Chapter 579 It’s Already Dark

Song Lian's eyes were complicated, but in the end he patted Chen Chao's shoulder and sighed, "You and I are officials in the same court, and you helped me solve all my life-long affairs. If anything happens to you, my wife... What a pity... I will burn incense and paper for you every Qingming Festival."

Chen Chao's face was expressionless, "I would like to thank you in advance."

Song Lian laughed loudly.

Chen Chao smiled helplessly.

Song Lian looked at Chen Chao and moved his lips. He originally wanted to say something, but he hesitated and did not say anything.

He didn't know how things would develop, but he didn't want to see that outcome.

"For a person like Your Majesty, I think...should...forget it, I can't say." Song Lian sighed.

Even a warrior like him who greatly admires the Emperor of Liang cannot guarantee anything in this matter. After all, this affects the whole world, and His Majesty the Emperor does not care too much about his son, let alone his nephew.

There is a lot of confusion among them, but nothing can be explained clearly in just one or two sentences.

"How about we go drinking together?"

Song Lian looked at Chen Chao, as if he didn't want to take another look at this very good young man in front of him.

"don’t worry."

Chen Chao smiled and said, "There will be plenty of opportunities to drink in the future."

After saying this, Chen Chao said, "I won't be here in the next few days. If possible next time, you will only be able to see me at His Majesty's banquet."

Song Lian was startled, and then he remembered that His Majesty the Emperor's banquet would be held in a few days. It happened once a year, and the Ministry of Rites had actually started to prepare for these days. Although for many people, this seemed to be a very important day, but for Emperor Liang Speaking for myself, it probably isn't a problem.

But that was the story of previous years. I think this year will be a little different no matter what.

Song Lian sighed.

Chen Chao didn't speak any more and left quickly.

Zuowei Yamen.

It was getting very late.

…

…

The distance between Zuowei's Yamen and his own small courtyard is not too far. Weng Quan stood guard at the door of the Yamen and handed a lantern to Chen Chao, while the other Yamen servants were far away.

Chen Chao took the lantern and said with a smile, "Why aren't you afraid?"

Weng Quan was confused, "Deputy Commander Chen, what did you say?"

Chen Chao was speechless and left the Zuowei Yamen without saying much, holding a lantern.

In the darkness, the light of the lantern can't illuminate much, but at least it can briefly see the road in front of me.

Chen Chao was walking down the long street. There was no one around, just silence.

Only the sound of his footsteps.

The world seemed to be extremely quiet at this moment.

Chen Chao walked for a while and saw a person.

It’s not a new face, but a familiar face. It’s the clay figurine stall owner I met when I first entered the city.

Chen Chao stopped and looked at the clay figurine stall owner who was also holding a lantern.

"Your Highness, it seems that after so long, you still have not made a decision. To be honest, I am very disappointed."

The clay figurine stall owner stood in the dark, with the lantern shining on his angry and pale face.

Chen Chao remained silent.

The owner of the clay figurine stall said, "As a bloodline of the former Crown Prince, don't you have a bit of the blood of the former Crown Prince? Now this emperor dares to wear a white hat, but His Highness doesn't even have the courage? The revenge of killing his father is here Your Highness seems worthless? This world should belong to Your Highness, so can Your Highness just give it up?"

The clay figurine stall owner was very angry, and his words contained

With undisguised disappointment, now the time is very good, everything is available, but the young man in front of him has no idea of ​​what he wants to do.

"Those of us are just followers of His Highness the former Crown Prince, and we can also sacrifice our own blood for this. But as for His Highness, as the flesh and blood of His Highness the First Crown Prince, we really do nothing? Can we really live our lives with peace of mind?"

The clay figurine stall owner stared into Chen Chao's eyes, as if he wanted to see into his heart.

Chen Chao asked, "You said His Majesty killed my father, where is the evidence?"

The owner of the clay figurine stall snorted coldly, "I'm afraid His Highness won't believe it if I present the evidence now."

Chen Chao did not refute, just looked at him and said, "You said this world should belong to me? But how could this world belong to me?"

After hearing this, the owner of the clay figurine stall was startled, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? This world belongs to the lineage of the former Crown Prince. Your Highness is the only heir of the former Crown Prince, and it should belong to His Highness!"

Chen Chao shook his head and said, "No."

The clay figurine stall owner wanted to say something more, but Chen Chao shook his head and said, "I won't do what you want to do, so don't waste your time."

After saying this, Chen Chao walked forward with the lantern and soon passed by the clay figurine stall owner.

The owner of the clay figurine stall looked at Chen Chao's back and said coldly, "Your Highness, when the knife is placed on your neck, it will be too late if you regret it."

Chen Chao didn't look back and didn't speak at all.

The clay figurine stall owner didn't speak anymore and just hid in the darkness.

…

…

It was getting late, and the lights in the Zuowei Yamen were brightly lit. Song Lian was sitting in the hall, looking through some files. Soon he heard the sound of footsteps, and a Zuowei Yamen servant trotted in, "Sir, the deputy commander of the Zuowei Yamen is Yao Sir, I have something to ask for."

Song Lian raised his head and said, "Yao

island? "

The officer nodded, "It's Master Yao. He said it was an urgent matter under the orders of Commander Ye."

Song Lian frowned slightly and quickly said, "Let him in."

Soon, a figure arrived at the lobby of the Left Guard. It was Yao Dao, the deputy commander of the Right Guard. When he saw Song Lian, he immediately knelt on one knee and said anxiously, "Sir Song, I am here on the orders of Commander Ye to ask for your help!"

Song Lian asked, "What's the matter?"

"We found several monsters in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Left Guard. They are of high level and are hurting people. Sir Ye has taken people there, but I am afraid that they cannot be killed. Therefore, Commander Ye specially ordered me to ask Sir Song to send people to help!"

Yao Dao knelt on the ground, "I hope you will put aside the past grudges. If you don't help me now, I am afraid that many colleagues of the Right Guard will die here."

Song Lian frowned and said, "Why did so many monsters suddenly appear in Shendu?"

As the capital of Daliang, Shendu may not be as difficult to break as the Great Wall of the Northern Border, but it is impossible for monsters in Daliang to overestimate their own abilities and dare to commit crimes in Shendu.

Yao Dao gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe it's a monster raised by a foreign cultivator. Sir, we really can't hesitate any longer!"

It's no longer a new thing that the left guard and the right guard don't get along. Although Song Lian has some personal grudges against the right guard, he will definitely not stand idly by because of these things at this moment.

Now that the garrison commander is away, he, as the commander of the left guard, must take the overall situation into consideration.

Song Lian immediately stood up and shouted to the hall, "Weng Quan, take some people to stay in the yamen, and the rest of you follow this commander."

Yao Dao said gratefully, "Thank you, sir!"

It's just that the deputy commander of the right guard lowered his head, but there was not much expression on his face, which made him look a little weird.
