"Someone is spreading a message next door, listen!" Meng Zhiqing said to Mu Lianlong.
Mu Lianlong had heard it a long time ago and came over curiously. He just took a look and saw that the rhythmic knocking sound next door made him feel a little familiar, as if it was a piece he had heard before.
As the song continued, I remembered that this was the little song that the concubine Xia Ziying once sang when she was in the palace.
Mu Lianlong suddenly became happy, "Yes, Wanru, she is next door, she is telling us that she is next door!" Mu Lianlong looked a little excited, grabbed Meng Zhiqing and kept talking.
"I know it's Wanru, you don't need to be so excited, let me go first!" Meng Zhiqing was held a little tight by Mu Lianlong, and he couldn't breathe at all, and almost suffocated him to death.
"What are you still doing in a daze? Reply quickly and let her know that we are all well and rest assured!" Meng Zhiqing saw Mu Lianlong dazed there for no reason, and said to him vigorously. This sentence seemed to
It was the light that woke up Mu Lianlong, and then he woke up from his daze, "Oh oh oh..." He knocked on the wall several times.
After hearing their answers, Xia Ziying's heart calmed down for the time being, and she could finally feel relieved. She continued to tap a few more times and then sat back on the bed.
The two of them were conveying information in such primitive ways, neither of them understanding what the other was saying. Only this brief sound could tell each other that they were both safe for the time being.
"Do you think Wanru can understand what I mean?" After Mu Lianlong knocked several times, he couldn't hear any response. He suddenly became a little anxious. He didn't know if Xia Ziying had understood what he meant.
Just ask the only person around you who is still alive.
Meng Zhiqing suddenly had the urge to vomit blood. He really couldn't tell that this king, who usually looked serious and aloof, actually had such a tender side.
"I definitely don't know anymore. You see, only you know. How can she guess what you mean, so don't knock, just know that she is safe and sound." Meng Zhiqing really couldn't stand it anymore, so he faced Mu Lianlong.
Said impatiently.
In Meng Guo's palace, the eunuch anxiously crawled and knelt from the outside and rushed towards the main hall. When he saw the eunuch looking very nervous, he was astonished by his ambition. He was so rude.
"Your Majesty, I have received a secret letter. Looking at the words on it, I can see that it is of great importance. That's why I am so reckless. Please forgive me." The servant said as he handed over the secret letter.
.
After Meng Huang received the secret letter, he opened it and read it again. The more he read, the more ugly his face became. For a while, it seemed as if something was holding him back.
After reading the secret letter, Emperor Meng turned pale, and then shouted to his servant: "The person who came here also sent a brocade box, right?"
"Well, yes, Your Majesty, the servant has already brought the brocade box. I will give it to you, Your Majesty." After saying this, the slave handed the brocade box in his sleeve to the eunuch on the side.
The great eunuch placed the brocade box on the table. Before Meng Huang opened the brocade box, he had already begun to shed tears. He did not want to believe everything said in the secret letter. His prince was the future heir.
How could he be kidnapped so hastily, and the other party seemed to be the Mu State, the Mu State that had already surrendered to them.
Emperor Meng slowly opened the brocade box little by little, and a bloody finger of Emperor Meng flashed across, with an emerald ring still on it. "Whose child could this child be if it was not his? He is his only son.
Only then did he have this jade ring on his body. Meng Zhiqing's mother specifically asked her to give it to him before she left. How could he forget it?
After opening the brocade box, Emperor Meng couldn't restrain his emotions immediately, and the tears in his eyes began to flow endlessly. The eunuch on the side took a secret look, and when he also saw the bloody finger,
This is obviously a provocation and a challenge.
Emperor Meng recognized that it was his son's finger. The emerald on it was so green and dazzling. It was so uncomfortable to see that his son had been kidnapped, and he could see his finger openly.
Sent over.
"Your Majesty, please express your condolences. There is no definite news yet. It is still unknown whether His Highness the Crown Prince is alive or dead. Take care of your dragon body!" The eunuch said and knelt down.
"Go down with the order, search for the whereabouts of the prince, and give me a clear answer. I really can't imagine how my prince can live now." After Emperor Meng's order was given, the eunuch immediately left and went down to deliver the order.
, I thought I was searching for news about the prince.
Suddenly, the entire palace and even the Meng Kingdom became excited. Soldiers were everywhere searching for the whereabouts of the prince. When a dark figure hiding in the corner saw this scene, a smile suddenly appeared on his sinister face.
