Ye Dezhang stopped slapping himself, stretched out his beaten red face and whispered: "After the two slaves and maids fled to the ** military camp, they were locked up. Today, one day at a time, people keep asking us about the situation of the soldiers and horses of our Dayan Kingdom, and it is naturally impossible for the two slaves and maids to say anything with a clear conscience. Tonight, I don't know who revealed that the slaves and maids were from His Majesty's side, so after dinner we were brought to the big tent of the cavalry general of the Shence Army for interrogation. ”

"Is it Wang Yuan?" An Qingxu interjected and asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's not Wang Yuan. It is the general of the cavalry, and I heard that it is Wang Yuan's righteous son, a half-sized son surnamed Liu. Ye Dezhang said.

An Qingxu nodded, he knew that it was Liu Jun, but he was just saying something to test whether the two of them were talking about it.

"Go on."

"Yes. The general surnamed Liu asked east and west, and Yang Dehao and I pretended to be deaf and dumb to pass the buck with him. We have suffered a lot of punches and kicks for this, but how can the two slaves and maids reveal the secrets of His Majesty and the army because they have been beaten. When the stalemate was in place, a soldier suddenly came to the tent to report the military situation to the man surnamed Liu. The soldier opened his mouth and said, "The messenger has arrived." After hearing this, the general surnamed Liu waved his hand to stop him from speaking, and said: Take them to the side tent to reply.

Yang Dehao and I were very curious, their performance was sneaky and very secret, and what to say about sending a letter over there, the slave maid had a heart. So when the surnamed Liu took the soldier to the next door for questioning, Yang Dehao and I took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the tent and went to the tent to eavesdrop. ”

"What do you hear?" An Qingxu frowned and asked.

The slaves and maids didn't hear the whole story, and they spoke very quietly. But Your Majesty knew that the ears of the slaves and maids were very sharp, and they could hear some of them only through the first layer of the tabernacle. The soldier's report to General Liu appeared several times in the name of Prime Minister Yan, and he also said things such as "the enemy camp is coming", "everything is ready", "attack in one fell swoop", and the words also mentioned His Majesty's name, and also said what kind of letters were sent. In short, the intermittent ones seem to be related to His Majesty and Prime Minister Yan. ”

What does that mean? What do they say about me? And what did Yan Cheng do? An Qingxu said in astonishment.

"The slaves don't quite understand it. But the slaves knew that it was not a good thing, so they had a heart. General Naliu came back not long after, and seemed to be in a happy mood, saying that he would soon be able to break through the big camp of our Great Yan Kingdom. He doesn't ask us anything anymore. He said that since the two of us had served His Majesty, we must be very good at serving, and he asked us to stay in his big tent and serve him, saying that there was no one to serve him under his tent. He also said that the affairs of Dayan Kingdom and Datang have nothing to do with us people, and we are not allowed to have two hearts, and serve him well, and will give us a way out in the future. Of course, we can't ask for it, it's better than being locked up in a fence. What's more, the slave maid still has important things to do, and she can't do it. Ye Dezhang said.

An Qingxu said happily: "You can just get close to the enemy general and kill him while he is asleep." ”

Ye Dezhang said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, you also think too highly of the two of us, how can the two of us have so much courage." Besides, General Liu has hundreds of guards outside the tent, and General Liu himself is also strong in martial arts, what can we do? We don't dare to kill a chicken or duck, so how dare we make a living from assassination. ”

An Qingxu's mood was instantly depressed, and he scolded: "Two stupid people, incompetent." ”

"Yes, yes, the slave and the maid are stupid, but the slave and the maid took this opportunity to find out the big secret." Ye Dezhang said.

"What do you mean?" An Qingxu's brain is obviously not very good, and he has not yet turned a corner.

"It's the incident that the slaves and maids overheard just now, and the slaves and maids think that this matter must be related to His Majesty and Prime Minister Yan. The slave surnamed Liu didn't know that the slave and maid had overheard some of their conversation. So Yang Dehao and I pretended to be tame and carefully served General Liu. Your Majesty, you don't know the craftsmanship of the two of us, Yang Neishi's skill of beating his back and pinching his feet is a must, and His Majesty should also know the means of serving people by the slaves themselves. General Liu was soon greeted by our frowning smiles, and praised us. Ye Dezhang said.

An Qingxu scolded: "Two dog things, recognize the thief as the father." Why don't you stay there and serve him forever? ”

Ye Dezhang scratched his head and said, "Your Majesty, the slaves are pretending." The general who was waiting for him complied, and he soon fell asleep in the tent. The two slaves and maids stared in the small tent next to them. On the second watch, the slaves and maidservants saw that everyone was asleep, so they quietly got up. We said that we would prepare tomorrow morning's minced meat for General Liu, and that it would have to be stewed in the pot in the middle of the night, and the guards did not suspect him, so they let us into the big tent. Yang Dehao and I went into the side tent separated by the big tent, and sure enough, we found a letter on the desk. The two of us read the letter secretly and were terrified. Your Majesty, fortunately, the slaves and maids had a long heart, overheard the conversation, and stole the letter, otherwise Your Majesty would have been kept in the dark, and I don't know how he died. ”

An Qingxu was stunned: "What is written in the letter?" What kind of letter? ”

Ye Dezhang said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, do you know where the letter was sent to the ** military camp?" ”

"Where? Say it. Touching the sale of the off. An Qingxu said anxiously.

