Chapter 2 Praying Mantis Catches Cicadas

"The city gate has been replaced by our men, and the time will be waiting for the order. But father, are we really going to do that?"

Taishou House.

The father and son are plotting.

"There's no way anymore, the city can't be defended, the court has given up on us, and now even the seventh princess has given up on us. "Tai Shou's face is thin and resolute, and his eyes are cloudy.

"Your Highness, what's wrong with her?" his son asked.

"Li Ya, she will definitely break through, leave us down to contain the enemy, just wait for death." Taishou said. "Now we can't be relied on by anyone but ourselves. ”

As a taishou, if there is no will of the imperial court, naturally there is no need to personally lead the troops to fight, but it is the responsibility to defend the territory. Now, Baizhou has fallen to several counties, and as an official who has lost the city, he will be punished.

The Ning army is menacing, where it is said to be defended.

The court didn't know what it was thinking.

"Then why did my father ask people to sue Yan Huan in front of His Highness today. Taishou asked again.

Today's captain is too observant.

"I underestimate them, and when I act tonight, I must keep an eye on Yan Huan. It has to be. Taishou said to him. "The origin of this person is unknown, I originally wanted to take this opportunity to test it, but I didn't expect His Highness to defend him so seriously. Originally, I thought that even if I couldn't hold His Highness accountable to him, it would arouse suspicion, so that they would not have time to take care of anything else, divert their attention, and give us more protection for our actions tonight. This is the dark Chen Cang of the Ming Plank Road, but it's a pity. ”

This step did not achieve the desired effect, but there was still a chance.

On the contrary, it made him pay more and more attention to Yan Huan.

After tonight, it's all over.

Yan Huan went back to wash his face, he is still the most beautiful boy today. Taking a bath is too luxurious, and it is an extraordinary time.

It was as if someone was secretly staring at him, and he had already figured out why.

I took a nap for a while, and after nightfall, I sneaked out and escaped the guards and went into the study of the Seventh Princess.

Zheng ......

"It's ...... you"

The sword has been unsheathed, and the light is cold.

Unexpectedly, the assassin she thought would be Yan Huan, so she withdrew her sword and secretly surprised herself.

The other party was able to evade his own guards, and his martial arts were far from what he imagined.

"Disturb Your Highness. Yan Huan said apologetically. "It happened suddenly, and I hope Your Highness doesn't blame you and doesn't let them know. ”

"I was so distraught that I thought something was going to happen. Li Ya asked. "Is the enemy coming up?"

"That's not the case, if I'm not mistaken, Lord Taishou wants to sacrifice the city and betray His Highness!" Yan Huan said seriously.

"What are you talking about?" Li Ya exclaimed. "You can't talk nonsense. ”

"It's speculation now, but I trust my judgment and it's good to take precautions. Yan Huan said. "It's just that the defection to the enemy will really happen later, and we can't catch the evidence now, Yangcheng is still too much of an adult's territory. Although he is not a dead man, there are masters who are loyal to him. ”

"Then how do you know he ......" Li Ya frowned. "If that's the case, what do you think I'll do? If he doesn't act I can't catch him red-handed, and should I deal with the danger before the enemy enters the city? ”

Just like Yan Huan said, I am afraid that there are already masters around him to protect him now, and it would be too expensive to move him.

The city is in chaos, and the enemy army has a chance.

And if he can't be allowed to succeed, it is not possible to sacrifice the city.

"Today, his cronies have gone up to the city wall too often, and so many people have been replaced. Later, I arranged for the shadows to keep an eye on me and His Royal Highness, and I also went to the Taishou Mansion for a walk before I came, and I felt that eight or nine were not far from ten. Yan Huan said lightly. "Your Highness don't panic, the time has come. ”

"What timing?" Li Ya didn't understand, inexplicably.

"It's time for us to break through. Yan Huan said with some surprise. "I thought we had a heart. ”

There's a fart.

Li Ya glanced at him. "Do you think tonight will be an opportunity? When the enemy army enters the city, it is bound to arrange people to guard the city gates, and the four city gates are more closely guarded than before, and you still want to break through with this?"

"None of them would have thought of it, and neither would His Highness have thought of it, this is the real surprise. Yan Huan said seriously. "Your Highness should have prepared early, and now is the time to make a decision. ”

Li Ya supported her forehead. "What is the opinion of the military advisor? ”

"I'm afraid that the wall has ears, Your Highness, please listen to me come carefully. Yan Huan's cautious expression.

Then slowly approached.

Li Ya was even more speechless, where are there so many people listening to the root of the wall.

The other party approached and spoke in her ear, and she didn't stop it.

The ears that were as clear as white jade were slowly wet and itchy.

"You ...... do this" Li Ya was a little dumbfounded after hearing this.

"Your Highness has led troops for many years, and you should understand that with righteousness and victory, let me arrange it this time, it will be foolproof, if it goes well, when the city is opened, we can cut off the traitors with hundreds of swords and axes, and His Highness's departure will definitely be able to pry most of the enemy troops to pursue and reduce the pressure on Yangcheng! Leaving a trusted person to defend the city is just a way to have no worries, and if I didn't expect it wrong, the imperial court has already sent troops, so I will definitely stay on the road!" Yan Huan gradually persuaded her this time. "The people of Yangcheng need His Highness, they need His Highness's help, we rushed to Shaanzhou for only ten hours, and there are 60,000 defenders there, and now there is no military order from the imperial court, and only His Highness can be mobilized, and the enemy army can be blocked. ”

"Do you want to mobilize the Shaanzhou Army?" Li Ya thought, she had thought the same way before, and she could only go over by herself.

They would not come to their aid without a military order, but when they led the army to come, their father gave them the right to deploy the garrison along the way.

It's a pity that the heralds seem to have been intercepted by the enemy again and again, and the south side may also have fallen.

If you follow Yan Huan's method, maybe you can really escape from the encirclement.

But only for so few people.

"Did you say that the imperial court sent troops, is it on the road?" asked Li Ya.

This person knows himself and his opponent, how can he guess the actions of both parties so accurately, and he can't help but wonder if he is a spy or a two-faced.

"Not so fast, the time has not come. Yan Huan said.

"What timing?" Li Ya wondered.

"They were waiting for an opportunity, and when the army was marching out, it would also be the day when the surprise army attacked the capital. Yan Huan's words were amazing. "I'm afraid this is the idea of the imperial court, and before doing such a thing, it will definitely do a lot of work to confuse the enemy from being detected by them. ”

Yan Huan hasn't said yet, I'm afraid that he will sacrifice the seventh princess and use her if necessary.

But with my own, I don't have that chance.

"Surprise soldiers attacking the capital?" Li Ya hurriedly looked at the map.

How can you still see such a step?

Just thinking about such a bold battle plan made my blood boil.
