Chapter 456: Suspicion on both sides
It is said that Zhanlu was born, Qinglong changed hands, and Chen Long threw the dagger. Although Lu Chang was prevented from being stabbed with a transparent hole by Shi A, the Qinglong dagger was sucked into Zhanlu's sword by Shi A's Yungong, and was finally obtained by Wang Gai.
Chen Long and Lu Chang fled in the darkness. Wang Gai picked up the Qinglong Dagger and returned to the south courtyard of the Wang family with Shi A. Wang Yun was looking in front of the broken window. Wang Yue leaned against Wang Yun, seemingly still affected by his injury. Several people sat down again. Wang Gai took the Qinglong dagger and looked at it under the firelight. He praised: "What a dagger! There are two seal characters "Qinglong" engraved here. Could it be the legendary Chen Long's portable dagger?"
Shi A was surprised and said: "Could it be that the person behind me just now was Chen Long, the Lord of Qinglong?"
Wang Yun was shocked when he heard this: "If he is the Lord of Qinglong, why didn't he use the method of thunder and lightning just now?"
When Shi A heard this, goosebumps immediately appeared on his back. He couldn't help but break into a cold sweat when he remembered that he had risked giving up his back to Chen Long just now.
Wang Yue said slowly: "I heard that Chen Long had long given the Qinglong Dagger to his beloved wife for self-defense. Could it be that it is Chen Long's wife who is here?"
Wang Yun nodded frequently and said: "My dear brother, what you said makes sense! I heard that Chen Long has a group of wives and concubines, many of whom are outstanding in Qinggong and martial arts. Although the talented person has high martial arts, he has not used fatal thunder and lightning. He should not be Chen Long himself!"
If Chen Long heard this, he would laugh out loud. Several of the world's top men were suspicious in the secret room at night because of the matter of the Qinglong Dagger. Finally, Wang Yun cleared his throat and said: "In any case, he should be a master of the Qinglong Army. It is no longer safe here. Huben, just let me live in the North Courtyard."
Wang Yue and Shi A were both powerful figures, and they had gradually calmed down. Shi A suddenly said: "After Chen Long injured General Huben, he moved the Nanlin Sword Sect southward and completely controlled the Sword Sect. This time Chang'an appeared. Changes are also changes that should be followed. My lord and Mr. Wen Ruo have long expected that Chang'an will become the next target of the Qinglong Army, so the lord specially sent me to see General Huben. If Chen Long dares to come, he will be told whether to come or not. Return."
Wang Yun was convinced and heard Shi A continue: "Da Situ, my lord also asked me to bring a message to Situ."
Wang Yun nodded and said, "What does Meng De have to say?"
Shi Alian said: "Chang'an will be in turmoil, and the emperor's feet will be unstable. Please be alert to any changes in the Qinglong Army's troops."
Wang Yun suddenly woke up and couldn't help but envy Cao Mengde's advisers, such as rain, and said: "Master Shi, thank you for reminding me. I will arrange for Master Shi to protect the emperor."
After saying that, he turned to Wang Gai and said: "Gail, you immediately arrange for your men to monitor the movements of Huang Gai and Xun You at the north and south gates, and be sure to know the whereabouts of Lord Qinglong. At the same time, arrange for someone to check whether there are any suspicious persons among the strangers who have entered the city recently. "
Wang Gai nodded and left immediately. It was urgent to arrange surveillance personnel. Shi A then disappeared, finding his own way to connect with Mr. Cao Anmin. Wang Yue followed Wang Yun and did not enter the darkness. He chose a secret place in the Wang family compound to hide. In the deep and quiet dark night, an uneasy atmosphere surged. The tense atmosphere of the secret war in Chang'an, which was about to begin, had already filled this ancient city.
Chen Long and Lu Chang returned to the safe house. Lu Chang was still frightened when he thought about his narrow escape just now. Chen Long asked Lu Changqi to rest, and he changed into night clothes, sat on a recliner, and fell into deep thought.
The situation in Chang'an was unusually chaotic. His original estimate clearly underestimated Wang Yun's determination and strength. In particular, Cao Cao's surveillance and control of the Chang'an court seemed to be beyond his estimate. The appearance of Shi A obviously greatly increased the variables in holding the emperor hostage. If Cao Cao determined his true purpose, he would probably send more powerful people.
There is also the possibility of news leaking around me. I don't know yet whether it was an accident or someone betrayed me. The most likely possibility is that the enemy has gotten wind of it and is not quite sure of his detailed plan. However, he has still greatly increased his vigilance, desperately increased his strength, secretly arranged forces to defend himself, or set up traps and fishing nets, waiting for him to take the bait.
Now, if you look carefully, there are only five days left before the full launch. The troops of the Four Vajras should be basically in place. It is estimated that there will be news back tomorrow. The arrow is on the string and has to be fired. As long as it can control the emperor and control Chang'an, this chess move is considered to be on the right track. After controlling the emperor, the forces in Chang'an City will be cleaned up, and it will naturally be connected with Hanzhong and Wancheng. At that time, we can defend against Han Sui in the west and Li Jue and Guo Si in the north. Then we will raise heavy troops to besiege Luoyang on all sides, ensuring that we can capture the strong city again. Luoyang, drive away the false emperor Yuan Shu.
Chen Long thought about it and finally fell asleep. My body was still quite tired over the past few days, so my body gradually relaxed as the group breathing exercise started to work. Suddenly the beautiful figure of Diao Chan flashed in his dream, seeming to be saying something to a vague figure. Chen Long tried desperately to get closer and see clearly who was opposite Diao Chan, but there was always a layer of thick fog and he could not see clearly in the fog. man of.
Although he couldn't see clearly, Diao Chan's voice came vaguely: "Brother Long will come to Chang'an within thirty days. If you are not an enemy, you should surrender early."
Chen Long was shocked. Who did Diao Chan tell her whereabouts? Chen Long changed the angle and could not see clearly the people in the thick fog.
Diao Chan said again: "Father, why don't you say anything? Since Long Lang arrived in Chang'an, my daughter has been worried about you day and night, worried that blood will be spilled every five steps. Why is my foster father still stubborn? If you can put aside the past grudges, why don't you help my husband?"
Chen Long was shocked, and his heart was filled with wild waves. He never expected that Diao Chan would leak her whereabouts to Wang Yun, and that it was his beloved wife Diao Chan who betrayed him. When did Diao Chan arrive in Chang'an without telling him? Chen Long felt anxious and painful in his heart, and suddenly woke up. His forehead was covered with cold sweat. It turned out to be just a nightmare.
Chen Long breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head mockingly. How could Diao Chan betray him like this? He was really thinking about her every day and dreaming about her at night. He had baseless suspicions about his beloved wife. He was really too worried.
Chen Long was very unhappy with this feeling of worry. He had never been so anxious since he traveled through time. If you think about it carefully, this feeling stems from the uncertainty about the strength around Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. In addition to the powerful generals around Cao Cao, it is unknown what famous generals are waiting for him. How many masters are hidden in the deep Weiyang Palace? The deep palace that I thought was a shortcut to unify the world seems to be a beast waiting to devour me. Do I really want to dive in?
Left and right, suspicious, Chen Long kept his eyes open until dawn. The door knocker rang, and then Zhang Ning's gentle and calm voice came: "Husband, why didn't you come home all night?"
If you want to know what happens next, listen to the explanation next time.
