Empress Dowager Mu nodded, glanced at Chen Kai lovingly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The mourning family has always been doing one thing. ”

Chen Kaizhi knew that Empress Dowager Mu had something to say, so he listened patiently.

"These days, the mourning family flatters the Queen Mother, trying their best not to conflict with her, in addition to wanting to protect you secretly and make you recuperate, they will check in the palace to find out what the Queen Mother's eyes and ears are in the palace."

Saying that, Empress Dowager Mu couldn't help but sigh deeply, rubbed her forehead with her fingers, and then continued to speak lightly.

"Kaizhi, think about it, the Empress Dowager returned to Luoyang City from Ganquan Palace, and arranged such a big situation, but Luoyang Palace should be unfamiliar to her, if she wants to plan and layout, she is bound to contact the foreign court at any time in this palace, but who will be responsible for the contact?" Empress Dowager Mu frowned slightly, with suspicion in her eyes, and gave Chen Kaizhi a detailed analysis.

"The people in Wanshou Palace are naturally her henchmen, but there are not many people who can enter and leave the palace forbidden, after all, the Empress Dowager rarely showed up a few days ago, and she has been very low-key, so who is it...... Keep in touch with the Empress Dowager and foreign dynasties at any time? ”

"In addition, although the Empress Dowager is in Wanshou Palace, she always seems to know everything about the outside world, and who is it that sends the latest news to the Empress Dowager?"

Empress Dowager Mu sighed and looked at Chen Kaizhi deeply, her eyes full of worry: "The mourning family has been screening in the palace, but the more you check, the more frightened you are." ”

Chen Kaizhi saw that Mrs. Mu was worried, and couldn't help asking: "What, who is involved?" ”

"It's not who is involved." Empress Dowager Mu shook her head: "In this palace, when it comes to honorable people, there are only three, one is Your Majesty, one is the Empress Dowager, and the other is the mourning family, as for the others, to put it bluntly, they are just slaves, even those concubines are just a group of caged birds, so if anyone is involved, the mourning family is not surprised, and they don't care, slaves are slaves, and they can't turn the sky; The real terrible thing is that the mourning family spent months of hard work, but it found nothing, the access control in the palace is extremely strict, anyone entering and leaving, there are records, even if the eunuch goes out to buy or go on business, they also need to be checked, but the mourning family still did not find this person. ”

Chen Kaizhi instantly understood the thoughts of the queen mother, and the source of all terror came from the unknown.

It's like why people are afraid of the night, because in the night, there are indisputable things, and no one knows what is hidden in the darkness, so there is fear.

Chen Kaizhi knew that now Empress Dowager Mu was like a lost person in the night, he was very worried and frightened, so he couldn't help but speak lightly to comfort Empress Dowager Mu.

"The Empress Dowager has been planning for more than ten years, so she naturally has her means, and if it is easily found out, it will be strange. What Erchen is most worried about is what the purpose of the Empress Dowager is, and until now, Erchen still has not found the Empress Dowager's rules. ”

"yes." Empress Dowager Mu nodded, there were countless worries in her heart, she was considered to have the supreme power of this Da Chen, but she couldn't find out who the Empress Dowager's henchmen were, which made her particularly uneasy.

Therefore, she couldn't help pursing her lips and sighed: "It's not just you, it's the mourning family, and it's also her daughter-in-law, when she entered the palace, she got along with her for nearly 20 years, and so far, I can't guess her." ...... year The first emperor, that is, when your father was alive, mentioned the empress dowager, and always looked preoccupied, the mourning family felt that the first emperor should know something, but unfortunately, he was a filial son, and some things were inconvenient to say. ”

Not only him, but also the officials of the entire Great Chen Dynasty didn't know what the Empress Dowager was planning, which made people very uncomfortable.

Chen Kaizhi sighed deeply, and then smiled at the Empress Dowager Mu: "In any case, when that Wuji returns to the court, at least some of the Empress Dowager's intentions can be roughly confirmed." It's just a waste of energy to worry about now, and the queen mother should not think about these things for now, and we will naturally know later. We'll see. ”

When Empress Dowager Mu heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and she smiled bitterly again and again: "That Wuji, can you really return to the court?" ”

"We'll see." When it comes to Wuji, Chen Kaizhi always feels weird, which reminds him of an old man, thinking of that Wuji, Chen Kaizhi can't help but miss the days when there was no struggle.

It's just that he knows that the old man can never be the prince of Wuji, and he can't connect the prince with the original beggar.

……………

Meng Jin official road.

A horse-drawn carriage was speeding forward, without any guards.

In the front of the carriage, there were two men, although they were coachmen, but they looked extremely burly, and the people in the carriage were tightly covered in the carriage, and the wheels of the carriage were extremely fast because of the speed, and the bumps were extremely bumpy, but the coachman did not care, and still galloped on the horse.

Not far away, it is Mengjin.

After Mengjin, you can arrive at Luoyang.

