Chen Kaizhi looked very careful in front of the Empress Dowager.

Because he really can't guess the queen mother, the more he can't guess, the more jealous he is.

couldn't figure out the Empress Dowager's thoughts, the more uneasy Chen Kaizhi's heart became, after all, she was not an ordinary person, she was a person who could make him lose his head with an easy sentence.

She seems to care about nothing on the surface, but she knows everything, this kind of person is actually very terrifying.

Although he was jealous in his heart, Chen Kaizhi was really hungry, so he devoured a few pastries.

Perhaps because he was eating louder, the Empress Dowager suddenly said, "The food is so delicious." ”

Chen Kai was stunned, he couldn't spit out the pastry in his mouth, and it was difficult to swallow, he was choked for a while, and his face instantly turned red because of discomfort.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but smile, and the next moment, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she said lightly to King Zhao beside her: "You go and order, set off in an hour, and then Chen Kaizhi will beat the horse to escort him, so that he can fill his stomach here and rest enough." ”

Chen Zhen bowed down and said, "Yes, Erchen knows." ”

He saluted and hurried away.

Chen Kaizhi finally swallowed the food stuck in his throat, but he was still uncomfortable, and he could only keep swallowing saliva to relieve the discomfort at the moment.

The Empress Dowager looked very interested, and still looked at him steadily, but he was embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "The minister looks at ......"

The Empress Dowager waved her hand with a smile and said, "It's okay, eat slowly, and then leave when you're full." Gao Jin, come and serve him a pair of tea, you sit down. ”

An old eunuch next to him poured tea for Chen Kaizhi with a smile, Chen Kaizhi took a sip of tea, and it was really much more comfortable, the Empress Dowager's eyes turned, her face was full of insight and shrewdness, her eyes fell on Chen Kaizhi, and she slowly spoke.

"I heard that the mourning family admires you a lot?"

I know this very clearly, this queen mother is really not simple.

Chen Kaizhi thought in his heart for a while, and said busily: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is just diligent." ”

The Empress Dowager bowed her head to Chen Kaizhi: "You know how to do things at a young age, which is very rare, you see that there are so many children and grandchildren of the mourning family, and there are not many things to do, but the mind is more active than others." ”

Chen Kaizhi is not easy to pick up at this moment, Nima's, the Queen Mother belongs to the type of seeing the light and dying, but whatever she says, it really makes people don't know how to continue, and it seems that no matter how she answers, it is not right.

Seeing that Chen Kaizhi was silent, the Empress Dowager was not annoyed, but continued to ask with a smile: "Mu Shi's appreciation of you must mean that you have your ability, so what do you think of King Zhao?" ”

The Empress Dowager asked, if Chen Kaizhi did not answer, it would be very disrespectful, so Chen Kaizhi had to reply stubbornly: "His Royal Highness King Zhao is a virtuous king, and he is praised by Yunei, and his subordinates admire him very much." ”

The Empress Dowager was still smiling, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Chen Kaizhi very seriously: "So what do you think, what do you think of the mourning family?" ”

"This ...... Your Majesty will not know. Chen Kaizhi felt uncomfortable in his heart, this is an awkward chat, no matter how he talks, he will leave a bad impression if he says a wrong word, how can he answer this?

But he still couldn't help but say: "It's just that when the subordinates saw Niangniang calling His Royal Highness King Zhao, he felt that Niangniang didn't seem to be very close to His Royal Highness King Zhao. Please forgive me. ”

Chen Kaizhi is not ignorant, he is not talking casually.

His mission this time was to welcome the queen mother on behalf of him, and the purpose of the escort was obviously to test the queen mother's mind, and it was because of this that he dared to say this.

After speaking, Chen Kaizhi carefully observed the empress dowager's expression, wanting to see some clues from her expression.

However, the Empress Dowager just smiled faintly and said, "What you said is not right." ”

Chen Kaizhi hurriedly put away his gaze and said solemnly: "Please also ask the mother to show me." ”

The Empress Dowager put away the smile on her face, suddenly straightened her face, and her tone was particularly cold and hard: "You used the intimacy of the people's family to speculate about the heavenly family, the mothers of the world, of course, they all love their children, but the family is ......."

Her eyes were cloudy, flashed slightly, and continued: "If the mourning family is not miscalculated, there are thirty-three surviving children and grandchildren now, if the mourning family can live for a few more years, and the grandchildren will have grandchildren again, I am afraid that by then, there will be hundreds of children and grandchildren here, you see, so many children and grandchildren, there are many mourning families, and they can't even remember their names. So you're right, mourning... He is not very close to King Zhao, and many children and grandchildren are not very close. ”

She suddenly became melancholy, depressed, hanging her head, silent.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but think about it, this empress dowager seems to be right, her children and grandchildren are indeed so many that she can't remember them clearly, how can they be close to each of them?

