268 Mystery (2nd Update)
Hearing Xia Yuhua's words, General Dongfang temporarily diverted his attention from Mo Yang, this thing is really a little scary, if he hadn't been in the barracks at the time, I'm afraid that he wouldn't have been able to bring people over so quickly, and according to what happened just now, even if it was a quarter of an hour late, Yuhua and they would be afraid that it would be more than lucky.
It turned out that the San'er and the others who were sent by Xia Yuhua in advance to explore the road in front of them did discover the whereabouts of this group of black-clothed people, but they were not sure whether these people wanted to do something to their own young lady at that time. When he was about to turn back and go to report, he was found and stopped by those people.
Although San'er and several people are above this group of black-clothed people in martial arts, how can they withstand the siege of so many people, except for San'er, the other two were injured, and one of them was very seriously injured. And the large group of black-clothed people blocked their way back to report the news, and in a hurry, San'er was still very clever, so he simply took a few people to break through to another place.
The most essential purpose of the group of black-clothed men was to set up an ambush to chase Xia Yuhua, so they didn't spend too much money to chase San'er and a few people, anyway, in their opinion, as long as they blocked the way for San'er and the others to turn back and report to Xia Yuhua and the others. It's just that they didn't expect that San'er and a few people would go to the northwest military camp for help.
At this point, this group of people was really negligent, and it was precisely because of their negligence that Xia Yuhua was given a chance to survive. Although Xia Dongqing has long since lost military power, some of the current main generals of the Northwest Army are Xia Dongqing's closest brothers, and at the same time, he has always secretly regarded him as the real commander of the Northwest, and he is still regarded by them as a general.
Therefore, I saw San'er and several people running to the army with scars to report the news. The Dongfang general didn't say a word, and immediately ordered to lead his troops to march to the rescue. Fortunately, he finally arrived, which saved the lives of Xia Yuhua and his party in time.
After listening to General Dongfang's words, Xia Yuhua realized that it was San'er who was witty and brave, which saved their lives. I saw that San'er had a big abrasion on his palm. She asked Xiangxue to take the medicine box and bandage it herself.
"Miss. This injury to his subordinates is not a big deal. San'er seemed a little embarrassed, he just did his best job, but he didn't expect to be treated like this by Miss.
"Nonsense, if you have an injury, you have to take medicine. If it's inflamed, it's troublesome, but your young lady is a doctor, so you don't have to fight with me about this. Xia Yuhua smiled. Soon he opened it very neatly: "By the way, what happened to the other people?" ”
San'er saw that Miss asked this, and quickly replied, "Thank you Miss for your concern." The two of them were a little seriously injured, so they had been left in the military for medical treatment, but there was no danger to their lives, so please don't worry. ”
"Yes, Yuhua, I have already ordered someone to give them healing and taking care of them, the two of them are very strong, and they are all skin injuries. It's not a big deal, just rest for two days. General Dongfang also said a few words. signaled Xia Yuhua not to worry too much: "Okay, this is not the place to talk, you better go back with me first." ”
The "battlefield" just now has also been cleaned up, and it is not too early, so General Dongfang will naturally take Yuhua and them back first. The group of men in black obviously wouldn't give up so easily, so he planned to directly send troops tomorrow to escort Yuhua and the others all the way back to Beijing.
Looking at the sky, Xia Yuhua didn't say anything, nodded, and the group directly followed General Dongfang back to his residence for a night.
General Dongfang didn't take Yuhua and the others back to the barracks, after all, it was not very convenient for his daughter's house to enter and leave that place, so he directly brought a few people back to his residence outside the barracks. After resting for a while and having dinner together, he called Yuhua and Mo Yang into his study and chatted privately.
Hearing Uncle Dongfang say that he would send troops to escort them all the way back tomorrow, Xia Yuhua immediately felt that it was inappropriate, so it was too public, and it would not be of any benefit to her, her father, or Uncle Dongfang.
So she naturally didn't agree with this method, but considering that those black-clothed people would indeed make another move, after several people discussed, they finally chose the compromise method mentioned by Mo Yang, and selected dozens of elite soldiers from General Dongfang to become ordinary people, and escorted them secretly in batches. This ensures safety without being too ostentatious and eye-catching.
