Hearing this, Shen Huo was a little silent. He thought about the clues he had found in the assassin's body, and he felt as if he had a pimple in his heart, which made people feel uneasy.

The embroidered words found on the assassin's inner lining before, Shen Huo had ordered someone to cut it out, and it was on the table in front of the two of them at this moment. Seeing Shen Huo's eyes drifting towards the word "Wu", He Suoyi didn't know what he thought, and he fell silent.

He Suoyi was silent for a while, and then he asked Shen Huo thoughtfully, "His Royal Highness the Prince." This...... Was it really His Royal Highness King Wu who did it? The concubine was a little unconvinced. ”

"I don't want to believe it." Shen Huo shook his head, "But looking at the scene in front of you, it must be eight or nine years old." The embroidery of the characters on the inner lining is extremely exquisite, and it is no different from that done by the embroiderers in the palace. Even if this palace is unwilling, it has to be believed. ”

What Shen Huo said was reasonable, and He Suoyi thought carefully in his heart after listening to it, and then he thought it was true. He Suoyi's face immediately showed a little anger, and said: "Now is the time when the country is in danger, and King Wu is still like this, it is really annoying." ”

After saying that, He Suoyi turned his head to look at Shen Huo again and asked, "Your Highness, since you know who is the mastermind behind the scenes, how should we act?" ”

"At present, it can only be said that King Wu is the most suspicious candidate, and as for whether it is the person he appointed, it is still inconclusive." Shen Huo shook his head, "Let's go back to Beijing with this evidence first." After returning to Beijing, he reported to his father, and then searched carefully to find evidence on the side. ”

It's not the best, but it's the only thing that can be done right now. He Suoyi also nodded when he heard this, agreeing with Shen Huo's idea.

Because it was already late at night, Shen Huo was a little frightened again, and at this time, all the alcohol that had just faded rose up, making him feel very sleepy, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

Looking at Shen Huo like this, He Suoyi knew in his heart that he was already extremely tired, so he didn't bother Shen Huo anymore, but only called a maid to come and serve the two of them to wash, and immediately fell asleep.

A good night's sleep. After the two of them sobered up the next day, they thought that after this incident, there was still any danger in going to Baobuqi, so they did not dare to delay at the border any longer, and immediately ordered the soldiers to go down, and told the soldiers to start packing up and preparing to return to Beijing.

Everyone in the army moved very fast, and by the afternoon, a full 200,000 troops had packed their bags, and Shen Huo ordered them to follow him on the road and go to the capital. He also ordered the post to pass the news that the army was going back to the palace today, and then hurriedly went on the road.

Arriving at the border from the capital, it is a long way from the mountains and rivers. Returning from the border to the direction of the capital, although the mountains and rivers were still dangerous, the mood of all the soldiers was extremely excited.

There is no other reason. The battles in the past few days have already made the soldiers tired and tight, and they think about their wives and children who are far away in the capital. Now that I can finally return to Beijing, I am full of joy and I don't need to mention it.

Thinking of this, all the soldiers were full of energy, and their pace quickened a little, and finally a few days later, they arrived at a place thirty miles away from the capital. Shen Huo ordered someone to send the news of the imminent arrival of the army back to the palace, and turned around and asked the soldiers, "Do you want to stop and rest for a while?" ”

Seeing that they were about to arrive in the capital, all the soldiers did not want to rest, so they shook their heads one after another, signaling that they were not tired and could continue to walk. Shen Huo did not insist, so he ordered the army to continue to move forward.

It's only thirty miles, and the work will be over in a while. At this time, he could already see the gate of the capital city from a distance, Shen Huo was overjoyed in his heart, and he hurriedly sped up his pace with the others, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the capital.

When I got closer, I saw that a group of people had already gathered under the city gate, and it was the emperor who rushed to hear the news, leading the ministers to greet Shen Huo.

The emperor naturally saw Shen Huo coming, and his face was a little happy. When Shen Huo walked in front of him, the emperor took a few steps forward slightly and said with a smile: "The emperor has worked hard all the way. ”

"It's not hard." Shen Huo shook his head with a smile, turned over and dismounted: "If you can share the worries and solve problems for your father and emperor, and you can return the people to a prosperous and healthy life, your sons will be satisfied." ”

"A good one to share worries and solve problems, and a good prosperous world to be healthy!" The emperor happily stroked his palms and laughed, and said: "The emperor must be tired today, so let's go back and rest first." Tomorrow I will hold another celebration banquet. ”

The journey was tiring, and Shen Huo was really tired, so he didn't twist when he heard the words, he only nodded slightly, and his eyes inadvertently bumped into Gu Zhiheng's.

Since Gu Zhiheng saw Shen Huo, his eyes have been staring at Shen Huo and he has never left for a moment. Gu Zhiheng's eyes were extremely strange, and he couldn't tell whether he was more afraid or more panicked.

After Gu Zhiheng's gaze suddenly collided with Shen Huo, his heart was suddenly shocked, and the panicked look on his face couldn't be hidden, and he took a few steps back, already out of shape.

