The prince was furious not entirely because of Xiao Hai's death, but also because of Chu Ran's ignorance of him!
Xiao Hai was sent to escort food and wages, and he was even more of his confidant. Both Chu Ran and the Third Prince knew this very well.
But despite this, he was still cut off by Chu Ran’s order!
This is clearly giving him a warning!
The third prince, who is also a royal bloodline, ignored Chu Ran and let Chu Ran do this, which made the prince grit his teeth even more angry.
It would be fine if Chu Ran did this, but the third prince actually had a laissez-faire attitude.
This made a sentence sound in his ears again, "The ruthless one is the imperial family, and the royal family has no mercy!"
"Since you are all ruthless, don't blame me!!"
The prince gritted his teeth and roared.
Then he directly called the first-rank censor Yuan Shang and several generals and officials from the Yueshan Camp.
The prince looked at Yuan Shang: "What's the matter?"
Yuan Shang bowed and said, "The commander of the imperial palace's golden armored soldiers and the commander of the imperial city's golden armored soldiers have all been replaced by our people. The soldiers of Yueshan Camp have also entered a standby state. The entire imperial city is already in His Highness's
Under control, no matter what order His Highness wants to give, there will be no accident."
"good!"
The prince nodded, and a hint of indifference flashed in his eyes.
While pondering, the prince said, "Don't inform you, everything will be as usual. Remember, no abnormality is allowed!"
"Everything is normal?"
These words made everyone present stunned, a little confused.
Isn’t the prince going to force the palace?
What does this mean?
Could it be that the prince returns?
This made everyone's hearts sank, and one of them hurriedly said, "Your Highness, the prince, we are all ready, you can't hesitate anymore!"
An old man even said, "How can those who accomplish great things hesitate!"
"Hesitant? Is this prince a hesitant person?"
The prince then told everyone about his plan, which instantly attracted everyone's cheers, and they praised the prince's wisdom.
The prince stopped talking and asked Yuan Shang to follow him. The two of them entered the palace without taking one.
Yuan Shang was left behind, and the prince entered the imperial palace alone.
Not long after, the prince walked out of the bedroom again and looked directly at Yuan Shang.
"Send someone to notify the high priest. The emperor is uneasy and ask the high priest to deduce the lifeline of the Tianyue Kingdom in the future!"
"I informed the old man of the imperial teacher and told the imperial teacher that the emperor suddenly remembered his youth and asked him to go to the Northern King's Mansion and asked him to hand the letter to the Northern King Ji Gaishi!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Yuan Shang turned around and left.
The moment he turned around, Yuan Shang finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He knew that the prince was finally going to take action.
The two people who asked him to inform him can be said to be the emperor's right-hand man.
These two things will not happen in a short period of time, whether they are deducing the lifeline of the Tianyue Kingdom or going to the Northern Xinjiang Palace.
If these two people don’t show up, there will be no more accidents.
Once the crown prince ascends to the throne, he will be the first hero at that time!
...
A few days later.
Outside Hanshan City, a large army camp.
"Emperor Order: The emperor's condition has worsened and his life is in danger. He specially recruited the third prince Xiao Anmin and the general of Hutian Chu Ran to return to the imperial city and enter the palace to face the holy!"
An emperor's order was introduced into Chu Ran's commander's tent.
"Respect the Emperor's Order!"
"Respect the Emperor's Father's Order!"
Chu Ran and the third prince immediately bowed to accept the order.
After receiving the emperor's order, Chu Ran looked at the commander and asked: "Why did the emperor's condition suddenly worsen? Didn't it mean that the emperor's health has recovered a lot recently?"
The commemorative official nodded and said, "I don't know now. The commemorative official is just a commemorative official."
Chu Ran frowned slightly, thought for a while and asked again: "Have this military order been passed to others besides me and the third prince?"
The commander said: "There is also General Tianwei, who has already set off to return to the imperial city with a quick start!"
After the army set out to fight, the general kept guarding the Hutian Pass in the rear, so the first military order was passed to the general.
The messenger said: "I guess now, General Tianwei has arrived in front of the emperor."
"Goodbye!"
The messenger didn't say much and turned around and left.
Only Chu Ran and the third prince were left in the tent of the commander. The third prince directly prepared to pack up his luggage and returned to the imperial city in response to the imperial order.
But it was stopped by Chu Ran.
The third prince looked at Chu Ran with some confusion: "General, is there anything wrong with it?"
"I always feel that something is wrong with this emperor order!"
Chu Ran said in a deep voice: "How wise the emperor is? How could he not know the current situation of the battle on the front line?"
"Now, our army is confronting the rebels. If we call you and me back to the imperial city at this time, then who will lead the army?"
Chu Ran frowned and said, "Even if it is an edict, it should only be an edict to go back. I have never seen the emperor!"
The third prince thought for a while and said, "Maybe, it is because he has never seen you that the Emperor's Father thought of meeting him last before the funeral."
I have to say that this sentence does make some sense.
But Chu Ran always felt that this imperial edict came too suddenly.
It is impossible for the wise emperor to know that once he returns to the imperial city as well, it is likely that the rebels will make a comeback, and the territory that has just been recovered may fall into the hands of the rebels again.
After a while, I don’t know how many people will be displaced and die in war.
But the emperor's order will not be faked.
"Shadow Kill!"
In silence, Chu Ran took out Shadow Kill's messaging crystal and said, "Is there anything unusual in the imperial city?"
Soon, the sound of the murder came back: "Everything is fine in the imperial city!"
Still safe!
"I know the general is meticulous, but this time I'm too cautious!"
The third prince shook his head gently.
But Chu Ran did not relax his vigilance and continued, "Let your people go to the High Priest's Mansion to meet the High Priest and ask about the situation!"
Shadow Kill only said one word: "Okay!"
The third prince didn't say much, and waited for news with Chu Ran. He almost agreed with Chu Ran's ideas, and this time was no exception.
Not long after, the news came back: "My people did not see the high priest. According to the people in the mansion, the high priest received the emperor's order and deduced the future situation of the Tianyue Kingdom in seclusion!"
"knew."
Chu Ran then cut off the messaging crystal and said to himself: "Is the emperor really critically ill?"
The third prince shook his head slightly and said, "If this is the case, I will prepare!"
“Okay.”
Chu Ran finally nodded and said, "But when Your Highness goes back, bring some troops back to avoid accidents!"
The third prince asked, "What about you, General?"
Chu Ran said: "Your Highness, let's go back first. I want to resettle the army. After all, this is not a place for garrisons!"
"It should be so!"
The third prince nodded and finally left the handsome tent.
After the third prince led his troops away, Chu Ran also issued a general: "Three armies will decapitate the camp and return to the ancient city of Tianyuan!"
