Di Renjie quietly watched Wu Ning go away, and inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.

"Take back everything that belongs to him...."

Di Renjie knew deeply that Wu Ning's words were by no means false.

As long as he thought, with this almost demonic existence, anything was possible.

However, how to get it is debatable.

At least in Di Renjie's view, throughout the ages, if the prince seizes the throne and takes the throne at the grassroots, there will be an unscrupulous power struggle, and it will also stain the imperial capital with blood and implicate the world.

Thinking of this, Di Renjie couldn't help but shudder, and he began to waver, wondering whether Wu Ning's return was right or wrong.

In fact, this bloody storm has already begun, and the first person to sacrifice it has surfaced.

Cen Changqian!

This upright and loyal minister was sold by Wu Ning lightly.

Although, under the current situation, only Cen Changqian has the ability to buy time for Da Zhou; Although, Di Renjie also knows this truth very well, and he is irrefutable.

However, Cen Changqian was pushed out by Wu Ning like this, and Di Renjie still couldn't accept it.

He still can't accept that the boy who talked about heroes and brazenly compared with him on the mountain road has become such an unscrupulous means today.

So, then again, has Wu Ning really changed? Is it really beginning to be unscrupulous, whether loyal or innocent, it can be calculated, and it can be used with confidence?

Did he forget his heart? Forgot that he talked about the party's struggle for the people's suffering, and despised the court and the court's ministers for fighting and ignoring others?

Perhaps, the truth is not what Di Renjie sees.

......

——————————

Let's say, Cen Changqian returned to the mansion worriedly.

Looking up, but seeing the plaque of Cen Mansion hanging high on the lintel, the old man shook his head and sighed, "Cen Mansion...... As soon as the old man leaves, I am afraid that the fortunes of the Cen family will also be lost. ”

This trip to the Turks can be described as nine deaths, once he dies, how can the Cen family still gain a foothold in this god capital?

When I entered the door, the servant came forward, "The master is back, can I eat?" ”

Cen Changqian was stunned for a moment, thoughtful, "Then let's eat....."

While taking off his court clothes, he instructed the servants, "Call all the family members over and eat together!" ”

......

In the past, in addition to the New Year's Festival, dozens of members of the Cen family used their own rooms when it was time to eat.

Today, the old man wanted to eat together, and at first the servants still had doubts, but they didn't dare to ask more, so they had to do it.

After a while, a large family gathered in the hall and had a meal with the old man.

During the banquet, Cen Changqian was no different, everything was as usual.

It's just that I accidentally mentioned that I would go out of Beijing on an errand in a few days, and instructed a few children and grandchildren to guard the lintel and abide by the family style.

The old man's five sons didn't think much about it, just regarded it as an ordinary errand, responded in unison, and wished the old father a smooth journey, early departure and early return.

A family banquet passed in a peaceful atmosphere.

After dinner, when I returned to the room, only the old man and his wife were left, and Cen Changqian told the truth about the envoy to the Turks and the dangerous situation to his wife.

When the old wife heard it, her tears fell like rain, like a great disaster.

The old man brushed his wife's shoulder and persuaded: "I, Cen Changqian, have been an official for half my life, this is also a destination, what is there to cry about?" ”

"Tell you the truth now, it's not for you to cry and cry."

The old wife cried for a while, and listened to the old man's persuasion, knowing that this time it was a catastrophe, but it was more dangerous than when she was imprisoned by Wu Chenghei seven years ago.

sobbed, "The old body knows.... The old body knows ......"

"From the day I married into the Cen family, the old man knew that sooner or later his husband would be loyal to the country."

"It's good to know...."Old Man Cen was very relieved, "I have a wife, and I don't want anything in this life." ”

After hearing this, the old wife barely wiped away her tears, and her expression gradually became abrupt, "Say, what does the old man have to explain, the old man listens." ”

"Hmm." Cen Changqian nodded, "If I really don't go back, the family will all depend on you." ”

"Remember! You must appease the juniors, and don't embarrass Your Majesty. ”

"If Your Majesty has a generous gift, you can receive it except for being an official."

"Then don't stay in Beijing for long, sell your house, and take your family back to your hometown!"

"In the future, if the juniors in the family have talents, they can also teach carefully, but they can't rush to respond. Look at current affairs, when Wu Chengsi loses power, and when will they go out to serve the country. ”

"Remember?"

"Hmm!" The old wife nodded heavily, "Write it down." ”

......

As the husband and wife were talking, the servant outside the door came to report, "Master, someone from Jingzhou's hometown is here." ”

"Huh?" Cen Changqian was suspicious, how could he talk about his hometown, and someone from his hometown came?

Moreover, it was already dark at this time, but it was out of place.

However, no matter what, since it is claimed that it is from Jingzhou, his hometown, he can't say anything and can't shut the door, but he wants to see it.

Cen Changqian had to put aside the conversation with his old wife for the time being, and welcomed guests in the main hall.

As a result, it was really someone from his hometown, and he was not a distant relative, but a nephew and nephew of his uncle's branch - Cen Yun.

......

