Chapter 125

After thanking Qi Yichen and seeing the county magistrate and his wife again, after asking them for a guide and saying goodbye, Su Ying and the others went back to Xiaohe Village to clean up.

In addition to bringing some change of clothes and some coils, Su Ying also brought all the realgar powder at home.

She didn't forget that when she wanted to make charcoal, she just sprinkled some realgar powder carelessly, and the small clay kiln exploded.

With these realgar powder, maybe it will be of great use at critical moments.

Du Chenyu tidied up casually, and went with him. Although the crown prince asked him to stay and take care of the villagers in Xiaohe Village, the real purpose was to let him protect Su Ying comprehensively, so that the people in Xiaohe Village could be left behind by him. Phantom caretaker.

Before the prince returned to Beijing, he kept 50 people, some of them were used to take care of the villagers of Xiaohe Village, and some were used to protect Su Ying in the dark. The combat effectiveness of these phantoms can be [-] against one, and the manpower should be enough.

This time they didn't follow the official path, there are few officials, so it is difficult to inquire about things, it is better to follow the folk path, and by the way, they can also listen to these people's views on the crown prince's enthronement.

All the way out of Longtou County smoothly, headed for the small county bordering Nanyang City.

The civil road is no better than the official road, the dirt road is full of potholes and twists and turns, the carriage walks on it, and the people in the carriage are bumped violently. Su Ying and Su Juan bumped into each other several times in the carriage.

Seeing that this was not possible, Du Chenyu let Su Mo ride his horse and he went to drive the carriage.

Sometimes it takes a certain amount of ingenuity to turn the carriage around. Su Mo is not tall enough to see the big hole in front of him, and when he sees it, he can't turn the horse's head to one side, which will make the people in the carriage suffer.

After Du Chenyu caught up with the carriage, Su Ying and Su Juan felt that it was not as bumpy as before, but Su Ying was fine. Looking at the back of the carriage, Su Juan's ears and face were also red.

It was exactly the same as Su Ying's predicament when Qi Mohan was driving the carriage. Su Mo couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

When Du Chenyu heard him laugh, he turned his head and glanced at him. Seeing that he was looking at the people in the carriage, he couldn't help but look back. When he saw Su Juan's red ears and face, he couldn't help but chuckle.

Su Juan was so angry and annoyed that she simply bit her lip and turned her head away.

Su Ying laughed and said, "It's strange, why is the elder sister so shy when she comes out? She was obviously one of us when she was at home, why didn't the elder sister blush so much?"

"There are so many people outside here, who would know where a person is lurking, if someone sees it, won't they make irresponsible remarks?"

"What's the matter? Others don't know about our relationship. When someone asks, you can say that you are a newlywed couple, or tell others that your brother-in-law is our eldest brother. What can others say?"

Su Ying covered her lips and smiled brilliantly.

"You... I can't say it!" Su Juan said embarrassingly, covering her face.

"Then let me say, lady, sit still, if you think it's too bad, you can hug your husband's back!"

Du Chenyu responded loudly, and Su Juan beat him angrily and coquettishly.

Su Mo and Su Ying couldn't help but burst out laughing.

After driving the carriage for nearly an hour, the group of them came to Lianhua County. The people here were not disturbed by the incident in Longtou County at all. The vendors were running through the streets and alleys, yelling and selling, and there was a constant stream of people coming and going. Absolutely.

Su Ying suspected that the people here didn't know anything about Longtou County, but when they passed by a teahouse, some people were talking about it, and they were talking about the birth of the prince, beating the prince violently, and going to Beijing to force the palace.

Su Ying hurriedly asked Du Chenyu to stop the carriage, and they sat outside the teahouse and listened carefully.

"The prince who was born to the emperor and the queen did not die young. I heard that he was taken away by the queen's younger sister. Do you know who the queen's brother-in-law is? It is the county magistrate of our neighboring county. Mr. Qi, the prince has been staying in Longtou County all the time. , Do you think it’s a coincidence, mysterious or not?”

"Coin... Xuan..."

"But is this true or false..."

"Be true, be true, don't you believe my news? Yesterday, there was a major incident in Longtou County. The crown prince beat the second son of the Leng family, and he also beat the prince. He went back to Beijing overnight to become the throne!"

"This prince is really good, so let him fight the second son Leng and the prince? Doesn't it mean that ordinary people can't get close to these dignitaries?"

"That's right, since he is the prince, why did he ascend the throne directly? Isn't there an emperor and queen?"

"Hey, listen to me talking slowly. Coincidentally, the second master Leng has been staying in Longtou County recently. For some reason, he provoked the crown prince. The crown prince is not easy to bully, so he directly brought his private soldiers to fight with him. Wake up, Second Master Leng was defeated, so he called his cousin Chu Jun who had put down the rebellion to support him, but Chu Jun couldn't beat the prince. General Leng heard the situation urgently and dispatched [-] archers from nearby to capture the prince alive. Unexpectedly, the emperor and queen rushed over and told them to stop, telling General Leng and a group of officials that the leader was the crown prince, who had a blue dragon birthmark on his back as evidence.

Later, the Prince Regent and his wife also came. Seeing that the crown prince had beaten the crown prince to death, of course they did not admit it. They also wanted to investigate the reason why the crown prince fought with the second son Leng and the crown prince.

But at this stall, the prince killed the emperor and queen. The prince was so angry that he wanted to kill the prince on the spot. Unexpectedly, General Leng stopped in front, and the prince killed General Leng in a fit of anger. The general wanted to kill the prince, but the regent princess was worried about the prince's safety, so she quickly took him away.

The officials who rushed over from the capital also believed that he was the crown prince, and urged him to return to the capital to ascend the throne! "

As soon as the words fell, many tea drinkers were afraid for a while.

"It turns out that our county magistrate brought people to arrest the prince yesterday. I said why did he bring so many soldiers?"

"No, the battle yesterday really scared me to death. Do you think there are rebels somewhere?"

"Then the crown prince has ascended the throne? I haven't heard any news from the palace, and I haven't seen the name of the country changed."

As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately looked at the man who started the conversation, the new emperor ascended the throne, and this news must be spread throughout the country as soon as possible, so as to set the record straight.

The man took a sip of his tea and said slowly, "Everything is fine in Longtou County, but as soon as we arrived in the capital, there were three bad news. The first was a severe drought in the northwest, the waters were cut off, and the people starved to death." For thousands of miles, mourning is everywhere.

The second article, Liang Guo suddenly invaded the border, intending to tear up the peace treaty.

The third one is that the queen mother suddenly fell ill, and all kinds of genius doctors rushed to help, but they had no clue.

Some people say that this prince is not the prince of the past, but he wants to usurp power and seize the throne, so the heavens warned the world.

The emperor and empress are away, and no one can prove the identity of the crown prince. Someone in the palace proposed to feed the crown prince's heart blood to the queen mother. I heard that the heart blood of a close relative can cure all diseases. If you take the crown prince's heart blood, the queen mother will be sick If he recovers, it proves that the prince is the real prince. If he cannot recover from the illness, he will be punished as a traitor.

Now the prince is forced to do nothing but cut his flesh and blood! "

The man finished speaking unhurriedly, and there was a burst of sighs and exclamations around him.

"Is this true or not? Are you making up stories to amuse us? How do you know so clearly what happened yesterday? What happened in Longtou County is nothing more than what happened in the capital? "

Someone asked suspiciously.
