Chapter 107: A Familiar World
The Sand Boundary has been peaceful for a long time, and the official roads around Cloud City are very safe, so there are convoys from morning to night, going in every direction.
Yan Saburo chose the largest one in the convoy that was about to depart, and hired a carriage alone.
A ten-year-old child went on the road alone, and the other party thought it was very strange, but Yan Saburo gave enough money, and people didn't say anything.
He couldn't stay in Cloud City. Hu Chengli's means fully illustrate that the Shazong is determined to win the Spring and Autumn Period.
But no matter how he tried to get Chen Zhonghe, it was impossible for the other party to give the whereabouts of the Spring and Autumn Pen. Hu Chengli will suspect sooner or later, and sooner or later he will re-investigate the matter thoroughly.
Yan Saburo is named Shi Xinglan's "distant relative", and there are books to check. Hu Chengli can't find clues in Chen Zhonghe, and he will look back at the Shi family. Compared with the Shi family and Su Yuyan, who are all based in Cloud City, his airborne "relatives" may be even more suspicious at that time.
Not to mention his beautiful but unsightly "sister", which really left an overly deep impression on the neighbors......
Being remembered is sometimes not a good thing.
In fact, he likes Cloud City very much and doesn't mind staying here for a long time. Unfortunately, as long as there is the slightest risk of being traced, he cannot stay.
Yan Saburo let out a rare sigh, and turned his head to see the white cat intently gnawing on chicken feet, looking heartless.
"I put the token of the Victorious King in Chen Zhonghe's secret grid, will the Sha Sect continue to track down the whereabouts of the Spring and Autumn Pen?"
"Then it depends on how much Sha Zong cares about this pen. "The white cat bites off a chicken bone," the victorious king is not comparable to Su Yuyan, Chen Zhonghe and the like. The internal turmoil is vigorous, and Xuanmen like the Sha Sect is beyond the major countries, and usually does not make a move. ”
She paused and said: "The Xuanmen, which is large in scale and has territory, is generally isolated overseas, so it is not easy to clash head-on with land countries. The Sand Boundary is a special case, and in addition to the three major lakes to the east, the other directions are bordered by other forces. This kind of Xuanmen, which already produces all kinds of strange people, all serve as mainstays and pillars of the country in the major imperial courts, so the country is very afraid of them. In handling inter-state relations, we must be particularly careful...... What do you think of me like this?"
As soon as she looked up, she saw Yan Saburo looking at her for a moment, her eyes were so focused, and suddenly the chicken feet on the table were a little unspeakable.
"Nothing. Yan Saburo looked away, the cat opened its small mouth to nibble little by little, and its fluffy tail gently tapped the tabletop, obviously very comfortable. The cuteness on the surface and the tirade she said really don't match at all.
But Yan Saburo was a little envious.
For many years, he had only one question on his mind: how to survive.
When will he be able to laugh and talk about the world like this?
......
The convoy did not stop until nightfall.
After crossing this mountain, you can be regarded as leaving the boundary of Cloud City. There is a post station built halfway up the mountain, and the convoy stops to sharpen when it comes here.
During the meal, Yan Saburo heard the guests in the convoy getting together in twos and threes to chat, and the hottest topics were nothing more than two:
The first is that Yuguitang won the championship at the Chunning ceremony, and the second is that Chen Tong was sentenced to prison and his home was raided.
The rumors have passed through the mouths of many people, and in just two days, countless versions and countless speculations have been derived.
Yan Saburo silently picked off the last few grains of rice, found the mountain spring on the edge of the post station, drank two sips, and washed his face again.
Chitose sat on the branch next to her, and when the mountain wind blew, she rose and fell with the branches, as if she had no weight at all.
She was dressed in white tonight, and she was about to glow in the dim mountain forest, thanks to the use of stealth on others at the moment, otherwise everyone would probably think that they had encountered a mountain ghost.
Yan Saburo suddenly asked her, "How long can Chen Zhonghe live?"
"Live until he confesses his sins. Chitose stroked the green silk hanging down from his sideburns, his movements were elegant and soft, but the words he said were cold and ruthless, "If you fall into the hands of a stranger, you will only be worse than dead." If he is smart enough, he will confess his sins and be liberated sooner. ”
"So that's the best?"
"Of course, death is not the most terrible thing. Chitose smiled slightly, "Pity him until the end, I don't know, you calculated him." ”
Yan Saburo looked quiet and wooden, except for a bystander like her, no one expected that there were more eyes in his heart than a sieve.
A few days ago, he asked for something from Chitose that he put in Chen Zhong and Dark, which was a token.
The token belonged to the Victorious King's men.
The man in black ambushed Yan Saburo in the Yicheng Bazaar, but was killed by Chitose, and his belongings were also looted, including the identity token.
The victorious king coveted the throne, rebelled in the Liang state, and sometimes sent people to assassinate royalists everywhere, and needed identity tokens when connecting. This brand is divided into several levels, and the one that Yan Saburo puts in the dark grid can only be held by the elite.
After all, the victorious king knew the magic of the wooden bell, and he sent out the most elite good hands.
Even if Hu Chengli didn't know it at first, he would be able to find out the origin of this token in the end, and Chen Zhonghe would immediately be labeled as a foreign spy!
Then he sought the Spring and Autumn Pen from Shi Xinglan, and there was a good reason - he wanted to steal this pen to his master. The victorious king is now in the quagmire of the war situation in the Liang Kingdom, and with the help of the Spring and Autumn Brush, many problems will be solved!
After discovering his identity, would Shazong still be polite? Naturally, he was dismissed and imprisoned first, and then planned to pry out where he had sent the Spring and Autumn Pen.
Yan Saburo shook his head: "It's a loss for him to fight for himself, and he secretly hid his freshman love account." ”
Coincidentally, Chen Zhonghe actually made an account book of bribery, which suddenly confirmed his identity as a spy. After all, in the eyes of the Sand Sect, this made him more like a spy lurking in Cloud City to secretly operate, collecting intelligence and treasures to send to the Victorious King.
Chitose didn't expect in advance that he would die in a muffled voice.
Looking down from where the two of them were standing, Cloud City happened to be at the foot of the mountain. Even from such a distance, people are still amazed at its size and grandeur.
At this time, it has reached the end of the unitary time, and every household has a lantern, and the entire Cloud City is immersed in a bright light, so that the stars in the sky have lost their color.
When he first arrived in Cloud City, he had felt such a shock, and he was still motionless at this moment, looking at the grandeur, prosperity, liveliness and-
Unreasonable.
If you compare this huge city to a lake, Shi Xinglan and Su Yuyan are just two water droplets, and they can't even stir up a wave, let alone overturn Chen Tong's sentence on this big ship.
His oppression of Shi and Su is a powerful force.
What really pulled him off the horse was still the power.
Compared with the splendid city below, Yan Saburo's eyes were dim, just like the wilderness that the two of them were in at the moment, and there was no light at all. Chitose stood beside him with his arms crossed, and said lazily: "Your eyes are so deep, do you see what you know?"
"It's still a world I'm familiar with. Yan Saburo turned around and left, "It hasn't changed at all." ”
The world he was familiar with?Chitose smiled, leaned over and plucked a nine-mile incense in the bushes, pinning it to his sideburns. The flowers are white and small, but they are far less delicate than hers. "I think you can start practicing. ”
