Gently planted a small flag on the map. "Words * love * first * hair

Yue Qingrou looked at the map and began to think: "The marching route of this steppe wolf court's army is really unpredictable, and even the marching route is very different from the one they marched when they plundered the village before. It's a strange situation. ”

Yun Qing looked at the march route of this army from the information when he first discovered this army to the current intelligence gathered from the information on the map, but he didn't have much reaction, after all, he didn't know anything about the army of the Steppe Wolf Court before.

"What do you think" Since he didn't know, Yun Qing didn't think that his guess would be of any use, so he had to ask Yue Qingrou.

"I don't know. Previous intelligence says they may be looking for something, and from this route, it is indeed possible. Yue Qing Rouyu said with her hand on the marching route: "You see, their initial march route was straight to the villages and towns, which is more in line with their habits, in fact, these villages and towns have indeed been plundered. And when they arrived here, they didn't go to the village or town, but to the hilly terrain here. The next intelligence was that they had come out of the hills again and attacked the village. But soon returned to the hilly terrain again. And it was repeated several times, so it seems that the reason why they came out was like plundering supplies. ”

The old general Li Qingfeng on the side was even more surprised: "If you don't list this information, I don't think so." In this way, last year, the border residents reported that there was an army of the Steppe Wolf Court crossing the border, I am afraid that it was this force, at that time, there was a Zhenxi army in the western part of the empire to defend it, and their actions were not so rampant. And you see, this marching route turned to the territory of the Night Moon Kingdom here, but it soon entered the empire again, and if you enter the imperial border from this position, you just bypass the main position of the Zhenxi army. ”

"I see, before we went to war with the empire last year, we received information from the army of the Steppe Wolf Court, so when Qingrou fought with the empire, we only brought 30,000 soldiers and horses, and most of the troops were left behind." Wanrong suddenly remembered something: "Look at the map that Qing Rouge Kerr marked the information that was gathered, and the time when we received the information seemed to coincide with the marching route of this army. ”

Hearing this, Yun Qing carefully looked at the time marked next to the flag, and suddenly his heart moved: "Uncle Hong, do you remember what Lin Yanhui said when we first went to Beijing, the mysterious and mysterious beauty we met?"

"You mean, she suspects that Old General Li was sent to the north, and it was the ghost of the old thief of Gongsun in the East China Sea" Hong Xiao suddenly remembered when Yunqing mentioned this.

Yun Qing nodded: "That's right, Lin Yanhui said at that time that there is General Jingbei in the north, and there is no need for Grandpa Li, who is in charge of the whole situation, to be sent to the north to command the defense." At that time, she also said that she suspected that Sun Lao Thief and the Prairie Wolf Court were secretly playing ghosts, so she let the army of the Prairie Wolf Court go south to disturb the border when it was not the winter of the prairie. ”

"Now judging from the time when this force appeared, I'm afraid that the force that was disturbing the border in the north at that time was a cover." Yun Qing stretched out his hand and pointed to the place where the noble private army of the empire was fighting with Yue Qingrou and said, "You see, the marching time and speed of this army, as well as the purpose, are directly pointed here. And here, it was when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led the noble private army to fight with the army of the Duke of Beauty. At that time, according to the sighting information of the locals, they were in this deep mountain only 100 miles north of this battlefield. ”

"You mean" Listening to Yun Qing's analysis, the faces of General Li, Hong Xiao and the others were extremely ugly.

"I'm afraid that's what you think. At that time, Sun Lao Thief had already come up with the idea of killing His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and it had already been put into practice. Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly get sick at that time, and the military power was concentrated in Sun Hong's hands I think that if Sun Hong hadn't despised the Duke of Beauty at that time and was defeated too quickly, he would definitely have notified the troops of the Steppe Wolf Court to launch an attack and put the responsibility for the death of the prince and the defeat on them. And His Majesty has been riddled with stubborn illnesses over the years, and after hearing the bad news of His Royal Highness the Prince, the possibility of falling ill is also very great. So the power will be in the hands of the old thief of the East China Sea as it is now. After that, as long as he waits until His Majesty dies, then he can justifiably support his nephew with royal blood to inherit the throne, and he will be his emperor. ”

Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, if this is the case, then Donghai Gong is definitely the hero of the world, and the depth of his planning has only begun to emerge now.

"I think this possibility is extremely high, and in the current situation, the one who benefits the most is Sun Lao Thief. Damn, I'll write a secret letter to the prime minister, tell him about these things, and tell him to pay attention to Old Thief Sun. General Li's face was pale, and his forehead was bulging, which showed how angry he was.

You must know the current empire, but he has followed the emperor and Yun Bufan since he was young, fought in the east and west, and destroyed the three kingdoms before he worked hard to establish. And now that he learned that there was such a thief who stole the country, how could he bear this breath.

"If it weren't for the fact that the emperor has been seriously ill all these years, so that he can't take care of the affairs of the imperial court for most of the time, how could the empire have reached such a crisis situation," General Li sighed.

