As the night gradually became deeper, the gate of the metropolitan city was closed, and the whole metropolitan city was very quiet, and the backyards of many shops were on. This was the person who lived in the shop to watch the shop at night. A black shadow nimbled up to the high wall with a quiz and quickly flipped in.

The backyard of Wanchun Tea House in the urban wine shop is also on. This is the only shop selling tea in the city. Tea is already a daily drink for ordinary people in the south, but it is not popular in the north, and it is only enjoyed by a few wealthy families. Therefore, there are few shops selling tea in the capital, and there are only three larger shops in the entire capital. In addition to this Wanchun Tea House in the metropolitan city, there are also two in Liren City. [..com]

Although Wanchun Tea House is not very good business, it occupies a large area, covering an area of ​​four acres, which is twice as big as ordinary shops. Wanchun Tea House is divided into front hall and back yard, with hundreds of rooms, with many courtyards and a very complex structure.

In a small courtyard in the middle, there were also bright lights. Several people sat in a living room in the middle. In the middle, there was a female lay Buddhist with hair practicing. She was about forty years old, but her hair was gray and she was wearing a white-washed monk robe. From her eyebrows, you can also see her beauty and dignity when she was young. Her surname was Shen, her secular name was Shen Wuhua, and she was born in the Shen family in Wuxing, Jiangnan. She was the queen of Chen Houzhu 16 years ago.

The imperial concubine Zhang Lihua was favored, which made her live in the deep palace in a cold and silent state. When the prince Chen Yin was deposed and the queen Chen regained the eldest son Chen Shen, who was born by Zhang Lihua, as the prince, Shen Wuhua became desperate and focused on Buddhism in the palace. Soon, the Sui army destroyed Chen and the Sui army attacked the palace. Shen Wuhua was rescued from the palace by her confidant Hualien in a chaos. They fled to Hengshan and used Hengshan Palace to establish Nanhua Palace, claiming to be Nanhua lay Buddhists. They adopted 300 homeless orphans of the Southern Dynasty and lived in Hengshan for sixteen years.

Yesterday morning, she brought her granddaughter to Beijing. This time she went to Beijing. She heard that her former husband, Chen Shubao, had arrived in the capital for the last time she met her old friend when she was dying.

This Wanchun Tea House was opened by an adopted son she adopted. The adopted son was named Yuan and was the son of the former crown prince Zhan Zheng Yuan Xian. His name was Yuan Sizu. At this time, Yuan Sizu was sitting in the lower house. He was about 25 or 26 years old, with dark skin. He had a medium figure and a pair of eyes that looked particularly smart and capable. This tea house was his asset.

Sitting opposite him was a man of more than 30 who looked not in good health, with a pale face and a sick look. However, he was in good spirits tonight. The man was named Cheng Nan, but Cheng Nan was just a pseudonym. His real identity was Chen Yin, the former crown prince of the Chen Dynasty. After the destruction of the Chen Dynasty, he was escorted to the capital as a prisoner of war and lived in the capital for more than ten years.

In the first few years, officials of the Sui Dynasty monitored him very well. His every move was monitored by others, but as time went by, people gradually forgot about the Chen Dynasty and their surveillance of Chen Yin became increasingly relaxed. In the 17th year of Kaihuang, he had become an ordinary civilian and no one paid attention to him anymore.

Now it is the fourth year of Renshou. In the official archives, he should have died of illness in the 20th year of Kaihuang. In fact, he did not die, but instead acted in Jiangnan and the capital area under the pseudonym Cheng Nan.

Chen Yin has always been obsessed with his hometown. In the 12th year of Kaihuang, he founded a school called Nanhua Academy. It has the same name as Nanhua Palace founded by his mother Shen Wuhua, and specializes in teaching the etiquette of Han people in the Southern Dynasty.

He used the protection of exchange etiquette to contact many old ministers of the Chen Dynasty and wealthy families. Gradually, they had a common goal. In the 17th year of Kaihuang, when he was lifted from surveillance, they officially established the South China Association, which means the Southern Chinese Association. It took the restoration of the Chen Dynasty as its mission. Chen Yin became the leader. After several years of development, their power has gradually expanded, mainly using business as a cover. They have their power in Hangzhou, Huzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, Luoyang and Beijing. This Wanchun Tea House is actually their stronghold in the capital.

At that time, Chen Wuhua adopted 300 homeless orphans of the Southern Dynasty. As these orphans gradually grew up, most of them became backbone members of the Nanhua Association. In this way, Chen Wuhua became an important figure in the Nanhua Association. In addition, Chen Wuhua was the former empress of the Chen Dynasty. She was kind and kind, and frugal, and was very respected by the scholars and people of the Southern Dynasty. Although Chen Wuhua herself did not join the Nanhua Association, she became the spiritual leader of the Nanhua Association.

