Chapter 139
The four princes and concubines, none of whom were left behind, were all punished.
They were naturally dissatisfied, but they were also worried that someone would be placed in the mansion to monitor them, so they didn't dare to show it.
In fact, although the emperor was displeased with them asking about things they should not ask, he never thought that they would have something wrong in their hearts.
So no one was watching at all.
On the contrary, the fifth prince who came back from the court was terrified after learning about this incident, and lived in peace for a few days without causing any more troubles.
The state of Chu is really far away from Beixiao, and the letter that the emperor received was already a few days ago.
He still doesn't know if the prince has led the troops to attack the city, and he is hesitating whether to give orders to cross the prince.
But if he gave this order, I am afraid that the officials will not be very satisfied.
While the emperor was hesitating, Xiao Changyin made a move.
He stood in a room, looking at the... pit in front of him with a complicated expression.
Or it can be described as authentic.
The man climbed up from the tunnel with a disheveled face, and patted the dirt on his skirt and sleeves again.
Then he said to Xiao Changyin, "I have seen the prince."
Xiao Changyin: "...You are really good at this."
The man only took it as a compliment and smiled happily.
After a while, when he remembered the business, the man became serious again, "Your Highness, Shao Ling's matter has been arranged by my subordinates."
"It's just... this subordinate finally thought that His Highness didn't have to do this. It's really too risky."
Even if the arrangement is perfect from beginning to end, there may not be no omissions.
The room was pitch black except for one window that was open for some light.
And standing by the window is Fan Zhou.
"I've made up my mind and it won't change."
The man didn't expect to persuade him to be successful, but this didn't prevent him from feeling strange.
After all, he thought that with the current strength of His Royal Highness, there was no need for such a tactful method.
Even if he directly returned to the Beixiao Palace after winning the Chu Kingdom, it could be called justifiable.
That night.
Before setting off, Shao Ling knelt on the ground and listened to the promise made by the Emperor of Chu.
He promised how many benefits he would get if he shot and killed Prince Bei Xiao when the two armies were fighting.
After the emperor finished his promise, Shao Ling stood up.
Sitting on the emperor's right hand, the national teacher raised his hand, and a servant came out, holding a bow in his hand.
The Emperor of Chu State said, "This is a fine bow that I have worked so hard to obtain, and I present it to you now."
Shao Ling took the bow and turned to leave.
The Emperor of Chu State looked at the figure of the boy leaving, and touched the beard on his chin unconsciously, "Can this work?"
The national teacher said, of course it doesn't work.
Bei Xiao's tens of thousands of soldiers were already approaching the city, and even if the crown prince was shot into a hedgehog, Chu's strength was exhausted.
"The lord is about to die, and the rest of the people will be like a pile of loose sand. If they don't attack, they will be destroyed." The national teacher's voice paused, and he continued, "Your Majesty, you know that there are ministers going to Prince Beixiao now."
Hearing this, the emperor hated, "These lifeless things dare to betray me."
The national teacher still has his mind to think. Those who don't betray at this time are ignorant of current affairs.
"Besides, the princes seem to have that thought too."
The emperor of Chu State was shocked, "Master, what did you say?"
The national teacher did not intend to directly report the name, but said, "Your Majesty, please investigate this matter carefully, or I don't know if I misunderstood it."
The Emperor of Chu's face was livid, "I know."
At the end, he added another sentence, "These rebels." He couldn't help asking, "The elixir of life that the national teacher mentioned earlier...has there been any progress?"
The national teacher didn't expect the emperor to still think about this, he nodded hesitantly, "There is progress, after the Chu country has passed the crisis, I will first find someone to test the medicine."
"When it succeeds, I will dedicate it to His Majesty."
The emperor of Chu State nodded, and asked his personal servant to send the national teacher out of the palace.
At the gate of the palace, the national teacher walked a few steps and remembered, and said to the close servant, "I forgot to tell His Majesty just now, and you just passed a few words for me."
"Let's just say that I'm afraid I have to enter the palace from time to time in the past few days, including at night."
"So please give me the waist card for leaving the palace, Your Majesty, so that I won't have to go back and report."
"This back and forth also delays a lot of time."
Since there was a precedent for this before, the servant didn't feel suspicious either.
After returning, he talked to the emperor of Chu.
The emperor of Chu State trusted the national teacher very much, and asked his servant to find out the waist card, and asked him to send the belt card to the national teacher tomorrow when he saw the national teacher.
Shao Ling didn't trust the national teacher at first, until he was sent to assassinate Xiao Changyin, but his king refused to protect him.
The reason is that if he fails, his king can shirk responsibility as much as possible.
So in the end, the people who guarded Shao Ling all the way were the two teams of guards from the National Teacher's Mansion.
"Master Shao, it's not time yet."
Shao Ling stopped and rested at the place where he lived temporarily, but he was tireless after all, so he stood up after a while.
By the faint candlelight, he looked at the good bow and the sharp arrow.
Day, it will be bright soon.
A guard came over to call Shao Ling, and within a quarter of an hour, everyone packed up.
Shao Ling wasn't going to face him head-on.
He knew very well that if they faced each other head-on, he would have no chance of winning.
As for the shameful sneak attack... He thought that soldiers never tire of deceit.
On the battlefield, never ask how the process is, just look at whether the result is victory or defeat.
When the two princes were carried out of the room, they still felt incredible.
They never expected or understood that Xiao Changyin would let them out.
Fan Zhou sneered a few times beside him, "Second Prince, Third Prince, it's time to go."
Although Xiao Changqi was a little annoyed at Fan Zhou's disrespect to him, he was not that angry.
Apart from the fact that Fan Zhou chopped off a few heads in front of them that day, and the blood splashed on their faces, there was also the Fan family behind Fan Zhou.
That is the Fan family with real military power.
"I don't know if General Fan knows what happened? Why did the fourth brother ask us to go to the battlefield?"
Although he knew that Fan Zhou was Xiao Changyin's right-hand man, Xiao Changmo couldn't help but put on eye drops, "I thought that the fourth brother would not let the second brother and I play in order to take all the credit."
Fan Zhou pouted, but did not refute.
If you want him to say, these elder brothers and younger brothers of His Royal Highness can live up to now, it is really His Royal Highness who has not done much.
Seeing that Fan Zhou did not refute, the two glanced at each other, feeling something was wrong.
So he had to go back within a few steps, suspecting that Xiao Changyin had set up an ambush to kill them today.
Fan Zhou who understood the meaning: "..."
He really wanted to say, you two princes are really thinking too much, His Royal Highness is not prepared to do anything to you at all.
Fan Zhou sighed and stopped persuading, and walked straight forward.
Fan Zhou walked forward, but the two hesitated again.
Today, they were going to break through the gates of the Chu Kingdom in one go. If they don't show up again, I'm afraid the credit will be completely lost.
