After sending away Ye Chang, the clingy Buddha, Su Fengnuan finally calmed down and found some free time.
She called Liu Kai to her side and told him, "Go and find out, who did the prince bring with him when he came from the capital, where is he staying now? Who will serve him? The more carefully you check, the better."
Liu Kai went in response.
Half an hour later, Liu Kai found out, and came back to report to Su Fengnuan, "Miss Hui, it is said that the crown prince came from the capital in a hurry, except for Feng Sheng, the eunuch who is in charge of the emperor, he did not bring anyone with him, not even the young lady who served him personally. The eunuch Xiao Fanzi didn’t bring anything. Only the five thousand Imperial Forest Army sent by the emperor.”
"It's so simple?" Su Fengnuan raised his eyebrows, "I heard that Yue Guifei loves the crown prince very much, and there are hundreds of people waiting around her. Why didn't the crown prince bring anyone except Feng Sheng when he came to Lingyun Town?"
Liu Kaidao, "It is said that the emperor wanted to come to Lingyun Town in person, but the empress dowager and the courtiers objected, which involved the relationship between the crown prince and Qinghua Fang. The emperor was angry and ordered the prince to leave Beijing. Concubine Yuegui originally wanted to come, but the emperor forbade it." , imprisoned her in the palace for self-reflection. Afterwards, Feng Sheng was ordered to follow the prince out of the capital in a hurry, not to show off, and to dress lightly. It is said that the prince respected the emperor's order, so he did not take a single one with him."
Su Fengnuan raised his eyebrows, "The prince is really obedient, and this matter is also interesting. It is rare for a majestic prince to walk so lightly and without many waiters, except for the imperial army."
Liu Kai nodded, looked at her, and asked tentatively, "Miss wants to sneak into the prince's side?"
Su Fengnuan nodded, "This matter is directed at the East Palace. After Ye Chang returns to Beijing, even if the emperor sees him, he may not reveal the news that he is fine in the short term. Although the emperor has been weak for many years Wei Wei, but he is not confused. This time, he is afraid that he is going to test the waters with the prince."
Liu Kai looked at Su Fengnuan incomprehensibly, "Your Majesty, test the waters with the prince?"
Su Fengnuan nodded, "The crown prince is the future successor of the Southern Qi Dynasty. If he is always incompetent, how can the emperor rest assured that he will hand over the country to him? What's more, the Xu family is getting stronger day by day, but the queen mother has been bouncing around and interfering in government affairs repeatedly. The emperor has endured for many years, but now he can't bear it anymore. In the emperor's heart, after all, the country is still heavy, the family love is thin, and the relationship between mother and child is exhausted. Now the matter, whether the water is deep or shallow, the emperor has to measure The size is the only way to decide how to deal with it in the next step.”
Liu Kai nodded, looked at Su Fengnuan and asked, "Miss, do you want to help the prince?"
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "I want to mix in with him, and see how deep and shallow the water is here. As for whether to help, it depends on the situation. Now he has only Feng Sheng by his side, but it's hard to handle. It's gone. Am I going to replace Feng Sheng with myself?" After saying that, she shook her head.
Liu Kai thought for a while and said, "If not, Miss got mixed into the Royal Forest Army?"
Su Fengnuan laughed immediately, "The Royal Forest Army has been carefully selected and trained strictly. Since the emperor sent 5,000 Royal Forest Army to follow the prince, the 5,000 Imperial Forest Army is like a solid wall, and there will be no loopholes."
Liu Kai said in a difficult way, "If this is the case, the young lady can only sneak into the place where the prince stays. After the prince entered the city, it is said that he stayed at the county guard's mansion. Although there is no waiter around the prince, the county mansion will always send someone. Now the prince I took people to East Lake, and it is said that East Lake found news about Ye Shizi."
"Huh?" Su Fengnuan raised his eyebrows, "What did you find in East Lake?"
Liu Kaidao, "It's a trick arranged by Young Master Feng to lure the crown prince out of the city, create chaos, and leave the city with Shizi Ye by the way."
Su Fengnuan smiled and said, "It's a pity that Fengyang didn't become a general, but the technique of deploying suspicious soldiers is well arranged." After finishing speaking, she asked, "Where is my mother? She should have arrived in Lingyun Town."
"After Madam came to Lingyun Town, she went directly to East Lake." Liu Kai said.
Su Fengnuan thought for a while, stood up, and said to him, "I'll go see my mother first, and you send someone to monitor the movement around Lingyun Town. As for the matter of the prince, I'll wait until I figure out a countermeasure, and then I'll take care of it." .”
