In this way, Wang Xuance and Prince Shah and his entourage, after hiding and marching rapidly in the open and secret battles, finally came to the city of Badgang at ten midnight.

Although at this time, Badgang was still heavily guarded, and it was quite majestic with the key of Nibhara. But the difference from the past is that with this bright light, many soldiers in armor and armed with sharp blades are patrolling the city.

When the group was about to enter the city. Dunzhu immediately noticed this subtle difference. Hurriedly stopped everyone: "Wait, this Badgang was not like this before, there was always a curfew every night, and there were no lights, but today it is very abnormal." ”

Hearing his words, everyone immediately stopped. His eyes widened as he watched every move of the city; The idea of more than one bad luck and less luck, as well as the tense atmosphere, instantly shifted to everyone's hearts.

Yes, according to the Art of War, if this is the case, this should be a sign before the army moves. Looking at the quality of the soldiers at the head of the city, as well as the orderly patrol regulations, it is not only quite disciplined, but also very rigorous. It seems that this general should have known everything that happened: whether to capture the thieves and protect them, or to rebel and stand on their own. The two opposing thoughts not only rushed to Wang Xuance's heart, but also surfaced in everyone's minds.

Wang Xuance was also confused when he faced this scene. However, he still said calmly: "Under the circumstance that the enemy and the enemy are unknown, the prince must not risk his life. In this case, I think it is better to send a person to the city in the name of my Tang Dynasty mission to take the lead in entering the city and touch the details of the old general. ”

Everyone was silent, and that was the only way to do it for the time being. So Chen Maocai immediately said: "That is the case, then let me go, and only my identity is the most appropriate."

But as soon as his words fell, Prince Shah, after some thought, immediately grabbed him. Said earnestly: "Thank you Brother Chen for your kindness, when there is no country, what is the meaning of living." This is also my last straw, if he really betrayed his father, then it is also my life, and it is also the traitor who does not mention that he should have this throne! If he is still loyal and flawless, it will be a blessing for me and my life, and I must not let Brother Chen take risks alone. ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but continue to defend and obstruct everyone, and then, with endless anger, he whipped at the ass of the yellow horse, and with the sound of "driving", he went straight to the city gate, ready to reprimand this treacherous Reduli in the head.

"It's bad, it's going to be bad," Chen Maocai and Wang Xuance said in unison.

Even so, it was not so much to do, so the group followed in the footsteps of the Shah prince and rushed straight to the city of Badgaon. Their actions are not only the result of righteousness, but also the source of a responsibility.

When the soldiers defending the city at the head of the city saw the crowd and rode straight to the city gate, they immediately rained down triangular arrows at the signal of a small general. The Shah's prince pulled the reins of his horse tightly and stopped suddenly, causing the yellow horse to let out a long howl, which not only pierced the silent night sky, but also looked very desolate and tragic.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xuance and others also came over, and the three-edged arrows were still shot down one by one. However, they all shot in the open space in front of the horses, and did not hurt them in the slightest, but only stopped them from moving forward.

At this time, Dan saw the little general at the head of the city, and with a wave of his hand, the rain of arrows suddenly stopped. Then he shouted to them: "When the great war comes, the general has an order to close the gates of the city, who are you?" What's going on in the middle of the night? Dare to go straight to my Bad Hills. ”

At this time, Wang Xuance just wanted to say that he was an envoy of the Tang Dynasty, but he was immediately preempted by Prince Shah. I saw the prince Shah under the city, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the soldiers above the city, and shouted angrily: "I am the eldest son of the current king, and the prince of Shah is also, let your general Reduli come out and reply!" ”

Hearing this, the city was crowded in an instant, and there were many discussions...... Is this how the danger comes......

After a while, I saw that the soldiers at the head of the city stopped walking and looked directly at the crowd one by one. This was followed by a slowly lowered drawbridge, and the gates opened. Under the illumination of the lights, looking at the open city gate, I saw a white-bearded old man, wearing rattan armor, wearing a rattan helmet, pedaling gray step military boots, straddling a Qingyun sword at his waist, and carrying a big bow with ox tendons, leading all the soldiers with high spirits, crossing the suspension bridge, and walking to them.

It turned out that the soldiers at the head of the city, as soon as they heard that the Shah prince was coming, immediately reported this emergency to General Reduri. After some investigation, it was discovered that it was indeed the Prince Shah, so the old general personally went out of the city to meet him.

I saw that the old general came to the prince of Shah, and immediately bent down to worship, but because of the relationship between the armor, although he had done his best, the bend was not too standard, but it was enough to see the sincerity of the old general.

