So I play chess

Chapter 120 Chase

Naturally, there is no need to worry about Wen Liang. Judging from Cheng Wangshu's behavior just now, he does not seem to be hostile. Besides, Wen Liang is good at protecting himself, so there should be no mistakes in going there this time.

Wen Gu didn't go back to the house, and analyzed it with Zhixia in the courtyard: "The situation in Southern Chu is generally clear now. Tang Xianyao and Tang Mingyi are divided into courts, and there are some people who are at odds with each other, or they don't help each other at all. Now that Cheng Wangshu has participated in Xu Zhongyan's matter, it means that he has already made a decision between the two princes."

Zhixia nodded, but also had some irrelevant doubts: "Cheng Wangshu is not a soldier, he is just a swordsman, is he also involved in these?"

Wen Gu said: "Cheng Wangshu himself may not participate, the right side behind him is the key."

Only then did Zhixia understand: "That's it. When a swordsman enters the court, he should indeed have someone to rely on."

What Zhi Xia said was logical, but Wen Gu was quite surprised: "When did you start talking like this?"

Zhixia, who just spoke with a somewhat sophisticated tone, became hesitant when she saw the eldest lady asking this question: "When I first came to Tongcheng, the eldest lady told me to think about these things too, so when I am free, I will Ask Zhou Tong and the others, and read some books that the eldest lady has read. Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Wen Gu smiled and said: "That's what you want. You are right, and there is nothing wrong with what you say. Cheng Wangshu is doing things for the people he depends on, and the position of the right minister of Southern Chu is his position, but you think, this right What exactly is the purpose of asking him to come to Tongcheng?"

Knowing Xia got the affirmation of the eldest lady, the hesitation just now disappeared, I just thought it was strange for the eldest lady to ask: "Didn't you want to protect Xu Zhongyan thoroughly?"

"That's where the problem lies." Wen Gu pondered for a moment, and then said, "What we knew before, contrary to Li Xun, Tang Mingyi came to kill Xu Zhongyan, while Tang Xianyao came to protect him. Then Cheng Wangshu escorted him Xu Zhongyan came to Tongcheng, and it seems that his position is the same as that of Tang Xianyao."

Zhixia nodded, the reason is obvious.

Wen Gu then said: "In this case, why didn't Tang Xianyao come to Tongcheng to wait for Xu Zhongyan? Why not arrange him in Lianzhou?"

"That's right!" As soon as the eldest lady said, Zhixia figured out the logic, but then came up with a possibility, "Maybe Li Xun and Xu Zhongyan are both in Tongcheng, so he made arrangements together?"

Wen Gu shook his head slightly, and said, "It was possible to arrange this way at the beginning, but now, Tang Xianyao has lost his way in Li Xun's matter, if they are really on the same road, he should meet Cheng on the way back to Lianzhou." Wang Shuhui will bring Xu Zhongyan back to Lianzhou, or place him in the counties under his control."

Zhixia thought for a while, and said, "Maybe he doesn't know where Xu Zhongyan is?"

"This is the strange thing about it. If Xu Zhongyan traveled alone and Tang Xianyao didn't know about it, there is still such a possibility. But Cheng Wangshu also got involved, so they can only choose one of the two sides to go. If Cheng Wangshu Same as Tang Xianyao's plan, the road is quite difficult and dangerous, he will not risk Xu Zhongyan's death on the way, and let him come to Tongcheng." Wen Gu said logically.

Hearing what the eldest lady said, Zhixia had new doubts: "Cheng Wangshu is well-known, so is it risky for Xu Zhongyan to be with him?"

Wen Gu was still thinking about it, and blurted out: "This time, I didn't hear from the city gate official that he was injured, and besides, three people entered the city together, but last time..."

Having said that, Wen Gu suddenly realized that he had slipped his words, stopped abruptly, and hurriedly raised his head to look around.Zhixia didn't know what was wrong with the eldest lady, so she also raised her head.

The two looked at it for a while, and there was nothing unusual around them.Zhixia asked suspiciously, "Miss?"

Only then did Wen Gu look away, and quickly asked her, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhixia was asked such a question without thinking, but she still held her breath, feeling it for a while, and then said: "I'm fine, why did the eldest lady suddenly ask like this?"

After Wen Gu got the answer, he felt a little relieved, but still had lingering fears: "I'm tired from standing, let's go back to the living room and talk."

After saying that, he went to the hall first, and Zhixia followed behind without knowing why: "Miss just said how about the last time?"

Wen Gu hurriedly said: "I mean that last time I didn't think thoroughly enough, let's sit down and talk about it carefully."

After finishing speaking, he looked up to the sky again, only to see that the sky was clear and there was no sign of change, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

While the two were talking, Wen Liang had already chased Cheng Wangshu for five lanes.

Today's deployment of soldiers and horses in the city has already made the people of Tongcheng speculate a lot. Coupled with the abnormal price of rice and grain in the past few days, many people feel that another war may be approaching.

It's not that Wen Liang doesn't want to hide his whereabouts, but the opponent's skills are quite strong, if he is distracted to think about other things, he will definitely be thrown away by him, so he has no choice but to do so.

However, even though he is pressing hard, Cheng Wangshu still has a lot of energy left. During the chase, he will fall into a certain courtyard from time to time and stay there for a while, as if he is waiting for Wenliang to catch up.

Wen Liang originally thought it was some kind of strategy to lure the tiger away from the mountain, but after careful consideration, he realized that it was not. Cheng Wang Shuruo really had some powerful helper, and he just showed up together in Bianshijuzhong, and he might not be able to stop him from doing what he wanted to do.Not to mention being in the center, now that there are many more hidden guards on guard, and Zhi Xia is beside the eldest lady, he is also relieved and only cares about chasing her.

Of course, Wen Liang will not let go of the courtyard where Cheng Wangshu stayed, but no matter how he observes, there is no one in the courtyard, or it is just the courtyard of ordinary people, nothing unusual.That being the case, Wen Liang concluded that Cheng Wangshu probably wanted to get rid of him, and deliberately fell down in order to find an opportunity to confuse the direction.

Ever since, I never lost my home all the way to the east, and people who came out of these lanes could see that one person was the first on the roof, followed by another, followed by more than a dozen people, and there were even pawns. Following their whereabouts and asking questions everywhere, passers-by were either frightened or curious, and could feel the urgency of these people in the room.

After a while, the small half of Tongcheng was stirred up by them.

Wen Liang chased Cheng Wangshu all the way to a courtyard in Anning Fang. A while ago, Cheng Wangshu stopped here for a while.

When Wen Liang arrived, a young girl who was about the same age as Wen Jing and a young man dressed as a scholar were looking at him in surprise.

Wen Liang first identified the direction in which Cheng Wangshu left, and then glanced at the two of them hastily.

The girl looked at him with a somewhat nervous expression, while the scholar opened his mouth, looking at the room for a while and Wen Liang for a while, with a rather bewildered expression.
