Chang'an [Rebirth]

When Chai Zheng was still shedding blood on the battlefield in Mobei, Ruan Linshuang was already in court and had seen too many intrigues...

Everyone inevitably has selfishness, even honest and honest people are not purely for the sake of the common people and the livelihood of the people, some are for the history, some are for the glory and wealth. .

But if you have been in a high position for a long time, if you don’t look into the dust, you don’t know that you also came from the dust, and now it’s also a piece of dust for the superior, like this fake Xiao Xing—everything he owns is built on a layer of danger In terms of relationship, but he can't see clearly the suspension rope under his feet, he only knows the higher place that is within reach.

But... Chai Zheng really likes this kind of enemy's pig teammates. There is a saying that goes well, "Rather than working hard by yourself, it is better to send the most stupid surrender, and maybe a fine iron ore will be dropped for you."

The second half of the sentence is temporarily added by Chai Zheng.

She originally thought that this iron mine was owned by Beijue, and it would be difficult to snatch it for her own use. Such a good thing, Beijue would try to snatch it back even if there was another battle, and alarm Zhao Qian at that time. The imperial court's plan to build weapons was shattered ahead of schedule.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xing made a trap, using this mediocre iron ore as a cover to hide the real good stuff, even if he was robbed later, in order to prevent Tuoba Heng from becoming suspicious, he could only suffer from being dumb.

Wonderful.

Miao Chai Zheng is gearing up.

Chai Zheng asked with a "hey", "Little Ruan, if Xiao Xing really wants to use this iron ore for his own use, Tuoba Heng will definitely not let Tuoba Heng know about the things made of refined iron. That cannon is considered white. Did you give it to us?"

"It's not just the cannon, he will give us the whole iron ore for free." Ruan Linshuang drilled out from behind the rock, "Let's go, see if we can find the location of Xiao Xing and the refined iron ore."

Although Xiao Xing was not by Dai Chaochou's side, he was a fake, not as courageous as a real person, nor as capable, and he needed someone to protect him wherever he went, to prevent assassinations and people who plotted against him.

If it is said that Dai Chaochou is eye-catching, then Xiao Xing is mobilizing the crowd. This person is beyond imagination and is afraid of death. He is followed by dozens of people. Although they are separated by some distance, they may not be able to see Xiao Xing's purpose. Xiao Clan's Nanyuan Wang is so cowardly, inadvertently this word of mouth has dropped another level.

Chai Zheng had no hope for such a large mine, but Xiao Xing would send a spies between him and Dai Chaochou from time to time. This can also explain the reason why the empress Dai Chaochou loved and ignored the prince.

He looked down on privately but couldn't show it on the surface. Under the watchful eyes of the public, Dai Chaochou was still respectful to Xiao Xing. Even the little spies who came back and forth at this moment, who were very annoying, were treated as guests. Dai Chaochou had just started He still managed it well, but if this idiot prince continues to toss about, let alone another iron mine, even if the ingot of silver is lost, everyone will make a fuss.

Dai Chaochou gradually gritted his teeth, and Ruan Linshuang counted, "Three, two, one...that little spies won't survive."

Sure enough, Dai Chaochou pulled the people around him and bit his ears. The little spy was then dragged down, beheaded and thrown on the side of the ore. His blood soaked in the night wind, and smoked the nearest few miners. Vomited for a while.

"Follow Dai Chaochou, he is going to find Xiao Xing." Ruan Linshuang said again.

Chai Zheng raised her eyes slightly, and from her perspective, she could only see little Ruan's thin chin. In Chai Zheng's memory, Ruan Linshuang's appearance was always gentle and elegant, with a scholarly demeanor. The smell of blood was so overwhelming that Chai Zheng was startled.

As if aware of Chai Zheng's gaze, Ruan Linshuang lowered his eyes and smiled, "In the few years after your death, I didn't occupy half of the world by writing articles, I was good at calculations, well versed in conspiracy, and killed people without blinking an eye... It scared you gone?"

Chai Zheng licked his lower lip, "No, Xiao Ruan, I like you to be a scholar in the prosperous age quietly, and I also like you to cut open your chest and let me see how many dark corners there are. I like you, that's all. "

"..." Ruan Linshuang's ears turned red, and she said softly, "Let's go."

Tracking from the mountain, he made a bigger circle. Fortunately, Dai Chaochou walked very slowly. He left the camp alone, and broke into the darkness with a torch.

This is a cave, the road chosen by Dai Chaochou is very different from that of the little spy, who walks on the ground openly and aboveboard, if he wants to follow, it is easy to be discovered, it is also to blame for the little spy who is too slow and "underestimates the enemy", so proud He made two extra trips, which not only annoyed Dai Chaochou, but also completely exposed the path between the mine veins.

The cave was not dug overnight, and the edge is very secret. If there is no Dai Chaochou to "lead the way", even if you cast a net all over the mountains and plains, you can't find the entrance.

Chai Zheng had brought a fire pocket with him, but it was useless when he went into the water, and Ruan Linshuang was kidnapped again, so he had no preparations, so he could only walk into this unknown cave in the dark.

The darkness magnified the senses several times. The wound on the back of Chai Zheng's hand that was accidentally grabbed by Ruan Linshuang was burning like fire. It's no wonder Ruan Linshuang. Can't show it.

But now, Chai Zheng can even feel the roughness of her wet clothes. The delicate and intertwined threads look like wooden thorns falling into the neck, and the coldness has turned into a sharp pain. Chai Zheng's whole body There is no place where there is no pain. Fortunately, this kind of pain floats on the surface and does not go deep into the bones and blood, so she can bear it.

