Chapter 117 Countermeasures

In the Shu Palace, the concubine Wang was visiting her daughter-in-law, and the princess Cui, and the wounds on Cui had been taken with medicine. Although she was stabbed several times, she did not hurt her vital points, so although her clothes were stained with blood, they were all wounded.

While in the palace, the imperial doctor had already treated Cui's wounds. After returning to the palace, Cui changed into a dress. Although he washed away the blood, he was not in good spirits. The previous experience of being held hostage made her feel like she had gone to the underworld.

"Silang said that he had never met Hu Ji once. He had not asked him to take Hu Ji in the palace before. Why are you so angry that you brought people into the palace to capture him... Alas, where did Silang's face be put!"

Wang said heartbrokenly, "It's good to come to Japan today, but his wife took people into the palace to catch the adulterer." Not only did the matter make a big deal, but it also made a big deal out of control."

Cui's face was pale and a little dull: "My wife was also anxious for a moment..."

"What's the matter in a hurry? You are the main wife and have given birth to a prince. Silang just takes a few concubines and gives birth to a few concubines. How can he threaten you and the prince? Even if he thinks, I won't agree!!"

"My wife knows, it's just... just..."

Cui said with a sad face, "It's over, so how dare she pursue Yuchi Dun's "smuggling fish"? Besides, all the signs show that Yuchi Dun really didn't have any affair with the Persian Hu Ji."

"Nothing is just. You should recover from your injuries. Don't cry all day long. The prince doesn't know what happened. Don't let him cry when he sees you!"

"Yes, mother."

Seeing his daughter-in-law like this, Wang didn't know how to teach her a lesson. The dignified King of Shu was actually caught by the princess. Even if it was just a misunderstanding, such behavior would make Yuchi Dun lose all his face.

Not to mention that Cui was also held hostage by the Hu Ji, and was in a mess in public. It would inevitably be a laughing stock in the future. Wang himself felt that his face was dull.

For Wang, it was nothing to take a concubine by his son Yuchi Dun. He would give birth to a few more sons, so he was actually very angry about his jealous daughter-in-law's behavior of "catching evil people".

Of course, if it were Yuchi Jiong who was still there, Wang would have been desperate if he had taken a concubine, so based on this point, Wang would not blame his daughter-in-law too much.

Cui knew that he was in the wrong, and when he was held hostage by thieves as a shield at the entrance of the Shanshui Pool, Yuchi Dun ordered an arrow to be fired regardless of her safety. Cui even recalled now and was frightened.

She was so angry that she could not stand up.

......

The front yard, study room, prime minister, Shu Wang Yuchi Dun was discussing countermeasures with several confidants. The search was underway, but no real good news came so far.

The tunnel that left the palace had already found the entrance and exit, but the tunnel was empty. The thief held the emperor hostage, the queen mother and others changed their clothes before leaving the tunnel, so the hunting dogs could not track down the trails afterwards.

The only thing that can be roughly certain is that because the city gates are closed in time, these thieves should not have left the city, but hid somewhere in the city.

When can I find it? I don’t know, maybe it’s one day, maybe it’s ten days, maybe it’s a month, but the state of Dasuo City cannot last for so long. If people cannot be caught in the short term, the scale of the search can only be reduced.

Once this happens, it is easy for the rebels to escape from the city with the emperor. If they finally escape to the territory controlled by Yuwen, it would be a bad thing.

Therefore, the anxious Yuchi Dun had to discuss countermeasures with his confidant, and the way he started was the origin of this group of people.

According to Wang Xin, the thief who was traveling with the Queen Mother in the mountains and river pool at the time of the incident, these thieves who climbed over the wall had a conversation with the Queen Mother. Wang Xin heard it and knew that these people were guards of the King’s Mansion of Xiyang, and the leader was the one. The Queen Mother called him "Wu Ming".

From the words and words of the Queen Mother and these people, Wang Xin heard some "insider information", that is, after these people planned for a long time, they could definitely ensure that they were "unfortunate".

Wang Xin felt that the Persian Hu Ji who held the Princess of Shu hostage was not from these people.

In other words, Hu Ji held Princess Cui hostage and infiltrated into the palace to attract the emperor, the queen mother and others, were two different things, but they just happened to be together. These traitors should be Yuwen Wen's subordinates.

