Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Besides, Wei Yuande, the prince of Beidi, leisurely rode a carriage to the capital of Dali.

The reason why I'm not in a hurry is because I just want to 'fish'.

The 'fish' in his eyes is naturally Shen Yue, and he thinks about how to catch her and torture her every day.

However, several days passed in a flash, and Shen Yuyu didn't show up.

"This cunning woman must have brought too few people with her. Seeing that she couldn't defeat me, she fled back to the Kingdom of Zhou."

In the carriage, Wei Yuande stretched out his legs and leaned on the cushions, stroking the beard at the corner of his mouth with his index finger, his narrow eyes full of disappointment.

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have kept so many guards around An Renju that night, scaring Shen Yuyu away."

As he talked, he shrugged. That night, he told his men to withdraw 200% of the guards, but there were still more than [-] people left. Shen Yuhu must have sent people to spy on him and thought they didn't have the ability to assassinate him, so they gave up.

"Your Highness, drink tea." Zhou Mingzhong poured a cup of tea for Wei Yuande and handed it to Wei Yuande's hand.

In order to make it easier to talk, he also got on the carriage.

After pouring Wei Yuande a cup of tea, he poured himself a cup and said thoughtfully:
"Your Highness, I'm afraid things are not that absolute. Shen Yue may follow."

"Why do you say that?" Wei Yuande blew the foam on the water and took a sip.

Zhou Mingzhong glanced at the various gems on Wei Yuande's body, frowned and said: "My subordinates found out a piece of news today. The common people who followed His Highness's motorcade for several days were 'treasure hunting' behind him."

"Treasure hunt? What treasure are you looking for?'
"Look for the gem that fell from the jewelry worn by His Highness."

"What? The gems that fell off my body? Are you kidding me? How could these gems fall off if they are so solid?" Wei Yuande said as he picked up the heavy gem chain on his chest and weighed it. The various gems collided and made a pleasant tinkling sound.

"Not to mention wearing it on a daily basis, even if you bump these gems against a stone, they may not fall off. Do you really think that the craftsmanship of my Beidi country's jewelers is so inferior?"

"Your Highness, are you sure the gems on your body have not fallen off?" Zhou Mingzhong cast his eyes over for verification.

"Of course, it never dropped.'

"It didn't drop? But why is it rumored that a little beggar picked up a big gem and sold it for thousands of taels? Otherwise, how could there be so many people following the convoy?"

Before Zhou Mingzhong finished speaking, Wei Yuande interrupted him dissatisfied.

"Didn't you say a few days ago that they followed me because they admired my charisma? Huh, my ability to do things is really bad."

Zhou Mingzhong had a sad face.

"Those untouchables are being thieves. They are afraid that His Highness the Prince will put away the jewelry he is wearing when he finds out about this. How can they tell the truth?
"But the gems on this prince's body have never fallen off. If you don't believe me, open your eyes and take a look. Is there anything missing? Is there any?" Wei Yuande said, taking off the necklace and bracelet studded with gems, and spreading them on the table. Zhou Mingzhong looks at it.

Zhou Mingzhong shook his head in confusion after looking at it.

"So the blame lies here. If that gem was not dropped by His Highness, where did it come from?"

Wei Yuande sat up straight after hearing this, his eyes rounded.

"You don't suspect that Shen Yuyu deliberately threw a gem for those untouchables to pick up, and then encouraged everyone to follow the prince's carriage to hunt for treasure, so that her people could be involved in following the prince and waiting for opportunities, right?"

Zhou Mingzhong said cautiously, "Don't His Highness think this is possible?"

Wei Yuande slapped his thigh and narrowed his narrow eyes.

"This cunning woman may indeed resort to such unexpected means.'
"If this is the case, then she must have changed her appearance and hidden among these "treasure hunting" people. We have to find a way to catch them all~~
Zhou Mingzhong frowned and shook his head.

"Arrest all these people? This is Dali. How do we have this right?"

"So, it's up to Prince Dali to take action." Wei Yuande gently tugged at the beard above the corner of his mouth, paused, and spoke with the corner of his mouth curled up.

"It's been so many days. Prince Dali should have received the flying pigeon letter from this prince, but why is there no movement? Is he so stupid that he doesn't know the purpose of Princess Ye?'
As soon as Wei Yuande finished speaking, the rapid sound of horse hooves came to the front of the car.It was Jiang Yueqing's second brother, Jiang Chengyun, who came.

Jiang Chengyun came to Wei Yuande's carriage and got off his horse.

"Vice-General Jiang of the Changtuo Army Camp has met the Prince of Beidi.'

"Vice General Jiang, don't be too polite." Wei Yuande lifted the curtain of the car and gestured towards Jiang Chengyun while inviting him with a smile, "Vice General Jiang, can you get in the car and talk to me?"
He was the prince of Beidi and invited a deputy general from another country to ride with him. This was a matter of lowering his status and was against the rules.

But when Wei Yuande thought that Vice General Jiang must be sent by Prince Dali to capture Princess Ye, he couldn't care less.
He didn't want the carriage to stop, and he didn't want Shen Yue, who was in the treasure hunting team, to notice something was wrong. After all, as long as he controlled this group of "treasure hunting" people, it was very likely to catch Shen Yue.

