[Hanwu] Attack and retreat

It was originally an adventure in the secret treasure cave, but now it has become a story about the exploration of conspiracy in the palace. My brother suddenly lost interest and said: "Let's eat quickly and go home with strength."

When Chen Xu felt that he didn't want to pay attention to his brother, he only asked Liu Che: "The quantity here doesn't seem to be a reward from the emperor."

"Cangcao is the queen mother who is in power now, and he just arranged for someone from King Liang to take office last month."

"The Queen Mother doesn't want your life this time, and my surname is not Wei." Wei Qing flipped through the cabinet, took out all the food in the cabinet, and said, "But the Queen Mother is really strange, obviously mining gold mines here, why should Send you here to suppress bandits?"

"She has a problem with her mind." Liu Che sat down next to Chen Xu in frustration, opened the sauced meat bun, and tore it for Chen Xu to eat: "When Chen Xu can leave, we will go back together."

"Be sober, this is the territory of the Queen Mother. When those people go back and tell her, she will know that you have fallen into a gold mine. What I touched was not one or two pieces of gold, but a gold nugget with a hole. Don't say that she Seeing you as a thorn in the side, she would not keep alive if she were a commoner."

Liu Che: "So what? Could it be that I'm still afraid that these gold bars will fail."

"If this is really the Queen Mother's territory, she will send someone to look for you soon, uh." Chen Xu was stuffed with a large piece of sauce, and filled his throat with all the words that floated down his throat.

"She didn't dare." Liu Che said: "She would at most beat me to a half-mutilation, she would never dare to kill me."

"Why?" Wei Qing raised an eyebrow.

"Because Father has been very kind to me recently." Liu Che also raised his eyebrows. "When she moves me at this time, isn't she just telling the father that she wants King Liang to be the emperor?"

"King Liang just expressed that he doesn't want to be the emperor. Who do you think the emperor will trust, you and King Liang?"

"Father may not believe me, but if I die, King Liang will benefit the most, and Father's trust in Liang King will also be shattered." Liu Che said: "Besides, she must not have figured out how to explain this. The origin of this gold mine, otherwise people would have killed it directly."

Thinking about the time they stayed here, Chen Xu unconsciously nodded, agreeing with Liu Che's words.If there hadn't been a change in the emperor's attitude towards Liu Che, I'm afraid Liu Che's life as the Empress Dowager would have been decided this time around.

Wei Qing turned away dissatisfied.

Liu Che said again: "Although I'm fine, you are different from Chen Xu, so you should get in touch with Tang Yihou as soon as possible."

Wei Qing: "Aren't you refusing to leave?"

"I'm leaving, the Queen Mother rushed in and killed you all, and then blamed you for the crime of the gold mine. Not only will I not be able to bring back your corpses, but even Princess Guantao's mansion will be severely damaged."

Wei Qing's expression suddenly became complicated.

Liu Che said again: "Originally it was best for Chen Xu to go out, but he was injured and poisoned... You also said that the vine can go up as long as you are flexible, and your kung fu is the best among the three of us." the best."

"That's enough, I understand what you mean." Wei Qing took big bites of the sauced meat and pancakes in his hand. "Just for you to admit that my kung fu is the best, I promise to go out." Wei Qing said vaguely, opened the flower wine on the side, and took a few sips of wine.

The three of them filled their stomachs silently, Wei Qing loosened his muscles and bones, and left with the fire bag. Liu Che and Chen Xu turned off the lights and stayed in the grain warehouse.

When Chen Xu heard Wei Qing's footsteps disappear, he said, "This is the first time I've heard you praise Wei Qing's skills."

"I'm just telling the truth, his kung fu is indeed the best among the three of us."

Liu Che is indeed a guy who is born to buy people's hearts.Chen Xu secretly let out a sigh. "You don't think it's a bit strange. The Queen Mother doesn't seem like someone who would do such a thing."

"Who knows, there are some unreasonable days every month."

