Chapter 35: The Secret War

At this time, it is in the afternoon, the sun is hanging obliquely in the sky, and the sun is warm, because, recently, the streets of Chang'an City are being renovated, the road surface is dug potholes, and there are many people on the street, who are stepping up the construction of the road.

Zhao Chen kept urging the horse to sit down, and galloped all the way out of the city, riding one person and one horse, which immediately attracted the people who were building the road to stop and watch, with a surprised expression on their faces.

At the city gate, a city gatekeeper who was maintaining order saw a horse galloping from a distance, and just wanted to step forward to stop it, and in broad daylight, he was riding in the street, unless you were in a hurry, otherwise, lock you up first.

However, before the city gate lang stepped forward, a team leader next to him immediately grabbed the city gate lang and whispered something, and saw the city gate lang who was just about to step forward to stop Zhao Chen, his face turned pale, and he immediately flashed to the side.

As soon as the city gatekeeper dodged away, Zhao Chen's mount sped away from front of them, leaving behind only a long series of rapid horses' hooves and a puff of smoke and dust.

Lu's grave is on a barren beach outside Chang'an City, the letter will say the address very clearly, Zhao Chen Ce rode out of the city, paused slightly, and when he identified the direction, he rushed all the way non-stop.

The grave is not difficult to find, Zhao Chen followed the direction given in the letter, urged the horse to hurry up for a while, and far away, he saw a large grave circle, and a spirit-conjuring flag stood there very eye-catching.

What attracted Zhao Chen's attention was this conjuring flag, it could be seen that this had only recently appeared in the cemetery, and the decorations on it were all still full of tails, and they had not been damaged in the slightest.

It's just that Zhao Chen looked far away, with the cemetery as the center. After looking around carefully, he was puzzled to find that there was no figure in sight within a few miles around the cemetery.

This barren beach, because of the high alkali content, is within a radius of several miles. Except for the sparse reeds, all of them are black land, and even if there are people, they can see it clearly.

His eyes were full of doubts, and he continued to move towards the graveyard until he came to the edge of the graveyard, turned over from his mount, and walked into the graveyard in confusion. Only then did I see that under the spirit flag, there was a big bluestone.

On top of the big bluestone, a small stone was used to press a letterhead, which was almost exactly the same as the envelope he had just seen in the Hou Mansion.

Seeing the letterhead on the stone, Zhao Chen's eyes suddenly flashed with anger, and then. Three or two steps came to the bluestone, and picked up the letterhead from the big bluestone. Standing there, he opened the envelope and began to read.

It's just that, after a moment's effort, Zhao Chen finished reading all the contents of the letterhead, gritted his teeth vigorously, tore the letterhead in a few clicks, turned around and strode to the mount. turned over and followed the original road again, heading straight for Chang'an City.

This letter, like the previous one, was written by the same person, but on the same letterhead as the previous one. The tone of this letter was obviously full of teasing for him.

The letter told him that this was just 'his' mistake, and the place where Zhao Chen really wanted to go was actually in the Lu family's old house, and Zhao Chen must rush to the Lu family's old house in a quarter of an hour.

A quarter of an hour is exactly the time from here to Chang'an City, and he must be fast, if he is a little slower, it will be more than a quarter of an hour.

Zhao Chen's fist made a 'rattling' sound, and his eyes flashed with a terrifying murderous aura. Although he had read the letter in a hurry, the details were still in his mind, and he found that the letter was not put up today at all.

A layer of dust fell on the envelope, which showed that the letterhead had been pressed there at least before today, waiting for Zhao Chen to open it and take a look.

Since the old eunuch left the city, he has been following Zhao Chen from a distance, not daring to get too close, for fear of being discovered.

At this time, looking at Zhao Chen from a distance, I saw Zhao Chen enter the cemetery, only a moment of effort, came out of the cemetery again, turned over the horse, and returned along the same road, slightly puzzled, so I had to follow Zhao Chen and go all the way to the city.

The old mansion of the Lu family, in Chongrenfang in Chang'an County, has been some years, and it seems that it is still the time of the previous dynasty, when Chang'an City was just built, it was built, and it has been more than ten years.

All the way to Chang'an City, under the surprised gaze on the street, he went straight to Chongrenfang.

Because, the beheading of the Lu family in Chang'an, now the old mansion of the Lu family is still empty, and the lintel of the tall vicissitudes of life is tightly closed, and it has only been a few months, and the front of the Lu family's old mansion has already shown a sense of desolation.

Turning over and dismounting, Zhao Chen came to the door of confinement, pushed the wooden door vigorously, but did not move at all, and when he bowed his head in confusion, he found that in the nose rings of the two copper heads, there was an iron general hanging at this time.

It can't be that there is no one, since those people are coming at him, even if there is no one inside, at least they will leave a little clue for themselves, just like the cemetery of the Lu family.

