Chapter 133: Frontier War
Tang Tian waited until noon, and there were more guests who came to eat on the first floor, and he didn't see Yu Chusheng come back. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Until noon passed, there were almost no guests eating on the first floor, and Tang Tian still didn't see Yu Chusheng's figure.
He asked the shopkeeper again if Yu Chusheng had taken the burden when he left the inn, and the answer was no.
Tang Tian had no choice but to go back to the palace first, maybe Yu Chusheng went back to the palace on a whim, or he missed the prince.
When Tang Tian returned to the palace, he saw a few horses parked in front of the door, and the hundred secret guards cultivated by Luo Yunqing were all wearing soldiers' clothes, standing at the gate of the palace in unison.
What's going on?
Tang Tian frowned, and as soon as he ran into the palace, he saw Luo Yunqing dressed in military uniform, followed by Tang Feng, and was walking out.
Before he could ask, Luo Yunqing saw him first and asked him, "Did you find her?" ”
Tang Tian saw that the matter was a little urgent, and made a long story short: "I found out which inn the fish girl lived in, but I didn't bring her back, master, what's wrong?" ”
Luo Yunqing looked solemn and explained: "At noon today, the soldiers guarding Zizhou returned to Beijing to report the news, there was chaos in the frontier, and the soldiers who stayed there were almost unable to bear it, and the emperor ordered the king to go to the town." ”
The territory of Daguang extends to Zizhou in the east, and further east, it is the territory of Qu Liguo.
From the reign of the first emperor to the present, Qu Liguo has been attacking Daguang many times, wanting to extinguish Daguang and claim himself emperor, but he has not succeeded.
Tang Tian glanced at the hundred secret guards, and wondered in his heart: "The remaining guards in Zizhou are only three thousand, and the master will take these secret guards with him this time?" Didn't the emperor send troops? ”
Luo Yunqing said: "The emperor said that the war is too urgent, and he has not prepared grain and grass yet, and the reinforcements will arrive later, and the king will set off first." When he said this, Luo Yunqing hesitated.
The battle came by surprise, but he wasn't sure if Luo Yunde would really send reinforcements.
What if he wanted to take advantage of this war and get rid of himself?
But the people are the most important, if Zizhou falls, where should the people go?
Luo Yunqing thought of Yu Chusheng and instructed Tang Tian: "Tang Tian, you stay in Kyoto and protect Chusheng." ”
Tang Tian actually wanted to go to Zizhou with Luo Yunqing, he grew up in Zizhou since he was a child, and he was more familiar with Zizhou than Luo Yunqing, so every time there was chaos in Zizhou, Luo Yunqing would take Tang Tian with him.
But Luo Yunqing cares so much about the fish girl, Tang Feng is not tactful enough, if Yu Chusheng has an accident, it will be difficult to solve it.
Although Tang Tian seems unreliable, he can still see all the stakes clearly.
Thinking of this, Tang Tian's expression became much more serious, and he said: "Obey the order, the subordinates will definitely protect the fish girl, and the master can go with confidence." ”
At this time, the Imperial Palace Study.
"Zizhou, can you do it?" Emperor Xuanwen asked.
He sat at the desk, his hand did not stop, Xu did not wait for a response, he raised his head and glanced at Qi Zizhou standing in front of him.
Qi Zizhou hesitated for a moment before asking, "Your Majesty, haven't you already signed a contract with Kuxi Kingdom?" If this assassination of the Sixth Highness is successful, will you be considered a breach of contract? Then we will cede five more cities to Coussi. ”
Emperor Xuanwen's smile was still gentle: "King An Ning was martyred in the battle with Qu Liguo, no wonder anyone. ”
Qi Zizhou said: "So what the emperor means is that if this assassination is successful, he will say to Kuxi that His Royal Highness the Sixth was killed on the battlefield, then Daguang and Kuxi are still friends." ”
Emperor Xuanwen nodded: "I thought that there was no chance to get rid of him, so I made a contract with Kuxi, who knew that God gave me a chance." ”
Qi Zizhou was silent.
After a pause, Emperor Xuanwen continued: "This time it must be successful. ”
Qi Zizhou should be, and said: "Then Weichen also asked the emperor to do what he promised Weichen." ”
Emperor Xuanwen smiled: "Don't worry, as long as this matter is done, I will issue a decree to dissolve the marriage contract between your sister and King Jue." ”
Qi Zizhou nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "Then according to the emperor, when should Weichen leave?" ”
Emperor Xuanwen put down the folds in his hand and was also thinking.
But after a while, he said: "There are 3,000 soldiers in Zizhou, and the 100 secret guards of King Anning can be worth 5,000 soldiers, according to the soldiers who came back, Qu Li sent out 30,000 elite soldiers this time, although King Anning is powerful, but after ten days, he should not be able to bear it, and then you will set off again, get rid of him first, and then, I will send troops to deal with Qu Li's soldiers." ”
Qi Zizhou bowed his head and pondered for a while, probably thinking that this strategy was quite appropriate, nodded slightly, and said, "Then Weichen will go and prepare." ”
――
When Yu Chusheng woke up, he smelled a musty smell.
She slowly opened her eyes, her brow furrowed when she saw her surroundings.
Not only was it gloomy, but the air smelled of dampness, and the only light came from a small window above.
She recognized such an environment, this should be a prison cell, and the structure was similar to the cell when she went to see Ji Hanshui with Qian Yuanmo last time.
But it's different.
Because it is not as big as the prison cells of the government office, there are only a few cells next to each other, and it is very dark.
Except for Yu Chusheng, there is no one here.
After Yu Chusheng's eyes adjusted to the dark environment, she looked around the cell again.
There are strange things in it, and it looks like a torture instrument that I have seen in a TV series!
Where is this? Yu Chusheng's heart shrank suddenly, she was arrested after leaving the Anning Palace, that is to say, the person who captured her should have been staring at her for a long time before he had the opportunity to catch her.
Yu Chusheng stood up cautiously, only to realize that his hands were tied behind him with a rope.
The straw on the ground still couldn't stop the moisture on the ground, and she felt that her whole body was cold.
"Squeak", the abrupt cry, made Yu Chusheng tremble violently a few times.
There are even rats here? It's so dark, it should be a basement.
Yes, it must be the basement, that's why the window was open overhead, and the light was so faint.
Yu Chusheng ran to the wooden door, which was locked from the outside.
It should have been a long time since it was used, and the locks on it all looked old and had a faint layer of rust.
Yu Chusheng confirmed that there was indeed no one around, only herself, and then tried to speak: "Is there anyone?" Is there anyone here? ”
There was no response, except for her own echo on the wall.
Yu Chusheng leaned his back against the door and hit it a few times, trying to break open the old wooden door, but it was still useless.
She slammed it a few more times, until her back was numb, and a bright light appeared in front of her, and a wooden door creaked open in the direction.
Along with this voice, another person's voice floated over: "Don't scream, you can't escape." ”
