After reading Shen Xizhen's secret letter, Shen Xicong suddenly had a feeling that victory or defeat was in his hands.

He was ready - when he finished this battle, he would apply to be transferred back to the capital, he wanted to get together with Shen Xibin and Shen Xizhen to make a career, he felt that as long as the three brothers and sisters were together, they would dare to face all kinds of difficulties and challenges. Also, he misses his mother. He hadn't been home for two years, and he suddenly felt homesick.

Therefore, there must be no mistakes in this battle, he said to himself secretly.

Ten days later, Liu Ming secretly saw Shen Xizhen and told her: "Deng Yan is preparing to attack the northern frontier of Xi on the 15th. ”

"Well, that's only two days." Shen Xizhen groaned and sat down in the seat by the window.

"Do you think there's anything else wrong?" Liu Ming asked hurriedly.

"When will the second batch of respondents sent by Liu Xianchen arrive?" Shen Xizhen asked him.

"Tomorrow morning." Liu Ming replied.

"When they arrive, let them wait for me directly at the entrance of the cave in the Grand Canyon, you don't have to come here."

"Okay." Liu Ming then took the order and left.

The next day, Shen Xizhen came to the entrance of the cave in the Grand Canyon after the morning dynasty and met the ten people sent by Liu Xianchen.

Judging from their eyes, Shen Xizhen knew that these were very smart and clever people, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She knew that Liu Xianchen was very good at reading people.

Shen Xizhen unfolded a map drawn in advance and said to them: "After nightfall tonight, the 200,000 troops of the Xi Kingdom will come from the tunnel at the bottom of the river in batches wearing green clothes, and then you will arrange ambush points according to the terrain distribution marked on this map. Remember. There must be no mistakes, and the sooner the better. ”

"Yes."

"Guang'anhou, although this area of the Grand Canyon is sparsely populated, there are often some passers-by passing by, what if they are discovered?" One of the answerers asked.

"I've sent people to block every intersection, and I won't leak any information to the outside world." Shen Xizhen replied.

"Good!" Their voices were louder.

"In addition, in order to prevent Deng Yan from being suspicious. I won't be able to command here tomorrow. But I need to know the news from here at all times, so you, and you, the two of you, take turns delivering the news to me. Shen Xizhen pointed to a tall man and a short man and said.

"Good!" The two immediately replied.

"Around midnight to-morrow, the army of the Kingdom of Mao will pass by the Stagecoach Avenue less than a mile away. We want to invade the northern frontier of our country from Wenxi Pass there, so all the soldiers in ambush on our side will be quickly transferred to that side tomorrow morning, so we will quickly install bronze cannons when our 200,000 green-clothed troops arrive tonight. Xi Zhen instructed carefully.

"Yes."

"Alright, that's all for now. I hope that everyone will work together to fight this battle. Shen Xizhen looked at everyone and said earnestly.

"Guang'an, please rest assured, we will definitely live up to your high expectations." The ten replied in unison.

Shen Xizhen smiled. Hop on your horse and gallop away.

When I arrived in the palace, a minister was looking for her urgently, and when I saw her coming, I suddenly saw a savior.

"Where have you been? The emperor is looking for you. I've been waiting for a while, and his face seems to be very ugly. The minister said breathlessly.

"Oh? Then I'll go right over. Shen Xizhen's heart sank, and he strode towards the Liuyun Palace.

Deng Yanzheng was discussing something with Liu Ming and other ministers. His brow furrowed, and he did look very unhappy. Shen Xizhen was slightly apprehensive. Hurriedly pressed himself, panicked, and stepped forward to salute.

"Lu Ling, I sent someone to Rulin Garden to look for you, but I couldn't find you, where did you run in broad daylight?" Deng Yan asked sternly.

"Your Majesty, Weichen has been feeling dizzy and tightness in his chest this morning, as if he can't breathe, so he went to the pharmacy to grab medicine just now."

Deng Yan saw that her face was indeed a little haggard, so she believed her, but her tone was still a little dissatisfied: "As an important minister of the imperial court, why don't you ask one or two servants to help you do these little things?" ”

"Wechen has been preparing to recruit one or two servants recently, but he hasn't met a suitable one yet."

Deng Yan pursed her lips and said, "In the future, you can't leave the palace or home without a relationship like this, you know?" Every move of the important officials of the court must be disciplined, so as not to fall behind. ”

"Yes! Weichen knows his mistake and won't dare next time. ”

"Sit down." Deng Yan said.

