He unconsciously let go of his hand, and the child suddenly coughed violently and sat down on the ground.

Ye Zhiqiu approached the child's face, regained a gentle smile and said softly: "Listen, if you want to protect your father, you have to think more, watch more, talk less, and lose your temper less." Otherwise, you'll only have to die, can you remember? ”

The boy looked at him with a look of horror and nodded reluctantly, not daring to say another word.

Ye Zhiqiu stood up and saluted the boy.

"Take care, Your Royal Highness."

Only then did he instruct the eunuch beside him: "Let's keep walking, how far is the pigeon harrier room from here?" ”

"Horse ...... It's coming soon, just two more turns! The eunuch was afraid that Ye Zhiqiu would have another extraneous branch, so he hurriedly took a few steps ahead and led him away to the southeast.

* * * * * *

Song Sanlang, a master of pigeon breeding, probably never dreamed that the pigeon harrier he raised would affect the fate of Cangwu country.

The third master of Muyun once took advantage of the opportunity of the pigeon harrier to hit the Chang army to win the founding of the country, and Emperor Wen Li Houcong used the pigeon harrier to calculate that Zhu Zhiling and the Ming Emperor turned against each other, and the great witch god Wen Lan released the pigeon harrier to stir up a pool of muddy water in Zhangren Palace.

The pigeon harrier seems harmless to humans and animals, but it is comparable to a fast blade.

Now, this fast blade has fallen into Ye Zhiqiu's hands.

How to use it? When to use it? He already had an idea.

Now that the pigeon harrier of the blue sea has flown back, and since Wen Lan has taken control of Taiye City, it means that he and Wen Lan can also exchange secret letters.

Ye Zhiqiu walked all the way to the pigeon harrier room and took out the two secret letters prepared the day before yesterday, which were tied to the legs of the two pigeon harriers like Emperor Wen more than half a year ago.

One still flew to Taiye City.

One still flew to the Hanjiang River.

The news of the prince's assassination and serious illness induced Emperor Wen to turn back, and at the same time invited Wen Lan to take the opportunity to cross the river to cover up the killing, what he wanted was a two-pronged approach.

Ye Zhiqiu watched the two pigeon harriers fluttering their wings and flying towards the sky, and silently thought in his heart: Wen Lan, this opportunity is not a godsend, it was created by me Ye Zhiqiu with great effort, and it will be wasted!

Emperor Wen's beloved sons are heartfelt, and most of them will turn around and rush back to the imperial capital. However, it was inconvenient for the 100,000-strong army to march in winter, and Emperor Wen would never wait to accompany the army, but would order a light cavalry escort to march first. In this way, he only needs to ambush 25,000 people in the eastern suburbs of the imperial capital, and when Emperor Wen enters the ambush circle, he will catch turtles in the urn.

As soon as Emperor Wen fell, the heirs of the Li family withered, and the Muyun family had no available people, the Cangwu Kingdom was naturally easy to control, although it could not be long, but as long as it persisted until the day when Wen Lan's army pressed the border, and then handed over the imperial capital, plus Su Xiaochen's affection was still there, he would definitely be able to exchange for a place in the north to rebuild the Songyang Kingdom.

Ye Zhiqiu thought about it again and again, and felt that there should be nothing wrong with this strategy, even if he temporarily got rid of a crown princess, he would not be able to achieve any climate, and he was sure in his heart at the moment.

However, the world cannot change as people wish.

Pigeon Harrier sent two secret letters to the Hanjiang River and Taiye City respectively, followed by a fierce northwest wind.

A cold wind...... How much power can it be?

There are poems:

The wind swept the snow in the middle of the mountain, and the ice locked the Hanjiang River 10,000 steps.

This northwest wind swept through the snow of the Lingjue Mountain Range, blowing for two days and two nights, freezing the shallows on both sides of the Hanjiang River, and every boat by the pier was imprisoned in the ice!

If this blows for a few more days, the entire Hanjiang River will be completely frozen, then Emperor Wen's 100,000 troops want to cross the river, and they don't even need boats, but the northwest wind stopped two days later.

Both sides of the Hanjiang River have become ice sheets, and the most part of the river is still turbulent and has not been frozen, and the ice near the middle of the river has become dangerous ice that is not thick enough to tread.

As a result, the ships on the wharves on both sides of the Hanjiang River could neither leave the shore, nor could the army cross the river, which was really a dilemma.

The Great Witch God Wen Lan received a secret letter in Taiye City, knowing that it was a good opportunity, he immediately ordered the soldiers and horses in the city, and hurriedly led the people of the three clans towards Binzhou.

The position of the lord of the country is vacant, and if there is no foreign enemy, I am afraid that as time goes by, there will be some suspicions. Only the existence of the enemy army can temporarily gather the three tribes under his command in the name of fighting the enemy.

However, before they arrived in Binzhou, a sergeant from the front came to report that the east bank of the Hanjiang River had been frozen and could not get out of the boat.

At that time, the follow-up reinforcements of the Blade Clan from Baodi City had arrived one after another, and the total strength of Imulan had almost recovered to about 80,000. But these two armies were stopped by the Hanjiang River, and they could only look at each other across the river, which made people feel that God had tried to persuade each other.

Wen Lan was a little sullen, but she was helpless. Fighting on the territory of a foreign country should have been cautious, although the country of the blue sea is now under its control, but the people's will is unstable, the rear is not peaceful, and every step needs to be cautious.