With his eyes at the door, he searched carefully, and finally confirmed that there were indeed no clues, so he picked up a fist-sized stone from the side of the road and slammed it on General Tie.

Those people must have a way to enter the house, but Zhao Chen didn't bother to look for it, he was holding back a lot of anger in his heart, not to mention a lock now, if he burned the Lu family's old mansion, he would not hesitate to burn it.

The stone smashed on the iron lock, only three or two times, and the lock ring was broken, and then, Zhao Chen took off the iron lock, pushed open the heavy wooden door, and walked into the Lu family's house.

Covering an area of more than ten acres of houses, there are two courtyards in and two outs, houses and pavilions, pavilions and pavilions, a sense of vicissitudes and simplicity.

Perhaps because it has not been inhabited for a few months, the yard is overgrown with wild grass, which makes this ancient mansion look desolate and has an extra layer of gloomy.

While observing the movement in the courtyard, he walked towards the hall of the house, and when he was about to reach the hall, he saw the figure of the old eunuch, who had come out of the hall.

When Zhao Chen slammed the door just now, the old eunuch had already climbed in through the wall, and now he had searched everything inside and out.

"I've seen it all, no one!" The old eunuch looked at Zhao Chen, who walked in, raised a letter in his hand and said, "But on the table in the hall, I found this letter!" ”

"Hah!" When Zhao Chen heard the old eunuch's words, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching slightly, let out a chuckle, and took the letter from the old eunuch's hand.

I already knew that this would be the result, and when I just smashed the door, I actually had a guess in my heart, since these guys could leave a letter for him in the cemetery, they must not mind leaving a letter in the old mansion.

A layer of dust fell on the envelope, indicating that the letter had been placed here a long time ago, and he sneered in his heart, and then, in front of the old eunuch, he opened it in front of the old eunuch, hurriedly swept his eyes, handed the letter to the old eunuch and said: "A quarter of an hour, rush to Liujiapo outside the city!" ”

I just came in from outside the city, and now I have to rush out of the city, although I have some fire in my heart, but I can't help it, and I continue to do what the letter tells me.

This became a game, from the moment he received the first letter, the game began, all he had to do was to complete the tasks assigned to him by the other party in order to finally unravel the mystery of the game.

The old eunuch's face turned a little pale, this coming and going, even if he was good, at this time, he was already a little unbearable, and then, no matter what, he couldn't follow Zhao Chen out of the city together.

"There's no need to follow!" Zhao Chen naturally saw the old eunuch's face, and said to the old eunuch as he walked outside: "I dare to guarantee that this trip to Liujiapo will be another trip for nothing, maybe I will have to run back to the city later!" ”

After saying this, Zhao Chen immediately turned over and got on the horse, urged the horse to whip all the way, and went straight to the outside of the city. The old eunuch could not go, but he had to go, judging from this series of arrangements, the other party was also not a simple person.

And as Zhao Chen said, on this trip to Liujiapo, he didn't even see a figure, and he still left him a letter as before, leaving an address on the letter.

As before, he must rush to the next destination within the specified time, Zhao Chen didn't say a word, stuffed the letter into his arms, and then turned over and went straight to the next destination.

The mind that was carried away by anger has gradually cooled down, and all that remains is to keep running to one destination after another to retrieve the letters left there, and in the process, the sky has quietly darkened.

But when it was almost dark, the people who were originally waiting in Chang'an City lost Zhao Chen's whereabouts, and they didn't know where Zhao Chen went!

"Missing?" At this time, in the Ganlu Palace, Li Er, the eldest grandson, and Xiangcheng were all there, and when they heard the old eunuch's reply, Li Er raised his head suddenly and asked with a surprised expression.

Throughout the afternoon, Zhao Chen was outside the city and inside the city, constantly going back and forth, Li Er had already sent several worshippers in the palace, and he had been following Zhao Chen.

However, after a few trips, several worshippers sent were tossed enough, and in the end, they had to stay in various parts of the city, waiting for Zhao Chen to appear, so that they could grasp their whereabouts at any time and deal with them.

But who knows, when it was almost dark, Zhao Chen suddenly disappeared, and after the last trip out of the city, he didn't come back at all.

When they arrived and noticed that something was wrong, and arrived at the last destination outside the city, Zhao Chen had already left.

pounced on the air, and when he wanted to find Zhao Chen again, he could find it there, and there were many ways outside the city, who knew that the next destination of those people would be there.

"Find!" Li Er slapped the table with a slap and roared angrily: "Send everyone out to me, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you will also get Chang'an Hou back for me!" ”

When the old eunuch heard this, he didn't say a word, bowed to Li Er, and then took the token given by Li Er, left the hall, and went straight to the hundred horses. (To be continued.) )
