Chapter six hundred and ninetieth ordinary people

At this time, the second edition found something from the side. It was a red rope, with a thick thumb, and knots tied one by one. The knots were a little big, and the knots were about the same distance. The second edition Taoist took the red rope and looked at Chen Leng: "Senior Brother, what is this? Why did my face turn redder when I saw it?"

Chen Leng looked back and actually didn't know what it was.

He didn't know, but he had his mature thinking: "It should be a torture instrument."

The second Taoist handed the red rope to Chen Leng: "Then use this to force him to ask him!"

Chen Leng took the red rope and looked at it. He thought that this thing should be more useful than the bellyband just now. After all, it was a real rope. He held the rope close to Cao Chun. He didn't know why Cao Chun, who had just recovered, hid back after seeing the rope. Chen Leng knew from Cao Chun's reaction that he guessed it right. This was a torture instrument!

The second Taoist came over: "This rope cannot be tied for no reason, so this knot should be useful. Based on my wisdom, I guess where this thing should be stuffed."

He circled around Cao Chun: "Nostril!"

Chen Leng: "Okay!"

He tied Cao Chun's face with a rope, and the second Taoist moved the position of the red rope, and then found that his speculation should be wrong.

"It doesn't match the nostrils, it can only be a knotted place facing each other, and the distance between the two is relatively large."

Chen Leng said: "I understand."

He began to pull the rope and rub it back and forth on Cao Chun's face. The knot went in and out of Cao Chun's nostrils, rubbing it around, and sometimes it would rub it into his mouth. Guru went in and out, and Guru came out. Cao Chun's lips were swollen by rubbing back and forth, and the same was true for his lips to rub his bald nose. For some reason, Cao Chun didn't hold on and vomited out with a loud voice, lying in the big mouthful.

"Recruit, I'll..."

Chen Leng threw the red rope to the second book: "Let me show the people in the Tingwei Mansion what this thing is, maybe they understand."

Second book nodded and left the house with a red rope. Not long after, a burst of laughter came from outside, with the loudest laughter from the black-eyed ones.

Cao Chun knelt down and said, "I don't know who the mastermind wants to kill Ye Liuyun and Han Huanzhi. I really don't know the truth. I only know a few hiding places. I tell you, just go and look for it... I don't know where the Master is now. I can only wait for the Master to contact me. But someone like you will naturally notice that there will be no one in the future. If Master does not want to show up, no one in this world can easily find him."

Chen Leng thought Mu Zhaotong really had such ability, so he said no, and asked, "What is your relationship with Mu Zhaotong?"

"No, it doesn't matter."

Cao Chun coughed and replied: "I came from a poor family and went to Chang'an to take the exam and spent all my money. The master of the Pavilion had funded me that time."

Chen Leng didn't doubt much. After all, Mu Zhaotong had indeed sponsored many people. He stood up and prepared to leave: "Write out all the addresses you know, and do you know where the true Taoist in Fengning Temple is, and what is his identity?"

"His real name is Zhen Sha Shang, and he is the son of Zhen Xuanyuan."

Cao Chun simply said everything, because he was really afraid that Chen Leng would torture him again.

Chen Leng went out and handed the person to Heiyan to send him to Tingwei Mansion, and then walked out of Jinxiufang to prepare to go to the next place. He didn't have much time and would soon get news in the palace. Although he appeared in a Taoist outfit, His Majesty would probably guess that he was back. If Zhen Sha Shang could not be found tonight, he might not have the chance to avenge Ye Liuyun and the others.

All the people who wanted to kill Han Huanzhi died on the farm, but the people who wanted to kill Ye Liuyun were still alive. This is why Chen Leng came back.

Outside the Jinxiufang Gate, Chen Leng saw the second Taoist priest seriously asking Yun Hongxiu not far away. The second Taoist looked harmless and asked with the red rope, "They all laughed at me, but what exactly is this?"

There was a faint chill in Yun Hongxiu's eyes. When the black eyes saw something was going to happen, he quickly went over and pulled the second Taoist aside, nodded and apologized to Yun Hongxiu. The second Taoist did not know Yun Hongxiu, but the black eyes were naturally familiar with him. If Yun Hongxiu thought the second Taoist was a pervert, she would not be able to stop her martial arts.

"Even if you still use a black scarf to cover your face, don't others know who you are?"

Yun Hongxiu glanced at Chen Leng.

Chen Leng replied: "You have to pretend to be there. Thank you everyone. I still have something to do, so I will leave you here."

Yun Hongxiu said slowly: "I said that Ye Liuyun is my friend."

Chen Leng shook his head: "Yun, please don't leave Xiaohuai River. If you leave this, the movement will become very big."

Yun Hongxiu frowned: "Isn't the noise you're back when you're not very big enough?"

Chen Leng: "I don't care."

Yun Hongxiu didn't understand: "You don't care? You are the only one officer to hold an important position. Your arbitrary actions may turn all this into a bubble. Things that have fought for it will disappear, and you may even have your life."

“My initial goal in life is to raise pigs.”

Chen Leng replied: "I think raising pigs should make a lot of money and eat meat. Later, the goal was bigger, and people would always adjust their goals as they grow up."

