Xia Yihai retreated outside the hut in the name of observing the enemy's situation, and Xia Changfeng quickly brought a basin of clear water and neatly helped Prince Muyuan clean the wounds on his legs.

He furrowed his brows, the movements of his hands were precise and careful, and Mu Yuan did not cry out in pain in the process, but his elegant pale face was already soaked with thin sweat.

It wasn't until Xia Changfeng took out a bottle of familiar gold sore medicine and sprinkled it on his wound that Mu Yuan smiled and said, "It's the medicine given by the county lord of Yongle again?" ”

Seeing the movements in Xia Changfeng's hand, he subconsciously stiffened, and replied without looking at his eyes, "...... Be. ”

Although he was guilty at the beginning, and felt that he had no shame to face the Xia family in Kyoto again, he did not have a bad relationship with Xia Qianwei, and it was normal for him to carry the medicine given by his third sister.

But Mu Yuan and Xia Changfeng have been friends for many years, and Mu Yuan is very familiar with every expression and movement of him, but he didn't expect that the two would reunite for only an hour, and he lied to himself twice.

Mu Yuan had a little more suspicion in his heart, knowing that the upright and frank man in front of him rarely hid anything from him, so he continued to probe unrelentingly, "It's so late, how could Chang Feng wander alone in the forest?" ”

What he wanted to ask was, why did Xia Changfeng know that he and Xia Yihai were hiding there?

Xia Changfeng smiled awkwardly, "Although there are fierce beasts at night, there are also some weak mountain beasts, Changfeng often chooses this time to go out hunting and pick up some game." ”

Following his gaze, there were indeed a few pieces of dried hare meat hanging by the window.

Looking at Xia Changfeng's dress similar to Orion's by candlelight, as well as that much rougher face, Mu Yuan couldn't help but smile, "Since the mission has been completed, why don't you return to Beijing and stay in this kind of place......

Some time ago, Xia Changfeng has been in the army to help the prince investigate confidential matters, constantly sending letters back to Beijing, and in the name of the prince to win over trusted generals, and not long ago Mu Yuan suddenly summoned him back to Beijing, but Xia Changfeng did not respond.

A ghostly light flashed across Mu Yuan's eyes, and he looked at him with his back to him at this moment, and his rough hand shook and clenched, "Your Highness...... Chang Feng found a tunnel. ”

Tunnel?

Mu Yuan frowned, and soon realized that what he was going to say next was extraordinary.

Xia Changfeng turned around, "Actually, His Royal Highness pretended to promise that the Jin army would release the Wei family's father and son, but it was just a delaying tactic, right?" ”

It will take a month to set off from Beijing to the border, but the army of the Jin army is really blocked under the border city!

This is a lot of grain and grass, and the time that Mu Yuan delayed is enough to consume a lot of materials from the other party, which will inevitably affect the strength of the Jin army!

Mu Yuan thought that King Jin was too arrogant to imagine this, but who knows, during this period of time, the army of Jin State seems to be unaffected, and has been shouting and insulting under the city every day, and pretending to attack the city from time to time, which frightens the people in the border city to tremble and can't sleep at night.

And the only way to evacuate the people was blocked by the Jin army, and no one could imagine how torturous this feeling of living like a year was, like purgatory.

"Chang Feng is hiding here, because he found suspicious traces not long ago, they always appear quietly in the forest, and disappear inexplicably, only messy footprints are left on the ground, plus Jin Jun's good wine and meat have never been broken, so ......"

"So you're guessing that this tunnel is in this forest!"

Mu Yuan couldn't help but sit up straight, completely ignoring the injury on his leg.

Although Xia Changfeng had not been able to confirm the existence of this tunnel, Mu Yuan's heart was already filled with deep unease.

Indeed, he originally believed that King Jin had fallen for his own plan to delay the army, but now he has agreed with Xia Changfeng's speculation, and the materials that the other party delivered to Jin Guo are likely to be the food of Chen Kingdom!

The letter of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country that was previously searched from the Marquis of Changxing may point to someone else! There are really spies in the Chen Kingdom, and this person is rich enough to rival the country, and he has been planning for a long time!

This dense forest is so big that it is difficult to find the location of the tunnel, and what makes Mu Yuan even more worried is, where does this tunnel lead?

How long has the other party been preparing? Years? More than ten years?

Is it possible that this tunnel will go straight to the hinterland and catch them off guard?!

"Why didn't you write to me earlier?!" His voice was already a little anxious, and Xia Changfeng was ashamed, "Chang Feng also observed for a long time before he had such an idea, how dare he tell His Highness easily?" When he was sure, Chang Feng heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was going to lead his troops to the border to defend against the enemy......"

Under such circumstances, it was difficult for him to ensure that his letter could be safely delivered to Mu Yuan's hands, and once he was startled, the consequences would be unimaginable!

"Chang Feng originally wanted to find out the tunnels and then find an opportunity to destroy them, but after thinking about it, I don't know how many such tunnels there are in the Chen Kingdom, this move is definitely not a good strategy, only by finding out the people behind the scenes, can there be no worries."

Xia Changfeng analyzed carefully, and after a long time, Mu Yuan took a deep breath and gradually calmed down, and his eyes softened a lot when he looked at the man in front of him, "Changfeng, you are really much more stable." ”

"......" Xia Changfeng's back is a little stiff, where is his steady? Actually, it was another person who told him......

At this time, his eyes suddenly changed, "Someone has entered the dense forest!" ”

……

The other end.

Xia Yihai's mind kept coming up with Mu Yuan's promise, and the night breeze made his emotions more and more sober.

No, how can he choose his daughter's path?

Even if the crown prince is indeed a beloved, and the queen's position is extremely noble, and Qianwei doesn't like it, he can't embarrass her.

The prince once saved Chang Feng, and now he has saved him, these two kindnesses should also be repaid by their father and son......

At this moment, a dangerous ghost light flashed behind him, Xia Yihai's face immediately changed, and he pulled out the long sword at his waist with a hum, "What person?!" ”

The shadows of the trees rustled, and he looked vigilantly at the slightly moving bushes, but he waited for a long time but there was no movement.

You can't be wrong, Fang Cai is indeed murderous!

He cautiously leaned over and cut off the thorns in front of him, but all he saw was a pool of dark red blood on the ground.

"Father?" Xia Changfeng's nervous voice sounded behind him, and he came to the confused middle-aged man, Xia Yihai pointed to the blood on the ground, "There are suspicious people here." ”

How could it just be gone in the blink of an eye?

"......" He didn't notice that Xia Changfeng's eyes moved slightly, and subconsciously looked somewhere, and then showed a stiff smile, "Maybe it's the beasts of the night that come out to hunt, and Changfeng often encounters similar situations." ”

Beast?

Seeing that Xia Yihai didn't seem to believe it, Xia Changfeng hurriedly pulled him back, "It is really dangerous for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to stay alone in the house, father, let's go back." ”

The two of them didn't see it, and there was a long figure leaning on the treetops behind them, and the beautiful thin lips hooked up the arc of a light smile, and the long sword in his hand still had blood stains that had not yet dried up......
