The Prince of Rebirth

"Did you see something when you went to the village yesterday?"

He Zheng asked nonchalantly, but Cheng Ming dared not answer carefully.

"Because the security around is tight, the subordinates dare not move around at will. They only searched around the hot spring pool, but there is no abnormality in the other side, only one..."

"What's the matter?"

"The hot spring Zhuangzi has a lot of servants."

There is not much limit to the number of captive servants of a large family in Beijing. After all, families with a little history have a large population. It is understandable that there are more servants to match them. These are generally necessary for the decoration of one's own mansion. , so that more servants are sent to other honorable families, but there is nothing wrong with it.

But the Lin family is a little special.Their serious masters in Beijing are only three including Xia Jin, even if they are just to act as fronts and provide daily guards, the number of servants is really too much.

At that time, Cheng Ming was only active near the hot spring pool. Although he couldn't find out about it elsewhere, he could still take a look at the hot spring pool for servants not far away. Who knew that he would find something tricky just by looking at it casually. ——The servants should be divided into hours to separate men and women. When Cheng Ming went to see it, he happened to catch up with the men's soup. The people who came and went were all middle-aged men, and there were a lot of them. It's nothing but those The physique of this young and middle-aged man is unusual at first glance, like a soldier who often drills in the camp.

"Has your father ever sent someone to visit Zhuangzi?"

"I have been there a few times, but they were all before Dingyuan Wang left the capital. After only the concubine and the second son of the Lin family were left, they seldom went there. One reason was that the Lin family would not have the courage to act at the feet of the emperor. What an excessive move, and the second reason is that the Zhuangzi is heavily guarded and can't go in. After Dingyuan Wang Lijing Wangfei lived in the hot spring Zhuangzi, it was surrounded by iron barrels and no one could enter. I thought it was to protect his wife and children in Beijing. Looking at it now, I am afraid there is another deep meaning."

Over the years, although external forces have not been able to invade, Hot Spring Zhuangzi is open to women in Beijing.The concubine often invites several ladies who are acquainted with each other in Beijing to go for a walk, which to some extent also dispels the emperor's concerns - as long as the concubine and Lin Hang are still in Beijing as hostages, he doesn't need to pay too much attention, after all, a woman is a family What kind of turmoil can be made with a kid who has not reached the weak crown?Who would have thought that King Dingyuan would not play cards according to common sense, instead he used his wife and children as a cover to divert the focus of everyone's attention, but he put the idea of ​​stationing troops on the most inconspicuous Zhuangzi.

"This is just the inference of my subordinates, and there is no evidence to test it. I ask His Highness to decide whether to report it to the emperor."

He Zheng thought for a while, but he was not in a hurry to report this matter. After all, the emperor should not know about his going to Wenquanzhuangzi for no reason. Not only Xia Jin would suffer, but his previous identity might also be dug out. , However, this matter cannot be left alone, and we need to think of other ways to find a solution for both ends.

"You send someone to watch over the servants who deliver the ingredients in the village. It is impossible for so many people to not eat or drink. If the rice grains in the village exceed the normal range, immediately follow me and inform the royal father. It is said that they found the palace by chance. The servants stockpile a large amount of food, so don't talk too much."

"Subordinates obey."

Some words are only suitable for point-and-shoot, just telling the emperor that the people in the village are stockpiling grain is enough to arouse vigilance.

Like Xia Jin.

He Zheng took out the tied strand of black hair from the kit, and seemed to remember something, the smile on his face couldn't be stopped, and Cheng Ming, who was watching, was secretly startled.

**

Xia Jin still has no clue about Xia Yu and Xia Huan's two brothers, and he is about to leave the capital. He naturally wants to search harder in the last time, but now his travel is still restricted, and Zhang has sold his own. The dowry shop, so it will be more difficult to find people.

"Why do you look so bad these days?"