"This matter is still negotiable, but Yuhua, who wants to kill you?" General Dongfang said very worriedly: "This person behind the scenes must be found, otherwise he is in the dark, and even if he arrives in the capital, it will be difficult to guarantee his safety." ”
"I think I already know who's behind this." After Xia Yuhua thought about it, he looked straight at Mo Yang: "Brother Mo, have you already guessed it?" ”
Mo Yang nodded with a smile and said, "As soon as the man in red appeared, I had a general guess, and when I heard what he said, I suddenly excluded several other people. ”
"Me too, I can't be sure yet, but thanks to his last two sentences, I think he said it unintentionally, if he let his master know, I think it would be good to pull out his mouthy tongue." Xia Yuhua couldn't help laughing, and her playful appearance finally revealed a rare ease.
And General Dongfang couldn't understand it, seeing that Yuhua and Mo Yang were so tacitly accommodating, but they didn't even say a name, how did they know that it was the same person?
"Who are you talking about behind the scenes? Why can't I understand it? General Dongfang is also a straight soldier, and if he didn't understand, he immediately asked, and it was too uncomfortable to hold it in his heart.
"Prince!" Seeing this, Mo Yang didn't go around in circles, and directly said his answer, and then asked Xia Yuhua, "What Yuhua thinks should be him, right?" ”
"Well, that's right!" Xia Yuhua smiled affirmatively, and secretly said that it was still Brother Mo who knew her thoughts best, and at the same time, he could see through the essence of the matter at a glance.
When General Dongfang heard this answer, he was obviously surprised, and asked in disbelief: "Prince? No way? There is no direct interest between you and the crown prince, so why should he send someone to take your life? ”
"Uncle Dongfang, although there is no direct interest relationship between me and the crown prince, but think about it, now the emperor's body can only be healed by me, if I die, can the emperor's life be saved?"
Hearing this, General Dongfang suddenly realized, no matter how stupid he was, he could imagine that once the emperor died suddenly, the successor would definitely be the crown prince, so from this point of view, it is not unreasonable for the prince to want to take Yuhua's life. Although the crown prince is the rightful successor, but in the past year or two, there seem to be more and more obstacles to the succession of the crown prince, especially recently, there has been an incident of the seven princes in the court, and the second prince is also getting more and more powerful, which seriously threatens the status of the crown prince.
What's more, the emperor is not very old now, if he wants to wait for him to continue smoothly after a hundred years, the prince doesn't know how long he has to wait, and after such a long time, it is inevitable that things will change, and it is normal for the prince to be worried.
And if the emperor dies now, then on the whole, whether it is the legal right to continue or most of the forces in the court are the most conducive to the succession of the crown prince, the sooner the succession to the throne, the more beneficial it is for the prince, on the contrary, the later it is, the greater the risk in the middle.
Therefore, for the princes, before they are ready to scoop down the crown prince, they naturally don't want the emperor to leave like this now, but the prince is the opposite, if the emperor dies, the only one who can get the benefit is him. And as long as some Xia Yuhua dies, then the emperor's life will naturally not have a few days left, so the middle-aged man who is yin and yang and always habitually stilts his orchid finger must be the prince's person, and there is no shortage of such rootless goods in the East Palace.
After everything was sorted out, General Dongfang couldn't help but gasp, in this case, wouldn't Yuhua be too dangerous? Even if the prince's people can't succeed along the way, I'm afraid it will be even more dangerous after returning to the capital: "How can that be good, the prince is not an ordinary person, if he is eyeing you, where is he willing to give up easily?" ”
Xia Yuhua sighed slightly, there was no better way for a while. On the contrary, it was Mo Yang, who lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking there, and his expression was faintly excited.
Seeing Mo Yang's appearance, Xia Yuhua couldn't help asking, "Brother Mo, have you thought of any good way?" And General Dongfang also hurriedly looked at Mo Yang, looking forward to it.
When Mo Yang heard Xia Yuhua's words, he raised his eyes to look at them, and said calmly: "I have thought of a way to kill two birds with one stone, not only can you remove the threat of the crown prince to you, but also give the fifth prince a big gift by the way, so that he owes me a big favor, of course, it can also be regarded as a handle!" ”
"The Fifth Prince? How did this involve the five princes again? Before Xia Yuhua could squeak, General Dongfang couldn't figure it out, although he was also aware of some secret connections between the Xia family and their Xia family army and the five princes, but why did Mo Yang deliberately scoop the handle of the five princes?
General Dongfang didn't understand, but Xia Yuhua was excited, and while signaling Uncle Dongfang not to worry, he asked Mo Yang what he wanted to do, if he could really achieve such an effect, it would naturally be the best, after all, Zheng Moran's current or future identity would be different, so their defense against people was indispensable.
