Chapter 430: There is no successor
Lin Wan finally understood that Ah Sheng wanted to use this way to lure these pursuers away. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info However, if he was caught up by Lan Ziheng, how could Lan Ziheng let him go?
The sound of carriages and horses' hooves was far away, and the mountains, woods, and paths were so blurred in the moonlight. Lin Wan's tears had hazy her eyes, and she didn't know what to do? Do you continue to hide here? Or leave here? Where should she go if she leaves here?
Lin Wan closed his eyes vigorously, squeezed the tears out of his eyes, then wiped them away fiercely, stood up, and walked along the path by the Fengli River and the river, in the direction where Ah Sheng left. She wanted to go and see how Ah Sheng was doing, was he caught by Lan Ziheng?
I don't know how long I walked, but two roads appeared in front of me, one was the way up the mountain, circling around the mountain on the right. The other road has been along the Fengli River and continues forward.
Ah Sheng abandoned the carriage at the foot of the mountain, but no one was seen. Thinking about it, he led Lan Ziheng and the others to the mountain. Looking further up, the horses of the guards were also tied to the trunks of the trees on the side of the mountain road.
Lin Wanzheng hesitated, should he go up the mountain, or should he find another place to hide?
Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps and low conversations from the mountains, from far and near. Listening to the footsteps, it seemed that there were four or five people coming down from the mountain.
Lin Wan cautiously walked towards a dark corner, quietly squatted down behind a big tree, held his breath, and secretly looked out.
It didn't take long for those people to reach the foot of the mountain. A voice complained as he walked: "That kid is so cunning, he ran to the mountain and disappeared." ”
"Hmph, no matter how cunning it is, it's useless! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led people to search, and asked us to go back and find someone to search the mountain. As soon as the day dawned, he had nothing to hide. Another voice smirked.
"Okay, you go back and inform Commander Qiu. Here the four of us are on guard, and see where the boy can escape!" After a while, a neighing sound was heard, and one of the guards rode down the mountain path and galloped away in the direction from which they had come.
Lin Wan hid motionless behind the big tree, frowning and thinking, if he waited for dawn, he really couldn't run away.
The four guards were divided into two groups, and two of them stood guard at the foot of the mountain, next to the carriage driven by Ah Sheng. The other two were standing by the mountain road, not far from Lin Wan's hideout.
Nearby, two guards talked in a whisper, albeit a small voice. But the mountains were silent, and the distance was not far, and Lin Wan could hear it clearly.
A younger guard sighed and said, "This time, Xu Dajunshi is going to be unlucky, and the general will definitely not let him go." He let go of the hostages without permission, which was equivalent to killing General Hong Er. ”
Another slightly older guard also chimed in: "Yes, although the general has always valued the army of Xu, if General Hong dies because of this, the general will have no successor." ”
The young guard lowered his voice a little and said, "Do you know that I have long heard that although the general's eldest son, Hong Chengtian, is in the history of the commander-in-chief of Kyoto, he has long been inhumane because he was looking for flowers and willows in his early years and suffered from that unsightly disease. General Hong Er has also been in the army all the year round and has no heirs so far. Therefore, the general is now nearly sixty years old, but he does not have a grandson. After this, I'm afraid ......"
The older guard pretended to be mysterious and said, "Hehe, you have been with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a short time, and there are some things you don't know yet." The general actually has an illegitimate child, but now I don't know where. ”
The young guard was very surprised and asked, "How can such a thing happen? What kind of person is the great general, how can he let his heirs be left behind? Why didn't the great general take his women and children into the great general's mansion? Could it be that the general's wife did not allow it?"
The older guard hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's not all because of the general's wife. I heard that the woman's status is extremely low, and she is a big sealer. I'm afraid you don't know that there is an unwritten rule in our dynasty that important officials in the DPRK are not allowed to marry women from the great feudal state. Even if she accepts a woman from a large feudal country as a concubine, she must not be allowed to give birth to a child, and she must not be confused with the blood of the nobles of South Vietnam. ”
The young guard suddenly realized, "I see. The woman had already given birth to a child, and if the general wanted to take the woman into the general's mansion, he could only deal with the child first. If the general wants to keep the children, he can only keep them outside. ”
The older guard hurriedly interrupted him and warned, "You can't spread this word, you won't blame me for not warning you when the time comes." ”
"Yes, yes, brother, where do I have the courage to spread the gossip of the general. That is, our brothers and sons have nothing to do to talk about it, and then we all act as if we have never heard anything, and have not said anything, how can it be spread?" the young guard hurriedly said.
The woods suddenly fell silent, and Lin Wan secretly thought in his heart that if General Hongqiong was really worried that he would have no successor, he would definitely not kill Xu Nuo. After listening to their conversation, Lin Wan felt a little more relieved.
The young guard seemed to admire Xu Nuo very much, and said with some concern: "I heard that Xu Dajun is also from a civilian background, and it is not easy to have today's achievements and status, but I didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, and now my future is ruined." ”
The old guard also sighed and said, "Actually, you can't blame Master Xu, he doesn't know the little demon girl, and he has been poisoned by the little demon girl, how can he not listen to the little demon girl and take her away?
The young guard said again: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always treated Xu Dajun with great courtesy, and this time he did not embarrass him, but just asked Commander Qiu to personally escort him back to the barracks and hand him over to the general to dispose of. Perhaps, Xu Dajun is resourceful and has a way to save himself. ”
"Well, I hope so. The old guard echoed lightly, paused, and said, "You watch carefully, I'll rest for a while, and I'll change you later." ”
The young guard hurriedly replied, "Okay, don't worry." ”
There was silence again, Lin Wan didn't want to sit still, slowly approached the two guards, and then took advantage of the gust of river wind to cover his mouth and nose, and sprinkled a handful of medicinal powder in the direction of the two guards.
Lin Wan didn't know if he could be sprinkled at such a distance, so he could only gamble.
Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good, and after a while, the two of them had fallen to the ground.
Lin Wan quietly walked down the mountain again, slowly approaching the other two guards, trying to stun them in the same way. (To be continued.) )
