The army of the Tang Dynasty has already set off, Li Jing, who had already taken off his armor, put on his armor again, took tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and went straight to Tuyuhun, watching the mighty army gradually disappear from view, Zhao Chen seemed to have seen Murong Fuyun's desperate face.

This war has actually been doomed a long time ago, Tuyuhun deserves to die, although Li Er's reason for going out to fight is a little pale, however, in fact, Tuyuhun has many reasons to force Datang to use troops against him.

Over the years, Chai Lingwu, father and son, led troops to be stationed on the front line of Liangzhou all the year round, and almost every year, they would fight with the Tuyuhun people who came to invade Liangzhou.

Last time, when Chai Lingwu came back to Chang'an, he showed off a few of them with a knife wound on his back, saying that he was once besieged by a small group of Tuyuhun troops, and finally killed him with a knife.

When Chai Lingwu spoke, he looked heartless, but Zhao Chen looked at the scars on Chai Lingwu's back, even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, he could roughly guess what Chai Lingwu had experienced at that time.

This war has long been predestined, since it has long been doomed and inevitable, Zhao Chen certainly hopes that the balance of victory in the war will be biased towards the side of Datang.

Therefore, this time the Tang Dynasty went on an expedition, Zhao Chen did not hesitate to let Dugu Mou take his people and follow Li Jing, this bastard was already eager to try, and his mind was full of the glory of the Dugu family, so he simply satisfied him.

Sending away the army that went out, Zhao Chen lay down in the carriage, ordered the stone to go back to the house, closed his eyes, and let the stone drive the carriage straight to the Hou Mansion, now he feels a little tired, he can't say, he doesn't want to go anywhere anyway.

Cheng's house is coming, Zhao Chen just returned to the mansion, only got off the carriage, and Zhang Lu, who came over to help Zhao Chen get off, lowered his voice and told Zhao Chen, listening to Zhang Lu's meaning, it seems that there is something important, and he has been arranged to wait in Zhao Chen's study at this time.

"What can Uncle Cheng do?" Hearing Zhang Lu's words, Zhao Chen couldn't help but be stunned, Lao Cheng has always been straightforward, if there is anything, he will send someone to call him directly, why do you have to wait in line, it seems to be mysterious.

The study room is on the other side of the flower hall, which is the quietest place in the Hou Mansion, although Zhao Chen muttered in his heart, he still went straight to the study.

"Master Hou, a certain little grandfather asked a certain to say hello to Master Hou!" As soon as I pushed open the door of the study, I saw a big man sitting on a chair in the study, just like an iron tower, as soon as I saw Zhao Chen come in, he hurriedly stood up, grinned at Zhao Chen, and bowed slightly and said.

"Cheng Zhong?" The general of the old Cheng family, Zhao Chen can basically know it, and Zhao Chen naturally knows the iron tower in front of him, but when he saw the one in front of him, Zhao Chen couldn't help but be stunned, and asked, "When did you come back?" ”

As Zhao Chen said, the name of the tower in front of him is Cheng Chong, but this guy has already gone to Lingnan a year ago, but he suddenly appeared in the study of the Hou Mansion at this time, Zhao Chen will naturally be a little surprised.

"If you go back to Master Hou, a certain family will come back yesterday!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Cheng Chong grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and explained to Zhao Chen embarrassedly: "It's just that since I returned home yesterday, I have been pulled by the old lady and have not been able to get out..."

The old lady is naturally Cheng Chumo's wife, Cheng Chumo, this bastard, has been gone for a year and a half, the old man is anxious, so he naturally asks Cheng Zhong about the recent situation.

"How is your little grandfather doing?" After sitting down behind the desk and motioning for Cheng Zhong to sit down, Zhao Chen looked at Cheng Zhong and inquired about Cheng Chong's starting point.

"This is the letter that the little grandfather handed over to the Hou Ye before leaving a certain family!" Hearing Zhao Chen's words, Cheng Chong, who had just sat down, seemed to remember something, got up in a hurry, carefully took out a letter from his arms, and presented it to Zhao Chen with both hands.

"Letter?" Cheng Chumo never wrote letters, even if he had anything to say, he always directly asked someone to bring him a message, not to mention, he still ordered to hand it over to Zhao Chen, and Zhao Chen, who was still relaxed just now, couldn't help frowning this time.

Then, he took the letter from Cheng Chong's hand, opened the letter in front of Cheng Chong, and the moment he opened the letter, Cheng Chumo's broken handwriting immediately jumped on the paper, simple, rough, and direct - the bearded guest disappeared!

"What's going on?" Cheng Cheng did not explain too much in the letter, only saying that since the beginning of May, after the bearded passenger left from the Guangzhou wharf, there has been no news of the bearded guest, and now he has sent people to Nanyang.

"I don't know exactly who is here!" Seeing Zhao Chen frowning, his face suddenly became ugly, and Cheng Zhong in front of him suddenly became cautious and explained: "At the beginning, that guy made an appointment with the little grandfather, and he had to return to Guangzhou every month, but now, I haven't seen the shadow of that guy, so... So, the little grandfather is worried..."

"Worried that guy will disappear on purpose?" The more Cheng Chong said that, the quieter his voice became, and his eyes looked at Zhao Chen from time to time, the meaning couldn't be clearer, the bearded guest was leading people to hide.

