Go Find Him

"Looking for death!" Situ Xie's eyes were fierce, and he stretched out his hand to hit Old Man Mu.

Situ Han was furious, "Does the emperor's uncle still have me in his eyes? Are you going to rebel? Come on! Capture the King of Yue!"

Situ Xie and Old Man Mu had just started fighting, and a team of fully armed elite soldiers rushed in from outside, ordered to besiege Situ Xie.

These people did not have the ability to capture Situ Xie, but they were enough to disrupt his attack on Old Man Mu.

Old Man Mu saw an opportunity and rushed out of the imperial study, "Since the King of Yue is unwilling, I will leave first and come back another day!"

Situ Han's expression changed, and he heard Situ Xie roaring, "Get out! Why don't you catch him quickly?"

Situ Han finally reacted and quickly ordered everyone to intercept Old Man Mu.

But when Situ Xie rushed out with his men, where was the shadow of Old Man Mu? Only Situ Xie and Situ Han's sullen faces proved that he had really been there.

Situ Xie returned to the imperial study and shut the door heavily, leaving only him and Situ Han inside.

Situ Han looked at Situ Xie's gloomy face and was shocked, "Uncle, what are you doing? Someone come!"

Situ Xie roared, "Whoever dares to come in will be killed without mercy!"

"You... do you really want to rebel? I really didn't wrong you!" Situ Han pulled out the long sword on the wall and pointed it at Situ Xie.

Situ Xie took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Put down the sword, I just want to talk to you. Some things should be made clear now."

"Uncle, do you want to tell me that you don't know that the man surnamed Zhao in the mansion is a descendant of the Mu family? Or that the auction of the Mu family secret record in the Treasure Pavilion has nothing to do with you?" Situ Han said coldly.

Situ Xie shook his head, "His real name is Mu Yu, I knew it from the beginning. The secret record of the Treasure Pavilion was handed over by Mu Yu."

"You are so good! You sold it to the prince and made a lot of money. You hid such a big thing from me. You are really my good uncle!" Situ Han laughed in anger.

Situ Xie's face calmed down, "I just want to get the complete secret record before handing it over to the emperor."

Situ Han sneered, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"

Situ Xie looked at Situ Han, "After Ah Xiang ran away, she gave birth to a son."

Situ Han was struck by lightning and looked at Situ Xie in disbelief, "What did you say? What son?"

"Although the man just now had bad intentions, what he said was true. You also have a son who is wandering outside. He was born by Ah Xiang and named Situ Jing." Situ Xie chose to talk about Situ Jing at this time to divert the conflict between Situ Han and him that was about to break out.

Situ Han frowned, "You said she was dead!"

"I thought she was dead at first, but later I found her and Jing'er." Situ Xie said.

"Where is she? Where is the child? What did you do with them?" Situ Han stared at Situ Xie.

"I know you really like Xiang, but it's a pity that she has someone in her heart and doesn't want to enter the palace as a concubine." Situ Xie sighed deeply, "I wanted to use Jing'er to bring Xiang back with me. She had agreed, but she was taken away again."

"Who took her away?" Situ Han asked coldly.

"Nangong Lin, the man she likes." Situ Xie said, "They wanted to take the child away, but I left the blood of the Situ family behind."

Situ Han became excited, "What about the child? What about the son that Ah Xiang gave birth to for me? Is his name Jing'er?"

"I raised him somewhere else." Situ Xie said, "The eldest son of the Chen family in Xuanbei City, Gan State, Chen Yun, is Jing'er."

"Chen Yun? Chen... I know this name! He is a general of Gan State!" Situ Han was surprised, "Did you arrange it? You actually let my son and Ah Xiang be spies since childhood?"

"He is alive, with high martial arts, superior mind, and long experience. All your other sons combined are not as good as him. If you want to blame me for this, I have nothing to say. Liang State does not lack princes, but lacks heroes who are brave and resourceful and can accomplish great things! Otherwise, generation after generation, they can only live in the bitter and cold north!" Situ Xie said coldly.

Situ Han narrowed his eyes, "No... No! I know Chen Yun was transferred to Jiaye City last year. Is this Yan Kingdom's attack on Liang Kingdom related to him?"

"Yes. It was my idea that he would go to Jiaye City. The original plan was to instigate Yan Kingdom to send troops, cooperate with him from inside and outside, and make Gan Kingdom retreat step by step, and then we would send troops to the north. He did what he should do, but the bad thing was that Fan Tong sent troops ahead of schedule regardless of the agreement, resulting in Jing'er being detained before she returned with Xing Ji's daughter." Situ Xie said that Situ Jing was right and blamed the failure on Fan Tong, who was already dead. Because if he told the truth, Situ Han would only think that everything was his fault.

"You and Fan Tong have colluded for a long time? Do you have me in your eyes?" Situ Han became more and more angry as he listened. He did not expect that the war between Yan Kingdom and Gan Kingdom was really related to Liang Kingdom, and it was even planned by Situ Xie. Success would naturally be of great benefit, but it failed! It also involved his son who knew nothing about it before!

