Chapter Ninety-Seven: Stratagem
Chapter Ninety-Seven: Stratagem
All the unfortunate things seem to have come together. Chen Shuangchuan only felt that his brain was very messy, stuffing too many things, as if he would explode if he was not careful, and only said to Chen Caichun with a bitter face: "Let me sleep first, these things will be talked about tomorrow, there will always be a way." ”
Chen Shuangchuan really ran out of strength, almost fell asleep as soon as he got into bed, frowning heavily, but he had something in his heart, he only slept for four or five o'clock, Chen Shuangchuan woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the family was worried about the surroundings, and when he saw Chen Shuangchuan waking up, he jumped up and cried.
After saying it once, Chen Shuangchuan knew that so many things had happened these days, and he frowned deeply, this thing happened too much by coincidence, there were pirates over there, robbers here, and within two days, even He Jinbao and Guo Wuyan disappeared.
And what Chen Dali said, Chen Shuangchuan still remembers it to the present. Whoever offended, then someone must have instructed these things behind, otherwise these pirates and robbers would not have come one after another as if they had made an appointment.
It's just that who is this person, who has hatred with the He family, with He Jinbao or with Chen Shuangchuan?
After thinking about it a lot, Chen Shuangchuan only felt that the most likely thing should be because of the struggle in the court, but He Jinbao rarely told her about those things, Chen Shuangchuan really didn't understand it, and he couldn't guess it.
After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Shuangchuan could only go to Ding Xiancheng for advice. Ding Xiancheng also knew the general thing, but Duqiao County was a remote place, and there were few officials, and in order to resist the robbers, there were several dead and wounded, and Ding Xiancheng was also a little anxious, and he couldn't be busy at all.
I can only write down the documents here, submit them, and wait for Guo Wuyi to judge.
Chen Shuangchuan has no choice, even if she is worried about He Jinbao, she has nowhere to find it, and she is afraid that those people will come again, and there are still two children at home, Chen Shuangchuan can only be more and more careful.
Up to now, in addition to women and children, there is only one man in the family, Liu Dashan, and at this time, Chen Shuangchuan can't take care of anything else, so he specially asked Liu Dashan to live in front, in case there is a situation, it is better to respond.
After taking a wooden board to repair the broken doors and windows, Chen Caichun thought about what happened that night. specially made some hiding places in a few inconspicuous corners, so that He Ruyu and He Jue remembered clearly, and whenever something was wrong, they hid there.
Chen Shuangchuan was injured, He Jinbao was unknown in life and death, the family was a little lost, even the youngest He Jue seemed to feel scared, and he didn't dare to speak loudly, and he also had some melancholy in his little heart, for fear that Chen Shuangchuan would disappear again, and with He Ruyu, the two of them followed Chen Shuangchuan all day long, and the little tail refused to leave.
Chen Shuang still laughed when he fell, pinched his face, and said: "No matter how bitter your face is, the delicacies of the mountains and seas will feel unpalatable, and if you laugh at one, it will get better." ”
"Brother, will he come back too?"
"Of course, He Jinbao is a man who went into battle to kill the enemy to protect his family and defend the country, how can this thing be difficult for him?"
Listening to Chen Shuangchuan's words, He Jue also proudly held out his little chest and said vaguely: "He Jue's father is a man. He Jue will also grow into a man. ”
"Okay, little man He Jue, you have to learn to dress yourself first." Chen Shuangchuan couldn't help but scratch the bridge of He Jue's small nose and said, seeing that He Jue had promised it in a hurry, he hurriedly ran to practice dressing.
Chen Caichun felt sorry for He Jue and couldn't help complaining, saying: "He is just a little bigger, with such small arms and legs, why do you bother to toss him, it's not that he is not free, I just wear it for him, can it be troublesome?" ”
"Third sister, He Jue is three years old, he should always learn something, otherwise if we are not here, how will he live?"
