Chapter 136 All the way to the south (1)
After Zhao Zimu left Chen Jin’s big tent, she gave Yue Liu a few instructions and then set off immediately with Yue Qi and went to the south without stopping for a moment.
After the two rushed for about sixty li, they ran into a dense forest. The forest was very large and dense. Enduring the anxiety in her heart, she let Yue Qi stop. Without checking, she knew that there was a group of people hidden here.
The horseshoe marks on the ground were very clear as if it was left on purpose. There were many signs of damage in the surrounding bushes which were also left not long ago. It seemed that the people waiting here were not must faster than them. This was probably thanks to the pigeon that came from the capital, causing these people’s ambush to be a bit of a rush. If that hadn’t been the case, these people would’ve long prepared an ambush here and there should be a few days in between before they meet each other.
Yue Qi looked once at Zhao Zimu, but Zhao Zimu didn’t express anything. So, he patted his horse, went a bit forward and said loudly, “Everyone, you have already been discovered by us, so, you don’t have to hide anymore.”
Suddenly, there was sound of leaves and branches being stomped on in the quiet forest. Zhao Zimu looked into the deep forest. She saw many people coming out of the forest and the leader was indeed an acquaintance. It was Chen Jing.
The two sides looked at each other and didn’t speak. After a long time did Chen Jing open his mouth, “Zhao Zhong, go back. I won’t let you pass. Presumably, you also know. The capital wouldn’t be peaceful for a while. You should stay here. You won’t make it through me.”
Zhao Zimu listened to him and then quietly said, “It is Situ Yuanxiao who let you block here, right? Is it fearing that I will ruin the matter of his elder brother?”
Chen Jin looked confusedly at her. it seemed that he still didn’t know what had happened in the capital and was just following Situ Yuanxiao’s instruction. As for why he had to do it, he presumably didn’t inquire.
Really loyal…
But this kind of loyalty was the most terrible to Zhao Zimu. If she didn’t dispose of him, Zhao Zimu would rather let him be disciplined by general Pingxi all his life. Looking at the person in front of her, Zhao Zimu said coldly, “Does general Pingxi know what you are doing? Do you believe that if he got to know he might want to let me break your legs so that you can never walk again? Chen Jing, are you trying to implicate your father?!”
Zhao Zimu yelled coldly at him. Chen Jing was stunned, but he still silently blocked in front of her. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the sound of horseshoe behind him. Zhao Zimu turned to look. A light flashed by in her eyes. then, she looked at Chen Jing. Chen Jing also saw the person who was riding the horse in a distance.
Ling Er panted when she rode the horse to her side. Then, she said breathlessly, “Mi, young master!”
Although, Zhao Zimu ignored her, the scene became more tense with her arrival. The hostile atmosphere suddenly became taciturn.
Ling Er must’ve discovered something that made her catch up with Zhao Zimu the moment she left. It must’ve been difficult on her. Zhao Zimu’s speed was very fast. She actually caught up with Zhao Zimu.
Chen Jing looked at the girl not far away from him and his eyes flashed complexity. For more than a year, she has always surrounded him from neither too close nor too far away, causing Chen Jing to think that she has some thoughts about him. However, because of their standpoint, Chen Jing didn’t dare to make his thoughts clear for fear that things were not as he thought and he was more afraid that the two would fall out completely with each other.
Therefore, the relationship between the two has always been frozen.
Ling Er looked once at Chen Jing before she turned to Zhao Zimu, “Young master, I will go with you. No matter what, don’t leave Ling Er alone here.”
Zhao Zimu didn’t respond to Ling Er. Instead, she turned to Chen Jing whose eyes has become a bit gloomy and said, “A chaos is about to happen at the court. Many people can’t wait to hide as far as possible as to not harm themselves, but you, you are in the far away northwest and still want to meddle into these things. I advise you to get out of the way, lest you even get general Pingxi involved. You better think whether your father is more important or fifth prince is more important. I won’t force you. It is just that loyalty and filial piety have never existed together since ancient times. I will only ask you; will you not even care about your father for Situ Yuanxiao?”
Chen Jing was silent for a moment and then raised his head to look directly at Zhao Zimu, “Can you tell me what had happened in the capital?”
After asking this, Chen Jing stopped talking. After all, he was worried that his father would be implicated. He didn’t want his father who was revered by thousands of people and who had worked hard his whole life, to step into mud because of him. Hence, his resolve couldn’t not shake and he had to ask this.
After all, even if his relationship with Situ Yuanxiao was very close, it was not as close as the kinship between a father and a son. Chen Jing didn’t have the ideology where he could give up everything for Situ Yuanxiao yet.
“The emperor suddenly got ill and hasn’t waken up. And under the leadership of the crown prince, the officials at court wanted to rid the emperor of evil subjects. Wat do you think they want to do?” Zhao Zimu stared at Chen Jing and asked. Chen Jing’s expression finally changed after he heard the last sentence.
He had obviously realized the seriousness of the problem. Situ Yuanxiao hasn’t told him what had happened and only let him set an ambush here to stop her.
However, the things were obviously not as simply and he also didn’t want to become someone else’s cannon fodder muddleheadedly and also hurt his family.
But fifth prince…