However, compared to Imuran's side, Emperor Wen was much more painful. Since opening the secret letter, Emperor Wen has been pale, and he has not said a word for more than an hour.

He felt that the crown prince was dead.

There was a force hidden in the imperial capital, which he had already felt, and after removing Han Fu, he thought that it was not surprising that the remaining henchmen were no longer there, but he left the imperial capital on the front foot, and this residual force was in trouble.

Gonggong Li colluded with Cao Feihu to plot a retrograde assassination?

However, this kind of trick can only cover up the ears and eyes of the foolish people, and in the end, it can't deceive Emperor Wen of the Muyun clan.

Emperor Wen is not afraid of these moths, his only concern is the safety of the prince.

In the imperial capital, he did not leave eyeliner spies, and these spies would also pass on the news of the movements of the court every day. However, since the army was launched, there was nothing suspicious, and even the crown prince was still secretly lazy, and the court discussions became more and more sloppy, and the time squeezed out was either eating, drinking, or having fun.

Emperor Wen felt at ease when he heard these news, this is like the prince, he can be lazy, it means that there is no major incident in the imperial capital. But how did he get assassinated overnight? And kidnapped the crown princess?

The Dragonscales are killing people everywhere and not doing their own thing in the slightest, apparently out of their control. An army whose commander has been killed must have become a sharp blade in the hands of another character.

The most important thing is that Gonggong Li, who controls the pigeon harrier room, is dead, if the prince has also suffered an accident, then even this pigeon harrier biography is very likely to have a ghost. If this is the case, then the motive for sending the letter to lure me back to the imperial capital must have been a series of schemes.

Emperor Wen thought about it for a while, and decided to stay put, waiting for the report from the imperial capital's eyeline to see if it was consistent with what the pigeon harrier had reported.

Four days later, the probe arrived.

Sure enough, the current situation of the prince is still unclear, no one has seen the condition with their own eyes, and no one knows how the treatment is going, and the only thing that can provide some information is a prescription issued by the Tai Hospital, which is just a few perfunctory strokes, and there is no clue.

Emperor Wen's heart sank completely, although his life was already a fragment, but he did not expect that when the Taishifu fell and he was finally able to reign in a country, he could not even save his son under his knees.

The crown prince is not his own flesh and blood, but he is already the only spiritual sustenance for the rest of his life.

Emperor Wen locked himself in a tent without eating or drinking all day, and he felt that this was the heaviest blow he had suffered since he ascended the throne at the age of ten, and he carefully thought about all the ins and outs from beginning to end. This time, he thought it through.

Since he has lost the crown prince, it means that he has lost his only weakness.

I, Li Houcong, have no scruples and no constraints from now on!

He called the secret agent of the imperial capital again and inquired carefully, and found that all the suspicious points in the investigation report pointed to Pei Ran.

It was he who led the prince to his home for dinner, and he took the dragon scale army to raid the house, and the next day he took the lead to show his loyalty, could it be that this person was pretending to be a thief and shouting to catch a thief?

No!

Although Pei Ran is insatiable, he does not have this hidden strategy.

borrowed ten dares from him, and he didn't dare to plot against the prince.

What's more, Pei Ran's family background is not as good as Chen Qi and Zheng Lun, how can he make the arrogant Chen and Zheng willing to listen to his dispatch?

Emperor Wen invited his ministers to drink tea for decades, and he was confident that he would not be blind to the temperament of these people. But he couldn't figure out who else could so neatly arrange the series of plans to assassinate the crown prince, use the prince Yue to control the imperial capital, and trick himself into turning back.

Who will it be?

Emperor Wen clasped the handle of the throne tightly, and his nails were almost bleeding.

No matter who it is, I will definitely break these traitors into pieces in the future!

It is imperative to find out the kidnapped crown princess, she is a person who has witnessed it, and naturally knows the truth. Only by keeping her can I keep my royal bloodline.

When Emperor Wen thought of this, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Assassinating the crown prince against the party and kidnapping the pregnant crown princess, isn't it aimed at the foundation of my Li emperor's descendants? If he assassinates me in secret, even if he succeeds in the crown prince and the emperor's grandson, any one of them can occupy the position of the royal descendant and regroup the ministers to resist. That's why they have to get rid of the prince's sons and grandsons first, and then they can dig up the foundation of the Li family when I am left alone.

Sure enough, it's a good idea.

Emperor Wen stood up and threw the secret letter into the brazier beside him, and suddenly a puff of green smoke appeared.

At this time, the soldiers outside the door hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, Huo Qinglin, the general of the chariot and cavalry, has an urgent military situation to see." ”

"Xuan!"

Huo Qinglin, the general of the cavalry, was brave and good at fighting, very good at attacking and breaking through tactics, and was the most proud general under the Taishi Mansion in that year. Among all the generals, Han Fu is good at defending, and Huo Qinglin is good at attacking, and they are known as the two best of the cangwu.

It's just that Han Fu is stationed in Gyeonggi all the year round, and Huo Qinglin is basically stationed in all directions, and there is no intersection between them. Emperor Wen also saw that he and Han Fu had always been-for-tat, so he was willing to entrust Huo Qing Lincoln, who was born under the Taishi Mansion, to reuse it, after all, the Taishi Mansion is now gone, wouldn't it be a pity that such generals don't need it?
