Chapter 111 Si Cang's Secret Guards Bring the Situation in the Palace
"Then mother, we have to prepare for big brother." Li Youran was very happy when he heard Song Nanyao explain the imperial examination system. He felt that big brother could take part in the examination this year.
The Tongsheng examination is also called the Yuanshi examination.
The Tongsheng exam is the most basic first-level exam, usually hosted by the local county government. The exam content includes subjects such as classics, poetry and prose.
"Okay, wait for your father to come back and discuss it with him." Ye said, suppressing her excitement.
She had always hoped that her son would pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the family. She was naturally very happy to hear the news.
"Mom, is the house built?" Li Youran suddenly remembered that a new house was being built at home, so he asked.
Since she had to go to town every day recently, she was not very clear about the situation at home.
"It's time to put up the beams. After that, we'll invite all the villagers to dinner." Ye replied with a smile. She thought that putting up the beams was a happy event and the villagers should be invited to celebrate together.
"Mom, I have a lot of dishes in my space, which are just right for using when I invite the whole village to dinner." Li Youran said proudly.
She had planted a lot of vegetables in the space before, and these vegetables grew very fast, so she has harvested a lot now.
"We still have to go to town and buy some, and we have to cover it up." Ye knew her daughter's ability, but she felt that she couldn't let others find out that they had so many vegetables at home.
If I don't go out and buy some, it might arouse suspicion from the villagers.
Li Youran thought about it and felt that what her mother said made sense, so she nodded and agreed.
She understood that although she had a secret like space, she still had to be careful and not let others discover anything unusual.
What if someone dislikes her and spreads the news? Wouldn't that give her a handle?
"I'll go out for a while!" Song Nanyao suddenly said and quickly walked out of the yard.
Song Nanyao saw a signal suddenly flying into the sky. It was the secret guard Si Cang.
His subordinates are divided into guards and secret guards, and the two types of signals have different colors.
"Brother Nanyao, I'll go with you." Seeing Song Nanyao walking out in a hurry, Li Youran followed him out.
When Song Nanyao saw Xiao Youran following him, he slowed down and stood there waiting for her. Only after Xiao Youran walked to his side did he continue walking forward.
The two of them came to the foot of the back mountain. Few villagers came here, and there were mostly trees with lush branches and leaves rustling. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the branches and leaves, creating mottled light and shadows, and there was a quiet and mysterious atmosphere.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed by. Song Nanyao raised the corner of his mouth slightly and glanced at Li Youran beside him.
Si Cang jumped down from a tree. His movements were light and the sound was so quiet that it was difficult for ordinary people to notice his movements.
"Greetings, young master!" Si Cang knelt on one knee, lowered his head slightly and said respectfully.
"Get up!" Song Nanyao put away his smile, his face became serious, and his tone carried a hint of majesty.
Si Cang stood up and looked at the changes in Song Nanyao, feeling a little surprised.
Song Nanyao at this moment is completely different from the cold and indifferent young master before.
Si Cang felt a little uncomfortable. Could it be that what Yan Feng said was true?
"What's the matter?" Song Nanyao asked directly without any nonsense.
"A few days ago, a group of men in black tried to assassinate us again. Fortunately, the young master was not there." Si Cang was still frightened when he thought of this incident. Fortunately, the young master was not there, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.
"Do you know who did this?" Song Nanyao frowned, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"I don't know, but I suspect this group of people are in the same group as the ones who attacked us last time." Si Cang answered truthfully.
"According to some information I have heard, Yan Feng rushed the news of finding the young master to the palace over a distance of 800 miles. I'm afraid that the person in the palace saw that the young master was not dead, so he sent more people to assassinate him. Fortunately, Yan Feng did not bring the young master back, otherwise he would have been in great danger of death!" Si Cang roughly expressed his guess. This was the only possibility. The person in the palace was the one who wanted the young master to die the most.
"You really want to put me to death!" Song Nanyao sneered and a cold look flashed in his eyes.