"Something's wrong?" Chen Caichun couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked Chen Shuang, "Do you know something happened?" ”
"I don't know." Chen Shuangchuan shook her head, covered her chest, and said, "I don't know what happened, it's just that the third sister, I'm very scared here, and I always feel that it's happening, and I'm very uneasy." ”
Chen Shuangchuan turned around and found out the title deed of Shunxinfang and handed it to Chen Caichun, and told her the location of the He family in detail, which couldn't help but make Chen Caichun nervous, smiled reluctantly, and said, "You are still the same as when you were a child, you haven't changed at all." Always say the good, but do it with the worst. It's just that I think too much about it, so I can't live comfortably. ”
Chen Shuang was stunned for a long time before saying: "I'm just afraid, in the past, as long as I was planning for food and clothing, the worst thing was just to be punished by my mother-in-law to kneel in the ancestral hall, waiting to be the wife of this labor-management official, but I often have to worry about my neck, and I don't know if my head will be on it tomorrow." Sometimes I really feel like I can't go on with such a day. ”
"You, you just love to worry about it, just think about how many people feel envious. The little people also have the suffering of the little people, think about it, when you can't eat, you can't dress warmly, you don't have money to get sick and you don't have money for medical treatment, how many times do you have the chance to die, we have grown so big, and we have lost luck. ”
"Hmm." Chen Shuangchuan nodded and smiled, stretched out his hand and flicked between Chen Caichun's eyebrows, and said, "So don't frown, it'll always be fine." ”
That being said, there has been no news from He Jinbao. Chen Shuangchuan slowly couldn't hold his hand, his smile became more and more reluctant, so it has been more than ten days since He Jinbao disappeared, no matter how the officials find it, there is no clue, Ding County Cheng has already encountered an accident in and out of his words, and even the officials have recovered most of it, and the rest must not be able to look for it again.
Chen Shuangchuan didn't know what to do, she was naturally worried about He Jinbao, but no matter how worried she was, she wouldn't be able to change He Jinbao if she didn't think about it. And Chen Shuang's life is not only He Jinbao, she still has two small ones to take care of. can only force a smile, pretending to be nothing, throwing what should be done is doing, and it doesn't look much different from usual.
At the end of March, someone from Guo Wuyi's side finally came, but he announced with a cold face that He Jinbao would be punished for the crime of leaving his post without permission.
Whether it is a crime, it can only be determined if someone is found, but now, Chen Shuang has a feeling that he has a lot of debts and does not worry about repaying them, this situation is already so bad that it can't be worse, and he doesn't feel surprised anymore.
That night, the He family quietly came to two guests, one of whom was a man in his early thirties, although he looked like a tiger with a tall waist, but he looked strangely like a gentleman, as if he was just an ordinary talent, and his movements were like standard martial artists, concise and powerful. No matter how you look at it, I think it's a very strange person.
This person claimed to be surnamed Guo Ming, and there was no belching.
And although the other Chen Shuangchuan met for the first time, he had also heard of his name, Guo Wuyan, that is, Guo Wuyan, who saved Chen Caichun once, and Guo Wuyan, who disappeared with He Jinbao.
Guo regrets, Guo Wuxiao, or Guo Wuxiao who followed Guo Wuyan, now even Chen Shuangchuan knows who this person is, Caili County Thorn History, He Jinbao's top boss.
"My husband's family is ...... Okay? There are many words without mistakes" Chen Shuangchuan stared at Guo Wuyan, saw him nodded, and for a while he only felt that his heart was very complicated, since Guo Wuyan could appear here well, then He Jinbao was probably fine, and he had been missing for so long, Chen Shuangchuan only felt that it should be because of the court.
If you know, you know, but you are so scared in the dark. Even if Chen Shuang's temper was good, he felt a little annoyed, and his eyes couldn't help but fade when he saw these two people, and said lightly: "I'm just a woman, these big things, Lord Thorn Shi, please discuss with my husband's family." ”
Guo Wuyi smiled and said, "No wonder King Wen wants you so carefully, you are really a special girl." ”
"Please don't say strange things." Chen Shuangchuan frowned, she only heard Guo Wuyi say that he had any news of Jinbao before she came out to see them, but she didn't expect to be inexplicably involved with King Wen, Chen Shuangchuan felt a little bad, and suddenly told her this kind of confidential thing, it always seemed that she had other plans.
