Chapter 1,029 Letter From Queen Changsun
Li Yuanji's sudden voice made Lao Li freeze on the spot.
Old Li Tou had already given up the idea of letting Li Yuanji follow him back to Chang'an.
Unexpectedly now...
"Are you telling the truth?" Old Li turned his head and looked at Li Yuanji.
"Really." Li Yuanji nodded, then looked at Zhao Chen and bowed to him.
"Zhao Chen, thank you very much for today. If it weren't for you, all of us would have died here."
Li Yuanji knew in his heart that Zhao Chen and the others only had to take a slow breath.
He would also be decapitated by Wei Ting.
These people around him will definitely not survive.
Zhao Chen doesn't care about this, he just wants to return to Chang'an as soon as possible. ??
It's hard to tell in the past few days, Zhao Chen has always felt a little uneasy in his heart.
It seems like something big happened.
"It's okay. Get some rest early. If you go back to Chang'an, you will have to rush tomorrow." Zhao Chen nodded and continued to rest against the tree trunk.
Li Yuanji seemed to want to say something to Zhao Chen.
Seeing that Zhao Chen was not very interested, there was nothing more to say.
The emperor said something to Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng left, and the emperor walked to Zhao Chen and patted him gently on the shoulder.
"Boy Zhao." The emperor called Zhao Chen.
Zhao Chen opened his eyes, looked at the emperor impatiently, and said, "What are you doing?"
Although Zhao Chen's attitude towards him was not very good, the emperor had long been used to it.
He just smiled and patted Zhao Chen on the shoulder, "It was only now that Yuanji changed his mind and said he wanted to go back, but it was thanks to you."
"Otherwise, he would never think of saying that he wanted to go with me, Chang An."
Zhao Chen glanced at Lao Litou and closed his eyes again.
He didn't even bother to talk to Lao Litou about this.
Whether Li Yuanji returns to Chang'an or not has nothing to do with him at all.
"Zhao..."
"Old Li Tou, Chang'an is about two thousand miles away from here. Even if we run a hundred miles a day, it will take almost twenty days."
"If you can't keep up by then, I'll tell you the ugly things first and won't wait for you." Zhao Chen said with his eyes closed.
Running a hundred miles every day is also an extremely boring thing for young people.
What's more, there is Wei Zheng, a senior guy.
Zhao Chen will definitely not wait for them to come together.
The emperor originally didn't talk to Zhao Chen about this matter, but who knew that Zhao Chen wouldn't let him speak at all.
After asking for trouble, he left a little dejectedly.
When Li Ke led the soldiers from Zhechong Mansion in Dingzhou, it was already early morning on the second day.
Li Ke also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Wei Ting and others had been killed.
On the way, he was still worried about what would happen to the emperor and the others if he couldn't catch up, and what he would do.
The governor of Dingzhou and the emperor exchanged greetings.
Li Ke handed over a letter.
"Sir, this is a letter sent to you by someone from the Queen Mother." Li Ke took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhao Chen.
"My mother has nothing to say to you. I asked the person who sent the message, and there was no one even from my father." Li Ke said to Zhao Chen with an envious look on his face.
Li Ke was a little confused.
Empress Changsun was too unusual for Zhao Chen.
Someone was specially sent to deliver a letter to Zhao Chen, but even the emperor did not receive the letter.
No wonder, there are rumors outside that Zhao Chen is the son of the emperor and empress.
Based on this preference, Li Ke also felt that this was very possible.
"It's just a letter, what more?" Zhao Chen smiled and shook his head.
I opened the envelope and took a look at the letter paper. I saw a sentence written on it: Chang'an has changed, please report back soon.
"Hey, sir, are you done reading now?" Li Ke saw that Zhao Chen only glanced at it and then put the letter into his arms.
I can't help but be a little curious.
"Go back to Chang'an."
Zhao Chen only said this, then got up and rode on the sweaty back that Li Ke helped him bring from Dingzhou.
"Hey, just come back as you said. What happened?" Li Ke shouted from behind.
"Cheng Er, you stay with His Majesty and wait for them to return to Chang'an together. Qin San, you follow me." Zhao Chen reined in the reins and said to the students in the academy.
Cheng Chumo still had a bandage on his arm.
Seeing Zhao Chen say this, he nodded subconsciously.
Qin Huaiyu, who had been bragging to everyone in the academy just now, immediately got on his horse.
Several others, including Chang Sun Chong, also followed.
"Li Ke, what happened?" The emperor was a little surprised when he saw that Zhao Chen came running on horseback without even greeting him.
If there was no emergency, Zhao Chen would never be like this.
Could it be Li Ruoshuang...
"My father and I don't know, but my mother sent someone to bring a letter to my husband. After he read it, he left directly." Li Ke shook his head and explained.
"What letter?" The emperor frowned.
Li Ke continued to shake his head.
If he knew what the letter was, he wouldn't know why Zhao Chen was so anxious.
Looking at the official road where the smoke and dust gradually dissipated in front of him, the emperor felt a little worried.
The emperor knew that this letter was probably only about Zhao Chen himself, otherwise he would not have left in such a hurry.
But what happened in Chang'an?
"Pack up and let's set off as soon as possible." The emperor and everyone ordered.
The emperor was a little worried.
He was not worried about Zhao Chen, but worried that what Queen Changsun said in the letter would make Zhao Chen go berserk.
He had to go back quickly, otherwise something big might happen.
…
"Zhao Da, what happened?" Qin Huaiyu and Zhao Chen asked on the way.
It was already noon and they had been traveling all morning.
Even horses need a break.
Zhao Chen shook his head, he didn't know what happened.
But since it was Empress Changsun who sent her such a letter, something important must have happened.
Zhao Chen knew very well that what Queen Changsun said must have nothing to do with Li Ruoshuang.
Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a saying that something has changed in Chang'an and he will come back soon.
Chang'an only has Zhao Chen's own property.
The changes in Chang'an mentioned by Queen Changsun are probably related to these.
Moreover, it was Empress Changsun who told her about this.
It is estimated that something happened to Huang Zhi and the others.
Otherwise it wouldn’t be possible…
Only now did Zhao Chen understand why he was always feeling a little uneasy these days.
He thought Wei Ting would lead people to hunt them down, so he kept worrying.
But I didn't expect...
"Qin San, last time Uncle Qin wrote to you, he said that he and Uncle Cheng were leading an army on an expedition, right?" Zhao Chen and Qin Huaiyu asked.
"That's right." Qin Huaiyu nodded.
When he received the letter from his father, he even showed off to Zhao Chen.
This is the first time in more than ten years that his father Qin Qiong has led troops on an expedition.
"Li Tai is afraid that he will start a fight with Huang Zhi and the others in Chang'an." Zhao Chen took out the letter and handed it to Qin Huaiyu.
"There are changes in Chang'an, come back quickly!" Qin Huaiyu's voice was a little sharp.
"If Huang Zhi and the others were fine, it would never have been the queen who sent us this letter."
"Although this letter only has a few words, it can explain a lot of things."
"Something happened to Huang Zhi and the others, so there is no way to send me a message."
"And the letter was sent by the Queen, and the matter is 100% related to Li Tai."
"As for Huang Zhi and the others, their lives are probably at risk."
"Otherwise, if Huang Zhi and the others are still alive, they can wait until I go back to deal with it."
"This letter..." Zhao Chen said this and stopped talking.
