Chapter three hundred and thirteenth acting

Chapter 313: Making a show

There were only three people on it immediately, with thick spies inside, and a small charcoal stove. A casserole on it was steaming, and the smell of ginger was filled with the entire carriage.

Chen Mengyao, who should have fallen from the river, is now living a blanket all over her body. Zi Yu is busy helping her dry her wet hair with a towel, and her wet clothes are put aside.

Zi Yu helped wipe her hair and asked, "Sister Mengyao, do you feel cold?"

The river water in late autumn is not cool at all. Chen Mengyao is just a weak woman. She was soaked by the river water. She was trembling with coldness and her face was very pale. Her originally rosy lips have now turned pale. Hearing Zi Yu's concerns about the issue, she smiled slightly and said, "Sister, don't worry, my health is much better now, not that cold!"

Zi Yu nodded and complained: "I really don't know what this young master is thinking. He flew so hard that you jumped out of the river. You just didn't get on the boat just now. I had to spend a lot of people like this. Anyway, I can't see the other side of the river!"

In fact, Zi Yu was not angry about this. Jiang Lang was so angry that she used this kind of good intentions to help others become pairs, but she turned a blind eye to her own, as if she didn't exist. Moreover, Zi Yu was also a smart person and knew that if this matter was leaked, Jiang Lang would face a huge disaster. Jiang Lang dared to take such a big risk now to help others. Moreover, in a certain aspect, these two people had nothing to do with him and others, and they had not known each other for a long time.

Chen Mengyao didn't know Zi Yu's thoughts. When she heard Zi Yu blame Jiang Lang, she smiled and said, "I think the young master must have his own ideas, otherwise she wouldn't have such a plan."

Speaking of this, Chen Mengyao sighed slightly and said, "Actually, I know how great the risk my young master took this time. We will never pay back the love we owe him in our lifetime. We can only repay him as a cow or a horse in the next life."

Zi Yu shook her head, put the wet towel in her hand aside, then picked up a dry towel, wiped Chen Mengyao's hair again, and then said, "You may not understand him. He needs to repay him? There is a saying that no one in the world will eventually get married. I think he thinks that way in his heart. You should cherish it, don't let him down."

Chen Mengyao nodded, then looked at Zi Yu and said, "What about you?"

"I?"

Zi Yu was shocked, and couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, and asked, "What am I?"

"You and the young master!"

Chen Mengyao said it without reservation and said, "Sister is also a woman, so naturally you can see your feelings for the young master. Now we are here; you don't have to hide anything from the two of you, so you might as well say it."

Zi Yu's hand froze, a helpless smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Sister, you may have read it wrong. There is nothing between us."

"Why do you have to lie to me?"

Chen Mengyao grabbed Zi Yu's hand and said, "Your thoughts are written on your face. Except for the young master's piece of wood, my sister can see it clearly. Moreover, Zi Ling also told me in private that in her heart, she also hopes that you can marry the young master."

Zi Yu's body trembled, and the string in his heart couldn't help but twitch. He remembered the first encounter with Jiang Lang, and that night, when the prince asked him to choose, he was heartbroken when he chose Zi Ling. Thinking of everything that happened later, Zi Yu's face couldn't help but show a hint of sorrow, and he lowered his head and said nothing.

Chen Mengyao couldn't help but sigh and said, "Being a woman is actually the most miserable. After finding a husband, she is afraid of being bad to herself. When she finds a good husband, she is also the most afraid of being like a young master. Alas...!"

Seeing Chen Mengyao sighing for herself, Zi Yu felt a little reluctant, and took a deep breath and said, "This can only be blamed for my hardship! Okay, sister, let's not talk about this anymore. Drink some ginger soup to drive away the cold, otherwise it will be bad for your health."

After saying that, Zi Yu put down the towel in her hand, then a small bowl, carefully poured out some ginger soup from the small pot, and handed it to Chen Mengyao.

Hesitated that this was on the carriage driving, and Ziyu seemed particularly careful, otherwise the ginger soup could be sprinkled out.

Chen Mengyao took the ginger soup, blew a little, then took a sip, and suddenly felt a hot feeling, and it was a little sweet. It seemed that Zi Yu specially added some sugar to make the ginger soup not so bad.

