Chapter 408

The two soldiers worked together to turn the corpse on the ground over. The corpse was covered in blood, mixed with filthy river water and mud.

"This guy must have done a lot of bad things before he died so tragically."

Guo Honglu leaned down and wiped the mixture of mud and blood from the corpse's face with his hands.

Suddenly, his face stiffened!

It's like seeing a monster, stupid, motionless, eyes and expressions full of horror and weirdness!

The soldier asked curiously, "General Guo, what's wrong with you? Do you know the deceased?"

Guo Honglu hesitantly said: "He... he is the crown prince Xing An!"

He had seen Xing An before and participated in Xing An's big wedding, so he recognized Xing An's identity at a glance. When the two soldiers next to him heard that the corpse was dragged up from the river, it turned out to be Prince Xing's dark face, and their faces turned green with fright. They knew that they were definitely dead, and maybe some people thought they killed the crown prince.

Guo Honglu took a deep breath and took a deep breath.

The soldier said: "General Guo, we have already checked, and he is dead."

Guo Honglu must personally confirm that, after checking his breath and pulse, he was sure that Xing An was dead, so he could feel at ease. Or despair! Xing An is actually dead? And also let him discover the corpse by accident? He regrets it now, why did he follow these two soldiers to check the body?

"General Guo, what should I do with the prince's body? Otherwise, should we throw it into the river?"

"You are courting death! If people find out, all three of us will be dead!"

"However, if it is known that we found the prince's body, we will also be dead! Surely everyone will suspect that we killed the prince!"

"Don't be noisy! Let me think about it!"

Guo Honglu thought carefully. This thing is indeed a very tricky thing! If the prince didn't die, it would be easier to deal with. But the prince is dead, and this matter becomes very embarrassing! The prince suffered such serious injuries and died so miserably. Whoever found the prince's body would be suspected of being the murderer. Even if it's not suspected, it's not going to end well. If the imperial court wants to keep secrets, they will definitely use a few of them to start the operation! This kind of thing has been in the officialdom for a long time, and it is not surprising.

The two soldiers were also anxious, sweating profusely.

Guo Honglu said: "You can search carefully to see if there is anything on the prince's body that can prove his identity, or can find some clues about the cause of his death. If we can find some clues, maybe we can be guilty and make merit."

"well!"

The two soldiers quickly began to search Xing An's body up and down.

"Let me do it!"

Guo Honglu saw that these two people were in a hurry, so he simply joined the search camp himself. He touched Xing An's waist, then reached into his arms again, and suddenly, his hand locked back like an electric shock!

"He...he's still alive!"

Guo Honglu's eyes were bigger than copper bells!

"General Guo, what are you talking about? The crown prince is already dead. You see, he was so injured, how could he not die? Even if the injury did not kill him, he choked after soaking in the turbid river for a long time. Enough to drown!"

"No! The prince is really alive! I can feel his heartbeat! Stay out of the way!"

"General Guo, it must be your illusion!"

"It's not an illusion! Get out of the way!"

Guo Honglu didn't believe that he had an illusion. He carefully pressed his hand on Xing An's chest. Immediately, he could clearly feel Xing An's faint heartbeat that went up and down. He didn't notice it, but he found it anyway! Xing An really still has a heartbeat!

"Prince isn't dead yet? But he's dead!"

Soldiers can't believe it!

"As long as there is still a heartbeat, he won't die! Quick! Quick! Help him get up! Let's take him..." Guo Honglu also hesitated. The prince was dying, where should he take him? to the palace? Or go to the yamen? Or go to a witch doctor to treat him?

"General Guo, where are we going?" The two soldiers had already carried Xing An.

"Go to Xingyuelou!"

Guo Honglu suddenly made a bold decision!

"Bang Bang Bang!"

There was a hurried knock on the door, and the shopkeeper Li Changsheng of the restaurant woke up!

"Who knocked on the door in the middle of the night? Are you looking for death? You have to go through the back door! Let no one sleep?" Li Changsheng lived in the backyard, so the knock on the door woke him first.

"Manager Li, open the door! It's me!"

"Who are you?"

"Guo Honglu!"

"What are you doing here so late? No, it's so early, it's getting bright soon! If you have something to do, come back at dawn!" Li Changsheng recognized Guo Honglu's voice. . At this time, Guo Honglu brought people to smash the door desperately. There must be something in a hurry, maybe something bad. He didn't dare knock on the door at will. After operating the restaurant for so many years, he still has such a little vigilance.

"Open the door! I'm here to find Ye-girl! It's very, very urgent!" Guo Honglu's voice was very urgent!

"You wait! I'll open the door right now!"

When Li Changsheng heard that he was looking for Lady Ye, he immediately opened the door without hesitation. He knew that Guo Honglu would never dare to hit Xuanyue's idea no matter what.

"Quick! Go and invite the night girl!"

As soon as the door opened, Guo Honglu let two soldiers carry Xing An in!

Li Changsheng followed behind and said, "What are you doing? Who are you carrying in the middle of the night? He is covered in blood, shouldn't he be dead?"

Guo Honglu's expression was very chilling and hideous. He grabbed Li Changsheng's collar and said angrily: "Quick! Call Miss Ye immediately! Also, don't disturb anyone about this! By the way, where's your wife?"

Li Changsheng said, "I took my child back to the countryside to visit relatives."

Guo Honglu said, "So you're the only one in the room?"

Li Changsheng said: "Yes! I am alone!"

Guo Honglu said, "You two, bring people to Shopkeeper Li's room!"

Li Changsheng said in confusion, "Guo Honglu, what exactly do you want to do?"

Guo Honglu roared in a low voice: "His Royal Highness is the one who was injured, you hurry up and find Lady Ye, if you delay the time and go wrong, you can't afford it!"

"what!"

Li Changsheng exclaimed, and immediately went straight to Tan Yun Pavilion.

Xuanyue almost raised Qinggong to the highest speed and rushed to Li Changsheng's room. When he was still at the door, he saw the bloody star-darkness lying on the bed, and the tears fell down.

"Night girl."

Guo Honglu saw Xuanyue appear at the door, but stood with tears in his eyes and refused to come in. He quickly got up and said hello: "Miss Ye, the prince is not dead yet. He has no breath, but still has a weak heartbeat. I know You are good at medicine, so I brought the prince to find you!"

When he arrived, he added: "Only I know about this matter, and no one else knows it. I will tell the two subordinates who came with me not to talk nonsense everywhere. Lady Ye can rest assured that there is absolutely no such thing as this. Anyone will know."

Guo Honglu knew that many people outside were looking for Xing An. If Xing An's whereabouts were leaked, he would be in constant trouble.