The authentic tunnel cannot be dug in one or two years. The other party’s hiding place may have been in operation for a long time, and the neighbors may not be able to see it.

Yuchi Dun rubbed his temples and looked at everyone present and asked, "What do you think?"

"Return to the Prime Minister, according to what Zuo Xiaogong Bo said, these traitors must have had a nest in the city, and now they are hiding there. They have to wait for the wind to try to leave the city. The officials thought that if they could not find someone in the past few days, they could be loose on the outside and tight on the inside..."

"I will go back to the prime minister and check it out in person. It cannot be completed in one or two years. Therefore, this tunnel may have existed several years ago. So, the thief's hiding place in the city may have a basement, and he will definitely not show up in the near future."

Yuchi Dun turned his gaze to Cui Zishu: "What do you think?"

"When the Prime Minister, the lower officials thought that the other party had a careful planning and would probably not find their hiding place for a while, but they would always reveal clues, so it would be better to post a list everywhere in the city, promise a reward, and encourage the people to report it, and use their eyes and ears to find out the other party's flaws."

"This... is too slow."

"Prime Minister, things have come to this point, and it's useless to be impatient. The most important thing now is in the palace." Cui Zishu began to remind Yuchi Dun, "You must never let people know that the emperor is no longer in the palace."

"So, are the stand-in ready?"

The little Sima, who commanded the imperial guards, replied: "Prime Minister, don't worry, the emperor is safe!"

Last year, the new king succeeded to the throne. In order to prevent accidents, Yuchi Dun ordered people to find a child of his age and height to teach etiquette and serve as a backup. Although his appearance is not exactly the same, it is okay to just fill in the gaps.

Thinking of this, Yuchi Dun made a decision: "Those palace maids, eunuchs, and guards, kill those who should be killed. The dead will not speak!"

"yes!"

Yuchi Dun gave a few words and started rubbing his temples again. He did not go to see the Hu Ji today. Now it seems that it is indeed a wise decision, otherwise he would have died on Hu Ji's couch.

The eunuch Liu Juer had committed suicide because of the crime, while the emperor, Queen Zhu, Queen Mother, the daughter of the princess and Persian Hu Ji were taken out of the palace by the thief and hid somewhere in the city, and could not find any trace in a hurry.

These things happened in the heavily guarded palace, which made Yuchi Dun, who thought he was foolproof, surprised, angry but helpless. He was no longer in the palace, so he could only use the fake emperor who had prepared long ago to top it.

Yuchi Dun had promised his brother Yuchi Shun that he would take good care of his two nieces. Now that his two nieces have been taken away, he didn't know how to explain to his brother.

All this would not have happened, but it happened. The tunnel that entered the palace seemed to have started digging several years ago. It was under someone's instruction. At that time, Yuchi Dun's father, so Shu Wang Yuchi Jiong, was still alive.

Someone is Yuwen Wen, and what did he do when he digs the tunnel into the palace for no reason?

Not just for the sake of ill-gotten!

Thinking of this, Yuchi Dun felt more and more that he had broken up with Yuwen. If he hadn't done it first, I'm afraid that Yuwen's dead soldiers would enter the palace along the tunnel in the future and launch a palace transformation while his father or he was not prepared.

The few people in the study were all Yuchi Dun's confidants, so they deeply agreed with Yuchi Dun's judgment. At the same time, they had a deep understanding of Yuwen Wen's ability.

Someone suggested: "King, since Yuwen Wen has prepared for a long time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to discover his nest in the city in a short time. The officials thought that the rewards for posting a list of rewards must not be missed, so that the people can actively inquire about the movements of their neighbors."

Yuchi Dun was not very optimistic about this: "I'm afraid I'm looking for a needle in a haystack..."

Cui Zishu thought for a while and asked, "Prime Minister, do you know that Mrs. Duke Li knows what happened today?"

"I have sent someone to the Duke of the Kingdom of Shi to tell me."

"Then, please send someone to closely monitor the Duke's Mansion."

"Hmm? It seems inappropriate." Yuchi Dun didn't want to do this, so as not to get more and more unhappy when his brother found out.
