Chapter 161 begins
Mrs. Lin promised Prince Huairou to keep the secret, not to mention that Cui Zhen did not tell Cui Wei about this matter, so she must have any concerns, so she naturally would not disclose it randomly.
"Nothing is wrong," said Mrs. Lin, "It's just that the car is exhausted and a little tired. If there is any trouble, I will ask you."
Cui Wei nodded and looked at Gu Mingzhu gently: "Zhuzhu is also very obedient along the way. Yesterday I saw Zhuzhu helping her aunt walk."
"Yes," Mrs. Lin's face was full of love, "Zhuzhu is very filial."
"My cousin's illness has also improved a little," Cui Wei continued, "My aunt has not been working in vain for years."
This sentence touched Mrs. Lin's worries. Her nose was slightly sore and her eyes turned red: "I don't ask for anything else, as long as Zhuzhu is safe and sound." In the eyes of others, Zhuzhu may have a stupid disease, but for her, Zhuzhu is her favorite daughter no matter how she is.
She watched Zhuzhu's condition improve, but she didn't want to show more expectations in front of Zhuzhu. That would become Zhuzhu's burden. Her Zhuzhu should be happy, happy, smart or beautiful, and what's the matter?
Gu Mingzhu sat aside and held her mother's hand. Cui Wei's words sounded very ordinary, but they also made her alert. She always felt that Cui Wei was testing.
What did Cui Wei know? Five years ago, she knew that Cui Wei was not simple. Now this feeling is getting stronger and stronger. Cui Wei is not as qualified as the one in front of him. Perhaps his secret is hidden very deeply and unfathomable.
Cui Wei stood up and said, "I will send my mother and aunt to the carriage first, and then see my aunt when I rest on the road."
Mrs. Lin nodded.
When Cui Wei left the yard, Baotong approached and said, "Madam, I will serve you to change your clothes!"
To facilitate walking, Mrs. Lin changed into a narrow sleeve.
Mrs. Lin looked at Gu Mingzhu worriedly: "It's okay for me. You can leave quickly when something happens, but you're just worried about Zhuzhu."
Baotong smiled and said, "Madam, you underestimate the young lady. When the young lady was in Shaanxi, the old man took the young lady to ride a donkey. At first, I was frightened, but later I found that the young lady was sitting steadily, so I breathed a sigh of relief."
"Father took Zhuzhu to ride a donkey?" Mrs. Lin was surprised. Why didn't she know that her father was too brave... But how could Zhuzhu learn it?
Baotong smiled and said, "So you don't have to worry. The young lady is much better off running around the yard all day long. Besides, everything is arranged, and there are slaves and guards who are protecting each other."
After Baotong said this, Mrs. Lin was much more open-minded: "You shouldn't be careless."
"Don't worry, madam!"
While Mrs. Lin was changing clothes, Gu Mingzhu also checked the sleeve arrows on her arms and the daggers tied to her calf.
The time is almost over, and the mother and daughter get on the carriage as usual.
The convoy started moving forward again, and the prince was still ahead. When he arrived in the woods in front, he would sit in the carriage and rest. At that time, he avoided the crowd and went to Yangwuyu.
"Don't forget to bring me two sons of Lin Sizhen." The prince said.
Those are two excellent protons, and they can save their lives at critical moments. If Ruolin Temple really dares to do something wrong, he will kill the big one.
...
Wei Yuanchen watched the prince riding on the horse gradually drift away, and the prince did privately mobilize people to go to Yuanping's mountains.
Zhang Tong reported: "The locals call Wufeng Mountain, and there is a hidden military cave in the mountains. The prince really lets the soldiers surrounded this mountain and catch people. I'm afraid he will not be able to come out for a while."
The terrain in the mountains is complex, and a small number of people can restrain the soldiers and horses found by the prince.
Zhang Tong found many horse hoof marks around the mountain. Lin Temple really "sky soldiers" have been hiding well. They will wipe the traces along the way to avoid being tracked by scouts. It is so blatant in Wufeng Mountain, it is like deliberately leaking whereabouts, which shows that this is probably a trap.
