The prince's carriage was still moving forward, but the prince, who was originally riding a horse, felt tired and returned to the carriage to rest.

A moment later, a team of East Palace guards and Mr. Shin left on horseback, as if they were going to explore the way forward.

Wei Yuanchen couldn't help but show a sarcastic smile on his face, and the self-righteous prince was heading to Yang Wuyu.

"In a while, news will come from the Wufeng Mountain," Wei Yuanchen said, "I want to bring people there so that they will believe that we are fooled."

Zhou Zesheng nodded.

Wei Yuanchen's eyes fell on the Gu family's carriage.

"I'll leave it to my uncle." Wei Yuanchen's face was cold, and there was no emotion in his deep eyes.

"Third Master, Princess Huairou has gone into the mountains."

Wei Yuanchen nodded, and after leaving the team, he was about to take his people to Wufeng Mountain. Before leaving, he looked at Liu Su next to him: "Stay behind and help Master Zhou Qi with Nie Chen and others."

After Wei Yuanchen said that, he drove his horse forward.

Chu Jiu deliberately lagged behind for a moment and walked to Zhou Zesheng to lower his voice so that Liu Su would not hear it: "Master Zhou Qi, over there...you must protect him." Chu Jiu shook his eyebrows at the Gu family carriage. The third master was thin-skinned and said too vaguely. At this time, it was time for him, the guard to come on the field.

Zhou Zesheng nodded. Now he is becoming more and more sure that Mr. Wei San treats Miss Gu very well, but... Isn't Miss Gu a fool?

He really couldn't figure it out. Maybe he could see some clues along the way in secret.

Gu Mingzhu lifted the curtain and looked at Wei Yuanchen leaving. It should be that news came from Princess Huairou! Wei Yuanchen had to act like he was fooled so that those people in Lin Sizhen could relax their vigilance and think that they were unprepared. In fact, after Cui Zhen left, he would definitely find ways to inform the Datong defenders and guard against the turmoil of the frontier guards and the invasion of the Tatars.

As long as the Tatars can be blocked outside the pass, no matter how many troops Lin Sizhen really has, it will not be overthrown. Sooner or later, it will be suppressed. Moreover, if the thief is captured, the king will be captured first. If Lin Sizhen is killed, the morale of the rebels will be shaken and the court can conquer them one by one. Therefore, what Wei Yuanchen and Cui Zhen have to do is to delay time and wait for the reinforcements of the court to come.

Lin Sizhen set up a plan to capture the prince, which seemed to have nothing to do with them, but Gu Mingzhu felt that Lin Sizhen and the people would not let them go easily. They were the female relatives of the Great Zhou Xungu family, and they would always be useful after being caught.

Mrs. Lin was a little worried. After a while, the carriage stopped to rest. Should she go and see the elder sister? The elder sister may still be kept in the dark. Should she explain it clearly to the elder sister? No matter where she escapes, everyone will take care of her.

The carriage slowly stopped, and the people began to help the women get off the car and take a rest.

Liu Su took the opportunity to come to Gu Mingzhu: "Nie Chen and the others are behind. I have discussed with Nie Chen that if there is any movement here, Nie Chen will bring someone to help.

I don’t know if the women of the Cui family will walk with us.”

Gu Mingzhu shook her head. The mother and daughter were abandoned at Mrs. Lin's farm. What's more, when she saw soldiers coming, Mrs. Lin would treat them as a burden and would never take them with her.

"How is the princess?" Gu Mingzhu asked.

"Nie Chen asked the people in the market to pretend to be the villagers and woodcutters around him and keep watching the situation in the mountains. The hidden soldiers in the mountains were too complicated, and they were there since the previous dynasty."

Gu Mingzhu heard from her father that during the previous dynasty, Yuanping was an important frontier town, and there were many soldiers guarding it. The Great Zhou territory was advanced westward and northward, strengthening the defense of Xuanfu, Datong and Shaanxi Xingdusi. Yuanping's troops were less stationed, and some fortifications were naturally abandoned. Lin Sizhen and others used these to act.

