There was silence in the room. When fear and despair came over him, Uncle Zhou slowly regained his senses.

Now that His Highness is away and Zhufeng is dead, if he can't calm down, the situation in the capital will really be a mess!

There was no rush, Sheng Xiuran had said that she had given the secret letter to someone else, and once she died, the letter would be made public.

Now he wants to pay attention to the rumors in Beijing, and after all, there is no evidence for Sheng Xiuran!

If she had mentioned what he said in the rockery in her letter, then there would be no need to panic. Even if all the torture in the world were imposed, he would not betray His Highness even one cent!

Moreover, without evidence, once rumors spread, Emperor Yong would not sit still and wait for death.

With Emperor Yong's ability, there is absolutely no problem in catching those who spread the rumors. If the rumors don't go away, maybe Emperor Yong will kill to end the chaos!

Thinking more deeply, His Highness was criticized by "someone with intentions" in this way, which shows that the thief has sinister intentions. If he can take this opportunity to taint the prince and the Qiao family, wouldn't it be another wonderful opportunity?

If this can be accomplished, Your Highness will truly be invincible!

Yeah!

Don't lose sight of yourself. We haven't reached a desperate situation yet, and the outcome has not yet been determined!

After analyzing the pros and cons, Uncle Zhou finally calmed down completely.

He supported the bed, gritted his teeth and sat up with a breath of air. He felt that his right leg had completely lost all feeling. He beat it twice, feeling extremely sad and angry.

Qiao family... Qiao family...

The Qiao family is simply a lingering shadow in his life! Whether it was in the Northern Kingdom or living in the Yong Dynasty now!

"It's not over yet!"

Uncle Zhou stood up slowly with his left leg, supported a stool beside him, and moved to the table with difficulty.

There is paper and pen on the table.

He couldn't rest, he had to repair the book for His Highness as soon as possible, and he couldn't let His Highness fall into a passive situation!

Under the dim candlelight, Uncle Zhou's forehead was covered with sweat, the wound on his back also overflowed with blood, and his hands were shaking non-stop.

He struggled with this letter, altered it, and discarded it countless times.

Regarding Di Zaiying...he really didn't know how to speak to His Highness.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

"Master Zhou, my subordinate is back."

Uncle Zhou suddenly raised his head when he heard this, "Come in!"

The secret guard pushed open the door and saw Uncle Zhou standing up and sitting on the chair, his expression changed greatly.

Uncle Zhou had no time to pay attention and asked quickly: "What's going on? What's going on?"

The secret guard quickly shook his head, "Mr. Zhou, these are just clichés and there are no new rumors. I don't know what you... what you want to inquire about."

When Uncle Zhou heard this, his heart suddenly relaxed and he slowly came back to his senses.

Sheng Xiuran might have said that on purpose yesterday. After all, this way, he would not kill her easily.

However, he still can't take it lightly!

"Check! Keep checking! Any new rumors about His Highness must be reported to me as soon as possible!"

The secret guard immediately responded respectfully: "Yes!"

"Okay, you go out, I have something important to do."

Uncle Zhou waved his hand laboriously.

The secret guard wanted to persuade him, but when he saw Uncle Zhou's stern expression, he retreated obediently.

"Master Zhou, my subordinates are standing guard at the door. If you need anything, just call me."

Silence returned to the room again, and this time Uncle Zhou finally sorted out the myriad of threads in his mind.

Since the rumors have not yet started, this matter may have been completely buried with Sheng Xiuran's death.

In this case, there is no need to rush to mention this matter in the letter. It is really difficult to describe the matter in a few words. In case, it is better to wait for His Highness to come back... He will tell the truth after His Highness comes back!

Thinking of this, Uncle Zhou reluctantly wrote:

"Your Majesty -"

...

On the other side, Qiao's study room.

Qiao Tianjing was writing a letter to Qiao Zhongguo, and Qiao Jiaojiao was lying on the desk, helping to check for any gaps at any time.

After finishing writing all the important things, Qiao Tianjing looked up at Qiao Jiaojiao and asked with a smile: "Is there anything you want to say to daddy, little sister?"

Qiao Jiaojiao tilted her head and said with a smile: "Brother, help me fill it in. You said I miss my father and my second brother so much. I want five 'miss you'!"

Hearing this, Qiao Tianjing raised his hand and rubbed Qiao Jiaojiao's head, and said dotingly: "Okay~~"

[Hey, let dad and second brother know what it means that a letter from home is worth ten thousand yuan! 】

Qiao Jiaojiao held her chin up, imagining the expressions of her father and second brother when they received the letter, their eyes bent into little crescents.

That night, just before the curfew, two letters were sent from the capital at the same time and sent to the same destination...

————

The next day, the fourth prince came to the Qiao Mansion happily and said in a "show off" tone: "Sister Qiao, the prince brother will come to pick me up tonight!"

Qiao Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Look at how clever these two brothers are. Before the eldest brother even opens his mouth, the man comes to the door.

Qiao Jiaojiao waited until dinner time, finally waiting for the prince.

"Brother Prince!"

Qiao Jiaojiao was now shouting like Xiao Si. The prince was very helpful and picked up Qiao Jiaojiao very skillfully.

At this time, Qiao Tianjing came forward, his expression slightly solemn.

"Your Highness, I have something big to report one day."

The prince's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly carried Qiao Jiaojiao into the house. Upon seeing this, the fourth prince immediately followed.

Seeing that the prince was still standing, Qiao Jiaojiao hurriedly got off him.

[The melon is too big. I am afraid that the prince will be too shocked and throw me to the ground...]

Qiao Tianjing organized his conversation and mentioned the workhouse again before getting down to business.

"Your Highness, I rescued an old friend in the almshouse. As you know, Miss Sheng Xiuran of the Sheng family."

"Sheng Xiuran? She is actually in the almshouse?"

The prince was a little stunned.

He did not hide it from Qiao Tianjing and directly stated his original guess.

"Last year at the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet, it must have been my third brother who felt pity for her and sent her out of the palace."

This time it was Qiao Tianjing's turn to be surprised, "Third Prince?"

Qiao Jiaojiao's heart moved when she heard this.

[Wait a minute, the third prince is so weak in the palace, why would he take the risk to help Sheng Xiuran, who is neither a relative nor an acquaintance? 】

[According to the original trajectory, after the death of the prince, the third prince dared to stand up resolutely to support the prince's son, the emperor's grandson, to succeed the crown prince. This shows that he also has loyalty in his heart. 】

[Speaking of compassion, the third prince should also have it. After all, as a prince, he suffers from a serious disease, so it is inevitable that he will have more empathy. 】

[However, these are not enough to push the third prince to help Sheng Xiuran, right? After all, once discovered by the second prince, he will most likely be involved in the fight! 】

[Thinking about it this way, unless...unless Sheng Xiuran and the third prince made an exchange of conditions, such as...]

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, his expression changed secretly.

He knew what his little sister had left unfinished.

For example, Sheng Xiuran also revealed the secret of the second prince's life experience to the third prince!

When the prince saw that Qiao Tianjing suddenly stopped talking, he couldn't help asking: "Da Lang, what happened to Sheng Xiuran?"

Qiao Tianjing came back to his senses, collected his thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, after I rescued Sheng Xiuran, I found that her temperament had changed drastically, and she was even more protective of the almshouse."

"Then Sheng Xiuran exchanged terms with me, and then revealed a big secret to me!"

At this point, even though Qiao's mansion was very safe, Qiao Tianjing still approached the prince and whispered:

"Sheng Xiuran said that she heard what Uncle Zhou said with her own ears. His Highness is not the Holy One's biological father. His biological father is Di Zaiying, a spy from the Northern Kingdom who has been executed!"

"What!?"

The Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince both let out low voices. Qiao Jiaojiao raised her head, taking her time to admire the expressions of the two brothers.

Let alone the fourth prince, he was still young after all, and he was usually very happy, so the shock on his face was not hidden at this time.

Fourth Prince: ↷( ó╻ò)

After all, the prince was Bai Yueguang. He could barely maintain his elegance at the moment, but he was so shocked that his pupils could be described as trembling.

Prince: (◎_◎;)

"This...how is this possible!"

The prince was the first to react. He couldn't help but pace back and forth, showing that his mind was in a state of confusion.

"There are records of all the concubines and concubines in the palace. Every month, the imperial physician checks Ping An's pulse and calculates the date of pregnancy."

"If there is a mistake in this, it's impossible for my father not to notice it, and it's impossible for the imperial doctor to hide it and not report it."

"Da Lang, are you sure Sheng Xiuran...are you sure it's not nonsense?"

The prince actually knew in his heart that Sheng Xiuran could not joke about such a big matter.