Yue Qingrou sneered: "Hmph, I don't think it is possible, as far as I know, your majesty has had several princes, but unfortunately they either died young, or they encountered a dark arrow when they were training in the army." Could it be that there is no ghost among them, and it is also the ghost of the East China Sea Gong. Otherwise, he would have already had an adult son to hand over power. ”

General Li was stunned for a moment, Yue Qingrou didn't say that it was okay, so he immediately remembered the death of those princes, and now it is really strange to think about it.

"If that's really the case, why didn't Your Majesty cut down the Duke of the East China Sea, can't you really see that this old thief is a big traitor," Ke'er looked puzzled.

"Alas, Sun Canghai was not so rampant as he appeared at the beginning, and he was very capable at that time, and the court praised his ability to govern the territory. It wasn't until His Majesty's illness worsened in his later years that he became a little arrogant. However, at this time, His Majesty had been sick and bedridden for most of the year, and most of the government was handed over to the prime minister and the third duke. Only some major events will be witnessed by His Majesty himself. General Li smiled bitterly: "It seems that it is really providential to have today." It's really good that the old thief Sun is hiding. ”

Yun Qing didn't participate in the discussion of Sun Canghai's matter anymore, but stared at the marching route of the Steppe Wolf Court troops with blazing eyes: "But I still don't understand, since their goal has been achieved and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been killed, why don't they go back?"

"Could it be that they have another purpose?" said Keerqi.

"But the problem is, I can't think of what they can do here." Yue Qingrou put her forehead on her forehead in distress: "I can't see what benefits can be made to let this grassland army of more than 60,000 people linger here for so long." ”

"Forget it. There should always be a purpose for them. Since you can't think of it, just ask them directly. According to the latest information, they were last seen near the Leling River and Moshan Mountain. Now that they have lost their traces, they are probably hidden in the mountains, and according to their habits, the next time they appear, I am afraid that they will plunder the village in a few days to replenish their provisions. In that case, I'll take a unit to investigate. Yun Qing pointed to the small flag that Yue Qingrou had planted at the end.

"Well, if you go into the mountains, I don't believe they can escape your eyes." Yue Qingrou nodded.

Then Yun counted three thousand light horsemen to investigate the situation.

At this time, Ye Lingxiao rode the Tianhua wildebeest, a unique spirit beast of the Holy Dragon Army, for several days without sleep, and rushed to the vicinity of the capital at a very fast speed.

"Damn, how could the defense here in the capital be replaced by the private army of the Duke of Donghai, is it really the Duke of the East Sea who imprisoned His Majesty" Seeing that several large battalions near the capital had changed their men and horses, Ye Lingxiao's face was very ugly.

It's just that after entering the city, after Ling Xiao's request to meet His Majesty was conveyed that night, he quickly got a reply, and His Majesty wanted to see him.

"Your Majesty wants to see me" Ye Lingxiao was surprised: "In this way, Your Majesty is not bedridden like the rumors, it seems that the rumors are wrong." Forget it, when you see Your Majesty, tell your Majesty about Yunqing. Although His Majesty is not bedridden, it is possible that the news was blocked by the Duke of Donghai or he ordered me to annihilate Yunqing after listening to the fake news of the Duke of Donghai."

Soon, a guard came: "General Night, Your Majesty Xià is invited." ”

Ye Lingxiao followed the guard into the palace city and headed towards the side hall.

"Your Majesty is going to summon me in the side hall," Ye Lingxiao felt a little strange.

You must know that the side hall is generally the place where the ministers discuss politics after the court meeting, although the emperor often comes to the side hall, but it is almost impossible to summon a minister in the side hall.

"That's the case, Your Majesty happened to be discussing politics with all the adults in the side hall, and when I heard that General Ye urgently asked to see him, he hurriedly summoned him in the study of the side hall." The guard replied.

"I see." Ye Lingxiao nodded, what he said was true.

As the guard entered a palace in a side hall, the guard pointed to a room and said, "General Night, Your Majesty is inside." I'll quit first. ”

Ye Lingxiao nodded, and immediately walked into the room.

But as soon as he entered, he heard a bang, and a heavy iron plate fell from the door, locking him inside.

"What's going on, people are coming," Ye Lingxiao's face changed suddenly.

"Hahahaha Night General, Your Majesty is very angry that you disobeyed orders, did not destroy Yunqing, and left the army without permission, so I ordered you to be executed." Outside, the voice of Gongsun Canghai of the East China Sea came.

"What this can't be. If His Majesty were to put me to death, he would never do so. Sun Canghai, you really imprisoned His Majesty and intended to rebel. At this time, Ye Lingxiao didn't understand, and slammed his palms together against the wall.

But the wall didn't move.

"Hmph, General Night, don't waste your efforts. This room is specially made, and the entire room is made of dark iron. Even if it's you, there's no way you're going to escape. Come on, poison it. Sun Canghai laughed.

Small holes suddenly appeared in the wall, and then puffs of poisonous smoke entered the room
