All the way north, Bai Heran took the sword shadow and winter snow, and Jun Murin took Luo Xiu, with only one purpose: to find the Nine Emperor Princes.

But the Nine Emperor Princes are so easy to find, if they can be found easily, the people in the palace have already brought him back, where is there any need for the two of them to go out in person.

Before leaving the palace gate, the people in the palace sent back the news, saying that the last time they saw the Nine Emperor Princes was in Gaoping County, the capital of Hezhou. They were separated from the Nine Emperor Princes in Gaoping County, the palace returned to the palace, and the Nine Emperor Princes continued to travel north.

Dongxue guessed whether it would be Guo Wentian's people who were still ambushed outside, and whether it could be that in addition to the 200,000 private soldiers, there were private soldiers left outside, waiting for an ambush. And the Nine Emperor Princes only walked away without a word, and it was difficult to break through alone.

But Jun Murin didn't think so, he suspected that Guo Wentian had other foreign aid, hiding in a place they didn't know. And this foreign aid is not a private soldier, but other forces, the reason why the Nine Emperor Princes have not returned is to contain them, and it is also to provide them with clues.

But where is the clue?

Gaoyang County is not close, and the group keeps urging the horses. Bai Heran remembered that when he was in the Qingming Palace, Jun Mulin offered to go to Gebu with her, so he asked him: "If you go with me, aren't you afraid that there will be no one to guard the Eastern Qin?" The remnants of the Ye Guo family have made a comeback, who will lead the troops? If the Chinese New Year's Eve happens again, who will deal with it? ”

Jun Murin glanced at her, "There must be worries, but you can't just stay in Shangdu City and wait because you're worried." The old man thought all day and night that he would pass it on to me in the future, and if it was really passed on to me, then I, as the king of a country, would not be able to personally lead the troops into battle in the event of war, and even the soldiers and horses in the world would not be able to hold them in my hands all the time. There is always a need for someone to take over my current position, and the sooner they are cultivated, that is, they will grow up sooner, and we will not have to worry too much about the future. ”

"Who are you going to train?" She couldn't think of a suitable candidate after thinking about it, and finally thought of her third uncle Bai Xingcang, but shook her head again, "You want to count on my third uncle?" But he is already a generation older than me, and he is getting older and older every year, and he will retire one day. You can't ask everyone to be like Guo Wentian, who still has the energy and physical strength to lead troops to fight when he is seventy or eighty. What's more, I see that Guo Wentian is also holding on, compared with those young soldiers that night, his movements are much slower, and he is obviously too old. ”

Jun Mulin nodded, "You have a point, although your third uncle can last for ten or twenty years, there will always be a day when he can't move, so cultivating the younger generation is the top priority now." Dye, that kid from your third uncle's family has this ambition? ”

Bai He was stunned for a moment, "You said Feng'er?" She thought of the young man who had been playing with Bai Haoxuan recently, and a smile appeared on her face, "It's a good candidate, I originally wanted him to learn something else, don't practice martial arts and read the art of war all day long." It seems that he is still more interested in the path his father took, at least when it comes to the art of war, it is the first way, just like Xuan'er talking about medical books, which is very introductory. I promised him to talk to you for him and let you give you some advice, and if you really have this heart, and I happen to fulfill my promise, the child must be very happy. ”

Jun Murin sighed: "With a sister like you, he should be happy." That's it, if I have the opportunity, I will teach him, and it can be regarded as cultivating a confidant for myself. The future brother-in-law, such a person is more at ease to use. He smiled at Bai Heran, "The person who can make our family dyeed and dyed must not be wrong, I believe this person." ”

"Don't trust me too much." Bai Heran sighed, "At least that Yu Ben in the palace I looked away." ”

"That's not an eyesight." Jun Mulin waved his hand, "It's just that people have changed, and what is missing is a suitable opportunity." The reason why Yu Ben defected was because you healed Little Eleven's body, if there was no such thing, I am afraid that he would not have any rebellion in his life. O eunuchs, their bodies are mutilated, and their minds have changed from the moment they choose to purify. Once the ancestors of the Eastern Qin Dynasty also proposed not to use eunuchs, but it turned out that the palace was unstable and people's hearts were uncertain, so it has been used. Dyeing, if you don't like it, in the future, we will dismiss the palace slaves when we get married, and seal the clean room. ”

"Forget it!" Bai Heran shook his head, "The palace slaves have already cut their bodies, and if you dismiss them again, how do you let them live?" As for sealing the net room, I don't know if I'm thinking too much, in the case that there are still palace slaves serving the royal family, you have sealed the net room, which means that there will be no more people like palace slaves in the future, what do you want the existing palace slaves to think? They will feel that they have not caught up with the good time, and they will begin to envy the male servants who are not eunuchs who enter the palace later, and gradually they will become resentful, and become like Yu Ben, and go to extremes. So you see, there are many stereotypes that even if we want to change, we can't really change them according to our wishes. ”

From night to day, and then to the sky and darkness, the group did not stop, and finally rushed to the trail outside Gaoping County.

There was no shortage of people and horses were tired, so they had to stop and find some forage for the horses.

