On the tenth day of May, an urgent letter from the capital appeared in Xiao Muting's hands.
The study room of Prince Chen's Mansion was full of people.
Xiao Muting raised the letter in his hand and said to everyone: "I have just received this. King Xiao Yanqing of the Song and Yuan Dynasties has raised troops to force the palace."
King Li was just stunned for a moment, then immediately clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "It's great this time. They have turned against each other, and we can also let him taste the feeling of being stabbed by his own son!"
But the other people all looked heavy and frowned, and they didn't think this news was a good thing.
After Prince Li smiled happily, he saw that everyone had such sad expressions. He immediately put away his expression and said to Prince Baoqing beside him: "Uncle, don't you think this is a good time? Let's sit on the mountain."
It would be better to watch a tiger fight and watch them both suffer losses. It would be better to wait until the fight is over and their vitality is severely damaged before they show up to clean up the mess."
Prince Baoqing just looked at him lightly, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's good at all!"
"Why!" King Li asked puzzledly.
Xiao Yanchun was very discerning and immediately pulled off his sleeve, but he threw it away.
King Li stood up and looked at everyone and said: "Yes, I am indeed happy to hear the news. I can also understand what you are thinking. At least King Yi will not be in a good mood at this time.
, he is your father after all. It is right to have filial piety, but you should not forget how he treated your mother, concubine and you back then. If your little uncle was not here, I would not think about the grass on your grave now.
He must have grown very tall too.”
King Yi's face changed and he looked at him sharply.
"Brother Li Wang!" Xiao Muting called him in a deep voice.
But King Li waved his hand to him and said very considerately: "It doesn't matter, Brother Wang knows that there are some things that are inconvenient for you to say, so why not say it for you? Besides, they all know it in their hearts.
, who treats them well."
Xiao Muting said coldly: "No need to say more!"
However, Prince Li waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "If you don't want to explain something unclear, it's better to explain it more clearly. In today's situation, I think everyone here has their own thoughts. It doesn't matter. If you say it, everyone will also understand it."
I understand. Anyway, I have always been open-minded. I will speak out openly when I say anything. It is better for everyone to point out what is wrong or right. It is better than hiding it and making a grudge or something later. Then there is Marquis Dingguo.
Well, after all, he is married to the princess’s consort, and now there is another prince, Prince Ming, so it’s best to think clearly about how to make a decision, so as not to have any other ideas then.”
Si Xiujie just glanced at him indifferently, then turned his head and lowered his eyes, clenched his hand on the chair handle, and curled his lips in disgust.
King Li then turned to look at Prince Baoqing, but he pursed his lips and did not say much. Then he looked at Xiao Muting: "Anyway, Brother Wang thinks this is a good thing. Xiao Yanqing can be so bold in raising troops to usurp the throne.
It seems that he has had enough of Xiao Muyun's oppression, but a pair of thieves, a father and a son, let them bite each other, no matter who wins or loses, it is a blessing for us, so we don't need to pay attention to it at all."
"That's wrong!" Prince Baoqing said in a deep voice.
"Then what the Fifth Emperor means is that we still have to go rescue him!" King Li mocked with a hint of disrespect.
"Why not? It's justifiable! It should be so!" Prince Baoqing said slowly, then slowly raised his slightly cold eyes to look at him.
After hearing what he said, King Li turned around with a cold snort, flung down his sleeves, turned around and sat back in the chair. He didn't see his eyes and said angrily: "Then you go, anyway, I don't want to be the king."
go!"
Xiao Muting raised the corner of his mouth and picked up the tea bowl on the table. He scratched the tea bowl with the tea lid and took another sip. Then he leaned on the back of the chair and looked at King Yi: "Yanhao, prepare the goods and ship them out in five days."
We must reach Hanling Ferry within a short time and stop on the river to wait for orders."
"Yes!" King Yi nodded.
"Marquis Dingguo will stay in Baifeng City and take good care of Princess Guiqi and Prince Ming." Xiao Muting looked at Si Xiujie again.
"I can go too, Si Jiajun can also come in handy!" Si Xiujie said reluctantly.
"You stay behind, do you understand?" Xiao Muting's situation became more serious, with a warning in his eyes.
"Understood, I will stay in Baifeng City!" Si Xiujie could only agree in compromise.
When Prince Baoqing looked over, he stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I will travel with Prince Yi."
Xiao Muting understood that he could not stop this matter. Regardless of whether it was the current situation or not, Prince Baoqing had to be present as a member of the royal family, so he could only nod.
He then said to King Li, who was still angry because these people followed Xiao Muting's arrangements: "Since Brother Li Wang has already decided, I won't force you, but I want to lead my troops, so why not ask Brother Li to go first?"
Go back to the county town to hear the news, and when the things there are over, you can come back to the capital to meet us."
However, King Li looked very straightforward and waved his hand: "No need to go to so much trouble. Brother Wang can wait for your news in Baifeng City."
"No need!" Xiao Muting said solemnly.
"Why don't you need to lead the troops to the capital in person? In the land of Bai Feng City, only the Si family army of Marquis Dingguo is left. There are not many people. If someone wants to take this opportunity to invade, what's the big deal? Brother Wang is here
, it can also help to shock you, so you don’t have to be polite to Brother Wang." King Li said loudly again.
"Uncle Li Wang means that our army is useless and we can't even defend a city?" Si Xiujie asked coldly.
"I don't have such intention, Marquis Dingguo, please don't talk nonsense, but your Si family army does not have many troops." King Li immediately denied it, but his look said everything.
Xiao Muting's voice also cooled down and he said: "Thank you, Brother Li, for your concern. I am not at the end of my rope yet. The number of Si family soldiers is not large, but their combat power is not bad, and he will not be the only one to defend the city."
.”
"Oh? It turns out that King Chen still has some manpower." King Li looked surprised, but he was extremely surprised in his heart.
"It turns out that Brother Li Wang doesn't know the strength of our Cangque County. If Brother Li Wang is willing, my sister and I are willing to show it to Brother Wang." Su Han's voice came from outside the study door.
As her voice ended, she also walked in, and the juniors stood up to greet her. After meeting Prince Baoqing, she nodded to Prince Li with her fists in her hands: "It seems that Brother Prince Li
I don’t know that all the people in Cangque County are in the army. If there are people who are not afraid of death and take this opportunity to attack, they will definitely know what it means to regret their mistakes and open their eyes."
"My brother and sister, what you said is a bit exaggerated. I have lived in vain for decades, but I have never heard of such a thing. All the people are soldiers, how can it be done by men, women, old and young?" King Li asked with ridicule.
.
"Why don't you give it a try, King Li? Anyway, I have received the news that your two elders and second son are really talented. Now they have assembled an army of 50,000 and are marching towards our Cangque County. Within ten
On the same day, the vanguard army will arrive at our Lingxiu City. If they attack together, it will take less than a day to think about it, and they will be defeated. If these two young masters attack in two places, my brother and sister will make a bet with Brother Li Wang. In two hours,
We must let them all die under the city gate." Su Han looked at him with a half-smile.
Prince Li suddenly stood up and stared at her: "The news is accurate!"
"The news from Feng Qing Pavilion is always accurate!" Su Han raised his eyebrows proudly at him.
King Li only said to Xiao Muting: "Then I will go back and take a look first, and I will wait for your good news."
After saying that, he took Xiao Yanchun and rushed out of the study room quickly.
And everyone was disgusted by his behavior.
Su Han blinked at Xiao Muting and then smiled: "We can go rescue him!"
