Temporary tent camps.

King Ning angrily patted the table in the tent and said, "There are so many people, I can't even catch a few masked people, and these people dare to ride on my head." ”

"The prince is angry, the prince is angry." Hou Ping said, "This group of masked men attacked suddenly, and they were out of nowhere, and by the time we got enough of them, they had already fled to Wowo. ”

"In the process of fighting this group of masked people, we are not without the slightest clue." Duanmu said as he pulled out something from his bosom, which he had cut off from one of the masked men when he was fighting him.

King Ning took such a thing and was taken aback. This is a waist card, a copper waist card, on which the word "brocade" is clearly printed.

"Jin Yiwei?" King Ning blurted out, could it be that Jinyiwei started so soon?

"Jinyiwei has a lot of eyeliner, is the man in black tonight really Jinyiwei's person?" Duanmu asked.

"Judging from their skills, these people are all good at kung fu, and I look like people from Jinyiwei." Hou Ping also affirmed, but he also expressed his own doubts, "If it is the people of Jinyiwei, why do they come with their faces covered?" ”

"I guess they're too few of us to fight us." Duanmu Road.

At this time, the other princes who came from Wen Xun also came to the tent.

Duanmu and Hou Ping retreated first.

"King Ning, what's going on? I've heard that someone from the brocade guard has intervened. Tang Wang said.

"It's only been a few days, and Jinyiwei has intervened in this matter, what should we do next?" Kang Wang Dao.

"Brothers, we were indeed attacked tonight, but whether they were Jinyi Guards or not remains to be investigated." Ning Wang said.

"Isn't that the token you are holding in your hand is the token of the Jinyi Guard?" Tang Wang said.

"It's true that the tokens in their hands are Jinyiwei, but they don't have to be Jinyiwei's people." Ning Wang said.

"Where did you tell they weren't from the brocade guard?" King Kang asked.

"They have good kung fu, this is similar to Jinyiwei, but what kind of organization is Jinyiwei, he will send such people? This is the first, second, the people of the Jinyi Guard are usually very domineering, but this time they appear in masks, I suspect that there is a ghost behind them, and third, the weapon in the hand of the Jinyi Guard is an embroidered spring knife, but the weapon in their hand is not. ”

"What King Ning said is reasonable, but I think that at this time, except for the Jinyi Guard, no other organization will fight against us, and the masked is because they have few people for the time being, so as not to let us recognize it, they made a decision. Weapons don't say anything, they can be turned into other weapons at any time, which is also one of their means of cover. Tang Wang said.

King Kang nodded and said, "I agree with King Tang's opinion, we have to consider this matter in the long run." ”

"A few brothers don't worry, even if they are Jinyiwei, what can they do? Wasn't Jiujiang easily taken down by us? We are now in an orthodox crusade, in accordance with the will of Providence. As long as we brothers work together, the world is ours. Ning Wang said.

"There are still two days to go to Nankang, and I don't know what moths will come out on the way." Kang Wang Dao.

"The officials in Jiangxi have almost been used by me, and how many people will come to oppose us, Nankang should not know that we have already taken Jiujiang, and when the time comes, it will be easy for us to take it down." Ning Wang said.

King Tang nodded, "Thanks to what King Ning said, we can easily take Nankang, go all the way, and take Liudu, so that other state capitals will respond more." ”

"Yes, some people are still waiting, and we have to fight for these wall grass." Kang Wang Dao.

"Brothers, it's not early, you go down and rest first." King Ning said to several county kings.

They looked at the sky and said goodbye to King Ning.

Only King Ning was left in the tent, he thought about what happened tonight, at this time, except for Wang Sizhong and Wang Laohu, it would not be anyone else, and it was impossible for Jinyiwei to stop him. He did not expect the strength of the two kings, and it was not as he estimated that he had underestimated them.

It's dawn. Everything seems to be calm again.

At this time, someone came to report to King Ning: "General, someone from Nankang has sent news. ”

Who is King Ning, he had already arranged some things everywhere before the incident, and in Nankang, he had such an inside line. As soon as he heard the news from Nankang, he immediately asked the messenger to come in.

In the tent, King Ning summoned the king of the county and his subordinates to a meeting to discuss the strategy of attacking Nankang.

"I got the news from Nankang just now, the defenders on Nankang's side are only 20,000, and our people can squeeze them to death." Ning Wang said.

