"Military Gate!"

On the arrow tower of the city gate, He Guangyi took the initiative to hold a ceremony with Ping An.

"Yes!" Ping An stared at the foggy city at dawn and nodded slightly.

"Aren't you going into the city?" He Guangyi asked.

Ping An didn't squint his eyes and did not directly answer He Guangyi. Instead, he said, "How many soldiers are there in the city?"

"Zhang Tai is the commander of Luzhou Road, and Hefei is the headquarters of Luzhou Road. There are five thousand soldiers!" He Guangyi said, "We are all under control! Wang Guo'an, the commander of Luzhou Road, temporarily takes command on Zhang Taixing's behalf.

Envoy!"

"Pull five thousand people to the city!" Ping An whispered, "In batches, the movement should be quiet. All the elite archers have been mobilized here and are on standby at all times!"

When he said this, He Guangyi became more and more confused, "Where is King Ning...?"

"How many people are there?" Ping An turned his head and looked at He Guangyi with scrutiny.

"Prince Ning's military camp is in the northwest corner of the city. It is said that he has 500 guards, all cavalry, and everyone has two horses. The lights in the military camp were on all night last night. Just now the spies came to report, but there was no movement!"

He Guangyi thought about it, "Junmen, that's five hundred cavalry...?"

Ping An suddenly smiled and said, "When you enter the city, you enter the urn." After saying that, he paused and said, "If I were Prince Ning, I would never enter the city with five hundred cavalry. Because once he enters, he will not be able to get out!"

He Guangyi understands!

This city where King Ning settled was his prison from the moment he entered.

The biggest threat to the cavalry is mobility. After entering the city, there are walls on all sides. Unless his horse has wings, how can he run?

The arrow tower where Ping An is located is the widest area in the entire Hefei City and the most important passage out of the city.

Even if he couldn't find the military officer, he knew that if King Ning wanted to run away, he would definitely go this way. Otherwise, the cavalry would be a living target if they entered those alleys and twisted paths.

However, He Guangyi was still a little worried, "How many people have you brought with you?" He said, "I don't want you to talk too much. Hefei is close to the capital, and the garrison has not seen blood for many years!"

"Seventy-eight people!" Ping An said calmly.

Then he glanced at He Guangyi, who looked astonished, and said, "Why, you think it's less?" He said with another smile, "That means I don't have enough qualifications. If Wu Dinghou and the others come, they won't have to bring a single soldier!"

At this point, he sighed slightly, "Actually, if you think too much, it may not lead to that!"

He Guangyi thought for a moment, "What about you now...?"

"Wait!" Ping An looked at the sky, "Wait for dawn!"

"Why?" He Guangyi couldn't help but ask again.

"If Prince Ning wants to go to the capital, he will leave at dawn. At the same time, he will also notify the guard station to replenish drinking water and dry food! If he does not go to the capital, he will not move!" With that, Ping An turned around and gave orders to the soldiers around him.

He said, "Don't worry about the spy who is riding alone. We will catch him after he leaves the city!"

~~

Waiting is boring, but time passes quickly.

At dawn, the city woke up. As usual, the city was full of vitality. Looking down from the top of the city, the streets were full of people.

He Guangyi sat next to Ping An, looking at the vibrant city at his feet and suddenly felt a little regretful.

"If, if there really is a fight, I don't know how many people in this city will die!"

"Prince Ning! The emperor wants to see your choice. It's okay for you to make mistakes, but how can so many innocent people be so innocent?"

At this time, a safe general ran over excitedly, "General, we really caught one at the small city gate in the north!"

"Bring it!" Ping An looked at He Guangyi with a cold face, "You ask, you are good at it!"

~

The tough man couldn't stand the torture, so he poured beans out of a bamboo tube in half a cup of tea.

He Guangyi's hands were trembling, and he looked at Ping An with a look of horror on his face.

King Ning is not going to the capital anymore. He wants to return to his fiefdom. He sent his trusted soldiers out of the city to investigate whether there are any soldiers on the way back.

Ping An was calm and had a smile on his face. He looked at He Guangyi and said, "You still lack courage!"

"What should we do now?" He Guangyi asked urgently, "Should we just do it?"

"I'm going... to meet him!" Ping An stood up.

"Junmen!" He Guangyi said anxiously, "Prince Ning has turned against you. Why are you going to see him?"

Ping An suddenly turned around and stared at He Guangyi, "He is the son of the Supreme Emperor after all. I don't look at him, I look at the Supreme Emperor!" After saying that, he paused and said, "The Emperor will understand my painstaking efforts!"

"What if Prince Ning goes crazy...?"

"He doesn't dare!" Ping An turned around and smiled, "I understand him!"

