Fate is easy to tie, not easy to solve

The carriage was driving on the busy street, listening to the sound of hawking, bargaining to cater to, being ordinary and comfortable, Chu Hong couldn't help but smile.

Chu Hong and Wu Mu finished their lunch in the city and set off again. There were two jars of peach blossom wine in the carriage.Smelling the faint aroma of wine, Chu Hong closed her eyes and rested her mind.

Four years ago, he led the army to fight, and he got his name in the first battle.Mars!Who really knows how many soldiers gave their lives behind these two words.The Wu family army who bloodbathed Zhao State, he was young and vigorous, and he was more courageous than resourceful.Of the 3000 soldiers, only [-] returned, and [-] souls returned to the loess.One will be successful, and all bones will be destroyed, and all bones will be turned into ashes to promote his fame!

Sure enough, the Wu family army lived up to its reputation, and every soldier was extremely brave.The five thousand samurai troops made him pay such a high price!Seeing the soldiers fall one by one, he was also red-eyed.No one on the battlefield took into account that he was the prince of Chu, only 15 years old, and showed mercy to his subordinates.At that moment he was a general, the leader of the soldiers, the one who must be killed in the eyes of all the enemies.There were so many times when he almost became a dead soul under the arrow, what he saw were stumped limbs and broken arms, and what he heard was the screams of fighting.The sky is black, but the ground is red, blood-stained and red.

Kill an enemy general, reward a hundred silver!Sure enough, money is always the most tempting no matter when.The Wu family army was completely wiped out, and he returned to the court victorious.At the beginning, everything was taken for granted, but in retrospect, some things cannot stand scrutiny.

Why did the Wu family army, which has always been rigorous and disciplined, invade the border of Chu State so blatantly?And why did the two armies fight for a month, but Zhao Guo didn't send a single reinforcement?Why did Wu Changsheng's barracks only have the Wu family army, and why did the other soldiers disappear in that month?There are too many things that I can't figure out, but of course both parties can't take care of them.

It doesn't matter whether it's a murder with a borrowed knife or the real thing, what matters is the future.

Chu Hong opened her eyes, and gently touched the scar beside her ear. If the arrow misses by a single point, there would be no such person as Chu Hong in this world.

"Itsuki, ask the people over there to investigate someone."

Wu Changsheng, it's time to get to know you better.

Three days later, there is a forest on the border of Changzhou. It makes sense that there are many forests.The woods are easy to ambush and assassinate.As soon as the carriage entered the woods, the sound of weapons clashing was heard.

Wu Mu listened to the carriage and said, "What should I do, my lord?"

Chu Hong: "It's best if we don't interfere with each other. If we are implicated, we have to defend ourselves." He heard that there were no less than ten people on both sides of the war, and one thing more is worse than one thing less. As long as they don't get involved, they can turn a blind eye.

The carriage continued to move forward, and the sound of fighting was getting closer and closer.

Suddenly, a masked man was thrown towards the carriage. The masked man took advantage of the situation and raised his knife to slash at Wu Mu. Wu Mu blocked the horse with his stick and said, "Master?!"

A voice came from inside the carriage, "Go." Wumu joined the fight, and the masked men probably thought he was an accomplice with the other party, and attacked Wumu one after another.A masked man jumped onto the carriage and charged into the carriage. A gust of palm wind hit his face. Before he could see the carriage clearly, he flew away and spat out several mouthfuls of blood.At this time, six of the ten masked men had died, and the situation was over.

"Go!" The other four retreated and disappeared.

Those people didn't chase after them, and the five people were only slightly injured, which shows that they are all people with high martial arts skills.Wu Mu was about to drive away again, when the white-clothed man among the five stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Thank you, little brother, for your help."

Wu Mu said: "No need."

