The reason why the emperor sent troops to pick up the third prince this time was firstly to show the emperor's approval of the third prince, and secondly because the third prince's side was short of manpower.
The Third Prince has some urgent matters that need to be decided by the court, but the people and matters in Qi County cannot stop. In order to ensure the smooth progress of recruiting soldiers through strategies, the accompanying officials stayed behind, as did the accompanying soldiers and horses.
most.
It stands to reason that after Zhou Xuan led his troops to Qi County and escorted the third prince back, everything would be fine.
The problem lies here.
"Now that the world is at peace, and there are hundreds of soldiers around, His Highness set off early, thinking of meeting Zhou Xuan's troops on the way."
Hearing this, Chen Danzhu sighed lightly: "That's why we were attacked."
Feng Lin nodded: "When it was dark and windy at night, a group of bandits attacked the camp and killed the third prince."
Chen Danzhu clenched his hands: "You can actually kill the third prince? Then this gangster is not an ordinary gangster, right?"
As the third prince said before, even if some troops are left in Qi County, there are still hundreds of soldiers around him. The court has been training troops for more than ten years. These soldiers are all brave and brave men who have actually been on the battlefield. They are just bandits.
How can you threaten them?
After all, she was the daughter of a military commander. She reacted immediately when she heard such words. Fenglin lowered his voice: "The situation is not clear yet. The general guessed that one is the hidden soldiers and horses of the Qi State, and the other is that the powerful nobles of the Qi State paid for the murder.
"
Chen Danzhu sighed, so the third prince still took a lot of risks to do this.
"How is he? Is he injured?" she asked hurriedly.
Fenglin said: "I was stabbed in the arm, but it's not serious. The specific situation is not clear. The news has just been sent. More detailed news will be sent back in the next two days. When there is news, I will send it back immediately.
Just tell Miss Danzhu, don’t worry."
Chen Danzhu hummed: "I'm just here to ask, if I'm worried, your Majesty and the general are more worried, so I won't add to the confusion."
She wanted to say something casually that she needed my help, but she could do it, but how could she help? The only thing she knew was some medical skills, but as Zhou Xuan said to her before, when it came to medical skills, the third prince had so many imperial doctors around him.
Who is not better than her, besides, there is Qi Nu now.
Chen Danzhu thanked Fenglin and came back. Anyway, the third prince was not dead even after she died in that life, so the third prince will be fine this time.
But the strange thing is that no more news came in the next two days. Even the news of the attack on the third prince disappeared. The passers-by in the teahouse at the foot of the mountain were talking about the excitement of Qijun's strategy to win soldiers.
The prince is so powerful.
So this matter was suppressed by the imperial court?
Also, the news about the attack on the third prince spread and the court was disgraced. Now there is no King of Qi. Qi County is a people, so the people cannot be frightened and uneasy, let alone affect the stability of Qi County.
Investigate what needs to be investigated, arrest what needs to be arrested, and kill what needs to be killed.
Chen Danzhu sat on a stone in the mountain, holding his chin up and watching the bustle coming and going down the mountain. Did the third prince also come back quietly?
"Chen Danzhu."
A female voice came from the side. Chen Danzhu turned around and saw Princess Jin Yao waving.
She quickly got up and ran over: "Princess, why are you here?"
At this time, the palace must be very nervous.
Has this matter spread in the palace?
Chen Danzhu's expression changed, and he didn't know whether he should ask.
Princess Jin Yao looked at her twinkling eyes and said with a smile: "I couldn't come out originally, but I was entrusted by someone to pass on a message."
Who? Chen Danzhu didn't ask, his eyes widened, and he held Princess Jin Yao's hand tightly.
"Your foster father." Princess Jin Yao said, holding back her laughter, "If it weren't for him, how could I have been released from the palace at this time?"
It was the Iron-faced General. There was no news about the Iron-faced General these days. She didn't have the nerve to go to the military camp to disturb her. It turned out that he still remembered her. Chen Danzhu asked hurriedly: "What are you saying? What does the general need me to do? Chen Danzhu went through fire and water.
Even to the death——"
Princess Jin Yao laughed and pinched her nose: "What can you do? I won't tease you anymore." She leaned over and lowered her voice, "My third brother is back and entered the palace in the early morning."
Chen Danzhu held her hand and asked in a low voice: "Is he okay?"
Princess Jin Yao nodded: "It's okay, although I haven't had time to see it yet." After saying that, she looked at Chen Danzhu with some resentment.
