Walking north, Bai Heran carried sword shadows and winter snow, and Jun Mulin led Luo Xiu with only one purpose: to find the Ninth Prince.

But the Ninth Prince is not that easy to find. If it were easy to find, the people from the Jian Palace would have brought him back long ago, so there would be no need for them to take action in person.

Before leaving the palace, people from the hall sent back news that the last time they saw the ninth prince was in Gaoping County, Hezhou Prefecture.

They separated from the Ninth Prince in Gaoping County, returned to the palace in between, and the Ninth Prince continued to travel north.

Dongtianxue guessed whether Guo Wentian's people were still ambushing outside. Could it be that in addition to the 200,000 private soldiers, there were still private soldiers outside and waiting for the ambush.

The ninth prince only took the words away, and it was difficult to break through with a single person.

But Jun Mulin didn't think so. He suspected that Guo Wentian had other foreign aid and hid in a place they didn't know.

Moreover, this foreign aid is not a private soldier, but other forces. The reason why the Ninth Prince has never been restrained is to provide them with clues.

But where is the clue?

Gaoyang County is not close to you, and the group keeps urging their horses.

Bai Heran remembered that when he was in the Qingming Palace, Jun Mulin asked to go to Gebu with her, so he asked him: "If you leave with me, aren't you afraid that there will be no one in Dongqin?

The remnants of Ye Guo’s family have made a comeback, who will lead the troops?

If something big happens again, who will deal with it?"

Jun Mulin glanced at her, "There must be some worries, but you can't stay in Shangdu and wait for it just because of worry.

The old man thought about spreading it to me in the future. If it was true, then as the king of a country, I would never lead my troops to fight in person when encountering war, and even the troops in the world would not be held in my own hands.

I always need someone to take over my current position. To train them earlier, even if they grow up sooner, we will avoid worrying too much in the future.”

"Who are you going to train?"

After thinking about it, she couldn't think of a very suitable candidate. Finally, she thought of her third uncle Bai Xingcang, but shook her head again, "Do you want to count on my third uncle?"

But he is one generation older than me, and he is getting older every year, and he will retreat one day.

You can't ask everyone to lead troops to fight like Guo Wentian.

Besides, I saw that Guo Wentian was also holding on. Compared with the young soldiers that night, he was much slower and obviously too old."

Jun Mulin nodded, "You have made sense. Although your third uncle can still last for ten or twenty years, there will always be a day when he can't fight. Therefore, cultivating the younger generation is the top priority now.

Ranran, does that boy from your third uncle have such ambition?"

Bai Heran was stunned, "You said Feng'er?"

She remembered the boy who had been playing with Bai Haoxuan recently, and smiled on her face, "It's such a good candidate. I originally wanted him to learn something else, so I didn't practice martial arts all day long.

But after all, he was still more interested in the path his father took. At least he was very good at starting the military strategy, just like Xuan'er talking about medical books, which was very introductory.

I once promised him to tell you for him and let you give me some advice. If you really have this heart and I also fulfilled my promise, the child will be very happy."

Jun Mulin sighed: "It is time for him to be very happy with a sister like you."

Forget it, if I have the chance, I will teach him, which can be regarded as cultivating my confidant.

The future brother-in-law, such a person will be more at ease to use."

He smiled at Bai Heran, "The person who can make our family Ranran look at must be wrong. I believe this person."

"Don't trust me too much, either."

Bai Heran sighed, "At least I'm the one in the palace, Yu Ben, was gone."

"That's not a mistake."

Jun Mulin waved his hand, "It's just that people have transformations, what is missing is an opportunity to fit.

The reason why I turned against me is because you cured Xiao Eleven's body. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid he would never rebel in his life.

Eunuchs, their bodies are incomplete, and their minds have changed from the moment they choose to purify themselves.

The ancestors of Dong Qin once proposed not to use eunuchs, but the facts proved that the palace was unstable and the people's hearts were unstable, so they continued to use it.

Ranran, if you don’t like it, we will dismiss the palace slaves and seal the house of the purity room in the future.”

"Forget it!"

Bai Heran shook his head, "The palace slave has cut off his body. If you dismiss them, how do you let them live?

As for the seal of the Clean Affairs Room, I wonder if I think too much. If there are still palace slaves serving the royal family, if you seal the Clean Affairs Room, it means that there will be no more people like the palace slave in the future. What do you think about the existing palace slaves?

They will feel that they have not caught up with the good times, and will begin to envy the male slaves who are not eunuchs who enter the palace later. They will gradually feel resentful and become like Yu Ben, and go to extremes.

So you see, there are many old rules, even if we want to change, we can't really follow our wishes and change it just by saying it."

From night to day, and then to the darkness of the sky, the group never stopped and finally arrived on the path outside Gaoping County.

There are many people and horses, and they are tired, so they have to stop and find some forage for the horses.

There is an inn outside Gaoping County, but it is not opened by the official family.