Chen Wuhua knew about the Nanhua Association, and she neither supported it, but she also opposed it. However, she highly praised the Nanhua Association for the good deeds such as supporting the orphans and widows, saving children, opening pharmacies to save the world and the people, and she acknowledged that Nanhua regarded her as a spiritual leader within her.

"Mother, do you still know this old gentleman?"

Chen Yin was introducing Chen Wuhua to an old man who was about fifty years old and had a elegant appearance. Chen Wuhua looked at him for a while and suddenly said, "Are you Wang Jun, the son of Wang Sengbian?"

Wang Jun knelt down on the ground, bursting into tears, "Empress, the old minister is Wang Jun!"

Wang Xu was Yang Liang's counselor. After Yang Liang surrendered, he took his son to escape from Taiyuan City and was betrayed by his acquaintances. His son was killed and pursued him everywhere. In desperation, he killed a woodcutter, changed his clothes, smashed the woodcutter's face and fled. The pursuers mistakenly thought he was dead, so they cut off the woodcutter's head and sent it to the capital to ask for credit.

Wang Xu has changed his name to Wang Mo and hid in Chen Yin's mansion. After Chen Yin told Chen Wuhua about his experience, Chen Wuhua sighed softly and said, "Since Wang Xu is dead, then you will call him Wang Mo from now on. I don't want you to die a second time."

Wang Mo nodded. He and Xiao Mohe were also core members of the South China Association. Their plan to use Yang Liang's troops to liberation the Chen Dynasty failed. Xiao Mohe was killed. Wang Mo could no longer publicly face him, so he could only become Chen Yin's military advisor and give him advice.

Chen Wuhua frowned, "Why don't you come back after you're out of here!"

"Grandma, I'm back long ago!"

As soon as Chen Wuhua finished speaking, a sweet voice from his granddaughter came from outside the door. Then, a slim girl with a hibiscus and a lotus appeared at the door. This was Niu Niu who had bought something. In fact, she had already come back an hour ago and hid in the room. She looked at the jewelry that Yang Yuanqing bought for her, and tried on new dresses one by one, and put on jewelry. Everything made her happy. She wanted to show her grandma.

When Chen Yin and others saw Zhang Chuchen come in, they knew that their grandparents and grandchildren had something to say, so they gave a look at everyone. Everyone quickly got up and retreated.

Chen Wuhua is the little aunt of Niu Niu Niu's mother Chen Qiuniu. Shortly after Chen Qiuniu took Niu Niu back to Jiangnan, Niu Niu went to Hengshan and became a disciple of Chen Wuhua's personal shimi Hualien lay Buddhist. Chen Wuhua herself did not know martial arts, but her personal shimi Hualien was extremely skilled in martial arts. She rescued Chen Wuhua from the palace in the chaos, and Chen Wuhua recognized her as her sister. The two lived in Nanhua Palace together. Hualien called herself Hualien lay Buddhists. Four years ago, she accepted Niu Niu as her closed disciple and taught her a strong martial arts.

The lay Buddhist Hualien herself is not from the Nanhua Society, but all the twelve disciples she received are members of the Nanhua Society. Also included Niu Niu, Niu Niu's father was a general of the Chen Dynasty and was killed by Shi Wansui. When she learned that almost all the members of the Nanhua Society were descendants of the Chen Dynasty like her, in order to revive the Chen Dynasty of the hometown, she joined the Nanhua Society without hesitation a year ago. This was also the last words left to her by her father: "The daughter is also a woman. Repeat the old mountains and rivers."

Chen Wuhua did not agree with Niu Niu's participation in the South China Association. Chen Wuhua's parents have passed away, and several brothers and sisters also died in the war, leaving Chen Qiuniang with the only niece and Niu Niu with her daughter, so she also loves Niu Niu very much. She hopes that Niu Niu can marry a good family and spend her life safely.

She pulled Niu Niu Niu down. Seeing that she was holding a piece of white fox fur in her hand, she smiled and said, "Where did this come from?"

Niu Niu surrounded the white fox fur and smiled and said, "Didn't I tell my grandma? I have a brother Yuanqing. I saw him today. This is what he respects you, grandma aunt, is it warm?"

Chen Wuhua was born into a queen. She also had this precious fur when she was young. More importantly, she practiced Buddhism for many years and looked down on such external things. However, Niu Niu's filial piety made her very happy. She smiled and said, "If I guess correctly, this should be his filial piety to your mother. Didn't he always be on the front line? How could he know me?"

"No! This is what he gave to his grandma. The gift he gave to his grandma was a pair of jade bracelets. Grandma, do you want to meet him?"

Chen Wuhua knew her granddaughter's thoughts well. She caressed Mo Niu Niu's hair lovingly and nodded, "I really want to see him."

