"Sons remember the teachings of their father." The second prince knew that he did not suspect the assassins, and if he did, he would not sit here and talk to him calmly.

"Father, my son-in-law heard that Cangwu City has been flooded recently, although the loss of the people is not very serious, but the people are happy, so that the country and the people can be safe."

"The son asked to go there to deal with the flood." Just now, he suddenly thought of a brilliant idea, which would not only be able to leave Yuancheng without attracting the attention of others.

The emperor sighed and agreed to his request, and the second prince quickly retired.

Gonggong Xia personally sent him out, and waited until the people were far away before returning to his life.

The emperor's face looked a little haggard, and he was not as shrewd as before. "How did he look when he left?" He asked softly.

"When the second prince went out, there was no expression on his face, but he looked a little dignified." Father-in-law Xia told the truth, as a bystander, he could see that the second prince had some mustard for the emperor, although he was born in the emperor's family, the relationship between father and son was a very fragile thing.

But the relationship between the second prince and the emperor was really good before, and I don't know when things became like this.

"Because of his mother's death, he has other thoughts about me, and recently he feels that his body is not as good as before, Xia Li, do you think the two of them are worthy of the unification."

The emperor suddenly talked about the issue of the heir, such a sensitive topic should not have been said to a eunuch, but now there seems to be no one to talk about except him.

When Gonggong Xia heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment, "Your Majesty, you are in the age of health, where do you need to think about these things, you will live a long life." ”

The emperor smiled, "You don't have to say these nice words, your body knows by yourself, and those people in the hospital can't find out anything, even if you tell the truth, I will exonerate you." ”

When Xia Li heard him say this, he thought about it seriously for a while before he said slowly: "Slave look, the second prince and the crown prince have the ability to govern the world, but who is better, it is not yet known, why should the emperor be so anxious, it is better to test them more and then make a decision." ”

He didn't stand in anyone's camp, and he spoke with a neutral attitude, not to mention that there was really nothing wrong with these two people, and he couldn't tell who was more capable.

"Go down, I know." The emperor waved his hand.

The second prince set off the next day, Cangwu City was not very far from Yuancheng, and he didn't bring too many people and went into battle lightly.

After spending two days peacefully, the team of relatives has arrived at Fuyu Mountain, originally according to the original journey, they should have passed by here during the day, but there were some small episodes during the period, so when they arrived at Fuyu Mountain, it was already night.

The team had to spend the night here, and everyone seemed to have no opinion, and everyone was quietly doing their own thing.

Nan Chuanli explained to his cronies, and then went to the prince's side.

"Prince, I heard that when you were away, the emperor asked the second prince to deal with the flood, it seems that you, the prince, are not as beautiful as the outside world, haven't you ever thought about turning over and being the master. ”

He said this very presumptuously, and he was not worried that the prince would tell the emperor what he said, because he knew that the man in front of him would never do this, and he and the emperor had no father-son relationship at all, but had to stay in the palace after weighing the pros and cons.

Gu Lingyu kept looking into the distance, and when he heard his words, his face did not change, "We are also the emperor's sons, and we have the same right to inherit that position, and everyone has their own ability." ”

Nanchuan snorted coldly, as if he didn't expect him to say this, "You think it's nothing, but the second prince may not think so, how can there be such a coincidence in the world, you came to see off your relatives, and he took the opportunity to leave Yuancheng." At this point, he suddenly got a little closer.

He whispered: "And the big thing, once there is a problem, the person who sent the relatives is the most unlucky, and now the person who sends the relatives is you, if the second prince moves some hands and feet in this, maybe he will be able to pull you down from the position of the prince, and he is on the throne, and he is one step closer to the throne, you say, such a good opportunity is in front of him, will he do it." ”

The purpose of his coming over to say this was to arouse the suspicion of the crown prince in order to prepare for his future plans, and they did this as a dangerous move, and once they were discovered, they would definitely have endless troubles.

Gu Lingyu stretched out his hand and probed, and said softly, "The wind is blowing!" ”

Nan Chuanli didn't understand what he meant, looked at him suspiciously, only to see him suddenly turn around, and said indifferently: "If this is the case, it can only mean that his skills are not as good as others, and he is willing to bow to the advantage, and this position is not bad for more capable people." ”

He didn't seem to expect this person to say this, he is now the crown prince One step away from the throne, so close how can there be no other thoughts in his heart, if he has such a good opportunity for him, he will definitely make a careful layout and will not give up easily.

