Chapter 136: Retreat from the Distant Mountains
"Actually, there are some things that it is good to make clear. Hou Ye is a high-spirited and bright man, and he is the minister of the humerus that the court relies on, and there will definitely be nothing wrong with me. ”
Kang Yuqing suddenly knelt down, and Kang Yutong had no choice but to put down his crutches and kneel down.
It seems that these two people are asking themselves to open up to the Zhong family and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, even so, the prince wants to take the lead, "The prince and the second prince don't have to be like this, if you really don't want me to misunderstand, then answer me a question." ”
"What's the problem?" Kang Yutong asked.
"Where are the Zhong family father and son hiding?"
Kang Yutong was stunned, as if he didn't expect the prince to ask so simply and directly, Kang Yuqing kept his head down, as if he was thinking about something.
"I don't know." Kang Yutong's answer was extremely simple.
But these two words are clearly not the answer that the prince wants, but he was not angry, but looked at Kang Yutong seriously, "I don't want to embarrass you, let alone use the topic to play, this matter has nothing to do with your Zhenbei Hou Mansion after all, just tell me where the Zhong family's father and son are hiding, I promise you as the crown prince, if you hear it today, you will forget it, and you will never be involved in the Hou Mansion in the future." ”
Kang Yuqing raised his head, with that faint smile, "Your Highness, it's not that our Hou Mansion has too many concerns, it's that I really don't know." ”
The crown prince didn't look at him, still staring at Kang Yutong, "My friendship with the Hou Mansion, hasn't the eldest prince felt it yet?" Naturally, I would not deliberately set up a situation to frame the Zhenbei Hou Mansion. After speaking, the prince glanced at the screen, and his heart was overflowing.
"Our Zhenbei Hou Mansion naturally trusts His Highness, and please believe in us." Kang Yuqing still had an indifferent smile on his face when he spoke, and seemed to be very sure of everything that happened here, "We really don't know the whereabouts of the Zhong family's father and son, they left us a message address earlier, but a few days ago, the building was empty." ”
Kang Yutong was very surprised when he heard Kang Yuqing say these words, but when he turned his head to Kang Yuqing's confident eyes, he couldn't interfere too much.
"However, General Zhong has something for us to convey to His Highness."
The prince got up and approached Kang Yuqing, his eyes forcing him to hurry up. This was the closest opportunity he had to the Zhong family's father and son, and he didn't want to and couldn't miss any news.
"Speaking of which, this is a big crime of rebellion, and the Yuanshan Army and the Zhong family are really confused. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid I'm being taken advantage of. ”
This word by word, the prince listened to it in his heart. He may have guessed everything about this rebellion. The Yuanshan Army was used, and he also thought about this possibility, but there was no evidence.
Without evidence, he can only believe in another possibility, the Yuanshan Army is the culprit of this rebellion, and the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, which is friendly with them, must also harbor evil intentions.
"But alas, they don't have any evidence to justify themselves. can only avoid pursuit, in order to have the opportunity to explain to the emperor and His Royal Highness the crown prince in the future. ”
No evidence? The prince's face turned pale.
Kang Yutong then went on with Kang Yuqing, "Your Highness, although the orders in the army are based on military talismans and military orders, sometimes the situation is urgent, and it may not be fully followed. The illegal transfer of the Yuanshan Army was to listen to the oral letter of an acquaintance, and it was just a verbal message, so there was no evidence. ”
If it was before, the prince might not have listened to it and might not have believed it, but these days, he has begun to be willing to trust them a little more and give them more opportunities.
"Can I meet General Zhong?" The prince asked, his words no longer having the sense of oppression he had earlier, "If you ask some words in person, perhaps, you will have a different idea." It sounded more like a plea.
"Your Highness, this, it really can't be done." Kang Yutong and Kang Yuqing glanced at each other and shook their heads.
"Your Highness, General Zhong asked for a map of the outside of the pass, I think he should have already left Youyun City." Kang Yutong said.
"But, isn't it a lockdown?"
Kang Yutong lowered his head.
The prince suddenly understood that when they met that day, he was afraid that it was not to communicate with each other, but to find Marquis Kang to ask for a shortcut to cross the mountain to go to the outside of the pass.
"Since they were being used, don't they want to prove their innocence? Don't you want to meet the emperor? The prince became excited, he didn't quite understand why General Zhong, who had a quick and explosive temper on the battlefield, gave up and why he had to leave the border.
"Your Highness, General Zhong's body can't bear it anymore." Kang Yutong still hung his head and paused, "The military achievements of the Yuanshan Army are outstanding and prestigious, and I hope His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will remember those past ...... No...... Ruined it......"
Kang Yutong slowly knelt down, and Kang Yuqing also knelt on the ground.
Dinghai Navy, Yuanshan Army, Zhenbei Army, once upon a time, the three armies were dominant, but now, thinking of this, how can it not make the Kang family tremble.
Knock knock, the two kowtowed three times. Whether this is praying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will treat the remaining brothers of the Yuanshan Army well, or bidding farewell to those who have no choice but to go away, I am afraid that even they themselves can't tell.
Outside the window, the snow had long since stopped, and even the sun was setting in the west, revealing the long-lost light of shoes. Tomorrow may be a sunny and warm day.
Kang Yufei opened her eyes, and it was still dark in front of her, but looking into the distance, she seemed to be able to see some faint light, which may be a sign that her eyes were about to improve.
She stood up, heard someone approaching next to her, supported her body, and helped her sit up, this person moved very gently and his hands were very light. She reached over and held it gently, it was a pair of men's big hands, and when she brushed it over, she could feel some heavy calluses on the tiger's mouth, which was very familiar.
"Your Highness?" Kang Yufei asked softly.
She felt the back of her hand being slapped hard, it hurt, she frowned, and scolded angrily, "Third brother, what are you doing." ”
"You are a dead girl, your brother can't recognize you, you should be beaten."
Kang Yufei was angry in her heart, and retracted into the quilt again.
When the prince heard that Kang Yufei had woken up, he hurried straight to the Feiyu courtyard. She had been asleep for several days, waking up and sleeping, and she had never found time to take a good look at her, and now that she could finally see her, he was naturally very happy.
Turning right in the corridor, the prince's footsteps were too fast, and he didn't stop for a while, and bumped into the two little girls holding the medicinal food.
"Ahh The two girls staggered a few steps, but one of them hit each other, and the medicinal food splashed all over the ground, and also splashed on the shoes of His Royal Highness the Prince.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the servant deserves death......"
"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way......" The prince was too lazy to care about this, he just wanted to hurry to the Feiyu courtyard. He stepped over the soup stains on the ground and walked straight ahead.
"I have to make another one, but it's a pity that these supplements, I heard that I have been boiling this soup for three days." One of the maidservants grumbled softly.
"Alas, in fact, there is no difference between pouring it and drinking it from the county lord, it's a pity." The other muttered.
"Sister Qing'er, don't talk nonsense about what you don't have, in case someone hears it......"
The prince had just turned around the corridor and walked a few steps, and those words could still be heard vaguely, thinking that the subordinates were complaining, but when he heard this, he involuntarily stopped, and turned back lightly.
