General, the lady escaped again

Chapter 1361 Who Made the Move (1)

"Underground?" Fang Chen looked at Ji Xiaomu, who chuckled. "I'm just guessing, not sure."

"You said there are no traces around this area, so apart from using tools from the surrounding area, another possibility is that someone tampered with the ground."

Ji Xiaowu pointed at the map. "The place where they ambush the second prince is surrounded by mountains and forests. They want to ambush here because they can hide their figures here."

"And here, the ground is flat, with traces of people walking on it. After the Second Prince was ambushed, people suddenly appeared from the other side, and there were no traces on the ground. Either they had been hiding there like the Prime Minister's men for a long time."

"Since they have been waiting there for a long time, they must have somewhere to hide. So I think they may have dug a tunnel or cave nearby in advance."

Ji Xiaomu’s words opened Fang Chen’s mind and his eyes lit up.

"Auntie, you are really something. How could you think of that?"

Fang Chen hugged Ji Xiaomu and kissed her face hard.

Ji Xiaowu chuckled and pushed Fang Chen. "Okay, go to sleep. I'm so sleepy."

"Go to sleep!" Fang Chen was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

He held Ji Xiaou in his arms, let her lean on him, and gently coaxed his wife to sleep.

"...It is also possible that it was done by those families in the main city." Ji Xiaou yawned lazily, leaned in Fang Chen's arms, her nose filled with his scent, she closed her eyes comfortably, and fell asleep.

Fang Chen fell into deep thought after listening to Ji Xiaomu's speculation. While protecting his wife and making her sleep comfortably, he kept thinking about the possibility of what Ji Xiaomu said in his mind.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Ji Xiaomu's guess might be right.

The second prince could not be rescued in time in the main city unless someone had known that the second prince would attack the main city. Alternatively, it was possible that they knew the prime minister's current situation and were able to use pre-arranged personnel to rescue the second prince when he was ambushed.

Every large family will have a few capable people, and these people are often people from the underworld.

Normally they just serve as guards, and a family may only have about ten people at most.

Such a huge number is most likely the result of those families joining forces.

After figuring out the problem, Fang Chen hugged his wife and fell asleep peacefully.

Early next morning

Fang Chen called everyone over and told them about Ji Xiaomu's speculation last night.

"I think my sister-in-law's guess is the most likely."

"I also think that one family may have ten people, and ten families may have a hundred people!"

"If this is true, then the current situation in the main city may be even more serious than we imagined..."

Yang Hua and others felt that Ji Xiaomu's guess was consistent with their own and was also very explainable.

"My father has lost the support of the people." Chen Zihao said firmly.

"Even if you are a grasshopper on a boat, there will come a time when you want to quit." Fang Chen said slowly.

"The Prime Minister has lost the support of the people, so why should they save the Second Prince?" Bai Yichen looked at Chen Zihao.

Only Chen Zihao knows Chen Youcai best here.

"Being suspicious can sometimes be a stumbling block." Chen Zihao smiled. "He likes to control everything, but there are some things that he can't control just because he wants to."

"The reason why people are human beings is that they have independent thinking and cannot be controlled." Chen Zihao said slowly.
