Chapter 35: Friend or Foe?

Previously, because Zhao Chen was asleep, the window lattices on the second floor had been closed, so at this time, the people outside couldn't see the inside at all, but the people inside saw the outside clearly.

Hearing the sudden sound from downstairs outside, Zhao Chen and Wuxin, almost at the same time, got up and ran to the front of the window lattice and looked downstairs.

At this time, when I looked down the window lattice, I saw five or six Japanese people standing downstairs in the Fukuji number, led by a Japanese woman wearing a white cherry blossom kimono.

These people, naturally, are no one else, they are the group that came to Liaodong City with Yuan Gai Suwen yesterday evening, but at this time, they suddenly ran to Fuzi for some reason.

Moreover, as soon as he opened his mouth, he directly named him and asked about Zhao Chen!

"How would they know!" Wuxin stood next to Zhao Chen, and when he looked at the few Japanese people downstairs, his eyes were already narrowed, like poisonous snakes, exuding a cold gaze.

"I don't know!" Zhao Chen's eyebrows were also slightly furrowed at this time, these Japanese people came suddenly, and I don't know if it was an illusion, Zhao Chen always felt that these people were coming for him.

"Look for death!" Wuxin is responsible for Zhao Chen's safety, at this time, it is in a place like Liaodong City, and there is no room for a little mistake at all, hearing Zhao Chen shake his head and deny it, Wuxin immediately moved to kill the people downstairs.

"Don't act rashly just yet!" In the corner of Zhao Chen's eyes, he suddenly saw Wuxin turn around, and immediately grabbed Wuxin's robe sleeve with force, frowned at Wuxin and said, "They may not be sure that I am here, let Ah Fu deal with it first!" ”

At this time, the entire Liaodong was looking for Zhao Chen, as the largest city in Liaodong, especially the heavily guarded, it was the most dangerous place in Liaodong.

The Goguryeo people would not have thought that Zhao Chen would hide under their noses, so Zhao Chen did not believe that a Japanese who suddenly appeared in Liaodong City would know his whereabouts.

was stopped by Zhao Chen, his unintentional eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and then, he sighed at Zhao Chen, so he had to move to the window lattice again, and looked downstairs with vigilant eyes.

At this time, when Zhao Chen was talking to Wuxin, Zhu Fu, who was already guarding the lobby downstairs, had already come out from inside, arched his hand at several Japanese people outside, and said: "Zhu is the shopkeeper here, I don't know what a few people are doing here?" ”

The woman in her early twenties, who is about to be in her early twenties, is not beautiful, but there is always an indescribable flattery in her gestures, as if she is deliberately seducing others.

At this time, seeing Zhu Fu coming out of it, the woman of the Japanese country suddenly chuckled, looked at Zhu Fu and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhu is a shop here, naturally I am waiting to come, just for business!" ”

When these words fell, seeing that Zhu Fu was still standing there, without the slightest intention of inviting them in, the woman of the Wa Kingdom looked at Zhu Fu again, and said with a coquettish smile: "Could it be that the shopkeeper Zhu likes to let guests talk about business outside?" ”

"A few inside, please!" Knowing that he couldn't shirk it, Zhu Fu suddenly sighed lightly in his heart, and then, turning to the side slightly, he made a gesture of invitation to several Japanese people, and said.

"Thank you!" Seeing that Zhu Fu finally turned sideways, the woman of the Wa Kingdom suddenly bent deeply at Zhu Fu, and when she spoke, she stepped on small broken steps and followed Zhu Fu into the Fu number.

It's just that the few ronins who originally came with the women of the Japanese Kingdom were like clay sculptures, and they saw the women of the Japanese Kingdom enter the lobby, but they still stood motionless outside.

"I wonder what business the guests want to talk about?" At this time, in the lobby of the Fu brand, Zhu Fu waited until the Japanese woman sat down, then looked at the Japanese woman and asked.

"Huge!" Hearing Zhu Fu's words, a charming smile suddenly appeared on the face of the woman in front of her, her eyes looked at the lobby of the Fu brand, and she said in a fluttering tone: "However, before this, the shopkeeper Zhu doesn't want to know, my identity?" ”

When she said this, the woman of the Japanese Kingdom had been looking at all parts of the lobby, especially the stairs leading to the attic in the lobby, but when this sentence fell, her eyes had already stopped on Zhu Fu's face.

A round cheek, red lips and white teeth, two lips as if they had just been dyed with blood, reflecting a striking red, a pair of watery eyes, looking at Zhu Fushi, revealing a kind of bewitching confusion.

Legend has it that in the Wa Kingdom, there is a special teaching to women how to obtain the charm of men, and the Wa woman in front of her is obviously specially trained in this area.

Zhu Fu is now thirty-five or sixteen, and half of his life has passed, especially when he has stayed in Liaodong City in the past two years, it can be regarded as having seen a lot of women.

However, at this moment, when Zhu Fu's gaze and the gaze of the Japanese woman in front of him came into contact with each other, his mind was still slightly shaken at that moment.

