Concubine Tao Xian looked at Concubine Jiang, who was obviously doubtful, and thought: It turns out that Jiang Zhao is not really indifferent.
However, she had no intention of teasing Jiang Zhao, and then said: "My dear concubine, you know that the Tao family has some connections in the military, so Jingyi joined His Highness Changding's team, and the Tao family also paid special attention to it."
Concubine Jiang listened quietly, still not understanding what Tao Shu wanted to say.
"One of the people in His Majesty Changding's team was a soldier who was sent to the martial arts pavilion from the Kannai Guard for training. It happened that my grandfather was acquainted with the Kannai Guard general, so he went to inquire about it."
This time, Concubine Jiang understood.
What Tao Shu wanted to say was the person in Xiaojiu's team, the soldier from Guannei Guard.
It seems to be called Ning...yes, Cao Ning.
"But what's the problem with Cao Ning?" Concubine Jiang asked directly.
There are only five people in Xiaojiu's team, and the other four people, whether they are Concubine Jiang or the Jiang family, have checked everything they can.
In the end, nothing special was found.
They all represent different meanings, but how can I put it, these will not have any actual impact on Xiaojiu's participation in the martial arts selection.
For example, Shen Chen, this person is the shopkeeper of Tiangong Pavilion and is good at developing weapons. Why Xiaojiu chose this person? What he said to the outside world was for the sake of Tiangong Pavilion.
In fact, Concubine Jiang already knew that this person was recommended by the Taifu Mansion, or more precisely, by the Taifu's youngest son.
There is also Chu Feiyuan who came from the imperial prison, which was allowed by the emperor, and can be said to be the emperor's power.
But which forces in the world are not the emperor’s? In other words, Chu Feiyuan does not represent the power of any party.
There is also Tao Jingyi, not to mention, coming from the Tao family in Northern Xinjiang. Because of her relationship with Concubine Tao Xian in the palace, it does not mean that this person will ultimately be on Xiaojiu's side.
Then, there is only one Cao Ning left.
Concubine Jiang knew that he was the first person in the martial arts pavilion to challenge Xiao Jiu, and he was also the weakest person in Xiao Jiu's team.
Now Tao Shu specifically mentioned Cao Ning. What did she say?
"The Tao family's investigation revealed that Cao Ning was well-received by several generals in Guannei Guards. The reason why he joined the army seems to have been helped by the Song family."
"Song family?"
Tao Shu smiled slightly and said: "It is the Song family, the Song family of the Anlehou Mansion... Oh, no, it should be said to be the Anlebo Mansion."
Previously, the Anlehou Mansion suffered from the Lin family and had been demoted.
Concubine Jiang was really surprised. She put away her original carelessness and asked seriously, "Is it really related to the Song family?"
She had not thought about the Song family in Anlebo Mansion for a long time. Ever since Xiaojiu and Prince Song broke off their engagement, she had never thought about this person again.
Now Tao Shu mentioned the Song family. The Song family had contacts with people in Xiaojiu's team, so she had to pay attention to it.
Concubine Tao Xian nodded and said, "Seriously, what did my concubine do to deceive you?"
The Tao family has been in the military for many years, so naturally there are areas of relationships that the Jiang family and others cannot deal with, so Jiang Guifei did not ask how she found out, let alone have any doubts about it.
She took a deep look at Concubine Tao Xian and said, "I would like to thank you very much on behalf of Xiaojiu."
Concubine Tao Xian waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite, noble concubine. Jingyi is in His Highness Chang Ding's team, and I also hope that she can win."
Besides, the Jiang family and the Tao family have reached some agreements. Although she is still jealous of Concubine Jiang's good luck, Concubine Tao Xian also attaches great importance to her beloved niece.
As soon as she learned the news, she immediately came to tell Concubine Jiang.
"Your Majesty, the Tao family only knows this. Cao Ning has not had contact with the Anlebo Mansion for many years. It is unknown what the situation is now."
It has been many years since Cao Ning joined the army, and he has not contacted Anlebo Mansion for so many years. Either he really has no contact, or he is avoiding the public eye.
Concubine Jiang nodded and said, "I understand."
Xiaojiu and Chang Dingsu will find out. If Cao Ning is really connected with Anlebo Mansion, there will definitely be clues left.
After hearing this, Concubine Tao Xian said that she would continue to pay attention to the situation in the army, and then left.
She knew that Concubine Jiang wanted to tell Princess Changding the news as soon as possible, so she did not delay.
Zheng Ji was also deeply surprised after receiving the summons from Concubine Jiang.
Song family? Cao Ning actually has contact with the Song family?
"Your Highness, what's going on?" Seeing Zheng Ji's solemn look, Qin Zhou couldn't help but ask.
Your Highness is his bread and butter, so nothing can happen to him, especially since the martial arts selection is about to begin.
Zheng Ji thought for a while and asked, "Qin Zhou, what news is there from Wei Yuqing?"
Wei Yuqing was a guard sent by Qin Zhou to monitor the Song family. He was originally a guard of Mingguang Palace, and now he has been responsible for monitoring the Song family.
Qin Zhou didn't understand why His Highness asked about Wei Yuqing, but he immediately replied: "Your Highness, there is no special news. The Song family has been very low-key since they were demoted. The Crown Prince of Song rarely leaves the house except to see the outer chamber. .”
That outer room naturally refers to Lin Jun.
This was all what His Highness had ordered. Even though His Highness had not asked about it recently, Wei Yuqing still sent the news over without any hesitation.
For the sake of silver, Qin Zhou was naturally very concerned about the Song family.
He thought that His Highness asked about the Song family because he wanted to know about Song Zan's movements, but he was wrong.
"Go and check. After Cao Ning came to Jingzhao, did the places he visited and the people he came in contact with have any contact with the Song family?"
Qin Zhou was shocked: "Your Highness, are you saying that Cao Ning is related to the Song family?"
He followed His Highness and was very familiar with the other four people in His Highness's team, especially Cao Ning, because they all used long swords and had fought against each other several times.
That dark-looking young soldier who looks particularly honest and honest, is he connected with the Song family?
"The Tao family in Northern Xinjiang found out the news, but no contact between them was found."
Like Concubine Jiang, Zheng Ji will not doubt the information found by the Tao family, but she has to continue to investigate the specific situation.
Cao Ning dared to be the first to challenge her and the first to join her team. Of course she knew that he would not be so innocent behind the scenes.
But Cao Ning and the Song family?
She really didn't expect it.
Song Zan in his previous life was a powerful minister and a hypocrite who played with power. Cao Ning in his previous life died fighting for his country. What kind of relationship would these two have?
She thought it was impossible.
So, is this Cao Ning really not the Cao Ning she knew in her previous life?
Because she couldn't imagine that a person related to the Song family would be such a heroic and brave person.
In any case, since the Tao family provided this clue, she wanted to find out.
Song Zan... She had almost forgotten this person.
