Chen Mo took Yan Yu down the stairs and walked out of the restaurant. General Pang was still guarding the door. When he saw them coming out, he came over. He just saw that their faces looked a little bad, so he stopped smiling and said,
Said: "I'm full so quickly."
"You can eat whatever you want to make me full." Yan Yu said with his mouth bulging.
"this.."
"Where is our luggage?" Chen Mo asked.
"Oh, here it is." General Pang made a gesture, and soon someone brought their horses over. "Are you leaving now?"
"This horse belongs to them too, I don't want it anymore." Yan Yu said angrily.
Chen Mo took down Ma Anshan's luggage, carried one on his body, one on Yan Yu's body, and put a chubby rabbit in Yan Yu's arms, then handed the horse back to General Pang and said:
"General Pang, let's go."
After saying that, Chen Mo pulled Yan Yu and walked out of the city, leaving General Pang with a confused look on his face.
In the restaurant, after Chen Mo left, the atmosphere was a little awkward, but Jiang You quickly asked Lu Jun and Yan Shiji to sit down.
"I originally wanted to ease the relationship between you, but it seems that I am too passionate." Jiang You said with some self-deprecation.
"Your Majesty is worrying too much, and I am very grateful to you for what I have done, but I don't need to worry about the matter between you and Chen Mo in the future. Your Majesty has more important things to worry about." Lu Jun said calmly.
After Chen Mo left, Jiang Nu no longer wanted to eat. Seeing them talking about political intrigues again, he didn't want to listen even more. Thinking about Chen Mo's attitude before, he stood up and said goodbye to his brother.
Jiang You didn't try to persuade her to stay. He knew what his sister was thinking at this time. When she left, he asked his uncle to follow her. Lu Chunqiu was not interested in their official affairs and followed Jiang Nu downstairs.
After they left, Jiang You sent away the performing geishas, leaving three of them alone upstairs.
Yan Shiji said: "Your Majesty, now that the border war has been decided, they will not make any moves in a short time. It is time for us to put pressure on those old guys in the three states of Eastern Chu. Things on the Hezhou side have been prepared. Wait until
When summer comes, we can take action. If everything goes well, we can compete with the imperial court by the end of the year."
"Isn't it a little too hasty?" Jiang You pointed his finger on the table, thinking.
"If it feels too fast and the pace is not steady, we can split it up more carefully." Yan Shiji said slowly.
.......
Jiang Nu walked downstairs without leaving the restaurant. He asked the maid to ask the guards outside the door and learned that Chen Mo had left the city.
Lu Chunqiu saw Jiang Nu's thoughts and told Jiang Nu's maid: "Prepare the carriage."
"Yes." Maid Xiaozhu took the order and left.
"Uncle, why did things develop like this?" Jiang Nu said weakly.
"What is this and that? Are you worried about something or afraid of something?" Lu Chunqiu said with a smile. The previous tense situation between Chen Mo and Lu Jun had no impact on his mood.
After a while, Xiaozhu prepared the carriage and parked it in the deserted backyard. Xiaozhu accompanied Jiang Nu into the carriage. The other three maids stayed in the restaurant. Lu Chunqiu acted as the groom and drove the carriage in the direction where Chen Mo left.
Go, there is no rush.
"Alas, Mr. Chen left even before I could say hello just now." Mei Hongqu said with a sigh.
"Yeah, it was good at first, but the atmosphere suddenly changed. It's all because of that guy named Lu Jun." Ju Siqie also complained.
"Have you seen that man who is more beautiful than a woman? Who is he? He is so good-looking." Lan Rujun was a little crazy thinking about that beautiful man.
"Yes, yes, who is that person? Let the lady find out when I get back."
.......
After leaving the city, Chen Mo did not choose to take a boat. The feeling of taking a boat was too uncomfortable. Before that war, it was possible to go to the Tang Kingdom from where they were now, but they would have to pass through a little bit of Shang Kingdom.
, you can know the size of the county by touching it, but at the end of that war, the secret rescue operation of the Border Guard King occupied that position, allowing Shuozhou to be directly connected to Tang State, so now Chen Mo walked downstream along both sides,
You can reach Tang State.
"Chen Mo, if I had known that I would meet that person, I wouldn't have come. I didn't pay the money, but I was very angry." Yan Yu, who was walking along the roadside with Chen Mo, was still thinking.
Chen Mo handed her a water bag.
"what?"
"Put out the fire."
"If that prince really becomes the emperor, then you won't have a chance to take revenge on him." Yan Yu looked at Chen Mo.
"He can't run away." Chen Mo said lightly, "But before that, I have to find the other person."
"But, no one except Lao Shanzhu and Thirteen Niang has actually seen that person, and Brother Da Neng and the others don't know about him either. How can we find him?"
