The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Gu Yuzhi was furious and stepped forward to give the assassin a kick: "Tell me, who sent you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt something was wrong and turned around: "Mr. Huo, Guard Shen and the others..."

At this moment, the back door was suddenly pushed open. Guard Shen grabbed a person's leg and pulled the person in with a ferocious look on his face. A long bloody mark was left on the person's body.

There were some blood drops on Guard Shen's face. Gu Yuzhi trotted forward, raised his head and pointed at the blood drops on his face, and said with worry on his face: "Servant Shen, are you injured?"

He glanced at the guard pretending to be fierce, and stamped his feet vigorously, with regret on his face.

When the thief was caught just now, he shouldn't have jumped down to see what he had in his sleeve. Instead, he should have gone out to help.

Guard Shen subconsciously hid his injured hand behind his back and wrote lightly: "I'm fine, it's all this thief's blood."

Only then did Gu Yuzhi look at the thief. The black cloth on the thief's face had been pulled off, his face was pale, and his eyes looked at him with a cold look.

He snorted: "You have been caught, and you still dare to be so arrogant!"

"You thief!" Seeing him like this, Guard Shen stepped on his broken leg without thinking. "If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs."

The thief couldn't bear it and screamed, then tilted his head and passed out.

Only then did Guard Shen take back his feet and lowered his eyes to look at Gu Yuzhi: "Is your highness okay?"

Gu Yuzhi shook his head, with a little pride on his face: "I'm fine. I even helped Mr. Huo catch the thief inside."

Mr. Huo raised his hand slightly, and the guards tied the two thieves together and hung them under the big tree.

Gu Yuzhi looked up at them and whispered: "Hurry up and go to Xinliang and ask Guard Zhang to come back."

Just now, Guard Shen led people to search the teeth of the two thieves for poison. Guard Shen said that these two were professionally trained killers.

Only Guard Zhang can make such people speak.

Gu Yuzhi snorted: "Before Guard Zhang comes back, let's hang them like this, as long as they don't die."

No one would think Gu Yuzhi was cruel. After all, these two people wanted the life of His Highness.

Mr. Huo and others glanced at the two assassins, then surrounded Gu Yuzhi and returned to the meeting hall.

While sitting on the chair, Gu Yuzhi was still a little in disbelief. He lowered his eyes and glanced at his still red palms, then suddenly lowered his eyes and said, "Actually, I know who sent these two people without interrogation."

Now that the situation in Mobei has stabilized, people in all states like him, especially Qingzhou. I heard from Magistrate Huang that the people in Qingzhou even gave him a longevity plaque.

Brother King Chu is the only one who hates him now.

He puffed up his face and said, "Brother King Chu is really too bad."

Gu Yuzhi groaned angrily, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he jumped down from the chair: "I know! When Guard Zhang interrogates these two people, I will go to Jiangnan with these evidences."

He clenched his fist and said, "Brother King Chu mutilated his brothers and feet. This is the evidence!"

Xie Changshi and Mr. Huo looked at each other. No one expected that before they had time to express their condolences, His Highness would justly start sending troops.

Xie Changshi smoothed his beard, nodded slightly and said, "Your Highness is absolutely right. This is indeed a legitimate opportunity."

Gu Yuzhi shook his head, grabbed his bow and arrow and walked out: "I'm going to practice bow and arrow. When we get to Jiangnan, my bow and arrow will definitely be able to kill the thief!"

He left immediately and trotted to the martial arts training ground. When no one was around, Xie Changshi whispered: "What does Mr. Huo think of this?"

Mr. Huo raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you think? Your Highness can understand things at a glance. Can't you understand it, Xie Changshi?"

Xie Changshi chuckled and shook his head: "Of course I understand that no one else can do this except King Chu."

Because of sweet potatoes and potatoes, His Highness's reputation is not only famous in Mobei, but also very popular in other places.

Only the King of Chu would hate His Highness for stabilizing the situation in Mobei.

Xie Changshi whispered: "I just can't understand what the King of Chu was thinking. At such a critical moment, he sent someone to assassinate His Highness."

Mr. Huo sighed deeply: "Actually, there's nothing I can't figure out."

"It can be seen from the strange phenomena in the Jiangnan rice store that the King of Chu was determined to rebel, so he closed the grain store. It is necessary to prepare enough food and grass before the war."

"But since the Emperor has received the news from His Highness, it is naturally impossible to give the King of Chu a few months to make adequate preparations. Therefore, the battle with the King of Chu will only take a month or two at most. .”

Xie Changshi nodded slowly. Mr. Huo could naturally think of this without having to tell him.

Mr. Huo continued: "But the area south of the Yangtze River is the fiefdom of the King of Chu. Although the King of Chu has not been to Jiangnan since he came of age, his staff have already sent people to Jiangnan to run the business."

If not, it would be impossible for King Chu to still have the intention to send people to Mobei to seize territory after the death of the late emperor.

Mr. Huo said: "If it weren't for the floods in Jiangnan, Prince Qi forcefully opened a hole in Jiangnan. Now Jiangnan is still impregnable, and the emperor would not get any news about Jiangnan."

Mr. Huo said in a leisurely tone: "So, do you think King Chu really doesn't know the emperor's plan at all?"

When the army sets out, even if it is broken into pieces, the movement will not be too small.

The most important thing is, who will be the commander-in-chief of the Jiangnan War?
Even if the King of Chu's spies in Beijing are all dormant, they will definitely keep a close eye on those generals. Once there is any movement among these people, the King of Chu will definitely get the news as soon as possible.

By then, it is hard to say whether the general can reach Jiangnan safely.

As soon as Mr. Huo finished speaking, he looked at each other and Xie Changshi, and both of them let out a long sigh.

Xie Changshi shook his sleeves: "It's too late to say anything now, His Highness is going to Jiangnan."

He raised the corners of his lips: "Don't say that Your Highness has some expectations, even I do."

War is cruel, and no one wants to start a war, but now they can't stop starting it if they don't want to.

If the Jiangnan area was occupied by the King of Chu, then the Sang Dynasty would be divided into two.

Judging from the character of the King of Chu, he would never treat the people of Jiangnan well.

Mr. Huo only patted Xie Changshi's shoulder lightly and sighed: "Things have already developed in this direction. It is useless to think about it. The more important thing is to follow your highness to the south of the Yangtze River and capture the King of Chu."

The two looked at each other again, and then walked out at the same time.

From today on, the guards of Wen Mansion will patrol more closely.

After all, according to King Chu's unyielding character, who knows when the assassin will come out again.
