Chapter 102: Stratagem
Chu Tingchuan was on the way back, and he happened to meet the slave who was going to send medicine to Chu Xuhua, Chu Tingchuan was about to take it from the slave's hand, and then let the slave retreat, he took the medicine and turned around the wing where Chu Xuhua was, knocked on the door and signaled to Chu Xuhua who was in the house, and pushed the door open.
During this period of time when Chu Xuhua was recuperating from his injuries, he would always live in Chu Tingchuan's mansion, even if Chu Xuhua's injuries were almost better, he would not let Chu Xuhua walk at will until Chu Xuhua's injuries were truly healed, this is what Chu Tingchuan requested, after all, if he was attacked by someone when Chu Xuhua was injured, it would be more than worth the loss.
Therefore, Chu Xuhua is in Chu Tingchuan's mansion, Chu Tingchuan can do his best to protect Chu Xuhua's thoughtfulness, he doesn't want Chu Xuhua to be hurt again, after all, Chu Xuhua will become like this, and a large part of the fault is because of him,
Chu Xuhua is also reading in the room, he is recuperating from his injuries for a period of time, and he can't make much movement, so he has nothing to do, so he can only sit and read some books, although he is already recognized in the Chu State, one of the most knowledgeable figures, but Chu Xuhua did not stop reading because of this, and became proud and complacent.
Chu Xuhua saw Chu Tingchuan pushing the door in, his expression was faint, and he was not too surprised, he called softly, "Brother Huang," Chu Tingchuan bowed slightly, and responded, and then, Chu Tingchuan put the medicine bowl in his hand on the table, and said, "Okay, drink the medicine first and then read the book well, your injuries can be well recuperated,"
Chu Xuhua naturally would not resist, resisting Chu Tingchuan's words, he was not the kind of three-year-old child, unwilling to drink such a bitter medicine, he picked up the medicine bowl, and slowly drank it all, after drinking, he gently wiped the corners of his pale lips with his clothes, raised his eyes, looked at Chu Tingchuan, and asked, "What is the matter with the imperial brother today?"
Chu Tingchuan smiled and sat next to Chu Xuhua, when Chu Xuhua saw this, he closed the book he was reading, and listened attentively to what Chu Tingchuan was about to say, after Chu Tingchuan sat down, he poured himself a cup of hot tea, and said, "It's nothing important, if there is anything to say, it is that I showed the treasure map to Xiao Liang'er today,"
Chu Xuhua naturally knew who the "little Liang'er" in Chu Tingchuan's mouth was, Chu Tingchuan was used to calling Mo Liang like this, even in private, Chu Tingchuan was still called like this, and Chu Xuhua was not surprised,
However, to Chu Xuhua's surprise, he didn't expect that Chu Tingchuan would actually show the treasure map to Mo Liang, although Chu Xuhua was so surprised not because Mo Liang was not trustworthy, but he didn't know what the imperial brother's behavior meant.
Could it be that the imperial brother wants to involve Mo Liang in this treasure hunt and let Mo Liang go together, although Mo Liang's ability is undoubted, but Chu Xuhua always feels that something is a little inappropriate, after all, this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface, Mo Liang is capable, but it is really involved in this matter, is it really good,
Chu Xuhua really couldn't think of what Chu Tingchuan thought, he didn't respond to Chu Tingchuan immediately, just sat there, looked at Chu Tingchuan quietly, and waited for Chu Tingchuan to give him the next words,
"Why is it surprisingly silent today," Chu Tingchuan was a little surprised when he saw Chu Xuhua sitting there looking at him without saying a word, he originally thought that Chu Xuhua would definitely say something reproachful, but it was not as he thought,
When Chu Xuhua heard Chu Tingchuan ask this, he sighed lowly, and said in a flat tone, "Actually, there is nothing to say, the imperial brother would make such a move, naturally there is a reason for the imperial brother, why should I say anything,"
Chu Xuhua paused, and then continued, "However, I would like to know what the reason for the imperial brother to do this, and whether the imperial brother wants to involve Mo Liang in this matter, "Mo Liang actually has nothing to doubt her true identity now,
Chu Tingchuan smiled lightly, with an indescribable charm, and only listened to him slowly reply, "If it is so, there is nothing wrong with it, I really want to involve her in this matter, I don't want to alarm too many people about this treasure map, so what I think is that you and I and Mo Liang can go and find out the news,"
"For Mo Liang's ability, you and I are obvious to all, you should know that she can do this, not to mention, what is the territory of Miaojiang, presumably the seventh brother also knows, if too many people are used and the people of Miaojiang are shocked, I am afraid that we will end up empty-handed," Chu Tingchuan picked up the azure porcelain cup, took a sip lightly, and said,
In fact, what Chu Tingchuan said is not wrong, although Miao Jiang now belongs to the territory of Chu State, but the people in Miao Jiang are still a little repulsed by Chu State, if a large number of people and horses are excluded from entering Miao Jiang, the people of Miao Jiang must be vigilant, so no matter what you want to do, it is very inconvenient.
