Make peace with the Lord of the Prairie

"Khan is missing."

Hearing this sentence, Ming Heng felt his head exploded with a loud bang. In an instant, his mind went blank, and he could hardly think. Only Mo Jia's slightly cold voice echoed in his ears like a nightmare. Stop spinning.

His eyes suddenly turned black, and his hands and feet became weak. He couldn't support himself, and slumped down.

He Zexi's face is also a little pale at the moment, and his appearance in a thunderbolt is not much better than that of Ming Heng.He grabbed Mo Jia's wrist excitedly, and asked urgently, "Wumeng! Isn't he protecting Han Huan!"

Mo Jia explained: "At that time, Wumeng was sent by the Great Khan to the Duke's Mansion to congratulate the General. It was only one step too late. When they returned to Jinghe Garden, they saw corpses all over the ground, but the Great Khan disappeared. "

Mingheng asked them in disbelief: "Will something happen to him..."

The two were silent, and neither of them could give a definite answer to this question.

Wu Meng almost went crazy when he found out that Tuoba Hong was missing, and even a veteran general like He Xiao changed his expression.They searched all night, and finally they actually found the trace of the assassin.But when they found it, those assassins were all dead.Ten corpses lay horizontally in the dark and windy forest, surrounded by messy traces of fighting and shocking bloodstains, the scene was like Shura Hell.

Wumeng investigated all night and finally got some information.He told King Su all the information he found, and asked him to pass it on to the three people in the palace.Therefore, Mo Jia, who had learned the content of the information one step ahead, introduced the origins of those assassins to the two of them in detail.

"Wumeng found a letter from the assassins, and found out that they are professional killers. Someone asked them to spend a lot of money to kill everyone in Guangjing and Yuan, and to capture Khan alive." Seeing Mingheng's shaky look, Mo Jia dared not Provoking him again, he hastily continued, "However, both Wu Meng and General He Xiao felt that Da Khan should not have been caught. Those assassins all died of knife wounds, and the sword skills should be from the hands of Da Khan, and they are still alive." Tiger footprints were found at the scene."

Ming Heng came back to his senses, his eyes widened slightly when he heard the words: "Tiger? The one in the tiger garden?!"

"It should be, Wumeng said that the tiger also disappeared, maybe it was with Da Khan." Mo Jia comforted the two, "Although the tiger has been kept in the house, it is a ferocious beast after all. It can't hurt it. Besides, Da Khan's skill is also very good, and ordinary assassins are not his opponents. I think they should be safe for the time being, probably hiding somewhere. Wumeng and General He's family generals I am looking for it, and if there is any news, I will ask King Su to enter the palace to pass it on.”

He Zexi finally breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Mo Jia's report, his face was not as pale as before, but he still couldn't hide his worry.But at this time, Ming Heng might be more worried than him. In order not to irritate Ming Heng, he had no choice but to hide all his worries in his heart.

He Zexi patted Mingheng's shoulder lightly, and comforted him: "Han Huan will be fine, with his skill, few people can hurt him."

Normally, Mingheng would have believed it, but now, with two eight-month-old children in his belly, Tuobahong usually walks a little clumsily, no matter how powerful he is in this situation Can't show it.How is he not worried.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became. For a moment, more than a dozen situations in which Tuobahong was in danger flashed through his mind, and he couldn't sit still.He stood up abruptly, turned his head and rushed out the door.

Mo Jia was standing beside him, subconsciously pulling him back.

Ming Heng struggled: "Let go of me, I'm going to find him!"

He Zexi asked him: "Do you know where he is? Where are you going to find him?"

Ming Heng said: "That's better than sitting here and worrying! He's still pregnant with a child, it's too dangerous to stay outside alone, I'm going to find him."

He Zexi refused to let him go.His younger brother's disappearance was enough to worry him, and Ming Heng didn't know martial arts, and now the situation outside is turbulent, wouldn't letting him out add to the trouble.

But at this moment, Ming Heng couldn't care about anything else, all he could think about was - he wanted to find Tuoba Hong.So the two had a dispute in the house.

The dispute between the two aroused the curiosity of the palace people. Seeing that they were arguing louder and louder, Mo Jia wanted to close the door first.However, at this moment, a gray-haired old eunuch slowly entered the Chonghua Palace greeted by a small fan.

Mo Jia hastily reminded: "Grandpa Yuan is here."

The dispute stopped immediately.Ming Heng and He Zexi looked at each other, then turned their heads to look outside the door, and they saw Yuan Xi walking steadily towards the crowd.

Walking in front of Ming Heng, Yuan Xi saluted: "This old servant sees Your Highness."

Yuanxi was a member of Emperor Qianyuan, so Mingheng had to temporarily restrain all his emotions and deal with Yuanxi calmly.

"Why did Eunuch Yuan come here?"

Yuan Xi smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty would like to invite His Highness to come over."

Ming Heng frowned: "What is Father looking for from me?"

Yuan Xi just smiled, but didn't answer, only said: "Your Highness will know when he goes down, His Majesty is waiting."

Ming Heng turned his head and wrinkled deeper, glanced at He Zexi and Mo Jia behind him, and asked again: "Father only called me?"

"Yes, His Majesty only announced His Highness today." After Yuan Xi finished speaking, he signaled to He Zexi, "Your Majesty would like to say something about the concern between father and son to His Highness, and King Yerun probably won't mind."

