One hundred and seventy-nine
Mrs. Qian's second wife's tone was solemn, and her face also sighed heavily: "I heard that the Lord and Your Highness met bandits in the yard, or the Japanese ronin, how did those people wander in? No one knows. Anyway, the Lord and Your Highness were separated from the Jinwu Guard and the Yulin Guard... These days, the heavy troops in the yard are overwhelming, and now they are almost looking for it. I heard that more than 20,000 people have entered the mountain to search."
More than 20,000 people!
Old Mrs. Xu was frightened.
She remembered the arrival of the Japanese Langren. At that time, Zou Huaizhi and the Ye family had interacted with Japanese people. The Duke also received a lot of benefits. In short, there were at least 700,000 or 800,000 taels of silver in the Duke's pocket.
Zou Huanzhi and the Ye family had an accident one after another. They didn’t know where they went. I heard that they couldn’t stay in Zhejiang. The soldiers trained by Fu Qingxin were like wolf cubs, extremely fierce. They had won a big victory in just a short time. I heard that they captured more than 300 Japanese pirates alive and killed more than 1,000 Japanese pirates...
Will the remaining ronin and samurai be...
Old Mrs. Xu didn't dare to think about it anymore, she just felt a splitting headache.
She asked in panic again: "Then... do you know the whereabouts of your father?"
When talking about his father, Mrs. Qian's tone finally became gentler. She shook her head and said naturally: "My father is a duke. Among the nobles nowadays, my father is the most experienced and has a high position. My father's escort naturally stayed there to take charge and direct people to search for the Lord and His Highness."
Yeah?
But Old Mrs. Xu felt that her right eyelid was twitching violently.
She always felt that things were not that simple.
The Duke of the Kingdom is not a person who can really swallow his anger. Emperor Jiaping forced him so hard. Ah Hai was imprisoned for so long and there was no news at all. The Duke of the Kingdom was very irritable a few days ago.
if......
She didn't dare to think further, and looked at Mrs. Qian Er deeply, and said, "Since that's the case, Qi Niang, you are a good child, and your father loves you normally. Can you ask your father-in-law and uncle to inquire and see what happened to your father? After so long, he has never had any news. Although he is used to charging forward, he is still an elderly man after all. I'm afraid he can't stand it after traveling to the mountains for such a long distance."
This was reasonable and there was nothing to criticize, so Mrs. Qian nodded and agreed.
In the afternoon, Mrs. Qian Er sent someone to send back the news, saying that the British Duke was responsible for leading three thousand guards and had already entered the mountain to find Emperor Jiaping and Chu Tingchuan. She has not returned to the palace yet, but there is no need to worry about safety.
After all, I still have more than 3,000 people, and even if I meet those Japanese people, it doesn’t matter.
Old Mrs. Xu's brows were even tighter. She almost immediately looked at Mrs. Xu and ordered her in a stern tone: "If the family members are not allowed to go out again without any necessary things, the same is true for those who serve. Those who have no chores are not allowed to come into the mansion. Those who are on duty are also honest and not to cause trouble outside!"
Old Mrs. Xu's tone was so serious and serious that Mrs. Xu did not dare to disobey at all, and repeatedly agreed.
But on the fifth day, Emperor Jiaping and Chu Tingchuan were still not found.
The urgent reports from the Beijing city came to the palace one by one. The roads on Zhuque Street were almost flattened, and the atmosphere in the city became more and more awesome. There was nothing to do at any time, and there were even fewer people setting up stalls.
People from the Five Cities Military Affairs Office patrol the city every day, and they will be arrested when they encounter troublemakers. For a moment, the prison cells are crowded.
This cannot conceal the chaos in the court.
Compared to the quiet days ago, the ministers began to discuss whether to establish another emperor first--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There were constant disputes in the court, but more people searched for Emperor Jiaping and Chu Tingchuan.
Old Mrs. Xu became more and more unable to sleep, and she was worried every day.
But as time passed, there was no news about Emperor Jiaping and Chu Tingchuan, and her heart gradually calmed down.
If it was really what the Duke of the Kingdom did, then the Duke of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the Kingdom of the
Those two are both precious in gold and jade. They have no food or drink in the mountains and have to avoid hunting. How could they survive?
If a new king is established, then the affairs of the previous emperor will not be related to the next one.
Before Emperor Jiaping, he frequently asked for trouble for the Duke's Mansion, and I'm afraid he had heard of something.
But if the emperor is gone, then all these things will be gone, and the Duke of the State can still stand firm----At this time of storm, both inside and outside are still needed, and the Empress Dowager will not indulge the new emperor to do anything to the Duke of the State.
She gradually felt relieved.
There is no news now, it is the best news.
Zhu Yuan, who was far away on the way to Guiyang, also heard about the disappearance of Emperor Jiaping and Chu Tingchuan.
Her first reaction was shock.
It is a matter of hunting every year when going to the yard, but the emperor always travels with great care, and there are at least tens of thousands of followers.
With so many people supporting the moon, how could the Emperor and King Xin disappear?
When she heard that there was actually the work of the Japanese Ronin, she frowned even more.
Japanese people...
She coldly pinched the letter paper in her hand, and her expression on her face was extremely cold.
The Xu family is really good.
She thought in her heart.
The Sheng family did not dare to do in the last life, and the Xu family did it in their lifetime.
They actually want to kill the regicide, and then follow?
Can you support those little princes to take the throne and then enjoy the merit of following the dragon?
Jin Chang was so anxious that he didn't know what to do. He scratched his head and said, "Your Highness and the Lord disappeared together. It's been seven days since there was no news for seven days. This can't be said to be good news. If there is really something unexpected..."
Then Zhu Yuan is in danger too!
Without Chu Tingchuan, who would still sell Zhu Yuan for face?
Then, let alone saving Dr. Shen, Zhu Yuan himself will not be able to come back at all.
Zhu Yuan was able to maintain calmness, and she shook her head: "Even if it is missing, it will be useless for us to rush back now, and it will not work."
They had nothing, and their only hope now is to find Chu Tingchuan and Emperor Jiaping. Otherwise, the situation would be the most beneficial to the Xu family.
They went back rashly, but they just died.
She said, glanced at Jin Chang, pursed her lips and said, "Your Highness will be fine, he promised me."
She believed in him.
