Qianqianjie, kidnap a reborn prince back to the modern era

Prince Sheng's Palace.

"Five days later, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will lead his men to hunt at Xiaoxi Mountain. Xia Jun has been arranged to clear the area in advance. Please send us troops."

Deputy General Li Hu came to Prince Sheng's Mansion early in the morning and reported to Cangyu.

"Okay, let Xia Jun pick the people himself, the more the better. Arrange a few of our people to blend into his team and guide him to find the secret barracks. We can use this opportunity to wipe out the Xibohou Mansion's forces in the barracks."

Two days later.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"

The guard commander Xiao Qing did not care that the prince was resting in the Zhuyu Courtyard at the moment. He stood in the courtyard and disturbed him.

The prince, wearing an outer coat and with unsteady steps, pushed the door open and came out.

"Hou Xibo led his men to Xiaoxi Mountain to set up a hunting ground in advance. They found a training camp in the dense forest in the distance, with an estimated number of several thousand people. They started fighting right away, and all five or six hundred men brought by Hou Xibo were killed or wounded, including Hou Xibo Xia Jun, who died on the spot."

"The third son of the Marquisate, Xia Wei, ran back with his kung fu to report the news, and he was also seriously injured."

"What? There are private soldiers hiding in Xiaoxi Mountain?"

Prince Cangxun suddenly stood up from his chair, his voice shattered.

"Whose?" he shouted.

"do not know."

Xiao Qing just got the news and rushed over to report it, but he still hasn't figured out what exactly happened.

"Send someone to investigate immediately. I will go to the palace immediately and report to my father."

Emperor Cang Hantian sat on the dragon throne, looking down at the ministers who were making a fuss in the hall, his expression gloomy.

"Someone was found training private soldiers deep in Xiaoxi Mountain? Can anyone tell me what's going on now?"

Cangyu stepped out, his expression stern, and stated.

"Your Majesty, I heard the news today. I led the protection battalion to provide support and have taken everyone under control. After counting, there were 5,800 people in total, and 1,020 people died in the melee, of which 570 were people Xibo Hou Xia Jun seconded from the Jingji Protection Battalion."

"According to the confessions of the detained people, they were all refugees who were brought here one year ago and were arranged to train every day. As for who brought them here and who arranged the training, no one knew. The person in charge of the training base ran away after the incident. When we rushed there, only these people were left, fleeing everywhere."

"He is raising private soldiers at the foot of the imperial city. Is he planning a rebellion? Father must investigate and find out who has such great ambitions!"

Prince Cangxun could not suppress his excitement and leapt for joy, and spoke passionately.

It's too scary. Once Xiao Xishan's private army grows to a certain size, even if he, the prince, is lucky enough to sit in that position, it will be just a pipe dream.

who is it?

Who is so bold as to raise private soldiers?

Fortunately, the scale is not too large now.

In the hall, all the ministers looked at each other, unable to understand the emperor's true thoughts behind his gloomy expression. They all lowered their heads and remained silent like quails.

Only Cangyu stood in the hall with a serious face, firm eyes, tall as a pine tree, and full of justice.

Prince Ning Cangmin still looked gentle and weak, as if the dispute in the council hall had nothing to do with him, and he looked indifferent to fame and fortune.

"The prince will follow up on this matter and continue to investigate."

The old emperor pondered for a while, then gave the order as if he was tired.

"Yes! I will definitely fulfill your mission."

Prince Cangxun's excitement was beyond words.

He must find out the person behind this and remove a stumbling block on his way to success.

"How should we deal with those private soldiers? Does anyone have any suggestions?"

The old emperor looked a little tired. He glanced at Prince Ning below and asked impatiently.

"I suggest that since those soldiers are all poor civilians and have been trained for more than a year, they should be incorporated into the protection camp."

Cang Yu spoke calmly, glancing at Cang Min's gradually pale face.

"Okay, just settle it down."

"Yes, I will make sure to arrange for it properly."

Emperor Dong Cang frowned, looked at the extremely excited Cang Xun, and said, "Xibo Hou Xia Jun died for his country. The Crown Prince and the Queen will go to offer condolences on my behalf. I will ask the Ministry of Rites to give him generous compensation and rewards."