He just used Qing Gong gently, and within a short time he had reached the depths of the forest.
"Master, the entire Meng Kingdom is in turmoil now. People are searching for the whereabouts of the prince. It's time to hand over the evidence to Emperor Meng." The man in black said to the man in green in front of him.
Mu Chenghai slowly turned around, threw a token to him, and said, "Take the whole token and do something!" After that, he handed him a headdress.
The man in black took the things and immediately ran towards the south gate of the imperial city.
Suddenly the eunuch ran in in a panic. When he saw Emperor Meng, he immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, something serious has happened!"
"What's going on, tell me quickly!" Meng Huang looked at the eunuch with an ominous premonition and said in horror.
"I have received the news and found some clues in the woods south of the city. The prince may have..." The eunuch could no longer continue speaking.
"Tell me, what is going on? Are you trying to kill me?" Emperor Meng said and became angry.
"Someone found the prince's body in the woods south of the city. The body had been burned completely by the fire, and only a few things were left. The old slave took a look and found that it was the prince's relics..." The eunuch was talking.
At that time, Emperor Meng could no longer hold on anymore and fell down on the dragon chair. Seeing this, the eunuch came up immediately and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
"Tell me, what else is going on?" Meng Huang shouted rudely.
"Also... I picked up some things on the side of the woods. Some of these things are the prince's relics, but there is also a token that seems to come from the country of Mu. Your Majesty, please take a look." The eunuch said and put all the things in his hands.
They came up and placed them one by one in front of Emperor Meng for a look.
"This is the token!" The eunuch handed a token to Emperor Meng. Emperor Meng suppressed the grief and indignation in his heart. He took a look at the token in his hand and saw the word "Mu" written on it. This token was indeed
It came from the Kingdom of Mu. When he saw this token, Emperor Meng was furious and shouted silently: "Mu Yunjing, I sincerely cooperate with you, but I didn't expect you to be so vicious.
He actually killed my only prince, and I must avenge him."
"Your Majesty, please calm down. The matter has not yet been clarified. You must not act so recklessly. The war between the two countries is so disrespectful. I hope Your Majesty will think twice!" The eunuch knelt down and said.
At this time, Emperor Meng was already extremely angry. However, he listened to the eunuch's advice and yelled: "Don't tell me any big principles here. I don't understand these principles. It's just the emperor's life."
Lost in the hands of these people, I will definitely make these people pay for the imperial son's life. I would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let one go. The country of Mu is so small, how can it be the opponent of our country of Meng? Now go and kill Sun.
Find me Sheng, go quickly!"
As soon as the eunuch heard Meng Huang's tone, he knew that he could not change his mind by himself, so he immediately went down to find Sun Sheng. After meeting Sun Sheng, he told him the cause and effect of the matter.
He persuaded Sun Sheng and said: "Marshal Sun, the emperor is very angry now. He can do these things and cannot tolerate resistance from others. I hope that after you go, you can persuade the emperor and take back your order. After all, it is two countries at war, not
What a child’s play!”
Sun Sheng nodded, "My father-in-law is really far-sighted for saying these things. Sun is ashamed, but the emperor is extremely angry now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince him!"
The eunuch was silent for a moment, "Then we'll see. I just hope that the emperor won't make a big move. The country has just started to improve. If we use weapons again, it will still be the common people who will suffer!"
"I will keep your father-in-law's teachings in mind. After I go there, I will naturally do my best to advise the emperor. Take a look first and then talk!" After that, the eunuch led Sun Sheng to the main hall.
Emperor Meng saw Sun Sheng coming, saw him and the eunuch on the side looked at each other, and understood that Sun Sheng must be advising him. Before Sun Sheng could say anything, he pointed at Sun Sheng and said: "Sun Aiqing, hurry up.
Go and assemble the troops. This time I will personally send out the troops and lead the expedition myself. No one should advise me, otherwise it will be a dead end."
Sun Sheng was stunned for a moment, but before he could speak, Emperor Meng gave him a warning. He could only nod his head, "Wei Chen, go and order all the troops, and then wait for the emperor to come."
After saying that, he walked away. Sun Sheng knew that Emperor Meng's character would never change once he made a decision. What's more, he suffered such a big blow this time and the crown prince was killed. How could it be?
There was no reason not to take revenge. Then he went to the military camp to gather troops and wait for the arrival of Emperor Meng.
