Chapter 33: Consultation

When I arrived at the Chen Mansion, the streets were calm, and the interior of the Chen Mansion was quiet.

The three brothers and sisters quietly returned to the West Cross Courtyard, changed their night clothes into their usual clothes, and then gathered in Mo Xiao's room to talk about what they had seen and heard in the palace.

"Big brother, did you find anything over there?" Mo Cong asked Mo Xiao first.

Mo Xiao shook his head.

"I searched west for a long time, and I didn't find much along the way. Mo Min said, "There are no traces of the old man's deliberate intention, and there are no traces left by the fighting, and there is no sign of the bricks and stones being replaced. Of course, you haven't had time to see further away, so you can take a look again if you have time. ”

"I didn't find any clues over there. And I have tried all the palaces along the way, but I can't feel the breath of the old man. Mo Cong said, "But when I passed by a palace, I overheard the emperor of our Rui Kingdom talking to a person, and the meaning of his words was very intriguing. ”

Mo Cong said and said what he had heard.

"Listening to the meaning of their words, the current situation in Rui is indeed very critical. And because there was a person named Ding Long who had an accident before, it seems that the Rui [***] team is not very stable. But what exactly is going on, it is not known. After Mo Cong finished speaking, he briefly analyzed it.

"Oh, this mess of Ruiguo is really messy. Mo Min nodded after listening. "But the three of us haven't done anything earth-shattering since we came to the capital, why does even Huang Yanjing know about us now?

"I guess it was probably a little high-profile that day when I was on the street and the road was uneven, and then it attracted attention. Mo Cong said. "There's another possibility. Well, Brother Chen is the key person in Rui [***], and we are staying in Chen's Mansion at this time, and we are also very close to Brother Chen. The emperor may be afraid that we are Ding Long's accomplices, and then he is afraid that we will be mixed into the Rui [***] team through the relationship of Brother Chen, so he has to investigate the identities of the three of us. ”

"Oh, if that's the case, then we're going to have to make up the history of our identities again so that we can act in the future. Mo Min said.

"You don't have to make it up, the more you make up some things, the easier it is to make mistakes. Mo Cong said: "I was originally an orphan in a small mountain village at the foot of Montenegro, and then I was taken to the mountain by the old man to practice, and I left a message with the people in the village when I left. Directly follow this statement, and then replace Lingyun Mountain with Black Mountain, even if they go to investigate, it is impossible for them to find any suspicious points. As for you and your eldest brother, you grew up in the mountains since you were a child, so that's all. Seven points true and three points false, it is easier for others to believe. ”

The three of them were talking, and they heard a noise outside, and people and horses were in chaos. It seems that the movement to arrest the assassin has finally reached the streets of Chen's mansion. After a while, I heard Chen Ruoping leading the horse out.

"Brother Chen is also busy enough, similar to us. Hearing the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Mo Min said with a smile.

"Yes, it is indeed not easy for him to take the initiative to take care of so many things for Ruiguo. Mo Cong nodded. "By the way, the thing that Brother Chen said, I think we can think about it. The country is now under attack on three sides, and the army is also very unstable. If you go to the army to inspect the field, on the one hand, you may be able to find some clues about the old man, and on the other hand, even if you can't find it, you can grasp the internal trends of the Rui [***] team at the first time, and respond in time if you encounter any unstable situation. In addition, when encountering foreign invasion, you can also justifiably participate in the battle and defend the country. ”

"It's fine, but the old man's whereabouts must continue to be searched. Mo Min said, "Otherwise, you go to the army to find out the situation, and my eldest brother and I will continue to look in the capital and the palace, so that we can act separately, neither delay in finding people, nor delay in doing things, and the effect is better." ”

"Well, then I'll talk to Brother Chen early tomorrow morning, and say that we have already thought about it, and the plan is what you said. Mo Cong nodded.

In view of the current situation, Mo Min reminded Mo Cong that he must be low-key and low-key when he arrives in the army, because since everyone is already suspicious, then don't expose yourself and cause unnecessary trouble to yourself.

The three of them had decided on a discussion, and then they rested.

Early the next morning, Mo Cong went to find Chen Ruoping, but the housekeeper Chen Zhu said that Chen Ruoping went out in the middle of the night last night and has not come back yet, and he doesn't know when he will come back.

"Brother Chen is really hard. When Mo Cong heard this, he sighed.

"Isn't it, our family... Young master, it's true that he's busy all year round. Chen Zhu nodded. "Now that the three of them have gotten up, the little one will arrange breakfast. After Chen Zhu finished speaking, he went to the kitchen to arrange breakfast.

After breakfast, the three of them went to the street again to look for it.

After last night's assassination incident, there were obviously more sergeants patrolling the streets of the capital than before, but the lives of the common people and the trade of the traders did not seem to have been affected, and there were still so many pedestrians on the streets.

"Second brother, I don't think it's a long-term solution for us to always live in Brother Chen's house. On the one hand, it is too high-profile, and it is indeed suspicious. On the other hand, it is unreasonable to always trouble others like this. Mo Min whispered as he walked: "You see that there are so many restaurants and restaurants on the street, or after you go to the army, my eldest brother and I will find some work in a restaurant casually, and look for the old man while making a living." What do you think?"

"Well, that's fine. Then let's pay attention to whether there is a suitable place as we walk. Mo Cong nodded, he also felt that this was relatively low-key.

The three of them searched while walking, and after looking for a whole day, they still didn't get anything, and seeing that it was not early, they set off to return to Chen's mansion.

In late autumn, it was dark very early, and the sun had already set when the three of them returned to Chen's mansion. The housekeeper Chen Zhu greeted him and said that Chen Ruoping had come back and was waiting for them in the house. As soon as the three of them heard this, they followed Chen Zhu to Chen Ruoping.

"How is it, did you find someone to find today?" Chen Ruoping got up and made three cups of tea for the three brothers and sisters, and asked while serving them to the three of them.

"Still don't have a clue. Mo Cong shook his head. "However, Brother Chen, we have already thought about what you said yesterday, but we still have a little concern in the end. You see if this will work, I will go with you to the army tomorrow to have a look, and then decide whether to go or not. ”

"No problem, just go and see. It's just that I don't understand, what concerns do you have?" asked Chen Ruoping strangely.

"That's right, didn't there be a misunderstanding on the street that day, and I was worried that I would stumble over getting along with everyone after I went. Mo Cong smiled and said, "You also know that the three of us are all rural knights who came out of the deep mountains and old forests, and we don't have much ability, but our temper is very direct. If you can't get along with everyone or even cause any trouble, then Brother Chen, your face will not look good. ”

"Oh, so that's because of this. Chen Ruoping was relieved. "Those people in the army are hot-blooded men, and they get along very well. You also know that the incident that day was a misunderstanding, and since it was a misunderstanding, naturally no one cared. If you still can't rest assured, then you can go to the station with me tomorrow. ”

"Good. Mo Cong nodded.
