Chapter 298: Big brother’s news (first update)
Yun Luoxiao felt uncomfortable thinking about her former friend Sanlang Wei.
Thinking of her third brother, Jiang Zhiluo's eyes turned red. The third brother was so good.
“My third brother is sincere to others. When he returns home, he will often mention His Majesty the Grand Sun. When he mentions you, his eyes will shine. I think he may also really like to stay with you to study and study!”
Yun Luoxiao nodded and said, "He is also my best brother!"
He is regarded as the best brother by his grandson. If the third brother knew about it, he would be flattered.
In any case, this is His Highness Taisun, not someone with any other status.
“If my elder brother knew that Mengmeng was taken care of so well by you, he would definitely be very grateful and happy!”
Yun Luoxiao said: "It's a pity that when something happened to the Wei family, I couldn't arrange for people to find him at the border as soon as possible. If I could find him, maybe he can be fine now."
Yes, now Jiang Zhiluo also knows that her elder brother did not die on the battlefield.
But the eldest brother was seriously injured at that time, his appearance was completely disfigured, and even the enemy thought it was just a corpse.
After the war, a woman rescued her eldest brother and took him deep into the mountains.
The reason why there has been no news about the eldest brother is that he was seriously injured and has been unconscious.
That woman was the one who took care of my eldest brother in those years.
Later, the eldest brother woke up and had Qiao Mengmeng with the woman.
But they didn’t know what happened. They were hunted down and assassinated.
The woman arranged for Qiao Mengmeng to be sent to Yan State.
It just so happened that Yun Luoxiao's secret guards had been checking in there to find out the news, and by chance they rescued the man and Qiao Mengmeng.
After seeing the token, I learned some news.
Not long after Qiao Mengmeng was rescued, the person who escorted Qiao Mengmeng died of serious injuries.
Moreover, the whereabouts of the eldest brother and the woman are unknown.
I don’t know whether I am dead or alive.
Yun Luoxiao said: "I have been sending people to look for news about them, but there is no news."
“The person escorting Qiao Mengmeng is not weak, otherwise he would not have broken through the siege and fought his way out, so the woman’s identity may not be ordinary.”
Jiang Zhiluo was also very confused.
“Who on earth can assassinate the eldest brother and that woman!”
“If it’s not because of the elder brother’s identity, then it’s because of that woman’s identity.”
Jiang Zhiluo was thinking about this matter as she spoke.
Suddenly he seemed to think of something and said: "Mengmeng, do you still remember the memories from before you were one year old?"
Although normally she would not 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: "The cute voodoo bug was infested before it was one year old, and this is related to southern Xinjiang."
“Tell me, is that woman related to Southern Xinjiang?”
There are poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang. It could be a power struggle, and people from southern Xinjiang went to assassinate the woman.
If this is the guess, it makes sense.
Yun Luoxiao's expression changed when he heard this analysis, "Maybe it's possible!"
“In that case, I will arrange for people to go to southern Xinjiang to explore!”
“But I sent two groups of people to southern Xinjiang to look for Fragrant Purple Grass, but there was no news from those two groups. I’m worried that they might all die as soon as they enter southern Xinjiang!”
This is something that makes people feel serious.
Jiang Zhiluo was thoughtful. It seemed that the situation in southern Xinjiang was more complicated and dangerous than imagined.
But maybe this is also a clue.
Since there is news that the eldest brother is alive, Yun Luoxiao's secret guards are all the same, maybe they are really in southern Xinjiang.
Jiang Zhiluo felt a little excited when she thought that she could see her eldest brother and that he was still alive.
After the matter here is resolved, Jiang Zhiluo wants to go to southern Xinjiang and visit it in person.
Go there even if it’s dangerous.
Qiao Mengmeng is the eldest brother's daughter, so she must find the fragrant violet to save Mengmeng.
Furthermore, maybe we can find my eldest brother!
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiluo's expression was firm.
Of course Yun Luoxiao didn't know this. After the two people talked and had dinner, Jiang Zhiluo took Qiao Mengmeng to bed, while Yun Luoxiao had to go to the study to handle some things.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at Yun Luoxiao with sympathetic eyes.
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 blue marks under Yun Luoxiao's eyes when she was eating, and she looked like she hadn't had a good rest.
Mere persuasion is of no use.
Because he does have a lot to deal with.
If you want to manage the few states you conquered well, you have to be so busy.
In fact, he can let his subordinates handle it.
But just after conquering half of the country and the people were able to live and work in peace and contentment, Yun Luoxiao would rather work harder and want to personally review some things.
He was worried that some of his subordinates would work in secret and not do practical things for the people.
Similarly, although Yun Luoxiao has many trustworthy people, some of his subordinates defected to him halfway.
How can 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 as if she didn't want to sleep.
“Sleep well!”
Jiang Zhiluo was still thinking of putting Qiao Mengmeng to sleep so that she could go out.
When Jiang Zhiluo accompanied Qiao Mengmeng, she seemed to feel that 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 now likes to listen to Jiang Zhiluo telling stories the most.
The stories Jiang Zhiluo tells are all stories that do not exist in this era.
They are all modern children's stories.
But there are also some historical stories mixed in.
For example, hearing the chicken dance, chiseling the wall to steal the light, looking at the plum blossoms to quench thirst, etc.
She wanted Qiao Mengmeng to be enlightened while listening to stories.
The little girl looked at Jiang Zhiluo with soft and cute eyes, and her voice was as sweet as a coquettish one.
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't resist it at all, so she told Qiao Mengmeng what she wanted to hear.
“Today I’m going to tell the story of Snow White. In a distant kingdom, there was a beautiful Snow White…”
Of course, Jiang Zhiluo will also tell some dreamy fairy tales to the little girl.
The little girl listened attentively.
After listening, Jiang Zhiluo continued to listen patiently.
After putting Qiao Mengmeng to sleep, Jiang Zhiluo was fully armed, and then quietly used the wood power to go out.
Going to Cai’s house in the middle of the night
Jiang Zhiluo figured out the location of the Cai family during the day.
When Jiang Zhiluo was walking towards Cai's house, a gust of wind suddenly came up halfway.
A man in black wearing a cloak floated past her.
Jiang Zhiluo was frightened and instinctively became on guard.
At this moment, a dart was shot out.
Jiang Zhiluo watched as the dart landed on the stone wall next to her, with a piece of paper stuck on it.
Jiang Zhiluo somehow felt that this was for her.
She looked at the man in black cloak. This was the man she saw during the day.
He was standing on the eaves not far away, his clothes were moving automatically in the wind, and he was very mysterious.
He was looking in this direction.
Jiang Zhiluo didn't feel any murderous intention in him.
She reached out and took out the note from the stone wall next to her.
