Chapter 364 Identity
Changsun Jinghong spent two days fishing at the wharf in Huaishan County.

I ate fish for two days.

On the third day he stopped fishing because it was raining and because he was tired of eating.

This day is the ninth day of October in the 23rd year of Zhaohua.

He had lunch at Xiangmanfang, gave him a tael of silver, and took away the bamboo hat and coir raincoat that Mr. Ding Da had used, as well as a rusty knife.

He came to the pier again, and on a stone slab, he sharpened his knife for half an hour with the water from the river.

The knife has been sharpened.

The blade is also sharp again.

Holding the knife, he stood on the only road outside Huaishan County.

This road leads to Tai'an City and also to Kyoto.

He stood for half a stick of incense, and waited for the person he was waiting for.

What came was an army of 2 people wearing armor and holding knives and guns!

This army has a distinctive feature. There is a bunch of red tassels tied to their helmets, so it is called the Red Flame Army!

In this bleak autumn rain, Changsun Jinghong stuck the knife in his hand in the middle of the road.

The Red Flame Army stopped.

A tall war horse stepped out of the army, and a burly man sat on the horse.

He rode up to Changsun Jinghong, looked down condescendingly, and opened his mouth after a while:

"I don't want to kill you!"

Changsun Jinghong looked up at him, frowning slightly: "I thought it was Xia Yunhu, but I didn't expect it to be the general!"

"Are you waiting for Xia Yunhu?"

"It is."

"What are you waiting for him?"

"Ask him a word."

General Wu Mian didn't ask what he was saying, "Since you are waiting for the wrong person, get out of the way!"

"I suddenly changed my mind and wanted to ask the general a word."

"ask."

"Whose slave is the general?!"

This question kills my heart!

Because Wu Mian led the [-] Red Flame Army, and the direction he was going was Kyoto!
That will inevitably lead to chaos in Kyoto!

The Red Flame Army is a powerful army controlled by the Duke of Yan, and logically, it is also the emperor's army.

The emperor is not dead, and there is no danger. The Red Flame Army acted without authorization, which should be regarded as treason!

And Wu Mian used to be Lu Zhanxiao's subordinate waiting for the train, but today he actually leads the Red Flame Army. Does this mean that he has become Duke Yan's man?
Or, from the beginning to the end, he was originally a member of Duke Yan!

Wu Mian was silent for a long time, and instead of answering this question, he asked Changsun Jinghong:
"You have failed to fulfill Queen Lu's great trust!"

"Now you come here to seek death, went to the Underworld, and met Empress Lu, how do you explain to her?!"

The eldest Sun Jinghong's eyes were fixed, "The eldest son of the emperor is well!"

Wu Mian raised his eyebrows, "Where is he? Don't tell me, he is Li Chen'an!"

"What does the general mean, if the eldest son of the emperor is here, you will just let it go?"

Wu Mian was silent for another moment, this time he did not answer.

"I think you have guarded that big leaf banyan for twenty years, you get out of the way."

"What if the old man refuses?"

"...then go die!"

"How did Xi Wei control the emperor?"

Wu Mian didn't answer, he turned his horse's head around.

"There are still 3 people in the Red Flame Army, where are they now?"

Wu Mian turned his head, his eyes were piercing, but he looked in the direction of Kyoto.

"One last thing, I'll give you three breaths, if you don't get out of the way... I will step on your corpse!"

At this moment, an old voice sounded in this army:

"Are you nostalgic, General?"

"This person always likes to miss the past when he gets old."

"Nostalgia is not a good thing. The so-called old refers to old love, old friends, and old things."

"These things from the past are meaningless to the old man... After all, the old can only come with the new."

"Changsun Jinghong, you are not a nostalgic person at all, you are delaying the time to become the general!"

"But there is no rush, there is still some time, and the old man also wants to say a few words to you."

A carriage slowly drove out from the queue.

The carriage door opened.

An old man with gray hair wearing a black robe and a black face scarf came down from inside.

Changsun Jinghong narrowed his eyes:
"Xi Wei?!"

The old man nodded:

"You have been looking for this old man for 20 years, and it turns out that your wisdom is still limited."

"Since you are no longer lying under that crooked neck tree, and since you came here alone..."

"Now, old man, let me guess what you are waiting for when you come to this wretched place?"

"You are waiting for Qin Huaiyu!"

Changsun Jinghong's heart was shocked, and he heard Xi Wei say again:

"In the winter of the third year of Zhaohua, Qin Huaiyu and He Xishan performed a play together, which really deceived the old man, making the old man think that the two were at least seriously injured, so that the old man was careless for half an hour, and let the two of them kill the emperor's eldest son. was taken away."

"But Qin Huaiyu shouldn't have come back!"

"He shouldn't have agreed with you to meet in Huaishan County 20 years later!"

Changsun Jinghong's heart was filled with huge waves, "How do you know about this agreement?"

Xi Wei smiled slightly: "In the world, there are very few things that the old man doesn't know!"

"In order to wait for your meeting this time, this old man specially trained [-] dead soldiers in Qishan. The original purpose was to deal with you, Qin Huaiyu and those little devils of your Imperial City Division. Originally, this old man thought that Qin Huaiyu would bring the eldest son of the emperor to Here, I hand it over to you. But that old thing has also become cunning, and he came alone, just three days ago."

"He didn't meet you."

"He went to Changle Palace."

"He actually wanted to ask the emperor... He simply didn't pay attention to the old man, so the old man kept him."

At this moment, Changsun Jinghong suddenly smiled: "In these years, Qin Huaiyu and Wu Xishan have not shown up, and you dare not show up!"

"After all, you still haven't found the whereabouts of the eldest son of the emperor. After all, you are very old, so you have to rush this matter today."

"There is no flawless strategy in the world, and no one can truly be flawless!"

"You shouldn't have come, but the old man knew that you would definitely come!"

"Because you have painstakingly planned for so long, this is the most critical moment, and what happens next is what you most want to see in your life."

"Just like a farmer who works so hard to sow seeds, weed and fertilize, what he is waiting for is the autumn harvest!"

"So I'm here, not only waiting for Qin Huaiyu, but also...you!"

Xi Wei was not surprised, he even nodded:
"You're right. I should have waited another year or so, but the old man is indeed very old, and I'm afraid I'll wait for my death."

"This good show has just started. I don't want to miss it, so I came out to have a look. I didn't expect to meet you here."

Changsun Jinghong pouted,

"You are no longer what you used to be. You made a mistake. You shouldn't have talked so much with the old man. Now I know who you are!"

The old man in black robe raised his eyes, with a playful expression between his brows, "Tell me, who is this old man?"

Changsun Jinghong stared into the eyes of the black-robed old man.

The autumn rain was misty, and I couldn't see clearly.

But two very positive words came out of his mouth:
"Shangdi!"