However, the father was attached to Concubine Jade, favored his second brother for so many years, and suppressed him and his mother a lot. As a result, the second brother was not a member of the royal family at all. How ironic and ridiculous this is!

At this moment, the first thing that surged in his heart was not excitement or ecstasy, but uncontrollable sadness and endless distress for his mother!

"Dalang, can Sheng Xiuran provide evidence?"

The prince's voice was slightly hoarse and he asked in a trembling voice.

Qiao Tianjing shook his head, "Your Highness, Sheng Xiuran just heard what Uncle Zhou said. The rest needs to be verified by ourselves."

"You also know that if this kind of thing is done accidentally, I'm afraid it will be widely implicated..."

"If even Uncle Zhou misunderstands, the second prince is really the Holy Emperor's flesh and blood. Just a crime of spreading rumors will make the second prince seize the opportunity to bite back. By then, I am afraid that both His Highness and my Qiao family will be in danger!"

The prince took a deep breath. After all, his character had been tempered many times, and he slowly calmed down at this moment.

"What Dalang said makes sense, but how can we prove the blood relationship?"

Qiao Tianjing's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and according to the statement he had discussed with Qiao Jiaojiao yesterday, he spoke with some guilt:

"Your Highness, I heard that there is a method among the people to test the relationship by calling a drop of blood. Maybe you can give it a try."

The prince's brows furrowed slightly, "I have heard of this blood test for parentage, but... can it be done accurately?"

Qiao Tianjing shook his head, "Your Highness, I don't know this, but if you don't give it a try, how can you be willing to accept it?"

"Actually, His Highness should also know in his heart that this matter of asking for a test is to let us know in our minds. How this matter will end depends on the attitude of the Holy One."

Qiao Tianjing has said this sentence in depth enough, so there is nothing more to say.

The prince's eyes flashed when he heard this.

Yes, there was no sign before, so he naturally didn't expect that there would be doubts about his second brother's life experience.

Now that Sheng Xiuran has taken the lead, the most important thing is to seize the time to find out the omissions made in the past and then find out what the father is thinking!

As for the blood test, if things go wrong at that time, the dead horse will be treated as a living horse doctor. Whether it is the father or the second brother, it is possible that this method will be proposed.

If he and Dalang could try it in advance, they would know exactly what to do and come up with countermeasures in time!

Whether it is to keep his position as crown prince, or to maintain Dayong's orthodoxy and draw a clear line with the Northern Kingdom, there is absolutely no way that the throne will fall to the second brother!

Thinking of this, the prince's eyes darkened.

The deep palace is filled with treacherous waves, true and false, and he cannot escape from the secular world like a pure lotus without being stained by the slightest bit of mud.

Second brother, second brother, when the time comes, what is false will be false, and what is true... will also become false!

"Then try it!"

The prince made the final decision.

"I heard that the blood test requires a drop of blood from the person being tested, but is this true?"

Qiao Tianjing nodded.

The prince's reaction was also very quick. After all, Qiao Zhongguo's trip to the south was not hidden from the prince at all, and he even told the prince that the second prince would use a bitter trick.

"Second brother's blood, I'm sure Mr. Qiao will find a way, right?"

Qiao Tianjing continued to nod.

After pondering for a long time, the prince said bluntly: "I and my second brother have the same father and mother. Can it be achieved with my blood?"

Qiao Jiaojiao:? ? ?

[Hey, I suddenly got a new idea! 】

[Half brothers are also related by blood. Let me see if the talisman can be used...]

Qiao Jiaojiao quickly called out the Merit Mall and read the instructions carefully.

[The paternity identification talisman is a must-have for palace and house fights. Drop the blood of two people on the talisman. If the two are related, the talisman will burn spontaneously. If they are not related, the talisman will turn black. 】

【sure! The prince's blood can also be used! 】

"However, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, let me use my blood as a backup. I will find a way to use my father's blood."

The prince suddenly added in a deep voice.

Qiao Jiaojiao:? ? ?

[Prince, are you so fierce? What you said makes me feel that Emperor Yong's blood is as easy to pick as the flowers on the roadside! 】

Qiao Tianjing could understand the prince's thoughts very well.

This opportunity is so rare that His Highness the Crown Prince must not want to make any mistakes.

And when the time comes, the Holy Emperor and the second prince may also use the method of blood recognition. The prince wants to be prepared in advance...

Qiao Tianjing also felt a lot more relaxed when his assistant prince was so able to handle things.

The overall situation of this battle seems to be a fight with the second prince, but in fact it is a fight with the Holy Lord. According to the words of the little sister, it is still a fight with the halo of the protagonist and a fight with the sky!

The prince quickly returned to the palace with the fourth prince, and dinner was served at the Queen's Yikun Palace.

However, both the prince and the fourth prince ate this meal absentmindedly.

The queen naturally knew her two sons very well. After dinner, she dismissed all the palace guests and asked her confidants to guard outside the palace. Then she spoke warmly:

"Zhan'er, Xiaosi, what happened in Qiao Mansion today?"

The two brothers looked at each other after hearing this. The prince felt depressed, and the fourth prince even threw himself into the empress's arms.

When the Queen saw this, she couldn't help but become frightened.

"What's wrong? Zhan'er, tell me quickly."

The prince let out a long sigh, suddenly stood up and sat next to the queen, and spoke in a low voice.

"Varied--"

The confidant was guarding the door with a vigilant look on his face, and suddenly heard the Queen's half-whisper coming from the palace, and then completely covered it up.

She looked back with some surprise.

As the empress's closest confidant, she has never heard her lose her temper like this for a long, long time...

In the main hall of Yikun Palace, the Queen couldn't help crying.

"A crime, this is a crime!"

The tears were not shed for Emperor Yong, but for herself.

Everything that happened back then is still vivid in my mind.

He pampered Concubine Jade to the heavens. Concubine Jade would not bow down or kneel down when he saw her. His all-round honor and favor towards Concubine Jade actually crushed her face as a queen into the dust.

The palace was accustomed to favoring the superior and suppressing the inferior. In those years, even she, the Queen, was completely outshined by the popularity of Concubine Jade.

Xiaosi...the birth of Xiaosi...

Thinking of this, the queen almost felt sick!

Concubine Yu had been dead for so many years, so he could forget about it, so he got drunk on Concubine Yu's death anniversary, and then came to her Yikun Palace to be drunk.

This king of a country completely lost his dignity and dragged her to the bed, calling her Yu Liu over and over again...

Thinking of this, the tears on the Queen's face became more and more fierce.

If Zhan'er hadn't been so happy when she found out she was pregnant, shouting for a younger brother and sister all day long, she would have tried every means to abort the baby!

It took her a long time to figure it out.

She couldn't stay with Zhan'er forever, and this baby was also her own flesh and blood.

After waiting for her for a hundred years, in this deep palace of ice and cold, at least Zhan'er still has a biological brother who can accompany him to the end.

Xiaosi is a well-behaved child. He rarely cries since he was born, and he is very close to her in every possible way.

Gradually, she hid the scar, which made Xiao Si heartbroken.

That cruel man probably knew that Xiao Si came here in a disgraceful way and that he was drunk and confused, so he never gave Xiao Si a good look.

Now...haha, he actually loves other people's children!

The Queen couldn't help but show a very sarcastic expression.

At this moment, she felt vindictively that Concubine Yu had done something good!

Because once this matter is exposed, it will disgust that man to death!

"It's ridiculous, it's so ridiculous! I can't wait to see what his expression will be like when he finds out about this!"

The prince and the fourth prince had completely separated from Emperor Yong. Now seeing the empress crying and laughing at the same time, the brothers felt heartbroken and their resentment against Emperor Yong became even deeper.

Not wanting to worry her two children, the Queen got up and cleaned her face. When she came back, she was back to her elegant and calm appearance.

"Zhan'er, did you just say that you want to use a drop of blood to test your relationship?"

The prince nodded and said warmly:

"Queen Mother, it is actually okay to use the blood of your children, but -"

The Queen nodded before she finished listening.

"Zhan'er, you are right, this matter must be foolproof!"

The Queen looked thoughtful, and the next moment she said in a serious voice: "Zhan'er, this blood mother will think of a solution later!"

The prince was slightly startled, "Mother, you..."

The queen seemed to know what was going on, and raised her hand to gently pat the prince's shoulder.

"Zhan'er, the queen mother can't help you much, but after dealing with your father for so many years, the queen mother has her own way."

"However, it will still be some time before your second brother can return to the capital, but it is not advisable to take this blood too early."

"Zhan'er, all you need to do is keep calm, and the Queen Mother will do the rest for you!"

Being a mother means being strong, and the Queen is now fully established!

After the prince left Yikun Palace, he did not go back to the East Palace directly. Instead, he strolled to Chunhua Garden.

