Volume 1 Chapter 24 The Former Minister
In a large-scale, comfortable and chic mansion in the west of Runing City, Chu Zhao and Wang Jun accompanied Dong Xiaowei to the gate.
This mansion was sent by the county guard when Captain Dong first arrived in Runing City, but Captain Dong has been eating and living in the barracks, and this mansion has been empty, so it happened that Chu Zhao and the three of them became the first batch of guests to move in.
"Although the two of you can rest assured, if there is no accident, Changchun Zhenren will be able to get the news tomorrow morning, and presumably they will be able to arrive here tomorrow evening at the latest. Captain Dong said: "I will have a duty in my body, so I will leave, and if there is any need, I will arrange for someone to do it." ”
At the gate of the house, several guards led their horses and waited for Captain Dong.
Chu Zhao glanced at one of the guards and said, "Thank you Captain Dong for your help today." ”
"The great grace is unforgettable, if there is a useful place in the future, the Sword Pavilion will repay it!"
Wang Jun said solemnly.
"Miss Wang is polite!"
Chu Zhao and Wang Jun were very grateful to Captain Dong for this matter, he was equivalent to indirectly saving Jian Sanyi's life, not only getting Chu Zhao's favor, but also making Wang Jun, the eldest lady of the Sword Pavilion, owe a great affection to Jian San.
The cultivation world is inextricably linked with the imperial court, and it is not usually obvious to him, but when Captain Dong encounters big trouble in the future, the Sword Pavilion may not have the ability to help him.
Captain Dong greeted the two of them, and then got on his horse and led the guards away.
After Chu Zhao and Wang Jun saw Captain Dong leave, Wang Jun said to himself: "It's really a person who can't be seen, but he really has a good heart." ”
Chu Zhao smiled when he heard this, Captain Dong's dignity really didn't dare to compliment, his body was extremely fat, he looked like a ball from a distance, his facial features were crooked and cracked, his mouth was big, his nose was facing the sky, and his triangular eyes gave people the feeling of thief eyebrows and rat eyes, and his skin was as dark as carbon, so he was not a good person at first glance.
Chu Zhao didn't answer, but said apologetically: "Miss Wang, on the way here just now, I saw an old man below, and I need to go and say hello, girl, you take care of the third predecessor of Jian first, and then go back when you go down." ”
Wang Jun's heart hanging all the way is considered to be half of it, and the whole person is not as depressed and sad as before.
"If Chu Gongzi has something, he can go and get busy first. ”
Chu Zhao nodded, then left, and used his skills in a no-man's land, quickly chasing after Dong Xiaowei and the others.
Just now he saw an "old man" beside Dong Xiaowei, that is, when he had not changed, except for one of the closest people to his parents, he wanted to confirm some things.
After Captain Dong left the courtyard, he did not return to the yamen as he said, but went straight to the west gate of the west of the city.
The group was very conspicuous, and Chu Zhao was not afraid of losing it, so he followed it from a distance so as not to be discovered.
About ten miles out of the city, Dong Xiaowei and the others stopped at the pavilion of the official road, and Chu Zhao hurriedly hid in the woods beside the road, running his true qi, and listening carefully to their conversation.
I saw that Dong Xiaowei saluted the "old man" recognized by Chu Zhao, and said insincerely: "My lord, where the duty of the humble duty lies, I can't send it away." ”
"You dead fat, you don't want to send it at all, why bother?"
The middle-aged man who was called an adult sat on a horse, pointed at Captain Dong and scolded with a smile.
Captain Dong grinned and smiled.
"Dong Fatzi, you can remember for me, if I go back to Chong'an City, I heard that you bullied men and women in Runing City, and I pulled your skin. ”
"My lord, this is wronged!" Captain Dong has a very good relationship with adults, and he does not have a relationship with his subordinates at all in private, and complained: "My lord also knows the personality charm of my subordinates, and if those little ladies insist on going to my bed, I can't help it! ”
The middle-aged man looked at the shameless face of his subordinates and shook his head speechlessly.
"Get out of here. ”
Seeing that his adults were leaving, Captain Dong hurriedly put away his laughter and respectfully watched the adults leave.
The middle-aged man walked away accompanied by two guards, and Chu Zhao quietly followed.
After walking for a few miles, Chu Zhao saw the wilderness of this place, and knew that it was a good time to do it, so he took out the stones he picked up on the road from his arms, and fought hard with his hands, and the two stones shot out quickly, hitting the necks of the two guards, and the two guards saw a black eye, and they fell off the horse and passed out.
