Chapter 172: Figure it out
Chen Luo, who was hiding in Baishiqiao, was washing his face.
The group of rangers just now didn't know what they had taken and put on his face, and he immediately looked like he was seriously ill and dying, and now that they were ready to enter the city, they couldn't still dress like this.
I just don't know what happened to Wang Xi?
Knowing that he was besieged and killed, Wang Xi must have been very worried.
I'll have to find a way to get her back on the news.
Chen Luo packed up and stopped, and when he went out, he asked where Wang Xi was.
Wang Xi was discussing with a few rangers in the courtyard about entering the city, and when he heard the movement, he hurriedly responded: "What do you order?" ”
Chen Luo looked at the several rangers who were all looking at him with burning eyes, but he couldn't say anything about the concern on his lips, and simply said, "Do you have a good idea?" ”
The leader was the one who spoke in a rather flirtatious voice, and he said sarcastically: "No! I don't know what the adults think? It stands to reason that it is normal for people like us to be in the east today and in the west tomorrow without a way, why did adults grow up in the capital since childhood, and they have served in the royal guard since they were children, and they have never thought of leaving a way back for themselves? ”
That's impossible.
It depends on whether Chen Luo is willing to be exposed, and whether he is willing to use it for them.
Several rangers thought so, and Chen Luo's gaze suddenly became a little subtle.
Wang Xi only listened to Wang Xi's instructions, and didn't care very much about whether Chen Luo was willing to use his own way for them, and said busily: "Everyone is in the same boat at this time, why do you care so much?" I believe that if it is convenient for adults, they will definitely not be stingy. If you don't say it at this time, it's definitely inconvenient......"
It's just that before he finished his words, a ranger who had been sent outside to watch the wind broke in with a nervous look and said hurriedly: "Oh no! The house in Baishiqiao was discovered, and the people who were left in the house by Lord Chen were plundered and killed. ”
Everyone was stunned.
This is the outskirts of the capital, even if Chen Luo commits the great crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans, it will not be the turn of the arrester to be executed, not to mention that the people Chen Luo left in the other house are two women who don't know anything. It stands to reason that such a decisive method should not be used.
Everyone looked at Chen Luo.
Chen Luo's face was very ugly.
It's not that he feels that he has lost face, but the things that he didn't think about when his heart was dead before are all in his mind one by one at this time.
Since the emperor wanted to kill him, he also sent Ma San to come forward, even if Wang Xi invited the top rangers on the rivers and lakes, they should not run away so smoothly.
Now that they have run away, it means that Ma San is no longer able to chase them, and who are those who kill people in his house?
Are they trying to kill people or are they not looking for him to vent their anger?
Chen Luo thought of the great prince who had attracted most of the troops.
If the eldest prince dies, let's not talk about who is the biggest beneficiary for the time being, but only talk about his situation, how will everyone criticize him?
Chen Luo's heart set off a stormy wave.
He asked the ranger who had come to tell the news, "Do you know who killed the murderer?" ”
The ranger said, "It should be with the people who are chasing us." I recognize one of the guys we stabbed at Lingguang Temple. ”
Chen Luo's brain was like lightning and thunder.
He turned around and went back to the inner room, took a sword, and ran out, and said to a few rangers: "I will pay you the same as your host, please go with me to save people, which of you is willing to go?" ”
Several people looked at each other.
One of them tentatively asked, "What if you don't want to go?" ”
Chen Luo smiled: "Then I'm sorry, I can only stay here for a few days." ”
He is a person who doesn't laugh much, and his smile looks extraordinarily bright, like the summer sun, and with a bit of heroism, but I don't know why, a few rangers who have been working hard all year round and have already had an instinct like an animal instinctively feel the danger.
To go or not to go?
A few people, you look at me, I look at you.
It was the man with a flirtatious voice who gritted his teeth and was the first to say, "I'll go." He also tactfully persuaded several other people, "Anyway, it's already here, and it's impossible to get involved, and it's impossible to get out." It's better to follow Lord Chen, maybe you can still have a cable life. ”
Oh, yes! The other one who was hunted down was the Great Prince.
They are obviously kicked to the iron plate, they thought it was a dispute between the princes, but I am afraid that now it has escalated into a dispute between the princes. They want to get out, but they also want to see if they have that life.
"Okay!" One of them quickly made it clear as well, "Count me in." He also winked at a few of his companions and teased, "If you don't make money, that's a bastard." ”
All of them who can survive to this day are shrewd and capable people, and several others have also expressed their willingness to go through this experience with Chen Luo.
Wang Xi was relieved.
Chen Luo pursed his lips, with a bit of sarcasm and contempt in his smile, and said, "Then you'd better follow closely." If I'm not mistaken, the suburbs of Beijing are already full of the emperor's personal guards. As you said, I grew up in the capital since I was a child, and I have been working as an errand boy in the royal guards since I was a child, and I know a few people more or less, and we can hide in Baishiqiao, because someone wants to let me go. If you are left alone, I am afraid that you will not have the same good luck as me. ”
Someone laughed wryly, and forced down the little thought in his heart that he was ready to escape halfway.
