During the Huaiyuan period, people sent by Lord Chen were sent out one after another, and people kept coming out of the city and reporting the found situation to Lord Chen.
However, although Lord Chen sent out many subordinates, his subordinates did not report any actual news every time. As for what Xiao Tai took people out of the city, Lord Chen still doesn't know.
This made Lord Chen quite annoyed.
But Mr. Chen was not in a hurry, sat on the chair, thinking to himself: "It's already evening. I think Xiao Tai should come back too, but he should know what he did."
Thinking of this, Lord Chen still had a trace of doubt in his heart, and some bad premonitions arose in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was.
As night gradually came, one thing went beyond Lord Chen's expectations, that is, Xiao Tai did not bring his men back to the city.
Even, there was no movement for a few miles outside the city!
"What's going on?" Mr. Chen was a little restless, and he kept wondering what secret Xiao Tai had done.
In the living room, Lord Chen kept paced back and forth. You know, he seemed to be a little anxious!
You know, this time, he can be appointed as the imperial envoy, and the Prime Minister is inevitably promoted. It is obvious that the Prime Minister asked him to come here to cause trouble for Xiao Tai. However, now not only can he not cause trouble, but also Xiao
The people of Tai are gone!
What’s even more ridiculous is that I don’t know what Xiao Tai is doing!
The more Mr. Chen thought about it, the more anxious he became. He thought that Xiao Tai went out of the city to do some secret things, and even designated Xiao Tai as a "heinous" sinner, but because of the lack of evidence, this made Lord Chen quite annoyed.
"Xiao Tai, Xiao Tai, what ulterior motives did you do? You actually want to hide the truth? I don't believe it! Humph!" Lord Chen felt a little angry, and even thought about waiting for Xiao Tai to come back.
, How should I make things difficult for him? After all, what I did without him being concealed by the imperial envoy, must be nothing good.
Maybe this Xiao Tai is plotting to rebel!
Thinking of this, Lord Chen vaguely looked forward to what happened after Xiao Tai came back.
"I want to see what you, Xiao Tai, can do!" Lord Chen murmured in his mouth as he was strategizing his clothes.
Then Lord Chen sipped the fragrant tea in his hand lightly, full of enjoyment.
"Report—"
While Lord Chen was waiting, a sound of reporting came from outside the door, which was the subordinate he sent out.
Lord Chen immediately stood up from his seat and walked towards the door. When he saw the subordinate, he quickly asked, "Tell me quickly, what's the news?"
Looking at Lord Chen's somewhat urgent appearance, the subordinate did not dare to neglect it, and did not even have time to take a break. He quickly reported to Lord Chen and said: "Report to Lord Chen, today I am on your order to inquire about Duke Anguo.
After many inquiries, Lord An Guogong took everyone out of the city and headed towards the west, and even when it was dark, he never turned back!"
"Hmm? What is he going to do?" asked Lord Chen.
"Reporting to Lord Chen, my subordinates also found out that Lord An Guogong also ordered his subordinates to prepare three days of dry food and the best water!" The subordinate said according to the truth.
"With food and water, I kept thinking about going to the West?" Lord Chen couldn't help but wonder, thinking quickly in his mind, and unconsciously walking back and forth in the hall.
Suddenly, Lord Chen had a light of inspiration and asked, "Where is that child prodigy?"
"I don't know!"
"Hurry up and go to his residence to find out, and then report it to me!" Lord Chen ordered.
"yes!"
After his subordinates left, the color in his eyes became even stronger. According to his calculations, could Xiao Tai go to the direction of the capital?
However, this is not the case. You should know that there are still many affairs in Huaiyuan Province that have not been handled! Moreover, it has been said in the imperial edict that Xiao Tai will temporarily handle the affairs of Huaiyuan Province, and wait until the new governor of the court
Take office.
Logically speaking, Xiao Tai shouldn’t have returned to Beijing at this time!
Besides, he, the imperial envoy, hasn't returned yet, so he can't leave the imperial envoy aside, right? After all, the imperial envoy represents the emperor. Could it be that he dare not take the emperor seriously?
Or, the governor appointed by the court is already on the way? But this doesn’t seem to be reasonable. You should know that Xiao Tai always has to hand over with the new governor!
