Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

"Boom!"

Murong Fu looked at the flares exploding in the sky and knew that something had happened in the capital.

This was agreed upon with the palace steward at the time. If anything happened in the capital or in the palace, a signal flare would be sent to notify him, and he would return with soldiers to rescue.

"Father and sister are really good at foresight. They knew that something would happen in the capital, so they asked him to lead the troops to guard here."

Murong Fu said to himself.

He really admired his father and sister. They were really able to foresee things, prepare for the worst, and take countermeasures.

"Prince, the signal flare has been sent out. Is there something wrong in the capital?"

Murong Fu's confidant looked at the flare that appeared in the sky and asked in shock and worry.

"Something may have happened in the capital, otherwise the butler would not have lit the flare."

Murong Fu's face was also full of worry, his eyes were tightly furrowed.

"Prince, what should we do now? Should we lead the troops into the city now?"

Murong Fu's confidant Shuang Jian asked Murong Fu worriedly.

He was a house slave, his parents and siblings were all in the palace, and he was afraid that something might happen to them.

"Shuangjian, you sneak into the capital yourself and find out what happened, then come out and report. We can only take action at night after we know what happened. If we rush into the capital rashly, we may be caught by the enemy in one fell swoop."

Murong Fu looked in the direction of the capital city with a solemn expression, frowned brows, and a face full of worry.

I wonder how my mother, my wife, and my second brother are doing now.

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

After Shuang Jian finished speaking, he immediately disguised himself and entered the capital.

In order to avoid causing panic, the Second Prince did not block the capital. He only ordered the guards at the city gates to conduct a strict search and not let any suspicious people into the city.

Frost Sword arrived at the city gate and handed the pass to the guard at the gate.

The pass was to a village near where they were stationed, and there was a villager named Huang Daniu in the village.

He spent one or two taels of silver to get the pass, and now he is dressed up as Huang Daniu.

The guard looked at the pass and sized up Frost Sword. He felt that this man looked more like a guard than a farmer.

"Sir, can I go in?"

Frost Sword lowered his posture, fawned, and tried his best to speak in a flattering manner.

This immediately dispelled the guards' suspicion and allowed him to enter the city.

"Yes, yes, go in!"

The guards immediately let him into the city.

"Thank you, sir!"

Frost Sword said immediately.

When he had finished speaking, he immediately entered the city.

Frost Sword didn't dare to go to the palace immediately, he could only go to the teahouse to inquire about the news.

Because of the panic in the past few days, many people dare not go out for fear of harm.

After entering the teahouse and sitting in a secluded place, the waiter quickly brought snacks and tea.

"Sir, please enjoy your meal."

The waiter put down the snacks and tea before leaving.

"do you know?"

"what do you know?"

"I'm telling you, I heard that the Second Prince used tough measures to force the Emperor to abdicate in order to become the Emperor. But the Emperor disagreed and was unwilling to abdicate!"

"What? How could the Second Prince do such a treasonous thing?"

"Why not? Who wouldn't want to sit there?

Besides, there is no family affection in the imperial family.

In order to gain the throne above everyone else, they could kill their brothers, their fathers and their brothers, and even their own flesh and blood.

Otherwise, why would people say that the most ruthless are the imperial family? "

"Is what you said true? Where did you hear it from? Could it be someone else spreading the rumor?"

"It's absolutely true. I have a relative who is a servant in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion. He told me this."

"You are risking your life by saying these things here. If the Second Prince's men or the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery hear it, you will still be alive. Don't implicate your relatives."

Suddenly a man spoke up and reminded them not to talk about this matter anymore, so as to avoid bringing trouble and implicating their families.

When the tea drinkers in the teahouse heard the man's words, they all looked outside in fear, afraid that the Second Prince or Marquis Zhongyong's men would suddenly rush in.

Seeing that there was no movement outside, they finally felt relieved and stared at the tea drinkers who were talking.

Given the ruthless nature of the Second Prince and Marquis Zhongyong, if they heard these words, they would definitely kill them all.

In their eyes, the lives of ordinary people like them are worthless.

The guests were stared at by those fierce eyes and were so frightened that they were silent and dared not speak a word.

Suddenly the entire teahouse fell silent, so quiet that only the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard.

Frost Sword probably knew what happened in the capital. He pretended to finish his tea, paid the money, and left calmly.

After leaving the teahouse, he quietly looked at the current layout of the capital.

The people who used to patrol frequently were from Jingzhao Prefecture. The people now look unfamiliar, so they should be the Second Prince or Marquis Zhongyong's men.

Looking at the patrol team going away, Frost Sword was suddenly attracted by the last figure. That person's back looked very familiar.

He seemed to have seen the man's back, as if he was someone he knew.

The man seemed to have sensed something and suddenly turned around and looked over.

It's him?

Du Qingfeng.

He followed the prince to a military camp and met him there.

How could he appear in the capital? Could it be that the people in the barracks were bribed by the second prince and are now working for him?

If it is true, the prince's 10,000 soldiers alone will not be able to defeat the enemy.

He wanted to tell the prince the news and then discuss how to achieve a surprise victory.

Frost Sword believed that Du Qingfeng did not recognize him. In his current state, even his parents might not recognize him.

Frost Sword walked back inconspicuously, pretending to leave the city.

When he checked at the city gate, Frost Sword was carrying a bag of coarse rice on his shoulder. This was the purpose of his entry into the city, which was to buy food.

The guard who checked him out of the city gate was the same one who had let him in.

Seeing Frost Sword carrying a bag of coarse grains, he immediately let him go.

Frost Sword thanked the emperor profusely and flattered him before he carried the coarse grains, left the city gate and headed towards the suburbs where he was stationed.
