Chapter 63 Undercurrent(1/2)
"Sir, do you think King Hongnong is not dead?"
Sitting in the study of the office, Ding Chen kept blinking his eyes with an innocent expression on his face.
And opposite him was Jia Xu.
Yesterday I met the mysterious woman on my way home, which made Ding Chen sleepless all night.
As soon as the sky was dawn, he hurried to the office and ordered someone to find Jia Xu.
Jia Xu was originally impatient, but after hearing Ding Chen's question, he immediately changed his face and showed contempt.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, you finally figured it out?"
"ah?"
Jia Xu sneered: "I'm still thinking about when will you figure it out.
Ding Huben, you disappointed me very much... You haven't noticed so many obvious flaws, and you have only figured them out now."
"You knew it long ago?"
"I guessed it when you told me that King Hongnong asked you to take care of Concubine Tang that day!"
"What?"
Ding Chen stood up and looked at Jia Xu.
"You have guessed it long ago, but you haven't told me?"
"Tell you what to do? Kill King Hongnong or you?"
Jia Xu looked disgusted and shook his head and sighed, expressing his disappointment with Ding Chen.
"Why did you entrust your care for Tang Ji, the dignified King Hongnong?
You really think that was done unintentionally? Although he was in Nangong, he was not very free, but he should be very safe with the protection of Nangong Guards. But he entrusted you with what it means? He had guessed that something would happen."
"But why entrusted me?"
Ding Chen said with a confused look on his face: "I was just an unknown soldier at that time."
"Because you're stupid!"
"What?"
"Cao Cao fled Luoyang. You had the opportunity to escape, but for your sister and son, you were willing to tie him up.
You said that King Hongnong was in the palace and really didn’t know what happened outside? Who can become an emperor?
You are such a fool who values friendship and happens to be the guard Nangong, so why don’t you come to your door by yourself?
Of course, King Hongnong also means gambling, because he knew that if he continued to stay in the palace, he would die sooner or later... So, he entrusted Tang Ji to you, so he would relieve his worries, and then take the opportunity to pretend to die and escape.
Unfortunately, everyone was blinded by the corpse at that time, but they had never found it. The corpse was obviously much bigger than King Hongnong. How could it be King Hongnong's corpse? He was betting, and even Concubine Tang was hidden... But in the end, it seemed that he was not wrong. You idiot jumped out by yourself and fulfilled his last step."
"You, you, you..."
Ding Chen pointed at Jia Xu and his whole body was so angry that he trembled.
"Jia Wenhe, I respect you so much, why don't you tell me?"
"I've said it, is it useful to tell you?
When you entered Chang'an before, I reminded you that the situation was complicated and you left as soon as possible, but you jumped out by yourself...
And before, how did I know you would be so stupid?"
Jia Xu roared sharply, scaring Ding Chen so much that he retracted himself to the bed.
"But, you always have to remind me."
"If you notice this, you will also notice it; if you don't realize it, you can at least make King Hongnong safer."
When Jia Xu said this, he shook his head and sighed gently.
"It's a pity that King Hongnong, the Empress Dowager and the General have paid a lot for him, and he has gone to the throne of Wuxin.
If he could use his talents in the court, he would not have been deposed by Dong Zhuo, and there would not be any rebellion today. However, everyone has their own ideas. Perhaps in the eyes of King Hongnong, the country would not be very attractive to him."
After saying that, he smiled slightly.
"If Ziyang doesn't believe it, just watch the changes.
I believe that it won’t take long to hear that Concubine Tang will be killed.”
Ding Chen's cheeks twitched and he fell to the bed.
"If this is true, it's good!"
Liu Bian's appearance appeared in his mind again.
That night, his eyes were bright, and when he was talking to Ding Chen, he showed a faint look of praying.
You are such a bastard!
Ding Chen suddenly laughed...
I can only say that Liu Bian's acting skills are so good that Ding Chen is kept in the dark.
He was unintentional to the throne and did not like this intrigue life. After Empress Dowager He was poisoned, the only thing he cared about in this world was Concubine Tang. What a Han emperor who didn't love the country and the beauty. This time, I believe you can get what you want.
Ding Chen had no intention of blaming him, but instead wanted to give Liu Bian a deep blessing.
"But I'm curious, how did you find out?"
Jia Xu's voice interrupted Ding Chen's thoughts.
He looked at Jia Xu in confusion, and then heard Jia Xu say, "You are so stupid, you can actually see the clues. It's really strange."
"Jia Wenhe, I finally understand why you are with the light!
If you don't keep a low profile, you will die sooner or later without a place to die..."
Jia Xu laughed loudly when he heard this.
Ding Chen said: "When I was in Mianchi, I received an arrow book, reminding me to keep my original promises.
And yesterday, I met the woman who was shooting the archery book on the road again... This made me realize that King Hongnong might be alive."
When Jia Xu heard this, his face changed slightly.
"Woman? What does it look like?"
"How did I know... she was covered in a veil and I couldn't see her appearance clearly."
"That means, she is still in Chang'an?"
"It should be."
Jia Xu wandered in the house, pondering and silent.
After a while, he suddenly walked to the side of the bed and whispered: "Ziyang, then you have to be careful."
"What's the meaning?"
Jia Xu did not answer, but dipped his finger in water and wrote the word "jade seal" on the table.
"Woman, and I have reminded you with the book of arrows, which shows that King Hongnong trusts her very much.
You just said that when you were still in Mianchi, she reminded you to fulfill your promise. On the day you entered Chang'an, Your Majesty suddenly told the Prime Minister that he would give him a marriage to Li Jue... This was not a temporary decision by the emperor, but a premeditation. And this woman could warn you in advance, indicating that she was with the emperor, or Wang Yun. That was a very dangerous place.
Logically speaking, Concubine Tang has left, so she doesn't have to come back.
And she came back... It means there is something unfinished about her... Ziyang, think about it, what will happen?"
"After leaving alone, she was a weak woman and was inevitably bullied.
I also asked Ding Jun to try to send her to Kuaiji and to her father... If this is true, I will definitely have a surprise with you."
That night, the words said by King Hongnong and Ding Chen echoed in Ding Chen's mind.
After a while, he smiled bitterly.
After looking at the handwriting on the table, Ding Chen reached out to erase it.
"I have no intention of being rich and honorable, so why should I do this?"
"Maybe, what he meant was to entrust the Han Dynasty to you."
"I?"
When Ding Chen heard this, he immediately laughed.
He wanted to say to Jia Xu, "You are talking nonsense," but he slipped to his mouth but couldn't say it, and the laughter became smaller and smaller.
"I'm tired!"
He said, and stood up.
"I feel uncomfortable, I want to go home and rest."
When Jia Xu heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Ding Ziyang, have you been in good health since you took over as the General of the Hu Ben?"
To be continued...
