Chapter 312 The Eve of Departure

Imperial City Department.

Taking advantage of the hazy light, Changsun Jinghong sat up and looked at Li Chenan carefully.

"Are you afraid?"

"Afraid!"

"That's right to be afraid."

Li Chenan curled his lips, "What I am afraid of is not an open gun, but an arrow!"

After a pause, Li Chenan poured a cup of tea for Changsun Jinghong, "The northern beggar Zuoqiu is not clear, you know this person."

Changsun frowned and nodded, "What's wrong?"

"He is coming to Kyoto."

"Do you think he is here to deal with you?"

"What if so? Amu said that this man not only made a great dog-beating stick, but also shot a good arrow!"

"If he gave me a hundred steps away...there are high trees and dense forests in the Shuangjiao Mountain, do you think I can catch this half-step Grandmaster's arrow?"

Changsun Jinghong grinned, and he picked up the teacup and blew it, "I am not worried that Zuo Qiu is unknown."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"...I'm worried about General Wu Mian!"

"He doesn't have any soldiers in his hands, so what's the fear?"

"But there are soldiers in Changle Palace."

Li Chenan was shocked, and looked at Changsun Jinghong in shock, pondered for three breaths and asked in a low voice: "What do you mean... the emperor wants to get into this matter?"

Changsun Jinghong didn't say anything, so he took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup, and sent Li Chenan five breaths, "You know what Xia Yunhu, the former deputy of the Imperial City Department, betrayed the Imperial City Department and fled."

"He knows a lot about the Imperial City Department and a lot of past events."

"I trusted him so much, but he did such an inexplicable thing. Therefore, I wanted to ask him why in person, so I used all the power of the Imperial City Sixth Division to find his whereabouts."

"However, half a year has passed, there is no news about him at all, as if the world has disappeared!"

"Looking at the entire Ningguo, there are not many places that can escape the imperial city secretary's eyeliner, and Changle Palace happens to be one of them!"

Li Chenan was shocked, "Do you suspect Xia Yunhu is hiding in Changle Palace?"

Changsun Jinghong did not reply to Li Chenan's words, he was just speculating:

"Xia Yunhu, when General Wu Mian was appointed as the general of the Western Frontier Army, he was the General of the Carriage and Cavalry in Wu Mian's hands."

"In the fourth year of Zhaohua, the emperor summoned Wu Mian back to Beijing and served as the general. Xia Yunhu returned with him. The emperor did not place him in the general's mansion, but in the Imperial City Department."

"At that time, everyone came, the emperor's move was just to avoid some bad consequences in the third year of Zhaohua... Wu Mian was Lu Zhanxiao's person, and Xia Yunhu was Wu Mian's person, which was equivalent to Lu Zhanxiao's family."

"I thought it was the case at that time, because they left the army and no longer took over the power in the army, so they would not have the chance to do anything for Lu Zhanxiao."

"But now, I seem to be wrong. This is probably the emperor's intentional arrangement... The emperor did not kill them!"

"The emperor has elite soldiers but no good generals. Both of them are good generals!"

Li Chenan was shocked, "So these two people are actually the generals the emperor is preparing to activate at the right time?"

"After so many years, they are idle and then entrusted with important tasks..."

A hint of confusion appeared in Li Chen'an's eyes:

"Why did he have to do this?"

"Why is he trying so hard?"

"This country belongs to him, it's completely unreasonable!"

"Who knows?"

Changsun Jinghong slowly stood up and walked back a few steps down the crooked tree. "Now is not the time to speculate on the emperor's intentions. I will deal with this matter. As for Zuo Qiu's unclear... Of course, you have to be careful."

"There is also the White-Clothing Alliance, well... this situation is too messy. If you can stew it in one pot, there will be less trouble in the future."

"What kind of festival will the White-Clothing Alliance and our Imperial City Department have?"

Changsun Jinghong stroked his long beard, "It's not a festival."

"What is that?"

Changsun Jinghong grinned:

"Deep hatred!"

“…Isn’t this nonsense?”

"You will know these things when you take charge of the Imperial City Department. Don't think so much now. First, do the Shuangjiao Mountain business well, and the rest... will have time to understand one by one in the future."

Li Chenan did not leave. He carefully looked at Changsun Jinghong. After a while, he whispered again: "I find that you are suspicious of the Emperor!"

"Tell me honestly, what have you hidden me?"

Changsun Jinghong turned his head and glanced at Li Chenan, a little annoyed, "I'm going to hand over this broken King of Hell Palace to you. What's there to hide from you?"

"Then the emperor... I don't believe that you really don't know anything about Changle Palace!"

Changsun Jinghong stood for a long time. He looked up at the dark night sky and suddenly said: "I have done too much trouble. I am not only afraid of ghosts, but also people!"

"……What's the meaning?"

"It's not interesting. Go back and spend time with Ruoshui. I'll set off with Xuanjia Camp in the morning tomorrow!"

"Since you are going to deal with Xia Yunhu's matter, it's better for Xuanjia Camp to leave it to you... To be honest, the people from my Guangling City have arrived."

Changsun Jinghong smiled slightly, "Don't you think I'm not sure?"

He suddenly sighed again: "I am old and I should have died long ago. I can rest assured when I die now, because the Imperial City Secretary is in your hand, and I am afraid it is more suitable now than in my hand."

"So I can die, but you must not die!"

"If I die, remember to bury me on the hillside of Shuiyun Mountain... The three old men might be able to brag together and talk about the past."

"Don't put pig's tails on the tribute. If you eat too much, you will feel tired of it. You can change it and don't have anything to do."

"Okay, get out, I still have something to do."

"…Where did that boy Wang Zhenghaoxuan go?"

Li Chenan looked back and saw that there was no shadow of Wang Zhenghaoxuan.

In the two yards not far away, two dog barking suddenly came at this moment, and Li Chenan curled his lips:

"He is probably going to find you some new tributes!"

Changsun Jinghong was stunned, and Li Chenan laughed: "Life well, I don't like this broken yard. It's too dark. It's most suitable for you to stay here."

"Where is me... After the Shuangjiaoshan incident is over, I plan to do some business and make some money. I want to live a more comfortable life myself, and it is also a considerable expense to give you retirement."

Li Chenan looked at the two places, and then looked at Changsun Jinghong: "Look at your outfit, it's winter coming, it's not like when I was a teenager. Wearing this ragged cloak would make you sick from the cold."

"When I come back, I will build a warm room for you under this crooked neck tree. If you want to lie down, just lie in the warm room."

"You're leaving, don't die, wait for me to come back to provide you with your retirement!"

Li Chenan raised his steps, and Changsun looked at his back and suddenly showed a gratifying smile.

"I have a granddaughter named Changsun Hongyi!"

"If you don't see me when you come back... take good care of her for me!"

Li Chenan turned around and said, "Marry her?"

"It's not bad, but you may not be able to get what you want, because she seems to have someone she likes."

"Whose boy?"

"Wang Zhenghaoxuan!"

Wang Zhenghaoxuan, who was walking in front of him with a sack, was frightened when he heard this.

"I won't do it!"
