Just when Xia Huan was still inspecting the workshop near the river, Chen An also found the gathering place built by Xia Huan.

In just one day and one night, nearly 7,000 people have gathered in this gathering place. Even when Chen An first arrived, he was a little surprised.

It is not an easy task to manage seven thousand people, especially the armor that Xia Huan can stay here, at most, there are only two or three hundred people.

Therefore, it is extremely necessary to gather some people to help with co-management.

Among these people gathered, Wang Yan was obviously the most active. In the same way, it is also the default ruler among these people.

Regarding Chen An's arrival, Wang Yan was extremely vigilant at first. Even, I almost didn't start directly with Chen An.

After all, Chen An's clothes obviously do not belong to Chang Xiujun.

And the shiny armor is obviously very easy to arouse people's original fear of the official army.

However, fortunately, Xia Huan's eight palace guards were not all transferred. The people who recognized Chen An immediately stopped the conflict that was about to erupt.

In the mouths of those palace guards, Chen An learned that Xia Huan was just going out of the city, and he didn't even do it in this safe place, but took the risk himself, which made his heart that had been a little calm, and suddenly hung up again.

If it weren't for the palace guards who didn't know the specific location of Xia Huan now, I'm afraid Chen An would have gone to find Xia Huan a long time ago.

About two more hours later, the ground trembled slightly. A muffled sound came from the south.

"Your Highness is back!"

Wang Yan, who was a little excited, couldn't help but stand up immediately, planning to go out to meet Xia Huan. However, he was stopped by Chen An.

"You go and tell everyone here at once, all hide, don't come out." After speaking, Chen An held down the saber at his waist and walked out with a cold face.

Although Wang Yan didn't know why Chen An's face became a little ugly, he still did as he said.

Within a hundred miles of Shoudu, all the military brigades are only a handful.

Just now, the muffled sound was obviously the result of the horse's rapid gallop. Moreover, the number is at least more than 2,000 people.

Although the state of Chu can breed good horses, the number has not been many.

Therefore, there are so many war horses, except for the Shenwu Army, the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and only the guards of the East Palace are left.

Although Chen An didn't know much about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he still knew a little bit about it.

On weekdays, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been gentle and elegant, like a humble gentleman, which is diametrically opposed to the three princes who are known for their heroic martial arts.

However, above the court, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been ruthless towards political enemies.

Therefore, when the prince's army appeared here, Chen An's first reaction was that these people were ordered to come to slaughter the refugees in the north of the city.

After all, since ancient times, the treatment of plague has always been like this, and the Chu State will naturally be no exception.

However, the facts still surprised Chen An.

When Chen An led people and was about to persuade this group of princes and pro-army first, the leader got off the horse in a panic. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, "General Chen, have you seen the Seventh Highness?" ”

Chen An still knows this leader. used to be the prince's bodyguard, named Li Xu. Nominally, he was also in moderation.

There is also a younger brother named Li Jin, who also seems to be a celebrity around the prince.

Chen An frowned, and instead of answering, he asked, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down?" ”

"By Your Majesty's command, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the city, waiting for His Royal Highness the Seventh!" Li Xu arched his hand and did not hide anything from Chen An.

Of course, Li Xu was also not surprised why Chen An appeared here. After all, Chen An is in the palace, although he is nominally only a captain, he is on an equal footing with the captains of the other three gates.

However, Chen An is a real veteran of the Chu Emperor. The three captains were also recommended by him to Emperor Chu.

Although nominally, it was Wei Wei Jing Xiu who was in charge of the palace gate guard, but in fact, it was Chen An.

Knowing that Li Xu was not here to clear the sick person, Chen Anxin was also relieved.

Although, in Chen An's heart, the best way to deal with it is to clean up all the people outside the city, but since Xia Huan has made a choice, he can only support Xia Huan.

Inform Li Xu of Xia Huan's current situation, Li Xu, as the commander, obviously looked a little hesitant.

Based on the order given to him by Xia Yan, he must now go and immediately find Xia Huan.

However, outside of this workshop, most of the other places may not have had time to deal with it.

If they find too deep and there are sick people in the army, then their pro-army may not be able to escape the end of being censored. At that time, I am afraid that the impact on the prince will not be small.

Regarding Li Xu's hesitation, Chen An naturally saw it in his eyes.

Although he was also a little worried about Xia Huan in his heart, Chen An still chose to leave Li Xu here first and wait for Xia Huan's return.

Little by little, the sky was getting dark.

Some of the Changxiu soldiers who had been arranged by Xia Huan to continue to deal with the workshop before had basically returned, but Xia Huan was still nowhere to be seen.

On the Yingshang side, the crown prince Xia Yan waited in the city for a day, and there was no trace of Xia Huan, and he was even more anxious in his heart.

At sunset, Xia Yan sent three groups of people in one go, ordering Li Xu to bring Xia Huan back to the city no matter what.

Just as Li Xu gritted his teeth and was about to take the risk to find Xia Huan, a team of people rushed back.

"The last general, Li Xu, meet His Highness the Seventh!" Li Xu, who was delighted, immediately bowed to him.

Xia Huan frowned, and when he saw Li Xu and Chen An on the side, he understood that Chen Zhaoming's kid had disobeyed his orders again.

It's just that instead of entangling Chen Zhaoming, Xia Huan is now more worried that Li Xu will kill people outside the city.

"Why are you here? Could it be that the fourth brother is also here? Xia Huan asked tentatively.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is concerned about His Royal Highness's safety, and after learning that His Royal Highness is out of the city, he immediately asked His Majesty for an order to come to Yingshang to find His Highness! I also hope that His Highness will go back with the last general. ”

Li Xu's words made Xia Huan slightly clear. At least, they didn't come to curb the plague. In this case, it shows that everything he is doing now will not be ruined for the time being.

"Let the fourth brother worry......" Xia Huan said with some emotion.

Immediately, he also saluted Chen An on the side and said, "The kid is reckless, which also worries Master Chen." ”

Chen An hurriedly returned the salute, not even daring.

Perhaps in a hurry to complete Xia Huan's task, Li Xu was not too polite to Xia Huan, and after Chen An and Xia Huan finished their polite interactions, they immediately stepped forward again.

"Your Highness the Seventh, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been waiting in the city for a long time. In the dangerous place outside the city, His Royal Highness has a golden body, it is better to leave as soon as possible. ”

"Okay." Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Huan nodded directly. Such decisiveness surprised Li Xu very much.

"You'll have to wait a little longer, though. I still have a few things to cover. ”

Since Xia Huan had agreed to go back, Li Xu didn't force it anymore, and hurriedly responded: "Oh! ”

Half an hour later, Xia Huan turned over and handed over everything outside the city to Yu Meng.

In this regard, Yu Meng did not have any complaints.

Riding on the horse, not only Li Xu, but Chen An also breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, both of them were a little worried about whether Xia Huan would make some small moves willfully.

In this regard, Xia Huan naturally had the difficulty of having to go back.

On the one hand, Xia Yan even poured out of the pro-army, which shows that the seriousness of the matter is by no means as simple as the concerned brother in Li Xu's mouth.

On the other hand, since the crown prince is here, it means that the supreme leader of Yingshang is already the prince, not Xia Huan.

is no longer by Xia Last's side, Xia Huan is really a little worried that Xia Yan will directly order and kill, and destroy everything he has managed to run with great difficulty.
