Chapter 458: Dilemma

The secret letter that Ye Zhiqiu sent to Taiye City, Wen Lan did not hide it privately, but immediately handed it over to the other four privy councillors to circulate. It was precisely because the news was made public early that the resolution to immediately march west to Hanjiang was passed without hindrance. However, on the seventh day, 80,000 horses of the three clans of the Blood Blade Eagle led by Wen Lan had already settled in Binzhou.

At that time, the cold wind froze both sides of the Hanjiang River, and Wen Lan had no choice but to temporarily station the army near Binzhou Mansion.

Binzhou is located in the south, except for the area on the bank of the river that is directly hit by the northwest wind, the rest of the place is not too cold. Especially for the Imurans, who are accustomed to harsh winters, it can be called warm. It's just that this unbearable day is really worrying.

Some people do things and never let their time go to waste. Even if I have a little free time, I will find my way out to do something.

The second elder of the Wen family is the standard type of person.

The two of them listened to the cold wind howling outside the camp, gossiping with hot old wine, and seemed to be very leisurely, but in fact, after a while, they secretly made a small plan.

Let Lin Tong win over the river.

Since Ye Zhiqiu has made a big fuss in the imperial capital, Emperor Wen will definitely lead his troops to fight back, and at this time, if he spreads some gossip among the Cangwu army to shake the hearts of the army, it will be a wonderful opportunity.

What kind of rumors are spreading?

This is the second elder of the Wen family's forte, but after only a few glasses of wine, he came up with seventeen or eighteen.

What Emperor Wen's harem concubine took the opportunity to strangle the crown prince, or Han Fu's resentment was not dispersed, or the illegitimate son of the Taishi Mansion in the early years secretly took revenge.

In short, all kinds of bloody plots have been coiled over and over, I'm not afraid that you won't believe it, I'm afraid that you won't think of it.

The rumors are getting more and more mysterious, some don't add a few words, and the real ones are mixed together, and you can still distinguish a ghost in your ears when you hear it?

Lin Tongsheng is proficient in disguise techniques, as long as he sneaks into the army for a few days, he will ensure that the rumors will be difficult to settle.

Rumors are that simple?

It's not that simple.

If the emperor is not chaotic, Emperor Wen does not divide the army, and the 100,000 army is together, then the rumors will not get up at all.

However, Ye Zhiqiu messed up the imperial capital in the rear, which was a good opportunity to create something out of nothing. What's more, the second elder of the Wen family didn't know at this time that Huo Qinglin had left Jingzhou with 50,000 horses, which made the spread of rumors far more than expected.

So the second elder of the Wen family drank wine for a long time, and when he was getting drunk, Lin Tongsheng had quietly left the camp and crossed the river.

You asked Lin Tongsheng how to cross the river?

It's really not that hard for him......

So, not long after Huo Qinglin's front foot left Jingzhou for Meilongyu, Lin Tongsheng's back foot arrived in the camp of the Cangwu army.

Emperor Wen easily concealed the news of the rebellion in the imperial capital, and suddenly rumors began to spread in the army. And the content of the rumors is even far more than Emperor Wen himself knows, which can be described as colorful and contemplative.

Emperor Wen was so angry in the camp that he wanted to kill a few long-tongued soldiers Liwei, but he finally gave up because of the image of Renjun, but he didn't dare to mention the matter of dividing the troops back to the imperial capital. It is only because there is also news in this rumor that Imuran claimed to have gathered 80,000 troops, but in fact, he forcibly recruited 40,000 people in various parts of the blue sea, and the total number of troops has reached 120,000, all of which are stationed in Binzhou. Just wait for the early spring to be when the ice disappears, you can cross the river, whether it is true or not, I don't know at all.

120,000, to 50,000? So how can you win?

The soldiers of Cangwu all felt that it might be impossible to hold Jingzhou at this time, and if they knew that Emperor Wen had planned to demolish another 20,000 of these 50,000 people, they were afraid that they would immediately despair.

Emperor Wen spent three days in such a state of anxiety, not daring to divide the troops, and worried that the imperial capital would suddenly cut off supplies one day.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly came from outside the camp to report, saying that the prince accompanied Su Xiaochen to ask to see him.

Emperor Wen was at a loss.

It's been a long time since I've heard that name.

Didn't Ye Zhiqiu say that he was missing?

Emperor Wen waved his hand and motioned for someone to come in.

I saw that it was Su Xiaochen, a scholar in front of the palace who had been given the royal clothes, who walked into the tent, and his complexion was darker than when he saw him two years ago, and he was taller.

Emperor Wen wanted to ask him, but he didn't know what to ask for a while, and looked up and down before he spoke: "What are you...... Where did it come from? ”

"Your Majesty, I'm from the imperial capital."

"Imperial Capital?" Emperor Wen was suddenly a little nervous, and asked, "Do you know the situation in the imperial capital now?" ”

"I can't hide it from Your Majesty, I just went to the outskirts of the imperial capital and did not set foot in the city, but I know the news in the imperial capital."

"How can you know if you don't set foot in the city?" Emperor Wen was a little upset when he heard him call himself me and not a minister.

Su Xiaochen didn't answer, only stretched out his hand and slapped his hands twice.

Immediately, two curvaceous figures appeared out of nowhere.