It was said that it was a conversation between father and son, but He Zexi had no reason to refuse, so he nodded, and said lightly: "Of course not." After speaking, he looked at Ming Heng and said, "You go."

Ming Heng was very puzzled, always felt that his father had some deep meaning in calling him over alone at this time, but he really couldn't refuse, so he had to follow Yuan Xi and leave Chonghua Palace calmly.

After Mingheng left Chonghua Palace, Mo Jia closed the door and asked He Zexi: "Is it a coincidence that Emperor Qianyuan called His Highness here at this time? Does he know something?"

He Zexi didn't speak, and stared at the table thoughtfully for a long time, then suddenly said: "Mo Jia, let's leave the palace now!"

"Leaving the palace?" Mo Jia was surprised, "His Highness is still here, what are we going out of the palace at this time?"

He Zexi shook his head, and said: "I can't say, but I feel that we can no longer stay in the palace, we must leave immediately. As for Mingheng... He is also His Majesty's parent and child, so it should be fine."

Mo Jia didn't quite understand what He Zexi meant, but he trusted He Zexi very much, so he started to act without saying a word.

The two quietly left the palace, but what they didn't know was that as soon as they left the Chonghua Palace, Lin Qiong broke in with a group of imperial soldiers, saying they were arresting traitors.It's a pity that it came to nothing.

Ming Heng thought he was going to the Royal Study to meet his father, but he got into the carriage and left the palace.Eunuch Yuan Xi sat in the carriage with him, but he didn't tell him the purpose of the trip, until the carriage stopped, he said: "Your Highness, get out of the carriage."

Mingheng got out of the carriage, stared at the green pines and cypresses in front of him for a moment, then turned his head and asked Yuanxi: "Why did you come to the imperial mausoleum?"

Yuan Xi smiled, stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, and said as he walked, "Your Majesty misses the prince very much today, so he said to come and see him."

Mingheng paused in his steps, his face remained calm, but he guessed his father's intentions in his heart.

Few people go in and out of the imperial mausoleum, and it is surrounded by huge pines and cypresses that block out the sky and the sun, giving people a gloomy feeling. Walking inside will give you a feeling of chills on your back.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Mingheng always feels that today's imperial mausoleum is more gloomy than ever before, making people panic.

There was no end to be seen on the wide boulevard, and there were no other people along the way, only the footsteps of the two of them were heard.After walking for a long time, Ming Heng saw a bright yellow figure, that figure was slightly bent, looking a bit vicissitudes.

Ming Heng felt a little emotional, since the death of the crown prince, his father had aged several years due to excessive grief in just a few months, and his black hair was also mixed with a few strands of silvery white.As for the queen, it is said that she has not recovered yet, holding the prince's relics and crying every day, the originally bright and ageless beauty has been so emaciated that she almost loses her human appearance.

Thinking of this, Mingheng couldn't help sighing.

All of this is because of two words - rights.

If the second prince hadn't been ambitious and hated the prince for wanting to seize the throne, he would not have come up with such a vicious plan to harm the prince.If the prince did not die, he himself would not lose his life.Everything is his own doing.But she just felt sorry for the parents, and the mother and son who were implicated by the second prince and were driven out of the capital by the father.

Mingheng walked behind Emperor Qianyuan with emotion all the way, and made a soft sound.

"Father."

Emperor Qianyuan turned around and glanced at him: "Here we come."

Mingheng nodded, and glanced at the prince's tombstone behind Emperor Qianyuan.In front of the tombstone, a wisp of green smoke slowly rose into the air and then quickly dissipated without a trace.

Emperor Qianyuan pointed to the crown prince's tombstone, and said, "First put incense on your brother prince."

Ming Heng didn't refuse either, took the incense handed over by Yuan Xi, bowed in front of the prince's tomb in an orderly manner, and said silently in his heart: "Rest in peace."

After Ming Heng paid homage to the crown prince, he asked Emperor Qianyuan: "Did the emperor ask his son to come here to offer incense to the crown prince's elder brother?"

"This is just one of the reasons." Emperor Qianyuan turned around again, and looked at the tombstone lovingly, as if looking at the prince. After watching for a while, he pointed to a square brocade in front of the tombstone. box, asked, "Did you see that box?"

Mingheng glanced at it, nodded, and checked the size with his eyes. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind—this size is just enough to hold a human head.

At this time, Emperor Qianyuan also spoke: "Open it."

Ming Heng hesitated for a moment, subconsciously glanced at Yuan Xi who was beside him, and Yuan Xi secretly nodded to him.

Ming Heng walked over to gently picked up the box, weighed it, it was not light.He took another deep breath, and finally carefully opened the lid of the brocade box.

As soon as the lid is opened, the first thing that hits the face is a disgusting rancid smell.Mingheng couldn't help vomiting, quickly held his breath, took a look inside, suddenly yelled, and threw the box out casually.He took a few steps back in a panic and almost fell to the ground, but fortunately Yuan Xi held him up.

"Your Highness, be careful." Yuan Xi whispered in his ear.

Ming Heng just stared at the distance blankly, his face turned pale.

The brocade box was thrown far away by him, fell heavily on the ground and shattered, revealing a round head with wide-open eyes, a pair of eyeballs protruding slightly, his face was pale and lifeless.Probably because it has been left for too long, the skin has rotted, revealing disgusting carrion, which is extremely terrifying.

And this head is no stranger to Mingheng, it is the second prince.
