After settling the little emperor, Zhang Bao walked out with Princess Yongtai.
He did not tell Princess Yongtai about the little emperor's poisoning. Anyway, he was out of Cao Kang's range now and would not continue to ingest it.
Whether he can survive or not depends on the little emperor's own destiny.
"By the way, speaking of which, I still don't know what your name is. Now that we're on this journey, I can't keep calling you Madam, right?"
Zhang Bao asked Princess Yongtai with a smile.
Princess Yongtai:......
This is true. When you are in front of people, in order to hide your identity, there is no problem in calling you madam, but when there is no one, it is not good to call you like that. If you call me princess, you worry about being heard by others.
It is indeed more convenient not to call me by name.
"My name... isn't very nice, you can just call it whatever you want..."
Princess Yongtai hesitated for a moment, then pouted and said to Zhang Bao.
"As I said, no matter how bad the name is, it was given by your parents. I don't dislike you."
Zhang Bao said to Princess Yongtai.
Princess Yongtai walked for a long time with her head lowered, then hesitantly said: "Okay..."
"Then let's talk about it first, you can't laugh at me..."
"My name is... Zhu Cuihua..."
Princess Yongtai said softly.
"What?"
"Zhu Cuihua?"
Zhang Bao almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but looking at Princess Yongtai's murderous eyes, he swallowed the mocking voice abruptly.
"Well... I will suffer a little loss. I will call you Madam from now on..."
Zhang Bao said with a smile.
"you--"
"Hmph! I knew I shouldn't have told you."
Princess Yongtai pouted and said.
This is also something that can't be helped.
Although Princess Yongtai's father is also a prince with a different surname, he was also an illiterate soldier at the beginning. Over the years, he rose through the ranks with his military exploits with one sword after another!
Although he holds a high position, in the final analysis, he is still a soldier. When naming a child, what kind of elegant name can he come up with?
Naturally, it was named after the common girls' names in their village.
Coupled with this surname, the combination is indeed a bit earthy to the extreme...
At this moment.
There was a sound of horse hooves behind me.
Zhang Bao quickly pulled Princess Yongtai and hid aside.
If Zhang Bao hadn't reacted quickly, the two of them would have been knocked down by the rushing horses.
What rushed over was a group of soldiers. Regardless of whether they were on the street or not, they galloped all the way. Many people who were slow to avoid were knocked away.
Zhang Bao frowned.
Along the way, I saw too many soldiers.
And it was a little too unscrupulous.
I didn't expect that there would be so many people in Xiazhou, even in this small town. By rough calculation, it was definitely more than 300,000.
If we really want to fight Xiazhou head-on, it would be difficult to handle.
Fan Hanzhong is stationed in Liaozhou and cannot leave easily. It depends on Fan Hanzhong being there to suppress him.
Although it is summer now, with the water network of Nanxiang County, they can barely stop their people.
But if this battle continues into winter and the river freezes, Nanxiang County's advantage will be gone, and it will be difficult to deal with so many people.
What to do next?
Zhang Bao frowned and thought, but didn't notice that when he was hiding just now, he was holding Princess Yongtai in his arms.
Princess Yongtai also looked at the men and horses rushing past in shock, without realizing it at all.
After seeing the men and horses walking away, he realized that he was being held tightly by Zhang Bao and quickly broke free.
Only then did Zhang Bao come back to his senses.
"Let's go!"
“Go ahead and take a look!”
Zhang Bao said to Princess Yongtai.
…
Inside the capital at this time.
It has become a mess.
Da Sima Mansion.
Now the Grand Sima Cao Kang no longer cares about pretending to be injured.
Sitting on the chair above with a livid face, there were many staff sitting below.
In the past few days, I have searched inside and outside the capital, but no clues have been found.
But the place where Zhang Bao and the others dug the hole was discovered.
Although Zhang Bao and the others buried as much as possible.
However, all the soil that was dug out has been spread in other yards, and the height of several yards has been raised by more than half a meter.
No matter how stupid the searcher is, he can still find it.
"Sir, after much thought, I still feel that this matter is quite strange."
Ban Gu put down his tea cup and said to Cao Kang.
"explain!"
Cao Kang turned to look at Ban Gu.
It can be said that I have been extremely unlucky recently.
I thought that all preparations had been made secretly, but I didn't expect that with the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind, someone actually stole the emperor out under his nose.
This was a great shame and humiliation for Cao Kang!
Moreover, the news of the emperor's disappearance spread out somehow.
Now my reputation is completely shattered!
Moreover, his plan to attack those old ministers was spread out for some reason, and now the name Cao Kang has become synonymous with national thieves!
Imprison the emperor, assassinate loyal ministers, and raise an army to rebel!
Riding on a horse!
They were all placed on their heads one by one.
Cao Kang is very depressed now. Call it quibble, he is indeed involved in these things, but I am not so absolute!
And these are goals!
Before I even finished doing it, someone yelled at me.
Investigation after investigation, but there are no clues.
As if overnight, his notoriety spread.
Cao Kang was so angry that he vomited blood.
Not to mention, without the little emperor now, Cao Kang's subsequent plans cannot be carried out.
What worries Cao Kang even more is that if this little emperor falls into the hands of others, it will be terrible!
Even now, he can still control hundreds of thousands of people in Daxia.
But once the emperor shows up again, it will be hard to say.
Maybe many of his subordinates will turn against him soon.
So Cao Kang has now issued an order. Once the emperor and his group are discovered, they will be killed without mercy!
The current emperor is better dead than alive!
It's best never to show up, this is the most advantageous situation.
"As for who kidnapped the emperor, I think the people from Hezhou are the most likely!"
"Now that several states around us have too much time to take care of themselves, how could they choose to bring the emperor there?"
"Besides, they don't have the confidence!"
Ban Gu pointed his hand at the table and said.
"I know what you're talking about!"
"Besides Zhang Bao, there can be no one else!"
"Before, they killed imperial envoys and imprisoned eunuchs. They never took me seriously from the beginning!"
