Sima Huaibei saluted solemnly and arched his hand, "Your Majesty, the ministers are dedicated to guarding the frontier and have never moved their minds, I am afraid that they will live up to your good intentions." ”

"Huh?" Emperor Ji Wu looked at the concubine Niangniang suspiciously, and asked Sima Huaibei again, "Didn't the concubine Niangniang say ......?"

"Back to the emperor, probably because the ministers were not careful, so the concubine misunderstood!" Sima Huaibei responded.

"What's the matter?"

"A few days ago, the ancient song played by the minister was actually a score given by the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. As you know, Chan has always liked to collect these things, and when he was overjoyed, he gave the dagger that his mother left to Chancellor to the third lady as a return gift. Now that I think about it, this matter is indeed a lack of consideration by the minister, and I ask the concubine and the emperor to forgive the sin. “

Speaking of this, Sima Huaibei kowtowed deeply, and the moment he buried his head, he looked at Jinsu's gaze, and there was no longer the warmth of the past.

"Brother Huaibei~"

Anya couldn't help but stand up, looking at Sima Huaibei with tears in her eyes.

Emperor Ji Wu made a gesture towards An Yasheng, motioned for her to sit down, and said, "Huaibei, I think that you and Ya'er are very compatible, think about your flute sound and dancing last night, you are talented and beautiful, it is a match made in heaven!" It's not as good as ......."

The concubine Niangniang echoed and smiled, "Hehe, Huaibei, the emperor is right, the lord of Anping is innocent and romantic, and he has a childhood sweetheart friendship with you, the dagger thing, maybe your mother has a spirit in the sky, and she has chosen a lifelong lover for you!" ”

Sima Huaibei's face was full of sadness, and he insisted, "Your Majesty, the noble concubine, the county lord of Anping has a noble status, and the minister is a reckless man in the army, so he is really not qualified to talk about marriage with the county lord!" Moreover, the minister was willing to give the dagger to the county lord, also because he had always regarded the county lord as a little sister, and he had no children's personal feelings, so how could he talk about childhood sweethearts! If the minister accepts the emperor's marriage today, it is irresponsible to the county lord, and it is the real hurt to the county lord, I implore the emperor to think twice and choose another good person for the county lord! ”

These words, for An Yasheng, were like a bolt from the blue, he didn't care about any courtesy, righteousness and shame, took the dagger in his hand, and slowly walked to Sima Huaibei's side.

Emperor Ji Wu originally wanted to say something, but the concubine on the side called softly, "Your Majesty," and whispered a few words.

And beside the bonfire, Anya was like a pear blossom with rain in an instant, and Chu Chu asked pitifully, "Brother Huaibei~ What do you mean?" Don't you like Ya'er? ”

Sima Huaibei frowned, and turned his head away from looking at her, as if he would soften his heart when he looked at her.

An Yasheng handed the dagger over, "Brother Huaibei~ If you don't like Ya'er, why would you give me such a valuable thing?" ”

His Royal Highness the Prince, who was sitting on the side, suddenly interjected at this time, "Huaibei, since Ya'er has a deep love for you, why don't you ......"

But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sima Huaibei.

"The county lord, the dagger is given to you, it is really out of gratitude to you, there is no other intention, if you misunderstand, then Huaibei is here, let the county lord punish you! It's just a matter of marriage, and the minister can't agree! ”

He said it decisively, and there was no room for negotiation.

An Yasheng also knelt down, tears the size of beans fell down, and he lowered his posture and begged like never before, "Brother Huaibei, Ya'er has liked you since she was a child, and she swears that she will only marry you in this life!" ”

After a pause, he sobbed twice, and continued, "If you still like the woman next to you, Ya'er can also let her enter the mansion, Ya'er will definitely be a good wife and mother!" Brother Huaibei~"

"County Lord, I ......" Sima Huaibei wanted to speak and stopped, but finally swallowed back, and sighed weakly, "County Lord, why bother? ”

"Okay, okay, Ya'er, you sit back first, what kind of system is this!" Emperor Ji Wu's face was gloomy and he reprimanded.

An Yasheng saw that Sima Huaibei had never relented, and Emperor Ji Wu was unwilling to force his beloved general, so he was heartbroken, and forcefully put the dagger into Sima Huaibei's arms, crying and running away.

An Heqing stood up anxiously, and before he could speak, he heard Emperor Ji Wu say, "Ya'er is really too willful!" The princesses of Bime are also surpassed! ”

"The ministers have no way to discipline them, and ask the emperor to forgive them!" An Heqing said tremblingly.

Emperor Ji Wu ignored An Heqing, but asked Sima Huaibei, "The matter of marriage is over!" But I still have to fulfill my promise, Huaibei, tell me about it, but what do you want? ”

"The minister does have what he wants, but it is not a thing, but a truth!" Sima Huaibei said in a positive voice.

Emperor Ji Wu said suspiciously, "The truth? Then he looked at the crowd, "What truth?" ”

"The emperor can know that there are more people injured in the autumn this time, and it is not an accident!"

"It's not an accident, what does it mean? You get up and speak! Emperor Ji Wu commanded.