He was only five years old, but these people were so cruel and ruthless that they didn't leave them any chance to survive!
"Young master, don't worry, we will definitely protect your safety. Now, you need to settle down in Lijia Village first and wait for the right time to make plans." Si Cang bowed and assured, his tone firm and resolute.
"Yes, I understand." Song Nanyao nodded, his young face full of calmness and composure.
"Recently, the people led by Commander Jiang have returned to Beijing, and the emperor's secret guard Yu Zheng is investigating the matter. I'm afraid there are some clues." Si Cang hesitated for a moment, but still told Song Nanyao the latest news.
Upon hearing this news, Song Nanyao frowned slightly: "Oh? Is there progress so soon? What did they find out?"
Si Cang shook his head: "It's still unclear at the moment, but what is certain is that they must have found some important clues. However, this matter involves Concubine Mu and the Mu family, so I'm afraid it won't be that easy to resolve."
Song Nanyao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Yes, the Mu family is a military family, and General Mu is a great general guarding the border. He has made great military achievements and is highly respected. Even if Concubine Mu really did something wrong, it would be difficult for my father to punish her severely for General Mu's sake..."
Si Cang nodded: "Young Master is right. The power of the Mu family in the court cannot be underestimated. If we deal with it rashly, it will probably cause turmoil in the court. Moreover, the forces behind Concubine Mu are complicated. It is not easy to thoroughly investigate this matter."
Song Nanyao sighed: "I hope Yu Zheng can find out the truth as soon as possible and let the mastermind get the punishment he deserves."
Song Nanyao knew that even if his father knew that it was Concubine Mu who sent the people, he would not impose any severe punishment.
Si Cang comforted him, "Don't worry, young master. Yu Zheng's ability is unquestionable. I believe he will find the answer soon. During this period, we must also be prepared to deal with various situations."
"Okay, I understand." Song Nanyao nodded to show that he understood.
Si Cang looked at the young but strong master in front of him, and couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.
Although he is only five years old, Song Nanyao displays calmness and wisdom far beyond the reach of his peers.
In such a difficult environment, he was still able to remain calm and respond positively, which made Si Cang feel extremely relieved.
However, they did not know that a bigger crisis was quietly approaching.
As the investigation deepens, more mysteries are revealed, and behind all this, there seems to be a shocking secret hidden...
Li Youran listened to the general situation and couldn't help but sigh: "This palace is really too complicated..." She suddenly thought of something and looked at Song Nanyao and asked: "Brother Nanyao, is your mother's family powerful?"
Song Nanyao nodded and answered seriously, "My mother's family, that is, my grandfather, is the prime minister, but he is only a civil servant, so my mother was well educated since she was a child, and was therefore chosen to be the queen of my father.
In fact, it was Concubine Mu who almost became the queen, but because Concubine Mu's family was a military general and she had a bad temper, she was not suitable to be the queen. "
Song Nanyao carefully explained everything to Li Youran bit by bit, without showing any impatience.
Li Youran opened her mouth in surprise and exclaimed: "Wow, so awesome!" She couldn't help but envy those dignitaries and nobles. After all, such a background seemed to allow them to walk around the palace without any problems.
But at the same time, she was also aware of the risks involved, because these people had to remain vigilant at all times and could lose their lives if they were not careful.
At this moment, a voice interrupted their conversation: "Young master, who is this?" The speaker was Si Cang, the leader of Song Nanyao's secret guards.
Si Cang looked at the cute little girl in front of him with curiosity, wondering in his heart that this was the first time he saw the young master being so gentle and patient.
You know, the young master always has a cold face, like a piece of ice, which makes people afraid to approach him.
I didn't expect that he would show this side of him to a little girl. It's really surprising.
"This girl is Li Youran, and she's my savior." Song Nanyao introduced her seriously, glancing at Li Youran's expression from time to time. The little girl was very happy, with a smile on her face.
