Zhang Yun rode a fast horse and soon arrived at the northern Hebei army.
As soon as he arrived with his front legs, Fengling, who was on the back legs, led someone to catch up with him.
Fengling looked at the black mass of 200,000 soldiers and horses in front of him. Naturally, he could not break into the barracks of 200,000 soldiers and horses to capture or kill the people. He gritted his teeth and led the people back to the other courtyard with hatred.
Seeing Fengling come back so quickly and with a very ugly expression on his face, Ziye grabbed him and said, "No one found?"
"Found it." Feng Ling said with a dark face.
Midnight looked at him, "Didn't you catch him?"
Fengling nodded.
Zhou Gu heard Fengling's voice, opened the door, looked at him, "Come in and talk."
Fengling entered the room and said to the two of them: "Sister, brother-in-law, I was a little late when I found the person. Zhang Yun led the person into the military camp of the Northern Hebei Army."
Su Rong understood that it would be difficult to kill someone after entering the military camp of the Northern Hebei Army.
She took a look at the sky and said, "Half a day after the Northern Hebei Army arrived at Nanping City, Zhang Yun got the news and entered the military camp. It can be seen that his original hiding place is not far from Nanping City."
Feng Ling nodded, "Hidden in Deyin Temple. The incense in Deyin Temple was very prosperous, which just covered up the scent of sandalwood on his body. When I was looking for him, I went in circles and couldn't find him right away."
"I don't blame you." Su Rong looked at Zhou Gu, "How many days do you think Zhang Yun's entry into the Jibei military camp can delay the siege delayed by Zhang Mao?"
"I'm afraid it won't last even one day." Zhou Gu didn't look too good, "Zhang Yun is different from Zhang Mao. He is really ruthless."
Su Rong took a breath, "What should we do?"
"The most urgent task now is that I can only lead people to visit the barracks at night and kill Zhang Yun." Zhou Gu pondered, "As long as I kill Zhang Yun, I can survive for a few more days. If I can't kill Zhang Yun, Nanping City can survive for one day at most.
.”
Su Rong looked at Zhou Gu after hearing this.
Zhou Gu also looked at her, "Fengling will stay here to protect you. I will take Ziye and the secret guards with me."
Su Rong said nothing.
Zhou Gu smiled at her, "What? You think I'm not good at it?"
Su Rong wanted to say, "In a barracks with 200,000 soldiers and horses, you can investigate as you please, and kill Zhang Yun as you please? Do you really think that you are fighting with iron?" But when she met his eyes, she didn't say that.
He swallowed the words on his lips and said, "Let Fengling go too. It's very safe here. If you can kill, kill. If you can't, then retreat quickly and come back safely."
Zhou Gu agreed happily, "Okay."
He was very happy that Su Rong didn't say a lot of words to dissuade him, because Su Rong also understood that this was the only way now. After all, they had no soldiers, and they had no choice but to assassinate one of them.
, and Su Rong is the princess of Nan Chu and the future king of Nan Chu. Even if he takes risks, he cannot tolerate the love between her mother-in-law, mother and children.
Those who achieve great things should not be timid because of the long love between their children.
He reached out to hug Su Rong's delicate body, rubbed her neck, and said with a smile: "Wait until I come back."
Su Rong nodded, unable to hug him back, so she could only stretch out an arm and pat him, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Leaving some secret guards for Su Rong, Zhou Gu took Ziye and Fengling out of this villa.
In the army in northern Hebei, Zhang Cheng saw Zhang Yun and was surprised, "Yun'er? Why are you here?"
Zhang Yundao: "Second uncle, why don't you attack the city?"
Zhang Cheng was in trouble over this matter, "I was discussing with your fifth brother. Your eldest brother was captured. Ning Chi tied him to the city wall and said that if we dare to attack the city, he will kill your eldest brother."
Zhang Yundao: "So, the second uncle is threatened?"
Zhang Cheng sighed, "So what if I'm not threatened? Do you really care about your eldest brother's life? If so, how will I explain to your father when I go back?"
Zhang Yun looked at him and said, "Second uncle, what does my father care about most? I think you should know that my father has been planning hard for more than ten years. I think my eldest brother is also willing to shed blood and sacrifice for his father's great cause. After all, since ancient times, there has been no dynasty that has not conquered the world.
Menstrual blood and bones, our Zhang family has to follow this path, and this is just the beginning for me, eldest brother."
Zhang Cheng fell silent upon hearing this.
Zhang Yun said: "Second uncle, there are only 30,000 troops in Nanping City now. We must not miss the opportunity before it comes. If we delay it any longer, there is no airtight wall. Once reinforcements from the imperial court arrive, we will no longer have the upper hand."
Damn it. Ruining my father’s great cause is not only a matter of my eldest brother’s life, but also the lives of countless people in our Zhang family, young and old.”
Zhang Cheng struggled, "But Mao'er is different after all."
"Isn't the difference between the eldest brother and the elder brother just due to the fact that he has both direct and long-term inheritance? But now that the eldest brother is gone, there is still a seventh younger brother who is also a direct descendant." Zhang Yun said: "Second uncle, do you think it is the great cause that is important to the father? Or is it just a mere matter of fact?
Is a son important?"
Zhang Cheng naturally knew that for Zhang Ping, the great cause was more important, but he couldn't help but think that if he really ignored Zhang Mao's life today, then if he got into trouble for his elder brother in the future, would he follow Zhang Mao's footsteps and change his life?
Are you being treated regardless of your life today?
He couldn't help but shuddered, "Let me think about it."
"Second uncle, you can think that it is your eldest brother's life after all, but my nephew feels that it is not advisable to delay for too long. We must take action tomorrow morning at the latest. If reinforcements are brought in and they are completely defeated, second uncle, this blame is not yours.
I can afford it.”
Zhang Cheng nodded, "We have been marching through barren mountains and ridges for several days, and the soldiers are also exhausted. Although we have a large number of people, we cannot sacrifice too many soldiers. Let's let the soldiers rest today for the night at the latest.
Tomorrow morning, if we can no longer think of a way to save your brother, we will attack the city."
Zhang Yun nodded, "What my second uncle said makes sense, so let's leave it at that."
The entire Nanping City was tightly guarded by Ningchi from top to bottom, inside and out. Zhang Cheng wanted to save Zhang Yun, so naturally he had no choice but to send many people out to try to enter the city, but they were all discovered and could not get in.
Nanping City.
Zhang Yun saw that Zhang Cheng's hair was a few gray when he was in trouble, so he said to him: "Second uncle, give up!"
Zhang Cheng waved his hand feebly at him, gritted his teeth, "Let's rest first, we will attack the city early tomorrow morning."
Zhang Yun nodded and walked out of Zhang Cheng's tent with a sarcastic smile. Although his second uncle Zhang Cheng had affection for his eldest brother Zhang Mao, it was not much. He just needed someone to make a decision with him.
This matter is just a matter of shouldering some blame, and he is the one who can afford it.
Zhang Yun returned to his tent, took off his coat, and prepared to rest.
Just as he was about to lie down, he heard slight movement and wind. He was startled and immediately shouted, "Who?"
As he shouted, someone came with a sword. This man didn't even cover his face. He was wearing tight-fitting night clothes and had a sword in both hands. His face was extremely clear and his eyes were calm, but the sword in his hand was in full swing.
Killing intent.
"Zhou Gu?" Zhang Yun had never met Zhou Gu, but he knew this face. He dodged and shouted, "Here comes an assassin!"
