On the second day of February, at night.

The night wind was very cold, Chen Mu, who was wearing a fur coat, sat by the stove to roast the fire, only Zhong Lixiang was alone, Zhang Ga and two maidservants stood at the door, and glanced at them, the distance was far enough that they could not hear the sound of talking in the house.

Chen Mu said in a low voice: "I want to leave here." ”

"What?" Zhong Lixiang leaned over.

"I said, I want to get out of here. Not to leave with the troops, but to leave alone. ”

Zhongli looked at the door and squatted down: "Why do you suddenly want to give up." ”

Chen Mu smiled bitterly: "Instead of being forced to leave by the situation, it is better to take the initiative to seek change." I am not sure of winning, if I continue to be trapped in the chessboard set by the Queen Mother, it is very likely that I will eventually be 'abandoned by others to protect the handsome', that is, the Queen Mother will always be invincible, and I have become a victim. ”

Zhong Lixiang said solemnly: "Then when are you going to leave?" ”

"It's either tomorrow or it's now."

"Now?"

"yes, it's just the two of us."

"What about Zhang Han and Zhang Youtian?"

"They're fine." Chen Mu stood up: "After I leave, they will continue to be their generals." I will also leave a letter to each of them. Let them switch to other places. As for whether it is the royal family or the three major gates, it is up to them to decide. ”

Zhong Lixiang frowned: "I still feel a little pity. ”

"It's not a pity." Chen Mudao: "In the current Liang Dynasty, it is not interesting to be an emperor. And if you want to rely on the Western Regions as a base and force your way through the Hexi Corridor, you have no chance of winning a decisive battle with the Tang Clan. Not to mention the duel with the other two coalition forces. And the Tang clan will not be wiped out by us, when the Tang clan is really cornered, he will open the Tong Pass and bring the Meng clan and the Ximen clan over to help. When the time comes, how will we fight against 600,000 horses? Counting on the Queen Mother? ”

"It's too sudden." Zhong Lixiang was a little frustrated: "I'm worried that your gang of subordinates will be rectified as soon as you leave." ”

"Don't worry, it won't."

"Why are you so sure?"

"I said the other day that I got very bad news." Chen Mu added a handful of charcoal: "Do you know where Senior Sister Yan has been recently?" ”

"I don't know."

"She went on a mission in Donghu, and when she came back, she brought me a message. Alandor once again persuaded the king of Donghu to decide to fight the Liang army in the Western Regions. When the time comes, they divide the Western Regions equally, and then attack the Hexi Corridor together. You think, if I don't leave, stay here and fight Latif, after the fight, Liang Jun is already exhausted. If you are surrounded by Arlando and Donghu again at this time, what will be the end? ”

"Defeated."

Chen Mu nodded: "After the defeat of the Anxi army, the emperor may not be able to keep it, the elites of the three major lords have their own losses, and the three princes are also in a catastrophe." In that case, the Liang Dynasty was in danger of collapsing. How many people will die by then, have you calculated? ”

Zhongli shook his head.

Chen Mu's face was solemn: "Now the choice is still in my hands." As long as I leave, Arlando's ruse will not come true. I have already written the letter, and in addition to Zhang Han and the lame, I will also send it to the emperor and the three gate lords, persuading them not to start a war in the Western Regions, but to immediately go north to intercept Donghu and kill them by surprise. King Donghu and Alandor must not be allowed to get together, while we are still fighting among ourselves. Only in this way can we ensure that the Liang Dynasty will not fall into danger, and let the 50 million people of the Liang Dynasty not be ruined. ”

Zhongli nodded.

"I stay, it won't end well. Both for me and for others. Chen Mu inquired in a tone: "Come with me." Let's go to Gangnam. Find a place to settle down. Wouldn't it be nice to do some business and travel around in your spare time. ”

Zhong Lixiang smiled and nodded.

——

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Youtian, Zhang Han, the emperor and others all received a letter, and everyone was shocked when they saw the letter.

The king had already left Ulcheng last night, and handed over the seal of the king and the seal of the general of Longwu, and finally told everyone about Alando's plan, so that everyone quickly organized troops to go north to block the approach of the Donghu people.

At this time, Chen Mu had already led ten followers to escape from Ulcheng for more than 100 miles, changing horses all the way, non-stop, and went straight to Dunhuang.

Chen Mu said to Zhong Lixiang: "Xiang'er, if I want to take a few people to run together, are you willing?" ”

"Is it Hanxiang?"

"Hanxiang is just one of them."

"Who else do you want to bring?"

"After returning to Dunhuang, I will find a few people, and if they want to, I will take them all with me."

"You're not worried about too many people, but you won't be able to pass the levels?"

Chen Mu laughed and said, "I guess whether it's the royal family or the three major gates, they are very grateful to me now." I have given everything to the imperial court, and for such a feat, His Majesty the Emperor must have issued a decree to praise me. And the three major gates will also feel no more worries because of my departure. ”

"I don't think so. They may praise you verbally, but secretly send killers to kill you. Zhongli paused: "It's not you, it's us." ”

Chen Mu nodded: "There is no big mistake in being careful. But I already have a backhand. What do you think I set up a military command, secrecy, and royal command, and in the end, it wasn't for the purpose of escaping? Let's go to Jiangnan to find Gao Zhuang, and we also have to contact Xiaomei and Yuan Hong in Luoyang. With his connections, I was able to double my assets in a matter of years. Believe me, you will definitely live a rich life. ”

"Hmm. Of course I do. ”

——

Halfway through, in pursuit of speed, Zhong Lixiang gave up her white camel and gave it to the herdsmen who worshipped the white camel as a sacred object. When the herdsmen heard that white camels had been brought, they came in groups to see them and brought many gifts to Miss Zhongli. Seeing that the girl was extraordinary, he called her a fairy from the sky.

When she was separated from the camel, the girl was a little reluctant and couldn't help crying. And the camel turned out to be humane, and its eyes were moist, which couldn't help but make people sad.

More than one day, Chen Mu returned to Dunhuang. When I came to the palace, I saw Hanxiang's mother and daughter.

Yu Linglong has given birth and is sitting at home raising confinement.

Chen Mu told Yu Linglong his thoughts, and Yu Linglong readily agreed, called Han Xiang, and asked for Han Xiang's opinion.

But Hanxiang was a little hesitant.

At that moment, Chen Mu made a decision not to force Hanxiang to go together. The girl values power, and if she is suddenly deprived of power, she will feel that life has become boring. Later, Chen Mu left the lame's house, returned to his home, and asked Xiaohuan for his opinion.

Xiaohuan didn't say anything else except being shocked, and began to hurriedly pack up his things and prepare to go to Jiangnan with Chen Mu.

Later, Chen Mu found a few more people, including Li Shan, Han Jianniang, Fang Qing, Gu Changsong, Qin Qingquan and more than 20 people.

But if he hesitated a little, Chen Mu didn't plan to take it away. In the end, only Xiaohuan, Fang Qing, Gu Changsong, Li Shan, Li Shi, and Qiyu were left by Chen Mu, and the rest were not brought.

And the people from the Secret Bureau and the Wang Tong Bureau belong to hired killers, send everyone to Jiangnan, and then make plans.
