035 Parting of Ways
After discussing it on both sides, they both felt that Mu Mengchen was not suitable to move forward, after all, he was injured and had King Mingyang as a guarantee, so it was decided to let the flying and domineering fifth prince return to Kyoto with the team of the palace.
Mu Mengchen heard this decision, and snorted coldly: "You discussed such a matter after discussing it for a long time?" How can this prince be the kind of person who gives up halfway, needless to say, this prince will not listen! ”
As a result, in the middle of the night, Mu Mengchen was brainwashed and surrendered by taking turns to persuade, and seeing Mu Mengchen's face like a black pot on his vacant carriage, Chu Liangrao couldn't hide the smile on his face no matter how much he controlled it. Who told her to follow Chu Chaoyang's haha party temperament, and her lack of sympathy is clearly the consequence of the crooked upper beam and the lower beam, well, it must be so.
Before leaving, Chu Chaoyang first appeased Mu Mengchen, and then took a unique ideological education lesson with Chu Liangrao. Chu Liangrao was very unconvinced, didn't she just laugh a little, is it still illegal to laugh? Looking at her expression, Chu Chaoyang felt that his head hurt even more.
Ding Er also saw that someone had refilled the water, so he reported to Chu Chaoyang that he could set off.
Chu Chaoyang sighed helplessly at Chu Liangrao and said, "Auntie, have you remembered everything I just told you?" ”
"Remembered." Chu Liangrao buried her little head, secretly stuck out her tongue, and joked, she couldn't hide from Meng Chen, how could she take the initiative to provoke the small-minded fifth prince.
Although it was not close, the interesting interaction between the father and daughter entered Huo Tainan's ears word for word, and after listening for a while, he picked up the water bladder and drank the saliva, hiding the smile on the corner of his lips.
After resting for most of the day, by the moonlight, the two people parted ways.
Along the way, Mu Mengchen kept asking for water, saying that he wanted to drink water for a while, and said that he wanted to rest for a while, and he slowed down the trip. Chu Chaoyang was still indulging him at first, and then let the little eunuch who followed Mu Mengchen scream and cut his throat.
Gu, who was already irritable, heard this movement, so Mother Lin found two cotton balls and stuffed them into her ears, but it didn't take long for the little eunuch's sharp voice to scream again. angrily ripped off the cotton ball, and she muttered: "It's just an unfavored prince, and he is still flying like this, I don't know how the emperor will clean him up when he goes back!" ”
"My aunt." Mother Lin pulled Gu Shi in shock and said, "Don't talk nonsense about this, no matter how much it is a dragon, it is a big disrespectful crime to spread it." ”
Because there was nothing going well all the way, the Gu family was already displeased, and because Chu Liangrao had suffered Mu Mengchen's cynicism for a long time, this would be out of shape. Now that Lin's mother reminded herself, she woke up and changed the topic and said: "In previous years, the wind and rain were smooth, and it was only a month to return to Kyoto, but now I am in a hurry day and night, but I don't know if I can return to Kyoto in a month." ”
"Don't worry, princess, it's past Linxi, and it's not far from Kyoto." Mother Lin was relieved.
"But I don't know what's going on in the city?" Gu Shiwu held his cheeks, and there was a sorrow between his eyebrows.
Mother Lin naturally knew that the Gu family was worried about the price of food in the city, and now that they had met with the disaster relief team, if those people couldn't make up their minds to sell the grain at a higher price during this time, they were afraid that it would be difficult to make a profit in the future. After all, she earns a lot and has her own share, and Mother Lin is also very worried about this, but she still persuades Gu to relax, saying that those people are excited and will definitely act when they have the opportunity.
Gu Shi sighed slightly when he heard this, and said, "I hope so." She took out the hibiscus balm and applied it to the round mirror and carefully applied it to her face, she said, "I am born to worry about my life, and I can't be idle if I want to." ”
"Princess, you're just worrying too much." Mother Lin flattered hard, "If you change someone else, you will definitely be in a mess, where can you be as comprehensive as the princess." ”
"Mom is really getting better at talking now." Gu Shi picked up the mirror and looked at it carefully, making sure that there was nothing wrong with the makeup, and then she said, "I saw that the kid surnamed Huo was extraordinary, and my mother was looking for time to inquire, what is his way of coming from, if he can be used for us, it is good, if not...... Let's talk about it. ”
Mother Lin wrote it down, and the master and servant didn't say more.
The five princes made a fuss until midnight before they quieted down, and for a while there was only the sound of horses' hooves and wheels in the convoy, which was particularly clear in the moonlight.
Suddenly, Huo Tainan raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's falcon, and then Ding Er also noticed it, drove the horse forward two steps and said, "Lord Wang, I'm afraid it's just this group of people." ”
Chu Chaoyang looked grim and said, "You go to the old lady and the county lord's carriage, don't worry about anything else." ”
Ding Er received the order, slowed down his horse and followed closely beside Chu Liangrao's carriage.
There is a huge disparity in the strength of the two sides, not to mention the obvious lack of manpower on their side, and they are exhausted even after a few days of hurrying. At this time, if you want to clash head-on, I am afraid that my side will suffer a lot, and if I can avoid it now, I can't avoid it...... Chu Chaoyang's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his lips pursed into a line.
At this time, Huo Tainan, who had been silent, stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, why don't you let me go and deal with them, you take this opportunity to take the first step." ”
This is undoubtedly the best way, but Chu Chaoyang did not directly agree, this Huo Tainan's origin is unknown, and he is not a three-year-old child, where can he trust people so easily. At this time, the enemy is not aware of the situation on his side, and he may be afraid of the people on this side. But if Huo Tainan is in a group with the other party, the other party knows that there are old and weak women and children here, and the rest of the entourage is almost negligible, but I am afraid that it will be too late.
In this case, the more you delay, the more disadvantageous it becomes.
Huo Tainan didn't say much, took out a dagger with a sheath and asked, "Does the prince remember this?" ”
Seeing this thing, Chu Chaoyang's face changed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you Zhongqing?" ”
"Lord Wang, I'll talk about it later at this time, it's the right thing to solve the current crisis now." Huo Tainan put away the dagger, and his calm gaze revealed the maturity of his age, giving people a feeling of trustworthiness.
Since it was found by that person, it must not be an ordinary person, Chu Chaoyang no longer insisted, so he had to acquiesce. Huo Tainan turned around and left, and Chu Chaoyang led the team to speed up, until the dawn broke and the horses couldn't run, so there was no movement to follow.
It wasn't until the next day that Chu Liangrao knew that Huo Tainan had gone alone to lead the enemy last night, and he was dumbfounded at the moment. Anyway, Huo Tainan is just a sixteen-year-old boy, how can he be allowed to do such a risky thing, and when he looks at Chu Chaoyang again, Chu Liangrao can't help but feel a little resentful.
Chu Chaoyang didn't know her mood, but he didn't take it to heart because she was restrained and petty.
On this day, he rested until sunset as usual, Huo Tainan didn't keep up for a long time, Chu Chaoyang's face was slightly gloomy, but he still gave the order to set off. Chu Liangrao was willing to follow, so she learned Mu Mengchen's tricks, saying that it was convenient to delay time when she had a stomach.
After a long time, Chu Chaoyang saw the clues, and without saying a word, he grabbed Chu Liangrao and got into the car with his own hands. Chu Liangrao struggled to no avail, so she could only sulk by the window. Before, Chu Chaoyang had the idea of letting the old lady return to the house for the sake of the overall situation, Huo Tainan was just an outsider, so he naturally wouldn't care. She doesn't like such a cold-blooded Chu Chaoyang.
