"Actually, they didn't catch me..." Xu Mingshi's tone was a bit complicated when he mentioned this matter: "It was me who accidentally broke into the exit of the secret tunnel they dug."
Mrs. Cui was quite surprised when she heard this.
The co-author was actually delivered to your doorstep by yourself?
This is also quite unexpected.
"A secret passage?" Thinking that the three people in the cave escaped in a direction completely opposite to the entrance of the cave that was covered by huge rocks. It must have been the secret passage exit mentioned by Mingshi. Xu Mingyi couldn't help but ask: "Since it is a secret passage exit, it must not be the secret passage exit."
It would be easy to be discovered, how did you break in by mistake?"
The Duke of Zhen, who was sitting at the top, also looked at his grandson.
"I was chasing a hare at the time. I followed the hare all the way around, and accidentally approached it after passing through a bush. At that time, there was a person guarding the entrance. I guess he was secretly keeping an eye on the hunt.
——When the man saw that I had discovered him, he was probably afraid that I would attract the forbidden troops in the mountain, so he immediately dragged me into a secret passage." Xu Mingshi roughly explained what happened.
But what he said didn't tell the whole story.
He had always been quite cautious. After passing through the bushes, he saw that the surrounding area was particularly remote, with not a single path in sight. It looked like a place where even the Imperial Guard would not set foot when patrolling. He felt a little unsure and had no intention of pursuing it anymore.
But he didn't expect that the third eye is so strong and the heart is so heavy——
Perhaps because the natural instinct of a bird of prey was rarely stimulated, the third eye chased the rabbit and refused to look back. Chasing the rabbit was not enough, but also grabbed a handful of the head of the man who was sneaking behind the thorns.
Once caught, the man couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
It was obviously impossible for him to pretend not to see it.
So, what happened next...
But he could not tell the role played by the third eye in this matter. The third eye was still young and had no intention, so he should not be blamed.
What's more, Tianmu is already very self-blame.
Xu Mingshi quietly took a look at the big bird squatting at Xu Mingyi's feet with its wings cradled and its head curled up - look, Tianmu didn't even sit on a chair.
"It's quite unlucky to run into something like this. After we go back, we have to let Mr. Yao take a good look at it..." Mrs. Cui sighed lightly, looked at her son and said, "But you are really a child.
It's just a rabbit. If you don't want to eat wild game and don't want to get a reward, why bother chasing it all the way to a place like that?"
"When I see prey when I'm hunting, I naturally want to catch it...just like my mother beats the horse. Doesn't it mean that my mother wants to win for the money?" Xu Mingshi gave an example.
Ms. Cui blurted out: "Yes, what else?"
Who would sit there for most of the day if not to win money?
As we all know, she would never play a horse game without money.
Seeing his mother's expression of "I just want to win money," Xu Mingshi forcibly concluded: "... What my mother wants is not the money, but the satisfaction of winning money."
He said this in order to prevent his family from suspecting Tianmu, so he immediately added: "But this time it was indeed my son who was reckless and did not pay careful attention to the surrounding situation. There will definitely not be a second time."
"It must be because they have a long memory." Duke Zhen Guo looked at his grandson and asked, "Did you ever hear them say anything worthy of attention in the cave?"
"My grandson heard that they mentioned their plan to assassinate the emperor."
Xu Mingshi lowered his voice and said seriously: "They originally planned to wait for the emperor to go hunting in the mountains and take action when the guards around him were weak. However, the emperor did not enter the mountains today, so they planned to postpone the plan until tomorrow——"
But his appearance disrupted everything again.
"I disappeared in the mountains today, and my grandfather led people to search around the mountains. They began to worry that the hiding place would be exposed. And out of the fear that if something like this happened, tomorrow's hunting would inevitably be cancelled, they decided to venture into the palace at night.
Assassinate the Holy Driver."
After that, he added: "It can be seen from their conversation that for this operation, they entered the mountain several months ago and have been hiding in the cave, waiting for the Holy Spirit to come here on the day of spring hunting."
Xu Mingyi asked: "Do they have any internal agents in the palace?"
This assassination can be said to have been prepared for a long time, but these people's luck is indeed not good enough. Even if their plans were not disrupted, they obviously did not succeed in the assassination in the previous life, and they did not even cause any trouble - in the previous life, she
In Yangzhou, I have never heard of the assassination of Chunshou Shengjia.
But how did this group of more than ten people enter Quanhe Mountain in the first place, and how did they sneak into the emperor's residence in the palace tonight?
"Internal response..." Xu Mingshi shook his head: "I haven't heard of this."
And for a short period of time, he was knocked unconscious - but because it was too embarrassing, he was not prepared to mention it.
The Duke of Zhen asked some more questions, and Xu Mingshi answered them all.
After hearing this, Zheng Guozheng said: "Since there are no useful clues, there is no need to mention the fact that you fell into the hands of these people with outsiders."
This outsider naturally refers to the emperor.
Although he didn't do much to find his grandson, once he knew that he really rescued his grandson from those people, the other party would definitely have a lot of trouble.
If you give a slightly unsatisfactory answer, I'm afraid you will be suspected of having ulterior motives and deliberately shielding assassins and traitors.
When dealing with this kind of emperor who has a bad brain, it is better to touch him as little as possible.
Hearing his grandfather's explanation, Xu Mingshi was a little confused and subconsciously looked at Xu Mingyi.
Xu Mingyi nodded to him.
My grandfather, who had always acted straightforwardly, would choose to do this, which was obviously because he had truly given up on the emperor.
In her opinion, this is a good thing.
Seeing his sister nodding, Xu Mingshi said "yes".
Mrs. Cui didn't interfere too much with the old man's decision. Seeing that she had roughly understood what happened, she ordered the maid to prepare the food.
I have been busy looking for people, and for most of the day I didn't even get a sip of tea. Everyone felt relieved at this time, and they all felt hungry.
"Can you prepare more food?" Xu Mingyi asked Qingying, the eldest maid next to Cui.
Qingying nodded: "Back to the girl, there are many more in the kitchen."
The food for Uncle Qin and the others must also be prepared together, and all the men who practice martial arts are masters of cooking, so of course they must prepare more.
Xu Mingyi said: "Then ask someone to send some to Wu Shisun. If he has already used it, give the food to Xiao Qi and the others."
Ordinarily, one should invite people to come and have a meal together, but under the emperor's nose, it is inappropriate to get too close.
Even so, Qingying was still slightly startled.
Why did she feel inexplicably...that the girl's tone was too calm and natural?
And who is Xiaoqi?
It should be Wu Shisun's entourage, right?
The girls seem to be very familiar...
While Qingying nodded, she thought in a daze: Why does it feel like Wu Shisun... is her uncle?
