Hong Yuetian couldn't believe what Xiao Ting said. No matter how courageous Xiao Xiang was, she would never be so bold as to openly kill Brother Wang. This was not a question of whether she should inherit the throne or not, it was simply a rebellion.
Seeing Hong Yuetian frowning and not speaking, Xiao Ting became anxious. His usual calmness had long since disappeared, and he shouted: "Uncle Hong, you can't just ignore death, think of a way quickly.
!”
Hong Yuetian pondered for a moment, turned his head and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Following his words, a guard came in from outside, stepped in to salute, and said, "What are your orders, Lord Marquis?"
"Immediately send someone to send a message to the twelve princes, saying that the fifth princess is openly plotting to murder the eldest prince, and please all princes to come to my place to discuss matters."
"Yes!" the guard responded with cupped hands, then turned around and left quickly.
Seeing the guards taking the order and leaving, Xiao Ting sighed and said through gritted teeth: "Uncle Hong, after you wait until the thirteen princes have strong soldiers and horses and unite together, I want to see what else this girl Xiao Xiang can do.
, this time, I will definitely ruin her reputation and make her life worse than death!"
Hong Yuetian was not as optimistic as him. Xiao Xiang had the support of generals such as Zhang Situ, Yang Zhao, Lu You, and Buying. There were as many as six legions directly under these generals near the capital, even among the thirteen princes.
With all the troops added together, it will not be easy to defeat them. However, we currently have a big advantage. Xiao Xiang plotted to kill Brother Wang with great fanfare. This is a treason. Our side at least has the upper hand morally. Even if Xiao Xiang
It is difficult to control Zhaoyang and the imperial court for a long time. We can only mobilize the entire country's troops to attack it.
He suddenly remembered something and asked urgently: "Eldest Young Master, where is the Second Young Master?"
Xiao Ting blinked and said nonchalantly: "I managed to escape with great difficulty. How can I still have the energy to take care of him? He must still be in the city!"
Hong Yuetian stamped his feet repeatedly. Many people among the thirteen princes supported Xiao Yuan. Now that Xiao Ting ran out, he threw Xiao Yuan in the city. I am afraid that our side may not be able to defeat all the thirteen princes so easily.
United in one place.
But now, it is impossible to rescue Xiao Yuan, and there is no point in blaming Xiao Ting. Hong Yuetian smiled bitterly and said: "Although the eldest son is resting in the camp, I think that no matter how courageous Xiao Xiang is, he still can't."
It’s so big that they raised troops to attack our Hong family army!”
Xiao Ting breathed a sigh of relief, cupped his hands and said, "My nephew can only rely on Uncle Hong!"
"Oh, sir, you're so polite!" Hong Yuetian hurriedly bowed back.
Hong Yuetian thought that with the help of the eldest son and his own prestige, he could summon all the other twelve princes, at least most of them, but the result was completely beyond his expectation.
The soldiers who went to deliver messages to the various princes returned one after another, and the news they brought back was consistent. All the princes decided to go to the Hongjiajun garrison to discuss matters. In addition, people also brought back an even more terrifying news. The Central Army was the first, third, and fourth.
A total of nine legions, the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, tenth and twelfth, are all heading towards the Hong Jiajun station. Now, the fastest first legion is less than three miles away from the Hong Jiajun station.
Stopped and got ready to attack.
Hearing the soldiers' reports, Xiao Ting and Hong Yuetian were dumbfounded. After being stunned for a while, Hong Yuetian came back to his senses and shouted loudly: "The fifth, seventh, and eighth corps are all left to their own command.
Really? Could it be that... Ren Fang also defected to Xiao Xiang? "
Xiao Ting suddenly screamed in realization and said hastily: "I know, no wonder Xiao Xiang dared to attack me. It turned out that she was the one who kidnapped Ren Fang's family! She must have used Ren Fang's family as a threat to coerce Ren Fang
Work for her, what a despicable and vicious woman!"
"Young Master..." A soldier who reported the news swallowed his saliva and looked like he was hesitating to speak. Hong Yuetian shouted angrily: "Stop hesitating and say what you have to say!"
"Yes... yes! The family members of General Ren... have been found. They were... found in the palace. The person who kidnapped General Ren's family... turned out to be Jin Liren..."
Hearing this, Xiao Ting's eyes widened like bells, grabbed the soldier by the collar, and shouted sternly: "You say that again?"
"It's... the family members of General Ren who were kidnapped by Jin Liren. Jin Liren has committed suicide out of fear of crime, and before he committed suicide, he admitted that he did this... on the order of... the eldest son..." He did not say the following words.
Go down, because Xiao Ting's handsome face has become more ferocious than a ghost, and his facial features are all twisted into a ball.
"Fart!" Xiao Ting suddenly yelled and pushed the soldier away. The latter couldn't stand enough and sat down on the ground. Before he could stand up, Xiao Ting rushed towards him like crazy.
He came up and kicked, kicking and shouting like crazy: "When did I ask Jin Liren to kidnap Ren Fang's family members? He is slanderous! He is absolutely slanderous!"
The soldier was kicked by Xiao Ting until he rolled around on the ground with his head in his arms and screamed: "Sir, spare your life, this is not what a villain said, it is spread outside, please spare your life..."
