Chapter 206: A Sharp Turn

Regarding Chai Yu's actions, Chen Qiuniang was taken aback. How much Guo Wei and Chai Rong hated the Khitans. Therefore, for the Northern Han who colluded with the Khitan, they swore to break the city. After that, the Zhao royal family and the Khitan were entangled for hundreds of years, and you came and went, and each other became a pain in the heart.

If Chai Yu takes refuge in the Khitan, no matter what hardships he has, he will eventually become a sinner for the people. It lies in him, there must be a last resort, but the people don't care so much. When the time comes, how will Chai Yu deal with himself?

Chen Qiuniang knows that "people's words are terrible", and knows that people's spit can really drown people.

Zhang Ci shook his head and said, "The news I received is only to report his whereabouts, as for whether he will defect to the Khitan, it is not clear." ”

"He is only fifteen years old, and if he takes refuge in the Khitan with a brain fever, he may not be able to bear the consequences later. I'm afraid that this life will be ruined. Chen Qiuniang was very worried.

"You look like you're in your seventies and eighties. Don't forget that you're younger than him, even if it's not nine years old before, and you're only eleven now, you're still younger than him. Zhang Ci said with a smile.

"I'm talking about the very strict question." Chen Qiuniang protested with a straight face.

"Okay. I'll just say it sternly. It is unlikely that Chai Yu will defect to the Khitan. Because he is Chai Rong's chosen heir, he will only receive more education and training than me since he was a child, and more cruel than mine. Judging from his identity and education, as well as the glory of his father's generation, he will not defect to the Khitan. Zhang Ci said very seriously.

When Chen Qiuniang heard this, her heart settled down a little, but what did Chai Yu do in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures? She thought for a moment and asked, "How much do you know about Chai Rong's secret army?" ”

"Ah, Yun'er, where did you know about Chai Rong's secret army?" Zhang Ci was very surprised.

Chen Qiuniang naturally couldn't tell the truth when she was with Dai Yuanqing in that time and space, but for a while, she couldn't answer, but fortunately, Zhang Ci was very good at brain supplementation, and immediately asked again: "Could it be that Chai Yu sued you?" ”

"No comment." Chen Qiuniang immediately replied to these four words. Anyway, as soon as these four words are said, even if there is no positive answer, Zhang Ci will think that Chai Yu told her about Chai Rong's secret army.

That's what he said. You have to keep it a secret for him, so I won't ask any more questions. "Zhang Ci is a gentleman in the end, not as despicable as Chen Qiuniang.

"Thank you for your thoughtfulness." She said with a grin.

Zhang Ci smiled helplessly and said, "Chai Rong's secret army." We've only heard about it, and we know that there are two talismans. As for what that talisman looked like, the Nine Great Families didn't know. And who is the leader, we don't know. Therefore, Chai Rong's army is still very mysterious. ”

"So you don't know anything about this army? Just know that there is such an army that exists? Chen Qiuniang asked. I already wondered if there was such an army.

"It's not that I knew there was such an army. Rather, it is known that there is such an army that may survive zĂ i. Zhang Ci deliberately emphasized the word "maybe".

It turned out that Zhang Ci also suspected that this army was just a legend, just a fictitious one. Chen Qiuniang immediately became interested and said, "Do you also suspect that this army is a disguise?" ”

"Why do you doubt it?" Zhang Ci was shocked at this moment, as if he didn't know her, and looked at her carefully.

Chen Qiuniang was embarrassed by him, so she raised her head to block her face and said, "Don't look at me like that, everyone has to be suspicious, okay?" If there is a secret army, is the Chai family like that? ”

"Didn't Chai Rong die violently?" Zhang Ci retorted.

"I don't know if he died violently. Don't you know about the Nine Great Families? Haven't you doubted it? "Chen Qiuniang and Zhang Ci discussed, anyway, they have no responsibility to make inferences about history. Who can tell which of the historical things that have been recorded and passed down in the world is true and which is false?

Zhang Ci frowned slightly, then turned over and got out of bed to cut the lantern flowers, and when he returned to the bed again, he took a breath, and he couldn't figure it out, and said, "Why do you always make me unable to see through and understand." Or do you always surprise me? ”

"Is it wrong for people to be smarter?" Chen Qiuniang pursed her lips, and then said, "Besides, when will Chai Rong be able to cultivate a secret army?" When he was young, he followed Guo Weidong to run west. I heard that Guo Wei didn't expect to be the emperor at that time, but he was forced to be helpless, and finally became the emperor himself. Chai Rong is not his own son, although he is theoretically the crown prince, but he has no prestige, and he has not been officially canonized, his status is embarrassing, how to cultivate an army? The army needs money and equipment. When I heard about this secret army, I thought it was unreliable. ”

"Then you didn't think that it was the secret army that Chai Rong established after he became the emperor?" Zhang Ci asked this question.

"It was a possibility. But Hou Zhou is very poor, and after Chai Rong inherited the throne, many people disagreed with him. He was anxious to prove himself, how dangerous the battle he went to fight with the Khitan of the Northern Han Dynasty. To put it mildly, it was all about luck, and if he hadn't had that luck, he would have confessed on that piece of land. You need money, energy, time, and the right people. Chai Rong relied on Zhao Kuangyin the most at that time. Chen Qiuniang analyzed them one by one, and finally felt that Chai Rong's secret army was really just a cover.