Su Xiaochen said to one of them: "Vulture Tail, you have investigated, what have you found?" ”

Emperor Wen saw that the figure looked like a ghost, dressed in black, and his face was covered with black cloth. When he was in shock, the black shadow had taken off the black cloth, and his beautiful face made Emperor Wen stunned.

"Master Su, the slave maid did find some clues in the camp, and there are ...... here"

The eagle tail leaned over, stretched out his hand from the top of the king's tent, wiped it, and sniffed again.

"That's not wrong, Lin Tongsheng has been to this big camp, presumably those rumors are spread by him. And he also spied on His Majesty the Emperor in this tent. ”

Emperor Wen's face turned pale: "You mean there was an assassin in this tent?" ”

Eagle Tail shook his head and said, "No, Lin Tongsheng didn't mean to assassinate, he should just be ordered to spread rumors and disturb the morale of the army." ”

"On whose orders?"

Su Xiaochen responded: "Lin Tongsheng only obeys orders in this life, the younger brother of the Great Witch God Wen Lan, one of the five elders of Imuran's privy council, gentle. ”

Emperor Wen looked at Su Xiaochen's face for a while, and said incredulously: "I think you seem to know a lot of things, but I don't even know who you are. But at this moment, what I want to know more is what you want to do when you suddenly appear in this king's tent today. ”

"Your Majesty, who I am is a long story, and it is not that important. The important thing is that since I was taught by the right master, I have always adhered to the wish of my teacher. That is to protect the peace of the people. This should be the same as His Majesty. And now, the capital of Wanhua Emperor is turbulent, and the soldiers and horses of the world are all gathered on both sides of the Hanjiang River, conspiring with each other, and doing everything they can, just waiting for the ice on the river bank to dissolve and disintegrate is the day when the war is about to break out. At such a critical juncture, how could I watch the vast territory that my benefactor had protected before his death being eaten by traitors and foreigners? That's why I suddenly appeared in front of His Majesty today. ”

Emperor Wen knew that Su Xiaochen was Mu Yunyou's personal student, and Mu Yunyou even wrote a letter before he died, mentioning that Su Xiaochen was a usable person.

However, judging from today's situation, although this Su Xiaochen is available, he doesn't know who he is using. The two black-clothed people who followed him, just the one who showed up looked like a flower and was already as beautiful as a flower, and he didn't know what the role of the other person was, as well as his understanding of Imuran's internal affairs, Su Xiaochen was obviously not an ordinary palace scholar.

What happened to him in the days of his disappearance?

Emperor Wen has always been calm, and after listening to Su Xiaochen's words, he didn't answer, but said coldly: "Go on." ”

"Your Majesty may not know that the initiator of the rebellion in the imperial capital is my uncle."

"It turned out to be him...... Sure enough, it's hidden. Emperor Wen snorted, "So, you are here to kill your relatives today?" ”

"Although I call him uncle, I don't have any blood relationship with him, so I won't mention it here. Even though he had the grace to nurture me in the past, as long as it was a disaster in the imperial capital and a person who wanted to secretly start a war, I could distinguish between right and wrong, and seek great righteousness at the expense of petty feelings! Now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been killed......"

"You're talking nonsense!" Emperor Wen shouted angrily, and he suddenly stood up from the throne, and the real golden crown of the Four Seas Swimming Dragon on his head couldn't help but tremble.

The death of the crown prince, Emperor Wen had long been suspicious, but in the end he did not get the exact news, so he always had such a fluke in his heart. Listening to what Su Xiaochen said without hesitation, he said that he came from the imperial capital, and he clearly knew the details, so he must not be a lie. At the moment, it is already a dragon's heart chaos.

Reextension ...... My father's life was already ruined, and I couldn't imagine that I would have to be stabbed again in my lifetime.

Su Xiaochen neither pleaded nor kept his mouth shut, and continued: "...... When the prince was in trouble, the princess was also beside him, and he heard that he was rescued. ”

As soon as Emperor Wen heard the whereabouts of the crown princess, his dead heart had a little hope: "Do you know the whereabouts of the crown princess? ”

Su Xiaochen looked at Emperor Wen for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "I don't know." But since someone superior can save her, I believe that she will not fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

The eagle tail was silent.

If it were her, she would not just tell Emperor Wen the details of the crown princess. As long as he said a word, Emperor Wen was determined to ask Su Xiaochen for those two children next.

The exact news of Li Chongyan's death was perhaps the most devastating of all the news that Emperor Wen had ever heard. He stretched out his hand to signal Su Xiaochen not to speak, turned around and turned his back, and did not look back for a long time.

Su Xiaochen could clearly see that the back of the golden dragon robe was trembling.

Su Xiaochen knew the truth of everything, even Emperor Wen's secret. But because he knew all the ins and outs, he was a little surprised by the non-blood family relationship between Emperor Wen and Li Chongyan, and then it was a kind of sourness.

It turns out that even if you are not a father and son, you can be a father and son......

It turns out that even if there is no blood relationship, it may not be like an uncle treats him, if he is about to leave.

Emperor Wen wasn't necessarily a good emperor, but he was at least a good father.

The two of them sat on each side with their own thoughts, and were silent for a long time.

Finally, Emperor Wen turned around again, and although there was still some sadness on his face, he had regained his composure.

"The matter over there in the imperial capital, you go on, your uncle...... Ye Zhiqiu: What exactly does he want to do. ”
