Chapter 490: The Third Prince is in Distress
Taishou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Xiaguan understands this time." ”
Taishou personally sent the prince to the mansion prepared for him, although it was not as good as the mansion of the officials in the capital, but it was a rare and good courtyard in Youzhou. The three-in, three-out yard is quite spacious.
"Youzhou is not as good as the capital, and the officials can only find such a courtyard for the prince with their best efforts. The prince will stay. If you need anything, just tell your subordinates. ”
"This king doesn't pick." Chu Huaijin said coldly. He came to investigate Chu Huaicheng thoroughly, not to enjoy happiness.
Taishou continued to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, this third master is not easy to fool. It's enough for the second prince to drink a pot.
Chu Huaijin came out after bathing and changing clothes in the main room, and Taishou was still waiting outside.
"The lower official is ready for the reception banquet, and the prince will go to the banquet with the lower official."
Chu Huaijin didn't refuse, and took his two secret guards, Gao Shan and Liushui.
At the reception banquet, the officials above the fifth grade in Youzhou were all present, and as soon as these officials saw Chu Huaijin, they all stood up and saluted.
The reception banquet was full of compliments to the three princes, and Chu Huaijin replied with no match.
He was a little annoyed by this kind of scene, and left the reception banquet early, leaving behind a group of officials who looked at each other.
Chu Huaijin instructed Gao Shan to take the secret guard to closely monitor Chu Huaicheng's every move, and this Taishou also sent someone to keep an eye on it, he felt that there was something wrong with this Taishou.
The courtyard where Chu Huaijin lived was not quiet at night, and there were several waves of assassins in succession.
Fortunately, he had taken precautions and arranged secret guards in the yard for protection. Thanks to the cotton gold silk soft hedgehog armor for self-defense, the poisoned arrow shot by the killer did not hit his body.
It can be said that Mianmian indirectly saved his life.
Chu Huaijin knew in his heart that this was Chu Huaicheng looking for someone to assassinate him.
The next day, Taishou came to Chu Huaijin's courtyard early, and he didn't dare to snub this master at all.
"This king was assassinated last night and almost lost his life. Who does Taishou think wants the king's life? Chu Huaijin said coldly.
Taishou was frightened by these words, if something happened to this lord in the realm under his jurisdiction, then his head would not be saved.
"It's all the dereliction of duty on the part of the lower officials, and the lower officials will send someone to investigate the matter. will definitely give the prince an explanation. The lower officials will send more men to defend it. ”
"Taishou doesn't have to investigate, this king already knows that Chu Huaicheng wants to kill this king. Why don't you show the way for this king, and this king will go and see how this exiled criminal minister is doing? Chu Huaijin said coldly.
Taishou wiped the cold sweat on his forehead desperately and didn't dare to refuse, so he could only take this master to see the second prince.
The place where Chu Huaicheng lives is also a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, and there are a lot of small maids and maids in the yard.
Chu Huaijin's face sank when he saw this scene. "Taishou is indeed derelict in his duties, how can he make the guilty minister live so well. The guilty should be treated like a guilty minister, living in a broken house and doing heavy work. Could it be that Taishou was bought by Chu Huaicheng? ”
Taishou was frightened and immediately knelt on the ground, "The lower officials are only loyal to the court, and they are loyal to the emperor." The reason why Xia Guan treats the second prince with great courtesy is also because of his status as a prince. ”
"It's too far-fetched to keep it. This king said that there is no second prince, only the guilty minister Chu Huaicheng. It's too bad to keep this memory. According to the king, the official should be the end of the guard. Chu Huaijin said coldly.
Taishou knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, "The lower official knows that he is wrong, there is no second prince." Only the guilty minister Chu Huaicheng, the lower official took back the house. Let Chu Huaicheng do the tiring work. ”
At this time, Chu Huaicheng came out, followed by his henchmen.
Chu Huaicheng also ignored Taishou who was kneeling on the ground, and his eyes fell on Chu Huaijin's face.
The eyebrows and eyes of the two are somewhat similar, and they are both rare characters.
The two of them glanced at each other, and suddenly sparks flew everywhere, and they almost hit together.
"Why did the third prince deign to come to this barren place in Youzhou?" Chu Huaicheng opened his mouth slightly mockingly.
"This king has come and seen how you, a sinner, are doing in this barren land. Now it seems that it is quite moisturizing. This king has come to make it bad for you, a sinner. Chu Huaijin also opened his mouth politely.
Chu Huaicheng's face remained unchanged, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Then we also have to see if the third prince has this ability. In Youzhou, the king is the lord, and since the third prince has come to Youzhou, don't leave. For the sake of our brothers, even the coffin has been prepared for the third prince. ”
After he finished saying this, he clapped his hands, and a group of archers appeared in all directions of the courtyard and aimed in the direction of Chu Huaijin.
"Today is the death of the third prince, and this king will send you to Huangquan Road." Chu Huaicheng's cold voice sounded.
Chu Huaijin didn't expect Chu Huaicheng to move so quickly, and he didn't even hide his intention to kill him.
Fortunately, he was on guard and kept a hand.
"Haven't Chu Huaicheng heard the phrase praying mantis catching cicadas, and yellow finches are behind?" Chu Huaijin had no intention of fear. On the contrary, I am confident.
This made Chu Huaicheng a little unconfident, originally he was in control of the victory, and he was able to kill Chu Huaijin in Youzhou.
At this time, I felt that Chu Huaijin still had a back hand.
Chu Huaicheng made a gesture and fell, and the archers around him shot towards Chu Huaijin one after another.
Before the bow and arrow got close, hundreds of secret guards appeared in front of Chu Huaijin.
The guards all had shields in their hands and blocked their bows and arrows. These guards are all top masters. It's also a good thing. Some stayed behind to protect the three princes, and some flew towards the archers on the heights.
The two sides were fighting in one place, and it was obvious that Chu Huaijin's secret guard was even more powerful. Within a single cup of tea, Chu Huaicheng's people were all dealt with by the secret guards.
Chu Huaicheng didn't expect Chu Huaijin's people to be so powerful, and the people under him were all carefully selected. Such a waste.
He saw with his own eyes that all his people had been killed, and he alone could not fight against Chu Huaijin, not to mention that there were so many secret guards under him.
Chu Huaicheng saw that things were not good, so he asked Taishou to block the front, and he looked for an opportunity to escape. There was a secret passage in the courtyard, and he escaped from the courtyard to the outside of the courtyard.
Chu Huaijin saw that his secret guards had dealt with all of Chu Huaicheng's people.
He ordered his subordinates to deal with Chu Huaicheng, and after looking for a long time, he didn't see any trace of Chu Huaicheng, only Taishou was scared and his legs were weak and he sat on the ground.
Chu Huaicheng held the sword and asked coldly at Taishou's neck, "What about Chu Huaicheng and the others?" ”
"I don't know." Taishou trembled and turned back.
Chu Huaijin kicked the waste in front of him to the ground and ordered someone to search for Chu Huaicheng.
Chu Huaicheng did not pretend, and dared to send archers to ask for his life, which shows his ambition. enough to condemn him to death.
As long as he finds Chu Huaicheng's person, he can directly bring him back to the capital and play the emperor's fate.
It's just that he knows that Chu Huaicheng's people are not so easy to catch, and he still has his own forces in Youzhou.
Chu Huaijin didn't guess wrong, Chu Huaicheng escaped and went directly to an underground secret base.