After Lin Hang ran around the racecourse, he got off his horse to look at Xia Jin, who was concentrating on manipulating his newly acquired bow and arrow, and couldn't bear to give Lin Hang half of his eyes.

"It's just that I feel that my head is not sticky enough. There is nothing else, so I don't need to worry about it."

"Children, what are you thinking about so much all day long, just follow us obediently, and you won't be left behind to run for your life alone."

Xia Jin concentrated on playing with the bow and arrow in her hand, and stopped talking.

The people of Dingyuan Palace will protect them, which Xia Jin has never doubted. After all, the Xia family is still of great use to them, but it is more difficult to escape with the princess and her party under the eyes of the emperor than six years. It was even more difficult for Qianxia's family to flee for their lives.If the emperor only used [-]% of his strength to hunt down and kill Xia's family, then he would have to spend at least [-]% to keep the two chips of the princess and Lin Hang.

Just kidding, the battle is imminent, and it is hard to hold the wife and children of the number one enemy in his hands. How incompetent does this emperor have to be to let them escape safely?Xia Jin believed in the ability of His Majesty the Emperor, so the two of them would be saddened. If there was a critical moment when fleeing for their lives, he would not dare to expect the people under King Dingyuan to care about the lives of their mother and child. They must be close to the princess. There are two Lin Hangs, and the final outcome is likely to be that the big fish ran away and these small shrimps were caught and stewed in a pot.

Do you want to run away alone?

In fact, Xia Jin really thought about this way.They hold the money from Zhang's dowry sale in their hands, and they don't have to worry about the travel expenses from the capital to Hezhong, but in the end, neither of them is a strong master. Not long from the capital, people will be murdered for money.

Xia Jin scratched her head, anyway, whether she went with Lin Hang or not, the fate of Xia Jin's mother and son would be very sad, and the chances of being cannon fodder were the same.

"Let's not talk about that, you remember to stay in the yard tomorrow and don't run around. There are guests coming from the Zhuangzi. If you are bumped into, you will inevitably get into a lot of trouble."

"And those ladies who often come and go with the princess?"

Lin Hang shook his head, looked at Xia Jin with a half-smile and said:

"It's the second prince."

**

A few days ago, after Cheng Ming found out the matter, He Zheng mentioned the tricks in the village to the emperor. Hearing this, the emperor immediately took the matter seriously and sent people around to investigate. Invite Ying to go to Wenquan Zhuangzi in the name of a guest to inquire about it. Hearing this, the emperor naturally has no objection. Now that He Zheng is his eldest son, even if it is for the sake of cultivating an heir in the future, he must start letting the eldest prince Let's start to deal with these matters—there will be a fierce battle with the Lin family in the future. If we don't take this opportunity to get in touch with the enemy to understand the enemy's temperament, how will we know ourselves and the enemy in the future?

Because it was Weifu's visit to He Zheng, he only brought ten guards including Cheng Ming, and both sides had already greeted each other beforehand, so there was no need to worry about the people in the Dingyuan Palace pretending to be fools like they killed the eldest prince back then.When they came to the gate of Zhuangzi, Lin Hang and the concubine were already waiting outside the door. Although it is not suitable for women in the inner house to meet outside men, but now there are only two masters in the palace staying in Beijing, one big and one small, and Lin Hang is the only one to come forward Hospitality is always unreasonable, but fortunately the concubine and He Zheng have a large age gap, so men and women can loosen their defenses, so they came out together to welcome guests.

"Your Highness is here, my mother and son are far away to welcome you, and I hope His Highness will forgive you."

Lin Hang smiled and cupped his hands and stepped forward, both mother and son respected the rules and saluted He Zheng, but after all the princess had a royal order and was an elder, so she just bowed her knees and nodded to mean it, and He Zheng didn't pay too much attention to others' territory. These, after talking with the mother and son, they entered the village one after another.The princess only needs to come out and show her face to save face, so after welcoming people in, she left it to her son to worry about it and ran back to the house to rest.

