Step by Step Chapter Ninety-Eight Too Much Deception

"If you don't hurry up, I won't be able to catch up with you." shook Chen Xuan's hand, and patted Wu Chao and Li Yi's shoulders again, feeling as if they were like-minded old friends.

"Fifth Son." Yi Zhinan glanced at Xiaoluo lightly and saluted Zhaoqi.

"There's Mr. Lao Yi to deal with those things." Zhaoqi is very polite.

Yi Zhinan glanced at Xiaoluo again and said,

"It's all a very good idea."

Zhao Qi glanced at him meaningfully and stopped talking.

At this moment, Xiaoluo's psychology wants to scold, are you two big men talking about me?

The next stop is the Western Capital City in the west, and when he left the capital, Xiaoluo heard his mother say that even if they received it with General Liu on the border, they would have to be incognito, at least their identities could not be exposed.

Yi Zhinan followed Zhaoqi for several days in a row, and the two talked happily and didn't know what they were talking about. Xiaoluo wanted to listen to it and it was too obvious that he didn't show it well, so he just looked for an opportunity to ask Chen Xuan,

"What are they talking about?" A look of indifference, but a tone of real concern.

"Ask them." Chen Xuancai wouldn't have fallen for her so stupidly.

Xiaoluo glared at her unhappily, really angry and helpless.

"Miss Luo'er, this is what Gongzi Yi asked me to give you." Wu Chao saw that the two of them didn't speak, so he walked over at the right time.

Xiaoluo took it, good guy, he actually brought some canned food and something to eat, no wonder he said that he brought some good things when he saw him that time.

That's it?

But why didn't he just give it to me?

Xiaoluo looked at Wu Chao and asked,

"When did he give it to you."

Wu Chao scratched the back of his head and said with a pensive expression,

"I don't remember either, I said I wanted you to apologize."

But do you apologize? Xiao Luo looked at him angrily.

It was also quite heavy to hold this can, so Xiaoluo divided two bottles for them to taste, and kept two bottles for himself.

"I have to thank you for bringing me delicious food." Xiaoluo smirked, and his cheeks were bulging.

"But I don't think you look like you're thanking me." Yi Zhinan asked teasingly.

Xiaoluo was silent and rode forward.

When did she actually get rid of these two bottles of canned food, and so easily forgave him for using it?

It's another month of dark and windy nights, and if you are in the capital according to the day, the night of this season should not be so cold. But now the farther west it goes, the colder it gets, especially at night, when the cold wind blows in, as if pouring cold water on people, and it has been cold from the beginning to the end.

Today is the third day of waiting in Ningxia, and no one has come to connect, so Zhaoqi is a little impatient. My father said that on the day of his departure, he would send a secret letter to Liu Hong and General Liu on the border to ask him to contact him secretly. According to the day, he should have arranged for someone to come here and wait, but it doesn't make sense that no one has come over yet.

"This General Liu turned out to be a subordinate of the King of Xizhou." Yi Zhinan knows something.

"As I said, I've been in the Westside for decades." Yi Zhinan said firmly.

"But you don't think much of your age is much different from us, you grew up in the Western Realm since you were a child?" Chen Xuan asked.

"Didn't Mrs. Murong tell you?" Yi Zhinan asked rhetorically.

Yes, if it weren't for Yi Zhinan's reminder, everyone would have forgotten Chen Xuan, and Mrs. Murong, the mother of Chen's second son, was the Murong family of Xiliang Kingdom.

This question stunned Chen Xuan, and he was obviously not ready to stammer,

"My mother didn't tell me anything, she did...... She is indeed from the Xiliang Murong family, but when she married my father, she cut off contact with the family and broke off contact. ”

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhao Qidao,

"Fifth prince, you know this, and the emperor also knows."

Yi Zhinan's fingers rubbed, he didn't expect that Mrs. Murong marrying Xiangguo was prepared for the royal family. He always thought that Chen Xuan had his own intentions when he came with him this time.

But when he begged Mrs. Murong to arrange it for herself, Mrs. Murong didn't hesitate at all, could it be that there was something else that Chen Xuan didn't know?

"Yes, I know." Zhao Qi responded,

"Does this have anything to do with General Liu's not coming?"

"So I know that we have unknown people here, so I don't dare to come here." Yi Zhinan voiced his concerns.

"Who are you talking about?" Zhao Qi asked knowingly,

"I'm a dignified son here, and he still dares not to take it in the eyes of a general?" After that, he stood by Xiaoluo's side like a calf.

Yi Zhinan lowered his eyes.

"It's really Weichen's to keep the five princes waiting for a long time." The one who walked in slowly was none other than General Liu Hongliu, who had been baptized by the vicissitudes of time and weathered.

Everyone bowed slightly.

Liu Hong stepped forward, straightened his body, straightened his shoulders, and solemnly made a big salute.

"The old general doesn't have to be polite, the general has been on a horse for half his life, has fought countless battles for the country, and the general has worked hard and came over in the middle of the night." The five princes brought the royal family's coquettish posture to the extreme.

