After much deliberation, Murong Jun finally said slowly: "Go!" Go back to Dragon City first! ”

……

The sudden death of Murong Hao disrupted Murong Jun's plan to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and the matter of going south to the Central Plains was delayed again, and the bloody battle between the people of the Qian tribe and the Xianbei people also disappeared.

Before Shi Hu's men and horses arrived in Youzhou, the people in the palace who reported the good news to Concubine Liu arrived.

"Your Majesty, the noble concubine sent someone to deliver the news!"

"What's the news?" Shi Hu was lying on the couch, and his eyes didn't even open.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty! The concubine was born! It's a prince! ”

When Shi Hu heard this, he immediately came to his senses, immediately sat up, and asked, "Is this news reliable!" ”

The subordinates were stunned, and nodded again and again: "Reliable!" ”

"Hahaha! The concubine is really angry! Generate another prince for me! Shi Hu smiled.

Seeing this, the people next to him knelt down and congratulated in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Congratulations, Your Majesty! ”

"Herald! I want to hold a banquet in Youzhou first to reward the three armies! To celebrate my new son! Shi Hu commanded excitedly.

The people around him responded: "The minister will do it immediately!" ”

At the same time, the news that Liu Guifei gave birth to a prince also reached Shi Zun, and unlike Shi Hu, the person who sent the letter also brought not too good news.

"Your Highness, Lord Tan has specially ordered the villain to inform you that Lu An is missing! The concubine Niangniang suspected that Lu An's disappearance for no reason was probably a little strange. ”

"Strange? What do you mean? Shi Zun was a little puzzled.

"After Xiaoxiang died, Lu An disappeared......"

"Wait! Xiaoxiang is dead? Shi Zun was a little surprised and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Your Highness, please listen to the villain, this is the strangest thing about the whole thing." The man kowtowed to Shi Zun, and then said, "Xiao Xiang was fortunate to be honored by His Majesty a few months ago, but she has always been sneaky. I never thought that Xiao Xiang was actually pregnant with a dragon seed, and her belly was getting bigger and bigger, so she was discovered by her mother, and under repeated torture, Xiao Xiang told what happened. But with the means of the mother, it is absolutely impossible to allow such a thing to happen, so ......"

"You've been talking for a long time, what's strange!" Shi Zun was a little impatient and asked, "Why did this prince leave Yecheng for many days, and Tan Yuan didn't have any news?" This matter has not been known to Prince Ben until now! ”

"Your Highness, forgive me, the villain hasn't finished talking yet......"

"Then you don't want to pick the important ones!"

"Yes......" The man nodded stupidly, and hurriedly said: "After Xiaoxiang died, Lu An disappeared, and then Niangniang found out that something was wrong, so she sent someone to get in touch with Lord Tan, only to find out that within a whole month, only a small part of the news sent to the palace by the Prince's Mansion was sent to the concubine Niangniang!" And only a small part of the response that Lord Tan got was the meaning of the concubine......"

"Xiao Xiang is the only contact between Huilan Palace and the Prince's Mansion, and the news sent to the palace by the Prince's Mansion has not reached the hands of the concubine, so there is only one explanation, Xiao Xiang withheld those news!"

"Your Highness said yes! Lord Tan and Guifei Niangniang both think so! The man nodded again and again, and said: "Lord Tan judged that Xiao Xiang had already betrayed Niang Niang and His Royal Highness, and those letters exchanged were probably in Xiao Xiang's hands, but the noble concubine Niangniang sent someone to turn the Huilan Palace upside down, and did not find the slightest clue." Lu An disappeared mysteriously, and on the night of Xiaoxiang's death, that is, the night Niangniang gave birth to the prince, it is said that Lu An appeared in Huilan Palace. Therefore, Niangniang and Lord Tan came to the conclusion that if Xiao Xiang deliberately withheld the correspondence between the Prince's Mansion and Huilan Palace before her death, then I am afraid that these letters have already fallen into the hands of Lu An! ”

This news was like a bolt from the blue for Shi Zun, and he clearly knew that once the matter between him and Liu Guifei was exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this moment, Shi Zun's palms were sweating, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.

"Did Lu An find it?" Shi Zun asked with a cold face.

"Lord Tan and the noble concubine Niangniang have secretly invited the patrol battalion and the forbidden army to help track down Lu An's whereabouts together, but this Lu An is like evaporating from the world, and there is no trace of it!"

"It's really hard to prevent thieves!" Shi Zun slammed the table case angrily, and asked, "What countermeasures does Tan Yuan have?" ”

The man immediately took out a bag from his arms, handed it to Shi Zun, and said, "Your Highness, please take a look, this is the villain ordered by Lord Tan to give it to you!" ”

Shi Zun hurriedly took the bag, opened it and looked at it, his face changed greatly, his hands shook, and the bag and paper fell to the ground.

Tan ...... Tan Yuan didn't say anything else? Shi Zun asked.

The man shook his head: "No ......"

"Prince Rongben, think about it!" Shi Zun instructed: "You stand down!" ”

"Yes...... The villain retired ......"

Shi Zun slowly picked up the piece of paper on the ground, and there were two words written on it: Forcing the palace!

Shi Zun threw the paper and the bag into the charcoal furnace next to him, and the bag and paper instantly turned into a ball of flames, emitting curling green smoke.

Shi Zun looked at the flames in the brazier and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. For him, Lu An's whereabouts are a crucial point, but unfortunately his whereabouts were not found.

According to Shi Zun's understanding of Tan Yuan, he was able to give such a suggestion, and he was basically convinced that Lu An's disappearance would definitely bring a fatal blow to the Prince's Mansion and Li Chengjun, and this fatal blow was only a matter of time.

Tan Yuan's meaning is very clear, that is, to strike first, instead of being frightened and passive, it is better to take risks and fight! After all, Shi Zun has been established as a prince, and once Shi Hu dies, there is no doubt that Shi Zun will be the only heir to the throne.

Thinking of this, Shi Zun's heart was both frightened and entangled. His fear is that he is afraid that he may not be able to stab Shi Hu when things will be stabbed, and he is hesitating whether to force the palace or not, and fight to break the net, after all, it is a trick with no room for maneuver, once it is used, it will become a benevolent if it is not successful.

However, even if he wanted to force the palace, Shi Zun was quite worried, because there were several obstacles in front of him, which made him have to worry.

First of all, in this fight with the Xianbei people, Li Chengjun suffered a lot of losses, and there are currently more than 20,000 people left. The original person who led the troops in Youzhou could have been regarded as his own person, but he had already been beheaded by Shi Hu, and now that he was someone else, Shi Zunshang didn't know if that person was in the same boat as him.

In addition, for this expedition, Shi Hu specially recruited 15,000 descendants to escort him, and these people only obeyed Shi Hu's orders. Although the sneak attack of the Xianbei people a few days ago, coupled with the previous battles, these 15,000 people suffered a lot of losses, but now there are still nearly 8,000 people on Shi Hu's side as guards. Removing the defenders of Youzhou, although Li Chengjun has an advantage in numbers, for such a thing as forcing the palace, this advantage is not an advantage at all. Once these 8,000 people can't be wiped out, then even if Shi Zun himself wins the throne, it will be a rebellion. The Yanwang Mansion, which still has a breath, is likely to take this opportunity to make a comeback with great fanfare and openness. In this way, he must have become the object of a thousand people.

Then again, a full 8,000 people, killing these 8,000 people to seize the throne, the movement is inevitably too big! I am afraid that it is impossible to be unaware, and once it is really done, it will also make the Chinese military officials of the dynasty suspicious, and it will also give the Yan Wangfu a chance to make a comeback.
