She will never forget that she is just a woman, and when facing men, women are often the weaker party.
Seeing that Su Mengyan didn't react, Situ Zhao smiled and said, "Why are you scared? Don't you want to save your poisoned friends and palace maids?"
Sure enough, this matter was related to him. Su Mengyan didn't care too much about it. She just asked someone to open the prison door and walked in.
Looking at Su Mengyan who was so close, Situ Zhao smiled: "The Crown Princess is indeed kind-hearted. She puts herself in danger for the sake of others' lives. I admire you, my brother."
"Stop talking nonsense. Where is the antidote?" Su Mengyan was not in the mood to talk too much with him.
"Want the antidote? Okay, let me out and I'll give you the antidote." Situ Zhao finally stated his request.
This request made Su Mengyan silent for a while. Su Mengyan asked, "You have been in prison the whole time. It is impossible for you to poison my people. Tell me, is it Cui Mixue who did it?"
Su Mengyan is not a fool. She was really anxious at first, so she believed what Situ Zhao said about the poison.
Now think about it carefully, Situ Zhao's ability to move has been restricted, so how could he possibly attack his own people? And he did it so secretly.
Cui Mixue, on the other hand, had absolute ability to act, and he had once told her to wait to be buried with Situ Zhao.
Therefore, it is very likely that Cui Mixue was the one who poisoned him.
Looking at Situ Zhao, he was silent at this time and didn't say a word.
On the other side, Situ Yao's army had already arrived in Xi'an.
"Report, Your Highness the Crown Prince, there is an urgent report from the capital, saying that the Seventh Prince Situ Zhao has escaped from prison." When the guard came to report, it was three days after they set up camp.
Situ Yao frowned. How could this happen? With Su Mengyan in the capital, how could Situ Zhao escape?
It’s not that he doubts Su Mengyan’s ability, but he is a little worried whether Situ Zhao’s escape will be detrimental to Su Mengyan?
However, he was thousands of miles away and there was nothing he could do even though he was worried. He could only try his best to solve the problem at hand before he could return to the capital to help Su Mengyan.
Thinking of this, Situ Yao summoned several generals under his command. After some discussion, they prepared to attack the bandits.
The bandits in Xi'an area are very aggressive and have been entrenched here for a long time. There are quite a few of them.
Situ Yao tried to take action several times, but each time ended in failure.
On the one hand, he was troubled by the bandits, and on the other hand, he was worried about whether Su Mengyan would be plotted against while she was alone in the capital.
Two things made Situ Yao exhausted.
The fact that they couldn't even find the bandits' lair made their soldiers begin to waver.
The shaking of military morale is a major taboo in military strategy. If the military morale is shaken, then this time we will definitely be defeated.
Situ Yao also knew this, so the top priority now was how to stabilize the morale of the army.
Several people were discussing solutions in Situ Yao's tent.
"Every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses. We will not lose to others in a battle with soldiers, but we don't understand bandits. Maybe we should find a way to understand their living habits." Someone suggested.
This is indeed a good idea. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
But how can they understand the habits of bandits?
Speaking of bandits, Situ Yao thought of one person, the leader Chu.
So, Situ Yao said, "Speaking of bandits, I do have a candidate here. Let me invite him over first."
After a while, the head of the Chu family learned about the troubles that Situ Yao and others were facing.
After a little thought, I figured out the key to the problem.
"If we want to know the bandits' lair, someone must go and explore the way," said the head of Chu.
They all know these things, and the problem now is how to explore the way forward.
"Boss, do you have any ideas?" Situ Yao asked.
The prince invited me here, which meant he thought highly of me. So, if that was the case, why not give him a hand?
"Catering to his tastes." said the head of the Chu family.
Some people didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean?"
The leader of the Chu family was stunned when he saw him. He thought to himself, this man is an official of the imperial court, how could he be worse than a bandit leader like me?
"Since they are bandits, they will definitely rob. If anyone resists, they will capture him and take him to the mountain, and then notify his family to come and pay money to redeem him." explained the head of the Chu family.
When he said this, many people suddenly understood.
"You mean to have them pretend to be robbed and then follow them up the mountain?" Someone asked, "But what if they don't behave and kill these people?"
"No, what I mean is to have someone pretend to be caught, and then take the opportunity to catch those bandits. This way we don't have to worry about our people being killed." said the boss Chu.
This is a good idea.
Seeing that no one refused, Situ Yao slammed his hand on the table and said, "Okay, let's do it this way."
He didn't have time to think of a better solution now, as he was still waiting to go back to protect Su Mengyan.
Whatever is the fastest way to catch all the bandits?
Sure enough, things went just as they planned, everything went smoothly.
Looking at the captured bandits, Situ Yao and others began to ask them about the route up the mountain.
After all, this is their purpose. As long as they can grasp the routes they take up and down the mountain, it will not be difficult to attack the bandits.
Looking at the incidents that had happened one after another in her palace before, Su Mengyan understood that there must be something wrong in her palace.
For safety reasons, she arranged for Chu Meng to live somewhere else.
Just when Chu Meng was about to take a break, the door suddenly opened.
"Who is it? Is there anything else?" Chu Meng thought it was a palace maid or someone else who had something to ask.
Who knew that the man was wearing black clothes and black pants, with a black scarf covering his face, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
Even someone as naive as Chu Meng could see that this person was definitely not a good person.
However, she didn't remember offending anyone, so why did this person come?
"Who are you? What are you going to do?" Chu Meng had never experienced such a thing before, and she was so scared that she wanted to scream.
The man held the knife in his hand: "Shut up."
Chu Meng was startled. Looking at the man's knife, she obediently stopped shouting.
But in my heart I really hope that someone will show up at this time.
"What do you want? I'm just a little girl, I don't know anything." Chu Meng hoped that by saying this, this person would give up the idea of attacking her.
She would not be a match for this man. In fact, she was certain that he could kill her with one knife.
