The atmosphere in the room was stagnant, and Song Shuwan got angry. She turned around and suppressed her. Even if she knew that Pei Huan was deliberately plotting against her, she had to take the initiative to cooperate at this time.
Half an hour later, a carriage left Yuanzhou City and headed straight for Mount Taihe marked on the map.
The silence along the way disappeared when we reached the foot of Mount Taihe.
Song Shuwan got off the carriage and frowned slightly as she looked at the mountain.
At this time, a strange secret guard came to the rear and said: "Prince Concubine, the Crown Prince went up the mountain yesterday. If nothing else, he should be in the village on the mountain."
Song Shuwan tilted her head slightly: "Are you sure there is a village on the mountain?"
"I'm sure, before the Crown Prince comes, my subordinates and others have already investigated the surrounding situation."
Yeah?
Song Shuwan glanced at the secret guard in front of her suspiciously. She did not doubt the speed of Pei Huan's men, but why would there be problems in a place that had already investigated the situation?
Moreover, the secret guard who took out the map did not follow him. Where did he go? Could it be that Pei Huan had other plans?
With this idea in mind, Song Shuwan set foot on Mount Taihe.
After about half an hour, a village appeared on the mountainside, and smoke could be seen rising from the kitchen in the distance.
Song Shuwan slowed down and said, "Feiyuan, go ahead and investigate the situation."
Fei Yuan walked out from behind and ran towards the village as fast as possible.
At the same time, Baicao also walked to the front.
But compared to their caution, Pei Huan's secret guards were much more relaxed, as if the surrounding situation could not affect them.
Song Shuwan saw this, and the suspicion in her heart became more and more serious.
Not long after, Fei Yuan ran back: "Prince Concubine, the prince is in the village. From the looks of it, there should be no danger."
"There should be no danger."
Song Shuwan repeated the six words, glanced at the secret guard again, and went straight into the village.
In the village, Pei Huan was talking to an old man. When he noticed the arrival of a group of people, his expression changed slightly: "Why are you here?"
When Song Shuwan heard this, her heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Didn't the Crown Prince send someone to send a message? Even the map is clearly marked."
"map?"
Pei Huan was stunned and suddenly reacted: "Dark One, Dark Three!"
"Swish swish——"
At this moment, arrows were flying from all over the sky. In an instant, the whole village was covered with blood. The villagers who had no time to dodge fell to the ground with smiles on their faces. Some of them were still injured but were not fatally injured.
pant.
But the next wave of arrows came.
In the room, Song Shuwan and Pei Huan were protected in the innermost area, and the secret guards waved their swords to block all missed arrows.
An Yi raised his foot and kicked the table in the room towards the door: "Your Majesty, we can't just sit in the room and wait for death."
Pei Huan said calmly: "When the arrows stop, you can kill him and go out. I want to see who is so powerful that he can bribe even the people around me."
Song Shuwan frowned and tightened her fingers hanging by her legs. She never thought that the people around Pei Huan would be bribed. No wonder she felt strange in her heart along the way.
"Who is the secret guard who gave you the map? Is he here?"
Song Shuwan came back to her senses: "I don't know who gave me the map. The secret guard didn't follow, but I remember the face. When things get done here, I will identify it for the prince."
Pei Huan nodded, his usually calm face now filled with anger. No matter who was hiding behind him, since he took action, he must be prepared for his revenge.
Not long after, the arrows outside stopped, and the secret guards seized the opportunity to rush out and fight with the people in the darkness.
Song Shuwan stood beside the wheelchair, her eyes darkened: "Your Majesty, the person behind the scenes..."
"I'll check."
Just three words interrupted everything Song Shuwan wanted to say. The sound of the swords clashing gradually became quieter, and An Yi and An San turned around with blood all over their bodies.
An Yi saluted: "Your Majesty, all assassins have been killed."
Pei Huan said "hmm", and a chill quickly flashed through his eyes: "Go back to Yuanzhou City."
Song Shuwan followed behind and walked all the way, her eyes hurting from the blood in the village: "Your Majesty, these villagers..."
"I will give them justice."
Song Shuwan clenched her fingers. Can justice bring these villagers back to life?
"Uuuuuu——"
Suddenly, a suppressed cry sounded. Song Shuwan looked sideways, her steps moved slightly and then stopped in place. She looked at Pei Huan with hesitation. Could she go and see what was going on over there?
"Your Majesty, I..."
Pei Huan said: "Let's go and have a look."
Song Shuwan nodded and trotted over with her skirt in hand. The girl who was crying was a seven or eight-year-old girl. She covered her mouth tightly, but she still couldn't stop her crying. Next to her, there was the body of a woman with round eyes.
He opened his eyes and had several arrows stuck in his back.
Obviously, it was the woman who saved the little girl.
Song Shuwan pursed her lips and stretched out her hand towards the little girl: "Let me go, I will support you in the future."
The little girl opened her eyes wide. After a long time, she stretched out her little hand and carefully placed it on the hand in front of her: "Who are you?"
"I am the Crown Princess of Dingyuan Hou Mansion."
Song Shuwan led the little girl around and whispered the situation to Pei Huan.
Pei Huan was silent and didn't say anything.
Soon, the group left the village and left Taihe Mountain as quickly as possible.
On the way back to the city, Song Shuwan realized that Pei Huan was really here to find someone. The so-called treatment of his leg was an excuse, but it was not entirely an excuse.
"If I recover in Beijing, it will not be a good thing for you, and it will affect some subsequent plans. Only by avoiding it first can we make better arrangements, but I didn't expect..."
Pei Huan snorted coldly and slapped his hand heavily on the armrest of the wheelchair.
Song Shuwan was speechless. Pei Huan's plan was correct, but the villagers in the village...
"Your Majesty, those villagers must not die in vain."
"I will not let their death be in vain."
Back in the city, Song Shuwan looked at all the secret guards but could not find the secret guard who took out the map.
When Pei Huan heard this, he immediately asked An Yi to rule it out, and quickly locked the secret guard who sent the map.
"It's Hailin."
Pei Huan closed his eyes slightly: "Look for him immediately. If he resists, he will be killed directly."
"yes!"
An Yi bowed and left.
Song Shuwan, who had been silent all the time, frowned: "Who is this Hai Lin?"
"The person in charge of handling information in the secret guard has basically seen all the information that comes to my hands."
Song Shuwan was stunned: "That means..."
"If he betrays me, a lot of information in my hands will be spread."
Pei Huan's tone was very solemn. If it were another secret guard, he wouldn't be so concerned.
Song Shuwan frowned: "He should have been betraying him for some time. Even if he is captured or killed now, it will be of no use, right?"
Pei Huan knocked on the armrest of his wheelchair: "It is true on the surface, but I also need to stop the loss and make sure he is under my control."
