Looking at the posture of the prince turning over things, this is not to stop if he finds out his mother's identity, Minglan glanced at Chu Li.

Chu Li shook his head and asked Minglan not to speak.

The things in this storehouse, he and the prince have seen it, there is nothing special, and the father is turning it upside down, and it is useless.

Minglan didn't speak, but there were two more people in the secret room, and Minglan was also very diligent in helping to clean up, so the speed of the prince turning things over was faster, no, he turned out the painting and threw it on the ground.

Minglan silently picked it up and rolled it up, these are all priceless genuine works, just throw them away, it's really ...... Underwhelmed.

After rolling up a few paintings, the prince threw another one.

That painting made Minglan's eyes condense.

The painting shows a woman.

A fairy, to be exact.

Under the bright moon, the fairy's face was covered with a faint layer of tulle, standing barefoot on the lotus, and the fingertips were touched by flames, elegant and dusty.

Minglan stood a little farther away, and the flame in her eyes was the same as the flame birthmark on her forehead.

Minglan's heart was shocked, she walked over quickly and picked up the painting.

Looking at the woman on the painting, Minglan's shocked eyes widened, he looked at Chu Li, and when he saw him, Minglan pointed to the painting in his hand.

Chu Li smiled, "If you like it, take it." ”

The painting was so beautiful that she liked it.

But what she wants to say is that nine times out of ten, the painting on this painting is the prince's own mother.

Just looking at this painting, just think about the legendary immortal who painted it, and no one will think about mortals.

There are some words that should not be said in front of the prince, Minglan rolled up the painting, put it aside, and then continued to clean it up.

The prince searched through it, but found nothing, and seeing that Chu Li hadn't left, he asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"

Chu Li said lightly, "Zhao Ming has something important to tell and is waiting outside the study." ”

"You dispose of it," the prince didn't care about anything else.

Chu Li said, "I can't control this matter. ”

Although he is the son of the king, there are some things that he really can't manage.

The prince looked at Chu Li twice, and knew that the situation was serious, so he stepped out of the study.

Minglan continued to clean up, and Chu Li called out to her, "Go back and let the dark guard clean up and go out." ”

Minglan picked up the painting and followed Chu out of the secret room.

Waiting for the door of the secret room to close, Chu Li called Zhao Ming to come in.

The prince probably turned over for a long time, and he was a little thirsty, so he drank all the cold tea on the desk.

Zhao Ming entered the house, first saluted, and then said.

It all started with him and Gu She's pursuit of the assassin, and that day, the assassin sneaked into the barracks and assassinated Gu She, who was discovered by him.

The army camp besieged the Assassins, who fled for their lives, knowing that their whereabouts were revealed and that it would be difficult for them to succeed.

They went to suppress the bandits for a long time, and the mountain was captured early, but it was not the bandits they wanted to suppress.

These martial artists are.

In this way, when he returned to Beijing to restore his life, as soon as he turned back and left, the assassins continued to come out to rob their homes, which was to deceive the saints, not to mention meritorious, and maybe they would be punished.

This is also the reason why Gu Shi has not come back for a long time, and he does not dare to come back.

Now that it's hard to show up, how can I let it go.

More than half of the officers and soldiers went to chase the assassin, but Gu Shi and Zhao Ming did not.

As a result, as soon as the officers and soldiers left, another group of assassins came, and there were more than a dozen of them, killing people like numbness, with knives falling in their hands, and rivers of blood flowing.

It's okay for these officers and soldiers to kill ordinary people, but against the assassin, they can really only rely on the number of people to drag the assassin to exhaustion, and then kill him.

Zhao Ming was responsible for protecting Gu She, and killing the assassin was secondary, so he escorted Gu Shi to escape.

The Assassins pursued after him.

Well, it's not like the assassin is missing, it's obviously being chased by the assassin......

The situation at that time was dangerous, and Zhao Ming was afraid when he thought about it.

Not much to say about the chase, Zhao Ming and Gu Shi fled for their lives and got on a boat, which was full of men, strong and strong, mixed in it, but it was not conspicuous, but the people on the boat surprised him a little.

Gu Shi had been in the army, and before the ship left, he found that these people were all soldiers, but they were wearing ordinary clothes and were a little puzzled.

Gu Shi asked the soldiers, "Where are we going?"

The soldiers said, "I don't know, the general took a fancy to our strong body and let us go on a secret mission, and the others didn't ask much, hey, why did you come all the way and see that you were so new?"

Gu Shi was afraid of revealing the stuffing in his heart, so he nodded and said, "Just got on the boat." ”

The soldier also pinched his shoulder and said, "Much stronger than me, how many years have you been in the army?"

"I've been here for seven or eight years. ”

There was a chat without a match, but it didn't arouse suspicion.

got on the ship, escaped the pursuit of the assassins, but could not get off the ship, and spent a day and a night on the ship for fear of being discovered, before docking.

I was going to leave, but as soon as I got to the shore, I was taken away, and I had no chance to escape.

They arrived in Chongzhou.

Barely stopped, he was taken to a mine.

They're either on a secret mission or mining.

Speaking of this, the prince's forehead frowned, "I don't remember what mines there are in Chongzhou?"

Chongzhou is the first prince, that is, the fief of the king of Jin, after the emperor ascended the throne, the king of Jin was posthumously crowned, because the princess of Jin was still there, and she was still pregnant with flesh and blood in her belly at that time.

Chongzhou is in many states and counties in Dazhou, which can only be regarded as middle and upper, and the important thing is that there are no mines.

The emperor took a fancy to this point, so he gave Chongzhou to the king of Jin.

Zhao Ming said, "It's an iron mine, and there are eight or nine hundred people in the mine who are mining, and they are all the strongest soldiers transferred from various military camps. ”

Gu Shi also knew that there were no mines in Chongzhou, so it was even more curious that so many people were mining.

They could have escaped, but they stayed a few more days to find out.

The ore was pulled to smelt iron and make weapons.

And before, in order to hide people's eyes, there were not so many people mining, and in recent months, there have been more and more.

The mine guards are strict, and if you want to escape, you must be startled, knowing such a big secret in Chongzhou, you don't know how you will be hunted down.

Zhao Ming and Gu Shi could only pretend to be dead and escaped only after being carried to a mass grave.

The prince's expression was solemn, Chongzhou found iron ore, but concealed it and did not report it, smelting iron privately, manufacturing weapons, plotting against him, and making weapons privately, it was already a capital crime.

"What does the Queen Mother want to do?" the prince frowned.

Zhao Ming said, "Second Master Gu said that most of the soldiers were transferred from Mingzhou. ”

Zhao Ming doesn't understand the powerful relationship in this, although his martial arts are good, he is a hunting inside.

But the prince's face changed.

Minnesota

A year ago, a plague broke out in the Shangshu military camp in Mingzhou, killing more than 5,000 soldiers.

Who would have thought that those soldiers did not die, but were "transported" to Chongzhou to mine and practice.
