Chapter 237 Queen Zhou sees off the second prince

Although the second prince is protected by thousands of guards, this is not a problem for Jun Lintian.

Because he had no intention of dealing with the Second Prince directly from the beginning, and he would not take action against the Second Prince in the capital or around the capital.

The reason why they were able to send people to kill Su Yuanwu outside the capital was because Su Yuanwu was not a very important person.

In addition, he was exiled and had no guards around him, so he was able to succeed.

But the Second Prince is surrounded by so many people, and because of his status as a prince, if one wants to take action against him, one naturally has to find another way.

After all, the second prince is still a prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the biological son of the Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou was worried that the Second Prince would take away his power, but at the same time, he was also worried that he would have no successor and no one would be able to inherit the throne.

So Emperor Zhou was naturally a little conflicted.

He valued the Second Prince's ability, but was also worried that he was too capable.

Therefore, for Emperor Zhou, the Second Prince must not die as easily as Su Yuanwu.

At least he had to leave a useful person for the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"What do you plan to do, young master?"

After Jun Mengyao heard Jun Lintian's words, her beautiful eyes also emitted a little light.

She knew that the young master would definitely have a way.

After all, the young master has never let her down.

Jun Lintian did not give too much explanation at this time, but asked Jun Mengyao to get paper and pen.

He had already thought of a plan. As long as he revealed the whereabouts of the Second Prince to the neighboring Xuanwu Empire, the Second Prince would die quickly.

Although this move is detrimental to the national interests of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jun Lintian does not care that much.

Even the several thousand guards of the Second Prince are the military force of the Great Zhou Dynasty and possess considerable combat effectiveness.

But in Jun Lintian's eyes, as long as the military force did not belong to his Jun family, he would not feel any pain if they died.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist.

Jun Lintian strongly agrees with this truth.

What's more, these guards of the Second Prince may even pose a threat to Jun Lintian in the future.

He didn't want to leave any trouble behind and have his car taken away in the future.

Even if these troops are not mobilized by the second prince, they will be mobilized by Emperor Zhou.

Before the Jun family completely controls the Great Zhou, he will not have any mercy on the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, Jun Mengyao had already taken out paper and pen.

Jun Lintian sat at the desk and wrote a letter.

He wrote in the letter the marching route of the Second Prince that he had previously sent people to inquire about, and wrote it in exceptional detail.

The military has always been extremely disciplined.

Especially when marching, they would rest every few miles and arrange in advance where to camp.

The places where the Second Prince Jun Lintian would rest along his marching route were all written in detail, and he even deliberately drew an emphasis line on one of the places.

Of course, when he wrote this letter, he wrote it with his left hand.

A person's handwriting is easy to recognize. Even if it is deliberately written crookedly, you can always find similarities between the lines.

Unless you write it with a different hand.

Only in this way could he prevent others from knowing that the whole thing was his doing.

After all, if the second prince died, it would be more noticeable than the death of the eldest prince. The death of the eldest prince was caused by Emperor Zhou, so he deserved to die.

But the second prince is different.

Compared with the eldest prince, the second prince is more capable, and he has also won over certain people in the court.

In addition, he was going to guard the border this time. If he died on the way, it would inevitably arouse the wrath of Emperor Zhou and the attention of those poor officials.

Once a thorough investigation is conducted, some clues will surely be discovered. After all, it is impossible to leave no traces of this matter.

Jun Lintian was not afraid that Emperor Zhou would find out about him, but if he got into some trouble, it would indeed have a certain impact on him.

"Mengyao, send someone to deliver this letter to the imperial palace of the Xuanwu Empire."

Jun Lintian called Jun Mengyao and handed the letter to her.

At the same time, he instructed: "This matter must be done cleanly, leaving no traces. Don't let the Xuanwu Empire know that this letter was sent by our people."

Jun Mengyao immediately nodded respectfully: "I understand, young master, please rest assured."

----------

Three days later.

Outside the capital city.

The second prince was wearing Ming armor. Although the armor looked well-fitting, it did not support his temperament at all because he had a scholarly air and did not have the slightest domineering air.

At this moment, his face looked a little ugly.

Originally, the second prince was looking forward to the fact that his father would change his mind within these three days.

But during these three days, he did not hear any arrangements made by his father, and his father even seemed to have not left the imperial study.

The second prince was completely disappointed.

From today on, he will leave Kyoto, the power center of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and may never have the chance to return here in the future.

If he could really come back, I'm afraid what would be sent back would only be his corpse.

Queen Zhou, in front of the Second Prince, had already burst into tears.

"Mingyu...you must pay attention to safety on your way to the border this time."

Queen Zhou's voice was a little choked.

"If you are bound to lose the battle, you must find a way to save your life. It's okay to be a deserter..."

"As long as you can come back alive, mother... will do everything she can to help you escape the crime."

After all, the second prince is her own flesh and blood, and she has raised him since he was a child.

When the time really came to part, how could Queen Zhou be willing to let go?
The second prince took out a handkerchief from his armor and wiped away his mother's tears.

He pursed his lips, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, mother. I will pay attention along the way."

"It's not that easy to kill me!"

"Father... forget it, I won't say anything more."

"Mother, it's very windy outside the capital. You should go back first. I will make sure everything goes well for me on the way."

The second prince didn't seem to want to stay here any longer, because the longer he stayed, the more reluctant he would be.

He couldn't help but look back at the capital. Today he led his army to the border, but the only person who came to see him off was his mother.

None of the officials from poor families in the court came. My father... I'm afraid he is still in his imperial study.

You know, when soldiers go to war, if the generals are very capable, the emperor will usually see them off personally.

Ordinary generals did not receive such treatment.

However, the Second Prince was the biological son of Emperor Zhou, but it was too cruel for Emperor Zhou not to come and see him off at such a moment.

Even if there are thousands of guards to support the scene, no matter how bright and dazzling the armor on these guards is.

But the scene of the expedition still looks particularly desolate and bleak.
Amid Queen Zhou's crying, the Second Prince hardened his heart, gritted his teeth and mounted his horse.

On the road to the border! (End of this chapter)
