Chen Kaizhi seemed very careful in front of the Empress Dowager.

Because he really couldn't guess the empress dowager, the more he couldn't guess, the more he felt afraid.

The more uneasy Chen Kaizhi felt that he couldn't understand the thoughts of the Empress Dowager. After all, she was not an ordinary person, but a person who could make him lose his head with a simple word.

On the surface, she seemed to care about everything, but she knew everything. Such a person is actually very terrible.

Although he was afraid, Chen Kaizhi was really hungry, so he ate a few pastries voraciously.

Perhaps because the sound of his eating was louder, the Empress Dowager suddenly said, "It's so delicious."

Chen Kaizhi was stunned. He couldn't vomit the pastry in his mouth, and it was difficult to swallow it. He choked up for a moment, and his face turned red because of the discomfort.

Seeing this, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but smile. The next moment, her eyes narrowed slightly and said to King Zhao beside her: "Go and give me some instructions. I'll set off in an hour. Chen Kaizhi will take a horse and protect him later, so that he can fill his stomach and rest."

Chen Zhi bowed and said, "Yes, my son knows."

He bowed and left in a hurry.

Chen Kaizhi finally swallowed the food stuck in his throat, but he still felt uncomfortable. He could only swallow saliva constantly to relieve the discomfort at this moment.

The Empress Dowager looked very interested and still looked at him steadily. He became embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Look..."

The Empress Dowager waved her hands with a smile and said, "It's okay, eat slowly, you can get off when you have enough. Gao Jin, come and give him a pair of tea, sit down."

An old eunuch next to him smiled and poured tea for Chen Kaizhi. Chen Kaizhi ate the tea and felt much more comfortable. The Empress Dowager's eyes turned, and her face showed insightful wisdom. Her eyes fell on Chen Kaizhi and she immediately spoke slowly.

"I heard that the Ai family admires you very much?"

Everyone knows this clearly. This Empress Dowager is really not simple.

Chen Kaizhi thought for a while and hurriedly said, "I dare not, I am just a little diligent in my work."

The Empress Dowager nodded to Chen Kaizhi: "It is rare to know how to do things at a young age. Look at the Ai family, there are so many children and grandchildren, but they don't do much, but their minds are more active than others."

Chen Kaizhi is not easy to take a break now. Damn, the Empress Dowager is the type of death when she sees light. Anything she says really makes people wonder how to proceed. It seems that no matter how she answers, it is wrong.

When the Empress Dowager saw Chen Kaizhi silent, she was not angry, but continued to ask with a smile: "Mu admires you, which must mean that you have your ability. What do you think of King Zhao?"

The Empress Dowager asked, and if Chen Kaizhi did not answer, it would be very disrespectful. Therefore, Chen Kaizhi had to bite the bullet and answer: "His Highness Zhao is a wise king, and he praises it in the world. The ministers admire him very much."

The Empress Dowager still smiled, her eyes narrowed slightly, and looked at Chen Kaizhi very seriously: "So what do you think, what do you think about the Ai family?"

"This... I don't know." Chen Kaizhi felt uncomfortable. This was an awkward chat. No matter how you talked, it was wrong. Any mistake he said anything wrong would leave a bad impression. How could he answer this?

However, he still couldn't help but say, "Justice, when she saw the Empress called Your Highness King Zhao, she felt that the Empress seemed to be not very close to Your Highness King Zhao. Naturally, this is the nonsense of the ministers. Where can I not love my children in this world? Please forgive me."

Chen Kaizhi is not ignorant, and he does not say anything casually when he says this.

The mission he came out this time was to represent the Empress Dowager's greeting, and the purpose of the Empress Dowager was obviously to test the thoughts of the Empress Dowager. It was precisely because of this that he dared to say these things.

After speaking, Chen Kaizhi carefully observed the Empress Dowager's expression, hoping to see some clues from her expression.

However, the Empress Dowager just smiled faintly and said, "Your words are wrong."

Chen Kaizhi quickly closed his eyes and said solemnly: "I'll ask the Empress to show me."

The Empress Dowager put away the smile on her face, and suddenly she looked stern, her tone seemed particularly cold and hard: "You are using the closeness and alienation of the people to speculate on the Tian family. Of course, the mothers in the world love their children, but the Ai family..."

Her eyes were cloudy and flashed slightly, and then said, "If the Ai family had not calculated it wrong, there are thirty-three children and grandchildren in the world. If the Ai family could survive for a few more years, their grandchildren would have grandchildren. I'm afraid that by then, there would be hundreds of grandchildren here. Look, there are so many children and grandchildren, and I can't even remember the names. People will always have preferences in the world. This is human nature. So you are right, the Ai family... is not very close to King Zhao, and many children and grandchildren are not very close to them."