The road was full of wind and dust, especially at this time in the bitter cold winter, the eyebrows and eyes of the two coachmen had condensed frost.

Along the official road, I turned a mountain col, and suddenly, the sound of the sound of the dwarp sounded.

A feathered arrow burst out of the air, and with a thud, it sank straight into the carriage.

There seemed to be no awareness or defense in the carriage, but the coachman was Herod's reined in the horse.

The carriage slammed, and then the carriage stopped, falling into a deathly silence.

Lin Mang nearby, under this sunlight, began to appear a dazzling cold light.

The gold and iron refracted into the sunlight and emitted a harsh light.

Subsequently, countless people began to appear on the official road, and in front of them, there seemed to be a rush of fast horses.

The horse team came head-on, and in the mountains and forests on both sides, countless soldiers showed their figures, and after that, they were outflanked sergeants.

The well-trained military horses, in an instant, actually surrounded the carriage.

The two coachmen looked expressionless towards the heavily armed horse team opposite, with only a dagger at their waists, and nothing else.

The horse team stepped forward slowly, the first one, and laughed: "The last general, Chen Zhixin, is the general of Mengjin, and he is ordered to come to greet the prince of Wuji." ”

There was not the slightest movement in the carriage, but at this time, the air seemed to be stagnant.

Chen Zhixin smiled, like a cat playing with a mouse, and said jokingly: "Why doesn't Your Highness come out to see it, the last general has long heard that His Royal Highness is the only son of the first emperor, and the last general has always revered the first emperor, and today I really want to see the blood of the first emperor." ”

The carriage, in the midst of the cold wind, the horses in front of it, neighing and roaring in a low voice, still did not move.

Chen Zhixin's eyes turned cold, and suddenly, he was full of murderous energy: "What, is Your Highness looking down on the last general?" Scold...... What kind of prince, I, Chen Zhixin, is the Taizu Emperor Gao, but I am from the clan, Da Chen's clan, but not a cat or a dog, can be mixed in and indiscriminately filled, the prince of Wuji has long died, died sixteen years ago, this Da Chen has nothing Wuji, today, I want to see, what kind of deceptive and famous thief, dare to make such a joke. ”

"Something like a dog!" Chen Zhixin stared at the carriage with straight eyes, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he actually said sharply: "Come out!" ”

He shouted.

In the face of the quiet carriage, he became more and more irritable.

The silence was silent, like an insult to him.

Even the two coachmen who sat on the wheels of the car to catch the car were so calm and relaxed that they did not say a word, and what was even more ridiculous was that they clearly had daggers at their waists and still carried reins in their hands.

Chen Zhixin squinted his eyes, angry, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, revealing a cruel sneer: "It seems that ...... This is not a coffin without tears, do you really think that this will be here to greet you, and you are also worthy? ”

"Come on......"

"You...... Is enough enough? ”

Suddenly, there was a lazy sound in the car.

The sound is not loud, but what is shocking is that this obviously small sound is clear to the ears with a slight chill.

"What?" Chen Zhixin had already pressed the handle of the knife on his waist, squinted at the carriage, and sneered: "You dare to ......"

"That's enough, let's do it." The man in the carriage said this without hesitation.

Chen Zhixin's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he laughed: "Haha, that's what I said, come on, give me ......"

He didn't finish his sentence.

It was just the last word, but it was interrupted by the person in the car, who shouted: "Kill!" ”

The word kill came from the carriage.

Chen Zhixin was already sharpening his sword, pulled out the hilt of the sword on his waist, and was about to ask for a long sword, when he gave an order, and cut the person in the car into meat sauce.

But the killing word shouted by the person in the car actually made him feel a chill in the depths of his heart.

Suddenly, Chen Zhixin actually felt a chill on his spine, he subconsciously looked back, but saw that the deputy general Wu Ming behind him was already holding a long sword, and he was about to stab him in the back of the neck, but when he turned around, it was a sword that went straight into his eye socket.

Laugh at......

Blood gushed out, the long sword entered the face, the force that penetrated was extremely strong, it actually entered the door alive, and it was inserted obliquely from the skull, Chen Zhixin looked at the deputy general behind him dumbfounded before he died, and he couldn't help but wail: "Wu Ming, I won't treat you ...... Thin ......"

Wu Ming's face was expressionless, he was already drawing his sword, and the red and white mixed liquid instantly splashed out with the drawing of the long sword, and the liquid with residual temperature was sprinkled on Wu Ming's face, Wu Ming's face was expressionless, and the long sword was sheathed.

This sudden change stunned everyone in the Mengjin army.

Everyone looked at Wu Ming in horror, looking at Chen Zhixin, who had become a cold corpse, and the blood on his head was pouring out of his horse and fell directly off the horse.

Several military attachés were on alert in an instant, and one of them said sharply: "Wu Ming, you are so bold!" ”

And the carriage was still parked there, and there was no movement, and the people in the carriage seemed to have become outsiders.
