Chapter 455: Undercurrent (2)

Doctor Su still didn't understand the meaning of Xu Lin's words, but when he saw the relaxed look on Xu Lin's face, he knew that there was no danger for the time being.

He sits in the hall all year round, understands people's hearts, and knows that there are some things he shouldn't listen to.

Doctor Su said, "I'll go inside to take care of His Highness. ”

Xu Lin nodded naturally.

After Doctor Su left, Xu Lin said to the three Daheng people: "In Qingdu, are there only three of you left?" ”

A man behind the leader stood up and said hatefully: "You are hiding here, because you don't know how strict Chen Guoren is in investigating Daheng people." He didn't even treat the people of Qingguo so harshly. Hmph, Daheng is still the number one power in the world, Chen Guoren dares to do this. ”

The leader of the big man frowned, and punched the big man who interjected in the face.

The big man was burly, but Jing Yuan ate this punch, and it really hurt. He fell to the ground, his face unconcealed with horror, and he did not dare to stand up or speak again.

The leader snorted coldly and said, "It's Lord Xu in front of you, who called you so rude." ”

The big man on the ground covered his injured side face and said, "I was wrong. ”

Xu Lin watched coldly as if he was watching a play, and when the leader looked at him, he said: "You don't have to do these superficial skills, the old man understands in his heart that Qingguo's current situation has no other way than to cooperate with you." So, tell me, what can you do for me? ”

The leader said, "I can help you go to Daheng." ”

"Deal."

Xu Lin glanced into the room and said softly.

He was also helpless.

Escaping with the Daheng people is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger.

However, he knew in his heart that these Daheng people, even if they sacrificed their lives, would send His Royal Highness the Third Prince to Daheng. And the other so-called Qingguo people, he didn't dare to believe it alone.

This is also Xu Lin's helplessness.

He had no choice but to do so.

……………………

A few days later, Chen Baichuan followed Yuan Lao and the former minister in charge of water conservancy in Qingguo to discuss the matter of Chen Qinghe.

The three of them were talking happily, and their subordinates came in and whispered in Chen Baichuan's ear for a moment.

Chen Baichuan said lightly: "Got it." ”

After the soldier retreated, Yuan Lao apologized and said: "If the general is busy with official business, I will retire first, and the rest of the details will be asked by the apprentice to write the title of the book, and then present it to the general." When the time comes, the general will make some corrections, and I will change them later. ”

"Elder Yuan doesn't have to be so polite, but at the moment I have some things to deal with." Chen Baichuan said.

Yuan Lao followed the Qingguo official to retire.

Chen Baichuan and the other two people were about to step out of the door with one foot, and then asked suddenly: "Tell me, which of your Qingguo can inherit the position of King Qing if you have escaped now?" ”

The Qingguo official trembled, and after fighting for a while in his mind, he said: "It should be His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and he has Lord Xu Lin by his side to help." ”

If it weren't for the official position promised by Chen Guo, the officials would not have said His Royal Highness the Third Prince.

Although this group of remnants of Qingguo cannot be as righteous as Xu Lin and sacrifice their glory to help His Royal Highness the Third Prince, they will not easily betray their whereabouts. Otherwise, the two of them would not have been hiding in the city for so many days.

Chen Baichuan waited for Yuan Lao and the two to leave, and cleaned up the documents about Chen Qinghe on the table.

He said to the air, "Let Chu Hui come over." ”

Soon, someone brought Chu Hui over.

Chu Hui hurriedly came over, gasped and said, "The general suddenly summoned me over, could it be that something happened in the city?" ”

Chen Baichuan said solemnly: "Was there a fire in the city just now?" ”

"Yes," Chu Hui was stunned for a moment, and explained: "Just now, a wine shop in the south of the city suddenly caught fire, and I was nearby, and I happened to go to put out the fire." ”

"I heard the soldiers come to tell me that a waterwheel at the south gate had fled out of the city gate and into the mountains and forests." Chen Baichuan suddenly came out with this sentence.

Chu Hui was shocked in his heart, and his face was full of surprise, he asked, "Could it be that some important person has run away?" ”

"Now I suspect that it is His Royal Highness the Third Prince of Qingguo."

Chen Baichuan voiced his guess.

Chu Hui was even more surprised, and said: "Could it be that the fire in the south of the city today was deliberately set by the people of Qingguo, so that the waterwheel went to the moat outside the city gate to replenish water, and then took the opportunity to escape." ”

Chen Baichuan nodded, but said again: "Actually, I'm not afraid that His Royal Highness the Third Prince will escape by themselves, what I'm afraid of is that there are Daheng people among them." ”

Chu Hui also broke out in cold sweat on his forehead.

He understood that Chen Baichuan's deployment of military forces in the city was very reasonable, and the old ministers of Qingguo in the city were absolutely unable to lend a helping hand to the so-called Royal Highness the Third Prince.

So they really could have been rescued by the Daheng people.

As for letting the Daheng people rescue, it is probably the worst situation now.

Chu Hui can predict that after Chen Guoren and Daheng start a war in the future, Daheng will definitely use the banner of the three princes of Qingguo to plunge the entire territory of the original Qingguo into chaos.

Even if those people in Yuan Qingguo don't have different intentions at that time, Chu Hui himself doesn't dare to guarantee whether he can trust them.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince escaped by himself, which was nothing more than inciting some ignorant people. Chen Baichuan's entire Qingguo has been flattened, of course, he is not afraid of that little bit of sins.

The most terrifying thing is that Daheng will make this Royal Highness the Third Prince a banner, a banner that incites the people to panic. At that time, as long as the palace of the three princes exists for one day, there will be no real integration between Chen Guo and Yuan Qingguo.

It's a big nuisance.

Chu Hui hurriedly said, "I will personally lead people to pursue it immediately." ”

Chen Baichuan didn't stop it, and said: "You bring more people, in addition to searching the mountains and forests, immediately send people to guard the checkpoints, and you can't let anyone pass." ”

Chu Hui had to give the order.

The next day.

As the sun sank, Chu Hui returned to Chen Baichuan and said with a dark face: "I couldn't find His Royal Highness the Third Prince, I only found a Daheng person." ”

"Oh?"

Chen Baichuan was a little surprised.

He knew the ability of the soldiers of the Chen State, that His Royal Highness the Third Prince was said to be seriously injured, and it stands to reason that he couldn't escape far, how did he avoid the pursuit?

Chu Hui seemed to hear the doubts in his heart, and explained: "After that Daheng man was captured alive by me, his mouth was quickly pried open. He had already told the truth just now, it turned out that he was the only one who came out of the waterwheel, waiting for the dead of night, His Royal Highness the Third Prince, and an old minister of Qingguo named Xu Lin, as well as two Qingguo people, escaped from the side of the road and did not go up the mountain. ”

"Heh, what a trick."

Chen Baichuan couldn't help but sneer.

However, he knew that it was not certain whether the three princes of Qingguo could escape now.

All checkpoints have been blocked by Chen Guo's soldiers.
