Chapter 1577 Hidden Dragon
Chu Huan waited until the two maids walked about ten steps away, and then followed behind like a ghost, silently.
He was also confused. He heard from the maid that a man needed hot water four or five times a day, and he was quite curious. What was even more strange was that in this Governor's Mansion, except Qiao Mingtang, the highest-ranking one was of course Mrs. Qiao, but from the maid's opinion, Mrs. Qiao seemed to be very afraid of the man, which made Chu Huan wonder.
Two maids carried wooden barrels and walked through the two courtyard gates, and finally arrived outside a yard. It was dark and windy. Chu Huan looked at it from afar. Seeing the high walls around the yard and glazed tiles on the walls, what surprised him even more was that just outside the Governor's Mansion, Chu Huan felt that the guards of the Governor's Mansion had more than twice as much as before. He only thought that after Qiao Mingtang left, he was very concerned about the safety of Mrs. Qiao, so he specially deployed heavy troops in the Governor's Mansion. That was fine, but at this moment, Chu Huan saw that even in the Governor's Mansion, outside the yard in front, there were heavy troops, three steps and five steps, and his guard was extremely strict.
The two maids arrived in front of the courtyard, but Chu Huan saw Mrs. Qiao who had not seen for a long time waiting outside the courtyard. Mrs. Qiao did not change much, but she looked quite nervous. When she saw the bucket coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked the maid to put the bucket outside the courtyard. The gate was half-closed, and the maid did not let the maid go in. Mrs. Qiao asked the two maids to retreat and entered the courtyard. She quickly came out. Two maids came out of the courtyard and carried the bucket inside. However, Mrs. Qiao did not follow in, but stood outside the gate and gently brought it to the courtyard gate, and then left along a path.
Chu Huan was surprised when she saw Mrs. Qiao's actions. Mrs. Qiao's actions were obviously very careful. She was the master of the Governor's Mansion. Everyone in the mansion could only serve her carefully. However, she turned her head and turned her back and frowned slightly. At this time, she could not see the situation in the courtyard. She saw a big tree not far away, with lush branches and leaves and extremely high growth. She immediately approached her silently, and went to the book like a spirit ape, covering her body by the leaves. At this time, she was condescending, but she faintly saw the situation in the courtyard.
The courtyard was wide and decorated very exquisitely. When Chu Huan looked down from above, he saw that there were lanterns hanging in the yard, and the lights were shining. Although the courtyard was not as bright as day, he could see clearly. He saw that in the yard, there was a chair, with long hair floating in white and dressed in white. He was sitting on the chair, and next to the chair, there was a wooden tray. Two maids were carrying the wooden barrels they had just taken into it and pouring water into the wooden tray.
Aside from the wooden barrel, a woman in a blue dress was holding an exquisite small wooden box in her hand, and a porcelain spoon in the other hand, picking something from the box and putting it into the wooden plate. Chu Huan was too far away and couldn't see clearly whether it was going into the wooden plate. However, Chu Huan, the woman, saw clearly and changed her color, and found that the woman suddenly became Mrs. Liuli.
Mrs. Liuli is beautiful and Chu Huan still remembers her figure. Although the lights in the yard are not very bright, Chu Huan is condescending, a little far away, and can't see the woman's face clearly, but Chu Huan recognizes that it is Liuli at a glance. After all, Liuli's style and temperament are unparalleled, and it is hard for anyone to compare with. With those gentle movements, Chu Huan must be Mrs. Liuli.
When Chu Huan thought that the woman was Mrs. Liuli, her eyes immediately moved to the man in white. When she saw the man in white sitting in a wheelchair, she changed color. She thought to herself: "It turns out that the prince has actually arrived in the west!"
He was very surprised. Although he knew the chaos in the capital, Chu Huan was not sure about how chaos was. He knew that the chaos in the capital was caused by the refugees near the capital. He had thought in his heart that even if there were a large number of refugees, they were all unarmed ordinary people after all, and there were still guards in the capital. Even if the refugees were rushed into the city, they would not really destroy Luo'an's capital.
Moreover, Chu Huan also knew that, by the heart, the prince was not a mediocre person. When the capital encountered difficulties, the prince would always come up with a way to deal with it. Even if the capital was in chaos, the prince could be pushed into the imperial city. Chu Huan did not expect that the prince would leave the capital. After all, the capital was the heart of the empire. The emperor was in the north and the prince was in charge of the capital. Even if he encountered difficulties, the prince should not leave Kyoto easily.
When the emperor was on the north tour, the prince was waiting for the lord of the capital. If even the prince left, the capital was unavailable, almost as if the heart of the empire was penetrated. The impact can be imagined.
But he didn't expect that the prince still left the capital.
When he saw the prince, Chu Huan frowned. At this time, he had confirmed that the situation in the capital was afraid that what he had expected would be much worse.
He didn't know what Mrs. Liuli had put into the wooden plate, but he saw the maid serving the prince and put her feet into the wooden plate.
The prince's leg disease is known to both the court and the country. Mrs. Liuli has been taking care of the prince. One of the biggest tasks is to help treat leg disease. Chu Huan knew that Mrs. Liuli was likely to be helping the prince to treat leg disease at this time, but she didn't know whether the prince's leg disease would really recover. Now that Qin State has fallen, the building is about to collapse, but she doesn't know how much the prince can do even if he really recovers from leg disease.
