Chapter 286 Xiao Heyu
"Qinxin, come with me." Shen Shuyi retracted his gaze and planned to go over to take a look.
"Yes."
After about a cup of tea's time, Shen Shuyi climbed to the cave entrance with the help of Qin Xin.
Shaking the dust off his hands, Shen Shuyi looked inside the cave. There were quite a few dead branches and rocks piled up at the entrance.
Shen Shuyi didn't move the stone. She pushed the dead branches aside and moved closer.
The light was still good at this time, so Shen Shuyi got closer and looked inside.
"Tsk, it's all thanks to this fat rabbit."
Shen Shuyi spoke softly, and looked around, seeing a cave full of swords, sabers, and longbows piled up.
This cave looks very shallow from the outside, and doesn't even look like a cave, but it is actually very deep inside and connected to the mountain.
Qin Xin followed behind Shen Shuyi. Shen Shuyi didn't try to avoid her, so she could see all the weapons and armor.
"This is……"
Weapons!
These are not just ordinary weapons, there are such large quantities of them and they are the military standards of the Daqian Dynasty.
Shen Shuyi piled the branches back, noted the location, turned around and said, "Let's go back first."
It seems that what was shown in the previous life is true.
I just don't know how many weapons the Third Prince has hidden away. After all, judging from the quantity, although there are many weapons, they should not be enough.
Shen Shuyi walked back, thinking.
These weapons were all made by the Weapon Forging Bureau. Although she couldn't see them clearly just now, she could vaguely recognize the markings on them.
In other words, someone in the Ministry of War and the Forging Bureau must have colluded with the Third Prince, otherwise, how could so many weapons flow out of the Weiwei Temple.
I don’t know what arrangements Bao Kun has made. I guess after returning from the Jade Buddha Temple, he should have gone to the Weiwei Temple to take up his post.
Shen Shuyi fell into memories. In his previous life, Xiao Tingshan overthrew the Third Prince by means of huge corruption, disregard for human life, and multiple crimes, which pushed the Third Prince to the cusp of the storm. Before that, the Third Prince had also lost the Emperor's favor for hoarding weapons.
But after all, the Third Prince and Concubine Rou were already strong enough, and although this incident made him suspected by Emperor Qianwu, Emperor Qianwu still doted on this son, so the Third Prince's status was not completely jeopardized.
She had no grudge against the Third Prince, so there was no need for her to get involved in this scandal.
But on the one hand, the Chai family has a close relationship with the third prince, which makes her suspect that the Jiang family's treason case in the past was closely related to this extremely noble prince.
Secondly, what did my brother encounter that made the Third Prince want to get rid of him as soon as possible, and made Shen Jingchuan remain silent about it.
Just as the two were walking back, a young boy in thin and ragged clothes ran out from the bushes with a disheveled look on his face.
The young man was panting, his face was covered in dirt, his hair was dry and yellow, and he was too thin. However, despite his miserable appearance, his eyes were still clear and beautiful.
But Shen Shuyi ignored those eyes and his gaze fell on his cheek, which had a big "sin" branded on it.
"Hurry...run!" The young man rushed forward and was stunned for a moment when he saw Shen Shuyi and Qin Xin.
Looking again, the boy's body was covered in blood. He was barefoot with chains on his ankles. His feet were black and dirty, mixed with dark red blood.
Shen Shuyi frowned, and just as he was about to speak, he heard Qin Xin say, "A large number of troops are approaching."
Upon hearing this, the boy's eyes turned red and filled with fear: "They are coming! Run! Run!!!"
After saying that, he rushed forward without looking back, as if there was a flood or a beast behind him.
Shen Shuyi held him back and pointed to a hidden cave they had just passed by: "Go hide over there."
The young man looked at her in shock, his lips were white and dry, with cracks all over them.
"You leave too! They kill without blinking an eye, they won't let you go!"
The young man spoke eagerly, and at this moment, the sound of horse hooves behind him became louder and louder, and dust could be seen flying not far away.
"Who?" Shen Shuyi quickly asked the key question, but after saying it, he felt that he was doing something unnecessary.
Who else could gallop in the Third Prince’s hunting ground except this extremely noble prince?
The boy's lips trembled violently, and his eyes were filled with unshakable fear.
Shen Shuyi didn't ask any more questions, and pushed him behind him: "Go first!"
The young man struggled to look at her, and when he saw Qin Xin pull out the soft sword, he trembled and said, "Hide, you must hide!"
After saying that, the young man ran away without looking back and hid in the direction Shen Shuyi pointed.
Shen Shuyi and Qin Xin were still some distance away from Yuping and the others, so they quickly found a low slope and hid behind it.
Shen Shuyi glanced in the direction of Yuping and the others with concern, and a hint of worry flashed across his eyes.
The fire over there is still smoking, and it won't be long before these people notice the movement over there.
"Go tell them to put out the fire." Shen Shuyi spoke in a deep voice with cold eyes.
Qin Xin was stunned for a moment: "But you..."
"Go quickly." Shen Shuyi interrupted with a frown.
Considering her two lifetimes combined, this Third Prince was not a good person. She couldn't gamble with Jinzhu, Yuping, or even Jianpo's lives.
If His Highness had any concerns, he would at most be concerned about her status as the Shangshu's legitimate daughter. As for Yuping and the others, he probably wouldn't be polite...
Qin Xin's throat tightened and she struggled for a moment: "I'll go to a closer location to send a message to Jian Po, and I'll be back soon."
Shen Shuyi said nothing, just waved his hand, his eyes still on the place where the dust was rolling.
After a while, a large amount of smoke and dust rose up and came closer and closer.
Shen Shuyi lowered his body and looked outside. He saw a team of hundreds of people approaching with laughter.
The group of people were all riding tall horses. The one leading them was wearing silver-white armor and a golden crown on his head. He had a handsome face, but his eyes had a sinister look that made people feel uncomfortable.
Those eyes were somewhat similar to Wenren Zong's, but not exactly the same.
Perhaps it is because he was born to be second only to one man and above everyone else, the man has an indomitable arrogance, as well as the arrogance and cruelty of taking human life lightly. In addition, there is a clear visible indifference to human life and grass.
The third prince——Xiao Heyu.
Shen Shuyi repeated the name silently in his heart.
At this moment, Xiao Heyu was holding a longbow in his hand, with a sword on his waist and a pair of short boots with gold patterns on his feet. A group of people followed him, including young talents and many fawning people. They all acted according to Xiao Heyu's expression.
Among them, sitting very close to Xiao Heyu was Chai Bin, whom Shen Shuyi had just met not long ago.
Chai Bin was also wearing armor at this time, holding a longbow in his hand, with his feet on the stirrups, looking quite nimble, and it seemed that his previous injuries had almost healed.
"Your Highness, there is movement over there!" Chai Bin, with sharp eyes, pointed at one side of the forest and laughed arrogantly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the girl who had been hiding in the forest began to run in panic. She also had chains on her feet and a big "sin" mark on her face.