Chai Zheng's original purpose was not to worry Xiao Ruan, but unfortunately Ruan Linshuang had read too many medical books, and she was well aware of all the symptoms of poisoners.

But in this case, she could only accommodate Chai Zheng's bravado, and she had no countermeasures except worrying.

Although the cave wasn't narrow, it wasn't spacious enough either. The light in front was gathered, and a small spot could still be seen, but the distance between them and Dai Chaochou was quite far.

Before Dai Chaochou came out of the cave, he suddenly stopped, and then Chai Zheng keenly caught the sound of the lock being unlocked, and the light disappeared out of thin air.

Ruan Linshuang reached out and touched it. She knew that Chai Zheng was right in front of her, but she was afraid that the simple touch would hurt the poisoned person again, so she only dared to concentrate on sensing Chai Zheng, and did not dare to have any physical contact with her... According to Chai Zheng's temperament in the past, if she hadn't been in extreme pain, she would have been holding Ruan Linshuang in this darkness, not letting go for a moment.

Like a tacit understanding, Ruan Linshuang touched a piece of cold sleeve, it was too quiet here, no one dared to speak, Ruan Linshuang stomped her feet lightly, signaling that there was a mechanism under Chai Zheng's feet.

Chai Zheng also heard it, just after the lock was opened, there was a hollow sound from the ground.

Although he wanted to keep quiet, it did not prevent Chai Zheng from thinking, "Dai Chaochou is really talented, he can hide people in this kind of place."

Then he thought again, "Since Dai Chaochou knew the location of the refined iron ore, it is very likely that he did not go to Tuoba Heng, but instead attached himself to the Xiao family... Could it be that the person raised in the ground has something to do with the person surnamed Xiao?"

However, before Chai Zheng and Ruan Linshuang approached, the light of the fire came out again, but it was much dimmer, and it seemed that it was almost burning to the end. Dai Chaochou locked the door again, but he was not in a hurry to leave. He looked around a few times first. Eyes, then cleared his throat: "I know you are following me."

"..." Chai Zheng and Ruan Linshuang couldn't see each other's expressions, but it was certain that the other party was also confused.

After a while, there was still no sound in the darkness, so Dai Chaochou repeated it again, this time even naming his name, "Miss Ruan, Young Master Chai, come out, I won't make things difficult for you, I just want to chat."

Dai Chaochou is already old, if he doesn't care how disgusting he is, just listening to his voice is still kind, not to mention that the road is straight, if Dai Chaochou wants to catch a turtle in the urn, he will block it at both ends, set fire to it, and flood it with water. There is a way to kill the two little girls, since the one who has the upper hand now wants to "chat", it is natural to be half-hearted.

Chai Zheng signaled Xiao Ruan not to move, and she said from a distance, "What does Mr. Dai want to talk about?"

"It's very simple." Sensing Chai Zheng's nervousness, Dai Chaochou had a sarcastic smile on his face, "I want you two to cooperate with Lord Xiao Xing, and you two have stayed in Mobei for a long time. I won't treat you as ignorant little babies... To be honest, the Beijue Tuoba clan has been in charge for more than a hundred years, and there have been six khans in history, so it's time to change."

"Oh, if Tuoba Heng hears this, it's not just you, maybe the entire Xiao family will suffer, right?"

As soon as Chai Zheng's voice came out, Dai Chaochou's whole body froze instantly. He lowered his eyes in disbelief. A dagger was resting on his neck. Chai Zheng had arrived behind him at some point, and he could ask for it at any time in the darkness. life.

Dai Xuan's skills are not as good as Zhang Fan's, but Dai Chaochou is much better, first-rate is not considered top-notch, but second-rate is top notch. He said that he does not underestimate the enemy, but he still fell into the pit of arrogance. Dai Chaochou retracted his dagger again, the blade was extremely thin, and blood gushed out in an instant, Dai Chaochou had never seen such a frenzied young girl.

"I like the civil strife in Beijue, it saves me a lot of energy, but to be honest, Xiao and Tuoba are the same, and whoever manages this family will be a mess." Chai Zheng sounded indifferent, but in fact it took a lot of effort to let his hands Do not tremble.

She thought for a while and said, "It is the greatest disaster that you are alive."

Dai Chaochou wanted to say something, but he didn't expect Chai Zheng to cut his throat directly with a knife in his hand, blood spattered three feet, Dai Chaochou's mouth was pumping, he didn't know which step he took wrong until he died , actually let himself go to see Hades inexplicably.

Chai Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, she staggered and stood still, and Ruan Linshuang was not far away, she stretched out her hands in vain and dared not help, for fear that the contact would cause bruises and blood stasis again.

Chai Zheng kicked the corpse on the ground, groaned "hiss", but said in his mouth, "Leave you here, Beijue may still create a powerful cannon barrel, not to mention that you have not found anyone following you all the way, go down!" You suddenly became smart after a trip? Rather than listening to your nonsense, it would be much more convenient for me to open the door myself."

At this point, Dai Chaochou took his last breath, but he still refused to rest in peace.

Chai Zheng was quite satisfied at the moment, and when he was about to take out the key to open the door, he remembered that bloodstains could be wiped out just now, and when he took out the key... not to mention that his fingers were all swollen, he looked at Ruan Linshuang eagerly, and was scolded softly by Ruan Linshuang He said, "I thought you didn't know the pain."
