HCB Chapter 166 I am your prince’s friend
Chapter 166 I am your prince’s friend
The handsome man in white robes slightly frowned.
Thinking of the Secretary of the Ministry of War whose house was confiscated yesterday: "But what happened at Black Bear Ridge?"
"No, it's Eunuch Hou who I sent to Chizhou. My grandma has not been heard from."
Princess Ding originally wanted to talk about Jiang Xun.
But he was afraid that his true purpose of sending Jiang Xun to Chizhou would be discovered by the man, so he hid the fact that Jiang Xun was missing.
The man in the white robe thought of the new news he got today, and already had an idea in his mind about the joint princess.
Princess Ding waited uneasily, thinking that the man would blame her.
After waiting for a long time, I didn't wait to blame.
Princess Ding looked up and saw the man lost in his own thoughts.
"The old guy from Zhen Guogong went to Chizhou. The disappearance of Eunuch Hou and Grandma Gui should be related to that old guy."
Having said this, the man shook his long sleeves and felt a little out of breath:
"Damn the town government!"
He took out the chess piece of the Minister of War and ruined Princess Ding's arrangements in Chizhou.
Princess Ding was puzzled:
"Why did that old guy go to Chizhou? How could the old guy discover what Eunuch Hou and Grandma were going to do?"
The man in white robe said nothing.
He was also confused about this matter.
Their plan had been launched more than 20 years ago. Why did the old guy from the Zhenguogong Mansion find out at this time.
Is it a coincidence or is there some expert guidance behind it?
"Don't worry about this matter. If you continue to send people, you will also give the old guy a head."
Princess Ding was a little worried:
"What about your grandma and Eunuch Hou?"
In fact, Princess Ding does not care about her two subordinates, but cares about Jiang Xun.
From this point of view, Jiang Xun's disappearance was probably the work of the Zhenguo Government.
Unfortunately, what they did was not allowed to be publicized, and they did not dare to file a complaint before the emperor.
The man in white robe thought for a moment:
"When I finish what I'm doing, I will go to Chizhou myself.
I want to see how much the old guy knows! "
Princess Ding felt relieved when she heard what the man in white robe said.
She smiled softly:
"If Gu Lang takes action, he will surely catch those rats causing trouble."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the man in white robe gently held Princess Ding in his arms.
After Su Wan and Su Jingnian slipped out of Prince Ding's Mansion, they headed to Duke Zhenguo's Mansion.
The Zhenguogong Mansion is located on Baihu Street in the east of the city.
The people living on this street are all military generals, especially the Duke of Zhenguo.
Su Wan found out the location of the Zhenguo Palace after a little inquiry.
There are two majestic stone lions outside the Duke's Mansion, and the four characters "Zhen Guogong's Mansion" on the door plaque are vigorous and powerful.
There are two soldiers guarding the gate.
Just as Su Wan was about to step forward, she saw a man and a woman walking out of the Duke's mansion.
The boy looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old.
The girl is only eleven or twelve years old.
I saw the girl angrily twisting the boy's ears and scolding him as he walked:
"Xiao Anchen, you stayed out all night. My mother sent people everywhere to look for you. It's better for you to hide in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion!"
Xiao Anchen bent over, covering his pinched ears, and couldn't help begging for mercy:
"Be gentle, be gentle, Xiao Anyu, I am your brother, can you give me some face in front of outsiders?"
Xiao Anyu angrily increased the force in her hand, which only made Xiao Anchen jump in pain:
"Xiao Anyu, you tigress, you are so fierce, be careful not to get married in the future!"
"If I, the princess, can't get married, I'm better off than a playboy like you. Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly."
Xiao Anyu escorted Xiao Anchen into the carriage, and the carriage clattered away from the Zhenguo Palace.
The people watching and joining in the fun couldn't help but joke:
"As expected of Princess Yong'an, I'm afraid this is the only princess in the capital who can control the dandy Prince Yongchang."
Prince Yongchang?
In Huai'an, she remembered that when the guard next to Chu Mingye entered the city in the middle of the night, he took the dude's waist card.