He stood at the fork in the road again and recalled what the old slave said that day:

"From here, whether you go to Yikun Palace, Xingrong Palace or Xinghua Palace, it will be closer."

That day he had some doubts.

He knew that the third brother was kind-hearted, but helping Sheng Xiuran leave the palace was a bit risky. After all, Sheng Xiuran was now the concubine of the second brother.

Unexpectedly, the third brother still took action.

After that, he visited his third brother several times, and his third brother always looked at him but hesitated to speak.

He saw it and guessed that the third brother had something to hide, but he didn't want to force the third brother, so he didn't ask.

Now that I think about it, Sheng Xiuran must have exchanged the secrets of his second brother's life experience with his third brother, and then he got the chance to leave the palace.

The third brother wanted to confess to him, but he was worried that getting involved in the crown prince dispute would implicate Concubine Jing and his second sister...

The prince can relate to the third prince's embarrassment.

After all, before this, he had handled everything so carefully and tried his best to protect the queen and the fourth prince.

Thinking of this, the prince sighed softly.

Now that the storm is coming, the third brother may not be able to stay out of it.

Maybe it's time for their brothers to join forces!

————

Five days later, letters from home in Beijing rushed to catch up with the marriage convoy.

At this point, Qiao Zhongguo has been escorting Meng Guxue for twenty-two days, and the team is about to leave the southern border of Yong Dynasty.

The letter from the Qiao family was sent by Dala La. After all, his wife and daughter were all in the capital, so it was only human nature to report that they were safe.

"My lord! My lord! Letter from home!"

Qiao Liu, the secret guard of the Qiao family, put on simple clothes and had a smile on his face. He looked naive, just like an ordinary messenger.

When Qiao Zhongguo heard the sound, he turned around and saw Qiao Liu's face, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Qiao Diyi was so happy that he hurriedly turned his horse's head to meet him.

For more than half a month, as long as he was on the road, Qiao Diyi would ride his horse next to Meng Guxue's wedding car, never leaving, and he would tan a lot before his eyes.

"Here! Here!"

He smiled at Qiao Liu, showing his big white teeth!

"Second Young Master!"

Qiao Liu was very happy to see Qiao Diyi and wanted to give him a bear hug.

After all, the second young master hangs out with them every day. We all play and joke together all day long. The second young master is everyone's happy fruit!

Qiao Zhongguo was calm after all. He looked at the sky, then turned to Baili Chengyou who was not far away and said:

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it to the next stop today. Why don't you rest on the spot tonight and make a fire to cook?"

Baili Chengyou knew this well and smiled heartily when he heard this.

"That's fine, Mr. Qiao, go on your own. I guess you can't wait to read the letters from home."

Since these days, Qiao Zhongguo and Baili Chengyou have been getting along very happily.

One of them is a reckless man and the other is a refreshing prince. They talk about everything without any conflicts and the atmosphere is very harmonious.

However, the second prince spent most of the time sitting in the carriage and had less contact with them.

Hearing this, Qiao Zhongguo smiled and cupped his hands at Baili Chengyou, "It made His Highness laugh."

Even as he said this, Qiao Zhongguo had already run out with his horse and man.

Baili Chengyou looked at Qiao Zhongguo's back, feeling secretly regretful in his heart.

No wonder Shen Yuanbai wanted to deal with the Qiao family no matter what, and would not stop until the entire Qiao family was destroyed.

After all, with such a capable person, if he had helped the prince, Shen Yuanbai might not be able to sit on the throne of Yong Kingdom so smoothly!

Just at this moment, another fast horse galloped over, shouting: "Your Highness! Your Highness, a letter from Beijing!"

Chapter 244 Look at that worthless look!

When Qiao Liu heard this, he immediately turned around and saw that the person delivering the message to the second prince was wearing the clothes of an escort agency, and he suddenly had a look of realization on his face.

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo and Qiao Diyi had both arrived in front of him, and Qiao Liu hurriedly spoke in a low voice:

"General, Master, we have to avoid some people."

The secret guards of the Qiao family used to call Qiao Zhongguo "general" in private.

Qiao Zhongguo understood this and rode his horse first, leading Qiao Diyi and Qiao Liu to a small slope not far away.

Here you can see the motorcade at a glance, but it is not easy for people to spy on you.

Qiao Liu hurriedly dismounted, took out the letter he had placed in his arms, and said:

"No wonder the eldest young master couldn't intercept the second prince's letter all the way, but it turns out that they left under the name of an escort agency. I'm afraid they changed a lot of outfits on the way."

When Qiao Zhongguo heard this, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said keenly: "The boss wants to block the second prince's letter? Did something happen in the capital?"

Qiao Liu handed the letter to Qiao Zhongguo and said respectfully: "General, a lot of things have happened in Beijing in the past half month, and the young master has written them all in the letter for you."

"The eldest young master also specifically asked that the contents of the letter be overwhelming, so the general must avoid being read by others, and must not show an overly shocked expression."

"Of course, the second part of this sentence is specially given to the second young master. The eldest young master said that the second young master is shallow-minded and is always moody and angry, so he asked the general to read the letter first and then show it to the second young master."

Having said this, Qiao Liu couldn't help but smile.

Qiao Diyi: "..."

"Okay, okay, that's how big brother arranged for me when I was away, right? I want to watch! I miss my mother and little sister!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

Qiao Zhongguo patted Qiao Diyi's extended hand with a look of disgust on his face.

"Second brother, don't say I'm partial, just tell me what your elder brother said is wrong!"

Qiao Diyi: "..."

Damn it, there is no way to refute it!

"Hmph, then I'll go to the Wangfeng Head Office for Dad!"

Qiao Di turned around and looked in the direction of the motorcade with a loyal voice, but his eyes were clear and sharp.

He saw the person from the escort office respectfully delivering the letter to the carriage. The second prince stretched out his hand and took the letter. The escort whispered something outside the carriage.

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo turned his back and unfolded the letter.

He was quite relaxed at first, but when he saw Qiao Tianjing mentioning the young dead soldiers, he speculated that the Northerners selected and used babies in the Yong Dynasty and secretly trained them to become Northern dead soldiers. Suddenly his face turned pale with anger, and his heart was filled with confusion. Shocked and angry!

Just thinking about so many good young talents of the Yong Dynasty being exploited, Qiao Zhongguo felt like a knife piercing his heart!

It is especially difficult to train dead soldiers. Over the past ten years, countless children have died in infancy or died in training and missions!

inhuman! It's simply inhumane!

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo's eyebrows furrowed, and murderous intent surged in his chest.

He took a long breath and continued to read the content below.

When he saw the frightening night in the almshouse and learned that Jiaojiao and Qiao Bo were in danger, his heart almost jumped out of his throat!

Jiaojiao is so courageous!

She was worried about the safety of those children, had she completely forgotten that she was still a child herself?

When he saw that the danger was saved that night, all the children were safe and sound, and Zhufeng died, Qiao Zhongguo's high-hanging heart fell to the ground.

Then, he saw the three words "Sheng Xiuran", followed closely by the big secret that shocked Qiao Zhongguo!

"Wha—cough cough cough!"

Qiao Zhongguo, who was as steady and self-possessed as he was, couldn't help but make a strange noise. Fortunately, he was so clear-headed that he hurriedly covered it up with a cough.

Now he finally understood why the boss didn't let the second child see it first.

According to the temperament of the second child, if he learns this secret, he will probably roar so loud that the other side of the hillside can hear it!

"father?"

Qiao Diyi turned around in shock.

It's over, he is really curious to death, and his heart is not being scratched by a kitten, but by a tiger!

Qiao Zhongguo had no intention of responding to Qiao Diyi. He read every sentence carefully. When he learned about Qiao Tianjing and Qiao Jiaojiao's plan, he thought about it in his heart and nodded secretly.

At the end of the movie, I saw a childish sentence:

"At the end of the letter, I was asked by my little sister to send a message to my father and second brother on my behalf. My little sister said, I miss my father and second brother very, very, very, very much."

Qiao Zhongguo's heart was still full of ups and downs just now. When he saw this, his face was full of tenderness and his heart completely melted.

Jiaojiao, Daddy misses you too——

Since Jiaojiao was born, he has never left her side for a day. Now that he is traveling far away, he even has to carve fewer wood carvings.

A child changes so quickly. When he comes around, Jiaojiao will have grown up a lot, right?

Qiao Zhongguo thought about it quietly for a while, then continued to scroll down.

Gone.

Qiao Zhongguo's eyes widened.

Gone?

Where's the lady? Madam didn't say a word to him? ? ?

Qiao Liu had been looking at Qiao Zhongguo. When he saw that he had finished reading, he hurriedly took out another letter from his arms.

"General, this is what Madam wrote to you. Ahem, it's only for you to read."