Liu Su continued: "Fortunately, there were people around him who had been to the Tibetan Bing Cave. Nie Chen drew a sketch for Lord Wei. Princess Huairou went to Wufeng Mountain to attract the attention of the people in the Tibetan Bing Cave. When those people were in Princess Huairou, it was the best opportunity to rescue Zhao."

Princess Huairou is used as bait. Although the princess is weak, she is willing to take risks for the prince consort and Zhao at critical moments. This is true love. Gu Mingzhu admires Princess Huairou's courage very much.

Gu Mingzhu said: "Tell me what else I hear."

Liu Su quickly reported everything, and Gu Mingzhu knew the whole situation. Lin Sizhen deliberately set up a trap and let the prince send all his energy to Wufeng Mountain. In fact, the heavy troops were set up in Yangwuyu. Lord Wei pretended not to know, but in fact, he had already asked his generals to find the people stationed by the Wei family in the garrison and ordered them to be prepared for the battle.

Master Wei made a judgment in advance and could quickly bring people to face the enemy, and would not panic because the prince was arrested. He also allowed people to understand the hidden military cave in advance, and could go deep into it and cooperate inside and outside. In addition, Wufeng Mountain was a fake shot, and there were not many soldiers and horses, which was easy to deal with. The princess and the prince-in-law should be safe and sound. Although it was a bit difficult to save Zhao, it was not completely without a chance.

Gu Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief for Princess Huairou and the prince-consort. It was worth it to exchange for the safety of a stupid prince.

As soon as the two of them said this, someone rushed to report: "Someone is coming here."

When Cui Wei heard the voice, he immediately took a few steps forward to meet the scout.

The scout gasped: "There are about a hundred people."

Cui Wei said: "Are you the men sent by the court who want to protect the prince and his wife to go to the capital?"

The scout shook his head: "The East Palace did not mention such a thing."

Seeing this situation, Lu Shenzhi also urged his horse to catch up.

"Brother Lu," Cui Wei said, "I'll go and ask the prince first..."

"The prince may not be in the car," Lu Shenzhi said, "When the carriage stops and rests, I will report to the prince about the prisoner. I just went there, but the prince refused to meet. The curtain of the carriage was blown by the wind, and I vaguely saw that there was no one inside."

Lu Shenzhi said with a serious face: "Will something happen?" He was left by Lord Wei to take care of the prisoner and take care of the convoy.

Now that I find that there are soldiers nearby, I will naturally break through this layer of window paper.

Cui Wei hesitated a little: "I'll ask someone to go and investigate."

"It's too late," Lu Shenzhi said, "I'll order the scouts to stop the men from approaching, and we must also order the men and women to prepare."

Cui Wei frowned: "Where has the prince gone? Do you want to inform the people from the East Palace? We use human hands without permission, but we are afraid that we will not comply with the rules."

Lu Shenzhi frowned. Cui Wei was also a person who had experienced wars of all kinds and small. Why was he so indecisive at the critical moment? He ignored the persuasion of Cui Wei and ordered people: "Go and stop those people. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there must be a court document.

When you encounter a prince's carriage, the troops need to stop ten miles away and submit documents before you can come forward. Since there are more than a hundred people, there must be a hundred households who will let the hundred households come alone."

Cui Wei was still confused as he watched a scout riding a horse and heading forward. The incident happened suddenly, but he seemed to be dealing with it very quickly. An official from a local government office seemed to know how to dispatch troops and horses better than him.

Cui Wei ordered the Cui family guards to be on guard.

"Sir, when we go on a daily basis, the guards of the East Palace will investigate the situation around and in front. Today, those guards are gone."

The yamen came forward to report to Lu Shenzhi.

Cui Wei seemed to have discovered the seriousness of the matter at this time: "What the hell is going on..."

Cui Wei's words came to an abrupt end. He saw a scout rushing back desperately. His shoulder was shot by a feather arrow. The scout's face was full of panic: "They have no documents in their hands... they have attacked."

"Quick, divide a team of people to protect the female family and retreat," Lu Shenzhi said, "The others will come with us to meet the enemy."

...

The carriage turned around in panic.
