Chapter 182: Siege
Cheng Xiangjin didn't know how Mrs. Cheng coaxed Cheng Siyi, but when everyone had dinner together, Cheng Siyi's mood was obviously not so awkward.
At the wine table, Cheng Changzhi once again expressed his gratitude to Bai Su, and at the same time expressed his gratitude to his friend Mo Qihan for his constant care.
The next day, the group said goodbye to Mo Qihan.
Before leaving, Mo Qihan repeatedly invited them to come back to Kuy in the future. Second Master Cheng looked at the faces of his wife and children, and saw that they didn't show anything, so he responded happily.
With the departure of the mighty team, this trip to the Western Regions can be regarded as a thrilling completion of the task.
When he was resting, Cheng Siyi was still very curious about what Bai Su was doing when he entered the palace, and while everyone was resting, he came to Bai Su's horse alone.
"You're not tired after walking so far? Got something to do here? ”
Cheng Siyi looked at both sides, saw that no one was paying attention to them, and sat opposite Bai Su.
"According to my father, you were very much appreciated by King Nachabe when you came to the Shanshan Palace, and even many officials praised you. Anyway, now that the matter has been completed, you also revealed to your brother that what did you do on this trip to their palace? Otherwise, how boring and boring should the long road in Chang'an be this time? ”
Bai Su glanced at him, "Didn't you just help him detoxify and save his life at the request of Na Chabei, didn't you already know this from your uncle and aunt?" ”
Cheng Siyi waved his hand, "Of course I know this." What I want to ask is, what mission did the emperor in Chang'an City send you? The mystery has been mysterious for so long, and now that the task is complete, it should be able to reveal a little, right? ”
Bai Su raised his eyes and looked at him, "Since I know that it is a secret mission, it is naturally not open to the public." Anyway, when you return to Chang'an, you will naturally know. ”
Cheng Siyi and the others scratched their hearts and livers, how could they be willing to let him fool around like this. Taking advantage of his silence, he whispered tentatively: "Could it be about the trade between the two countries?" ”
Bai Su did not say anything, nor did he deny it.
Cheng Siyi felt that there was a play, and guessed again, "The new emperor has ascended the throne, and the surrounding countries have not yet worshiped the new emperor." Could it be that on the occasion of the new emperor's wedding, he invited them to Chang'an to face the saint? ”
Bai Su still played with the weeds in his hands and didn't say a word.
"According to the previous practice, whenever there are foreign envoys to Beijing for pilgrimage, in order to better consolidate the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the emperors of the past dynasties will have a marriage or something, did you mention this in your mission this time?"
Bai Su saw that the team in front of him was packing up and was ready to go, so he turned around and patted Cheng Siyi on the shoulder.
"Don't guess, even if the DPRK and China prepare to marry in the future, it will be a matter for the princes and princesses. You are a tea house, just sell tea well, what do you do when you ask so much? ”
Cheng Siyi patted the weeds on his buttocks angrily, and muttered to Bai Su's turned back: "Dude, I'm not worried that you will be looked down upon by King Chabei, in case you ask the new emperor to give you to a certain princess in Shanshan, will your emperor agree or not?" ”
When Bai Su heard his words, he paused and turned around.
"Don't worry, even if I get married, the emperor will not send me to the Western Regions. However, the other princes and disciples in the capital are undecided, and they are not allowed to marry a princess of the Western Regions as a wife! By the way, Brother Chu Yang doesn't know if he has talked about family affairs at home, and a young talent like him is the most favored by foreign princesses! ”
The ability was already there, Bai Su didn't stop any longer, raised his eyes to look at the frame in front of him that was about to leave, and jumped on the horse.
Cheng Siyi pondered Bai Su's words, and quickly came to Gan Lin, who was about to leave.
"Let them go first, I have something to explain to you."
Gan Lin dismounted, "What's the matter with the second son?" ”
"When you arrive at the post station in the evening, do you want to send a letter to your uncle?"
Gan Lin nodded, "Yes, tell your lord that I have successfully received the second master and his wife." Doesn't the second son also want to send a letter? ”
Cheng Siyi nodded, "You just need to ask at the end of the letter you wrote whether the eldest brother's family affairs have been decided." ”
Gan Lin didn't understand why he wanted to add such a headless sentence, Cheng Siyi patted him on the shoulder, "Just do it." ”
"Understood."
Four or five days later, the group walked to Wuzhen again, where they had stayed before. Cheng Changzhi originally planned to go to Yier City to make another stop. However, Bai Su and the others once again attracted the attention of the gang of black-clothed rao, so they proposed to rest in Wuzhen for a day in advance.
However, even so, as soon as they stepped into Wuzhen, they still sensed that there were unscrupulous forces secretly following them.
The people of the town also seemed to smell a little different, it was not dark, and there were no more people on the street.
Sensing that the danger was getting closer and closer, Bai Su and Cheng Siyi had a tacit understanding to protect the two carriages in front of them in the middle.
The other party's goal seems to be very clear, which is to kill them.
The murderous aura around them was too obvious, and before Gan Lin and the others had time to think about where this group of people and horses was, the ice blades that flashed cold around them came straight towards them.
The sound of ice blades intersecting instantly spread in the cold evening.
Listening to this fight without warning, Cheng Xiangjin sat in the car like pins and needles.
Through the gap in the car curtain, Cheng Xiangjin saw the tragedy outside. She didn't understand, they didn't provoke anyone along the way, why did anyone still kill them?
"Could it be them?"
Thinking of the woman in black who had robbed her and Ganyu in Yier City, Cheng Xiangjin felt more and more confused.
"In this place, the only one who has had a holiday with us is the one who robbed the girl and Ganyu. However, I have already cleared up with them. Today's situation, I must regret it again. ”
Ganyu, who rarely spoke, also had inner thoughts at this time.
"There is another possibility, that is, I fell in love with the truckloads of goods behind the second master. Come for the money! ”
Cheng Xiangjin thought about it, and also felt that Ganyu's idea seemed more likely.
Under the black curtain, there are skirts one after another, and at the same time, I don't know how many people rush up again. The sound of fighting continued for most of the hour.
As Bai Su and the others grabbed the last person, this fierce and tragic fight came to an end.
Gan Lin and the others took the first step to escort the frightened Cheng Changzhi and his wife and Cheng Xiangjin back to the inn, and at the same time sent many people to protect them in secret.
Bai Su and Cheng Siyi took the only surviving person on the other side to an uninhabited dilapidated house and began the interrogation.
"By whom are you commanded? Why are so many people besieging us? What is the purpose? ”
The man in black looked around with a blank look and a mocking smile.
"The purpose? Hehe, can't you see it now? Hehe, it's to kill you all! ”
"Why? Who told you to do this? ”