Almost no one knew the news of Guo Wuyi's arrival in Duqiao County, and after chatting with Chen Shuangchuan, he quietly went to the barracks to arrange the next deployment.
I don't know if he told Chen Shuangchuan, after leaving, Chen Shuangchuan sat alone and thought about it for a long time.
The next day, Chen Shuangchuan began to pack up and salute, saying that he had something to go to Caili County. Chen Caichun didn't know much about these things, and he didn't have any doubts, and he thought that it was too unsafe for pirates and robbers here, so he might as well bring the two small ones to Caili County.
Chen Shuangchuan only said that this long journey is even more unsafe, and it will only take a day or two to hurry up, and the family will ask Chen Caichun to leave.
At seven or eight o'clock, the carriage came, Chen Shuangchuan only brought a package and got into the car, no one brought it, just hugged two small ones for a while, He Ruyu gradually grew older, and was a little embarrassed, blushing and saying that she was already an adult, Chen Shuangchuan touched her head with a smile and said: "Then Aunt Ruyu listens to Sister Caichun's words, you can't talk to He Jue." ”
When He Jue heard this, he also learned to say: "He Jue is also an adult, He Jue will take care of his aunt." ”
Chen Shuangchuan just stroked the top of his head, smiled silently, and got into the carriage.
This line, including Chen Shuangchuan, was only two or three people, and they looked quite lonely, and Chen Shuangchuan seemed to be very dissatisfied, just sitting and thinking about his own business.
Until now, Chen Shuangchuan is still a little puzzled, Guo Wuyi said that King Wen is deliberately trying to catch Chen Shuangchuan, if he uses her as bait, he will definitely take the bait, but what is King Wen trying to catch her? If it weren't for Sima Ziheng, maybe it might be Guo Wuyi who told a lie.
It's just that whether it is being a bait or being deceived by Guo Wuyi, Chen Shuang's situation is not good, and it is even very dangerous.
But since He Jinbao has been missing for so long, he should also be quite dangerous, so dangerous that he has to pretend to be dead, and he doesn't even have time to pass any news to his family.
Therefore, Chen Shuangchuan chose to follow Guo Wuyi's idea, but I don't know if this risk is correct.
was thinking about it, but the car stopped slowly, and when she heard someone calling her out, Chen Shuangchuan knew that this should be out of Duqiao County, because it was a bait, it was always difficult to go too fast, so she stopped and rested after not walking for long.
When he got out of the carriage, Chen Shuangchuan found out that the coachman wearing a hat was actually the dignified Assassin Shi Master Guo Wuyi, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth and smiled: "How lucky I am to be able to work hard to stab Lord Shi to catch the car." ”
"Since I brought you out, I had to save your life and go back." Lord Thorn Shi didn't care either, and when he said that, he always felt that it was unspeakably harsh.
Chen Shuangchuan was not in the mood to say much to Guo Wuxiao, got off the car and ate some dry food, rested for a while, and then returned to the carriage and sat still.
By the next night, the long-awaited group of robbers finally appeared.
Chen Shuangchuan didn't see it at all, only felt that Guo Wuyi suddenly stood up and signaled to her, Chen Shuangchuan hurriedly ran to the carriage, climbed up with his hands and feet, and closed the carriage door firmly.
In this sealed carriage, there was no outside situation at all, and Chen Shuangchuan only heard the sonorous sound of swords colliding, and from time to time there was a muffled sound piercing through the body, and there were some piercing screams.
Even after experiencing that incident, when this kind of killing scene happened around him, Chen Shuangchuan still couldn't stop being afraid, and his whole body trembled a little, so he hurriedly crawled over and took out the small package he was carrying, and there was a kitchen knife hidden at the bottom, which Chen Shuangchuan secretly took to defend himself.
I don't know what happened outside, I only heard the sound getting closer and closer, Chen Shuangchuan couldn't help but want to lift the curtain to take a look, but suddenly he heard the sound of breaking through the air, and he hurriedly hid in the corner without thinking, only to see a row of arrows coming in from the window, plopping and stabbing to the seat, and a few actually pierced the carriage, if it wasn't for Chen Shuangchuan holding a kitchen knife to block it, it would even pierce Chen Shuangchuan's body.