After drinking half a bowl of ginger soup, Chen Mengyao suddenly felt a heat rising in her stomach and the chill on her body was much less. Then after drinking the remaining ginger soup, she handed the bowl to Ziyu and said, "Thank you sister!"

Zi Yu smiled softly and said, "Sister is so polite, but he is still thoughtful and even thought about it!"

Chen Mengyao nodded and said, "Actually, he is a person with a very careful mind. I think he understands your thoughts. I don't understand now. Why is he almost blind to you?"

Zi Yu's expression dimmed again, and she said, "Because he doesn't have me in his heart at all."

Chen Mengyao gently held Zi Yu's hand and said, "Why, I'll tell you?"

Zi Yu shook her head and said, "Sister, no need. As you said, he is a very meticulous person. I should understand that Ji Ran has no expression, which means that he has no me in his heart, so why should I deceive myself? Moreover, he said, just in case, he will not meet you now, and we should respect his meaning. Now, I guess many people are staring at him."

Chen Mengyao naturally understood this truth in his heart. Jianglang helps him to help him with great risks. If it spreads, the factory supervisor of the East Factory helped the princess of Wasai to elope with his lover, then it is likely that the two countries will fight each other, and Jianglang naturally cannot escape the relationship, and he may be killed all over the family.

"What do you do?"

Chen Mengyao couldn't help asking, and then carefully Zi Ling, hoping to see some of her thoughts from her face.

Zi Ling smiled and said, "Let's go with the flow. Some things are unforgivable. I have seen through them now. By the way, how did Brother Gao arrange it?"

Chen Mengyao shook her head slightly and said, "Young Master didn't say it in detail, but he also said it. It's probably still a while before I can wait. I guess there should be important things to be completed."

Zi Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's going to be a aftermath, that is, it may be necessary for Brother Gao to act. After all, you are the only one who disappears now, and Brother Gao has not disappeared. Naturally, there are many questions to ask him. If he acts too naturally, it may make people suspicious. But... I still want to ask now, you have really let go of everything, including your child."

Zi Yu said in the end, her voice couldn't help but feel low. Although she was not a mother, she also knew the importance of a child to her mother.

Chen Mengyao smiled slightly and said, "I can't let it go, but I believe he will be a good kid in the future. Moreover, I hope the young master can take good care of him in the future. Moreover, I don't want to let him down that man."

...

Just as the two girls were having a heart-to-heart talk, Jiang Lang and others searched on the riverside. The heavy fog in late autumn was not so easy to dissipate, and now the thick fog is still filled with thick fog.

Pier Ma Heima looked at Sun Yuanbiao and others anxiously in the water, hoping that they could bring good news, but the facts always disappointed him. Sun Yuanbiao and others searched for him for a long time, but still found nothing.

Jiang Lang's face was full of anxiety, but most of the expressions were pretending. Seeing Pierma Heima's face full of anxiety, Jiang Lang smiled in his heart, but his face was anxious and said, "I will immediately find someone to transfer the troops from Hangzhou to come over. I can't find the entire river to search!"

"No!"

Pierma Heima immediately said, "The identity of the princess must not be disclosed, otherwise this matter will be even more troublesome!"

Jiang Lang looked at the guards in the river and said, "What should I do? The river here is relatively turbulent, and there is no one to be found now. Moreover, the situation on the side of Dahan is very urgent. I am afraid that if you don't rush back as soon as possible, there will be problems on the side of Dahan."

Jiang Lang didn't say it, but when he said that Pierma Heima's face was even more anxious, he said, "What do you think you should do?"

Jiang Lang pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to do this. Mr. Chen stayed and continued to look for people. I will send someone to continue looking for them. If you find them, I will send someone to notify you immediately. And you will immediately rush back to Watshu. I am worried that Watshu will change. I will also send someone to return to Beijing immediately and let the emperor prepare to send troops to Watshu. However... I also hope that you can come up with a plan as soon as possible for the cooperation between the two sides!"

The situation is very urgent now, and Pierma Heima can't help but hesitate. Thinking about it, it's still important to sweat. He agreed immediately, hurried back to the shore, and then rushed back to Watshu. Jiang Lang still asked people to search for a while, and then went home.

