"What's going on in Xiliang?"

Chen Nuo was thirsty for wine, and he didn't want Mi Lai to bring two glasses of water and wine at the right time, but he hadn't picked them up to drink, but Zhu Rong Qingyi knocked on the door and reported that Xiliang had new news. When Chen Nuo heard this, he had to leave Mi Lai for the time being, go out, and under the protection of Zhu Rong Qingyi, he walked towards the big tent. It is no wonder that although Chen Nuo and the others rested in the private houses in the market town, their office was still in the open space in the middle of the market town, and a tent was temporarily set up in the middle of the open space, and Chen Nuo came to the big tent with Zhu Rong Qingyi.

In the big tent, Chen Nuo's henchmen had already gathered there waiting for Chen Nuo to arrive, but as soon as Chen Nuo came, everyone turned their eyes to Chen Nuo one after another. Chen Nuo sat straight in front of the handsome case, did not go around in circles, and asked about the news of Xiliang on both sides. One of the people below, when he heard Chen Nuo's question, immediately said to Chen Nuo: "General Hui, as far as we know, Niu Fu, the Xiliang thief general who lost the news before, has also got new news now. ”

Chen Nuo nodded and let him continue. The man continued: "It turns out that when there was a great turmoil in Xiliang at night, the thief Niu Fu not only did not stop the turmoil, but escaped from the big tent with his henchman Hu Chi'er with gold and silver. Only halfway through, Hu Chi'er killed Niu Fu because he was greedy for Niu Fu's money, and cut off Niu Fu's head all the way to the west, it seems that he was preparing to sacrifice Niu Fu's head to the imperial court in exchange for the court's pardon for him. As soon as the man's words came out, they all talked about it, and only scolded Niu Fuhuo for deserving this retribution.

Regarding Niu Fu's death, Chen Nuo, who was actually familiar with the matter, was not surprised at all, so he nodded lightly and asked him, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Yes!"

The man straightened his thoughts, and then said: "As far as we know, the other Xiliang thieves have sent Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu's two troops and horses, and since they withdrew from Shaanxi County, they have been going all the way to the west, collecting the chaotic soldiers along the way, and now there are tens of thousands of people. I heard that this army has not yet arrived in Huayin, so there are Xiliang generals Wang Fang, Li Meng and others to join forces with them, claiming to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and chanting the slogan of 'killing Chang'an' all the way, constantly advancing westward, and the soldiers are very fast. ”

In fact, it is impossible for Chen Nuo not to know about Jia Xu's support for Zhang Xiu, but Chen Nuo didn't expect that these two joined forces to do things so smoothly, which was really beyond Chen Nuo's expectations. You must know that although Zhang Xiu is the nephew of Zhang Ji, the general of Xiliang, Zhang Xiu is still young after all, and his experience in leading troops is not sufficient, so it is extremely difficult to say that the old troops of Niu Fu are really difficult. But Chen Nuo didn't expect that what seemed extremely difficult on the outside might be difficult for him, and it was also unattainable for Zhang Xiu, but with Jia Xu's encouragement, it became a fact. Now, Zhang Xiu not only got rid of the shadow of the Yanshi's fiasco in the first battle, but also regained control of such a majestic Xiliang army and horses, even Chen Nuo did not dare to underestimate him easily. Thinking about it, Zhang Xiu immediately waved his troops to the east after taking charge of the army, with the slogan of attacking Tianwang Village, in fact, everyone who understands knows that he is because he heard that he Chen Nuo is in Tianwang Village, and he wants to take this opportunity to take revenge. And Zhang Xiu dared to send troops over regardless of the morale of the soldiers, which was enough to see Zhang Xiu's hatred of Chen Nuo. Although this blow ultimately failed because of the contrarian trend, it is conceivable that once Zhang Xiu succeeds and breaks Chang'an, he will be in a high position at that time, and he will not share the sky with him Chen Nuo. Therefore, Chen Nuo is of course very interested in Zhang Xiu's movements.

Originally, before there was no news from Zhao Xue and his 'parents', Chen Nuo's future course of action was also very clear, so he naturally continued to go west, took his 'parents' to his side, found Zhao Xue, and then talked about other things. But now, because of Zhao Xue's return and the safe arrival of his 'parents', his whole body and mind seem to be relieved all of a sudden, and he feels a little like he has nothing to do. To the west? 'Parents' and Zhao Xue have returned to their side, what is the meaning of going west? Could it be that he went to the troubled waters of Chang'an? It seems very irrational. But if you go back like this, you don't seem to be reconciled. After all, he originally thought that after killing Zhang Jisan, the Xiliang people would no longer be able to make waves, but now it's good, after the death of Li Ji, Guo Yan, and Zhang Ji's three families, it is a little dumbfounded.

