Chapter 356: Wanting to catch cicadas, there are even more oriole, waiting to catch the eagle, showing off again as a tiger and wolf
Sure enough, just as Taoist Master Xingyue expected, Prince Ping was really careful.
"Master Taoist, after Prince Ping checked into the inn, he stayed behind closed doors. We didn't dare to approach easily, for fear of disturbing others. However, not long ago, we saw the master and two people sneaking around.
I left the inn and went around to the backyard of the general's mansion. The subordinates didn't know what he meant and didn't dare to make the decision on their own, so they rushed over immediately and asked the master for instructions."
Ma Yuanyi reported everything he saw in a low voice.
"Is there anyone following?"
Taoist Master Xingyue asked.
"I didn't dare to get too close. Those two are good at martial arts. Our brothers can only watch from a distance."
Ma Yuanyi replied.
"Okay, well done. Ambassador Dong, let's go take a look together!"
Taoist Master Xingyue made a quick decision.
"As you command!"
Dong Er immediately responded.
Soon, the two of them quietly approached the general's mansion under the leadership of Ma Yuanyi, taking advantage of the darkness.
"Taoist Master, Dong Shi..."
The brother in charge of surveillance opened his mouth, but was immediately stopped by Ma Yuanyi's gesture.
"Say it quietly!"
The brother quickly lowered his voice and told what he saw. In fact, it was nothing, because he didn't dare to follow him in, so he saw that the master never came out.
"Oh, it looks like the conversation was very interesting!"
Taoist Master Xingyue said calmly and glanced at Dong Er and Ma Yuanyi.
"Let's go and have a look."
As he spoke, Taoist Master Xingyue crossed the high wall in the backyard of the General's Mansion like a ghost.
In the huge general's mansion, the lights were gradually dimming at this time. Perhaps due to the impact of the war, there were also groups of sergeants patrolling from time to time.
However, it is too easy for the three of them to avoid these sergeants.
Not long after, the three of them quietly crouched down in the study room of the General's Mansion.
Although Leihu seems to be rough, he is actually both civil and military. He is one of the rare generals under the throne of Pingwang, and he is also an important chess piece that Pingwang hides behind.
This small study room is exactly the place where he receives guests privately.
"General Lei, do you understand the prince's hard work?"
In the room, the master's voice sounded a little cold.
"My foster father is sitting in Jingxiang, and he originally had plenty of troops. If it weren't for the sudden rise of the British king's army, it would not be difficult to defend Xiangyang and prevent the imperial army from going south. I didn't expect it..."
It can be heard that this person is Lei Hu, and there is a lot of emotion in this tone.
"Now that the matter has come to this, what else can be done? Your Majesty does not go to Changsha, Ezhou, or Wuling County, but comes to General Lei alone. I will not tell you what your intention is. The general should understand."
The person who said this was another person. When Xingyue Taoist heard it, he could tell that he was ruthless.
"Then I dare to ask Master, where is my adoptive father now?"
Obviously, the master did not inform Lei Hu of where Prince Ping was staying.
"Your Majesty is fine for the time being. General, you can rest assured. However, your Majesty doesn't want to show up in public this time. Please ask General Lei to make a quick decision regarding Shizhou!"
The master did not reveal the whereabouts of Prince Ping, but coldly forced Lei Hu to make a certain decision.
Shizhou?
Taoist Master Xingyue, who was hiding in secret, frowned upon hearing this.
Shizhou was the seat of the great chieftain of the Miao territory. It was clearly subordinated to Wang Hua, and it was autonomous for generations and was not subject to anyone's control. Over the years, Prince Ping's Mansion had a good relationship with it, and many gifts of money and silk were given to it. Prince Ping wanted to
If you go to Shizhou, it is said that you are asking for an escape. However, from what the master said, it seems that Prince Ping has other plans?
"My adoptive father has been as kind to me as a mountain. How can Lei dare to repay me? However, this matter of Shizhou is very important, please let me think twice!"
