Chapter 1123 is waiting for His Majesty in Cangzhou
Niu Jinda rushed to the location of the transportation team's camp overnight last night.
There were more than a thousand people in the transport team. Niu Jinda gathered them all together and examined them carefully several times.
But Zhao Chen was not seen in the crowd.
After asking other laborers in the transport team, they all said that they did not remember such a person.
Niu Jinda was a little desperate.
They all thought that Zhao Chen would be in the transport team. Who wanted to bring someone to search for him, but found nothing.
Even if Zhao Chen himself was not found, there was not even any news.
Seeing that the emperor's situation was already very bad, even the last bit of hope was shattered at this moment.
Niu Jinda searched the tents one by one, from beginning to end, but finally sat on the ground dejectedly.
Looking at the laborers with a bonfire burning in front of him, Niu Jinda no longer knew what he was feeling.
"Zhao Chen, I don't believe you died like that, come out!" Niu Jinda stood up suddenly and shouted suddenly from the crowd.
Everyone looked over, with doubts in their eyes.
"His Majesty has personally acknowledged your relationship with His Majesty in the military."
"Since you are a child of the royal family, you should shoulder your responsibilities."
"Now your own father's life is in danger, but you don't even have the thought of saving him?" Niu Jinda continued to shout.
The sound spread far across the mountains and fields.
"What is he talking about? Who is that Zhao Chen? Why do you say he is related to His Majesty?" Some laborers and people around him asked in the crowd.
"I heard that Zhao Chen is actually the emperor's son. They are looking for Zhao Chen now."
"Aren't there a lot of people looking for Zhao Chen along our way!" Someone explained in a low voice to the people around him.
"From what he said, it seems that something happened to His Majesty and his life is now in danger." Someone else whispered.
"Something happened to His Majesty? Is it true or false?"
"Everything is fine, how could something happen to Your Majesty?"
"This matter may not be determined. Your Majesty is on the battlefield personally. There are always many dangers on the battlefield. But now that he knows that something has happened to his father, it is really unreasonable for Zhao Chen not to go out to see him."
"No, no matter what happens, if something happens to my father now, he should show up."
"Why did he show up? After that rainy night, no one saw that person. There was a woman who claimed to be Zhao Chen's wife. Wasn't she shouting like this that day?"
"How can he respond if this person is gone?"
The laborers whispered and looked at Niu Jinda.
No one in the crowd responded to Niu Jinda's words.
Niu Jinda looked at the crowd, he was completely disappointed at this moment.
What he just said was just hoping that if Zhao Chen was disguised in the crowd and heard his words, he would stand up.
But now...
The hopes that Niu Jinda had originally came to nothing in an instant.
"General, what should we do now? It's almost dawn, and the military advisor is still waiting for news." A soldier asked Niu Jinda.
Niu Jinda looked at the crowd around the campfire again and stood up from the ground on his knees.
The soldier wanted to help him, but Niu Jinda pushed him away.
"Go back." Niu Jinda got on his horse and shouted to the soldiers.
The sound of horse hooves disappeared in front, and the bonfire shone on the faces of the laborers, reflecting the first ray of sunshine in the morning.
…
"Military advisor, General Niu is back."
Xu Shiji sat on the ground and squinted for a while. Only when he heard the news that Niu Jinda was back did he open his eyes.
The sun has risen high at this moment.
Xu Shiji was helped up, but he saw Niu Jinda walking this way alone.
Xu Shiji's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
If Zhao Chen is also back, he should come here with Niu Jinda now.
Zhao Chen didn't come. Was it because Niu Jinda couldn't be found, or was something really wrong with Zhao Chen?
If something really happened to Zhao Chen, who could save the emperor now?
"ox……"
"I couldn't find it. I searched for it no less than five times in the transportation team. Everyone saw it with their own eyes and couldn't find it."
"When I came back, I also told you about your majesty's current situation. I hope that if Zhao Chen hears it, he will come back to treat your majesty as soon as possible."
"But..." Niu Jinda shook his head, his face full of dejection.
When the other generals heard what Niu Jinda said, they also showed panic on their faces.
They were expecting Zhao Chen to be alive.
In this way, Zhao Chen can save the emperor.
Then their entire army can still be saved.
Now that Zhao Chen has not been found in the transport team, they seem to have entered a dead end.
"Military advisor, Duke Yi Guo sent people to report that Yuan Gaisu Wen sent a large army to encircle and suppress the Duanhou troops."
"After the break, the troops suffered heavy casualties. Please go to Cangzhou as soon as possible. Duke Yi will ensure the safety of Your Majesty and the army." The messenger came to report, which was like a hammer hitting the heart of everyone here.
Where can they go to Cangzhou as soon as possible now?
As the emperor's condition worsened, they did not dare to move, for fear that something might happen to him.
But if the army does not go to Cangzhou now, all the Duanhou army led by Qin Qiong will be surrounded and wiped out.
They will also be surrounded by the Yeongai Suwen sect's army.
Everyone was at a loss.
"You guys go back and rest first, I'll go check on His Majesty's condition!" Xu Shiji waved to everyone.
The generals were stunned for a moment, then looked at the emperor's tent and slowly dispersed.
Xu Shiji took a long breath, adjusted his clothes, and patted his face to make himself look more relaxed.
Then he opened the tent and cautiously stepped into the tent.
…
"Military advisor, what's going on? Niu Jindake is back?" The emperor just woke up.
Seeing Xu Shiji walking in, he couldn't help but ask.
After everyone dispersed last night, the emperor thought about his experiences with Zhao Chen over the years, and he didn't know how he felt.
He thought about the first time he met Zhao Chen, when he was still in Zhao Chen's tavern. He and Changsun Wuji were tired from walking, and happened to see the plaque of Wangyou Tavern.
The secret passage must be hidden in it by a great scholar.
Later, after getting acquainted with Zhao Chen, she secretly investigated and found out that he was actually her son.
Every time he was embarrassed by something, it was Zhao Chen who made suggestions for him behind the scenes.
Even many times, I rush to the front.
Fight with the aristocratic family, fight with Tubo.
Thinking about it now, the emperor felt a little guilty.
If he had recognized Zhao Chen from the beginning, maybe Li Tai would not have assassinated Zhao Chen.
"Your Majesty, you are back. Zhao Chen is waiting for Your Majesty in Cangzhou. He said he wanted to go there to prepare some things first."
"Your Majesty, our army will go to Cangzhou later. What do you think?" Xu Shiji asked the emperor with a smile on his face.
The emperor opened his eyes and his face was filled with joy when he heard Xu Shiji's words.
What he is most worried about these days is that something really happened to Zhao Chen.
Unexpectedly, Xu Shiji would bring him good news at this moment.
"I have no problem, I can do it." The emperor and Xu Shiji nodded, with a blush rising on their sallow faces.?
