Perhaps the secret of the quarry was too important, the people who intercepted them came one after another, Xun Qi was injured several times, and almost lost his life, someone suddenly appeared to help them. In the end, they were sent to the vicinity of Shengjing, so that they could find a chance to come back.

Chang An rolled up his sleeves and showed Jiang Lin that there were many whip marks on it. He cried out, "Master, they beat me, those people are so vicious, they beat people to death before."

Not only was there injury on his body, but he also lost a lot of weight. Obviously, he didn't eat well during this period of time.

Jiang Lin patted his head, "It's all right, take good care of your wounds, tell Baiji and Baiwei what you want to eat, and I'll make it for you."

Chang An nodded, "Thank you, young master."

Jiang Lin came out of Chang'an's room and went to see Xun Qi with Wei Yunzhao.

Chu Ba was guarding here, looking very angry, "Bastard, how dare they do this to my brother, Lao Chu must hammer to death this dog thing. "If you spoke in a rough voice, you looked particularly loyal.

Wei Yunzhao glanced at him, "Keep your voice down, don't wake Xun Qi up, let him have a good rest."

Chu Ba covered his mouth with a handkerchief, he looked attractive and beautiful, if he didn't speak.

Jiang Lin roughly understood why Wei Yunzhao was used to the contrast between Chuba’s speech and his appearance, because it was really a pity, and it ruined the atmosphere too much.

Wei Yunzhao went to check Xun Qi's wound, and felt relieved when he saw that although it looked serious, he didn't hurt his muscles or bones. Jiang Lin poured a glass of water for Wei Yunzhao to feed it to Xun Qi.

Wei Yunzhao guessed there was something in the water, so he thanked Jiang Lin silently, without asking anything, and fed the water to Xun Qi.

Wei Yunzhao asked Chu Ba to guard Xun Qi carefully and call them when he woke up.

Chu Ba slapped his chest loudly, agreed, and stood at the door with his legs spread apart, with the air of being a man who was in charge of everything, but he was not allowed to say anything.

The two returned to the room and sat down facing each other, their expressions a little dignified.

Jiang Lin said, "I know that the second prince is not simple, he is a ruthless person, but he is scarier than I thought."

Not only money but also people, and he was very thorough when he caught a sheep.

And these people had a lot in common, they separated from their wives or their families were broken up, so even if they disappeared, no one would look for them.

There were also people who would go to the yamen to find someone, but as long as they couldn't find it, and it was not a large number, no one would notice that something was wrong.

This kind of method was not only used in Shengjing, he was afraid that more people would be lost in other places, and if some pressure was put on the officials of small places, it was estimated that even if the people would be hollowed out, the local officials would not look for them.

He was afraid that the second prince would get a lot of people with this method, and if he was given more time, it would be enough to form an army that could intimidate the imperial court.

Yes, the second prince's way of doing this, Jiang Lin's first thought was that he was raising private soldiers.

Then he quickly thought of another point, "Wei Yunzhao, did the second prince have his eye on the Wei family and on you a long time ago, and he wanted to pull you into his gang and ask you to help him train the private soldiers?"

Wei Yunzhao was a general who had been on the battlefield and had been in the barracks all year round. He had his own method of training soldiers, and the soldiers he trained were probably incomparable to ordinary people.

The most important thing was that Wei Yunzhao was good at commanding. If the Second Prince really wanted to rebel, he would need a strategic general under his command.

Wei Yunzhao shook his head, "It's not clear, maybe the second prince had the idea of ​​rebellion before, but now he might want to replace the crown prince, and he also has a chance. "

If it was known at this time that he trained private soldiers with the intention of rebelling, the second prince's fate would be much worse than the crown prince.

In fact, the most important thing now was not to let people discover that Xun Qi and Chang An were members of the Wei family, otherwise the second prince would definitely kill them.

Instead of using some Gu worms like the empress, the second prince's methods would be more direct.

Wei Yunzhao said: "When Xun Qi gets better, let him take Chang An to leave Shengjing first, and stay elsewhere for a while, and come back after the turmoil in Shengjing passes."

This turmoil would pass, and it probably would pass when someone else sat on the dragon chair or the second prince died.

Jiang Lin nodded and had no objection, "But Chang An said that they were able to come back alive because of someone's help. Who else was investigating the second prince besides us?"

After Jiang Lin asked, the name of the sixth prince subconsciously flashed in his mind, but he was not sure, this person's hatred was mainly concentrated on the empress and the crown prince. He hated Emperor Changde more than he hated the second prince, so there was no reason to investigate him.

Unless, "Do you think the sixth prince have the intention about the throne?"

Wei Yunzhao's answer was, "Something can only be done after becoming the most powerful person in the world, and he is a prince, so it’s normal for him to think about the throne. "

What Jiang Lin thought was that the sixth prince wanted to justify his birth mother's name and return her innocence, so he wanted to be emperor.

Anyway, no one in this family was a good stubble.

After the two discussed it, Jiang Lin ordered all the people in the courtyard to keep their mouths shut, and no news about Chang An and Xun Qi was allowed to leak out.

The biggest problem was if the people on the side of the second prince recognized Xun Qi and Chang An, and by then it would be useless for them to quibble.

Before that, they could only try their best to cover it up and take a step forward.