Everyone nodded excitedly when they heard the news.

"However, there is also bad news, I heard that the Dog Emperor is sending troops." Ning Wang said.

"They're moving so soon?" Tang Wang said.

"This has not been confirmed, and my people have only heard the rumors. I'm inviting you here just to hear your thoughts. Ning Wang said.

"If we want to send troops, we haven't sent troops yet, we are so close to Nankang, no matter what, we will arrive at Nankang one step earlier than them, we will strike first and seize Nankang one step earlier." Tang Wang said.

"The court can send people in such a short period of time, and the speed is fast enough." Hou Ping said, "Lord Wang, if this is the case, I think it must be Jinyiwei last night." ”

"The Jinyi guard has arrived, and the reinforcements have also arrived." Duanmu Road.

"King Ning, do we have to consider the strategy of attacking, since they know that we are going to start with Nankang, can we take a detour and start from other places, or go north from Anhui and then start with other places." Kang Wang Dao.

"King Kang is right, they are prepared, and we will surprise them, from others

Place bypass. Tang Wang said.

"It seems that everyone thinks that the Dog Emperor has sent someone, but I don't think so." Ning Wang said.

"Why does King Ning think this is their smoke bomb again?" Tang Wang said.

"I already said yesterday that those people are not Jinyiwei at all, and the more they try to lure us to Jinyiwei, the more suspicious I become. There could be no reinforcements in Nankang, so we continued to march towards Nankang as originally planned. Ning Wang said.

"What if Nankang really has reinforcements?" King Tang said uneasily.

"If there are reinforcements, we'll know right away." Ning Wang said.

Wang Laohu's temporary residence.

"I didn't expect King Ning to be more difficult to deal with than I thought, his army is still marching towards Nankang." Wang Laohu sighed.

"Nankang can't be saved, and what's worse is that they didn't send anyone back to Nanchang at all." Often meet the spring road.

"Our little people are simply not enough to take Nanchang City." Wang Laohu said.

"Childe, it's not like your character at all." Qi Shun said, "No matter how difficult King Ning is to deal with, there will always be his flaws." ”

"Yes, where is King Ning's breakthrough point?" Wang Laohu was puzzled.

"King Ning seems to know that Jinyiwei will not go south, and he is sure that the emperor will not send troops, so he dares to be so arrogant." Often meet the spring road.

"This man should not be underestimated." Wang Laohu said, "Now only by relying on strength can we stop his progress." ”

"Princess, General Shi has returned to Hangzhou." Pan Tai entered the room and said to Wang Laohu.

Wang Laohu, who had never heard from him, heard such news, as if he had grasped some hope, and said to Pan Tai: "Is there any news from General Shi's side?" ”

Pantai took out the letter that had just flown from the pigeon. Wang Laohu took the note and said helplessly: "General Shi has found nothing in the capital this time, and the military department means that we should not meddle in Hangzhou, and Jiangxi will solve the affairs of Jiangxi itself." ”

"Is this military department blind, King Ning has rebelled, and he still says such things." Qi Shun.

Shi Youcai returned in vain, but Zhou Liang was detained by Jinyiwei, and Wang Laohu felt that what he had to do was no longer what he could think about. To deal with the king of Huining, either drive him to Zhejiang, or contact the relevant forces, concentrate on attacking Nanchang, and lead him back to help, but where is this power.

Wang Lao has no soldiers, Wang Laohu only has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and it is not easy to attack Nanchang.

At this time, Wang Laohu received what he thought was good news, Wang Lao asked someone to send a letter, and he had already borrowed troops. This news made Wang Laohu excited.

"Wang Lao's news is really timely, with Wang Lao's prestige, it is not a problem to borrow tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, when the time comes, attack Nanchang, is it strange that King Ning does not return to Nanchang?" Wang Laohu said.

Everyone was also very happy to hear the news, but there was another problem, Chang Yuchun said: "Son, it is not a matter of a day or two for Wang Lao to borrow troops, so in these times, King Ning will not be born in peace." ”

"You're right, he won't be born in peace, and we can't be born in peace, King Ning will soon break through Nankang, there is not much suspense, break through Nankang, and King Ning will enter the territory of Anhui. Anqing. As soon as Wang Laohu talked about Anqing, his heart hung for a moment, there was a person in Anqing, if King Ning entered Anqing, Anqing would not be guaranteed.

