Chapter 173 Unwilling to give up(1/2)
Although he was confused, Chen Muqing was not in the mood to meet Chang Hui.
"Tell me, Master Chang, Kyoto is in danger now, let him find a way to go out of the city!"
The servant left.
But when the two were disturbed like this, the atmosphere became more lively than before.
Chen Zhen advised Chen Muqing: "I'll go and ask again."
Chen Muqing also knew that she was making things difficult for Chen Zhen... but she was even more worried about Xiao Sa.
Sighing, Chen Muqing came out of the study.
I looked up but saw Chang Hui.
He was pacing around the yard with his head down.
When the servant saw this, he hurriedly explained: "I asked him to leave, but he refused to leave..."
Chang Hui, who heard the movement, looked towards this side.
Chen Muqing was stunned.
Chang Hui's expression was serious and cold, not as relaxed as before, as if she had become a different person.
She suddenly thought of the scene when she first met Chang Hui at Liu Niang's house that day...that sharp gaze...
Chen Muqing walked quickly towards Chang Hui.
"But what's the dilemma?"
Chang Hui saluted her from afar. When she approached, she whispered: "Auntie, my family's affairs have been settled. If you don't object, I'll help you find Mr. Xiao."
Chen Muqing was stunned, and then the joy of the sky swallowed her.
"What did you say? Help me find Mr. Xiao?"
Chang Hui nodded with a solemn expression: "I have been in the northwest for almost twenty years, and I am very familiar with the passes over there. I have arranged my sister-in-law and two nephews. I will help you find Mr. Xiao."
Chen Muqing cried with joy: "Come with me."
Chang Hui nodded with a smile and followed Chen Muqing into the bookstore.
The daughter returned with a short man, and Chen Zhen was surprised and welcomed him.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Muqing pulled Chen Zhen's sleeve: "Master Chang said, help me find Xiao Sa."
Chen Zhen looked at Chang Hui in shock.
Chang Hui nodded and said his experience: "...he can speak Yuan Meng's words, and there are some Yuan Meng's friends who have never seen Mr. Xiao before and need a portrait of Mr. Xiao."
Before Chen Zhen could speak, Chen Muqing turned around and called the servant: "Invite Manager Pang."
Chen Zhen looked at his daughter and sighed faintly.
From Wanping to Datong, where something happened, we were traveling thousands of miles away, and we were looking for someone we had never seen before. It was harder than finding a needle in a haystack... But seeing Chen Muqing treat Chang Hui as a driftwood that saved his life, he swallowed the words he said.
Just treat it as comforting people!
Soon, Pang Debao arrived.
Chen Muqing told him about this with some excitement. Pang Debao couldn't hide his excitement and was very respectful to Chang Hui: "Master Chang, please follow me. I'll find a portrait and draw the appearance of the young master for you."
Chang Hui nodded with a smile.
They saluted Chen Zhen and left together.
Chen Muqing clasped his hands together: "I hope I can find it!"
*******
The day after Chang Hui left, the Yuanmeng people met the Liaodong army who went to the capital to serve the king. After fighting for a night, the Liaodong army finally forced the Yuanmeng people back fifty miles.
Everyone in Kyoto breathed a sigh of relief.
Open the city gates to welcome Dai Shenghui.
Dai Gui fought and retreated from Huaiyuan. When he met his father Dai Shenghui, only 6,000 people were left, including 1,500 people from Gansu.
Dai Shenghui looked at the blood-stained soldiers, with tears in his face.
These are all his soldiers...
The Kyoto officials who had been silent all the time looked at the scene in front of them, thinking of the classmates and colleagues who died in Datong, and they didn't know who shouted angrily, "It's all the kings who ruined the country." This sentence, like a fuse, ignited the anger hidden in people's hearts during this period... The officials rushed into Xihua Gate regardless of everything, and beat the eunuchs when they met...
The King of Jin, who was acting as the emperor, was so scared that his face was pale, and he only knew how to pull Wang Shengyun's sleeve: "Ge Lao...Ge Lao...What should I do? What should I do?"
Wang Shengyun smiled coldly, looked at Hu Xin, one of the two remaining major scholars in the cabinet, and said, "George Hu, in my opinion, I can only deal with Eunuch Wang's followers to calm the anger..."
Before Hu Xin could answer, the King of Jin said repeatedly: "What the Master of the Pavilion said is very... Send someone to arrest all the prince's followers and throw them into the imperial prison."
Hu Xin, whose hair and beards were white, looked at Wang Shengyun's resolute face, smiled faintly invisibly, bowed and bowed to King Jin: "Then please send someone to arrest Wang Yan's followers! If the matter continues, I'm afraid... "
The words that had not been said made King Jin shudder and said hurriedly: "Yes, Master Wang, I'll ask you for everything - I'm only responsible for the supervision of the country."
