After Yao Fusu led the Jiangnan Navy to clean up all the water bandits in Yunmengze, the anger in his heart was slightly relieved, and he ordered the squad to return to the camp.

The warship cleaved the waves on Yunmengze, and the warship that could not be seen at a glance was enough to make any water bandit flee in despair, although the 30,000 people set out to fight with great momentum, but they also failed to catch a real Jinfan thief.

On the boat, Su Ziheng asked differently: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean by this?" ”

Yao Fusu had a mysterious smile on his face, "Ziheng, do you want to ask me why I want to sweep Yun Mengze with such fanfare knowing that I can't catch the Jinfan thief, right?" ”

Su Ziheng nodded and said: "That's true, this expedition, except for catching and killing some thieves who are not in the stream, we have not gained any substantial benefits, so it is really not cost-effective to work so hard." ”

"Hehe," Yao Fusu sneered, "Ziheng, you don't know anything, who told you that we would get nothing from this trip?" You'll find out when you get back to camp. ”

Su Ziheng was confused when he heard it, but Yao Fusu refused to explain it to him, so he had to put down the doubts in his heart, anyway, this matter is only a day's journey from the camp, so he is not in a hurry at this moment.

"Alas, I don't know what happened to Qing'er? I hope she will be in better health, and when she returns to the barracks, we will almost return to Beijing, and I don't know when we will be able to see you Ziheng again in the future. This trip is really thanks to you, and I will remember it. Yao Fusu Chong Su Ziheng hugged his fist.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't have to be so polite, you and I have a friendship, and we can be regarded as friends. Even if I know that my friend is in trouble, I will travel thousands of miles to help. Su Ziheng said with a smile.

After getting along with each other for a while, he found that Yao Fusu was actually a very talkative person, unlike other princes and nobles who would look down on people.

"As for the crown princess, you don't have to worry too much, there are 20,000 troops of the Jiangnan Navy guarding it, and my personal maid guarding it, so the safety should be fine."

"Humph! Ziheng, Lone found that your beauty is not shallow, no matter where you are, there will be such a beautiful woman by your side. It seems that you like women very much, do you want to give you the book alone? Yao Fusu didn't know why, and suddenly said unhappily.

"Huh?" Su Ziheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't be joking, Su doesn't have such a unique hobby." This woman also made Qinghan and Wan'er unhappy for a long time, if you take three more back, I'm afraid the family will really be uneasy. ”

Don't look at Zhong Qinghan and Zhao Wan'er's generosity, and even said that they would let their maids serve them, but if they really don't know what to do, and desperately take the woman back home, their fate will definitely be miserable.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Ziheng to be such a fearful person." Yao Fusu laughed.

Su Ziheng pursed his lips, "I'm not afraid of guilt, but I don't like women who don't have feelings to be together." Besides, who are you to say about me? As far as I know, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is just a woman of the Crown Princess, if you want to say that you are afraid of the inside, aren't you more afraid of the inside than me. ”

Yao Fusu had an embarrassed expression on his face, and hurriedly defended: "That's different, it's because it's ...... Because ......"

Because for a long time, he couldn't say a specific reason.

Su Ziheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, you don't have to find any more reasons to explain." I know that you are not afraid of guilt, but because you care too much, you can't bear to be sad about her, which is the performance of a good man. ”

Yao Fusu nodded again and again when he heard this: "That's right, what you said is very right, Lone is because he cares about Qing'er too much and can't bear her to be sad, so he doesn't want to accept concubines anymore." ”

Su Ziheng shook his head and looked at him for a long time, and said, "Su Mou can not marry so many wives, because there is nothing to inherit." But Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince is different, you are going to inherit the throne, and if the heirs are too thin, it will cause trouble. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Don't mention anything else, let's just say that this time, isn't it because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was attacked because you have no children under your knees, those thieves only need to capture or kill His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, and the emperor will have no successor." It was precisely because the thieves saw this result that they dared to take the liberty of assassination. If the prince's children are in groups, even if they assassinate the prince, it will not help. ”

Through the pondering and analysis of the past few days, coupled with the fact that Yun Mengze did not find a trace of a Jinfan thief, Su Ziheng also understood one thing in his heart that the person who could make the assassination of the prince must be very powerful, and it is very likely that it is the uncle of Chu Wang in Yao Fusu's mouth.

Guessing the identity of that person, and then reversing the purpose of the assassination, it is much simpler. As long as Emperor Yao Chengde has no heir, then it is inevitable to select heirs from the imperial family to inherit the throne, and then the opportunity for Yao Chengzhi, the king of Chu, will come.

Yao Fusu looked expressionlessly at the waves stirred up by the warship in the distance, and was silent for a long time.

……

……

After a day's sailing, the Jiangnan naval warship finally returned to the shore of the camp.

As soon as they got off the boat, Yao Fusu and Su Ziheng were rewarded by guarding the camp, saying that Yao Mingyuan, the prince of the king of Chu, wanted to see him.

Yao Mingyuan is a few years older than Yao Fusu and is his cousin. But one is the prince and the other is the prince, and the identity is naturally respected by the prince, so it is Yao Mingyuan who asks to see Yao Fusu.

"Let him come over directly if he has something!" Yao Fusu commanded in a deep voice, he wanted to see what tricks Yao Mingyuan was playing?

After Yao Mingyuan came in, he bowed to Yao Fusu, "Yao's disciple Mingyuan, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Yao Fusu frowned, then got up and said with a smile: "Cousin Mingyuan is polite, please get up quickly." Come, give a seat. ”

At that moment, a soldier moved a chair and placed it in front of Yao Mingyuan.

Yao Mingyuan bowed his hand and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince, for giving me a seat." ”

Yao Fusu asked, "I don't know what happened to the clan brother today?" ”

Yao Mingyuan said solemnly: "Hearing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated, Xiao Wang and his father were very shocked, so they sent a large army to search for the whereabouts of the group of daring thieves, and luckily met that group of Jinfan thieves, and my father ordered them all to be beheaded to avenge His Royal Highness the Prince, and Xiao Wang sent the head to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

After speaking, he turned back to the door of the big tent and shouted, "Come on, bring up the head of the Jinfan thief Pang Ba." ”

Suddenly, the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and three big men walked in, one of the leaders was holding a wooden box in his hand, and the two behind him were each carrying a coarse cloth sack.

Yao Mingyuan said lightly: "Open the wooden box and show it to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

The leader of the big man had to "snap" open the wooden box, revealing a head made of lime.

Yao Fusu fixed his eyes and saw that it was Pang Ba, the leader of the Jinfan bandits who led the army to attack him that day.
