Chapter 410: Soldiers Are in Danger (Medium)
Early the next morning, Zhao Heng had to go to court early. Before dawn, a deacon's eunuch with a team of palace maids came to call Zhao Heng to get up and wash and dress him.
Chen Ao was placed in a small hut for the little eunuch to sleep next to him, and was naturally woken up by this group of people. By the time he came to his senses, Zhao Heng had already left in a hurry. Chen Ao thought about it, wiped his face casually, and went to the palace where Zhao Ling was.
The people in the palace already knew that Chen Ao was a close confidant of the emperor, so naturally they would not stop him. Chen Ao quickly rushed to the place, and when he entered the courtyard, he saw Zhao Ling sitting under the tree, making tea.
When she was trapped in the forbidden palace for a long time, she seemed to be a little less deep and a little more tranquil. I don't know if it's because the days in captivity are extremely boring, or because Zhao Ling knows that his life is slim and he sees everything away. Chen Ao didn't have time to guess, and was just about to ask.
I saw Zhao Ling put up a finger, "shhhhhh
Chen Ao nodded, tiptoed over to Zhao Ling, and asked, "She made trouble all night?"
Zhao Ling poured tea and said, "Miss Yun has a poor background, and the grievances she has suffered over the years have been vented so that she can sleep with peace of mind." ”
Chen Ao sighed and said, "She can sleep, you really haven't slept all night, right?"
Zhao Ling smiled slightly and said, "I have nothing to do these days, and I have already slept enough......" She raised her head, looked at Chen Ao's eyes, and said: "It's you, presumably for my business, running around and working hard, full of dust." ”
Chen Ao was a little uncomfortable with Zhao Ling's gentleness, and said with a dry smile: "I? hehe, I probably didn't wash my face just now!"
Zhao Ling brought the teacup to Chen Ao and said, "I always thought that you were just a little clever before, but you were too cautious, I am afraid that this time I will avoid it......"
Chen Ao smiled: "You just said that I was timid and afraid that it would be over, why be so tactful." ”
Zhao Ling said: "But I didn't expect that you would make such a life-threatening move." ”
Chen Ao sighed, took Zhao Ling's hand, and said: "No way, for the sake of my daughter-in-law, I have to break through the sword mountain and the sea of fire! I figured it out, I had too many worries in the past, I did a lot of wrong things, and I missed a lot of people." But I've got it now. Zhao Ling, I want to marry you as my wife!"
Zhao Ling's eyes flashed, but he smiled deliberately: "What about Miss Xiaoya, and what about the Xuanning girl whose whereabouts are still unknown?"
"Uh...... This ......" Chen Ao was speechless. After all, he came from modern times, and his moral and ethical concepts are different from those of this era, and he can't say that a man should have three wives and four concubines. And Chen Ao felt that these women he knew were all strange women who were different from the ordinary. I want to marry them all back, but I'm really a little greedy.
Zhao Ling's eyes were full of smiles, and he smiled: "Okay, okay, I'm just joking." In fact...... When I knew that you could not even spare your own life in order to save me, I knew that I would never forget you again in this life!
Chen Ao couldn't help but be overjoyed, and drank two cups of tea in a row. Zhao Ling said again: "I thought about it last night, as long as Your Majesty is willing to let us go, I will dissolve the Ghost Hidden Society, stay incognito, and marry a chicken with a chicken, and marry a dog with a dog!"
"Really?"
Zhao Ling nodded and said, "Master is also dead, and my relatives are gone." From now on, I will only have you, and you can't bully me!"
Chen Ao thought to himself, with you being so smart, it's okay if you don't bully me. But he still said: "Of course not, I, Chen Ao, am one of the best men!"
The two held hands and whispered. Zhao Lingcai looked at the door and said, "This Yun girl, what are you going to do?"
Chen Ao is most worried about this matter now. It stands to reason that he and Yun Lu are not related, and what he can do for her has already been done, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness, even if he doesn't care about it, and let her fend for herself, it's nothing. But Chen Ao always felt that he should not leave it alone. Not only did Yun Lu's suffocating face also make him feel excited, but Chen Ao also felt that Yun Lu's nature was not bad and he should not suffer like this.
