Hard to be a good wife

Chapter 249 Missing

Tang Yue always felt that his patience was reaching its limit. He was worried and afraid all day long, and having nightmares was already normal. If he continued like this, he might prematurely age.

Every morning when he finds his own hair on the pillow, he feels inexplicably sad, and he can only wake up in a daze on the bed alone.

"Lang Jun... something is wrong!" the butler pushed the door open, his face turned pale, and his teeth were chattering when he spoke.

Tang Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he jumped out of bed wearing a pair of underpants, "What's the matter?"

"Someone came to the palace just now, saying that it was an urgent report just received in the early morning. After His Royal Highness led troops into the territory of North Vietnam, he suddenly disappeared."

"What do you mean by disappearing suddenly? How could a soldier of tens of thousands be able to shake the ground three times by stomping his feet?" Tang Yue roared loudly.

He carefully recalled the dream last night, whether there is such a scene, but the dream is basically forgotten when he wakes up, and he can't do it accurately.

"The old slave also asked the same question, but the person who came to pass the message didn't know. He only said that the palace asked him to pass the news, and ran away in a panic after speaking."

"Oh, it must be fake news!" Tang Yue put on his clothes, washed his face with cold water, and hurried to the palace. At this time, the morning court had not yet left, Tang Yue rushed directly into the main hall, and got many same eyes .

Although Tang Yue is a man, he bears the name of a princess after all, and he has never appeared on such an occasion.

It was already beyond principle for officials in the Southern Jin Dynasty to accept a male concubine, and it was absolutely impossible for them to accept the concubine's coming to court.

Even if this crown princess has wonderful abilities, it can't break their deep-rooted thoughts.

Tang Yue was sweating profusely and panting. When he ran to the main hall, his legs were already weak, and he knelt down directly. He said, "Father, is it true that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince disappeared?" Embarrassing him, with a sad face, "This is the current news."

"I don't know who sent the news, and when did it happen? My son also received a letter of safety from His Highness a few days ago."

A soldier in armor in the main hall of the Southern Jin Dynasty nodded, "Come on."

Tang Yue turned his head and looked over. It was a completely unfamiliar face. Of course, the army was tens of thousands, so he couldn't possibly know all of them.

He asked, "What is your position in the army?"

The soldier was exhausted. It could be seen that he rushed back day and night to report the news. He sat slumped on the ground with a glass of water in front of him, obviously just recovering.

"If you go back to the princess, I am just a small corporal in the army. Because I stayed in Chuzhou City, I was sent back to report this time."

"Then how are you sure that His Royal Highness is missing?" Tang Yue unconsciously raised his voice.

"Before Beizhi left Chuzhou, I hadn't heard from His Highness for ten days. Originally, there were scouts sending letters every day..."

Tang Yue interrupted him, "Maybe it's just that the scouts were killed?"

"Yes, everyone has thought about your guess, so a large number of people are sent out every day. Unfortunately, His Royal Highness has not been found for several days."

"Which general is staying in Chuzhou City?"

"It's General Hu."

Tang Yue's face darkened, Hu Jinpeng is not a reckless person, since he sent someone back to report the letter, he must have tried his best and failed to contact Prince Zhao.

"Then one day earlier, where was His Highness the Crown Prince when you finally heard from him?"

"In Shunde County, Licheng, North Vietnam, Licheng was stationed with [-] soldiers and horses. His Highness captured Licheng in just one night. After a short rest, he continued to go north. General Hu speculated that His Highness should have disappeared three miles north of Shunde County. Ten miles of Jinxi Canyon."

"It's the canyon again!" Tang Yue frowned. The terrain of the canyon is too dangerous. It is usually the favorite place for ambush soldiers. It can't be that Prince Zhao's men were wiped out by the ambush soldiers there, right?

This idea may have been shared by many officials present, but Tang Yue did not believe it at all. Prince Zhao led the army to the north, and the number was about [-], including [-] black armored guards. Can't get out.

He has absolute confidence in the Black Armor Guard.

Tang Yue calmed down for a while, and asked the King of Nanjin, "How does the father plan to arrange it?"

"Keep looking. If you want to see people, you need to see corpses. What's more, the prince has only been missing for a few days, and it's far from being in a mess."

Duke Heng nodded. He was also worried. His only son was at the front line, but his reason was still there, and he echoed, "According to my speculation, this situation may be caused by His Highness who suddenly changed the route and sent him out. The scouts couldn't get in touch. One possibility is that His Highness was trapped somewhere and couldn't get the news out for a while.