The Cen family is also a Jiangdong family, and Cen Changqian's uncle Cen Wenwen was also the prime minister when he was Taizong.

In Jingzhou's hometown, there is a deep family tradition and many clansmen.

As Cen Wenwen's grandson, Cen Yan has been in charge of the Cen family in Jingzhou for many years, but now he suddenly entered Beijing, but he didn't even inform him, which made Old Man Cen very puzzled.

"Why are you here? Without prior notice? ”

Cen Yun saw the ceremony and explained: "There happened to be a batch of Dongting aquatic products in the family industry to enter Beijing by water, and the little nephew was not at ease, so he personally escorted him and visited his uncle by the way." ”

When Cen Changqian heard this, she frowned. His hometown has preferred business all these years, and he knows it.

Originally, the Shum family should not be involved in these business profits. However, now that the general trend of Wu and Zhou Xingshang is like this, even Princess Taiping and King Li Wu have blatantly started business, and the old man is not a pedantic person, so he will go.

However, Dongting Aquatic Products??

Who in the Great Zhou Dynasty doesn't know that the aquatic products and transportation from Dongting Lake to the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River belong to the gang force that is half a merchant and half a bandit.

Cen Yun got a large number of commercial goods from there, and nine times out of ten they were inseparable from that platoon gang.

"You—" the old man's face grew cold, "You won't have anything to do with the Pai Gang again, will you?" ”

"Hey, hey, hey." Cen Yan knew that his uncle didn't like these black and white, so he smirked perfunctorily.

Not to mention this, the little nephew and uncle had a sad face. How? Is there a problem with the DPRK? ”

"Alas!" Cen Changqian sighed, and did not hide it from Cen Yan, and directly told the matter of the envoy.

......

"The old man is going to be more auspicious and less auspicious, and when the Cen family is gone, only your eldest brother Cen Xian and second brother Cen Xi are left in the court. But be careful, and don't act in vain. ”

When Cen Yan heard this, he lamented: "In this way, it is indeed dangerous for my uncle to go. ”

"It just so happens that the little nephew brought a few good players this time, so he went with his uncle, and at the critical moment, he may be able to take care of everything."

"Heh....." Cen Changqian listened to the music.

The two countries are fighting each other, and even the Yulin Forbidden Army appointed by His Majesty to escort them is not enough, what is the use of you sending the old man a few homes to protect the courtyard?

However, Cen Yan is still quite stubborn, so he has to send it.

Cen Changqian couldn't twist it, so he had to respond.

"Alright, you can bring someone here!"

"Ugh." Cen Yan was embarrassed, "I can't bring this, everyone lives outside the city." ”

"Seven days later, my uncle will go north of the city, and the little nephew will let them go to see my uncle by themselves."

“......”

Cen Changqian was speechless, why is the nursing home still mysterious?

......

————————

Not much to say, seven days in the blink of an eye.

Wu Zetian Jin named Wu Yanxiu as the king of Huaiyang, and the holy decree of the Turks to marry a foreign princess had already been issued to the court.

On the day of departure, the old lady personally ordered 3,000 feathers to escort her, and Cen Changqian, the right minister of Wenchang, accompanied her to the north.

I saw that the swords and soldiers were like a forest, the horses were like a stream, and the team of people and horses went out of Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and headed north.

On the official road to the north, Wu Yanxiu was placed in the brigade, freshly dressed and angry, like a mourning woman.

Right!!

It's like a mourner, he can't wait to kill his father immediately!

In this way, his non-human Lao Tzu will also break the sweet dream of the prince, and he will not have to go to the Turks to die.

Glancing back at Cen Changqian, who was sitting in the car, Wu Yanxiu's face was embarrassed, and after thinking about it again and again, he finally reined in the horse stiffness, slowed down the horse, and ran parallel to Old Man Cen's carriage.

"Cen Xiang...."

Through the car curtain, Wu Yanxiu called softly.

"Huh??" Old Man Cen didn't even bother to lift the curtain of the car, and replied indifferently: "Is there something wrong with King Huaiyang?" ”

"This...."

Wu Yanxiu made a mistake: "This is more than lucky, and the two of us can be said to be connected by the same fate." ”

"When the time comes, just in case... In case of distress, please also ask Cen Xiangding to distinguish between public and private and give more support. ”

“！！！！”

The beard that the old man listened to was crooked, what is this called!? Are you so tasteless to me like your old man?

Is there a clear distinction between public and private?

Suppress his anger, "His Royal Highness the King of Huaiyang, don't worry, the old man is an envoy to the country, and he is doing the errand of the Great Zhou court, so naturally he does not dare to forget his official duties and act loyally." ”

"But..."

"But the old man also reminded King Huaiyang, you and I are both Great Zhou, and at the critical moment, it is inevitable to sacrifice oneself to become benevolent."

"Your Highness is still more open, without losing a kind of relief."

“......”

Wu Yanxiu made a fuss, and scolded secretly in his heart, look at your old thing, I don't believe that you are really not afraid of death! When the time comes, the knife and axe will be added, I see if you are still hard!?

Just thinking about it, I saw dozens of strong men holding swords on the official road, blocking the way.