Wang Shengyun respectfully saluted the King of Jin and then left with his sleeves.

Chen Zhen sat cross-legged on the big kang next to the window, looking at the old locust tree with the leaves stretched out outside, his eyebrows tightly twisted into the character "Sichuan".
Zhou Baimu, who was standing in front of the kang, looked at Chen Muqing who was serving on the side with a helpless look.
Chen Muqing nodded slightly at him and smiled, "Baimu, nothing is wrong here. You can retreat first!"
Baimu glanced at Chen Zhen and saw that he did not make a sound. Then he bowed to the Shen family and daughter and retreated.
Chen Muqing watched Baimu walk out of the yard, then he gave Chen Zhen a cup of tea again and slowly sat next to Chen Zhen: "Master, are you worried that Master Wang Ge Lao will take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents?"
Chen Zhen turned around, looked at Chen Muqing with a serious expression, and replied irresponsible: "I am just afraid that Kyoto will fall in our hands..." As he said that, there was a crystal flash in his eyes.
"No!" Chen Muqing comforted Chen Zhen, "Look, didn't Dai Shenghui come to serve the king? There are also Zeng Ju, the Yuanmeng people who fled in sight, Lord Sun, General Sun of Guizhou, and Lord Zhao of Yunnan... they all come to serve the king. There will be no trouble in Beijing!"
Chen Zhen looked at his daughter and smiled bitterly: "Far away water cannot save the near thirst..."
Chen Muqing looked at Chen Zhen and nodded firmly: "I will definitely arrive in time!"
She encouraged her father.
At this moment, Yingfen's voice came from outside: "Master, everything is packed!"
Chen Zhen patted Chen Muqing's hand: "Muqing, go..."
Chen Muqing shook his head: "I won't leave. I will stay here to accompany the master. Let Aunt Chen leave. Leave Kyoto and have someone escort her to Zhoushan - Dashe is still there."
Chen Zhen smiled softly: "Silly child, this is not the time to talk nonsense. If you don't leave, there will be no chance... You go, Aunt Chen will leave too, you can go together! Take this opportunity and leave. Kyoto, just have me."
All my eyes were reluctant to leave.
Chen Muqing's tears fell down.
"I won't leave... Don't rush me... I know very well that you want to live and die with Kyoto... Kyoto is to you, like you are to me. With you, I will be here with you... I will be with you... Biluohuangquan, and our family can be together."
Chen Zhen held back his tears: "Silly child, what if Xiao Sa comes back and can't find you?"
"He also has his own parents... Unlike me, without you, he is just a lonely geese... Let the aunt go... She will be buried in Taicang in the future... I will go to Xiangshan with you to find a wife..."
"I'm talking nonsense again..." Chen Zhen smiled reluctantly, "You will have a long life in the future... have children and enjoy the offerings of your descendants... Xiangshan is where my wife and I stay..."
"I won't leave..." Chen Muqing hid on Shen Zhen's knees and started crying, "When the wife left, let me take good care of you. I won't leave, and I will serve you by your side..."
Yingfen outside the curtain also started to cry as she heard this.
"I won't leave, and I won't leave..."
For a moment, there were crying inside and outside, and the atmosphere was sad.
The door curtain was suddenly lifted open, and Aunt Chen walked in with red eyes.
She knelt in front of Shen Zhen: "Master, please let aunt go! I'll be here to accompany you!"
Chen Zhen looked at Chen Muqing with tears in his eyes, and looked at him with pleading eyes, and then looked at Aunt Chen who was sobbing with his head down. Thinking of Xiao Sa, who was missing, and thinking that if he was gone, his son and his biological mother, his daughter would be helpless... He sighed softly and called Baimu in: "You send Aunt Chen out of the capital!"
Aunt Chen burst into tears after hearing this.
Chen Muqing stepped forward to comfort her: "I've left all the family affairs to you..."
Aunt Chen nodded cryingly.
"Stop crying!" Chen Zhen said in a deep voice, "I have something to say to you."
Aunt Chen nodded sobbingly.
Chen Zhen called Zhou Baimu in again: "You all listen."
Similar to a will... Everyone looked solemn, including Chen Muqing, standing quietly in front of Shen Zhen.
"After Dashe, he lived in the Min family and went to study in the Min family school. When he grew up, he married the Min family woman." As he said that, Chen Zhen's eyes fell on Aunt Chen.
Aunt Chen nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Master, I will ask Dashe to go to the Min family to study and marry the Min family's woman."
Chen Zhen nodded with satisfaction and looked at Baimu again: "You are no longer a servant of the Shen family. You can send Aunt Chen to Zhoushan and go there at will..."