There is a post house outside Gaoping County, but it is not opened by the government. Jun Murin asked Luo Xiu to find the post house to ask for forage, and the winter snow was a little worried: "Is it safe?" How could a post house suddenly appear in this place? ”

Luo Xiu smiled: "Don't worry, it's safe, and the post house didn't appear suddenly, but it has always been there, although it is not opened by the official family, but it is the business station of the Hong family, and there is nothing to do." After saying that, he walked straight towards the post house.

But soon he came back again, and he ran back, "Master, something happened." ”

Bai Heran's heart chuckled, and he heard Luo Xiu say: "There is still grass in the post house, but everyone is dead,"

Jun Murin rushed in first, and Bai Heran followed, and what he saw was a corpse, a total of six.

She frowned at the time, "It's poisoning." After a closer look, he immediately asserted, "It's not the poison of the Central Plains, but from Gebu." ”

He asked her, "How can you be sure it's from Gobu?" ”

Hakuzuru took a deep breath, "Because my cousin died, and it was this poison that hit me." She is a Gebu person, and the poison was hidden on her in order to poison the Guo family, and in the end, she also died with Xiang Xiaoyu. When she talked about plum fruits, her heart was sad.

Jian Ying stepped forward, examined the corpses one by one, and searched around the inn, but found no clues.

"The person who poisoned him is a veteran, not only poisoned the people in the inn, but he should have also cleaned up the scene, so that no clues were left." Jian Ying pointed to these corpses and this inn and said, "There are obvious traces of being cleaned up here, His Royal Highness Nine should have been here, and it is even very likely that he has left important clues here, so the Gobu people have cleaned up this place in order to prevent us from finding him." ”

Jun Murin and Bai Heran looked at each other, and their faces were not good-looking. He said: "It seems that the trip to Gobu is going to be put on the agenda in advance. Dyeing, we may not be able to wait for the fifth brother to be buried, or I will go first, and you will catch up with me after he is buried? ”

She thought for a moment and shook her head, "Let's go back to Beijing first, and then we'll set off together." ”

The group did not delay, found fodder to feed the horses, and set off immediately.

There is no time to take care of the corpse in the post house, and the white crane has dyed a poisonous array, so that others dare not break into this place, and at the same time, it can also protect the corpse from destruction. When you return to Beijing, you will send someone over, the corpses of the merchants of the Red family cannot be thrown into the wilderness, they must be transported back to the capital.

This road is the road to Hangan, and it is clear that Jun Murin is the one who goes in the direction of Gebu, but the Gebu people chose to ambush the Nine Emperor Princes here, which shows that they have already calculated and made a choice. There is no need for them to chase further north, the direction is not right, and it is useless to chase. I had to go back to Beijing first, and then go in the direction of Gebu.

On the way back to Beijing, the atmosphere became even more dreary, and it was not until he arrived at the gate of Shangdu City for another day and a half that the speed of urging the horses slowed down again.

Bai Heran is now very reluctant to come and go at the North City Gate, because Jun Mufeng's life was buried in this place, and every time she passes by, she will remember that the second prince stabbed Jun Mufeng in the heart, and a living life is gone, and she will never see that person's fox-like smile again, and her heart is cramping.

Jun Murin stretched out his hand to her on horseback and held it with both hands, so that she could feel at ease.

No one in the capital city is celebrating the New Year anymore, the royal mourning, and the two princes are lost at once, who dares to put up the lights at this time? So every household put away the red light, and many families even tied white cloth and hung white flowers at the door to show their condolences.

Hakuzuru didn't like this atmosphere very much, but there was no way to escape it, so he could only ride his horse in mourning all over the city.

She didn't enter the palace, and the affairs in the palace were arranged by Jun Murin, and she had to go to the Zhenbei General's Mansion first.

The third uncle should be back in Beijing soon, such a big thing happened in Beijing, with Guo Wentian's death and Jun Murin's imminent departure, the burden on the shoulders of Bai Xingcang, the third master of the Bai family, will be even heavier. She had to let the third aunt be mentally prepared, including Bai Haofeng's matter, and she had to tell her third aunt to think about whether she wanted her son to embark on this road.

The Zhenbei General's Mansion was also smashed by Guo Jiajun, although there were not many valuable items, but it was not easy to clean up.

When the white crane entered the house, the third lady just woke up after squinting for a while, and when she heard that she had arrived, she immediately got up and went out to greet her.

Bai Heran was not polite, and seeing that the house was almost cleaned up, he told the third lady about his intention and what happened in Gaoping County, and then shook the third lady's hand and said: "I didn't come to let the third aunt make a decision immediately, I and His Royal Highness Ten will leave for Gebu soon, and the third aunt has a day to think carefully." It's just that the third uncle has to take over the troops as soon as he comes back, and His Royal Highness the Tenth will arrange these things with the emperor, and the third aunt has a preparation in her heart. ”

The third lady nodded, "Ah Ran, don't worry, your third uncle has led the army for many years, and he has also followed His Royal Highness Ten for many years, so he won't mess up." As for Feng'er......" she smiled bitterly, "that kid has an idea, and he can make his own decisions." ”

Coming out of the Zhenbei General's Mansion, Bai Heran originally wanted to go directly to King Ling's Mansion, but Donggong Yuan came looking for her at this time......
