After Xuan Ye got the body of the second prince, he immediately had the body lifted up and rushed towards the Xuanwu Empire in a hurry.
There is quite a commotion here. I think the officers and soldiers from the Zhou Dynasty will arrive here soon.
These people have been hiding in the Zhou Dynasty, and they must not be discovered, otherwise it will be a huge loss to the Xuanwu Empire.
Furthermore, once the second prince’s body is sent back, he will definitely receive a commendation from Emperor Wu.
Getting promoted and making a fortune is definitely not a dream.
The most important thing is that the corpse of the second prince can definitely dampen the arrogance of the Zhou Dynasty!
After the people from the Xuanwu Empire left, the soldier of the Guards Corps who had been buried in the mountain of corpses dared to breathe heavily.
He struggled to push aside all the corpses that were pressing on him, and then found a less seriously injured horse in the valley.
The soldiers rode towards the direction of Kyoto from the Zhou Dynasty.
He wants to inform Emperor Zhou of this important news!
Especially within the Zhou Dynasty, there are so many people from the Xuanwu Empire hidden. This news is really important.
Of course... the most important thing is the death of the second prince!
This soldier knew very well that as the second prince's personal guard, they failed to protect the second prince, but instead caused the second prince to lose his life.
Then their family members will not be spared, and they may be implicated!
So conveying this news would at least allow Emperor Zhou to turn his attention and settle accounts with the Xuanwu Empire.
Jun Lintian, who was watching this scene on the mountain peak, curled his lips and smiled.
All this is going on in an orderly manner according to his plan.
However, he did not expect that one person among this group of guards actually survived, which did not surprise him, but it happened to be exactly what he wanted.
Originally, Jun Lintian thought that he would send people disguised as guards to pass the news back.
But it’s no longer necessary now.
Jun Mengyao next to her looked at the faint smile on the young master's face and was puzzled for a moment.
She couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Young Master, we can obviously intercept and kill the second prince on the way, why do we go to so much trouble?"
In Jun Mengyao's view, The masters under their Jun family can unite and behead the second prince in the Guards Corps.
But the young master’s arrangement obviously took a lot of effort. Why did he have to let people from the Xuanwu Empire kill the second prince?
In fact, it would be simpler and safer for them to kill them themselves.
In this case, if it is later discovered that the Jun family has contact with the Xuanwu Empire, it will also cause dissatisfaction from other aristocratic families.
Although the dissatisfaction of these aristocratic families is insignificant to the Jun family, it will still have a certain impact after all.
Faced with Jun Mengyao's question, Jun Lintian just smiled and did not answer.
"Let's go back and wait first. After waiting, you will know the situation that my young master has laid out today."
Jun Mengyao couldn't help but frown, she curled her lips and said : "Young Master is like this every time, can't you tell me directly..."
"Hahaha, this is more interesting, isn't it?"
Jun Lintian laughed, stretched out his hand to pinch Jun Mengyao's face, and took her back to Jun's house.
If his estimate was correct, by now, the surviving soldier of the Guards Corps had brought the news to the palace.
————————
Kyoto Imperial Palace.
Royal study room!
Emperor Zhou was originally dealing with the memorial that he had been pressing on recently, and he was obviously feeling a little unhappy.
At this moment, Eunuch Li didn't even knock on the door, but just came in with a bloody soldier.
"What's going on!" Emperor Zhou's face suddenly dropped.
For a while, he didn't recognize which prince's guard the armor the soldier wore belonged to. At this time, he thought that one of the princes was leading someone to fight, so naturally there was a slight displeasure on his face.
"Your Majesty!" Before Eunuch Li could speak, the soldier had already knelt down.
As soon as the soldier knelt down, tears began to flow down his face.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, he...he..."
The words came to his lips, but he could not say a word.
Emperor Zhou was still a little angry at first, and was about to slap the table, but suddenly thought of something and looked towards Eunuch Li suddenly.
"What happened! What happened to the second prince?"
Eunuch Li's face was also very ugly. At this moment, he just kept his head down and did not dare to speak.
"I! I'm asking you something!" Emperor Zhou said through gritted teeth.
Eunuch Li also knelt down in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Your Second Highness, he was ambushed by the Xuanwu Empire during the march and unfortunately died in battle..."
"This soldier is a witness..."
Li The father-in-law spoke very well. He did not use the term "death in an ambush" to describe the death of the second prince, but used the term "death in battle", which could be regarded as an explanation to His Majesty.
Emperor Zhou stood up suddenly, his eyes were red, and all the energy in his body burst out instantly.
“You, what did you say, say it again?!”
"The second prince has only been away from the capital for a long time, how could he encounter an ambush from the Xuanwu Empire!"
"You bastard, how dare you lie about the military situation!"
With a wave of his hand, Emperor Zhou immediately took the The soldier flew away, but not with much force.
The soldier crawled back in a hurry and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, everything you said is true! They are the soldiers of the Xuanwu Empire who ambushed the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"My subordinates vaguely heard someone calling the leader...Xuan Ye, yes! Xuan Ye!"
Emperor Zhou's eyes narrowed and his pupils shrank.
His breathing became rapid, and his chest was filled with anger.
"Xuan Ye? He is actually from the Xuanwu Empire?!"
At this moment, he was even more furious, and it was not because of the death of the second prince.
After all, the death of the second prince was nothing. He had never expected the second prince to come back alive from the border from the beginning.
What made Emperor Zhou really angry was that he was actually slapped in the face by the Xuanwu Empire!
You know, the second prince set off yesterday and led the three thousand Guards Corps. To put it in general terms, he did not go beyond the scope of Kyoto at all.
But he was ambushed so close to Kyoto.
That also proves that people from the Xuanwu Empire have already penetrated into Kyoto!
Otherwise, it would be impossible for these people to know the second prince’s marching route, let alone set up an ambush in advance!
"Go and recuperate! Eunuch Li, reward him with some medicinal materials and money."
After hearing this, Eunuch Li immediately winked at the soldier and told him to leave quickly.
At this moment, only Emperor Zhou and Eunuch Li are left here.
"Your Majesty, how should this matter be handled?"
The anger on Emperor Zhou's face subsided a little. He smiled coldly and said: "Convene a court meeting immediately! Such a big incident has happened Naturally, all civil and military officials should know about the matter.”
In fact, he had already thought of a plan to kill two birds with one stone! (End of this chapter)