In any case, Lord Chen couldn't understand why Xiao Tai suddenly returned to Beijing at this time, so he had to control himself not to think about that direction! However, he also felt a bad premonition in his heart.
Not long after, the subordinates sent by Lord Chen came back to report.
"Sir, that child prodigy is not here. After many inquiries, I found that someone had seen him leave the city with Lord Anguo Duke in the morning."
After hearing this, Lord Chen was shocked!
He thought to himself: "Can it be possible that Xiao Tai has really returned to Beijing?"
At this time, Lord Chen felt the more he thought about it.
If Xiao Tai was able to return to Beijing with his men, then now he even brought the prodigy with him, and it was very likely that he had returned to Beijing for so long. After all, the prodigy is the person the emperor wants to summon!
Of course, it is not ruled out that Xiao Tai will take the prodigy to do something ulterior motive!
However, their greatest possibility is to return to Beijing. After all, the rebellion of the Three Gods Sect has basically ended, and there are some small matters. Xiao Tai is likely to return to Beijing at this time, so he can return to Beijing and take the lead.
Secondly, we can avoid causing trouble for ourselves!
He is really an old fox.
Mr. Chen's eyes were full of annoyance in this matter, and he felt like he had been fooled by Xiao Tai once.
However, after thinking about it, the emperor asked Xiao Tai to temporarily handle matters in Huaiyuan Province. Now that Xiao Tai has suddenly left, it should be considered an order to resist the order?
Thinking of this, Lord Chen was a little excited. If he studied Xiao Tai's book for this reason, he would probably cause him a lot of trouble.
"Come, we will set off to return to the capital tomorrow! I have been staying in this remote area for a long time. Anyway, the imperial edict has been passed on, so we cannot decide what will happen in the future." Lord Chen said slowly.
"Yes!" someone outside quickly replied.
At this time, a treacherous look appeared in Lord Chen's eyes. After returning to Beijing, he could take credit in front of the Prime Minister. Then he would tell him how he suppressed Xiao Tai and cause trouble for them.
I think the Prime Minister will be happy. At that time, will my career be smooth all the way?
......
Let’s talk about Xiao Chu, Xiao Tai and others heading towards the direction of the capital. Due to the urgent matter, everyone ran away and did not rest anyway. It was not until it was dark that they arrived in a town to rest.
This place is called Dongde Town. Xiao Chufan talked to the boss during a conversation.
"Little guy, I'm tired after rushing for a day?" Xiao Tai asked.
Xiao Chu shook his head and smiled, saying, "I'm not tired."
In fact, Xiao Chu had nothing to do with this journey. He had never rode a horse in his previous life. Now he is sitting on the horse, but he is very leisurely, just a bit bumpy.
However, since Xiao Chu came here, he has never seen what the capital looks like. He has a little more anticipation for the place he is about to arrive.
Moreover, when I arrived in the capital, I seemed to be able to see my biological mother immediately, and a complicated feeling arose in my heart.
Xiao Chu didn't know whether to recognize his biological mother immediately. If he recognized him, he might cause great trouble to himself, and he might even be locked in a small dark room.
Then, how should I spend this long night?
But if we don’t recognize each other, is it not fair to Jiang?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chu was in a tangle...
"What's wrong, little guy, you seem to be feeling a little uneasy?" Xiao Tai asked when he saw Xiao Chu's expression was a little abnormal.
Xiao Chu quickly shook his head and said, "It's nothing. Maybe it's because he has never been so long. Besides, it's inevitable that he misses his relatives a little when he is so far away from home for the first time."
Xiao Tai smiled and said, "Little guy, you will leave home when you grow up. By the way, have you written to your family?"
"Well, when Brother Yue returned to Dingyuan County in the morning, I had already asked Brother Yue to bring a letter back, explaining that the emperor was going to summon me to the capital." Xiao Chu said.
After hearing this, Xiao Tai nodded and looked at Xiao Tai, his eyes full of kindness.
"Haha, little guy, I used to be the same as you, and I was reluctant to leave my home just now. At that time, we followed Taizu to fight, and we would go wherever the army went. The longest time has not been home for about nine years."
Xiao Tai looked at Xiao Chu and said.