"I heard that the family has such a Zhuangzi outside Beijing. It's just that I can't get away from my busy schedule. It just so happens that I want to come and have a look today when I have free time. It's cool in the evening, so I can soak in hot soup."

"The humble house is simple, it's hard for His Highness to appreciate it."

Lin Hang said modestly, and He Zheng looked around for a while, and said with a bit of regret in his tone:

"It's really rudimentary."

Faced with a pertinent evaluation seriously given by He Zheng, Lin Hang's modest face froze slightly, as if he felt that it was not good for him to speak like this, so He Zheng added another sentence,

"But it's a good place to go if you have two hot eyes."

Anyone who is told that the place where they live is not eye-catching will be a little unhappy. Although this mountain village is indeed very simple compared to the palace and other palaces, Lin Hang still feels a little nervous in his heart, vaguely remembering that it used to be like Who else has been so disgusted.

"What Your Highness said is very true. When this village was first built, because it borrowed the mountain, the layout was slightly deficient. Although the layout was simpler, it also got the name of returning to the basics. Such pavilions and pavilions are the second best. If Your Highness If you are interested, go to the back mountain with me to see those green pines and cypresses, which is a rare occasion in this winter."

Inviting people to climb mountains in winter, and even when the north wind is strong, is enough to show that Lin Hang is a bad guy. He Zheng looked at him and gave a very honest evaluation:

"You are not kind."

Lin Hang: ...

Did this guy really come out of the palace?Did this guy really come out of the palace? !Why does Mao not turn a corner when he speaks, so how can he continue so bluntly, bastard!

Lin Hang roared wildly in his heart, but in the end he could only bite the bullet and apologize with a smile:

"Your Highness was joking. If you don't want to go to the back mountain, you can go with me to see the four seasons crabapple blooming in the front garden. The first one transplanted a few camellias. I heard from the gardener that the flowering period is also in the past few days. If you are lucky, you will meet one today."

"Flowers and plants are too thick, after all, it's just a good time for my daughter to go and see them. Let's not join in the fun."

Lin Hang's smiling face was a bit unbearable. A person who can't speak to such a level is considered a skill. He was really pissed off, and he had the urge to silence him, but in the end he pressed it down. He's not his own father, and he doesn't have the ability to take someone's life as soon as he says it.

"I wonder if Your Highness has any good suggestions?"

"I'm not a fussy person, just walk around, don't be restrained."

Lin Hang: (‵o′)convex

Here, Lin Hang was being entangled by He Zheng to the point of insanity, while Xia Jin, on the other hand, was held in the hands of the princess and couldn't break free, a young daughter-in-law who was oppressed by hooligans.

"Princess, I have no grievances or enmities with you, why would you treat me like this!"

"You child, I have fed you to such an age, meal after meal. After six years, I still have some affection. Come, come, today is the time for you to pay back the meal."

This love is really cheap, you bastard.

Ignoring Xia Jin's white eyes, the princess smiled very dignifiedly and said:

"You know the second prince?"

Xia Jin was startled for a moment, but quickly reacted and pretended to be embarrassed and said:

"I met once outside the banquet at the palace banquet."

The princess squinted:

"Jin'er, you don't obey women's morals."

Xia Jin: ...

Damn it would be a tragedy if he obeyed women's morals.

"Princess, you might as well tell me directly, why did you call me here today?"

"It's nothing serious." The concubine shook Xia Jin casually and said, "I can't save my son who was tossed about in the front. It's just looking for a balance with you."

Xia Jin: ...

Suddenly, I feel that the concubine and He Zheng are actually the real mother and son. The ability to be so angry that people don't pay for their lives is definitely in the same line, you bastard!

"Look at you, it's just a joke. Why do you really hate it?" Wang Hao smiled very kindly and pinched Xia Jin's face, "I asked you to come, but I just exchanged you with my son."