Chen Mengyao's assassination must be a blow to Chen Zhong, as if in an instant, he had grown much older.

Jiang Lang was naturally worried about him. The next morning, Jiang Lang came to the river where Chen Mengyao was assassinated. From a distance, he saw Chen Zhong standing alone by the river, looking at the surging river water, and his white hair was dancing in the wind with the wind, which looked a little desolate.

Jiang Lang couldn't help but sigh, as the saying goes, "I am a pity for my parents in the world. I am an orphan. I grew up in the military camp, grew up in the military camp, and I eat and live in the military camp. Because of the military, my superiors made me strict with me and others, but I was brothers. I may never have experienced the kind of care for my parents. In the Ming Dynasty, this ancient Chinese dynasty, I married and had children, and now I am a parent. Naturally, I understand why I am a pity for my parents. Seeing Chen Zhong's lonely appearance, Jiang Lang felt somewhat unbearable.

Turning around, taking out two bottles of wine from the carriage, Jiang Lang walked directly to Chen Zhong's side, and sighed: "I sent someone downstream to search, but I still couldn't find the princess's body. Maybe he was rescued, but it might not be possible."

Chen Zhong's face seemed to have grown a lot overnight, and he didn't look back at Jiang Lang. He shook his head slightly and said with a sob: "You don't have to comfort me anymore. I know that I was stabbed and then fell into the river again. How much is this person still alive? What I want to do now is to find her body and bury it well, and it can be considered as a sanctuary."

"You can rest assured of this!"

Jiang Lang took over his words and said, "I am sending someone to look for him. Once there is news, I will naturally send someone to notify you!"

After saying that, he handed him the wine in his hand and said, "It's cold, drive away the cold."

Chen Zhong took the bottle, opened the bottle plug, took a sip, then sat cross-legged on the ground and said, "It's all my fault. At the beginning, I really shouldn't have taken her to the thorns, otherwise she wouldn't have suffered such bad luck now."

The Chen family is also quite wealthy, and Chen Zhong only has one daughter. Even if Chen Mengyao does not do anything after she gets married, the Chen family's property is enough for her to eat and drink for several lifetimes.

Jiang Lang also sat cross-legged beside Chen Zhong. He knew that what Chen Zhong, who was hit like this, needs most now is an audience. No matter who the audience is, the pain of losing his beloved daughter is not something that ordinary people can understand.

Sure enough, Chen Zhong seemed to be possessed, looked at the river below and murmured: "Mengyao was born in September. A few days before her birth, her mother dreamed of the fairy of Yaochi in the sky. Later, we discussed that if we had a daughter, it would be called Mengyao. Sure enough, a few days later, Mengyao was born, so we named her Mengyao as we originally thought."

"Mengyao is very good at studying. She is already a talented woman in her young grade. She is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When she was sixteen years old, she was already graceful and famous in our local talent. Naturally, there are endless people who come to ask for marriage. However, Mengyao has a high vision. How could she be favored by those rich children? Alas... I blame me. I didn't see it at that time. It turned out that there was already a high water in her heart."

"But Gao Shui is just the son of a martial artist. Although he is a good person, how can he be worthy of Mengyao? At this time, I really shouldn't have taken her with Watami, otherwise she wouldn't be noticed by the Khan. The Chen family's business in Watami is quite good, and how many people in Watami can reason with you? If Mengyao doesn't marry, all the family businesses in Watami will be confiscated. This is second, and more importantly, the Chen family's workers may not be able to come back. In this case, how can I have other choices?"

Chen Zhong said here, the sad expression on his face couldn't help but turn on his face.

Jiang Lang felt a little unbearable, but he knew that even if Chen Zhong wanted to see Chen Mengyao, it was not the time. Although he believed that Chen Zhong might keep it secret, he could never take this risk now. Not to mention anything else, at least he had to wait until he took it away. When the Ming Dynasty got his own land, the purpose of the Ming Dynasty had already been achieved, and Chen Mengyao and Gao Shui could be considered as cooking raw rice. Even if Chen Zhong wanted to report it to himself, he would have to consider Chen Mengyao. A dignified princess elope with someone, whether it was Tutubuhua or Emperor Jingtai, his face was lost. The lightest punishment was that Chen Mengyao might be sentenced to death.