Chen Mo heard Yan Yu talk about the two men that Shisanniang mentioned when she died. The betrayal of these two men made her die in endless disappointment, one was Lu Yu, and the other was Yan Lang who had only been mentioned.
Before they boarded the ship, they went to find the people who had escaped from Black Tiger Mountain and told them about Ah Xiao and the others. They also asked them about the man named Yan Lang, but they didn't return him to death.
Tell me about your mother.
"If I really can't find him, then I will directly ask Lu Yu. I will make him live worse than death." Chen Mo said with narrowed eyes.
"Yes, let him live a life worse than death." Yan Yu tightened his grip on the rabbit, making the chubby rabbit struggle desperately. If he didn't struggle, he would be strangled to death.
"Chen Mo."
Lu Chunqiu's voice sounded behind them, and Chen Mo pulled Yan Yu to the side of the road. There was no one on the road at this time.
"Senior Lu, is there anything else?" Chen Mo asked.
Chen Mo left the restaurant. He was just uncomfortable with Lu Yu's appearance and had no objection to the others.
The carriage slowly stopped. Jiang Nu got out of the carriage with the help of Xiao Zhu. Jiang Nu apologized to Chen Mo and Yan Yu and said, "I didn't know things would turn out like this. I'm really sorry for Chen Mo."
"No need to do this, this is between me and that person."
"And me." Yan Yu interrupted.
"Then, are you just leaving like this?" Jiang Nu didn't know what to say.
"Well, let's go." Chen Mo nodded.
Chen Mo took two steps back, bowed his hands to them, and said, "No need to send them off, see you later."
After saying that, he pulled Yan Yu and walked towards the east.
"Goodbye, Sister Jiang." Yan Yu turned around and shouted to Jiang Nu.
Jiang Nu waved to them. He originally wanted to say a lot to Chen Mo, but after seeing the person, he didn't know what to say and just watched him go away again.
"If the condition given by the prince was to marry you to him, maybe Chen Mo could be kept." Lu Chunqiu suddenly said with a smile on the side.
"Uncle, what are you talking about?!"
Under the sunset, Jiang Nu looked at his uncle with shame and anger.
"Hahahahaha~"
...
Five days later.
"I can't walk anymore, carry me." Yan Yu said weakly, holding his shoulders and holding a burden in his arms.
"Don't carry it."
"Ah~!!!!" Yan Yu raised the rabbit in his arms high, and said under the eyes of the two unclear eyes: "If you knew better, you wouldn't have given the horse back, but now Chen
I've never seen your horse before, and they all said that they shouldn't eat so fat, and they had to eat so much."
"Eat it tonight."
"No, why do you always want to eat it? Are you hungry? If you are hungry, go to the river and catch two fish."
"Didn't you say yesterday that you were tired of eating fish?"
"You hold it for me." Yan Yu handed the rabbit in his arms to Chen Mo and stuffed it into his arms regardless of whether he agreed or not. "I've got a stone in my shoe. You go first. I'll follow after I fix it."
superior."
Chen Mo took the rabbit and really didn't wait for him, and continued along this somewhat deserted road.
He didn't go far when he heard the sound of "ta ta ta" running from behind, and then he hung something else on his body, only to hear a proud "hehe" from behind.
Two more days.
The two came to the easternmost part of Shuozhou, which used to be a corner of Quzhou in the Shang State, but was now occupied by the Chu State. There was a relatively important riverside city in the Shang State here, but now it has become another part of the Chu State.
A port, but due to the damage of the war, its functions have not been restored. Standing outside the city, both of them could still clearly see the traces left by the war.
There was a garrison handle at the gate of the city, and no one was seen going out. Chen Mo estimated that this was a city where troops were stationed, and it had just been robbed. No people from Chu State came here, and he didn't know that there were still aboriginals.
No one alive is inside.
"Chen Mo, why are they fighting?" Yan Yu asked, looking at the somewhat damaged city wall.
"Because the world is in chaos." Chen Mo replied calmly.
"Isn't the chaos caused by fighting? As long as there is no war, there will be no chaos." Yan Yu became even more confused.
"Some people don't think so. They only think that they are the ones who stop the war."
"I really don't know what's going on in those people's heads. Isn't it good to live a peaceful life? Is it possible that you have to listen to the voices of those fierce and powerful horses to sleep?" Yan Yu felt sad for those people.
"Let's go, you are not one of those people, how do you know what they are thinking." Chen Mo pulled Yan Yu and continued on his way.
"You are not a fish, you know how happy a fish is."
"You are not me, you know I don't know the joy of fish."
"Yeah, Chen Mo, you've made some progress." Yan Yu looked at Chen Mo curiously, has his slender head become enlightened?
The two of them did not choose to enter the city and continued eastward. They would reach the pass of Tang State in one day.
So, the next day, Chen Mo handed over the formalities at the pass of Tang State, was interrogated repeatedly, and after handing over some money, the two finally set foot on the land of Tang State.
