Chapter 293: Dugu Xuerou
Everything is slowly moving towards Dugu Yunliu's plan......
It's just that to Dugu Yunliu's surprise, Xiao Jingcong, the peerless general of Da Xiao, actually led a large army to support. The first battle in Northern Xinjiang directly frustrated their spirit, Dugu Yunliu was worried about this matter, and was worried about Xiao Jingcong, but this morning he suddenly received a secret report from a spy, saying that Xiao Jingcong sent all the scouts around him, as if to track someone's whereabouts.
What Dugu Yunliu didn't expect was that Xiao Jingcong also left the barracks alone, and he didn't know where he went, so he should have tracked down that important person. can make Xiao Jingcong so attentive, even ignoring the army, you can imagine how important this person is to him.
Therefore, Dugu Yunliu immediately called Li Yuanxiao, the prince of Yuanxia, to discuss countermeasures to see if he could send troops to fight Xiao Jun by surprise. But now Dugu Yunliu has changed his mind.
Dugu Yunliu glanced at Li Yuanxiao in front of him, and asked tentatively: "Brother Yuanxiao, looking at your breezy appearance, did you already know that Xiao Jingcong left the barracks?" Dugu Yunliu said as he stared at Li Yuanxiao from the corner of his eye, wanting to see how he reacted.
Li Yuanxiao still maintained that calm and calm, as if everything had nothing to do with him.
However, after a slight pause, Dugu Yunliu asked meaningfully: "Or is it that the one who took that hostage was from Brother Yuan Xiao?" ”
Speaking of which, it is already very clear, Dugu Yunliu suspected that Li Yuanxiao had taken the hostage, so he specially invited him to come over to ask about the matter, the purpose was to make sure, and by the way, to see if he could ask Li Yuanxiao to be a hostage.
Li Yuanxiao didn't speak from beginning to end, until Dugu Yunliu made his intentions clear, Li Yuanxiao put down the teacup in his hand, the expression on his face suddenly became solemn, and he said coldly.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, what do you mean by this? Do you suspect that Prince Ben has captured the so-called Xiao military hostage in your mouth? ”
The second prince Dugu Yunliu's gaze did not dodge, and stared straight at Li Yuanxiao, "Why is Brother Yuanxiao so nervous, this prince is just asking casually, if you know, it would be the best, with this hostage as a bargaining chip to blackmail Da Xiao, we will definitely be able to win this battle without blood, so please also ask Brother Yuanxiao to focus on the overall situation." ”
"Don't worry, if this prince knows the whereabouts of the hostages, he will definitely inform His Royal Highness the second prince, I still have something to do, so I will leave." After speaking, Li Yuanxiao turned around and was about to leave, but Dugu Yunliu's arrogant voice came from behind, "Don't send it, His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Li Yuanxiao didn't say anything more, and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion without saying a word.
After Li Yuanxiao left, Dugu Yunliu grabbed the teacup that Li Yuanxiao had drunk on the table and smashed it on the ground, only to hear a "pop", the teacup was shattered, and Chen Beihai on the side was so frightened that he lowered his head even more, and he was about to hit the ground at this moment.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is angry, angry!" Chen Beihai cautiously persuaded him, and Dugu Yunliu noticed that there was still a person kneeling next to him.
Dugu Yunliu glanced at Chen Beihai with cold eyes, and snorted coldly: "Get up." ”33
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince! Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince...... "From the time Dugu Yunliu came in just now, until Li Yuanxiao left, Chen Beihai knelt on the ground, his legs and feet were extremely sore, and he was finally able to get up.
"Chen Beihai, how did you check what I asked you to investigate?" Dugu Yunliu calmed down the anger in his heart, beckoned to Chen Beihai and asked.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Qiqi, the lower officials have found out! As expected by His Royal Highness the Second Prince, the person who appeared in Yuncheng a few days ago, and later asked to see Zhang Huatian, the lord of Yuncheng City, was the princess of Da Xiao's General's Mansion, Xiao Jingcong's main room, Princess Xiao Zixi! ”
"Sure enough, it's that woman!" Dugu Yunliu gritted his teeth, as if he was talking to Chen Beihai, and as if talking to himself, "In this way, Xiao Jingcong ordered the scouts to pour out, and even went out to find the person himself, should be Princess Xiao Yan Zixi." ”
When Chen Beihai heard this, a trace of surprise appeared on his face, and he asked in disbelief: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince, won't you?" Then Xiao Jingcong is the dignified commander of the Xiao army, how could he ignore the army for the sake of a woman? This is definitely not something that the invincible General Wushuangfei can do?! ”
"Hmph, General Wushuang is no longer the Wushuang General of the past! If you change to other people, the prince may not believe it, and he will be afraid that this is Xiao Jingcong's strategy and the rumors spread, but if the missing person is Princess Xiao Yan Zixi, then I can be sure that Xiao Jingcong should be more anxious than the ants on the hot pot now, after all, that Yan Zixi is a woman who is more important than his own life! Dugu Yunliu said with an oath.
The more Chen Beihai listened, the more confused he became, "Does this Xiao Jingcong really love that woman so much?" ”
"Of course! If we can catch this woman, this war can be easily won without even a single soldier! The former god of war also has his weaknesses, and Xiao Jingcong is no longer that battlefield myth! Dugu Yunliu said slowly, and the next moment he became serious, he raised his eyebrows, and ordered Chen Beihai: "Chen Beihai, immediately summon the major generals to come to the city lord's mansion to listen to the order, this prince is going to drive the expedition in person, and kill Xiao Jun without leaving a piece of armor!" ”
"Yes!" Chen Beihai was also overjoyed, and immediately gave up his hand, and immediately ran out and gave orders to the generals in the major military camps.
"Xiao Jingcong, this time I want you to be defeated! The soul returns to the north! Dugu Yunliu's clenched fists "snapped", and he didn't want Chen Beihai to go and return again, so he ran back.
Dugu Yunliu saw that Chen Beihai had come back in a hurry, frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously: "Chen Beihai, didn't I let you pass the order?" How did you get back? ”
"Returning to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, long ...... The eldest princess is here! Chen Beihai was sweating profusely, stammering and slurring his speech.
"What?!" Dugu Yunliu's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he screamed in surprise, and when he was about to ask where the eldest princess Chen Beihai was now, there was already a sound of footsteps outside the main hall.
Soon, a familiar female voice sounded, "Second Emperor Brother, don't come to harm!" ”
Dugu Yunliu raised his head and saw a tall woman with a handsome posture and a heroic spirit walking in. If Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi were present, they would definitely be able to recognize that the woman who came was none other than Su Xuerou, the secret agent of Beiliang who had been rescued by them in the past.
That is, the current eldest princess of Beiliang, the eldest sister of Dugu Yunliu - Dugu Xuerou.