Liu Kai nodded.
Su Fengnuan left the Shenxiang house.
There are no people on the street today, and it is a little deserted.
After being investigated, Su Fengnuan left the city and headed towards the East Lake.
She hadn't gone far when a person chased up from the side and called to her, "Miss Su."
Su Fengnuan stopped in his tracks, turned around, and saw a young man in tight clothes, his clothes were stained with a lot of blood, he looked very embarrassed, his appearance was ordinary, and he couldn't recognize him even if he was placed in a crowd The kind, who was short of breath at this time, obviously came in a hurry, and she asked, "You are?"
The man bowed his hands to her and said anxiously, "In Xialiufeng, the young master and Ye Shizi had an accident, and they encountered a large number of killers. The young master is resisting now and has been seriously injured, especially Ye Shizi's wound is cracked, which is very serious. The matter is critical, luckily it is not far away, the young master is still resisting, ordered me to find the girl immediately to rescue."
After Liufeng finished speaking hastily, he took out the token of Fengyang Bodyguard Agency to prove his identity.
Su Feng raised his eyebrows warmly, "Where did the mass killers come from? Feng Yang took Ye Chang and left without guards?"
Liufeng shook his head, "After the young master and Ye Shizi left the city, they rode two Xueliqing horses and walked through the forest behind Lingyun Temple, where they encountered a large number of killers. The killers were well-trained, vicious and strange. Fengyang Security Bureau Everyone in the house was sent out by the young master to distract Uncle Xiaoguo from investigating, and I didn't expect that there would be a large number of killers suddenly." After finishing speaking, he urged, "Girl, don't delay, hurry up and go with me. The young master is alone Ye Shizi was seriously injured, and the subordinates were afraid that the young master would be hard to resist no matter how good his martial arts were, especially since Ye Shizi's wound had already ruptured before the subordinate came down. And I won't let my subordinates come down to find a girl and hurry up."
Su Fengnuan immediately nodded and said, "Take me there quickly."
Liufeng hurriedly led the way.
At this time, Xu Yunchu's carriage turned back from the East Lake, and happened to see Su Fengnuan follow a person to the direction of the forest behind Lingyun Temple, although it was only a flash, but he could see it clearly, slightly startled, and told the driver, "Stop. "
The driver immediately stopped the car.
Xu Yunchu got out of the carriage, and said to the driver, "Go back first." After saying that, he quickly followed Su Fengnuan's trail.
After Su Fengnuan entered the mountain forest, she noticed that someone was following her. She turned her head and saw only a piece of clothing from the person following, but even a piece of clothing was enough for her to recognize Xu Yunchu's identity. She frowned. Eyebrow, convection air duct, "wait a minute."
"Miss Su?" Liu Feng stopped in his tracks and looked at him suspiciously.
Su Fengnuan said, "Uncle Xiaoguo from Guozhang's Mansion followed up from behind. For some reason, maybe he saw me just now and came to find out. I will set up a formation and create chaos to stop him. I can't let him follow."
Liu Feng glanced back, noticed it at this time, and nodded.
Su Fengnuan raised his hand and chopped down two rows of trees, felling them, and spread them on the ground in a messy manner based on the treetops. After that, she raised her hand and gathered the dead leaves on the ground together with the wind of her palm, took out a flint from her bosom, and ignited the dead leaves on the ground. Suddenly, the dead leaves and green branches were mixed together, and the smoke was billowing before and after burning.
Liu Feng's expression changed, "Miss Su, this will cause a fire and burn down the entire mountain forest."
Su Fengnuan shook his head, "No, after Xu Yunchu arrived, it must be difficult to tell the direction of our departure because of the smoke. If he doesn't want this mountain forest to cause a fire, he will definitely put out the fire. After he puts out the fire, we will chase after him." We'll be too late."
Liu Feng immediately admired her when she heard the words, "Young lady is very resourceful."
Su Fengnuan saw the smoke and fire, and immediately said, "Let's go."
Liu Feng nodded and continued to lead the way.
Xu Yunchu followed to this place, and saw that the place was smoky, and the thick smoke covered the area for a radius of ten feet, and no one could be seen around, and it hurt people's eyes from the choking. He lost his direction for a moment, so he could only stop and look around, covered by thick smoke, there was no trace of Su Fengnuan at all.
He stood there for a while, looking at the dead leaves that were about to burn with the thick smoke. If he ignored them and let them burn, a single spark could start a prairie fire, and this mountain forest would probably burn and cause a big fire. In that case, the consequences would be disastrous. He couldn't help laughing, "What a powerful strategy and formation."