Later they discovered Peng Liang's traces. Zhang Tong thought he could help the prince-in-law find Peng Liang, but he saw many people from the Eastern Palace around Peng Liang.
Zhang Tong did not dare to act rashly, so Peng Liang was taken away by the people from the East Palace. The war was about to break out, and any small thing could make them defeated, especially now those people have already made plans and they are at a disadvantage. It is a small matter for them to lose manpower. There are many people around. We must try our best to protect the people and not eliminate more innocent lives in the war.
Zhang Tong said: "I don't know what Peng Liang will do." Thinking of Peng Liang's situation, he felt indebted, after all, people were arrested from under his nose.
"He has been targeted for a long time," said Wei Yuanchen. "You will make your move rashly, which will arouse their suspicion."
The matter is clear at this point. Wei Yuanchen: "The prince knows that there are not bandits in Wufeng Mountain, otherwise he would not have had such a big fight." Even if the prince has real Lin Si gangsters around him, the man would have to use someone to implement his strategy, and Peng Liang is the best choice.
Wei Yuanchen continued: "Peng Liang also knew that the person who kidnapped Zhao was not as simple as a bandit, otherwise he would have reported to the official position long ago. He acted secretly and was charged with deserter. Once he was arrested, he would be dealt with by military law. If Peng Liang had not felt forced to do so, he would not have made such a choice.
As I had previously speculated, Peng Liang and Zhao stayed here to investigate the case of the mutiny in Shanxi. Peng Liang frequently transferred positions in the garrisons around Taiyuan Prefecture, whether they were civil officials or military generals. This was not conducive to his career, so he is still a centurion.
There are disadvantages and advantages. There are obstacles to the career, but it can facilitate him to inquire about the case back then. Peng Liang is now in Ningwu Office, and the chief of the garrison office was once under Zheng Bian. I think Peng Liang found out what happened, and because of this, the other party suspected that Zhao's identity would be exposed."
He was pressing forward to investigate the case in Taiyuan Prefecture. Zhao was arrested and the prince-consort came to Taiyuan Prefecture. Maybe they were afraid that Zhao would leak the news to the prince-consort at first, and wanted to use Zhao to attract the prince-consort to silence the mother and son together. Later, they found out that Han Yu was arrested. Lin Sizhen was in danger, so the princess and the prince came to Shanxi, so they had some thoughts.
Zhou Zesheng next to him understood that he was a general and naturally knew the dangers of the current situation: "If the people from Ningwu Institute also betrayed the Great Zhou Dynasty, once Ningwu Pass opened, the old camp fort was attacked from both sides, and the border pass might be lost. If Yulin Guard responds again, the entire northwest line will fall into the enemy."
Zhou Zesheng immediately looked at Wei Yuanchen: "I know you have a way to let me guard the pass. I can't protect a few female relatives here."
"You are gone, how can these female relatives face the real rebels of Linsi?" Wei Yuanchen said quietly, "What's more, you are a general of the Jingji garrison. Even if you find an excuse to cover up, you will be suspected. We still have to investigate Rujun's case. So I ask you to secretly protect the female relatives. When the female relatives are safe, you will return to office immediately. This battle must be fought for some time, and don't rush to this moment."
Zhou Zesheng said: "What about you? Will you not arouse the emperor's suspicion if you lead troops?"
"I won't do it now," Wei Yuanchen looked calm, "I waited until the surrounding garrisons were arrested and the surrounding garrisons were in chaos, and I had no choice but to come forward to rescue the garrison.
The captive of the crown prince is a serious crime. If it is not rescued, it is unforgivable. I think no one will compete with me for this crime."
"You are," Zhou Zesheng frowned, "I can't care about anything."
Wei Yuanchen curled his lips slightly: "Since it is to guard the country's gate, there is nothing to think about. Before leaving, Dingning Hou said that he would defend the pass to the death and would not let the Tatars go further. He was defeated by his son and husband, and let's see if he deserves this ever-winning general."
As soon as Wei Yuanchen finished speaking, he saw the generals of his family coming hurriedly.
