Chapter 298 News from Big Brother (Update 1)
Yun Luoxiao felt uncomfortable when he thought of his old friend Wei Jia Sanlang.
Thinking of her third brother, Jiang Zhiluo's eyes reddened. Her third brother was so good.
"My third brother is very sincere to others. He often mentions His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when he returns home. When he mentions you, his eyes light up. I think he probably also truly enjoys studying with you!"
Yun Luoxiao nodded and said, "He is also my best brother!"
If the third brother knew that the Crown Prince treated him as his best brother, he would be flattered.
After all, this is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not someone with any other identity.
"If my brother knew that Mengmeng was taken care of so well by you, he would definitely be very grateful and relieved!"
Yun Luoxiao said, "It's a pity that when the Wei family was in trouble, I was unable to arrange for people to go to the border to find him immediately. If I could have found him, perhaps he would be fine now."
Yes, now Jiang Zhiluo also knows that her elder brother did not die on the battlefield.
But at that time, my eldest brother was indeed seriously injured and his appearance was completely disfigured. Even the enemy thought it was just a corpse.
Later, after the war, a woman rescued the eldest brother and took him to the mountains.
The reason why there has been no news from my eldest brother is that he was seriously injured and has been in a coma.
That woman took care of my eldest brother during those years.
Later, the eldest brother woke up and had a child with that woman, Qiao Mengmeng.
But no one knew what happened, they were being hunted down and assassinated.
The woman arranged for someone to send Qiao Mengmeng to the State of Yan.
It just so happened that Yun Luoxiao's secret guard had been gathering information at that checkpoint, and happened to rescue that man and Qiao Mengmeng.
Only after seeing the token did I know some news.
Not long after Qiao Mengmeng was rescued, the man who escorted Qiao Mengmeng died due to serious injuries.
Moreover, the whereabouts of my eldest brother and that woman are unknown.
I don’t know whether he is dead or alive.
Yun Luoxiao said, "I've been sending people to look for news about them, but there's no news."
"The person escorting Qiao Mengmeng is quite skilled, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to break through the encirclement and escape. So, that woman might also be of an extraordinary status."
Jiang Zhiluo was also confused.
"Who on earth could assassinate Big Brother and that woman?"
"If it's not because of Big Brother's identity, then it's because of that woman's identity."
Jiang Zhiluo was thinking about this matter as she spoke.
Suddenly, as if she thought of something, she asked, "Mengmeng, do you still remember your memories before you were one year old?"
Although normally she wouldn't remember it, Jiang Zhiluo still asked.
Qiao Mengmeng shook her head and said, "I can't remember."
Qiao Mengmeng is very sensible and can understand what adults say.
Jiang Zhiluo suddenly seemed to think of something and said, "Mengmeng was infected with the poisonous insect before she was one year old, and this is related to southern Xinjiang."
"Do you think that woman is related to Southern Xinjiang?"
There are poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang. Could it be a power struggle and people from southern Xinjiang went to assassinate the woman?
If this is the guess, it does make sense.
When Yun Luoxiao heard this analysis, his expression changed, "Perhaps this is possible!"
"In that case, I will arrange for people to investigate in southern Xinjiang!"
"However, I sent two groups of people to the southern border to look for the fragrant purple grass, but neither group has sent any news. I'm worried that they might have died once they entered the southern border!"
This is something that makes people feel serious.
Jiang Zhiluo seemed to be lost in thought. It seemed that the situation in southern Xinjiang was more complicated and dangerous than she had imagined.
But maybe this is also a clue.
Since there has been news that my eldest brother is alive, Yun Luoxiao’s secret guards are all similar, so maybe he is really in southern Xinjiang.
Jiang Zhiluo felt excited at the thought of seeing her elder brother, who was still alive.
After things here are resolved, Jiang Zhiluo wants to go to southern Xinjiang in person and take a look.
Even if it's dangerous, I have to go.
Qiao Mengmeng is the eldest brother's daughter, so she must find the fragrant purple grass to save Mengmeng.
And maybe I can find my big brother!
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiluo's expression was determined.
Of course Yun Luoxiao didn’t know this.
After the two of them talked for a while and had dinner, Jiang Zhiluo took Qiao Mengmeng to bed, and Yun Luoxiao had to go to the study to deal with some things.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Yun Luoxiao with sympathy.
Jiang Zhiluo knew that Yun Luoxiao got up before dawn every day and went to bed very late at night.
It's really, really busy.
Jiang Zhiluo could see the dark marks under Yun Luoxiao's eyes while he was eating. He looked like he had not had enough rest.
But persuasion is of no use.
Because he does have a lot to deal with.
If you want to govern and manage the conquered states well, you have to be so busy.
In fact, he could have just let his subordinates handle it.
But the country had just been conquered and the people had just been able to live and work in peace and contentment. Yun Luoxiao would rather work harder and personally review some things.
He was worried that some of his subordinates would pretend to obey his orders but actually fail to do anything for the people.
Yes, although Yun Luoxiao has many trustworthy people, some of his subordinates joined him halfway.
How could he be completely trusted?
Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and took Qiao Mengmeng to wash up and go to bed.
Qiao Mengmeng blinked her big eyes and looked like she didn't want to sleep.
"Go to sleep!"
Jiang Zhiluo was still thinking about coaxing Qiao Mengmeng to sleep so that she could go out.
When Jiang Zhiluo was with Qiao Mengmeng, she felt as if her brothers were still there.
So when facing Qiao Mengmeng, Jiang Zhiluo was extremely gentle.
"Auntie, I want to hear a story!"
Yes, the little girl likes listening to Jiang Zhiluo telling stories the most now.
The stories Jiang Zhiluo tells are stories that do not exist in this era.
These are all modern children's stories.
But there are also some historical stories mixed in.
For example, getting up and dancing upon hearing the cock-crow, drilling a hole in the wall to steal light, quenching thirst by looking at plum blossoms, etc.
She wanted Qiao Mengmeng to gain wisdom while listening to stories.
The little girl looked at Jiang Zhiluo with soft and cute eyes, and her voice was as sweet as if she was acting coquettishly.
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't stand it at all, so she told Qiao Mengmeng whatever she wanted to hear.
"Today I'm going to tell you the story of Snow White. In a kingdom far away, there lived a beautiful Snow White..."
Of course, Jiang Zhiluo would also tell the little girl some fantastic fairy tales.
The little girl listened attentively.
After listening, you still want to listen again. Jiang Zhiluo continued to speak patiently.
After coaxing Qiao Mengmeng to sleep, Jiang Zhiluo armed herself fully and then quietly used her wood-based abilities to go out.
Go to Pei's house in the middle of the night
During the day, Jiang Zhiluo figured out the location of the Pei family.
When Jiang Zhiluo was walking towards Pei's house, a gust of wind suddenly blew halfway.
A man in black and a cloak floated past her.
Jiang Zhiluo's heart trembled and she became alert instinctively.
At this moment, a dart was shot out.
Jiang Zhiluo watched the dart land on the stone wall next to her, with a piece of paper stuck on it.
Jiang Zhiluo felt as if it was for her.
She looked at the man in the black cloak. This was the same man she saw during the day.
He was standing on the eaves not far away at this time, his clothes fluttering in the wind, looking very mysterious.
He was looking in this direction.
Jiang Zhiluo did not sense any murderous intent from him.
She reached out and took the note from the stone wall next to her.
