Three hundred and twenty-three: Fire
Since Chen Qing had already taken the first step to track down those carriages, Wei Minzhai and Chu Tingchuan could probably guess which move the other party wanted to take, and after discussing for a while, Chu Tingchuan called Shulin and the others in, and lightly ordered them to send a letter to General Chen.
Shulin didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went.
With precautions, Chu Tingchuan said to Wei Minzhai: "Let's go find the old lady." ”
Wei Minzhai nodded, and the two went to the old lady's yard together.
Mrs. Chen had just finished reading Chen Xin'an's medicine, and she didn't even bother to take a sip of hot tea, when she heard that Chu Tingchuan and Wei Minzhai were here, she hurriedly stood up again and greeted her outside the door.
Wei Minzhai and Chu Tingchuan were very respectful to Mrs. Chen, and when they saw the old lady come out, they both took a few steps forward to greet her, not letting Mrs. Chen salute.
Mrs. Chen was a little apprehensive, and she was still a little puzzled when the two of them came together.
Chu Tingchuan saw it, so he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, old lady, we heard that Miss Chen is sick, so we came over to take a look." ”
Of course, both of them are men, and they are not suitable to visit a sick woman in the room, but they always express their hearts.
Mrs. Chen was a little grateful, and when she mentioned her granddaughter, she was a little sad but still tried her best to keep her calm and said, "It's nothing, just rest for a while." ”
She said, but her expression was worried.
Chu Tingchuan thought for a while and said, "Old lady, forgive me for being presumptuous, in fact, if you talk about it, Miss Chen's condition has improved greatly, I don't think she herself is weak, in fact, she doesn't have to be rigid about where she lives, if you want me to say, she can go wherever she wants to go in the world." If she is in a good mood, she can go back to Beijing with us this time, and she can also meet the crown princess. ”
Chen Xin'an's illness was cured by Zhu Yuan, and she also trusted Zhu Yuan, and when she saw Zhu Yuan, maybe the illness could get better faster.
Old Mrs. Chen knew that Chu Tingchuan had good intentions, but she just smiled bitterly and shook her head, she could still be hurt by someone if she put it by her side, let alone travel far away?
She saw that Chu Tingchuan and Wei Minzhai didn't plan to leave, and after a little thought, she asked Chu Tingchuan and Wei Minzhai to simply go to the open Xuan next door to sit, now that her age is here, there is nothing to avoid.
Chu Tingchuan and Wei Minzhai did not refuse, and followed Mrs. Chen to Changxuan, and everyone gossiped.
It didn't take long for Mrs. Chen to suddenly hear an exclamation outside, and then she saw a large amount of smoke jumping up from the courtyard in the northwest.
The northwest is dry, and so is Datong, if there is a fire, it will not be easy to extinguish, she was suddenly anxious, and hurriedly asked people to see what was going on.
Wei Minzhai and Chu Tingchuan also looked thoughtful.
However, they all behaved very calmly, and the old lady Chen reacted in hindsight, sat on the chair and was surprised for a while, before asking Chu Tingchuan and Wei Minzhai: "Your Highness, commander, do you two know about this?" ”
————
The courtyard in the northwest is where Chu Tingchuan and Wei Minzhai live.
They were so coincidental, they came to visit Chen Xin'an at this time, and the yard where they lived caught fire, where is there such a coincidence in this world?
Now that I think about it, it is a little unreasonable for them to come to visit Chen Xin'an.
After all, they've already sent something before.
Now, there is no need to hide it from Mrs. Chen, Chu Tingchuan saw that Mrs. Chen was a little anxious, so he calmly comforted her: "Old lady don't be nervous, we don't have any intentions." But this time, he may be able to breathe a sigh of relief for Miss Chen. ”
He nodded at Cheng Lan.
Cheng Lan told Mrs. Chen what happened.
Old Mrs. Chen is not an ordinary lady in the back house, as soon as they said it, she understood, sneered and said: "What a good means, in front of the imperial history of the city, but it is such a big moth." ”
The fire outside was getting bigger and bigger, and I could vaguely hear someone shouting for help with all his might, and indicating that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the commander were still in the room.
Old Madam Chen lowered her voice: "Your Highness, they're just afraid that it's not as simple as setting fire, right?" ”
Who can be sure that this fire will definitely be able to burn Chu Tingchuan?
If not, wouldn't it be in vain, so these people must have a second move.
Chu Tingchuan smiled but did not speak.
After a while, there was a sudden sound of fighting outside, and the sound of weapons handing over became clearer and clearer.
Wei Minzhai shouted to her: "Old lady, don't be nervous, we have already arranged manpower, there will be no accident, don't worry." ”
How can this be reassured? After all, swords and guns have no eyes, and water and fire are ruthless.
There are so many lives left in the house.
But she also knew that she couldn't help when she went out, so she had to sit down again anxiously, frowning and very worried.
I don't know how long it was, the sound of fighting outside continued, but the door outside the open xuan where they were suddenly moved, and Mrs. Chen suddenly jumped up like a frightened rabbit, and looked at Chu Tingchuan and Wei Minzhai with her eyes.
"Old lady, please go in first." Chu Tingchuan whispered to Mrs. Chen: "Don't worry, Miss Chen has been settled, it will be fine, and when everything settles, you will be able to see her." ”
Mrs. Chen was in a hurry to go out precisely because she was worried about her granddaughter, and when she heard Chu Tingchuan say that it had already been arranged, she hesitated for a moment, but finally listened to Chu Tingchuan's words and turned her head inside.
There were only a few left in the courtyard, Cheng Lan and Wakakiri.
Ruo Muli has always been quiet, mainly because although he can understand some Da Zhou dialect, he is still confused about them every time he goes around the bend, so he can be quiet for a while.
Now that he heard the movement outside getting louder and louder, he glanced at a few grassland men, scattered and hid at the courtyard wall, making an attacking posture, and staring at the courtyard gate with thick smoke.
The courtyard door was tentatively pushed a few times, as if because there was no response, the action outside quickly became a little heavier, and after a while, it was completely pushed open with a bang, and a group of people came in along the thick smoke, and at the same time a voice also sounded: "Search!" To live to see people, to die to see corpses! ”
Yang Yushi's face was serious, and his eyes were full of deceived anger.
He went to Chu Tingchuan and Wei Minzhai's yard just now, and finally waited until the fire was over, but found that the people were not there at all----- he grabbed a girl and interrogated him, only to know that before the fire, Chu Tingchuan and Wei Minzhai were not in the yard.