Shen Xizhen hurriedly sat down.

They were talking about tomorrow's attack on the northern frontier of the Xi Kingdom.

Deng Yan consulted Shen Xizhen for his opinion, and Shen Xizhen said one by one: "Just do what everyone wants." ”

As he walked out of the Liuyun Palace, Shen Xizhen handed a note to Liu Ming.

That night, Shen Xizhen saw Pepper.

"In the early hours of tomorrow morning, Liu Ming's side will secretly send a team of people to make trouble in the Yunxin Palace, and then you will find a way to stir up the morale of the army and let the Praetorian Guards rush there. At that time, the people on our side will sneak into the palace from the west gate and the north gate one after another, and capture Deng Yan alive......" Shen Xizhen instructed Pepper.

"Okay, what about you? Is it safe on your end? Pepper asked uncomfortably.

"Don't worry, I'm safe." Shen Xizhen said.

Pepper then took her leave.

…………

Shen Xizhen sat in the center of the room and prayed intently, not sleeping all night.

At such a critical juncture, it is simply impossible to get a good night's sleep.

Dawn gradually came, and she slowly opened her eyes facing east.

As a person who is good at observing the celestial phenomena, she saw the light that symbolizes auspiciousness in the celestial phenomena, and also saw a few bloody dark spots.

So, this war is not without losses. Xi Zhen frowned slightly.

With a thud, a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth, and she collapsed.

It seems that the illness has recurred. Shen Xizhen said in his heart.

If you don't commit it sooner or later, but at this critical juncture, isn't this killing her? Shen Xizhen shook his head helplessly. He wiped the blood from his mouth with his sleeve and struggled to his feet.

When she was about to walk up, she felt that the sky was spinning for a while, and her eyes were black, so she had to lie down on the spot again.

"I've laid most of the things in place, but there's no guarantee that there won't be any accidents, so I'll have to take care of the whole situation," she thought to herself. ”

I took a slight nap. She struggled to her feet. I found myself able to move around.

She hurriedly changed into a dress and entered the palace.

When I arrived at the palace, I was told that the emperor would not go to court today, and he had something to do temporarily.

Shen Xizhen was shocked.

Could it be that Deng Yan learned the news? When I think about it, I can't help but worry.

However, isn't there still Liu Ming following up here? He's sure he'll be flexible.

So she asked, "What about Prime Minister Liu?" ”

"Since I went to Yunxin Hall in the morning to learn about the trouble, I have disappeared."

"Okay. I know. Shen Xizhen immediately returned to the Rulin Garden.

She knew that Liu Ming had quietly left the palace. That's fine, if he stays in the palace for another hour, he will die.

She was very glad that she chose Liu Ming to follow up on matters related to the palace.

……………………

Deng Yan was also a smart man, and when something happened to Yunxin Palace, he immediately left the palace under the protection of a group of ministers and guards, and rested in an inn not far from the palace.

The army attacking the northern frontier of the Xi Kingdom has been set off for nearly an hour. Before any news came back, there was another assassination incident in the Yunxin Hall here. He vaguely felt that something was wrong.

So Deng Yan immediately sent someone to call Liu Ming.

An hour later, the envoy came back and reported: "I have searched all over the palace for the small one, but I can't find the slightest shadow of Prime Minister Liu." I have already called someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to continue looking. ”

"What?" Deng Yan suddenly realized something and stood up with a sigh. "Immediately inform all the gates to strengthen their guards, and no one will be allowed to leave the customs."

"No!" The messenger trembled and hurried away.

"Your Majesty. It can't be Liu Ming rebelling, right? A minister asked with a look of horror on his face.

"I can't rule out this possibility, but it is impossible for him to rebel alone, unless he has an accomplice." Deng Yan rubbed his forehead and said. Suddenly. He remembered that Shen Xizhen hurried back to the palace yesterday and said that he was going to the pharmacy to get medicine, and he hurriedly said, "Immediately send someone to Rulin Garden to call Lu Ling." ”

"No." The other messenger also hurried back.

"If they are complicit. I will not spare them. Deng Yan said viciously, and the cup in his hand was crushed with a bang. The crushed ceramic shards cut his hand, and blood immediately flowed out.

One of the ministers rushed forward to bandage him, but he raised his hand to stop him.

Deng Yan's eyes looked sharply at the ministers.

"Your Majesty, we are absolutely loyal to you." The ministers immediately knelt down before him.

