Xiao Li has been arrogant and arrogant all his life, and he is extremely capable of controlling things according to his own will. He may have the intention to intimidate Qi Ming, but he will never let him go so far as to kill him.

The three armies were in chaos, especially the soldiers who took orders from Qi Ming's faction. How resentful they were, in full view of the public, there was no room for them to hide it.

There was a lot of noise and excitement outside. Xiao Li returned to the military camp to calm down, and his palms were already covered in cold sweat.

Onew reluctantly sent an army to control Qi Ming's men and came back to report, "We have settled them for the time being, but there are many eyes. Using military force to hold them hostage is not a long-term solution. If the time comes for the two armies to fight, I'm afraid we won't have to look at each other." Don’t stop.”

"Since it's useless, why not kill him quickly!"

A smart female voice recalled clearly, and a young woman slowly came in. Onew was stunned for a moment and called out, "Mrs. Ru."

In the Marquis Wu'an's mansion, Yin Zhu was not favored, and only Mrs. Ru was the most favored, so even Onew had to greet her respectfully. However, due to some inexplicable events in the past few years, this Mrs. Ru has been away from the world for a long time, and she does not want to show up today.

She just heard her say: "In the past, when we went to war, why didn't the Marquis be the first and he be the second? Now he stepped on it only after seeing the Marquis in despair. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be worthy of carrying his shoes, so why would the Marquis give him face?" No matter how angry he is, he should have repaid you long ago."

"Moreover -" she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and slowly stepped forward with a charming smile, "Isn't he already dead? Since he is dead, why bother leaving other people behind? It is better to die without any evidence! The military situation is so urgent, as long as it is Everyone closes their eyes, who knows how he died? Who wouldn’t believe that he was killed by the Wei army?!"

Onew thought she was ridiculous and was just igniting him: "Are you kidding? The fifth prince has eight thousand soldiers in Jinyang. If they are all killed, the blood will flow into a river. Not to mention the power of the fifth prince. And it’s not just in Jinyang City. If the news spreads out and becomes true, and not everyone denounces it, the consequences will be... Lord Marquis, you can’t make the same mistake again and again."

He held his hands, bowed to Xiao Li, and said slowly: "Master Hou, if you don't listen to your subordinate's advice, it's not too late for us to go back to the court to plead guilty to King Xiang now. With King Xiang's trust in you, And love may not lead to severe punishment."

When the woman heard what he said, she even sneered, and then joked: "That's even worse? No matter how much Prince Xiang loves the Marquis, the Marquis will kill his own son. What if King Xiang really punishes the Marquis? How difficult is it? Can't the entire Hou family be buried with Qi Ming? If he hadn't intentionally poisoned Princess Qin first, why would the Marquis be like this? He was the first to cause trouble, so why should the Marquis just admit it?"

She made a cold gesture and pinched her waist, "I think that Qi Ming is the evil star. He was born to be the master of Kehou. He is not peaceful in life, and he will not give up even after death."

As he said that, he clung to Xiao Li's shoulders, "Master Hou, if you admit defeat, you won't be controlled by him for the rest of your life!? Why are you still so cowardly after someone is dead!"

This woman was very sharp-tongued, and Wen Liu couldn't defeat her for a while, so he had to kneel down and persuade her, "Master Hou... these eight thousand people really can't be killed. Even if you are not angry with the fifth prince, if Jinyang City loses eight thousand soldiers, it will The emptiness breaks the defense..."

But how could the woman listen to Onew's words? She threw up her handkerchief and her eyebrows danced with joy. There was a gleam of water-lily droplets and gold on her forehead, "Jinyang City has 50,000 defenders. It's only 8,000 people. What's the point?" It’s ridiculous, besides, isn’t there Yanshan Pass in front of us? Are you looking at Lord Meng?”

Onew gritted his teeth angrily, "A mistake can make a difference of a thousand miles. How can we underestimate the military affairs? Lord Marquis——"

"That's enough!" The lawsuit on his head made Xiao Li agitated and shouted to him: "The current situation is already chaotic enough. Jinyang is not fair, and it will not only cause trouble for himself, but before the news comes out, you should quickly let him go." People outside shut up! No need to talk to me again."

Such a decisive move would mean killing those eight thousand people.

Onew hurriedly took two steps on his knees and kowtowed, "Master Hou! You are from the Jie tribe, how can you kill someone of your own tribe!"

Hearing what he said, the woman sneered: "Commander Wen, do you not understand what people say, or do you just don't want to obey?! If you continue to hesitate, even I will doubt your loyalty."

After that, she gathered around Xiao Li and spoke softly and gently. Onew was depressed at first, but seeing such a posture, he had no choice but to accept the order and leave.

However, military affairs have always affected the whole body. Wen Yu was hundreds of miles away from Jinyang, but he also heard the news from far away.

Military intelligence was reported: Qi Ming led 8,000 troops and was attacked in a canyon fifteen miles outside Jinyang City. Xiao Li took over the rest of the city troops with the tiger talisman and ordered the twelve gates of Jinyang to be closed. The entire city was under martial law and no entry or exit was allowed. .

