Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 573 The Inner Ghost
The soldier whose neck he pointed at with his sword trembled. Sweat dripped from his forehead and slid down his cheeks, with a mournful face, "Your Majesty, what... are you talking about? This subordinate doesn't understand."

Rong met him pretending to be stupid, and snorted coldly, "Really? Everyone here is dead, but you survived, and even came to report to my son, that's all, why are you intact, even fighting with others?" Are there any traces?"

The soldier was pale, stuttering, unable to speak.Rong Yu narrowed his eyes with a cold expression, waiting for his explanation, and made a vigilant gesture with the palm behind his back, and all the soldiers following him pressed their palms on the hilt of their swords and looked around.

"Subordinates...Subordinates are here to kill you!" The soldier panicked, and suddenly turned around, a cold light flashed in his sleeves, and a dagger struck Rong Yu's face, Rong Yu was startled , subconsciously dodge, the backhand is a sword, and what I see is the unwilling eyes of the soldiers before they die.

The soldier was stabbed in the heart by a sword, and instantly limp to the ground, dying of breath.This move was like a signal, layers of arrows shot towards Rong Yu and the others like rain, and the Wei soldiers who were ambushing around rushed out immediately.

Rong Yu hurriedly raised his hand to resist, while dodging the arrow feathers, he stepped back with an ugly expression, "Back! Back!"

Ever since he found out that the soldier had a problem, he felt a wave of uneasiness in his heart. He didn't expect that the other party would sneak into the city with so many people, which was really unimaginable.It's a pity that before he could think about it, the other party rushed over.

Rong Yu led the people to fight hard, but the other party had a large number of people, and they had planned an ambush long ago. Seeing that the people around him were constantly being damaged, Rong Yu gritted his teeth, his eyes flickered, and was suddenly caught by the confidant next to him. Pushing back, "My son, go!"

Seeing that he finished pushing himself, he rushed forward desperately, trying to block the enemy. Just as Rong Yu was about to rush forward, he saw him entangled with the nearest enemy, and he didn't forget to turn around and scream at himself, letting him he go.Rong Yu's eyes were red, but he turned his head and fled quickly.

Naturally, the movement here was not concealed from the front. Xia Qixuan felt strange seeing Rong Yu's delay in returning, and led someone straight to him. On the way, he saw Rong Yu running back covered in blood.

"Quick, enemy attack on the granary!" Rong Yu knelt down on one knee, thrust his sword into the ground, and supported himself. After saying this, he fainted from exhaustion.

Xia Qixuan's expression changed greatly, "Come here, help the prince go back to the tent to rest."

The soldiers behind him immediately stepped forward to help Rong Yu and walked towards the camp.Xia Qixuan drew out the long sword at his waist, "Follow me to the granary."

The Wei soldiers who set fire to the granary originally wanted to take the opportunity to ambush, kill Rongyu, or capture him alive, but Rongyu ran away, so he vented his anger here and pestered him, preventing him from chasing Rongyu on the man.

Xia Qixuan came in a hurry, and saw corpses scattered all over the place, and the culprit was about to run away, a flash of evil spirit flashed in his eyes, and he waved his hand, "Chasing! Don't let anyone go!"

The soldiers who came with him immediately rushed up like wolves and tigers, and they didn't stop until they caught all the soldiers of the Great Wei.Xia Qixuan looked at the only survivor who was being held in front of him, and sneered, "Tell me, how did you get into the city?"

This person is the leader of this operation, facing Xia Qixuan's questioning, he sneered twice and then closed his eyes.Seeing his expression of preferring death to submission, Xia Qixuan was actually amused, snorted coldly, and put the long sword directly on his neck, "Would you say so?"

"If you have the ability, you kill me, bah!" The man opened his eyes, as if he didn't know that his life was in Xia Qixuan's hands, instead he spat at him provocatively.

Xia Qixuan couldn't dodge in time, and he spit out his face directly. He was so angry that he was about to strike down with his sword.The soldiers beside him hastily stopped him, "Your Highness, no, this person is like this, he clearly wants to die. If His Highness just kills him like this, he will follow his way."

His own mind was exposed, this man couldn't help looking at the speaking soldier angrily, his gaze seemed to want to bite off a piece of flesh from him.Xia Qixuan came back to his senses, and seeing his expression, he burst out laughing immediately, and put the long sword back into the scabbard, "You are right, come and detain him, and I will interrogate him properly when the fighting ahead stops. "

These people crossed the sky and went into the city without alarming anyone. At first glance, it seemed that there was an inner ghost in the city. If they didn't find out, they would really have trouble sleeping and eating.Xia Qixuan watched him being taken away under escort, his eyes were deep and his brows were involuntarily frowned.

When these people were burning the granary, Xiao Fu, the magistrate of Yingzhou, was sitting at the table writing. Suddenly he felt panicked, and the pen in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".He subconsciously stood up, looked outside at the gradually darkening night, and sighed faintly.

