"Master, Lu Jinwei is here."

A light shout was heard from outside the cave.

"Is Lu Bei back?"

Prince Chenbei frowned. Weren't Lubei and Tie Shiqi sent by their father to the border to carry out a secret mission? When did they come back? And Lunan, who came to Chishan with him, I don't know how he is doing.

Chu Jianan frowned. He didn't want Lu Bei to see through Qiqi's identity, so he sent Lu Bei away. Now it seems that Lu Bei arrived at the designated location at the foot of the mountain, but did not find the prince, so he turned back.

"His Royal Highness."

Master Fengchi said that the prince's disappearance was a royal secret and that few people knew about it. He briefly explained the matter to Prince Chenbei.

"How many of the Empress Xi and the Prime Minister's troops are in the mountains?"

Hearing Master Fengchi say the numbers,

Chen Bei's face was as gloomy as water, and he sneered in his heart. This time, Xi Fei and her group had planned to lure him into Chishan late at night by using the appearance of the Princess of Qi as bait, and set a trap to kill him. Although he did not die, their plan had been exposed. The two factions had already torn their faces apart. So no matter what, they would not let themselves leave Chishan alive.

At this time, he was seriously injured. Although he was protected by Fengchi, this would inevitably involve the Imperial Master's Mansion in the struggle for the throne between the two factions. In the royal family, the struggle for the throne has always been a bloody and life-and-death struggle.

In the court, his power is far inferior to that of the Xifei faction.

He led troops outside all year round. Although he held military power, they were all border guards. The garrisons in several states near the royal city were all controlled by the prime minister's confidants. Even the 100,000 imperial guards in the royal city, although the commander-in-chief was Lu Yuan who supported him. But the prime minister's people had already hollowed out the army. If they really turned against each other, it was estimated that the number of imperial guards that Lu could mobilize would be less than that of the prime minister.

So now, he must sneak back to the East Palace secretly and not show up in Chishan, otherwise it will cause a bloody battle.

"Go through the secret tunnel."

Prince Chenbei said in a deep voice,

"Call that girl over here and let her lead the way."

What girl?

Master Fengchi frowned, and a bad feeling rose in his heart. No wonder, these days, when he observed the sky at night, he found that the Red Luan Star (the star of the prince next to the emperor star) was moving abnormally. The prince really met his destined woman in the mountains.

Master Fengchi's sharp eyes swept towards Chu Jianan, "Qiqi, this girl is also in this mountain." Could it be that the prince met this girl, Qiqi?

"Master, I am incompetent and failed to keep Princess Qi Jiang for David."

Chu Jianan remained calm, his eyelashes drooped, and his eyes were covered so that no one could see the changes. But what he said surprised the Imperial Master and Chen Bei.

"Princess Qi Jiang, did you meet Princess Qi Jiang in the mountains?"

Master Fengchi couldn't believe it. Princess Qi Jiang was missing, and he had calculated her location, but he could only figure out that she was still near the royal city, and that the princess looked very powerful. She knew how to escape, and her whereabouts were always erratic. Chishan was the deepest mountain close to the royal city that was most conducive to hiding one's whereabouts. It was also possible that Princess Qi Jiang and her group hid here.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince was actually saved by Princess Qi Jiang?"

State Master Fengchi looked at Prince Chenbei, seemingly thinking about something.

Could it be that the movement of the Crown Prince's Red Luan Star that he calculated was because of the Crown Prince and Princess Qi Jiang?

"Ah."

Chen Bei glanced at Chu Jianan. He didn't know this senior brother who was as deep as the sea. He felt a little annoyed by this effeminate senior brother who was prettier than a woman. He was not like his father, who believed that the fortune of a country depended on the witchcraft of the national master. He always believed that the fortune of a country depended on the will of the people and the strength of the country and the army. It was just that he respected his master, so he didn't think about shaking the status of the National Master's Mansion.