She suddenly became melancholy, looking depressed, with her head down and silent.

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but think about it. The Empress Dowager seemed to be right. She has so many children and grandchildren that she can't remember clearly. How could everyone be close to each of them?

This topic is obviously not a good topic, so Chen Kaizhi dared not talk about it anymore, just drinking tea to hide his embarrassment.

After a while, Chen Zhijing finally returned and said excitedly: "My mother, everything is ready."

Chen Kaizhi thought in his heart that it seemed that the Empress Dowager did not look like the reinforcement brought by King Zhao, but... What was the Empress Dowager who suddenly came to Luoyang this time?

She knew everything about Luoyang, but she was willing to suffer from loneliness for more than ten years and lived in the Ganquan Palace. It was really hard to guess!

Because if a person loves tranquility, it is impossible to care and understand the movements that are hundreds of miles away; and if a person does not love tranquility, how could he go to the Ganquan Palace and stay away from the center of power? It would be fine if it took a year or two, but for more than ten years, how could she endure it?

It’s just that the matter of the Tian family is not something Chen Kaizhi can guess. His purpose this time is to send the Empress Dowager safely to the capital. He can’t take care of so many other things. If the Empress Dowager targets the Empress Dowager in the future, he will find a way out. Now he will not be able to test it anymore, so as not to do too much or make the Empress Dowager disgusted with him, it will be really not worth the loss.

At this time, the Empress Dowager glanced at King Zhao, then nodded, and said lightly: "Since that's the case, prepare to set off."

…………

The team started to set off again, and Chen Kaizhi went to the Wengcheng first and immediately ordered the Warriors Camp to set off in line.

A team of cavalry from the front army had already set off first, and then the Warriors' camp met with the Queen Mother's Feng Jiao.

The officials from Mianchi County went to the city gate to see him off. With many respectful eyes, the elder's team moved slowly and walked eastward.

For Chen Kaizhi, this journey was actually just to accompany him to enjoy the scenery along the way. However, the scenery was fine when he came, but when he returned, he seemed a little careless. Chen Kaizhi was not very interested in it, and he just wanted to send the Empress Dowager to Luoyang earlier. This time the errand was completed successfully.

But when he walked forward for more than ten miles, he suddenly saw a fast horse racing towards them. Chen Kaizhi thought that the cavalry guards of the front team had already stopped. He was waiting for the troops in the back team and sent someone back to report.

But when the cavalry got closer, Chen Kaizhi's eyes suddenly felt something was wrong.

Because this person was covered in blood, his blood-red body became more and more obvious. The war horse under him even spitted white foam, and his whole body was shaking, as if he was about to fall.

Chen Kaizhi was shocked and Qingjun's eyebrows frowned involuntarily. How could the person who came was injured?

What happened? This is the cavalry guard in Chang'an, with hundreds of troops. As the vanguard front team, why does it seem like it has been attacked?

The point is, who would dare to attack the guards? And, are there hundreds of cavalry?

Chen Kaizhi did not hesitate and ran towards the man quickly on his white qilin. The two horses intersected, and the man seemed to be unable to bear it. He was about to fall off the horse. Chen Kaizhi was quick-eyed and handy, and he held him wrongly, causing him to pause, and finally fell to the ground slowly.

As soon as he supported him, Chen Kaizhi's body was stained with blood, but at this moment, Chen Kaizhi couldn't control so much, but asked anxiously: "What's going on?"

"Out of the way, something happened... and the attacked team was attacked..." The knight opened his eyes wide in fear. His voice was weak due to his injuries, and his words also stuttered: "We were ordered to go first. When we arrived at Guanyinggou, a team of soldiers rushed out. They were all agile men, with a total of two thousand people. We surrounded us from the left and right. We were not prepared for a while. Seeing this, the lieutenant fought to the death. He ordered the humble man to come and send a message. Hum... Hum... Hum..."

Before he finished speaking, the other party fainted. Chen Kaizhi realized that there was a feather arrow inserted in his back rib, and his body was covered with wounds. The feather arrow penetrated very deeply, which was obviously a fatal place.

In shock, Chen Kaizhi hurriedly picked him up on his horse and turned back. He immediately shouted: "Please follow the army doctor, everyone stops moving forward."

At this time, Chen Kaizhi was extremely surprised and even felt a sense of uneasiness coming.

Things were too sudden. Why did the enemy appear at this time?

This is the hinterland of Dachen, and it is impossible for Northern Yan or Hu people to appear.

He got off the horse and thought in a mess that these people were large. Judging from the description of this knight, they were obviously an elite soldier, definitely not an ordinary soldier, an elite soldier...
