Chapter 0039: Showdown
When I came to the luxury restaurant to park, I turned my head to look at it, and the plaque was engraved with gold words "Dengxi Building".
The restaurant is seven floors high, the eaves are long and the golden tiles are shining, it is the leading big restaurant on this street, and the door of the restaurant is ushered in, and they are all gorgeously dressed welcome girls.
There was only one shrewd-looking man, known as "Wangzhike", and it was said that such a man had an excellent memory, but he could remember anyone who came to the restaurant. Every time he speaks, he also knows how to be measured. The words "harmony and wealth" are vividly reflected in him.
"Oops, ...... Zhong"
"Don't say my name."
"Oh, Miss, please." Seeing Chen Mu and the others, Wangzhike Xiaowu hurriedly asked, "These are your friends?" ”
"Sort of, open me a room with a heavenly name."
"Come on, you go straight upstairs. The rest of the small ones will be arranged for you. ”
Is the yellow-haired girl's surname "Zhong"?
Since she was willing to play mysterious, Chen Mu didn't get to the bottom of it, so she followed the girl all the way up to the seventh floor.
Come to the top floor.
On the huge top floor, there are only four private rooms, one of which is a private room in Chongnan, the lintel says "Listening to the Wind Pavilion", the girl in the skirt swaggered in, and Chen Mu and others rushed in.
Good spacious room.
The furnishings are luxurious, and there are some literati calligraphy and paintings on the wall, which adds a touch of literary atmosphere here.
The lame man pretended to be surprised, walked around the Listening Wind Pavilion, pushed open the door, and looked at each side room.
Chen Mu knew that the cripple was looking for someone.
However, this restaurant was temporarily designated by Chen Mu, even if the girl had accomplices, they would not have been arranged in the Tingfeng Pavilion so quickly.
Chen Mu and the girl sat face to face.
The Liang Dynasty inherited the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, and the meal was divided into meals, with a few per person, a few soft seats, and everyone knelt on the seats. Liang Chaoren does not say that this is called kneeling and sitting, only saying "sitting", with the buttocks on the ankles, the upper body is straight, the hands are placed on the knees in a regular manner, the temperament is dignified, and the eyes do not squint. Both men and women give people a rather cultured feeling. That's where sitting on the floor comes from.
And those who sit cross-legged, if they don't meditate, will make people look down on and even ridicule.
In the Liang Dynasty, it was rare for many people to eat at the same table, and the people of the Liang Dynasty said that that kind of custom was mostly the barbaric practice of the Beihu people, which was very indecent.
Chen Mu did not comment on this.
"Go out, there's something I want to talk to the girl alone."
"Whoa."
Two exits.
Chen Mu raised his eyes and looked at the dignified girl, whose face was as calm as water.
Chen Mu said: "I don't have any intention of hurting you, but I just have a few questions I want to ask you." ”
The girl smiled bitterly: "They are all people who understand, since you have reached this point, I think you still admit it." ”
"What do I admit?" Chen Mu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Let's talk about you first." You're a member of the killer group, and you're following me on purpose. ”
The girl nodded: "The prince is not strange, the little woman is also on a mission, and she has no choice but to do so." ”
"The Prince?"
"What, you still want to put it on?"
"To tell you the truth, I was fighting in Jiuquan, I was seriously injured in the head, and after I woke up, I can't remember a lot of things." At this time, Chen Mu's heart had already accelerated a little. He found the problem to be much more complex than he had imagined. In just a few sentences, the amount of information is too large, and for a while, I can't grasp it.
"Hey." The girl sighed: "I knew that you would not admit it easily. You can't trust me. You're worried that I'm from the Meng or Simon clans. ”
"And who are you?"
"Forgive me, I can't tell you right now."
"How many helpers do you have in this Yuzhou City?"
"Not much, but enough to pick me up."
"Good, fast-talking." Chen Mu stood up and looked out the window: "Why are you approaching me, please speak up." ”
"If you don't admit that you are Zhao Mu, I can't say it directly."
"My name is Chen Mu, not Zhao Mu."
"In this case, I can only call you Childe, if Childe continues to refuse to admit his identity, then I can't protect you if I go further."
