Chapter 69: Taking advantage of public sentiment
What's the use of saying you want to follow now? It's too late to say anything. But it's not all useless, and maybe they can do wonders this time.
"Do they know about the prince's imprisonment in the capital this time?"
"I already know, I think it's very strange, why is the prince so dignified that he is imprisoned? Didn't he just make a name for himself? Lu Fengnian asked a little strangely.
I sneered and said, "What else can it be?" The power is high. King Ruian was originally a prince who participated in the seizure of the heir, and he was always feared by the emperor, so he was put to suffer in a place like Ning'an County, which was not rich. Now that the prince has made military merits and is even more powerful, he is not allowed by the emperor, so he will detain the prince in the capital under the guise of entering Beijing to report on his work. Fengnian, you have to spread this word in Ning'an County and Zezhou, let the people talk about this matter, the more powerful the discussion, the better, and gradually spread to other places, when the time comes, I see how the emperor will react? ”
"I'm afraid the emperor will be even more jealous of the prince, and maybe it will threaten the prince's life." Lu Fengnian said with some concern.
I shook my head and said: "The more this kind of remarks appear, the more the emperor will not attack the prince, otherwise it will really become what the people say, they are afraid of the prince, and they are even more afraid of the prince's meritorious service, and they are anxious to eradicate dissidents for themselves." Fengnian, now Zezhou and Ning'an County are not safe, I don't know if there are still lurking enemies, you must be careful, don't act alone, so as not to be assassinated, you know? ”
The more people go out, the safer it is, no matter how powerful the enemy is, it is impossible to kill so many people silently, right?
After some discussion, we finally decided to disperse into Beijing, some of us will take the official road, and when we encounter problems, we will find a way to fool the past, and some people will take the small road, just like the people who take the official road, if we can kill the enemy silently, it would be the best.
There are also some people who go to those uninhabited mountains and forests, although it is a little slower, but it is better to have no one to chase and intercept, and the safety is better. Only when food and fresh water are replenished, I will go to crowded places, and I will inquire about the news by the way.
I mixed in with the people who entered the mountain, stopped and stopped along the way, and heard a lot of things about Ruian Wang's Ning'an County, but these people had not been in contact with the center of the matter, and they didn't know much, most of them were useless news. The only important thing in it is that under the pressure of public opinion from the people, the emperor has lifted King Ruian out of prison and locked him in the palace in the capital. Although they were also treated with good food and drink, they were not allowed to come out, which was no different from house arrest.
That's the best news, at least there is no threat to King Ryan's safety, and we just have to do our own thing. Maybe King Ryan also has his own forces in the capital, and if there is any movement on our side, they can not only know everything, but also cooperate with us appropriately to make it easier for us.
But when I think of Liu Yufei, I am even more angry, he always asks me about my plans. I don't know him well at all, so why tell him? He just did what I told him to do, so why should he ask me about anything else? really didn't fulfill the responsibilities of a subordinate at all.
If it weren't for the fact that he was one of King Ryan's men, I would have killed him a long time ago.
Yue Baiyu and Wuhui were also very disgusted with this person, and Yue Baiyu once told him bluntly, don't ask more, just do things, why do you ask so much? Want to rebel?
Liu Yufei also said innocently: "Only when you know the specific plan of the princess, can your subordinates cooperate more perfectly!" In the past, when the prince was here, he told me everything, why didn't he get to the princess? ”
Wuhui was finally completely enraged, put a sword against Liu Yufei's neck, and said with a sneer: "There is a saying: The more you know, the faster you will die, you know? You ask so much, do you want to die quickly? ”
"Of course not! But the subordinates are not convinced! Why do you know everything, but I don't! In this case, how can the subordinates do things for the princess! Liu Yufei said depressedly.
I sneered and said, "Because they are my confidants, and you are not, you are King Ryan's person, not my person, understand?" ”
Liu Yufei finally understood, put away the sword without returning, Liu Yufei's face was ugly, and he said heavily: "Princess, my subordinates will definitely use their best efforts to prove that their subordinates are loyal to the prince and the princess!" You are all my masters, and your words will be fulfilled by your subordinates with their lives! ”
I was startled, and instinctively reacted: "How did your princes train them?" Shouldn't you just recognize King Ryan as your master? Although I am his princess, you should only listen to him? Why do they all have to die and swear allegiance to me? It's so weird! ”
"Princess, because you are our mistress, what's so strange about that? Since the prince has recognized you as his princess, then we should recognize you as the mistress! Liu Yufei also asked strangely.
I wondered, could this kind of thing be allegiance? I glanced at Yue Baiyu suspiciously.
Yue Baiyu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm not like them, I'm not a dead man, I can choose another lord." And we are loyal to you because you yourself have the qualities that make us admire, you yourself are an admirable woman, and we respect and cherish you more. ”
I can't understand the thinking of these men, but after knowing that Liu Yufei has no malicious intent, I can be a little patient with his character of being willing to break the casserole and ask to the end, and within the range that I can accept, try to tell him as much information as possible, so as not to let him run around like a headless fly.
Because I couldn't ride a horse in the mountains, I took me to speed forward with light skills without returning, and it took me ten days to reach the capital, which was already the deadline we had agreed. We pretended to be a young couple, took fake identity documents into the capital, and when we arrived at the contact point, there were already many people waiting for us.
"You have finally arrived, if it weren't for the fact that the princess is a woman and is the target of their investigation, otherwise you should really ride over." Yue Baiyu said excitedly. As soon as we arrived, the hanging stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
But I was dissatisfied, and said, "Why should I pretend to be a husband and wife with you?" You're so old with me, it's enough to be my father! In the future, you will dress up as my uncle! ”
"Why? Am I that old? I'm in the prime of my youth! Besides, what's so bad about being older? When you are older, you know how to feel sorry for women! If it's a stunned young man who doesn't understand anything, he won't bully you to death! Wuhui retorted.
