Chapter 139
Tian Wuruo rushed into the door in a hurry, the cloak was left behind, the maids looked at Tian Wuruo's back and couldn't help frowning, but seeing him rushing so fast, they knew that something must have happened, so they retreated sensibly Two steps, buried in their own things to go.

Fu Sisi was still worrying about Yan Chengxuan's matter, when she saw Tian Wuruo came back, she immediately got up to greet her, Tian Wuruo frowned, and said: "I just went out and found that basically all the people from the six major cities came Gaodu, it's getting colder and colder today, and I don't know how Yan Chengxuan should arrange these people?"

"He just wants to cause civil turmoil in Gaodu." Fu Sisi raised her eyes and said, "Actually speaking, if the Governor and General Ye Ji come to Gaodu, I'm afraid they will have to fight hard for a long time."

Tian Wuruo shook his head, and said: "I don't know where they are now. It's been a while since the news of Gaodu has spread, but there is no news at all."

Fu Sisi looked outside and said, "I just let Luo Ling go out, did you meet her?"

"No." Tian Wuruo took off his cloak and said, "I guess something went wrong, what did you ask her to go out for?"

Fu Sisi said: "Go to the gate of the city to have a look. If there is anything, it's best for us to know, maybe we can stop it."

Tian Wuruo nodded, and said: "Yan Chengxuan doesn't know where the left and right are related, and there is no news from His Majesty, Yan Chengxuan is inviting you into the urn."

"No matter what his purpose is, after this matter is over, he will definitely not live in such a stable way." Fu Sisi lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty will not let him go, and neither will the right and left."

Tian Wuruo sighed and said: "This matter is beyond our control now, let's see how it changes in the future."

When Li Xunchuan woke up, he didn't see Zhuo Ran, and when he lifted the curtain of the car to look, the big stone in his heart fell directly into the abyss.Immediately approaching Gaodu, he frowned slowly, only then did he realize that Zhuo Ran must have tampered with the bowl of medicine he drank before leaving.

Li Yuchuan knew where she had gone.

Sure enough, he couldn't take it lightly, he didn't expect Zhuo Ran to do this, let alone she would attack him.Li Xunchuan punched the car wall, Wu Song followed, and was startled when he heard the movement, Li Xunchuan seemed to have never been so angry.

All the people held their breath along the way, for fear of being caught by Li Xunchuan who made any noise, and took advantage of the topic to lose his temper at himself.But Li Xunchuan was very calm, and didn't ask where Zhuo Ran had gone. He just stayed quietly in the carriage, knowing that Xiong Zhenghao called outside, and Li Xunchuan came out of his contemplation. At this moment, he had arrived in Gaodu City. outside.

The moment Li Xunchuan lifted the curtain of the car, Xiong Zhenghao frowned slightly. He seemed to see Li Xunchuan who had just come to the Imperial Army, and he was extremely fierce and ruthless. This was a look that these people would never see when Zhuo Ran was by his side. .

He quickly got out of the carriage and looked up at the imperial city. There were people from the six major cities outside the city gate. Li Yanchuan didn't dare to act rashly, but just found a secluded place to set up camp without disturbing the people from the six major cities.

Xiong Zhenghao saw Li Xunchuan leaning on the big tree, staring at one place without moving for a long time.He walked towards Li Yuchuan and said softly: "Governor, the arrangement has been made. If you feel tired, go and rest first."

Li Xunchuan shook his head: "It's nothing. I was at the gate of the city just now, what did you find?"

Xiong Zhenghao said: "There are garrison troops among the people in the six major cities. Wuxiu Pavilion should be in the palace. He didn't patrol the gates of the city, but he just wanted the governor to go in directly."

"If he directly wanted me to go in, he wouldn't have arranged for people to guard outside the city gate." Li Yuchuan said: "As long as these people are there, no matter how many people there are, they will make my appearance appear more real. His purpose is to Let me go to Gaodu, and then arrest me."

Xiong Zhengwei frowned slightly: "They have a lot of people, and it's impossible for us to rush in and turn defeat into victory. Besides, General Ye Ji hasn't come yet. If we really rush in together, we may still win."

"The premise is that Ye Ji also brought someone here." Li Yanchuan looked at Xiong Zhenghao and said, "We have no contact with Ye Ji, and we don't know when she will come. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid Yan Chengxuan will gradually become impatient. Yes, not to mention anything else, the safety of His Majesty and the prince is more important than anything else."

