Chapter Seventy-Eight: An Unexpected Encounter
Goguryeo?
Zhao Chen was not only amused by his sudden idea, theoretically speaking, compared to the Turks, the Goguryeo people can indeed work hard to cultivate such a dead horse, but the question is, do he Goguryeo people have the courage?
This kind of thing is not trivial, it is a direct move to the Tang Dynasty's reverse scales, once the incident happens, then you have to consider how to withstand the anger of the Tang Dynasty, with the current strength of Goguryeo and the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty can easily crush Goguryeo ten times and round!
Is he Gao Jianwu crazy, or is Yuan Gai Suwen crazy?
"Headache!" After talking for a long time, the foaming stars said that they were dry, their throats were on fire, everything that should have been said was said, and what should have been promised was also promised, but the three in front of him were just like stone people who couldn't understand people's words, they didn't even look at him at all, can they not give him a headache?
"If you have a headache, let's go back first!" Lao Qin, who was originally guarding outside the door and waiting for Zhao Chen to break the game, saw Zhao Chen rubbing his head and coming out of it, he immediately sighed, and said with a disappointed face: "Your Majesty has sent a hundred horsemen to search all over the city, and the old man doesn't believe that so many people have entered Chang'an, so he didn't leave any clues!" ”
"I wish I could find out!" Hearing Lao Qin's obvious words of relief, Zhao Chen smiled bitterly at Lao Qin, rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, and walked towards the door: "Then I'll go back first, I have a headache, if Baiqi has news, you always remember to send someone to inform me." ”
The guards in the military courtyard were still as strict as when he came in in the morning, and the entire military courtyard was extremely heavily guarded, one by one, as if they were facing a great enemy, and their eyes revealed a terrifying light, as if they could swallow the strange life that appeared in front of them alive at any time and anywhere.
These people are all internal guards temporarily transferred from the palace, whether they are fighting individually or in groups, their combat effectiveness is not covered, but Zhao Chen feels that these people are just going through the motions, the combat effectiveness of the group of dead soldiers last night is very strong, even so, they have not been able to break through the inner courtyard in the end, so naturally they will not try a second time!
Of course, prevention is better than prevention, and it is not excluded that these people will take risks, right?
When he came out of the military courtyard, it was already afternoon, and the sun hung weakly in the sky, exuding a lazy light, and he looked lazy waiting to get off work at any time, which made Zhao Chen's mood a lot depressed for no reason!
When I went out in the morning, I was in a hurry and didn't eat, thinking that I could still mix a bowl of porridge at Li Er's place, but I ended up in the military academy, and I have been busy until now, and I have long been dissatisfied with the grunt of protest in my stomach.
When the stone drove the carriage into Xinghuafang, he happened to see a newly opened noodle shop on the side of the road, and the shopkeeper was the old cook Liu who was originally in the Hou Mansion.
"Master Hou?" The noodle shop in front of him is not big, a total of more than ten square meters, scattered with a few square tables, when Zhao Chen entered, Lao Liu was greeting a pair of male and female patrons, seeing Zhao Chen come in, he was suddenly pleasantly surprised, and he was busy greeting, and hurriedly wiped out a stool under his hand and handed it to Zhao Chen.
"I didn't eat when I went out in the morning, and I happened to pass by, so if it's convenient, let's make a bowl of noodles!" Zhao Chen was also casual, anyway, Lao Liu also came out of his house, took the stool handed by Lao Liu, greeted Lao Liu, and then picked a seat on the street and sat down.
"What did Master Hou say, you can come to the villain's shop, you have already given the villain a big face!" Hearing that Zhao Chen came in to eat noodles, Lao Liu became more and more excited, and quickly beckoned his mother-in-law to come out, he had already gone to the back kitchen, and estimated that he was going to cook noodles for Zhao Chen himself.
When Lao Liu left, only Zhao Chen's master and servant were left in the store, as well as the previous pair of male and female patrons, these two people have been facing away from Zhao Chen since Zhao Chen entered the door, and they couldn't see the appearance of the two clearly, but the woman's dress did not seem to be an ordinary person's family, but for some reason it appeared in Lao Liu's shabby noodle shop.
But it's also strange to say, Zhao Chen has been in for a while, and Lao Liu has already indicated Zhao Chen's identity, with Zhao Chen's status in Datang today, he is the three princes and six kings who have met him, and they have to come over to say hello, however, the two people in front of him, since Zhao Chen entered the door at this moment, as if they hadn't heard it at all, there was no reaction at all, and it was a bit strange to think about it!
Of course, Zhao Chen didn't pay attention to the reaction of these two people, his mind was all about the affairs of the military academy at this time, sitting on the stool on the street, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, his eyes looked at the people coming and going on the street, his mind was full of flashing faces, and there were several times when someone greeted him, but Zhao Chen didn't hear it, which made those neighbors inexplicable.
Just when Zhao Chen was in a daze, his arm was suddenly touched, and when he raised his head in amazement, he saw the stone snorting at the pair of men and women, and said in a low voice: "That woman seems to have been brought by Hou Ye from Goguryeo..."
