Chapter 43: The Night of Prayer

"Yes, the subordinate retired. ”

"Well, let's go down. Chen Luo nodded, and his subordinates retreated silently, leaving only the slightly flickering candle flame.

"Deputy General, are you going to kill Wei Xiwan?" The personal entourage on the side couldn't help but ask, these days, Chen Luo has been collecting news about Wei Xiwan and all the people and things around him, and it seems that he wants to take action, but in fact, there is no yet.

Chen Luo heard his entourage ask this, his eyes flickered slightly, but he did not answer. He felt more and more that Shen Tucang was right, such a great opportunity for meritorious service in front of him, why didn't he make good use of it? It's just that if he really wants to kill Wei Xi too late, he is afraid that he will be a little unable to do it.

"What are you doing late to kill Wei Xi?" After being silent for a long time, Chen Luo's sudden opening startled Fang Cai's entourage. He also thought that the adjutant general had been silent and had asked the wrong question.

Chen Luo tugged at the corners of his mouth and continued: "Wei Xiwan is just a small deputy general in Liangwu City, killing her will not be a great achievement, what I want to kill is the general of Liangwu City, Luo Zhengyi." ”

Use Wei Xiwan to kill Luo Zhengyi, and then frame Wei Xiwan after his death, so that he can not only kill Wei Xiwan with his own hands, but also achieve his own goals to the greatest extent, why not? Presumably, General Shentu also has this intention.

"Vice General Chen, the general has summoned you over. There was a voice outside the door.

Chen Luo put away the calculation in his eyes and stood up, as soon as he remembered General Shentu, it happened that a subordinate came to see him on the order of the general, which was very coincidental.

"You're here?" Shen Tucang leaned back on the comfortable cushions, looked at Chen Luo who came in from the outside, and spoke lazily.

"See the Great General. After Chen Luo clasped his fists and saluted, his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the woman who was pouring tea and waiting for Shen Tucang.

This is the singer that Shen Tucang brought back to the army not long ago, her name is Yun Ji, even if it is not the first time he has seen her, but every time he sees her, he will always be attracted by the beauty and style of this woman, but he has never dared to covet the general's woman.

Chen Luo's eye movements were all seen through by Shen Tucang, but he didn't mind or think so, how many people in the army could turn a blind eye and be unmoved by Yun Ji whom he personally fancied.

"Your Majesty has an urgent matter to summon me back to the Imperial City, and I hope that when I return to the palace, I will hear your good news. Shen Tucang looked at Chen Luo and said.

Chen Luo came back to his senses, looked at Shen Tucang's deep eyes, the firmness and confidence in his heart increased inexplicably, and replied loudly: "It will definitely live up to the general's expectations!"

Because the Qichang Festival is a festival when the heat is scorching, the scorching sun is not much celebrated during the day, and it is cooler at night, and on the night of the good festival, thousands of homes are brightly lit, and the whole country celebrates together.

A subordinate walked to the door of Wei Xiwan's room and bent down to salute: "General Wei, there is a man outside the door, claiming to be your old man, who has come to ask for a meeting." ”

"Old people, my lord, there are old people in this Liangwu City?" Qiao Er put down the dates in his hand, and asked before he could swallow the dates in his mouth.

"That's a long story...... Uh~" The dates in Wei Xiwan's mouth had just been swallowed, she burped, and put the date pit in her hand on the table, so that she and Qiao Er could really eat it.

"Since you are an old man, tonight is the Prayer Festival, you must have come to visit you on purpose, so quickly wipe your mouth and go out to greet you. Qiao Er finished nibbling on another one in three or two, wiped her mouth and prepared to go out with Wei Xiwan.

"Uh-huh, let's go, let's go. Wei Xiwan tidied up his appearance, stood up with a smile, opened the door and walked out with Qiao'er.

The hometown of the two is not this Liangwu City, and they have not been here for a long time, and they have not had any special feelings for this city, and they have not celebrated much in this festival, but they have been sitting in the room and eating the dates picked by the special people who went to the mountains in the early morning, and they are also happy to talk about it.

"Why did you come here to find me?" asked with a slight smile and surprise, as soon as Wei Xi came out of the gate, he saw Chen Luo standing waiting for her to come out, and he had already guessed that it was him as soon as he heard his subordinates.

"Today is the Qichang Festival, so naturally I want to celebrate the festival in my own country, except for you in this Liangwu City, I don't know anyone, so I came to look for you, didn't I bother?" Chen Luo replied with a faint smile.

"How so? Come in first. Wei Xi smiled and raised his eyebrows, and generously waved his hand to beckon him in, it was a joyful thing for someone to visit during the festival.

"You're pure. Chen Luo stepped into the courtyard and did not see the lively scene, "Didn't you celebrate the festival with the people in the army?"

"Not long after I entered the army, I just became familiar with my face, most of the officers and soldiers in the army are not familiar with it, and General Luo is old-fashioned and boring, I guess I am still reading in the study, so I can only celebrate the festival by myself. Wei Xiwan pursed her lips and said, the words of disrespect to the general came out of her mouth so easily and casually, so frightened that Qiao Er quickly pulled her sleeve.

"My lord, how do you speak~" Qiao Er muttered and complained in a low voice, she was really afraid that these disrespectful words said by her master would be listened to by someone with a heart, and told General Luo that he would be punished against, it was really heartbreaking for her, "And oh, isn't it that I will accompany you for the holiday!"

"Yes, yes, you know. Wei Xiwan replied with a smile angrily, she knew that Qiao Er was always cautious and careful in everything for her sake, and this time she rushed to Liangwu City because she was afraid that she would be alone in the border city, so she came to accompany her for the holiday.

"This is ...... Sister?" Chen Luo saw that the woman beside Wei Xiwan was not dressed like a maidservant, and the two spoke very intimately, so he asked intentionally.

"Pretty much. Wei Xiwan glanced at Qiao Er who was bowing her head and nodded, she had already regarded Qiao Er as her sister.

Chen Luo's thin face had a faint smile all the time, took out a letter from his arms, and slowly handed it to Wei Xiwan, "Actually, there is one more thing when I came this time, I intercepted a secret letter in the army of Panjiao City, which must be important news to Liangwucheng, and I specially brought it to General Luo, but General Luo didn't know my identity, and I was afraid that it would be a little troublesome to see him." ”

"It's a trivial matter, then I'll help you present it to him, what secret letter?" Wei Xi took it later, and just wanted to open it but was stopped by Chen Luo, so he looked up and asked puzzledly: "I can't read it?"

"It's not that you can't, I'm afraid you'll be punished. Chen Luo sighed and said.

After all, it is important news, how can there be a reason for a general to let a deputy general read it first.

"That's right, since it may be a big deal, then I'll go and take it to General Luo now. Wei Xi received Chen Luo's kindness later, so he didn't plan to open it and read it, if it was an important matter, General Luo would naturally discuss it with her again after reading it.

"Okay, after all, I have a secret identity, and it is inconvenient to go to see the general, so I will wait here for you to come back. ”

"Well, Qiao'er, you greet the guests for me first, and I'll come back when I go. Wei Xi stood up after saying that, nodded to Chen Luo, and then turned around and left, heading to Luo Zhengyi's study.

Under the night sky of Huayue, a pair of scheming eyes stared at the back of Wei Xi's late departure, and the smile as faint as the breeze gradually became unpredictable, but Qiao Er, who lowered her head and poured tea for Chen Luo, was unaware.