Xiong Zhenghao nodded: "I will take a few people around to see if there is any sign of General Ye Ji. I will definitely be back before dark."

"Be careful." Li Yanchuan said: "Pay attention to the garrison outside the city, I'm afraid there will be an ambush."

Li Xunchuan watched as Xiong Zhenghao led the people away, so he walked over to Jiang Rulan and the others.Wu Song followed the imperial army to pick up some dry firewood, and they sat around together. When they saw Li Xunchuan approaching, they took the initiative to get out of their way. Li Xunchuan sat cross-legged on the ground, and they were speechless for a while.

Wu Song rubbed his eyes, Liu Yulin raised his arm and bumped him, Wu Song glanced at him, and suddenly understood what was going on.Jiang Rulan covered her lips and pretended to cough, but Wu Song could only stick his fingers into his cuffs while staring at Li Xunchuan not daring to move.

"What's wrong?" Li Yuchuan frowned, but he was not angry.

Wu Song trembled twice, took out a small note from his cuff and handed it tremblingly to Li Yuchuan, and said in a low voice and quickly: "Master, this is from Si Ye..."

Li Xunchuan immediately raised his spirits when he heard the words, but then frowned, stretched out his fingers to take the note and pinched it into his palm. He knew what Zhuo Ran wrote without reading it. It must be some words to deceive him. Zhuo Ran, this person, Hu The kung fu of making up things is true, the sweet words are easy to come by, even he was fooled here and there, but he was more distressed than angry, and he always couldn't say anything hurtful when he saw that face.

But this time it was different, he was very angry, but not as angry as he imagined, the note he was clutching at the moment was like pinching Zhuo Ran's throat, it was very relieved, but uncomfortable.

Why didn't she discuss with him at all when she was going to do things, and just left this thing as useful, he was really too used to Zhuo Ran.But think about it carefully, in this situation, it is best for Zhuo Ran not to follow him. After he has dealt with these matters, he will naturally go to Zhuo Ran with ease and no distractions. At least the short separation makes Zhuo Ran safe now, and he himself is a little angry. innocuous.

Li Xunchuan sighed slightly.

"Xiaqiu followed Wei Xun, did you say where to go?" Li Xunchuan held back for a long time before asking such a sentence.

Liu Yulin shook his head, and Wu Song said in a low voice, "Master Si Ye said, we're going to Yongzhou to look for clues, maybe we can find out who Princess Nanxiang is."

Li Xunchuan snorted softly and said, "You all know?"

Jiang Rulan cleared his throat, Liu Yulin said yes vaguely, Li Yuchuan knew that Zhuo Ran was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and he didn't realize it in time when he bought everyone around him.

"I'm not angry." Li Xunchuan said.

If you are not angry, you are angry.Wu Song kept his head down and didn't dare to speak. If the note that Zhuo Ran gave him was a hot potato, if he gave it away now, the residual warmth would not dissipate, and it still made him restless.

"I'm afraid it's hard to find peace these few days." Li Yanchuan said: "People from the six major cities want to lure me into the capital, and the city must be full of nets. It is impossible for me to take you into danger together. Mr. Jiang, wait for Xiong Zhenghao to come back. , I will send someone to take you and Liu Jijiu to a safe place, and you will come back after these things are over."

Jiang Rulan shook her head and said: "Governor, since we came back to Gaodu to rescue His Majesty, there must be no reason for the Governor to be in danger alone. Besides, we have already gone through a difficult time together in Los Angeles, so let's go with us this time." .”

"Yes, Governor." Liu Yulin said, "We may not be safe even if we leave. With many people and strength, there must be a chance to break into Gaoduli. Governor, please don't distract us."

"Listen to me first, but we don't know exactly what purpose and scheme Yan Chengxuan has now." Li Yanchuan rubbed the ring on his little finger and said, "If his purpose is for me and Ye Ji, none of you will be spared, it's not Worth it. As for Wu Song..."

Li Xunchuan sighed, and said: "He wants to go back to Beili, but he must have a reason to go back. Xiyu and Gu Zhao are still in Yidong, and they are not involved in the affairs here for the time being. If I really can't get out of Gaodu, Wu Song can take me back to Beili, and you will be safe too."

"Master..." Wu Song couldn't help but widen his eyes. Li Xunchuan had never said such words, and he heard other meanings from these words.

