Can only hear a rough idea.
Then he said speculatively: "It seems that the crown prince and Chen Chu are planning a big event. The guard is really lucky. He will make a fortune after returning. Such a good thing... Humph, how can my eldest Sun Chong let it go?" , I will follow to see, when the time comes, let the crown prince and everyone have a look, my eldest grandson Chong is definitely not in vain..."
Thinking about it, he quickly left the yard and hurried to Duke Qi's mansion.
……
The next day.
early morning.
It was just dawn.
A group of people quietly left the city.
The leader is Xue Rengui.
He brought a group of his fellow countrymen and a dozen or so masters of Chen Chu's sect, and disguised themselves as a caravan.
A few young people asked curiously: "Dalang, are we going in the direction of the Western Regions?"
Xue Rengui nodded.
Someone asked again: "What are we going to the Western Regions for?"
Xue Rengui said: "Don't ask if you shouldn't. This is a top secret. The boss has explained that it must be kept secret. Brothers, I'm sorry. I'll tell you when I'm in the Western Regions. Before that, I didn't even tell my wife. ..."
He waved.
The team punished, braved the cold wind, and headed west.
Less than half an hour before the convoy moved forward, a black shadow suddenly chased after them.
"Wait for me..."
Someone's voice came intermittently.
Xue Rengui and the others turned their heads curiously.
I saw a few dogs, pulling a sled, rushing towards this side quickly.
Someone said in surprise: "It's dog sledding..."
Everyone saw the dog sled approaching.
A fully armed guy jumps off a sled.
He took off his fur hat.
I saw a young man.
The young man smiled and asked, "Who is Xue Rengui?"
Xue Rengui immediately stood up.
The young man said: "I was sent by His Royal Highness. This time, I will go with you. Find some people to put away my dog sled. I want to ride in a carriage. I'm so cold... By the way , my name is Changsun Chong, and I am the counselor of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Everyone around looked at Chang Sun Chong curiously, as if they couldn't believe Chang Sun Chong's identity.
But Xue Rengui said: "So it's Young Master Changsun, we've met before... If that's the case, please get in the carriage."
"Good talk good talk!"
Chang Sun Chong's mind is now full of thoughts of making contributions, and his mood is very agitated.
He got into the carriage.
A young man came over and said, "Da Lang, this man is thin-skinned and tender-skinned, he can't breathe even when he walks. Let's take him to the Western Regions, I'm afraid it will be a burden."
Xue Rengui said helplessly: "He belongs to the current crown prince. His Royal Highness must have arrangements. We have to take him with us."
After a moment.
The convoy starts again.
As for Changsun Chong, he woke up early, managed to get out of Chang'an City, and caught up with Xue Rengui and the others, but he was sleepy and soon fell asleep in the carriage.
When he woke up, it was already broad daylight.
He opened the curtain of the carriage, only to see a vast expanse of white snow all around him.
Chang Sun Chong rubbed his eyes and asked, "Where are we going?"
Xue Rengui came over on horseback and said, "Master Changsun, we are going to the Western Regions."
Western Regions?
Chang Sun Chong's eyes widened immediately.
He grabbed the edge of the carriage window and yelled, "No, no, no... I'm not going to the Western Regions, I'm not going to the Western Regions, turn around, I'm going back to Chang'an City... I'm not going to the Western Regions..."
Originally, he thought that Xue Rengui was arranged by Li Chengqian to do something outside Chang'an City, no matter how bad it was, he might be on the territory of Jingzhao Mansion.
But when he heard that he was going to the Western Regions, he was dumbfounded.
I heard that the weather in the Western Regions is unpredictable. In the cold winter, everyone will freeze to death, and in the summer, even water cannot be guaranteed.
"My father is the eldest grandson Wuji..."
"I am the counselor of His Highness the Prince!"
"I'm Zong Zhengqing."
"Xue Rengui, send me back to Chang'an immediately."
"Huh...cough cough cough..."
He opened his mouth wide and yelled, accidentally took a breath, and coughed from choking.
boom.
