Chapter 165 Departure
"Your...name is Chen Yi, right?"

In the carriage, Chen Jizhong turned to look at Chen Yi, who was holding the knife in his arms with his eyes closed, and took the initiative to talk to him.

"Speaking to your lord, yes."

His tone was noble, but Chen Yi didn't even raise his eyelids when he spoke. When Chen Jizhong saw this, he felt even more heartbroken and depressed.

He wanted to scold the other party, but when he thought that he was Chen Cuihe's man, and that he would have to rely on him if something happened to Jiangbei this time, he swallowed the anger on his lips.

"Um... His Majesty has sent people from the Imperial City Department to protect all the officials during this trip. How does your skill compare to theirs?"

"Sir, shouldn't you be happy? Besides me, there is one more person protecting you. Why do you have to divide your abilities?"

"This, you..."

Chen Jizhong was choked by Chen Yi and was very angry.

If he dared to summon people from the Imperial City Division, why would he ask these questions?

Chen Jizhong, who was furious, glanced at him again and said angrily: "I think you just can't beat me, that's why you don't answer me."

"If my lord really wants to know, you can ask me to go directly to the Imperial City Division to have a fight. I will tell them that you asked me to fight."

"You are presumptuous!"

Chen Jizhong still couldn't help shouting, and the people from the Imperial City Division who were riding beside the carriage directly opened the curtain and took a look inside the carriage, and asked coldly: "What are you doing? "

"Ah, it's nothing, I, I just saw a fly..."

When facing Chen Yi, Chen Jizhong could still hold his own, but facing the Imperial City Division, Chen Jizhong only felt a chill on his neck.

The Imperial City Division had such a "famous reputation" that they slaughtered an entire family just a few days ago. Chen Jizhong still felt a little weak in his legs just thinking about the cruel scene where the family had their heads displayed in front of the public.

Chen Jizhong came from an aristocratic family. Although he wanted to draw a clear line between himself and his family, this man wanted and wanted, and his behavior was not that of a human being.

Seeing his attitude towards the Imperial City Secretary like a mouse before a cat, Chen Yi didn't even bother to talk to him.

In this way, how can you seem to have no ghosts in your heart?
Chen Yi continued to close his eyes and remain silent. The people from the Imperial City Division also glanced at Chen Jizhong and then lowered the car curtain and continued driving.

In the evening, the peace talks team rested at the post house. During this period, there were occasional noises outside the post house. The windows of Chen Jizhong's house faced the street, so he could hear them clearly.

"They are going to die. Do these scholars have so much free time every day? They don't go to study for the imperial examination, but they block outside the post office and curse people. How can it be unreasonable!"

During this trip for peace talks, the court officials knew exactly what they were going to do.

But in order to have a good reputation, their rhetoric to the outside world is still very high-sounding.

It is okay to deceive some common people at the lowest level who have not read books, but those who have read books and those scholars who are concerned about the trend of the court and are planning to take the imperial examination can find the loopholes in this rhetoric at a glance.

Peace talks!
You have been beaten so hard that you are running away, how can you negotiate with them?
Can people get their occupied land back with just a few words of peace from you?
Do you really think that everyone is a fool and spend money to buy peace?
Spend money to seek peace and drink poison to quench thirst.

As rich as you are but without ability, it's not a bad idea for someone to take your money and listen to you when they're in a good mood.

If the other party is unhappy and you don’t give the money, why can’t others take it away?
If you think about it carefully, what is the use of this peace talk?
Therefore, the scolding outside the inn went from day to night, and someone would take turns to curse.

Now, this group of officials who went to the peace talks were treated so unwelcome by the people below even before they crossed the river.

If the peace talks are really over, will they kill people directly?

When Chen Jizhong heard people outside scolding them for being moths, vegetarians, traitors and seeking glory, he couldn't eat the dinner anymore.

“What a bunch of overfed people, what do they know?
We do this to protect the people and avoid unnecessary casualties.

All of them are so short-sighted and have no literati character at all when they shout and kill!

Just stop reading and join the army! "Chen Yi talked very little. He just listened to Chen Jizhong himself beeping and talking, and his mouth was full of vitriol.

At the end, Chen Zhong couldn't hold back after listening to several words, so after Chen Jizhong finished his last sentence, he said: "Your Majesty has never issued a decree on military conscription since he came to Yao Lin."

What he meant was that even if someone wanted to join the army, there would be nowhere to go.

Who doesn’t want to serve the country with loyalty?
Oh, it’s the people above who don’t want to~
After being choked by Chen Yi, Chen Jizhong groaned angrily and turned his head away. He cursed "vulgar warrior" in a low voice.

Due to Chen Jizhong's irritating look, Chen Yi's hand fell on the handle of the knife several times, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged from time to time.

Not only Chen Jizhong heard the movement outside the post house, but also other people accompanying him.

A group of people from the Imperial City Division did not take care of it this time. Several people were obviously angry with the emperor, but the Imperial City Division did not take action, which left some of the people accompanying them a little confused.

Is the Imperial City Secretary so good-natured this time?

I went crazy killing people some time ago. Are you planning to fast and chant Buddha's name during this time?
"Aren't there also imperial guards accompanying us? They don't care, so why should we?"

In the room where the Imperial City Secretary was resting, Mu Ying, who was dressed as an ordinary Imperial City Secretary guard, also heard the commotion outside, and a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.

They just want to listen to the "busy" outside, this kind of thing is not worth their attention.

Then, he immediately stopped smiling, looked at the subordinates who came to report back, and asked: "Have you noticed anything unusual in the past few days?"

"My lord, no. Although some of the accompanying officials were accompanied by some guards, the identities of those guards have been verified and there is no problem with their origins."

"Yes. Let's check again after we get on the boat. We must be careful after crossing the river. We keep an eye on these officials secretly. If there are any suspicious people around, report them at any time."

"Yes."

As soon as this person left, Meng Qing, the deputy commander in chief of the Imperial City Secretary Ming who was on this trip, sat next to Mu Ying and said, "Sir, if there are officials here who really collude with the forces in Jiangbei, we will take them directly when the time comes. people?"

"Do not."

Mu Ying shook his head, "As long as the traitor is known, there will always be a chance to deal with it. What we need is not to arrest the traitor immediately."

"That is--"

Meng Qing had a suspicion in her mind, and there was no concealed horror in her eyes.

He turned to look at Mu Ying and made a silent mouth gesture.

Seeing this, Mu Ying nodded slightly and said, "So, don't worry about other things."

"Yes!"

After Mu Ying finished speaking, he caught the hesitation in Meng Qing's eyes that he hadn't even noticed. Mu Ying withdrew his gaze and stood up, patted Meng Qing on the shoulder, and said:
"You have just reached this position. Over time, you will naturally understand what to do and what not to do. Don't imitate that person, you know?"

"Yes!"

There are traces of the mass killings carried out by the Imperial City Division some time ago, which are the follow-up to the incident of capturing Chang'an.

The mole within him at that time was also caught, and it was at that time that cute little Meng Qing was promoted~
In fact, what happens next is very interesting:
Changping and Changan don't know about Mei Qian's network.

Chen Yi, who was following Chen Cuihe, had secretly met Mei Qian in Zeng Jin, but he had only seen her before and knew nothing about it;

That Muying, Emma, ​​is an old acquaintance.

If all this happens——

Mei Qian: Bury me peacefully~
