Guitai suspected whether Long Chen was in Linhu City, so the little fish man sneaked into the city to inquire about Wang Wei.
The instruction Wang Wei received from the empress was that Long Chen was not in the city. Xiao Yu'er got the news and immediately returned to Qingren County to report.
After the people left, Wang Wei sat down in the room. He couldn't figure out whether Long Chen was there or not.
The empress's words before and after were completely different, as if she was joking.
"Are you there or not?"
Wang Wei himself was confused.
Xiao Yu'er came out of Linhu City and quickly returned to Qingren County.
Entering the courtyard where Li Chengdao lives, Xiao Yuer immediately reported.
After hearing this, Li Chengdao frowned and said, "Is this Wang Wei being instigated to rebel?"
Long Chen often instigated enemies, and Wang Wei had been in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty for so long that Li Chengdao was worried that he would also be incited to rebel.
If Wang Wei becomes Long Chen's man, then the news sent back will be false.
Xiao Yu'er said: "I don't think Wang Wei looks like him. When I threatened to expose him, Wang Wei's expression changed."
There was nothing wrong with Wang Wei's expression at that time, but the problem was the message he sent back.
Li Chengdao nodded slightly and said: "The empress actually said that Long Chen was not here. It's strange..."
Coming out of the room, Li Chengdao quickly entered the palace. The ghost fetus was practicing in the room. The maid at the door did not dare to inform him, so Li Chengdao could only wait at the door.
After a long time, the ghost fetus had finished its work, and the maid dared to report it.
After entering the room, Li Chengdao knelt down and kowtowed, and said: "I sent someone to inquire, and the empress told Wang Wei that Long Chen was not in Linhu City."
Guitai's face was gloomy and he said coldly: "There is something wrong with this Wang Wei. His information cannot be trusted."
It turns out that Gui Fei also knew the news Wang Wei sent back.
Comparing before and after, Gui Ti concluded that something was wrong with Wang Wei and the information he told was unreliable.
Li Chengdao looked surprised. He didn't know how Gui Tai concluded that there was something wrong with Wang Wei.
Li Chengdao was also suspicious, but he couldn't determine what the basis was for Guite's insistence.
"The statements are so inconsistent. Even if it wasn't Wang Wei who deceived him, it was the empress who deliberately gave him false news."
"This Wang Wei was either instigated or discovered, and the empress deliberately conveyed false information through him."
After listening to Guitei's words, Li Chengdao asked: "Then...should we attack, or wait and see what happens?"
Guitai closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "Originally, it was said that Long Chen was in the city, and now it is said that Long Chen is not in the city. I think it seems that Long Chen left a few days ago and is back now."
"However, it's true or false, maybe Long Chen still hasn't returned yet."
Li Chengdao was speechless when he heard this. It was like he didn't say anything, it was all bullshit.
Of course, I dare to think so in my heart, but I dare not show it on my face.
"Assemble your troops and march to Lake City in three days for a decisive battle!"
The ghost child opened his eyes and made a decision.
Li Chengdao was a little surprised. Why did the ghost suddenly decide to send troops?
"There is not enough food and grass in the city. If we continue to delay, people will be scattered."
"Let's fight another battle while the soldiers still have strength."
Guite sighed slightly, Li Chengdao nodded and said: "The Holy Son is wise, I will make arrangements now."
After climbing out of the palace, Li Chengdao immediately ordered his troops to assemble and prepare for a decisive battle.
...
Fishing City.
An eagle landed in the city, and the soldier in charge of letters immediately delivered the letter to Master Ziyun.
After opening the letter and reading it, Master Ziyun said, "Your Majesty, let us go there."
The owner of Miaoyin took the letter and read it. His heart sank and he said, "It seems that the situation is not optimistic. Has something happened?"
The two of them were ordered to protect Zhang Qian and the others while they were practicing. If they didn't encounter problems, the empress would not let them reinforce them.