"Who wants to kill me?"
"The Meng family, the Ximen family, and the royal family."
"Why did they kill me?"
"Because everyone will think that you are the prince and pastor like me. The Meng clan and the Ximen clan want to kill you to prevent you from falling into the hands of the Tang clan lords. But now, you have run into the Shence army in a grand manner. If this is known to the Meng clan and the Simon clan, wouldn't they be so hateful that the root of their teeth itched? They're going to kill you. And why did the royal family kill you, didn't you count it in your own heart? ”
Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "I know too little. But thank you for telling me so much. ”
The girl asked, "Do you have to go back to Luoyang?" ”
Chen Mu didn't answer the girl's question, but asked, "Are there many people who know me?" ”
The girl chuckled: "Not much, it can be said that there are very few, and the most critical characters are no longer alive." But your portrait is now all over the streets. ”
"You have my portrait too?" Chen Mu wanted to see the portrait.
Along the way, I have also seen a few wanted portraits, to be honest, the painting is really not very good, and in the territory controlled by the Tang family's gate valve, I have not found that the portrait of the prince Zhao Mu has been posted.
The girl shook her head: "I don't need to have it, because I have seen the portrait, and I will not forget it." ”
Chen Mu frowned slightly, feeling that he was in a deep quagmire, and the most difficult thing to do now was the life experience of this body, which sounded very complicated.
In addition, Chen Mu has to judge what this girl means. Which group does she belong to?
"You're from the Down's Gate?" Chen Mu turned his head and smiled kindly.
"If I were from the Tang Gate, I would have told you a long time ago. And I will run back to Luoyang non-stop now and tell Tang Qiong that I have found you. In that case, I'll get a big bounty. ”
"So which group are you from? What are you doing with me? ”
"If you don't admit that you are Zhao Mu, you have nothing to say."
Chen Mu calmed down and thought about it: This girl is actually not sure whether "I" is the prince Zhao Mu or not.
Listening to the lame man's story, Chen Mu also knew about some royal changes in the Liang Dynasty, including Zhao Mu, the illegitimate son of the emperor who escaped from Luoyang City.
Could it be such a coincidence, I am that Zhao Mu?
As for Chen Mu of Wanhualou in Pingkangfang, which is written in the household registration book, in fact, this is not a big deal, if the prince Zhao Mu really wants to escape from the capital, it seems that it is easy for him to get a fake "ID card".
So, why can't the girl be sure that "I" is Zhao Mu?
Is there anyone else who ran away with Zhao Mu, they are similar in appearance, similar in age, and comparable in martial arts. And my body is one of them. The purpose is to confuse the real Zhao Mu and let the real Zhao Mu escape to other places?
The more I thought about the problem, the more I thought about it, but judging from the information that Chen Mu had now, it was impossible to judge at all.
So, now Chen Mu has to face the old problem: survival and development.
Survival doesn't have to be explained, it's just living.
Development is to continue to go to Luoyang, climb the big tree of the Tang family, and after arriving at the Tang family, I must meet Tang Qiong and see how Tang Qiong arranged my development route. If I guessed correctly, Tang Qiong would arrange me to be under Tang Zhen, and then Tang Zhen would arrange for me to become Kong Xiaoxian's right-hand man to help Kong Xiaoxian control the Third Division steadily. Lay the foundation for Tang Zhen to compete for the patriarch of the gate valve in the future.
From then on, I am a general in the Shence Army, away from the so-called "princely dispute", I am my Chen Mu in a proper manner, with the support of the big tree of the Tang clan, it is difficult for other forces to move me through political means.
The only thing I want to pay attention to is this group of killers. Because they don't know when they can come out.
But if I'm not in the Divine Army, won't I have to face these killers?
And without the protection of the troops, without the support of the Tang Gate, I seem to have become more vulnerable.
So, whether it's for survival or development, I should stay in the Divine Army.
Another important point is that if Tang Qiong supports the prince's pastor, then do I have a chance to become the emperor?
Or maybe the throne was supposed to be mine.
"Girl, I'm probably going to disappoint you."