Jiang Chengyun was stunned for a moment, then got on the carriage with a smile.

Zhou Mingzhong did not get out of the car, but sat aside to add tea and water, also to protect Wei Yuande's safety.

Jiang Chengyun asked straight to the point before he even sat down in the car.

"Prince Beidi has something to say? Could it be that he discovered the whereabouts of Princess Ye?"

Prince Dongfang Peng issued an order that if he could not catch Princess Zhou Guoye, he would be dismissed from his post. He was even more anxious than Wei Yuande.

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt that I was a bit reckless, so I hurriedly explained again.

"By the way, your letter has been received by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our country. I have been ordered to capture Princess Da Zhouye. If the Crown Prince of Beidi has any news about her, I would like to inform you."

Wei Yuande put aside his eagerness to catch Shen Yuyu and said casually, "Since Vice General Jiang asked this, I have something to tell you, Prince. As he spoke, he took a sip of tea slowly and put the tea cup in his hands. When he got to the table, he put his hands on his thighs, sat up straight and looked at Lieutenant General Jiang.

"When you came here just now, did you see that there were many Dali people behind my prince's motorcade?"

Vice General Jiang thought for a moment and said, "There are indeed many people behind the motorcade. I couldn't see clearly even though they were far away. Is there any problem with this?"

Wei Yuande answered quickly.

"Yes, most likely Princess Ye from the Great Zhou Kingdom is among this group of people."

"But Princess Ye is good at disguise. As long as you send people to surround this group of people and order them to wash their faces one by one, you will be able to find Princess Night."

After hearing the news, Vice General Jiang became energetic and hurriedly handed over to Wei Yuande.

"Thank you, Prince Beidi, for providing this information. I'm going to leave now." After saying that, he got up and got out of the car.

Since the Prince of Beidi was willing to reveal that Princess Ye was in Dali, he would not lie to him at this moment, otherwise he would not have come to the Prince of Beidi to inquire about Princess Ye.

After he got off the car, Wei Yuande added quietly behind him.

"It is said that Princess Ye is extremely cunning. Vice General Jiang's actions had better be concealed, otherwise she will definitely escape."

"Nothing." Vice General Jiang turned around and smiled, "There are mountains on both sides two or three miles ahead. By then, we will catch them all in front and behind them, and no one can escape."

After speaking, Vice General Jiang handed over his hand, quickly mounted his horse and left.

After he left, Zhou Mingzhong came up with some fear.

"Fortunately, Vice General Jiang was in time, otherwise the terrain with mountains on both sides would have easily been ambushed!" After all, they are not from their own country, and they are not familiar with the terrain of Dali Country at all.

This terrain is extremely dangerous, so be careful.

"Are you afraid that Shen Yuyu will take action against this prince here?" Wei Yuande tugged at the corners of his mouth, narrowed his eyes, and said with some contempt, "If she really dares to take action, then this prince will kill her people in one fell swoop, and no one will be able to escape."

When Zhou Mingzhong thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

His Highness has thousands of top experts with him, and no one can even think of dealing with him.

Thinking of this made me feel relaxed.

The two of them were talking and the convoy moved forward in an orderly manner.

Not long after, there were mountains in front of us, and high mountains surrounded the road on both sides.

"Your Highness, we have entered the valley." Zhou Mingzhong said to Wei Yuande, who was leaning back and resting with his eyes closed.

After hearing this, Wei Yuande immediately sat up straight and looked out the window.

All you can see outside the window is the towering mountains, and the surroundings are extremely quiet. Apart from the occasional chirping of birds, the only sound heard is the rapid rumbling of cars, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

He was a little nervous for no reason, and he didn't know what he was nervous about. There were thousands of masters around him, who was he afraid of?
Besides, isn't there Vice General Jiang? Vice General Jiang is preparing to lead his troops to surround them. With this double guarantee, everything will be fine.

Wei Yuande leaned on the cushion again, pinched a piece of dessert and nibbled on it.

After taking two bites, he still gave the order with concern, "This is a special location, so our people should be alert and alert."

"Yes." Zhou Mingzhong nodded, got off the carriage and gave orders.

Soon, Prince Beidi's motorcade entered the valley, but the 'treasure hunting team' lagged far behind.

Because not long ago, another lucky person picked up a ruby ​​and was so happy that he almost went crazy.

A group of people were also very excited. They watched around for a long time before chasing forward again.

However, when they arrived at the entrance of the valley, they found that countless rocks had rolled down from the mountain, blocking the road into the valley.

"Can't get in? God, isn't this cutting off our financial path?"

"Isn't it? What a bad luck."

"Such a large stone will definitely not be moved, that's all. I don't have that luck anyway."

Looking at the blocked road, many people retreated.

At this time, someone shouted, "You guys don't want to get rich? Take a detour."

So everyone retreated, preparing to take a long way around the valley.

At this moment in the valley, a pair of sneaky eyes were hidden in the tall grass.

After the Beidi Prince's motorcade entered the valley, the man wearing a grass skirt and a grass coat jumped up and got into the jungle.

In an open space in the dense forest, swords flashed, and one or two thousand strong men were waiting in formation. They were none other than the Western Region robbers headed by Kun Wu.