However, Chu Xuhua was still a little worried, if only the three of them went to Miaojiang, and something unexpected happened, and the three of them encountered a chase like they were on the hunting ground, then maybe they would not be so lucky this time and be able to escape.
Moreover, Chu Xuhua also knew that this matter must have nothing to do with Xia Huaguo's escape, and Chu Xuhua also vaguely guessed why Xia Huaguo would sacrifice blood jade, firstly, because Miao Jiang belonged to the territory of Chu State, Xia Huaguo was not good at infiltrating Miao Jiang, if it was discovered by Chu State, there would definitely be no less battle.
Second, it is estimated that Xia Huaguo wants to take advantage of the Chu State to open a road in front of him now, and then take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, after all, the people of Miao Jiang are not so easy to settle, so he wants Chu State to deal with Miao Jiang first, and then sneak into Miao Jiang.
If this is the case, then I have to say that this Xia Huaguo's wishful thinking is very good, so Chu Xuhua knows that Chu Tingchuan does not want to work hard in this matter, and there is also Chu Tingchuan's reason, but there are only three of them, and it is really not safe.
Chu Tingchuan knew Chu Xuhua's concerns, so he smiled lightly and said, "Seventh brother, think about it, neither of us is in the capital, even Mo Liang and I took it with me, so naturally you can bring my cronies with you, so you don't have to worry about this aspect, and Seventh Brother, you will stay in the capital to see what some people are doing, so as not to make any moves to them,"
Chu Xuhua shook his head slightly, and said, "Brother Huang, as you said, Miao Jiang is actually such a good place to sneak into, if you bring too many people, it will be difficult for us to enter, even if it is the territory of Chu State, to talk about it, it is not controlled by Chu State,"
Chu Xuhua paused for a moment, flipped through the books on the table, and then said, "There are about twenty of the imperial brother's cronies, and if you bring them together, you have to say that the goal is too big," Chu Xuhua turned the book to a page, and his slender white fingers pointed to a place on the book, and continued, "Imperial brother, please look here,"
"If we want to enter Miaojiang, we must pass through this river, if we go by ferry, Miaojiang thinks it is an invader, and when the time comes, even if we want to escape, there is no way to escape, and the target of the three people is relatively smaller," That's why Chu Xuhua will read this book, he is now understanding what the terrain of Miaojiang is,
However, the information about Miaojiang recorded in the book can be said to be very few, and it is only a general introduction, and it is not too detailed, presumably the people in Miaojiang have controlled their terrain very well, that is, they are afraid that one day someone will invade their place and catch them off guard, so they will keep the secret of their terrain.
Chu Tingchuan took a look at it and realized that it was indeed as Chu Xuhua said, the territory of Miao Jiang was not so easy to enter, if more than 20 people appeared on the river, the target was indeed too big, and they were not the people in Miao Jiang, they would definitely be blocked, if Miao Jiang had a killing intent, they would probably die on the river,
"Speaking of which, it really doesn't work left and right," Chu Tingchuan frowned slightly, how should he solve the current situation, he didn't want to be too eye-catching, but it was difficult to enter the realm of Miao Jiang, this has to be said, it was really a headache, what kind of secret was hidden in this blood jade, which made him so curious,
"If the imperial brother insists on going, then you and I and Mo Liang can go if they want to, but you must be careful along the way, otherwise this Xia Huaguo still doesn't know what traps are set on the road," In the current situation, Chu Xuhua has to make this decision, in fact, this treasure cannot be found, and there is indeed no loss for them,
However, Chu Xuhua wants to know, what kind of purpose this Xia Huaguo is for, if Xia Huaguo is planning something, if he wants to frame Chu Guo, he must stop it, after all, he is the prince of Chu State, for these things, he must lead by example, other princes, not distrust, just want to have that ability,
Although there are still Chu Changge and Chu Qingning, however, Chu Changge is the crown prince, and he can't make any mistakes, so naturally he can't go with them, and Chu Qingning asked himself that he didn't trust Chu Qingning,
"Well, I will explain the reason to my father about this matter, see what my father's opinion is, and after that, we will decide the reason," Chu Tingchuan bowed slightly, and decided to inform the Emperor of Chu about this matter first, and then make a good decision on whether to really go to Miaojiang, if his father did not agree, the two of them naturally would not want to set foot in the Miaojiang area,
As for the Xia Huaguo, if he didn't wait for the reaction of the Chu State for a long time, he would definitely be in a mess, wondering why the Chu State would not make any movement at all, and the Chu State with them would not have much loss in it, /AUT
