Gu Weiyi originally planned to go to Mianxi with Xia Chu. On the one hand, he secretly hoped that he would go see Gu Xingyun, and on the other hand, he also wanted to take the opportunity to ride the Blazing Wings.
This horse has a very strong temper. Gu Weiyi has had many thoughts during these days, but he has never been able to succeed. He originally thought that with Xia Chu by his side, he might be able to experience this BMW.
I never thought that what he refused was clean.
But precisely because of this, Gu Weiyi also felt a little uneasy. Xia Chu left in such a hurry. It seemed that the fighting situation at Fengwu was not good.
During these days, he focused on training the Gu Jiajun. Fengwu was too far away, and the news he could receive was only a little bit.
In addition, the battlefield was already changing a lot. By the time he received the news, Fengwu might have turned into some other battle situation.
Therefore, he didn't know much about the situation at Fengwu. Before that, he just had a vague feeling that with General Zhao in charge there, there should be no mistakes.
Now, seeing Xia Chu looking so impatient, I'm afraid something is really wrong.
In early summer, when horses were galloping towards Fengwu, the Marquis arranged for Wugetai, the fifth prince of the Mongolian people, to quietly take Aodenge Rile out of the capital.
The reason why he left the capital quietly was because people inside and outside the palace were mourning the news of Zhao Xingwen's death. After much thought, the Marquis could not find an honest reason.
In the end, he had no choice but to talk to Xiao Zimu in advance.
On the surface, Xiang Chengfang was asked to announce that Aodengerile, who was in Ci'an Palace, was suffering from an infectious disease. In this case, no one could keep close supervision, and Aodengerile had to wear a mask to isolate himself.
Secretly, he moved her out and replaced her with a masked person. In this way, she was secretly moved out and handed over to Wu Getai who left Beijing overnight to avoid any changes.
Therefore, Wugetai and Aodengelile disguised themselves, and the Marquis sent a team of people to escort them, and they also rushed towards the closure of the dock.
As for Xiao Mubai, who had no news, he did not go to Fengwu with his raven. Instead, he temporarily changed his plan before leaving and entered Hu State through Yuxia, a border city between Liang State and Hu State.
He drove all the way, not to Hanyang, but to Xinling City, the capital of King Hu.
The reason why Xiao Mubai changed his mind temporarily was because he went to Jingyang Palace before leaving the palace, met with the seventh prince concubine Hu Zhijing, and asked her whether the recent correspondence with King Hu was still normal.
Hu Zhijing recalled it and found nothing wrong. It was just some ordinary family letters, so she took them out and gave them to Xiao Mubai to read.
After Xiao Mubai took it, he put King Hu's recent family letters in front of his nose and smelled it, and found something wrong. He took a few more past family letters and sniffed them together, and then turned his face to Hu Zhijing. Said: "I'm afraid King Hu has also been restrained."
Hu Zhijing was stunned by his series of actions and asked suspiciously: "What do you mean by this?"
"I have been participating in hunts in the eastern suburbs of the two countries for several years. I once accidentally learned that King Hu had emphasized martial arts and neglected writing since he was a child. He was very unhappy with pen and ink documents. Later, when he succeeded to the throne, he could not avoid having to review memorials. The envoys Zhan Tairui once mentioned to me with vague pride that in order to make King Hu not dislike the smell of ink ingots, he ordered people to add exotic fragrance from the Western Regions and specially made King Hu's exclusive inkstone."
Xiao Mubai handed the two letters to Hu Zhijing, and she tried to smell it. The fragrance was very light. If Xiao Mubai hadn't mentioned it, who would have noticed this detail.
"Isn't this too arbitrary?" Hu Zhijing didn't know that Xiao Mubai had an amazing sense of smell. It would be too far-fetched to conclude that King Hu was controlled by others based on this alone.
Xiao Mubai smiled and said nothing, spread the two letters in her hand on the table, turned around and brought a cup of tea, Hu Zhijing only had time to say, "Eh?" With a sound, Xiao Mubai poured the tea on it, and the handwriting on the recent family letter on the table instantly blurred.
"What are you doing..." Before Hu Zhijing finished speaking, he saw that the handwriting on another early family letter on the table was still clear and not blurry.
"The ink ingots used by King Hu are specially made..." Xiao Mubai didn't need to say any more, and Hu Zhijing completely understood and believed what he meant.
Xiao Mubai discussed with her whether King Hu had come to the eastern suburbs last year to hunt, and whether any of the princes would be severely punished when he returned. After careful consideration, Hu Zhijing felt that if there was really any objection, the most likely person would be the third prince Hu Zongxuan.
She informed Xiao Mu about the layout of Baihu's palace, gave him a token arrow, and arranged for him to enter Xinling City, the royal capital, to find Cang Zhen, the master who taught her riding and archery since childhood.
After Xiao Mubai arrived at Xinling, he went to find Cang Zhen. After gaining his trust, he asked about the current situation of King Hu's palace.
Although Cang Zhen is Wang Si's riding and archery master, he is only a foreign minister after all, and cannot spy on King Hu's real situation. In his opinion, there is not much turmoil in King Hu's palace.
If there is something strange, it is the sudden order to attack Han Yang more than a month ago, which is puzzling.
There is also the second prince Hu Zongming, whom he has not seen for a while.
Xiao Mubai pretended to be his attendant and entered the palace with him, while Raven hid in the darkness. When he came out, he asked Raven to stay with Cang Zhen, while he quietly lurked in the palace.
Because of this, he never corresponded with Xia Chu again.
Xiao Mubai found Hu Zongming's residence according to the map drawn by Hu Zhijing, and then sneaked into King Hu's palace. In the Hu country, he had no power, no power, and no one. He had to rely on the Hu family and his son to bring order to the chaos. .
Fortunately, King Hu had always insisted on not registering an imperial edict. When he discovered that Hu Zongxian had rebelled, although he had no time to quell the palace rebellion, he wrote a letter in his own hand and gave it to the imperial physician Hu Yanhua who came to ask for a pulse that day.
King Hu used this to blackmail Hu Zongxuan. If he and Hu Zongming died in the palace, the handwritten letter would tell the world.
At that time, when Hu Zongxuan ascends the throne, he will be held accountable by hundreds of officials, criticized by thousands of people, and despised by thousands of people.
Therefore, although Hu Zongxuan was angry and kept King Hu under strict supervision, he did not kill the king or his brother. He was somewhat polite to King Hu, but Hu Zongming could not help but suffer some physical pain.
Although Hu Zongming was under house arrest in the palace, as the most valued prince of King Hu, he naturally had supporters in the court.
At present, although these people speculate that King Hu is wrong and Hu Zongming is in trouble, they have no real evidence and no one dares to question the third prince Hu Zongxuan in a high-sounding manner.
Xiao Mubai met with Cang Zhen on time every day. According to King Hu's secret order, he asked him to find the missing imperial physician Hu Yanhua. After finding him, he arranged for ravens to protect him personally and went to meet the courtiers who supported Hu Zongming one by one.
Now that Xiao Mubai is doing these things, he feels that they are easy to do and he is extremely familiar with them...