"I also want to discuss things with the emperor, but the emperor always refuses to discuss. Over time, I always think about telling you after I have done something, so that I can help you solve your problems." Situ Xie sighed deeply.

"That kid is still working for the country? Hasn't he been discovered?" Situ Han asked.

Situ Xie shook his head, "Originally, his disguise was perfect, but who knew that Nangong Lin would find him again, and Su Liang and Gu Ling found out."

Situ Han gritted his teeth, "Nangong Lin! Why is he not dead yet? Where is Jing'er now? How is he?"

"He was taken away by Nangong Lin." Situ Xie smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, he did not fall into the hands of the Qian people. I still underestimated the strength of Su Liang and Gu Ling..."

Situ Han interrupted him, "Gu Ling! Do you still have the nerve to mention Gu Ling? If you hadn't rushed to Qianguo to plead for him in public and asked Duanmu Yi to rehabilitate him and restore his identity, he would still be a shady person today. How can a traitor like us turn against us and only want to help Qian Guo? "

Situ Xie frowned, "This is because I don't know him well enough. I thought that since we are blood relatives after all, helping him would be useful to him sooner or later, but I didn't expect that he didn't care about our feelings at all."

"You just want to tell me that Yan Guo's defeat was your fault? You and Axiang's son have been arranged by you to be your slaves for more than 20 years, and now their whereabouts are unknown?" Situ Han was extremely angry, "He deceived everything and made his own decisions. , Lawless! I will dethrone you! If you have no intention of rebellion, go back and live your life!”

Situ Xie sighed again, "Your Majesty, the throne is not important to me. I just want to make Liang Country better. I hope to see that the world belongs to the Situ family in my lifetime!"

"Since the emperor understands the righteousness so well, it's settled! From now on, you are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Liang Kingdom! Otherwise, don't blame me for not caring about friendship!" Situ Han looked gloomy.

Situ Xie shook his head, "Only if we work together as one, can we give the Situ family a bright future!"

Situ Han looked sarcastic, "Are you trying to say that without your help, it would be impossible for me to accomplish my great cause? I have been too tolerant to you these years, and that's why I made you forget your duty as a minister!"

Situ Xie looked at Situ Han. His hair, which had been well maintained before, had become even more frosty due to too much thinking recently.

The atmosphere fell silent.

After a long time, Situ Xie spoke again, "Your Majesty is a smart man. Based on our relationship and my training of Jing'er, you should understand that I have not thought about that position."

Hearing the words "our relationship", Situ Han's expression suddenly changed. How could he not know that he was Situ Xie's biological son.

"The more times like this, the more the enemies who are eyeing us want to see us fighting among ourselves." Situ Xie said earnestly, "Even if the person just now is really the head of the Mu family, I'm afraid he has already colluded with the Qian Kingdom or the Yan Kingdom, otherwise he wouldn't have Say those things to drive a wedge between us.”

Situ Han snorted coldly, "If it's the truth, why can't you tell me? If he doesn't tell me, how long will your uncle want to hide it from me?"

"Your Majesty, please be careful these days." Situ Xie regained his composure, "Just remember that I will not compete for that position. No matter what I do, it will be to help the Emperor and Liang Kingdom."

"Let's wait until you get Jing'er back!" Situ Han said coldly.

The people outside were ready to rush in at any time, but they didn't expect Situ Xie to be very calm when he left. Situ Han only ordered people to evacuate.

When Situ Xie left the palace and returned to his home, he was not surprised to learn that Mu Yu was missing. He only sent people to secretly investigate the possible destination of the master and disciple in the city.

And soon, the news spread from the capital of Qian Kingdom to Liang Kingdom: Emperor Situ Han was the son of the Queen Mother and the King of Yue from an affair!

The people did not dare to discuss the emperor's affairs unreasonably, but they could not stop those who were interested in adding fuel to the flames and spreading the word to everyone.

Then there are rumors that the late emperor was killed by Situ Xie. The reason why Situ Xie did not compete for the throne was because his son was already sitting on the throne... such rumors.

There are some things that some people may not know. As long as they don’t tell them, they can pretend they don’t exist.

But if you want to say it out, it would be a slap in the face and embarrassing.

And what the royal family cares about most is face.

When Situ Xie learned about it, he immediately thought that it must be Qian Guo who was up to something. But he was still a little confused. Even if the Liang Kingdom led the war that just passed behind the scenes, would the Qian Kingdom have to be at odds with the Liang Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom at the same time? Ordinarily, with Duanmu Yi's shrewdness, it's time to put things to rest at this point...

…

Yaocheng.

The hunched old man slowly walked into a dark alley and then disappeared.

"Not found!" Lao Mu pushed open a dilapidated wooden door, straightened up, and entered the room with a sullen face.

The smell of medicine is strong. After Lao Bai left the Su Mansion, he became sloppy again. He was sitting among a pile of medicinal materials, concentrating on his work without raising his head.

