Seeing Zhamu like this, Zhuang Wan understood in her heart, so she hit the iron while the iron was hot: "Your former master is in Dayan, and his life may be in danger at any time. If you don't go to him, why don't you still spend your whole life here?"

"Where is the prince?" Jamu asked in a low voice, "Where is he?"

"I can't tell you that!" Zhuang Wan said, "If you want to know his whereabouts, you should release me and those brothers first!"

Jamu stared at her, and after a long while laughed, with a sad and forbearing expression.

"Do you think I will believe your nonsense? You are all lackeys of the Xiao family!"

"How is it possible that the crown prince is still alive! I saw with my own eyes... that bastard Xiao Yiqing stabbed him to death with a sword, and the swaddle... was covered with blood..."

Jamu fell into memory, sad and angry: "You want to trick me into releasing you all, and then lead me to the Central Plains to claim credit for that old thief, dreaming! I want you all to be buried with the prince!"

"Calm down!" Zhuang Wan simply admired his logic, why couldn't he think in the right direction.

"If I told you that the baby that died back then was just a substitute..."

"Don't even think about bewitching me with evil words!" Zhamu stood up tremblingly, and said excitedly: "You guys just wait to go to hell! And that Xiao Jingchen, if he dares to come, I will cut off his head to comfort the prince's spirit in heaven !"

"Hey! Let me tell you, what about you..." Zhuang Wan wanted to say something, but Zhamu had already walked away.

Really served!

Zhuang Wan sighed, helpless.

But Yan Cheng didn't show up until dark.She was a little relieved, thinking that this kid is not stupid.

At this time, Pang Ao was pacing back and forth anxiously in the camp of the Pingnan Army stationed outside Mangshan Pass.A few days passed, and there was no news from the Yueqi Camp. More than 100 people entered the Wushan Mountain and seemed to disappear. I don't know what happened. Is there anyone alive now?

"General, Your Highness wants you to go to the big tent to discuss matters!" The deputy general came into the tent and said.

"Okay." Pang Ao hurried to go, so anxious to discuss matters late at night, he must be discussing whether to attack or not to attack Nanyi.

On the way, the deputy general said again: "General, I heard that Mr. Rong is here."

"Mr. Rong is here?" Pang Ao breathed a sigh of relief: "It will be easy if Mr. Rong is here."

Inside Xiao Jingchen's big tent.

Everyone insisted on their own opinions, one is the retreat faction dominated by Han Wei.He thinks that there has been no news of the Yueqi camp entering the Wushan Mountain so far, which means that there is more than good luck.I can only go back with my teacher first, and fight with him later.

The second is the main attacking faction headed by Pang Ao, who believes that Nanyi has always been a confidant that has affected Dayan's southwest peace all these years. This time, he cannot let the tiger go back to the mountain. Frequent troubles, if this continues, when will it end?This carbuncle should have been pulled out long ago.

The two sides insisted on their own opinions and quarreled inextricably.

When Pang Ao saw that Rong Li was silent, he said, "Mr. Rong, you already understand the situation, do you think this Nanyi will be beaten or not?"

Rong Li glanced at Xiao Jingchen and knew what was going on in his heart.Ten years ago, when the army stopped in the Wushan Mountains, Motu was able to escape to the sky, which was a shame in his heart, even worse than the wound on his forehead.Now the same situation is waiting for his choice.

If he was still the boy back then, even though there were mountains of knives and a sea of ​​fire in front of him, he would definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and tear Motu to pieces.But after all, he is no longer just relying on his age, and he can't take hundreds of thousands of troops to take risks.

"General Pang is right!" Rong Li said, "General Han's worries are not unreasonable, but the matter is of great importance, and whether to retreat or fight needs to be carefully decided. Why don't you go back first, let His Highness think twice, and make a decision tomorrow .”

"Okay! Then we will wait for the prince's ruling!" Pang Ao stepped back first, and Han Wei opened his mouth to say a few more words, so he had to give up.

After they left, Xiao Jingchen said, "Do you also think that this king is indecisive?"

Rong Li sighed lightly, did not answer, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you know that among the children in the village when I was young, I was the most courageous. I rushed to the forefront of everything and did whatever I wanted , If you make a mistake, you will only be beaten once. But when I grow up, I start to look forward and backward, and I am timid, because I know that if I do wrong, it is no longer as simple as being beaten."

"If your Highness fails to attack Nanyi this time, the loss of soldiers will not be mentioned, and it will be detrimental to the great cause if it is passed to Beijing."

"So..." Xiao Jingchen said lightly, "You don't advocate that this king should attack Nanyi, do you?"

Rong Li cupped his hands and said, "Rong Li is just weighing the pros and cons and giving His Highness the most appropriate suggestion. This is the duty of a counselor."

"So, the people in the southwest will still be harassed by the Nanyi all the year round, and Motu is still entrenched on one side, laughing at this king's incompetence!!!" Xiao Jingchen's voice suddenly rose.

"Your Highness..." Rong Li said, "I understand His Highness's difficulties, but..."

"Go down first!" Xiao Jingchen rubbed his temples: "I'm tired!"

"Yes!"

"Wait..." Xiao Jingchen paused, "Call Mu Qiulan here!"

Rong Li hesitated for a moment: "Yes!"

Mu Qiulan's residence is actually not far from Xiao Jingchen's big tent, but Xiao Jingchen didn't call her over these few days, so she went to Huotou Camp to help.

Although what happened that day has passed, she and Xiao Jingchen seem to have a knot in their hearts.

"How did the girl do this?" Rong Li looked at Mu Qiulan who was kneading dough and asked.

He already knew that Mu Qiulan went up the mountain to collect herbs to cure the five-step snake's venom, so he admired this weak-looking girl a little more.

"It's nothing." Mu Qiulan smiled and said, "Anyway, I have nothing to do."

The old beggar came over and said, "With Miss A Chou's help, we all save a lot of trouble. Mr. Rong doesn't know that the steamed buns made by A Chou girl are delicious!"

"But..." Rong Li cleared his throat: "Young lady still has to serve the lord, so I don't need to worry about these things.

"..."

The movements of Mu Qiulan's hands stopped.

Seeing this, the old beggar hurriedly said: "That's true, Miss A Chou, then go and see what the prince has ordered, and I will leave it to Xiao Man here."

As he spoke, he called Xiao Man over: "You little bastard knows how to steal and play tricks, so hurry up and take this side to wake up."

Mu Qiulan was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Mr. Rong, what is your order?"

"My lord only lets you pass."

Mu Qiulan nodded: "Okay, I'll wash my hands first."

Tonight, the moon is dim, and the evening wind is blowing, which is a bit cool on the body.

The wind blew the curtain, and when it was opened and closed, Mu Qiulan saw Xiao Jingchen propping his forehead with his hands, showing pain on his face.

It must have been another headache.

Although she doesn't understand such things as marching and fighting, rumors about whether to fight or retreat have been rampant in the barracks recently.

She prayed that Zhuang Wan and the others were safe every day, but after these few days passed, she knew in her heart that they were in danger.
