A group of people went out of the secret passage and came to an iron gate.
Chu Han stretched out his hand and pressed the pull ring of the iron door, and the pull ring made a crisp sound like a wind chime, which was very pleasant to the ear.
After the pull ring rang, Shan Zhuo's deep and vigilant voice came from the other side of the iron gate, "Who?"
Chu Han took a breath, lowered his voice and said, "It's me."
Shan Zhuo's surprised voice sounded, "Second Prince?"
Chu Han let out a "hmm".
Shan Zhuo immediately rushed to the iron gate, pulled the switch, and opened the iron gate.
Because it was evening, a bit late, Shan Zhuo was wearing a single shirt ready to go to sleep. After opening the iron door, he saw Chu Han and others who had changed their faces. He was startled, and said to Chu Han uncertainly, "Two ... the prince?"
Chu Han looked at Shan Zhuo, "It's me."
Shan Zhuo looked at him, and then at the people behind him, "You are..."
Chu Han glanced back and said to him, "Is it convenient to come into your room and talk?"
By implication, can it be safe
Shan Zhuo woke up immediately, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk in the secret room!"
Chu Han nodded and took a step back.
Shan Zhuo followed Chu Han into the secret room, and closed the iron door of the secret room with his hands.
Seeing that Shan Zhuo was still the same as before, Chu Han didn't show any estrangement towards him, so he calmed down a little and said to him, "Now that the whole city is under martial law, isn't your Shan mansion safe? What happened?"
Shan Zhuo sighed and said, "It's hard to say."
Chu Han could guess how much, and asked, "Is it my father who is not good?"
Shan Zhuo looked at Chu Han, he still referred to the King of Northern Zhou as his father, just like before, he was not sure if he knew about Concubine Yue Gui and Concubine Xiao Xian’s changing sons and raised him, and asked him tentatively, "Second Prince, do you know what happened in the capital?"
Chu Han shook his head.
Seeing him shaking his head, Shan Zhuo didn't know whether to tell him or not, he hesitated.
Seeing his expression, Chu Han immediately understood, pursed his lips and said, "I know about Concubine Yue Gui and Concubine Xiao Xian's changing sons and raising them."
Shan Zhuo looked at him speechlessly, and sighed again.
Chu Han has seen a lot these days, and said to him, "I have experienced ups and downs in my life, but I am not so unbearable. At the moment I knew it, I wanted to die, but after all Not reconciled. Now, when I go back to Northern Zhou, I just want to know why Concubine Xiao Xian and Concubine Yue had different sons in the first place?"
Shan Zhuo heard the words, "I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen." After saying that, he shook his head, "Now the emperor has fallen into a coma, the court and the public, and the virtuous concubine controls the court. I received your letter, and I was going to send someone to I went to welcome you back to the capital, but I didn't expect that just after I received your letter, people from the concubine Xian came and blocked my general's mansion. No one in the Shan mansion is allowed to enter or leave. In a hurry, I forced my way Going out and entering the palace, Concubine Xian saw me and told me in private that you are not the emperor's own son, but the second prince of Nanqi. The real prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty is now in the palace of Nanqi. I was shocked and said to Concubine Xian Impossible, but she smiled and said to me, how could it be impossible for the child she adopted with Concubine Yue herself? That day, I don’t even remember how I returned to the mansion in a daze.”
Chu Han felt chilled for a moment, and said, "What does she want to do? Now the capital is under martial law for a hundred miles, is it to prevent me from returning to the Northern Zhou Dynasty?"
Shan Zhuo said, "Since you were sent to Southern Qi to be a hostage, the king's health has deteriorated day by day. None of the princes can support the court, so the concubine Xian came forward to supervise the country on behalf of the king. Our Northern Zhou Dynasty It has a high status for women. The virtuous concubine has been known to everyone for many years. In order to support the court, no courtiers objected. Therefore, the concubine has taken control of the government since then. Now, the emperor has been in a coma for several days. The day has come, Concubine Xian looks soft, but she is very firm and decisive in matters of government affairs. She has dealt with several major events and disasters in several counties and counties one after another, and she is very convinced by the courtiers. Now, the court and the public all listen to Concubine Xian of."
Chu Han was silent.
Shan Zhuo said, "She didn't say anything about your return to the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Since I rushed out to question her that day, I have been under house arrest in the General's Mansion, and the Imperial Guards are outside. I can't get out, and now I can't get out." Without news from the outside, even less news from the palace. Therefore, I don’t know what Concubine Xian thinks."
Chu Han was silent.
Shan Zhuo said to him, "Even if the second prince comes to me now, he can't get out of the Shan mansion, and he can't enter the palace. Unless..."
Chu Han looked at him, "Unless what?"
Shan Zhuo said, "Unless you change your face, reveal your identity, walk out of my gate, and invite you to enter the palace directly. But in this way, you will be exposed. If the concubine Xian is not good for you, it is not good gone."
Shan Zhuo looked back at Ye Chang, Su Fengnuan and the others, and asked, "What should I do?"
