Chapter 613: Counter-plotting
Tang Wan didn't seem to expect him to ask this, her face was a little unnatural, and then she nodded and said, "Yes, the Great Elder treats me very well, and wants to help me to the position of a saint." ”
Gu Chen almost burst out laughing when she heard this, she was a woman who had broken her body and was pregnant with a child, and she wanted to be a saint?
I'm not afraid of being found out and taken to the gods.
Tang Wan seemed to penetrate his inner thoughts, smiled bitterly, and said: "You also know that I am not finished, if I am really pushed to the position of that saint, once I am discovered, I will really die without a place to be buried, fortunately, I met you, Achen, for the sake of our past relationship, you must help me." ”
Gu Chen's eyebrows moved, not to mention that there was still some affection between them, just if they could meet in this foreign place, he would never believe that it was just a simple coincidence.
Tang Wan found him, and he must have a plan.
Now, why not follow her word and see what she wants to do.
"How can I help you?" Gu Chen asked.
Tang Wan was overjoyed, grabbed his big hand and asked, "If you are willing to help me, I know that with our old friendship, you will definitely not care about those things anymore, right?" I want to get out of here now, can you take me with you? ”
Gu Chen frowned and asked puzzledly: "If you don't want to be the saint of the Holy Maiden Sect, just confess to that elder honestly, wouldn't it be very troublesome for you to run away like this, in case they chase after you?" As you know, I'm injured right now, and I haven't brought anyone with me, there are a lot of people on the other side, and we don't know the terrain well......"
Before Gu Chen finished speaking, Tang Wan hurriedly interrupted him and said: "I am familiar with the terrain, I can take you out, we must escape, because, if that great elder knew that if I was not perfect, she would definitely kill me, she took a fancy to me at the beginning, it was because of my appearance and the standard of the saint, Ah Chen, please......"
Gu Chen was silent for a while, and finally seemed to feel compassion for her, and nodded: "Okay, then let's go now." ”
Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, looked at the bandaging place on his arm, and hesitated: "But, ...... your injury"
Gu Chen waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's all skin trauma, don't worry, let's go, no matter how late it is, you won't be able to leave." ”
Tang Wan nodded, took his arm and got out of bed, got him a coat, and made the appearance of going out for a walk.
The subordinates guarding the door didn't seem to ask much, just let them out of the room and go outside.
The climate in Miaojiang is obviously much hotter than in the east, and it is already so hot in the early summer season that people want to soak in the water every moment.
As soon as they came out of the house, they were sweating in a short way.
"Where did the firearms of the Miao Jiang people come from?" Gu Chen asked a crucial question, "After staying here for so long, I think you should know better." ”
Tang Wan's eyes flashed, but he still nodded: "I know this, it was given to them by Song Huai, when Song Huai was in the capital before, he wanted to send someone to steal your improved firecracker, and he also wanted to get the blueprints, but he failed, but he didn't know where he got the magic power, and he was stunned to steal a blueprint." ”
Although the drawing lacked key details, it was enough for him to make a better firearm than the previous ones.
"After he was sent to Huaizhou, he began to accumulate a large number of troops and make weapons, he reached a cooperation with the Miao Jiang people, he gave the Miao Jiang people a large number of firearms, as long as the Miao army can help him open the gap to the east, he can directly kill the emperor in the capital to drive the emperor out of the dragon seat, Achen, Song Huai his wolf ambition is not dead!"
Tang Wan said, with a look of concern for the country and the people on her face.
If this had been placed in the past, Gu Chen might still be able to trust her a little, but now that she has appeared in this enemy country, she is still being served with good food and drink, and she can even know such a confidential matter as Song Huai and Miao Jiang have reached an agreement, if he believes her, then he is really stupid.
"So, where did Song Huai get the money?" Gu Chen asked again, "Shouldn't it be the private property you provided him?" As I remember, you've worked together before. ”
When Tang Wan heard this, her face turned white, and then she couldn't wait to shake her head and said: "No, I have nothing to do with him since I started in the capital, I definitely didn't give him any private property, it was he who left private property, didn't you find out that there was a private firearm in Liujiazhuang when you were in the capital before?" It was later blown to the ground. ”
Gu Chen nodded.
"Do you all think that Song Xi did it? No, it was made by Song Huai, it was Song Xi's on the surface, in fact, it has always been under Song Huai's control, Song Xi was just used by him to block the gun in the end, if there is no large amount of iron ore, where does Song Xi get the raw materials to make firearms? ”
Gu Chen raised his eyebrows: "You mean, Song Huai really owns an unknown iron mine?" ”
He had always suspected the existence of an unknown iron mine, but he didn't expect it to be in Song Huai's hands?
Now that he thinks about it, when he intercepted so many of Song Huai's weapons in the valley, he didn't understand where he got these weapons from the raw materials.
