Sun Zhaozhou felt something was wrong. He opened a corner of the carriage and looked out, "How long have we been parked here?"
"It feels like a long time." Lin Zhongchun imitated Sun Zhaozhou's actions and looked outside, but her position corresponded to the wall and she saw nothing.
Gu Chen said: "Are you sure you were told to wait at the west gate?"
Originally, Sun Zhaozhou's answer to this question was very certain, but when Gu Chen asked, he seemed not so sure.
Sun Zhaozhou put down the opened curtain, bent down and stepped out of the carriage, taking a shortcut to the two soldiers guarding the west gate, "Isn't this the place to participate in the preparatory mission?"
"No." The soldier shook his head, "I heard that candidates for the preparatory mission all gather at the Zhengnan Gate. Could it be that you are in the wrong place?"
"How could we have come to the wrong place?" Gu Chen got off the carriage and walked to Sun Zhaozhou, "The person who announced the recruitment of the preparatory delegation was Mr. Qin. How could what he said be false?"
Another soldier said: "We don't know about this. We are only responsible for guarding this place. As for the rest, if you want to know the details, just ask the corresponding person. Why should you ask us who don't know anything?
."
Lin Zhongchun also got out of the carriage, and when he was about to say something, he saw a woman in yellow walking out.
"Brother Zhaozhou?"
Xuanyuan Mengying was preparing to go to her imperial grandmother. In a few days, it would be her birthday, and she had to prepare in advance to prepare birthday gifts for her.
Unexpectedly, she saw Sun Zhaozhou here. A smile suddenly appeared on Xuanyuan Mengying's face. She walked over quickly and asked: "Brother Zhaozhou, didn't you say you were going to participate in some preparatory mission? Why is this so?
Are you still here? When I just left, I saw Eunuch Sun walking in with a group of unfamiliar people in civilian clothes. They should be people preparing for the mission. I was wondering why you were not there? So you are here.
.”
Gu Chen frowned. He had a strange feeling after the soldier's answer just now. Now after listening to what the Thirteenth Princess said, he immediately understood where the strange feeling in his heart came from.
Already.
Previously, when he helped Sun Zhaozhou to inquire about information, he only focused on inquiring but forgot to find out where the information came from.
Now that he thinks about it carefully, he must be his brother's political enemy Su Qi who can do tricks in the city of Kyoto and have the ability to reach the sky with one hand without him noticing.
Su Qi and his brother both worked under Sun Zhaozhou's eldest brother. Six months ago, because Su Qi lost a city, the position of his deputy general fell to his brother, so he hated his brother.
At this moment, he came to Kyoto City, and his brother was not here, so he came to take it out on himself.
Sun Zhaozhou can naturally think of things that Gu Chen can think of. He knows about Su Qi and Gu Chen's brother, so he can't blame Gu Chen for not being careful.
Sun Zhaozhou said: "Aying, can you take us into the palace?"
He didn't have a sign on his body that allowed him to enter and leave the palace freely, and he needed someone to take him.
Xuanyuan Mengying smiled: "Of course."
She likes Sun Zhaozhou even more now. Although she understands that it was helpless for Sun Zhaozhou to make such a choice at that time, she is still very happy that Sun Zhaozhou chose her instead of others.
Now that she has escaped marriage, she will try her best to help Zhaozhou realize what her brother has not accomplished and what he wants to do.
