Chapter 1733 Next Plan
The next morning, Magistrate Chen and officials from Hecheng came to see him off.
Even now, County Magistrate Chen is still terrified.
But he didn't understand why His Highness the King of Han didn't tell the story about Helan Chushi's murder, but instead said that Helan Chushi died in battle to save him.
It's just that County Magistrate Chen didn't dare to ask more about it.
He only hopes that he can serve as the magistrate of Hecheng County until his retirement, and other things are not what he should consider.
After saying goodbye to the officials in Hecheng, Zhao Chen got into the carriage with Wu Xu.
Qin Sanpao was still driving the carriage, and he was accompanied by hundreds of cavalry.
These people will follow them to the battlefields of Baekje and Silla.
The official road is an important passage connecting the north and the south, and it is long and long.
It is the main channel for business and cultural exchanges.
Zhao Chen sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked out, as if he was in a picture of ice and snow.
You can also feel the tranquility and magnificence of this land.
The trees on both sides of the official road have long since withered, leaving only bare branches.
Snowflakes fell on the branches and accumulated into a thick layer, like nature's white blanket.
The cold wind blew, and the snowflakes danced in the air, like elves.
In this world of ice and snow, trees have different shapes, some tall and straight, some curved, showing a unique charm.
Near the official road, the flowers and plants have withered and withered.
However, in this cold season, there is a different kind of vitality.
The ice sparkles in the sunlight, like countless pearls embedded in the ice and snow.
The river has long been frozen into ice. It is no longer as rough as before, but more peaceful and beautiful.
The mountains are covered with snow, like a fairyland wrapped in silver, which makes people intoxicated.
Not long after the team marched, they saw many villages of different sizes scattered around the official road.
Although these villages are small, each has a rich history and culture.
Most of the people make a living by farming and hunting. They work hard on this land and work hard to survive.
The village in winter has a unique charm. The houses are covered with snow, like white elves.
The smoke from the cooking pots curls up, contrasting with the sky, forming a beautiful picture.
Apart from villages, there are also some temples and monuments scattered around the official road.
These temples and monuments bear witness to the vicissitudes of history and changes over time.
Covered in snow, these monuments look even more solemn and solemn.
Some remaining murals and carvings tell ancient stories and legends, and can also make people feel the profound historical and cultural heritage contained in this land.
On this icy and snowy official road, you can occasionally see some caravans and travelers.
They braved the severe cold weather and traveled through this world of ice and snow.
"Hey, you asked people to spread the news that Helan Chushi saved you from death. Is this to confuse the people behind him?"
"Let them think that Helan Chushi was on good terms with you, so he died saving you."
"In this way, the people behind him may think that you already know something and become more nervous." In the carriage, Wu Xu suddenly said something that made Zhao Chen obviously stunned.
Qin Sanpao couldn't figure out the reason, but Wu Xu guessed it easily.
"How did you know?" Zhao Chen looked at Wu Xu in surprise.
Wu Xu pointed at his brain proudly.
Obviously he's showing off his intelligence.
She came up with it herself.
"Helan Chushi won't let go even after he was bitten to death. There is nothing I can do about it."
"I just have to make the people behind Helan Chushi think that Helan Chushi has a good relationship with me, or that Helan Chushi is very likely to leak some of their information to me." Zhao Chen said slowly.
But then he shook his head: "Actually, this effect is not very big. People who can always plan behind the scenes will not be so easily fooled."
"Let Helan Chushi die on the battlefield to suppress the bandits. In fact, he did not want his family to be implicated. Otherwise, he would not be able to leave if the three tribes were wiped out." ??
Wu Xu felt that Zhao Chen was somewhat kind, but then he thought about it, if Zhao Chen killed people without any scruples, would he still be so enamored with him?
People are multi-faceted, and it is inevitable that there will be times of indecision.
"Actually, I think it's good of you to do this. The mistake was made by Helan Chushi. If we really want to pursue the case, all the soldiers in the Cangzhou Army will die." Wu Xu nodded and continued.
"Yes, if we really start killing, how long will it take to finish them off?"
"Now let's see if the person behind Helan Chushi will react!" Zhao Chen looked into the distance with deep eyes.
…
Half a month later.
"What a waste!"
"Bang——" In the secret room, the old man slapped the table in front of him with a hard face, unable to hide the look of anger on his face.
He thought that this plan was perfect, but he didn't expect that after so little time, everything was different from what he thought.
Helan Chushi is dead!
Or did he die trying to save Zhao Chen?
The old man couldn't believe his ears.
"Is this your plan?!" The old man slapped the table and stared at the young man in black robes, full of anger burning in his heart.
black robe green
Nian couldn't help but be shocked. He lowered his head and replied, "Yes. This plan should have succeeded, but something unexpected happened obviously."
"Accident?" The old man sneered, "Are you talking about the assassination plan? Or are you saying there is a traitor within our ranks?"
The young man in black robe was silent for a moment, and then said: "Both. Our assassination plan was discovered by the enemy in advance, and someone inside may have leaked the secret."
The old man said angrily: "Where is Helan Chushi? Is he a traitor? He saved that Zhao Chen, will he tell Zhao Chen about us?"
The young man in black robe frowned and said, "Probably not. Helan Chushi's family members are all in our hands. He knows that if he dares to say a word about us, none of his family members will survive."
"The so-called Helan Chushi saved Zhao Chen is probably the news that Zhao Chen released himself, just to see our reaction."
The old man felt that what the young man in black robe said made sense.
If Helan Chushi dared to expose them, he would have told the emperor long ago. Does he still need to wait until now?
However, Helan Chushi died and the plan to intercept Zhao Chen failed, almost exposing them.
This matter must be handled properly.
The old man looked at the young man in black robe coldly: "What are you going to do next?"
The young man in black robe was silent for a moment before slowly answering: "First of all, this time the Cangzhou army intercepted and killed Zhao Chen, and the Japanese assassins sneaked into the Tang Dynasty, we have to deal with the tail first, and we must not let anyone find our heads."
"Secondly, we need to conduct an in-depth analysis of the assassination plan and find out the problems so that we can improve our next plan."
The old man nodded slowly: "Very good."
"I hope you can take action as soon as possible. Next time, I don't want to see something like this happen again."
The young man in black robe took a deep breath: "Don't worry, I will do my best."
