Lady forced to seek prince

Qin Tongpan made up his mind. As long as there was no movement in the Iron Castle, he would not take action.In fact, he more or less didn't believe that those in Taozhou could plant spies in Wang Zeng's place.

According to what the naughty son said in his letter, the girl from the Zhao family is currently in charge in Taozhou. He knows that the girl is very smart. She sneaked into his house with Mr. Song and tricked the naughty son into working for her. After going to Fengxia Village, Even the surrounding villagers were willing to listen to her. She won the trust of the eldest princess Changle before everyone knew she was still alive. But after all, she was a woman and had never been in a military camp. How could she know about the military?

Unless it was someone who pointed her out.

Thinking of King Yu, Qin Tongpan suddenly felt a little scared. In fact, he didn't know whether King Yu was really alive until now. When Jiezhou was in turmoil a while ago, he received a letter with a sentence written on it, He was ordered to defend Minzhou.

No payment was made, but the military guards were ordered to be sent to the government office.But he subconsciously knew whose hand it came from. Later, he found an official document overnight, with an annotation from King Yu on it. When he compared the handwriting, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he stood there frozen.

The exact same handwriting was definitely written by the same person.So the speculations outside about whether King Yu was alive or not were confirmed by him at this moment.It took him a long time to recover, and he immediately thought that the capital was still unaware of this matter. The emperor, the grand master, and others might still be asking people to inquire whether the eldest princess Changle was alive, but they did not expect that the problem was not in Changle. Not on the eldest princess, but on King Yu.

He shouldn't have gone through this muddy water, at least he shouldn't have blocked the city gates, cut off contact with the imperial court, and gambled the lives of the people in the city to stand with the other five states. But he had been in contact with Zhao Jingyun for a long time, and the traitor lived in Feng. Xia Cun received another letter from King Yu and learned such a terrible secret that he had no choice from the beginning.

During these days, Qin Tongpan often received letters from the Qin clan asking why he betrayed the court, but who knew his suffering?

After boarding this ship, he had to listen to Princess Changle's arrangements. The Zhao girl asked him to do things, and he didn't shirk it, but he couldn't lead people to die.

Qin Tongpan was just thinking when he heard the noise coming from the iron castle, and then saw the light of fire lighting up in the dark night, illuminating the sky in front of him in a moment.

The Zhao girl really put people around Wang Zeng.

Looking at the fire, Qin Tongpan's originally wrinkled eyebrows gradually smoothed out. It seemed that he had a high chance of winning the battle tonight and captured the traitorous general Wang Zeng.

"My sons," Qin Tongpan shouted loudly, "They all said that our six states have recognized the eldest princess, but actually I said, no. What we recognize is not the eldest princess, but someone who can guard the gate of Da Qi. We are the soldiers and horses of Daqi, what we should do is to protect the people of Daqi, guard the land under our feet, and we cannot leave a single person behind and take a step back."

After Qin Tongpan finished speaking, the soldiers around him said: "You can't retreat, you can't retreat!"

Qin Tongpan continued: "Wang Zeng and those people have secretly conspired with the Western Tibetan people and harmed their colleagues. Do you think they should be killed?"

"It should be killed, it should be killed!"

Qin Tongpan took a deep breath and drew out the long sword from his waist: "Since the beginning of the war in the northwest, many people have made great achievements on the battlefield. Now it is finally our turn. Sons, follow me to capture the traitors. Take the battle merit and go back to your parents, mothers-in-law, and aunts, so that they know what we have done, and our soldiers in Daqi should all be strong-willed men."

As soon as Qin Tongpan finished speaking, there were shouts of "bluff, bluff".

Over the years as an official, what Qin Tongpan has done best is inspiring people.He is not as imposing as King Yu. Standing next to King Yu, his morale will naturally be high, but fortunately he has a mouth.

"Charge." Qin Tongpan pulled the reins first, and the soldiers around him immediately followed.

Qin Tongpan could not mobilize many garrison troops and could not outnumber Wang Zeng. Without internal support, this battle would be lost. Now that he had the opportunity, he had to go all out.

Now they are working together inside and outside to attack at night, but they still can't defeat Wang Zeng, and Qin Tongpan is not prepared to survive.He only has one thought now, to catch Wang Zeng and survive, so that he can have the opportunity to use family methods to slap the traitor's ass hard in the future.

...Inside the Iron Castle.

Wang Zeng had already rested when he suddenly heard a loud noise outside. The guard guarding the door came in in a panic and reported: "General, our Aocang is on fire."

Aocang was full of food that they had plundered, and two teams of people took turns guarding it. How could it suddenly catch fire?
What Wang Zeng thought about was not the fire, but someone sneaking into the camp.

Wang Zeng said: "Gather everyone immediately."

When the guard heard this, he immediately came back to his senses and realized what was going on.

Only by gathering everyone together can we know where the people who have sneaked into the military camp are.And in this way, it will be more convenient to mobilize troops and horses later.

There is really a sneak attack, but they will not only burn Aocang, they will definitely take the next step...

The guard thought of this and was about to turn around and walk out. Suddenly, the light on the table flickered and a bunch of arrows shot in from the window. The guard was shocked and immediately drew his knife to stop it.

The arrows hit the ground, but there were still a few heading towards Wang Zeng. In an emergency, Wang Zeng could only dodge in a panic, barely able to escape.

"Catch the assassin." The guard shouted, but the sneak attack assassin failed to hit him and fled away.

Wang Zeng was in shock. In fact, when he went on an expedition with Feng Chenghai, he encountered the armed guards who had taken refuge with Princess Changle. He was unexpectedly thrown a few firearms by those people and was slightly injured.In front of Xiao Qi, he pretended to be nonchalant because he was afraid that Xiao Qi had other thoughts and hid in the iron castle to recover from his injuries.

The wound was involved when dodging just now, and now he can feel that the scar that has not grown has opened again, and the warm blood has soaked the binding cloth.

Wang Zeng took a deep breath and covered his chest with his hands.

Wang Zeng said: "Catch the assassin." When he caught the assassin, he would cramp and skin him.

"General."

Before Wang Zeng could put on his armor and go out, another general came to report: "The Prince of Yu has also encountered an assassin. He is now... seriously injured."

Wang Zeng frowned. He almost forgot about Xiao Qi. If Xiao Qi died, he would lose a chess piece in his hand, and the future would be even more difficult.

Wang Zeng rushed to Xiao Qi's residence, and the general followed him and reported: "Three assassins came to the prince's side. We stopped two of them, but one of them got close."

There was only one assassin on Wang Zeng's side, but there were three on Xiao Qi's side. The purpose of these people might be to kill Xiao Qi.

Finally arriving at Xiao Qi's military tent, Wang Zeng opened the curtain and looked inside, only to see Xiao Qi sitting sluggishly on a chair, one arm hanging down, and blood dripping down his hand.

Wang Zeng's heart sank, half of Prince Yu's life seemed to be gone.
