"Yes." Jiu Ling hesitated for a moment, and looked at everyone present with great distrust, "It's just that I hope that everyone can keep it a secret for me." ”

"Of course." Qi Yuan casually agreed, "A gentleman's words are difficult to chase." ”

"Are you really the crown prince?" Jiu Ling still didn't believe it, and asked Qi Yuan tentatively.

Seeing Qi Yuan nodded, he then turned to look at Yin Qingqi, "That sister, you are the crown princess?" ”

Jiu Ling's eyes were full of light, and it could be seen that she was extremely yearning for life in the palace.

Yin Qingqi patted her little head and said with a smile, "That's right, why are you asking this?" ”

"That'...... If I help you find an antidote in the future, can you take me into the palace? I'll do anything! Jiuling's eyes were full of anticipation.

"Yes." Yin Qingqi opened her mouth and agreed, "In the future, we will be called sisters, if you really help me find the antidote, you will be my sister's life-saving benefactor, whatever you want, my sister will promise you." ”

"Really?" Jiu Ling was a little overjoyed, and hurriedly jumped on the ground a few times.

"Get to the point." Qi Yuan interjected with some dissatisfaction, at a young age, he actually talked to himself about the conditions, if it weren't for Yin Qingqi's relationship, I'm afraid Qi Yuan would have kicked him out of the house a long time ago.

"Ahem." Jiu Ling cleared her throat and talked about the origin of the Huo Meng clan from beginning to end.

"Our clan, originally surnamed Huo, made a living from dream control skills, but later because of a bad reputation, many people took our signboard to deceive, and they were gradually said to be an evil clan." The light in Jiuling's eyes gradually dimmed, and she could see that she had also been bullied a lot because of her family.

"Later, after the family was slaughtered in the village, the reputation was even worse, and some people spread rumors everywhere in Nanzhao, saying that we had harmed the daughter of a large family, so we were retaliated against and were wiped out, and the vast majority of people did not feel that we were pitiful, and even were slaughtered by outsiders."

"The government and the people will not come to the rescue, Nanzhao is such a place, your people stole our property from the capital, and in the end we were not alone."

Qi Yuan knew in his heart that Nanzhao was a vassal country, and naturally no one wanted to offend such a group of people who came from an unknown place, and they were still from the capital.

"The name of the Huo Meng clan

The sound gradually deteriorated, and those people who originally fled the village have gone incognito, if someone knows that your surname is Huo, I am afraid that you will be seen as a monster, and besides, no one will take you in. Jiu Ling shook her head helplessly.

"My parents are like this, they have no support in Nanzhao, so they can only go north to Yangzhou to find a way, because the family knows how to weave, and they also opened a cloth shop in Yangzhou, and every day they make clothes for some young ladies."

As she spoke, Jiu Ling stretched out her hand, and her palms were full of calluses, mixed with those chilblains.

"Look, I didn't lie to you, did I? Only people who have been working for a long time will have these calluses on their hands. ”

Yin Qingqi saw it in her eyes, and her heart ached, Jiu Ling's age was similar to herself, Yin Qingqi seemed to see herself who had just escaped from the mass grave, and her eyes were full of sadness.

"Since I arrived in Yangzhou, I have been worried every day, for fear that those people in the capital would seek revenge and find their homes." Jiu Ling gritted her teeth and endured her grief, and continued.

"But my mother's life was not good, and her life had just improved, and she died of illness, and my father supported the family alone, and I didn't expect to meet rebels."

Qi Yuan's eyes were cold, knowing that the rebels she was talking about were the team led by Dong Zhe.

"They burned, killed and looted, did all kinds of evil, and that Liang Chenshan, it is said that he is a new official, and it turned out to be Dong Zhe's group, the two of them should work together inside and outside, and soon beat Yangzhou down, if it weren't for the timely arrival of reinforcements from the capital, I'm afraid Yangzhou City has been captured." Jiu Ling's face was full of resentment.

"That General Xue could have found out Liang Chenshan's identity, but he ignored it and has been busy spending time drinking in Haichun Courtyard."

Xue Tan was also a little embarrassed, coughed dryly twice, and glanced at Qi Yuan.

"The person in front of you is General Xue." Qi Yuan suddenly spoke, which caught Xue Tan a little off guard.

"You're General Xue?" Jiu Ling's eyes changed from surprise to resentment, and he stared at Xue Tan viciously.

"Yes." Xue Tan was a little at a loss, he didn't find out Liang Chenshan's identity at the beginning, except for Yin Qingqi, almost all of the people present had a reason, but as the commander of the three armies, he really shouldn't make such a mistake.

"It was my dereliction of duty that caused Yangzhou City to become what it is now." Xue Tan is also true

Guilty, he lowered his head, and didn't dare to make eye contact with Jiu Ling again.

"Ugh." Jiu Ling sighed, the matter has come to this, there is no point in blaming anyone.

"Those people in the capital, although I was young when I was attacked, I remember that the old man at the head had a jade pendant hanging on his body."

"Jade pendant?" Xue Tan and Qi Yuan glanced at each other, and it was really the second master!

"How many of your clansmen are still in Nanzhao now? Or do you have people in other states and counties? Qi Yuan understood that Jiuling's words were true, and hurriedly asked.

"Most of the clansmen in the state and county have hidden their identities and rarely contact, after my father's death, I really don't know the whereabouts of any clan, my father has always had intermittent contact with them, but those letters have been burned, for fear of being discovered by the original group." Jiu Ling shook her head, it seemed that this hope was also dashed.

"We have to go to Nanzhao, maybe I can still inquire about some clues, you go by yourself, no one will reveal it to you, even if you have more money, it's useless." Jiu Ling understood that Qi Yuan's method was nothing more than buying news with silver taels, but this trick obviously didn't work in Nanzhao, and besides, what they investigated was the clansmen who were originally regarded as evil spirits.

"The people of the Huo Meng clan are already notorious in Nanzhao, except for me, I'm afraid you won't be able to find any guide." Jiu Ling sneered, and several people who were originally extremely distrustful of him came up hula-la, which also reminded Jiu Ling of those Nanzhao people who tried to have a sweet dream.

Before the Huo Meng clan had an accident, everyone hoped to buy sweet dreams from them in exchange for a good night's sleep, but since the rumors spread, no one seems to remember the beauty and fantasy of the past, and only one Huo family with bad deeds remains.

"Ridiculous." Jiu Ling smiled helplessly.

"Then I, can I find it too?" The voice of the sixth master suddenly remembered outside the door, and strode closer to the house, Jiu Ling stared at him coldly, and was suddenly stunned.

"You...... The brand on you? Jiu Ling hurriedly covered her head in a panic, screaming loudly, and even the teacup on the table fell to the ground.

"Why are you here? How will you find me, don't, don't kill me! ”

Jiu Ling's eyes were full of fear, and he stared directly at the jade pendant on the sixth master.