Deng Yan sneered and said, "Let's be flat, we have to change our residence immediately and not return to the palace for the time being." ”

"Your Majesty, don't you worry about ......," a certain minister stopped when he wanted to speak.

Deng Yan heard it clearly, and he replied: "Let's ensure the safety of my life first." ”

So the group changed into civilian clothes and quickly moved to the Great Country Temple deep in the original green mountain bamboo forest.

…………………

Liu Ming disguised himself as an eighty-year-old man and went to the Fengyan Tower that Shen Xizhen had agreed to meet Shen Xizhen.

At this time, Shen Xizhen had already changed into a woman of about twenty-five or sixteen years old, sitting on a wooden bench in Fengyan Building and waiting for him to come.

Her appearance this time was neither her original appearance nor the appearance of 'Lu Ling', so Liu Ming was dumbfounded when he saw her, and he didn't dare to recognize it.

"It's me, Prime Minister Liu." Shen Xizhen said, and reported the code of the joint, Liu Ming was relieved, stepped forward and said to her softly: "Deng Yan has secretly left the palace. ”

"I know, I have calculated the specific location where he is now, you immediately inform the 100,000 soldiers in civilian clothes to outflank Yuan Qingshan, Deng Yan is inside, remember, you have to catch him alive." Shen Xizhen said.

"Okay. Then I'll go first. Liu Ming said, looked up and saw Shen Xizhen's face as pale as paper, and hurriedly asked, "Is your body okay?" ”

He had learned from Liu Xianchen that she would get seriously ill almost once a year, and each time she would be sick for nearly a month, could it be her turn to develop the disease again?

"It's okay, I can hold on. Then you go, and wait for me at the intersection of Qilixi after arranging this matter. ”

"Okay." Liu Ming glanced at her as she answered, and was surprised to find that she was trembling all over.

"Can you do it?" He asked again. He was worried that she wouldn't be able to go to Qilixi, because it was almost close to the Grand Canyon, but it was far away.

"No problem, you can go with confidence." Xi Zhen said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Zhen only felt a pant of breath, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Guang'an wait!" Liu Ming hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

Shen Xizhen waved his hand at him and said, "You go quickly, time can't wait." ”

"So what do you do? Why don't I take you with me? ”

"No, that will affect your speed, you go quickly."

Liu Ming couldn't, so he had to bow deeply to her, and then turned around and left.

For the first time in his life, he had such deep respect for a woman.

……………….

At the same time, the field soldiers led by Shen Xicong also rushed out of the tunnel at the bottom of the river, surrounded the periphery, and the two sides fought fiercely for less than an hour. The winner was immediately decided.

Immediately afterwards, the 300,000 reinforcements sent by Emperor Guangzhao rushed from the tunnel at the bottom of the river, and they quickly captured the cities on the border of the Mao State, and the large team immediately attacked the capital of the Mao State without stopping.

When the Mao State realized that the situation was not good, it was too late, and before the troops of the various barracks were mobilized, the army of the Xi State had already attacked.

"Deng Yan has been captured alive. But death will not surrender. "At the intersection of Qilixi, Liu Ming came to see Shen Xizhen.

"Excellent! Immediately help me send a message to General Ji who charged, and let them guard Deng Yan all the time, and the minister sent by Emperor Guangzhao will arrive tomorrow. Shen Xizhen said.

Her face looked extremely calm, but her whole body was still trembling, Liu Ming didn't know how she came to Qilixi, but he didn't dare to ask, and this was not the time to ask about these trivial things, so he immediately took the order to act.

In the afternoon, the tall man came to see her: "Our soldiers have gradually taken control of the palace, and the number of dead and wounded of the Praetorian Guards of the Mao Kingdom is close to 30,000. ”

"Are you still fighting?" Xi Zhen asked.

"Uh-huh, but the outcome is already becoming apparent."

"Okay, help me deliver this letter to Shen Xicong from the Metropolitan Protectorate." Hee Zhen handed him the letter.

"Okay." The tall man hurriedly took his leave.

In less than half a cup of tea, Liu Ming ran to report and said: "Guang'an wait, Deng Yan bit his tongue and committed suicide." ”

Shen Xizhen was shocked, although he was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was reasonable, so he said, "Let's go, let's go into the palace together." ”

The two were about to leave, when they saw a tall man coming to report like a flyer: "Guang'an wait, something happened." ”

The tall man was still talking, and his face was extremely sad.

Shen Xizhen's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" (To be continued).