Moreover, the letter clearly stated that Zhang Qian and the others should also reinforce Linhu City.
This further illustrates the seriousness of the problem.
"Let's leave early." 81Zw.????m
Master Ziyun stood up and walked to the secret practice room, where Zhang Qian and others were practicing cross-legged in light clothes.
"Fellow generals, please come out of seclusion according to the Holy Spirit's decree."
Master Ziyun said softly.
Zhang Qian, Dugu Jiali, Wu Xiangyun, Wu Chuchu, Bai Tingting and Zhao Ying slowly opened their eyes.
"The Holy Spirit summons us?"
Zhang Qian stood up, walked to Master Ziyun, and asked with some surprise.
Master Ziyun nodded and said, "Yes, we will all go."
Dugu Jiali asked: "Is there a fierce battle?"
The owner of Miaoyin said: "We don't know, so we don't dare to talk nonsense. Please clean up quickly and leave immediately."
Everyone did not dare to delay and immediately came out of the practice room, returned to the room to wash up and change clothes.
The clipper was ready, eight people got on board, unfurled the sails, and headed east along the river.
Taking a boat is faster than riding a horse. Waiting until you reach the north of Linhu City and then riding ashore can save a lot of distance.
...
He Juntao hurried into the empress's room and reported: "Your Majesty, it's not good. We just got the news that the ghosts have gathered troops and are going to fight us!"
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi were reporting military affairs. When they heard the news, they were both shocked.
"how so?"
Di Luoxi was very surprised. The ghost fetus had never dared to move, so why was there suddenly a decisive battle?
Di Lingyi said: "Did the news leak?"
If the ghost is sure that Long Chen is not in Linhu City, he will definitely attack. This is a fighting opportunity.
The empress leaned back on the chair, frowning, thinking about what was going on?
"I clearly asked Wang Wei to tell me...could it be seen through?"
The empress murmured in a low voice that the news sent by Wang Wei said that Long Chen was not here. This was to make Gui Fei suspicious and believe that Long Chen was in the city.
Unexpectedly, the ghost fetus actually saw through it.
"Prepare the army for war!"
The empress stood up and issued an order. It was useless to think about it at this time, so she could only fight.
Long Chen hasn't come back yet, and I don't know where he is.
The empress cannot expect Long Chen to come back in time and can only make her own plans.
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi immediately went out to gather troops and prepare to fight against the ghost fetus.
For a moment, the soldiers and horses in the city became commotion, and they all knew that a decisive battle was about to take place.
Wang Wei heard in the room that the ghost fetuses were going to fight, and his heart suddenly became cold.
Is it because of my own problems?
However, it was obviously the empress who asked me to say that Long Chen was not here...
Outside the door, Wu Jian walked in and said: "Wang Shangshu, Your Majesty invites you to come over to discuss the matter of facing the enemy."
When Wang Wei saw Wu Jian, he couldn't help but ask: "General Wu, is King Wu in the city?"
Wu Jian asked: "Wang Shangshu doesn't know?"
Wang Wei shook his head and said, "I really don't know."
Wu Jian chuckled and said, "I don't know either, don't ask me."
Wang Wei looked stunned, Wu Jian was Long Chen's most trusted person, how could he not know this.
It seems that the empress has been guarding herself.
After so many years, the empress still doesn't regard her as her confidant...
Wang Wei followed Wu Jian to the meeting hall.
When they arrived at the meeting hall, the empress sat at the head, Wu Jian and a group of generals sat down one after another, as did Meng Yidao, Zhuang Ling'er, Scholar Li and others.
Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi were not present, and Wang Wei felt a little strange that the two princesses were not here at such an important time.
"Greetings to the Holy One."
Wu Jian and Wang Weixing bowed to see each other.
The empress motioned for the two of them to sit down.
After sitting down, the empress began to say: "I just got the news that the ghosts are gathering troops and will send troops the day after tomorrow."
It took more than a day to send the news, so the empress said to send troops the day after tomorrow.
