After Ma Yue gave his instructions, he continued to patrol the camp as if nothing had happened. A group of soldiers came towards him. Ma Yue showed his face and nodded to the leader, Marquis Du Yu.

Then he looked towards the door of the military camp.

The ones guarding there are the generals of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Whether they can open the door silently depends on whether there is anyone on the general's side who responds.

Judging from the letter sent by the Ningfu County Lord, the County Lord will make arrangements.

Ma Yue took a deep breath, fearing that it would not be easy to do, but he also made up his mind that he would rush out with people regardless of whether the door would open or not.

Not for anything else, just because of his brother.

Stepping on the muddy ground, his whole body was soaked by the rain, but the fire in Ma Yue's heart grew stronger and stronger.

He once thought that his brother died to save the prince, but only after entering the prince's palace did he find out the secret.

When the late emperor passed away, the prime minister deliberately took action and ordered his brother to assassinate the current emperor. Unexpectedly, he showed his flaws. Seeing that the new emperor ascended the throne and stabilized the situation, the prime minister suspected that there was a chess piece planted by others and leaked the secret in advance, so he put the secret behind him. More than ten people, including the elder brother, were killed. The elder brother's loyalty finally led to this result.

Now that he knows this, he must avenge his brother. Since the Prime Minister has long wanted to seize the throne, he will definitely look for opportunities to take action again. Even if the Lord of Ningfu County does not invite him, he will give the Prime Minister a taste of betrayal.

As Ma Yue was thinking, he suddenly felt that the rain hitting his coir raincoat was no longer so fast. He raised his head and let the rain fall on his face.

The rain has really lightened up.

Ma Yue suddenly smiled.

God fulfills people's wishes.

……

The Prime Minister was lying on a simple bunk, but a heater was placed around him to dispel the cold air around him.

Feeling the warmth of this moment, King Xiang fell asleep quickly.

The rain was falling rapidly, but King Xiang slept particularly peacefully. In his trance, he seemed to dream that he led troops back to Beijing and then ascended the throne.

Yes, he is the one who is going to ascend the throne.

Taking risks to plot rebellion and risking his life to gather troops, what he wants is not to give the throne to others for an advantage. Otherwise, he just needs to be his prime minister in peace, so why bother?

Except for himself, no one deserves to do this, not even his son.

But in order to borrow power, he pretended to join forces with the Grand Master. After passing this level, he would find a way to kill the puppet that the Grand Master was going to support, and then put his own son through it.

After stabilizing the Grand Master, at the last moment, he replaced his son.

This is all his plans.

He would not tell anyone these things, not even to his wife and children. What he said was for the sake of his children.

Which child should be chosen as the leader is what the wife and children have to consider.

With this incident in front of him, his son could only listen to his instructions wholeheartedly, try every means to win his favor, and relieve him of some dangers.

What a good plan.

This is how Xiang Wang reached his current situation step by step and defeated so many clans.

The pain he suffered today will be repaid a thousand times tomorrow, and he will never suffer a loss.

King Xiang thought this, and raised the corners of his mouth into a smile.

But only for a moment, he suddenly woke up uneasily.

The rain outside doesn't seem to be that heavy anymore.

King Xiang opened his eyes.

There was still a faint light in the military tent.

The Prime Minister listened carefully to the movements around him. If everything was safe, he would close his eyes and fall asleep again. King Xiang slowly closed his eyes, but at this moment, he heard unusual footsteps outside.

"Who is outside?" Xiang Wang stood up neatly. At this moment, he did not act like an old man. His aging and frail appearance was just a way for him to confuse outsiders.

Soon the person guarding outside said: "Your Majesty, it's the Fourth Master."

The Prime Minister frowned: "What is the Fourth Brother doing here?"

The younger son Xiao Zheng took over a troop of soldiers and horses. He has been out searching for news these days. Xiao Zheng returned to the army yesterday after being injured when he fell off his horse.

"Father," Xiao Zheng's voice came, "My son has something important to report."

The Prime Minister rarely sees others alone at night, including his own son, especially tonight when there are not many guards around the tent.

King Xiang said: "It's too late today. I've already rested as a father. We can discuss things in the tent tomorrow."

As soon as the Prime Minister opened his mouth, Xiao Zheng said eagerly: "Father, this matter cannot be delayed."

Hearing this, the Prime Minister couldn't help but frown.

"Father," Xiao Zheng urged again, "My son just intercepted a letter in the camp. It is the handwriting of the county lord."

The Prime Minister was immediately stunned.

The Lord of Ningfu County had already fallen into the hands of King Yu, and it stands to reason that he would at least be in prison. If he writes back now... it is self-evident what his intention is.

This matter is no small matter, so the Prime Minister ordered the guards: "Take the Fourth Master into the tent with you."

The several guards around the Prime Minister are inseparable from the Prime Minister. From the time they were trained, they have only one responsibility, and that is to protect the Prime Minister.

With them around on weekdays, it would be impossible for those assassins to get close to King Xiang. This is why King Xiang has been defeated many times, but he can still escape unscathed.

There was no time to put on his armor, so the Prime Minister sat on the main seat wearing only his regular clothes.

Xiao Zheng saluted King Xiang, then raised his head, revealing a face that resembled King Xiang, and then he respectfully presented the letter in his hand.

The Prime Minister couldn't wait to check, and soon he frowned, with murderous intent and anger on his face.

"This bitch," King Xiang said sternly, "actually convinced others to cooperate with King Yu to deal with me."

Xiao Zheng's eyes darkened: "Father, the county master must be here for the third brother."

The Lord of Ningfu County is a concubine, and Xiao Zheng and others have always been reluctant to call him by his name. Now that they have the handle of the County Lord, it is inevitable that they will become more resentful. Therefore, Xiao Zheng gritted his teeth when he spoke, as if he wanted to kill the Lord of Ningfu immediately. The siblings are captured and punished.

Before the Prime Minister could speak, Xiao Zheng added: "My son thought that he would immediately capture the third brother and interrogate him strictly to find out what their plan was."

With that said, Xiao Zheng turned to look outside the tent.

"King Yu's army is not far from here. Father must not be careless."

Xiao Zheng's words were correct, and the Prime Minister took a deep breath. Ever since Ning Fu was captured, the Prime Minister had imprisoned the third child and not allowed him to move around freely. Although he knew that Ning Fu was of no use, it was always right to be on guard. When he came here, he also took the third child with him. By my side.

"Then go get him."

Xiao Zheng responded: "Son, I will take care of the third child right away." He stood up and walked out.

The Prime Minister looked at Xiao Zheng's back and suddenly stopped him: "You don't have to go, let the guards go!" The place where the third child was imprisoned was usually guarded by soldiers. He issued a strict order. Without his handwriting, the old man could not go. Third, he was not allowed to leave the tent, otherwise he would be killed immediately. He did not trust this bastard, especially when Ning Fu was involved.

Not to mention that Ning Fu's handwriting has now been discovered.

Except for his confidants, he would not trust anyone to take care of the third child.

Xiao Zheng's steps faltered, he paused for a moment, and suddenly looked outside the tent. There stood a group of soldiers he had brought, and one of the soldiers also looked at him at this moment.
