Si Si said embarrassedly: "I don't know much, I just know that the master rescued you by the Yaoshan River, and then ......."

Si Si thought of the piece of Tianbao jade, and thought of the fact that he had secretly touched Shen Ye's muscles at that time, and his face suddenly turned red.

"And then what's wrong?" Shen Ye asked.

"Oops, shame on you, and then I touched you." Si Si covered his face with his hands, and his whole neck turned red.

"Uh, that's it?" Shen Ye was stunned.

"What else?! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks of me as someone! Si Si said in shame.

Shen Ye knew that Si Si had misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly said, "I mean, when Uncle Shen Song saw me, was there someone else next to me?" ”

"Others?"

Si Si thought about the scene at that time, and hesitated: "Brother Song Chuan seems to have seen your Highness as well." ”

"Song Chuan?"

"He is the guard of my Shen family."

Shen Ye frowned and said, "I mean, in the place where I was unconscious, did Uncle Shen Song see that there were other people around me?" This other person is not talking about your people. ”

Si Si said: "I didn't hear the master mention this. ”

Seeing Shen Ye frowning, Si Si asked, "Was there anyone else around His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at that time?" ”

Shen Ye's expression was gloomy: "I just hope that someone will escape with me, it's that I think too much." ”

Si Si looked at Shen Ye's lost appearance and changed the topic empathetically: "Childe, should I call you His Highness Yun in the future?" ”

Shen Ye smiled and shook his head, and said, "You can call it whatever you want, the name Shen Ye, I'm quite used to hearing it now." ”

Looking at the smile on Si Si's face, Shen Ye was in a better mood, and then he thought of today's dinner, and wondered again, what kind of calculations did they have in Mengzhou Mansion, why did they announce my identity? Will this help them escape? Why?

......

"Why?"

In the handsome tent, Meng Feng saw Xue Mu returning, and immediately asked about the intention of bringing the prince to the family dinner.

Xue Mu walked closer and did not answer Meng Feng's words, but asked Qiao Qi and the others: "What is the current situation for us?" ”

Looking at the confused eyes of several people, Xue Mu said in a deep voice: "The army of Beifu has been encamped on the east side of Youzhou, blocking all the roads we have to go to Yizhou, and the Beidaying in the west and the Dongdaying army in the southeast must also be on the way to Youzhou at this time, now let's not talk about going to Yizhou, the road to Yaoshan may not be too peaceful." ”

Xue Mu continued: "So I went back last night and thought hard for a long time, why don't I open the city gate wide and let the spies from the Northern Mansion enter the city?" ”

Qiao Qi raised his eyebrows: "You want them to know that the crown prince is in our hands?" ”

Xue Mu raised his head and said, "Not bad! Not only do I want them to know, but I also want to inform the great families and the people of the city so that everyone knows that the prince is here. ”

Qiao Zheng asked, "Where is this truth?" I think we will set off immediately and leave Youzhou with the prince? ”

Xue Mu said: "Teacher, don't worry, we have to wait for someone." ”

General Zhao was shocked: "Do you still have a backhand?" Jiuqu still has an army responding? ”

Qiao Qi and the others were all looking forward to it in their hearts, could it be that they and the others really had reinforcements?

However, a few people didn't hear the expected news, only to see Xue Mu shake his head: "I'm waiting for the people from the East Camp and the North Camp to come." ”

Several people were stunned for a moment, and they couldn't understand Xue Mu's intentions.

Qiao Zheng said coldly: "Do you want to kill your father-in-law?" ”

Qiao Qi knew that Xue Mu must have deep concerns, and he quietly waited for Xue Mu's answer.

And Meng Feng seemed to have an understanding at this time, looked at Xue Mu and said, "Senior brother is afraid, the people in Beifu will?" ”

Xue Mu nodded and said, "You must know that Dugu Qi only has this one heir, if he dies, then who can inherit the throne?" ”

General Zhao also understood at this time, and he exclaimed: "You mean that the people of Beifu will force you to kill the prince when you and the prince leave?" ”

Xue Mudao: "That's what I'm worried about, if there are people in the Beifu army who are interested in other princes, then they can't wait to kill the crown prince with our hands, so that the people they support have a chance to ascend to the throne in the future." Therefore, I am afraid that once we leave Youzhou, then they will be able to encircle us and the prince on the road, and blame us for the prince's death. The people behind them will also profit from it. ”

Xue Mu looked at a few people: "So I'm waiting, waiting for the people from various camps to gather in Youzhou, and when they contain each other, we will have a chance to leave safely." ”

Several people figured out the deep meaning, and they all suddenly realized, Qiao Zheng covered his forehead and sneered: "You guys, it's really tiring to live." ”

Xue Mu smiled: "People who are tired of living can often live for a long time." ”

......

The General's Mansion is located in the east side of the imperial capital, when the new dynasty was established, in order to stabilize people's hearts, Duguli did not replace the officials who had practical work in the previous dynasty, but after a long time, Duguli found that among the six departments, many officials of the previous dynasty disobeyed their orders, especially the military department, and many of their military policies could not be issued to the local states and counties.