Xiao Chu was waiting to stare at Xiao Tai, listening quietly.
"At that time, the rulers of the previous dynasty were dark, cruel and unvirtuous, fish and meat, and the people were extravagant and corruption became popular. At that time, as a child of ordinary families, I couldn't even eat a full meal. When I was a child, I herded cattle for wealthy families and made money
It supplements the household income, but even so, our family still lives a life of not having to take the next meal.” Xiao Tai said slowly with only memories in his eyes.
"Later, because the rulers of the previous dynasty oppressed the lower class people too much, they finally made an uprising. I and Taizu participated in the uprising in an attempt to fight for more than ten years! I was almost not by my parents." Xiao Tai was about to raise these things.
I feel a little touched about the past.
"When we defeated all the enemies and Taizu ascended the throne, I took my parents to my side and let them live a good life, meet them all day long and enjoy family."
After hearing this, Xiao Chu sighed a little. It was the first time he heard Xiao Tai talk about these things. However, it was quite difficult for such a peasant uprising to eventually occupy the regime.
A feeling of admiration arose in Xiao Chu's heart.
In Xiao Chu's understanding, it seems that there are only one emperor of Chongba who is a real peasant in Chinese history?
At this time, Xiao Chu compared the Ming Dynasty in Daxia with the eighth-eighth-ethnic essays, but there was still a big difference. The Jinyiwei and the eight-legged essays did not exist, and there were also great troubles in the external environment. The main aspects of Daxia were the ones.
The right one was the Turkic tribe, while the Ming Dynasty was facing Jurchens, Tatars and the like, which made Xiao Chu not compare this place with the history of the original world.
I think it should be a parallel space that has a different history from the original world.
At the same time, the capital is different. The Ming Dynasty was Shuntian Prefecture, while the Daxia Kingdom was Chang'an, and its territory was far less vast than that of the Ming Dynasty.
Xiao Tai sat aside and saw Xiao Chu thinking, and asked, "Little guy, what are you thinking?"
After being interrupted by Xiao Tai, Xiao Chu quickly said, "I was thinking that it was really difficult for Taizu to establish the Great Xia Kingdom. Imagine that ordinary people from a family can actually be the position of the Nine Five Lords.
It's incredible."
Xiao Tai nodded and said, "Taizu was a heroic, righteous and made friends. Therefore, he received many help from the uprising. Later, with the help of many generals, he eliminated some competitors to establish a large number of people.
The Kingdom of Xia will achieve the power of the emperor!”
So that's the case, Xiao Chu nodded.
The two chatted for a long time, and Xiao Tai told Xiao Chu a lot about him fighting with Taizu. This made Xiao Chu listen with relish. After all, it was a different kind of flavor to be able to listen to a different history.
"Okay, little guy, it's already very late today. Let's take a break quickly. We have to hurry up tomorrow." Xiao Tai said to Xiao Chu, looking at Xiao Chu's somewhat unsatisfied look, he had to smile.
Xiao Chu nodded reluctantly and looked at the sky. It seemed that it was already late at night. He forgot that he didn't have to rest since he had the golden finger. He was like a perpetual motion machine, never to be able to do it.
I knew I was tired, but Xiao Tai was not. Xiao Chu smiled and said, "Okay, let's take a break early, I will listen to your story tomorrow."
After saying that, the two of them returned to their rooms to rest.
When she returned to the room, Xiao Chu fell into trouble again. After all, when she arrived in the capital and saw her biological mother, should she recognize each other?
This is a difficult problem, which makes Xiao Chu quite a headache!
I think that when I was still in my infancy, the mother and son separated. Now if we meet and cannot recognize each other, what a cruel thing would it be?
When Xiao Chu thought of this, a trace of pain arose from his heart.
However, if we recognize each other, what if the emperor wants to continue to lock himself in a small dark room? This is a question worth thinking about.
Alas, after all, I’m not strong enough!
Xiao Chu sighed in his heart!
"It seems that we have to strengthen our strength at all costs in the future. When the emperor cannot punish him, who can stop the mother and son from recognizing each other?"
However, Xiao Chu made a silent decision in his heart. When he arrived in the capital and met Jiang, if he had the chance, he could recognize him privately!