How could this be, Guo Wuyi kept saying that Sima Ziheng was thinking of capturing Chen Shuang alive as a hostage!
Looking at it again, the long arrow that came in by chance, Chen Shuangchuan only felt his heart sink, and he only felt that he would be killed sooner or later if he continued like this.
Hiding in this small carriage for a while, Chen Shuangchuan only felt that there was almost no safe place left for her, so she had no choice but to go to the door, thinking about escaping outside.
At this time, a spear suddenly stabbed in, brushing Chen Shuangchuan's cheek, almost not piercing her head, Chen Shuangchuan screamed in fright, and subconsciously slashed with a kitchen knife, but before he could cut it, he felt a warm and viscous liquid on his face, and a corpse slowly fell down the door.
Then I heard Guo Wuyi's very angry voice: "Little girl, don't dance with a knife and a gun, it's not good to hurt someone by mistake." ”
Chen Shuangchuan only felt very scared, where did he still have the strength to answer, but the people over there were telling Guo Wuyi to say that he had caught a live mouth, Chen Shuangchuan looked at it blankly, it was only after a while, this fight was actually over, both sides were ruthless, and they could see broken hands and feet everywhere, blood flowed like a river, and the blood was very cruel.
Holding back his fear and looking slowly, not far away, Guo Wuyi was holding a robber to ask, Chen Shuangchuan didn't dare to lean too closely, just pricked up his ears, but only vaguely heard "King Wen...... Threat...... The grace of saving lives, the emperor looks down on Mrs. He......"
After a little stringing, it can probably be concluded that Sima Ziheng thinks that Chen Shuangchuan has a life-saving grace for Emperor Sima Zixia, and Sima Zixia has unspeakable personal feelings for Chen Shuangchuan, so he will think of arresting Chen Shuangchuan to blackmail Sima Zixia.
Talking about the emperor is a capital crime, Chen Shuangchuan only felt that just listening to it was already a big rebellion, so he hurriedly took a few steps back, and wanted to go back to the carriage, but it was almost ruined, and Chen Shuangchuan could only sit down outside.
Probably Guo Wuyi didn't dare to listen to this kind of words, so he only asked a few more words, that is, he raised his hand and fell, killed the hostage very simply, said a few words to his subordinates, and then came over to Chen Shuang's side, and said, "After that, what is Mrs. He going to do?" ”
I don't know why, Chen Shuangchuan only felt that his heartbeat was very strong, as if he had been immersed in ice water all of a sudden, it was cold and cold, his mouth was open, and it took a while to find his voice back, and said with difficulty: "If there is nothing to do with me, I will naturally go home." ”
Guo Wuyi stared at Chen Shuangchuan and looked at it carefully, and he was about to see Chen Shuangchuan feel furious in his heart, so he nodded and said, "I'll ask someone to send you back." ”
In the year of Bingzi, Sima Ziheng, the king of Wen, rebelled, raised troops in Yincheng County, marched to fifty miles and encountered the blockage of the county soldiers, the two armies were deadlocked for several days, Sima Ziheng suddenly abandoned the army and surrendered, since the front of the army, since then there is no king during the period of Emperor Jianing, and all the land belongs to Sima Zixia.
He Jinbao came back at the end of May and had been missing for two months, if it weren't for Chen Shuangchuan's insistence, I'm afraid that everyone else would have wanted to send him an obituary.
"I'm back." Chen Shuangchuan didn't know how to say something good to He Jinbao, it was okay at first, everyone was around He Jinbao to ask this and that, Chen Shuangchuan was also busy Zhang Luo hot water and food, but when she was the only one left to face He Jinbao, although Chen Shuangchuan had countless words and countless questions, he couldn't say half a sentence, so he could only sit relatively silent and speechless.
He Jinbao also seemed to be a little embarrassed, touched his head, and said for a long time: "It's the last time, there won't be such a thing in the future, really." ”
"If you're always so frightened, I'd rather you weren't this official."
Looking at Chen Shuang's sigh, He Jinbao didn't know what to say.
...
