Chapter 31: The Search for the Secret Letter (1)
As an emperor, he is suspicious, the emperor sits in the palace, relying on a group of subordinates as eyes and ears to govern the world, so is what others report is what they listen to? Therefore, in the face of a number of choices, the emperor will only find answers in his favor.
Today's emperor is an emperor who likes dictatorship, and people who like dictatorship are more paranoid and don't trust others much, so this matter is intolerable, and his old man still wants to borrow from the sky for another five hundred years, what is the purpose of you and his subordinate generals?
What's the matter, small talk isn't a woo? Have you ever wanted to overstep your authority if you asked him to do something? No matter what the reason, he is not allowed to have personal relations with ministers and generals, and the generals with heavy troops are the emperor's death hole.
This letter alone is no longer a child's play, if the content of this letter is too serious, or if it involves important people around the masked man, whether he will be killed, but in order to confirm the authenticity of the letter, I have to read it.
What the masked man said was very clear, the bandits had no intention of moving the merchant ships, and since the bandits had no intention of making money, they would see if the beauty was feasible.
The leader of the water bandits should also know that he has taken a hot potato, and he must wait and see the situation in the near future, but the water bandits have some scruples about money and dare not make a move? Can that pair of women be moved?
Cheng Chen also hoped that the bandit leader would have any scruples and not come out to hijack the ship, and if he didn't hijack the ship, he wouldn't know that there were female dependents on the ship, so Cheng Chen would have the right to travel on this trip.
In the early morning of the second day, Cheng Chen got up very early, and there was a big stone in his heart, so he didn't sleep deeply, and it was almost midnight when he saw the sky.
Cheng Chen put on his riding clothes, casually packed some bags, and went to call the two girls, and asked them to bring a few sets of clothes and go out.
This time, the masked man should have informed Lu Jun, so there was no escort to follow, Cheng Chen took a carriage to the gate of Chang'an City, the city gate was also open, and Cheng Chen's carriage went out of the city.
"Xizhu, Xiaoqing! Miss has something to do, and you don't have to come with you, someone will take you to a place to wait for Miss first! Cheng Chen looked at the two little girls and said.
"Where is Miss going? But it's inconvenient to take us with you? Xiaoqing asked curiously.
"Xiaoqing, don't ask again, Miss must have something important and can't bring us, let's wait for Miss to come back with peace of mind!"
Xizhu looked at Cheng Chen with a worried face, she understood the true identity of the young lady.
Cheng Chen felt Xizhu's concerned gaze, and showed Xizhu a smile that reassured her. The two have relied on each other for many years, and it is inevitable that she cares about Cheng Chen, and Cheng Chen doesn't want Xizhu to worry.
The carriage stopped suddenly, and Cheng Chen opened the curtain and saw Lihong.
Lihong was dressed as a man today, wearing a flat scarf, a long gown with a wide embroidered robe, the exposed skin was smeared with a layer of something that looked a lot darker, and a natural-looking beard was pasted on his face.
Cheng Chen jumped out of the carriage and waved his hand to the two maids who were watching him, then turned around and walked towards Lihong.
"Why aren't you in the city?" Cheng Chen asked curiously.
"My subordinates still have something to do, so I went out of Chang'an City last night, Miss, this groom is his own person, he will take the two girls to a courtyard outside the city to settle down, and he won't wronged them!" Lihong saw Cheng Chen's concern about the two little girls and explained.
"Huh? Lihong, what's the matter with your Adam's apple? It's not obvious, but it's realistic! ”
Cheng Chen suddenly saw that Lihong had an Adam's apple and asked curiously.
"It's painted! Specially treated. Miss, let's go! Lihong replied.
"Good!" After that, Cheng Chen stepped on the horse prepared by Lihong first.
Cheng Chen got on the horse, his eyes still fixed on Lihong's throat, "Lihong, how did you get this Adam's apple, have a chance to teach me!" ”
The black line is full of hair......
"Yes, Miss!"
Both of them mounted their horses and galloped away with their whips on...
Cheng Chen's goal was the Lancang River, and Cheng Chen learned that the Lancang River was the Mekong River in later generations.
In this time and space, there was no Monshe's tribal leader Pi Luoge to unify the various tribes and establish the Nanzhao Kingdom, so it was still a small country with the original large tribal model. Li Chong is guarding these small countries on the frontier.
The water bandits on the Lancang River are a group of gangsters who are desperate and wanted by the authorities, and they also recruit many young and strong men from large and small tribes outside the Great Xia Dynasty.
Cheng Chen and the two galloped all the way, and when they passed through a town at noon, Cheng Chen told Lihong to stop and find an inn to rest and have lunch, and Cheng Chen went out without breakfast.
October has entered the early winter, and the cold and biting wind along the way keeps blowing the two of them, but the two of them don't feel the slightest bit of horse galloping, and Cheng Chen only feels cold, tired and hungry when he stops at this time.
Cheng Chen and the two led their horses into a big town called Ji'an, and the two walked on the crowded street looking for an inn.
"Stop! Don't run! ”
Suddenly, there was a loud shout behind Cheng Chen, followed by the noisy chaos around him, the sound of something knocking down, and the sound of angry scolding.
"Don't run, you stinky woman, it's best not to be caught by Young Master Ben, otherwise you'll be good-looking!"
Hearing this shout, Cheng Chen and the others looked back.
The bloody plot in the TV series, Cheng Chen was also fortunate to meet it!!
I saw two people running first, a pair of men and women, the man seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the woman was about twenty-eight years old.
Behind him, there was also a group of subordinates dressed as housekeepers, all holding sticks in their hands, and at the end a young man dressed as a son-in-law was running out of breath, so weak at a young age.
The streets of the township are not wide, and Cheng Chen and the others are already high-headed
However, it took up three-quarters of the street, and the crowds of people watching the excitement next to the horses were crowded together, and although some people turned sideways to get out of the way, it was too late.
The woman who ran behind had been pulled by the sleeves of her clothes by the people who had caught up, and she was pulled back.
The woman was shocked, knowing that there was no hope of escaping, so she opened her mouth to call for help: "Help, rob the people's daughters, these wicked people rob the people's daughters!" Please save our brother and sister! ”
The man who grabbed her covered the woman's mouth when he saw that the situation was not good, and the woman's mouth kept whining.
"Please, save my sister, they are going to rob my sister and sell her to the kiln! We are innocent and good people, how can we be bullied! ”
The woman's younger brother also called for help when he saw that his sister had been caught, hoping that someone would help.
It backfired, and there were many people watching the play around, but they were all silent.
At this time, the boy also caught up, and the woman in the aisle smiled maliciously and said, "Lady, what are you running?" Don't go home with your husband yet! ”
Then he bowed his hand to the crowd and said, "Everyone! This is my concubine, the ugliness of the family should not be exaggerated, let everyone laugh! Take! ”
The woman shook her head desperately, and her brother cried out in defense.
The woman's younger brother looked extremely desperate, knelt down and kowtowed to everyone, and pleaded: "What this person said is a nonsense lie, and my sister is definitely not his concubine." Please, save us! My sister is really not his concubine! ”
Why doesn't this follow the plot routine? Where are the heroes who save beauty?