"What a high sentence..."Zhao Chen's mind, just now was still thinking about the affairs of the military academy, what the stone said, he didn't react for a while, with the words of the stone, his eyes looked at the woman, and the next moment, when he saw the woman's familiar side face, the whole person was stunned, and the words that wanted to blurt out were swallowed raw.
Shi is right, the woman in front of him is no one else, it is the woman he brought back when he took people to Goguryeo, but after bringing it to Chang'an, he threw it to Hu Lu casually, and later Hu Lu settled in Luoyang, I was afraid that this woman would stay in Chang'an and cause a lot of trouble to Zhao Chen innocently.
It's just that what is a little surprising is that this woman, who should have been settled in Luoyang, quietly appeared in Chang'an, and that's it, and Zhao Chen met him here, which made Zhao Chen a little helpless for a while.
Speaking from the heart, Zhao Chen is a little repulsive to this woman, he always feels that this woman is like a gummy, relying on the promise he gave in Liaodong at the beginning, he can't wait to plunge into the Hou Mansion, and the identity of Xiangcheng is there, so he obediently followed Hu Lu to Luoyang, but who knows, now he has appeared in Chang'an, looking like this, it seems to be in the area of Xinghuafang.
Secretly glanced at the stone, Zhao Chen was about to leave, the affairs of the military academy had already made him anxious, how could he have any extra thoughts to take care of this woman!
It's just that when he just finished his eyes and was about to stand up, the two people who were originally facing away from him turned around at this time, carrying two huge food boxes and preparing to leave, and happened to take a look at Zhao Chen who was about to get up, and the moment they looked at each other, the corners of Zhao Chen's mouth suddenly raised slightly, revealing an embarrassing smile.
However, to Zhao Chen's surprise, he thought he couldn't hide from the greeting, but just as he was about to speak, the Goguryeo woman in front of him didn't even look at him, as if she didn't know Zhao Chen at all.
"Damn Goguryeo woman!" Zhao Chen was still stunned, but the stone beside him was the first to react, the teeth on both sides were raised, and he looked angry and ruined, and gritted his teeth at the Goguryeo woman who had already gone away: "Has this woman forgotten that this is Chang'an, not their Goguryeo!" ”
What kind of person is the Hou Ye of his own family, looking at the Tang Dynasty, and His Majesty and those grandfathers of the country, dare to give their own Hou Ye a face, that is His Royal Highness the Prince, who has never been lonely in front of the Hou Ye, this woman actually met the Hou Ye face to face, pretending to ignore it, the more he thought about it, the more he made him angry, just waiting for Zhao Chen to promise, he could throw this woman into the Wei River to feed the fish in a moment.
"yes!" Zhao Chen naturally listened to the stone's words, and at this time, sitting in the position just now, frowning slightly, looking at the back of the Goguryeo woman who had already walked away, muttering to himself repeating the stone's words: "This is Chang'an, is this woman crazy?" It really doesn't make sense! ”
Something is wrong, something is really wrong!
Now that I think about it, from the moment he entered the door, this woman seemed a little abnormal, she obviously heard him come in, but pretended not to hear it, and then, she saw him Zhao Chen face to face, but she pretended not to know him, and passed by Zhao Chen, and her eyes didn't even look at Zhao Chen, as if she didn't know Zhao Chen at all, doesn't it seem strange?
"Master Hou, the noodles are ready..."Lao Liu's hands and feet are very sharp, and before he spoke, he had already made a bowl of noodles, and brought it to the table in front of Zhao Chen excitedly, rubbing his apron vigorously with both hands, looking at Zhao Chen expectantly, waiting for Zhao Chen to taste it.
Lao Liu is also from the Hou Mansion, so he naturally understands Zhao Chen's taste, the noodles are very fine, the base of tomato and pepper fried, and a few coriander leaves are ordered on it, and the taste immediately hooks Zhao Chen's appetite has increased greatly, and the stomach that has just stopped immediately made a 'gurgling' protest of dissatisfaction.
"Good!" Lao Liu watched from the side, like a student who had handed in the test paper and was waiting for the teacher's judgment, so Zhao Chen was also kind and good, buried his head in a mouthful, and immediately nodded at Lao Liu with satisfaction, and shouted vaguely Okay, which provoked Lao Liu to smirk excitedly as if he had picked up a piece of dog's head gold.
"Master Hou, why don't I throw that woman into the Wei River?" Lao Liu turned around and left, and the stone that had been parted for a long time on the side finally seized the opportunity, leaned over Zhao Chen's ear, and said in a low voice.
Feelings, this unlucky child, at this time, is still struggling with what just happened!
"Feed the fish, that's not necessary!" The stone's words made Zhao Chen shake his head when he heard it, this thing is mixed with Muqiu every day, and now he can't seize the opportunity at every turn, he wants to feed people to fish, Zhao Chen was afraid that this Goguryeo woman would feed the fish, so he quickly stopped the stone and said: "However, you can quietly check the woman's residence!" ”
deliberately pretended not to know him, probably because he thought that Zhao Chen threw her to Hu Lu, and was taken to Luoyang by Hu Lu!
Women, it is inevitable that they like to be a little petty, although this little temperament makes it a little ignorant, but Zhao Chen still feels that it has not yet reached the point of throwing it into the Wei River to feed the fish!
