Chapter 199 Fear is born from the heart, and the stone presses the heart
Leng Xuanrong told Zeng Yanliang what he thought, but neither of them thought who could do such a thing. After all, he didn't come up with any clue, so Zeng Yanliang then told Leng Xuanrong what happened later. However, Zeng Yanliang did not tell the truth about this incident. He was afraid that Leng Xuanrong would feel afraid after hearing it.
"At that time, I didn't know where I was at all, and I couldn't find that cottage. So I went back to the mountain hunter's life for the time being. I walk around during the day, hunt, and find a place to hide at night. That day, I happened to hide in the tree and fell asleep, and I heard the cry of the wolf. As a result, it happened that Little Nineteen and they chased the wolf, and we met.
Zeng Yanliang didn't mention the place of life and death, but Leng Xuanrong didn't feel anything wrong when he listened. After all, she has seen Zeng Yanliang live freely in the mountains before.
Leng Xuanrong sighed and said, "Who would have thought that there would be such an adventure in the mountains. If you hadn't passed by the Qilin Camp, Brother Yan Liang would probably still be in the mountains. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to find you..."
The two looked at each other and felt that there was only one step away, and they would not see each other again.
Zeng Yanliang treated the wound for Leng Xuanrong, got up and took the oil lamps to the square table next to him, and then said to Leng Xuanrong, "Let's take a rest tonight. Tomorrow we can go down the mountain to meet the Qingmo Pavilion. After saying this, Zeng Yanliang turned around and was about to leave.
But when Leng Xuanrong saw Zeng Yanliang's back, her heart suddenly fell empty. She hurriedly shouted, "Brother Yan Liang, wait..."
Zeng Yanliang looked back at Leng Xuanrong with a basin. Seeing her tearful appearance, he put down all the things in his hand and returned to Leng Xuanrong's side to sit down.
Leng Xuanrong took Zeng Yanliang's arm, gently leaned her head on his shoulder, and whispered, "Stay with me for a while."
Zeng Yanliang raised his hand and patted her on the top of her head without saying anything.
What happened during this period made Leng Xuanrong feel depleasured. She was very worried when Brother Yan Liang was not around. When Brother Yan Liang came back, Leng Xuanrong's heart was even more uncomfortable. Thinking that there is one in Wanli, Brother Yan Liang may not be able to come back, and she trembled with fear. Now that the matter is not over, it is possible for such a situation to happen again. This time it was a big coincidence, which can be regarded as the fate of the two of them, but what about next time? Can you be so lucky next time?
Just now, Zeng Yanliang said that he would go down the mountain and return to the Raven Green Ink Pavilion tomorrow, and the stone in Leng Xuanrong's heart was heavier. On this day, Leng Xuanrong saw An Pingzhi's ugly face more than once. Previously, he would rather be in danger than negotiate with the mountain thieves just because things did not follow his expectations. Now this situation must be far beyond An Pingzhi's expectation. Thinking of this, he is probably already angry. Now that Chaoyang Village is occupied by Qilin Camp, An Pingzhi has nothing to do, but when he returns to Wuming County, will he easily let Leng Xuanrong go? What did they say in that cabin?
At that time, Leng Xuanrong was just a stopgap measure to save his life. After returning to Wuming County, if An Pingzhi had any means to let Meng Zhuangqing pass on to Du Yilin, the king of Xiaohan, Leng Xuanrong's situation was worrying. What's more, now that the matter in Chaoyang Village has been involved in the Qilin Camp, and Leng Xuanrong does not think that this matter can be hidden from the ears of King Xiaohan. And the "secret" that caused the whole Chaoyang Village to fall into the disaster of murder. If Du Yilin doesn't take this opportunity to know about it, I'm afraid it will be more difficult to do in the future.
Everything seems to be burning together, and Leng Xuanrong can hardly draw a clue from it.
"Bear by the way, Brother Yan Liang, do you know why the Kirin Camp came here?" Leng Xuanrong suddenly thought of this key issue. Qilin Camp will not act easily. There must be some important reason for their abnormal movements.
Zeng Yanliang shook his head with a bitter smile and told Leng Xuanrong that those people in the Kirin Camp kept their mouths shut and didn't say much, let alone tell him the purpose of their action. However, Zeng Yanliang did not hide those things in the mountains at all. He told Leng Xuanrong once, including how they met Qi Zongyan and what happened to those who escaped from Chaoyang Village.
"Dead? Are they all dead?" Leng Xuanrong's eyes widened, a little unbelievable.
Zeng Yanliang nodded and said, "General Gu's order is to kill all the people in armor, so Kirin Camp sent some people to find their whereabouts first. I have been following Xiaojiu and others. When I got the news, I only heard them say that those people killed hundreds of people in the mountains, and then they were chasing the other one. Group of people. By the time we found them, those people had already had been with Qi Zongyan.
People wearing armor...
