"This is probably the passage from the outside in." Anyu walked around the entrance of the tunnel, nodded firmly, and winked at Sheng Yuan, "So there is no way to go in from the inside out."
"..." Sheng Yuanxun felt the sense of disobedience around him, and suddenly saw Anyu's eyes blinking frequently, and couldn't help but fell silent for a moment, "Ah, I didn't bring eyewash today."
Eyewash is a prescription formulated by Tai Hospital in recent years. It has similar effects to the eyedrops of later generations. Now it has become popular in government schools. Government students can wash their eyes on time every day with the drops provided by the college.
Anyu froze on the spot, the fan in his hand trembling slightly, as if in condemnation.
Everyone hurriedly lowered their heads, trying to hide the shaking of their shoulders.
Sheng Yuan tilted his head in confusion: "So...where is the second passage that must exist?!"
"..." Everyone fainted.
However, Anyu calmed down, cleared his throat, shook his fan again as if nothing happened, and nodded: "Sister Yuan is smart! Indeed, this kind of passage is for a pair."
When he said this, he became serious and told the people on the inspection team: "The second passage must be from the inside out, and cannot be opened from the outside! But when looking for it, there is no pattern. Some People will arrange these two passages very close to each other, but some people will arrange them very far apart."
The two captains of the inspection team nodded: "Let's keep looking!"
Naturally, Anyu and Shengyuan did not need to do it themselves to find the passage, but they were not idle and looked around.
"Sister Yuan, if it were you, where would you arrange the other passage?" Anyu's hair was almost gone when he couldn't find it.
"Me?" Sheng Yuan didn't expect him to ask this.
However, she still thought about it seriously.
"If it were me...I would definitely put the passage where I want to go most."
"Where do you want to go most?" Anyu was a little confused.
He looked at Sheng Yuan and met those curved eyes that were shining with certainty.
"Oh! I understand!" Anyu jumped up excitedly, grabbing Shengyuan's hand and shaking it, "Maybe this is really possible! Come here! Go to the main courtyard of the master's house and start looking from there!"
…
King Hui Jiang Yucong walked quickly with his guards, but he never saw the shadow of his third brother Jiang Yuming, and he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Your Majesty, further ahead is the Xuncheng Official Post. Let's ask again!"
Jiang Yucong raised his head and looked at the sky, knowing that today he would stop at the official post in front of him.
"King Chu? I haven't heard of a prince driving by." The official in charge of reception at the official post listened to the guard's question and thought hard, "However, at noon today, there was a group of very impressive people. As they rode by, the young master at the head looked particularly dignified. They only rested here for a moment before setting off again. I wonder if he is the prince that the nobles are looking for."
When the clerk saw Prince Hui's palace badge, he naturally knew everything about it, but this was all he remembered.
After hearing his words, King Hui, who originally suspected that he had let his third brother feint, gained the motivation to pursue him again.
On the contrary, his attendant had some doubts: "Your Majesty, I always think this is a bit strange. Why does the King of Chu and his party seem to be marching in a hurry?"
Jiang Yucong sat on the couch and spread the tea powder. He smiled softly when he heard this: "I know your concerns. It's just that we came all the way quickly. It's only two or three days' journey to the capital; but if we want to return... ...There is a family dinner tomorrow evening, and even if we rush now, we may not be able to arrive before the banquet."
When the attendant heard this, he immediately realized that his prince knew everything.
"Since the third child has done a decent job, we don't need to worry about whether it is him who is marching in front of him. We can just chase him."
"If only you, the prince, are absent from the family banquet... I'm afraid everyone will make wild guesses." The chamberlain was assigned to King Hui Jiang Yucong by the Ministry of Internal Affairs since he was a child. From then on, he and Jiang Yucong had a relationship of mutual prosperity and loss. Therefore, he cares more about his safety and future than Jiang Yucong.
"My king's status and future depend on my father, and my father has always been resolute. Others want to slander me and shake my father's mind, which is almost a delusion." After Jiang Yucong said this, he stopped. Sorry, no more analysis.
What he didn't say just now is that now his father is getting older and his sons are getting stronger, and the relationship between father, son, monarch and ministers has become subtle. Therefore, he would rather be weak in public opinion than be favored by those ministers and then chatter about him. Send him to the position of prince.
He hoped that even if one day he was indeed established as the prince, it would be out of his father's own wishes and not by the courtiers pushing him forward with their momentum and righteousness.
"What's wrong with returning to Beijing? The princess, the prince and the princess are all waiting for me!" Jiang Yucong's face returned to its usual softness, and the joy in his eyes almost showed through.
…
Jiang Yuming wanted to cry.
He accidentally knocked over the wine vat presented by the queen, so everything in the past few days was just to clean up.
First, dig out the soil that has been saturated with wine and fill it with new soil to avoid the smell of wine.
Although the wine evaporates not very slowly, it is not easy to disperse dozens of bottles of wine in the area where guests pass by.
He didn't want to be "drunk before drinking" at the family banquet that his father was looking forward to!
"Uncle Jing Wang, my guards have just finished shoveling the soil and started building the platform again. Are you too good at taking advantage of people?"
King Jing shook his fan and said, "You are very aware": "I will give you a guarantee in front of my brother, but I have said that you will do your best to make up for it!"
Jiang Yuming felt a toothache when he saw him like this.
He didn't understand. His father clearly knew that he had not left, so why didn't he chase them away? Even if he didn't chase people away, he still refused to see him directly. He asked Uncle Jing to pass on every order, which made him uneasy now, for fear that his father was holding back a big move.
"Not only does the emperor's sister-in-law not argue with you, but she also lets you brew a vat of the Lu family's secret wine yourself. What does this mean?"
"Haha." Jiang Yuming sneered twice.
It is said that the queen was kind and tolerant. Not only did she not blame him for his rash actions, but she taught him the secret brewing method passed down from her ancestors.
But who has ever thought about whether he cares about it?
The whole world of Chu belongs to his family. He has no worries about food and clothing, so how could he care about a secret recipe for making wine.
Besides, the Queen has never been in power, so it makes no sense whether she favors him or not.
How about letting his father deal with him!
It's good now. His father turns a blind eye to him, but he can torment him hard. But to make wine, you need food from here and water from there.
In order to brew fine wine to satisfy his father, he personally transported the clear spring from the mountain to the mountain in accordance with the order his father asked Uncle Jing to convey.
"The clear spring water needs to be washed by the moon. Are you ready?"
Jiang Yuming: "!!!"
Although he couldn't brew a vat of fine wine in a few days, he firmly believed that all his father needed was his attitude!
He can guarantee that somewhere where he can't see, there will be an internal guard recording his every word and deed in a book for his father to see!
Tomorrow is a family dinner. If this vat of fine wine doesn’t take shape, I’m afraid it won’t be easy!