~~

"Wait for one more day and let's go when it gets dark!"

In the military tent, Ning Wang Zhu Quan looked at his confidants and said, "Let the brothers replenish their drinking water and dry food!"

One of the confidants asked in surprise, "Aren't you going to the capital?"

"No!" Prince Ning looked at the man, "Seventh Brother has sent a letter, the emperor wants to kill them!"

"Ah!" Everyone was suddenly startled and froze on the spot.

"My father's body is still cold, and the emperor is going to attack us, our close uncles!" Ning Wang Zhu Quan said coldly, "He not only wants our military power, but also our lives!" He said, looking at everyone, "Skin is gone. How can General Mao attach himself to me? If I go to the capital, I will die without a chance of survival, and I’m afraid you will all end up dead too!”

"Let's pretend to go forward first, to Quanjiao...it's only a step away from the capital. If there is news about the misfortune of our brothers from the capital, we will hurry back to the capital!"

"Then, send people to the fiefdoms of the sixth brother, the seventh brother, the twelfth brother, the thirteenth brother, and the nineteenth brother. Especially the sixth and seventh brothers must tell their sons that the emperor killed their father!" Prince Ning gritted his teeth again. road.

"Here!"

He knew that the emperor would not kill his own uncle, but as long as the emperor took action, the falsehood would become true.

But at this moment, although he looked calm, his heart was in turmoil.

Because he was very timid, but his unwillingness pushed him towards the abyss.

And he really hadn't thought about it, otherwise he would just turn around and go back. Who could catch up with him?

Sometimes when doing big things, the more you talk and think, the less confidence you have.

"Chitose!" Suddenly, a close soldier came over and whispered, "Someone wants to see you?"

"Huh?" Prince Ning Zhu Quan was stunned.

~~

King Ning's hands began to shake, but he still pretended to be calm and calmly looked at Ping An in front of him.

He and Ping An sat face to face, while Ping An always looked at Prince Ning with a smile on his lips.

"What are you looking at?" Zhu Quan asked coldly.

"Chitose's armor is good!" Ping An's voice was faint, "It's a bit like the armor worn by those Angry-Eye King Kong in the temple!" He said, tilting his head, "The whole armor is shining with silver, and the boots are inlaid with shiny iron plates. , are the gold-swallowing beasts on the shoulders gilded?"

Prince Ning lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"This armor weighs seventy or eighty pounds, right?" Ping An asked again with a smile.

"What on earth are you going to say?" Zhu Quan gritted his teeth.

"The bigger the breast protector, the better!" Ping An stretched out his arm and made a chopping gesture, "It's inconvenient to hold a gun on horseback!" He said, patting his shoulder again, "There is a gold-swallowing beast on the shoulder armor.

It affects the bow-drawing!"

Then, he smiled again, "You made it look like a gilded Buddha statue. Are you really not afraid of being targeted by cold arrows?"

boom!

Prince Ning Zhu Quan slammed the table, "Ping Baoer, what on earth are you going to do?"

"I want to tell you a few words!" Ping An's face remained calm, "The reason why I call you my minister is because you are the son of the Supreme Emperor and the emperor's uncle. I feel that using the title "Chen" makes you appear very close and respectful.

"

As he said that, his eyes darkened, "Do you think it's better for me to call myself a good minister, or is it better to use the term "lower official" to you?"

Ning Wang Zhu Quan’s eyes were filled with fire.

"You have liked these flashy things since you were a child!" Ping An smiled and continued calmly, "The Supreme Emperor once commented on you when he was here. You lacked that kind of desperate ruthlessness in your temper!"

"You always think too much, but when you do it, you are timid and worry about the gains and losses!" Ping An continued, "Especially when it comes to big things, it is always impossible to do big things with half-heartedness! You don't have the courage to burn the boat, and you don't have the determination to die.

, How can there be so many foolproof things in the world?”

"Are you talking to this king?" Prince Ning Zhu Quan gritted his teeth.

"I am sending Chitose to the capital on the order of the emperor!" Ping An met Zhu Quan's eyes, "Are you going to let me send you off, or do you want me to... force you to send him off?"

As he said that, he shook his head and said, "Chitose, things can still be undone now! Don't push yourself to a dead end!"

Having said this, he lowered his head and said, "You can't leave! Be obedient, you are the old man's son and I won't harm you!"

"If I go, I can't escape..."

Ping An abruptly interrupted King Ning Zhu Quan and looked into his eyes, "Let me tell you the truth! Daning is no longer your Daning. Your fiefdom and army are all controlled by Sheng Yong! You stay here

Those over there who dissatisfied were punished on the spot, while others chose to obey the emperor's orders!"