As soon as Leng Xuanrong heard this description, she knew the origin of those people.
"Brother Yan Liang, do the armor-piercing people you see look trained, just like ordinary soldiers?" Leng Xuanrong asked with a frown.
Zeng Yanliang nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed casually, and told Leng Xuanrong in a low voice, "When General Gu and they entered the cottage, those people were blocked at the cottage gate. General Gu took the Kirin camp all the way up and captured a lot. Later, it seemed that all of them were killed, and none of them were left alive.
When Leng Xuanrong heard this, his face was even worse.
Zeng Yanliang was a little strange and asked, "Xuanrong, do you know who those people are?"
Leng Xuanrong nodded a little. She turned her head and saw that Zeng Yanliang seemed to be waiting for an answer, so she had to come to his ear and whisper to him in a low voice, "Those in armor are the army secretly trained by Prime Minister An's family in the most secret place in the deep mountains of Fengquan Mountain."
Zeng Yanliang was stunned when he heard the words.
No matter how powerful the prime minister is, he can't train any army by himself... Isn't that...
At the great risk of the world!
Intent to rebel!
These two words instantly appeared in Zeng Yanliang's mind, and his mouth widened and his eyes widened.
Unexpectedly, it is in line with what Xiao 19 told him at the beginning. So, it's really what Leng Xuanrong said. Are those people all private soldiers of the family?
Leng Xuanrong saw Zeng Yanliang's frightened appearance and then explained it to him.
An Longyi, the first assistant prime minister, had a desire to rebel a few years ago. At that time, his power was not strong now, so in order to stabilize his side and to leave a way for himself, he tried to secretly raise a private army in this deep mountain. No one knows how many people there are and how strong this private army is. In fact, even He Lijing, the county magistrate of Wuming County, did not know the existence of this private army.
"The people in Chaoyang Village found the whereabouts of those private troops in the deep mountains by mistake and gradually found out their true details, so they provoked such a big murder." Leng Xuanrong lowered his head and whispered, "The private army of An's family must have known that they have noticed this matter, so An Pingzhi will take action."
It was not until this time that Leng Xuanrong figured it out. Anping's coming to Wuming County is likely not only for his marriage with He Ruiping. If this matter is not used as an excuse, their family's actions in Wuming County must have been in the hands of He Lijing, and the private army could not be known by He Lijing, so An Pingzhi came to inquire about the marriage in person after two years. Everything is just an excuse. An Pingzhi's real purpose should be for the private army.
In this way, it is no wonder that Leng Xuanrong did all kinds of things before, and An Pingzhi was happy to accompany her. If there were no things caused by Leng Xuanrong, then An Pingzhi's life in Wuming County would have been too calm and boring. And if the affairs of the private army have not been completed, it is impossible for him to leave. In addition, He Ruiping is really not in line with An Ping's intention. In order not to make his actions appear abrupt, An Pingzhi was using Leng Xuanrong from the beginning!
While dealing with Leng Xuanrong and He Ruiping, he must be sending people to secretly investigate the affairs of the private army. Zeng Yanliang found that the abnormal movements of his martial artists must be related to these things.
What happened later can be said to be a coincidence. Zeng Yanliang and Leng Xuanrong were involved in this incident, which was unexpected by An Pingzhi. But An Pingzhi must have sent someone to inform the private army to come to solve the big trouble of Chaoyangzhai. He must have arranged it properly in Wuming County, otherwise, according to He Lijing's treacherous personality, how could he do so without any action!
"Oh no..."
Leng Xuanrong's forehead oozed sweat. She clenched Zeng Yanliang's arm and whispered to herself, "Those private troops killed Long Hanqing, and then the private troops were killed by the Kirin Camp. He will not give up. He can't move the Qilin Camp, but it's related to the Kirin Camp..." Speaking of this, Leng Xuanrong looked up at Zeng Yanliang, and his eyes were full of panic, "Brother Yanliang, we are completely involved in this matter now... I'm afraid that An Pingzhi can't let us live any more..."
Zeng Yanliang felt Leng Xuanrong's deep fear, and he also found the seriousness of the matter. The people of Chaoyangzhai knew the existence of those private army. An Pingzhi did not hesitate to kill hundreds of them to hide this secret. Now Leng Xuanrong and Zeng Yanliang also know the existence of the private army. How could An Pingzhi let them go?
All the efforts made by Leng Xuanrong before have been in vain, and now it is useless for her to deny that she knows about the private army. The facts are in front of us, and this matter can't be concealed!
She guessed that the reason why Gu Zhiyi killed all the "people in armor" was either to give An Pingzhi a majesty, or he wanted to temporarily suppress this matter. The latter situation is more likely, because if the private army's affairs are now exposed, maybe the first assistant prime minister in the court will come up with another way to attack them, and may even raise the flag immediately to rebel.
Gu Zhiyi is a very smart person, and he will not be able to see the current big picture.
