The war horse carried Chen Che's messenger to Lu Shi's house, in front of the door, the messenger jumped down, and at first glance it was a well-trained person, Wang Jian handed over the war horse to San Lang, who greeted him, and directly took the messenger into the courtyard.

The first time he entered King Chuang's courtyard, the messenger was still very nervous, Wang Jian felt it, and whispered while leading the way: "King Chuang is a very easy-going person, don't be nervous, as long as you tell everything you know truthfully, there will be absolutely nothing, maybe you can still get a treat from King Chuang." ”

"Really?" What a great honor it was for the messenger to tremble at that time, and if that were the case, he would have been able to boast in front of his brothers for years.

Don't dare to squeak, with a nervous psychology followed Wang Jianwang to the room, along the way did not see the legendary barriers, nor did I see the legendary palace maids and eunuchs shuttling back and forth, not to mention the strict houses in the forbidden house, but it was just an ordinary small courtyard, at this time I saw an old woman with two women in strong clothes, holding a basket and one or two trays to go to the upper room, was surprised, Wang Jian paused, bent down to salute: "Grandma hasn't slept yet?" ”

The messenger was startled, the only person who can be called grandma here is the rumored King Chuang's godmother, shouldn't this old lady be hugging before and out, and she is extremely majestic to everyone?

When she was stunned, the old lady turned her head and saw that it was Wang Jian, so she smiled and said, "The child is back, has someone picked it up?" The voice was full of kindness and peace, which was fundamentally different from the legend in Tongguan.

"Grandma, someone is coming, I'm going up to the house to get it, what are you doing here?"

"Hey, it's not, I heard your teacher talking to Wu Tao's nephew in the middle of the night, this busy must be another night, so I took my two daughters to make some supper."

"Where's my sister?" Wang Jian asked in surprise.

"Oh, my girl is a little lazy, so let her sleep." Seeing Wang Jian's confused appearance, he smiled and said: "You don't understand, you, just be busy with you, hurry up, take someone to the upper room, or your teacher should be in a hurry." ”

This conversation completely confused the messenger's head, didn't it mean that King Chuang had already entered the original Qin Palace? Doesn't it say that the Qin Palace's mansion is splendid, and even the tiles on the house are made of gold? It's not that after King Chuang entered the Qin Palace, he no longer manages the government, but lives in the palace that I don't know where it is, and drinks and has fun all day long, there are three thousand maids and beauties, and there are tens of thousands of eunuchs and eunuchs.

Doesn't it mean that King Chuang has three meals a day, with hundreds of dishes per meal, and the supper is also full of luxury, and has reached the point of drinking human milk and eating human flesh?

How is this different from the legend? Why is the gap so big?

When he was confused, he suddenly felt that his sleeve was being pulled, so he quickly retracted his mind and subconsciously asked: "This little brother, is this really King Chuang's mansion?" ”

Wang Jian replied very puzzled: "Yes, what's the matter, do you have any questions?" ”

"It's gone, it's gone." The messenger was suddenly trembling with excitement, and could scarcely help himself.

"Then what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and go back to King Chuang and Wu Shangshu."

was dragged by Wang Jian, and the messenger came back to his senses and followed Wang Jianwang, who had already gone up the steps.

Wang Jian didn't report the door, but directly lifted the curtain and said inside: "Teacher, the messenger has brought it." Then he turned back to the messenger who followed closely behind him and urged: "Come in quickly, King Chuang and Wu Shangshu are waiting." ”

The messenger took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart, and opened his mouth to sign up, but was pushed in by Wang Jian: "Hurry up, why are you so grinding?" ”

The messenger was pushed by Wang Jian, and the foot was mixed on the threshold without paying attention, and he staggered a few steps into the house, but after all, he still passed through the battlefield, and he stabilized his body in just a few steps, and looked up, a small room, simple furniture, not exquisite at all, even the hall of a few merchants in Tongguan that he had been to couldn't catch up, a square table against the wall, on which was covered with a map he was familiar with, on both sides of the square table, a person dressed as a scribe, was talking with Wu Tao's head to head on it, From time to time, I also took out a letter and compared it with the map.

His footsteps alarmed the man dressed as a scribe, and when he raised his head, his originally serious expression immediately became cheerful and gentle, with a faint smile: "You are the messenger sent by Brother Chen Che, come, come, come, I have a lot of things I don't understand, please explain." ”

When asked, the messenger was overwhelmed and did not know whether to bow or to step forward.

Wu Tao turned around and said impatiently: "King Chuang asked you to come over, hurry up and answer the doubts of King Chuang and me, what are you standing there for?" ”

"King Chuang? Are you the king? Are you really the king? The messenger murmured even more fearfully.

Lu Shi straightened up and laughed: "What? Aren't you from the Old Eighth Team? The people of the old eighth team all know me, come on, new brother, let's get to know each other, my name is Lu Shi, that is, your king Chuang, what is your name? ”

This messenger is really not a veteran of the old eighth team, he was promoted from the local garrison when the Zhennan Army was reorganized, because he also fought a few times with the local poles and landlords' armed forces, Chen Che saw that he was clever and brave, so he received it by his side by chance, and entrusted him with trust, so he made this messenger.

But in his heart, in Tongguan I don't know who spread it, not only the current King Chuang is no longer like the original gang of simple and peaceful, but also has the whole Shaanxi chassis, becoming arrogant and lascivious, some things are also spread with noses and eyes, it has caused a lot of shock in the hearts of the army and the people, and I don't know why, as the guard of Tongguan Chen Che, is not too concerned about this rumor, when there is no report from the sergeant, he waved his hand generously: "The rumors stop at the wise, and the people of the King Chuang know that we old people know, Chew your tongue and let them chew it, and sooner or later everyone will know the truth of the matter. "Just let it go gently.

This time, I really saw King Chuang's mansion, I really saw King Chuang, and it was really like General Chen Che said, King Chuang's style is really different from the rumors. ”

"I've seen King Chuang." At this time, the messenger retracted his cranky thoughts and performed a standard military salute to Lu Shi, the king of Chuang.

Lu Shi smiled and beckoned to him, "Come over quickly, and show us how Li Zicheng came over this time." ”

Taking a deep breath, the messenger strode forward, walked to the table, and looked at the map on the table, which was a map of Tongguan, which marked his Tongguan troops and the situation of friends and enemies, but if he looked closely, it was also a little different from what he saw in General Chen Che's mansion.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Wu Tao asked with a frown.
