Chapter 397: Leaving the palace and returning home
At dawn, the dark cage broke through a corner of the eastern sky, and little by little light slowly covered the entire Chen Kingdom. The vision began to brighten, and the window paper was pierced by the sunlight, hitting Chen Baichuan's closed eyes. The burning and piercing sensation quickly woke him up.
When Chen Baichuan woke up, he found that he was still in the palace last night, and the corpses on the ground had been cleaned up. At some point, he was moved to bed. Is this King Chen's bed?
The ground was already clean, and the traces of the battle last night were probably only the traces on the pillars that I don't know when. And the blood stains on the ground, the corpses, were all cleaned up by the eunuchs and maidservants. The floor of the slate was obviously wiped and waxed, and Chen Baichuan looked at the smooth ground, and couldn't even remember how to go back from the fierce battle last night.
He looked down and saw that he had a strip of white cloth tied around his arm. The strip of cloth was dark red, which was enough to show that he was injured last night. The black-clothed man who assassinated last night was really not an ordinary person, he was all a good hand, and he surrounded Chen Baichuan and said that he was at ease, but he didn't expect to hang up the color.
No wonder he slept here without knowing it. He probably guessed the last situation last night, Chen Baichuan lost blood due to the injury to his arm, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy, and he didn't see that the other injured person had already fallen to the ground before him.
Chen Baichuan stood up with his support on the corner, and he didn't expect that this King Chen still had a good conscience. He looked around, and not far away, King Chen was sleeping soundly. It seems that the doctor said that he could not move too far, and King Chen told him to sleep in the hall.
Opening the door of the hall, the sunlight rushing in his face became even more intense, and Chen Baichuan couldn't help but close his eyes. When he adjusted to the sunlight and opened his eyes, he was taken aback by the big battle in front of him. Outside the gate stood at least one battalion of men. Just guarding a door.
And this is just a gate guard, this dormitory can be guarded on four sides. This is also an exaggeration.
There is an acquaintance of Chen Baichuan in the crowd, it is Liu Lei, who fought side by side with him last night, this guy's combat effectiveness is very amazing, and his eyesight is not bad at all. He ran to Chen Baichuan, happily sent Chen Baichuan on the shoulder, and said familiarly: "Oh, Chen Shangshu got up, you really surprised my brother last night, I didn't expect you to look weak as a chicken, and you would be so strong in fighting." ”
Last night, Liu Lei compared Chen Baichuan with himself, and finally came to a conclusion that he was not Chen Baichuan's opponent. And Chen Baichuan's style of play is elegant, if he is bent on bypassing him and running to King Chen, King Chen will definitely fall to the ground.
He originally didn't let Chen Baichuan spend the night in the dormitory, but King Chen insisted on going his own way. This dangerous creature was hiding in King Chen's palace, which was also the reason why he sent so many more people.
Chen Baichuan screamed in pain, Liu Lei, a monster that suddenly appeared, actually hit his injured arm. Chen Baichuan hissed, and then said: "Commander Liu is really terrible, it was you who surprised people yesterday." ”
The monster is also Chen Baichuan's evaluation of Liu Lei.
This guy has sparse martial arts, but his brute strength is too amazing, and he has completely achieved the ability to defeat the enemy with force. And this guy has been acting ordinary before, and now it seems that the city government is too deep.
Seeing that his temperament did not change, Chen Baichuan knew that this guy must not be the son of a nobleman, but someone who rushed up from the bottom step by step. Such a guy is much more murderous than those guys with a prominent family.
"Hahahaha, where is Chen Shangshu going next? But you're leaving the palace? ”
"Is this an eviction order?"
Liu Lei put away his smile, he really didn't want to let Chen Baichuan's time bomb stay here for too long, Chen Baichuan picked out the words, and he also said bluntly: "Chen Shangshu don't blame, it's really too shocking what happened last night." I'm afraid that something will happen to Your Majesty, so I have to suspect everyone. ”
Chen Baichuan was light-hearted: "It's all for Your Majesty, I can understand it." But I want to be with you. ”
"That Li Wangba last night?"
Chen Baichuan nodded.
"That guy is now in the custody of the prison in the palace, and last night the interrogation was inconclusive. You want him to ......" Liu Lei frowned.
Chen Baichuan said: "If you throw him in the dungeon, maybe he will be killed by others if we go over now." And if I take him away, I will surely take enough out of his mouth. ”
"So confident?"
Thinking of the group of madmen in the dungeon of Chen's mansion, Chen Baichuan smiled: "I must be able to." ”
Chen Baichuan finally pressed Commander Li to return to the Chen family, of course, there would be no sedan chair in the palace. There are two sedan chairs, one of which is Chen Baichuan sitting idly with an expression, and the other is tied to an inhuman-shaped Commander Li.
It wasn't a quiet ride either. Chen Baichuan frowned, picked up the sword in the sedan chair to block it, and sure enough, a long arrow pierced the curtain and headed at him.
On the sedan chair behind him, there was also a sound of gold and iron colliding. Fortunately, Chen Baichuan had already prepared, and he inserted iron plates on all sides of the sedan chair where he was holding Commander Li behind, and such ordinary crossbow arrows could not penetrate the iron at all.
He said it was okay. The sedan chair moved forward quietly as if nothing had happened.
The Chen Mansion soon arrived, and as soon as Chen Baichuan gave an order to the guards at the gate, many people came out and escorted Commander Li to the dungeon of the Chen Mansion. Lin Jiu followed the person out, and when he saw Chen Baichuan's arm injury, he was taken aback, and said, "Little master, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, skin trauma." Chen Baichuan walked towards Chen's mansion without any ripples on his face. After he entered the mansion, he went to the study and called Lin Jiu and Steward Lu.
Steward Lu was also surprised by the injury on Chen Baichuan's hand, and Chen Baichuan roughly told him what happened last night, and both listeners felt that the wind and rain in the palace last night were fierce, which was surprising.
That's the palace, that's King Chen. King Chen is one of the four most powerful people in the world, and someone wants to take his position!
This kind of news that will shake the world when it spreads, Chen Baichuan was particularly plain when he talked about it. Instead, he pulled away from the matter and asked about the matter in Lin Jiu's mansion: "Did you find out that there are spies in the mansion?" ”
Lin Jiu didn't notice any clues, he shook his head: "After checking yesterday, there are still only a few people sent by King Chen. ”
Could it be that someone from the Chen Mansion betrayed his whereabouts last night?
At the same time, in a mansion somewhere in Chendu, a guy who looked like an official knelt on the ground and trembled, not daring to say a word. In front of him, there was a middle-aged strong man dressed in black, he held a knife under the official's neck, and said fiercely: "Chen Guoren is Chen Guoren, there is not enough success, there are more than failures, the little things handed over to you can't be done, what's the use of keeping you?" ”
