Ding Changhe and Jiang Li did not return to the front yard, but left the house without knowing where they went.
Early in the morning, Ding Han sent a girl to invite Ding Changhe. Grandma Sun said that the uncle went to the front yard after dinner.
The girl chased her to the front yard, and the servant said that the uncle had returned to the main yard again.
Panting heavily, the girl chased her to the main courtyard again. An Ran saw that this girl was not easy, so she asked the girl to go to the front yard to ask.
After a while, the girl came back and said that the uncle had taken someone out of the house.
The girl returned to Zhixinzhai with a grimace and no tears. Needless to say, the old lady would definitely lose her temper.
But this time, Ding Hanshi kept his composure and did not curse or throw anything. Just tell the girl to keep an eye on her and invite her over as soon as the uncle comes back.
The girl patted her chest and quickly retreated.
Ding Changhe and Jiang Li rushed all the way, and when they arrived outside the city, they saw several people from the border. ?.?????.ℂ??
Two hours later, he came back quietly. He passed through a dark alley and arrived at a secret room, where he met a few more people in the dark.
In the evening, I made an appointment with some colleagues to have dinner at a restaurant. After the meal, they discussed it for a long time.
It wasn't until evening that he returned home with a solemn expression.
After An Ran finished eating with her three children, she went to bed first because she didn't know when Ding Changhe would come back, but there was still a light left for him in the main room.
An Ran, who was sleeping, suddenly felt someone beside the bed and sat up.
Through the dim light, I could see clearly that Ding Changhe was sitting beside the bed.
"Uncle, why did you come back so late? You didn't say anything to scare me."
Ding Changhe said nothing.
An Ran came closer and reached out to touch Ding Changhe's face, which felt cold. "Uncle, what's going on? But something is wrong."
Ding Changhe hugged An Ran into his arms and hugged her tightly. This made An Ran feel uneasy. If there was nothing important, Ding Changhe would not be so gloomy.
"Uncle, we are husband and wife, don't hide anything from me. Although I can't help you, don't keep it all to yourself."
Ding Changhe just hugged An Ran tightly for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "I guess I will wrong you again for a while."
"what happened."
"Maybe I'll have to ask you to go to the country again to get away."
An Ran smiled, "What a grievance this is. It's fine for me to live in the countryside. I haven't said what the matter is yet."
An Ran touched Ding Changhe's slightly cold hand and saw that he smelled of alcohol. He hurriedly got out of bed and went out to bring him water to scrub him.
Ding Changhe grabbed An Ran and saw that she was only wearing her underwear. He said displeasedly, "Just go out like this. Don't move. I'll wash it myself. I'll talk to you in detail when I get back."
An Ran quickly found a change of clothes for him. While Ding Changhe was washing up, An Ran asked the girl to boil water and made tea by herself.
After Ding Changhe finished drinking two cups of tea, An Ran didn't rush him and just stayed with him quietly.
Then I heard Ding Changhe talk about the news gathered today.
Xiao Shitou did an outstanding job in the frontier, which made the emperor very satisfied with him, but there was another problem, that is, he could not take over the whole frontier.
Ding Changhe had already guessed that the father and son were in power both internally and externally, which was something the people above did not want to see.
How could he let Ding Changhe and his son grow up both inside and outside? Although he admired Little Stone more, Ding Changhe was in a powerful position and had too many connections and influence, which made the emperor have to be wary. .
Xiao Shitou had also been assassinated several times on the border. Based on his usual methods, Ding Changhe knew that it was the work of the regent.
What Ding Changhe is now worried about is that the people he has placed in the military headquarters and military camps will be quietly taken away or killed by him. With the character of the regent, he will not recognize them like this.
The most important thing is that the emperor has begun to make plans to consolidate the power in the hands of the regent. In the capital, perhaps he will soon face off against the regent.
Xiao Shitou doesn't have to worry, but he still has two young sons. They don't have the skills of Xiao Shitou, and currently they don't have the ability to protect themselves.
An Ran understood clearly that Xiao Shitou was cooperating with the emperor to attack the regent's people at the border. The emperor wanted the regent to withdraw from the court. No matter which side there were Ding Changhe and his son, they had to fight against each other again. .
An Ran refilled the tea for Ding Changhe and asked, "Is it safe if I take my children and hide in the countryside?"
Ding Changhe took An Ran's hand and said softly, "If we are in the countryside, my secret people can be effective. I will keep people on the only way into the village and around the village. Besides, the city is my territory." But the capital city is not good. The courtiers’ families have a certain number of nursing homes. If it is discovered that I have secretly supported so many people, the emperor will not tolerate it."
Indeed, covert forces are more effective in the countryside. If you are in the capital, you will inevitably show your flaws and be caught in pigtails.
"Then I will take the children back to the countryside. Do you feel that there is going to be a change in the government?"
Ding Changhe admired An Ran's acumen very much, "It's not obvious yet. The emperor has been on the throne for a few years and his wings are getting richer. He will start to slowly gather power."
"If I take my child out of the capital, will it attract other people's attention? I take my child away for no reason. I don't believe that the people above are unprepared for important ministers like you."
Ding Changhe also nodded and said, "Indeed, the royal spies will not relax about the residences of important ministers."
"If we go back to the countryside, what will happen to Ziheng's studies? Will Ping'er take him with him? If so, where is Aunt Yu?"
Ding Changhe pondered for a moment, "I will find a gentleman to follow Zi Heng back to the countryside. Ping'er will stay in the capital. He is the adopted son. Xiao Shitou and Zi Heng are here, so no one will beat him."