After that, he saw the butler running over in a hurry, and immediately frowned.Seeing him push the door in, he said in a deep voice, "What happened? You are in such a panic."

I don't know how long this war will last, but no matter who wins or loses, it is the people of Yingzhou who are suffering. As the magistrate of Yingzhou, he has always only read documents and has no strength to restrain a chicken. He is very weak. At that time, there was no way to fight to protect the people of a city.Thinking of this, Xiao Fu couldn't help sighing.

"Master, there is news from the front that the granary was burned." The steward bowed respectfully, "Fortunately, His Royal Highness Zhangsun caught the person who burned the granary and is now interrogating him!"

"What?" Xiao Fu stood up suddenly, his eyes were full of shock, all kinds of thoughts turned in his mind, and he was burning with anxiety.

Food and grass have always been the foundation of soldiers and wars. If there is no food and grass, these soldiers may lose their teeth for less than three days.From the looks of it, the rich households can only be asked to come up with food and grass for emergencies.

The news was quickly passed to Xia Zijin through the carrier pigeons. After reading the contents of the letter, Xia Zijin sneered. Just like Rong Yu said, those soldiers from the Great Wei could sneak in so easily. There is a ghost in the city.

I don't know who it is that is meeting the other party in the city.Fortunately, Xia Qixuan was caught alive, if there was a way to find out who the spy was from his mouth, it would be no big deal.But according to what was said in the letter, the captured soldier had a very hard mouth and has not said a word until now. This is a lot of trouble.

Thinking of this, Xia Zijin was quite irritable. After hesitating for a moment, he called Zhenwen in and ordered him to lead the troops to escort the food and grass to Yingzhou for support.

After Zhenwen set off, Xia Zijin's uneasiness subsided a little.Most of the forces in the capital have been controlled by her.But she still didn't find out the trump card of Prince Lin's mansion.She already knew Lin Runyu's thoughts, but she didn't know what Lin Wang's attitude was.If she left the capital and went to the battlefield, the capital might fall into Lin Runyu's hands.

Xia Zijin felt restless for a while. Because of Lin Runyu's thoughts, this battle was destined to become more complicated.She couldn't help but get angry when she thought that this person had only tortured herself in the previous life, and now came to embarrass herself in this life.

In the dungeon where the prisoners were held in Yingzhou, Rong Yushan had a bandage on the next door, looked at the Wei soldiers who were hanging on the cross, sneered twice, grabbed the red-hot iron on the side and pressed it on him.

The shrill screams immediately resounded throughout the cell, causing the other prisoners to tremble all over, almost urinating in fright.However, the prisoner had endured such torture, and he still had no intention of letting go. He was still glaring at Rong Yu fiercely, with his mouth tightly shut.

Seeing him like this, Rong Yu couldn't help but sigh, if they weren't rivals, he couldn't help admiring the person in front of him.After all, not everyone can stand such torture.

It was beyond his expectation that the other party persisted to this point.Just as he was thinking, he heard footsteps, Rong Yu turned his head and saw Xiao Fu's figure, and immediately put down the iron, "I know why Master Xiao is here?"

"My lord, what did this man say?" Xia Xiaofu raised his hands, bowed to him, glanced at the prisoner calmly, and then asked with a frown.

"Never." Rong Yu shook his head, with regret in his expression, "It's really a hard bone, it's a pity that such a person is actually the enemy of this prince."

He shook his head while talking, the regret on his face was not half fake.The Wei soldier sneered, closed his eyes, and looked unwilling to answer.Xiao Fu turned around, stared at him intently, then turned his head and bowed to Rong Yu, "Your Majesty is injured, and I'm afraid this person won't admit it in a short time. You might as well go back and rest first, I'm here Interrogate him."

"Alright." Rong Yu took a deep look at him, then nodded, turned and left.

Looking at Rong Yu's back, Xiao Fu's pitch-black pupils had a trace of black lines. He stood there for a long time before turning around to look at the half-dead prisoner hanging on the shelf, and following what Rong Yu just did. interrogate him.

After Rong Yu returned to the tent, he heard the silhouette of a pigeon flapping its wings outside. After opening the curtain and walking out, a pigeon landed on his shoulder. He opened the envelope and glanced at it, and saw the names of the three people on it. , and Xia Zijin's analysis, his pupils shrank suddenly, he raised his head, looked around, got into the curtain, burned the letter, and his heart "thumped".

These three people were naturally the candidates Xia Zijin suspected, and Xiao Fu's name was included, as was Xia Qixuan's name, and the other was a soldier who had previously served under Xia Qin's command.

For the last two names, Rong Yu was understandable.But this Xiao Fu was personally recommended by Xia Zijin, so how could he be suspected.And this Xiao Fu, when he and Xia Zijin came to Yingzhou to relieve the disaster, he saw with his own eyes that he cared for the people.If he was really a spy, why did he help Xia Qin?
The more Rong Yu thought about it, the more he didn't understand, but Xia Zijin refused to make it clear in the letter, he had to guess everything by himself, it was really a big brain.