You must know that if according to the historical development, after the Xiliang people broke through Chang'an, the biggest benefit was Zhang Ji, Li Dao, and Guo Yan. But it's good now, if Zhang Xiu succeeds, it will be Zhang Xiu's family, and Li Meng and Wang Fang may not be able to compete with Zhang Xiu. In this way, the balance of power will be broken, and it will have far-reaching effects, which Chen Nuo never wants to see. Putting aside personal grievances, in terms of interests alone, if Zhang Xiu's family is allowed to dominate, it will have a great impact on Chen Nuo. After all, Chen Nuo is now the Henan Yin of the imperial court, and the land east of Luoyang is adjacent to Zhang Xiu, and Zhang Xiu's seat will definitely threaten him in the future, and he will be busy guarding against the Xiliang people in the west all day long, let alone seeking development.

Since Chen Nuo had foreseen that Zhang Xiu might pose a big threat to him in the future, could he prevent it in advance, or simply pull it out while he was just starting to grow seedlings? Chen Nuo didn't think about it, but the final answer was nothing more than a 'no'. If he wants to kill Zhang Xiu, he can't get people in his own hands, how to act? Could it be that the more than 10,000 garrisons of the division were transferred? Jokes, not to mention that the roads are difficult to travel, and the transportation of grain and grass is difficult, even if he comes, he is afraid that he will not be able to catch up with the pace of the Xiliang people, what can he do to destroy him? So what about the existing Tianwangzhai people? That's even more of a joke, not to mention whether it can completely move the Tianwangzhai group, that is, it is mobilized, with the Tianwangzhai and such a weak combat power, I'm afraid it's not enough to take it to others to stuff their teeth. What's more, Zhang Xiu is now leading the Xiliang people to attack Chang'an, which is the trend of the times, and Chen Nuo wants to go against the trend, but he is afraid that he is asking for hardship.

Since it is impossible to lead the troops to chase after it, is there any other way? Break from it? How? By stratagem? Don't say that he doesn't have it for the time being, even if he does, there is a scheming Jia Xu next to Zhang Xiu, how can he easily destroy it? It seems that it is the general trend, and if you want to stop it, you can't stop it, and if you force it, you will inevitably end up in ashes. After Chen Nuosi thought about it, it is not to go to Chang'an now, nor is it to go to Chang'an, seeing that Zhang Xiu's forces are gradually becoming a big threat, he is afraid that it will be a big threat in the future, so he has a little headache. But after thinking about it carefully, it was precisely because he broke Zhang Ji's three families under the city that Zhang Xiu went to Shaanxi and created an opportunity for Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu to meet, so that there was a series of farces in the future. It turned out that the initiator of all this was him Chen Nuo, and he Chen Nuo was the one who single-handedly created the current situation, but it was a bit of a cocoon. When Chen Nuo thought of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and didn't speak.

The next group of people originally thought that Chen Nuo had heard that Zhang Xiu had joined forces with the Xiliang Army on the Huayin side, and he should be worried about the imperial court, but he didn't expect that he would laugh, and the taste in it was also unpleasant. But Chen Nuo didn't speak, and they fell silent, thinking in their hearts. Chen Nuo was silent for a while, and he didn't press it. only said that after Chen Nuo went, Milai was the only one left in the house, and it was suddenly empty and lonely, which made her very uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, Milai brought two glasses of water and wine, one for each person, and he also summoned great courage. And she was worried about doing this, seeing that as long as Chen Nuo raised his hand, the water and wine could be delivered to his stomach, so this matter would be half done. However, it was unfortunate that Chen Nuo was still busy with military affairs on such a big night, but she was left here alone, which inevitably made her resentful. In his heart, he said, do you want Chen Nuo to be with her. Is it so difficult to cultivate, why does God have to tease her three times?

