The dead enemy in the previous life gave me joy

I heard that on the day of Chongyang, when Gu Zhai and Chu Chu climbed together, a major event happened in Shangjing: the famous Wanhua Building was empty overnight.

This happened without any warning, and many people who often bought news from Wanhualou didn't know the reason. The Wanhualou seemed to have disappeared from this world out of thin air, and suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Everyone speculated what happened to Wanhualou, and all kinds of rumors and rumors spread in a decent way. If you want to say that the most people believe is that something big will happen in Shangjing soon, saying that Wanhua Lou's boss must have known some great news in advance, this is to run away in advance!

When Chu Chu heard Wang Xi tell him these folk gossips, he listened to him. Naturally, he knew the reason. It was he who sent a letter to Yu Chuan, ordering her to find a time to evacuate. There is no battle, and it has become a territory of the Sichuan Kingdom. No one will doubt that the continued existence of Wanhualou here is more harmful.Wouldn't it be even worse if it caused trouble.

This day Gu Zhai packed a lot of food from Zuixianju, and brought them to Chu Chu's room one by one.

After ascending the heights to appreciate the chrysanthemums, Chu Chu opened the food box of the drunk fairy house, reluctant to move his chopsticks. When he returned to the mausoleum, he would not be able to eat such good things. Fortunately, it was cold winter when he first came. By this autumn, I have tasted all the delicious food in the four seasons of the capital.

While stuffing food into Chu Chu's bowl, Gu Zhai chatted with him, and the conversation reached Wanhua Tower.

Gu Zhai said: "It's really strange that Wanhualou has people going to the empty building overnight, haven't you heard anything in advance?"

Could it be that Gu Zhai discovered something and came here to test him out?

It shouldn't be so, he didn't have much contact with Wanhualou from the beginning to the end.

He answered in an orderly manner: "Wanhualou is such a big business, and suddenly the building is empty. Maybe it's because the owner wants to wash his hands in a golden basin, or he wants to avoid some enemies. Anyway, those are the reasons."

Gu Zhai smiled: "I also wanted to inquire about some news through Wanhualou before, but now Wanhualou no longer exists."

Chu Chu was a little curious, "If you have any news, you need to inquire through Wanhualou. The famous General God of War has no spies under his command?"

Of course Chu Chu knew that he had it, but he couldn't point it out so clearly.

Gu Zhai looked at him looking eager for knowledge, and stretched out his hand to rub Chu Chu's head, Chu Chu instinctively flinched, he was not used to being so close to Gu Zhai, so he simply kept this not too far away, not too close distance.

Gu Zhai said: "Although I am a general of a country, I have my own secret guards and spies, but some things cannot be entrusted to them, and some secrets cannot be inquired by them, do you understand?"

Chu Chu nodded. It is true that even his subordinates should not disclose some too private information. Those more obscure and private information must not be exposed to others.

"You don't want to know what news I want to get from Wanhualou?" Gu Zhai asked with great interest.

Chu Chu ignored it. Now that Chuan Ling is no longer in a battle, he has no interest in these things. Instead, it was a top secret that he had to get anyway.

"I've always wanted to look up news about General Weng Shu from the Ling Kingdom. I really don't understand why such a good-looking person died so suddenly for no reason. I think it's a mystery."

"Don't you admire General Weng Shu very much, and you have never asked Wanhualou about him?" Gu Zhai asked.

Chu Chu couldn't help being startled, Gu Zhai still insisted on asking about him in his previous life?Obviously, he has been buried in the loess and no longer exists in the world, so why does he still pursue everything about Tao Jiang?

Then he thought more about the inextricable and incredible connection between him and Tao Jiang, and he became faintly worried. It seemed that it was imperative to leave Shangjing earlier.

Chu Chu said: "Everyone knows that General Weng Shu has passed away. I heard that General Weng Shu's tomb was erected in that Caotang Temple. Don't you believe it?"