Then, it suddenly flashed in his mind that Zhao Chen, who was on the second floor at this time, was also listening to the movement downstairs, and his mind that had just been confused suddenly cooled down.

"I'm sorry, we've never been interested in the identity of guests!" Raised his sleeves and wiped it vigorously, the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, Zhu Fu's gaze, trying not to make eye contact with the Japanese woman, opened his mouth apologetically in his words.

"That's a good rule!" Seeing Zhu Fu, who was still holding the shelf just now, in a moment, he showed an embarrassment under his charm, and the woman of the Japanese Kingdom suddenly smiled and said: "However, it doesn't hurt to tell you, we are the Tang envoys sent by the emperor to the Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Send Tang envoys?" As soon as the Japanese woman said this, not only Zhu Fu downstairs, but also Zhao Chen and Wuxin upstairs at this moment, raised their heads in surprise, glanced at each other, and both showed surprised expressions.

Zhu Fu's surprise was surprised by the identity of the woman in front of him, because, since there was an envoy from the Japanese State and went to the Central Plains Dynasty, he had never heard of a woman as an envoy among the envoys.

And after Zhao Chen heard the words of the Japanese woman, almost instantaneously in his mind, he remembered that Hui Ri, who 'committed suicide' in the prison of the Criminal Department that day.

At the beginning, Hui Ri 'committed suicide', at first they thought that Hui Ri couldn't bear such humiliation in Datang, so they chose to commit suicide in anger!

But later facts proved that Hui Ri's suicide had another hidden reason, but in fact, someone wanted to use Hui Ri's suicide to come over and make things difficult for Zhao Chen at that time.

It's just that for a while, they couldn't find out the person behind the manipulation, but they could probably guess that it would be a person with a very high status in the Wa Kingdom.

At this time, hearing the words of the Japanese woman below, Zhao Chen suddenly frowned slightly after being surprised, there is no doubt that this Japanese woman downstairs is the person behind the scenes they guessed.

And at this time, just when Zhao Chen and Wuxin were looking at each other upstairs, Zhu Fu's puzzled voice downstairs also came from below: "When Liaodong City arrives at the coast, you need to go around in a circle, how can the envoy and others arrive in Liaodong City?" ”

Zhu Fu's doubts, in fact, are also Zhao Chen's doubts, since yesterday evening, seeing these Japanese people appear in Liaodong City, Zhao Chen was a little puzzled, how could they make a detour to Liaodong City.

"It's easy!" Hearing Zhu Fu's question, the woman of the Japanese Kingdom suddenly looked up, the wooden staircase leading to the attic in the lobby, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and she said in a coquettish tone: "Naturally, it is for Marquis Zhao!" ”

Although the words of the woman of the Japanese Kingdom were full of coquettishness, she seemed extremely sure in her words, as if she already knew that Zhao Chen was in the attic at this time.

Hearing the words of the Japanese woman, the look on Zhu Fu's face couldn't help but change slightly, and he just wanted to open his mouth to deny it.

However, what he didn't expect was that at this moment, Zhao Chen's voice came from above: "Since the special trip is for Benhou, then you might as well come up and see it!" ”

"What do you call it?" At this time, in the elegant room on the second floor, Zhao Chen sat behind a low table, looked at the Japanese woman who was brought up by Zhu Fu, frowned slightly, and asked.

"Marquis Zhao can call me Gardenia!" As soon as she walked into the attic and saw Zhao Chen sitting behind a short table, the coquettishness on her face became even more obvious.

Hearing Zhao Chen's inquiry, Gardenia suddenly rushed at Zhao Chen, folded his hands on his abdomen, bowed deeply, and when he raised his head, he smiled coquettishly and spoke.

"Gardenia, but I met my brother Cheng Chumo at sea?" Regarding the coquettishness on the face of the Japanese woman in front of him, Zhao Chen directly ignored the past, and then, when Gardenia stood up, he asked bluntly.

"Marquis Zhao is really smart!" When Gardenia heard Zhao Chen's words, there was no expression of surprise on his face, he smiled at Zhao Chen, sat opposite Zhao Chen by himself, and said with a smile: "It is precisely because I met that General Cheng at sea that Gardenia suddenly changed her attention and came to Liaodong City!" ”

"So, my brother asked you to come to Liaodong?" Hearing the explanation of the Japanese woman, the corners of Zhao Chen's mouth suddenly twitched, and he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but on the surface, he still looked at Gardenia lightly and asked.

"That's right!" When Gardenia heard this, she immediately covered her lips and chuckled, winked at Zhao Chen's charming, and said, "Now Marquis Zhao, you should understand the purpose of Gardenia coming to Liaodong City!" ”

"Understood!" Hearing Gardenia's words, Zhao Chen nodded suddenly, and then, looking at Gardenia, he suddenly asked: "It's just that there is one thing that I don't understand, why did Gardenia and Yuangai Suwen suddenly come to Liaodong City together?" ”

"Coincidence!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Gardenia, who originally showed a charming smile, suddenly stiffened significantly with a smile on his face, and then, his eyes met Zhao Chen's gaze, and he smiled a little reluctantly.
