Huo Linglong sat in a different direction and continued Hua Mingqiao's words.
"Unless something unexpected happens, Prince Qinghe will definitely start a rebellion this year. The Northern Border Army is Prince Qinghe's greatest reliance. Mingqiao and I have come to you, Brother Tang, to help you seize control of the Northern Border Army and cut off Prince Qinghe's support. The fight between Your Majesty and Prince Qinghe has nothing to do with us, and we will not get involved in these disputes. We only want to clear the name of the Huo family and our brothers. We cannot let those brothers who died in vain bear the burden of false accusations in their afterlife."
"Brother Tang, we have endured humiliation and lived in seclusion for the past ten years, hoping to avenge our grievances and clear the names of our brothers. Apart from this, nothing else can keep us alive."
"Brother Tang, Linglong and I will do whatever you want," Hua Mingqiao said. "We don't know exactly when Prince Qinghe will start his rebellion, but we must take control of the Northern Border Army before he does."
General Tang said, "I know exactly how to handle this matter. You will follow my instructions. I will be delivering medicinal herbs to Beiling in a few days. I will send you a message in advance when I take action."
Huo Linglong and Hua Mingqiao nodded.
The few of them talked for a while. Before leaving, General Tang asked Huo Linglong what their plans were after the Huo family and the soldiers were vindicated, and whether they would return to Beiling.
Hearing this, Huo Linglong's brows drooped. She said, "We will never return to Beiling. The pain Beiling has left us is too heavy."
What she said was what she and Hua Mingqiao really thought. The bloody pain that the North left them was already deeply engraved in their hearts. They never wanted to set foot in the North again in their lives and revisit those cruel memories over and over again.
Especially Huo Linglong, she grew up in the Northern Territory since she was a child, and her feelings for the Northern Territory are deeper than anyone else.
However, the Song Dynasty had let down the Huo family and tens of thousands of Northern Border Army soldiers, and she was unwilling to serve this court anymore.
After clearing the stigma for the Huo family and their comrades, she and Hua Mingqiao will return to Su Nian, raise Yue Zheng well, and live the life of ordinary people.
Huo Linglong, Hua Mingqiao and General Tang left Kongqing Pavilion one after another.
A few days later, General Tang escorted the medicinal materials to Beiling.
Zhangji Mutton Shop is still doing a booming business, especially the newly launched medicinal mutton dishes are very popular among customers.
…
Beijing.
"Young Master, something bad has happened!" Nanxing hurried into Guanju Pavilion, his voice so loud that it was deafening.
"Something big has happened!"
At this time, Hua Fushu was having a meal. When he heard Nanxing's words, he was about to scold him for making a fuss in the middle of the day and disturbing other people's meals, but he accidentally choked and swallowed the red date and bird's nest cake whole.
“Ahem…”
Nan Xing was about to tell him something important when she heard her young master coughing. Thinking he was feeling unwell, she asked, "Young master, have you caught a cold?"
Although Hua Fushu succeeded as the leader of Mei Sect, he only informed the internal members of Mei Sect and no succession ceremony was held yet. Nanxing still called Hua Fushu "Young Master" on weekdays.
Hua Fushu couldn't help but give Nanxing a disdainful look. How could she have a cold? It was obviously because of his noise that she got so angry that the red date and bird's nest cake choked her throat?
"Can you roll your eyes? There must be nothing wrong!" Nanxing pulled out a round stool and sat on it.
Hua Fushu was speechless by Nanxing's action. How could he see that she was fine?
She was choked and felt very uncomfortable, okay?
Forget it, she was too lazy to bother with Nanxing. This guy was out of his mind.
Silly and cute, sometimes just a fool.
Hua Fushu's tone was slightly unhappy, "Hurry up and tell me."
Nan Xing, the fool, couldn't hear the displeasure in his young master's tone at all. He quickly told Hua Fushu the news he had just heard, "Young Master, we just got the news that the leader of the Mei Sect is the leader of the Mei Sect and the descendant of the Mei family. The news has spread in the capital. Those people say that the leader founded the Mei Sect to plot against the Song Dynasty, and that you and the King of Qin are accomplices of the leader's plot, and that he has even dragged the General's Mansion into it. Now the news is spreading like wildfire in the streets and alleys, and everyone is talking about it."
Hua Fushu's eyelids suddenly rose, his eyes filled with surprise, "How could it be? Tell me more."
Although Nanxing is sometimes a little silly, he is very eloquent. He can talk about everything in detail, with just the right actions and expressions, just like an actor on stage. When he talks about touching things, he feels as if he is there in person, filled with righteous indignation.
"Young Master, you didn't hear those people's exaggerated words. They said our leader wanted to conquer the world and overthrow the Song Dynasty as a woman."
"They also said that the King of Qin married the Princess of Qin to win over the Shangshu Ling faction, and that you, Young Master, married Mr. Ye to help the Sect Master make friends with the Ye family and plot against them."
"What the hell, what nonsense! Our leader doesn't even want to be the city lord of Lanling, so why would he want to conquer the world? He's just bored!"
"You have no idea, I was furious when I heard that. What kind of person is that?"
Nanxing jumped up from the round stool, baring his teeth and claws as if he was going to eat someone.
Hua Fushu was also furious. In her heart, her master was a god-like figure, and she would not tolerate anyone else deliberately slandering him.
It’s okay to slander her, but it’s absolutely not okay to slander her master!
She immediately had an urge to rush out to the street and tear those foul-mouthed people's mouths apart.
But she was still very rational and would not be easily overwhelmed by reckless impulses. She quickly calmed down her anger and finished her meal normally.
"Nanxing, let's go take a look." Hua Fushu's voice was very normal. "I want to hear what those people have to say."
"I'll go prepare the carriage." Nanxing was very active and disappeared in a flash.
Hua Fushu asked Sanqiao to find Side, and Side quickly arrived at Guanju Pavilion. On the way there, Sanqiao briefly explained the matter to Side.
"Madam, please tell me what you want Si De to do," said Si De.
"Not many people know that my master is a descendant of the Mei family and the leader of the Mei Sect. Suddenly, this information became known to everyone, and it even involved the General's Mansion and the Prince of Qin's Mansion. You should check where these rumors came from and who spread them." Hua Fushu said.
Since not many people knew that Master was a descendant of the Mei family and the Mei clan, this matter suddenly spread in the capital, and it happened just when Master was still in the capital.
The rumors only mentioned Master's background, which was not a big deal. However, these rumors also pointed to the General's Mansion and the Prince of Qin's Mansion, which made the matter very serious.
Who spread the rumors, who is slandering the master, who is defaming the General's Mansion and the Prince of Qin's Mansion, we must get to the bottom of it.
"Si De will definitely find out everything."
Si De's eyes were determined. This was the first important task his wife had assigned him. This task was very important, and he would definitely do his best to complete it.
Si De left Guanju Pavilion and immediately started to deal with this matter without even informing Ye Zelin.
