Chapter 584: Ambush
There was something she had to tell him.
After being silent for a long time, she softly agreed, "Well, it was indeed an accident, but the result of this accident was a bit serious, so the prince did not return to Beijing at all." ”
"You know that, right?"
With Mu Shaoxuan's official position, he was not qualified to participate in the early dynasty. Regarding the fact that the crown prince was sent by Emperor Chu to sweep the imperial tomb, it was not a big publicity, but some gossip was circulating.
And with Mu Shaoxuan's rigorous temperament, he would not have the heart to inquire about anything at all, which indirectly caused him to be in a state of ignorance of the current situation of the prince.
"I heard that he went directly from the Big Buddha Temple to another place?" Mu Shaoxuan's heart tightened inexplicably, "But does the prince's matter have anything to do with your return to the house now?" ”
The girl nodded slightly, "It's related, it's naturally related." She said casually, her delicate face was smiling, and her eyes were shining and clear, without any solemn panic.
She was silent, and smiled in an understated tone, "Because I have a share of credit for making this happen." ”
The girl looked at Mu Shaoxuan with sparkling eyes, so as not to worry too much, she had to tell him this in a relaxed tone as much as possible.
Mu Shaoxuan's handsome face really showed a faint look of surprise, and he thought silently for a while, and then cast his thoughtful eyes on the outstanding figure.
Even if Mu Shaoxuan is rigorous and introverted, this does not mean that he is just an elm head. The crown prince was sent to a foreign country by a holy decree, what does it mean, he is no longer familiar with officialdom, and he also knows the seriousness of the matter.
After thinking for a while, he suppressed his worries and asked, "Xiao Xiaozhi does it take about how long the prince has been in the field this time?" ”
The girl glanced at him, still in a calm and breezy tone, "Oh, it's not too long, if it goes well, it is estimated that he will be back in three months." ”
Mu Shaoxuan's heart suddenly jumped violently, "What if it doesn't go well?" ”
Mu Xiaofeng smiled softly, looking at the smile bright and gentle, but the corners of his eyes were faintly full of color. After a silence, she half-lowered her eyes, and her voice was still soft and beautiful, "It's not going well, he has to stay honestly until a year later according to the holy decree." ”
Perhaps, there will be no return after a year, and the girl turned her smart and cunning eyes, thinking badly.
Mu Shaoxuan's heart immediately jumped up, and he subconsciously glanced at her nervously, before he asked in a deep voice, "So Xiaoxiao is worried that she will encounter an ambush on the way back home after recovering from her illness this time?" ”
The girl looked at him with a smile, her eyes flashing with a plausible look of wisdom, but she did not answer him again.
After a night of worrying and tossing, he finally ushered in the shallow light of the skyline breaking through the black curtain.
"Qingruo, please come here for breakfast." After washing, Mu Xiaofeng ordered to go down as if nothing had happened.
After a pause, he said, "Let the eldest young master tell Imperial Doctor Liu that we will leave in an hour after breakfast." ”
Mu Shaoxuan and Mu Xiaofeng are brother and sister, so when people have breakfast together or something, Imperial Doctor Liu naturally has no opinion.
As for the time to go back, although it was a little later than scheduled, Imperial Doctor Liu thought that the Big Buddha Temple was only a little more than an hour away from Beijing, so he was not in a hurry and waited calmly.
Just when Mu Xiaofeng's brothers and sisters were having breakfast, His Royal Highness Liwang, who had been living in seclusion in the mountains behind the Big Buddha Temple, suddenly left in an extremely high-profile manner.
Of course, this high-profile does not mean that Chu Lige will put on a big show like other princes traveling.
But because when he left, he left in his low-key luxury but extremely ostentatious agarwood carriage.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, when he left, because it was still early, there were not many pilgrims up the mountain. But when he got into the car, it seemed that a gust of wind came over, and the interior of his spacious and comfortable carriage was revealed.
This gust of wind just satisfied the curiosity of the few pilgrims.
Chu Lige had a cold face in a low-key envious gaze and discussion, and got into the carriage and threw down the curtain.
When the carriage reached the foot of the mountain smoothly, at a turn with a poor view, the agarwood carriage, which was walking steadily, suddenly rolled down from the bottom of the car.
If you look closely, you can see that it is a person. To be exact, he was still a eunuch with his eyes closed and seemed to have passed out completely.
After the eunuch rolled down, he cleverly rolled into the grass beside the road.
Zhang Hua looked around cautiously, then patted the non-existent dust on his hands, and then continued to sit down with that grinning and round face.
"Master, it's done."
Inside the carriage, there was silence. Zhang Hua only looked at the blurred shadow behind the curtain, and seemed to see the figure sitting straight at the end and seemed to nod.
Zhang Hua's bright eyes were hidden vigilant, he sat next to the coachman, seemingly half-lowered eyes were napping, but in fact, he had been secretly on high alert.
He remembered the eunuch who had just fallen into the grass, and when he looked at his friendly round face on weekdays, his expression was faintly strange.
Because the eunuch was robbed by him half an hour ago, he also found a holy decree from the eunuch.
Of course, he just took it out and looked at the contents, and then stuffed the decree back.
The content of the holy decree is very simple, that is, Xuan Chu leaves the song and leaves the Great Buddha Temple immediately after seeing the decree.
Chu Lige asked him to knock people unconscious and then throw them in the grass, just to delay the reading of this holy decree.
In the Great Buddha Temple, Imperial Doctor Liu and the other people who went to greet Mu Xiaofeng secretly pinched a cold sweat when Chu Lige left suddenly.
Fortunately, it was confirmed that Chu Lige was just leaving alone, and the Mu family brothers and sisters were still having breakfast together.
"Are you sure they're still packing up?" Imperial Doctor Liu was ordered to see Mu Xiaofeng, but there was a royal guard accompanying him, who came with Emperor Chu's secret decree, and the focus was on Mu Xiaofeng. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you want to confirm it with your own eyes?" ”
It was the monk of the Big Buddha Temple who quietly came to report the news to him, probably knowing that his identity was not simple, and seeing his serious tone, he immediately said a little nervously, "Yes, the poor monk saw them in and out of the courtyard with his own eyes. ”
Chu Lige's swaggering agarwood carriage was walking unhurriedly on the road at the moment.
The Big Buddha Temple is built halfway up the mountain, but it is not close to the official road.
Although Chu Lige has reached the foot of the mountain, there is still some distance from the official road, and before reaching the official road, there is only one mountain road that is far away from the Big Buddha Temple.
Although the mountain road is not narrow, it is still more rugged and difficult than the official road in the mountains.
Therefore, Chu Lige's speed along the way is not fast.
Just when they walked to a mountain road that was not in good condition, Zhang Hua, who had been squinting and napping, suddenly burst out with a vigilant cold glow in his eyes.
