The day's attack was over, but the civil and military officials sitting in the Chaoyang Hall of the imperial palace all looked sad. They lost their appetites looking at the food on the table, and they were all thinking about how many more days like this would last.
God, wouldn't it be better to surrender directly?
Xiao Muyun was also sitting silently on the dragon chair at this time, staring at the delicacies on the table without any thought of eating. Now he had to admit that it was his fault and he should not have dismantled the three original armies.
Well, if it was still the same as when Xiao Muting just handed it back, he would have beaten those two brats who overestimated their capabilities long ago. Would it still be in such a predicament now?
His heart was ups and downs following the day's battle. Although it had calmed down now, he knew that the storm would be even worse next time. If he wanted to survive, it would be best if he could... That's right! Submission!
He immediately waved to Eunuch Yun and whispered a few words into his ear, but he received a embarrassed expression from Eunuch Yun.
"What?" he asked.
Eunuch Yun lowered his voice and replied: "If I go back to the emperor, the news cannot be spread at all now. All the news that was sent before were intercepted by the rebels outside the city."
"No, send more people and more pigeons. Can they catch one person or one bird? They can also catch ten people or ten birds. Can they really catch hundreds of people and hundreds of birds? As long as there is one messenger
It's all good if you go out." Xiao Muyun said firmly.
Eunuch Yun could no longer refute, so he could only follow orders and make arrangements. When he walked out of the Chaoyang Palace, his stooped waist straightened up, and he strode toward the harem with an air of arrogance, his hands behind his back. When he reached a corner gate, he stopped.
When he came down, two people dressed as eunuchs immediately flashed out from the darkness.
"Let all the carrier pigeons in the palace be released and inform the two highnesses that the emperor intends to ask for help from King Chen to rescue them. Let them be more vigilant and careful. After another two days of attack, they can march straight into the capital. As agreed in advance
Act as planned." He said coldly.
"Young man, please follow your orders." The two of them saluted, took a few steps back, turned around and left quickly.
Eunuch Yun smiled contemptuously, turned back to look at the Chaoyang Palace in front of him, snorted mockingly, then straightened his clothes and walked back.
At this time, in the military camp outside the city, Xiao Yanqing and Xiao Yanzhe were celebrating. In front of them were fine wines and delicacies. The two of them were toasting and drinking with smiles on their faces.
Xiao Yanzhe, who had finished his glass of wine, said with slightly smoked eyes, "Will my father be afraid this time?"
"Definitely, he thought that what he was holding in his hands was still the three powerful armies that Xiao Muting returned. He didn't even think about what those three armies had done to him, so he just bullied the unarmed people.
It is more powerful, but compared to the six armies we have now, it is really incomparable. Fortunately, my mother had the foresight and my grandfather had already made arrangements. Otherwise, our brothers would be really unjust." Xiao Yanqing held hands tightly.
The wine cup in the cup made an authentic sound of hatred.
Xiao Yanzhe raised his eyes and glanced at him, then poured the wine and took a sip and said: "Brother, please don't be angry. We have already reached the city. In a few days, we can capture the capital. Taking the imperial city is a matter of course."
Well, if you want to be angry, I am also angry because of my brother. You know, we did everything for our father as he ordered, but what did we get in the end? Why did he suddenly want to make that little brat the prince?
, I really can’t figure it out.”
"What's so strange about this!" Xiao Yanqing snorted coldly: "It's not because that brat is not a threat. Looking at us brothers, who can he trust? The eldest brother is stupid, but even so,
He was also constantly snooping on his movements, and how many people were placed around him. Fortunately, the eldest brother was really obedient, otherwise he would have died long ago. Besides, Xiao Yanhao can be considered smart, just because
He had been valued by the emperor's grandfather since he was a child. One day he was relieved. In order to cut off the power around him, he even killed his mother and concubine, and in front of him. Fortunately, he ran fast.
Otherwise, it may not end well. Finally, let’s look at our brothers. We are the real direct princes, but have we ever been valued by him? When he did bad things, he really thought of us brothers and threw them aside after using them. That’s right.
Because we have grown up."
Xiao Yanzhe sighed and shook his head: "Who did my father trust? From the day he thought about betraying his grandfather, he no longer believed in anyone. He only believed in himself. Over the years, our brothers have
But we often help him with errands, and we have offended everyone in the court, that is, my grandfather had the foresight to remind us, otherwise... I don’t know what the result will be now."
"So, he can use that method to deal with the emperor's grandfather, why can't we also let him have a taste of it? Although we don't have the medicine he used to deal with the emperor's grandfather, at least we are much more upright than him!"
Xiao Yanqing drank the wine in the cup and said.
"Yes! Brother Huang is right. After today's battle, we are afraid of the defenders in the city. If we think about two more battles, they will be defeated timidly. Even if there is another objection, as long as we expose him in public
His evil deeds, let's see who can still defend him, even if he doesn't want to pass on the throne." Xiao Yanzhe said with a proud smile.
"Brother Wang is right, so it's not advisable to drink too much today. It's not yet time. When the big thing is done, let's drink him until he's drunk." Xiao Yanqing raised his glass to him.
When Xiao Yanzhe walked out of the tent with drunken steps and returned to his own tent, his eyes were clear and a contemptuous sneer was raised at the corner of his mouth. He was not even a little drunk. He called the guards around him and said to him: "Send."
Keep an eye on him, don't let him have deep conversations with his second uncle, and report any news to me immediately."
At this time, in Xiao Yanqing's tent, he also had a gloomy look and a cold smile, and handed a written note to the trustworthy guard: "Immediately pass this news to your mother.
Watch the information leaked from King Qi'an, cut off his contact with the outside world, and prevent him from contacting his second uncle."
He had already been on guard against Xiao Yanzhe. If it weren't for the cooperation of their brothers, he would never have spoken nicely to him. However, he had already thought about it and waited until the big thing happened.
When the time came, it was time for Xiao Yanzhe to die, and he would never let him compete with him for position.
At the same time, Xiao Muting also received news that there was a team of 100,000 people blocking their way back.
He grinned disdainfully and ordered the army to stop advancing. The rear team became the front team and rushed back towards the army surrounding them.
Lin Haoxuan smiled understandingly and said, "Your Highness is doing this to clear the way for the little princess."
"She doesn't have many people with her. Qingluan is very capable, but with such a large army, it will take them some time to clean up. We are not in a hurry, so why not clear it out first?" Xiao Muting was said.
It's the central thing, but it's not difficult at all, but it's very proud.
"Okay! Just clear the obstacles along the way for the little princess!" Lin Haoxuan ordered.
But those who came to besiege them were a combination of troops from several cities. They obeyed the orders of their respective generals. They were obviously following, but now they were attacked. They were originally frightened by the Xuanjia Army, but now they were fighting.
If you are timid and confused, you will have no fighting ability.
It was originally an ambush battle that was beneficial to them, but instead they were outflanked from behind by the Xuanjia Army. Someone attacked them, and someone attacked them from behind. It didn't take long for these people to be defeated.
Although it was a victory, the soldiers in the army were not satisfied at all, and they were all looking forward to fighting the rebels outside the capital.