After saying this, Chen Zhong stopped talking again, staring blankly at the rolling river water in front of him, his face dull, and there seemed to be no spirit in his eyes.

Jiang Lang sighed slightly and said, "Don't be sad, actually, I was wrong. If she had asked her to be with us when she boarded the boat, it would probably be difficult for this assassin to succeed. It was all my carelessness."

Chen Zhong, who was stunned, shook his head, his eyes still stared at the rolling river in front of him, and said, "Actually you are not wrong. I know that this assassin was sent by Yesen. Even if he didn't take action now, he would do it on the way back to Watsen. In other words, Yesen was devoted to the life of his little girl."

"Actually, I don't understand one thing!"

Jiang Lang showed a look of confusion on his face and said, "Actually, the princess has lost her value now, why do you want to assassinate her first? In fact, the main person should be the prince. Moreover, this person assassinated the princess and exposed himself, which seemed a bit unreasonable."

Jiang Lang actually knew that this question was a problem in Chen Zhongzhong. Although Chen Zhong looked very sad now, Jiang Lang knew that he had similar questions in his heart. After he calmed down, he was asking these questions. It would be better to ask him now.

Chen Zhong shook his head and said, "I still don't know. As you said, Mengyao has little effect now, so why does Yesen still want to assassinate her?"

Now Chen Zhong's mind is full of longing for his beloved daughter, and he has no time to think about this.

"Can you...!"

Jiang Lang muttered, "I'm going to be interested in Chen Zhong's way." Since Chen Zhong won't guess these reasons now, it's better to lead his thoughts to another way."

Sure enough, Chen Zhong was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked at Jiang Lang, saying, "Is that something?"

Seeing that Chen Zhong was attracted by his own topic, Jiang Lang pretended to be willing to speak but stopped and said, "I'm just a guess, maybe it's not right, but this is also the reason why I can think of why I want to kill the princess first."

Chen Zhong's face suddenly showed an anxious look and asked, "Tell me quickly."

Jiang Lang touched his chin and then said, "I am also a smart person first. Naturally, I know that once the Khan cooperates with the emperor, he will be the most unfavorable person. But now, although his power has exceeded that of Khan, he still dares to act rashly and has to wait for time. After all, this war is not a joke. So when you come out this time, he naturally sent someone to hide beside you and inquire about the news. Although the princess has little effect now, he is also a dignified princess. At the same time, I brought it out this time. If the princess is assassinated, the Khan will blame the court for its poor protection. The cooperation between the two sides will naturally fail. Moreover, if there are still people in Khan's ears.

If the Khan is furious, the Khan will definitely send troops to the Ming Dynasty again in anger. The prince is still in the Ming Dynasty. Facing the Khan's attack, the imperial court is likely to use the prince as a hostage and ask the Khan to withdraw his troops. If he is sent to assassinate the prince first, then the angered Khan will definitely fight against the Ming Dynasty regardless of everything. Although the Khan is powerful, his vitality is severely damaged after the last war. He will naturally win less and lose more when fighting with the Ming Dynasty. At that time, he can get the world of Watts without any effort. This is a three-headed eagle that can not only break the cooperation between the Khan and the Ming Dynasty, but also kill people to get rid of the Khan and get the Khan's country with a knife. That is really vicious."

Jiang Lang said this, and Chen Zhong's thoughts couldn't help but think about it. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. The sadness on his face was slowly replaced by anger, and then gritted his teeth and said, "You are still cruel!"

"Yeshen is a wolf in the grassland!"

Jiang Lang added fire and said, "Don't think he would be kind. In the hearts of people like him, kindness to others is cruelty to himself. In order to achieve his own goals, he will do whatever he wants to assassinate the princess, which is reasonable. And this is not the first time. From the time we met the princess and returned to the capital, we met as many as a hundred assassins, all the way. If we hadn't found the hiding place of those assassins and eradicated them, we would have been entangled by those assassins. And we have now captured the leaders of those assassins, and he explained that the person who gave silver to them to assassinate the princess was from Wassai, and it was probably Yesian's person."

Chen Zhongteng stood up, smashed the bottle hard on the ground, and said angrily: "Yesen, I am incompatible with you!"