There was a hint of narrow-mindedness on Qiao Liu's face.

The general treats them as brothers, and the younger ones as nephews, so they are more casual.

Everyone knows that the general and his wife are deeply in love as a couple.

Qiao Zhongguo's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this, and he quickly took the letter with quick eyes and hands.

That's pretty much it!

He knew that Madam was thinking of him too, so no, he wanted to watch it alone at night!

Qiao Zhongguo thought like this, put the letter into his arms with great care, and patted it gently.

When Qiao Diyi saw this scene, he secretly cursed in his heart: Look at how worthless my father looks!

Well, it's a pity that the second young lady of the Xiao family can't write to him. It's been a long time since I last saw her...

"Ahem, Second Young Master, this is a letter from Duke Dingguo to you, you—"

call out--

Qiao Liu:? ? ?

Did something go by just now?

Qiao Diyi opened the letter three times, and it contained Duke Ding's earnest instructions, asking him to be more careful on the road and not to forget to review in his mind what he had learned these days.

Qiao Diyi felt deep in his heart that his master treated him like his own son, and he felt extremely grateful.

At the end of the movie, the powerful font suddenly turned into a heroic and soft regular script, with just one sentence:

"Xiao Er also wishes to greet Erlang of the Qiao family."

Qiao Diyi's heart trembled suddenly, his face suddenly turned red, and the next moment his whole chest began to pound.

"Dick!"

Qiao Zhongguo suddenly patted Qiao Diyi on the shoulder from behind, and his eyes happened to catch a very different sentence in the letter.

The corner of Qiao Zhongguo's mouth raised slightly, feeling pleased and amused at the same time, "Second brother, look at your worthless look!"

Hehe, my second daughter-in-law is also settled!

He allowed Qiao Diyi's son and daughter's love to grow for a while. Seeing that he carefully refolded the letter and put it back in his arms, he handed over the letter written by Qiao Tianjing.

"Second brother, take a look, it's really something big."

Qiao Diyi's expression immediately became serious upon hearing this, but Qiao Zhongguo covered Qiao Diyi's mouth from behind.

In Qiao Diyi's confused eyes, Qiao Zhongguo said seriously: "I'm afraid you'll scream!"

After reading the letter, Qiao Diyi was shocked and speechless for a long time.

If his father hadn't been covering his mouth, he would have let out a high-pitched roar.

Mother...mother, this sage's head is so green!

"Dad, do you think the Holy One knows about this?"

Qiao Zhongguo: "..."

"I'm just asking you, which man can endure this kind of thing?"

If the second prince is really Di Zaiying's son, no matter how obsessed the emperor is with Princess Yuliu, he will never be so kind to the second prince, let alone give him the throne in the end!

Qiao Zhongguo boasted that he still understood Emperor Yong somewhat.

The Holy Emperor is indeed confused about Princess Yuliu, but he has the Yong Dynasty and the world in his heart.

If the second prince is of pure Northern blood and the Holy Emperor gives away the throne in the end, that would be treason and treason, and he would be the eternal sinner of the Yong Dynasty and the Shen family!

In this way, there are only two possibilities. One is that the second prince is indeed the blood of the Holy Emperor, and the other is... the Holy Emperor was kept in the dark until his death!

Qiao Diyi's head also turned around, and even he was extremely curious now.

But soon he looked confused again, scratched his head and said:

"But dad, my little sister asked us to take his blood. If he resorts to the bitter flesh trick, the blood can be obtained, but when it is sent home, will the blood be spoiled?"

"Little sister, can that talisman still work?"

Qiao Diyi hit the nail on the head now.

He usually gets injured, and the blood rubs on his clothes, but it turns black after a while.

Qiao Zhongguo had been thinking about when the second prince might take action, and he couldn't help but be slightly startled when he heard this.

"Yes, even if we rush back quickly to get the blood, it will still take four or five days..."

At this moment, another voice came from afar: "My lord! My lord!"

Qiao Zhongguo thought the voice was very familiar. He turned around and saw Qiao Shiyi galloping up the hillside.

"Eleven? Why are you here too?"

Qiao Liu looked confused. Now that Qiao Eleven is here, why don't we just start with him?

Qiao Shiyi chuckled, "I'm taking orders at the last moment of danger!"

He walked up to Qiao Zhongguo, bowed respectfully, and then took out a letter from his arms.

"General, when I remembered the urgent message from the eldest young master, Ah Liu had already left, so he asked his subordinates to hurry up and deliver it."

Qiao Zhongguo's heart tightened, fearing that something would go wrong again, so he hurriedly took the letter and turned around to check it.

After reading the letter, he smiled.

"She has to be Jiaojiao."

Seeing this, Qiao Diyi curiously put his head over, looked at it carefully, and also laughed.

The problem that I was worried about just now was solved right away!

The second letter contained a talisman with the sign "Unchangeable", which was guaranteed for fifteen days, enough for them to send the second prince's blood all the way back!

Now, everything is ready...

"Dad, just now Jingzhong also sent a letter to the Second Highness. I think he already knows the news of Zhufeng's death. This way, we and the Second Highness will have a full showdown."

"Uncle Zhou's life or death is uncertain. If he is still alive, the letter must have been written by him. Do you think he will tell the second prince about his life experience?"

"Or... the second prince already knows his life experience?"

Qiao Zhongguo looked slightly condensed and shook his head.

If Zhou Bo was sincere to the second prince, the mystery of his life experience would not be a glorious thing, not to mention that Di Zaiying was dead and Zhou Bo would not have the heart to tell him.

If this secret had not been exposed, Uncle Zhou would never let the second prince know, let alone write it in a letter.

"Second son, I have been more vigilant recently. The news in the capital is likely to irritate the second prince. If he wants to return to the capital as soon as possible, he may take action in advance!"

Qiao Diyi looked serious and nodded heavily.

At this time, the sun had set, and everyone got off their horses. People were lighting fires, and people were cooking. The sounds of talking and laughing could be heard, and there was a strong smell of fireworks.

Shen Yuanbai was sitting alone in the carriage. The curtains covered the carriage tightly, blocking out almost all the light.

Shen Yuanbai just sat there with his head hanging, his arms resting on his knees, and letters scattered on the floor at his feet.

The secret guard Guiyue didn't hear any movement in the carriage for a long time, so he hesitated and stepped forward to gently knock on the carriage frame.

"Your Highness, do you want to come down and rest for a while?"

Shen Yuanbai's whole body trembled suddenly, as if he was frightened.

"No, no one needs to come looking for me."

A low voice came from inside the carriage and rang in Guiyue's ears, making him extremely surprised.

This...why is this voice so hoarse? Your Highness, what is...what's wrong?

After all, he didn't dare to pry too much, so he hurriedly and respectfully agreed and walked away.

Shen Yuanbai leaned down slightly and picked up the letters one by one with trembling hands.

In the extremely dark car, he could still vaguely read the words on it:

"Zhu Feng escaped in exchange for an old slave. He was trapped in the almshouse by Qiao Tianjing. He fought hard and lost. In order not to leave any flaws, he burned himself in the fire. His body was unknown."

Shen Yuanbai slowly tightened his hands, then tightened them again, until veins popped out on the back of his hands, and the letter paper was crumpled into a ball.

Chasing the wind...

You have been with me for four years and are the...only brother in my heart.

I have long been prepared that this road will be paved with thousands of bones and stained with blood, but I never thought that you would be among them.

You were supposed to be with me till the end...

Shen Yuanbai's thoughts reached this point and he buried his face between the letters. His mouth and tongue were dry, and his heart ached!

Another person beside him left.

This road is really difficult to walk...

The laughter coming from outside the car made him raise his head in a daze.

The next moment, he seemed to have lost all strength. He slowly leaned against the car wall and closed his eyes with a pale face.

Take a break, he'll take a break...

Once everything is settled here, he will go back and set up a tomb for Zhufeng——

Shen Yuanbai suddenly raised his hands to cover his eyes, his palms slightly moist.

He had to quicken his pace. He couldn't let Zhufeng wander for too long, otherwise he would not be able to find his way home.

And... there is also Asheng's mother. Before setting off, I heard that she was sick again. Maybe he should go and see for Asheng in person.

There is also Uncle Zhou. Although he didn't say much in the letter, he must have suffered a lot when he escaped.

Anyone else?

There is also Liuyun, Liuyun is also extremely loyal to him.

Then, there was no more...

crackling——

The sound of burning firewood came, causing Shen Yuanbai to tremble slightly.

He thought of Zhufeng in the fire, and wondered how...he must be in pain.

His body tilted and he slowly lay down.

This was the last time he indulged himself in weakness, and he didn't want to think about anything else tonight.

In two days, the chance is almost gone.

Qiao Tianjing killed Zhufeng, and when the time comes, neither Qiao Zhongguo nor Qiao Diyi will have an easy time!