Jun Mulin asked Luo Xiu to go to the inn to ask for fodder. Winter snow was a little worried: "Is it safe?

How come a hotel suddenly appeared in this place?"

Luo Xiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's safe. Moreover, the inn did not appear suddenly, but was there all the time. Although it was not opened by the official family, it was a Hong family's business station, and it was nothing."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the inn.

But he came back soon and ran back, "Master, something happened."

Bai Heran's heart skipped a beat, and he heard Luo Xiu say, "There are still fodders in the inn, but everyone is dead." Jun Mulin rushed in first, and Bai Heran followed closely behind, and saw a corpse on the ground, with a total of six.

She frowned at the time, "It's poison."

After careful observation, he immediately asserted that, "It is not the poison of the Central Plains, but from Gebu."

He asked her, "Why are you sure it's from Gobu?"

Bai Heran took a deep breath, "Because my cousin is dead, it's this kind of poison that is being eaten.

She is a Gebu man, and the poison is hidden on her to poison the Guo clan, and she eventually died with Xiangyao."

When she talked about plum fruit, she felt sad.

Jianying walked forward, checked the bodies one by one, and searched the inn for a while, but no clue was found.

"The person who poisoned the poisoning was a veteran. Not only did he poison the people in the inn, but he should have also cleaned the scene so that no clue was left."

Jianying pointed to these corpses and the inn and said, "There are obvious traces of being cleaned up here. Your Highness Nine should have been here, and it is even possible that it will leave important clues here. Therefore, the Gebu people cleaned up the place with the purpose of not letting us find him."

Jun Mulin looked at each other with Bai Heran, and his face was not good-looking.

He said: "It seems that the trip to Gebu must be put on the agenda in advance.

Ranran, we may not be able to wait for the fifth brother to be buried, or I will go first, and you will catch up with me after he is buried?"

She thought for a while, shook her head, "Go back to Beijing first, and then we set off together."

The group did not delay, so they found for fodder to feed the horses and set off immediately.

The inn's corpses were no longer in time. Baihe dyed a poisonous array, which prevented others from entering here, and at the same time, it could also protect the corpses from being destroyed.

When you return to Beijing, someone will be sent here. The bodies of the Hong family merchants must not be thrown away from the wilderness, and they must be transported back to the capital.

This road is the road to Han Gan. Although Jun Mulin is the one who is heading towards Gebu, the Gebu people chose to ambush the Ninth Prince here, which shows that they had a long plan and a long choice.

There is no need for them to chase north anymore. The direction is wrong and it is useless to chase.

I had to go back to Beijing first and then go towards Gebu.

On the way back to Beijing, the atmosphere became even more dull. It was not until another day and a half night that the speed of urging the horse slowed down again.

Bai Heran is now very reluctant to come and go at the North City Gate, because Jun Mufeng's life is buried in this place. Every time she passes by, she will think of the second prince stabbing Jun Mufeng in the heart, and her life is gone. She will never see the person's fox-like smile again, and her heart is curdled.

Jun Mulin stretched out his hand to her on the horse's back and held it with both hands to calm her down.

No one in Shangdu City has planned to celebrate the New Year again. The royal mourning has disappeared. There are two princes all at once. Who dares to put on lights and decorate at this time?

So every household put away the red lights, and many families even tied white flowers with white cloth and hung them at the door to express their condolences.

Bai Heran didn't like this atmosphere very much, but he had no way to escape, so he could only ride a horse in the sadness of the whole city.

She didn't enter the palace, and the matters in the palace were free to be arranged by Jun Mulin, so she had to go to the General's Mansion in Zhenbei first.

Uncle San should be back to Beijing soon. Such a big thing happened in Beijing. With Guo Wentian's death and Jun Mulin's about to leave, the burden on Bai Xingcang, the third master of the Bai family, will be even heavier.

She had to make Aunt San mentally prepared, including Bai Haofeng's affairs, and also had to make her feel free to think about whether to let her son go on this path.

The General’s Mansion in Zhenbei was also smashed by the Guo family army. Although there were not many valuable items, it was not easy to pack them up.

When Bai Heran entered the mansion, the third lady had just sniffed for a while and woke up when she heard that she had arrived, she immediately got up and went out to greet her.

Bai Heran was not polite. Seeing that the mansion had almost done everything, he told the third lady about his purpose and what happened in Gaoping County. Then he shook the third lady's hand and said, "I'm not asking the third aunt to make a decision immediately. I will set off for Gebu soon, and the third aunt will consider the days carefully.

But Uncle San has to receive troops as soon as he comes back. The Tenth Highness will arrange these things with the Emperor, and Aunt San is prepared in his heart."

The third lady nodded, "Aran, don't worry, your third uncle has led his troops for many years and has followed the Tenth Highness for many years, so he will not lose his position.

As for Feng'er..." She smiled bitterly, "That child is an idea, just make his own decisions."
