The path of the villain is not easy

Chapter 293
As soon as he walked out of the inn, Changsun Ji saw a man standing at the door of the inn through the car window, and there were several soldiers behind him.

With just one glance, Changsun Ji knew that this person was Guan Cong, although he had never seen Guan Cong before.

Sure enough, as soon as Changsun Ji thought about it, he saw the man step forward, clasped his hands towards Changsun Ji's carriage, and said, "Guan Cong asks to see General Changsun."

Wang Gang leaned in to ask for instructions, Changsun Ji nodded and walked out of the carriage.

"The last general's management is not strict, and the general was surprised by the assassination here. I hope the general will forgive me." Seeing Changsun Ji coming out, Guan Cong bowed his hands to Changsun Ji again.

"General Guan is out of touch. The general has avenged me within two days. I have not yet had time to thank you. If I apologize, it should be me. I came to this expensive place and did not see the master, so I took the liberty to disturb you." Changsun Ji He chuckled twice, and stepped forward to give him a hand.

"Where, where. I'm afraid that the general will dislike me for not taking good care of me. Since the general is here, why don't you play around? So that I can do my best as a landlord." Seeing that Changsun Ji is so talkative, Guan Cong still has some do not adapt.

He had visited three times before, but he had never seen Changsun Ji. He thought that Changsun Ji was a rebellious person, and he was so easy to talk now, which really didn't remind him.

"There are outstanding people here, I also wanted to take a stroll, but the emperor ordered me to stay, so I don't want to stay too long."

"So that's the case. Since General Changsun bears the emperor's order, then I won't keep him. If the general thinks highly of me, Guan Cong, I still have some strength in this. If the general needs help with anything, you can order it." Guan Cong Cong patted his chest, looking very bold.

Changsun Ji rolled his eyes slightly, and said with a light smile: "What did the general say, I have long heard that General Guan is a hero, and seeing him today really deserves his reputation.

General Guan and I hit it off today, and I can't wait to get to know each other sooner rather than later.It's just that because of the emperor's order, I can't stay here too much.If General Guan comes to the capital, feel free to come and find me. At that time, we will have a drink and talk together. "

"Okay, okay." Hearing Changsun Ji say this, Guan Cong seemed very happy.

"Speaking of help, I really need to trouble General Guan with something, but I'm a little embarrassed to trouble General Guan anymore." Changsun Ji said with a smile.

"General Changsun is out. If there is anything you can say, if I can help, I will never refuse."

"Hehe, this is not a big deal. I have a righteous sister who was spoiled by the family since she was a child. She yearned for a life of a hero. This time she was going back to Beijing with me, but she ran away secretly because of the emperor's order. I can't stay for a long time because of the reason, and I have to ask the general to pay more attention. If you find any traces, can you send someone to tell me, so that I can feel at ease." Changsun Ji said softly.

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, and I would take care of it on me. If Lingmei is still in Zhongmou, I will definitely find her and promise to return you a complete sister." Guan Cong said with a smile.

"Okay, then I won't stay here for a long time, and please pay more attention to the matter of my sister." Changsun Ji said, then turned and got into the car.

Guan Cong nodded, and then sent Changsun Ji out of the city all the way.

Changsun Ji sat in the carriage, looked at the smaller and smaller city of Zhongmou behind him, turned his head to look at Wang Gang and said, "What's the matter with Guan Cong? He's not under the Third Prince, why would he be so courteous to me for no reason? "

"If it's just because of my assassination, if I'm afraid of my revenge afterwards, as long as I only encircle and suppress the people in Wangyue Villa, it will give me face. After all, the other party is a member of the third prince. In order to avoid suspicion, it is impossible to come out to see me off today, let alone You can't say something like 'ask him for help'."

Wang Gang thought for a while and said, "Young Master, do you think it's because Guan Cong wants to use your hand to join the Prince?"

"His parents and teachers are all under the third prince's subordinates. If Xiang wants to develop better, he should continue to stay under the third prince's subordinates. How could he switch to the prince's faction for no reason.

A person like him who switched, especially if the original master had not fallen out of favor, would not be reused even if he was under the prince's command. Guan Cong is not a fool, so it should not have been unexpected. " Changsun Ji said after thinking.

Afterwards, Changsun Ji frowned slightly, and looked at Wang Gang's slight movements, obviously thinking of something.

"Hehe, the Guan Family's ambitions are not small. Is this their intention to join the family?" Changsun Ji said with a chuckle.

"Young Master, you are joking. The Crown Prince himself occupies the orthodoxy, and his wings are even more plump. Even if Guan Cong joins the Crown Prince, if he does not make great contributions, it is impossible for the Guan family to join the family. It is estimated that they will be able to stay in the royal family." Bloodline, at most, can promote the development of the Guan family's power faster."

Changsun Ji nodded in agreement.When he said just now that the Guan family had become one of the aristocratic families, the elements of ridicule still accounted for the majority.

If it is true as Wang Gang said at the beginning, Guan Cong flattered him because he wanted to vote for the prince, but if his father didn't follow suit, it could only mean that the Guan family was planning to invest separately. , no matter who wins the throne, they can guarantee that the Guan family will not be exterminated because of seizing the throne.

"It's not easy to say about this matter. If it's based on our guess, then it's fine. If there are other reasons? We have to guard against it. You send people to station here in Zhongmou, and monitor this Guan family well."

"Yes, son, I will arrange someone to do it." Wang Gang cupped his hands.

"I don't worry about your work." Changsun Ji stretched out his hand and patted Wang Gang's shoulder and said with a smile.

Time passed in the cracks where the carriage rolled over the road, and it had been two days since Zhongmou left.Although it hasn't reached the capital yet, it's almost there.

Changsun Ji estimated that it would not exceed seven days at the latest, and their convoy would be able to reach the capital.

As it was getting late, Changsun Ji arranged for someone to find a flat ground and set up camp on the spot to prepare for rest.

After sitting in the carriage for a whole day, Changsun Ji felt a little stuffy, so he and Wang Gang wandered along the road for a while, which was also regarded as a walk to breathe new air.

Changsun Ji and Wang Gang didn't run very far, but they just strolled around, and it was already more than half an hour when they returned to the carriage.

Back beside the carriage, Changsun Ji saw a group of guards gathered together, laughing loudly, as if they were discussing something happy.

Changsun Ji was aroused by them, walked over and said with a light smile, "What are you talking about? So happy."

Hearing the sound, all the guards who were still surrounded turned around, seeing that it was Changsun Ji, they hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.

When the guards turned around, Changsun Ji saw what was surrounded by the crowd through the gap, it was a deer.