The middle-aged man noticed the abnormality, his expression was calm, and he seemed to have a premonition, reined in the horse, and stared at the place where Chu Zhao was hiding.
"I don't know what Chu Shaoxia means?"
Chu Zhao was stunned when he heard this, could it be that he had already discovered me? When did the flaws appear?
Chu Zhao's heart fluctuated greatly at this time, but he didn't care too much about these details, and slowly walked out of the dense forest, Qingping Sword clenched in his hand, his eyes solemn.
"General Zhao Jinglong, how have you been doing all these years?!"
The middle-aged man didn't expect Chu Zhao to know him, his face showed doubts, and asked, "I don't remember knowing Chu Shaoxia, I don't know what happened to Chu Shaoxia looking for someone Zhao?"
The middle-aged man is Zhao Jinglong, the general of Anzhou!
"I want to ask General Zhao some old things. ”
Chu Zhao stared at Zhao Jinglong, and his body faintly exuded a murderous aura.
When we met before, Zhao Jinglong had also observed Chu Zhao, after all, he was a disciple of the Sword Saint, even if Zhao Jinglong was a general of a state, he still couldn't help but be curious, I have to say that Chu Zhao was much better than the young talents he had seen before, and he could be called the dragon among people.
At this time, facing each other at close range, Zhao Jinglong's eyes fell between Chu Zhao's eyebrows, and suddenly his heart trembled for no reason, and Chu Zhao gave him a strong feeling of déjà vu.
"You?............ Are you?!"
Chu Zhao looked at Zhao Jinglong sarcastically and said, "I'm Li Zhao!"
After receiving Chu Zhao's admission, Zhao Jinglong's expression changed greatly, his whole person was like being struck by lightning, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it: "Zhao'er, are you Zhao'er......?" How can it be...... You're not dead...... That's great...... Great!"
Zhao Jinglong turned over and dismounted, and was about to hug when he stepped forward, Chu Zhao's eyes sharpened, and the Qingping sword was directly against Zhao Jinglong's neck.
"I ask you to answer, if I am satisfied, I will let you die a happy death!"
At this time, Chu Zhao and weekdays are completely in two states, with a violent atmosphere, if you let the elders and brothers and sisters in the audience see it, I am afraid they will not be able to recognize it, is this still the gentle and elegant Chu Zhao?
Zhao Jinglong looked at the emerald green long sword that exuded a cold air, recovered from the surprise, and asked rhetorically, "Do you think I was also involved in the incident back then?"
Chu Zhao's long sword was lightly sent, and the Qingping sword pierced into Zhao Jinglong's skin, and the blood was left along the blade.
"I'll answer you!"
Chu Zhao repeated it solemnly.
Zhao Jinglong breathed a long sigh of relief, ignored the blade, and nodded.
"Where were you when the accident occurred in the East Palace?!"
"Quell the chaos!"
"Lie!"
"I will take the order of the prince and put an end to the rebellion of the three kings!" Zhao Jinglong said sonorously.
Chu Zhao said angrily: "Donggong asked for help, why didn't you come back!"
Zhao Jinglong closed his eyes when he heard this, revealing a look of pain.
"Say!"
Qingping's sword went further, only to stab him in the throat by a fraction of a centimeter.
Chu Zhao's eyes were red, choking back tears, and he glared at Zhao Jinglong angrily!
"At that time, you were very close to the East Palace, why didn't you come back for half an hour!"
Zhao Jinglong opened his eyes, looked directly at Chu Zhao, and suddenly tore open the clothes on his chest, revealing terrible scars, the scars covered his entire chest, and there was a sword mark on his heart, which was shocking!
"I learned the news and immediately took people back to the East Palace, but on the way I was ambushed by a group of people in black, I waited for the fight and did not retreat, and finally fought for my life not to break through the encirclement, and returned to the East Palace alone, but after I went back, I only saw the corpses all over the ground, I didn't see His Royal Highness, I didn't see the princess, and I didn't see you, I went late. ”
Zhao Jinglong said with great regret.
"You must now think that I took refuge in the Holy Lord back then, it doesn't matter, you can not believe my words, but Wei Jinzhong, who desperately took you out of the capital and desperately protected you, should you believe the words of Gonggong Wei!"
Wei Jinzhong!
These three words made Chu Zhao stagger back.