Chen Luo doesn't care, everyone turned out to be Pingshui, they took money to do things, and they were able to keep their promises in this situation, which is already considered a righteous sky, can they still make people die for you?
He strode out of the courtyard, and while going to the Lingguang Temple, he said, "Since everyone is going to get through the difficulties together at this time, I can't help but say something to you." Someone wants the eldest prince to die. As long as we can save the eldest prince, we can live without worry. Otherwise, even if we can escape on our own, eight or nine times out of ten will be a dead word. Don't leave anything to chance. ”
Chen Luo was afraid that he would not be able to convince these people who were used to wandering the rivers and lakes, and he also made an analogy: "It's like a general, defeated in battle, but he can't live and die with the city, and live and die with the people. ”
When he said this, he somehow remembered his father, Chen Yu, the prince of Zhenguo.
For the first time since this dynasty, Chen Yu should be the only one who escaped this punishment, right?
He smiled coldly, and his heart seemed to be frozen for thousands of miles.
He didn't think about it before, thinking that the emperor just wanted to simply kill him and blame the eldest prince, but after he escaped, he found that such an escape was too simple and too child's play, and it was obvious that someone had let him go.
But why did he just let him go?
For it is better for him to live than to die!
Only if he is alive can things be confusing - does the death of the eldest prince have anything to do with him? Is he standing behind the second prince or the queen? Does his mother, the eldest princess, know about this? Was his father, Zhen Guogong, involved in this?
Even the emperor could send someone to interrogate him and get all kinds of "confessions".
But if he dies, there is only one result.
He may be another victim.
Don't say that the death of the eldest prince has nothing to do with him, his mother and father can also ask the emperor to avenge him.
Of course, if the emperor can't catch the murderer, he can still compensate.
For example, Feng Chen Ying is the son of the world.
The corners of Chen Luo's mouth were slightly upturned, his eyebrows and eyes were slightly curved, and he smiled faintly.
But someone, like him, didn't understand the key to this, and when he was ordered to let him live, he chased after him unwillingly.
He should actually be thankful for these talents.
If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have figured it out so quickly.
Even the leader of this group of rangers couldn't figure it out, and asked him in confusion: "Although the eldest prince can't get out of it if something happens, we don't necessarily have to turn back, right?" We'll just kill those who are chasing you. ”
Chen Luo glanced at him with a smile and said, "Do you know where they showed their feet?" ”
The leader shook his head.
These wealthy children are too complicated, so he said that he shouldn't take this job, but the price offered by the Wang family is too high, and they can almost retire after taking this word, and everyone can't resist such a temptation.
Sure enough, there is no good banquet, there is no good play, such a high price, money has to bite the hand.
Chen Luo laughed and said self-deprecatingly: "The emperor transferred people from the Datong General Military Mansion to the capital on an errand a few days ago, but I just thought he was not worried about the complicated relationship in the pro-guard army. ”
thought that the emperor wanted to monitor or protect the eldest prince, but it turned out that he was afraid that the news would leak out, so he simply changed his guard.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with that.
The mistake is that among these people, there must be people from the Shi family.
He and Chen Ying have been fighting for the son of the world for so many years, why others are watching the excitement from the side, because the matter between the two brothers is very easy to solve, as long as the emperor is willing, the Chen family can be one family and two marquis, and there is no conflict at all. It depends on the emperor's mood.
Only an upstart like the Shi family, who knows a little bit about it, thinks that if he kills him, Chen Ying's position will be secure.
It's really better to count people than to be counted by heaven.
It was precisely these people who showed their feet.
let him see the emperor's intentions clearly.
"It can be seen that God is on our side." Chen Luo smiled and said, "No matter how bad Jingwei's people are, they can't be worse than those fools from Datong." They can all find the white stone bridge, how can the people of Jingwei seem to be blind. ”
If you think about it, it is clear that these people who besieged him had been ordered to let him go quietly. There are only those fools from Datong, who think they are clever and think that the people in Jingwei are all idle eaters, and they chase and kill them all the way in private.
However, it is also possible that they also received orders but were unwilling to let go of such a good opportunity.
In this way, there are no people under the Shi family who can do it.
Chen Luo pondered in his heart and asked a few rangers: "Which of you is the best at tracking and the like, I want to find the eldest prince as soon as possible." I'm afraid we're going late. ”
If the eldest prince is dead, he is still alive and is in the hands of some people.
Then he might as well be dead.
Wang Xiyi's delicate face surfaced in Chen Luo's mind.
If he dies and goes to Shuzhong, I don't know if Wang Xi will take him in.
He was thinking wildly, and a ranger suddenly fell to the ground, listened carefully for a while, and then raised his head hurriedly and said, "There are no less than thousands of horsemen coming towards us. ”
I didn't expect that these rangers have their own abilities.
Chen Luo retracted his heart and said, "Can we avoid it in time?" ”
The man shook his head.
