At this time, in the camp of the rebel commander outside the city.

Looking at the city defense map of Liyang County on the table in front of him, Gong Yuanhao frowned, leaned back in his chair for a long time and sighed, with tiredness and hostility in his eyes.

This is the blueprint obtained by sacrificing almost all the lives of Anzai in the city, but after these few battles, they have fully proved that the defense on this blueprint should prove an old saying, "It is true when it is false. Really', so that they simply can't figure it out.

Maybe he was wrong from the beginning.

Originally thought that Liyang County was the weakest place among all the counties and counties leading to the capital, but I didn't expect that the Ninth Princess would send Duan Fanghong, the Dingyuan General Duan Fanghong, who had a long history in the field and was good at deploying troops, to take command, and also mobilized Ziyi Wei, Ningyuan Army and Shenwu Battalion supported them, making it difficult for them to move forward.

He really underestimated Princess Nine.

At this time, the curtain was lifted, and Gong Yingjie walked in with a solemn expression, and presented the secret report he had just received to his father with both hands.

"Father, Amu Gulang was exposed and poisoned by Mo Xuan's secret poison, and life would be worse than death, and the nine princesses left Zhou Kingdom more than ten days ago, and their current whereabouts are unknown;

In addition, all our hidden piles in the north, the stored grain, grass and weapons were all destroyed. Although Hua Zhiyu transferred 100 million shi of grain, before leaving Beiyuan County, Yue Wang led people to intercept it;

In addition, the counties and counties adjacent to Jiuyuan County have secretly increased their military defenses, but almost everyone who has a little relationship with us and their family members have been secretly arrested and detained by the Purple Guards. It seems to be encircling Jiuyuan County. "

After whispering the contents of the secret report, Gong Yingjie was shocked and ashamed.

Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, the nine princesses ruined Amu Gulang's careful planning for many years. If it were him, it would be impossible for him to do so.

What he didn't even expect was that Princess Nine escaped countless assassinations and returned to China safely ten days ago. They wiped out their forces in the north and at the same time mobilized troops to surround Jiuyuan County. They didn't receive the news until now. How could this be? Doesn't it frighten him inexplicably?

As everyone knows, Qingyun and Princess Wuyun deliberately disclosed these news, otherwise they might not know it until they die.

After receiving the secret report from his son and reading it, it turned into shredded paper and scattered from his hands. Gong Yuanhao opened his mouth to say something when he suddenly felt a fishy sweetness in his throat, and spit out a mouthful of blood. A coquettish blood flower was rendered, and his face instantly turned pale as paper.

"Father..." Gong Yingjie was shocked when he saw this, and hurried forward and called anxiously: "Father, how are you? Come, send the military doctor!"

Waving his hand to stop his son from panicking, Gong Yuanhao glanced at his son, and then at his own chest.

After reacting, Gong Yingjie immediately stood in front of his father. This is an extraordinary period. If the soldiers knew that his father was seriously ill, it would definitely affect their morale.

Without looking back, he dismissed the guard who came in immediately after hearing the order. Gong Yingjie took out a small porcelain bottle from his father's chest, poured out a pill and served it carefully for his father. Although she was a little pale, but gradually there was a tinge of blood, and then she was slightly relieved.

"Father, are you feeling better?"

"Remnant..."

Gong Yuanhao wanted to laugh at himself, but when he saw his son's worried and sad eyes, he hurriedly changed his words: "Don't worry, being a father is already much better."

Stretching out his hand to caress his father's back to comfort him, watching his father seem to have added a little white hair to his temples, and his whole body was tormented by the illness and quickly lost weight, Gong Yingjie was full of sorrow, secretly blaming himself for being incompetent for not sharing his father's worries .

Sensing his son's depressed mood, Gong Yuanhao sighed and said in a deep voice, "Yingjie, I've been sorry to you for my father these years."

Gong Yingjie paused when he heard the movement in his hand, stared blankly at his father's profile, and didn't know what to say for a moment: "Father..."

"In these years, for the sake of my father's long-cherished wish, I have strictly required you to be proficient in all aspects of literature and martial arts since childhood, and in order not to arouse the suspicion of the court, I have also required you to hide your ability to keep a low profile and be careful in doing things. Now because of your health, you have to rush into trouble , forcing you to get involved in this bloody turmoil is because of my father, I am sorry for you."

"Father, son..." Gong Yingjie's lips moved but he was speechless.

Pointing to the chair beside him, motioning for his son to sit down, Gong Yuanhao looked at him and continued, "It's all my father's fault, my father didn't want you to go through the hardships of being a father, but I didn't expect that this would smooth it out." Your sharp edges and corners have become irritable and angry, and you can't hold your breath, which actually hurt you."

In fact, he knows that his son can be regarded as an outstanding young talent, but the good life of rich clothes and good food has consumed his son's heart and fighting spirit since he was a child. If not, his son would not be so distracted when encountering big things.