But the Wei soldiers were far away from here, so how could they attack?

Yang Zuo stroked the feathers of the patrol falcon, and he couldn't help but become more suspicious, "If we could annihilate the enemy army from a distance, Xiang Kingdom would have been destroyed eight hundred times. Xiao Li is really vicious. He actually fabricated public opinion to slander us."

After he said that, He Bingzhu laughed for no apparent reason. Yang Zuo said resentfully: "You are still laughing at this time!"

"Why don't you laugh?" He Bingzhu touched his goatee and looked at Wen Yu: "I would like to congratulate Your Highness in advance. Xiao Li is like this...but he has a tendency to destroy himself!"

He narrowed his eyes and recounted: "The leader has passed away and the morale of the army is unstable. Even if Xiao Li forcibly corrects the situation, he may not be able to suppress the defenders of each city. The opportunity at this time can be said to be missed."

Wen Yu grasped the yellow letter paper and said, "The man just now came to send another message saying that Yanshan has been very agitated after receiving the news of Qi Ming's death, and he seems to have doubts about his death."

Then he put the letter on the table and said, "Look at what this is."

He Bingzhu followed the instructions and reached out to take it. He was shocked when he saw it. What was outlined on it was a simple topographic map.

He boldly speculated, "Yanshan's defense plan?"

Wen Yu said nothing, but when he thought of this innocent disaster in the north, he felt resentful and laughed instead.

Seeing him like this, He Bingzhu also understood. He unconsciously wanted to use all the information about the person who secretly helped them, and analyzed: "This picture was originally sold to Xiang Guo by Liu Yao, but now it can be so perfectly imprinted." Come down, I think this person must be lurking next to Xiao Li."

"It's just that this person has such great ability, why should he help you?"

Wen Yu said nothing. From the moment Yan Shouguan received the news that Xiao Li was about to attack the city, from the first moment he saw her, he knew she would definitely help.

Not for anything else, just because they come from a common place.

Seeing his knowing eyes, He Bingzhu took a breath and said, "However, if this person hadn't tipped off the news, I'm afraid we would have fallen into a plot when Yan was guarding the pass. If this person is really considerate, then I think the princess is fine too."

"It's okay..." Wen Yu smiled in vain.

Ever since he learned that Ti Zhen had been sent to Jinyang City by the emperor pretending to be a married princess, he had suffered so much that his heart was about to break. He had to worry about the military situation and was exhausted mentally and physically because of the loss of the rear. If someone among them hadn't reported that Ti Zhen was fine , he had long lost his calmness and sense of proportion.

At least she is safe with Xiao Li, but Xiao Li's temperament changes too quickly and his obsession is too deep. What if he thinks of other tricks to hide people or send them away?
Ti Zhen could not come back for a day, and he was still uneasy in his heart. But in the end, it was the person in the palace who caused all this!

He clenched his fist and slowly knocked on the handle, and his heart was itching with hatred, "The army is clearing the city, and I still know not to attack the old, weak, women and children, but our Majesty... It's just that he set an ambush in the front, and he didn't even let my family members in the rear. However, compared to his father, what he did was to kill everyone, which is disgusting and why not chilling."

"In the private conversation in the night before, Zhen'er also mentioned that His Majesty is dishonest and does not promise to keep his oath. If I only thought that he was a bad boy who was taught bad things, now I see clearly that he is despicable. With such a shameless face, if we fall into his hands one day, our lives will be worse than death."

He Bingzhu observed his expression and thought: "Whether His Highness's uncle is in charge of military affairs, or your mother, Queen Huyan, is in charge of palace affairs, although it is criticized for being decisive, ruthless and unintentional, there are definitely some of them who do this. reason."

Wen Yu couldn't help but look at him, "Apart from Zhen'er... there are very few people who can speak to my mother."

He Bingzhu was slightly shaken, so slightly, but he could already feel his heart and lungs trembling, "Even though Queen Huyan has many faults, is she not someone who sincerely protects His Highness? No matter what outsiders say about her, in the eyes of Wei Chen , she is just a mother who loves her children."

A sense of sourness suddenly welled up in my heart. I accidentally knocked down the tea cup in my hand when I pushed it with my hand. I heard a "clang" and it fell to pieces. Before he could take care of the debris on the ground, there were hurried footsteps outside the tent.

"Report! Urgent situation ahead! Yanshan City heard the news that Qi Ming was killed and silenced by Xiao Li, and suddenly there was chaos. I heard that soldiers had spontaneously revolted and wanted to send troops to Jinyang City to seek justice for Qi Ming!"

Wen Yu was overjoyed, "Okay, okay! Our friend is trying his best, and we ourselves can't fall behind!"

After saying that, he walked forward, brushed off his sleeves, sat on the throne and said loudly: "Since the coup in Gu Hot Spring Palace, Ma has been in Nanshan for five or six years, and he has yet to fight a happy battle! Today can be regarded as Gu. Seized the opportunity. He Bingzhu and Yang Zuo quickly ordered people to raise the flag and prepare troops. We will take Yanshan City tonight!"
