Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space
Chapter 374 California City
Concubine De whispered in the palace maid's ear and asked her to continue sending people to keep an eye on the general's palace. She herself conveyed some half-truth and half-false news to Concubine Shu, so that her people could reach the fourth prince as soon as possible.
Concubine Shu had been worried about the safety of the fourth prince during this period, and suddenly received some news. Regardless of whether it was true or not, she quickly sent people out to search for traces of the fourth prince.
Half a month passed in a flash. Chen Changli, who had left the capital, put on a disguise and hurried to the southwest.
On the way, he also received a message from the prince and learned that the prince left the capital at the same time as him to go to southern Xinjiang.
His heart felt a little heavy, but he had no time to ponder the meaning behind this matter.
He began to observe the refugees on the road, and contacted his subordinates who had already arrived in the southwest. Through the news channels they established in a short period of time, he quickly located the place where the fourth prince last appeared - California City.
Chen Changli didn't dare to waste any time and immediately rushed to California City with a few good players.
After ten days of driving, Chen Changli arrived in California City. Before he took anyone in, he discovered that many soldiers were attacking the people.
The common people were all skinny and skinny, and it was obvious at first glance that their lives were difficult. Chen Changli saw that the common people were being bullied and quickly went over to help them.
When several soldiers saw him helping, they frowned unconsciously, but they didn't say anything. It was obvious that they had their own purpose in driving away the people, and they were not bullying others at all.
Chen Changli quickly noticed this and quickly asked: "What happened in this city? Why are ordinary people being driven away?"
The people who were driven out did not answer, they just sat on the ground and cried very hard.
It felt as if they had been greatly wronged, and the soldiers felt uncomfortable looking at them.
But the situation in California City is indeed not good, and as soldiers they are also following orders.
"General Zhao is injured, and he is planning to come here to recover. As soon as the news of his upcoming arrival came out, many outsiders came here."
"The prefect thinks that these people may have been arranged here, so he specifically told us to guard the city gate and not let in people with weird thoughts."
An older soldier sighed deeply after saying this, and his eyes turned red.
If the fourth prince hadn't dragged down General Zhao, they wouldn't have stayed here to target the people who were already having a hard time.
However, they couldn't tell anything about the fourth prince. They could only mention General Zhao, hoping that the people would understand.
"We are really just villagers from the next village, not assassins at all. Wuwu, we don't have anything to eat at home. We went to the city today just to use the last money at home to buy something back. How could I have thought that you guys are so unreasonable? !”
The soldiers have their own difficulties, and so do the common people.
If there is a conflict between the two parties and neither one accepts the other, it will naturally lead to a quarrel.
It stands to reason that the common people are afraid of the officers and soldiers, and it is impossible for them to have the courage to make trouble with the officers and soldiers.
If their family hadn't really been unable to survive, how could they have been in a stalemate with the officers and soldiers?
"Dear officers and soldiers, I think what they said makes sense. Besides, there are many people protecting General Zhao. Even if an assassin comes, General Zhao will be safe and sound."
"And these people look very miserable. I think it's because of the war in the southwest. Their lives are not easy. Nowadays, California City is still prosperous, and they can continue to live their lives relying on California City. So you Just let them in.”
After listening to what the soldiers and people said, Chen Changli deliberately looked at the people's faces invisibly.
Seeing how thin they were, with a look of fear on their faces, Chen Changli thought of the days when he had fled from famine, and knew that what these people said was true.
What's more, these soldiers mentioned Zhao Yunhui, which means that they are all Zhao Yunhui's soldiers.
Chen Changli knew Zhao Yunhui well and knew that he was a loyal and patriotic man, and the people would naturally be protected by him.
Therefore, even if the soldiers were worried that he wanted to drive away the people, they did not use much force. Instead, they spared no effort.
"But..." Several soldiers had hesitation on their faces.
When Chen Changli saw it, he said: "I am from the Zhao family. If anything happens to these people, you can come to me directly. I also want to see General Zhao. Please show me the way."
Zhao Yunhui should obviously be in charge in the southwest, but now he has come to California City.
Chen Changli felt that he must have come here because of the fourth prince.
He just wanted to see Zhao Yunhui and find out what happened.
After listening to Chen Changli's words, several soldiers immediately became more vigilant and looked at Chen Changli again with guarded eyes.
Obviously, Chen Changli's going to see Zhao Yunhui directly caused a misunderstanding among them.
Chen Changli noticed the change in their eyes and understood that they had misunderstood.
He didn't explain much, just took out a very ordinary-looking jade pendant and handed it to the soldier.
"Go and see General Zhao. He will definitely see me when he knows I'm here."
After saying this, Chen Changli led his people into the city without staying here.
As soon as he entered, he heard the people talking about Zhao Yunhui, saying that he came to California City three days ago.
Three days? It has been a month or two since there were rumors that the fourth prince secretly returned to Beijing. Zhao Yunhui came here three days ago. Could it be that the fourth prince is here.
Chen Changli's thoughts turned to this, and he deliberately tried to find out all kinds of information. However, the people in California City didn't know anything about the fourth prince. They only paid attention to Zhao Yunhui's injury.
Chen Changli originally wanted to go directly to see Zhao Yunhui, but then he thought that Zhao Yunhui came here with great fanfare to invite you to the urn.
If he suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Yunhui, he would probably attract attention.
After thinking for a while, Chen Changli arranged for the people he brought to move to other places, while he found an inn to sit down.
Just after staying at the inn for a day, Zhao Yunhui sent someone over.
Chen Changli followed his people directly to the Yamen, but he smelled a strong smell of blood before he arrived.
"General Zhao, why are your injuries so serious?"
Chen Changli smelled the smell of blood and immediately felt that Zhao Yunhui's situation might be very bad.
He hurriedly walked into the room and locked his gaze on Zhao Yunhui with precision. At first glance, he was startled by Zhao Yunhui, who looked pale and seemed to be terminally ill.
"It's not that confused prince. If it hadn't been for him, I wouldn't have been so seriously injured."
Zhao Yunhui shook his head and sighed, as if he wanted to sigh out the speechlessness of his life.
"Hey, if I had known that this prince was not even as good as a hair of Prince Duan, I should not have come here in the first place. Instead, I would have tried my best to recommend you to His Majesty. Maybe once you come, he will be obedient. "
Chen Changli heard a hint of complaint in his words, as if he was very disappointed with the fourth prince, and his expression couldn't help but be a little strange.
"Don't you want to marry your niece to the fourth prince? Why are your feelings for him so bad now? What has he done during this time?"