"Your Majesty, I, as your son, would like to thank you for your grace on behalf of the Xibo Marquis

Crown Prince Cangxun knelt down and bowed.

The moment he looked up, he suddenly realized from his excitement that his loss seemed to be huge.

......

Prince Ning's Mansion.

Cang Min loosened his hands, which had turned white from nervousness, and slowly sat down on the chair in the study.

"Chang Ting, have you found out why the Xiaoxishan base was discovered?"

The kneeling man was Chang Ting, the deputy commander of the imperial guards who had escaped after killing Xibohou in the battle.

Over the past year, he was ordered to establish a secret base and arrange training plans.

"Your Highness, according to investigation, it was the Crown Prince who planned to go hunting in Xiaoxi Mountain in five days. The two brothers of Xibohou brought the borrowed soldiers who went to the Jingji Protection Camp yesterday to clear the area and build a fence."

"Hunting usually takes place at the foot of the mountain. It's impossible for them to go this far. Someone must have discovered the private soldier breeding base and is heading for us."

Cang Min did not expect that he would fail in his mission and suffer heavy casualties.

"How's the cleanup going? The prince will definitely not let go, but will there be any clues that will reveal our identities?"

Cang Min's face was serious.

It's really a pity for him, but he still has to get through this hurdle first.

This is a force that belongs to him alone. In a few years, it is very likely to grow to tens of thousands of people. By then, the world will belong to him.

"Except for some weapons left at the scene, there is no real evidence. Our people have retreated back to the Dark Guard Camp."

"Notice them not to take any action during this period. We need to find a way to resolve the impact of this incident as quickly as possible and divert everyone's attention."

......

Xibohou Mansion.

On the tall door lintel, two huge white flowers showed the solemnity and sadness in the mansion. Xia Jun's death had a huge impact on the Xibohou Mansion.

Hou and a group of concubines and their daughters cried beside the coffin.

Xia Feng inherited the title of the new Marquis of Xibo, and took the men to the front yard to look after the mourners.

Xia Wei was seriously injured and lay in bed unable to get up.

One of his legs was stabbed twice, so deep that the bone was visible. The doctor said it was likely that he could not be saved.

When Crown Prince Cangxun accompanied the Queen to pay her respects, she looked extremely sad.

Xia Jun was the pillar of the Xibohou Mansion and had always protected him and his mother.

After the old marquis passed away, the three brothers had a very good relationship, making the Xibo Marquisate the only prosperous marquisate, which always made Emperor Dongcang fearful, and thus he preserved his position as the crown prince.

"Empress, Your Highness, we must avenge our eldest and third brothers. Please find the person behind this as soon as possible."

After Xia Feng accompanied the Queen Mother and Crown Prince Cangxun to burn incense, he led Cangxun to the study and asked his wife and Hou to arrange for the Queen Mother and the Fifth Princess to take a rest in the backyard.

"There are no clues at the moment. This base is extremely secretive. I have arranged for people to interrogate the people who have been discovered. It is indeed as Cangyu said. They are all refugees from the surrounding Lin County. They were tricked into entering the mountains in the past year for team training."

Prince Cangxun felt a headache and rubbed his brows helplessly. He had not slept for two days and nights because of this.

"It has been less than a year since Prince Sheng Cangyu returned. It is impossible that he arranged these people in advance. He can be ruled out for the time being. Prince Ning is fond of writing and poetry every day. It is impossible for such a large-scale private army to be the work of a weak man like him. I have no clue about this matter at the moment."

"I don't think this is an accident. I always feel like there is someone behind the scenes pushing for this to be exposed. As for who it is and what the conspiracy is, I still haven't figured it out."

Shang Taifu's youngest son, Shang Qing, is not only the prince's study partner, but also his aide. In the past few days, he has been working hard for Cangxun.

Cangxun is a man without his own opinions. He has not made any achievements since he became the crown prince. It was thanks to Shang Qing's advice and the support of the Xibohou Mansion that he received support.
