Chapter 343 Mystery
"Ah Fu, now is not the time." How could Jiang Wu not know what Shen Fu was thinking? She smiled softly and suppressed the cold light in her eyes, "You also know that they can't do anything to me."

Wang Miaoyan caused her to lose her two sons, and constantly instigated their relationship, making her unhappy. How could she leave the Duke's Mansion so easily before Wang Miaoyan paid the price?
She could not let Wang Miaoyan live so freely as if nothing had happened.

Shen Fu felt complicated.

Just as Jiang Wu understood him, he also understood Jiang Wu's thoughts.He felt guilty for the two hardships she had experienced previously, and blamed himself for not being able to protect her properly. He wanted to say that he would avenge her and the child, but knowing her nature, he knew that Jiang Wu would refuse.

Since she was unwilling to move out, he would do his best to protect her under his wings.

Not long after the two returned to the room, An Yi also came back to investigate.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates discovered that the third prince secretly trained a group of troops and hid them in the Mulan Paddock. I dare not get too close, but I estimate that there are about 500 private soldiers in that group."

500 people, if they sneak into the palace without anyone noticing, it is really possible to succeed.

The two of them looked at each other, and neither of them expected that the third prince was so bold as to secretly raise private soldiers. If this was exposed, they might not even be able to keep the whole body.

"The third prince has a private army in his captivity. I suspect that the group of people who ambush and assassinate him earlier may not be simple bandits." Jiang Wu narrowed her eyes.

"It is indeed possible." Shen Fu nodded.

This was great news for them. The two of them were still thinking about how to search for evidence. After all, it had been so long and it would be extremely difficult to search for evidence again.

What's more, the emperor only gave him a three-day deadline.In just three days, it was difficult to find useful clues.

Now that we know that the third prince keeps private soldiers, it shows that he has already had a disobedient heart, and it is reasonable for him to ambush Shen Fu who leads his troops on an expedition.

As long as he except Shen Fu and the military power falls into the hands of the third prince, then the throne is basically his.

"This matter cannot be reported directly to the emperor. Not to mention that the emperor loves to play trade-offs and likes to make you and the third prince restrain each other. If you tell the emperor directly, not only will the emperor be suspicious, but it will also be easy to alert the snake. What if the emperor sends someone to go there? During the investigation, the third prince was alarmed, and he missed it, and it was difficult to explain to the emperor." Jiang Wu analyzed.

Shen Fu also knew this and his eyes flashed slightly: "It happens that the royal autumn hunting will be held in three days. At that time, the emperor will take the princes and ministers to the autumn hunting. We can take this opportunity to lure the emperor there and let the emperor go. I witnessed with my own eyes the private soldiers that the third prince secretly raised."

"It's just that the Autumn Hunters in three days are too arrogant. The Third Prince also knows that the Autumn Hunting Festival will be held at Mulan Paddock, and it is very likely that the troops will be transferred to other places during the period." Jiang Wu shook her head. The Third Prince has always been cunning and left the troops in Mulan. The risks in the paddock were too great, and he would not have thought of this.

"The private soldiers raised by the third prince are deep in the paddock, where large beasts have been kept for a long time. For safety reasons, almost no one approaches that area during autumn hunting every year. Maybe the third prince is also confident because of this." An Dao said. .

"It will indeed be difficult for those private soldiers to evacuate without anyone noticing within three days. But to be on the safe side, I will send people to keep an eye on those private soldiers. If there is any change, we can be prepared. "Shen Fu said.

Both nodded in agreement.

The day of the autumn hunting soon came. Xu was confident that the third prince was confident, but there was no trouble at all among the soldiers.

Shen Fu has become familiar with the prosthetic limbs and now walks like a normal person.

The third prince looked at Shen Fu, who was dressed in military uniform, with a provocative look in his eyes: "Is it really possible for the prince's legs to ride a horse? If not, don't hold on, or you will hurt yourself."

"Thank you for your trouble, Third Prince." Hearing the sarcasm in his tone, Shen Fu was not annoyed. He turned on his horse with a calm expression, his movements smooth and elegant.

When the third prince saw this, a dark color flashed in his eyes, and his expression returned to normal in an instant.He didn't expect that Shen Fu's legs seemed to be unrestricted in use. If he hadn't known that Shen Fu had a broken leg, he would never have guessed it just by looking at it like this.

The emperor also wore a military uniform and rode a strong black horse. When everyone was ready, he gave an order to announce the start of the autumn hunting.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of people were like arrows that had left their strings, riding away at high speed, leaving only afterimages behind.

There will be a lottery prize every autumn hunting, and who gets this lottery prize is determined by the most sleeping prey.

The third prince drove his horse to catch up with Shen Fu, with a flamboyant and wanton smile on his lips: "Why don't we two compete today to see who can hunt the most prey?"

"I'm happy to accompany you." Shen Fu raised his eyebrows, looked at the emperor riding a horse behind him, and suggested, "I heard that the emperor is good at riding and shooting. I wonder if the emperor would be interested in competing with the three princes?"

After hearing what he said, the emperor also became interested: "It's true that I haven't let go and played for a long time, and I don't know if I have regressed. Since the prince has proposed it, I will shamelessly compete with you young people."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Shen Fu relaxed a little and took the lead in riding into the woods.

Since the emperor was accompanied by a group of guards, he was not worried about the third prince's secret being discovered and he would become angry and kill anyone.

When the two saw this, they immediately drove their horses to follow.

The three of them hunted all the prey they encountered on the road, and allowed the guards following the emperor to put away and count the prey.

It is true that the emperor's sword is still young. He was good at riding and shooting when he was young, and now he can shoot almost accurately.

The third prince and Shen Fu were also on par. The two seemed to be fighting hard, always eyeing the same prey, and then fighting for each other.

As a result, the two of them did not hunt as many prey as the emperor.

The emperor watched the two young men compete with each other happily.

Shen Fu inadvertently led the group deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the bushes in front of them. Everyone looked with bated breath. First they saw a pair of beautiful antlers, and then an extremely strong male deer walked out of the bushes.

As if he didn't expect to encounter so many people, the buck was startled and immediately turned around and ran away.

The third prince shot an arrow in the air and turned to look at Shen Fu: "How about the two of us compete to see who can hunt that deer?"

After saying that, without waiting for Shen Fu's reaction, he drove his horse and chased the deer away.

Seeing him chasing him deeper, Shen Fu's eyes moved slightly and he also rode a horse to catch up.

By the time the emperor arrived, the deer had disappeared. Just as he was about to ask questions, Shen Fu suddenly saw a pair of antlers flash past. He drove his horse to follow and drew his bow and arrow.

The third prince also looked in that direction at this time, took out an arrow, nocked it, and aimed at Shen Bing, who was hunting a deer.
