The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward, his eyes were red, as if he was going to eat people, stared at Chen Chu, and said: "Chen Chu, do you know that my son Changsun Chong, early this morning, followed your guards out of the city, and someone saw it with his own eyes, he caught up with those guards and went to the west with them, do you dare to say that this matter has nothing to do with you?" ”

Chen Chu said very simply: "No." ”

Chen Chu was also stunned about this matter.

Eldest Sun Chong is crazy, right?

If you live a good life, what are you doing in the Western Regions?

You must know that in this era, the Western Regions is still a large area of undeveloped land, and there are also large tracts of primeval forests in Longyou.

Moreover, within a few years of the Tang Dynasty's capture of the Turkic territory, there are still dangers in many places.

It can be said that going to the Western Regions is a life of nine deaths.

The eldest grandson Chong is this gentleman, and he won't even know this.

But why did he go to the Western Regions?

Chen Chu was puzzled.

And the eldest grandson Wuji stared at Chen Chu's expression and eyes carefully, wanting to see any clues.

But when he looked at it, he didn't see any flaws, and asked unwillingly, "You really don't know about this?" ”

Chen Chu shook his head: "Lord Eldest Sun, I don't know anything about this matter...... However, if you are worried about Changsun Chong, you can send someone to pursue it now, and maybe, you will be able to chase it back in ten days and a half months. ”

Li Er said on the side: "I have already sent a hundred horsemen out of the city to chase after me, and it is estimated that there will be news soon." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded helplessly.

……

Heavy snow is falling.

If you go further, you will cross the territory of Jingzhao Mansion.

The weather is getting colder.

Xue Rengui's convoy also slowed down.

At this moment, two dog sleds came rushing behind him, and two young men with athletic skills jumped down from them.

The two stepped forward and said with a serious face: "Da Lang, a few miles behind, there are a few chasing soldiers, who seem to be coming for us......"

Xue Rengui suddenly became cautious.

He said: "Brothers, before leaving, the boss specially explained, let us act carefully, act secretly, and not leak the news, it may be what was expected, and now it seems that the pursuers behind us are prepared...... In this way, Xue Da, you immediately took people and walked to the mountains. The rest of you, come with me, and we'll divert the pursuers......"

In a short time, the convoy split in two. Under the leadership of Xue Da, a team left the official road and went straight to the mountain.

Xue Rengui took four people to clean up the scene, after all, all the traces left by Xue Da and others were erased, and then several people loaded stones with a carriage and drove back and forth, leaving marks on the snow, creating the illusion that the convoy continued to move forward, and several people continued to walk along the official road.

A few people had just left for a while.

There were three men in black.

The men in black jumped off their horses and pursued the ground.

One of them said, "It's the rut from the previous carriage, yes, they went ahead." ”

The leader waved his hand and said, "Chase!" ”

Several people turned over and got on their horses and continued to chase forward.

The three of them chased for a long time, and when they arrived in a small county town, they lost their traces, because the convoy here suddenly increased, and it was impossible to judge which ones had just arrived from Chang'an. A few people got together, and after a little total, they thought that there was only one road to the west here, and it must be to the west, so they didn't have time to repair it, so they continued to go west.

Meanwhile.

Xue Rengui's convoy was heading north, and there were no pursuers behind him.

In the face of everyone's incomprehension, Xue Rengui explained: "Brothers, as the saying goes, soldiers, tracks, others think we will go west, but we go north, so they can no longer find us......"

Suddenly, a head poked out of the curtain of the carriage next to it.

It was the eldest grandson Chong.

The eldest grandson Chong pointed at Xue Rengui and said, "The surname is Xue, you quickly let me down, I want to go back to Chang'an......"

Before Xue Rengui could speak, Xue Da, who had always been honest and honest, said: "Da Lang, let this person go, look at him, he is thin and weak, but he eats more than anyone else, and he is completely a burden." ”

Xue Rengui shook his head: "What if he returns to Chang'an and leaks the news?" ”

Xue Da showed a sincere smile: "He can't go back, this place is in the wilderness, not to mention that there is heavy snow covering the mountains, there are no less than a hundred kinds of wild beasts, throw him here, he won't live for half an hour......"

What the?

The eldest grandson's eyes widened suddenly.

He stabbed open the carriage curtain, jumped down, grabbed Xue Rengui's hand, and said tremblingly: "I am joking, Xue Rengui, no, Brother Xue, I want to go to the Western Regions with you to complete the task assigned by the prince, how can I give up halfway." ”

Eldest Sun Chong has seen wild beasts.

Let's just say that just now, there was a group of hungry wolves who attacked the convoy and were slaughtered by Xue Rengui and his people.

Changsun Chong felt that although these people looked poor and sour, they were strong in martial arts, and with them, safety should not be a problem.

Xue Rengui asked, "Eldest grandson, have you thought clearly?" ”

The eldest grandson nodded at the chicken: "I think very clearly, I'm not leaving, I'm going to join you!" ”

The crowd laughed and said nothing.

……

Temple of Manna.

There is still no news from the Hundred Riders.

Li Er, eldest grandson Wuji and others got together.

In the main hall, the atmosphere was somewhat silent.

Everyone is waiting for news.

Suddenly, Cheng Chumo rushed over.

Cheng Chu bowed silently and said, "Your Majesty, I received an order from the Hundred Cavalry Division...... The people sent out to track Xue Rengui were chased and lost! ”

Lost?

Li Er and the others all looked shocked.

Li Er asked, "So many people actually lost Xue Rengui and those people?" ”

Cheng Chumo nodded: "The Hundred Cavalry Division, more than a dozen teams of people and horses, all of them have lost the traces of Xue Rengui and others, according to the order, Xue Rengui and his convoy are like evaporating from the world, and even the eldest grandson has no trace." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji's heart jumped, and he asked in surprise: "Could it be, could it be that they have encountered an accident?" ”

Cheng Chumo shook his head: "Impossible, at present, there are hundreds of cavalry divisions in various government offices, and nothing has been found, besides, Xue Rengui and others, there are more than a dozen carriages, it is a huge convoy, and it is impossible not to leave any traces when encountering accidents......"

Li Jing, who had not spoken, suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, then there is only one possibility......

"Li Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Li Er said.

Li Jing analyzed: "That is, that Xue Rengui deliberately avoided the tracking of the Hundred Cavalry Division, if this is the case, then this person is a genius...... The Hundred Cavalry Division is a team trained by His Majesty himself, and he specializes in reporting and tracking, etc., but he was actually got rid of Xue Rengui, this son is not simple......"

Li Er thought for a while and nodded: "Chu Mo, go check on Xue Rengui immediately." ”

After a short time, Cheng Chumo hurriedly came back and said: "Your Majesty, it has been verified that Xue Rengui is a native of Jinzhou, Hedong, and his family has been poor since he was a child, but he followed a hermit named Old Master to learn the art of war and martial arts, and his martial arts are outstanding......
