Chapter 166 The 3rd Prince is also going to rebel
Village chief Ma and his men left quickly and came back quickly. When they arrived at the yamen, they were just given a simple statement and then released!
As for what happened to those bandits, they had no idea!
Xia Shengsheng felt a little panicked, so he discussed with Village Chief Ma and asked everyone to speed up the process and complete the protection as soon as possible.
In addition, personnel must be selected for training every day to prepare for protecting the village in the future.
After going through this several times, no one disagrees.
After more than a month, the weather has turned cooler and it is already showing signs of entering winter.
During this period of time, it seemed as if the wind had suddenly changed. Everything was peaceful and stable, as if nothing special had happened.
Even in other villages, there were no signs of bandits robbing!
I don’t know whether they have left the area or are recuperating and preparing for a big move.
The city wall of Kaoshan Village was finally built thanks to the efforts of hundreds of people.
The city walls were built to a height of four meters and were covered with broken porcelain pieces. Only one gate was left at the entrance of the entire village.
The gate is also made more than four meters high, and an observation deck is built in front, behind, left and right.
This way you can sense danger in advance and take effective precautions.
The village guard team has already been selected, consisting of 200 young and strong laborers.
Xia Yi and Xia Er were responsible for staying behind to protect the Xia family, while the other few people followed the village guard team to protect the village and conduct daily patrols.
More than 200 people were divided into ten teams, with more than 20 people in each team.
The 24 hours of the day are fully scheduled. The team in front can only leave after the team behind has moved up, leaving no spare time at all.
In order to make everyone more motivated, Xia Shengsheng announced that if everyone performed well, the swords in their hands would belong to them, but if they performed poorly, the swords would be taken back.
Men probably all have one thing in common, which is that they like better knives and weapons. After hearing what Xia Shengsheng said, everyone patrolled very hard and did not forget to practice, wanting to make the knife in their hands their own exclusive weapon.
It's calm here, but a bit rough over there!
After Han the Hunter left, he went directly to Canaan Pass. The team that followed him also caught up after they dealt with the matters in Kaoshan Village.
The general stationed at Canaan Pass was the third prince’s uncle, General Zhenyuan Yuchi Gong.
At this time, he also fought with General Yuwen for three days and three nights.
When it seemed that the city was about to be conquered, Han Ming, also known as Han the Hunter, arrived at Canaan Pass with a secret letter.
Han Ming was originally a guard in the Third Prince's Palace.
When I first came to Kaoshan Village with Doctor Zhao.
It was because Zhao Yunxiang, the head of the Imperial Hospital, now known as Doctor Zhao, had offended Concubine Shu, who was still a concubine at the time! !
In order to protect Doctor Zhao's safety, Han Ming, with the guards of the Third Prince's Mansion, followed the Third Prince's instructions and fled the capital with Doctor Zhao despite the repeated pursuit.
Came to this remote mountain village to settle down.
There had been peace for more than ten years, and Concubine Shu, who had already unified the harem, had forgotten about the existence of Doctor Zhao.
When the secret letter was presented to General Yuchi, he suddenly felt it was so hot and didn't know what to do.
He looked at Han Ming who was standing beside him with a determined look in his eyes and asked in disbelief.
"Is this really written by the Third Prince himself?"
Han Ming nodded without hesitation, "Yes. General Yuchi, it's up to you to decide! Before you make a decision, you should think about Concubine Jie who dared to die in the harem..."
General Yuchi's eyes suddenly became blurred, and his eyes were filled with sadness.
Concubine Jie, his biological sister! She was the one who always liked to follow him around and call him brother since she was little!
Now it is true...
The imperial palace is truly a place where people eat human flesh and drink human blood...
Over the past three days, General Yuchi and General Yuwen had been fighting to exhaustion. He could feel that it was General Yuwen who showed mercy, which was why he was able to hold out for so long!
If he continues to persist, he will be defeated by General Yuwen's men within two days.
But, was it a defeat?
Now, the third prince asked him to make way for General Yuwen.
Can he explain this to the court?
He understood what the Third Prince meant.
The emperor sitting on the throne was ignorant of state affairs. He was suspicious of the court generals and meritorious officials, and even wanted to kill them all.
The third prince did not want to do so. The people loyal to the court were disheartened by the emperor, so they tried to dissuade him many times, but the emperor put the third prince under house arrest on the charge of forming a clique for personal gain.
Now, the Yuwen family has rebelled. The old emperor does not reflect on his mistakes. Not only does he indulge in revelry every day, but he also hands over all state affairs to the eighth prince who has just turned ten years old.
Isn’t a ten-year-old child just a puppet controlled by others?
And now, the one who actually controls the government is the Eighth Prince's mother, Concubine Shu!
Concubine Shu did not think about how to appease General Yuwen, but only knew to send troops to fight against General Yuwen.
In order for her son to successfully ascend the throne and inherit the throne, the entire capital was in turmoil.
He even murdered the Third Prince who was under house arrest and his mother, Concubine Jie.
Fortunately, the third prince was lucky, but concubine Jie died at the hands of Concubine Shu.
The third prince originally didn't want to get involved in this factional dispute, but now, it was as if an invisible hand was pushing him and forcibly putting him in it!
Make him fight.
This time, he not only gave a secret letter to General Yuchi, but also sent another secret letter to General Yuwen.
He wants to cooperate with General Yuwen to take down the man who holds supreme imperial power.
And he also wanted to make the person who killed his mother get the retribution he deserved!!
General Yuchi thought about it for a long time, and finally nodded helplessly.
Even if he disagrees, what can he do?
The one who wanted to rebel was his own nephew, and the one who lost was his own sister. He had no choice but to stand behind the third prince and support him, with the lives of his entire family at stake.
Thinking of his most beloved daughter Zhaozhao, who was still so young.
He only hoped that the final winner of this struggle would be the third prince.
Only in this way can the safety of his family be guaranteed and his life be saved.
"Okay, I understand. I will fully cooperate with the Third Prince!"
Han Ming got the answer he wanted and confirmed General Yuwen's intention before he left Canaan Pass with his troops.
And the three days and three nights of fighting ended quietly.
For the people of Canaan Pass, this is a good thing. At least they can live a peaceful life again, free from the suffering of war.