The two of them were the guests of honor, the five princes sat first, and General Liu sat down first on the left.

"I've read all the secret letters, because a few days ago, I just exchanged troops and returned to the army to change defenses, and I missed it for a few days. You also know that the emperor especially looks at the attitude of the Liangguo in the West and the West, as soon as the exchange army came back, I carefully inquired about the situation, and hurriedly wrote a chapter and handed it in, so I was delayed for a few days. ”

"The exchange force just went back?" Zhao Qi was a little surprised, counting the days, he originally wanted to go to Xiliang early. Now it looks like we'll have to wait another month.

"Yes, the old man thought that the five princes were reading the sage books in the palace, and he also knew some recent information about the Xiliang Kingdom. But I haven't traveled far before, and I don't know much about some of the terrain and the latest local conditions. So I took it upon myself to let the exchange army go back, and you can see your next batch of ........ ”

Liu Hong said sincerely, as if everything seemed to be thinking about the five princes. But in the end, Xiao Luo's feeling was like he was weaving a net, and then left a big cry in the middle, waiting for the five princes to jump in.

"Then I don't know what the adults have for us?" The strong dragon can't overpower the head snake, although the fifth prince is a dignified prince, but who made him not do what he did this time as a prince. This is really embarrassing.

Although Zhao Qi was a little unhappy in his heart, he still asked respectfully in the end.

"If the five princes don't dislike it, the old minister has bought a house in the south of the western capital, and the five princes can wait there."

"Not in your house?" Zhao Qi followed his words and asked, he thought that General Liu would arrange him in his own mansion.

"Where is the fifth prince, how can you be a prince who can condescend to live in my mansion, but you have tormented the old minister." Liu Hong didn't drink a sip of tea, so he got up and said.

"No, no, no. Everything is subject to Liu Jiangan's arrangement. "I can't tell if Zhaoqi is true or not, anyway, what he said makes people can't find fault.

The two talked to the bureaucracy for a while, and Liu Hong left, leaving behind Liu An, a housekeeper who said that he would take them to the south of the city tomorrow.

Xiao Luo didn't know this General Liu, but he heard that he had worked from a thousand commanders in the west to this general who was guarding one side. It's just that the current saint is suspicious, and the generals on the border are only in charge of the military and cannot interfere in politics, and the army has to cooperate with the government, so the power he can use in his hands is much more restrained.

Just thinking about the fact that this person has been in the Western Realm for so many years, he must know some things about himself, such as the original King of Xizhou.

Xiaoluo's little thoughts began to come alive again.

In the room, Zhao Qi was walking back and forth, and there were only him and Chen Xuan in the room.

"What do you mean by this General Liu? What did he want to do by putting us in the south of the city? ”

Chen Xuan lowered his head and didn't speak, he didn't know what kind of place it was in the south of the city when he first came here.

Yi Zhinan, who was the only one who knew that place, lived in another room.

The Liu Hong in front of him is a face he is all too familiar with, a frequent visitor to the Substitute Life Hall.

In the middle of the night, everyone slept. Yi Zhinan and his entourage jumped into Xiaoluo's room in nightclothes, and Xiaoluo woke up when he landed.

"Don't you want to know your background? I'll take you to meet someone. ”

As soon as the words fell, several places in Xiaoluo's room lit up, and there were people standing everywhere in the room.

Mother said: In the end, he was defeated in the hands of women, this sentence is indeed true, with his own line of guilt and pity, he was caught by this gang. Yi Zhinan silently closed his eyes.

"Do you have anything to say?" Zhaoqi was the first to break the silence. A kind of peer, he believes that he is not a bad person in his original intention, or even has any bad intentions.

"I said I was the head of the Substitute Hall." Yi Zhinan didn't look at Xiaoluo more, turned around and said seriously.

"So you asked the substitute to collect all the goods of those Datong merchants at that time?" The question at the end of the head suddenly became clear as if he had found an answer, and there was really no one else who could do it except him.

"I think Your Highness was also suspicious at that time."

"Yes, but not all." Zhaoqi is also sincere.

Yi Zhinan put the sword on the table neatly, picked up the teacup and took a sip,

"Your Highness, can you be in the south of the western capital?" Yi Zhinan asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, but I know you do, right?"

"There is a pus-draining wound in the bustling street market of the Western Capital, a rat hole in the imperial city high above."

No one in the room made a sound, just a slight snort.

"I grew up in Shoukang Palace, and my father never let me go to any yamen council. Not to mention the officials who are far away in the west, even the officials in the capital do not recognize them when they hear their names. Zhao Qi sat down physically and mentally exhausted,

"So General Liu Hong, General Liu, how he wants to arrange, maybe my father doesn't have any opinions."

"But you are here for the country, you are here for the people of the Great Hua Dynasty, is that it?" Even Yi Zhinan felt that this matter was arranged too inappropriately.

The dignified prince was bullied by a general like this, is there any hope for this dynasty?