Li Xunchuan didn't know what to do.In fact, he had no idea when he went to Luocheng. If Wei Xun hadn't appeared, he didn't know if he would die with Zhuo Ran that day, and he had no idea when he returned to Gaodu this time.The imperial army brought only a few thousand people, and the garrison in the city and the six major cities combined had much more people than them. If they walked into Gaodu like this, they would surely be killed.Besides, these people were trained by him, and he was reluctant to let them go through life and death with him, this was not his original intention.

"I..." Li Yanchuan lowered his eyes and said, "Xiong Zhenghao went to see Ye Ji's situation. If Ye Ji is here soon, she might have some chance of winning with her troops. But Ye Ji can't have an accident, Ye Lanyi Still in the imperial city, Ye Baiqi is still at the border, Ye Wei is guarding Xiqi, these people all rely on her, so they can't bet all their hopes on her alone, it's unfair to Ye Ji. Besides, if Ye Ji If something happens, even Xiqi will be in turmoil. The ancient Qiang people have recuperated for so many years, and Beili and Xiqi are their targets of attack. Therefore, this time, we must not be hasty and deploy carefully, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Jiang Rulan looked at Li Yanchuan and said, "Governor, there are still many people in Gaodu who disagree with Yan Chengxuan's actions, and there is a chance for us to unite."

"That's right," Liu Yulin said, "There's no need to be so pessimistic. There are many people in Gaodu who are sensible and reasonable. I'm not afraid that Yan Chengxuan will not be overthrown."

Li Xunchuan couldn't help laughing, he shook his head, and said, "Don't rush to think of a way for me. Actually, I also wanted to charge at the time, but it was unrealistic. Yan Chengxuan wants the lives of me and Ye Ji, it's inevitable It doesn't make sense, he doesn't need to go through such a lot of trouble, there are many easy and simple ways for him to do this, but he doesn't. Everyone is guessing his mind, it's like making a fuss, his purpose It will show up in the end."

"What does the governor mean to consume?" Jiang Rulan frowned slightly, and said, "But exhaustion is not the answer."

Li Xunchuan blinked and said, "As long as we have chips, we will definitely be able to consume them and make his patience last longer."

"Wen Rongxi?" Liu Yulin looked at Li Yuchuan, and when he saw him nod his head slightly, he knew what Li Yuchuan was thinking.

"But now Mr. Wen is still in Yidong?" Jiang Rulan poked the heart of the fire with a wooden stick to make it burn more vigorously, and said, "Could it be that someone needs to replace it? Then it's too easy to reveal..."

Li Xunchuan smiled and said, "It's nothing. Before we left Los Angeles, I sent Feishu what Yan Chengxuan did to Yidong, and Gu Zhao and Xiyu continued to stay there to confuse the public and count their feet. Cheng, Wen Rongxi is also coming soon."

Liu Yulin said, "Can it be useful?"

Li Xunchuan lowered his eyes and said, "Like I said, I'm not sure. Letting Wen Rongxi come back is just a bet. If we win the bet, maybe we will all live. If we lose the bet, then..."

He really didn't know whether Wen Rongxi was the one who pushed Yan Chengxuan, if the two of them had communicated secretly, then Wen Rongxi's return would hasten their deaths.Li Xunchuan sighed, but secretly expected that Wen Rongxi was on their side.

Although there is little hope.

Wei Xun changed some rations from the market, and saw a thick cloak selling nearby, so he also bought one and brought it back to Zhuo Ran.Zhuo Ran was the only woman in the group, she was too embarrassed to hide alone in the carriage, so Wei Xun found a gentler horse for Zhuo Ran to ride on.

Li Xunchuan said that Zhuo Ran was weak, Zhuo Ran did not look very good these days, he couldn't ask, so he stuffed the cloak to Zhuo Ran, and said with a smile: "Si Ye, put it on."

Zhuo Ran took it with both hands, smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you."

Wei Xun got on his horse and said, "The weather is bad these days, so we won't go to Wuming Mountain. How about going around Yuzhou?"

