Chapter 524: Two against one is not enough
Lin Mumu took advantage of her face to sit cross-legged on the chair.
Before, she didn't understand why Jigan imprisoned her for no reason, how did the two say that the cheap master-apprentice relationship was there, there was not much contact, but there was no grudge or grudge, it was for sure, and he had no reason to imprison himself.
Now after listening to Hua Na, the maid, she finally understood that a lot had happened during her fall off the cliff.
She doesn't believe that the Eastern Jin Dynasty will send troops to the territory for no reason, Zhao Rufei has just ascended the throne, there are still many forces in the country that are ready to move, the Queen Mother and others will not be stupid to want to run so far to fight at this time, Zhao Xuanling will never disregard the lives of the people and suddenly send troops to the territory, the two countries have far-reaching intersections, and it is difficult for the side that takes the initiative to fight to get benefits.
If it is just that the Eastern Jin Dynasty is fighting with the territory, then Lin Mumu will not understand the reason.
The current situation is that the three kingdoms are at war.
This has to make people think deeply, she seriously suspects that Xi Chu is colluding with the territory, so it makes sense.
Two to one, if Western Chu and the territory are twisted into a hemp rope, the situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty will be very dangerous, and it is no wonder that Zhao Xuanling will rush back in such a hurry.
The emperor kept her here, planning to use her to threaten Zhao Xuanling at the critical moment!
Lin Mumu stood up with a calm face and paced back and forth in the room, if this was the case, she had to escape, she couldn't be Zhao Xuanling's shackles on the battlefield.
"Princess, it's time to eat." Hua Na walked in with her meal.
Lin Mumu came to the chair and sat down, looking at the food on the table, sighing.
Seeing this, Hua Na couldn't help but care: "What's wrong with the princess, do you feel uncomfortable?" ”
Lin Mumu let out a sad sigh. "It's nothing, it's just that when I was here before, your little prince would come to me to join in the fun, and now I don't know how he is, and if there is a chance to appear again, you said that the king will not want his life, right?"
Hua Na looked at Lin Mumu with a sad face, and hurriedly relieved: "Don't worry, princess, the little prince is just grounded in his own palace, and he has no worries about his life for the time being." ”
Lin Mumu's eyes flashed slightly. "Then when will he come out, I don't know how long I will stay here, he is my only friend here, and of course Hua Na, you are all good people."
Hua Na was very touched when she heard her say this. "Princess, don't worry, the slave will inquire in a while."
"Really, thank you so much, Hua Na, there are so many meals, you can sit down and eat with me, it's not fun to eat alone anyway."
"No, no, the slave maid is a slave who serves people, so she can't eat with the princess, and the slave maid will ask the princess about the news of the little prince now." Hua Na ran away as she spoke.
Lin Mumu looked at her figure and blinked, and suddenly felt that she was a little hateful like this.
Outside the camp, Zhao Xuanling, who was dressed in silver armor, returned victoriously.
When he reached the camp, he turned over and dismounted, and returned to the tent.
"Lord Wang, our raid was successful, and there should be a move in Xichu and the territory soon." Mingyang wiped the dried blood on his face and said.
Last night they went to raid the soldiers and horses of Western Chu, this time it was Qin Sheng who led the troops in Western Chu, Qin Sheng was the same existence as Zhao Xuanling in Western Chu, Emperor Jiahe sent him out, obviously to take down the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop, Qin Sheng not only led the troops to fight with a ruthless force, but also very good at strategy, he would not easily send troops when he did not find out the enemy's situation, before each battle, he would make any kind of possible conjecture, and immediately made a strategy to deal with it, if it were not for Zhao Xuanling, other generals in the Eastern Jin Dynasty were really not his opponents.
Qin Sheng hadn't taken the initiative to attack before, proving that he felt that it was not time to attack yet.
The reason why Zhao Xuanling led his troops to raid the soldiers and horses of Western Chu was to stimulate Emperor Jiahe and ask him to order Western Chu to attack, thus disrupting Qin Sheng's plan.
"Keep an eye on the little things on the other side of the territory." Because the territory is not close to every country, they do not have much experience in warfare, but even if they do not send troops, they will make some tricks that are rare on the battlefield, and they must always be on guard.
"Yes."
"With 10,000 troops, there will definitely be a move in Western Chu after this raid, but Qin Sheng will not be heavy-handed yet, so we will give them another blow when they want to show Emperor Jiahe perfunctory." Zhao Xuanling said and came to the sand table and told them the detailed battle plan.
It took more than an hour for this to end.
"Lord Wang, you haven't rested much for a few days, why don't you eat something and rest for a while." Mingyang looked at it, obviously lost a lot of weight, and Zhao Xuanling was a little unbearable.
Zhao Xuanling didn't move his brows. "Let them bring the food."
"Yes."
Mingyang personally went down to explain a few words, and soon someone from the cooking camp came in with food.
Three dishes and one soup are not much different from what ordinary soldiers eat, but Mingyang explained that they increased the amount of dishes, and Zhao Xuanling has not eaten a good meal for several days.
"The prince eats first."
Zhao Xuanling nodded. "You go down and get some rest, too."
