Chapter 67: Sowing Discord
Hearing this, Haitang couldn't help but look at his brother Haijiao in surprise: "The people of the Queen Mother Khan? How did the Queen Mother Khan know that this concubine was going to escape? ”
Haijiao smiled and said, "Who knows how many eyes and ears she has planted on Uncle Wang's side?" She just knew it anyway. Although this woman is not very old, she is quite cunning and vicious. She sent someone to intercept the little concubine, not in her own capacity, but under the banner of the third princess's mother's brother......"
The third prince and concubine have a maiden brother, who is a notoriously reckless person, brave and unscrupulous. However, he was very close to his sister, and knew that his sister was angry at her in-law's house, so he came over with his father to support her. Uncle Wang had a conflict with his in-laws and old friends for many years for the sake of his "grandson", and he knew that it was inappropriate, but he insisted on keeping his son's concubine and child. And the maiden father and brothers of the third princess, for her interests, can't tolerate that bold concubine who doesn't know how to be humble, and she must be killed. During this period, the brother of the third princess shook off cruel words more than once, but everyone who heard it thought that he was just talking about it, and he wouldn't really do it.
God knows how the Queen Mother Khan knew these inside stories, anyway, the people she sent stopped the concubine and her party, and when she said cruel words in the name of the third prince and concubine's brothers, they let passers-by hear it, and then they began to kill the killer.
The concubine, the key person who "conceived the only son of the third prince", was naturally killed on the spot, and no one escaped from the henchmen of the horse farm owner, but one of the maids below was seriously injured, and was rescued by Uncle Wang's men who rushed to hear the sound, and another maid fled in a panic, and met the Chang'an caravan she knew halfway, and they took shelter and survived.
Uncle Wang learned about this from the injured maid afterwards, and immediately quarreled with his in-laws, and almost didn't draw a knife to chop the other party's son. And the third princess felt that she had never done such a thing, so why should she be wronged? The people behind the trouble don't know what the conspiracy is, and Uncle Wang is too ruthless and unreasonable to make trouble because of the words of a maid.
The third princess packed her luggage on the same day and followed her father and brother back to her parents' house. Whether he will come back in the future depends on whether the third prince can return safely, and whether he has the sincerity to apologize to her after returning to China. Otherwise, she has a good youth, and she has no children to drag her down, so why waste her youth on a man who doesn't know if he can come back?
The Queen Mother of the Khan destroyed the descendants of the enemy with one hand, and provoked the enemy and his allies with the other, so it can be said that she won the hemp.
When Uncle Wang ordered someone to collect the body of his son's concubine, he found clues from the weapons that fell on the scene, and realized that all this was planted by the Queen Mother Khan, in order to divide him and his allies. But even if he regrets it and wants to restore the friendship with his in-laws, the rift between the two parties cannot be repaired.
The Queen Mother Khan had a gap with several allies, and Uncle Wang almost turned against his in-laws, and the limit of this wave was one for one, neither of them benefited, and the strength of the two sides returned to a delicate balance.
The maid who fled back to Uncle Wang was seriously injured and died, and the maid hiding in the caravan did not dare to come forward again, for fear that Uncle Wang would find out the truth that his mistress was not pregnant and vent his anger on the people around her. If she goes back, will she not be sent to death? And the stewards of the racecourse are all dead, and it is difficult for her to gain a foothold in the racecourse as a weak woman, so it is better to follow the caravan.
The maid was of mixed Chinese descent, fluent in Chinese, and could communicate with the caravan people without barriers. The people of the caravan took her very "kindly", and covered her up when they left the customs, so as not to let the Hu soldiers discover her true identity.
