Chapter 3353 What should he do?
At this moment, King Han Zhu Chengjun heard that someone had returned from Bailong City, and thinking it was his father and mother, he ran out happily. As soon as he reached the gate, he saw He Yi's face suddenly change, and he immediately stopped.
Neither Chen Zixiao nor He Yi noticed him.
Chen Zixiao walked back to He Yi and said, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
He Yi's expression was solemn, even a little ugly. He said, "Then, did His Majesty the Emperor say when he would be back?"
Chen Zixiao thought about it and shook his head: "No."
“…”
"Your Majesty only asked me to come back to help you organize the troops and prepare for the imperial return to the capital."
At this time, he also seemed to sense something was wrong. After all, he had been a little hesitant since hearing Zhu Feng's order in the Lotus Heart Hall. So he asked, "Is there any problem?"
He Yi let out a deep breath.
He said, "You're coming back like this. His Majesty won't be able to do this with only this few people around. You should quickly gather some men and horses and go there."
Chen Zixiao felt that he was making a fuss over nothing. After all, he had just said that he would send people over when he came back. However, he nodded and said, "I know. I will send people to Bailong City immediately."
He Yi said: "No, not to Bailong City."
"Um?"
Chen Zixiao asked doubtfully, "Where are we going?"
He Yi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "We are going to Yumen Pass."
“…!?”
Chen Zixiao was stunned for a moment, then he thought about it carefully and suddenly took a breath.
No wonder he had been feeling vaguely worried ever since he heard Zhu Feng's order at the Lianxin Hall, but he couldn't tell what it was. Only after hearing what He Yi said did he understand what he was worried about.
He said hoarsely, "You mean, the emperor will take this opportunity to go to Yumen Pass?"
He Yi said, "If I'm not mistaken, when you left Bailong City, the Parthian envoy should have been preparing to return, but hadn't set off yet, right?"
"yes."
"That's it. The Emperor asked you to return, but he will definitely take the remaining troops and continue to the northwest under the pretext of sending the Parthian envoy."
“…”
"Think about it, besides Yumen Pass, where else can we go?"
Chen Zixiao was suddenly in a state of confusion. Thinking of the things that the old uncle had left behind before his death, he originally thought that the emperor had accepted everything in front of him and gave up the truth, but he did not expect that he remained calm and had been thinking about this side.
Chen Zixiao's hands and feet felt cold, and he said hurriedly, "I'll send someone over right away."
He Yi turned around and walked towards the stable, saying, "I'll go over first."
Chen Zixiao asked, "Are you going too?"
He Yi said, "Even if we pack up and set off immediately, we'll be at least three days behind them, so a large group of people won't be able to catch up. We can only ensure that nothing unexpected happens to the emperor after he reaches Yumen Pass. I'll go alone, so I can run faster, and maybe I can—"
Having said that, he paused.
In fact, he didn't know what else he could have done in the past.
But, he couldn't not go.
Chen Zixiao immediately understood and said, "Then I'll have them prepare a strong horse, and you can set off immediately. I'll also quickly gather some people and horses, so that we can be prepared in case anything goes wrong."
After the two of them had discussed it, they went about their business.
After a while, Heyi rode out of Handongwei on a tall horse.
King Zhu Chengjun of Han, who was huddled behind the corridor, witnessed and heard all of this and was stunned with astonishment.
In fact, many of the words spoken by He Yi and Chen Zixiao were ambiguous, and he did not understand what the two were saying. But one thing was very clear, that is, his father had only brought a small number of troops to Yumen Pass, and it made Lord He Yi and Chen Zixiao so worried, so there must be danger there!
Thinking of this, he ran back in a hurry.
Wen Bieyu, on the other hand, was still sitting in bed. He had been recuperating these days, and although his external injuries had almost fully healed, the doctor reminded him that it would take a hundred days for his broken bones to heal, and ordered him to stay in his room to recuperate. Although he obeyed, he was still a restless teenager, and his restlessness was getting to him. The imperial concubine had even sent Wen Wuyu over to prevent him from causing trouble again. With nothing better to do, Wen Bieyu chatted with his uncle.
Wen Wu Yu has been very quiet recently since he went crazy in front of the old uncle.
Just then, they saw Zhu Chengjun running past the door like a gust of wind.
Wen Bieyu hurriedly called out, "Your Highness?"
Zhu Chengjun stopped and walked into his room. Wen Bieyu noticed that something was wrong with his expression and whispered, "Your Highness, didn't you go to greet the Emperor? Why are you back again?"
Zhu Chengjun said: "Father has not returned."
"You haven't come back yet? Oh, Your Majesty, do you have something else to do?"
"no."
"Um?"
"Father, he seems to be going somewhere else, but it seems to be dangerous."
"What?"
When Wen Bieyu heard this, he was also startled and hurriedly got up from the bed: "What's going on?"
Zhu Chengjun told him everything he had just seen and heard at the gate, and then said, "It must be something serious. I just saw He Yi riding away alone. He never dared to do that. Something serious must have happened to the emperor."
Hearing him say this, Wen Bieyu also became nervous.
But he was several years older, and more composed than Zhu Chengjun. After a moment's thought, he said, "Even if that's the case, Lord Heyi and Lord Chen will definitely protect the emperor. That's their responsibility. Besides, the emperor is so powerful that he even destroyed White Tiger City. What else in the northwest can be a problem for him? Your Highness doesn't have to worry."
Zhu Chengjun nodded, but his brow was still furrowed. He said, "But I'm still worried. I want to go and take a look."
Wen Bieyu was startled: "Your Highness, please don't do anything rash. Before—"
Before, he was beaten up because of Zhu Chengjun's wandering around; after that, because Zhu Chengjun secretly left Handongwei, he followed him, and as a result, the two of them were trapped in the enemy camp and almost died at the hands of Arslan.
If Zhu Chengjun runs away again, he really won't have the life to compensate him.
Zhu Chengjun said, "Brother Bie Yu, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, if you don't tell me and I don't tell anyone, no one will know. I must go. If my father is in danger, how can I, as a prince, stay out of it? That would be too unfilial!"
Wen Bieyu tried to persuade him for a long time, but Zhu Chengjun refused to listen and was determined to follow him to Yumen Pass.
Wen Bieyu had no other choice, and he couldn't just let it go. He could only sigh and say, "Since that's the case, then—I'll just go for it. I'll go with His Highness."
Zhu Chengjun nodded happily.
He suddenly pointed at Wen Wuyu who had been watching and listening to them: "What about him?"