It's a pity that he lost the opportunity to succeed to the throne from the beginning, "I hope you won't regret it in the future." ”

Gu Lingyu glanced at him and didn't speak.

He is more concerned about whether she will come, although these troops are brought by him, but they cannot be manipulated, they are all loyal to the emperor, if someone wants to rob relatives, these people will definitely desperately save each other, and when the time comes, she will not be injured.

Nan Chuanli has been waiting for a suitable time, there is wind tonight, they are on the back of Fuyu Mountain, this terrain is very complicated on one side of the towering cliffs, on the other side is a flat jungle, but the woods do look more dangerous, there is a flat road in the middle.

This road is the only way to get to the south, but it is also a good place to ambush, but you don't know who it will be.

But soon they will find out.

The wind gradually increased, and large clouds were blown over, blocking the moon in the sky, and the earth was plunged into darkness, accompanied by bursts of thunder, and it seemed that it was going to rain tonight.

The rustling of the trees blown by the wind made it easier for some people to move, and the sound masked their movements.

After Wei Wan waited for them to settle down, he got down from the sedan chair, but he couldn't go too far, and he couldn't contact other people, he was followed by two palace maids, who usually took care of her food, clothing, and daily life.

She can only walk around the sedan chair, because it is outside, everything must be careful so as not to encounter any accidents, if she has an accident, there will definitely be big trouble.

"Where is this, how long are we before we get to the south." Wei Wan asked casually, she beat her shoulder, she hadn't walked much in the past few days, she had been sitting in a sedan chair, but it was not a way to do this all day, she felt even more tired than when she was marching and fighting.

One of the palace maids replied: "This should be Fuyu Mountain, and it will take about ten days to reach the southern border, but this road is more bumpy, and it may be hard." ”

The maid saw her fatigue and explained.

She nodded, looked up into the distance, standing here can no longer see Yuan City, now it is still in the place of Tianyuan Kingdom, walk for two days, even if it is a complete departure.

Nan Chuanli saw her come out, knowing that every time she went to rest, she would stay outside for a while, at this time except for the two palace maids around her, everyone else was standing far away, now is the best time.

But he can't be so reckless, he has to wait until someone makes the first move.

"Whoosh!" With a bang, a sharp arrow shot at the palace maid beside Wei Wan, and the arrow grazed her hair and went straight into the palace maid's chest, and she didn't even have time to exclaim, she fell.

The remaining maid was frightened and shouted, "There are assassins!" There are assassins! ”

The prince was stunned for a moment, and immediately sent people to surround him, he didn't know who the person who came was yet, and he had to protect Wei Wan, but with the arrow just now, it didn't look like Bai Xiyue, if it was her, she would definitely not do anything to hurt Wei Wan.

Nan Chuanli did not rush over, but said a few words to the people next to him, and then sent someone over in a hurry.

But just after the arrow, the other party seemed to have no movement, and when all of them gathered together, a group of people rushed over, but it was not a single fight, it was still shooting arrows at a relatively far distance, and the more concentrated the people, the greater the possibility of shooting, and there were almost no arrows.

These people were also very clever, shooting an arrow to change places, directing all the firepower over, making them neglect to guard their backs, and the rest of the people took the opportunity to surround them.

Gu Lingyu was even more sure at this moment, this was not Bai Xiyue's person, he couldn't let them take Wei Wan away, he went over in person, pulled the person into the protective circle, and all the soldiers surrounded him in the middle, if he wanted to take her away, he would kill everyone.

The second prince stood in the distance and observed the situation, it was almost like this, he could directly kill Wei Wan, but the arrow was missed, and now they don't seem to take advantage at all, the number of people is not as large as the other party, and if it continues like this, it is certain that they will be defeated.

He hurriedly said to the ghost next to him: "What should I do now, if I don't retreat, these people will all die here." ”

In his opinion, there will be other ways to lose this opportunity, but if you lose these people, it will be worth the loss.

"Don't worry, I always feel like someone else is coming." Lord Ghost looked around, there were many places where people could hide, and he guessed that someone else would come to save Wei Wan, and this person was most likely sent by the Wei family.

It turned out that his guess was correct, but the person who came was not what he thought, but the shadow.

They were all dressed in night suits, and they looked very strong in martial arts, not at all like a group of people who were in the first group of sneak attackers.

The second prince also noticed them and was stunned for a moment, "There are really people." ”

"Alright, now let our men retreat, and wait to reap the benefits of the fisherman."
