Chapter 227 (1/2)
Bian Zhao propped up his body and saw the nervousness on Zhao Xingwen's face. He comforted him first: ”Your Highness is still safe and sound. General Zhao, don't worry first.”
Zhao Xingwen felt a little calm and paced to the bedside. He helped Bian Zhao pad a soft pillow to make him more comfortable. Then he asked him, ”what happened?”
”On the morning of leaving ancient Anhui, I followed his highness on the way back to Beijing. On the way, I saw his highness pick up a man from a farmer and get on the carriage.” Bian Zhao stopped here.
At this time, Zhao Xingwen asked at the exit, ”who's next?”
”It is Zheng Zhongguang who has disappeared in recent days.” Bian Zhaoyuan thought that after he finished, Su Qian'an and Zhao Xingwen would be surprised. As a result, they just looked at each other and expressed each other. They didn't know whose eyes this person was.
Seeing their appearance, Bian Zhao asked them with a surprised look: ”don't you know what happened after your highness came to Guwan?”
Su Qian'an and Zhao Xingwen shook their heads together. Zhao Xingwen asked Bian Zhao, ”what should we know?”
”Why did the young master ask you to come?” Bian Zhao looked puzzled.
He thought the young master had a clever plan. Knowing that his highness would encounter an ambush, he sent General Zhao here.
Who knows what they look like, but they don't know at all.
”At the beginning of summer, I was asked to pick up your highness and return to Beijing. It was said that there was an old friend in ancient Anhui who could let your highness arrange to meet.” Zhao Xingwen frowned because what he said in the letter was not urgent.
Therefore, he had passed Huo Wenshu's hairpin ceremony in Beijing and just set off to come.
Who knows, in ancient Anhui, the situation will be like this.
”Then I'd better start with you from the beginning.” Seeing that they really knew nothing, Bian Zhao began to talk about it after Xiao Zimu came to Guwan.
When he finally finished the whole process, Zhao Xingwen reacted and asked him in surprise, ”didn't Zheng Zhongguang abscond? How could his highness receive him in the carriage?”
”I didn't know at that time. When I saw his face, I had the same doubts as you. But I'm just a dark guard. The task entrusted to me by the young master is only to deliver letters. Your highness also ordered me to follow them on the road unless he summoned me.” Bian Zhao paused.
Xu Shi has just explained too many things about ancient Anhui in one breath, and some of them are unstable.
Seeing this, Su Qian'an poured a glass of water and handed it to him to moisten his throat.
Bian Zhao took the tea cup and said after drinking it: ”when I followed his highness and they crossed the mountain, it was late and the carriage stopped by the official road. I felt an extremely strong killing intention around me. When my heart was tight, I heard a command, and the people in ambush in the grass rushed out in an instant. There were about 10000 people in the dark and vast area.”
”More than 10000 people are soldiers?” Zhao Xingwen's face was dignified.
According to Bian Zhao, these people were premeditated early in the morning. Otherwise, where would more than 10000 people be needed to assassinate your highness?
I'm afraid I knew that the emperor's hidden guards were protecting your highness in the dark.
So many people will be dispatched. Make sure you hit it with one blow.
But if more than 10000 people are soldiers, they should be recorded, and the mobilization of manpower should be able to find out.
”Although they are wearing green clothes suitable for hiding in the color of grass, and have not worn any objects with identity marks, they are obviously experienced soldiers according to their well-trained actions and strict attitude of executing orders.” Bian Zhao nodded at Zhao Xingwen.
In his judgment, it can't be a reckless man.
Zhao Xingwen listened to his words, but his eyebrows were deeply wrinkled.
It's difficult to find out which army it is, but it should be the army in Wanzhou.
It is urgent to rescue your highness first and investigate slowly.
”How did you get out of danger? Where is your highness now?” Zhao Xingwen looked puzzled.
