Chapter 212: Deliver it to the door yourself
are all commanding the same knowledge of Cao Yuan's house, study.
Zhao Chen stared at the traces on the inside of the bookshelf, his heart contracted sharply, and his soaked official clothes gradually stiffened his limbs-
"What is this?" Meng Yong followed a few glances and asked lightly with a frown.
There are messy lines drawn there, like children painted by hand, and there is no meaning to be seen.
Zhao Chen didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't look away.
The man had left a secret letter as she had guessed, and although it didn't work in the way of the clan, the lines were all too familiar to her.
This is what he once held her hand and taught her one stroke at a time, taught her to practice literature and martial arts, told her about the terroir of various countries, and took her to hunt and ride horses... A pair of gray eyes smiled softly.
Instead of the Chu Wei battlefield that year, the greed that almost devoured people was scorching-
Zhao Chen sat down against the wall, his brain ached and dull, and the remaining medicine in his body wandered restlessly.
But the face in my memory is getting clearer and clearer.
Nalan Canglie——
Meng Yong shouted at her a few times, but there was no response, and she was about to forcibly take her back to the inn, but she suddenly pulled him.
"It's okay, I'll just sit and rest for a while..."Zhao Chen said in a low voice, "You also sit-"
Meng Yong was full of worry, but she still sat down, and after she lay down on her lap, she took off the mask on her face, "Did you think of something again?" Why don't you go back first? ”
Zhao Chen shook his head, and suddenly asked lightly: "Your uncle betrayed the old martial king, don't you feel sad?" ”
Meng Yong was stunned, thinking that she was because of Cao Yuan and the others, and said, "There's nothing sad, when they betrayed, they were no longer my uncle." ”
He said it lightly, but Zhao Chen's personal experience at the moment told her that she was still sad.
Cang Lie was from a humble background in the clan, but he was highly valued by her father, and even gave him the teaching of the crown prince, and he was also one of the very few people who knew that there was a secret way in the king's tent.
But he also took advantage of these, betraying her father, also thinking that she might run away, and found her-
"If one of them finds out who you are and hides in the shadows and threatens you, you will either be threatened into rebelling with him, become a puppet, or have your identity revealed... What would you do? Zhao Chen paused.
"This is very likely, with the prestige of the old martial king, if I hadn't been lame, I would have been robbed by the old tribe who had a bad heart."
Meng Yong felt strange, but still said: "If only one of them finds out, he really has no hope of controlling me, he won't jump over the wall and choose to expose my identity." ”
"After all, if everyone knows it, there will be many people who want to hold me hostage, and he won't have any advantage." He said lightly, "Since we all have scruples, then I may not accept the threat..."
Zhao Chen listened thoughtfully-
If Cang Lie reveals her identity, then everyone will know that Nalan still has a living king.
As the only royal family that has lasted for hundreds of years in the Mobei grassland, all the tribes have made a blood oath to the Immortal Heaven, and they have surrendered and supported the Nalan clan for generations until they die...
Although it was inevitable that there would be a breach of the oath over time, Nalan remained deeply rooted in orthodoxy, not only recognized by most tribes, but also always had the strength to be the overlord.
Her great-grandfather, Daddy... Once reunification was achieved, it also made other countries dare not underestimate the "steppe barbarians"...
But Nalan eventually perished.
Since then, there is no longer a king in the Mobei grassland, and the tribes have been completely divided into chaos.
But if the news of her life comes out, it will undoubtedly be like meat thrown into a wolf pack, a king who has nothing, which means that she will be frantically contested... Manipulate her to gather the parts.
She didn't want to face such a crisis, and Canglie also wanted to control her alone.
has scruples, she may not be threatened...
Why did Canglie still have the confidence to leave her this kind of secret letter, which obviously asked her to send it to the door herself-
Seeing that she had been distracted, Meng Yong stroked her sweaty hair and said, "What are you doing thinking about all this?" What you say is very unreasonable, and it will not be true. ”
Zhao Chen's head hurt dizzily, and he thought for a while, but then asked, "Where is it unreasonable?" ”
Meng Yong said casually: "As long as the person who secretly threatens has a little brain, he will also think of this stalemate situation, and when there are no other chips, he will not jump out and threaten." ”
"If he had any other chips, he wouldn't have to have any scruples about anything," he said.
Like lightning flashing by, Zhao Chen's scattered thoughts gathered, stiff and stiff.
Cang Lie might know, and other things that could threaten her...
The grassland is violated, and the war will start...
It's the king of Chongqing——
………
The yellow sand is flying, the horse's hooves are falling sharply, and three miles away from the northwest camp, a group of people reined in their horses and stiffened.
Zhao Chen quickly took out the token, and the soldiers who blocked the road lit up, and at the same time asked urgently: "King Yu is in the camp?" ”
"Lord Yushi, please wait a moment, and the general will report it at the end!" The soldier did not answer, and rode his horse backwards.
Zhao Chen suppressed the urge to break through and slowed his breathing.
Since she thought two days ago that Cang Lie might attack King Yu, she didn't care about being suspected by Meng Yong, so she immediately rushed here.
King Yu is her armor, but it is also her weakness-
In the distance, a group of soldiers rode horses, and the general led by him dismounted and saluted, saying: "I have seen Lord Yushi, the battle ahead is urgent, and the commander can't leave, please follow the last general first——"
"Take me to see him..."Zhao Chen's voice came from under the hat.
She is no stranger to the general who came to greet her, it is the deputy general who has followed King Yu for many years, Hou Zhongyu.
Hou Zhongyu immediately heard that it was her, and raised his head in astonishment, "You, why are you here!" ”
Zhao Chen repeated in a steady voice, "Take me to see him." ”
After a few breaths of silence, Hou Zhongyu saluted and got on his horse, and said, "You go into the camp with the last general first..."
The handsome tent in the middle of the camp was heavily guarded, and it seemed that the king of Yu should be inside, but Zhao Chen stopped far away.
After a while, she waved away the others, leaving only Meng Yong, who was silent all the way, before she looked at Hou Zhongyu, "Tell me the truth, what about others?" ”
Hou Zhongyu froze and led them into the empty tent, "Prince Wu, the boss is out of the customs, you settle here first, and wait for him to return——"
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Chen's hand was already on his neck, "Why do you think this king came here?" Tell me, is something wrong with him? ”
"You, how could you..."Hou Zhongyu couldn't hide his surprise, and was immediately deflated, "The secret report came back from outside the gate the night before yesterday... The coach personally led people out of the customs, but there was no trace of an ambush..."
He choked, "The last general was afraid of disturbing the morale of the army, so he had to hide the matter first, and secretly sent his henchmen out of the customs to find out..."
Zhao Chen slowly let go of him and was silent for a long time before asking, "What kind of secret report does he need to go out of the customs in person from the commander of the first army?" ”
Hou Zhongyu was puzzled: "Yes... It was sent back by the person who was planted by the coach in the grassland, and the specific content will not be known at the end. ”
"You go and arrange it, I will get out of the customs immediately." Zhao Chen didn't ask again.
The secret letter that Cang Lie left her has already indicated where she needs to find someone-
