Detection of piracy! Layer after layer of people stood outside the mountain, and when they saw the mountain fire, even though they knew that it was a trap that they had laid a long time ago, they still frightened many people. One by one, the soldiers looked up at the smoke rising from the mountain, standing in place and not daring to move, while the officials outside retreated little by little, their faces changed a lot, and they made a gesture to protect the prince behind them.

So, the prince and Lu Shuo stood on a towering mountainside from a long distance, looking up and listening to the movement inside, as for the soldiers who were brought in by General Pang to place iron buckets and dig trenches, they did not come out in the end.

After burning for a while, seeing that there was no movement inside, only the sound of crackling dry wood burning could be heard, and the people outside couldn't help muttering, and they all guessed whether Lu Houye had misjudged.

Lu Shuo is not deaf, he naturally listens to the discussions of these people, but seeing that the prince has not moved, he naturally does not move.

However, the governor of Yuzhou frowned, turned to look at Lu Shuo and said: "Lord Lu, it's not that the official said you, this is something that has not been verified, you just take it upon yourself to give such an order, in case there is no traitor in the city, didn't you burn a mountain in vain?

Lu Shuoxin said that you didn't say it when I brought people here, but you only said this when you saw that the mountain fire was going on now, isn't this an afterthought?

He was about to refute, but the prince frowned coldly, turned his head to look at Yuzhou Zhizhou and said, "It's the idea of this palace, what's the matter, Lord Qian has objections?"

There seemed to be a knife shooting out of that eye, Qian Zhizhou never expected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to protect Marquis Lu like this, even though his face was red, facing the cold light in his eyes, he trembled and said: "Xiaguan...... The lower officials did not dare to disagree......"

Before the word "just" could be said, the prince turned his head again, didn't look at him again, and said coldly: "Then close your mouth, and say less what you shouldn't say." ”

At this moment, he didn't dare to speak at all, and suddenly took a step back, who knew that the mountain road was bumpy, and he stumbled suddenly, if it wasn't for the officials behind him to support him, he would almost lose his honor.

Lu Shuo, as a party concerned, watched this scene from the sidelines, with a bit of complexity in his heart, and glanced at the prince before turning his head.

He stood silently for a while, and suddenly there was a movement in front of him, and a group of people came out of the mountain pass intermittently, and it was dark that he could not see clearly, so the prince said, "Go and have a look." ”

A group of people surrounded him, and when he got closer, Lu Shuo glanced at it, and in addition to those soldiers, he saw several people dressed in black, all embarrassed, probably smoked, and one of them was the most eye-catching, panting, and was being carried forward by two soldiers.

Lu Shuo was suddenly overjoyed, and then General Pang stepped forward and said, "Back to Your Highness, twelve people have been arrested, and more than half of the soldiers are still left, waiting for you to show them." ”

"You're good, go and do your own thing!" After General Pang left, he instructed the guards: "Hold these twelve people well, be careful, don't let them die on the way." ”

The guards were ordered to take these people down, and the prince turned his back with a smile and continued to look at Qi Shan with thick smoke, and the officials behind him saw this result, and they all looked at each other, only the Lord Qian's face turned into a pig's liver color, but at this time, no one paid attention to him.

After waiting for another half an hour or so, General Pang brought out five more people, two dressed as guards, and an old man and two young children over a year old.

Su Cheng was nowhere to be seen.

However, Lu Shuo was overjoyed and recognized the old man: "It's you?"

The old man glared at Lu Shuo and the crown prince, he was no one else, it was Uncle Zhong, who often followed Su Cheng, only to take a sip, and then the soldier covered his mouth.

Lu Shuo didn't care, turned his head to look at the prince and said: "Your Highness, this old dog, like Ah Shu, is serving Su Cheng closely, in previous years, when he was down, he had these two with him, if Su Cheng was still alive, he must still be in this valley." ”

The prince nodded, but his eyes were fixed on the two young children.

Lu Shuo then turned his head to look over, his eyes widened, and said, "Could it be that these two are the sons of the traitor?"

Hearing this, the hatred on Uncle Zhong's face was even heavier, Lu Shuo didn't bother to pay attention to him, turned his head to look at the prince, and saw that he had already given an order to detain these two children alone.

When Uncle Zhong was furious, he called "little master" in his mouth.

After waiting for a while, the sky was darker again, and it seemed that it was almost time, but there was no good news in the mountain.

General Pang came out with people and persuaded the prince: "Your Highness, there is no movement in the mountains at the moment, and the time is not early, if you can trust Weichen, then hand over this place to Weichen." ”

When Lu Shuo heard this, he looked at the scene in the sky, the moon and the middle of the sky, and also comforted: "General Pang is right, it is still uncertain whether Su Cheng is still alive, with General Pang taking care of him, it is no problem to besiege for a few more days, His Royal Highness has a golden body, it is better to rest as soon as possible, and you can also interrogate those few rebels who were caught early tomorrow morning." ”

After that, he turned his head to look at the officials who couldn't help but yawn, and said apologetically: "Your Excellency, you have also worked hard. ”

These adults are not like Qian Zhizhou, they know how many catties and taels they have, and they can't afford Lu Shuo's hard work, so they waved their hands and said that it was not hard, and the prince on the side thought carefully for a while, and then said to Lu Shuo: "Okay, let's go back to the house first, Fengxian, and I'll leave it to you here." ”

Fengxian is the word of General Pang, and he immediately gave it up.

The prince and a group of bureaucrats dispersed, and hurried all the way, and when he returned to the county seat, the sky was already white.

The seventeen men were kept in cells by the soldiers, and the two children were guarded by special people, three floors inside and three floors outside, and unless all of them had the ability to go to heaven and earth, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape.

The prince and his entourage didn't close their eyes all night, and after arranging these rebels, they simply had some food, and then went back to the room separately, Lu Shuo thought that the night was so late, Yuan Wenyi was afraid that he should have gone to bed a long time ago, so he didn't go back to the backyard, and rested directly in the study in the front yard for a night, thinking about the prince's attitude in the past few days, he couldn't help but be blind in his heart, thinking that he fell asleep alone.

On the second day, he was woken up by Qingquan, and when he woke up, the sky was already bright, and when Lu Shuo washed up, Qingquan ordered someone to bring food, and then said: "General Pang sent someone over early in the morning, and he besieged it all night last night, and he didn't catch anyone." ”

Lu Shuo's hand picked up the vegetables, and then returned to normal.

As a result, he had a hunch yesterday, although the two children had not grown up, they looked very similar to Su Cheng, thinking that they were biological, leaving the children and running away alone, according to common sense, it was not something that a father would do.

Even if Su Cheng is a person who does big things.

Those who do great things are at the juncture of being at a loss of ground, so they should pay more attention to their children.