This topic is obviously not a good topic, so Chen Kaizhi didn't dare to say it anymore, just drank tea to hide his embarrassment.

After a while, Chen Zhenjing finally went and returned, and said excitedly: "Queen Mother, everything is ready." ”

Chen Kaizhi thought in his heart, it seems that this empress dowager is not like a rescuer brought by King Zhao, but ...... What is the reason why the Empress Dowager suddenly came to Luoyang this time?

She knows everything about Luoyang, but she has endured loneliness for more than ten years and has been living in Naganquan Palace, which is really hard to guess!

For if a person loves to be quiet, it is impossible for him to be so concerned and aware of the movements that are hundreds of miles away; And if a person doesn't love to be quiet, how can he go to the Ganquan Palace, far away from the center of power, if it's a year or two, it's fine, but more than ten years, how can she endure it?

It's just a matter of heaven, and it's not something that Chen Kaizhi can guess, his purpose this time is just to send the Empress Dowager to Beijing safely. The rest, he can't control so much, if the Queen Mother targets the Queen Mother in the future, he will find a way, and now he still won't be tempted, lest he do too much wrong and make the Queen Mother disgusted with him, then it will really outweigh the losses.

At this time, the Empress Dowager's eyes glanced at King Zhao, and then she bowed her head and said lightly: "In this case, get ready to go." ”

…………

The team began to set off again, and Chen Kaizhi went to Wengcheng first, and then ordered the warrior battalion to set off in formation.

And a group of cavalry from the front army has also set off first, and then the warrior battalion and the queen mother's phoenix drive converge.

The officials of Mianchi County went to the gate of the city to see them off, and under the eyes of many pairs of respectful eyes, the old long procession moved slowly and headed east.

This way, for Chen Kaizhi, is actually just to enjoy the scenery along the way, but this scenery is okay when he comes, but it seems a little lackluster when he returns, Chen Kaizhi is not much interested in this, he only wants to send the Empress Dowager to Luoyang as soon as possible, and this errand is completed successfully.

It's just that when they walked more than ten miles ahead, they suddenly saw a fast horse galloping in their direction, Chen Kaizhi only thought that the cavalry guards of the front team had rested, and he was waiting for the men and horses of the rear team, so he sent someone back to report.

But when the cavalry got closer, Chen Kai's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly felt bad.

Because this person was covered in blood, the blood red became more and more obvious, and the war horse under the seat even foamed at the mouth, and the whole person was shaky, as if he was about to fall off the horse.

Chen Kaizhi was taken aback, and Qingjun's eyebrows wrinkled involuntarily, how could someone come be injured?

What's going on, this is Chang'an's cavalry guard, there are hundreds of people and horses, as the vanguard front team, how can it look like it has been attacked?

The point is, who would dare to attack the Praetorian Guards? Moreover, or hundreds of cavalry?

Chen Kaizhi did not hesitate, he had already ridden his white unicorn and rushed towards the man, the two horses intersected, this person seemed to finally can't bear it, the whole person is about to fall off the horse, Chen Kaizhi's eyes are fast, and he staggered to hold him, making him stunned, and finally slowly fell to the ground.

As soon as he supported him with his hand, Chen Kaizhi's body was stained with blood, but at this moment, Chen Kaizhi couldn't care so much, but asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" ”

"Something's wrong...... Attacked, the forward horse team was attacked......" The knight's eyes widened in fear, his voice was weak because of his injuries, and his words stammered: "We were ordered to go first, and when we arrived at the official camp ditch, suddenly a group of soldiers and horses rushed out, and they were all vigorous men, numbering about two thousand, and surrounded us on the left and right, and we were ...... for a while. There was no defense for a while, and when the captain saw this, he fought to the death, and ordered his subordinates to come to deliver a message, and he was humble...... Ahem...... Humble ......"

Before he finished speaking, the other party had already fainted, and Chen Kaizhi realized that there was a feather arrow stuck in his back ribs, and he was covered with wounds, and this feather arrow was inserted very deeply, which was obviously fatal.

Chen Kaizhi was shocked and hurriedly lifted him onto his horse, but when he went back, he immediately shouted: "Please follow the doctor, everyone stop moving forward." ”

At this time, Chen Kaizhi's heart was extremely surprised, and he even faintly felt a sense of uneasiness coming.

It was so sudden, how could there be an enemy army at this time?

This is the hinterland of Da Chen, and there will never be Beiyan people or Hu people.

He dismounted, thinking in a mess that there were quite a few of these people, and judging from the knight's description, it was clear that they were an elite army, and by no means an ordinary man, an elite soldier........

Chen Kaizhi's heart felt more and more strange, more than 2,000 elite soldiers set up an ambush here, obviously with a purpose, and their eyes, no need to guess, fools know that they are coming for the Empress Dowager.
