"Your Highness is angry." The little eunuch was taken aback, and Captain Chen hurriedly came over and pressed Su Jingye's shoulder, "Not to mention whether the military department Shangshu really has such great ability and courage, just say the words of this little eunuch, we may not be able to believe it all." ”

"This," the little eunuch listened to her words and couldn't help but be stunned, "This is a matter of the emperor's life, how dare the slave talk nonsense." If even the prince can't save the emperor, then he will really be succeeded by the traitor. ”

Su Jingye glanced at Captain Chen and knew that he was worried that this might be the emperor's trick, and wanted to trick him into bringing troops into the palace to punish the crime.

However, Su Jingye believed that the emperor did not have so much malice towards him, after all, Su Yutian's throne was also given up by him, even if Su Yutian wanted to deal with him, the Emperor Taishang might not agree.

Giving Captain Chen a look to appease him, Su Jingye asked out loud: "Before the siege of the military department, was there anything unusual in the capital?" ”

"Slaves rarely go out of the palace, and they don't know anything about things outside the palace." The little eunuch scratched his head, thought for a moment and said: "But the slave is the one who serves His Majesty and serves the pen and ink, and I once heard His Majesty and Gonggong Quan mention that Lord Zhang has not handed in the request for an excerpt for several days." ”

"Later, His Majesty sent someone to greet Lord Zhang's mansion, and then the next day Lord Zhang mobilized troops to besiege the palace." The little eunuch swallowed his saliva and took a breath.

"The soldiers sent by Lord Zhang broke into the palace, held down all the guards in the palace, and said to the outside world that His Majesty was sick and it was inconvenient to go to the court, so many adults in the capital did not know about the emperor's murder."

"The palace is heavily guarded, how can it be so easy to let the military department book break in?"

Su Jingye didn't stay in the court for a long time, so he didn't know, but Captain Chen knew: "Your Highness, the military department Shangshu once received the favor of the Emperor Taishang and allowed him to enter and leave the palace at will. ”

When Su Jingye learned this, he couldn't help but sigh: "The traitors around him can't be guarded against, and even my father and emperor are blinded by such a treacherous person, so that the emperor's brother suffers this disaster today." ”

"Does Your Highness think that Lord Zhang had the intention of rebellion back then?" Captain Chen asked.

Su Jingye glanced at him, "This Lord Zhang was originally in the same league as the crown prince, and he also had a share of the credit that I was forced to leave the capital at that time." ”

"Your Highness has really suffered." Captain Chen sighed.

The little eunuch looked up at the two people who were talking, and Su Jingye turned to him and said, "You go with the army first and enter the capital with us." ”

"This slave has to go back and report to the emperor." The little eunuch felt a little embarrassed.

Vice General Li came over and held him down at this time, "If the palace is really surrounded by rebels, it will be a dead end for you to go back, and you won't see Your Majesty." But if you lie and deceive our prince, you happen to be a proof. ”

"Alright, which car are you going to arrange for him to go with here?" Su Jingye pulled out his sword, "Let's leave today and hurry back to the capital." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." The little eunuch's face was pleasantly surprised, which made Vice General Li and Captain Chen feel that what he said seemed to be true.

Only then did he turn around and walk out a few steps, he ordered the little soldiers, and secretly called Vice General Li over, "Rest today, set off tomorrow, see what his reaction is, and send someone to the capital to inquire by the way." ”

Li Fujiang was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "The last general understands." ”

He glanced back suspiciously, then strode forward.

At this time, it was noon, Jiang Liuyu arranged for the soldiers to find a place to station a fire to make food, and after leading people to inspect the surroundings, they were relieved to let the people of the Huotou Army go to fetch water.

After the matter at hand was dealt with innocently, when Jiang Liuyu came back, he saw Su Jingye who was worried about himself by his campfire.

"What did that little eunuch say to make you so embarrassed."

Seeing that Jiang Liuyu had always been by her side, Su Jingye's heart was a little more relaxed. "This little eunuch risked his life and successfully escaped from the palace, just to tell me that His Majesty was forced into the palace."

"Hurry back over there." Jiang Liuyu reflexively said it, but saw that he seemed to be worried about something, "Are you worried that you can't beat him?" ”

Su Jingye was amused by her, "You have been in the army for so many years, have you ever been afraid of anyone?" ”

"I'm worried about the King of Nanyang who disappeared from the city inexplicably." Regarding the conspiracy theories about the palace and Su Yutian, he felt that there was still no need to tell Jiang Liuyu, so as not to worry her.

"At that time, we set up camp outside the city, and the water in the siege of Nanyang City was blocked, and so many people and horses of the King of Nanyang disappeared out of thin air, isn't it strange?" Su Jingye pulled her over and sat next to her.

"And later, I sent someone to investigate, but I didn't find any secret passages in the city." Jiang Liuyu groaned, and suddenly looked up at him, "Isn't it, do you suspect that there is a Nanyang King's internal response in the army?" ”

Met her inquiring eyes, Su Jingye raised her head and looked at the sky, "I don't know either, but I can't rule out this possibility." ”

"King Nanyang has never been a brave and unscrupulous person, in the face of the robbery of grain and grass, he must have come up with another way first, instead of escaping so quickly."