"Yes, yes, you must not believe it, the letter was sent from our camp to the ** camp. The person who wrote his heart is none other than the Yan Prime Minister of our Dayan Kingdom. Ye Dezhang said in a low voice in An Qingxu's ear.

An Qingxu's ears sounded like a thunderbolt from a sunny day, and for a moment he seemed to understand something.

"What is written in the letter?" An Qingxu gritted his teeth and asked.

"What is written in the letter is that Prime Minister Yan and ** agreed to lead ** to attack the camp tomorrow and let ** break through the camp in one fell swoop. He also said that his majesty would be tied up and offered to ** as a gift. Ye Dezhang said.

"What? It's the other way around, it's the other way around. The dog thief is solemn and dares to eat inside and out. An Qingxu scolded.

"Shhh That would be bad for Your Majesty. ”

An Qingxu gasped and nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Are you sure that is a letter written by Yan Zhuang?" What about faith? Did you bring it? ”

Ye Dezhang said in a low voice: "The slave maid saw Prime Minister Yan's signature with her own eyes. The slaves and maids are by His Majesty's side all day long, and I have read a lot of the pieces that Prime Minister Yan sent to His Majesty to see, how can I mistake Prime Minister Yan's signature? I had intended to carry the letter with me as proof, but when I thought about it, if I took the letter, if they found it, wouldn't it be a surprise? So they didn't take it. But the content of the letter was true, and the two slaves vouched for it with their heads. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, you can't take the letter. What else does the letter say? An Qingxu asked with shaking hands.

In that letter, Prime Minister Yan and the Tang people made a plan, he wanted the ** soldiers and horses to attack from the western valley tomorrow. He will withdraw the soldiers and horses from the west and let ** attack the big camp. He will send someone to take His Majesty and present it to the Tang people when he attacks the city tomorrow. At the cost of this, he demanded that the cavalry outside the northern valley be withdrawn from a way of life, so that he could easily escape from the northern valley with a small group of soldiers and horses tomorrow. Ye Dezhang said.

"So vicious, so solemn, no wonder he persuaded me to surrender that day. It turned out that he had long been thinking about self-preservation. I didn't agree to surrender, he was afraid that he would die here, so he made a treacherous plan with the Tang people to sell his master to survive. Dog thing, this dog thing, damn thing. An Qingxu paced back and forth like a roaring lion, cursing incessantly.

When the slaves and maids saw this letter, they dared to slack off. Your Majesty treats the slaves and maids like a mountain, and the slaves and maids must also report the news to Your Majesty. So the two of us escaped from the ** camp overnight, and we didn't dare to take the valley road, and rolled all the way over the east mountain. You see, the clothes on our bodies are all scratched, and Yang Dehao's feet are twisted, and now they are all swollen and tall. Your Majesty, although the slaves and maids deserve to die, but we are afraid of cowardice, and the slaves and maids are still loyal to Your Majesty. Ye Dezhang cried.

"Okay, you two are fine, I'm not to blame. What should I do now? Give me an idea. What should I do now? An Qingxu said with a pale face.

"Your Majesty, what the slave means is that let's not make a noise for now, so as not to startle the snake. Now the soldiers and horses are all in the hands of Prime Minister Yan, once the matter is revealed, he will be forced to take risks. Now we should confirm whether this is true or not, and then we will think about it. ”

"How to confirm, do you want to ask Yan Zhuang? Or will it not be confirmed until tomorrow when something happens, and I am solemnly tied up by him and dedicated to the Tang people? An Qingxu shouted.

"Of course, you can't ask Yan Zheng, and you can't wait until tomorrow. In that letter, Yan Zhuang asked the Tang people to withdraw the soldiers and horses outside the valley in the north tonight, so that he could escape smoothly tomorrow. We just need to find out if the ** in the north is evacuated tonight, can't we prove the truth of this matter? It's almost four days now, and the withdrawal must start now, and it's a good opportunity to investigate. ”

"That's right, I'm sending someone to take a look. I'll send someone to take a look. An Qingxu said busily.

"Your Majesty, don't make a big deal and let Xiao Maozi secretly go to the north mountain to take a look. After passing through the soldiers, it will let Yan Zhuang know and arouse his suspicions. Ye Dezhang said.

"Yes, then let Xiao Maozi take a look. God unknowingly listened to the situation. An Qingxu nodded again and again.
