Chapter 630: He's Coming to Blackwater City Too? (1)
No matter how Huo Du thought about it, he felt that the real princess was lying to him, and he had a faint feeling of unease.
If you say that in the past, his feelings for Song Yi were only because of the strength of the other party's Taishan and his face did not change, and he was smart and clever who could draw inferences from everything and observe words and colors, after more than a month of getting along, he was even more impressed by Song Yi's talent and completely fell into Song Yi's charm.
It's just that this relationship is destined to be an emotion without results. Therefore, Huo Du has always been very restrained.
Without his sister Linna telling herself, Huo Du understood that Song Yi was the true princess of the Qian Dynasty and a bargaining chip in the hands of the Jurchens.
The true king's position in the war, and the battles with him over the years, have been undoubtedly revealed.
If you want to capture Youzhou City as soon as possible and drive straight in, you must first solve the trouble of the true king.
The role of King Zhen to the Qianguo Dynasty was not only because of his military talents, but more importantly, because of the information he continuously obtained from various places.
On the battlefield, the importance of intelligence to both sides is self-evident.
The true king has no military power in his hands, and there are no generals, so he is completely auxiliary to Gao Yunjin.
But before the True King arrived in Youzhou City, although the Jurchen army was not a crushing victory over the Gao family's army, it also had the upper hand.
If the normal advance is followed, Huo Du is very confident that sooner or later the Jurchen army will capture Youzhou City, drive straight in, and enter the territory of the Qianchao.
But the emperor of the Qiantian Dynasty sent the true king to Youzhou City.
The battle situation changed in an instant, and Gao Yunjin's troops seemed to have the ability to predict the future, repeatedly intercepting the Jurchen army in advance and crushing their sneak attacks.
When the Khan found out, he was furious and thought that someone must have leaked military information.
Not only did they carry out the most stringent action to eliminate traitors within the Jurchens, but they also analyzed and came to the fact that the Gao family army was able to turn things around, and every time before the Jurchen action, if there was a precaution, it must have obtained the military intelligence of the Jurchens in advance.
In order to avoid heavy losses on the battlefield, the Khan made a quick decision and secretly transferred the operational command base from the capital to Blackwater.
First, because Blackwater City is close to the capital, the Khan can control the latest information in time; Second, Blackwater City has always been a subsidiary city of the capital in the eyes of the world, and it is very strict to enter and exit the city on weekdays, so in the war, sending additional troops will not be too abrupt and will not attract the attention of outsiders.
Therefore, the important position of Blackwater City can be imagined. The True King will find a way to come to Blackwater City in person to find out the news, and it will not be too surprising.
It's just that Huo Du didn't expect it. But because of the news of the disappearance of the true king, the real princess ran from the capital of the Qian Dynasty to Heishui City.
Blackwater City, looking from the outside to the inside, does not seem to have changed, in fact, the atmosphere of being loose on the outside and tight on the inside is to confuse the people of the Qianchao. As a matter of fact, the intelligence officers of the Qianchao Dynasty lurked in Heishui City many times to inquire about information, but they were all discovered in time and quickly eradicated.
That's why the true king will take the risk and come to Blackwater City in person to find out, right?
Huo Du knew in his heart that the recent attack on the City Lord's Mansion must have been arranged by the True King.
However, what he didn't understand was how a person who was so cautious and intelligent as the True King would attack the City Lord's Mansion despite knowing that the Jurchen soldiers in Heishui City were dozens or even hundreds of times larger than them, regardless of the losses?
In the past ten days, Huo Du saw with his own eyes the spy agents of the Qianchao Dynasty lurking in Heishui City, surfaced and made suicide attacks one after another.
In this way, the thankless and even death-related rhythm has exceeded Huo Du's cognition.
Because with his understanding of the real king Zhu Xi. Even if the real king Zhu Xi heard that the real princess had fallen into their hands, he would not use this method to rescue the princess. This is undoubtedly the most ineffective and costly of all methods.
But what is the reason why the true king wants to send his people to death in desperation?
Could it be to test the strength of the city's defenses in Blackwater City? Or is there another attempt to fish in troubled waters?
Huo is not convinced, but he understands that the answer to everything will definitely be revealed.
"Brother" Huo Du returned to his residence from the original seed of the real princess.
He saw Lina waiting for him in the room.
Lina waited, and the dissatisfaction in her heart grew.
At the beginning, Linna sneered at the real princess Song Yi, so Huo Du strictly ordered her to get close to the real princess.
These days, even if she knew that someone from the Qian Dynasty had attacked the City Lord's Mansion, Linna had not seen the real princess Song Yi and ridiculed her.
It's all because his brother Huo Du protects the courtyard where the real princess lives too well. Not even a single fly could fit in.
Lina waited in her brother's room today, just to remind her brother not to fall into the trap anymore.
"Linna, are you waiting for me?" Huo Du saw the expression on his sister's face and knew what she was going to say next.
Recently, strictly speaking, since the real princess lived in the city lord's mansion, Lina has been showing a strong aggressiveness, which is against the real princess, but Huo Du has also suffered Linna's indiscriminate attacks because of the protection of the true princess.
"Yes, brother. Where did you just go? Seeing her brother's disapproving expression, Linna was a little angry, but she thought of something and didn't have a seizure. Instead, he reminded him tactfully.
"Brother, my sister-in-law has sent a letter today," Lina said.
"Oh?" Huo knew that Lina always felt that he would be confused about the real princess because of the love between men and women. Therefore, she secretly wrote to the Hui family, and Huo Du already knew about it. Because he knows that his sister is for his own good. So, all the time with one eye and one eye closed.
"Brother, don't you miss your sister-in-law and Brother Hugh? In the letter, the sister-in-law said that Brother Hugh had begun to learn to speak. Don't you care about any of this, brother? Lina said excitedly.
But even though she was so excited, she didn't open her mouth and shut her mouth as in the past, and let her brother stay away from the real princess.
If it was in the past, Huo Du would definitely be able to detect the difference between his sister tonight. But thinking about the true king all the way just now has exhausted him, so he didn't notice that his sister's eyes and words kept revealing some news for the first time.
"You read the letter?" Huo Du stretched out his hand to take the letter handed by Linna, but he didn't mean to open it. Instead, he asked Lena if she had already seen it first.
Lina didn't hide it, and directly admitted, "Yes, this is my sister-in-law's family letter, of course I can read it."
Huo Du didn't say anything, he believed that his wife would not say anything too intimate in the letter. So, I'm not afraid of Lina to see it. But Lina was overly involved in her own life, which made Huo Du feel disgusted for the first time.
"In the future, if the letter sent by your sister-in-law is not for you, you don't want to read it," Huo Du said coldly.
When Lina heard this, her heart was completely cold. She stubbornly believes that her brother must have been influenced by the real princess. Otherwise, I would not have this attitude towards myself on the issue of a letter from home.
"Brother, we are the family, and that woman is an outsider, do you remember?"
"Linna, what nonsense?"
