Mind Reading: The villain wins after hearing the princess's inner voice

With the help of a man in black, the left prime minister Wang Lingchang sat down to rest and quickly made a decision.

"Send a letter to King Junshan and tell him to meet me as soon as possible if he wants to find the treasure buried by the previous dynasty."

He already felt that His Majesty could no longer tolerate him. No, he could no longer sit there and wait for death.

In addition, Xiao Lichen, the eldest son of Prince Yong, has been leading the Xiaoyu Guards under his control in the court for the past six months and has been pulling out his students one after another. If this continues, he will soon be unable to handle the whole thing alone.

If Xiao Lichen finds out that the matter of the Duke of Zhuguo is related to him, it will be the death of the Left Prime Minister.

Outside.

The news spread throughout the capital.

After everyone knew about the evil deeds Wang Jue had done, many bold people ran to the gate of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion and shouted, cursed, and threw things at him.

The reputation of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion has been completely ruined in the hearts of the people in the capital.

In the end, it was the people from the Five Cities Military Division who came forward in person and persuaded the people to leave.

In a farmhouse in the suburbs of Beijing.

The bearded middle-aged man took the letter from his subordinate, held it in his hand and read it carefully.

"Go and prepare. I need to meet that person tonight. Send someone here to guard the young master to prevent him from causing trouble."

Junshan King Xiao Long put away the letter in his hand and said in a cold voice.

His subordinate Fei Qiong nodded in agreement. He thought for a moment and asked his master, "Master, the northern barbarians sent you a letter, asking you to help them buy a batch of refined salt, tea leaves, and high-quality iron when they leave the border this time!"

Upon hearing this, King Junshan became furious.

"Damn barbarians, their appetites are getting bigger every year. Tell them this is the last time I will help them!"

Xiao Long got up angrily and left the main hall of the courtyard.

The fourth prince Xiao Xiaocheng, who was imprisoned in the west wing, knocked over the food brought by a black-clad guard with one hand.

"I don't want to eat it. If you know what's best for you, send me back home."

Xiao Xiaocheng missed his mother, Concubine Huo, very much, and he missed the beautiful woman even more.

He never imagined that in the blink of an eye, he would be brought to this godforsaken place and locked up by a man who claimed to be his biological father.

At first, he was not allowed to go anywhere. A few days ago, he finally got a chance to go out for some fresh air. After meeting a relative of the Empress Dowager, he was ruthlessly taken away to live in another place.

Someone was also sent to tell him that in two days, someone would take him to Lingzhou in the northwest to settle down.

He didn't want to stay in the northwest where it was dry, rainless and full of sand.

Tonight, he must find a way to escape and return to Beijing to see his mother.

At this time, the Fourth Prince Xiao Xiaocheng did not know that Concubine Huo was dead, that his maternal grandfather, the Huo family, still existed, and he did not know that Emperor Jianchang already knew that he was not his biological son.

His biological father, King Junshan, did not tell him the truth, nor did he appear in front of Xiao Xiaocheng in his true identity.

Every time the father and son met, King Junshan always disguised himself and never took off the human skin mask and beard on his face.

night.

Zhenguo General's Mansion.

Tao Zhihong had just returned from work outside and had no time to have dinner with his wife, so he rushed to the study.

"General, the Northern Barbarians' delegation has left the post station today and is on their way back home."

"Did you find anyone from the Northern Barbarians' delegation in contact during this period of surveillance?"

The subordinate shook his head, saying that after attending His Majesty's Qianqiu Banquet, these people usually went to brothels to drink.

Those people were very well-behaved in the brothel and didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

Apart from this, only the Minister of Rites, in accordance with the rules, escorted these northern barbarians on their way out of the capital. No other officials had any private contact with this group of northern barbarian envoys.

After listening to the report, Tao Zhihong hesitated for a while and said to his men, "Keep a close eye on the movements of the northern barbarians along the way, and report any abnormalities you find along the way."

After receiving the order, the subordinate left in a hurry.

Tao Zhihong sat alone in the study, lost in thought.

Based on his understanding of the northern barbarians, it was impossible for them to leave the Great Zhou honestly.

They must have some ulterior motive, otherwise, it would go against the predatory nature in their blood.

In order to find out the real purpose of these people coming to the Great Zhou, he decided to go out in person tonight to test these northern barbarians.

There has been no news from Zhang Hu, who was in charge of looking for the whereabouts of his eldest son, and no one knows what has happened to him.

Tao Zhihong stood in front of the window, with his hands behind his back, thinking for a long time.

A flying pigeon landed in front of the window.

He picked up the pigeon, took down the message, and after reading it, his brows lowered on his resolute face.

After thinking for a while, Tao Zhihong replied and released the pigeon.

When he went to have dinner with his wife and daughter, he showed no sign of worry.

After dinner, Tao Yuwei returned to her yard.

After washing up and lying down, she just activated her mental strength when she learned from a night cat that her father did not go out through the main gate, but went out of the house over the wall wearing a night suit.

Tao Yuwei suddenly became energetic.

She was quite bored, so she decided to quietly follow her father to see what was going on.

He quickly put on his clothes, used his inner strength, and also jumped over the high wall of his home, chasing after Tao Zhihong and leaving Beijing.

Tao Zhihong was traveling all night, and if someone else followed him, he would probably be discovered. But Tao Yuwei was different. In addition to her strong kung fu and internal strength, she also used her mental power. So Tao Yuwei had her own advantages in tracking people silently.

After nearly two hours of travel, Tao Zhihong finally stopped near an inn two hundred miles away from the capital.

Tao Zhihong stood in a woods not far from the post station, looking in the direction of the post station, lost in thought.

Something is wrong!

Something is wrong. The horses ridden by the northern barbarians are famous for being good horses that can run a thousand miles.

If these northern barbarians want to return to their country as soon as possible, they should travel more than two hundred miles in a day.

He seemed to have figured out something.

He still needs to confirm the remaining things in person before he can proceed.

Fortunately, he had disguised himself in the mansion, so people who were not familiar with him would not suspect him.

Tao Zhihong took out a black scarf, covered his face with it, and started to act.

Tao Yuwei, who was following behind him, seemed to have figured out something.

She quickened her pace and followed her father to the back door of the post station and entered.

Tieshan, who was guarding outside and responsible for tracking the northern barbarian delegation, and several of his men took turns to monitor the movements inside the post station.

They haven't noticed anything going on inside yet.

In the stable in the backyard of the post station, Tao Zhihong first subdued a post station servant who was responsible for feeding the horses in the middle of the night, and forced him to reveal the room where the northern barbarians were.

Especially the room where Kutuji, the left prime minister of the Northern Barbarians, rests.

After knocking the man unconscious and dragging him to an empty room, Tao Zhihong went straight to his target.

Tao Yuwei, who was hiding not far away, saw her father's actions clearly.

She held her breath, afraid that her father would find out.
