Chapter 1790: The whole house is full of traps
Daxiaoshan was just on the other side of the courtyard wall, waiting for news from his father Li Erlang.
Although they were separated from the mourning hall by two courtyards, they could still smell the smell of burning incense and paper money.
In addition, they also heard the guards outside the door talking in low voices, sighing in their voices, and choking with sobs when they mentioned the King of Zhennan.
Xiaoshan's heart was trembling slightly: "Brother, this should be true, right?"
Originally, he didn't believe it either.
When they were in Shanghai, although they did not follow Huo Changhe as often as Jiang Paopao, they could still see him often.
The Prince of Zhennan, what a presence he is! The enemy would be terrified upon hearing of him. He leads thousands of troops and will never return to the camp until he wins, and will not stop until he captures the enemy's head.
How could a god of war like that, no, a god-like person, die?
But now, he had to believe it.
Dashan was just frowning in thought when Li Erlang called him.
"Mountain!"
Dashan hurried over and put his ear to the wall.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Just now, the prince's mother fainted from crying and was carried away. From what I heard, she should be buried soon."
Dashan groaned, "Anything else?"
"Anything else? I didn't hear anything. It was just crying."
Xiao Shan whispered, "Brother, what are you still hesitating about? Try to find a way to escape and deliver the message."
Dashan was much calmer than him: "No, I have to take another look. I have to see the body of the King of Zhennan with my own eyes."
Xiao Shan's eyes widened in shock. "This... How can I see this? In my current situation, how can I go to the funeral home? I finally managed to escape, but I will be discovered as soon as I show my face."
Need I say anything about the funeral hall? There must be people there day and night.
If it weren't for the need to keep it secret, given the status of the Prince of Zhennan, this funeral would have been known to the whole city, and the entire mansion and half of the city would have been in vain.
It was not that the Prince of Zhennan was arrogant and extravagant, but that the people would spontaneously hold funerals and keep vigil for him.
At that time, I will have to send it off with the coffin.
All the way to the outskirts of the city.
Even if the people of Shencheng got the news, they would come here.
It simply couldn't be like this.
Dashan's eyes were firm: "It's hard for me to believe that the King of Zhennan died just like that. Have you forgotten that the mission given to us by our superiors is to find out whether the King of Zhennan is dead or alive, and to confirm it."
"I didn't see the body, so I don't believe he's dead."
Xiao Shan licked his lips nervously: "Then...what should we do?"
Dashan thought for a moment and said, "I have a solution."
He moved to the door and said to the people guarding outside, "Brother, please help me and find Jiang Paopao."
The guard said, "Shut up. You told me to find it, so I did. Who do you think you are?"
"Brother, please help me. Jiang Paopao and I have been friends for many years. We were in the same military camp earlier. We are both in Shencheng, really."
"He was the first person I met when I came back this time. I have something to say to him. If you help me invite him here, I will reward you handsomely."
The guard was skeptical: "Really?"
"Absolutely no lies."
Another guard whispered, "Why don't we go and help him look for it? If it helps, that would be great. Even if it doesn't, it won't be a big deal."
"Okay, you watch here and I'll go find it."
Dashan was filled with joy.
Not long after, Jiang Paopao arrived.
Jiang Paopao's eyes were red and his face was cold, completely different from the last time he met them.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Dashan probed carefully.
Jiang Paopao glanced at him and said, "Don't worry about it. I heard from the princess that you two are planning to murder your uncle and aunt and seize the family property, right?"
Dashan quickly said, "It's unfair, brother. We have known each other for so many years. Am I such a person?"
"Yes, brother Paopao," Xiaoshan also said, "There is a misunderstanding here."
"My mother was wrong about my aunt's matter, but we really didn't know it. You saw it too. We only came back when we met you."
"There are no wrong parents in the world. We couldn't send my mother to the authorities. We were soft-hearted at the time, and...we really didn't mean it."
"Yes, if he really wanted to harm my aunt, he would have died long ago. How could he be alive now?"
Jiang Paopao frowned and looked at the two of them: "Really?"
Dashan saw that there was a way: "Really, I swear to God! Brother, please help us put in a few good words so that we can explain it clearly to the prince and princess."
Jiang Paopao turned his face away and said in a rolling voice: "Wait a couple of days, not now."
Dashan quickly asked, "Why?"
"The princess doesn't have time."
"Then...what about the prince?"
Dashan asked carefully, his eyes locked on Jiang Paopao.
Jiang Paopao wiped his eyes: "The prince... doesn't have time either."
Dashan was surprised and asked in a low voice: "Brother, tell me, what happened to the prince?"
"You are not in the right state. We have been brothers for many years. We both followed the prince before. My feelings for the prince are no less than yours. You can't hide it from me."
Jiang Paopao turned around and recalled the scene when he first saw the prince when he came back this time. He was frightened and pinched himself secretly.
Tears welled up in my eyes again.
Dashan was surprised: "Brother, what happened? Tell me quickly."
Jiang Paopao shook his head and said nothing.
Da Shan was slightly angry: "Do you look down on me? Don't you believe my loyalty to the prince? I'm telling you, I'd rather deny my parents than ignore the prince."
Jiang Paopao was touched: "If the prince knew your heart, he would definitely be touched."
"Then take me to see the prince."
Jiang Paopao hesitated again and again: "I can take you to see him, but you have to come back here afterwards. When this is over and the princess is free, she will interrogate you again. I will speak for you then."
Dashan agreed immediately: "Okay."
After untying them, Jiang Paopao took them both to the mourning hall.
As soon as he entered the yard, Dashan showed a look of shock and disbelief.
"This...this is..."
Jiang Paopao burst into tears: "The prince was injured by thieves a few days ago. The dagger was poisoned. The prince..."
"No, that's not true," Oyama shook his head.
Xiaoshan's heart was pounding. "How could a man like the prince die? And there is an antidote for the poison. This kind of thing has happened before. Why is it that this time..."
"The thief is not an ordinary person, and the poison is not an ordinary poison. The poison is strong and fast. The princess sought help from a doctor, but was helpless. The princess herself is also a doctor... It was because she was a doctor that she was too confident and did not accept the conditions proposed by the thief, which delayed time."
Jiang Paopao turned around and couldn't continue speaking - he couldn't cry anymore, because he had no more tears.
"If you want to see it, go ahead and see the prince for the last time."
Of course we have to see it, the mountains and hills are all here for this.
The two were extremely sad. They staggered to the coffin, burned incense and paper first, then stood up crying and wanted to see the corpse.
There were quite a few people on both sides of the mourning hall. Just as they had imagined before, if they ventured over there themselves, they would be caught before they could get close.
But this time, it's different.