Zhuo Ran thought for a while, and felt that the name Yuzhou was very familiar. When Wei Xun mentioned Xiqi, she remembered it. Li Yanchuan told his story in Yuzhou. Yuzhou is close to Fengxi Pavilion, and Xinzhou is a detour. , Xinzhou has an official road leading directly to Yongzhou, which is only half a month away.This calculation is relatively fast. If the weather is bad, you will be trapped for more than a month when you walk on the unnamed mountain.As winter was approaching, there was a reason why Zhuo Ran didn't want to go there. It was one of her nightmares.

Wei Xun naturally didn't know these things.

He looked at Zhuo Ran in a daze, but didn't make a sound, and it took Zhuo Ran a long time to reply in a low voice.Zhuo Ran frowned slightly, and said, "Wei Xun, that day you said you still have a big brother?"

Wei Xun nodded, and said, "Yes. A few times ago in Gaodu...it was my elder brother who asked me to test Siye. He was very fierce and I didn't dare to disobey the order, so I could only be rude to Siye."

"Where is he now?"

Wei Xun looked at Zhuo Ran, thinking that she was going to reason with her elder brother, and stood there for a while, not knowing how to answer.Zhuo Ran smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I was just thinking, since we are going to Yongzhou to investigate, it would be a bit ostentatious to bring so many people. Why don't we leave a few people with us, and let them do the rest?" Go back to your elder brother. We will send a message after we find out something."

Only then did Wei Xun heave a sigh of relief. He nodded and said, "That's fine. The Zisha Hall has been divided into many places, so it's not necessary to go back to Big Brother."

Zhuo Ran couldn't help smiling when he heard the words, and said, "There are many people in Zisha Hall?"

Wei Xun said: "Si Ye, we are sent by Emperor Nanhuan to protect Empress Yu Jing, so there are naturally many people."

Zhuo Ran nodded and said with a smile: "Don't call me Siye from now on, it's okay to call me by my name or girl if you really can't."

"Oh." Wei Xun nodded.He turned around and went to the back of the team to give some instructions. Zhuo Ran saw that the people at the end of the team left in a row. Although they were walking in all directions, Zhuo Ran felt that their destination was only in one place.

Soon after, eight or nine people followed.Zhuo Ran nodded in satisfaction, and Wei Xun raised the reins, but didn't start running.Zhuo Ran held the reins, feeling that there was something missing behind her that she could rely on, and she was a little unaccustomed to it.

"Wei Xun." Zhuo Ran said softly, "Have you ever heard of Liao He?"

Wei Xun thought for a while and said, "Liao He? Isn't he Liao Ze's younger brother?"

"Do you recognize?"

Wei Xun shook his head and said, "I don't know it. But I know Liao Ze. He is the jailer of the imperial prison. At that time, I always heard people say that he was cruel and merciless. If he survived, it must have been painted."

"That's how he is." Zhuo Ran said.

Wei Xun turned his head to look at Zhuo Ran, and said, "Why did the girl think of asking him?"

When Zhuo Ran heard that he had changed his address, he hid a little smile and said, "To be honest, I still want to find out what happened in the Battle of Jixi. My father will not collude with the enemy and treason the country. I believe he will not do that." of."

"Is that Liao He the key?" Wei Xun asked.

Zhuo Ran straightened up and said, "I don't know either. Now I can only look for anyone who can be related to the Luxi War. One day I will find out and clear my father's name."

Wei Xun lowered his head.

Zhuo Ran looked at him sideways and said, "Of course I know that you regard me as the princess of Nanxiang, so I wouldn't say that I use you to fulfill my wish. I'm not that bad."

"I didn't think so." Wei Xun said: "Girl, I just want to say that there is a cause and effect in this world, and everything will go in its own direction. If we want to investigate, we will definitely encounter many difficulties. Yongzhou has Without the original place, these things may have been complicated and impossible to find out from the beginning."

Zhuo Ran looked at Wei Xun and said, "You have never experienced this kind of thing, and you don't understand the despair in the deep prison. You can clearly know the whole story, but because of the so-called time and old people, you give up the things you once relied on to survive. Wish, this is not sophistication, this is not..."

"Also, since you persuaded me not to be attached, why are you not attached?" Zhuo Ran looked at Wei Xun and said, "You want to fulfill Master's long-cherished wish, and you have been following me for a long time. This is also an attachment. We all A class of people, why do you bother to persuade me?"

Wei Xun didn't answer.

Zhuo Ran smiled wryly, and said: "We don't want to cling to hopeless things and waste manpower and material resources, and we don't want to see our hard work lost to others, but there is no other way, we can only do this. "
