Chapter 2042

Xia Yuanqiu said without hesitation: "is it possible that the spies have collectively defected?"

Zhu Yan shook his head: "it's impossible. The spies sent to the North underworld are all in Kyoto. They don't waste their family's lives and commit treason. What's more, there is no connection between the spies and the spies. They don't know each other's identity at all. How can they rebel together?"

Xia Yuanqiu said again: "there is another possibility that there are spies on our side, and some people are treacherous with the northern underworld."

Zhu Yan nodded: "my brother and I all have this kind of doubt, but at present this matter has no clue."

Xia Yuanqiu asked again, "how many people know about the situation of Beiming spies?"

"Not much. There are only a few people except me and my brother, but none of them can be collaborators and traitors."

"Tell me, who are they?"

Zhu Yan took a pen and paper from his desk and wrote down the names of these people one by one.

There are several people whose names are familiar to Xia Yuanqiu. These people are unlikely to betray the country. Only one person whose name is unfamiliar is Rongwang of Luobei.

"Is this Rongwang of Luobei the father of the new queen, Princess Qiao Xin?"

Zhu Yan shook his head: "it's her grandfather, her father Xiao Rongwang, who hasn't officially taken over Luobei Rongwang mansion."

"Then how does this old Rong Wang behave on a normal day?"

Zhu Yan shook his head again: "although he is the Lord, he is a foreign surname. He was granted the hereditary King's name because of his meritorious service in guarding Luobei. He seldom came to Beijing. My brother and I don't know much about him. In recent years, he often complained of illness and didn't even attend the annual tribute. He just sent some servants to send some tribute."

Xia Yuanqiu then said, "but because the actual control of Luobei is in his hands, Zhu Sheng has to reluctantly marry his granddaughter when he says he wants to get married?"

Zhu Yan nodded: "yes, this time, the emperor's brother married Rong Qiaoxin. It was precisely because of the request of the old king Rong that he had to marry Rong Qiaoxin in order to consolidate the stability of Luobei."

Zhu Yan added: "it is said that the old king of Rong loves the little granddaughter of Rong Qiaoxin very much. He should not gamble on the life of the little granddaughter. This rebellion may have nothing to do with him."

Xia Yuanqiu shook his head: "not necessarily, in the political struggle, nothing can not be sacrificed, let alone just a granddaughter, even the only daughter, may become the victim of political struggle."

"With 300000 troops in his hand, Lao Rong Wang can be a king in Luobei. How can he bear to be subordinate to others forever? There is no impossibility for him to stand on his own feet as king or attack the Lord if he has the right opportunity. "

Zhu Yan frowned and said: "if this is the case, things will be more complicated. Half of the spies in Beiming are sent to Beiming by the old king Rong. Even his brother doesn't know the actual situation of these spies. So, the old king Rong is really suspicious."

Xia Yuanqiu suddenly feels sad for Rong Qiaoxin. Her life of Rong Chong has cultivated her arrogance and arrogance. But how can she think of the conspiracy interests hidden behind those Rong Chong.

Suddenly she thought of something and said, "the Ningxiang pill given by the emperor the day before yesterday is a tribute from the kingdom of the North underworld?"

Zhu Yan's eyelid is also a jump, busy way: "yes, suspect is the northern underworld tribute, you used it?"

Xia Yuanqiu shook his head: "it's no use, Xing Fang put that thing into the make-up box, I'll look for it!" If it's something that the northern underworld paid tribute to, there must be a problem.