"Impossible!" The words fell, and without waiting for Cheng Zhong to speak, Zhao Chen continued: "If you don't come within the time limit, it may be that something else happened, and it is absolutely impossible to deliberately avoid us!" ”

It is impossible for the bearded guest to disappear, at this point, Zhao Chen does not have confidence in the character of the bearded guest, but the knowledge of the bearded guest, the bearded guest is not stupid, so he should measure it himself, once he wants to do that, what the consequences will be.

"Master Hou, what should I do now?" From Cheng Chong's gaze, it can be seen that he has certain doubts about Zhao Chen's decision, and after hearing this, he was slightly stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Chen and asked tentatively.

"Wait, I'm sure the bearded guest will appear!" Hearing Cheng Chong's words, Zhao Chen couldn't help but sigh, glanced at the letter in his hand again, and immediately smiled bitterly and said.

Cheng Chumo never writes letters, but this meeting sent Cheng Zhong away and came to Chang'an to deliver the letter.

In the final analysis, he did the matter of the bearded guest, once the bearded guest really had an accident, then Zhao Chen would definitely not be able to escape the involvement!

Thinking of this, Cheng Chumo was crazy and blamed himself in Guangzhou, Zhao Chen was slightly stunned for a moment, and then sat down again, opened the drawer of the desk, took out the letter paper inside, spread it out, and explained to Cheng Chumo.

The bearded guest will not disappear, this Zhao Chen can pack tickets, as for the reason, Zhao Chen also explained to Cheng Chumo one by one in the letter, telling Cheng Chumo to just wait in Guangzhou.

After the letter was written, he took out the envelope from the drawer, but after thinking about it, he opened another drawer and took out a family photo that had just been taken a few days ago, with all the people in the Hou Mansion on it.

Sitting in the middle, looking handsome, handsome, and magnificent, it is naturally himself, Xiangcheng who is squeezing his eyebrows at the camera, Yuyan with a big belly, Ning'er with a nervous face and a tense body, and Xue'er who is holding him in his arms, and Zhao Xi who is standing next to him.

After all, the two brothers haven't seen each other for a year, and the news of the exchange is all from other people's mouths, and now, since they have this photo, they have to bring it to their brothers.

It's just that I just put the photo into the envelope, and after thinking about it, I couldn't help but pat my forehead, scolded myself in my heart for being confused, stood up, picked up the camera from the bookshelf quickly, and rushed out of the study under Cheng Chong's stunned gaze.

Cheng Chumo is alone, thousands of miles away from home, if you want to see him as a brother, you can put it aside for the time being, in the bottom of my heart, it is naturally the old Cheng family that I want to see the most!

"Uncle Cheng is so good at home, my little nephew came over today and took a family photo of Uncle Cheng!" Mrs. Cheng is at home all the year round, that's naturally right, I didn't expect that Lao Cheng was actually at home, and came to Cheng's house in a hurry, and when he saw Lao Cheng drinking alone in the flower hall, Zhao Chen suddenly said overjoyed.

"Go, go, the old man is worried!" Lao Cheng was in a bad mood, as for the reason, Zhao Chen could naturally guess it, it was very simple, this expedition, Li Er did not recruit his Zuo Wuwei's men and horses, and he was sulking alone at this time!

"Have you thought about Uncle Cheng, the photo was brought to Lingnan!" Zhao Chen ignored Lao Cheng's sullenness, according to him, he was a lot old, how good it was to stay in Chang'an honestly, what kind of battle to fight, so he winked at Lao Cheng and said: "Don't forget, your eldest grandson is still in Lingnan, you don't want your eldest grandson to see your old respect?" ”

The matter of the camera has long been spread in Chang'an, of course Lao Cheng is no stranger, a few days ago, Zhao Chen also sent one to his family, but that thing made Lao Cheng panic when he listened, so it was 'sealed' by Lao Cheng.

“… Cut! "The Great Demon King Cheng wanted to have a hard mouth, and the hard words turned around his throat again and again, and finally he was swallowed by Lao Cheng with a mouthful of saliva.

In the matter of taking pictures, especially, listening to Zhao Chen say that he wanted to bring it to Cheng Chumo, Lao Cheng seemed very calm on the surface, but when he arrived at Mrs. Cheng, it was completely different.

Mrs. Cheng's body has become weaker and weaker in the past two years, and the whole person looks weak, and her face is as pale as white paper, however, as soon as she heard this, she immediately came out of the room and urged Lao Cheng and her two younger sons to sit down in the courtyard.

"Little... Xiao Chen, this thing is really fine, right? Lao Cheng was dressed in heavy armor, and he still had his curly-eared iron hat on his head, looking like he had just returned from the battlefield, but when he sat there facing Zhao Chen's camera, he obviously asked a little weakly.

"What can it be? Don't you still believe in Xiao Chen, this child? Seeing that it was about to be filmed, but was suddenly interrupted by Lao Cheng, Mrs. Cheng, who was angry, immediately turned her head, glanced at Lao Cheng, and reproached in a low voice.

"Done, then take it!" Mrs. was seriously ill, Lao Cheng let him go everywhere, and at this time, Mrs. gave him a blank look, and Lao Cheng immediately put on a look of seeing death as if he were at home, and said with grinning teeth at the camera.

At this time, Zhao Chen quickly pressed the shutter, and with a 'poof' sound, in a burst of white smoke, the camera recorded the moment of Lao Cheng's family.

Half a month later, in Lingnan, in a wooden house near the sea, Cheng Chumo, who had just come off the boat, was holding a photo of his father and mother, and suddenly tears fell like rain, crying heartbreakingly...
