In a courtyard in the capital, Xiao Chuzheng and a man had a secret conversation in the study.
This person is Chang Huai, the commander of the Imperial Guard.
Chang Huai looked at the jade pendant in Xiao Chu's hand and instantly understood the identity of this person.
"Since my little brother has arrived with the token of Lord An Guogong, I will not ask about my identity again. Please tell me directly what instructions do you have to come here."
Xiao Chuyi was shocked. He didn't expect that the token Xiao Tai gave him was so effective. He even recognized him directly without even asking about his identity.
It seems that Xiao Tai must have been deploying this hidden weapon for a long time.
Since the opponent is cheerful, Xiao Chu will naturally not hesitate. If someone who can make Xiao Tai value so much, I think there will be someone else.
"I came here this time because I was ordered by Lord Anguo Duke."
Chang Huai nodded, not surprised.
"I have been waiting for fifteen years on this day. Please tell me if you have any instructions."
Xiao Chu nodded, and it turns out that grandpa asked him to come and find him.
"I think you already know a little about the matter in the court. Now that the traitors are in trouble with the country and control the government, the situation in the capital is becoming more and more intense, and it seems to be out of control. Now that the emperor is young, the country will be in chaos if it continues. Then the lives of life will be devastated and the country will be in turmoil.
, I believe it is not what you see."
Chang Huai sighed.
It is true that Xiao Tai secretly arranged for him to serve as the commander of the Imperial Guard, and this is what he guarded against.
"But I am just a small commander, what can I do?"
"Duke Anguo has made arrangements long ago, and you only need to act according to your plan."
Xiao Chu smiled at Chang Huai with a calm expression on his face.
After hearing this, Chang Huai's expression became eased and he no longer had the previous cramped emotions.
Then, Xiao Chu and Chang Huai whispered a few words, then handed the jade pendant to Chang Huai and said, "General Chang, as long as you act according to the plan of Lord An Guogong, you will think things will definitely come naturally, and your future will naturally be the same.
bright."
After hearing this, Chang Huai nodded, bowed to Xiao Chu, and said solemnly: "Please rest assured, Lord Anguo Duke, I will definitely not let down his trust."
After saying that, Xiao Chu left.
After agreeing to the matter, Xiao Chu became much more calm.
However, Xiao Chu was also very worried because he hadn't seen Xiang Haofei for a long time.
Walking on the streets of Chang'an, there were endless noises. The streets were full of hawkers, various special items, and special snacks. Even if Xiao Chu was accustomed to ancient life, he couldn't help but sigh.
The ancient capital was indeed quite luxurious!
Xiao Chu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Looking back on his modern life, and thinking that he would never see his sister again in this life, Xiao Chu felt a little lonely again.
"Young Master, okay, I haven't had dinner in several days!"
When he looked up, Xiao Chu found that he was a little beggar. He was dressed in rags, his hair was messy like a chicken coop, and he was holding a broken bowl with a mouthless mouth in his hand.
Staring at this dirty temperament, Xiao Chu suddenly felt a little pity.
"Little brother, don't move here, wait for me to buy you food."
Then, Xiao Chu turned around and came to the bun shop behind, bought a few steaming big buns, and trotted back all the way.
After handing the bun to the little beggar, Xiao Chu said, "You're so hungry, I'll give it to you."
The little beggar bowed to Xiao Chu repeatedly and expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you, my son, I am such a good person, and I have a safe life."
Xiao Chu shook his head and signaled that the little beggar should not be so polite. Then he asked: "Little brother, why did you come out to beg at such a young age? Where are your family?"
The little beggar carefully packed the hot buns in his hand, as if he was afraid that they would be snatched away.
"I don't have family, my sister and I depend on each other for life. We have been the two of us since we were young."
Hearing this, Xiao Chu sighed, then took out a silver ingot from his arms and said, "Little brother, although I can't help you, I will accept my wish."
"this……"
The little beggar hesitated for a while and did not have the ability to directly take over the money from Xiao Chu.
"It's nothing, just accept it and just treat it as I've lent it to you."
Then, Xiao Chu stuffed the silver ingot in his hand into the little beggar's hand.
After accepting the beggar, he knelt down and thanked: "Thank you, young master, you are so young and kind, and you will definitely be rewarded by good people in the future. My sister and I will pray for you every day in the future. Thank you for your help.
”
Xiao Chu waved his hand and helped the little beggar up.
"It's just a little effort, little brother, I don't know what your name is."
"My name is Xiaoqi." said the little beggar.
"Okay, Xiaoqi, go quickly. I'm afraid I can't wait for you anymore. We'll meet again if we have the chance."
After hearing this, Xiaoqi expressed his gratitude to Xiao Chu again and then left.
Looking at the little beggar's back as he left, Xiao Chu sighed. If the capital was in chaos, there would probably be more begging in the future.
Xiao Chu asked himself that he had no great ambitions and did not want to be a savior, but a person who received modern education naturally could not ignore the sufferings of the ancient people.
Therefore, what Xiao Chu has to do now is to do his best to prevent possible crises and avoid disasters to the greatest extent. Even if they occur, they must minimize the harm.
Back at the inn, Zhi'er hurriedly walked up, holding a note in her hand.
"Brother Chu, I know this is for you."
Xiao Chu was puzzled and took the note and saw it. It suddenly read: "Please see the woods in the west of the city."
The note was not signed, so Xiao Chu didn't know who left it to him.
"Where did this note come from?" Xiao Chu asked after reading the note.
Zhi'er also shook her head, obviously, she didn't know.
"I don't know either. I went to clean your room this morning, saw this note on your desk, and then I've been waiting for you to come back."
After listening, Xiao Chu thought to himself: Since the note was discovered in the morning, the time to put the note should be last night, and the time should be after the hour of Hai, because he was not in the room at that time.
But who would be the one who put the notes?
If this note is written to yourself, it will at least convey three messages.
First of all, this person has a certain understanding of his whereabouts, and secondly, this person has something to do with him, but it doesn't say it on the note, and he doesn't know who the other party is, so he has no way to guess. Finally, this person must know him.
, otherwise it would be impossible to pass a note to yourself.
But, is the person who puts the note an enemy or a friend?
Only a few people knew about it when I came to the capital, so how did this person discover his whereabouts?
Everything is unknown, and Xiao Chu was a little confused at this time.
If you go, there may be a fraud. If you don’t go, what if Zhao really has something to do?