He also said: "If a number one person like General Weng Shu is still alive, how could you lead an army to surrender to Lingguo? He died before you surrendered, so how could you know that you would not lead an army to attack Lingguo?" The city will destroy the entire Mausoleum Kingdom?"

Gu Zhai nodded, admitting that what Chu Chu said was reasonable, no one told him that he flew back to Shangjing privately that day, and who would know that he was pleading for him, Tao Weng Shujuan did not dare to use feigned death to set up such a grand scheme, This is also what he couldn't figure out, but such a person died like that...

Chu Chu himself didn't understand how he died suddenly at that time, how he passed away, and how he became another person. Is this the legendary "grabbing the house"?

Gu Zhai said: "After Wanhualou goes to Loukong, I'm afraid it will be the Weng family who will benefit."

"The Weng family?"

"It's Weng Hexuan's family. You don't know. Weng Hexuan has coveted Wanhualou for a long time. He negotiated with the shopkeeper of Wanhualou a long time ago and wanted to buy that building for his own use. But for some reason, Wanhualou But he refused to transfer it to him, and now that Wanhualou is empty, according to Weng Hexuan's temperament, you will be able to see a new "Wanhualou" in a short time."

"You mean that he wants to take over Wanhualou's business under the name of Wanhualou, but he didn't..."

"No? His father is the Minister of the Ministry of War. How could he not have someone who did this? He just wanted to use the 'shell' of Wanhualou to bring this matter to the surface to grasp more secrets. You You're still too young, how can you understand the treachery in the court, intrigue, it's always been there." Gu Zhai's eyes darkened a little.

"How could he do such a nasty thing."

"If I were him, I would do the same, but the Holy One acquiesced that my subordinates could support spies and secret guards, and there is no need to do anything more." Gu Zhai continued, "Besides, our general's mansion is married to his military minister's mansion, which is considered a relationship A grasshopper on a rope."

It turned out that Wanhualou Shuda Zhaofeng had already been targeted by others. He was negligent, but he still couldn't swallow the breath. Wanhualou was built by him. The banner of Hualou is another matter, it is really dumb to eat coptis, and it is hard to tell [1].

But now is not a good time, he is about to steal the soldier talisman, and then he has to go north, there must be no mistakes at the critical moment, this matter can only be suppressed and figured out later.

After Gu Zhai left, Chu Chu sat in his room feeling depressed, he had picked many wild chrysanthemums along the way that day in Chongyang, and now he broke off a branch and held it in his hand, tearing the slender chrysanthemum petals one by one.

It was because he had lived too comfortably in the general's mansion, that he had enjoyed such a long idle life as a son of an aristocratic family, and Wanhualou's "looting" was like a blow to his head, making him understand that he was not Chu Chu, nor Chu Chu. Can't do Chu Chu!

One careless move and everything was lost, the general's wife who had been guarded by Gu Zhai for so long in the general's mansion even lost her original vigilance.

Yu Chuan must be worried when the Weng family's impostor Wanhualou reappears. The next day, Chu Chu rushed to Xiaji Tea House and let his pigeons fly on the Tianzi private room. He wanted to tell Yu Chuan that they should not Don't act rashly, and don't go back to Shangjing because of a moment of anger, just wait for him to steal the military amulet, and he will take them northward together, and will have nothing to do with the power vortex in Shangjing from now on.

Chu Chu left a letter for Xia Yi among the tea leaves in the Tianzi private room, picked up a bag of tea leaves and headed home.

On the way back, Chu Chu had already noticed the eyeliner that Gu Zhai sent to follow him, so it didn't matter, he was not far away anyway, as long as it didn't affect his stealing the soldier talisman.

Chu Chu thought, nothing can stop him from going back, and nothing can stop him from restoring the country. In his previous life, he failed to protect the complete Ling Kingdom, and he is about to do it in this life.

The Mausoleum Congress has quietly returned to its previous strength, so strong that other countries dare not invade, all he can do is to buy time for this, as for what will happen in the future, it is unknown.

You don't have the right to control your destiny, you can only do your best.

As the saying goes: "Do your best to obey the destiny" [2], which is probably the case.
