A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 976 Are You Still Alive?

It was September of this year when the news of King Wu's death in battle reached the capital.

The battle at the border has reached a stalemate.

When the news came back, not only the monarchs and ministers were in an uproar, but also the people in the capital were in disbelief.

King Yin Wu, the god of war known as the Living Hades, died in the battle with the Jinlin Kingdom!
Earlier, under Meng Yan's order, Chongyi cut off contact with Chongxian. Now when she wanted to take the initiative to get in touch, she found that she couldn't get in touch for a while.

So Meng Yan and Chongyi received the same news from the northern border as what was spread out - King Yin Wu died in battle.

Meng Yan frowned, concentrating on her thoughts and not saying a word.Her complexion is not very good.

Chongyi was silent for a long while, but couldn't help but said: "Did the lord go as planned and retreat smoothly? If this is the case, should the princess on our side also leave the capital as soon as possible? "

"Something is wrong." Meng Yan looked a little cold, and said in a low voice, "Although I still don't know what went wrong, but the news of his death should never come out at this time."

Meng Yan didn't know the specific situation in the northern border, but the moment was definitely not a good time.The war between the two countries is still pending, and Jin Lin has not retreated and surrendered. At this time, when the news of King Yin Wu's death spreads, what will happen?

It will cause chaos in the frontier army and boost Jin Lin's morale.Then Jin Lin took advantage of the situation to attack again, and the people in the northern border were devastated!

Meng Yan has been married to him for many years, so how could he not understand him, according to his past behavior, he should retreat after the war between the two countries subsides and the border is stabilized.

But now that he is "dead", who will fight against Jin Lin?

Things will only get more complicated.

Then Meng Yan said: "Chongyi, you go to investigate again, find a way to contact Chongxian and the others, and find out what happened in the northern border."

"Yes."

At this time, the whole court has not recovered from the news of King Wu's death.

The battle report from the frontier did clearly record that in the latest battle, the Great Yin army suffered a terrible defeat, and King Wu of Yin was set up in an ambush. He had already invaded the territory of Jinlin Kingdom, but was buried by an avalanche and mountain cracks. Survived.

The emperor slumped on the dragon chair. If even King Wu of Yin died in the northern border, who else in Great Yin would be Jin Lin's opponent?

Chongyi went out to investigate for a few days, and then received a letter, which said "Princess Princess", which seemed to be sent from the northern border.

Because the origin of this letter is the communication channel established by Chongyi, Chongxian and Chongxiao, and it is impossible to know unless someone is familiar with it.

So Chongyi immediately brought the letter back to Meng Yan to have a look.

However, Meng Yan took the letter, quickly opened it and read it, her expression confused.

Chongyi asked: "What did the prince say in the letter?"

Meng Yan handed the letter paper to her and said slowly, "It wasn't written by the prince."

Chongyi scanned it quickly and frowned.

The content of the letter said that the prince has other arrangements for the northern border, and now Chongyi is required to escort Meng Yan to the empty house under the name of the prince's mansion at the north city gate. leave the city.

According to Yin Heng's original plan, it should have been carried out in this way.

After the news of his death in battle came from the northern border, Chongyi was supposed to escort Meng Yan out of the city as soon as possible.It's just that the news spread a bit early.

Meng Yan said something was wrong, Chongyi didn't know how to make a decision for a moment, and asked: "What should I do now? Do you want to follow the letter and pack your bags and go to the empty house?"

Meng Yan asked, "Who do you think wrote this letter?"

Chongyi took a closer look and said, "It looks like Chongxiao's handwriting."

Relatively speaking, she is more familiar with Chongxian's characters, but not so familiar with Chongxiao's characters, she just looks like it at a glance.

Meng Yan said: "Don't be in a hurry to clean up, go to the empty house to see the situation first."

She didn't intend to leave immediately, what if she and Chongyi left without a sound, leaving behind the whole family of Wangfu?
You have to find a way to disperse and settle them before they can leave.

It's just that Meng Yan also wants to know the situation in the northern border, and hopes to learn some clues from this letter.

Chongyi nodded, and immediately went to prepare the carriage.

Afterwards, Meng Yan and Chong Yi went out to the house on the other side of the northern city in a light car.

Meng Yan was very cautious, and did not enter the deserted house unprepared, but found a place nearby to settle down.Chongyi sent secret guards to investigate first.

Meng Yan and Chongyi didn't wait long, and the secret guards spoke back and forth, saying that there was nothing unusual in the house.

Only then did Meng Yan and Chongyi go there in person.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw a carriage parked in the courtyard.Chongyi used his scabbard to pick up the curtain of the car and took a look, the car was really full of coils.

Chongyi looked back at Meng Yan, and was about to speak, but when her eyes inadvertently touched Meng Yan's back, she was shocked.

Meng Yan noticed something strange, and immediately turned her head. Before she had time to see the figure under the eaves behind her, she heard a respectful and polite call: "Princess."

The voice sounded very familiar, but it had been gone for a long time.

She looked intently, and was instantly as shocked as Chongyi.

The person under the eaves slowly walked down the steps to the courtyard. He was dressed in black, with a gentle appearance, and he was still the same as before, not changing at all.

Meng Yan and Chongyi felt strange and familiar to him.

Meng Yan said: "Chongli, you are still alive?"

How could the two not be surprised that the person who was clearly dead at the beginning was standing in front of her and Chongyi intact at this moment.

Chongli bowed and said: "It's a long story. At the beginning, my subordinate was plotted against and seriously injured. Later, when I had to, I simply resorted to tricks and contacted the prince in secret, so as to avoid people's eyes and ears. It is more convenient to do things. There are many concealments for this. I also ask the princess to forgive me."

Meng Yan was puzzled and asked, "Have you already contacted the prince?"

Chongli said: "After the prince's northern expedition, his subordinates rushed to the northern border to make peace with the prince."

Meng Yan asked, "How about the situation in the northern border?"

Chongli showed a serious look on his face, and said: "The situation is not optimistic. The Jinlin people are too aggressive and good at fighting. They have prepared for many years and have accumulated a lot of money. Even this time, the prince leads the army. It is not enough. Now the subordinates quietly return to Beijing in the name of the prince. , escort the princess to leave Beijing immediately. The prince has other arrangements in the north."

Meng Yan said: "What plans does he have? The news of his death has spread. What's going on?"

Chongli pursed his lips, and under Meng Yan's gaze, he had no choice but to say: "Princess, don't worry, the prince didn't die in battle. He just... surrendered to Jinlin."

Meng Yan frowned: "Have you surrendered to Jinlin?"

Chongli explained again: "Your Highness is just pretending to surrender, not really surrendering. He wants to take this opportunity to break into Jinlin's interior and start to disintegrate from the inside."

Without waiting for Meng Yan to speak again, Chongli said again: "It's not too late, please leave the capital quickly. Go out of the city gate today, all the way to the north, and you can reach the northern border to reunite with the prince in less than a month."
