Chapter 309
In the cool autumn night, the horses' hoofs are trampling, the wheels are rolling, and the silent night is illuminated by hundreds of torches. The little fires in this dark night are as mysterious and unpredictable as the will-o'-the-wisps in the cemetery.

Sima Kangcheng, who was sitting in the carriage, lightly closed his eyes, trying to eliminate suspects one by one in his mind.

Who is the person pretending to be him and writing to the prince, who wants to hit him, and what is the purpose?
These questions, no matter how much he thought about them, he couldn't think of a reason.

He opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the gloomy bushes on both sides of the mountain road, feeling a little hairy in his heart for no reason.

Could it be the person behind the scenes?
When we arrived at Fengshan, it was midnight, and the quiet village was suddenly awakened by the sound of horses, wheels and footsteps, and everyone was in panic.

Could it be that there is a war.

Some farmers in the village came out one by one to check, and when they heard that it was Prime Minister Sima who led the prince back to his hometown, they were even more frightened.

The only ones who were happy were a few relatives of Prime Minister Sima.

The Sima family is usually rich and unkind in the village, so Prime Minister Sima's return to his hometown will only bring uneasiness and anger to the people in the village.

Moreover, he also said that the prince is here.

A carpenter from Jingchuan came from the village the day before yesterday. The carpenter told a lot about the prince Ancheng, saying that the prince killed people like hemp, and that every big family was beheaded to death by him.

All the ordinary people who were awakened blew out the candles that had just been lit, and took their families and fled to the mountains in the dark without saying a word.

They were all afraid that the prince was here to kill people.

The relatives of Prime Minister Sima thought that the prime minister was sending money again, but they didn't expect it to be wrong. They were all guessing what the prime minister was doing with the prince.

Frightened by the prince's bloodthirsty reputation, they all hid aside, not daring to say a word.

Of course, Prime Minister Sima's relatives didn't know that Prime Minister Sima had treasures in the village.

The only person in this village who knows this treasure is the eldest son who guards his old house.

The eldest son was dumbfounded when he saw the prince bringing hundreds of officers and soldiers into his old house.

He pulled his father aside and asked secretly: "Father, what is the prince doing?"

Sima Kangcheng sighed and said, "Come and get the treasure."

"Ah! Dad, what did you say? The prince is here to get the treasure?" The eldest son has guarded the treasure for more than 20 years, and he has already shown his feelings. When he heard that the prince came to get the treasure, he was so excited that he jumped up immediately. , "Father, this treasure was saved by your old man so hard, how can you give it to others?"

Sima Kangcheng said: "I don't know who wrote a letter secretly to the prince, saying that I have a treasure here, alas, my son, just leave it alone, since the prince wants it, then give it to him."

"No, no, this treasure belongs to the Sima family. How can you just give it to someone? I'll tell the prince."

The eldest son shut himself up in the old house every day and never interacted with others, so he knew nothing about the prince.

When Sima Kangcheng heard this, he became impatient, and quickly prepared to call to stop his eldest son, but he didn't dare to shout loudly, because the prince was drinking tea in another courtyard.

He hurriedly wanted to hold his son, but he was too old to walk fast, and the eldest son stayed in the mansion every day to practice martial arts hard in order to guard the treasure. His body was very strong and long, so he walked quickly. fast.

After the eldest son walked quickly to the room where the crown prince was, he hurriedly said to the crown prince Ancheng: "Your highness, there is no treasure in my family. I don't know who your highness listens to nonsense."

The prince was holding tea and preparing to drink it, when he suddenly heard the person standing in front of him not only speaking badly, but also in such an aggressive tone.

The prince didn't move his hand holding the teacup, he looked up at the person in front of him, bored in his violent eyes.

"Who are you? How dare you yell in front of me."

The eldest son said: "I am the eldest son of Prime Minister Sima."

When the prince heard that he was the eldest son of Prime Minister Sima, he calmed down a little, and asked again: "What did you just say?"

The eldest son said angrily: "I said that there is no treasure in this house, it's someone else's gossip."

Snapped--

The teacup in the crown prince's hand was thrown to the ground by him. He stood up abruptly, drew a sword from his waist, and struck at Sima Kangcheng's eldest son.

Sima Kangcheng just arrived at this time, and happened to bump into the prince drawing his sword.

"Prince Hall—"

But before Sima Kangcheng finished yelling, his eldest son was hit in the chest with a sword.

The prince's sword was too fast, and Sima Kangcheng's eldest son didn't expect that he just said a few words, and His Highness drew his sword to face him.

Sweet blood gushed out of his throat non-stop, he stared at the prince in puzzlement, then turned his head to look at his old father.

What, what's wrong?Only said two words!Did he just die like this?
There were still a lot of questions before he had time to think about it, so he fell to the ground with a bang.

"My son—" Sima Kangcheng fainted on the ground when he saw this scene.

Sima Kangcheng's other sons were originally in another room, and they hurried over when they heard the voice.

Their elder brother fell into a pool of blood, but the prince calmly pulled the sword out of their elder brother's chest, and wiped the blood from the sword on his clothes one by one.

"Big brother-"

Sima Kangcheng's youngest son was about to rush over, but was stopped by Sima Kangcheng's third son.

At this moment, Sima Kangcheng's third son was the calmest.

He knew very well that if they offended the prince recklessly, they would only end up in the same fate as his elder brother.

Prince An Cheng threw the sword to the guard next to him, and the guard wiped the sword well with his own sleeve, then put the sword into the tip of the sword, and placed it beside the prince.

Prince Ancheng took a sip of tea calmly, and Juan'er beside him peeled a small peanut and fed it into his mouth.

After he put the teacup away, he said to the guard next to him, "Go and wake up Prime Minister Sima."

"Yes."

Two guards had already dragged away the body of the eldest son, and the other guard was among the people holding Sima Kangcheng. After a while, Sima Kangcheng woke up.

He looked tearfully at the place where his elder son fell to the ground, only a pool of bright red blood remained.

"Prime Minister Sima, it's time to dig out this treasure!" the prince asked with a smile on his face.

Sima Kangcheng glanced around at his sons, he felt that at this moment he was like a lamb to be slaughtered by the prince, and he could only do what the prince said.

In any case, he couldn't let his other sons die.

He nodded to Prince An Cheng, and said: "Yes, the old minister will take His Highness down to dig."

An Cheng smiled happily: "Hahaha, okay, okay, Prime Minister Sima please!"