As soon as he thought of this little Jiujiu, Wang Laohu immediately became worried, Ouyang Yan's safety had to be guaranteed, but now he couldn't get out of here, so he had to ask someone to pick up Ouyang Yan and give Lord Gu a wake-up call by the way.

Wang Laohu thought about it for a long time, and finally thought of arriving in Anqing in advance before King Ning broke through Anqing, and reminded Lord Gu, but the 20,000 soldiers and horses could not move, and these people had to play an important role in the attack on Nanchang.

So, he made the following suggestions to Wang Lao.

Wang Sizhong's Mansion.

"I used people to confuse King Ning, and wanted him to think that someone from Jinyi Wei intervened, and then released news in Nankang, saying that the emperor had sent troops south, but I didn't expect that King Ning was not fooled, he still followed the original route, and next, he would attack Nankang."

"King Ning has been carefully operating for so long, he must have figured out something, and he is also very confident, I believe that in such a little time, the emperor will not be able to gather so many troops." Wang Lao Dao.

"You're right, I'm underestimating him a little bit in this battle."

"We don't have enough troops right now, and if we chase him closely, we will most likely be eaten by him." Wang Lao Dao.

"Elder Wang, when will the soldiers you borrowed will be in place?" Wang Laohu asked.

"It's hard to say now, some of these soldiers I borrowed, some of them are my students, and some of them are my friends, but whether they are willing to borrow them or not, I can't handle when they will be in place."

"If we can't borrow soldiers, we can't do anything to the people in Nanchang City, and we can't chase all the way, which is really nerve-wracking."

"General Wang doesn't need to be discouraged, we already have 20,000 soldiers and horses, if there are more soldiers and horses, it will be safer for us to deal with King Ning. We'll figure it out. ”

"I don't doubt Elder Wang at all, now that you have raised the banner of righteousness and become famous, it's just that we haven't thought of a way to lure King Ning back to the city."

"King Ning went out of Nanchang this time, it seems that it is inevitable, he killed the governor of Jiangxi, Li Press, and Xu Ting, the deputy envoy of the inspection, which shocked the officials of Jiangxi, some people were afraid because of this, and some people had already submitted to him, so it was difficult to take troops from Jiangxi."

"Elder Wang, King Ning refuses to go back to Nanchang, and it is very disadvantageous for us to drag it down. I have carefully analyzed the route of the king of Ning, he took Jiujiang, and now he is marching towards Nankang, and I suspect that after Nankang, he marched in the direction of Anqing in Anhui, and then captured Liudu. ”

"I have the same idea as you, if he takes Liudu, half of the Da Ming Qi will be lost, so we have to think of a way before King Ning takes Liudu."

"Elder Wang, I want to go to Anqing in person to buy some time for Elder Wang."

"You want to lead the troops before

To Anqing to resist King Ning? Wang Lao said puzzledly.

"I won't move 20,000 soldiers and horses, there is a great need for people here." Wang Laohu said.

"General Wang, if you don't bring people, how can you fight with King Ning?"

"I know that Elder Wang's side needs people more, so I will leave 20,000 people behind and let Elder Wang command. I can't change anything when I come to Anqing, maybe I can only let King Ning spend more time, I hope what I do is meaningful, and during this time, please ask Wang Lao to come up with a way. Wang Laohu said.

"General Wang, I am very worried that you went to Anqing alone."

"Elder Wang, Anqing Qianhu is my friend, and I am not fighting with King Ning head-on, I just want to delay King Ning for a little more time."

"I admire General Wang's single-minded sentiment for the Ming Dynasty, and you must pay attention to your own safety when you go this time." Wang Lao Dao.

"Elder Wang, I'm waiting for your good news." Wang Laohu said.

After explaining the reason to Wang Laohu, Wang Laohu left his 20,000 soldiers and horses and handed them over to him for dispatch. He took Wang Biao and about 20 escorts to Anqing.

When Wang Laohu was marching towards Anqing, King Ning had already launched an attack on Nankang.

Nankang, because of the disparity in troops, and the city still has the inner response to King Ning, so it only took King Ning four days to break through the city, and the general Li Shui was captured.

