Seeing Lord Xin leaving, Shi Min didn't get up to chase her. At this time, Qin Wan walked in, looking at the back of Lord Xin, Qin Wan felt very uncomfortable for a while.

"Why are you here?" Shi Min was a little surprised when he saw Qin Wan standing in front of him.

Qin Wan was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I heard the conversation between the prince and the county lord just now. ”

Shi Min was a little embarrassed, avoiding Qin Wan's gaze and not daring to look directly.

Qin Wan suddenly saluted Shi Min, and then said, "Qin Wan really doesn't want to see the prince and the county lord make such a fuss, everything is my fault." ”

"It's not about who's right or wrong! You ......"

"While these days are still free, the son is ready to get married with peace of mind, and in a few days, you will have to go on the expedition." Qin Wan interrupted Shi Min's words, then saluted again and said, "Qin Wan retires......"

Without waiting for Shi Min to respond, Qin Wan retreated. Shi Min stood up and wanted to chase after him, but his mind was in a mess and he was stunned in place.

In the middle of the night, Shi Min had no intention of sleeping, so he wandered around the Xihua Marquis Mansion alone, and for some reason, he came to the stable.

Perhaps Zhu Longma and Shi Min really had a heart, and it sensed Shi Min's arrival from a distance and let out a low neigh.

"You know I'm coming?" Shi Min muttered, then grabbed a handful of forage, walked up to Zhu Longma, and fed it.

Shi Min gently stroked Zhu Longma's head, and Zhu Longma also chewed the grass in his mouth while rubbing his head against Shi Min's body, like a child.

"Sometimes I really envy you, there aren't so many things to worry about." Shi Min said while stroking Zhu Longma.

Zhu Longma "hummed" twice, as if he understood Shi Min's words.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came, and Shi Min turned his head to look.

"Childe, so you're here?" Xu San walked over with a lantern.

"Third Uncle Xu, why haven't you slept yet?" Shi Min put down the fodder, clapped his hands and asked.

Xu San replied: "I'm looking for you!" The Great General is back! ”

"Father is back? When did it arrive? ”

"Just arrived, the general is in the front hall, let me come to you!"

"Let's go!" Shi Min hurriedly left the stable.

The two came to the front hall, and Shi Zhan took off his armor with the help of the deputy general, looking dusty.

"Father! You're back so soon? Shi Min shouted as he stood at the door.

Shi Zhan heard Shi Min's voice, glanced back at him, and then raised his hand slightly to the deputy general beside him to signal to retreat.

"What's wrong with not staying in the house so late and running around?" Shi Zhan asked as he sat down while arranging his clothes.

Shi Min walked in and replied, "I just went to the stable to see the horses, but I didn't go anywhere." ”

"Xu San, it's okay, let's go and rest early!" Shi Zhan commanded.

"Yes......"

After Xu San left, Shi Zhan instructed Shi Min: "Sit down!" ”

"Yes......"

"The Father already knows what is going on these days!"

"The Qingwang Mansion has been in full swing to implement the plan, father, what are your plans?" Shi Min asked.

Shi Zhan shook his head slightly and said, "For a while, my father really couldn't think of any way to turn things around. The only hope is to find evidence of King Qing's rebellion and fornication in the harem. ”

"Lu An's side is already investigating, but there is no definite evidence, firstly, Guanghuamen will definitely not leave evidence of his entry and exit from the palace, and secondly, Huilan Palace will definitely not admit it, on the contrary, if we stab this matter in front of Your Majesty without evidence, we will be bitten back by them."

"But in a few days, King Qing will be officially crowned the crown prince, maybe ......"

"I know what you mean! Fathers are worried about this, too! Shi Zhan sighed and said slowly: "Now I can only hope that Your Majesty will not kill King Yan!" Maybe...... The war provoked by the Xianbei and the Huns inadvertently helped us! But there's one thing you're doing well! The songs that Yecheng has been singing a few days ago are bound to have an impact on His Majesty. ”

"Listening to Lu An, since the last time I heard about this, His Majesty seems to have temporarily put aside the idea of killing King Yan."

"Your Majesty is the most suspicious, it seems that you have pondered Your Majesty's mind quite thoroughly!"

"Speaking of Your Majesty, my father probably already knows that in this battle, Your Majesty will be in charge!"

Shi Zhan nodded and said, "That's right! As a father, I don't quite understand, what is the intention of Qingwangfu to make this move? ”

"Maybe King Qing is worried that the war is unfavorable, and His Majesty will hold him responsible."

Shi Zhan shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be entirely for this reason......

"Could it be that King Qing is worried that his father will be the coach and rob him of his credit?"

"Both of these things you said are possible, but I always feel that this matter is not so simple!"

Shi Min was a little puzzled and asked, "What is the purpose of the Qing Palace?" ”

Shi Zhan was silent for a long time before he said, "I'm not sure...... If it is the worst possibility, it is to take advantage of His Majesty's departure from Yecheng and when he is in Youzhou, directly mutiny to seize power, frame the Xianbei people, and then immediately kill King Yan, and never suffer in the future! ”

"Mutiny? Seizure of power? You mean...... King Qing rebelled? Shi Min was so surprised that he was almost speechless.

"It's not impossible! King Qing has always been ruthless and unscrupulous! ”

"Since that's the case...... Father, then we have to leave a backup move! ”

"Shi Zun left Yecheng, the biggest disaster is Tan Yuan! Gotta guard against him! ”

"You Jian can't be underestimated, right?"

"Nope! You Jian is a reckless man at best, and Tan Yuan is a fox! If there is really any trouble, Tan Yuan will definitely lead all the forces of the Qing Wangfu in Yecheng! And also! According to the news obtained by his father, in addition to leaving more than 10,000 recruits to defend the city, Li Cheng also hid at least 10,000 elite soldiers of King Qing! ”

"Didn't you say that they were all sent to Youzhou? Where did he come from? ”

"This kid has been cultivating his own power in secret! Do you think that before the famine in the area of Licheng, where did the grain and grass given by the imperial court go? He has put it into his treasury to expand his strength! ”

"Damn it, sloppy human life! It doesn't matter if the people live or die! Shi Min scolded the case.

"Leave that alone!" Shi Zhan said to Shi Min: "Tell Zhang Bao that once something happens in Youzhou, let him immediately find a way to kill Tan Yuan and cut off all ties between King Qing and Yecheng!" Also, no matter what, you have to keep King Yan! ”

"Father, can he do this alone? It is still possible to assassinate Tan Yuan, but if you want to keep King Yan, you can only rob people from Dali Temple, not to mention that there are 1,000 guards in Dali Temple, and there is something big about the whole Yecheng, it is impossible not to alarm the patrol camp, and even if the people in the patrol camp are straw bales, it is impossible to help others snatch people from Dali Temple! ”

"If you can bring in an army, what else do you want him to do? All the plans we are making now are to beware of King Qing's bottom of the cauldron! If he doesn't have such a plan, that's the best, but don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case! ”

"Father is talking about ......"

Shi Zhan closed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "I hope this time, I think more about my father...... Otherwise, everything may be prepared for the worst! ”

"Father left our men and horses in Handan, does it also mean this?"

"At the beginning, my father was reluctant to send troops, just to preserve his strength, but now that I think about it, it is thanks to such a decision in the first place! Once the situation changes, you can either wave your army to the north to King Qin, or you can go south to take Yecheng! ”

"Father really thought it through!"

"My father has already asked your two uncles to expand their forces again! Step up your drills in case you need them! This year's grain and grass have also been left in private, and now we can only quietly watch how things will develop. ”