Chu Huan was hiding in the tree, thinking about something, suddenly saw two figures heading towards the gate of the yard. The man in front of him was quick in body skills and looked like a good martial arts master. Behind him, a thin figure followed him and faintly heard the man in front of him say loudly: "Report to Your Highness, the envoy sent to Anyi has returned and is waiting for Your Highness to summon him!"
Chu Huan frowned and thought to himself that the prince had sent someone to Anyi.
Anyi is in the northwest of Xishan Road, bordering Xishan Road. In order to seize the wealth of Anguo Duke Huang Ju, Chu Huan once went to Anyi as an imperial envoy and had a good relationship with Yuan Chongshang, the governor of Anyi.
Chu Huan thought that at this time, the prince sent people to Anyi to dispatch troops from Anyi to the capital to quell the rebellion.
Although the southeast and even northwest of the empire are no longer under the control of the empire, the northern roads are still ordered by the empire. Although there are many bandits and chaos in each road, and even officers and soldiers have rebelled, there are no rebellions in Xishan, Anyi, Hujin, even Hexi, Liaodong, and Fuhai. After the Jinling rebellion, the southwest of Sichuan and Nanyue have been blocked by roads, and bandits are everywhere. It is the time of war, but the West Mountain and Anyi roads are still peaceful now.
Chu Huan knew that Qiao Mingtang, the governor of Xishan Road, was originally a member of the princely party. Being able to become the governor of Xishan Road is also the power of the princely party. It is not incomprehensible that the prince appeared in Xishan. Qiao Mingtang's Xishan troops were already stationed on the front line. The prince mobilized troops from Anyi and prepared to advance to the capital with Xishan troops to quell the rebellion. This is also an inevitable matter at present.
When Chu Huan saw the prince waved his hand and said something in a low voice, Chu Huan couldn't hear clearly. A maid had already arrived in front of the door, opened the yard gate, and led the envoy into the yard.
After entering the yard, the envoy fell to his knees and said respectfully: "I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"What's the situation in Anyi?" The prince sat leaning on the chair, his feet in the wooden basin. The water in the basin was filled with heat, and his feet did not move at all.
The envoy said respectfully: "Report to Your Highness, I have not seen Yuan Chongshang!"
The prince frowned, and the man had already explained: "When the humble official arrived in Anyi, Yuan Chongshang, the governor of Anyi, had left Anyi and headed for Hexi..."
"Go to Hexi?" the prince frowned and said, "What did he do in Hexi?"
The envoy said, "Your Highness doesn't know anything. I heard that there is a birthday celebration in Hexi. So I have to prepare for the birthday ceremony of heaven and send someone to summon Yuan Chongshang to Hexi to pay homage."
The prince's eyebrows locked up, and he seemed to really not know about this, and said in a deep voice: "A ceremony for the sacrifice of heaven?"
"Yes!" said the envoy: "When Bei Yi arrived in Anyi, Yuan Chongshang had already left Taiyuan Prefecture, so Bei Yi had to come back and report to the prince."
However, the prince looked at Mrs. Liuli beside him and asked, "Is there any news outside that my father is going to hold a birthday ceremony in Hexi?"
Liuli frowned and said, "I didn't hear that. Maybe the emperor didn't want to be too alarmed, so there was no big fanfare at this time..."
"The birthday of the father...!" The prince said thoughtfully: "Yes, in more than half a month, it will be the birthday of the father... I sent someone to Anyi, why no one came to the west mountain?"
Liuli said softly: "Maybe the Lord of the Condor Heroes knew that Lord Qiao sent troops to quell the rebellion, so he did not send anyone to come."
The prince raised his hand and signaled the envoy to retreat first, and then signaled the two maids to retreat. After they retreated, the prince frowned and said, "At this time, it seems that it is not the time for the father to hold a sacrifice to heaven in Hexi."
Liuli said, "Since it is the priest's intention, no one can resist the order." After pausing, he said quietly, "Yuan Chongshang was not in Anyi, so it would be difficult to mobilize the troops in Anyi."
The prince said lightly: "Yuan Chongshang is not here, so I can still go to Anyi to dispatch troops in person. Although I am not in the capital, I am already the governor of the Qin Dynasty...!"
"Your Highness..." Liuli sighed lightly, and said to herself: "Are you blaming me in your heart?"
The prince frowned and said, "Why do you say that?"
"After leaving Beijing, although you have never said anything, but... but I know that it is against your wishes to let someone take you out of the capital. You want to stay in the capital to stay in the capital...!" Liuli's beautiful face was a little distressed: "But I was only worried that you were in danger at that time, so...!"
The prince stretched out his hand, held Mrs. Liuli's smooth little hand, and said warmly: "Liuli, don't say such words, I know your thoughts. You are worried that I will be harmed by others in the capital..." He smiled bitterly: "Actually, you are not wrong. Even if I stay in the capital, can I really turn the world around? I lack soldiers and food, the mountains and earth are shaking, I don't have the talent to overcome the world, and the country is so powerful. If I want to turn the world, I don't have that great ability...!" r1058