"The men in black before are also very strange, why are there two groups?" Chen Xu said: "If I were the queen mother, I would definitely not send two groups of people, and the place I chose was wrong. Why did you come here? I'm afraid you didn't find it here?"

"Except for the imperial palace, your family has the most wine of this kind, so it can't be your family's?" Liu Che said, "Don't think too much about it, your hair will turn white."

Chen Xu still felt that it was very wrong, but he couldn't allow him to think about it, and there was a sound of footsteps above his head.

Chen Xu and Liu Che immediately held their breath and stopped talking.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer to them, and even stopped on top of their heads.

"Did you find it?" Their voices were close at hand, and Liu Che and Chen Xu leaned together nervously.

"Not yet, there is an order from above, and anyone who sees—" The person did not say the latter words, but Liu Che and Chen Xu automatically imagined that he made a gesture of wiping his neck, because the person who spoke before quickly responded , the man said again: "Let's go, let's go to the entrance of the cave and guard."

Go to the cave and guard.

Chen Xu and Liu Che suddenly felt that they were not well.

When the footsteps of the two speakers had gone away, Liu Che immediately jumped up. "I'm going after Wei Qing."

"Wait a minute, what they said feels a bit strange." Chen Xu shouted: "He said he saw anyone, where did anyone come from?"

Liu Che paused. "That's right, even if he's talking about those forbidden soldiers, it's a bit weird." If those forbidden soldiers really resisted as he ordered, they would have been killed long ago, so where would anyone come from?

"Could there be a third wave of troops?" Chen Xu said, "If that's the case, then the second wave of men in black is justified, and this may be one of the reasons why the Queen Mother has been slow to act?"

"Then who is the third wave?" Liu Che said: "It will definitely not belong to your family. Who has such a great ability to dare to oppose Guantao Princess Mansion and the Queen Mother?"

Chen Xu stared at Liu Che in the dark. "Could it be yours?"

"If I had this manpower, I would have overthrown the Queen Mother long ago." Liu Che also stared at Chen Xu in the dark. "You always come up with strange things out of the blue, can't they be yours?"

"You said that you will definitely not be from our family." Chen Xu rolled his eyes.

"The things under your command have always been clearly separated from Princess Guantao's mansion."

"That's because Princess Guantao's mansion is completely under the emperor's control. My father is in the light, so I am naturally in the dark." He is tired of arranging those spies secretly, developing his power, and raising funds, okay?How can I have time to do these things.

"That's strange." Liu Che said: "Is this third wave of people enemies or friends?"

"I hope it's a friend." If Chen Xu could move now, he would wipe his forehead.Judging from the current situation, the third wave of people is more likely to be good friends. I just hope they don't mistake Wei Qing for "anyone".

"Crack." There was a slight sound in the distance.Both Liu Che and Chen Xu froze, and then heard more "cracking" sounds. In the quiet and dark cave, this sound made people shudder.

Who is it?What is the sound?

Neither Liu Che nor Chen Xu dared to ask.It's just that the two of them soon had the answer in their hearts, because in the darkness, a very obvious faint light lit up.

The faint crackling was that of flint and steel, and it sounded more than one pair, that is to say, more than one person.

Footsteps sounded quickly, approaching them without hesitation.

Liu Che immediately touched Chen Xu and wanted to carry him up.As soon as he grabbed Chen Xu's shoulder, Chen Xu felt a slight soreness from his shoulder, wondering if the poison had passed.Just as Liu Che pulled Chen Xu up from the chair, a flash of fire came over him, and then more fire...

Liu Che and Chen Xu: "..." This is not even giving time to escape...

Before Liu Che and Chen Xu could get discouraged, Wei Qing rushed over, "Prince, Chen Xu." There was still a smile on his face.

"Prince, son." Several people holding torches saluted Liu Che one after another. Liu Che glanced at them, and suddenly he felt concerned.

No wonder there are fermented rice here that can only be found in the palace, no wonder the Queen Mother is afraid to do it, no wonder there will be a third wave of people, so it turns out...

...