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
Everyone retreated, and Zhao Xuanling was the only one left in the big tent, he looked at the array again before he came to the table and sat down, and when he picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the dishes, the whole person was stunned.
He looked at the chicken thighs on the plate and felt a choke in his throat.
He knew that Lin Mumu's favorite food was chicken legs, and every time she ate, whenever there were chicken legs on the table, she would be the first to clip them with chopsticks.
Zhao Xuanling gritted his teeth and took a bite of the chicken leg fiercely, swallowing it almost without chewing. Zilang literature
The chicken thighs are tender and juicy, and they are really delicious, no wonder she likes them so much.
A tasteless meal ended in less than a quarter of an hour.
There was no movement on Xichu's side, he could take advantage of this time to squint for a while, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he would think of Lin Mumu.
"Someone."
"What does the prince command?"
The soldier guarding the door answered.
There was a moment of silence in the tent, and when the soldier was about to ask, he could only be heard: "It's okay, stand down." ”
The soldier was stunned, so he could only take the order to return to the place and stand still.
Zhao Xuanling rubbed his eyebrows and lay on the couch, forcibly closing his eyes.
Finish this battle, wait until this battle is over!
……
Inside the palace of the king of the territory.
Lin Mumu leaned on the soft collapse and wrinkled her brows and said, "Hua Na, I don't understand a question. ”
"What's wrong with the princess?"
"It's Ban Yang, Ban Xiao Wangye, his background, is he the illegitimate son of the king?"
Hua Na looked surprised, and then quickly shook her head. "The princess must not talk nonsense, the little prince is not the king's child."
Lin Mumu sighed. "Then ...... him"
"The little prince is the child of General Ban, and after General Ban died of illness, the king took the little prince Ban to the palace to raise them with the eldest prince."
Seeing that Lin Mumu still didn't know what kind of person this class general was, Hua Na carefully explained to her who the general of this class was.
"Back then, the king and the general were childhood sweethearts, and everyone in the royal capital thought that the two were married, and the general would become the king, but unfortunately the general of the class later married someone else, and then the general of the class died of illness not long after the birth of the little prince."
Hua Na is just a maid who serves in the palace, and she doesn't know much about all kinds of inside affairs, and she was still very young at that time, and she only knew it by listening to the old people in the palace in private.
"Has the king always stayed in the royal capital? Did you leave during that time? Lin Mumu asked.
Hua Na tilted her head and thought about it. "Yes, I heard Aunt Zara say that the king had been away for nearly two years before she ascended the throne, and not long after she returned, General Ban married someone else, and not long after that, the king ascended the throne."
"Has anyone ever said what the king has been doing outside for the two years he has been away?"
Hua Na shook her head.
Seeing this, Lin Mumu didn't ask again, too, how could Hua Na know this kind of thing.
Some days later, Lin Mumu learned from Hua Na that she didn't know how to leave the forbidden land.
Before Hua Na could go outside the palace, since she ran out to inquire about Banyang's news, when she came back the next day, the palace gate was locked from the outside, and even she couldn't go out.
Every day, someone would bring in the food of the two of them through a hole in the palace gate, and there would not be a word of superfluity.
Lin Mumu looked at the closed palace door, and her eyebrows were twisted into Sichuan characters.
The courtyard wall here is high, and there is no rope, and it is impossible to escape by jumping over the wall, and the emperor has not appeared these days, and she has no way to understand the situation outside, and she is anxious for a while.
"Come on, come on, the princess is sick." Hua Na banged on the palace door and shouted.
The people guarding outside the palace gate heard the words and opened the opening on the palace gate and looked at Hua Na. "What's going on?"
Hua Na said with a worried face: "The princess is sick, maybe she caught a cold last night, and now she is hot and has been unable to wake up, you go and tell the king that the princess's illness cannot be delayed." ”
The guards outside the door glanced at each other, and the king asked them to guard outside the door and not allow the people inside to leave, but they didn't say that they didn't care about Lin Mumu's life or death.
"You take care of the princess first, and I'll go and explain it to the king."
"Okay, okay, you guys hurry up, you can't delay the princess's illness."
At this time, the emperor was listening to the battle report from front of her in the study, and her face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"The territory and the Western Chu attacked the Eastern Jin Dynasty at the same time, and they were able to give the Eastern Jin Dynasty the upper hand!? This king has raised soldiers for so many years, and that's all he can do!? ”
A minister standing in the hall took advantage of his face and said: "Didn't the eldest prince already negotiate with the Western Chu side before, why did they not move when the Eastern Jin Dynasty came to attack the soldiers and horses in our territory?" ”
"Hmph, Xichu has never had the spirit of the covenant, otherwise he wouldn't have torn up the peace agreement signed with the Eastern Jin Dynasty in such a short period of time."
"Your Majesty, then Zhao Xuanling is like not being tired, he fought the territory during the day, and he can still run to the camp in Xichu at night, originally our soldiers don't have much experience in dealing with battles, after the poison Gu is used once, the other party doesn't know who has been found to restrain it, and it won't work if it is used again, if it goes on like this...... We're in danger! ”