"Bold, on the side of the divine capital, the imperial envoy's guard of honor, who dares to block the way?"

The advance guards have already called the number.

I saw a young man of about thirty years old walking among the roadblockers, carrying a long sword with a sheath in his hand, and he had no intention of using it.

He said calmly: "Don't panic this soldier, I'm waiting for the guards hired by Prime Minister Cen Xiang's family to escort my master to the north." ”

When the soldiers heard this, they took a good look at the group, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they had to turn around and report it.

And Cen Changqian remembered that Cen Yun did seem to have found a few guards for him.

Nodding in response: "This is indeed the case, let them go with the team!" ”

Wu Yanxiu on the side looked at it, "Hmph! Deng Shi scoffed at it, and it was extremely contemptuous.

It seems that he is not afraid of death, no, it is not much better, right? Even their own nursing home is out of the house.

Hit the horse and move forward, and don't talk much to Cen Changqian.

And when the dozens of private guards entered the brigade and Cen Changqian drove around, the old man lifted the curtain and took a good look at this group of private guards.

Just look at it.....

"Huh?"

Cen Changqian was taken aback, and secretly said in his heart, this group of people.... It's not easy!

......

The old man doesn't know martial arts, but he knows how to look at people, no matter how they look and temperament, they don't look like ordinary guards.

Moreover, the appearance is also very strange, among the several people at the head, the first one is a Taoist priest, who is in his thirties, holding a sword in his arms. Immediately, his eyes were empty.

The bright armor of the Imperial Forbidden Army in front and behind seemed to be nothing in the eyes of this Taoist priest.

The second is also a young man in his thirties, with a knife hanging from his waist and a smile on the corner of his mouth, which seems to be nothing special.

However, a discerning person can see at a glance that this person is a ruthless character, and there is always a bit of ruthlessness hidden in his smile.

Behind, there was a younger man, only in his early twenties, but the man before he had a more fierce look in his eyes.

No! That's not ruthless, it's murderous!!

This young man's murderous aura was almost to the point where he couldn't hide it, and even the forbidden soldiers who were close to him subconsciously avoided him.

Cen Changqian looked back, among the dozens of people, there were three people who were not simple.

A handsome young man, with a long soldier on his back, wrapped in cloth, but from the appearance of it, it should be a spear.

One of the smallest, perhaps less than twenty, carries a double knife, which is also like a torchlight.

The strangest thing is a strong man, this man has no sword or sword, and his body is very great, but he has a kitchen knife pinned to his waist.....

"You guys.... Is it the guard Cen Yan found?? ”

The old man couldn't help but ask.

"Exactly!" It was still the person who negotiated with the soldiers before who replied, but it was quite respectful: "Guarding Cen Xiangye all the way." ”

"Oh." Cen Changqian nodded, "You can have a name, report it to the old man." ”

"Back to Cen Xiang, how can the people in the rivers and lakes have any names, if Cen Xiang has an order, call Qilang is it."

As soon as the words fell, the Taoist priest headed back to the horse, which was regarded as a salute, "Just call me a Taoist priest." ”

......

"In Shimohachiro."

......

"Cen Xiang only remembers, a certain name is the old eleven."

......

"Uncle Tai."

......

"Cook."

......

“......”

Old Man Cen was speechless for a while, closed the car curtain, shook his head and smiled bitterly, the cook, the Taoist priest ......

What is this?

The old man didn't understand the rivers and lakes, of course he didn't know what Taoist priests and cooks were.

But he didn't know that in order to protect his thoughtfulness, the master of the Long Road Dart Game almost poured out.

Among the ten masters of Shuzhong, in addition to the fat Shura and the scholar who accompanied Wu Ning, the prostitute Wu Qiaoer was in the Guanning Teaching Workshop, and the account room was in charge of the General Dart Bureau, and the remaining six people were all around.

......

Wu Ning cheated Cen Changqian, that was because the envoy to the Turks was none other than Cen Changqian, this was the first step in all his plans, and it must be foolproof.

However, he did not forget his original intention, and he did not treat everyone as pawns because of his hatred.

This time, he fought with all his strength, using all the power that could be used by the Long Road Dart Bureau, and he also wanted to ensure that Cen Changqian returned safely.

......

——————————

At the same time, in the private room of the Yueyue Building, Princess An Le was pestering Wu Ning and Wu Qi to ask questions.

"Brother Li, what about them? Where did they go? ”

"What is Brother Ning going to do? Can my little sister help you? ”

"You don't know, this palace has a lot of power now!"

"Say it! Who is Brother Ning going to kill!? ”

.....

Wu Ning upstairs had a headache, and in front of the door of the Yueyue Tower, Princess Taiping slowly got out of the car.

Gao Yanfu wasted all his strength, and finally found out that Shuzhong Muzi would come to Invite Yue Tower, and the qualified princess Mansion Governor Shi forcibly dragged Her Royal Highness the princess to Invite Yue Lou to meet by chance.

And Princess Taiping couldn't help frowning as soon as she got out of the car, she saw Li Bao'er's black horse.

Xin said: "Why is this little girl here?" ”

......