However, when the enemy army was 12, His Highness broke through and took Chuzhou back. No matter how strong the North Vietnam is, it is impossible to raise enough troops to match it in a short time. "

The Southern Jin and North Vietnam have been fighting for so many years, and the two sides know the basics well. The occasional appearance of an army like the Black Armored Guards is the result of the death of His Royal Highness, and it is not only the result of spending manpower, material and financial resources. As a result, there are also pointers from Tang Yue spanning thousands of years.

Of course, North Vietnam also has a trump card, but what trump card can do nothing to win the army led by the prince?Anyway, everyone can't think of it.

But unknown dangers like this are what everyone is most worried about, because they can't get news at all, and they can't rescue them, not to mention that it is in the territory of North Vietnam, and it is hundreds of thousands of miles away from Yecheng. The time on the road alone is enough Things are changing on the battlefield.

A group of courtiers kept talking about big things into small things, and some people flattered them whimsically that Prince Zhao might have come to the capital of North Vietnam. Because the speed was too fast, everyone couldn't find it. Tang Yue could only do it. Said hehe.

If North Vietnam was really so easy to fight, would it have been entangled with the Southern Jin Dynasty for decades?It is good that they have black armored guards, but after all, there are only 1 black armored guards, and they are not invincible. It is impossible to really capture North Vietnam with only 6 men.

Prince Zhao's family letters seldom contain anything about war strategies, for fear of being intercepted and revealing military plans, but Tang Yue can think of something.

Prince Zhao made an all-out effort to attack the north. Firstly, he wanted to capture part of the territory before the North Vietnam had time to deploy;

Tang Yue didn't believe it at all if he said that his goal was the capital of Beiyue.

"Father, it will take ten days and a half months for the news to spread from Chuzhou to Yecheng at the earliest. There are too many variables in it. Maybe His Royal Highness has returned to the city, but we are here to make random guesses. Why don't we send someone to Take a look?" Tang Yue's small abacus was clattering.

"It makes sense." The King of Southern Jin thought for a while, glanced around, and called out his names: "Ping Aiqing, I'll trouble you to go, the young people in the court are too young, and I still need you if something happens." Hold on, old minister."

Duke Heng is very grateful, even if the King of Nanjin doesn't name him, he still intends to ask him to go and see the situation, whether it is his son or the prince, they are all the objects of his concern.

After the meeting, Tang Yue and Heng Guogong walked together. Tang Yue looked at each other eagerly, like a puppy who didn't ask for meat, which made Heng Guogong's heart twitch.

"Crown princess, don't worry, I'll go to the old minister, why don't you worry about it?"

Tang Yue really wanted to say, how can he rest assured if he didn't see him with his own eyes? "Then you must pay attention to safety. You are an old man with old arms and legs. How can your body be able to bear it if you have to travel long distances?"

Tang Yue sighed a few times, and made a suggestion, "Why don't I take care of your body along the way?"

Duke Heng trembled his beard, "Wake up, why are you so worried that the king will not know? Since he doesn't name you, he wants you to stay in Yecheng, and he will definitely not give you a chance to travel."

"But it's useless for me to stay in Yecheng except to be anxious."

"How can it be useless? As long as you are in Yecheng for a day, the Prince's Mansion will still be the Prince's Mansion, and no one dares to discuss it. You have to remember that Yecheng is the foundation of His Royal Highness, and guarding here is equivalent to guarding His Royal Highness." The task of the Crown Princess is arduous."

Tang Yue also knew this reason, wasn't it because of this when he came back?

The news on the border is blocked, if there is a rumor spread to Yecheng, everyone thinks that the crown prince has been killed, just like this time, someone may come out and propose another crown prince.

Over the years, seeing the princes grow up one by one, not all of them are law-abiding lords, and with a little provocation, competitors may emerge.

Tang Yue understands these reasons, but the whole Southern Jin Dynasty is not as important as Prince Zhao's life. If someone really wants to take the opportunity to make trouble, at worst, let Prince Zhao fight back later.

The military power of the Southern Jin Dynasty is really not much under the command of outsiders.

"The old minister may just stay with His Highness right away. Except for the 3 soldiers and horses he brought with him, the remaining [-] soldiers and horses will be handed over to the Crown Princess." Heng Guogong winked at him, and the hint in it was different. It goes without saying.

Tang Yue instantly became a big local tyrant with military power in his hands, and his excitement was suppressed by the responsibilities on his shoulders before he got up.

These people are not so easy to control. He wished that he would never have to use them. Once they were used, it would mean that there was turmoil in Yecheng.

He took a long breath and replied firmly, "I understand."