When the Shah prince saw this situation, the anger in his heart disappeared without a trace. Immediately jumped off the yellow horse, stretched out his hand to help the old general, and said happily: "The old general is old, there is no need to be like this, there is no need to be like this, you have to really kill the younger generation like this."

When the old general saw that the prince was so humble, he also thanked him repeatedly. After some greetings, he happily introduced everyone into the city, and under the introduction of Prince Shah, the old general of Reduli also understood the identity of Wang Xuance and other Tang envoys. When I heard this, I instantly felt that this spirit had taken to the next level. After all, there is such a powerful Datang behind him to support his righteous move. Therefore, I am also quite pleased.

It turned out that the old general got a strange move two days ago, only to see that the traitor did not mention sending someone to send several large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, as much as 100,000 taels, and also wrote a handwritten letter by the way, to the effect that the old king Yan Jia, the country's political situation is unstable, I only hope that the old general will be stationed at this east gate safely, strictly prevent thieves from breaking in, and so on! And this is exactly the strategy of the old general. As long as he can stabilize the old general with heavy troops, there will be no military threat to his succession.

When the old general received these treasures and letters, he didn't pay much attention to them at first, so he agreed to the envoy's intentions, but after careful consideration, he found a problem. So, after urgently sending spies to investigate, it became clear that it was this who did not mention the succession to the throne, and the whereabouts of Prince Shah were unknown, and he suddenly had questions:

How could this king pass the throne to such a man? When the old king was alive, he often praised the talents of Prince Shah to himself, and he had the heart of passing on the throne. In this way, this is not mentioned to buy oneself. In the face of sudden changes, on the one hand, he sent people to quickly investigate the whereabouts of Prince Shah, and on the other hand, he sent orders to go down to reorganize the army. If he couldn't find the slightest trace, he decided to lead his troops straight to the Beijing Division.

After his explanation, everyone also understood the reason for the incident. Peace of mind.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the old general of Reduli, and then took out this letter sent by Na Bu from the military case, and respectfully presented it to Prince Shah. Immediately, he waved his hand again, but when he saw one or twenty soldiers, he brought out several large boxes of gold, silver and jewels that had been sent over without mention. He said: "Your Royal Highness, these are all stolen goods that were sent without mention, and since you have come to my city of Badgaon today, all these will be returned to the state." ”

In the face of such a scene, everyone was deeply impressed by the old general's honesty. When Prince Shah saw this scene, he immediately knelt down to thank this confidant who had followed his father for many years.

The old general hurriedly helped him up, took his hand and said generously: "I have followed the old master in Redu for many years, not all these gold and silver treasures can be bought, and what I hate the most in my life is these ushers and sends, which is why you once gave me things and were all returned." ”

At this time, when the prince Shah heard this, he was also quite ashamed to lower his noble head. As a result, everyone was also at peace in their hearts.

Facing the knot in their hearts that had been untied, I saw that the old general in this heat was tearful with excitement, picking up three sticks of fragrance. Facing the old king's spiritual seat, he knelt down and said: "It seems that God blesses you, the king, you have a spirit in heaven, and bless the prince of Shah to appear safely in my city of Badgang, even so, the old man will definitely live up to your trust and regain this throne for the prince." ”

Immediately after the old general, everyone also picked up three sticks of incense to salute the old king's spirit in the sky.

Looking at this group of high-spirited young people, I only heard the old general in this heat say generously: "Now that the matter is clear, we will lead the troops back to regain the throne for the virtuous nephew, even if the blood is flowing, we will not hesitate." What's more, my 30,000 rattan armor army is the elite of the country."

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. Since ancient times, evil has not prevailed over good, and opportunities have always stood on the side of justice, after all, people rely on their hearts and righteousness when they interact with each other!

Looking at the old general's ambition, but seeing that Wang Xuance had such a deliberative tone, he asked Prince Shah: "The foreign minister has an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not?" ”

"Wang Changshi can say it directly"

"Since that is not to mention that he is ready to succeed to the throne, it means that he has already controlled part of the army in the capital, I wonder how well the prince controls the ministers of the capital?"

"When my father was alive, I often assisted my father in handling government affairs, and some of my confidants were uncontrollably uncontrollab, but most of the ministers were devoted to the royal family."

Hearing this, this Wang Xuance thought about it and had a plan: "This is very good." Although these 30,000 tiger and wolf divisions are enough to pacify the rebels of the Jingshi, not to mention it, this country is still His Highness after all. The foreign minister thought that it was better to focus on the common people in the world and kill less; Instead of bleeding like a river, it is better to outwit it without blood. The foreign minister has a plan, and we can refer to it together......"

What is Wang Xuance's plan? Please see the next ......
