Indeed, Chu He did not tell the truth.

But he looked at Xu Rongrong's bright eyes and chose silence.

Because of some things, he didn't want to involve Xu Rongrong.

This time the emperor summoned him to enter the palace together with the deputy commander of the imperial army, but in the end he just lightly ordered them to escort the southern Xinjiang envoy back to southern Xinjiang and then tried to get him out.

His intuition told him that this mission was not as simple as the emperor said.

Therefore, relying on his familiarity with the palace, he quietly hid on the pillars outside the study while the emperor left the deputy commander alone to explain the tasks.

It's hidden here, and you can hear the conversations in the room clearly.

Sure enough, as soon as he hid, he heard the voice of the deputy commander: "I am guilty of failing to fulfill your majesty's instructions and let Vai return to Honglu Temple intact. Please punish me!"

Chu He frowned when he heard this. He took Vai out of the palace by chance. Unexpectedly, the palace hid the matter. He knew that there must be something fishy in it, but he never thought that it was His Majesty who arranged it himself.

Mu Rong once told him about this matter, but he still could not understand why his Majesty wanted to deal with a girl from southern Xinjiang who was not very smart, so he was confused.

Now it seems that if he had not taken Vai out, he would have been a corpse long ago.

Before he could think about it, he heard the emperor's voice: "It's too early to say this now. There are always opportunities. I will order you to take full responsibility for this matter when you go to southern Xinjiang. You should understand my intention."

"Wei Chen understands that Wei Chen will never let Vai go back alive!"

"Well, remember one thing! Since Vali wants to go back at this time, he may have become suspicious... After entering the southern border, you can also get rid of him." There was a hint of coldness in the emperor's words.

"Yes." The deputy commander responded.

"..."

Chuhe heard it clearly from the pillars.

At this time in his previous life, after he entered the court, the relationship between Southern Xinjiang and the Great Zhou Dynasty was already at odds. It seems that in the previous life, brother and sister Vali and Vai had an incident.

Now, if the mission assigned by His Majesty goes well, after entering the Southern Border and handing over the Vali brothers and sisters to the Southern Border guards, the Forbidden Army will be waiting for action.

In this way, we can not only get rid of the Vali brothers and sisters, but also clear up the relationship with Da Zhou.

After all, the ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang are complex, and it is not impossible to take action due to internal strife.

He is just a new member of the Forbidden Army. His Majesty ordered him to go on this mission with the deputy commander. The intention is very obvious: if he misses or is discovered by the people in southern Xinjiang, he, who has just joined the Forbidden Army, is the best person. scapegoat.

Their calculations were very good, so this mission was also very dangerous for him.

How could he tell Xu Rongrong and make her worry?

Facing Xu Rongrong's questioning, he took a step back: "The eldest lady is overly worried. It's just an imperial mission. Why should I hide it from you?"

"Chu He, do you know that you can't lie?" Xu Rongrong looked at him quietly, "You look so worried now, it doesn't look like you are just going on an imperial mission."

Chu He avoided his eyes: "I... just went to southern Xinjiang because of the high mountains and long roads. If I were delayed on the way, I might not be able to make it back in time to attend the eldest lady's wedding ceremony."

"That's it?" Xu Rongrong narrowed his eyes.

"Exactly."

"You didn't lie to me?"

Chu He lowered his head and avoided her eyes: "I don't dare."

Xu Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You really shocked me just now... It's not even March yet, and there are still more than three months before the wedding, how could you not make it in time? What's more, even if you missed it, I will also leave a glass of wedding wine for you."

"Thank you, Miss." Chu He felt a touch of sourness in his heart.

He owed her his life.

She died tragically in his hands in the previous life. Although he did not do it unintentionally, it still made him brood.

After being reborn, he just wanted to be by her side to protect her for the rest of her life, but he found that she was reborn just like him.But even though she knew her fate in her previous life, she was still willing to treat him sincerely in this life... This not only made him ashamed, but also made him unable to conceal his charming feelings.

However, he was a step too late after all. When he entered the capital, she had already been granted a marriage.

If she didn't want to marry Mu Rong, he would try his best to take her away.

But for more than half a year, what he saw in his eyes and felt in his heart was that she also had a trace of friendship for Mu Rong.

She treats herself with sincerity precisely because she has no charming feelings in her heart.

But her indifference to Mu Rong was full of melancholy and avoidance... After all, he was the one to whom she had given her sincerity.

Although he understood in his heart, hearing her say the word "wedding" so easily still made him unable to hide the sour feeling in his heart.

I hope that this trip to southern Xinjiang will have a good result, that it will allow him to stand higher and protect her more thoroughly.

……

Tomorrow Chuhe will get ready and set off, and he has been here all night just to say goodbye to Xu Rongrong.

When he left Zhuxiang Yayuan, Xu Rongrong's expression changed slightly, and he immediately called Luo Shu: "Go and find your brother here."

Luo Chen came soon: "What are your orders, Miss?"

It must be possible to find him in such a hurry.

"I asked you to recruit some skilled people earlier. I wonder what happened to this matter?" Xu Rongrong asked.

"Back to the eldest lady, the villain has recruited ten people in total. Four of them are very skilled people and have signed death contracts with them as 'Tao Gong'. The villain has also verified their details. They are all in the capital. Poor people with families can feel free to use it." Luo Chen reported back.

Xu Rongrong nodded: "Since it is useful, then let them keep an eye on Honglu Temple and follow the Southern Xinjiang delegation when they leave Beijing. Remember that you only need to observe secretly to follow them. Do not fight with others. If you find out If there is any abnormal situation, the flying pigeon will send a letter and come back to report the news."

Xu Rongrong would never believe what Chu He said just now.

But since the other party didn't want to tell the truth, and she didn't want to threaten him, she had only one way: to send someone to follow him secretly.

But since Chu He was involved in the Prince Huangzhuang case, if his relationship with her was discovered, it would definitely affect the plans of Mu Rong and the third prince. Therefore, she could not expose the relationship between Chu He and herself in front of outsiders.

Luo Chen is naturally trustworthy, and his vision is also good, but... after being so secretive, Xu Rongrong didn't dare to gamble. It would take more investigations to find out what happened to the four people in the death contract.

It's just that the matter is urgent now and they have to be used. After thinking about it, the only way is to let them follow the mission to protect southern Xinjiang, so as not to arouse suspicion.

When Luo Chen saw Xu Rongrong's instructions, he immediately understood that the situation was serious.

So he quickly agreed: "I'll go down and make arrangements right now."

He didn't take two steps before he stopped again, looked at Xu Rongrong and said, "The eldest lady has arranged this, but is Guard Chu in danger?"
