Chapter 495 Take Out the Traitors (3)
The corners of Zhu Jing's mouth slightly raised, and he said to the two of them: "It's just a matter of reading a few more books at home. It's just right. My Zizhi Tongjian, due to frequent occurrences during the period, I haven't been able to finish reading it. During this period of my son's vacation, I can calm down and take notes."

Zhu Qi's suspicious eyes fell on the corner of his slightly raised mouth.

Perhaps it is the most merciful for the emperor not to punish them, but to tell them to contemplate their mistakes behind closed doors.However, since the emperor had already become suspicious of them once, it was inevitable to become suspicious again.Just because the emperor is such a person.

Zhu Jing's hand suddenly touched the top of her head: "Father and Emperor know that we are their sons and courtiers, so don't think too much about it."

Lao Jiu immediately nodded to his words.What the emperor was more afraid of was that they would seek the throne. As for their childhood companions who let go of their childhood sweethearts in a moment of softness, it was not worth mentioning to the emperor. At most, they would only say that they were not cold-hearted and mature enough.

The emperor was afraid that they were really cold-blooded. At that time, they might have the intention of killing the emperor's father.

The prince's soft-heartedness in front of the emperor is often appreciated by the emperor, which is not exactly the reason.

Her starling, it turned out that even this step was planned in his heart, so he let Zhu Li go on purpose.It seems that her starlings are sure that Ximen's escape is the bait, so no matter what, they have to persuade her, who has the best relationship with Zhu Li in the eyes of everyone, to go into battle.

Startled at every step.Zhu Qi's eyes flashed, and she quickly followed Lao Ba who was walking forward.

After receiving the emperor's verbal order, the Admiral's Mansion immediately dispatched elites to secretly go out from the east gate to track down the person who escaped from the waterway last night.

Everyone knows that the wharf is just outside the east gate, and the nourishment of the river water irrigates the surrounding farmland.The farms on the outskirts of Dongmen are one after another. When it comes to the autumn harvest season, they are golden and brilliant. It is as grand as the southern suburbs of the capital, except that there is the most famous Jingtai Mountain in the east gate, and the Longevity Garden in the southern suburbs.

Many high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital have their own fertile farms in the East Gate.After going out from the east gate, there are many farmlands, each village and each household are closely connected, the roads are intricate, and there are many people living and working in agriculture.In addition, merchants who come from all directions of the country through the waterway will gather here, and all kinds of underground transactions are even more rampant here.Due to the collusion between government and businessmen, even if Shuntian Mansion in the capital has jurisdiction over this place, it has always turned a blind eye to the people and things in this place.

Such a place with very complex terrain and humanities undoubtedly provided the best shelter for those who escaped from the east gate.

Fu Yan released the message sent by Parrot, saying that the map on Zhu Li was lost.

Li Min and the others, after escaping from the waterway gate of the capital last night, followed the escape route arranged by their husband's advisers, and entered a farm in the suburbs called Xitai'an.

Like many Zhuangzi, Xitai'an was built on the mountain and lived in seclusion in the mountains.

Even if the emperor's pursuers entered the eastern suburbs, it would not be easy for them to go door to door to find this place.

After fleeing all night, the men and horses were exhausted.There was no need for Li Min's order, Meng Haoming followed the rules in the army, except for the guards, everyone went down to take turns to rest.

When Nian Xia followed Li Min's order and came to look for him, Meng Haoming and the owner of Xitai'an were discussing where to place a sentry post at the foot of the mountain.

"Meng Qizhu, the eldest young lady wants you to go there." Nian Xia said.

Meng Haoming turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw it was her, he nodded.

Nian Xia thought that the expression on his back just now seemed to be looking for someone else, so he couldn't help covering the corner of his mouth with a knowing smile, and said, "Chunmei is in the kitchen."

At some point, the fact that the master wanted to be a matchmaker for him seemed to have spread to the point where everyone knew about it.Meng Haoming walked towards Li Min's room resentfully, and when he passed by the kitchen, he couldn't help but look there.

Crossed the threshold and entered the room where Li Min rested.

Li Min also just entered the door, took off the bamboo hat, and untied the fox fur on his shoulders.The cold air that passed through the waterway last night seemed to still be lingering around him.

Nian Xia came in with a brazier.Knowing that Li Min didn't like to inhale smoke, Nian Xia put the brazier in the corner of the room.Seeing this, Meng Haoming hurried to help start the fire.From this, Nian Xia whispered to him: "Meng Banner Master, I am afraid that there will not be enough coal."

"My lord asked Mr. Gongsun to make arrangements here. There should be grain reserves here. I'll ask the owner." Meng Haoming replied.

Nian Xia actually wanted to say that since Li Min became pregnant, she became very chilly.However, at this juncture, the sky is freezing cold, and it is extremely difficult for them to travel long distances to Beiyan in the coldest season of the year.

He took a pot of hot water and poured it into the copper basin, and took it to the table next to Li Min.

Li Min took the hot face towel she twisted, washed her face, and ironed her hands.

Nian Xia looked for the stove in the house.

After the fire was turned on, the doors and windows were closed, and Meng Haoming wiped his hands before he dared to walk in front of Li Min, because he had been told that Li Min had a cleanliness habit.

"Meng Banner, sit down." Li Min hurriedly told her little girl not to rush to find a heater, but to make two cups of hot tea to warm her stomach first. The inside of the body is warm, and naturally the outside will not be cold anymore.

Meng Haoming dared not disobey the order and sat down.

"After the second young master went out from the west gate, he encountered pursuers, and lost the map on his body. It is very likely that it fell into the hands of the enemy." Li Min said the message that the bird had just sent.

"As far as I know, the map in the hands of the youngest mistress is different from the one in the hands of the second young master." Meng Haoming said.

The maps that Gongsun Liangsheng provided to their fleeing units must not be exactly the same, because once they are lost and picked up by the enemy, the consequences will be disastrous, and the entire army will be wiped out.

For example, the map Zhu Li carried on his body was mainly the exit route of Ximen, and the escape routes of the other gates were not specifically marked in Zhu Li's map.The problem is now, even so, the emperor may have noticed that they escaped through the east gate.Because, on Zhu Li's map, there are signs in the east, west, north, and south directions, which shows that the escape route planned by Duke Protector includes four gates in east, west, north, south.

Fortunately, those who went out from the east gate and those who went out from the south gate all escaped last night.Since he escaped from the capital, even if the map falls into the hands of the enemy, the impact on them is that the emperor may have sent pursuers from all directions.And this, as early as they expected.After all, the emperor didn't find anyone, and he would do the same when he expected that they might have escaped from the capital.

"Fu Yan is by the Second Young Master's side now, so he should have brought Mr. Gongsun's kit, which can help the Second Young Master's army and horses find another escape route when the map is lost. But under such circumstances, the original plan , We can't go to the place where we want to meet the second young master. The emperor will definitely set up an ambush there." Li Min said.
