Chapter 417 Wangwu faction, former deputy general of the Ming Dynasty
At the same time, Shanhaiguan, Pingxi Wangfu.
When Wu Sangui heard the report from his subordinates, he immediately said angrily: "Haven't you found the whereabouts of the princess yet?" ”
One of the subordinates fell to one knee on the ground, cold sweat streaming down his face.
"Back to the prince, we have searched the Sansheng Nunnery for a hundred miles, but we have not found the princess."
Wu Sangui's face was hideous, he smashed the handle on the seat, and said coldly: "When did she leave?" ”
"According to the master in the Sansheng Nunnery, the princess was still there two days ago, but for some reason, they all slept from that night until the next night, and when they went to look for the princess, they found that the princess was gone."
He was the lieutenant general in charge of guarding Chen Yuanyuan, and when he learned about this, he knew that the big thing was not good, so he sent someone to inform Wu Sangui while searching everywhere.
Then he searched for a day and a night, but he still found no trace of Chen Yuanyuan, so he could only come back in panic and ask for guilt.
Wu Sangui's face suddenly became very ugly.
The reason why he is so nervous is not that he likes Chen Yuanyuan much, Wu Sangui just regards Chen Yuanyuan as his own unique thing and will never allow others to touch it.
In fact, ten years ago, Wu Sangui was still very fond of Chen Yuanyuan, but unfortunately, since he knew that Chen Yuanyuan and Li Zicheng had an affair, his attitude changed, and he never touched the other party for ten years.
The reason why he wanted to find Chen Yuanyuan was because he didn't want the other party to fall into the hands of other men, otherwise it would undoubtedly be a great shame for him, and his so-called "rushing to the crown and being angry and becoming a red face" back then would also become the object of ridicule from all over the world.
"No matter what method you use, if you can't find the princess within seven days, you will all come to see you."
"Roll !!"
Wu Sangui kicked the lieutenant general and fell out, and the lieutenant general endured the severe pain, and hurriedly retreated.
And looking at the retreating lieutenant general, Wu Sangui did not hide the killing intent in his eyes at all, a group of people couldn't even look at a woman who was powerless, she really deserved to be killed!
At this time, Wu Sangui's henchman, a bald old man from the Golden Dome Gate, stepped forward and said: "Lord, in the opinion of the old minister, the nuns in the Sansheng Nunnery should have been pointed to by someone, and the princess does not know martial arts, obviously there are people in the rivers and lakes to help!" ”
Wu Sangui took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "You might see who did it?" ”
The old man shook his head and said, "Now those nuns have already woken up and can't find out. ”
"But ......"
As if thinking of something, the old man hesitated.
"But what?"
Wu Sangui looked back at him with a bit of inquiry in his eyes.
The old man bowed his head slightly and said, "It can be concluded that the princess disappeared on the night two days ago, and that day was also the time when the marriage envoy left. ”
When Wu Sangui heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed: "But the marriage envoy left in the morning, and the princess was still in the Sansheng Nunnery until the evening." ”
"The team of the marriage envoy is accompanied by hundreds of cavalry camp guards, and it is destined to go fast, if someone rides a fast horse and turns back, going back and forth for four or five hours, how can it be enough!"
The old man said solemnly.
Wu Sangui immediately fell silent.
After a long time, he asked, "How do you think this matter should be verified?" ”
The old man said: "It's not difficult to say, it's not easy to say it's simple, if the prince sends someone to catch up with the marriage team and search for the whereabouts of the princess, then whether the princess is not there or not, the situation is very unfavorable for the princess...... I'm afraid things will be even more difficult! ”
Wu Sangui is not stupid, he naturally understands that if Chen Yuanyuan is really in the marriage team, then someone deliberately wants to take Chen Yuanyuan away from Shanhaiguan.
Who could this person be?
Wei Xiaobao?
Naturally, it is impossible, just because he is a stinky boy, he does not dare to openly oppose himself, let alone boldly rob the princess.
Instead of Wei Xiaobao, or rather, the one who gave Wei Xiaobao the courage was only Yanjing.
If he didn't have to care about Kangxi's attitude before the marriage team came to Shanhaiguan, but at this moment he had turned his face with Prince Bao, if he wanted to continue to keep the throne in the Qing court, he could only rely on Kangxi, otherwise if both sides were offended, then he would have no way out, and he could only take his men to take refuge in Mongolia.
And he is desperate, I am afraid that he can only become a pawn of the Mongols, and there will be no day to turn over.
Therefore, he must not startle the snake, not to mention whether Chen Yuanyuan was taken away by Wei Xiaobao and others, even if it is, he does not dare to act rashly.
As soon as he thought of this, Wu Sangui's forehead had green tendons bulging, and his fists were clenched and creaked.
Thinking about his Wu Sangui Rongma's life, even when the Qing army entered the customs back then, he had never fallen into such a dilemma, but he didn't want to get to this day, but he fell to such a point.
Just as Wu Sangui was pondering countermeasures, the old man of the Golden Dome Gate suddenly said, "Lord Wang, have you forgotten the Wangwu faction? ”
When Wu Sangui heard this, he seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly showed surprise.
This Wangwu faction was created by Situ Bolei, and Situ Bolei was originally a deputy general of the former Ming Dynasty, subordinate to Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and later because Wu Sangui was very dissatisfied with Wu Sangui's release of the Qing army into the customs, he led a group of people with the same idea to Wangwu Mountain to establish the Wangwu faction.
However, in the past few years, Wu Sangui got in touch with him, and re-recruited him on the grounds of recovering the Ming Dynasty in the future, and now the Wangwu faction is also a major force under him.
"Coming from Wangwu Mountain, I'm afraid I don't have enough time, right?"
Wu Sangui frowned a little tightly.
The old man smiled and said: "Don't worry, the prince can rest assured, that Situ Bolei has recently led his subordinates to rob the rich and help the poor in the Chifeng area, as long as you issue an edict, they can come to Shanhaiguan within three days." ”
"Good! Immediately let Stubery rob the marriage team, but remember, let him not hurt the princess, the county lord and others, if you don't find the princess, retreat immediately, if you find the princess, then be sure to bring the princess back to the king! ”
Anyway, this matter will also be regarded by Wei Xiaobao and others as a mountain bandit blocking the road and robbing money, and no one will think of him Wu Sangui's head.
As for what happened after that, he casually made an excuse, saying that he saved his princess from the hands of the mountain bandits, who would dare to say a word?
However, if Chen Yuanyuan is not in the marriage team, then the matter is really complicated.
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something again, Wu Sangui's face changed, and he said to the old man beside him: "There is one more!" Let's go, go to the summer mansion with this king! ”
The old man also thought of something, bowed slightly, and left the palace with Wu Sangui, and rushed to the Xia Mansion where Fukangan and the others were imprisoned.