And Li Shui sent people to escape from Nankang before Nankang was broken through, and he wanted to explain everything here to the Holy Lord.

South Cannes.

King Ning's soldiers entered the city in large numbers, and the city was in shambles.

"Li Shui, have you ever thought that one day, when I asked you to join my camp, you refused to live or die, and now you still fall into my hands."

"Rebellious ministers and thieves, you rebelled, do you think you will have a good end?" Sharp waterway.

"I am orthodox in this Ming Dynasty, you have all been deceived by others, you see my people, the soldiers are strong, all the cities are vulnerable, and most of the officials in Jiangxi have surrendered to me, only you are stubborn, conformist, ignorant, and still resisting me."

"Do you think that Daming only has Jiangxi? When you go out of Jiangxi, the outside is your death. ”

"Hahahaha, you're too naïve, I'm doing right, I'm doing right, and I've almost done everything along the way, you think everyone is so stubborn to you."

"You, you're so despicable."

"It's not that I'm despicable, it's that you don't know how to practice." King Ning said, "General Che Xun, who stayed in Jiujiang, has been killed by me. ”

"You, you brute, General Che, General Che." The old tears are full of tears.

"However, I will not kill you, I will keep it for you to see how I take back the world." Ning Wang said.

"Hmph, I'm going to keep my life and see how you end."

Nankang was taken in this way, and the men and horses of King Ning rested in Nankang for three days, and then continued to move forward, as expected by Wang Laohu, after Nankang, he went out of Jiangxi and entered the border of Anhui.

Anqing City.

It was an ordinary afternoon, a theater stage, was performing Huangmei opera, several actors were on the stage, and the play ended.

Drama backstage.

The actors who had just finished the show were removing their makeup, and a row of actors and actresses were slowly unloading their clothes in front of the mirror, because they were also in a hurry, and there was still some time before eating, so everyone was talking and laughing while undressing. An old man came from outside and shouted inside: "Class master, class master, Wang Gongzi is coming to you." ”

The old man rushed in, Ouyang Yan was sitting on the side, she hadn't participated in the performance for a long time since she became the head of the troupe.

Ouyang Yan got up from the chair, the curtain in the backstage was lifted, and a familiar person appeared in front of Ouyang Yan and everyone, he was Wang Laohu, who rushed to Anqing.

The two of them stared at each other for a few seconds, but it was Ouyang Yan who took the lead in asking, "Prince Wang, why did you come to Anqing." ”

Wang Laohu looked at the actor who was removing his makeup and said, "I came here to watch the play, but unfortunately I was a step late, and the play is over." ”

A little junior sister said: "Wang Gongzi wants to watch a play, we can play an extra show." ”

Wang Laohu said: "How to take on this, now it's dinner time again." ”

"Wang Gongzi, it's rare for you to come here, just have a light meal in our theater, I'll let people add a few dishes, I'm just afraid that Wang Gongzi won't be used to our meals." Ouyang Yan said.

"We're all so acquainted, I'll still dislike these, I'm afraid I won't have this blessing."

Hearing Wang Laohu say this, Ouyang Yan was still quite happy.

After dinner, Wang Laohu was alone with Ouyang Yan.

"Miss Ouyang, are you doing well here in Anqing?"

"I'm doing my old job, that's all." Ouyang Yan said, "How did Wang Gongzi think of coming to Anqing?" ”

"I want to get you out of here." Wang Laohu said.

Ouyang Yan's face turned red when she heard this, she didn't expect that Wang Laohu would make a special trip to Anqing this time, so she would take Ouyang Yan out of here.

Wang Laohu suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and more than a thousand ants and hundred-legged insects crawled around his chest, and the poison began to rage on him again. A few large beads of sweat had burst out on his forehead.

Ouyang Yan saw Wang Laohu holding his chest tightly, with beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead, knowing that he was unwell, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Wang Laohu and said, "Wang Gongzi, what's wrong with you?" ”

During this period of time, the pain on his body has become more and more severe, more and more painful each time, and the time of the attack has also been shortened, Wang Laohu knows that this poison is getting more and more serious.

He couldn't answer Ouyang Yan's question, he just pressed his chest tightly, Ouyang Yan panicked, at this time the stage was playing, and most of her senior brothers and sisters were playing.

Wang Laohu's guards were not with him either, and she was going back to find these people.
