"Is it really okay to attack rashly like this?"

Standing on the tower with only a few torches lit, the little fat man couldn't help but wrap his cloak tightly, but he still felt a little cold. This is not because the night weather is cold, but because he already knows that Zhu Hanqing is quietly sneaking to Beiyan's temporary camp with the dead soldiers who are willing to take risks. After muttering a sentence to himself, he couldn't help but glance sideways when he heard that there was no answer from his side.

I saw that Zhou Jiyue was like a clay carved wood sculpture, without even blinking her eyes, looking straight at the little lights not far away. If Yue Qianqiu was here, she would definitely feel that there were no high-power searchlights these days, no matter how much grease the torch or the fire tray was, it was impossible for them to emit too much light and heat, but she only hoped that those lights could be dimmer.

She didn't understand until now why Master Yue would support Bai Bufan's obviously reckless and greedy suggestion! Although there are few people in the city, Bazhou City is one of the fortified cities in Northern Xinjiang, as long as it can be held on to it, it will be absolutely difficult for the Northern Yan army to surpass Lei Chi. Compared to the current hundreds of dead soldiers leaving the city with Zhu Hanqing, the risk of doing so is much smaller!

She was slightly distracted until the little fat man called twice, and then she came back to her senses. Realizing that the young prince beside her wanted to get a little confidence and encouragement from her, she knew that she should say something to him to boost morale, but when the words came to her lips, they finally turned into a sigh.

Immediately after, she whispered, "I hope it doesn't matter ...... too."

This is certainly not the answer that the little fat man wants to hear. Therefore, he could only cheer himself up and say, "It must be fine!" Zhu Hanqing is a general, Bai Bufan has been on the battlefield with his grandfather and father in the past, plus the previous people are very popular, as long as this battle can play the majesty of Bazhou City, then this Northern Yan soldiers and horses that came out of nowhere are the same as the soldiers and horses of the previous Northern Yan Puppet Emperor, where they come from, they will go! ”

The little fat man spoke domineeringly, and as soon as his words fell, he heard the unison of several young guards of the East Palace next to him, and he was suddenly even more excited. So, when the little monkey's waist flashed quietly, he didn't notice it at all, until he heard someone muttering with Zhou Jiyue, and then he turned his head to look over.

"Little monkey, what are you doing sneaking around there? Is there anything I can't listen to? ”

The little monkey was suddenly a little embarrassed, but what made him relieved was that Zhou Jiyue patted him lightly on the shoulder, and then stepped forward to block in front of him, just withstanding the little fat man's rather angry gaze.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, General Zhu is leaving, and all the defenses in the city have been handed over to his lieutenant general. But at best, there are only more than 1,000 people left, and it is difficult to cover everything. Therefore, the Yue adults asked the little monkey to come and send me a message, asking me to pick a few people and personally lead the team to patrol the city, so as not to float people's hearts. ”

Zhou Jiyue didn't need to look back to know how shocked the little monkey behind her was, but she couldn't say it. Although the news was unconfirmed, it was only heard by the little monkey from Feng Zhen, and Feng Zhen was even more because of the sprouts that she had when she was rebuilding the field and dealing with merchants from all sides, but when Zhu Hanqing left the city to attack, she did not dare to take it lightly.

Therefore, she tried her best to face the little fat man's suspicious gaze as if nothing had happened, until the other party gestured a little uncomfortably, she breathed a sigh of relief, and after saluting, she glanced at the little monkey. After taking a few steps, she noticed that the little monkey was catching up, and her pace was faster, and when she got down the stairs, she said without looking back: "Don't tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beforehand." ”

The little monkey just found out that Zhou Jiyue was talking nonsense with her eyes open, and when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Why?" Obviously, it is a major event that someone in the city may collaborate with the enemy, why not let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know, and make preparations in advance? ”

"If it was before General Zhu Xiao attacked, of course he should let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know, but now that General Zhu Xiao has led people to attack, such news will only fluctuate people's hearts and even cause a big mess." Zhou Jiyue said and turned to face the little monkey neatly, her eyes were as sharp as knives, "Where is Miss Feng now?" She's not going to spread the word, is she? ”

Only then did the little monkey realize the seriousness of the matter, and immediately said pitifully: "She said that she overheard a secret discussion between several merchants, so she hurriedly came over to tell me." Master is not here, I came to you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and asked her to meet Master Yue. I don't think she's going to be so big and yelling around. ”

If it was usual, hearing that Feng Zhen was going to find Master Yue, Zhou Jiyue would definitely breathe a sigh of relief. But now, she only felt that her heart, which had been in mid-air, was suddenly completely tense. Lord Yue agreed to Bai Bufan's suggestions for the first time today, and picked up Zhu Hanqing and led people to attack at night, this very abnormal behavior revealed a little weird, how could people rest assured?

