After Zhou Rong and the others left the Yingwu Palace, Xiao Hong said to Xiao Di: "You should retreat first." ”

The crown prince Xiao Di hurriedly said: "The situation is so urgent at the moment, is there anything else that my father can't let his sons know?"

Xiao Hong coughed violently for a while, and only when he stopped did he say in a hoarse voice: "I'm tired, I want your mother to loosen my bones, do you want to stay?"

The prince then retreated in mockery.

After the prince left, Xiao Hong asked his personal father-in-law to step back, and then ordered the Liu family to lock the door, and then said with a worried face: "According to the words of these three Taoist priests, King Guangxian may have an accident as soon as he returns, and he will probably be able to return tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, what should we do then?"

Liu Shi was extremely calm at this time, and said: "Your Majesty, this country is ours, not his, are we still afraid that he will not be alone?"

Xiao Hong suddenly patted his head and said, "I'm really sick and confused." ”

King Guangxian only had a total of more than 10,000 soldiers for him to command, and at this time, those soldiers were in the northwest, and as soon as he entered the palace, it was equivalent to entering Xiao Hong's territory, so they didn't need to be afraid of him at all.

"But he's not an ordinary person after all, and I'm afraid he'll use a trick this time. Xiao Hong was not without worries.

Liu Shi still said calmly: "Even if he uses a trick again, the palace is full of our people, and the troops in the capital are all at your disposal, as long as you give an order, the soldiers can immediately besiege the city, and even if he has the ability at that time, he will not be able to escape from our palms." ”

Xiao Hong nodded, and deployed a large number of soldiers to surround the palace that night, and arranged two more armies to be used as reserves on both sides of the palace.

After everything was prepared, I waited for Xiao Diyuan and his party to come back.

In the guest room, Zhou Rong, Zhang Yuanfeng and Wu Yichang gathered together and spoke in a low voice.

"King Guangxian doesn't know the situation here, and I'm afraid he hasn't taken any relevant measures, so we must make sure that King Guangxian can leave the palace safely by then. Zhou Rong said.

Zhang Yuanfeng: "At the moment, we ourselves are under their surveillance, so it's not easy to act." ”

Wu Yichang stood in front of the window and looked out of the window for a long time before saying, "Finding someone to help us secretly send a letter to King Guangxian is probably the most important thing we should do at the moment." ”

But who are you looking for? Who are the people in the palace who are willing to help King Guangxian?

At this moment, there was a knock at the door, followed by a woman's voice: "The slave has come to bring the three of them night cakes." ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and then Zhou Rong said, "Please come in." ”

A palace maid of about twenty-one or twelve years old walked in slowly with a plate of pastries.

After putting down the pastry, the palace maid suddenly whispered to the three of them: "The three Taoist priests, the slave maid was a person from the Shangyi Bureau before, and was mainly responsible for managing the clothes and ornaments of King Guangxian. ”

When she said this, she suddenly lowered her voice and said: "The slave maid saw that a large number of heavy troops were sent inside and outside the palace during the day today, and I was worried that this would be unfavorable to King Guangxian. ”

The three of them were overjoyed, but then they were a little uneasy, after all, what if she was specially arranged by Xiao Hong to test them?

So Zhou Rong asked, "What do you mean now that you want to help King Guangxian?"

The palace maid nodded solemnly and said, "The slave maid is called Qingyue, Qingqing, the moon of the moon, if the three Taoist priests don't believe it, they can send someone to investigate." ”

Zhou Rong hurriedly said: "It's not that we don't believe in your identity. ”

Qingyue: "Then the three of you are worried that the slave maid is someone sent by His Majesty or the queen's mother, right?"

The three smiled silently.

Qingyue understood, and said clearly: "Of course, the slave maid is not the enemy of His Majesty and the Empress Niang, but the slave maid is definitely the one who stands on the side of King Guangxian unconditionally. ”

The three of them vaguely realized that Qingyue was in love with King Guangxian in her heart.

So Zhou Rong said: "Okay, let's help him take a hexagram." ”

After that, I really started divination immediately.

About two quarters of an hour later, the results came out, and Zhou Rong said to Qingyue: "King Guangxian's return to the palace this time is undoubtedly to send sheep into the tiger's mouth, and there is more than luck." ”

Qingyue was busy asking if there was a way to eliminate it.

Zhou Rong said: "At the moment, we are weak, and it is really difficult to carry out the rescue plan, the only thing we can do is to let King Guangxian know about this." ”

Qingyue hurriedly said: "Then, the slave maid is willing to send a letter to King Guangxian." ”

The three of them were overjoyed, but then a little worried.

Qingyue, a weak woman's family, how could she send the letter to King Guangxian safely?

As if aware of the concerns of the three of them, Qingyue said: "The road that King Guangxian went back to here is familiar with the slave maid, because the slave maid's hometown is on the edge of the Songjiang River. ”

Zhou Rong said again: "Then you can secretly go out of the palace to send him a letter, but you must not let others know, otherwise your own life will be in danger." ”

Qingyue: "Yes, the slave maid has already taken a day off, and she can take this opportunity to leave the palace." ”

Zhou Rong: "Do the people in the palace know about you who have always been towards King Guangxian?"

Qingyue: "I don't know, the slave maid has never shown it, and the slave maid left the palace this time in the name of going home to visit her parents, they won't suspect it." ”

Zhou Rong then wrote down the results of the divination, and subtly mentioned that there were heavy guards inside and outside the palace.

Qingyue had studied with her father and uncle earlier, so she also knew a lot of words, and when this letter arrived in her hand, she immediately read it in person before sealing it and putting it in her pocket, and said solemnly: "Three rest assured, the slave will definitely deliver this letter to King Guangxian as soon as possible." ”

The three nodded.

Qingyue left the palace that night and galloped straight towards Xiao Diyuan's way back in a carriage.

In the afternoon of the next day, Qingyue ran into Xiao Diyuan and his party who were rushing to the palace, and Qingyue immediately stepped forward and said: "I am Qingyue, the palace maid who was originally responsible for managing the clothes and decorations of King Guangxian, and I have something to find King Guangxian." ”

Everyone was immediately on full alert, and one of them immediately reported to Xiao Diyuan.

Xiao Diyuan learned that it was Qingyue, and hurriedly asked her to come closer.

Qingyue then walked quickly to Xiao Diyuan's carriage and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, the slave has something I want to give to you. ”

Xiao Diyuan immediately lifted the curtain and looked at her.

Qingyue quickly handed the letter in his pocket into his hand.

Xiao Diyuan immediately unfolded the letter, and immediately put it in his pocket after reading it, and said, "I know, thank you!"

After that, he arranged for someone to send her back to the palace safely, and he immediately informed the captain of the army sent by Li Pei to help him, so that they could secretly infiltrate the territory of the Dawn Kingdom tonight.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Diyuan and his party arrived in the capital.

When they entered the palace, the heavy troops sent by Xiao Hong immediately surrounded the entire palace, and the reservists on the east and west sides immediately joined the encirclement team.