Come to think of it, they almost did it the first time, but in the end, because she said something wrong, Chen Nuo woke up at a critical moment, and the two sides were going to meet each other, but at this moment they suddenly stopped. And after that, there was another opportunity for her to sneak into Chen Nuo's room, and they were all lying on the couch, and Chen Nuo was a little unable to control it, and she was almost about to open her bow and draw arrows. However, at the most critical moment, in the end, because of the noise outside, the good things were destroyed again.

It is precisely because of these two experiences that she Milai has less and less confidence in 'eating' Chen Nuo, and always thinks that God is always destroying her good deeds. And she also understands that it is very difficult to have such an opportunity again, even if she tells Chen Nuo directly, begging Chen Nuo to be with her. Xiu', it has been proved several times that Chen Nuo took her words as a joke, and naturally would not cooperate. What's more, Chen Nuo has been busy with military affairs, and sometimes she is left behind when she is busy, where is the time to think of her, the opportunities are naturally pitiful, and she even suspects that there will be no more opportunities. And she, in order to take revenge, naturally refused to give up her attempt to cultivate divine skills easily, which made her have the idea of forcibly combining with Chen Nuo with medicine. Although she had this thought, this potion was not easy to find, and it was when she was distressed, but because of the appearance of that old man Ge Yi, he gave her these two pills, so she decided to give it a try. It's just that to do this kind of thing, Milai is timid after all, and he has been hesitant to do it. Come to think of it, if she hadn't come this time and saw that there were two more people of the opposite sex around Chen Nuo, and they were both quite good-looking, she would have a sense of crisis, but I am afraid that she might not be able to do this tonight.

However, when she mustered up the courage to send the medicated wine, ready to work with Chen Nuo, you and me, and then both of them achieved good deeds and practiced magic together, she didn't want to make this mistake again, how could she calm down, that is, her heart was cold, and she resented. She put down the wine in the cup, just thinking about waiting for Chen Nuo to be not, not waiting for Chen Nuo to be not, she was really distressed. It was when she hesitated that a group of patrolling soldiers passed by the door slowly, and from their chatter, she couldn't help but feel a thud in her heart, and her face changed.

Because, from their words, she heard a person's name. And this name is also the source of her anger.

"What you just said is the king of Tianwang Zhai?"

As soon as Milai's body moved, he immediately came out of Chen Nuo's side, jumped out of the door, and stopped the patrolling soldier. These three or two people were just idle and talking nonsense, where did they think that they would alarm Milai in the house. They had also seen Mi Lai, but they knew that Mi Lai was very familiar with their general Chen Nuo, and they didn't dare to offend. Suddenly heard her ask, and didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly talked to her. Namilai listened to them before and after, and then understood the general situation of the matter. It turned out that these people also heard the news from the outside, saying that it was the traitor king who ran down from Tianwangzhai at the beginning, and there had been no news, but the town that suddenly appeared in front of him a few days ago, of course, there was no more news. When Millai heard this, his eyes turned red, and he turned his eyes into the room, looking at the two glasses of water and wine on the wooden table, but he was silent. The three or two didn't dare to disturb and went straight away. But Namilai looked at it for a while, and then he had an idea. I also said in my heart, it doesn't matter whether I cultivate or not, the most important thing now is to find the enemy Wang, since there is news of him, but we must not let him escape, otherwise even if the magic is completed in the future, if there is no news of him, who will I find to take revenge? Milley's mind was racing with this thought, so he pulled his eyes back from the wine cup in the house, and without saying a word, he hurried into the night. From time to time, the horse neighed, but Millai rode out of the market town and threw himself at his destination overnight.

Milley suddenly rode away, naturally to alarm the defenders. Only the people who came with Milai before saw that Milai was gone, because they had the responsibility to protect her, so they didn't say a word and threw themselves into chasing after her. As for the others, because she didn't see clearly in the night, and she couldn't react, she let her get away and escaped, but it didn't cause much movement. Not to mention that Milai drove a horse to chase and kill Wang overnight, but only said that after talking to Chen Nuo, Zhao Xue and Cai Wenji, the two daughters, never came out after they each returned to their temporary residence. It's just that Zhao Xue fell asleep quickly on the couch because she was running around for days, not to mention it. Now let's just talk about Cai Wenji, since she said goodbye to Zhao Xue and Chen Nuo returned to the house, she has been stroking the strings, although she doesn't play, but she is silent in her heart, and the waves are undulating.

