Chapter 596: Trouble
The right minister of a country, high and powerful, of course, is not something that anyone can see if they want to, there is nothing wrong with the guards, the prince of Chu also smiled slightly, and then took out his personal jade pendant from his arms, and handed it to the guards. ”
He knew very well that if he continued to be entangled like this, he would only be beaten with sticks by the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it would be better to show his identity directly!
Sure enough, as soon as he finished saying this, the guard's eyes immediately widened, took the jade pendant, and said in a daze: "You, you are the prince of Chu State?" ”
"Exactly, just like a fake!" Prince Chu Zhengse said.
"Then, then you wait, I, I'll go and report to the prime minister." The guard stammered, and then glanced at Prince Chu up and down, although he was suspicious, but this jade pendant was indeed extraordinary, and it also made him go to report to Xue Huairen with a suspicious attitude.
At this time, Xue Huairen, not long after returning from the court, after hearing the guard's report, he immediately stood up from his chair and said in a condensed voice: "What did you say!?" The other party said that he was the prince of Chu!? ”
"Yes, yes, Xiangye, my subordinates are not sure, but the man said that there is a token as evidence." The guard said, and also handed over the jade pendant of Prince Chu.
At that time, the royal jade pendant had a unique pattern, which was a symbol of identity, Xue Huairen was the right minister of the Wind Country, what did he not understand? After taking it, he only glanced at it, and immediately asked, "Where is this person now?" ”
"I'm waiting at the gate." The guard replied.
Hearing this, Xue Huairen didn't say anything more, but began to walk directly and quickly towards the gate of the mansion.
He hurriedly walked and soon arrived at the gate of the mansion, and saw a young man in coarse linen outside the door, Xue Huairen immediately greeted him, rubbed his hands, and bowed slightly to the other party, saying, "Dare to ask what the foot is"
"Prince of Chu, I've seen Xue Xiang." Prince Chu also hurriedly bowed his hand.
When the two sides met for the first time, the etiquette was in place, and after hearing that Prince Chu reported to his family, Xue Huairen did not doubt that he had him, and while returning the jade pendant to the latter, he also hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, please." ”
"Lord Xue, please." Of course, Prince Chu knows how to be polite, and after the two of them arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, they served tea in the living room and sat down as guests. After that, Xue Huairen asked straight to the point: "I don't know how the prince of Chu is in this Fengzhou, as far as the old man knows, the current Chu country has been inherited by the prince, and the old man thought that His Royal Highness the prince had suffered an accident." ”
"What!?" Hearing this, Prince Chu was shocked, these days, he has been avoiding pursuit and killing on the one hand, and rushing to Fengzhou on the other, moreover, Xue Huairen can know about the court of Chu, of course it is impossible for the people to know so quickly, therefore, this news has not reached the ears of Prince Chu.
Now hearing Xue Huairen say this, Prince Chu seemed to understand something, his eyes widened, and he said faintly after a while: "I understand, it turns out that the person who chased and killed me was premeditated. ”
"Oh? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was hunted down? Xue Huairen asked in a condensed voice.
"Yes, Xue Xiang, please be sure to help!" Prince Chu directly began to give a salute.
Seeing this, Xue Huairen hurriedly put down the teacup and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't need to be polite, if there is anything that needs the old man's help, but it doesn't matter." ”
Xue Huairen is the right minister of the Wind Country, and today the Prince of Chu suddenly visited, to put it mildly, it was a matter of state affairs, and he was also very aware of the importance of the Chu State to the Wind Country now, so it was natural that the Prince of Chu would have more etiquette.
When the latter heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and continued: "There is only one request in Xia, and I also ask Xue Xiangneng to bring him into the palace and meet his aunt below!" ”
"Your aunt?" Xue Huairen was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted, and suddenly said: "Oh, it's the princess, the old man understands, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can rest assured, when do you need to enter the palace?" ”
"Naturally, the sooner the better." Prince Chu said.
"Alright, let's go now." Xue Huairen said a word, and then seemed to remember something, and said, "By the way, His Highness said that he was chased and killed, but the assassin has already chased him to Fengzhou?" ”
When Prince Chu heard this, he thought for a while and said, "I'm not very sure about this, but presumably, even if they are not here, they should be almost there." ”
Xue Huairen nodded and said, "The stakes are very high, just in case, it's better to be careful." ”
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Prince Chu to say anything, he already raised his voice and shouted: "Someone!" ”
After a while, a subordinate walked in, and Shi Li said, "What does the master command?" ”
"Go tell Steward Xue and let him go to the Secret Guard Mansion in person, and let Master Chen Fang Chen come to see me." Xue Huairen said directly.
"Yes." The subordinate answered, bowed and retreated.
And hearing the name of the Dark Guard Mansion, Prince Chu also understood what Xue Huairen meant, and couldn't help but hurriedly said gratefully: "Xue Xiang has thought it through, thank you very much!" ”
"Huh? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is too polite. Xue Huairen waved his hand.
Now, the new King of Chu is the prince, and the Prince of Chu is in Fengzhou, this kind of thing is already obvious, if nothing else, after the Prince of Chu has found Princess Shaoyang, the king will definitely support the Prince of Chu to regain the throne! Therefore, Xue Huairen had to think about it thoroughly!
He didn't want Prince Chu to have an accident in Fengzhou before he entered the palace!
The Dark Guard Mansion is not very far from here, and after the housekeeper of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion ran away in person, he learned that Xue Huairen was looking for him, and Chen Fang had a deputy leader, how could he dare to snub the Right Minister, so he hurriedly rushed over.
After he arrived at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, he first saluted Xue Huairen, and then before he could open his mouth to ask, Xue Huairen had already pointed to the Prince of Chu and said directly: "This is the Prince of Chu, now, the Prime Minister is going to enter the palace with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to meet the king, and in Fengzhou, I am afraid that there are already many Qingguo assassins lurking now, Lord Chen, do you understand the meaning of the true appearance?" ”
When Chen Fang heard this, he was startled at first! Fengzhou is the capital, and now there are Qingguo masters lurking in, so it's okay!? He hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan understands!" Please rest assured, Lord Xue and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the lower officials will go out to arrange! ”
"Yes." Xue Huairen nodded and said, "If possible, capture this group of assassins and punish them severely!" ”
"No!" Chen Fang said in a shocking voice, and then took the order and left.
And with the protection of the Secret Guard Mansion, Xue Huairen and Prince Chu also immediately left the Right Minister's Mansion and began to walk towards the palace.
The other side.
The master of the Qingwei Battalion came to report and said to Ling Nan: "My lord, it's just a little bit closer, and we will catch up with that kid!" But, but now, he has entered the Right Prime Minister's Mansion of the Wind Country! ”
"What a nuisance!" When Ling Nan heard this, his brows immediately furrowed.
