Prime Minister Wen also replied excitedly: "Exactly, Liu Baichuan has been found. This old guy has not left the capital."
Hearing this, Wu Yuan was also a little excited, "Really?"
"It's absolutely true!" Prime Minister Wen said with certainty.
Of course Wu Yuan believed what Prime Minister Wen said, but he was a little strange, "Wasn't he exiled? Why is he still in the capital?"
However, Prime Minister Wen looked around and said cautiously: "Your Highness, this matter is a long story. Your Highness will follow me to a place first."
Wu Yuan also realized that there must be something fishy about Liu Baichuan staying in the capital, so he stopped asking further questions and got into Prime Minister Wen's carriage and left with him.
Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of a farmer's house.
It's quite quiet here, and there aren't many people around. It seems like Liu Baichuan is hiding here.
Even so, he was very courageous. Once he was discovered, Liu Baichuan would resist the decree, and he could avoid being exiled and just have his head beheaded.
At this time, Wu Yuan saw a person walking in the yard.
Taking a closer look, Wu Yuan was surprised to find that this person was not Liu Baichuan, but another person mentioned to Prime Minister Wen today, Yang Ming!
Wu Yuan glanced at Prime Minister Wen in surprise, "Why is he here?"
Prime Minister Wen also smiled and said: "It is a coincidence that when I secretly investigated Liu Baichuan's whereabouts, Mr. Yang took the initiative to find me."
Wu Yuan was startled, "What? He told you about Liu Baichuan's whereabouts?"
Prime Minister Wen nodded, "That's right, but he took the initiative to ask to see you, Your Majesty, so he is waiting here."
Wu Yuan frowned slightly, with some doubts in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Prime Minister Wen quickly explained, "Your Highness, please rest assured, I didn't say anything to him."
Hearing what Prime Minister Wen said, Wu Yuan was a little confused.
Originally I thought it was Prime Minister Wen who told Yang Ming that he had intended to conquer this person before.
I was even a little angry that Prime Minister Wen was not strict with his words, but looking at Prime Minister Wen's current behavior, it seemed that he had misunderstood.
In this case, could it be that Emperor Wu asked Yang Ming to come to him?
Just as he was thinking about it, Yang Ming had already walked over.
"Your Majesty Yang Ming has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Wu Yuan's expression returned to calm, and he spoke without a smile: "Excuse me, why do you want to see me? Or did Emperor Wu send you here?"
Yang Ming shook his head, "It was the official who asked Prime Minister Wen to bring him to see His Highness the Crown Prince. However, His Highness should have some business to attend to. After His Highness has finished handling the business, could you please give me a few words?"
This sounds quite comfortable.
Wu Yuan did not refuse, "Yes, but how did you know Liu Baichuan was hiding here?"
Yang Ming also immediately explained: "Master Liu is actually Xiaguan's mentor and the leader who brought Xiaguan into the officialdom. Xiaguan didn't want his mentor to be exiled and suffer, so he secretly placed his mentor here."
Wu Yuan was greatly surprised when he heard Yang Ming's words.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ming and Liu Baichuan actually have this kind of relationship.
Wu Yuan was really surprised. Liu Baichuan's arrogant character actually made him a good disciple.
"Why haven't you heard of it before?" Wu Yuan asked, looking at Prime Minister Wen.
Prime Minister Wen also shook his head, "I only learned about it today."
"Oh? It seems that you have hidden it well. Could it be that you have some intention?" Wu Yuan looked at Yang Ming with a half-smile.
Yang Ming also bowed, "Your Highness misunderstood, but at that time, Xianguan and Lord Liu had some disagreements, so Lord Liu was not willing to admit me as a disciple, and I was not allowed to tell anyone about my relationship as a teacher and student with Lord Liu.
"
Hearing this, Wu Yuan was a little surprised, and then said with profound meaning: "It seems that you are still a disobedient disciple."
"However, Liu Baichuan might not have expected that in the end it would be his disobedient disciple who was unwilling to admit that he would save him."
Yang Ming was not proud of anything, he just said calmly: "My mentor has been a great kindness to me, and I just want to repay this kindness."
It has to be said that Yang Ming's actions made Wu Yuan somewhat impressed.
Just because he knew Yang Ming was a smart man, how could he not know the consequences of saving Liu Baichuan if someone discovered him?
It can be said that Yang Ming risked his life to save him.
"Then why did you take the initiative to expose Liu Baichuan today? And you dared to tell me this? Are you not afraid that this prince will do something to you?" Wu Yuan said with a smile.
Prime Minister Wen also looked at Yang Ming. He also didn't understand why Yang Ming took the initiative to find him today and told him about Liu Baichuan.
If Yang Ming hadn't said anything, he would never have been able to find Liu Baichuan.
Yang Ming did this matter so flawlessly that when Prime Minister Wen investigated, he had even found out that Liu Baichuan had left the capital.
Prime Minister Wen was shocked when Yang Ming appeared and talked about Liu Baichuan.
Under the gazes of Wu Yuan and Prime Minister Wen, Yang Ming said: "If there is a reason, I will explain it to His Highness the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Wen later. Please come into the room, Lord Liu is already waiting for you inside.
"
Hearing this, Yang Ming had already told Liu Baichuan that he was looking for him.
Doesn't this amount to betrayal?
Now, Wu Yuan was indeed somewhat interested in Yang Ming, but he was still worried about Xile.
This time, I hope I can gain something from Liu Baichuan.
"You two wait for me here. I'll be back as soon as I go."
Yang Ming naturally nodded in agreement, and Prime Minister Wen reminded, "Your Highness, be careful."
Wu Yuan nodded, but Yang Ming didn't say anything.
Wu Yuanze had already strode into the bungalow. The furnishings inside were just like ordinary farmers' houses, very simple.
Mr. Liu, like an old farmer, wore ordinary cloth. The only thing that was better was that the cloth was relatively clean and had no patches.
His hair was a little messy and he was drinking wine one mouthful at a time.
"Your Highness, the Prince is here? Now that my legs and feet are inconvenient, I won't be able to greet His Highness. Your Highness, please sit down wherever you like."
Wu Yuan was not polite and sat directly opposite Liu Baichuan.
The man in front of him no longer had the grace of a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he looked a little decadent.
"Master Liu, have you given up on yourself?" Wu Yuan asked.
Liu Baichuan laughed at himself, "It doesn't count. It's just that there is nothing else to do. I heard that His Highness wants to find me. Although I haven't been in contact with His Highness for a long time, I still know that Your Highness is a person. He is not the kind of person who adds insult to injury. He is not here to do anything.
It’s just my joke. Whatever your Highness’s problem is, it doesn’t matter.”
Seeing Liu Baichuan become so free and easy, Wu Yuan was a little surprised.
"If Mr. Liu could be so open-minded before, why would he be like this?" Wu Yuan also said with emotion.
Liu Baichuan laughed "haha" and said, "It's too late to regret it!"
