Chapter 507 The end of the road

"Do the First Madam and the Third Madam know where the Second Madam has gone?"

After hearing what the steward said, King Huai frowned and asked.

The butler shook his head.

King Huai's face darkened, but things had priorities. He calmed down, looked at the housekeeper, and said, "Where is Fu Sheng?"

The housekeeper was about to answer when he saw footsteps outside the house. Seeing that the door was open, he walked straight away. Seeing that King Huai was awake, he was happy at first, but soon his face became serious again, and he handed over his hands to fight first. He said hello: "Your Majesty."

King Huai nodded, and just when he was about to ask where Fengzhou would go from here, Fifth Fusheng said with some urgency: "My lord, my subordinates have found the reason for the ambush and defeat of General Chu Ce."

Although the facts had already happened and it was useless even if he knew the reason, King Huai still frowned and asked, "What is the reason?"

"My subordinates suspect that the Xiao family surrendered to the enemy before General Chu Ce sent troops." Although the doctor diagnosed King Huai before and told him to rest and not be irritated again, the matter is very important. The fifth Fusheng still felt the need to tell him.

"What."

He has been betrayed twice by people he trusted.

Once for the Xiao family and once for the Li family.

Even based on the analysis of Fifth Fusheng, I thought about it deeply.

It was okay not to think about it, but when he thought about it, he felt extremely humiliated, because he suspected that Mrs. Xiao had already rebelled and acted as Chen Mo's internal agent when she was captured by Chen Mo in Huaizhou.

"After some inquiries and investigations, I found that the direction of the Xiao family's motorcade was Huaizhou, and after my subordinates told me about the appearance of the second lady, someone said that they saw the second lady in the Xiao family's motorcade."

When Xiao Yunxi and Mrs. Hui were in Huaizhou, they were also captured by Chen Mo.

And he increasingly believed that his guess was correct.

But he wondered why Mrs. Hui and Mrs. Gan didn't take advantage of this opportunity to escape together?
Is it because the target is too big?
"Bring the second young master here?" King Huai said through gritted teeth.

Upon hearing this, King Huai stared at Fifth Fusheng with his bloodshot pupils under his brows, and said coldly: "Why do you doubt it?"

These are all the same.

Well, because of Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong, King Huai no longer trusts the Li family.

And once suspicion arises, it becomes out of control.

The Xiao family and the Li family betrayed him differently.

If the Xiao family betrays again, then he...
"After discovering that the second lady was missing, my subordinates immediately went to investigate. At first, they thought that the second lady had been kidnapped by thieves. Later, they discovered that after the prince left Shan County with his military camp, only members of the Xiao family came. After passing the palace, my subordinates sent people to the Xiao family, and found that the Xiao family was empty at this time..." Fifth Fusheng eloquently told the story of the investigation, and finally said:

Chen Mo let her go, just on purpose.

After listening to Fifth Fusheng's analysis, King Huai's expression darkened to the extreme.

"At this juncture, why are the Xiao family going to Huaizhou? They want to bring the second lady with them. They are obviously ulterior motives. In addition, the battle in Yixian County was defeated so quickly. The subordinates have to suspect that the Xiao family is in Huaizhou. He had already rebelled before that.”

The second young master he mentioned was his and Mrs. Xiao's son.

In order to compete for the position of the crown prince, he served as a partial general in the personal army camp.

When I went to pick him up last night, King Huai took him with him. Just when the housekeeper was about to go down to take someone.

An armored soldier came in from outside, with a look of urgency on his face, and saluted: "Your Majesty, it's not good. News came from the front that the Xiao family had defected to Chen Jun before December 3rd. , so that Chen Jun knew the movement of our troops in advance.

Dozens of hours have passed since the end of the Yi Zhan War. As long as Chen Jun did not intentionally block the news and conceal it, the events of that day were naturally revealed bit by bit.

The words of the personal soldiers immediately made King Huai dumbfounded.

If it was just a guess before, now the soldiers' words can be said to have confirmed the matter.

King Huai suddenly felt that the world was spinning again.

However, this was not over yet. Not long after the soldiers' words fell, a staff member of Prince Huai's Mansion came over. Seeing that the door was open, he came in directly. Seeing that Prince Huai was awake and there were so many people in the room, he did not hide it. Tucking it in, I said it:
"Your Majesty, there is news from the north. It is said that Chen Mo led troops to capture Haiyan Pass in Jinxia and rescued tens of thousands of people in the Song Dynasty. The news also said that Chen Mo once said something before he captured Haiyan Pass. "If you tell the bandits to go, I can go too."

"Pfft." After hearing this, Prince Huai couldn't bear it any longer. His pale cheeks suddenly showed a strange flush, and blood oozed from the corners of his mouth. He spat out a large mouthful of blood on the bed. The next second, his eyes turned black. It's because I don't know the personnel.

But this time, King Huai was in a coma for a whole day and night.

I thought that the current situation was already bad and couldn't get any worse.

Things turned out to be even worse.

The imperial court's proclamation against King Huai has now reached Fengzhou.

The memorandum stated that King Huai not only had no king and no father, but also intended to rebel. He also had no feelings for his family and country. When Chen Mo was working hard for his country to resist Jin Xia, he actually raided Chen Mo's rear. Such a villain should be punished by all the heroes in the world. Of.

……

the other side.

In a mountain range bordering Huaizhou and Fengzhou.

In order to avoid running into King Huai, when the Xiao family ran away, they did not take the route taken by the Huai army to attack Yixian County.

Instead, we deliberately took a long detour, even taking a mountain road.

After traveling a long distance, the Xiao family stopped to rest and eat the dry food they had brought with them.

Mrs. Xiao looked at her old father and said worriedly: "Father, my daughter is gone, what will happen to Ze'er?"

Ze'er is Mrs. Xiao's son and the second son of Prince Huai's palace.

"The tiger's poison will not eat its children. The second young master is the biological son of King Huai, and his blood is in his blood. But you are different. To the Wang family, you are just an outsider after all. Things in Yixian County will definitely be exposed. If you don't leave, you and I won't be able to leave," Mrs. Xiao's father said.

"What if Prince Keke really angers Ze'er?" Mrs. Xiao said with a slight cry.

"No." Although Father Xiao did not guarantee this, he could only comfort him like this.

In this regard, Mrs. Xiao could only hope that King Huai would consider his family affection and not kill his own son.

Seeing Mrs. Xiao's downcast expression, in order to avoid her affecting the entire convoy, she comforted her with another sentence: "It's okay. You see, Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong have surrendered to the enemy. Besides being imprisoned, Mrs. Chu Shou and Mrs. Hui are fine."

As he said this, Father Xiao suddenly thought of something. He glanced around and saw that no one was looking here, so he asked softly: "Tell me honestly, when he was captured by Chen Mo in Wuguan, he Did he touch you?"
