Chapter 20: Brilliant
The rising sun is rising, the morning light is falling, and a line of wild birds flapping their wings rise.
The post station was particularly solemn in this cold morning light, with dried blood splashing on the courtyard and the walls, and more than twenty corpses were arranged in a row.
Among them were seven men in black, the rest were accompanied by guards, and several people from the post station also died of misfortune. Among them, there was one postmaster.
He was killed by a knife on his neck and fell into a haystack and burned half of his body. It was impossible to tell whether he committed suicide for fear of crime or was killed by an assassin in chaos. In short, this matter is impossible to investigate.
Fang Zhaoran's face was not good, and he did not mention when he would leave until dawn.
"Report!" The scout sent out rushed to him and knelt down: "As the commander expected, someone was camping not far from the inn last night. The young man saw that the horses they rode were all wearing black iron headbands, which was..."
The scout didn't dare to say it, but everyone knew it.
Isn’t the horse wearing a black iron headband a symbol of the soldiers of the Rong Mansion?
It seems that the person who assassinated last night was indeed from Prince Rong's mansion, and someone pulled out his knife at that time.
"What are you doing!" Fang Zhaoran stopped them, "Even if it is really them, you have no evidence. Can you condemn King Rong with these seven bodies that committed suicide?"
It's simply whimsical!
Everyone stopped, and the leader of the black-faced bearded team leader Qian couldn't help but say: "Did you just endure it like that!"
Fang Zhaoran glared at him with a cold face, and someone pulled Lao Qian back.
"I always feel that something is wrong," Fang Zhaoran paced with his hands behind his back, and his brows were frowning like an old man at a young age.
But the military camp is full of rude and rude jobs, which is really difficult for them to do.
Fang Zhaoran rubbed his eyebrows. At this moment, he was a little envious of aristocratic young man like Rong Su. Regardless of whether he was favored or not, he could always win over several useful scholars around him to give advice, and he...
With this mere sixth-rank commander, he has no relatives or helplessness. How could anyone be willing to serve him? He planned for him?
Fang Zhaoran grinded his teeth. He also walked step by step from a descendant of a sin slave who was bullied by others in the country to today.
"I understand! How could Rong Su not even send someone to the enemy overnight?" Fang Zhaoran said.
"They sent a killer, but how dare they send someone?" Old Qian's eyes widened bigger than the bronze bell.
Someone around him pulled him: "The commander means that people were not sent by the Rong family, otherwise we can find out?"
Fang Zhaoran nodded.
That's right, so there is only one possibility, that is, Rong Su is not in the camp at all, and Zhou Bin, who can take charge, was also restrained by King Yu in Yu's city, and no one in the tent makes the decision, so it's silent!
"Oh no!" Fang Zhaoran turned over and jumped onto the back: "You wait for the stay, Lao Qian, come with me!"
Fang Zhaoran rushed to the northeast with a quick horse and rushed to the northeast. In less than an hour, he ran into a scout, also wearing the armor of Chang'an imperial guards, on the official road of Yuzhou City.
"Commander!" The scout rushed off his horse and fell to his knees.
Fang Zhaoran buzzed in his ears and patted himself on the forehead: "Are you underestimating him?"
The scout made everything clear.
Just when they were about to escort the prince's car out of the city, the captain suddenly said that in case of precautions, the commander prepared a exactly the same carriage in the courtyard, asking them to escort the prince out of the city from the south gate, while the captain personally drove the fake carriage out of the city from the west gate.
Everyone did not doubt that he was there, but they did not know that they had left the city and met with Sanbai Jingwei, and found that there was no one in the car!
"Impossible! I won't betray us!" Captain Lao Qian was the first to disbelieve it.
The scout burst into tears: "We thought about it later and then we vaguely felt that the captain might not be the captain at all. It was just that Ye Hei was masked at that time and the figure was exactly the same as the captain, so we fell into the trap!"
"Okay, okay, he's so kind!" Fang Zhaoran laughed anxiously.
Not only did he find out that Chai Xiaozi had reached an agreement with him, but he also knew a few confidants around him, and even prepared the replacements.
This is probably not a one-day effort, but Rong Su has prepared it long ago!
Fang Zhaoran touched the back of his neck, and the hairs standing upside down became honest.
"Since Sanbai Jingwei already knows that the prince is lost, I can't hide this from the prince," Fang Zhaoran clamped his legs and whipped his horse to Yuzhou City with a quick whip.
He needs to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible, otherwise Prince Yu will fall into the hands of the Rong family, whether it is to His Majesty or him, there will be endless troubles!
But when the power of the country rushed to Prince Yu's mansion with fear, he found that Prince Yu was not at all anxious.
"The prince forgives the crime, but the subordinate underestimates the enemy." Fang Zhaoran knelt down on one knee and apologized for his guilt with his fists.
King Yu sighed: "I know, let's take the lead."
"The emperor dares not!" Fang Zhaoran stubbornly refused to get up. The basket was too big, so he could only say: "I beg the prince to leave immediately and follow the emperor to Chang'an to calm the overall situation!"
As long as King Yu's own grandfather appears in Chang'an, no monster or monster can do anything.
Even King Rong cannot separate his grandparents and grandchildren.
King Yu waved his hand: "No, the southwest tribes have been in frequent movements recently. The big toast married his daughter and married the most powerful tribe in the tribe. At this moment, I can't leave."
Fang Zhaoran beat the ground with hatred: "Can even the heaven help him!"
King Yu shook his head: "I don't look like it."
Fang Zhaoran looked up at him.
King Yu said: "It is said that Rong Su has a caravan in his hand, and he is doing the business of buying and selling jewelry in the Western Regions. During the time when the daughter of the Big Toast discusses marriage, it was the time when this caravan was a way. Does Commander Fang think there is such a coincidence in this world?"
Fang Zhaoran took a breath of cold air, but his face changed instantly: "The prince is so clear, is there a solution?"
"I..." King Yu raised his hand and fell down again, and said, "Come in."
Chu Cheng hugged Qin Cheng and came out of the back hall, clumsyly shaking the rattle, trying to attract the attention of the young master, but the little ancestor was obviously much more interested in his beard than the rattle. After pulling it down, he happily stuffed it into his mouth.
"This..." Fang Zhaoran stood up quickly and met him, not knowing where to put his hand for a moment: "Is this Mr. Cheng?"
Although King Yu said in front of him that he would make Qin Cheng the crown prince, his majesty's decree had not been issued yet. Fang Zhaoran, as a close minister around the emperor, naturally did not dare to change his words casually.
Seeing King Yu nodding, Fang Zhaoran's breath was immediately puffed out and immediately guessed a few points. I'm afraid that King Yu found some clues, so he detained Qin Cheng, sent a fake one out, and instead put Rong Su on his back.
"The prince is wise!" Of course he was not hesitant to praise him.
But King Yu's expression was a bitter smile and he turned straight to his back.
Fang Zhaoran seemed to be so smart that he immediately looked at Chu Cheng, who had an ugly face: "Is there any twists and turns in this?"
Chu Cheng glanced at King Yu's back and said to him: "It's Master Shao who replaced Master Cheng, and... he also left the mansion overnight to go to the loitering!"
Fang Zhaoran's mind buzzed, and this sentence was so informative that he could not handle it for a while.
Prince Yu's prince Qin Shao actually played him with his own strength, Prince Yu and even Rongsu, together?