Shan Zhuo had already seen a few people, because they were all disguised, he couldn't identify who they were, and he didn't speak for a while, but now seeing Chu Han turning around to ask, he said, "Who are..."
Su Fengnuan smiled first, and said shallowly, "General Shan, please stay safe."
Shan Zhuo was shocked, "Su Fengnuan?"
Su Fengnuan smiled and nodded.
Shan Zhuo looked at her in surprise, "You came to Bei Zhou?"
Su Fengnuan smiled and said, "The one who accompanied the second prince also wanted to understand the matter of Concubine Yue Gui and Concubine Xiao Xian. After all, it is not about your own family in Northern Zhou Dynasty, but also about our Southern Qi."
Shan Zhuo was speechless for a moment, then looked at the others.
Su Fengnuan introduced him in turn, "Ye Chang, Ye Xi, Su Qing, Feng Yang, Qian Han, He Zhi, and the other six are the guards of Prince Rong'an's residence."
Ye Chang smiled, "I've heard the name of General Shan for a long time, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Su Qing said, "At first, I was worried that when I came to you, you would betray him regardless of the relationship with the second prince in the past. I didn't expect to find that you can't protect yourself when you come here. This single mansion is like a cage."
Shan Zhuo looked at the crowd, dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that not only Chu Han returned to Beizhou by himself, but also brought several famous people with him. Ye Chang, the son of Prince Rong An, Ye Xi, the son of the Ye family in the south of the Yangtze River, Su Qing, the third son of General Su's mansion, Feng Yang, the young master of the Fengyang Bodyguard Bureau. Unexpectedly, they gathered in his single mansion all of a sudden. He was momentarily speechless.
Su Fengnuan smiled and said, "We originally escorted the second prince to the western border, got the evidence of my Southern Qi people's collusion with the enemy and traitorous country, and went back to deal with them. I didn't expect to know such a thing of changing sons and raising them after arriving in the western border In addition, the news of the second prince's return was sent to Bei Zhou, but Bei Zhou has remained quiet, so we will accompany him to find out."
Shan Zhuo calmed down, and said, "I also want to know what the concubine Xian thinks. Such a thing, the exchange of different princes between the two countries is really a ridiculous thing in the world. If it is made public and recorded in the annals of history, whether it is official history , or unofficial history, will be generous. It is necessary to ask the truth. But it is useless for you to enter my single mansion, if you cannot get out, you will not be able to see Concubine Xiao Xian."
Su Fengnuan looked at him, "How many imperial guards are there outside your mansion?"
Shan Zhuo said, "Two thousand people."
Su Fengnuan heard the words, "Not many."
Shan Zhuo sighed, "Although there are not many, I can't force my way out again. Concubine Xian spared me last time. If I break in again this time, I will be punished."
Su Fengnuan said, "I'm not letting you break in, I have my own way."
Shan Zhuo looked at her, "Please tell me, girl, what method do you want to use? My place is like a place where beasts are trapped."
Su Feng said warmly, "How many days has the imperial guards besieged you?"
Shan Zhuo said, "It's been almost half a month."
Su Fengnuan said, "For half a month, you have been fine here. Although they are guarding you, the discipline must have been loose. Later we will go out and secretly arrest a few guards, disguised as guards It looks like you are out of your single mansion."
Shan Zhuo was stunned, "Arrest how many Imperial Guards? Yi Rongcheng Imperial Guards leave the house?"
Su Fengnuan smiled and nodded, "It doesn't take much effort."
Su Qing immediately said, "I am the best at arresting people, leave this to me."
Feng Yang said, "You move slowly by yourself, and I'm included."
Shan Zhuo was speechless, and said, "Miss Su still has a way. With the martial arts of a few of you, if you secretly capture a few guards and disguise them, you can still do it easily. This is a good way." A few people said, "You wait here first, I will go out to make some arrangements first, remove the eyeliner of Concubine Xian in my mansion, and replace it with my people to wait outside, you can also go out of the darkroom to my room to tidy up .”
Su Fengnuan nodded, "Okay, please trouble General Shan."
Shan Zhuo said, "Although the second prince is no longer the second prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Shan Mou has been friends with the second prince for many years. Now that the two countries have diplomatic relations, even if they can't return to the past as friends, they are not enemies."
Chu Han was moved, and waved to him, "Go!"
Shan Zhuo went out of the secret room to make arrangements.
After he closed the iron door, Su Qing whispered, "He won't report the news, will he? Surely Concubine Xiao Xian's house arrest in the mansion is a pretense, but she is actually letting him sit on the sidelines and wait for us to fall into the trap."
Su Fengnuan laughed, "Third brother, Shan Zhuo is a military general, and he doesn't have the cunning of so many literati. You learned the cunning from your grandfather and the prime minister. You went around the Eastern Realm, and even learned the twists and turns. Now there are really more and more of them.”
Su Qing coughed, and reached out to knock Su Fengnuan on the head, "Stinky girl, if you weren't my sister, if you weren't pregnant with my nephew, would I be worried about a bird? You have no conscience!"