Chapter 246 He must be going crazy!

The crisis in Beijing was temporarily relieved. Qiao Tianjing specifically asked Qiao Liu and Qiao Eleven to stay directly to help Qiao Zhongguo.

When you go out, you don't have to pay so much attention.

If you are thoughtful, you can set up a pot and cook something to eat. If you want to be more convenient, you can eat dry food to satisfy your stomach.

However, the second prince, Princess Nanning, and the third prince of Nanli Kingdom all have high status, so naturally they have to be treated with caution.

Meng Guxue looked at the exquisite hot meals delivered to the carriage, but she had no appetite at all.

Just now, the Qiao family and the second prince received letters from the capital, and the Qiao family even received two letters!

Look at this, could something have happened in Beijing?

Meng Guxue was anxious for a while, then she whispered to Xiao Tao: "Xiao Tao, go and invite Mr. Qiao to come over, and tell me that I have something important to do."

Xiaotao nodded quickly, slipped out of the carriage quickly, and found the location of Qiao's house.

"Master Qiao, my little... my princess has invited me."

Qiao Zhongguo was eating a big cake with water. When he heard this, he nodded his head and said, "Okay."

Xiaotao led Qiao Zhongguo to the wedding car in a hurry. Baili Chengyou saw this scene from a distance and snorted lightly:

"She trusts Qiao Zhongguo very much. She will call someone over at the slightest sign of trouble."

A'Tu frowned worriedly, "Your Highness, we are about to leave the territory of Yong Kingdom."

The Yong Kingdom and the Nanli Kingdom also fought a war. Later, the two sides couldn't stand each other, and finally each took a step back, leaving a two-way zone between the two countries as a buffer.

Over the years, the two-pronged area has been nicknamed Papi Ridge.

Because bandits are rampant here, merchants who come and go without hiring strong thugs or escorts will always be skinned by those bandits.

Business people doing business between the two countries are miserable, but neither the Nanli Kingdom nor the Yong Dynasty can easily send people to set foot in this buffer zone.

Because of this, those bandits were allowed to grow bigger and stronger and become famous!

It is said that there are three hills on Papi Ridge, named Liu, Lu and Qi respectively. Among them, the surname Lu is the most powerful, followed by the surname Qi and the surname Liu is slightly weaker.

If Shen Yuanbai wants to play tricks, the forces in Papi Ridge are complex and it is best to fish in troubled waters, so he has to be on guard!

Baili Chengyou also straightened up after hearing this, "This palace has already sent an order to Aja. According to the plan, they should join us tomorrow."

Aja is another right-hand man of Baili Chengyou who stayed in Nanli Kingdom.

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo had already walked to the wedding car.

"I see Princess Nanning."

In order to avoid suspicion, Meng Guxue never got out of the car or opened the car curtain. She leaned against the car wall and whispered:

"Master Qiao, there is no need to be polite."

Xiaotao was smart and immediately asked the guards and maids who were standing around to move away.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Zhongguo asked, "I wonder why the princess summoned me?"

Meng Guxue had a worried look on her face, "Mr. Qiao, I didn't mean to inquire about your privacy. If it's convenient, could you tell me that there are a lot of letters coming from the capital, but what happened?"

Compared to the initial rampage and arrogance of being the only one in the world, Meng Guxue has really restrained himself a lot now.

Even Meng Guxue herself couldn't tell whether she had changed or was slowly assimilated by this era.

She had suppressed her former arrogance, and now she was cautious and just wanted to save her life.

When Qiao Zhongguo heard Meng Guxue's question, he thought about it for a moment and said bluntly without hiding anything:

"Princess, something big happened in the capital. Zhufeng planned to assassinate Da Lang, but Da Lang countered it. In the end, he burned himself to death."

"What!?"

Meng Guxue's voice suddenly rose, but in an instant she was covering it up again.

After a long while, she spoke again, her voice low, "Is Zhufeng dead?"

Qiao Zhongguo nodded, "Yes."

"It's over! It's over, it's over!" Meng Guxue shook her head repeatedly.

Qiao Zhongguo frowned when he heard this, "Why did the princess say this?"

Meng Guxue knew that she could only rely on Qiao Zhongguo now, so she did not dare to hide anything and said directly:

"Master Qiao, you don't know that Zhufeng is really important to the second prince! You can even say he is the most important person!"

In the dream, she was the person that the second prince valued and cherished the most, and the second most important person was Zhufeng!

Now that she is nothing in the eyes of the second prince, Zhufeng will naturally become the first choice.

"Master Qiao, you believe me, really!"

"That Uncle Zhou! Uncle Zhou, do you know? Uncle Zhou brought the second prince from childhood to adulthood, but in the heart of the second prince, even he can't compare to Zhu Feng!"

"Because although Uncle Zhou is sincere towards the second prince, his heart is for the Northern Kingdom. He has selfish motives. He hopes that the second prince will rule the world, but he also hopes that the second prince will rule the northern kingdom."

"Zhu Feng is different. Zhu Feng has no distracting thoughts or selfish desires. He is completely and wholeheartedly devoted to the second prince. Even if he is asked to die for the second prince, he will not hesitate at all!"

"People's hearts change people's hearts, so in the heart of the second prince, Zhufeng really has a very important weight!"

"Now that Zhufeng has been killed by the Qiao family's eldest son, he will definitely go crazy! He will definitely take action!"

Meng Guxue sputtered a lot, not caring whether Qiao Zhongguo would doubt why she knew the people around the second prince so well.

Qiao Zhongguo's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He had repeatedly overestimated Zhufeng's position in the second prince's heart, but he never expected that such a cold-hearted person could have such an affectionate side.

It seemed like he had to re-evaluate the situation.

"Princess, we will enter the no-no zone about tomorrow afternoon."

"What is a no-no zone?" Meng Guxue raised her head worriedly.

Qiao Zhongguo explained in a low voice and continued: "Put yourself in my shoes, if I wanted to take action, I would choose Papi Ridge and do it at night."

When Meng Guxue heard the word "peeling", she couldn't help but get excited!

"That...that..."

Qiao Zhongguo's expression was calm and his voice was steady, "Don't panic, princess. Since I promised to protect you, I will naturally fulfill my promise."

Qiao Zhongguo guessed that among the secrets Meng Guxue knew, there might be the mystery of the second prince's life experience.

The Qiao family and the prince already had a proper plan to deal with this matter. What he wanted to know now was the matter of the young man who died.

Since Meng Guxue was so close to the second prince in the dream, would she know the details of the dead soldiers and where they were hiding?

As long as there is this possibility, it is enough for Qiao Zhongguo to gamble!

He will never allow the thieves of the Northern Kingdom to continue to torture and abuse the children of the Yong Dynasty in their Yong Dynasty land!

"Princess, starting from tonight, you will eat solid food with our Qiao family."

Meng Guxue was slightly startled when she heard this, then looked at the food not far away and her expression changed drastically.

"Master Qiao, you...you mean, the food is poisonous?"

Qiao Zhongguo shook his head.

"It's just a matter of careful sailing."

"Our Qiao family ate all the dry food we brought with us along the way, and we also personally provided supplies on the way. We just didn't want to leave any chance for thieves."

Meng Guxue was shocked and frightened when she heard this, and nodded quickly: "Okay, I listen to Master Qiao! Let alone eating dry food, just give me a few sips of water!"

Seeing Meng Guxue's cooperation, Qiao Zhongguo also nodded secretly.

"Princess, you don't have to be so arrogant. Just recharge your batteries and have your ministers with you for everything."

Meng Guxue saluted Qiao Zhongguo sincerely through the car curtain.

"Thank you, Mr. Qiao. If I get to Nanli safely, I will definitely repay you for this great kindness!"

Having finished speaking, Qiao Zhongguo turned and left.

As night falls, the surroundings are dark, and only the firewood pile here is still lit.

Qiao Zhongguo looked around, and his eyes suddenly settled on an elegant carriage.

The second prince never showed up tonight.

According to Meng Guxue, the second prince must have been in agony and grief, unable to extricate himself.

This was the pain that the second prince wanted to inflict on him.

If it weren't for the eldest brother's intelligence, astuteness, delicate body and extraordinary abilities, he would be the one who would have to hear the bad news today!

Obviously, there is only one outcome between the Qiao family and the second prince, either you die or I die!

Thinking of this, Qiao Zhongguo's eyes were cold and full of determination!

He looked at the way he came from, and thought to himself: "The letter has been sent, I hope everything comes in time..."

Around noon on the second day, just as Qiao Zhongguo expected, the marriage team officially stepped out of the Yong Kingdom, and the atmosphere in the team became visibly solemn.

