When they were approaching the camp in the eastern suburbs, Wen Jinhe stopped and said to Man Qiu: "Go back and call a carriage first. Just say that I accidentally twisted my foot."
If you carry someone back like this, someone will definitely notice.
"Yes." Man Qiu nodded and quickly ran towards Wen Jinhe's camp.
The guards guarding outside the camp became suspicious when they saw that only Man Qiu had returned.
Look at the sun, it's time for the princess to come back.
"Princess accidentally sprained her foot, hitch the carriage, and someone will come with me to pick her up." The people guarding outside Wen Jinhe's tent were all people from Prince Che's palace. They were Li Junche's confidants and could be trusted.
As soon as he heard that Wen Jinhe sprained his foot, the guard immediately got into the car and left with Man Qiu.
After the carriage entered the woods, the guard driving the car saw Wen Jinhe and his party standing in a corner not far away, their lower bodies covered by trees.
This place is very close to the eastern suburbs camp, and it can be carried by servants. Why did you go back to call a carriage?
The first time he saw the man in black lying on the ground.
Seeing Wen Jinhe's neat legs and feet, the guard was a little shocked. The carriage was not for the princess, but for the injured man.
Zhao Bi and He Shi carried Lu Yebai into the carriage. Wen Jinhe, Man Qiu and Man Dong sat in the carriage.
The carriage stopped at the entrance of Wen Jinhe's tent, and with the surrounding fence blocking it, Lu Yebai was quietly carried into the tent.
Doctor Zhou immediately treated Lu Yebai.
Wen Jinhe noticed Hong An's pursed lips and nervous expression. Do they know each other?
At the foot of the mountain ridge where Lu Yebai was found, a group of more than thirty masked men wearing dark gray clothes were searching the surrounding area.
"Lieutenant Song, the blood stains disappeared here. If a person escaped alone, there should be traces of blood dripping. There are also footsteps of other people around. They should have been rescued."
Deputy Lieutenant Song, who was holding a knife, squatted down, reached out and dipped some white powder that fell on the ground, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, "It's a good gold medicine. Follow the footsteps. The Marquis ordered that Lu Yebai must not To live, one must be silenced.”
Li Junche, together with the emperor and all civil and military officials, had finished inspecting the eastern suburbs camp and were on their way back to the camp.
Murong Nie followed beside him, "Your Majesty, have you seen Prince Heng's attitude today? Although his eyes were smiling, the corners of his mouth were not raised."
The soldiers in the eastern suburbs camp were very good in terms of military appearance and training. The emperor was very satisfied. No wonder Li Yuheng was unhappy.
"Why does Zhao Bi look a little serious?" Murong Nie pointed at Zhao Bi who was walking quickly in front of him. Wasn't he staying next to the princess?
Li Junche frowned slightly. Could it be that something happened to Jinhe when he entered the mountain? Bitten by something poisonous?
He was about to ask.
Zhao Bi leaned into Li Junche's ear and whispered, "Lu Yebai was seriously injured and is now in the princess's tent."
A flash of surprise and gloom flashed in Li Junche's eyes. The news he investigated at that time was that Wen Xinhou led an army of 30,000 to attack the gate of the ghost mansion. Lu Yebai was seriously injured and fell off the cliff.
Unexpectedly, the man was not dead and even ran into the territory of Beidi Kingdom.
Zhao Bi continued: "The people who are chasing Lu Yebai may still be in the mountains and forests. We left in a hurry and did not have time to destroy the traces."
Li Junche turned his head and looked at Murong Nie, "You lead a team of people to patrol the mountains and forests in the name of security inspection, and ask Zhao Bi to show you the way."
Murong Nie didn't know what happened yet, so he could only listen to Zhao Bi's explanation on the way, "Yes."
When Li Junche entered the camp, there was a strong smell of blood, and it seemed that he was seriously injured.
Wen Jinhe immediately stepped forward to explain to Li Junche.
"I know, Zhao Bi just told me to rest in my tent tonight and leave this place to them." Li Junche took Wen Jinhe's hand and led him out of the tent.
Wen Jinhe walked with a limp and whispered: "I just pretended to have a sprained foot to bring him back."
Li Junche stopped, bent down and reached out to pick up Wen Jinhe, "What about Spring Hunt? Are you not going to play?"
Wen Jinhe put her arms around Li Junche's neck and looked up at his face, "It's okay. Just say it's a minor injury. It'll be fine tomorrow."
Li Junche's camp is very simple. The only advantage may be that it is large. "I have sent Zhao Bi and Murong Nie to deal with the people who are chasing Lu Yebai. After the martial arts competition tomorrow, they will go to the royal hunting ground the day after tomorrow. Then let Zhou The doctor and the others will take Lu Yebai back to the palace first."
"Lu Yebai? You mean the injured man?" Wen Jinhe tilted his head and stared at Li Junche in confusion.
Li Junche put a fox fur coat on Wen Jinhe's body. The decoration in his tent was simple. Even the couch was only covered with a layer of fur. "Lu Yebai is the son of Wu'an Marquis who was exterminated in Linyue Kingdom, and he is also Hong'an's brother."
Wen Jinhe raised his eyebrows in surprise, "No wonder, I think Hong An's expression is not right, he looks very nervous. Marquis Wu An? Never heard of it."
Li Junche slowly explained to Wen Jinhe, "Five years ago, Marquis Wu An was defeated on the border battlefield with 120,000 troops by Wei Ming, the general who only had 50,000 troops. He lost two-thirds of his troops. Afterwards, he was imprisoned." The Emperor of the Yue Kingdom urgently recalled them, and not long after, all the thirty-two members of the Wu'an Hou Mansion were beheaded by the order of the Emperor of the Linyue Kingdom, Wen Yan, on the charge of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. "
Wen Jinhe frowned, "Since we are exterminating the nine tribes, why are Lu Yebai and Hong An still alive?"
Li Junche shook his head, "I don't know what happened back then. More than a month ago, Wen Xinhou led 30,000 soldiers and horses into the Jianghu Sect's Guifu Gate, and Lu Yebai was the master of the Guifu Gate. I thought He has fallen off a cliff and died."
Wen Jinhe asked curiously: "Did Marquis Wu An really collaborate with the enemy back then?"
Li Junche's expression looked a little heavy as he recalled what happened that year, "No, the Wu'an Hou Mansion should have been a victim of the struggle for power in the Linyue Kingdom. At that time, although Wei Ming only had 50,000 troops, the 100,000 troops led by me guarded the Although the distance from the rear is not particularly close, support can be provided at any time. The geographical conditions on the battlefield at that time were unfavorable to Marquis Wu An, so he delayed the fight. "
"Not long after, General Zhenguo led his people into the Gobi, and the first battle broke out between the two sides. The army led by my king had already been ambushing at a high place, and dealt a fatal blow to the opponent at the fiercest moment. Marquis Wu'an's troops and horses were lost. However, later, the news came from Linyue Kingdom that there were less than 10,000 soldiers left in Wu'anhou's army. I don't know how the other 10,000 people died. ”
Wen Jinhe looked at Li Junche. It seemed that he admired the Marquis of Wu'an quite a lot. Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country was a serious crime, otherwise Li Zhilin would not have been demoted to a commoner and imprisoned for life.
But even if the people of Beidi Kingdom knew that Marquis Wu An was not a collaborator, they would not tell Linyue Kingdom.
After all, it is a good thing for them to get rid of a brave and capable enemy general without spending a single soldier. "When did you know that Hong An was Lu Yebai's younger brother?"