Speaking of which, although the death of her father Cai Yong won a voice of regret from Shilin, there are many people who repay their grievances. However, because it was Wang Yun who created Cai Yong's unjust case, and Wang Yun has been in control of the court since Dong Zhuo's death, even if Cai Yong's death was dissenting, he would never dare to make a big fuss, but Shi Lin secretly expressed his regret, but no one dared to directly accuse Wang Yun of shouting grievances for Cai Yong for the time being. It is precisely because Cai Yong's death failed to get Zhaoxue that Shilin is silent in the end, and she, as a daughter, is naturally extremely sad. Only her sadness turned into a kind of resentment, that is, she was distressed, and she needed to be comforted by others. At the right time, Chen Nuo dared to avenge his father's grievances in front of her, and he did not shy away from blaming Wang Yun between his words. It was his unintentional help, every time he talked about the itch, Cai Wenji was taken as a bosom friend and sighed silently. Although Chen Nuo was just playing between his lips and tongue, it also aroused the already uneven waves in Cai Wenji's heart, so that she couldn't sleep all night. And she was also moved by Chen Nuo's words, she didn't feel sad, and wanted to touch the piano to express her sorrow, but she thought that it was late at night, and it was really inconvenient to play the piano now, so she had to hold back her thoughts, and only put a pair of delicate jade fingers on the strings and gently stroked them.

Although the piano is silent, Cai Wenji's heart is tumbling, clanging and clanging, chaotic, and she really can't sleep.

She only sat by the piano in the middle of the night and thought a lot, but she didn't have a clue, nothing more than thinking about the total amount of interesting things with her father when she was a child, and she couldn't help but shed tears again. And now, his father was implicated because of Dong Zhuo, so that his head was in a different place, and the end was really pitiful, and he shed tears again. I only missed my father for a long time, and I thought of Chen Nuo's words to comfort her before, but I didn't feel a hot face and a little strange feeling. I didn't feel this feeling at first, but because of Chen Nuo, I thought of Zhao Xue's jokes with her before, saying how good her eldest brother Chen Nuo was, but there was still a lack of a woman Yunyun, I didn't think it at the time, but now I think about it, thinking about Chen Nuo's sometimes cold but gentle face, I don't feel that my heart moved, and the deer followed and collided.

Only when she had this idea, she had to stop it quickly, but the more she had this idea, the more she couldn't hold back the thought. At this time, she was sitting in front of Changqin, but she was sitting with Chen Nuo and Zhao Xue's words, which was pitiful and tickled her heart, and she couldn't sit still anymore. I don't know if it's a ghost, she just feels that her mouth is suddenly dry at this time, and she wants to drink water. I only got up to look for water, but because it was temporary, the water for the troops was also limited, and it was not distributed to her in time, so I really couldn't find a drop. It's in the house, because there are no people, let alone drinking water. She was very thirsty here, so she tried to get some water to quench her thirst, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to sleep. She had this thought, and her mind turned, the real ghost made the god send, and she thought of Chen Nuo for a while. Thinking about it, Chen Nuo lives next to her, and it's not far anyway, so it's convenient to ask him for some water. What's more, she didn't know what was urging her in her heart, so she only had the idea of borrowing water to look at Chen Nuo again. So with this kind of thought, she completely ignored Zhao Xue, and naturally didn't want to go to her.

Cai Wenji only thought about it, so she didn't hesitate anymore, turned around and walked out of the room. It's just that as soon as she went out, she was blown by the cold wind, and she woke up a little at first, and said that it was too late, so it was inconvenient, right? I had this hesitation in my heart, but when I saw that the door of Chen Nuo's room was open, I had the courage to walk over. Only she didn't see the door guard outside the door, and there was no movement in the house, and no one answered after calling twice, only to know that Chen Nuo was gone. Since Chen Nuo was not there, she was not going to go in rashly, but she was just about to turn around, when she suddenly glanced at the two lamps of water and wine on the wooden table in the house, and the aroma of wine overflowed, she couldn't stop her hunger and thirst, no matter what else, she walked in.

Pick up one of them, hesitate, the ghost makes the god send, and he is bored. However, looking at the empty wine cup in her hand, Cai Wenji suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she quickly put down the wine cup, turned around and sneaked out like a thief. When I got out, there was something banging against it in my heart, and my little face was very hot. However, as soon as this thing was done, Cai Wenji had some kind of indescribable stimulation, and as soon as she returned to the room, she snapped and closed the door, feeling a little happy.