"Is this what everyone is saying?" Xiao Ting suddenly stopped, and then let out a strange cry as if someone stepped on his tail. He pulled out his sword and roared: "I want yours first."
Life!" As he spoke, he raised his sword and struck.
Hong Yuetian stepped forward, stopped him, and said urgently: "Master, please calm down and let him finish his words first!"
"Uncle Hong...I...I have never asked Jin Liren to kidnap any family member of Renfang..."
"I know, I know. Young Master, please calm down first!" Hong Yuetian tried to persuade the angry Xiao Ting, but turned back to the soldier who fell on the ground with blood on his face and shouted: "What the hell is going on?
, please explain it clearly to me as soon as possible!"
The soldier got up from the ground tremblingly, knelt in front of Hong Yuetian, and recounted the rumors he had heard in detail. Finally, he stammered: "All the princes have thought that it is
The eldest son had the family of General Ren kidnapped. Now it has been revealed that the eldest son...is absconding out of fear of crime, so...no one dares to come...to help our army. The princes all say that if...if we stand now...
The eldest son’s side seems to be...rebellious!"
Buzz! Hong Yuetian's head buzzed, his vision turned black, his body shook involuntarily, and he almost fainted on the spot.
Xiao Ting's face turned pale instantly, and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground. Then, he rushed to Hong Yuetian, grabbed his arm tightly, and said sharply: "Uncle Hong, I...
I really have never asked anyone to kidnap a family member of Renfang. This... this is a trick. This must be a trick set by Xiao Xiang. Uncle Hong, you have to help me. You have to help me no matter what this time.
If you don't even help me, then... I'm hopeless, and no one can help me!"
At this time, Xiao Ting was in a state of confusion, speaking incoherently, his face was frighteningly pale, and large beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead and cheeks.
Hong Yuetian looked at Xiao Ting and didn't know what to say.
Xiao Ting is not a fool. On the contrary, he is smarter than most people in the world and has a city. He will never do such a stupid thing as letting Jin Liren kidnap the family members and hide the hostages in the palace. How can this happen?
Possible?
Hong Yuetian comforted him and said, "Don't panic, eldest son. As long as I am here, no one can touch eldest son!"
As soon as he finished speaking, another soldier hurried in to report: "Report! Report to the general. The fifth princess led nine legions to gather around our army. Now the fifth princess has arrived in front of our military camp and wants to see the general!"
When Xiao Ting heard this, his body trembled. He held Hong Yuetian tighter and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Hong..."
Hong Yuetian pondered for a moment and said: "It's good to go and see Xiao Xiang. I want to see what she wants. Young Master, you can just wait in the camp with peace of mind!"
"No, Uncle Hong, I...I want to go with you!"
"This..." Hong Yuetian thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, after meeting Xiao Xiang, the eldest son must not be impatient. He should comfort him with kind words, even if it is a temporary show of weakness, and get over the current situation first.
Let’s talk about the crisis!”
"I understand, I understand!" Xiao Ting took deep breaths continuously to calm down as much as possible and calm down his emotions.
Xiao Ting and Hong Yuetian walked out of the Hong family's camp with thousands of personal guards. When they arrived outside the camp, they looked to the opposite side and saw flags fluttering in front, soldiers in armor like a forest, and the dark side of the square array lined up neatly.
, overwhelming and spreading endlessly.
What a huge formation! Xiao Ting and Hong Yuetian frowned in unison.
One mile away from the Hong Jiajun camp, there is a troop of nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, all cavalry. The knights above and the horses below are all wearing armor made of fine steel. This is the most brave Sichuan cavalry.
A skilled armored cavalryman.
The armored cavalry is neither a light cavalry nor a heavy cavalry. It is somewhere in between. It has the characteristics of fast speed, fierce attack, and strong defense. It is a powerful weapon for breaking through enemy formations frontally. However, the armor of the steel armored cavalry is more difficult.
The number of armored cavalry in the Sichuan Army is not large, and most of them are deployed in the 1st to 5th Corps of the Central Army of Sichuan.
In front of the queue of armored cavalry, there was a magnificent carriage parked. The carriage was tall and spacious, and was pulled by eight horses. It was Xiao Xiang's ride.
Xiao Ting and Hong Yuetian looked at each other, the latter nodded slightly, and the former understood. They walked side by side and headed straight for Xiao Xiang's carriage.
When the distance between the two sides was less than thirty steps, Xiao Ting and Hong Yuetian reined in their horses, raised their heads and looked at the opposite side. Is it Xiao Xiang or who is sitting in the carriage? On the left and right sides of the carriage, there is Zhang Situ, Ren
Fang, Buying and other generals from Qianchuan Kingdom.
Although Xiao Ting is a young master, he has never been on a real battlefield in his life. Compared with him, Hong Yuetian next to him seems much calmer. Hong Yuetian, who has fought in battles all his life, has seen too many such formations.
Hong Yuetian's face was calm, and he cupped his hands towards Xiao Xiang who was in the carriage opposite. He laughed loudly at first, and then asked: "Your Highness, the Princess, came to my Hong Family Army station with such great force, I wonder, what do you do with Your Highness the Princess?"