Therefore, she immediately said without thinking: "Let's go, let's go to Taishou Mansion to see Lord Yue!" ”

However, when Zhou Jiyue took the little monkey and hurried to the gate of Taishou Mansion on horseback, she saw that at night, Feng Zhen was going back and forth at the door. When she jumped off the horse, Feng Zhen, who heard the movement, also hurriedly raised her head, and when she found that it was them, the little girl immediately rushed over like a gust of wind.

She grabbed Zhou Jiyue's arm mercilessly: "Lord Zhou, the people who are too guarded by the mansion say that Lord Yue is not there, and they refuse to see me!" But I really don't have nothing to bother with, I have something very important to do......"

Without waiting for Feng Zhen to finish speaking, Zhou Jiyue pulled her to the side, and then lowered her voice and asked, "Have you made the matter clear to the people at the gate of the Taishou Mansion?" ”

"How could that be! No matter how stupid I am, I won't be so careless! Feng Zhen saw that the little monkey was also chasing after her, and gestured to her desperately, meaning to let her tell the truth, she knew that Zhou Jiyue already knew, and hurriedly argued, "I just said that there is something important to tell the more adults, but the door insisted that the more adults are not there, I can only wait here for him to come back." ”

Knowing that the news had not yet spread, Zhou Jiyue's heart was slightly relieved, and then immediately asked: "How did you find out that someone is connected to Beiyan?" ”

Hearing Feng Zhen whisper about what happened, Zhou Jiyue's brows gradually furrowed.

Of course she knew that the little girl in front of her was the daughter of the Feng family of the Daimyo Mansion, and she was naïve, that is, because she had some dealings with Peng Ming, the master of the Iron Cavalry Club, she had finally undergone a little tempering, but in any case, if those who wanted to betray Bazhou City would be so cautious as to let such a little girl find out...... Could it be that all those who are plotting rebellion and rebellion are stupid?

Sure enough, what Feng Zhen said was like child's play, and it turned out to be a simple conspiration in the box next door in a restaurant!

Glad that she had stopped the little monkey from stabbing the news to the prince immediately, Zhou Jiyue breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "Who are those people who spoke, have you seen it clearly?" Did you inquire about it afterwards? ”

"It's a few merchant kids, I saw them on the way to Bazhou!"

That's even more wrong! Zhou Jiyue became more vigilant, and after asking a few details, she instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this. It's just that she didn't think that Feng Zhen was lying, but only thought that what the little girl saw and heard was likely to be someone else's design. But the few words that Feng Zhen said inadvertently made her a little calm.

"Lord Zhou, what I said is true! Moreover, the people in the box at that time spoke very loudly, even if it was drunk, it was too much, right? Besides, they also said that the soldiers and horses in the city would definitely attack at night, so it was just right to take this opportunity to open the city gates! They also scolded General Liu for being capricious, saying that this pit would also kill him! By the way, there were other people passing by outside, and maybe I wasn't the only one who heard it......"

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Hearing it, some people might hear it, Zhou Jiyue only felt that her brain was about to explode. She couldn't care about Feng Zhen anymore, turned around and jumped on the horse's back like a gust of wind, beating the horse hard and galloping away towards the city tower before.

As she struggled forward, countless thoughts swirled through her mind. It would be best if someone just deliberately released a rumor and disturbed the morale of the military in the city, but if it wasn't...... If not, then why did the news leak early? Could it be that in the name of leaking the news, some people have to act immediately?

Although the night breeze was a little cool, Zhou Jiyue felt that the whole person was too hot and dry. When she saw that the tower where the little fat man was located was in front of her, she suddenly heard a dull sound of war drums. At that moment, she only felt that her hairs stood on end, and her teeth even chattered unconsciously.

She is already a very bold person, even if she was displaced and lost her only sister back then, she was not as frightened as she is now. The thought that the gate not far away was likely to open in the next moment, and even the long sword at her waist did not give her more confidence. Just then, she heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her.

She thought it was a little monkey chasing after her, but the shouting of the visitor pierced the silent night sky.

