Huo Xinyan nodded grimly: "Your Majesty is currently sending people to track down the whereabouts of those 50,000 people, but there is no news yet."
At this time, Chu Jinglin stood up and said, "We can't stay in the camp any longer. We need to retreat to the palace first."
The walls inside the palace can hold out for a while, but here the tents are all prone to falling down and cannot be used as shelter at all.
Han Xiao also nodded in agreement, returning to the palace would at least allow them to hold out for a while longer.
But how should I tell these ministers about this? I can't just say that the second prince is going to rebel and that they should all go back to the palace and hide.
Han Xiao was well aware of the importance of public panic, and the truth must not be told, for fear of alerting the enemy.
Now the second prince is still looking for an opportunity to take action. If the news leaks out, it will be disastrous if they become desperate and do something bad.
After some discussion, the three decided to retreat back to the palace first, and Huo Xinyan and Chu Jinglin would go to protect the emperor.
Han Xiaoyou hurried away on horseback, but before leaving, he asked Xing Yi to bring Han Mingyuan and Han's mother back.
Han Mingyuan, a weak scholar, has always been indifferent to fighting and killing.
Not to mention Han's mother, she had to bring the two back first for their safety.
After Han Xiao rushed back to the palace, he asked people to guard outside the palace gate and lock the palace gate after Han Mingyuan and others came back.
In the evening, Han Mingyuan and his mother came back with confused looks on their faces. They still didn't know what had happened, so they could only listen to Xing Yi and come back first.
Unexpectedly, not long after they left, they heard the news that the camp was being dismantled. It was said that the emperor had a headache and wanted to return to the palace to recuperate. Although the other ministers were puzzled, they had to obey the emperor's order.
Only some playboys who hadn't had enough fun were secretly muttering in their hearts.
The second prince went to find Hu Yansui with a gloomy face, and both of them looked unhappy when they met.
"Do you think my father has noticed anything?" the second prince asked worriedly.
Hu Yansui waved his hand and pretended to be calm: "Impossible, Mr. Mo has always been very careful and cautious, he would definitely not let the news leak out. Maybe it's really your father who is not feeling well?"
The second prince remained silent and did not respond, but he always felt that things were not that simple. However, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. It had been done, and now there was nothing else to do.
And even if we return to the palace, what can we do? Do we really think we can shake their 50,000-strong army with only a few thousand soldiers?
After comforting himself in his heart, the Second Prince cheered up and said, "Then notify Mr. Mo and tell them to speed up the process. I'm afraid something might happen if we delay."
Coincidentally, Hu Yansui also thought so, so he asked them to go back to the palace first, and wait for Mo Lao to arrive with the Northern Di army so that they could catch them in a trap.
There will be all kinds of beauties by then. Hu Yansui couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he thought of the young master. This time he was determined to get the young master.
But first he had to deal with that annoying Han Xiao. He had to torture Han Xiao himself, and then in front of Han Xiao...
Hu Yansui's expression became more and more obscure, and the Second Prince felt uncomfortable. He didn't know what disgusting things the lecher was thinking about, so he could only suppress it for the time being.
After speaking a few words to Hu Yansui, the second prince led his men back to the palace.
This time the return to the palace was very fast. Only a few people were arranged to guard the camp, and all the rest were taken back by the emperor.
Han Xiao was staying in the palace when he heard the noise outside. He frowned and asked Shiwu to go next door to see if Lu Qingyun had returned.
Before Fifteen went out, he heard someone knocking on the door outside the palace. Han Xiao looked outside and saw that it was Lu Qingyun and the others.
After having the palace servants let them in, Lu Qingyun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said sympathetically, "Han Xiao, you'd better be alert, otherwise we'll really be wiped out."
Although the current situation is not much better.
Looking at Lu Qingyun's expression, Han Xiao knew that Lu Qingyun already knew about it, and asked Shiwu to arrange accommodation for the two of them. In the current situation, it is safer to live together.
The young master was so happy to see Liu Anlan coming that he took Liu Anlan's hand and led him into the inner room. The two hadn't seen each other for a few days and had endless private conversations.
After the two young men left, Lu Qingyun's face darkened. Liu Anlan was with him just now and he didn't want to make Liu Anlan worry too much, so he stayed strong and acted fine.
Han Xiao understood what he was thinking and just patted him on the shoulder, believing that General Huo Xinyan would definitely have a solution.
Lu Qingyun sighed and said, "Yes, now we can only rely on General Huo. But Han Xiao, I will leave An Lan with you, please help me protect him."
Han Xiao raised his eyebrows: "What about you?"
"I have to go and protect the Third Prince. The situation on the Third Prince's side may be even more dangerous at this time..." Lu Qingyun's voice became heavier and heavier.
He knew what he would face if he stayed by the Third Prince's side, but their Lu family and Chu Jinglin were tied together, and they would prosper together and suffer together.
Seeing this, Han Xiao didn't try to persuade him: "Okay, leave Liu Anlan to me, don't worry, but you should be careful too. I'll have a drink with you again after this is over."
"Of course, it's too difficult to ask you to treat me. I must drink this wine. But don't worry, if I am still alive this time, it will be regarded as a great achievement." Lu Qingyun raised his eyebrows and said.
"Don't say that. It's unlucky. Don't worry. I've already sent someone to find Xiu Ran. I'll also try my best to send someone to support me when the time comes."
However, Han Xiao had no idea how many people to bring.
Now we just hope that General Huo can come back as soon as possible, and that the emperor's people who are still alive can transfer as many troops as possible from the nearby capital, otherwise they will be in real danger this time.
Lu Qingyun brought Liu Anlan here this time and left after sitting for a while. Han Xiao felt even more uneasy looking at his back.
But not long after, a group of people came this way. Han Xin looked carefully and found that it was Lu Cheng, the third prince's guard.
Lu Cheng still had an expressionless face. When he saw Han Xiao, he bent down and said, "My Lord, I am here in the name of the Third Prince to protect the safety of the young prince."
Han Xiao's heart moved. He didn't expect that the Third Prince would actually let Lu Cheng come. Looking at Lu Cheng's expression, Han Xiao knew that Lu Cheng was unwilling. He immediately sighed and said, "Brother Lu, leave the people behind and go back to protect the Third Prince. I'm fine here."
Lu Cheng shook his head and arranged for the guards to guard the palace gate with a stern face. Han Xiao touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed, but he didn't dare to persuade him too much.
After thinking about it, Han Xiao went back and sorted out the things he brought. Originally, Han Xiao brought a few crossbows with him for this autumn hunt, thinking of protecting the young master's safety.
I didn't expect it to be used here.