The man in white looked at the slightly swaying curtain of the carriage, and said: "Master, you are going to Zhuzhou. The horses of the five of us have disappeared due to the fight just now, and we are all injured. I wonder if it is convenient for you, sir, to take us for a ride? "

There was no sound from inside the carriage, Wumu clasped his fists, "Sorry, it's inconvenient for my son to say, this place is only half a day away from the border of Zhuzhou, I hope you can think of another way." As he said, the carriage moved forward quickly.

The carriage quickly disappeared from sight, and the four men walked up to the man in white. The man with the scar on his face said, "Master, who do you think they are?"

The man in white swung open his fan, looked meaningfully at the direction in which the carriage disappeared, and said, "Although I don't know yet, I believe I will know soon."

Two days later, Zhuzhou City.

It was already sunset when Chu Hong and Wu Mu arrived at Zhuzhou City.Zhuzhou City is not as prosperous as Changzhou City, but it is more peaceful and simple.Zhuzhou is famous for bamboo weaving, and every household can weave a few bamboo weaving patterns.After choosing an inn to stay in, Chu Hong asked Wu Mu to buy two bamboo wine baskets and put a jar of peach blossom wine in them.Chu Hong said: "Go to the west of the city at the end of the bamboo forest, there is a single-family Liang Mansion, and say that your grandson will visit his old man's house in the future."

Wu Mu: "Yes." Wu Mu went out with peach blossom wine.

Only now did Chu Hong see the inn clearly, and she couldn't help exaggerating the thoughts of the owner of the inn.This inn has three floors, the first floor is for guests to eat and dine, the second floor is for drinking tea and enjoying the scenery, and the third floor is for housing.The staircase spirals up from the middle, and all the rooms surround it. The whole building forms a column row.

At this moment, Chu Hong was sitting by the window on the second floor, in front of her was the excellent Xuejian tea, and the small pot was worth a hundred taels of silver.Sure enough, the tea is good, and the whole person feels refreshed after drinking it.

Zhuzhou, as its name suggests, is the only city in Chu that does not have flower houses, doors are not closed at night, and things are not picked up on the road.As dusk fell, the lanterns on both sides of the streets of Zhuzhou City were also lit.Every ten steps, the dim lights illuminate the path under the feet of pedestrians who pass by occasionally.In the darkness of night, tranquility and peace are the mentality of Zhuzhou City.

Only this kind of Zhuzhou City, such a quiet and peaceful Zhuzhou can raise such a woman, this city where his mother and concubine lived for 15 years.If he is nothing, open a small teahouse in Zhuzhou City, and share the morning and evening with such a city.

Then there were footsteps and voices downstairs.

"Guest officer, it's really the most sensible choice to live in our Fugui Building. The food here may not be available in some palaces, and the service is even more first-class. When you come to us, you will feel like you are at home..." It was the voice of Xiao Er.

"Oh, but just now the people in front of us have to stay in the hotel, how do you say it's full?" Chu Hong paused for a while, the voice.

Xiaoer chuckled and said, "The guest officer doesn't know, not everyone can afford to live in our Fugui Building, and those who live in our Fugui Building are both rich and noble."

"And how do you know which customers are rich and noble customers? Besides, Zhuzhou is no more than the imperial city, and there are not many rich and noble customers. Don't you miss a lot of business?"

While talking, they had reached the second floor. Chu Hong looked over and happened to meet the eyes of the man in white. The man in white nodded to him, and he also nodded back.Xiaoer smiled and said to him: "The guest officer eats and drinks well, if you have any orders, just call him." He led the five people up to the third floor.

"The guest officer does not know that there is a cheap building in Zhuzhou City, which is for ordinary people to live in. It is also a store opened by our boss. We will introduce those who cannot live in the rich building to the cheap building. Our boss said , the fat and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders, and no one will slip through the net!"

Xiao Er's voice gradually faded away, and Zhuzhou City in the night was like a beauty with half-closed eyes, quiet and harmonious.

When Wu Mu came back, he brought back a box of walnut cakes, which was not made by that person, so he couldn't taste that taste. It had been ten years, and he hadn't tasted that taste in ten years.
