At the end of September, there were not many territories in Great Xia that remained neutral, and the attention of the northern leaders was on the side of Hu Yue, and they had deployed heavy troops at the junction of the two countries of Xingyao River, and they did not dare to be distracted from looking south. No matter who wins or loses, they have room to turn around, and if they lose their land when they are distracted, they will almost certainly die no matter who wins or loses.

The smaller swinging territory in the middle is extinguished, and the attachment is attached, no one cares what they think, don't learn from the Xishan collar to find a thick thigh to hold and wait to receive a box lunch.

In the south, except for the auspicious realm's clear support for the second prince, the territories along the lake in the west of the North Xingyao River have not yet chosen their camp and are still neutral, once the three western realms have decided the winner, it will be time for them to take sides.

The fief of the second prince has been returned to the kingdom as a bargaining chip for concessions, and there is only a relatively quiet Zhuangzi in the south of the royal capital Xiazhou City for summer retreat. Although he can still travel freely between the villa and the royal capital, the main roads along the way and to the outside world have been controlled by the eldest prince, and the second prince is now like a turtle in an urn, and life and death are between the eldest prince's thoughts.

Just when the training of the auspicious navy was in full swing, the six sons stationed in the royal capital office arranged for special agents to enter the palace.

After the second prince learned that auspicious people were coming, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the wrinkles on his forehead were a little lighter, and he immediately ordered the study to receive him.

The person who came was of medium stature and ordinary appearance, and with the eyes of the second prince, he could find that this person was unusual, especially a pair of eyes that were crystal clear, clearly reflecting the haggard appearance of the second prince now.

"The captain of the villain's special service team, Cricket, has seen His Highness. The man who called himself a cricket said.

The second prince was not uncomfortable because of his strange name, and said lightly: "Why did you come to my house in the blue sky and daylight?"

The cricket arched his hand and replied: "Now the situation is more blue and swaggering into the mansion, the less attention will be noticed, not only is His Royal Highness's palace full of spies, but even some people in the palace are afraid that they are not very clean, especially the people around them." ”

When the second prince heard this, his eyes suddenly froze, and he stared at the cricket with a heavy face for a while, and then sat down on the fine nanmu chaise longue, only staring at the snow-white Yongsheng fine porcelain teacup without saying a word, as if the white mist steaming in the cup contained the supreme Zen machine, and he could break this crisis if he understood it thoroughly.

The cricket waited quietly for a while, and seeing that the second prince still didn't mean to speak, he stepped forward and said softly: "Don't hide it from Your Highness, our ten-person team has been lurking in the royal capital for half a year, and my family master has an order that once His Highness's safety is beyond the controllable range, he must use all means to help His Highness get out of trouble." ”

"So, now that the situation is out of control, my safety is no longer guaranteed, right?" said the second prince absentmindedly.

"Yes, we have fought each other several times, we have injured two people, and the other party has died five, and we are quite skilled, but we have a tendon in our brain. The cricket smiled as she spoke, and was actually a little feminine and shy.

"A tendon?" The second prince heard that his brother's minions were also talking about it, and his expression began to slowly normalize.

"In terms of skill, we will lose one-on-one, but ten against ten will lose the opponent, and that's why we are now unscathed. The other party has been very careful in his recent actions, and he is afraid that there are some great people in his hands, and on weekdays, there are just some small fish and shrimp staring outside the house, tracking the servants who come in and out. "The cricket said truthfully," In addition, according to the news of the fourth inquiry, His Royal Highness has been bewitched by the strategist Gao Jin, thinking that it is the luck of Daxia to cut off His Highness's wing wounds after all, so it is better to skip this link and directly get rid of His Highness, so that His Highness's leaders will have no leader, so that His Highness will be able to save worry and effort. ”

The second prince didn't know this, but he had decided to retreat, and most of the things that should not have been handed over have been handed over, and now the only thing he can rely on is his own personal guard and the back hand of the auspicious leader, and the other territories are beyond the reach of the whip, and the hand cannot reach the base camp of His Royal Highness. Now he can only look forward to the magical auspicious collar to give him some comfort.

thought that his concession could alleviate the contradictions between the two sides and prevent civil strife from occurring, so as to keep the luck of Great Xia, but who knew that his brother was not him after all, and the situation was still stumbling to this point, and he was already in a dilemma.

"I heard that there are many Shilin students who have come to Jixiang these days, but is there such a thing?" the second prince suddenly asked an irrelevant word.

"The little one also heard about this, His Highness has a lot of scholars here, and now it is safer to have an auspicious collar, and the atmosphere is trendy, and the architecture, customs, and government affairs are different from those in the mainland, so it is not surprising that it can attract people from Shilin to go. Speaking of this, the cricket also felt that there was light on his face, and now who would mention the auspicious collar is the ominous collar and the cursed collar?

"Yes, now that the various territories are constantly fighting and our side is at a disadvantage, it is indeed a normal choice for Shilin to go to Jixiang. The second prince's tone was a little low, he had an unshirkable responsibility for the current situation, he still evaluated his brother from the perspective of his family with basically zero political talent, and the sensuality was worrying, you have a reason not to like him, but you have no reason to hate him!

