As soon as Zhao Xi's words fell, he heard a crisp bird chirping from outside the window.

This tweet would only sound pleasant to the ears of ordinary people, but it made Yuan Feng, who was proficient in beast language, immediately show joy: "King Xi don't worry, we already know where those 30,000 people are hiding." ”

As he spoke, Yuan Feng walked quickly to the window and opened the sash, and a finch covered with colorful feathers appeared in front of everyone's field of vision.

Chu He is no stranger to this finch at all, isn't this a bird raised by Yuan Feng?

And when Zhao Xi saw this bird, he was also surprised and said: "Why did this little bird appear here?" ”

Zhao Heng also followed and said: "No, the third brother's waist card was sent by this bird, seventh brother, am I dazzled?" Why did the birds that appeared in our house just now come here again? ”

Hearing the conversation between Zhao Heng and Zhao Xi, Chu He understood everything.

Emotional Yuan Feng had already arranged everything, first let Que'er send the waist card of King Ling's Mansion to King Xi's Mansion, lure Zhao Xi and Zhao Heng here at the same time, and then found the hiding place of the 30,000 garrisons through Que'er.

I think that Jiang and King Xuan would never have expected that their secret would eventually be discovered by a bird and passed on to them so easily.

Yuan Feng stretched out his hand, and only a palm-sized finch stopped firmly in his palm, the small bird had already been raised to be spiritual, and after chirping a few times at Yuan Feng, it flapped its wings and pointed in the direction of the imperial city.

This scene will only feel strange when people who don't know it, but Yuan Feng, who is proficient in beast language, will naturally understand everything when he hears it.

Chu He was responsible for protecting their true identities, worried that Zhao Xi and Zhao Heng would guess something, so he hurriedly stood up and played a round: "Yuan Feng is a very powerful animal trainer, so he can domesticate some animals for his own use; Just now, King Heng said that this finch brought you the waist card of King Ling's Mansion, and this is Yuan Feng's ability. ”

After listening to Chu He's explanation, Zhao Xi and Zhao Heng showed a look of sudden realization.

They are princes of noble births, and they can see all kinds of rare and exotic beasts since they were young; For example, in the palace on Luli Mountain, there are many spiritual animals in captivity, and those animals are raised by thousands of selected animal trainers, in order to please these nobles.

Therefore, seeing Yuan Feng raising a beautiful bird with familiar movements, Zhao Xi and Zhao Heng were not surprised.

Yuan Feng had already determined where the 30,000 garrisons were hiding now, but considering the particularity of this news, he was not going to tell the two princes in front of him like this, but handed over other tasks to them.

"His Royal Highness King Xi, since you personally promised that you would protect the emperor's safety, the 30,000 garrisons will be handed over to us to deal with; We have only one purpose, that is, we must hold back the Jiang family's footsteps, and we can't let her help King Xuan ascend the throne before King Ling returns. ”

Zhao Heng shook the folding fan in his hand and looked at Yuan Feng, who was swearing: "Father, I will keep an eye on the seventh brother, but it is a 30,000 city guard, although the combat effectiveness is not as good as your black armor army in Qingzhou, but the victory lies in the large number of people and the large base, can you handle it with just the two of you?" Don't boast about Haikou at that time, but it will drag down the third brother. ”

Chu He stood up and said, "Your Royal Highness King Heng, please rest assured, the minister did not come alone. ”

Zhao Heng swept Chu He with the tail of his eyes: "Not alone?" Could it be that you can really bring the Black Armor Army? ”

Chu He and Yuan Feng glanced at each other, both showing mysterious smiles, and seeing this smile, Zhao Heng immediately jumped up.

"I'll go! Really brought, Chu He, you general should burn your brain, you dare to run away even with the border garrison of the imperial court, this guts, the master will give you a word of convincing. ”

Chu He said with a smile: "As a courtier, you naturally don't dare to act rashly without the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven, but if you receive the holy decree, it is another matter." ”

Zhao Xi and Zhao Heng are both human spirits, and as soon as they heard Chu He's words, they immediately understood.

It turned out that Chu He really got his father's will to appear in front of the third brother and them; It seems that this time, the third brother is destined to achieve great things.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xi and Zhao Heng felt a burst of blood rolling, originally they still couldn't understand their father's attitude, but now, everything was understood.

Since even their father has stood up and become the third brother's big backer, they naturally want to be more energetic and cut through obstacles for the third brother who is about to come back, and smooth the obstacles ahead.