Obviously, everyone has long heard about the bad reputation of Papi Ridge, and the dowry given to the bride this time is countless and its value is inestimable.

The wages of avarice is death.

Even if the team is composed of elites from Yong and Nanli, there is no guarantee that the bandits from Papi Ridge will not be blinded by money and attack them!

As the saying goes, "A strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake." The terrain of Papi Ridge is complex, with mountains, ridges, and valleys. Most of the bandits are desperadoes. If they are attacked by a sneak attack, they will be hard to guard against!

Qiao Zhongguo and Baili Chengyou were still riding horses side by side. At this time, Baili Chengyou's expression was more solemn than ever.

Qiao Zhongguo saw the clues and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, you seem quite worried?"

Baili Chengyou knew that he and Qiao Zhongguo were on a united front this time, so he said directly without any concealment:

"Lord Qiao, I have already sent a message to my subordinate Aja, asking him to lead 300 people to greet him. Logically speaking, he should have arrived at this time."

"But the scouts just came to report that there was no trace of A'le for thirty miles ahead."

Qiao Zhongguo's expression changed slightly when he heard this. The second prince should not be able to intervene in Nanli's affairs. Is this even God paving the way for the second prince?

"Your Highness, we may find out tonight."

Qiao Zhongguo said in an extremely cryptic manner.

Baili Chengyou nodded lightly. There was no response from his subordinates. He assessed the situation and did not dare to overdo it.

The next moment, he turned to look at Qiao Zhongguo and said seriously:

"Lord Qiao, if you can help protect our third imperial concubine this time, I will be deeply grateful!"

Qiao Zhongguo's eyes darkened, "This is also my duty."

That night, darkness fell, and it was really hard to continue on the road.

Qiao Zhongguo found a relatively open area and ordered to rest.

After lighting the fire, everyone unanimously chose to eat dry food and talked less.

In the wedding car, Xiao Tao was close to Meng Guxue, and the two were still comforting each other.

This time, the Qiao family specially sat very close to the wedding car, and were talking in a low voice, when suddenly a cry of surprise sounded, tugging everyone's nerves!

"Look, who is that!?"

With a crash, everyone stood up warily and looked in the direction the man pointed.

Meng Guxue also heard the sound, and her heart skipped a beat. Sure enough, something was wrong!

She boldly opened the corner of the car curtain and looked out. Where the evening breeze came from, she saw a graceful woman dancing gracefully. There seemed to be dust and mist rolling around her, making her look fairy-like.

"who!"

Atu, who was beside Baili Chengyou, mobilized his inner strength and shouted sternly.

At the same time, everyone holds weapons and prepares to fight!

Unexpectedly, the woman just danced and didn't respond at all.

Nowadays, the strange scene has caused people's hearts to wander. After all, there are countless innocent souls in Papi Ridge. This... I'm afraid this is not...

Upon seeing this, Baili Chengyou turned his head and glanced at A'Tu. A'Tu understood it and while instructing a team of five people to sneak up from the side, he shouted loudly to attract the woman's attention.

"This is the convoy of the marriage alliance between Nanli and Yongchao. If you recognize this, retreat quickly!"

Everyone was paying close attention to the advancing five-man team. They saw them sprinting close to the ground. They were obviously well-trained and highly skilled in martial arts.

But the next moment, an incredible scene happened.

I saw that the closer the five-person team got to the strange woman, the slower they moved. When they were about three feet away from the woman, they suddenly all lay on the ground and stopped moving!

A'Tu's expression changed slightly when he saw this, and without hesitation he took out a bone whistle from the girdle and blew it loudly.

As a result, the five-person team seemed unheard and motionless!

"This this......"

As soon as this incident came out, everyone's expression changed, and some people even thought of ghosts and gods!

"Yes...are the ghosts of those who died in Papi Ridge coming to claim their lives? I heard that this place is often haunted at night!"

"Huh? No...it can't be right?"

Seeing that people's hearts were in chaos, Qiao Zhongguo immediately shouted:

"The talk of ghosts is nothing but nonsense. All you dignified and warm-blooded men are frank, so why should you be afraid!"

This voice was so powerful that it shocked everyone, and then they became quiet again.

Qiao Zhongguo took a deep look at the rhythmic person.

Since some people are engaging in psychological tactics, it means that the dancing girl is pretending to be a ghost!

At this time, Baili Chengyou also came to Qiao Zhongguo. He guessed in a low voice: "Master Qiao, those five people may have been drugged."

Qiao Zhongguo nodded with deep understanding.

At this moment, they all turned their attention to the second prince's carriage.

A strange phenomenon has emerged here, but the second prince remains motionless in the carriage...

"Qiao...Master Qiao..."

At this time, a slightly weak voice suddenly sounded.

Qiao Zhongguo turned around and saw that it was Meng Guxue who opened the curtain and waved to him regardless of the presence of all the guards.

Qiao Zhongguo frowned slightly and immediately stepped forward, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Guxue's face turned pale, and she supported the frame of the car and said, "No... something's wrong, I seem... I don't have any strength left."

Qiao Zhongguo's expression changed when he heard this.

"Princess, did you eat anything else today?"

Meng Guxue shook her head, "No, I only ate the dry food and water sent by Mr. Qiao."

After just saying these two words, Meng Guxue was so tired that she gasped.

Baili Chengyou stepped forward and shouted: "Military doctor!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him suddenly shook slightly, and some people actually fell to the ground!

Qiao Zhongguo's expression changed drastically, and he suddenly turned to look at the woman who was still dancing at the wind outlet.

The white mist around her became thicker and thicker.

"No! It's medicine! That white mist is medicine! Cover your mouth and nose!"

Qiao Zhongguo immediately covered his mouth and nose, but at this time, even he felt suffocated and dizzy.

He turned to look at Baili Chengyou, and sure enough, Baili Chengyou also turned pale.

How can it be!

Qiao Zhongguo raised his head in disbelief. He had already chosen an open area. Even if the woman poisoned her upstream, it would not have such a miraculous effect!

At this time, everyone in the Qiao family gathered around. Everyone said that they were dizzy, nauseated, and exhausted. Only Qiao Liu and Qiao Eleven looked rosy and not feeling much discomfort.

"General, what's going on?" Qiao Liu looked shocked.

Qiao Zhongguo and Baili Chengyou looked at each other after hearing the sound, and their expressions finally changed.

Qiao Liu and Qiao Eleven came later, and they followed the convoy for a day. They had just inhaled the white mist, but they were the only two who didn't feel any strange.

This can only mean one thing - everyone else has been poisoned a long time ago, or in other words, the poison has been lurking in all of them!

And the white mist released by the woman should have completely awakened the poison in their bodies!

At this point in his thoughts, there was one thing that Qiao Zhongguo couldn't figure out.

Even if other people would be poisoned, the Qiao family brought their own dry food and water all the way, and they were separated from everyone else. How could they also be infected?

Just when everyone was panicking and confused, the second prince finally opened the curtain and got out of the carriage.

After not seeing him for two days, he looked pale and haggard as never before.

Guiyue dragged her limp body forward and shouted in a low voice: "Your Highness, it's bad, a thief is attacking us!"

The second prince was holding on to the wall of the car, looking extremely weak.

Qiao Zhongguo stared steadily at the second prince. He could feel the weakness in his body getting heavier and heavier, and even his limbs began to feel numb.

The second prince took a breath, raised his head as if inadvertently, and met Qiao Zhongguo's gaze "by chance".

The next moment, he twitched his lips at Qiao Zhongguo without any concealment, his eyes dark and full of cruelty.

Yes, he was provocative.

He was telling Qiao Zhongguo blatantly with his eyes: He was the one who did it!

Guard against day and night, it is difficult to guard against house thieves.

Even if Qiao Zhongguo and Baili Chengyou were extremely cautious, but he was in the team, could they still not find a chance?

He had been preparing for this trip to Nanli Country for so long. From the day the convoy set off, everyone fell into the trap he carefully laid!

The dry food carried by the convoy was mixed with drugs from the very beginning. It was very small and very shallow, and it was impossible to detect it.

Because if the poison occurs in advance and they haven't arrived at Papi Ridge yet, they are afraid that something bad will happen.

There are also pots and pans that everyone uses to cook. Every time they are washed, someone will carefully apply medicine on the edges of the pots and bowls.

The Qiao family was cautious enough, and even dry food and water were separated from everyone along the way.

But it doesn't matter, it's a long way to go, and the Qiao family also needs food, drink and supplies on the way and at various stations.

He had tampered with the food at the inn, including the things the Qiao family bought through the inn.

It doesn't matter if the Qiao family buys it themselves on the way. There are always opportunities at the dozen or so stations along the way.

This operation really consumes countless manpower. No matter how many times he calculated, Qiao Zhongguo never expected that he would be so capable!