"Please hurry up, Your Highness, we can't take too many people away at one time, the situation on Your Highness's side may change at any time, and we only have three days at most. "The cricket still asked the second prince for help.

Ji Xiang Ling, Government Council.

"Lord, is it inappropriate to hand over the lives of His Royal Highness's family to these more than ten people?" Zhao Sheng had reason to raise this suspicion, in his opinion, Wang Xuan was a little arrogant, and he didn't take the royal family's combat power seriously, once the matter was defeated, the second prince's family would definitely be poisoned.

Wang Xuan didn't care about Zhao Sheng's questioning, and said calmly: "We are saving people, not robbing people, and more people will do bad things." Now that the situation has reached a critical moment, it seems to outsiders that the longer the two sides fight, the more conducive to the safety of His Royal Highness. In fact, otherwise, this will only make His Highness determined to get rid of him, you must know that this Great Xia is now His Highness's country, and he has no reason to mutilate himself. The more chaotic the Great Xia fought, the more difficult it was to recover after the war, and His Highness, who wanted to be a holy monarch, was unwilling to destroy his dreams with his own hands. ”

"But what role can just ten people play?" Zhao Sheng was still worried.

"It's okay, just wait for the good news. Now I'm worried about whether His Royal Highness, a Buddhist person, is willing to come to my auspicious collar, and I'm afraid that he will go to the dark with one tendon and one way. ”

Three days later, the cricket went to the palace as usual, and this time he was going to take the second highness and his family to leave the royal capital and go to Jixiangling.

"Captain Cricket, I have a son and two daughters, and a wife and a concubine are entrusted to you, and I hope to ensure that they are well-treated, and I Zhao have thanked me for this. After that, the second prince bowed deeply to the cricket, and the cricket was shocked and frightened, and hurriedly avoided it: "Your Highness can't, my lord has ordered that His Highness must be sent safely to Jixiangling, His Highness will fail the mission if he doesn't leave, and going back is also dealt with by military law, and I hope His Highness will understand my difficulties." Besides, if you stay in the green mountains, you are not afraid of no firewood, the situation has not yet reached an irreparable point, so why should Your Highness wronged yourself. ”

"It has nothing to do with grievances, I have prepared a letter, you can hand it over to your master, and he will not embarrass you. The Second Highness took out a letter that had been prepared from his cuffs, handed it to the cricket with both hands, and the cricket had to take it with both hands, hide it in the inner lining, and put it away closely.

"If I leave, as far as I know my brother, he will not rest, and he will give up everything for his great cause, and the strife between the various realms will become more and more miserable, and the people of Bactria will be even more miserable. As a prince of the royal family, he can neither exercise benevolent government and live with the people, so that the grain can be abundant and the people can live and work in peace and contentment, nor can he do the selfish things that harm the public and private interests, causing the people to have a poor livelihood and everything to wither. Although all this was not caused by my own hands, after all, I am the cause of this matter, and if there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if the cause and effect do not end, the world will be restless. Therefore, entrust your inner son and children to your master, and you can make decisions on all matters. ”

Although the cricket has only one side with the second prince, and there are only two times this time, he can feel the sincerity of the second prince's words, and the same as his young master, only the great wisdom has the freedom and uninhibitedness. Now that the words have come to this, he no longer insists on it, and having a letter from His Royal Highness can be regarded as an explanation. However, the cricket still arranged for the fourth child to stay, and if possible, he would take the opportunity to rescue the second prince.

The royal family already knew what had happened and what had been arranged, and the two princesses' eyes were red and swollen, and their eyes were full of reluctance; two teenage girls on the side were holding their mother's legs and whimpering, thinking that they were the two daughters of His Royal Highness; a delicate male baby of about five or six years old was sleeping soundly in the arms of a sturdy woman, and there was no doubt that it should be His Royal Highness's sister-in-law.

After a short time, two modified carriages drove in through the side gate of the palace, which was a vehicle for supplying vegetables to the palace, and this business was taken by the crickets half a year ago, and they had been delivering vegetables to the palace for more than half a year.

When the housekeeper saw this, his eyes almost popped out, and he was speechless as he pointed at the cricket.

Seeing this, the second prince already understood the reason, so he had to shake his head and smile bitterly, and sure enough, it became a sieve.

The carriage has a built-in mezzanine, and there is no clue from the outside, and the comparison of the height of the inside and outside can only be seen after the hands and feet are made. The first carriage hid His Royal Highness's two concubines and eldest daughter, and the second carriage hid the sturdy woman and her second daughter and son.

Then the same four carriages drove out of the backyard of the palace, and the carriage containing the princess drove out of the palace with one of the later ones, left and right, and went their separate ways. After the tea, the two vacant carriages also left the house and headed north, and half an hour later, the carriage containing the prince also left the house and headed straight to the south of the city.

The six sons led people to pick up the people at the agreed meeting point, and the carriage drove in the agreed direction on all sides as planned.

In the evening, in an abandoned old house in Hejiazhuang, the cricket and the sixth son converged, and after counting the manpower, there were three fewer people except for the fourth.

The cricket frowned, and the bad thing is that it is not the people of the special service team who are few, and I am afraid that this trip will be unstable.

At this time, after the eldest prince learned the news, he was furious, the royal capital had been put under martial law in the whole city, and then the king's guards broke into the palace.
