"It should be that what you said before played a role, before the war began, Boss Mu came to me and wanted to go to the battlefield with him, so he simply revealed his identity."

"I used to suspect that Boss Mu was not like a simple Qinglou boss, but later he took the initiative to mention that he was from the Zhou State, saying that he knew more about the army of the Zhou State, but he didn't expect that he would be the Seventh Prince that so many people couldn't find."

"That's why you agreed to Boss Mu to go with you, I was always puzzled before, how could you let a businessman who has never been on the battlefield follow you, I see."

"Okay, let's not talk about him, what is the shopkeeper going to do today?"

"We'll see in a moment." Lin Jinxiu's movements did not stop, and he sold a pass, without telling Huai Yanqing directly.

The two of them began to cook harmoniously here, and Mu Siyan over there, or Zhou Qi was still waiting for Huai Yanqing's news, and he was worried in his heart, and he didn't know how Zhu Hongyu would react when he knew his true identity.

"The Seven Princes."

"Huh? General Ning, is there something wrong? ”

"We will arrive in the capital tomorrow, I wonder what the prince has planned?"

When Ning Ye didn't make a sound before, it was very easy for people to ignore him, and only then could they see his whole picture clearly.

I saw that his exposed skin was scarred, and one eye may not be very good, so he always unconsciously turned to the side of everyone, but the momentum on his body was so strong, as long as he saw him, he would not ignore him again.

Zhou Qi has a lot of respect for this general, so when he heard his question, he also answered after thinking about it very seriously.

"I naturally want to take advantage of the absence of the imperial brother and the lax defense of the capital to attack as soon as possible, but I don't know what the general's opinion is? Or the general has a better proposal, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

"The minister's opinion is the same as that of His Royal Highness, and he also thinks that now is the best time, but there are still some old subordinates of the minister in the capital, you can contact them, if you can get in touch, it is the best, I hope Your Highness can wait patiently for two more days."

"It's only been two days, His Royal Highness can still wait, if you can really contact the general's old department, and then you can try to ensure the safety of the people, then it will be better."

"Your Highness is kind, and the ministers thank Your Highness for the people."

"Whatever the general said, if this is the case, then the general will arrange it."

"Yes."

Ning Ye agreed, no longer procrastinated, and left here, leaving Zhou Qi in a daze at the empty tent.

"Hongyu, you have to wait for me."

Zhou Yi didn't know that there was a fire in his rear, and since he knew that the power of the chaotic army had increased greatly, he sent someone to deal with it, and there was no important news after that, and he didn't pay much attention to it as soon as there were many things.

At this time, when I heard the boiling news outside, I was in no mood to pay attention to it.

"What's going on with Yan Huaiqing coming back?"

The people below felt Zhou Yi's anger, and knelt on the ground tremblingly, the fine sweat on his forehead continued to flow down, and he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it.

"Speak."

The tone of the tone was clear and not heavy, but the listeners trembled all over, and the other people in the tent did not dare to come out, all staring at the little place under their feet, and the silent silence caused even more pressure.

The man peeked and found the obvious impatience on Zhou Yi's face, and he was full of excitement, and he suddenly didn't dare to delay any longer, and spoke in a dumb voice.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the news found by the spies, the Lord of Yan has disappeared for two months and then returned unscathed."

"Heh, what a good one unscathed." Zhou Yi's tone became calmer and calmer, and only the madness that kept coming out of the depths of his eyes showed the unrest in his heart.

"If there's any news, let's talk about it together."

"Yes." The man made a bitter face, buried his head deeply, and said even more terrible news in a trembling voice, "There is also news that the mysterious person who appeared in the previous war that led to the total destruction of high-ranking generals, after investigation, it can already be determined that that person is also Lord Yama." ”

"Bang!"

A loud bang came, and after Zhou Yi listened to the report of the people below, he threw the teacup in his hand, although the movement was violent, the surface was very calm, and only a sneer at the corner of his mouth made people tremble.

"Let's go down, and inquire more carefully about the news about Yan Kingdom."

"Yes."

The man answered, and seeing that Zhou Yi had no other instructions, he hurriedly moved out of the room lightly, not daring to make a sound, lest Zhou Yi change his mind.

waited until there was a distance from Zhou Yi's room before he dared to gently wipe the sweat from his face, and his heart was full of joy that he could pick up a life.

After a small pause, after the man eased up, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly trotted out to convey Zhou Yi's order and strengthen the intelligence investigation on Yan Guo's side.

Zhou Yi, who stayed in the room, rarely only sent out that fire, and after the person left, he kept looking at the void and didn't know where he was, his eyes were empty, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he always gave people a creepy feeling.

The others who remained in the room did not dare to speak out, but only prayed silently in their hearts,

Zhou Yi seemed to really hear their prayers, glanced left and right, and waved his hand to let everyone go out.