After a long time, the military department gradually became a piece of Duguli's heart disease, and later the emperor offered advice, Duguli carried out a large-scale military reform, withdrew the troops of the states, established four battalions in the east, west, south and north, and set up an institution called the general's office outside the military department, and the military department took out most of the power, so that the general's office was in charge of the army dispatch of the four battalions and dealt with the emergency military situation, while the military department was only responsible for the selection and awarding of officers in each state and county. Since then, the General's Palace has become the military center of the empire.

At this time, in the general's mansion, a man in a dark red robe sat in the shadows and said in a deep voice: "News from the palace, Your Majesty learned that the crown prince had died, and he was in mourning, and his old illness had relapsed, and he was now bedridden and unable to deal with government affairs. ”

Opposite him, an old general was closing his eyes and pondering, hearing this, the old general slowly opened his cloudy eyes and looked at the person in the shadows: "Meng Feng's letter to the imperial court a few days ago has been stopped by our people, except for us, no one else in the imperial court knows what happened in Youzhou, and our plan is only halfway through, why are you so anxious to inform the Holy Lord of the assassination of the prince?" Now everyone's eyes have turned to Youzhou! ”

The man in the shadows coughed violently and said, "I think it's time for our net to be closed." ”

The old general was stunned and said sharply: "Now? But we don't have any deployment around Youzhou yet! If Qiao Qi is allowed to escape, it will be a failure! ”

The man in the shadows said obscure words: "Some people just give him the stage, you don't need to tell him the next script, he will play the rest of the story for us, or even better than we designed." ”

The old general squinted his eyes: "Who else is in Youzhou?" ”

The corners of the man's mouth in the shadow curled slightly, and he said: "It is rumored in the world that the 'Three Wonders of the World' has earth-shattering powers, and what they want to destroy, even if it is an immortal, it is difficult to save." Now that two of the three odds are in Youzhou, does Qiao Qiyan have a reason to survive? ”

......

The weather in Youzhou has already entered autumn, and while Meng Feng and others are talking, the people of Youzhou City have also opened their eyes from their sleep.

The occasional shouting and cheering on the street added a touch of fireworks to Youzhou City, which had been silent all night, when the noise at the city gate broke the silence of the early morning.

"No, why didn't you let people out all of a sudden?"

"Get us out of town! We're the ones in charge of going out of town to buy food for the drunken retreat! ”

"Master Jun, we are from the Lu family's caravan, you should also be familiar with it, we just go out of the city to collect medicine as usual, why did you stop us?"

The sudden city ban in Youzhou City caught the people in the city off guard, and after a while, a crowd of more than 100 people formed at the gate of the city, and people were in a hurry. If I had known this, I should have evacuated early yesterday.

Looking at the angry situation around them, several of Ruo Zhiyue's subordinates glanced at each other and decided to break away according to the plan made in advance.

Youzhou City is now guarding the city by Jiuqu soldiers, and the people in your city are unmoved.

At this moment there was a commotion behind the crowd, and then a very wide road was quickly divided, and a dozen men with black linen faces came by carts, each of them pushing a three-wheeled wooden cart, each with three barrels, and before they could enter, a foul smell came to their faces.

The soldiers guarding the city gate resisted the urge to vomit, and the soldiers in front stretched out their hands to stop the convoy from a distance, shouting: "The state capital has ordered! No one is allowed to leave the city today! Hold it! Stop it! Don't go any further! ”

The old man in the front row seemed to have some ears behind his ears, and it wasn't until the soldiers at the city gate raised their spears that he hurriedly stopped, and the old man shouted: "Master Jun, we are the people of the Youzhou Street Division!" Hurry up and bring out the filth of the city. ”

As the largest city in the north, Youzhou City has a huge population, and there is a problem of garbage and excrement to deal with every day, so the Street Division came into being, which is an institution that recruits coolies from the private sector by the government to clean up the garbage in the city every day. They are responsible for cleaning up the household garbage in Youzhou City, which of course also includes the manure of people and livestock in the city.

"Why didn't I see you the other day?" The soldiers at the city gate pinched their noses in disgust.

The old man said: "Let the military master know, now there are few people in the street division, and we are all dealing with one city by one, and today we just cleaned up to Nancheng District." ”

Seeing that the soldiers at the city gate were still hesitating in their hearts, the old man sneered in his heart, in order to let the smell come out, he and others deliberately poked a few holes above each barrel, and then he and others covered six or seven layers of linen cloth to endure the smell, these city gate soldiers were quite able to bear it, the old man smiled evilly in his heart: "Look at Lao Tzu to add some fierce material to you!" ”

The old man said in a loud voice: "The military master doesn't believe it? He said as he reached out and opened the lid of the barrel.

"Boom!"

The onlookers were in an uproar and immediately withdrew from the distance.

Joke, it's already smelly a few meters away from the lid, and as soon as the lid is opened, it's okay, this smell is really close to smelling, but it's going to die.

The sergeants were all startled when they saw his movements, and hurriedly dissuaded him in unison: "Stop! ”

Seeing this, several clever sergeants behind him immediately ran away, leaving only the nearest soldier, who couldn't dodge for a while, and the smell hit him, making him vomit wildly.

He held on to the wall beside him and shouted to his men: "Get out of here!" Let them get out of here! ”

The head of the soldier was far away, panting, and in an instant, he saw the old man's playful gaze, and he couldn't help but hate it.

As his group went out of the city safe and sound, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the sharp voice of the soldier suddenly sounded behind him: "Stop me!" ”