"Let's go, sister."
Su Jingnian pulled Su Wan towards the gate of Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
The soldiers stretched out their spears to stop the two men.
"The Duke's Mansion is an important place, no idlers are allowed to enter."
Idle person Su Wan:...
"Hey, Brother Soldier, I'm not an idler. I'm a friend of Chu Mingye, the Crown Prince's son. I have something to do with him. Please let me know."
The soldier on the right looked at Su Wan carefully and said after a while:
"The prince left the mansion early in the morning and is not in the mansion."
That's really unfortunate.
Su Wan walked aside and prepared to wait here for Chu Mingye to come back.
Suddenly the sound of horse hooves was heard not far away.
A large luxury carriage driven by three horses stopped at the gate of the Duke's Mansion.
The flag standing next to the carriage has the word Chu written on it.
The driver jumped out of the carriage and the door opened.
A majestic middle-aged man wearing a black official robe stepped out of the carriage.
The Duke of Zhen Guo had been busy all night and only now had time to go back to his hometown to rest for a while.
Su Wan and Su Jingnian didn't know Duke Zhen Guo, so they didn't step forward.
The Duke of Zhenguo stopped when he passed by the brother and sister.
"Why are there children lingering at the door of the house?"
This is a question for the soldiers.
The soldier immediately replied respectfully:
"To report to the Duke, this little girl said that she is a friend of the Crown Prince and is here to see the Crown Prince."
Mingye's friend?
Duke Zhen Guo turned to look at Su Wan and Su Jingnian.
"Are you Mingye's friends? What are your names?"
Those who have been in power for a long time have a dignified look, tone, and demeanor.
What's more, Duke Zhenguo is a military general. He went to the battlefield and killed people when he was young.
Most children would be afraid when facing him.
It's a pity that Su Wan and Su Jingnian are not ordinary people.
Su Jinnian took a step forward and replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone:
"The civilian's name is Su Jingnian, and this is my sister Su Wan."
Surname Su?
The Duke of Zhen Guo has been very interested in this surname recently.
After looking around, Duke Zhen Guo said in a deep voice:
"Ming Ye will have to wait a while before returning to the mansion. Since you are Ming Ye's friends, go into the mansion with your father-in-law first."
The two brothers and sisters didn't expect to enter the house so easily.
The Duke's Mansion is very large, and the landscape layout inside shows the style of a military commander - simple and durable.
Most people’s front yards are planted with various famous paintings and plants.
The front yard of the Zhenguogong Mansion is quite simple, with no flowers or plants.
Instead, it was opened up as a martial arts training ground.
The guards of the mansion competed in the martial arts field.
Duke Zhenguo ordered his servants to entertain the Su Wan brothers and sisters and went to the backyard to change clothes.
As soon as he arrived at the study, the Duke of Zhenguo said to his personal guard Chu Jin:
"Chu Jin, go call the prince back and tell him that there are two friends named Su in the house."
The servant respectfully served tea to the brother and sister.
Su Wan took a sip of tea and sighed comfortably:
"It's been a long time since I've had tea so leisurely."
Su Jinnian was not interested in drinking tea, but was very interested in the martial arts competition.
Unknowingly, I walked to the training ground.
With a bang, one person threw him over his shoulder, knocking the other person to the ground.
Su Jinnian cheered excitedly:
"it is good!"
Chu Bao walked down from the martial arts training ground and looked at Su Jingnian.
"Which family are you a child from? Why are you in the Duke's Mansion?"
Looking at the child's clothes, he doesn't look like a young man from some family.
Su Jinnian grinned:
"I'm here to see your eldest son, Chu Mingye. Brother, your kung fu is so good."
When Chu Bao heard this, he looked Su Jingnian up and down.
When did their prince know the child in front of him?
Seeing the child's bright eyes, Chu Bao asked:
"Can children know martial arts?"
Su Jingnian: "I know a little bit."
Upon hearing this, Chu Bao pointed to the martial arts training ground and asked casually:
"Do you want to go up and try it?"
Su Jingnian's eyes lit up and she nodded:
"Hmm, I think so."