Shen Huo was about to forget about this thing, seeing Gu Zhiheng's reaction like this, his heart moved, but he still smiled quietly on his face, and stepped forward to help Gu Zhiheng: "Second brother, but he just tripped over a small stone on the road?" But be careful, you have to look at the road when you walk. ”

Gu Zhiheng didn't seem to hear the deep meaning of Shen Huo's words, and only followed Shen Huo's words absentmindedly: "Thank you, big brother, I wrote it down." ”

He replied on his lips, but in his heart he was silently thinking. Originally, according to Gu Zhiheng and He Nuanliang's plan, Shen Huo should have died at the border at this moment, how could he return safely?

Gu Zhiheng thought endlessly, but he couldn't find a reasonable explanation, and then looked at Shen Huo's calm and relaxed appearance, he felt more and more flustered in his heart, and he could barely maintain the expression on his face.

Shen Huo didn't seem to see Gu Zhiheng's strange appearance, he only withdrew his eyes, looked at the emperor, and said with a smile: "Father." Erchen is really tired, let's go back to the palace today. ”

After that, Shen Huo took a few steps forward, and walked in the direction of the palace first, without even looking at Gu Zhiheng.

Looking at Shen Huo's reaction, Gu Zhiheng was a little stunned at first, and then he had no choice but to silently follow the group and return to the palace, only secretly worried in his heart.

After arriving in the palace, Shen Huo excused himself to be tired, and returned to the East Palace with He Suoyi. As soon as the two entered the East Palace, they immediately entered Shen Huo's study and discussed secretly.

Thinking about Gu Zhiheng's reaction, the more Shen Huo thought about it, the more strange he felt, and he couldn't help but feel suspicious in his heart. He told He Suoyi all the doubts in his heart, and after He Suoyi listened, he first pondered for a moment, and then considered: "In this way, if it is really a melon field and plum, it is inevitable that people will not be suspicious." ”

He Suoyi paused slightly, looked at Shen Huo again, and asked, "Your Highness." In that case, why don't we go to the imperial study tomorrow to find our father and tell him about it. ”

Listening to what He Suoyi said, Shen Huo first thought carefully for a while, and then shook his head: "Don't talk about this matter with your father first." At present, Xu Qinghe is still locked up in the stargazing platform, and if he is not removed as soon as possible, he is afraid that it will cause disaster. ”

"No matter how excessive the second brother is, he will not do anything unfavorable to Da Zhou after all. And Xu Qinghe does not get rid of it for a day, and the palace is not at ease for a day. Shen Huo's expression was extremely firm, and he said to He Suoyi.

Hearing this, He Suoyi thought about it carefully and thought it was true. She nodded, "That's true." Then tomorrow, I will go to the stargazing platform to see Xu Qinghe, and see what information can be extracted from his mouth. If it can't be done, you can also persuade your father to be executed directly. ”

Shen Huo also nodded, indicating that he naturally knew So the two of them repaired and prepared for meeting Xu Qinghe tomorrow.

Time passed little by little, and finally another day passed. Early the next morning, Shen Huo got up, and after reporting to the emperor, he went straight to the place where the stargazing platform was.

After walking to the stargazing platform, the guards saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming, and they hurriedly saluted. Shen Huo waved his hand: "Let's all be flat." The main palace went to the stargazing platform today to have a look, you don't have to come along. ”

Shen Huo's order, the soldiers did not dare to resist, and immediately faded like a tide, making way for Shen Huo. Shen Huo raised his feet and entered the stargazing platform and saw Xu Qinghe.

There had been no one in the stargazing platform for a long time, and as soon as the door was pushed open, Xu Qinghe only felt that the sun outside was dazzling, and he could hardly look directly.

Xu Qinghe squinted his eyes a few times before he got used to the light outside, and then realized that it was Shen Huo who came. How did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come back so soon? Could it be that this is a great victory at this moment. Xu Qinghe thought endlessly in his heart, and couldn't help but start looking at Shen Huo.

At the same time, Shen Huo was also silently looking at Xu Qinghe. The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and now when they look at each other, they feel a little like they are separated from each other.

I saw that Xu Qinghe's face was a lot paler because he had not seen the light of day in the past few days, and his thoughts were too heavy, and he had lost a lot of money, and the whole person was a little sick.

On the other hand, Shen Huo, the grinding on the battlefield made his face a little rough, but it only added a little bit of iron bones, and did not reduce his heroic spirit at all. An originally fair face was tanned to a wheat color, and the whole person looked majestic.

Xu Qinghe looked at Shen Huo and was silent for a long time, and then said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I haven't seen you for a long time, but don't come unharmed?" ”

"Don't come unharmed." Shen Huo laughed heartily, "This time the palace went to fight against Qi Chu, it was really happy. If it weren't for Qi Chu's rout too quickly, this palace would still want to fight a few more battles, which would be really enjoyable. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Huo saw that Xu Qinghe's face was unhappy, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "It's the negligence of the palace, and I forgot the feelings of the national teacher." The national teacher is a native of Chu State, and it is natural that he is not very happy to hear this news. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Huo raised one eyebrow and said, "But this battle is really thanks to the national teacher." If it weren't for the accurate intelligence of the national teacher, how could this palace annihilate the 100,000 allied troops of Qi and Chu in one fell swoop? Presumably, the national teacher betrayed Da Zhou at that time, and he didn't think that this move was just making wedding clothes for others. ”