After sending Zhao Xi and Zhao Heng away, Yuan Feng immediately told Chu He the news of the 30,000 garrisons he had just gotten: "You would never have imagined where the 30,000 garrisons would be." ”

Chu He remembered the direction that the finch was pointing in towards the imperial city when she flapped its wings just now, and asked tentatively, "But in the direction of the imperial palace?" ”

Yuan Feng looked at Chu He in surprise: "You actually guessed?" I really underestimated you. ”

The corners of Chu He's mouth hooked, and he said: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess, the more dangerous and dazzling the place, the more it will become the first choice for others to hide secrets; Jiang is ambitious, but at the same time she is also afraid of death, 30,000 garrisons are the most powerful trump card in her hands, and the palace is the highest place where the power of the Great Wei is concentrated, as long as the palace is controlled, isn't it the control of the entire Great Wei? Therefore, it is not surprising that she arranged people near the palace. It just makes me wonder that although the palace is huge, it is very difficult to hide 30,000 people, how did she do it? ”

Yuan Feng said: "The palace of the Great Wei is built on the site of the former capital of the Yelang Kingdom, which is a small country that is good at ambushing troops, and likes to study Qimen gossip the most; I heard that the reason why the founding ancestor of the Great Wei Dynasty built the imperial palace on the site of Yelang Kingdom was that there was a mysterious underground palace under the ground of this old site, and the exit of the underground palace was a secret place dozens of miles outside the city. ”

Although Chu He was quite shrewd, he didn't fully understand the meaning of Yuan Feng's words: "I really don't understand, how can this Emperor Taizu have such a strange habit, he doesn't love the splendid palace, but likes the underground palace of Yelang Kingdom." ”

Yuan Feng shook his head with a smile and said, "Big brother, why haven't you understood, how could this Emperor Taizu of Great Wei not love the splendid Imperial City?" He was obviously worried that in a hundred years, some of the descendants would lose the Great Wei Dynasty; In order to prevent his descendants from being slaughtered by the rebels gathered in the palace, he left a back road for his descendants; If that day comes, this underground palace and secret exit will be the only way for useless children to escape. ”

Chu He immediately understood: "It turns out that Taizu actually had such an idea, he really deserves to be the founding ancestor of the Great Wei Dynasty, and such a far-sighted idea is indeed alternative enough." ”

Yuan Feng nodded and agreed: "It's unexpected, smart and treacherous, otherwise, how can he have the ability to create a dynasty; It's just that Emperor Taizu would never have imagined that the underground palace he secretly stayed in was originally to save his descendants in danger, but he didn't expect that it was now used by the Jiang clan to garrison troops, and the swords in the hands of these soldiers were aimed at the current Emperor of Great Wei. If Emperor Taizu had a spirit in the sky and knew what was happening in the imperial city now, he would definitely be angry and jump out of the imperial tomb to find the Jiang family desperately. ”

"You mean, these 30,000 garrisons are hiding in the underground palace?"

Yuan Feng affirmed: "If you think about it carefully, the 30,000 garrisons were originally guarding the periphery of the capital, but they disappeared overnight like evaporating from the world, which means that these people should not be seen outside the capital; And the exit of the underground palace left by Yelang Kingdom is dozens of miles outside the capital, just close to the place where the 30,000 garrisons are missing, is this a coincidence? ”

"And looking at the palace up and down, the only place that can hide so many people is the underground palace, so don't think about it, those 30,000 people must be hiding somewhere."

Chu He clenched his hands into fists and crackled his joints: "Good guy, you're quite good at hiding; It just so happened that all these rebels were gathered and hid in the underground palace, so I simply led people to find the secret exit, and then set fire to burn all the rebels who dared to follow the Jiang family into roast suckling pigs. ”

Just do it, Chu He clapped his hands and was about to go out.

But as soon as he took two steps, he was grabbed by Yuan Feng: "You can't do this." ”

"Why? Yuan Feng, you can't suddenly feel pity at this time, right? Don't forget, those 30,000 garrisons are Jiang's people, and if they are allowed to live, we will be the unlucky; I said, have you been getting too close to Master Wuchen lately, and you've started to learn what kind of compassion and stuff those monks are chanting about?! ”

Looking at Chu He, who was anxious with him, Yuan Feng knew that he had misunderstood him.

This marching man has never shown mercy to his enemies, and today he has seen what it means to be decisive in killing; It's just that he blocked Chu He for other reasons.

"I know that the general is a person who is not afraid of life and death, and is jealous of evil, but please don't forget that the 30,000 garrisons are not only the people of the Jiang family, but also the people of Great Wei; How many of them are innocent and involved in this battle for succession? And how many people have no choice but to follow the orders of the people above to do things? In other words, perhaps among these 30,000 people, many people did not know what they were going to do next, and they were involved in this conspiracy in a daze. ”

Yuan Feng tried his best to persuade Chu He, "General Chu, you are leading the Black Armor Army in Qingzhou to protect the stability of the border of Great Wei, what is it for?" It is not for the people of the Great Wei behind him not to be trampled by the iron cavalry of Northern Mongolia, and for the territory of the Great Wei to not be burned by the war; If at this time, we blindly slaughter the Great Wei soldiers in the underground palace in order to pursue victory, then what is the difference between us and the Northern Mongolian people? ”

Chu He hated the Beimeng people the most, and when he heard Yuan Feng say this, he immediately became angry: "What are you talking about? How dare you compare me to the Northern Mongols? You're getting impatient. ”

Seeing that Chu He was angry, Yuan Feng did not back down, and said: "In my opinion, if you dispose of these 30,000 people at will like this, it will make no difference to the Beimeng people who kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

"Bastard! Yuan Feng, don't think that you are Xiaoyue's person, I don't dare to touch you. ”

Looking at Chu He, whose eyes were as wide as copper bells, Yuan Feng laughed softly: "With your guts, you really dare to touch me; But if I had a way to make us achieve the greatest goal with the least sacrifice, would you say, would you do it? ”
