Chapter 1003: The Conspiracy Revealed
That night, Long Xuan led the officers and soldiers of the fourth battalion of the capital to set off and went straight to the front line.
Ten days later, Long Yin also set off.
Everyone in the capital was in fear, and the situation of the war was discussed every day.
From time to time, news comes from the front, it is nothing more than that today you win, tomorrow I lose, and the war is in a stalemate.
About a month later, news of Xilin's victory came from the front.
Xilin's marshal Yin Lan was seriously injured and fled, and the rest of the important generals were either killed or captured alive, and those generals who were captured alive were personally escorted to the capital by the eldest prince Long Xuan.
This is the news that everyone in the capital heard.
For a time, the capital laughed and rejoiced.
However, what everyone didn't know was that Long Xuan personally held it, as well as the second prince Long Yin and a few generals from Xilin.
……
The capital, outside the city gates.
Long Jing waited outside the city gate with hundreds of civil and military officials.
Today is the day of the return of the triumphant army, and Long Jing came today to welcome the triumphant army.
Da-da-da-da!
Da-da-da-da!
Soon, there was a rush of horses' hooves.
Soon, a soldier came at a gallop on horseback, and then turned over and dismounted in front of Long Jing.
"Your Majesty, the triumphant army has arrived, about three miles away, and will arrive at once. The soldier bowed and reported.
"Hmm. Long Jing nodded.
……
Sure enough, soon, they heard the sound of horses' hooves rumbling.
Immediately afterward, I saw the army coming quickly, and in a moment it was in front of me.
The leader is none other than Long Xuan.
Of course, these people are not all of them, but important generals and ten thousand pioneers.
The rest of the army was still on their way.
After coming to Long Jing, Long Xuan dismounted with all the soldiers, and then knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "The sons (ministers) have seen their father (Your Majesty). ”
"Xuan'er, please get up. Long Jing stepped forward and personally helped his son.
Then, he looked at the soldiers in front of him, and there was a hint of warmth in his majestic voice: "Everyone, please get up, you have worked hard." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. The crowd rose to their feet.
"Come on, serve the wine. Full for our heroes. Long Jing said loudly.
So, someone held the wine jar and filled a large bowl of wine for each of the more than 10,000 soldiers.
"Come, I give you a toast, congratulations on your victory, and thank you for defending Xilin from violation. Long Jing raised a large bowl of wine and said loudly.
With that, he drank it in one gulp.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. The others drank it too.
"Alright, let's go into town. Long Jing raised his hand and shouted, then turned over and got on his horse, surrounded by everyone, and went to the city gate.
The others also mounted their horses and followed.
……
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
Long Jing no longer had the smile he had just now, and listened to Long Xuan's story about this war with a gloomy face.
Of course, this is not what the war report says.
Long Xuan's main report now is about the collusion between Long Yin and the Demon Spirit Kingdom.
In fact, before the news of the invasion of the Demon Spirit Kingdom came, Long Xuan had secretly met his father and told Long Jing about Long Yin's plan, and presented some evidence......
Long Jing was skeptical at the time, but when the Demon Spirit Kingdom really invaded, he felt that what Long Xuan said might be true......
So, in order to verify Long Xuan's words, Long Jing did not refuse Long Yin's request and sent him out.
At the same time, he instructed the spies in the various military camps under his command to pay attention to Long Yin's movements, and if anything was wrong, immediately notify the eldest prince.
Of course, Long Jing did not completely tell Long Xuan about all this deployment, only saying that he would send someone to pay attention to Long Yin.
After Long Yin arrived at the front line, there was nothing abnormal, until one day, Long Xuan told him that he was going to risk his life, and after fighting with the army of the Demon Spirit Country, he feigned defeat and fled to a valley, so that Long Yin could lead his troops to ambush there in advance, and after the army of the Demon Spirit Kingdom entered the valley, he would flank him together.
Of course, what Long Yin didn't know was that this was a test.
Sure enough, Long Yin was fooled and told Yin Lan about Long Xuan's plan, but instead let the great army of the Demon Spirit Kingdom ambush there first.
After Long Jing's secret agent found out all this, he reported it to Long Xuan, so Long Xuan first secretly took down Long Yin, and then came to a praying mantis to catch cicadas, and Huang Que followed behind, surrounded the army of the Demon Spirit Country that was ambushed there, and took most of the main force of the Demon Spirit Country in one fell swoop......
Yin Lan saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly led his cronies to escape.
……
"This rebel. Long Jing's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and scolded.
Until now, Long Jing couldn't believe that his second son dared to do such a rebellious thing.
"By the way, Xuan'er, last time you said that a friend told you about the collusion between that rebel son and the Demon Spirit Kingdom, and my father didn't ask in detail at that time. Now that I suddenly remember, you haven't told your father yet, who is that friend of yours?" Long Jing asked.
Long Xuan hesitated for a moment, and then with a hint of embarrassment: "Father, it's not that Erchen deliberately concealed his father, it's really that Erchen's friend is quite mysterious, and it is inconvenient to tell his father before they agree, and ask his father to forgive him." ”
"Oh?!"
Long Jing raised his eyebrows, but he was not angry.
The main reason is that Long Jing knows that Long Xuan knows a lot of famous figures in the rivers and lakes and big names of the big sect, and those characters do not have much fear of the royal family, nor do they need the royal protection, but sometimes the royal family needs their help.
So, it doesn't do much good to them off.
"Then you can discuss it with him, and if you can, I want to meet him. ”
"Yes, Father. Long Xuan nodded.
……
The next day, in the morning.
The First Medical Hall of the Demon Realm.
Long Xuan came early in the morning to visit Moon Fall City and Jun Mohan.
This time, Yue Chengcheng and Jun Mohan didn't let him wait longer, and went to see him after half a cup of tea.
"A son, a lady, this time Xiao Wang is here to thank you. ”
As soon as he saw Yue Chengcheng and Jun Mohan, Long Xuan hurriedly got up, and then bowed down.
"This time, thanks to the two of you for your prior warning. If it weren't for the reminder of the two, Xiao Wang and the Xilin army would have suffered a big loss this time. ”
"Your Royal Highness King Xuan doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat. Jun Mohan was still in his usual cold style, and waved his hand.
The two sides sat down separately.
After taking a few sips of tea, Long Xuan said his other purpose......
"A son, a lady, Xiao Wang is here this time, and there is another matter, I want to ask for the opinions of the two. Long Xuan cautiously looked at Jun Mohan and Yue Cheng Dao.
"His Royal Highness King Xuan, please speak. Jun Mohan said lightly.
"That's right, earlier, Xiao Wang told his father that it was a friend who reminded Xiao Wang first, but without the consent of the two, Xiao Wang did not dare to reveal the identities of the two. Now, my father wants to see the two, I wonder if the two of them agree?" Long Xuan said with a hint of expectation and apprehension.