It's just that because Uncle Wang was not angry that he was put on the side of the Queen Mother Khan, he fought with the Queen Mother Khan again, which caused turmoil in the royal capital, and the caravan was also implicated. Uncle Wang tried his best to facilitate peace talks and save his son; The Queen Mother Khan desperately dragged her feet and deliberately undermined relations between the two countries. Because the caravan had stayed in the royal capital for a long time, it was detained by the people at the checkpoint under the banner of suspecting that there were spies, and it dragged on until the autumn, and sent countless belongings before it was able to get out of the customs smoothly and return to Dachu.
The maid thought that the caravan was being carried out by herself, and after hiding in the carriage for several months, she was almost frightened, and during this time she fell ill. The people of the caravan carefully treated her and recuperated, and by the time she followed the caravan to Suzhou, she was already a diehard member of the caravan, and she was willing to serve whatever they told her to do.
The maid naturally heard who the real murderer of the hostess was, and knew better that the hostess's demon was the reason for her death. But she obeyed the orders of the caravan, and after arriving in Ganzhou, she cried and told the owner of the horse farm the "truth" that the hostess was persecuted by the mistress after she became pregnant, was forced to flee, and then died at the hands of the queen mother. When she arrived in front of the third prince, her speech focused on the fact that the Queen Mother Khan killed the pregnant mistress in the name of the third prince's concubine's brother and provoked discord between the prince and his in-laws.
As a result, the owner of the horse farm hated the Hu people to the core, and at the same time was grateful to the Chang'an caravan that brought him news of his daughter, and unreservedly said his private intelligence network and station in the Western Regions, so that the caravan could borrow it, and even if Jiayuguan was closed in the future, they could also take another lesser-known trade route. He also told the border generals who interrogated him many secrets of Hu nobles, hoping that they could use these confidential information to kill a few more Hu people in order to avenge their daughters.
Within two days of telling these things, the owner of the horse farm fell ill and died in prison. His funeral was done by the caravan with the maid, and a young man in the caravan married the maid soon after, and in the future, they will inherit the horse farm owner's Western Regions Intelligence Network and the people stationed there. Many merchants who often traveled on both sides of the Great Chu and the Western Regions had heard about it, but no one had any objections to the "loyal" maid, at most they would only say that she and her man were lucky enough.
As for the third prince, his hatred for the Queen Mother Khan and the Little Khan King is naturally deeper, and he can't fly back to his homeland immediately to bite the mother and son who caused him to be imprisoned and his wife to death. At the same time, he was also complaining in his heart about his father and wife, why did they only care about quarrels and did not protect his children? However, in order to return to his homeland, regain power, and defeat the enemy and make a comeback, these resentments can be buried deep in his heart for the time being. As long as he can return home safely, he is willing to do anything now.
He told the officers and soldiers guarding him that the attack on Dachu was actually not that important to him. That was the dream of the old Khan king, and it had nothing to do with him. Since that dead old man didn't intend to hand over the throne to him from the beginning, but only coaxed him to fight for him, then don't blame him for turning his face ruthlessly and killing his favorite heir in the future!
Slow down—
Haitang interrupted his elder brother's words: "Is this what the third prince of Hu Ren said himself?" Really? ”
Haijiao smiled: "Naturally, he said it himself, but who believes that he is sincere?" It's just that in order to return to the country safely, he deliberately confessed his so-called sincerity to the officials of Dachu. Really let him go back, once he cleaned up the Queen Mother Khan and the Little Khan King, could he really give up his delusions about the land of Great Chu? He used to invade the border cities of Great Chu, could it be that he was young and ignorant, and was bewitched by the old Khan King? ”
However, even if the third prince breaks his promise after returning to China, it is not a big problem. How could he easily deal with the Queen Mother Khan and the Little Khan? Even if he had this ability, Da Chu would let them fight evenly for a few more years.
In the past, Da Chu might not have been able to do it, but now, they have taken over the intelligence network of the horse farm owner, and everything is different......
Haitang raised her eyebrows: "Speaking of which, I'm quite curious." How could this horse rancher be willing to give his Western Regions Intelligence Network with both hands? Does he know the details of the caravan? ”
