The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Chapter 398 Gu Yufan’s secret guard misses

When the two armies first met, the secret guard made this suggestion, but it was rejected by Gu Yufan.

Because he didn't think he would lose, he naturally wanted to capture Qi Guogong alive, and take Qi Guogong back to threaten Qi Chengjun and Qi Chenglang.

Of course, the most important thing is Qi Chenglang!

But he never expected that in just a few days, the situation would take a turn for the worse. Although the number of people on his side was still the majority, it was obvious that the morale of the army was somewhat weakened.

Duke of Qi...

Ling Jinhua, who had been silent and silent, suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please let the secret guards go."

She turned to look at the secret guard with red eyes: "If you succeed, remember to bring back the head of Duke Qi!"

The secret guard said nothing and only looked at Gu Yufan.

After a while, Gu Yufan nodded solemnly: "Since Qi Guogong, an old man, doesn't give me face, then I don't have to keep his life."

The secret guard turned to leave, but Ling Jinhua said: "Your Highness, Qi Guogong was born in the military, and he is already very skilled in martial arts. In addition, the two armies are currently at war. Qi Guogong naturally has many generals around him. If only one person is left, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed."

She frowned slightly and glanced at the secret guard. Her eyes were full of worry about whether the trip would be successful, and she didn't mean to look down on the secret guard at all: "So, Your Highness..."

She bit her lower lip and continued: "Otherwise, let's send out the secret guards together, right?"

When intercepting Qi Chenglang, a group of Gu Yufan's secret guards were killed. Later, when Qi Chengjun was kidnapped and killed, the secret guards suffered many casualties. The number of secret guards around Gu Yufan was obviously running low.

As long as all these secret guards are dispatched, she won't have to worry as much as before.

As for whether the secret guards would succeed, Ling Jinhua lowered her eyes slightly. She would naturally have a way to make the other party fail.

Gu Yufan was naturally a little uneasy when the secret guards were not around, but what Ling Jinhua said made sense. If one or two secret guards were there, they would just be delivering food.

Just when Gu Yufan was hesitating, Ling Jinhua spoke again: "Your Highness, you don't have to worry too much. The secret guards are very agile, and it only takes an hour to get back and forth..."

It's a good deal to exchange the hour's uneasiness for Qi Guogong's old life!
Gu Yufan nodded solemnly and said: "In that case, you should have a good rest. When it gets a little later, you can find a way to sneak into the Lingnan Navy. You must kill that old man!"

The secret guard glanced at Ling Jinhua deeply, feeling uneasy in his heart.

But after Ling Changshi died, they also investigated Ling Jinhua for a period of time, but found no problems.

The secret guard responded in a low voice and quickly walked out.

When there were only two people in the room, Ling Jinhua boldly stepped forward and squeezed Gu Yufan's shoulders: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness. I will go to the kitchen and make you something to eat."

Before Gu Yufan could refuse, Ling Jinhua continued: "I know that Your Highness doesn't like Jiangnan cuisine, so I have learned Beijing cuisine from the chefs in the mansion."

"Your Highness has been tired and worried these days. He is much thinner than before coming here. Please let me do my best."

Hearing that it was a dish from the capital, Gu Yufan nodded, turned around and scraped the tip of Ling Jinhua's nose: "In that case, you go ahead. If the food is to my liking, I will reward you heavily!"

Ling Jinhua walked out with a smile. As soon as the door was closed, her face darkened. She turned around and went into the house to grab something, and then slowly walked into the kitchen. She directed the people in the kitchen around, and when everyone was too busy to pay attention, she sprinkled the medicinal powder into a separate large pot next to it.

As the soup boiled, the medicinal powder quickly disappeared.

Ling Jinhua threw the powdered paper into the stove without changing her expression. After destroying the body and removing traces of it, she stared at everyone in the kitchen again.

The secret guards didn't know that Ling Jinhua had plotted against them. After eating a warm meal and taking a short rest, they secretly went ashore, bit by bit from the shore into the Lingnan Navy's territory, and then sneaked into the water.

After finally finding the ship where Duke Qi was, he suddenly felt a severe abdominal pain as he stood on the deck before he could sneak attack the soldiers on the deck.

All the secret guards were not spared. They all knelt down, holding their stomachs, with unbearable pain on their faces.

They were sweating profusely and their limbs were sore. They looked at each other and were about to turn around and leave, but if they didn't want to move even a little bit, they couldn't bear it anymore.

The sound of farts coming one after another quickly attracted the attention of the soldiers on the deck, who quickly rushed over.

Before they even got close, they smelled a particularly unpleasant smell, which made the soldiers almost spit out their overnight meals.

The secret guards could no longer control themselves and all had diarrhea.

Little did they know that Ling Jinhua had put a large amount of croton powder in the soup tonight in order to make these people fail in their action tonight.

The deck suddenly became lively. The soldiers saw that although these people were slumped on the ground and exuding a stench, they were wearing night clothes and appeared on the deck inexplicably. They must not be good people. They endured the stench and tied these people up. stand up.

The Duke of Qi was soon called over by his confidant. He knew at a glance that these people were up to no good, so he naturally would not be polite. He had their tendons cut and waited for the effect of the croton powder to wear off before letting them rinse in the river before interrogating them.

When Qi Guogong returned to the room, he heard the military doctor say: "My lord, when I checked my pulse just now, I found that these people have deep internal strength and are all martial arts masters. If they hadn't been drugged in advance, they wouldn't have been discovered so easily. of."

Duke Qi snorted coldly: "These people must be sent by Gu Yufan to assassinate me! I just don't know who is helping me behind the scenes."

The confidants didn't know, but secretly speculated that it might be a certain naval general who was afraid of being condemned by the emperor after the defeat, so he wanted to use this method to show his goodwill.

Duke Guo of Qi thought for a while with a sullen face: "There is still no news about the letter sent to Huizhou?"

The generals shook their heads, their faces darkened, and they all clearly understood that Prince Qi must also be in danger.

After a while, the Duke of Qi said: "Send the order, at three o'clock tonight, we will launch another attack!"

The main generals of the opponent are still injured, and the people Gu Yufan sent to assassinate him have also been caught. This moment is a good time to counterattack.

"The defeat of the Jiangnan Navy in the daytime is a time when morale will rise greatly. You must reward the soldiers well after you return."

"After we win the battle tonight, I will ask the buyers to buy some good food tomorrow!"

During this time, eating fish from the river makes everyone want to vomit!
But now that the situation is grim, no one dares to ask for something different.

So after hearing what Duke Qi said, everyone felt very motivated and agreed in unison.
