All the way back to Beijing, the scenery of late autumn is very beautiful, most of the trees on both sides of the official road are half-yellow, and the yellowish leaves are plundered by the autumn wind, falling layer after layer of gold.

The horse can run very fast, but Grandma Yuan's body can't stand the bumps, so Yuwenhao told Xu Yi to slow down and walk slowly.

The red leaves seem to like the scenery of the Northern Tang Dynasty very much, and they are greedy to see along the way, and sometimes they delay the horses.

Especially when he returned to the pass, he looked at the yellowish and half-green all over the mountains, and was full of praise, "Your Highness said before that if I die in a foreign land, it sounds so sad and sad, but looking at this wonderful scenery, dying here, isn't it a kind of happiness?" ”

Yu Wenhao looked at his obsession with mountains and rivers, and did not take it lightly at all, but felt more and more that this person had ill intentions.

"If the prince feels that he is very happy to die here, this king will not stop him." Yu Wenhao retracted his eyes and slowly rode his horse.

Momiji smiled meaningfully.

Emperor Ming Yuan's first punishment for Prince Bao came down and stripped him of the prince's title.

Prince Bao was originally sealed by Emperor Huizong, and when he was young, he promised the position of prince, according to the rules, the emperor's son can be named a prince, even if Prince Yu did not rebel, Prince Bao can only be crowned a county king at most.

Emperor Huizong's imperial grace to this nephew did not return his loyalty and piety, but was destroyed by the imperial tomb to dig up the grave and dig up the corpse, how could it not make Emperor Ming Yuan angry?

It would not be an exaggeration to kill him.

However, the map has not been recovered, and the investigation of this matter has not yet reached a complete result, so Emperor Ming Yuan temporarily spared his life.

Yu Wenhao and his entourage arrived in Wuzhou, Gu Si brought someone to receive the letter, and after exchanging some information, Yu Wenhao handed over Grandma Yuan and Hongye Gongzi to Gu Si, and he and Xu Yi rode back to Beijing first.

Returning to Beijing, he went straight to Prince Bao's mansion, although Prince Anfeng asked some things, but there were still many doubts, and he needed to solve his doubts.

Prince Bao was relieved to hear that the old lady was safe, "This king is very sorry for her. ”

Yu Wenhao said lightly: "Keep this for Lu Yuan, he was injured by you and hasn't woken up yet." ”

Prince Bao's face was silent, "Although Lu Yuan was injured by me, I didn't intend to kill him, so I was surprised by this result, his martial arts are so high, it is said that he will not be injured so badly." ”

"You have no intention of killing him?" Yu Wenhao didn't believe it at all, "He saw you, wouldn't you expose yourself if you didn't kill him?" ”

Prince Bao said lightly: "Did you really see it?" It was pitch black, and he may have been observant, but as long as I deny it, who would believe him? I struck him at that time, just to snatch his horse and escape, so as not to kill anyone, and in this whole layout, if I can, I will not kill. ”

"It's sad to say, what about the girl on the flower boat? Aren't you a killer? You set this series of traps, and almost let the seventh man be planted in it, how sinister are your intentions? ”

Prince Bao's face was silent, and he said faintly: "That's right, I killed the two masters and servants, as for framing Lao Qi, it's not that there are any sinister intentions, I know he will be fine, but the situation can be chaotic at that time, and the more people can be involved, the safer I am." ”

"What about the iron card? You deliberately left an iron card to tie your father's hands and feet, is it also to make the situation more chaotic? ”

Prince Bao sighed, "I have already obtained the iron card in my hand, and I thought that in case of a failure, this iron card can save my family, so I will not take it out and use it easily, but I know that you have traced the route of my escape that night, and know that I have been on the flower boat, although I have killed the master and servant who has seen my face, I have no choice." ”

Yuwen Hao said coldly: "It's a pity that you don't know, it was Chun Niang who received you that day, but her maid didn't come due to illness, and it was Liu Er's maid who replaced her, so even if you killed Chun Niang's master and servant, Liu Er's maid was the one who really saw you, and she also picked up the iron card you left." ”

Prince Bao looked at him and smiled faintly, "Do you really think that's the case?" ”

Yu Wenhao also looked at him, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "No, Chun Niang's master and servant have indeed seen you with their own eyes, and as for Liu Er's maid, she was bought by you." ”

Prince Bao showed a hint of appreciation, "The prince is really smart, that's right, it was indeed Chunniang's master and servant who entertained me on the flower boat that night, only these two people if I admit my mistake, I really don't deserve to do anything big, I took the soldier map and it was inconvenient to dive and escape, so I gave them silver, and asked them to help me bring the soldier map ashore, bring it back to their home, and promise to give them a lot of money, and the woman of Qinlou was very profitable, so she naturally agreed, I went to retrieve the soldier map the next day after I escaped, and wiped out the two of them, Later, he knew that Lao Qi had found the flower boat, so he bought Liu Er's maid and left an iron plate, saying that someone would come to find something at that time, just give it to him. ”

"So, you left the iron badge after the fact? Why? Warn? Or is it a provocation? Or is it a threat? Or, as you say, muddy the water a little more? ”

"Yes," Prince Bao did not deny, "the more people you suspect at that time, the more you have to disperse your people to track down, so that you can free up time for me to transfer the military map and secretly cast it in Western Zhejiang, because, among so many people close to the emperor, I am the least suspicious, and you may not send someone to spy on me, but I still misestimated the prince's caution, that is, if you are idle, you are still eyeing me." ”

Yu Wenhao had to admire his thoughtfulness, "So, you put the fake soldier map in Yu Wenjun's study just to delay time?" ”

"Two reasons, the first one, you searched for the map of the army from King Ji's Mansion, and he became the first object of suspicion, so he could naturally divide a large part of my attention. Second, after the map arrived, I didn't understand, I didn't worry too much at the time, because Da Zhou would definitely send someone to note, so I have been waiting for this person to appear and kidnapped them, I learned from them that something happened to Da Zhou, in other words, the map in my hand is the only one in the world, ironically, this person does not know how to annotate the map, in other words, I took him away in vain and did not get substantial help, I still can't understand the map. ”

"Therefore, you also have to observe through the matter of Ji Wangfu who can annotate the military map."

Prince Bao sighed lightly, "This is also a helpless move, many things are planned in a hurry, and it is understandable that they cannot be as expected." ”

Yu Wenhao nodded and stared at him, "Last question, who told you that the study of King Ji's Mansion was going to be stolen?" How did you get in and place the map in the secret room? Who is this person you are connected with? ”