Zhang Ci didn't speak at this time, Chen Qiuniang pulled his clothes and asked, "How did I analyze it?" ”

"I'm not sure." Zhang Ci replied.

Or because Chai Rong was not Guo Wei's biological son, and he didn't have much credit, and he was ordered to inherit the throne in danger, many people in the army and the court were not convinced. He intentionally or unintentionally revealed such a secret army to deter everyone. Chen Qiuniang said while thinking that if this secret army was fake, then Chai Yu would be really pitiful.

After listening to her words, Zhang Ci said slowly: "You have a point. However, your analysis is only based on the fact that the army was established by Chai Rong. However, what if this secret army was actually prepared by Guo Wei in his early years? At that time, the warlords and princes would hide their strength. ”

If it was prepared by Guo Wei!

When Chen Qiuniang heard this, she immediately felt that this might be the truth of the matter. History also has a very high evaluation of Guo Wei, saying that this person can endure and make decisions that are beyond ordinary people.

Besides, the period of five dynasties and ten kingdoms was originally a super chaotic time. In that era, it was not insurance to be an emperor. Many people become emperors today and will be destroyed tomorrow. Therefore, the old fox Guo Wei repeatedly refused to be the emperor, and it was not until the time was ripe that he ascended the throne. Then, in the process of his strategizing and taoguang, he will definitely raise his own power. For example, a secret army that only belongs to him, of course, the person he trusts the most should be Chai Rong, so Chai Rong may also know about this army, and later Chai Rong inherited the unification, and this secret army belongs to Chai Rong.

"If that's the case, then the survival of this army makes sense. However, Zhao Kuangyin has been looking for so long and has not found it, which is a bit hanging. Isn't this army in the Central Plains? When Chen Qiuniang said this, she stopped to look at Zhang Ci's reaction, because she originally suspected that Chai Yu went to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to gather that secret army, but she didn't know if it was the return of the king or a ridiculous restoration. If the army still exists, will they obey the orders of a child?

"Yun'er, you're trying to trick me. I know, will I hide it from you? To be honest, the Nine Great Families have also discussed this issue, and they have the same suspicions as you. However, since this matter has no conflict of interest for the Nine Great Families, and it will not affect our mission, we should at most pay attention to it. Zhang Ci pinched Chen Qiuniang's face, with a look of "I really can't help you".

Chen Qiuniang was seen through, so she had to laugh dryly. Zhang Ci said: "Sleep obediently, don't worry, the things over there in Qingcheng Mountain have been retrieved, the layout has been arranged, and as for Liuhe Town, I have also arranged countermeasures." For shaking the light and opening the sun, you can rest assured. If you say that, I'll keep an eye on it. Now, can you sleep peacefully? ”

"Okay. I'm a little sleepy too. Chen Qiuniang smiled and pulled the quilt to cover it.

Zhang Ci turned over and got out of bed, Chen Qiuniang didn't know what he was doing, so she asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll sleep here, watch over you, you sleep obediently. Zhang Ci pointed to the straw mat on the ground.

Chen Qiuniang glanced at the straw mat, and then remembered that men and women could not kiss each other, so she hurriedly put down the mosquito net and covered the quilt to sleep. A heart was pounding, and his breathing was chaotic, but before going to bed, he still didn't forget to tell Zhang Ci: "Remember to add some incense, there are a lot of mosquitoes here." ”

Zhang Ci said "um" and told her not to speak and sleep obediently. Chen Qiuniang obediently said "um", pulled the quilt to sleep, and felt like she was back when she was a child, she was a little girl, listening to her grandmother's advice, and sleeping very seriously.

This night, Chen Qiuniang slept very peacefully, very steadily, and very sweetly. I slept until noon the next day. There is no lunch in the temple, only two meals in the morning and evening, and breakfast is eaten relatively late.

Chen Qiu Niangzai looked at Kaiyang carefully, and finally when Xiaocui went to fetch water and shook the light to hot rice, she shouted: "Kaiyang? ”

Kaiyang looked at her and whispered: "The second prince said, let you not act rashly, he will go back first, there are still some things." ”

"Oh." Chen Qiuniang bit her chopsticks, feeling an indescribable loss in her heart.

After eating, Chen Qiuniang was thinking about how to deal with Zhu Wenkang, she leaned against the window and was thinking about tricking Zhu Wenkang to Qingcheng County, so Xiaocui came in with water and said, "Son, you can clean it." It's always nerve-wracking to sleep late into the afternoon. ”

Chen Qiuniang turned around to clean and asked casually: "What about shaking the light and opening the sun?" ”

"They fell asleep." Xiao Cui smiled gloomily.

Chen Qiuniang felt that something was wrong, so she felt that her whole body was soft, she frowned, pointed at Xiaocui, and asked, "You, you want to harm me." ”

"Childe, you are so good to Xiaocui, how can I be willing to harm you. I'm doing this for your own good, and you come with me. I'm already in trouble, and it's good for you and for me. Xiao Cui smiled, leaned down and whispered in her ear.

Chen Qiuniang wanted to speak, but she couldn't open her mouth, she only felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and finally sank into darkness. Before she went to sleep, her only thought was: the enemy was finally coming head-on, so it would be better to have a target. R1152
