Chapter 106: To the Mountain of No Return
The carriage of the fifth family passed through half of Qiancheng and walked slowly on the road to the Mountain of No Return, Qiyan and Jiujue still played the role of coachmen, and Meng Shaoguang and Wuchen were still sitting in the carriage together. It's just that the atmosphere today is particularly weird.
Meng Shaoguang was still leaning on the pillow, the whole person looked lazy, holding a cup with just the right temperature of tea in his hand; Wu Chen sat opposite Meng Shaoguang, holding a book in his hand and looking at it carefully, taking a sip of tea on the low table from time to time, and paying attention to the amount of tea in Meng Shaoguang's hand by the way.
As usual, you can always take the teacup naturally when the tea is just finished, continue it slowly and carefully, and pass it over when the tea temperature is just right. Then after Meng Shaoguang's three cups of tea, he put down the book he was fascinated by and opened the secret compartment to take out some food from it and put it on the low table, and when the three quarters of an hour passed, he put away the food one by one, and then handed Meng Shaoguang a cup of tea, and when she finished drinking, she skillfully collected the low table and the teapot stove teacup. And Meng Shaoguang stretched out his ears and legs to change his comfortable posture, took the book handed over by Wu Chen, and looked at it carefully.
Everything didn't seem to have changed, but Meng Shaoguang didn't read a word of the book in his hand. In the past, when Wu Chen did this, it was not obvious, but today, looking at Wu Chen's appearance, it seemed that he wanted to talk away, but his own evasion stopped there. Now Wuchen is like nothing has happened, which makes Meng Shaoguang feel a little uncomfortable in his heart.
It's as if it's a matter of two people and only she takes it seriously, which feels very bad.
She didn't say anything special about Wuchen, if she did, she probably trusted a little more than ordinary people. Otherwise, he would not have put the safety of the entire An Wangfu on him. Fifth Chen does have this ability to make her trust.
She and Wuchen were only cooperative relations from the beginning, and they found him by themselves. The fifth family has a big business, if there is no backstage, she is a thousand and ten thousand unbelievers, and compared to the intelligence of the fifth Chen, if the crown prince or the fourth prince sits on the throne, the fifth family will inevitably be suppressed in the next few decades, if it is ruthless, it is okay for the fifth family to be charged with treason, after all, the family business of the fifth family is as far away as the Western Dynasty.
So Meng Shaoguang did not hesitate to throw an olive branch at him, which was the short sword. It was also a temptation, but fortunately, Fifth Chen did not disappoint her, and the scabbard was the answer given by Fifth Chen. Naturally, smart people don't have to say much to each other, just a move, they can see the big picture.
The matter of the fifth Jue made the fifth family more intimate with the Anwangfu, and the fifth Chen may not have the sincerity of the fifth Jue as a cooperation with the Anwangfu, so Meng Shaoguang chose the fifth Chen as a helper when he was going to leave the capital and asked the fifth Chen to help investigate the news of the king of An, and the fifth Chen did not disappoint her, and began to prepare since then.
I have to say that cooperating with Wuchen is Meng Shaoguang's luck.
This is not the same as the cooperation of the Six Princes, and with the Six Princes, it is more appropriate to say that it is a transaction. Meng Shaoguang is the six princes, just to take what they need, the six princes need Meng Shaoguang to seize the throne for him, and she needs the six princes to ascend the throne to ensure the stability of the palace. Meng Shaoguang didn't want to have more to do with the Six Princes than this transaction, but she did the same.
