This time, although the second prince seemed a little restless, Shen Zhizhang and Shen Zhiyan's communication with him did not achieve any effect. Now the second prince is ready to send an arrow, and Daliang has no way out of him. After the situation is reversed, the prince may turn the tables at any time, and only by "trusting" the Northern Night Kingdom can he get a glimmer of life.

Maybe this is the reason why the Northern Night Kingdom dared not send a person to follow, and let the second prince and the Shen family meet. When an ambitious person is at the end of his rope, he naturally has no choice but to grab the side and give it a go.

Under the dim lights in the camp, Shen Zhiyan was carefully considering the map of northern Xinjiang. Outside a tent door, Shen Zhizhang, who was just about to enter, took the medicine sent by Duan Lanting and said, "Mr. Duan, I'll just bring the medicine in." It's not early, so go back and rest early. ”

Duan Lanting nodded, listening to the violent and dull coughing sound in the tent, he couldn't help but persuade: "Let Grandpa rest earlier, if you stay up like this, your body will really collapse!" ”

Shen Zhizhang sighed, shook his head and said, "I have persuaded it, it's useless." After saying that, he opened the curtain and went inside, and handed the medicine to Shen Zhiyan: "Big brother, drink the medicine first." ”

Shen Zhiyan didn't raise his head, he directly reached out and took it and poured it down, put the bowl aside and asked in a flat tone, "Mr. Duan is outside?" ”

"I was here just now, and I asked him to go back and rest."

Shen Zhiyan turned around and left the desk, walked to the door of the tent, opened the curtain and looked out, before coming back and saying with a serious expression: "There is something for you to do." ”

"Big brother, please speak."

"Find out where this letter went." Shen Zhiyan took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Shen Zhizhang and said, "Send it the same way." ”

"Whose letter?" Shen Zhizhang looked at the envelope suspiciously, and asked Chi Qian: "Mr. Duan's letter?" ”

"Hmm." Shen Zhiyan slowly sat on the chair and coughed a few times before saying: "We have only been in Northern Xinjiang for seven or eight days, and this is the fourth letter he has sent, and the address is Suzhou. Their whole family is in the capital, why did they send a letter to Suzhou? Even if you have relatives and friends in Suzhou, it will not be so frequent. ”

"Big brother thinks that Mr. Duan has a problem?" Shen Zhizhang pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you read the content of the letter?" ”

"The letter is sealed, so it's hard to open it." Shen Zhiyan shook his head, lowered his voice and expressed the doubts in his heart: "Zhizhang, have you thought about it, everyone knows about my physical weakness, and only this person dares me to ask for my life to go to the Northern Night Country." How can he be sure that I won't die of illness in another country? ”

"Because Mr. Duan is here!" As soon as he said this, Shen Zhizhang quickly understood what Shen Zhiyan meant: "But Mr. Duan was invited by Jinshu, and it was because his younger brother rushed to take the exam that we met by chance." ”

"It's because the sixth princess invited me here, so now I have to listen to his arrangement to save the sixth princess, right?" Shen Zhiyan frowned: "Recently, I've been thinking, what good can I do with him when I come to Northern Xinjiang?" If I'm not mistaken, this letter should have something to do with my condition. After all, if I die, their chips will be gone. ”

"It's possible, Duan Lanting is still at the door, let me advise you to rest early, otherwise your body will collapse." Shen Zhizhang pondered for a moment, and quickly denied his statement: "Big brother, maybe we have become a frightened bird?" As a doctor, it's normal for him to care about your physical condition. Or maybe Suzhou has his relatives and friends, such as wives and concubines......"

"So check it out." Shen Zhiyan interrupted him and said, "If he is undercover, things will not be simple. ”

"Why?"

"Think for yourself." Shen Zhiyan no longer talked about his views directly, but induced Shen Zhizhang's thinking: "According to the letter we received from the sixth princess, the sixth princess should be in the hands of a third party, not in the hands of the second prince, right?" ”

"Yes, if it was the second prince, he wouldn't want our Shen family to go on an expedition, so why add one more enemy?" Shen Zhizhang's mind turned quickly: "It shows that at that time, the brocade book was in the hands of a third party." ”

"And after I later announced that I was seriously ill, the other party did not abuse the princess at the first time, but sent Duan Lanting to see a doctor." Shen Zhiyan followed the temptation: "What does this mean?" ”

"Duan Lanting is inquiring about the news!" Shen Zhizhang quickly followed this line of thought and said: "Maybe they are waiting for us to let go? ”

"Nope." Shen Zhiyan evoked a self-deprecating smile and said, "We made a wrong step and let the other party find out the problem." ”

"What?"

