But the gatekeeper came over and said, "Go away, don't hang around in front of the palace for no reason!"

Jiang Gaoyun knew that this was the palace without him saying anything.

Because there is only one adult prince in the Wu Kingdom.

He dragged Huang Zhuang a little further away before he took out the gold medal with teeth marks on it from his arms and compared it with the plaque.

Jiang Gaoyun was shocked by this couple.

He didn't recognize the character "瑾", but he had read it several times and it was exactly the same. So...

"The one we sold that day was a prince?" Jiang Gaoyun said, and slapped Huang Zhuang again.

Huang Zhuang covered the back of his head, and although he was dissatisfied, he suppressed his anger, "Who would know this? He didn't say anything that day. Besides, I didn't see him wearing any clothes with dragons or phoenixes on them..."

"Nonsense!" Jiang Gaoyun slapped him again. "The emperor wears a dragon robe, the empress wears a phoenix robe, what can a prince like him wear!"

Huang Zhuang was dumbfounded. How could he know so much? He just thought that the emperor and princes should all wear clothes made of gold.

He was dumbfounded, and Jiang Gaoyun was also dumbfounded. After a moment of silence, Jiang Gaoyun's eyes flashed with murderous intent, "We sold out the prince, I'm afraid we will be beheaded..."

Huang Zhuang opened his mouth and was about to howl when he heard it, but Jiang Gaoyun slapped him again, "Stop howling! We can't let anyone find out, so... we have to kill him!"

The two had killed chickens and dogs before, but this was the first time they had killed a human.

It really was a piece of cake. The two made a decision and were about to go out of the city to find a foreman to buy people when they saw a man at the city gate.

Chu Youyang was really pitiful. If the clothes on him had not been put on by Huang Zhuang himself, Jiang Gaoyun would definitely not have recognized him.

To enter the city one needed paperwork and two large coins. A dignified prince was actually stumped by these few things and could not enter the city.

He didn't want to tell the soldiers guarding the city about his identity. They were probably new arrivals with unfamiliar faces, and they might even arrest him as a lunatic.

Chu Youyang was in trouble when two people came out of the city and took him away.

"It's you two again! Do you still have any law and order..." Chu Youyang shouted.

But Huang Zhuang found a piece of rag and blocked his mouth.

Just like that, Chu Youyang was taken away.

He cried to the sky and shouted to the earth, but no one responded. He watched Jiang Gaoyun pull out a knife with murderous intent.

Actually, attending court is good, and working is good, too. Anything is better than death...

Especially martial arts training, I should have practiced it well earlier...

In the last moment of his life, many fragments flashed through Chu Youyang's mind. He hadn't even seen his unborn son and daughter yet...

Jiang Gaoyun raised his knife high up and was about to bring it down when he heard someone shout, "Over there! He ran over there!"

When they heard someone was coming, Jiang Gaoyun panicked, and Huang Zhuang was even more so.

"Hurry up!" Huang Zhuang growled.

Jiang Gaoyun put the knife into his hand, "Come here!"

It is easy to say that killing someone is easy, but it is still difficult to actually do it.

While the two of them were hesitating, Chu Youyang stood up and ran towards the source of the sound.

The voice seemed familiar to him. It was the foreman who had previously laughed at him for being mentally ill. But at this moment, the foreman was a hundred times better than that brat!

The foreman saw a man running over from the opposite side. It was the big-eyed man who ran away a few days ago. He was immediately happy, "Come on, come on, you are the first one to come back after leaving!"

As he said that, the people he led tied up Chu Youyang and walked towards the direction of Kaihe.

It’s time to go to work again!

Chu Youyang was so happy!

When he smiled like that, everyone thought he was really a fool.

Chu Youyang enjoyed moving stones and digging big holes. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night when he thought about how he had escaped death.

It was late at night and almost everyone was asleep, so who was still digging the hole?

The sound of digging a hole could be heard, as if it was not far away.

Chu Youyang was extremely curious, so he quietly got up and slipped out, and saw a group of people doing something strange.

Their job was to dig a river and dig a pit, which was fine, but they put things in the pit and then filled it with soil. What kind of operation was this? Although it was a little dark and he couldn't see those things clearly, he could smell the strong smell of gunpowder in the air.

Are they going to use gunpowder to open the river? That would be great, it would be twice the result with half the effort!

Chu Youyang suddenly became happy, but after a moment, he realized something was wrong.

This should be an aboveboard thing, but why did they wait until everyone was asleep before doing it? Moreover, after the gunpowder was buried, these people did not detonate it, but hurried away.

There seems to be something fishy.

If only Third Brother were here, he would definitely be able to see what these people are going to do.

But Chu Younan didn't have time to look for him at the moment. Although it was already the middle of the night, Chu Younan was still in the imperial study.

Kneeling below was the Minister of Works, looking trembling with fear. Even without him saying anything, one could tell that he had made a serious mistake.

Chu Younan frowned for a long time before slowly saying, "Get up."

"Thank you... Thank you, Your Majesty..." The Minister of Industry trembled. This matter was too big. Although it was not his fault, it was his department's problem after all. He was afraid that he could not escape the blame.

Chu Younan lowered his head and read the 800-li urgent report again, then looked at the Minister of Industry, "What do you say?"

"Your Majesty!" The Minister of Works looked anxious, "We did use gunpowder to open the river in order to meet the deadline, but the amount was calculated in advance, and it is impossible for it to cause casualties!"

"Then how do you explain the hundreds of casualties in the river bombing in Ping County?" Chu Younan raised his voice.

"I have a question too!" The Minister of Works was sweating anxiously, "Normally there isn't that much gunpowder. Gunpowder is also limited. It's unlikely that this would happen. Please investigate, Your Majesty!"

"I will naturally understand." Chu Younan said in a deep voice, "Go down first!"

The Minister of Industry left in a huff, and Chu Younan pressed his temples for a long time before walking out. However, he did not go to the Yangxin Palace or Kunning Palace, but walked towards the palace gate.

"Open the palace gate! I want to leave the palace!"

Although it is said that women are not allowed to interfere in politics, he now has to discuss this matter with Su Bei.

Su Bei had already gone to bed at this time. The Prince Jin's Mansion was quite nice. The bed arranged for her was big enough for her and her three children.

However, she was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly woken up by someone. She was very unhappy and angry and wanted to eat that person.

Today, Chu Younan didn't care about the cold air on his body, and directly held her in his arms, "Abei, it's me."

Well, after hearing the soft and deep voice, Su Bei's anger subsided a little, and he held his cold hand, "Why did you come here in the middle of the night? You haven't even put on your gloves yet, what are you in such a hurry for?"

Su Bei's tone was full of disdain. After all, when Chu Younan came before, he always closed the door in a hurry, and then...

But this time it was different. Chu Younan's tone was particularly solemn, "Abei, something happened."
