There are many mountain roads from Baoding to the capital. Among them, Jinji Mountain is their only way, and this mountain road is still very long, and it takes about two quarters of an hour to ride a horse.

Xiang Wen, the deputy commander of the pro-military camp, personally led 200 people to search on both sides of the mountain.

After making sure there was no problem, he came over and said to Luo Yongyi: "Luo Yongyi, the front is safe, we can go." ”

Just as he was about to leave, the third child came over and said to Luo Yongyi: "Commander Luo, Master Fu invites you and General Xiang to go over and talk about important things to tell you." ”

Fu Jingene saw the two of them and asked, "General Xiang, there is no ambush on this mountain road, right?" ”

Xiang Wen shook his head and said, "No, I personally took someone to investigate." There was to be an ambush, I had already found out. ”

He will be able to go to the capital tomorrow, and in the past two days, he has been in good spirits to prevent problems, and he will do everything himself, and he would rather be tired for these two days than have an accident.

Fu Jingene pointed to a location on the map and said, "This is the best ambush point, but don't you think it's suspicious that the other party abandoned it?" ”

Xiang Wen said: "But we have searched this mountain, and we have not found anything abnormal. ”

"That's because they hid it well, we didn't find out."

Xiang Wen vetoed: "Impossible, if they set up an ambush, we can't not be unaware of it at all." Besides, I have left men on the hill to give them a warning if anything is unusual. ”

"Maybe they've had someone poisoned by now."

Luo Yongyi looked at him and said, "Master Fu, if you have any doubts, just say it, as long as it is reasonable, we will send someone to investigate." ”

Fu Jingene didn't go around in circles anymore, and clicked on a location on the map he drew and said, "Commander Luo, you said that if they plant explosives here, they will ignite the explosives when we arrive." By then, do you think we'll be able to escape? ”

Luo Yongyi shook his head and said, "I want to bury us all alive, unless the mountain collapses." But if you want to blow up a mountain, you need a lot of explosives, and the imperial court has always controlled explosives very strictly, and it is impossible to get such a large dose of explosives, even King Xin and King Duan can't do it. ”

Fu Jingene snorted and said, "You're right, but what if these people hollow out this section of the mountain?" ”

Luo Yongyi's face sank.

Xiang Wen felt that he was in the Arabian Nights, and said, "Master Fu, I believe you that these people planted explosives in the middle of the mountain road. But hollowing out the mountain not only requires a lot of manpower, but also takes a long time, and even if they really want to do it, they don't have the conditions. ”

Hollowing out the mountain is a huge project, and it will not be completed in a short period of time.

The two of them would have doubts, which had been expected by Fu Jingen: "What if they had prepared it a long time ago?" Commander Luo, General Xiang, I must remind you. My guess was wrong, it was just a lot of effort to get to the capital half a day late. But if my guess is right, and you don't send someone to investigate, not only me, but everyone present, including Taisun Nei, will die. ”

Luo Yongyi didn't hesitate for a moment, and said to Xiang Wen: "General Xiang, you protect His Royal Highness Taisun, I will send someone to investigate." ”

Although Xiang Wen didn't believe Fu Jingene's judgment, he also adhered to a cautious attitude, so he would rather delay for a while to ensure the safety of the grandson and everyone.

Time passed little by little, but the people led by Luo Yongyi had not returned, and Xiang Wen's heart gradually sank.

"Master Fu, do you think that Luo Tonghui will not be in danger?"

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "Don't worry, as long as you have precautions, they will not be ambushed by Commander Luo." ”

Half an hour later, Luo Yongyi returned, but only half of the people who came back with him were brought out.

Xiang Wen looked at the dust on his body, and his heart jumped and asked, "Commander Luo, they really won't hollow out the mountain, right?" ”

Luo Yongyi said: "I didn't hollow out the mountain, only hollowed out one hillside in the middle of the road. Then we planted explosives in it and set it on fire when we got underneath. If their plan succeeds, most of us will be buried under the mountain. ”

Xiang Wen held the sword in his hand and said, "How long have these people been planning?" ”

Luo Yongyi returned to his question: "We have already caught all the people who were ambushed there, and according to the people who led them, they started digging in July last year. However, they used the method of ants moving, digging up a pile of dirt and carrying it away in a horse-drawn cart at night. ”

That's the same, so even the people of Flying Fish Guard didn't find out, mainly because no one thought that someone would have nothing to do to dig the mountain.

Xiang Wen also thought of this, and said with a blushing face: "Commander Luo, you must find out the people behind the scenes." ”

This kind of vicious method can be imagined, and if this person is not removed, it will definitely bring disaster to the court and the people.

Commander Luo snorted and said, "If you don't say it, I will also find out the people behind the scenes." ”

Xiang Wen is a very upright person, and he apologized to Fu Jingene generously: "Master Fu, I was a little rushed to speak just now, and I hope you don't mind." ”

No wonder he was able to bring Taisun to Baoding by himself, and few people can compare to this meticulous mind.

Fu Jingene said with a smile: "No, I know that General Xiang is not right about things." ”

Xiang Wen laughed when he heard this, and said, "Master Fu, you can be regarded as saving my life this time, and I will invite you to drink when I return to the capital." ”

"Okay."

When walking this mountain road, Xiang Wen's whole body tensed, and he was afraid that if something went wrong, Chishan would suddenly collapse and bury them underneath. It doesn't matter if he dies, but the grandson can't have an accident.

The news here soon spread to the capital.

The eldest princess told Gao Shoufu and the others about this very calmly, and after she finished speaking, her eyes narrowed: "I started preparing a year ago, which shows that the person behind the scenes started planning this matter a year ago." ”

It's chilling to think about.

In fact, she didn't approve of Taisun going out of Beijing to worship the heavens at that time, because it was too dangerous. But Taisun insisted, saying that these people were planning to think that he would have something to do when he left Beijing, and even if he escaped the trap this time, he would not be able to escape next time. I have to say that it turns out that Yao Bei is right.

Yu Shangshu took the initiative to ask Ying to investigate the case.

The eldest princess nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you." Yu Shangshu, you must find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and when you catch him, you will cut him with a thousand knives. ”

Thinking of the tragic appearance of the eunuch being chopped alive before, the officials present couldn't help but shudder.

After a conversation, the eldest princess asked Gao Shoufu and them to go down. The eldest princess is only responsible for the stability of the capital, and as for the government affairs, it has been changed from Zhu Batch to Blue Batch, which is handled by Gao Shoufu and the six Shangshu. This is also to prevent Gao Shoufu from monopolizing power, and it will be difficult to solve the problem in the future.

The eldest princess entered the palace and said to the emperor who was lying on the dragon bed and couldn't move: "Yao Bei has already passed Jinji Mountain, and he will be able to go to Beijing tomorrow, but his leg is injured and needs to be recuperated for a while." ”

When the emperor heard this, he looked at him with a blank eye.

The eldest princess put his hand back into the brocade quilt and said softly, "Your Majesty, you can recuperate in peace." With me, there will be no chaos in the court, and Yao Bei will be fine. ”