Yun Hongxiu didn't expect Chen Leng to say the reason for this, but she was curious and couldn't help but ask: "What is the goal later?"

Chen Leng replied seriously: " Raise two pigs."

Yun Hongxiu: "..."

What a smart woman she is. Many of Daning's national policies actually originated from her advice to His Majesty. The woman standing in front of Shen Leng should be the most legendary woman in the hundreds of years of Daning's founding of the country, and she is even more legendary than Zhenfei. This woman is literary and stable in the country and martial arts. She is humble in her background but has the demeanor of everyone. The most important thing is that she knows the emperor very well. Just talking about the emperor's idea of ​​Daning's rule of the country, she knows the emperor even more than Zhenfei.

So Chen Leng's seemingly absurd and unruly answer made her keenly react. She looked at Chen Leng seriously, and felt a little distressed in her eyes.

“Is it worth it?”

She asked.

Chen Leng was stunned.

What he was going to do, his thoughts, and his goals, perhaps even Cha Ye did not see through it. He was as far-sighted as the emperor and as meticulous as Han Huanzhi. These people would not have thought that Chen Leng came back not only to vent his anger for Han Huanzhi and Ye Liuyun, but also had a deeper purpose. Chen Leng would not tell this purpose. However, at this moment, he saw it in Yun Hongxiu's eyes, and Yun Hongxiu understood his thoughts.

“Is it worth it?”

Yun Hongxiu asked again.

Chen Leng didn't know how to answer, nor did he want to answer.

"They treat you so well, right?"

Yun Hongxiu shook his head slightly, and the two of them stood at the door of Hongxiu Building, only the two of them, and the others avoided them.

For the first time, Yun Hongxiu felt that a man’s choice was so heartbreaking.

"You don't know who you are, and why someone will arrange something for you. You feel that everyone around you treats you too well. Maybe this kind of goodness is not just because of yourself. You can't find the answer, and no one will tell you the answer. Even the person you are closest to will not tell you the answer, such as Mr. Chen."

Chen Leng's face turned slightly pale because he had already confirmed that the woman he had seen through his thoughts for the first time in front of him had seen through his thoughts. Before that, he had no intersection with Yun Hongxiu, but at this moment he became the one who understood him the most, so he was a little scared and a little scared, not sure why.

Yun Hongxiu said sadly: "You don't know anything, but because of this you are afraid. Your not knowing is because they want to protect you and don't want you to be hurt again. However, you find that doing so is very likely to bring very bad consequences to the people you care about. If they continue to help you, they may face huge disasters."

Shen Leng cannot speak, only shock.

Before he left Chang'an City, His Majesty summoned him alone. His Majesty told him to tell Mr. Chen and Zhuang Yong not to go too far and transferred Zhuang Yong back from Qiu Li. He seemed to be a high-ranking minister but he removed all his real power... This was His Majesty's deterrence.

Chen Leng knew that if Mr. Chen and the others really did not understand His Majesty's anger, then His Majesty might really make some harsh decisions in the future.

"You want to let go."

Yun Hongxiu continued, "The first thing you come back is to help Han Huanzhi and Ye Liuyun vent your anger. It seems that you are careful not to let people know that you are back, but you know very well that as long as you come back, Your Majesty must know, not just Your Majesty... There may be people who will come forward tomorrow morning. You have disrespected the orders several times, and this time you are returning to Beijing privately. If Your Majesty doesn't kill you, you will also rub you to the end and make you a commoner."

Chen Leng still didn't say anything.

Yun Hongxiu sighed slightly: "They made a choice to protect you, so they would rather be punished by His Majesty and help you. You also have your own choices. You would rather give up your fame and honor and give up your high-ranking officials and titles... But General Chen, are you stupid? If you do this, will all their efforts be in vain?"

Chen Leng let out a long sigh: "If I were not in the court, without fame and fortune, and without official titles, they would not have to do anything for me. Besides... I may not have been a person who pursues these things from the beginning. For me, the title of General A Marquis is worse than living a simple life with the people I care about."

Yun Hongxiu was silent for a long time and nodded: "I understand."

Chen Leng came back to ask the emperor to remove all his official positions. He was gambling. The emperor would not kill him. As long as he did not kill him, he could end all the threats to those who care about him. He was no longer a general and no longer led troops. What else should Mr. Chen and others have to arrange? He would be an ideal ordinary person, and he would rest at sunrise and sunset.

"You said you are not a person who is determined to pursue these things, but if you lose them, will you be reluctant to leave?"

Yun Hongxiu suddenly asked.

Chen Leng stood there, thought carefully, and answered truthfully: "Yes, after all, that's what I've tried."

Yun Hongxiu's tone returned to the plainness she had used to: "If a man has no ambition and is a common man, even if the cooking tastes better, even if he is affectionate with his wife, even if he has both children, he is mediocre and useless. Inaction is useless, and men are useless, and they are too many ashamed."

Chen Leng shrugged: "Do you really think Daning is not missing me? There are many people like me, Daning, who are like the army, and there are many wise ministers in the court. I am really just an ordinary person."

At this moment, the door of Hongxiulou creaked open, and a voice came out with anger.

"Get in!"
