Chapter 306: You Must Not Lose
"That's right, the posture outside the Marquis Anle's Mansion is no less than the Imperial Forest Army outside the Marquis An's Mansion, and it can be said that even a fly is not allowed to enter or exit! This is obviously not to let His Highness know anything! Another aide said indignantly.
The more the eldest prince thought about it, the more anger in his chest grew, "It seems that this Anle Hou Mansion is really not simple!" They must have something very important in their hands, otherwise King Cheng and the second child would not join forces to defend the palace! ”
The staff was stunned when he heard this, frowned and said, "Your Highness, King Cheng and the Second Prince should be guarding against all those who try to approach the Anle Hou Mansion, those two groups of people are working separately, not joining forces. ”
"Of course Hongu knows that they can't join forces! What this palace is worried about is, what is in this Anle Hou Mansion? King Cheng and the second child attach so much importance to it! What's wrong with our people? It's been so long and you haven't found out? The eldest prince asked with anger suppressed.
"Your Highness, the Anle Marquis Mansion has been quiet for more than ten years, and there have been no incidents, and they are all ordinary managers, so it is naturally more difficult to investigate than those big people!" The staff said cautiously.
The eldest prince flicked his sleeves angrily and scolded, "This palace doesn't listen to these reasons!" What King Cheng and the second child know, this palace must also know! If you can't find out, you're incompetent! Now that it's the most critical time, Hongu must not lose! ”
"Yes! Subordinates understand! The staff sighed inwardly.
"Since King Cheng and the second child sent someone to Anle Hou's Mansion, then let's send someone too! Prevent King Cheng and the second child's hands from entering! Since I can't see it, then none of them want to see it! The eldest prince snorted coldly and turned to leave.
In the Anle Hou Mansion, Mu Bo and others were deliberating.
"There is news from Changzhong that the border situation in Wanzhou is smoother than we imagined, and the three officials sent by the imperial court are holding each other back, but they have done some practical things." Mr. Liu held a letter in his hand and said to Mu Bodao.
"Yes! Are the people settled? Mu Bo nodded, took the letter, touched his beard and asked.
"Yes, the people who stayed in Wanzhou City have basically been settled, as for those who fled the famine...... It's not too bad to be able to come to the capital alive, and the others ......" Mr. Liu paused and did not continue.
He doesn't say it, and the people know it. Most of the others, I'm afraid, died on the way to escape the famine.
In addition to those who starved to death, more people were robbed of money and food and dumped in the wilderness. And those who rob others will be robbed by others again, so cannibalistic that there are only a handful of people who can really escape to the next city.
Mu Bo sighed, "Human nature is like this, in order to keep yourself alive, you can do anything. After a pause, Mu Bo changed the topic and asked Steward Lin, "Have all the people outside the mansion withdrawn?" ”
"Yes! King Cheng and the two princes each sent a group of people to 'protect' us, where do we need our own people? Steward Lin sneered.
"However, they can't get any news from us, and they will definitely go to trouble the young lady again!" Uncle Zhang said a little anxiously.
"Nope! Just like now, they hold each other down, and no one comes to disturb us, and no one can get close to it, Miss! Mu Bo said lightly to reassure.
Uncle Zhang's mood was still irritable, and he said eagerly, "Maybe there is no one in the short term, but after a long time, wait for them to come back to their senses......"
"It won't wait until then! Soon, they'll be busy with something else! Mu Bo said in a deep voice.
