Chapter 2200 Waste

Guan Zhuo must be seen. If he doesn't see Guan Zhuo, the second prince will never be able to come out of the prison.

If the second prince doesn't come out, there is no way he can ascend the throne and become emperor.

After a conversation, Yuan Ji's anger had dissipated for the most part. He asked people to investigate the source of the rumor while going to the Ministry of Justice with Hou Yi.

At this time, Hou Zhong, who was at the center of the rumor, didn't know that he had been calculated by Zhou Yanfeng and others. At this time, he was still hiding in the southern neighboring city.

Hou Zhong's strength was good, and he was very good at dealing with injuries because he was often injured in the past. Therefore, after taking the medicine, his injuries recovered quickly. Although he had not fully recovered, he had recovered more than half, and there was no problem walking.

However, Hou Zhong was not in a hurry to leave.

First of all, the search for him in the city had not stopped. Duan Wanming was determined not to give up until he found him. Now his strength had not fully recovered, and he was not sure that he could escape from the southern neighboring city smoothly.

The second reason is that Hou Zhong has not given up on assassinating the eldest prince Zhao Xuan!

Although the last operation failed, he was injured, his men were all killed, and the eldest prince's defense was tighter, but these could not stop Hou Zhong's determination to assassinate the eldest prince.

Moreover, although there are definitely more guards around the eldest prince now, they would never think that he would not choose to escape in this situation, but assassinate again, so that Zhao Xuan and Duan Wanming could be caught off guard.

However, although he wanted to act again, because his strength had not yet recovered, Hou Zhong was not in a hurry to act.

"What's the situation outside?" Hou Zhong asked the woman.

Now Hou Zhong dared not show up casually, so the task of inquiring about the news outside could only be handed over to the woman.

"The government officials have been looking for someone, and the streets are full of people." The woman said, "The city gates are full of soldiers, and several city gates have never been opened."

The woman now understands that the person who was being searched by the City Lord's Mansion is the person in front of her. The person in front of her must be no ordinary person, as the City Lord's Mansion has made such a big fuss. She also heard that the assassination of the eldest prince in the City Lord's Mansion should be related to the person in front of her.

Although she had guessed these, she did not dare to act rashly, let alone report the person in front of her, because her family was still under the control of this person. If she really reported him, she was afraid that her husband would die at his hands.

She was just an ordinary woman, without any big pattern. She cared more about the safety of her family. As for whether the government officials could catch people, she didn't care.

"Duan Wanming is really concerned." Hou Zhong said with a sneer.

Several days have passed, and Duan Wanming has not relaxed. The number of people searching is still increasing. It can be said that the whole city is mobilized, which shows how determined Duan Wanming is to find him.

But it's not surprising to think about it. Duan Wanming and Zhao Xuan are father-in-law and son-in-law. If Zhao Xuan really gets into trouble, Duan Wanming's future will inevitably be affected, and even the entire family may decline. Therefore, it is completely understandable that Duan Wanming is very concerned about Zhao Xuan's affairs.

"Do you know where the eldest prince is now?" Hou Zhong asked.

"I don't know." The woman shook her head.

She is just a woman. It's okay to look at the situation on the street, but it's really difficult for her to find out the news about the eldest prince.

Hou Zhong was not too disappointed. He didn't know whether Duan Wanming had hidden Zhao Xuan after the assassination. If he wanted to assassinate again, the first thing he had to do was to determine Zhao Xuan's specific location.

However, it seems that there is no way to figure out Zhao Xuan's specific location for the time being.

"Have you heard any news from the imperial capital?" Hou Zhong asked.

At this time, Hou Zhong, in addition to being concerned about the news of Duan Wanming and Zhao Xuan, was also very concerned about the news of Yanyang City. It was the imperial capital and the power center of the entire Yanfeng Kingdom. He couldn't help but pay attention to it, especially when he left, the situation there was very complicated, so he paid more attention to it.

However, the woman shook her head again and said, "I don't know."

This time, Hou Zhong couldn't help but curse, "Waste!"

The woman didn't dare to talk back, so she had to accept Hou Zhong's insults.

In fact, Hou Zhong really made things difficult for the woman. She was just an ordinary person. Now that Nanlin City was closed by Duan Wanming, people outside couldn't get in, and people inside couldn't get out. It was naturally extremely difficult for the news from the imperial capital to reach here. Those powerful people, such as Duan Wanming, had their own news channels and could still get the news from the imperial capital, but for ordinary people, they were now isolated from the world, and it was too difficult to get the news from the imperial capital.

"Go boil medicine and cook." Hou Zhong ordered.

Now it seems that this couple can't do much other than helping him boil medicine and cook. Hou Zhong has lost hope in them. Everything depends on him. He can only wait for his injury to recover and go to find out the news in person.

"Yes."

The woman responded and hurried to boil medicine and cook. She knew very well that Hou Zhong was not a good person. Therefore, every time she met Hou Zhong, she was nervous and scared, and she wanted to stay away from Hou Zhong's sight.

Hou Zhong leaned against the wall, thinking about the imperial capital.

When he left the imperial capital, the situation was not good for them, but not bad. He just didn't know what it was like now.

"Yuanji and Hou Yi are both bad people. They should have taken control of the situation." Hou Zhong said to himself: "The escape of the eldest prince is a rare opportunity for the second prince. It means that he has one less competitor, and the possibility of ascending the throne to become emperor has increased."

Hou Zhong has placed his future and even his life on the second prince Zhao Ke. If the second prince can ascend the throne, he can keep his current wealth and glory, and may even go further. If Zhao Ke cannot ascend the throne to become emperor, he will inevitably be liquidated by the new emperor. At that time, let alone keep his current status, it is hard to say whether he can save his life.

Therefore, although Hou Zhong is in Nanlin City, his heart is in Yanyang City. Moreover, even if it is dangerous, he will assassinate the eldest prince Zhao Xuan again, not only to help the second prince eliminate a competitor, but more importantly, he also wants to increase his weight in the heart of the second prince Zhao Ke, so that he can get more benefits when he is rewarded in the future.