In the past, he naturally did not have such strength and financial resources, but King Jinyu was willing to help him.

It was King Jinyu who gave him all the manpower deployed in the Yong Dynasty for more than ten years for him to deploy at will.

In this way, it is really a piece of cake to start planning and arranging meals for the marriage.

He originally wanted to directly arrange strong poison for the Qiao family, but after thinking about it carefully, Qiao Zhongguo still had a status in his father's heart after all, and he would definitely be suspicious if he was found to have died from poison.

There is also the emperor brother. The emperor brother will definitely not let it go. If he finds out about this, he will not let him go.

We might as well die together in the hands of the bandits in Papi Ridge. In this way, there would even be a scapegoat.

As long as he plays another cruel trick, the overall situation will be safe!

As for why those bandits listened to him and why they dared to take action against the two countries' marriage convoy, he had his own clever plan...

Qiao Zhongguo felt a sudden chill in his heart when he saw the second prince's smiling face.

Be wary of thieves for a thousand days. If you make a mistake in your assessment, you will eventually lose something!

He has fought for half his life and been in court for more than ten years. He has never encountered an enemy with such scheming intentions!

"Dad, this poison is not simple, and I can't suppress it internally!"

At the critical moment, Qiao Diyi looked calm, but he was very able to handle things!

Master has taught us that the more desperate the situation is, the more calm we must be. Only in this way can we see the way out of the situation and survive the desperate situation!

He secretly patted his chest at his father. There was a "100-Poison-proof Pill" that his little sister had prepared for them early!

Qiao Zhongguo took a deep look at Qiao Diyi.

This medicine is very important. If used properly, it may change the situation. However, it cannot be used wisely.

"Second brother, remember to be unexpected!"

Qiao Diyi pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily.

When it comes to life and death, he, Qiao Lao Er, is not ambiguous!

At this time, Qiao Zhongguo looked at Qiao Liu and Qiao Eleven, who were in good combat strength, and ordered in a stern voice:

"Ah Liu, Eleven, you two protect Princess Nanning and stay close to her!"

The military order was like a mountain, Qiao Liu and Qiao Eleven responded heavily, and immediately stood guard beside the car, one on the left and the other on the right.

Meng Guxue retracted into the car with a pale face. Xiaotao was equally weak, but she still grabbed Meng Guxue's hand and gritted her teeth and said:

"Miss, Xiao Tao's current behavior will only hinder you. If nothing can be done for a while, you can just leave with the adults of the Qiao family. Don't worry about Xiao Tao!"

Meng Guxue's heart was originally cold, but now when she heard what Xiao Tao said, there was a sudden warmth in her chest.

"Xiao Tao, I regret it. I shouldn't have asked you to follow me. Don't worry, I, Meng Guxue, am not a wolf-hearted person. The worst case... the worst case is death!"

Speaking of this, Meng Guxue was so scared that she shed tears.

The atmosphere outside the carriage was extremely solemn, and everyone knew in their hearts that things couldn't be nice tonight!

At this moment, the dancing woman finally stopped. She retreated slowly, but what came to her place were extremely strong figures!

"Here they come! The bandits from Papi Ridge are here!"

Someone shouted in horror.

Baili Chengyou looked at the dense crowd of figures in the distance, with no fear on his face, and shouted:

"Everyone in the world should know that if you make a mistake, you will have no regrets!"

"If you retreat now, this palace will be ignorant of it, and you can still be the king of the mountain with unparalleled will!"

"Once you take action, you will offend Nanli and Yongchao at the same time. If the cavalry comes one day, it will level the mountains!"

"Don't think that after today, you can live and feed well with these dowries. The items in the box are all made by the government and have marks! Once circulated, traces will be left!"

"If you are guilty, I will hunt you down to the end of the country and make sure you never have peace!"

"The balance of pros and cons is all in your mind. I would like to advise you to take advantage of today and don't seek death!"

As soon as Baili Chengyou said these words, the mountaintops buzzed!

Chapter 249 He must have other plans!

"Master, what the prince of Nanli Kingdom said makes sense!"

The person who spoke was Fu Baozhu from the Lu branch, who was equivalent to the personal bodyguard of the big boss, and was still very dignified in front of the big boss.

"Master, we have been exiled here. Thanks to the protection of the master, we can take root and settle down here. This... the risk of this vote is really high."

The headmaster Lu Liushan looked thoughtful when he heard this.

On the left side of the group with the surname Lu, the second largest force, the surname Qi, squatted.

After listening to Baili Chengyou's words, they also wanted to retreat.

"My lord, this Papi Ridge is an area where there is no control between the two. The Yong Kingdom and the Nanli Kingdom are wary of each other, so neither side can set foot easily. This is why we are living a happy life today."

"If the two countries are offended at the same time tonight, I'm afraid they share the same enemy and come to suppress them together. Then the mountain top will be razed, and we... I'm afraid we won't be spared either!"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the Qi family nodded in agreement.

The leader, Liu Runan, listened to these words. He looked away and looked at Lu Liushan. Both of them wanted to retreat.

"What are you afraid of!"

At this time, an extremely abrupt voice suddenly sounded from the Liu branch on the right.

"We are desperadoes, so we are so timid!"

"Besides, let's just melt the gold and silver. Can't we keep the fine cloth and the official seal for our own use?"

"This dowry is extremely rich and valuable. If each of us shares a share, then we will have enough food and clothing for the rest of our lives. Then we can buy a farm and a house, and marry a good wife and a beautiful concubine. Wouldn't it be nice?"

As soon as these words came out, the wealthy bandits hesitated again. They looked at the surrounded convoy with green eyes like hungry wolves!

The bandits in Papi Ridge were divided into two groups and were still in a dilemma. Qiao Zhongguo had already made arrangements here.

"Although the bandits are tough, they are not united and have divided factions, each with their own agenda! Everyone forms a battle formation, fight and retreat around the Xichai. Hold on, there will be reinforcements behind you!"

The secret guards of the Qiao family felt weak all over, but they still responded sternly, stood in their respective positions well-trained, and surrounded the Xiche!

Qiao Zhongguo looked pleased when he saw this, and waved to Qiao Diyi.

Qiao Diyi walked out of the formation, and the father and son looked at the dark figures in the distance, both with serious expressions on their faces.

"Second brother, this is your real first battle. I believe that I have taught you everything I need to teach you. Now I will give you the most serious task!"

Qiao Diyi said with a serious face, "Father, my son listens to you!"

Qiao Zhongguo whispered: "Dad was ordered to protect the marriage of Princess Nanning, but since the second prince is in the convoy, even if he has his own bodyguard, dad still has the responsibility to protect the second prince."

When Qiao Diyi heard this, he immediately understood, "Do you want your son to protect the second prince?"

Qiao Zhongguo nodded, "Whether we can protect the second prince or not, we must at least show an attitude, otherwise the second prince will bite back in front of the Holy Lord, and our Qiao family will have to bear the blame."

"However, if the second prince wants to use his tricks, he will definitely find ways to get rid of you or even... take the opportunity to assassinate you!"

"Second brother, if you take the '100-Poison Invincible Pill', when you get to the Second Prince, you will have to act according to your own circumstances. The blood... you can only rely on yourself to get it!"

Qiao Diyi nodded seriously when he heard this. At this time, he did not argue with Qiao Zhongguo about who should take the pill.

On the battlefield, questioning the general's orders is the most taboo, and being indecisive is also taboo!

"Children take orders!"

Qiao Diyi responded solemnly, suddenly stepped forward and hugged Qiao Zhongguo, then rushed to the second prince's carriage in one breath.

Qiao Zhongguo was slightly startled at first, and then touched his chest.

Before the second child left, he gave him the Vajra Indestructible Talisman.

This is good stuff...

Qiao Zhongguo sighed softly and took one last look at Qiao Diyi's back. He had so many thoughts in his mind that he finally suppressed them all and turned around to join the battle!

The falcon tests its wings, and the wind and dust spread.

Second child, daddy is waiting to see you emerge and become a blockbuster!

In the carriage, Meng Guxue and Xiao Tao were huddled in the corner, their faces pale and trembling.

Meng Guxue had never experienced such a dangerous scene since the peaceful and prosperous times. At this time, her heart was full of panic, which was beyond words.

At this time, she suddenly heard Qiao Zhongguo's serious voice outside the carriage.

She heard Qiao Zhongguo and all the Qiao family's secret guards saying that she was the first priority in everything and they must protect her life at all costs!

Meng Guxue shed more tears when she heard this.

When she used to watch TV series and read novels, she always felt that the scene of sacrificing countless people to protect one person was particularly stupid and unworthy.

Now that she has become the beneficiary, she understands the weight and helplessness of this decision, and how lucky the rescued person is!

