The charming legitimate daughter is reborn, addicted to the abstinent prince's pampering

Chapter 58: The plank road was built openly and secretly to Chencang, and Li Daitao was cheated?

The mountain they were on was named Lingshan, and it was located two hundred kilometers north of Yong'an City.

Lingshan is deserted for hundreds of miles, and the mountains are full of birds and animals.

Before Concubine Wen came to Helian Kingdom, no one cared about it; after she came, the old emperor spent manpower and material resources to build a palace in Lingshan for her enjoyment in order to please her.

In summer, the old emperor and Concubine Wen came here to escape the summer heat, enjoy the coolness, watch the sea of ​​clouds, recite poems and have fun.

In winter, they would hunt in the Lingshan enclosure, which became the royal family's private hunting ground.

For this reason, Helianjue and Helianji decided to come to Lingshan for hunting. Not only were there many wild animals, but there were also palaces for them to live in.

Helianjue had accompanied the old emperor to Lingshan twice, and stayed here for ten and a half months each time. He was very familiar with the terrain of Lingshan and knew exactly where there were wolves and wild beasts.

Helian Jue walked quickly through the mountains and forests, closely pursuing him.

The more eager Helian Jue is, the more he will feel that there are huge interests hidden behind his actions this time. This benefit must be rare good news for their master, but they don't know that they have fallen into Jue Helian's trap. Deliberately created illusion.

Lord Helian led them away from the palace and into the depths of Lingshan.

Along the way, Xizuo didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment. It wasn't until Helian Jue suddenly stopped that they discovered that they were in a basin-like depression with a flat center and slopes on all sides.

In the dark night, the biting cold wind howled, and through the hazy moonlight on the horizon, they saw Helian Jue suddenly turn around, and the corners of his lips gradually raised in a strange arc.

"In order to monitor me, your master has really spent a lot of money."

He had used himself as bait from the beginning in the hope of attracting all Xizuos to him, but he never thought that the number of Xizuos would be so huge, reaching dozens of people.

There are so many people, including those sent by Concubine Wen, some sent by He Lianhuan, and maybe some people from He Lianzheng. I am afraid that even the craftsmen may not know whether the people around them are the same master as themselves.

"You...you've discovered us a long time ago?"

Helian Jue chuckled: "What else?"

The laughter floated to everyone's ears with the strong wind, and it was so sinister that people couldn't help but feel chills in their hearts.

At this moment, they finally realized that the prince was not a weak idiot who could be bullied. The depth of his city was unpredictable.

"How are you going?"

"Nothing, I just want to keep your lives."

Xiazuo has been cultivated with great effort. If they were all here, they would probably greatly weaken their master's vitality.

He Lianjue's actions during these two nights perfectly explained what it means to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, to scare the snakes away from grass, to lure the snakes out of their holes, and to catch them all in one fell swoop.

It will take time and effort to cultivate another group of experts. At that time, he can take the opportunity to put his own people in and change from passive to active. This move is Strategy No. 36 of "30 Strategies": Turn against customers.

Helian Jue raised his hand. One second there was no one around, and the next second countless black shadows appeared and surrounded them. The black shadows stood on the edge of the depression, with their bows and arrows fully drawn, all aimed at them. Work carefully in the pit.

This action was not a spur-of-the-moment move on his part. The archers had made arrangements before he left the city, just to shoot all of them to death in Lingshan tonight.

Helian Jue's raised arm waved down without hesitation, and at the same time, thousands of arrows were fired, and the rain of arrows penetrated the cold air and shot into the hot blood.

In an instant, a howl pierced the night sky from a corner of Lingshan, awakening the sleeping people in the palace.

Helianji thought he heard it wrong, but after listening carefully, he realized that it was not an hallucination. The miserable screams did indeed appear in Lingshan.

He opened his eyes suddenly and couldn't sleep anymore.

How could someone let out a heart-rending howl like a beast in the middle of the night?

Soon, the wailing sound slowly subsided, and then the wolves howled, not one or two, but a group of wolves howling at the same time, as if they had stabbed the wolf den.

Helianji hurriedly went to the ground to put on his shoes, without bothering to light the lamp, he casually put on his coat and hurriedly opened the door.

The moment the door opened, the sound of howling wolves doubled in volume. Just listening to it gave people goosebumps all over their bodies, as if the palace was surrounded by millions of wolves.

If you listen carefully, you will find that the sound is far away from the palace, but it is only in the dead of night and there are many wolves that you feel that the howling of wolves is right next to your ears.

Helianji's heart was beating wildly, and he thought to himself: Maybe the wailing of those people just now was because they encountered a pack of wolves?

But he didn't understand, it was so late, who would enter Lingshan?

At this moment, some soldiers suddenly broke into the courtyard where he was, looking panicked and unable to even speak.

"T-I'm telling you, His Highness the Fifth Prince, the number of people we brought... are few."

Helianji frowned: "What do you mean there are few people?"

For some reason, his heart began to panic, and he always had a bad feeling.

Immediately afterwards, the bad premonition continued to amplify with the soldiers' next words.

"The people brought by His Highness the Fifth Prince are missing."

Helianji's mind buzzed.

He brought more than 50 people this time, and almost all of these 50 people were assigned to him by the Second Emperor's brother. Their main task was to monitor Helian Jue's every move at all times.

So good, how could those people disappear without a trace?

"Gather the troops and do a head count."

The order was given and the soldiers were quickly summoned. Helianji's eyes passed over the faces of these people one by one, and his heart sank to the bottom.

Although he couldn't call everyone by name, he didn't know the people he brought.

These people in front of me were obviously from the Prince's East Palace, and there were only a few of his people, and the rest were all missing.

From time to time, the howling of wolves could still be heard in my ears, but the howling of humans had long since disappeared.

Helianji couldn't help but wonder if the people he brought would be eaten by wolves.

As soon as this idea appeared, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart. No, no, he must be overthinking it.

He pretended to be calm and asked:

"Where's the prince?"

"This......"

"This, this, this, His Highness's people disappeared for no reason. Didn't you inform the prince?"

"Back to Your Highness, the Crown Prince is also missing."

Helianji's mind suddenly grew bigger, and without caring about anything else, he hurriedly ran to Helianjue's residence and pushed open the door.

"Helianjue——" he shouted into the dark room.

After he finished speaking, he didn't get any answer. He rushed in and pulled open the bed curtain. Although the room was dark, he could still see that there was no one on the bed.

He reached out and touched the quilt, and his palms were cold, indicating that Helian Jue had been away for a long time.

Helianji walked out of the room in a daze and stood in the corridor with his mind blank. He hesitated for a while before he came back to his senses.

At this time, the wolves howling in the sky stopped.

His throat rolled, and he gave the command with difficulty:

"Let's wait until dawn before leaving the palace to search." It's not that he doesn't care about the life and death of his soldiers, but it's just that it's too dark and Lingshan is full of wild animals, making it too dangerous to leave the palace.

Helianji was exhausted inside, and he dragged his heavy body to go back to his room. However, the moment he stepped out of the door, he saw Helianjue without any warning.

As Lord Helian came closer, a burst of pungent blood spread.
