Chapter 319 Joining forces with Jiuchen
If she couldn't get anything out of Lin Xiu, she would turn to the servants of the Kong family.
But she didn't expect that Lin Xiu was guarding her like a thief. Among so many people, no one knew where Kong Xingchen had gone.
Kong Xingyue just thought that Lin Xiu was afraid that she would really persuade Kong Ming to send her beloved youngest son to the eldest young master of the Liang family, so she secretly hid Kong Xingchen when no one was paying attention.
But Kong Yu had a different opinion. Kong Xingchen had instructed Qin Fei to attack him before, and the things seized from Qin Fei were definitely related to the Kong family. Now Kong Xingchen had disappeared secretly, and it was hard to guarantee that he was related to the person who provided Kong Xingchen with the energy dissipating agent.
The wedding of Kong Xingjue and Jiuyao was held as scheduled. Although Kong Yu did not go, Zhong Ling was invited and followed her brother Zhong Ye to attend the wedding.
Although Jiunan Town looked down on Kong Xingjue as a son-in-law, he would not be perfunctory about the marriage of Jiu's daughter, so the wedding was quite grand and could be called a grand wedding.
And because Jiuyao had once chased Huo Yan in the past, Kong Xingjue who suddenly appeared became Jiuyao's husband, which made the onlookers instantly curious about this person.
In the upper echelons of the Federation, there were many people who were puzzled by this wedding. They were all secretly observing what was so special about Lord Kong Xing that Colonel Jiuyao could choose him.
Zhong Ling ate while gossiping with Kong Yu.
Zhong Ling: "No matter how I look at it, I feel that this Kong Xingjue is just average. Although the two of them look quite good together, it still feels a bit weird."
Kong Yu: "What's strange about that?"
Zhong Ling: "I can't really put it into words, but Colonel Jiuyao has a polite smile on his face, and it doesn't look like he's interested at all."
Kong Yu didn't see it with his own eyes, but he intuitively felt that there must be some unknown story behind this marriage.
Lin Xiu never thought in her life that her son could marry the eldest daughter of the ninth family. She felt happy but also worried. After all, if her son married a daughter-in-law from a lower or even similar family background, she could use her status as a mother-in-law to control her son-in-law. But this person's family background was too high, so high that she didn't even dare to say a word to Na Qiao.
Previously, when Kong Xingjue came home and said that he was going to marry Jiuyao, she just said something unpleasant and was scolded by the three men in her family.
Lin Xiu felt aggrieved, thinking that it was indeed the case that a man forgets his mother after marrying a wife. After marrying a wife from a wealthy family, his son began to disobey him. Although Kong Xingjue had never listened to her before, she stubbornly believed that it was her daughter-in-law's fault.
But between her and Jiuyao, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, she is destined to be at a disadvantage.
The atmosphere at the wedding was also very strange. Everyone seemed happy, but it was only superficial.
Jiunan Zhen talked to the distinguished guests the whole time, not paying any attention to his own relatives, and even brought Jiuchen with him to introduce him to a group of old friends. This clearly meant that he had completely given up on Jiuyao and intended Jiuchen to become the heir of the Jiu family.
Those who came to the wedding were all smart people. Everyone's eyes wandered back and forth between the brother and sister, trying to figure out who would have the last laugh.
When it came to the toasting part, the bride only called her mother-in-law out of courtesy, without even calling her mom. Lin Xiuqi's hands were shaking, but she managed to hold it back and didn't dare to lose her temper.
She knew that if she dared to cause any trouble, her son would be the one who would suffer in the end.
Thanks to Zhong Ling, Kong Yu became even more certain that there was something fishy about the marriage between the Jiu family and the Kong family.
After the wedding, Kong Yu contacted Jiuchen personally. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, not to mention that he and Jiuchen are now in a cooperative relationship.
Jiuchen was a little surprised when he received Kongyu's call. Although he signed a cooperation agreement with Blue Star on behalf of the First Army, specific matters were handled by dedicated people, and Kongyu had never contacted him on his own initiative.
Jiuchen: "Why did you think of looking for me?"
Looking at Jiuchen in the uniform of the First Army, Kong Yu smiled and said, "I'm really not used to seeing you in this outfit. I thought we could be colleagues in the future."
Jiuchen raised an eyebrow: "I thought you would go straight into business after graduation. Now it seems that your ambition to join the army has not changed?"
Kong Yu: "Of course, going to the battlefield to kill star beasts is also my ambition, and it won't interfere with making money in business."
Jiuchen......
"Tell me what do you want from me?"
"Do you know why Colonel Jiuyao suddenly decided to marry Lord Kong Xingjue?"
Hearing Kong Yu mention Jiuyao, Jiuchen sneered and said indifferently: "Who knows? She is willing to marry someone who is inferior to her in every way. Even my father can't stop her, so I don't care."
Jiuchen looked at Kongyu intently for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and said, "She's married. Shouldn't you be happy? After all, she won't be pestering Major General Huo anymore."
After hearing what Jiuchen said, Kongyu realized that this person had misunderstood and thought that he was asking about this matter because he was afraid that Jiuyao would continue to harass Huo Yan.
He waved his hands in amusement, then straightened his expression: "I don't know what kind of person Colonel Jiuyao is, but I know Kong Xingjue. He does everything for the purpose of maximizing benefits.
He was a man who squeezed people dry and still had to think about whether the remaining bones were of any use. Besides the superficial benefits, there must be deeper reasons why he went to great lengths to marry Jiuyao.
In order to cooperate with Jiuchen, Kong Yu had to show his sincerity. He only told Jiuchen that Kong Xingjue might have a deep connection with a latent force in the Federation.
As expected, Jiuchen, who had previously ignored Kong Xingjue, became increasingly serious. "Are you saying that Kong Xingjue might be connected to the person who made the energy dispersing agent? Do you have any evidence?"
As for evidence, there is no direct evidence, and most of the situations here are just his guesses.
He asked Jiuchen in return: "If there is a force in the Federation that intends to overthrow the current regime, who do you think it is?"
Jiuchen didn't find Kongyu's guess absurd. Instead, he thought about it seriously and finally said slowly, "Are you talking about the royal family?"
He then quickly denied his own opinion: "No, it's unlikely. Although the royal family has a certain degree of autonomy, the Federation has never relaxed its surveillance on them. It's unlikely that it was them."
Kong Yu was surprised by Jiuchen's sharpness, but the biggest difference between Jiuchen and him was that Jiuchen had always lived in the upper class of the Federation. What he saw was the lack of freedom and confinement of the royal family, but what he saw more was the unwillingness of the losers.
"Kong Xingjue accidentally met the eldest prince of the royal family since he was a teenager. As far as I know, they kept in private contact for many years. It was not until Kong Xingjue joined the First Army that the two gradually lost contact."