After all, in Donglin, most of the mines are returned to the state, and even if they are owned by private individuals, if they are used to make weapons, they must be strictly restricted.
"Yes, and it's in Huaizhou, if Song Huai doesn't tell this secret, I'm afraid no one will know." Tang Wan looked at him with a sincere face, "Achen, look, I've told you so much, shouldn't you believe me?" Our previous grievances will be written off, okay? ”
She looked at his eyes, full of affection, and the sun fell on her eyes, as if there was light flickering.
However, Gu Chen didn't believe it at all.
Tang Wan is a woman he knows no better, ruthless, unscrupulous to achieve the goal, she is here now, and deliberately approached him, who knows what she wants to plot.
When he was in the capital, he cornered her, and he didn't believe that she didn't want revenge.
Who is Tang Wan?
That's a famous businesswoman in the east, she dominated the business world at a young age, and she didn't have the word tolerance in her bones, otherwise, she would have been gnawed by those treacherous businessmen to the point that she didn't even have scum left.
If it weren't for the overall situation, Gu Chen wanted to throw her away at this moment, and after a long time, he struggled to squeeze out a word from between his teeth: "Okay." ”
Tang Wan's face was full of surprise, and she wanted to stick it to him immediately, but Gu Chen quietly avoided it.
However, Tang Wan did not give up, in her opinion, Gu Chen was not completely emotionless for her, what he cared about was nothing more than that she had been with other men, which made him lose his face, if he didn't have affection for her, why should he care about this?
Thinking of this, she reinvigorated her spirits and led him into a hidden path, and soon they fled from the Cult of the Holy Maiden.
This way.
Qin Niang and the others rode to the south day and night, and finally arrived at the southern border to defend the city.
As soon as the guards heard that it was the marshal's wife who had arrived, they did not immediately open the city to welcome them in, but asked for a certificate, so Qin Niang handed over Gu Chen's token.
Not long after, Lin Yao personally went out of the city to greet them.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Lin Yao looked at Qin Niang's dress and asked dumbfounded.
To be honest, if it weren't for the jade pendant she had just taken out, he knew that it was indeed Gu Chen's, he really couldn't believe that the two little students in front of him were actually Qin Niang and her maid.
"I heard that my uncle is missing, and I haven't found it for a long time, my girl can't sit still, so she came over, what kind of eyes are you?" Qiu Xue looked at Lin Yao's eyes staring at them with a dissatisfied face, and said unconvinced, "How can we get in a hurry if we don't dress like this?" ”
If they wear women's clothes, I am afraid that they will encounter a lot of trouble along the way.
Now that the war is raging, the closer to the border pass, there are homeless bandits everywhere, and if they are found to be two girls, they will have to deal with those hooligans who suddenly pop out.
Although they are protected by secret guards, they are not afraid of those little rogues, but after all, it is better to delay their efforts, and it is better to have more than one thing, and wearing men's clothes naturally saves a lot of trouble.
"What Miss Qiuxue said is, I just haven't seen a woman wear men's clothes, and now it seems that it still has a bit of taste, and when I return to Beijing, I will also ask a row of sisters to wear men's clothes and sing for me." Lin Yao said, touching his chin, looking like he wanted to be wrong.
Seeing that he was still in the mood to talk to them here, Qin Niang immediately asked, "Gu Chen's whereabouts?" ”
Lin Yao patted his ass while leading them into the city: "That's not thanks to my sister-in-law, Brother Chen just came back yesterday, it seems that my sister-in-law is still lucky, and as soon as my sister-in-law comes, he will be fine." ”
As soon as Qin Niang heard that the person was okay and came back safe and sound, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the heart that hung high overnight finally fell back to the ground.
"Was he hurt then?" Qin Niang asked.
"That's all skin trauma, don't worry, this time we were deliberately created to lure the enemy, but I didn't expect someone to actually send the news back to the capital, and also labor sister-in-law to come to find someone in person, it seems that sister-in-law is really in love with Brother Chen, which is enviable." Lin Yao is really envious.
What woman is willing to run all the way from the blessed nest in the capital to look for people regardless of the hardships and dangers?
If there is no true love, who would be so desperate?
If there is such a woman to him, he will marry her home immediately, regardless of the level of her disciples.
Thinking that Gu Chen had brought someone back, his mood was extremely complicated, he looked at Qin Niang and opened his mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, I have something to tell you first." ”
Qin Niang's whole heart had already rushed to Gu Chen at this moment, where could she care about listening to what Lin Yao said, she followed Lin Yao to the Shuai Mansion quickly, and she replied absent-mindedly.
"Brother Chen, he brought someone back last night, don't be angry when you see it in a while." Although Lin Yao felt that it was a little inappropriate for Gu Chen to bring people back, he didn't want their husband and wife to fall out of harmony because of this.