The grandparents and grandsons whispered in the inner room. At this time, a man wearing a black samurai robe walked into the room quickly. He was Niu Niu's senior brother Zhang Zhongjian.

Zhang Zhongjian is 25 years old this year, ten years older than Niu Niu. In addition to Hualien, his master was appointed as a master of Kunlun slave with a strong martial arts skills seven years ago and traveled around the world. When he returned to Nanhua Palace at the beginning of this year, his martial arts skills were amazed by everyone.

Zhang Zhongjian liked his junior sister very much. Although Niu Niu is still his distant girl, this did not hinder his love for Niu Niu. Niu Niu just entered the capital yesterday. Today he wanted to take Niu Niu to buy something, but Niu Niu went to the Yang Mansion and met Yang Yuanqing again, which made him quite depressed.

He looked at Niu Niu in the room deeply and found that she had changed into a new bright dress, feeling a little sad.

"How is the situation of King Jin?" Chen Yin asked him impatiently.

Not only Chen Yin, but the others all looked nervous at the same time. Zhang Zhongjian shook his head and said regretfully: "The King of Jin is safe and sound, we did not shoot him."

Chen Yin sat down in disappointment. He could have succeeded last night, but there was a master in the Jin King's car who rescued him in time. He sighed and said to Wang Mo: "I guess it would be difficult to kill him again if I failed this assassination."

Wang Mo looked solemn. Wang Mo's strategy was Wang Mo's strategy to prevent King Jin from entering the Eastern Palace and to make King Qi the crown prince. King Qi Yang, Huang, looked shrewd, but in fact he was stupid. If Yang Ming ascended the throne and became emperor in the future, the world would inevitably be in chaos, and then the opportunity for Nanhua to rebuild the Chen Dynasty could come.

The world has been divided for hundreds of years, and the dynasties have changed like a lantern. Hundreds of years have made the world people form a fixed mindset. The Sui Dynasty was only a brief unification, and soon it will split again, and there will be changes in dozens of dynasties in the north and south.

The same goes for Chen Yin and others. The hundreds of years of division between the north and the south gave them a deep gap and hatred with the people of the Northern Dynasties. The Hou Jing Rebellion that occurred decades ago was the beast-like Hu people of the Northern Dynasties who almost killed the men in Jiankang City, ate all the women, and all the gentry were slaughtered.

The Hou Jing Rebellion only lasted fifty years. The hatred and fear of the Southern Dynasties against the Hu people in the Northern Dynasties has been engraved into their bones. The Southern Dynasties also looked down on the Han people in the Northern Dynasties. The Hus and Han people in the Northern Dynasties have been mixed for hundreds of years, and their blood has long been no longer pure. They have always believed that the Han people with truly pure blood are in the south, that is, the Chinese people in the south.

This is why they wanted to name the Southern Chinese Association, the Southern Chinese Association.

Wang Mo pondered for a moment, then asked: "Who was the master who saved King Jin last night?"

"He moves too fast and cannot see clearly in the darkness of his appearance."

Zhang Zhongjian thought for a while and said, "I heard that the King of Jin has a close relationship with a frontier officer named Yang Yuanqing recently. This person is also Yang Su's grandson, so it is probably him."

After saying that, he quickly glanced at Niu Niu in the room.

"Yang Su's grandson, is it because Yang Su has supported King Jin?" Chen Yin asked with a frown.

"It should have nothing to do with Yang Su."

Zhang Zhongjian is the chief entourage of King Yang Hing of Qi. He knows the inside story more clearly. "Yang Su's legitimate grandson Yang Rong is still working for King Qi. It can also be explained that Yang Su supports King Qi. In fact, the affairs of his grandchildren have nothing to do with Yang Su. He is now in Luoyang and does not care about Jin and Qi's dispute."

"I know a little bit about this Yang Yuanqing."

Wang Mo next to him said: "When Yang Liang raised his army, he also participated in the war against Yang Liang and made great contributions in Youzhou and Daizhou. This man had a strange plan and was good at fighting, so the King of Jin won him over, but this man was not worth worrying, so don't take it too seriously."

Chen Yin walked a few steps behind his back, and he asked Wang Mo again: "In the opinion of sir, what should we do now?"

"Don't do anything now. Although the assassination did not make a big deal, it does not mean that they did not investigate. At this time, we cannot lose the big deal because of the small, and we cannot let the court discover our existence. Therefore, we should stop all activities."

Chen Yin pointed, "Then according to the words of Mr.."

He said to Zhang Zhongjian again: "You should go back to the Qi Palace quickly and continue to investigate the information from the Qi King. Be more diligent these days, so that he can trust you and treat you as his confidant."

"Yes! I understand."

Zhang Zhongjian bowed and slowly retreated. When he retreated to the door, he looked at the inner room deeply again, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

The room was empty, and Niu Niu and Shen Wuhua had already left.