"We revealed to them that we already know the truth that the sixth princess is not dead." Shen Zhiyan pointed out the crux of the problem and explained: "At that time, Duan Lanting asked about the grave of the sixth princess, and your sister-in-law told him. It stands to reason that our family has received a letter from the sixth princess, knowing that people come back from the dead, even if they don't believe it, what should we do? Report to the emperor, Da Cha Techa, right? Will you tell him calmly, where are you going to go to the grave? ”

"That's right!" Shen Zhizhang patted his head and figured out the crux of the problem: "After we received the letter, we only regarded it as a secret contest, and we were afraid that it would be unfavorable to Jinshu publicly, so we planned to follow the vine at that time, so we ......"

"We want to plan what we do, but we forget human nature." Shen Zhiyan said: "We treated Duan Lanting as an outsider, and told him that the sixth princess was dead, so the other party did not get the expected effect. ”

"We still testified against the prince even though we knew that the sixth princess was not dead, and in the eyes of a third party, it was naturally ...... I'm going to lure the snake out of the hole! Shen Zhizhang's eyes widened, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt: "So, they directly sent the brocade book to the Northern Night Kingdom?" Disrupt our plans and only follow his arrangement? ”

"It's a point, and there's one."

"The Jinshu was neither done by the crown prince nor by the second prince......" Shen Zhizhang paced lightly, and his brain fell into a brainstorm: "At that time, the Jinshu fell into the hands of a third party, and now it is in the Northern Night Kingdom...... Could it be that he has joined forces with the Northern Night Country? No, if he joins forces with the Northern Night Kingdom, he won't invite the Shen family to go on an expedition......"

"Think about today's second prince again." Shen Zhiyan mentioned: "What did you think of?" ”

"It is very likely that the second prince was used as a hostage without knowing it, and he was just the reason why the Northern Night Kingdom provoked the dispute between the two countries. The reason why it is called the Shen family is to resist the invasion of the Northern Night Kingdom? He was afraid that the eldest brother would not go, and he was afraid that the emperor would not agree to the eldest brother's request, so the sixth princess was the best excuse? Shen Zhizhang boldly said what he thought in his heart, but saw Shen Zhiyan nodding approvingly: "Yes, there is one more point." ”

"And?" Shen Zhizhang raised his eyebrows and looked back at Shen Zhiyan, and asked in surprise: "I'll do it!" What a big game does this have to be? ”

"And then there's the most important point." Shen Zhiyan smiled slightly and said: "Now that the second prince has lost power, the crown prince has lost his morality, and the two countries are at war, it is the best time to seize the throne." He originally wanted to join forces with us, and let us help him deal with the second prince and the Northern Night Kingdom in Northern Xinjiang. Therefore, saving the sixth princess in the carriage shows his sincerity. What if we helped him get his wish again? He sent the six princesses to the north of Xinjiang where life and death are uncertain, aren't you afraid that we will go back to the capital when the time comes? ”

"This shows ......" Shen Zhizhang's body trembled suddenly: "Jinshu is not in the Northern Night Country!" It's still in his hands! ”

"Correct solution!" Shen Zhiyan high-fived and praised: "Zhizhang, you did a good job." Although this is only our conjecture, the process is perfect and reasonable, and you and I will think about this tonight, so that we will not be held hostage in the future. ”

"In other words......" Shen Zhizhang's eyes flickered, and the whole person was in good spirits: "It is very likely that the brocade book of the Northern Night Kingdom is fake?" ”

"Quite possibly." Shen Zhiyan speculated: "With the other party's ability, he can provoke the relationship between the prince and the second prince, and it is not difficult to find one or two stand-ins to calculate so many people." The six princesses live in a simple and silent life, and it is not impossible to confuse the truth with the false. ”

"Quite possibly." Shen Zhizhang was excited: "Big brother, I think what you said is very reasonable. ”

"Hmm......" Shen Zhiyan tilted his head and coughed violently a few times before he said in a dumb voice: "It's just possible." The second prince is afraid that the crown prince will turn the tables, and he should start a war soon, and it is estimated that there will be a war soon. We have a plan in advance so that we don't get disrupted by the hostages. ”

Shen Zhizhang patted Shen Zhiyan's back and said, "Big brother, you still have to pay attention to your body......"

"Don't worry, Duan Lanting won't let me die." Shen Zhiyan teased one or two, and soon remembered what he told him: "Oh, that's right." Don't forget to check out who lives at No. 5 Pingchang Street in Suzhou. ”

"Good!" Shen Zhizhang nodded and said, "My old friend Gao Xun happens to be in Suzhou, so I will write to him...... Oh, speaking of old friends, Hou Zhanfei's imitation handwriting is first-class, he happens to be in the army, why don't you ask him to see if he can imitate it, let's take it apart and take a look at what is written in the letter? Now that time is so short, it's too much time to ask back and forth! ”

"You're not the second son of the Hou family...... Did you fall out? Shen Zhiyan kindly mentioned: "Besides, it's not good to peek at other people's letters......

"Tsk......" Shen Zhizhang said cheekily: "The fall out also depends on the situation...... This will be an emergency, and Brother Hou will definitely help me! Besides, it is he who believes in him, and it is not our turn to be immoral. ”

Shen Zhiyan choked, and he had nothing to say!