But Xue Rengui stepped forward, with a knife in one hand, and knocked Changsun Chong unconscious.
Chang Sun Chong, who was making a lot of noise, suddenly fell silent.
He was stuffed into the carriage by Xue Rengui.
The people around all looked at Xue Rengui in surprise.
Xue Rengui didn't change his face, and said: "The boss and the prince have explained that this matter is of great importance, and no one is allowed to know about it, so I can only wrong the eldest grandson..."
Everyone suddenly realized.
……
Chapter 196
The Duke of Qi.
Changsun Wuji finished his breakfast.
When he came to the yard, he said, "Come here, take out the old man's dog sled, the old man wants to exercise his muscles..."
After a while, the butler ran over and said out of breath, "Master, hehe...it's not good, hehe...you dog...hehe..."
Ok?
Changsun Wuji frowned immediately.
The butler was startled, and quickly took a deep breath and said, "No, no, master, you are not...Master Dog..."
Master Dog?
Changsun Wuji was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
Only then did the housekeeper calm down, and said, "Master... the dog sled was taken away by the young master early in the morning."
Changsun Wuji said unhappily: "That naughty son, hmph, that's all, the old man will go to the palace, and when the naughty son comes back, I will put the dog sled away for the old man."
"Yes, sir!"
Changsun Wuji then entered the palace.
at dusk.
The eldest grandson Wuji returned to the Duke of Qi's mansion.
He was upset when he didn't see his dog sledding, and asked, "Has that renegade come back yet?"
The butler stood aside and said with a worried expression: "Master... the young master has not heard from him, and the few guards he usually brings with him have not followed him. The young master was not found in the city, but the young master... the young master seems to have disappeared suddenly, could something happen?"
Changsun Wuji's eyelids twitched, he grabbed the butler by the collar and asked, "Have you searched the entire Chang'an City?"
The butler nodded: "Master, I have searched all over Chang'an..."
Changsun Wuji's face turned cold, and he said, "Prepare the horse, I'm going to Jingzhao Mansion..."
Not much time.
Not long after getting rid of Chen Chu's nightmare, Liu Jianren, the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, was picked up by Changsun Wuji again, and began to search for Changsun Chong throughout the city.
Changsun Wuji even tried his best, and the whole city of Chang'an started looking for Changsun Chong like crazy, and even alarmed the imperial army.
Unfortunately, Chang Sun Chong was still not found.
……
midnight.
Bang bang bang.
There was constant banging on the door.
Chen Chu was woken up.
He got up, carefully covered the sleeping Li Lizhi with a quilt, then opened the door to scold someone, but it was Cheng Yaojin who smashed the door.
Cheng Yaojin grabbed Chen Chu and walked out, saying as he walked, "Fifth Brother, something serious happened... Come on, follow me into the palace."
Chen Chu got into the carriage in a daze.
The fierce battle with the eldest princess made him exhausted.
So, he fell directly into the carriage and fell asleep.
When Cheng Yaojin saw it, he couldn't help sighing.
"Fifth brother, this time, you have caused a big disaster..."
"Fifth brother..."
"Ok?"
Seeing Chen Chu whimpering into a deep sleep.
Cheng Yaojin smacked his lips and fell silent.
Not long after, Chen Chu was led by Cheng Yaojin into the palace, and came to the Palace of Manna.
As soon as Chen Chu looked up, he saw all the important officials in the court.
The prince Li Chengqian is also there.
Changsun Wuji stood in the first position, glaring at himself.
Chen Chu touched his nose.
It seems that he hasn't offended Changsun Wuji much recently, has he?
He stepped forward.
boom.
Li Er's face was cold, he patted the table and asked, "Chen Chu, put your clothes on."
"Oh oh oh..."
Chen Chu hurriedly put on his clothes.
Only then did Li Er ask: "Chen Chu, let me ask you, did you secretly send 20 people out of the city to the west this morning?"
I am!
Chen Chu's eyes widened.
exposed so soon?
