Chapter 321 The Wei Clan of Loulan
Knowing where the Ling family is makes things much easier.
At first, Yuan Shuchang took the Ling family away under the pretext of dealing with exiled fugitives.
To put it bluntly, this can be considered as helping Lord He.
Yuan Shuchang could say that they were being hunted down or encountered some accident and surrendered themselves to the authorities.
But the people who were sent to exile suddenly returned to the Yuan family.
That would be a different story.
"Father, shall we write a letter to Lord He quickly?"
"There's no rush yet."
Yunxuan comforted his daughter.
"If the Ling family's matter is handled well, it could also drag the Yuan family, and even the Prince of Yue, into the mess."
Ultimately, it's all about exchanging interests.
If it is discovered that they cannot obtain any benefits, the alliance will collapse on its own.
Just like the Gao family.
After being hunted down by the Qi family, he directly switched allegiance to them.
The Ling and Yuan families have done so much for the King of Yue, they must have a lot of leverage over him.
The emperor was worried about how to regain control of the northern border military, while the Yuan family was worried about how to reclaim Liuxianlou.
Isn't this the opportunity?
"Should I write a letter to Brother Yuan Qinghuai now?"
Yun Zhao wasn't very familiar with the imperial court, so in this regard, she still had to listen to her father!
Yunxuan took paper and pen from the side and wrote a letter himself.
"Is there any way to send a message to the Yuan family, Lord He, and the capital together?"
The falcon can deliver the letter to Yuan Qinghuai, but how can Lord He and Yang Jingyan, who is returning to the capital to report on their duties, receive the letter quickly?
"I can try to help with that."
Lu Xun took the initiative to speak.
Yunxuan knew that Lu Xun was definitely not an ordinary person, but Yang Jingyan was in the capital and still had to avoid the emperor's eyes and ears.
This is no simple matter.
Yun Zhao was the only one who believed that after a year of development, Tingyu Pavilion would surely have a channel for quickly transmitting information.
"Okay! Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Lu!"
Seeing that his daughter trusted Lu Xun so much, Yunxuan no longer had any doubts.
After writing their letters, Yunxuan handed one to Wei Mingde.
After confirming that the letter was in good condition, the two folded it up and handed it to Lu Xun.
Yun Zhao had been busy all night and was exhausted.
While waiting for Yunxuan to write the letter, her little head nodded little by little.
Yunxuan glanced at his daughter, then at Lu Xun.
He asked gently, "Brother Lu, could you please help me carry Zhaozhao back?"
Lu Xun paused for a moment, then subtly glanced at everyone.
Suddenly I understood something.
He nodded slightly and carried Yun Zhao out.
After Lu Xun left, Wei Mingde looked at him with a natural expression.
Yunxuan lowered his eyes and chuckled softly, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Did you know Brother Lu before, Lord Wei?"
Although it was a question, the tone of voice carried a sense of certainty.
He wasn't asking; he was saying that's how it is.
Xu Zhenbang was dumbfounded.
Lu Xun wasn't a chivalrous knight-errant whom his granddaughter happened to meet on the road and rescued.
“Father-in-law should be able to see that although Brother Lu’s style is that of a chivalrous knight-errant, his moves have a military flavor to them. He is not just a simple chivalrous knight-errant.”
Yunxuan's words surprised Wei Mingde.
Can you tell from this alone that they know each other?
When it came to Wei Jingchen's identity, Wei Mingde remained silent.
He was waiting, waiting to see how much Yunxuan had guessed.
"Lord Wei, we've spent a whole year together, and you should be able to see that we're people you can trust. Jingchen is growing up, do you really think we should continue to keep this a secret?"
Yunxuan has always been perceptive of people's hearts and knew that his elder brother was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with him.
Therefore, as a prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had no real power and did not keep secret guards in his residence.
His elder brother wanted him to continue inspecting water conservancy projects, so he continued.
His elder brother disliked his close association with ministers, so he never interacted with court officials in private.
To this day, he is still wondering if it is because of the overwhelming public support that his elder brother still fears him.