"The De'an Gate next to the field has been opened!"

Is it the De'an Gate in the north of the field, not the Wansheng Gate where the little fat man, the prince of Wu, is currently located? When this thought came to mind, Zhou Jiyue almost did not hesitate to turn the horse's head and gallop towards the comer, and then jumped away from the horse and pounced, directly pulling the sergeant off the horse. She grabbed the sergeant by the collar with her left hand, then reached out with her right hand, locking his throat tightly.

"Who told you to do that?"

The sergeant wanted to shout, but he was almost out of breath by her throat lock, the fear of suffocation due to lack of oxygen and the staring of the murderous eyes, and finally involuntarily said: "It's Captain Chen, it's those merchants who bribed him...... He disliked General Liu for being pressed against him since he took office, and wanted to defect to Beiyan......"

Hearing this, Zhou Jiyue no longer had the heart to talk to this guy, who was very likely to be a traitor, and with a neat cross-cut knocked the person to the ground, she turned back and turned over on her mount. When she arrived at the bottom of the city tower, she saw that the little fat man was desperately pushing a few guards, and she insisted on coming down the stairs, but was stopped by Liu Fangyuan, so she immediately jumped off the horse and rushed up.

"Where is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going?"

"Does that need to be said? De'anmen, of course! It's that loud, I can't hear it? The little fat man shouted angrily, and the whole person was about to go crazy, "Someone has opened the city gate, of course I have to go over ......"

"What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince do in the past? Presiding over the Guardian? Calm the hearts of the army? Or is it self-defeating? ”

The three rhetorical questions made the little fat man stunned for a moment, and Zhou Jiyue said to the others who also woke up like a dream, "Look at His Royal Highness the Prince, this is not the time to be impulsive!" I'll go to De'anmen to have a look! ”

When the little fat man saw Zhou Jiyue turn around and was about to leave, he hurriedly wanted to chase down, but everyone around him had already rushed up, completely blocking his way. He was so angry that he could only shout loudly: "It's already this time, what is the use of me as a prince if the city is broken?" "If he knew this, he should have carried out the idea from beginning to end, and he shouldn't have let people attack!

"Just open a gate, far from the time to break the city. Besides, it doesn't have to be collusion between inside and outside......"

When Zhou Jiyue said this, she suddenly saw a fire shot into the sky somewhere in the city, as if it was some kind of special message fireworks. Faced with this scene, she was not as panicked as she had just heard the news from the little monkey before, and when she had just heard the shout. Stimulated by this series of news, she actually felt that the whole person was as calm as ice and snow.

Lord Yue's peculiar attitude, Feng Zhen's conspiracy that he heard like child's play, the sergeant who had just been taken by himself shouted everywhere that the city gate had been opened, and the fireworks in front of him...... As if everything was showing that the situation in Bazhou City was about to get out of control, he told the Northern Yan army outside the city to pounce immediately. But is there really such a hole in this city?

At the critical moment, the acting Taishou is not in the Taishou Mansion, where is the person?

She had already reached the edge of the mount and retracted her steps, then turned around slowly, and actually returned to the little fat man who was thundering like thunder, and then glanced at the guards around her who were angry, frightened or resentful, and a calm smile appeared on her face: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, the overall situation has been decided, and the Yan army has fallen into the middle of the army!" ”

"What?" The little fat man's eyes widened all at once, and he couldn't believe his ears. Although he guessed a certain possibility from Zhou Jiyue's words, he swallowed hard and stammered and asked, "Is this ...... Traps? ”

"Nine times out of ten." Although there was no certainty in her heart at all, in front of so many people at this time, Zhou Jiyue's tone seemed steady and indifferent. She took a light breath, and then said word by word, "If a cautious person like Lord Yue, if he hadn't been prepared, how could he let General Zhu Xiao lead his troops to attack at night?" ”

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, she only heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the little fat man hurriedly looked up, only to see the little monkey and Feng Zhen riding together, galloping towards this side. Before he had time to dismount, the little monkey shouted loudly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Yue is back, he said, the traitors in the city are not to be feared, and the De'anmen side deliberately let people come in to catch turtles in the urn!" ”

At that moment, the little fat man with weak legs almost sat on the ground, and his head was full of sweat!

With such ups and downs, ups and downs, do you think his heart is made of iron?

At that moment, the little fat man didn't think about it at all, what if Master Yue was just scolding him.
