When Prince Fu's Mansion in Beijing learned that the assassination had failed, Zhu Zhiang was very angry. After scolding his staff, he was worried about what Ye Chengkui would find out, so he immediately went to Prince Yun's Mansion.
Zhu Zhichun had just become angry because his assassination of Hua Rujin failed. When he learned that Prince Fu had come to the house, he quickly gathered his emotions and went to the living room to meet him.
As soon as the two met, Prince Fu Zhu Zhi'ang said sarcastically: "Brother Yun Wang is really clever. He actually wants to get rid of the Hua family member with the help of Princess Zheng Ning."
King Yun Zhu Zhichun could tell that he was mocking him, and he replied meaningfully: "I heard that the number one scholar was also assassinated this time. I guess it is inseparable from King Fu's strategizing, right?"
"Don't say this nonsense."
King Fu Zhu Zhiang smiled calmly and said: "I have always respected the Number One Scholar and cherished his talents. How could I harm him? Besides, I also heard that he was tracking down the whereabouts of an old friend for Brother Wang.
, he is so important to Brother Wang, if I harm him, I will make Brother Wang hate me even more."
Zhu Zhichun's face darkened.
He became angry when he mentioned this matter. Although he was extremely afraid that Ye Chengguan would find Qian Yingying's whereabouts first, he was Lu Ming's favorite son after all, and he did not dare to attack him openly.
Regardless of whether they were hurting each other, he responded without any sign of weakness: "Our champion scholar does have some abilities. I really have to rely on him, and the Miss Hua under him is also extremely smart. This
This time the two of them thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Zhuo family, and sooner or later they will be able to find out some clues, that is, Princess Zhengning openly attacked that girl, and when Governor Luo returns to Beijing, this matter may not end well."
Looking at Zhu Zhiang thoughtfully, Zhu Zhichun said with a smile: "Prince Fu has worried a lot about the governor and the princess these years. I wonder how Prince Fu is going to enlighten them this time?"
Seeing his proud face, Zhu Zhiang kept cursing in his heart: "This stupid woman."
Xue Wanning teamed up with her to assassinate Ye Chengwei. Although she failed, she did not arouse any suspicion. Zhu Zhengning, a stupid woman, not only did not expose Prince Yun, but also included her own people.
There is simply no one more stupid than her in the world.
At this point, he didn't want to have any more verbal arguments with Prince Yun, so he said bluntly: "Brother Wang, even if the governor returns to the capital to complain about the princess, it will only be a scolding at most, but if you let him
Ye Chengguan has found the whereabouts of Qian Yingying, how do you think he will deal with it according to my father's temper?"
These words made Zhu Zhichun feel even more anxious, but he still suppressed the fear in his heart and replied as if nothing had happened: "That woman was a death row prisoner. I don't know who was so bold as to save her. If Ye
If Cheng Kuan was able to arrest this person, he would be doing meritorious service for the imperial court. On the contrary, my father is now asking Ye Cheng Kuan to thoroughly investigate the Huguang Salt and Iron affairs, so that makes me worry about Prince Fu, haha."
"It seems that Brother Yun Wang is really going to die together with his younger brother?"
King Fu Zhu Zhiang glared.
Zhu Zhichun's eyes were dark and he smiled evilly and said: "We are our compatriots, so Brother Yu naturally wants to live in harmony with Prince Fu."
"In that case, I have a way."
Zhu Zhiang also showed a sinister smile: "Why don't we join forces to get rid of these two people first? After all, how can we let outsiders get involved in the affairs between us brothers?"
These words hit Zhu Zhichun's heart directly, and he asked repeatedly: "What good advice does King Fu have?"
King Fu smiled and said nothing, but used tea to write four big characters on his desk: "Northwestern Army".
The two looked at each other and smiled at the writing on the table, and then said goodbye happily.
As the severe winter passes, it is March and the weather in the northwest border has finally warmed up.
Reinforcements rushing to aid the Northland also gradually gathered from various places and secretly rushed outside Yanmen Pass.
As soon as Yan Huaqing joined the army, he was appreciated by the commander-in-chief of the capital and promoted to a staff general in the army.
Thinking of Hua Rujin's instructions before leaving, he left Shu Jinxuan by his side and became a medical officer in charge.
Seeing that they would be able to rush to the front line tomorrow, they all commanded the entire army to stay on the spot and rest for the night, preparing to recuperate before going straight to the enemy's lair in Mobei.
At night, Yan Huaqing walked out of the camp and saw Shu Jinxuan sitting by a bonfire, lost in thought with an old hairpin in his hand. He couldn't help but stepped forward and joked: "Second Master Shu, why do you, a grown man, play with women?"
object?"
He took a closer look and saw that the hairpin looked very familiar. He immediately thought of the original owner of the hairpin and couldn't help but sigh: "But are you thinking about your charming cousin again?"
"She is not delicate."
Shu Jinxuan quickly put away the hairpin and glanced at Yan Huaqing angrily: "Master General Shen has misunderstood her deeply."
"That's it."
Yan Huaqing smiled and said, "Don't tell me, I always don't talk to this girl when we are together, but after being away for several months, I really miss her."
"Don't even think about it."
Shu Jinxuan sneered coldly: "You can't get into her eyes."
"Really?"
Yan Huaqing looked bitter: "Then let's talk to each other."
The two of them were bickering happily when they suddenly saw fires all around, the sound of low horns kept coming, and the roaring noises from the surrounding camps immediately filled the night sky.
Yan Huaqing quickly stood up and asked the running sergeant: "What happened?"
"The enemy is invading. Command everyone to prepare to respond."
As soon as the sergeant finished speaking, he saw rockets all over the sky coming from the dark night, which caught people off guard.
For a time, the whole field was wailing, and all the camps were suddenly plunged into a vast sea of fire.
Yan Huaqing hurriedly protected Shu Jinxuan and rushed to the commander's camp.
"What's going on? Our army's route is not a top secret. Why did the enemy suddenly appear in Yanmen Pass?"
Shu Jinxuan had never encountered such an unexpected situation before, and was overwhelmed with anxiety.
Yan Huaqing was also very puzzled. While protecting him from the rain of arrows, he looked at the surrounding situation. Listening to the shouts of killing all over the place, he immediately had a bad premonition: "We are afraid that we are surrounded."
When they arrived at the camp, the commander was leading the sergeants to rush out. When he saw Yan Huaqing, he did not bother to explain carefully and hurriedly ordered: "Master Yan, you should escape immediately with this general's order and find a way to report the situation to the general.
Send it back to Beijing."
Yan Huaqing saw that the commander was going to fight the enemy to the death, and urged him urgently: "General, how can I abandon you at this time? I will accompany you to kill the general."
"That's too late."
The commander of the capital replied: "We were ambushed, and we just came to report on our horses. The food and grass supplies in the rear were destroyed. One hundred thousand Tatar cavalry suddenly appeared in the rear of our army. If we don't try our best to hold back the enemy, I'm afraid the soldiers in front will also
Then he fell into a tight siege.”
"Our army's march route is so secretive. How did the enemy know our army's movements and directly outflank our rear in such a short time?"
Yan Huaqing frowned.
"It's too late to find out."
The commander ordered: "Master Yan, the military situation is urgent. We must try to convey the general's information to the center of Beijing and the front line so that the imperial court can take precautions."
Yan Huaqing knew the stakes. If the entire army was wiped out, not only the frontline soldiers would be trapped in a tight siege, but even the important border town of Daye Chao would fall.
He immediately took the military order and vowed: "General, please rest assured, I will fight to the death to complete the mission."
