Dayong Nu sentenced to death

In the end, someone rushed ahead of her and said, "By the way, Your Highness, you are seriously injured. Why on earth did you take the risk of revealing your whereabouts and killed those people?"

Zhu Yan's words hit the point.

He couldn't figure it out all the time.

Through the light of the fire, Su Rao saw that the prince's gentle expression froze suddenly, and the wooden girl not far beside him trembled violently, and the blood on her face faded.

He stared blankly in this direction.

Thinking of the bruised and purple fingerprints on her body and the death conditions of those officers and soldiers, Su Rao suddenly understood something. Just when the prince was hesitating about how to answer, she picked up a stick and fiddled with the fire, and said casually: "Officials in the court can be responsible for disaster relief." There are too many envoys to enumerate, how could it be that elder brother left Beijing himself in the end?"

Zhu Yan looked at her in surprise.

Mu girl was also taken aback, her reddened eyes revealed her uneasy mood at this time, she turned her head to look at the rock wall, and remained silent.

"Ah Rao doesn't know something."

The prince breathed a sigh of relief, and said along the way: "Since the previous disaster relief envoy was killed, it has been difficult to decide on a new candidate. If the delay continues, I am afraid that there will be chaos in Jizhou and the people will not be safe, so I have written a letter to ask for orders."

Since ancient times, there have been constant natural disasters in various places. The imperial court has established a set of regulations for disaster relief in response to these changes.

Only this time is an exception.

When His Majesty came to court, he asked who was willing to take orders to help the disaster, but none of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty answered, they looked at each other and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

After questioning, some said that their mother was seriously ill and could not travel far, and some said that they were plagued by a serious illness and could hardly move...

Pushing each other's backs, quarreling and blushing.

In fact, it was nothing more than seeing the miserable death of a disaster relief envoy, and because of the ferocity of the rebel army, he did not dare to risk himself.

This is also human nature, but there must always be someone to do disaster relief. Others can retreat and hide. As the prince, he is supported by the people of the world and has his own responsibility.

Even if he knew that this trip would inevitably face enemies, he still had to come.

"I see."

Su Rao suddenly realized, "It's just right, some people here need to be seen by my brother."

"Who?"

The prince wondered.

Su Rao turned to look at Xiao San and the others who were sitting and resting not far away, and greeted with a smile: "Brother Xiao, come here."

Xiao San and the others were shocked, both surprised and delighted, not daring to delay, hurriedly walked to the fire, directly lifted their robes and knelt down, not daring to lift their heads, "See Your Highness for humble ranks."

The firelight reflected their figures, making the shadows slender.

The prince looked at Su Rao suspiciously and said, "A Rao, they are..."

"They escaped from Weiji camp to report. I think my brother needs to hear some news."

"it is good."

The crown prince nodded in response, looked at Xiao San and the others and said, "Get up without courtesy."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Xiao San and the others kowtowed respectfully and stood up.

Under Su Rao's gesture, he recounted what he saw and heard in Weiji Camp and the conversation between the general and the mysterious man.

After the words fell, the cave fell into a strange dead silence.

It took a long time for the prince to raise his eyes and stare at them, his tone was slow, but there was a majesty that could not be ignored, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

General Dayong colluded with foreign countries to seize Waliang Pass.

He even set up a situation to ambush the prince of the dynasty.

No matter which of these two pieces of news is released, it is a big event that is enough to set off a bloodbath.

"A humble official dares to guarantee his life, there is absolutely no falsehood."

Xiao San and the others knelt down again.

The crown prince frowned slightly, his face was full of solemnity, he didn't say anything for a while, the atmosphere became stagnant like this, Su Rao glanced back and forth, and said lightly: "Brother, would you like to listen to me?"

Her words pulled the prince out of his thoughts, the prince's face turned pale, his tone softened, and he said softly, "Say it."

"The rebellion in Jizhou is strange. It's not that there was no famine in the past. Most of the disaster victims gathered. Few local garrisons participated in it. The army rebelled and captured the city. Although it occupied the four cities to the north of Jizhou, it still It is very difficult for such a randomly assembled team to fight against the imperial army, and those who plan things with some brains should know how to hide their strengths, hide their strengths and bide their time, or delay time in order to find a way out."

"But they slaughtered the imperial court's disaster relief envoys, and made an open and honest enemy of the imperial court, as if deliberately provoking disputes."

The prince hesitated and said, "Ah Rao, you mean that they had ulterior motives from the beginning?"

"The news brought by Xiao San and the others can just explain these strange things, and my brother knows this in his heart, but he just doesn't want to admit it, doesn't he?"

Su Rao pointed out the pros and cons sharply: "The encirclement of the rebels, the pursuit of the assassins, and even the forces of the rivers and lakes are all involved. They don't want you to return to Beijing alive."

"I believe that when my elder brother left the capital, there must be many experts around him. Even the young master dispatched people to protect him in the dark. Such a strict defense, but he has come to the present stage. I'm afraid it can't be explained by a simple sentence of bad luck."

"Otherwise, brother won't be alone in this place."

She meant something.

Hearing this, the crown prince couldn't help but smiled wryly, and sighed: "I think I know why Yan Heqing is pure-hearted and ascetic, and has not stirred up the dust for many years, but she is moved by you."

"Brother, do you know now?"

Su Rao smiled and blinked, "I thought you knew me when you saw me. After all, it's rare to see someone as good-looking, smart and independent as me."

"Where is there a girl who praises herself so much?"

The prince was amused by her, and the worry on his face dissipated a lot, and he joked: "I came out in a hurry this time, brother doesn't have a good meeting gift for you, so let me remind you first."

"what?"

"Don't look at He Qing's aloof and indifferent personality like strangers, he prefers you to cling to others than to be independent."

Su Rao raised her eyebrows slightly, "Really?"

"real."

The prince said solemnly, the moment their eyes met, the two couldn't help laughing, and each laughed. After the joke was over, the smile on the prince's face faded, as if helpless, as if sad, "You're right, I just don't want to Admit that, in order to fight for power and profit, those people colluded with foreign countries and put the people in trouble."

Jizhou suffered a natural disaster, starving and dying everywhere.

The rebels are in chaos, and the people are in dire straits.

However, those royal family members who enjoy wealth and honor have no mercy in the matter of power and profit when it comes to disaster relief.

How hateful!

"It may not necessarily be collusion with foreign countries, after all, there is a person who commits rebellion in the middle."

This big fight, Dayan is profitable, and so is the imperial court.

What about the rebels, what is his purpose?
Su Rao was a little curious.

But she quickly put these thoughts aside, met the prince's deep gaze, and said in a low voice: "What happened after elder brother left Beijing?"
