Don't mess with the stupid concubine

Chapter 269: The Man in the Coffin! 4
The prefect of the city gate knew something was wrong when he saw the emperor's people coming quickly, so he didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly opened the city gate.

Just as the door was opened, two fast horses roared past...

Four people, two of them riding a fast horse together, chased along the official road outside the city, and finally caught up with the convoy of the General's Mansion at a fork in the road more than 30 miles outside the city.

It's a pity that the carriage and things are there, but the person has disappeared...

Where have all the people gone?The jade coffin is still there...

Caiyi quickly ran to the side of the jade coffin and saw that the lid had been opened, but the inside was empty.

The dead general's wife is gone, only a few strands of hair were found at the bottom of the coffin...

Taichu pinched the few strands of hair with his fingers, took a look, and said: "The queen guessed right, only living people's hair can be so black and shiny, and Shangguanze has already escaped with his mother's corpse..."

Xiaocui said: "What should we do? They are going too fast, and there are at least seven or eight forks here. Which way should we go after?"

Caiyi said: "Forget it, don't chase after the poor, and it's useless even if you catch up, Shangguanze must have parted ways with the old guy..."

Sima Chu said: "That's right, this place is not far from the capital, but with the strength of the few of us, it's not easy to dig a person out of the woods and wild grass? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and the only way now is to go back and send troops. Extensive searches along the way..."

So, the young men had no choice but to turn their horses around and return to the capital helplessly...

A moment later, from the bushes near the fork in the road where both Sima Chu and Fu Caiyi stayed, a large number of figures rushed out rustlingly.

It was none other than the large group of people from the General's Mansion brought by Shangguan Hong.

Shangguanze was naturally among them.

A confidant general let out a breath of cold air and said: "The old general is as good as he is, knowing that they will chase them out, so he deliberately set up a maze to make them think that we have gone far, otherwise, with those young people In terms of skill, it will be difficult for us to escape..."

"Father, I blame my son for being unfilial. I have shamed the ancestors of the Shangguan family... My son knew I was wrong..."

Shangguan Ze knelt down in front of Shangguan Hong with a plop, hugged Shangguan Hong's legs and cried loudly.

"You bastard, get up!" Shangguan Hong pulled Shangguan Ze up and said, "Knowing that mistakes are useful, is there any medicine for regret in this world? Hmph, if you are a man, give me the snot and Hold back the tears!"

"Father..." Shangguanze looked at his old father in astonishment. He originally thought that his old father would severely criticize him, or beat and scold him, but that didn't seem to be the case...

"Hmph!" Shangguanhong said with resentment, "I have killed countless enemies on the battlefield and made countless military exploits, but those ignorant children kicked me like a donkey. I really can't swallow this!"

Shangguanze didn't know what his old father meant, so he tentatively said, "Father, what do you mean..."

Shangguanhong looked at his son and couldn't help sighing: "Oh, dad is old, and you have grown up too. There are some things that you think are worth doing. You can do it anyway. You don't need to worry too much. Anyway, our general's mansion is now Your prestige is no longer there, you can go ahead and fight, you can bring all the soldiers of the general's mansion, father only needs to bring a few cronies..."