Sima Huaibei swept away the sad face just now, and said with a straight face, "That's because, in the paddock, there are suddenly countless traps!" If you accidentally step into it, it is inevitable that you will be injured, and if you don't hurt your life, you will be lucky! ”

Jin Su didn't expect that this matter would be exposed by Sima Huaibei in the end.

Looking at Feng Yao at this time, his deep eyes stared at Sima Huaibei, neither shocked nor cunning, as if this matter had nothing to do with him from beginning to end.

I don't know if Feng Yao realized that she was looking at him, and met her gaze without concealment. The moment they looked at each other, Jin Su looked like a thief had been caught, and he was a little weak-hearted, so he immediately looked away and stopped looking at him.

"Trap?" Emperor Ji Wu was puzzled, "What kind of trap, is it set up for hunting?" ”

"I don't know what this minister is, but in the trap, I did see some dead or dying prey. The minister felt quite strange, and asked several injured people, all of whom were injured in the trap. ”

As soon as Sima Huaibei's voice fell, Prince Oak couldn't sit still, and arched his hand indignantly, "Brother Huang, the younger brother has also found out about this matter, and the younger brother remembers that there were not so many traps when the autumn was fierce last year!" ”

"Father, the son thinks that in order to give everyone an explanation, this matter should indeed be thoroughly investigated!" The prince immediately got up and said in a heartfelt manner, if it weren't for Jin Su's already knowing the truth, maybe he would have been blinded by the prince's righteousness at this time.

"yes!"

"yes"

……

All of a sudden, many soldiers and children of the family echoed each other, and you and I described the traps you saw one by one, of course, there were many of them who exaggerated and added fuel and vinegar, and the traps were almost like purgatory on earth.

The more Emperor Ji Wu listened, the more angry he became, and he slapped the table suddenly, shaking the wine glass on the table and making a "clanging" sound, which made everyone quiet, and they didn't even dare to gasp.

At this time, Emperor Ji Wu also discovered that Feng Yao didn't say a word from beginning to end.

"Old eight, what do you think about the things on the paddock?"

Feng Yao got up and said calmly, "The trap is indeed suspicious, and Erchen noticed it yesterday." For this reason, Erchen also personally went to inquire about the guards stationed in the paddock on weekdays, but -----"

After a pause, Feng Yao continued, "But coincidentally, most of the guards who are now responsible for guarding the paddock were newly transferred a month ago, and the few people who stayed behind were either missing or died mysteriously just a few days ago, and there is no way to verify it!" ”

"What? There is such a thing!! Emperor Ji Wu was furious, as if his authority was threatened.

"The annual autumn festival is an important event of the royal family, and the sons are reluctant to tell their father the news, one is that they do not want to end the autumn festival and let their father and the soldiers disappoint. Second, Erchen has no more evidence, so he really doesn't dare to jump to conclusions! Feng Yao arched his hand and continued, "As soon as the morning dawned today, Erchen entered the forest again, and after encountering many traps, he finally found the code to identify the traps!" ”

"Cipher?"

Immediately afterward, Feng Yao explained everything about the trap, including how to identify the bird's nest in the pine tree, in great detail.

Jin Su had to admire, it turned out that he really knew everything, and forbearance did not mean that he swallowed his anger.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Liang Guogong probably didn't expect that Feng Yao would find out so clearly so quickly. In front of Emperor Ji Wu, he praised Feng Yao very much, and hated the person who did the trap, and also implored Emperor Ji Wu to find out the truth and give the injured soldiers an explanation.

Jin Su watched His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Liang Guogong sing and harmonize, acting very realistically, and couldn't help but sweat for Feng Yao.

"Third Lady ----!"

"Gone---!"

From afar, I heard someone shouting, but it was too noisy here, and I didn't hear it clearly, until I recognized that the person who was shouting was the maid who was following An Yasheng, and I heard what she said clearly, "The third lady is gone!" ”

The maid ran in, pounced on An Heqing and knelt down, panting and shouting, "The third young lady is gone, master." ”

"How could I not see it?" Emperor Ji Wu asked.

"The emperor asks you what to say, what do you know and say what!" An Heqing admonished.

The maid also knew some etiquette, and kowtowed to Emperor Ji Wu first, and then cried and told what happened.

After the third lady went back, she cried sadly for a while, and then she was tired of crying, and told the slave maid to get some food. But when the slave maid took the food and returned to the camp, she did not see the third lady. ”

"Have you searched all around the tent?" An Heqing asked eagerly.

"I found it, but I really couldn't find it!"

"Oh, this Ya'er, it's really ......" Emperor Ji Wu was already worried about the trap, but now that he knew that An Yasheng was like this, he was even more angry.

"Your Majesty, it's dark now, she's a woman, it's really not safe, even if you want to punish her, you have to find someone first~" The concubine persuaded her.

"Your Majesty, this matter started because of the minister, and the safety of the enclosure is the responsibility of the minister, and the minister is responsible!" Huaibei pleaded.

"Good! I believe in you! Old eight, together with Huaibei, you must find Ya'er! “

Feng Yao and Sima Huaibei responded in unison, "The minister is ordered!" ”

"The rest of the ladies and dependents all went back to their tents and were not allowed to go out if they had nothing to do! An Xiangguo, Liang Guogong, you two go to my camp! ”
