Chapter 541: The War Begins
Shen Xihe and the others came to Shen Yun'an's house, without any clues, and Shen Yunan seemed to disappear out of thin air.
"Shizi didn't wake up?" Xiao Changfeng always felt that something was wrong, so he asked the person guarding the door.
The subordinate replied respectfully: "The villain is outside the house, waiting for the prince to wake up and give instructions at any time, and no one has heard a trace of movement, and no one has pushed the door open before General Mo Yuan came." ”
"Search, search every inch of the mansion." Shen Xihe ordered with a cold face.
Xiao Changfeng thought about it, then stepped forward and bowed to Shen Xihe and said: "Your Royal Highness the Crown Princess, now there are many things in the palace, and Xiao Wang can't help with the rest of the things. ”
"There is His Royal Highness King Laoxun." Shen Xihe readily agreed.
With Shen Xihe's approval, Xiao Changfeng searched with the people of the palace, and even Shen Xihe's courtyard was not spared, but such a big living person was stunned and could not be found, and there was no trace of it.
After they searched it, Geng Liangcheng and the others seemed to hear the news.
"How could the prince disappear for no reason?"
"I don't know why my brother disappeared." Shen Xihe was a little worried and anxious.
"The prince had been safe and sound, but why did he suddenly disappear?" Meng Hu couldn't hide his emotions the most, and his unkind gaze swept towards Xiao Changfeng and Pei Zhan.
The suspicion is obvious.
"General Meng, what does this mean?" Pei Zhan asked.
"What can the last general mean?" Meng Hu sneered, "At this juncture, the son of the world is missing, who is the most advantageous, and naturally who is the most suspicious." ”
"The son is missing, who can profit?" Xiao Changfeng asked rhetorically.
"Whoever doesn't want the prince to inherit the title of our prince will naturally be the one who benefits." Meng Hu almost said Emperor Youning by name, and Emperor Youning traveled thousands of miles to naturally do it personally, so it could only be Pei Zhan and Xiao Changfeng sent by Emperor Youning here.
Especially as soon as Pei Zhan came, Shen Yunan disappeared, and no one could help but think about it.
"General Meng really looks down on the old man." Pei Zhan couldn't help but sarcastically say, "Pei Mou went to the northwest for the first time in this life, and it was the first time he went to the Northwest Palace, so he was able to change into a living person in front of everyone's eyes, and the son of the world would not be seen." With such ability, my Pei family would not have been defeated in Annan City to the point of almost annihilating the entire clan. ”
"The prince is eight feet tall, even if he is unconscious, he can't be easily taken away." Xiao Changfeng naturally helped Pei Zhan, "The palace is full of people, but no one sees it, unless it ......"
"Unless what?" Geng Liangcheng asked.
Xiao Changfeng glanced at Shen Xihe: "Unless the prince wakes up, hides from everyone, and leaves on his own." Otherwise, they know the terrain of the palace and can easily avoid the actions of the patrols. ”
It shouldn't be that they can do it.
"Joke, the prince has not yet come out of the first seven, how could the prince wake up and leave quietly?" Meng Hu smiled angrily, "Does His Royal Highness King Xun mean that if the prince leaves by himself, we will be taken away by these people who know everything about the palace?" ”
"Xiao Wang is just speculating, not saying that the general and others are harboring evil intentions." Xiao Changfeng is quite eloquent, "But General Meng only had a word to remind Xiao Wang." ”
Meng Hu stared at Xiao Changfeng fiercely.
Xiao Changfeng's gaze swept over Meng Hu and the others: "The king of the northwest has died, and the prince should have been the heir, but now the son is nowhere to be found." If the news spreads, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people, and the northwest will inevitably fall into chaos. At this time, Xiao Wang and Pei Shangshu have His Majesty's holy decree, and I am afraid that they will not be able to convince the people of the northwest, and someone must stand up and preside over the overall situation......"
Xiao Changfeng paused meaningfully when he said this: "It is still unknown who will profit. ”
"You...... You thief shout to catch the thief......"
"Who did General Meng say was the thief?" Xiao Changfeng lowered his face.
Shen Xihe suddenly flicked his sleeves and strode away, Geng Liangcheng and the others shouted for the crown princess to catch up, Meng Hu also clenched his fists and threatened: "It's better not for you to do it, otherwise I will give up this life, and you can't leave the northwest!" ”
After the cruel words, Meng Hu also chased after him.
"On the grounds of Daddy's funeral, the city gate was blocked, and no one was allowed to leave the city for three days." Shen Xihe came to the main hall and instructed Mo Yao, "Post a notice, Brother is in a trance because of Daddy's matter, and he left the mansion, I am worried, if anyone sees Brother, please inform the palace." ”
When Xiao Changfeng and Pei Zhan came over, they heard Shen Xihe's words.
After Shen Xihe finished speaking, he turned his head to the two of them: "No one in the city knows my brother, if he leaves the palace by himself, unless he can fly the eaves and walk the wall, it is impossible not to meet a person." ”
If no one came to the palace to inform, it meant that Shen Yunan did not leave the palace on his own, but was trapped by someone and did not see the light of day.
"Are you satisfied?" Xiao Huayong asked with a calm face.
seemed to ask Xiao Changfeng, Pei Zhan and Meng Hu, but in fact, they were all dissatisfied with Xiao Changfeng and Pei Zhan.
People had to bow their heads under the eaves, not to mention His Royal Highness the Prince, Xiao Changfeng hugged his hands and bowed: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, and it is suitable for Changfeng to be unobstructed, which offended several generals." ”
Shen Xihe glanced at Xiao Changfeng, this son is worthy of being carefully cultivated by His Majesty, he is not only both civil and military, brave and strategic, but also advances and retreats appropriately, and what is even more rare is that he can bend and stretch.
"Your Highness, my brother disappeared suddenly, everyone is puzzled, it is inevitable that there will be some suspicions, and what he said is unintentional." Shen Xihe persuaded Xiao Huayong.
"Let's find the son first." Xiao Huayong also took the opportunity to expose this matter.
Will they be able to find Shen Yunan?
Naturally it can't, Shen Yunan has long been sent to a secret place by Xiao Huayong, because there is also a secret passage in the Northwest Palace, and the secret passage is that Shen Xihe told Xiao Huayong that the person who sent Shen Yunan back to the room had already been arranged by Shen Xihe, and it was not the real Shen Yunan who entered the room, but Mo Yao, Mo Yao's skills, and his understanding of the palace, if you want to leave the room and come out in a grand manner, it is easy to hide from the world.
Shen Yunan's disappearance made the people of the Northwest Palace panic and have their own thoughts.
In the evening, another bad news came, and an urgent report came from Tingzhou that the Turks had attacked the Beiting Protectorate.
This news made everyone's faces solemn, Shen Yueshan was not there, Shen Yunan was missing, there was no commander in the northwest, who would command and order?
Everyone looked at Xiao Huayong, here is the most noble status of the crown prince, and the crown prince is Shen Xihe's husband, although he is a member of the royal family, but there are good words said by Shen Yueshan in the past, and there is a method of falconry in front, except for Geng Liangcheng, others at least recognize Xiao Huayong.
"Lone knows very little about the northwest, and now that the war is imminent, a few generals might as well discuss it first, and Lone listens." Xiao Huayong did not directly seize power, but humbly gave up the right to decide, giving enough respect to several generals in the northwest.
? Good night and see you tomorrow