"Let's all go down."

"Yes." Everyone didn't dare to say much, and after getting Zhou Yi's order, they hurriedly left lightly in turn.

After the room was completely empty, Zhou Yi stood up and turned around a few times, and finally walked to the desk as if he had made up his mind, and dipped his ink in one go.

After the ink on the paper was dry, he picked it up and rolled it up only to find that what he had written was nothing more than a small note, rolled up not even as thick as a finger, and then he opened his purse, took out a small incense stick from it and lit it.

After Zhou Yi sat down, there was no movement, only the slight squirming of his lips could be seen, as if he was saying something.

"Fluttering!"

The sound of wings stirring came from far away, and finally stopped outside the window of Zhou Yi's room.

If you look closely, you will find that the bird is not a common species, it looks extraordinarily small, with a pitch-black feather, only the pointed beak is red, and a small bamboo tube is tied to the slender soles of its feet.

Hearing the sound of birds landing, Zhou Yi took one last look at the note in his hand, got up and went over to catch the birds staying outside, not curious about the appearance of the birds, as if they were commonplace.

After catching the bird into the house and placing it next to the lit incense, Zhou Yi took off the bamboo tube on the bird's claws, put the note that had been pinched in his hand, and finally tied the bamboo tube again, and then released the bird.

After hovering in the sky for a week, the little bird flew away directly, and if anyone could see it, they would find that the direction in which the bird flew away was exactly the territory of Zhou.

The pitch-black, small bird was extremely fast, and it had disappeared into the camp of the Zhou State without attracting anyone's attention.

No one noticed Zhou Yi's actions, even the people who had been serving by his side didn't know, not to mention the others, Huai Yanqing and they naturally didn't receive any news.

……

"Since I spread the news of the prince, the spies have found several groups of people who came to investigate, only some of them were captured, and some of them were deliberately let go, I believe that those who should know the news already know."

At this time, all the people in the handsome tent arrived, Qin Shuyao put away his private appearance, stood up and saluted Huai Yanqing, who was sitting on the main seat, and reported the situation officially.

"Well done, how is Hongyu's preparation here?"

"The wounded soldiers have been arranged to be sent back to the rear, and the remaining soldiers can meet them at any time." Zhu Hongyu also came out and briefly talked about the situation in the barracks.

"That's good." Huai Yanqing didn't disbelieve them, and finally instructed Gao Changjun, "Vice General Gao, the affairs of the special forces are arranged, and they are ready to carry out the task at any time." ”

"Yes."

After saying this, Huai Yanqing took everyone to the topographic map hanging behind the tent, which was the topographic map that Zhu Hongyu had drawn the dark river before, and this was already the most informative map in their hands at present.

Huai Yanqing understood that in the past two months, a few of them had been dealing with the army of the Zhou State, and they understood the situation of the Zhou State better than themselves, and at this time, they were about to discuss the strategy of luring the enemy carefully against the topographic map, when they heard a rush of footsteps outside.

"Report! Prince, general, Zhou is coming! ”

"What?" Everyone was stunned by the situation, and they couldn't believe their ears.

"Zhou is coming? Didn't they already have no generals who could lead the army, and I heard that their ministers did not agree to continue sending troops, how could this be so sudden. ”

There was a general who couldn't hold his breath and shouted uncontrollably in the silence of the room.

But thanks to this voice, everyone else was called back to their senses.

"Lord Wang, the emperor of the Zhou State cannot be treated with common sense, and you need to be careful." After Qin Shuyao came back to his senses, he reminded Huai Yanqing first.

"Well, I know it." Huai Yanqing responded, compared to his understanding of Zhou Yi, among the people here, he can be said to be the one who knows best, after all, he has been lurking in Zhou Yi's army for a long time before, and he has learned a lot of private information.

After saying this, he called the herald in and asked carefully.

"How many soldiers and horses did Zhou Guo dispatch this time, where are they now, and what are the specific types of troops?"

Hearing Huai Yanqing's clear inquiry, everyone also quieted down, and the riot caused by the moment just now also subsided, and everyone began to listen along, and their minds quickly thought about the strategy of retreating from the enemy.

The Scout was stared at by so many people, and he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and try to report the situation clearly.

"Back to the prince's words, Zhou Guo only dispatched a small group of men and horses this time, about only 100,000 people, the specific troops are mainly light cavalry, and when they found out, they were leaving the city they were stationed in and walking towards us, the speed was extremely fast, and now they have probably arrived at the junction of the two countries."

"Got it, go down, continue to inquire about the news, if you find anything, report it in time."

"Yes, lord."

The scout replied loudly, and then left in a spirited voice.

The people who were left in the tent were puzzled, "What is the purpose of the Zhou Kingdom?" I clearly know that it is impossible to defeat us with only a small force of men, so why would we send troops? ”
