now that the war has begun, there may not be much benefit in keeping her. After all, she is Fengchen's biological sister."
Jiang Fan sighed: "Just remember my words and protect her."
Zhou Dalu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes became strange: "My lord, could it be..."
Jiang Fan knew at a glance that he was thinking the wrong way: "Don't think so wildly, I won't see the beauty unable to walk."
Zhou Dalu rubbed his hands and smiled: "The problem is, she is not an ordinary beauty, she is the most beautiful woman in the world——"
"Stop! Stop! The fundamental reason is that she is one of ours."
Jiang Fan had no choice but to say this, otherwise Zhou Dalu would not know where he would go.
This time Zhou Dalu was shocked: "What? One of our own? She..."
Jiang Fan said: "I know that Feng Tiannan's daughter, Fengchen's sister, is one of the Six Generals. But she is my Bliss Six Tails, and she is of great use to me..."
Zhou Dalu was obviously shocked, but slowly he seemed to have some understanding. However, the look on his face made Jiang Fan feel that his understanding of what he said was very useful and was going astray...
After bidding farewell to Zhou Dalu, Jiang Fancai once again disguised himself as a yellow-faced drunkard with the Tianhu mask, and walked out of Penglaiju with shaky steps.
It was already dark, and there were almost no pedestrians on the street. The winter night was still very cold. Jiang Fan wrapped himself in a sheepskin fur and walked along the street to Gao's house in a circuitous way, humming Qin opera.
He knew that Lu Hanting was following behind him, but he still chose to be cautious. After all, Wuwei was very important and it was too dangerous in the Feng family. If he was exposed, he would die.
It was a starless and moonless winter night, very cold, but Jiang Fan felt that it was different from the previous cold, and there seemed to be some strange cold air rising from behind. His intuition made him turn around and observe many times, but he found nothing.
Lu Hanting never showed up either. Could it be that it was his own misunderstanding? But this vague weird feeling has been going on and off for about three months...
Nothing happened. Jiang Fan returned to Gao Mansion smoothly, told Jie Yu about Gao Rong's situation, which reassured her, and then returned to the mortal residence through the tunnel.
After a night of silence, at noon the next day, Jiang Fan received news from Yao Guang, who was in charge of overall intelligence in Yangdu, that the two hundred people were indeed gone. There are rumors everywhere that it was the hand of King Xiaoyao.
At the same time, Zhao Gao also hurriedly came to report the matter, telling him that it was done at dawn, no outsiders, a jailer poisoned everyone, and then committed suicide himself. Leaving a blood letter implies that a certain nobleman threatened the lives of his family members, so he had to do it as a last resort.
So to the outside world, it obviously looks like it was done by King Xiaoyao.
Following Jiang Fan's instructions, Zhao Gao did not block the situation excessively, but secretly dispatched the Dragon Eagle Guards to take action to secretly investigate the news.
Major events in Yangdu continued one after another, one after another. Even though the vast majority of Qin people trusted King Xiaoyao at this time, it was hard to say. After all, these people were so audacious that they tried to trick the people into besieging this powerful man and killing him. Not surprising.
However, this inevitably brings a stain on his image as an immortal, and also raises more doubts about whether King Xiaoyao has done those things.
On this day, Jiang Fan didn't go anywhere. He spent most of the time sitting on the swing, but swinging on the swing in the cold weather made people look a little crazy.
In the evening, Alai sent a letter from Jiang Qi. The Mrs. Wang in Xiahou Mansion had returned to normal, and Xiahou Chun did not become suspicious.
Because Mrs. Wang was poisoned by visiting Xia Houting, she seemed to have been exposed.
This allowed Jiang Fan to let go of another worry.
The book also mentions one thing: Princess Wei has left Jian'an and headed north.
Jiang Fan shook his head and smiled, understanding that although King Wei let the princess go through him, he was not at ease letting her come to his territory. She was obviously sent to Xiaohong in Northern Xinjiang.
As for the other Shangguan clan members, all of them have left Wei and are missing.
Of course, for Jiang Fan, it is not that he has disappeared. They have been away for a hundred years and have finally returned to Paradise. It is not known whether they can adapt to it.
After thinking about it, he wrote two letters and gave one to Jiang Qi, giving some instructions. Another letter asked her to send it to Xiaohong in Northern Xinjiang. The letter just reminded me of one thing: try not to go back to Jian'an. Presumably Xiaohong would understand what she meant when she saw her mother arriving.
After dealing with this, he even had the mood to go to the dungeon and meet Shi Shen, who was favored by the old Xingjun.
After chatting with each other, he was both in tears and laughter. It turns out that this person fell into the trap because he was attracted by the knowledge hidden in Ying Pei's study. Now that he has the chance to break into the house, you won't want to leave even if you beat him to death.
Jiang Fan made some observations and saw that this man was indeed obsessed with astronomy. He finally decided to let him out of the dungeon, but he refused, saying that the dungeon was clean and free of trivial matters, which was perfect for learning.
Haha, the scholar's thinking is different, so let him go, but he ordered the jailer to take good care of him.
Afterwards, after having a few days of free time, Mr. Jiang finally had time to fish, study, eat and drink, and felt that he had found his favorite.
Until a few days later, Ba Qing suddenly came from Lishan and said that people everywhere were accusing Lishan of robbing people. Many people began to gather outside Lidu and asked to open the gate of Lidu to prove the authenticity.
"Has there been any trouble?" Jiang Fan asked.
Ba Qing said: "Not really, but there is always some trouble, and there are obviously people behind it, and the number of people is getting bigger and bigger. The Governor said it is not difficult to deal with it at the moment, but he wants to hear what your plan is."