Throughout his twenty-odd years of life, he has always been observant and perceptive.
Therefore, when he first saw Lu Li, he could tell that Lu Li's attitude towards Wei Jingchen was different.
It was a kind of innate respect.
Logically speaking, the Lu family father and son met their own daughter first.
However, it is clear that the Lu family father and son seem to be more inclined to protect the Wei family.
After arriving at Linjia Village, Wei Jingchen rarely returned.
At the same time, however, the Lu family father and son were committed to protecting the Wei family.
It's like they're protecting the Wei family for Wei Jingchen.
Xu Yifei was Lu Xun's apprentice, and at first he only wanted to learn martial arts from Lu Xun.
Xu Zhenbang could see that Lu Xun's training of him was more about cultivating soldiers.
Lu Xun simply said it was a coincidence.
However, he harbored no ill will toward Xu Yifei, and Xu Zhenbang did not harbor any excessive suspicion.
However, Yunxuan noticed something else.
Just as Yan Yuze arrived, two spies happened to be there, allowing Yan Yuze to see Xu Yifei's potential to become an outstanding general.
It's all such a coincidence.
It was so coincidental that it seemed like someone was manipulating things.
Yunxuan suspected that all of this was related to one person.
That was Wei Xu, the King of Loulan back then.
The ancestors of the King of Loulan conquered the land for the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty. In gratitude, the Great Ancestor bestowed the Northwest upon the King of Loulan.
They also promised that the titles would be hereditary and that the power of the princes would never be diminished.
The King of Loulan also guarded the northwest for the Great Zhou, keeping the fierce Western Frontier Army outside the Western Mountains.
However, in the palace, there were several books that described the strength and intelligence of the Loulan people.
Coincidentally, Yunxuan greatly admired the first King of Loulan and often perused that book.
They were very familiar with the way of doing things of the Loulan Weishi lineage.
The style of all of this is very similar to that of Loulan Weishi.
In addition, when Wei Jingchen returned recently, his brows had become increasingly deep-set, making him look quite different from Wei Mingde and his wife.
He then began to suspect Wei Jingchen's identity.
Lu Xun's return with a letter only fueled his suspicions.
What a coincidence! What kind of place is Liuxianlou? If you didn't go there specifically to get to know him, how could you have met the male favorite that was given to the King of Yue?
Not to mention that it just so happened that Lu Xun was on Tingyu Pavilion's boat at that time, and by such a coincidence, he entrusted the person and the letter to Lu Xun.
If it's not all a coincidence, then the truth is that the young master of Tingyu Pavilion is Wei Jingchen.
Wei Jingchen was a descendant of the Wei family.
After hearing Yunxuan's explanation, Wei Mingde couldn't help but sigh.
Everyone says that the Prince of Jin most resembles the late emperor.
In retrospect, it was even worse.
If the Prince of Jin had ascended the throne, how could the court have become such a chaotic and corrupt place in less than ten years?
"Your Highness has a good eye."
"Lord Wei, the Tingyu Pavilion has grown so rapidly in such a short time, it's inevitable that it will attract jealousy."
The King of Yue's Misty Rain Pavilion also did this kind of business, so conflicts were inevitable.
We must now take action against the King of Yue. To ensure our safety, we must never let him know Jing Chen's identity.
There are some things I hope Lord Wei can tell me; I think Lord Wei should understand the implications.
Yunxuan was, after all, a member of the royal family. No matter how gentle he was, he still carried the air of someone in a superior position deep down.
Wei Mingde sighed helplessly. It was because Wei Jingchen looked more and more like the King of Loulan that he had Wei Jingchen leave under some pretext.
"Jingchen is indeed as Your Highness thinks, but I have spent time with his father."
He's definitely not that kind of person. There might be another truth to this. (Listening to Rain Pavilion)
It was passed down from his mother's lineage, but the identity of the owner of Tingyu Pavilion has always been kept secret.
So no one knew that the owner of Tingyu Pavilion was the later Queen of Loulan.
