Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

The team led by Xiao Yiheng went through the dense forest and entered the valley, but there was no news of it. The lieutenant sent the specially trained eagle to search for it, but no one was found.

The next day, news came from the front that because of the heavy rain in the past few days, people and horses entered the valley, and the rocks rolled down, driving the loose soil around, forming a mudslide.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly sent out troops to search for him. All they saw was ruins and no one, not even the hem of his clothes.

I don't know if His Royal Highness Chen Wang had already made a prediction, so he led someone to avoid disaster for the time being, or...

The deputy general knew that the matter was serious, and he didn't dare to lie, so he sent an urgent report to Beijing and handed it to Zichen Hall.At the same time, people are constantly being sent to the dense forest valley to search for Xiao Yiheng's whereabouts.

As Xiao Yiheng's commander-in-chief, if the news of his disappearance leaked out, the army's morale would be shaken, and they would break from within before the enemy army came.

Today, the two armies are in a stalemate, and no one dares to act rashly.

After Nan Zhen finished reading the letter, the uneasiness in her heart finally came to fruition. She took a deep breath, "Is this lieutenant trustworthy?"

Xiao Rongxi nodded, "Believable. He was trained step by step by King Chen. He has never left the military camp and has a clean background. Otherwise, King Chen would not have kept him by his side and given him high power."

"The force of nature is hard to resist by manpower."

Just from the few words described on paper, we can see how critical it was at that time.

She didn't want the worst outcome, but now, they had to prepare for the worst.

"No," Nan Zhen thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Before going through the dense forest and entering the valley, Prince Chen will definitely send someone to scout the way. If the conditions are not allowed, why would he lead his troops in?"

Xiao Rongxi twirled the letter lightly with her fingers, and squinted her eyes, "I have also thought of this problem. Therefore, the people who went to explore the way may not be clean, and there must be people who echo him in the army."

That is, collaborating with the enemy.

A small soldier will not have such great strength, so there must be someone in the army behind him to push.

This kind of person may look inconspicuous on weekdays, but he can speak in front of generals, and he can figure out people's thoughts. When everything is ready, what he says is that gust of east wind.

"Then what does His Majesty plan to do?" Nan Zhen asked.

Xiao Rongxi sighed, "While looking for people, he is also investigating the ghosts. If the worst result is true, Liang Jun will not let this opportunity go. He will definitely make a big show of it and disturb the morale of our army. At that time... I will go in person."

The personal conquest by the imperial driver is enough to drive away the shadow left by Xiao Yiheng's disappearance or being buried and killed in the hearts of the soldiers.

Moreover, the battle for the Northwest can only be won, not defeated.

Nan Zhen had no objection to this. From her point of view, this was also the best way.

"But before that, His Majesty still has something to do."

Xiao Rongxi nodded, "It's the Yu family."

His eyes were dim, and the candlelight was reflected in his eyes, which kept jumping, as if sparks could be erupted in the next second.

Nan Zhen continued, "I came to Zichen Palace tonight because I also wanted to tell His Majesty something. A Jing was born by Yu Xinghong and the Nanjiang Saintess. His Majesty was deceived back then, and he was the one behind the plan."

Xiao Rongxi was already mentally prepared, but when he really heard it, he still couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.

As long as he can remember, poisonous Gu has existed in his body——

How many years has Yu Xinghong been planning? !

"What did Ah Jing say?"

Nan Zhen: "There is also the doctor who entered the palace back then, Feng Lun. He has been in Yu's house for more than half a year, and he can still hear a few words."

If the Yu family wants to seize power, they must kill the prince.

The late emperor had more than two sons, except for Xiao Rongxi and Xiao Yiheng, they all died before reaching the weak crown, and the methods of death were different.

Although Xiao Rongxi grew up safely, Gu hidden in his body was always a hidden danger.With the relationship with the saintess of Southern Xinjiang, Yu Xinghong can use this to control Xiao Rongxi's life and death; and Xiao Yiheng is so well protected that he didn't find a chance to do it.

But people are to be killed after all, and the biggest possibility is the battlefield.

The matter of Hong Chuan escorting the grain and grass before was an introduction, but now that King Chen is missing and a ghost appears in the army, the first suspects are naturally the Yu family.

As for the matter of grain and grass, the reason why he was not moved was because the evidence was insufficient, and the matter could only be used to provoke the relationship between the Chen Palace and the Yu family; if he could find out the clues now, Xiao Rongxi would definitely kill Yu Xinghong immediately.

"I seem to understand." Xiao Rongxi said slowly.

Before, he couldn't figure out what kind of trump card Yu Xinghong had. He dared to compete with them for the position of the Ninth Five Lord despite his dishonorable reputation and lack of absolute military superiority.

His biggest hole card is not facing inward, but facing outward.

Colluding with Lord Liang is one, capturing the Mingyue Pavilion and controlling the news network of the entire continent is the second——

So meticulous thinking, so far-reaching planning.

Xiao Rongxi couldn't help sighing that it was reasonable for him to hide for so long and so deep.

He calmed down, thought for a while, and said, "I will reply first, it is important to deal with the matter at hand, if you are sleepy, go to the room to rest first."

Looking more closely, he was close to Chou Shi, so he didn't plan to rest this night.

Nan Zhen shook her head, "I am here to accompany Your Majesty."

The nearby candle wick exploded, and the flames also flickered.Nan Zhen walked over, picked up the scissors next to the candlestick, cut off the blackened part, looked up, saw Xiao Rongxi was still staring at her, and smiled back, "Your Majesty can handle government affairs with peace of mind."

Xiao Rongxi also hooked the corners of his mouth, "Okay."

……

In the next few days, the capital was calm and calm, and Liang Jun on the northwest border seemed to have been severely injured. There was no more friction, and there was a dead silence.

But the more you are in this kind of time, the more worrying and disturbing you are.

Under the calm, a storm has already been brewing.

Autumn came quietly, and the ginkgo leaves outside the study turned yellow.

Yu Xinghong stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, his eyes were heavy like water, but there was an imperceptible curvature at the corner of his mouth, which could let people see that he was in a good mood at the moment.

The butler came in from the outside and handed over the letter respectfully.

After reading it, Yu Xinghong chuckled lightly, "Are you sure?"

"It's confirmed. King Chen, Guard Yang, and the troops brought out that day were all buried under the mudslide, and no one survived."

"Very good," Yu Xinghong casually put the letter on the table, "It's not in vain that I've been planning for so many years, and it's finally time for the harvest. Tell Liang Guo that the news that King Chen was ambushed and killed in battle can be spread to the outside world. "

As soon as the news came out, the army's morale would be disturbed, the city gate could be broken, the northwest was not guarded, and the capital...no one could stop him.

Yu Xinghong was happy for a moment, then quickly restrained his emotions and forced himself to calm down, "What is the young master doing recently?"

"I've been in the courtyard for the past two days and haven't gone out yet, but I heard from the people below that the young master has recently become obsessed with Liang Guo opera books, and even bought two to read."

"is it?"

Yu Xinghong bit these two words lightly, "I'm also very interested in what he did before, just now I have time, so let's go and see him."

I have seen the votes and comments, thank you——