"Maybe he's old and afraid of death?" Jiang Liuyu shook her legs, which had been walking for too long and were a little tired.

"Afraid of death, he won't think about betraying the court and becoming a thief." Su Jingye hadn't thought about King Nanyang in any other direction.

"I think you're not just worried about King Nanyang." Jiang Liuyu exhaled a long breath, "I think what this little eunuch said may be true, maybe Your Majesty, it has already been hinted at in the letter that asked you to return to the court that day." ”

Thinking of the distorted letter he saw that night, Su Jingye suddenly opened his mouth. "Ruyu, you're right, we don't have to wait until tomorrow, we have to go back quickly."

"It's easy to be framed without thinking, and you're doing the right thing." In the end, after watching the palace fighting house drama for so many years, Jiang Liuyu still knows the routine very well, and after thinking about it, he came up with it.

The little eunuch was weak and unable to walk, so he was placed in a carriage where his weapons were placed, and he hurried with him. In the days when Su Jingye was stationed, he taught Jiang Liuyu to ride a horse, and the two walked side by side at the front of the team.

After a few days of driving, I finally arrived at the border of the capital. There is a bridge mountain here, although it is not high, but it stretches for nearly 100 miles, the trees on the mountain are thick, and there are many birds and beasts.

The girl was afraid of tanning, so Jiang Liuyu wore a hat on her head. The morning sun was particularly dazzling near noon, and the leaves were still covered with dew that had not completely dissipated, and it was almost impossible to see anything but the road in front of them.

Jiang Liuyu had been riding on the horse for so long that she felt a sore back and could barely straighten up. Jiang Liuyu rested on the horse's back for a while, and accidentally noticed that something was wrong with the plants in the woods, so he hurriedly rolled off the horse's back.

Su Jingye was startled, beckoned to all the troops behind her to stop, and ran in front of her, "Liuyu, are you too tired, let's rest for a while." ”

Jiang Liuyu wiped the sweat from his forehead, took off the hat, and blocked Su Jingye's head. "You see, the sun is too bright to see these strange places."

"This is a dryland reed, the toughest, usually no matter how strong the wind is, it can blow them over, but this reed obviously seems to have been broken by someone."

"But in the vicinity of this reed, no footprints of any people have been found, and it is estimated that they have been deliberately erased." Jiang Liuyu's words made Su Jingye suddenly vigilant.

"But looking at the scars of the broken reeds, many days must have passed." Jiang Liuyu touched the stem of a handful of reeds and found that it was very dry.

"That means there's been a large group of people here, but luckily it's not an ambush around here." Su Jingye breathed a sigh of relief for the time being, and Jiang Liuyu nodded, "Then let's go to the front and have a look." ”

After walking for about a mile, the trees there were noticeably reduced, and the messy grass, after a few days of recovery, had not had time to change back to its original state, so that they could vaguely distinguish which direction the leaf tip was facing.

Looking to the northeast, it is the most convenient mountain road leading from this bridge mountain to the capital. Between the huge rocks and under the high protruding sand, both of them found charcoal from burned branches.

Jiang Liuyu and Su Jingye glanced at each other, and after making sure that there was no one secretly following them around, they quietly walked back to their original place.

"Your Highness, where have you been?" Vice General Li rushed up to meet him, thinking that he was about to arrive in the capital, but the coach lost it.

Su Jingye made up a reason, "Fang Cai Liuyu was a little uncomfortable, so I took her to the forest to find herbs, she may have suffered from heat stroke." ”

"This day is gradually rising, the big guy has been on the road for so many days, he must not be able to stand it, it is better to rest first, and follow me into the capital tomorrow." Jiang Liuyu cooperated and weakened his legs, and Su Jingye hurriedly hugged him.

Vice General Li smiled, "The last general will do it." ”

After Vice General Li passed the word for a while, Captain Chen rushed over when he heard the sound. Jiang Liuyu lay on Su Jingye's body weakly, and looked at Captain Chen and frowned.

"Your Highness, you ......" Before Captain Chen could finish speaking, he was pulled down by Su Jingye and sat down, "Be careful that the partition wall has ears." ”

"You quietly send a few people to investigate this mountain, and be careful not to be discovered by other people in the army."

"Why is this still hiding from the people in the army?" Although Captain Chen is usually strict, he loves soldiers like a son, and he trusts every soldier under him very much.

Su Jingye rolled his eyes, wanting to change the topic, "Just now, Liuyu and I found traces of enemy activities over there, but we can't determine the current location of the enemy army, so we need you to send someone to investigate." ”

"The reason why I hid it from the army is because after driving for many days, everyone is tired, and if you keep your spirit tight because you are worried about the enemy attacking, everyone will not rest well, and it will affect the combat efficiency." Jiang Liuyu was afraid that he would miss something, so he continued with his words.
