Chapter 118: Recognition
That night, Wei Yu took advantage of the night to return to the city. When he passed the fork in Xinzhou Village again, he suddenly remembered Li Xiaonuan's dodge when he saw her today. Perhaps, it's time to untie the knot.
Thinking of the letter he received the day before, Wei Yu felt uneasy. He also wanted to know why Chu Feng would personally come forward to apologize for Chu Lin. It stands to reason that no one told the Chu family about Chu Lin's incident. Isn't it, the subordinates of the Chu Mansion sent a letter to the capital privately?
Looking at Chu Feng's attitude in the past two days, he seemed to be very dissatisfied with the way the Wei Mansion was handled. As for whether they were dissatisfied with Chu Lin or being implicated, or dissatisfied with them not helping Chu Lin to round things up, and then cleaned up Li Xiaonuan. Wei Yu really doesn't know.
The next day, a carriage with a green curtain stopped at the gate of Zhao's house. Xiao Si jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door. In the middle of the night, the door of the Zhao family opened from the inside. Uncle Lin stood outside the threshold and asked, "May I ask who the little brother is looking for, which house is it?" ”
King Jing, who was getting out of the carriage, stared at Uncle Lin for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Uncle Lin, is that you?" ”
Uncle Lin looked at the man who spoke up, and there was a moment of distraction on his face. But when I came back to my senses, I was deeply afraid. He didn't care about Xiao Si's answer, he snapped the door shut and ran to the backyard.
Xiao Si flattened his mouth and asked, "Doctor Jing, son, what should we do?" ”
Wei Yu glanced at Xiao Si disdainfully, and said, "What else can I do, wait." ”
King Jing took advantage of the waiting time to take a look at Xinzhou Village. If he remembers correctly, the second room on the right side of the Zhao family should be Li Xiaonuan's house. It's just that the yard of Li Xiaonuan's house is very small and dilapidated. The courtyard is still a bamboo raft.
As for the Zhao family, the height of the blue brick wall is five feet. The vermilion gate also looks more magnificent. Inside the wall, glazed tiles loom. This house, in this village full of mud-walled low houses, looks a little out of place.
King Jing didn't have to wait long for the door of the Zhao family to reopen. This time, it was the young master of the Zhao family, Zhao Lichuan, who personally went out to greet him. The moment he saw Zhao Wangchuan, King Jing actually lost his temper and stood directly in place, without any reaction to Zhao Wangchuan's greetings.
Seeing this, Wei Yu directly stepped forward and punched Zhao Lichuan in the shoulder, and asked, "Cousin Chen, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and the wine has grown so strong." I'm your cousin Wei Yu, do you remember? ”
Zhao Wangchuan found that there were villagers coming around to see the excitement, so he invited King Jing and them inside, saying, "This is not a place to entertain guests. The two of you are inside, please, let's talk about it inside. ”
entered the door of the Zhao family as he wished, but King Jing and Wei Yu became a little nervous. They were afraid, afraid that it was just a misunderstanding. And the person they are looking for is not here at all.
Sitting, serving refreshments, Zhao Lichuan asked all the subordinates to exit the courtyard. Then he said to the two people who were seated, "If you don't come these two days, I'll come to the door." Uncle Fifth Emperor, cousin Wei Yu, what are your plans after you find our mother and son? ”
Wei Yu looked at King Jing and saw that he was distracted, so he replied, "What else can I do, of course I will take you back." This is the will of the Holy Majesty Himself. ”
Zhao Wangchuan shook his head and said, "It's easy to take us back, but what about after we go back?" How does that man plan to tell the world about the existence of our mother and son? And how can we explain to the world the fire and all the people who died in that fire? ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the fire that year was characterized as a mistake by the little palace maid. And our mother and son have both been killed in that fire. Excuse me, it has been characterized like this, what kind of reason does that person have to come up with to explain to the world the reason why our mother and son came back from the dead? ”
Wei Yu was speechless. All along, his only purpose was to find his aunt and cousin. But now that he had found it, he found it even harder. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the fire came strangely at the beginning, and it engulfed the entire Reva Hall almost instantly. Moreover, none of the people in the temple escaped alive.
The most coincidental thing is that the Ouchi Praetorian Guards on duty that night were entangled outside the Xuanwu Gate. All those who should have been the first to see the water claimed to have slept and had not heard any movement at all.
"Cousin, I believe you know better than me the dangers and struggles that our mother and son will face when they go back. Don't forget, the people who are on the phoenix throne now were already so powerful back then. Now, does that person still have a way to save our mother and son? Zhao Lichuan's voice did not fluctuate, as if he was relaying other people's affairs.
"Of course, I understand the purpose of the man who sent you to find our mother and son. He was just out of that guilt. Perhaps, there is also a reason for your grandfather and cousin. Anyway, we won't be going back for a while. I also want to ask Uncle Huang and my cousin to keep it secret for our mother and son. When it's time for us to go back, I'll send someone to inform you. ”
King Jing listened quietly. It wasn't until Zhao Wangchuan finished his words that he suddenly asked: "Chen'er, I heard that your mother was injured back then, is it true?" ”
Zhao Lichuan nodded and replied, "Well, it's hurt, and the entire left cheek is ruined." Most of the back was burned to the ground. If you hadn't met a master, I'm afraid that what you see today would be someone else. ”
Wei Lu's injury and disfigurement were confirmed, and King Jing's face showed a ruthlessness completely different from his previous temperament. Originally, the king in his bones was very domineering, and with such a ruthless expression, the painting style of the whole person has changed.
Zhao Wangchuan looked at King Jing and thought: The royal children are all extraordinary. If it weren't for Emperor Taizu's legacy of passing on the throne, I'm afraid that the later generations of emperors would have to rely on blood to pave the way.
"Okay, you all know the situation, I don't know what you are going to do next?" Zhao Wangchuan asked the two.
King Jing said with implicit anger: "We need to discuss a countermeasure to this matter, and we can't be in a hurry." I think it's better for me to stay in your house with Wei Yu for a few days. We'll leave when we've discussed what to do. ”
Wei Yu agreed, and said, "It's better to use the excuse of going into the mountains to hunt." I heard you caught a clouded leopard, a golden cat. On this ground, we went into the mountains to discuss matters. lest others be suspicious. ”
Zhao Wangchuan pondered for a moment and then responded. He said, "That's fine." I'll have you stay first, and when we're ready, we'll go back into the mountain tomorrow." ”
In this way, Wei Yu and King Jing lived in the Zhao family in a grand manner. Then the next morning, they went into the mountain with their men. This time, Lao Dao did not follow, but ran to Li Xiaonuan's house and asked her some questions about her previous life. (To be continued.) )