Seeing that he was silent, Yun Lu couldn't help but say, "Miss Yun is peerless, even I have never seen such a beautiful woman. I guess you're a flowery embryo who has a crush on someone, right?"
Chen Ao heard that her tone was full of sourness, saying that he didn't care about this kind of thing, but in fact, it was impossible not to care. He smiled and said, "What kind of person do you think of me? I am anxious for justice and righteousness, and I am fighting against injustice, how can I attack other people's ideas at such a time? Wouldn't that become a crime ...... taking advantage of others' danger?"
Zhao Ling's eyes rolled, and she didn't know if she believed what she said. She thought for a moment and said, "Miss Yun's situation is somewhat similar to mine. The official family was reluctant to kill her, and they couldn't let her go. If you want to save her, it's actually not impossible......"
"What's the solution?"
Zhao Ling said: "The reason why I was able to dispel the doubts of the official family was because I was able to give up my identity and power and remain incognito. If Miss Yun wants to survive, she must also give up something......"
Chen Ao didn't understand what she meant, so he could only listen quietly. Zhao Ling said again: "Actually, this method was originally prepared by me for myself. As she spoke, she leaned into Chen Ao's ear and said a few words softly.
Chen Ao showed a look of surprise on his face, and said in surprise: "This ...... Is it possible?"
Zhao Ling said: "Putting it to death and then revitalizing, now there is only this way!"
Chen Ao nodded, was silent for a long time, then got up and left, and went straight to the Chengde Palace. Zhao Heng went down to the early court, and he would rest here for a while, deal with some affairs with several important ministers, and then return to the harem.
When Chen Ao arrived at the Chengde Palace, Zhao Heng had not yet descended to the court. Apparently he and the courtiers are still dealing with what happened yesterday. After waiting at the door for a while, I saw Zhao Heng coming.
No courtiers followed, so Chen Ao took the initiative to meet him. Zhao Heng was not very interested, and Chen Ao first told him the idea of Zhao Ling incognito. Zhao Heng also felt that this was the best, neither so that he would do anything to hurt his relatives, nor would he let some people with ulterior motives make a fuss about it.
Zhao Heng agreed to Chen Ao's request, and at the same time said that he would buy a house in the capital and give it to Chen Ao and Zhao Ling, so that they could live in the capital in the future.
Chen Ao didn't know if Zhao Heng really loved Zhao Ling's niece, or if he had some scruples, and wanted to take care of the two of them nearby. He didn't care much about it, anyway, they wouldn't do anything rebellious, and it was okay to live in the capital.
Chen Ao asked Zhao Heng to let his friends leave. Zhao Heng hesitated, but agreed. Presumably he has already received a report that Liang Xiaoya and his party did keep to themselves last night and did not do anything out of the ordinary.
But Zhao Heng still warned Chen Ao with deep meaning: "Those people are all reckless. Although you are famous from the rivers and lakes, you are now an official in Beijing. These friends, let's move around less!"
Chen Ao knew that Zhao Heng was taboo about this kind of thing, so he agreed. He is not a person who is obsessed with authority, and it is not difficult for him to give up the title of the leader of the martial arts alliance and the power of the helmsman of the salt gang.
The leader of the martial arts alliance itself is a joke, and the Salt Gang has now transformed from the original completely underworld organization to half black and half white, embarking on a completely different path from the Salt Gang in history. Now the salt gang is no longer surrounded and suppressed by the government all the time, and at the same time, business is becoming more and more prosperous. Everyone tasted the sweetness and went to make money happily. With such a premise, Chen Ao has nothing to worry about.
He said goodbye to Zhao Heng, and first went to send his people out of the palace and settled down, only then did he find Feng Hu and quietly tell Zhao Ling's plan. Feng Hu took out a medicine bottle from his baggage, handed it to Chen Ao, and said solemnly: "This medicine is very strong, after taking it for an hour, you must push the blood through the palace, otherwise you will definitely die!"