"No, it's not the father's fault, it's all because of the son's incompetence!" Gong Yingjie lowered his head and said in shame: "My son is several years older than the ninth princess, but not as smart and decisive as the nine princesses, and even has insight into the past. Ji secretly strategized, thinking about Zhou Xiang in everything, and his son let his father down."

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Gong Yuanhao's lips: "A woman like the Ninth Princess... can be said to be peerless!"

Should have known earlier, how could the daughter of those two people be mediocre?

Sima Shengrui (Emperor Huiwen's name taboo), how many lifetimes of blessings have you cultivated to get the most beautiful woman in the world?And such a smart daughter?

After several months of secret investigation, he finally found some clues, proving that Princess Jiu is indeed Sima Shengrui's biological daughter.

It's just that he didn't know why Sima Shengrui wanted to deceive the world into accepting the ninth princess as a righteous daughter.

"It's not even as good as a woman. My son has embarrassed his father." Gong Yingjie still lowered his head, his hands on his knees were clenched tightly and his knuckles were turning white.

Gathering away his unrest, looking at his dejected son, Gong Yuanhao sighed: "Does Yingjie know that in the heart of being a father, you have always been the best son, and your mind and strategy are not inferior to the nine princesses at all, but you lack the talent of experience. there will be deficiencies;

The reason why the Ninth Princess has the extraordinary wisdom and ability today is not only because of her own talent, but also because the Ninth Princess has lost her wits since she was a child. Comparable to ordinary people, coupled with Sima Shengrui's careful teaching, he would take Nine Princesses for private visits every year, so his knowledge and experience would naturally be much richer;

Although suffering can temper a person's will, but the father never wants you to have this experience, can you understand the painstaking efforts for the father? "

Regarding the fact that Princess Jiu is Sima Shengrui's own daughter, he doesn't want to tell his son for the time being, because there is no conclusive evidence, and because he is afraid that his son will act impulsively.

It was the first time that Gong Yingjie heard his father affirming himself, and Gong Yingjie's mood can be imagined. Seeing his father's eyes forming a layer of mist, he nodded heavily and said, "My son understands! My father always loves my son!"

Before he knew that his father was going to take back the throne, apart from the hard work of learning culture and martial arts, he really lived a more relaxed and comfortable life than the prince and those powerful children. He was really happy because he was not able to help his father to share his worries and relieve his labors.

"Perhaps it is because of my father's excessive love for you that I hurt you." Gong Yuanhao still had a slightly pale face full of worry and haze: "If it wasn't for this dilapidated body, if it wasn't for not wanting to carry regret If you don't die with peace, your father will not act in such a hasty way, and you will not face this bloody killing directly, and it is even possible... In the end, your father killed you."

"Father, don't say that, it's because the son is not filial, and he can't share the hardships for the father, but please don't worry, the father, after getting back what belongs to us, the son will search all over the world and heal the father. Live a hundred years!"

Blinking to get rid of the water in his eyes, Gong Yingjie said firmly: "In the future, my son will be in charge of the country, so this small tribulation is nothing at all."

"Okay! You are indeed my good son. This king is so consoling!" Looking at his energetic son, Gong Yuanhao laughed heartily, but he didn't want to affect his chronic illness, so he kept coughing.

Seeing this, Gong Yingjie hurriedly got up, stretched out his hand and patted his father's back, and said with concern: "Father, why don't you ask the military doctor to take a look?"

After waving his hand, Gong Yuanhao took a few deep breaths until his coughing stopped and his breath calmed down, then he looked at his son and said, "I know my father's body well, those military doctors just prescribed some decoctions that can slightly delay my father's illness, that's all. It doesn't really work."

Seeing that his son's eyes were red and he opened his mouth to say something, Gong Yuanhao waved his hand again: "Sit down, I have something to tell you to do for my father."

Gong Yingjie sat back on the chair as he said.

"If this king's prediction is correct, the ninth princess should be in the government office in the city at this moment." Gong Yuanhao's hale and hearty eyes flashed with a cold and murderous look: "Tonight, this king will take advantage of the siege to attack the city." Order people to secretly sneak into the government office and assassinate the ninth princess, while you take advantage of the chaos and leave with a thousand guards to leave the secret passage and go to the capital immediately!"

"How is this possible? Now is an extraordinary period, and the father's body is...how can the son leave at this time?" Gong Yingjie shook his head again and again.

"Because this is an extraordinary period, this king wants you to leave!"

Gong Yuanhao's stern words made Gong Yingjie's face turn pale, and he stared blankly at his father with his lips tightly pressed. Gong Yuanhao's heart softened: "This king knows that you are filial, but the ninth princess has already arrived in Liyang County, and you are still in love with Jiuyuan. The county has formed a siege, and this king can't sit still, do you understand?"

"My son understands!" Gong Yingjie quickly realized, "It's just what is my son going to do in the capital?"
