Chapter 269: Unable to Answer
Chen Heng: “…”
Just as the three were talking, Li Hu suddenly jumped down from the roof. He no longer used his hands and feet to climb over the wall in an indecent manner as before. His movements were crazy.
But it still scared Chen Heng and Xia Shi.
"Is that so?" Xie Jian asked. Li Hu and Da Wei had been quietly learning from the Si family's assassins. Their kung fu was even better than that of the Si family's assassins. They also trained several assassins for him. If there was nothing wrong, they would not appear in this way.
"Sir, a great victory was won in Wanzhou. The Crown Prince led his troops to recapture Xi County and Yiyao County."
Is this kind of thing worth Li Hu jumping down from the roof to tell him in person? Xie Jian frowned: "Just tell me the important things."
Li Hu said solemnly, "Major General Sun was betrayed by a spy. The enemy tied him to a chariot and threatened the general and the crown prince to hand over the two counties. The general ultimately shot the young general dead himself."
Shen Heng couldn't believe what she heard.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to stop the general, but failed." Li Hu said.
Xia sat on the porch railing, a look of heartache on her face. A father had actually shot his own son to death? How could such a thing happen? He was his own son, how could he have done that?
Chen Heng suddenly remembered that she had performed this version of the story for the prince in Zhuyoushu, and she never expected that something similar would happen in reality.
"If nothing unexpected happens, there will be news of a great victory in the next month." Xie Jian said, and then his eyes moved, and a hidden worry suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Sir, what's wrong?" Li Hu had followed Xie Jian for so long and understood his every move.
Seeing that his sister-in-law and Ah Heng were both looking at him, Xie Jian didn't want them to worry too much, so he just said, "It's nothing, it's getting late, I should go to work."
After seeing Xie Jian off and watching him get into the official sedan chair and leave, Xia and Shen Heng were about to go back into the house when they saw Nanny and Tan Yun coming back.
The nanny went to buy thread and cloth, planning to make some small winter clothes for Liu Zhiyue's son.
Speaking of these, Xia was extremely interested, and for a moment her sadness was diluted.
On the way to the shop, Chen Heng kept thinking about the hidden worry that flashed in Xie Jian's eyes. She somewhat understood what he was worried about.
The Crown Prince's prestige is growing, and the Fourth Prince is afraid that he will take action.
If we really want to do something at this time, Taizi Mountain is too high and the road is long, and it is out of reach.
Five days later, news of victory came again. The prince led his troops and recaptured three counties in one go.
Eight days, ten days, good news came one after another.
The people ran around to tell each other and were overjoyed.
By the end of April, half of Wanzhou had been recovered.
The person that the common people talked about most was the prince.
Chen Heng also thought that the prince had fought beautifully in the past few battles. She never thought that someone like the prince could actually fight. Then she thought of the prince's life experience.
Besides the Queen, she is the only one in this world who knows the Prince's life story.
Chen Heng began to feel conflicted again. Both the Crown Prince and Xie Jian were capable of causing great upheavals, and neither of them could mess with her.
Just when Shen Heng was struggling, that night, Meng Xuanlang angrily dragged Xie Jian into the hall.
People who don’t know would think this is the Meng family.
