Chapter 149: Many people are powerful

Huan Yu smiled lightly when he heard something in Fengsheng's words.

Although they are both vassal kings, the status of King Rong's lineage in His Majesty's mind is far beyond that of King Guangling.

Nominally, King Guangling stayed in the palace to treat his injuries. In fact, His Majesty wanted to punish him on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to protect him, so he was placed under house arrest in the palace.

But the Crown Prince Rong was different. He was not allowed to run around, and the purpose was just to prevent him from taking revenge on King Guangling.

On the surface, it seems that King Guangling has the upper hand. After all, if he continues to live in the palace, sooner or later the Queen Mother's supplements will make up for his problems.

But once he leaves the palace, it is equivalent to giving up His Majesty's protection for him.

By then, whether it is Prince Rong or the Xiao family, it will not be easy to deal with him.

I think the excitement that Fengsheng refers to is exactly this.

"Has King Guangling been beaten?"

Fengshou and Sang Pu were both old men who had served him for more than ten years, but they were still a little surprised.

"Master, have you really never heard anyone say this?"

Huan Yu shook his head: "I have been very busy in the past month. How can I have time to care about such trivial matters in Beijing?"

Sang Pu said: "As the saying goes, one learns from every experience. King Guangling has been under house arrest for more than a month, and his brain is much brighter than before.

After leaving the palace, he planned to return to Guangling County immediately.

Unexpectedly, a thief broke into the palace that night. Not only did they make off with a lot of gold and silver, but they also broke Prince Guangling's right leg.

As a result, King Guangling will no longer be able to return to Guangling County."

Huan Yu said with a smile: "The thief is quite obedient. There are many valuable items in the palace, but he only wants gold and silver."

Fengshou said: "I guess he is a habitual thief. Although there are many items in the palace that are more valuable than gold and silver, it is inevitable that people will find traces when selling the stolen goods, so he only wants gold and silver."

Sang Pu added: "The Guangling Prince's family has a great business, so it is not a big deal if someone steals a little gold and silver.

But being able to sneak into the palace, injure the prince, and escape unharmed, looking at the entire Wei Dynasty, there are not many people with this ability."

Huan Yu said: "You also missed one point. It is true that the thief is sober-minded and highly skilled in martial arts. What is even more eye-catching is his identity.

The scale of the Guangling Palace in the capital cannot be compared with that of the Guangling County Palace, but it is certainly not comparable to ordinary palaces.

If the thief was not familiar with the terrain of the palace, how could he have been able to hit him with one blow and escape unscathed?"

Sang Pu said: "No wonder the rumors in Beijing say that this matter was either done by someone sent by Crown Prince Rong or by the Xiao family."

Fengshou also said: "Master, what do you think?"

"What do I think is the use?" Huan Yu laughed: "I am not an official of Dali Temple or the Ministry of Punishment. Besides, it concerns the royal family, so it is even more inappropriate to speculate randomly."

Fengshou muttered in a low voice: "There have been many people in Beijing speculating about this matter recently... I don't think it was done by Prince Rong, but it doesn't seem like it was done by the Xiao family either."

Huan Yu said: "Of course it can't be done by the Xiao family. The Xiao family has always acted openly and aboveboard. If they wanted to teach King Guangling a lesson, they would never use such despicable means.

Okay, it’s not our turn to worry about these things, but you two, have you planned when to return to the capital?”

Sang Pu and Fengshou said in unison: "Whenever you come back, we will come back."

Huan Yu said: "I'm afraid this won't work, because I will leave for Yiyang County with the princess early tomorrow morning."

"Yiyang County?" The two boys said in unison: "What are you going to do there?"

"Don't ask about this matter. Now that you've come to Yanmen County, don't be idle. Go with my grandfather's people to handle the matter of handing over the horses.

After they set off, you two will return to the capital immediately."

Sang Pu looked at the harvest, and both of them were a little reluctant.

"What's wrong, can't you understand what I'm saying?" Huan Yu asked, frowning.

"No..." Fengshou said boldly: "The little ones have never been separated from me in these years. In the past month, I have really been unable to eat or sleep. I have been worried about you..."

"Then what do you mean? Do you want to go to Yiyang County with me?"

The two boys nodded together: "Please take us with you. We promise not to cause any trouble!"

"This is not a question of whether to cause trouble or not. The princess has important things to do in Yiyang County. I am just going to be her helper."

Sang Pu said: "Then let's ask the princess. She is a good talker and will definitely not refuse."

Fengshou also echoed: "That is, although the two of us are not very good at it, there is still no problem in running errands."

Huan Yu shrugged: "It's up to you. The most important thing now is to go to the kitchen and serve the food. You're not hungry, but I am."

Seeing that he did not refuse, the two boys happily went to the kitchen.

Not long after lunch, Xiao Bi came.

Sang Pu and Harvest were overjoyed.

They were about to go to the princess to ask for help, but she actually took the initiative to send them to their door.

The two of them greeted Xiao Bi very warmly and told them their plan to go to Yiyang County together.

"You want to go to Yiyang County?" Xiao Bi was a little reluctant.

In her opinion, the skills of these two boys were too ordinary, not much better than Qingzhao and Yingshui.

If you take them with you, the two maids will have to fight if they can't be together.

Although all four of them can ride horses and endure hardships, there are many people and things to do, so their speed will inevitably be greatly reduced.

However, this trip is to investigate a case, and it seems there is no harm in having a few more helpers.

There is strength in numbers!

Huan Yu winked at the two of them, and then said to Xiao Bi: "Xiaojiu came to see me now, is it about Liang Ruoru?"

Xiao Bi slapped her forehead: "It's all my fault that Sang Pu and Fengshou chatted with me as soon as I walked in, causing me to forget all the important things."

Sang Pu and Fengshou didn't dare to talk too much, they stood aside honestly.

Xiao Bi smiled at the two of them and continued: "I was eating just now when the soldier guarding Liang Ruoru came to report that he wanted to talk to me and specifically asked you to come with him."

Huan Yu smiled and said: "He actually wants to go with us! Time is tight, let's go and take a look."

Xiao Bi said to Sang Pu and Fengshou: "For the sake of your loyalty, I promise to take you with me.

But the ugly words are ahead. If anyone can’t hold on and wants to back out..."

Sang Pu and Fengshou hurriedly bowed and said, "If you guys drag the princess back, I'll let you handle it!"

Xiao Bi said: "I will ask Brother Huan to remember this for you, and no one is allowed to deny it."

"Yes." The two boys wished they could kneel down to show their loyalty to her.

Huan Yu pursed his lips and smiled happily.

Xiaojiu pretended to be his servant before, but now that the real servant is here, what else can she pretend to be?
