After the rebirth

Chapter 197 Chapter 197
Although Ji Leng's words were just a joke, but this night, the three of them were really miserable "brothers in distress".

In one night, they repelled five waves of assassins, and even the fourth prince, young master and the national teacher were completely alarmed and showed up.

"This is trying to exhaust us to death!" Sima Ying slumped on the chair, grinning, and now he was really exhausted.

The Ji family brothers didn't give way too much, they all leaned on the chairs to rest.

"Your Highness and that person went to investigate in person, hurry up and eat something and go to rest!" Hua Yanbai walked in, behind him was the mist and phantom carrying a tray.

"Young master." The three wanted to get up and salute, but Hua Yanbai stopped them.

Originally, the fourth prince wanted her to go with him, and he was worried that she would leave his sight, but Feng Chengyu proposed to let her stay in the inn.

Firstly, the inn can't be left alone, and secondly, the others have really worked hard all night, and their vigilance may have dropped.

Moreover, he and the fourth prince should be faster. After all, someone is really lazy, even if she is reliable at critical times.

"Young master, do you have other ideas about the assassination last night?" The three of them were not too formal, but after Sima Ying sat up straight, he hesitated and asked.

Otherwise, Master Guoshi and the fourth prince shouldn't go to check it in person at this time, right?
"You don't think so?" Hua Yanbai also drank the porridge Xu Wu put in front of her, and looked up at them.

"You mean, the assassin last night was not the same master messenger?" Ji Lin stopped his movements in doubt and asked.

"They really don't look like each other, but..." Ji Leng also hesitated.

"I never really believe in coincidences." Hua Yanbai raised his eyebrows and snorted, "Besides, sometimes I'm a little suspicious."

"..." She couldn't answer these words, and everyone present was slightly shocked by her.

"The third batch of people who came last night, you feel different, they should be the most obvious."

"It seems to be." Sima Ying thought for a while, then nodded, "They don't seem to have to die."

"Could it be your Highness again..." Ji Lin's first reaction was that another prince jumped out and wanted to remove the "obstacle" that prevented them from going to the throne!
"No." Hua Yanbai shook his head, "Did you hear what Sima Ying said just now?"

"This wave of assassins should be intended to test. I have a guess. Are you interested in taking a bet?"

"Young master, are we sure to lose this bet?" Sima Ying saw the teasing expression on her face, and suddenly smiled, "Why don't you tell me your guess first?"

"It's not like we're going to lose." Hua Yanbai shook his head and sighed, making them speechless.

"After all, the emperor's heart is the most unpredictable!"

In a word, the people present almost sprayed, they were glad that they didn't drink water or eat anything at this moment.

How did she think of that person?Moreover, she dared to think!

They were trapped here by the heavy snow, could it be that they lost contact temporarily, but some people can...

"I guess, when we can receive the news from the capital, the sixth prince's birthday has passed, and some things will be decided." Hua Yanbai looked at their stunned appearance, and his mood eased a little.

"First, the birthday gift from His Royal Highness can only be half completed. This time, even Concubine Wan probably can't complete the other half."

"Secondly, His Highness and him, I think there must be some kind of agreement. No matter whether it is revealed or not, they probably think that the other party knows it well!" Hua Yanbai is not sure about this, and she will not Talk to someone to confirm, but these three guys should report this!
"So, do you think that person will come up with some thoughts, which will cause him to doubt His Highness, your master, and then doubt even more, such as me, such as the national teacher."

"Thirdly, it is the result of this suspicion. Even if the sixth prince's marriage is settled, it may not be announced to the world for a while." Hua Yanbai said this, a sneer appeared on his lips.

"Then, he will completely start paying attention to the strength of His Highness and the Sixth Prince. After all, don't forget his ultimate goal."

"If what he wants to know is confirmed in some way, the consequences that will make him dread..." Sima Ying was the first to understand, his tone was cold, but he didn't finish his sentence.

The person who wants to live forever must have a great greed for the imperial power in his hands. If he is made to be afraid now, the result is really conceivable, and it couldn't be more obvious.

Thinking about it, Sima Ying looked at the person in front of him who had already lowered his head to drink porridge, and his eyes deepened.

The mission of all of them is to protect Fengjin, and they are all working hard for the stability of Fengjin's country, but that...

However, this one in front of her should have other ideas, right?

A person like her probably wouldn't let herself become a victim of the struggle for imperial power, right? !
Everyone ate breakfast in silence, and Sima Ying and the others went back to rest.

"Master, Your Highness and the others are back!" It was near noon when Xu Ying rushed to report, while Hua Yanbai was sitting at the table, looking at the chessboard on the table for a long time.

"Aren't you injured?" Looking up at Xuying, Hua Yanbai asked lazily, but no one saw the flashing coldness in his eyes.

hope……

"Return to Master, Your Highness and the others seem to be fine." Xu Ying returned.

"Well, go and inform the kitchen to bring up lunch, and then bring up two pots of hot water." Hua Yanbai nodded.

"Yes." Xu Ying replied, and hurried to make arrangements.

Xu Wu, who was guarding at the side, lowered her head silently. How could she not feel the coldness of her master all morning? !
However, her master's thoughts were never easy to be guessed by others. She didn't dare to guess randomly, but she couldn't help worrying.

"You are..." Waiting for those two to walk in, Hua Yanbai couldn't help being a little puzzled seeing their thick cloaks being wet and frozen.

What the hell are they doing here?
Xu Wu and Xu Ying hurried over to wait for them to tie off their cloaks, washed their hands and faces with hot water, Hua Yanbai consciously poured them two cups of hot tea.

"The snow outside the town is bigger than expected." The fourth prince sighed and returned with a slight frown.

But he was thinking in his heart, Hua Yanbai's previous suspicion, in this case, is it still possible?
"Fortunately, it wasn't snowing this morning, and there are still some traces. Master and I chased those traces, and found a place for them to stay." Said, the fourth prince stopped, and glanced at his master After one glance, he took another sip of hot tea before continuing.

"It's a very big cave. Fortunately, Master has prepared medicine. Seeing that the opportunity is good, he solved those people."

"You guys are too risky!" It was simple to hear what he said, but the listeners were not fools, Hua Yan frowned and said in a deep voice.

"However, I wonder if there are any similar places around?"

"Tonight, let's watch it one more night. If it's quiet tonight, I'll send someone to look for it tomorrow." The fourth prince nodded.

After the words fell, lunch was served, so everyone stopped talking and began to eat.