Lao Mu groaned angrily, "My apprentice said he had never seen that girl in Prince Yue's Mansion. Situ Xie often mentioned her, but what he said did not sound like he had arrested our little girl! Could it be that the little girl was arrested? , not here yet?”

Lao Bai still ignored it.

Lao Mu didn't dare to get close to Lao Bai for fear of being poisoned, so he said to himself, "I'll go explore again tonight! Those thieves and son are really in the same boat, and they didn't fall out with each other! When you prepare the medicine, kill Situ Xie first. , then destroy Situ Han! Just pick a fool to be the emperor and give the Liang Kingdom to the Qian Kingdom! No, no, it can’t be given to the Qian Kingdom. The little girl can’t be suppressed by the emperor of the Qian Kingdom for the rest of her life. Let her be the emperor! Ha ha ha ha!"

Lao Bai finally reacted, looked at Lao Mu coldly and said, "What kind of good thing is that? I want to be treated like you!"

Lao Mu hummed, "What if the little girl likes it? I am her serious master, don't think you know her better!"

Lao Bai did not argue and lowered his head.

In the next few days, the biggest thing in Yaocheng is that Princess Yaoguang of Prince Yue's Mansion, who was scheduled to get married, has disappeared!

Situ Yao was abducted by a mysterious person on her way to the palace to see the Queen Mother. The city was quickly sealed and searched, but her captor disappeared as if out of thin air.

But one day passed, and the palace or Prince Yue's Mansion did not receive any news from the kidnappers.

Situ Xie was in a state of panic and at a loss. He suspected that this was also done by the royal family of Gan State, or even by Su Liang and Gu Ling! But, why? Situ Jing has fallen into the hands of the Gan people!

Until this day, when Situ Jing suddenly appeared in front of Situ Xie...

"Jing'er?" It was the first time that Situ Xie saw an adult Situ Jing without a beard. After being surprised, he hugged him, "It's really Jing'er! You're okay, so good!"

Situ Jing looked indifferent, "Grandfather, don't you blame me for ruining the big thing?"

Situ Xie let go of Situ Jing and sighed, "Now that things have come to this, it's good that you can come back. I told your father about your identity. He blamed me for not telling him earlier, and also blamed me for letting you go to Gan State. He felt guilty about you. In fact, grandfather has regretted it a long time ago. He wanted to take you back several times, and hoped that you could make contributions to Liang State and come back, establish prestige, and give you the best arrangements."

"I disappointed grandfather." Situ Jing lowered his eyes.

Situ Xie shook his head and patted his shoulder, "We are a family, why are you talking about this? If it weren't for Nangong Lin's mischief, your identity would not have been discovered by Su Liang and Gu Ling, and you would have a bright future."

Situ Xie pulled Situ Jing to sit down, and mentioned that Situ Jing and Situ Yao were both arrested, looking tired, "I'm very happy that you're back. But the current situation is very unfavorable to Liang Country, and I don't know what Gan Country is trying to do. If it was really Su Liang who arrested Yao'er, I'm not worried that she would hurt Yao'er."

Situ Jing's face was calm, "It's not her."

Situ Xie's eyes condensed, "How do you know?"

Situ Jing said, "She's in my hands."

Situ Xie's face was shocked, and then overjoyed, "Really? That's great! Where is she?"

"Not in Liang Country, it's far away from here." Situ Jing said.

Situ Xie frowned, "Why is that?"

Situ Jing said that he had a sister, and Su Liang was treating her and would not be out of control.

Situ Xie sighed, "That's good. The people of Gan country don't know about this matter. They must think that Su Liang was brought here by you, otherwise they wouldn't have sent people to capture Yao'er. I'm afraid it was Gu Ling who did it. Since they think Su Liang is in our hands, things will be much easier."

...

Nameless Island.

Su Liang's period has not come yet, and she has been taking her pulse every day for several days in a row. Finally, she is sure that she should be pregnant!

Su Liang went out with bamboo shoots in her arms and went to the backyard to find Qiu Cong who was chopping wood to report the good news, "Master, I'm pregnant."

Qiu Cong asked back, "What?"

Su Liang smiled, "Of course I'm pregnant!"

Qiu Cong nodded, "I knew it."

Su Liang looked up at the sky speechlessly.

Qiu Cong said, "Whatever you want, I'll buy it."

Su Liang said in a faint tone, "I want the child's father to accompany me."

Qiu Cong frowned, "Where is he?"

Su Liang was stunned, "If I tell Master where he is, Master plans to capture him too?"

"If you insist on having him." Qiu Cong nodded.

Su Liang's eyes were sparkling, "Xiangyue City."

"Are you sure?" Qiu Cong narrowed his eyes, "You said before that you didn't know."

"Baby told me in a dream." Su Liang said nonsense seriously, "If Master can't find him in Xiangyue City, forget it."

"It's too far." Qiu Cong frowned.

Just when Su Liang thought Qiu Cong was going to say he wouldn't go, he heard him say, "Wait until I chop the firewood, kill a few more rabbits and pheasants, and buy some food, and then I'll go find him."