Thinking of this, she patted Xiao Tao comfortingly, and then cautiously leaned forward and opened the corner of the car curtain.

From her perspective, she could only see the back of the Qiao family surrounding her. Qiao Zhongguo stood at the front. His figure was as majestic as a mountain, and he was the backbone of everyone.

At this moment, the night wind is howling, and powerful enemies are waiting around.

Meng Guxue, who traveled from another time and space, truly faced the cruelty and bloodshed of this era for the first time, and finally appreciated the greatness and bravery of the hero who protected the country.

No wonder...no wonder that when Qiao Zhongguo was beheaded in the dream, the whole city mourned and sent people to see him off in the long streets.

The eyes of the people are always sharp.

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue's eyes felt sour, and she was extremely grateful and shocked.

"Your Highness, the enemy has stopped moving." Atu's voice suddenly sounded.

Meng Guxue's attention was attracted by this voice, and her eyes naturally fell on Baili Chengyou who was beside A Tu.

At this time, she could still clearly see Baili Chengyou's profile. His face was slightly pale, but his expression was resolute.

Seeing how calm he was, Meng Guxue felt a little more at ease.

Baili Chengyou had a dream. Although this scene did not appear in the dream, it was impossible for him to be unprepared for Shen Yuanbai——

etc!

At this point in his thoughts, Meng Guxue suddenly became excited!

Yes, Baili Chengyou should be the one who knows Shen Yuanbai's methods best. How could he fall for it without any precautions?

Moreover, Nanli people are good at medicine!

In her dream, Baili Chengyou had a good teacher, the medical sage of Nanli Kingdom, with extremely superb medical skills!

Baili Chengyou was led by the medical sage to taste medicinal herbs since he was a child. He told himself in his dream that his body was infiltrated by medicinal herbs all year round and ordinary poisons would not be able to harm him at all!

In this case, how could he be so weak now?

wrong! wrong!

Meng Guxue was panicking. She really couldn't underestimate Baili Chengyou. He must have other plans!

Meng Guxue's thoughts had just reached this point when he suddenly saw a group of bandits rushing down the slope.

Their clamor was deafening and terrifying!

"It is difficult to achieve great things if you are afraid of your hands and feet! Since you are hesitant, let us take over this wealth!"

Just when everyone was hesitating, Liu's group suddenly rushed downhill regardless.

When the two families named Lu and Qi saw this, their expressions changed drastically!

They haven't discussed the charter yet, but Liu Ling dares to make his own decisions!

Qi Runan was the first to notice something was wrong, and shouted at someone named Lu:

"Brother Lu, this Liu Ling has always been timid and cautious. Why is his behavior today so different from the past?"

"Also, isn't the girl dancing just now from Liu Ling's side? What does he mean by arranging a girl to dance?"

Lu Liushan came to his senses at this moment and shouted: "Brother Qi, did you see Liu Ling just now?"

As soon as these words came out, the two masters realized that Liu Ling had never shown up from beginning to end!

Qi Runan's mind suddenly changed and he immediately slapped his thigh, "It's broken. I'm afraid Liu Ling might have encountered an accident a long time ago. Someone is forcing us to take action!"

In the eyes of outsiders, Lu, Qi, and Liu are all in the same spirit. Now that the Liu surname makes a move, it naturally represents their attitude towards Papi Ling.

In this way, they and Papi Ridge have offended Nanli and Yong. If they defend themselves afterwards, the two countries will think that they have gained an advantage and want to escape unscathed.

Lu Liushan was furious when he heard this, "Damn it! Who is plotting against me, Lu Liushan! This is paving the way for him with the lives of our brothers from Papi Ling!"

Qi Runan let out a long sigh, "Brother Lu, it's too late to say anything! Even if you and I rush forward and kill all Liu Ling's men, today we have left a trail!"

"We have offended too many people. Nanli and Yongchao have probably wanted to kill us for a long time, but they still have no reason to set foot on Papi Ridge."

"If you and I make trouble today, we have no way out. We can only kill all the marriage team here, and then run away with the dowry!"

"Otherwise, when Nanli and Yong's cavalry come, you and I will be buried here!"

Lu Liushan already understood the situation in his heart, but he still couldn't bear his anger. He cursed a few curse words and finally shouted:

"Damn it, brothers, we have to rush! Remember, leave no one behind!"

Woo ah——

All the bandits responded and rushed down the slope. Looking from a distance, it seemed like a black waterfall was flowing.

Meng Guxue was so excited by this movement that her whole body trembled.

At this time, the bandit who ran down first was already facing the guard at the front.

Meng Guxue's eyes widened, and she saw the bandit with a ferocious expression, raising the knife and slashing half of the neck of the guard who was already poisoned like a cabbage.

Meng Guxue opened her mouth wide. She wanted to scream, but she lost her voice.

People are dead... really people are dead!

There are still many people to die!

The bandits who came later were hesitant at first, but when they saw how vulnerable these guards were, they were instantly overjoyed and screamed wildly!

"Ahaha! God help us! These people seem to have been tricked a long time ago!"

"Kill!"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, brothers, does anyone want to taste what it's like to be a princess of a country?"

Seeing that the situation was going smoothly, the bandits immediately became elated, and countless filthy words came to their faces.

"Array up!"

Qiao Zhongguo took a deep breath and spoke sharply!

Meng Guxue's body swayed slightly with the carriage. It turned out that Qiao Shiyi was reining in the reins and turning the horse's head to protect her retreat!

Meng Guxue grabbed the car frame with both hands, and her eyes were fixed on Baili Chengyou!

Baili Chengyou must not have been tricked, what did he want to do by pretending to be weak!

He couldn't abandon her, not because of how charming she was, but because she still had useful knowledge in her mind!

Baili Chengyou knows her value!

At this moment, Meng Guxue's mind was spinning faster than ever before. She didn't want to die, and she didn't want the Qiao family to die for her!

At this point in his thoughts, Meng Guxue suddenly had an idea!

Yes!

Baili Chengyou is the prince of Nanli Kingdom and will also be the leader of Nanli Kingdom in the future!

So the starting point of everything he does is for Nanli Country!

If you think about it this way, everything makes sense!

In the final analysis, all the people of the Yong Dynasty are enemies of the Nanli Kingdom. This bandit attack, whether they take advantage of the chaos to kill the second prince or take the opportunity to destroy the Qiao family, will benefit Nanli Kingdom without any harm!

Baili Chengyou deliberately showed weakness in order to reap the benefits!

He was not poisoned, and it was even possible that even the twelve secret guards around him were safe!

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue felt cold all over and her head felt swollen.

The cleverness and scheming of these people are beyond her reach!

However, if Baili Chengyou thought that she, Meng Guxue, was hopelessly stupid and was stupid enough to let him control her, he would be wrong!

Not only did she want to save her life, she also would never allow Baili Chengyou to use the Qiao family as cannon fodder and let her bear the guilt and guilt of killing the Qiao family!

"Baili Chengyou!"

Meng Guxue suddenly shouted with all his strength!

Baili Chengyou turned his head when he heard the sound and met Meng Guxue's stubborn but determined expression.

She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Baili Chengyou, if you ignore me and the Qiao family today, don't expect me to help you in the future!"

"You know what I have, and I know what you want! You are not the only one who has had that dream!"

After Meng Guxue finished shouting, she completely lost her strength and fell onto the car, but she still raised her face and stared at Baili Chengyou!

She saw Baili Chengyou's always strategizing expression slowly cracking into disbelief, mixed with a hint of surprise.

"you......"

Baili Chengyou murmured, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

"Send someone! Protect us!"

Meng Guxue spoke again with anger.

She just looked straight at Baili Chengyou and refused to give in!

Baili Chengyou's eyes were dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He nodded slowly for a long time.

"Okay, this palace will comply with your request!"

After Baili Chengyou finished speaking, he turned around and said to the twelve secret guards beside him: "A Cheng, lead five people to protect you outside Qiao's house!"

A Cheng, who looked weak just now, received Baili Chengyou's look, straightened his back and took orders in a deep voice. How could he still look like he had been poisoned?

When Meng Guxue saw Baili Chengyou's six secret guards running over, her heart suddenly relaxed, and she was so frightened that her whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

She...she made the right bet, Baili Chengyou and the others were just faking it!

At this time, Baili Chengyou suddenly turned his head and took a deep look at Meng Guxue.

Meng Guxue shrank suddenly when she saw the possessive eyes that regarded her as prey, and hurriedly hid in the car.

She revealed her final trump card to Baili Chengyou. If she survived tonight, she didn't know what Baili Chengyou would do to her...

Thinking of this, Meng Guxue deeply felt the powerlessness of having no control over her fate. Thinking of her bleak future and uncertainty about life and death, she couldn't help but cover her face and cry softly...