She learned the news when it was still dark, and now she has more spies in the palace than before. Of course, it is not to spy on anything, but just to not be blind and deaf when things happen.
She hurried to the third prince's side, but before she reached it, she was stopped by the passing Iron-faced General, who asked her to leave the palace first and say something to Miss Danzhu.
"The general said that you have been thinking about your third brother since he left. He even went to the military camp to inquire two days ago. He is busy now, so let me tell you."
Princess Jin Yao said, and then poked Chen Danzhu's forehead dissatisfied.
"You are so worried about my third brother. You really pester the general every day to ask questions."
Chen Danzhu chuckled: "After all, His Highness has helped me so much." He lowered his voice and said, "As for His Highness, you--"
Princess Jin Yao whispered: "Is it about the assassination? I know, the general told me."
Speaking of which, she felt a little proud. She was probably one of the first people in the harem to know about it.
"The general said that he was hit by a sword in his arm, but he can move freely now and is fine."
Chen Danzhu was completely relieved.
"My third brother knew that there would be difficulties and obstacles when he went there. He was not afraid. Even if it were me who went there, I would not be afraid at all." Princess Jin Yao said proudly, "It's just a few thieves and it's not a big deal. Chen Dan
Zhu, you have always claimed that you are brave, but it turns out you are just pretending."
That was because she knew there was something fishy about the third prince's recovery, so she was worried. Chen Danzhu smiled and admitted: "Yes, yes, I am timid, the princess and your highness are the most powerful."
The two chatted for a while, and Princess Jin Yao left the third prince in mind and said, "After all, I haven't seen him with my own eyes."
It's all the iron-faced general's fault. It's not too late to let her go in and take a look at the third prince before leaving the palace. She only cares about the hour and a half, Princess Jin Yao muttered.
Chen Danzhu saw her off. As soon as the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, they saw another car approaching and a waiter got out.
"Xiaoqu!" Chen Danzhu immediately recognized it and called out.
Xiao Qu, the eunuch of the third prince whom he had not seen for a long time, raised his head when he heard the call and responded, stepping forward to salute.
"Why are you here?" Princess Jin Yao asked hurriedly.
Xiaoqu was also surprised to see her: "The princess is here too. Your Highness asked me to tell Miss Danzhu that he is back. Due to some inconveniences, he cannot come to see her for the time being, but please don't worry Miss Danzhu."
"
Hearing what he said, Princess Jin Yao smiled, and Chen Danzhu also laughed. She smiled and thanked Xiao Qu: "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Your Highness. When it is convenient, I will go and see Your Highness."
Xiaoqu smiled and responded: "Then I'll leave first, I'm a little busy."
He is more than a little busy. Oh, really, what time has it been? His Highness is too nonsense and he can't stop it.
Chen Danzhu obviously knew this too and hurriedly urged: "Go quickly, go quickly."
Xiaoqu came and went in a hurry. Chen Danzhu watched him leave with a smile on his lips, but he thought that he shouldn't smile at this time, so he stopped in a hurry and turned around to see Princess Jinyao staring at her.
"What's wrong?" Chen Danzhu asked.
Princess Jin Yao said: "It's nothing, I just feel that my trip was in vain?"
Chen Danzhu smiled and hugged her arm: "Princess, you have seen me. Do I have no weight in your heart? Are you not happy to see me?"
Princess Jin Yao laughed and pushed her forehead with her hand: "Let go, I'm going back, I haven't eaten yet!"
Chen Danzhu didn't stay with her anymore. He sent her into the car with a smile and watched the carriage speed away.
Princess Jin Yao lifted the car curtain and saw the girl waving to the old woman at the tea shed, running over with her skirt in hand, and jumping for joy two or three times. She couldn't help but laugh. This guy even asked her, "Do I have any weight in your heart?"
None, aren’t you happy to see me?”
She should ask, "Which are you happier to see, me or Xiaoqu?"
Okay, that's good. This one is thinking about that, and that one is also thinking about this. Princess Jin Yao put her chin on her hand and smiled on the rickety car. She suddenly sat up straight again and stretched out her fingers to count——
Danzhu was worried about the third prince, so he went everywhere to inquire about him.
The third prince was worried about Danzhu, so he asked someone to send him news.
The iron-faced general grabbed her and asked her to leave the palace early in the morning to deliver the news. Who was he thinking about?
