Chapter 648: Settled

Gu Qingwei and Chu Yannan hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally had a lot to say. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Chu Yannan also knew the opportunity, and knew that what Gu Qingwei wanted to do most now must be to read the letter written by Ning Zhiyuan alone, so he didn't stay long, and after a while, he said goodbye to Gu Qingwei on the grounds of Princess Zhuang's ban.

After sending Chu Yannan away, Gu Qingwei returned to the room almost as fast as she could.

Sending the maids down, she first held Brother Sheng in her arms, and then picked up the letter that she had glanced at before.

In the letter, Ning Zhiyuan first reported his safety, and then told her what happened in the border city.

Looking at the content of the letter, Gu Qingwei still couldn't believe his eyes for a while.

King Ning fled to Xiyi, and colluded with the Xiyi people, ready to invade the Great Zhou at any time, Gu Qingwei originally thought that with the participation of King Ning, the Xiyi people should be able to become the henchmen of the Great Zhou, at least the war in the border city would have to last for more than half a year or so.

Unexpectedly, since Ning Zhiyuan left, it has only been two months, and the war in the border city has roughly come to an end.

In fact, King Ning did play a great role in the Xiyi people's invasion of the Great Zhou.

Xiyi people have lived on horseback since they were born, and because the living environment is extremely harsh and brave by nature, almost every Xiyi person can be regarded as a qualified war, but the territory of Xiyi is not large, and the population is sparse, so although it has been ready to move over the years, it is not enough to bring much threat to the Great Zhou.

King Ning originally thought that with his joining, with his understanding of Da Zhou, plus that Da Zhou and even the border city were all people he had arranged a long time ago, it should be very easy to take the border city and slowly advance towards Da Zhou on this basis.

It's just that King Ning didn't expect that there would be a struggle for the throne between the princes of the Great Zhou, and there would also be such a cruel struggle between several princes of Xiyi.

For example, the third prince of Xiyi who Ning Jingchangsheng captured last time was the prince who was most likely to inherit the throne before.

The third prince almost reached Xiyi with Ning Jingchang's front foot, and he was captured with his back foot.

Ning Jingchang's victory, as well as the capture of the third prince of Xiyi, naturally there are two people in front of the third prince.

In short, just like the previous Emperor Longqing and King Ning.

The third prince was originally the most trusted by the current King of Xiyi, but now that he has been captured, most of them will not be able to come back, and the throne in the future will not be about to fall on the head of the eldest prince and the second prince?

However, only one person can inherit the throne, but there are two princes, so what is the best of all?

These two princes all knew what kind of deal King Ning had with Xiyi, and of course they also longed for the big cake drawn by King Ning, but instead of helping King Ning attack the Great Zhou, these two princes thought more about how to kill their elder brother (younger brother) and make themselves the sole heir to the throne.

At that time, even if they send troops to the Great Zhou, they will fight for themselves.

If you don't divide the winners and losers between the brothers first, if you finally make efforts to conquer some territory, but in the end you can only cheapen your brothers because you can't inherit the throne, wouldn't it be empty joy?

Under such circumstances, Xiyi naturally became chaotic.

Originally, this chaos could be barely controlled, but until a certain time, when the eldest prince led his troops into battle, the second prince thought that this was a good opportunity to get rid of competitors, so he quietly led people to make trouble......

In short, the chaos has never been able to be controlled again.

The two princes are like this, and the Xiyi army is naturally divided into two factions, and it is too late to fight back and forth, so where can they take care of anything else?

Therefore, for a period of time, although the armies of Xiyi and the Great Zhou had contact with each other, the Xiyi people were finally defeated and returned, and most of them were defeated by their own hands.

It wasn't until later that King Ning couldn't hold back anymore.

If these two princes, who only have long heads and no brains, continue to play nonsense, where is the possibility of realizing his lofty ambitions?

So, King Ning unveiled his hole cards and bluntly told King Xiyi that he still had a back hand in the Great Zhou, saying that King Xiyi personally led the troops and wanted to take down the border city in one fell swoop.

With such a good thing, where can King Xiyi not come down?

With King Xiyi personally leading the troops, of course the two princes didn't dare to use any small means, everyone thought that this time they would definitely be able to capture the border city, after all, King Ning had someone in the border city.

King Ning's person is the general Liu, that is, the husband of the Chen family.

The general is a third product, in today's border city, Ning Jingchang has the post of chief soldier, and the following is the deputy general and the general.

It was precisely because General Liu Shen's status was not low, so whether it was General Han or Ning Jingchang, who was recuperating from his injuries, he did not suspect him too much, so when it was General Liu's turn to lead the troops to patrol the night, he quietly went to King Ning to get the news.

After that, General Liu Shen ordered his henchmen to secretly open the city gate, and he went to Ning Jingchang under the pretext of having important matters to discuss.

Ning Jingchang only thought that General Liu had some opinion on the war, and where he would be suspicious, so he naturally invited him in.

Naturally, when General Liu pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed at Ning Jingchang when he was defenseless, Ning Jingchang didn't have time to dodge.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Yi also happened to be discussing in Ning Jingchang's room at that time, seeing this, he stretched out his hand and pulled it, but he was afraid that the dagger that went towards Ning Jingchang's heart would be stabbed.

But even so, under the sneak attack of General Liu, Ning Jingchang was still seriously injured, but fortunately, his life was not endangered.

This is a great blessing in disguise.

Xu Yi was worried about Ning Jingchang's injury, but asked General Liu to take the opportunity to escape, and then the entire border city was in chaos.

The Xiyi people quietly entered from the open city gate, and killed the Great Zhou soldiers by surprise, Ning Jingchang, the general, was seriously injured, if it wasn't for Xu Yi standing up in time and leading people to fight back, I don't know how much the Great Zhou soldiers would have lost.

But after all, the Xiyi people are calculating or unintentional, even if Xu is good at commanding, they will not be defeated in the end.

At this critical time, Ning Zhiyuan, like that strange soldier, led him to take the holy decree of Emperor Longqing and transferred the soldiers from several other border towns from the sky, and cooperated with Xu Qi to almost completely annihilate the Xiyi army, and even the king of Xiyi and the two princes were captured alive.

In this way, Xiyi naturally has no strength to fight again.

Seeing this, Gu Qingwei's mood finally settled down after following the content of the letter.

Ning Zhiyuan is safe, although Ning Jingchang was injured, but fortunately, he did not worry about his life, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
