Chapter 179: Sending a letter
Listening to Ying Liu's words, Fan Xi paused for a moment, and said with a look of pity: "Okay, we won't make any trouble, so as not to destroy the boss's plan." ”
Yan Bufan followed Ying Wu to a mountain col and found a hole at the foot of the overgrown mountain.
The cave is not big, and Shadow Five and Yan Bufan have to bend down to get in.
This cave is still dug by His Majesty when he was young, in order to sneak out to play, enter from this cave, and the other end of the exit is the cold palace of the palace.
The cold palace was dead silent, which was just convenient for Yan Bufan and them.
After experiencing the palace change, and no new emperor ascended the throne, and now it is still besieged by King An's army, the palace is gloomy, and there is a tense and uneasy atmosphere everywhere.
The palace that was originally heavily guarded, but now the guards are very loose, and Yan Bufan and Ying Wu left easily.
In the Protector's Mansion, Feng Shen, General Zhenyuan, the third prince, and the fourth prince were discussing whether to go out of the city to fight, or wait for reinforcements to come and then attack together.
As for the other princes, they are either weak, young, or dead, and those who have the ability to compete for the great treasure are left with the third prince and the fourth prince.
The third prince held the lid of the cup, gently stirred the tea leaves in the cup, took a sip of tea, and saw that his confident demeanor was not at all like the current enemy, the royal bearing revealed from the bones, and the majesty between the eyebrows, all highlighted the posture of the king of the world.
The four prince's eyelids were half-drooping, covering the calculating light in his eyes, and his hands were on the armrests, and his sitting posture as steady as Mount Tai showed the prince's cultivation.
General Zhenyuan frowned, his eyelids drooping and he didn't know what he was thinking.
From time to time, the Lord Protector glanced at the rest of the people out of the corner of his eye, like an old fox waiting for the plane.
The third prince said slowly: "I'm in favor of going out of the city to fight, what if when our reinforcements come, the rest of King An's soldiers and horses also arrive?" ”
The fourth prince disagreed, "I suggest wait a minute, this year's Huichuan City, Yongzhou Mansion is flooded, that place is a bit chaotic, I have sent someone over, King An's army will not pass by smoothly, as long as it can drag on for a day or two, it is enough, we and the reinforcements should be together, King An will have no way to escape." ”
General Zhenyuan had 20,000 soldiers and horses, but the 10,000 forbidden troops in Kyoto were captured by the three princes, and the strength of the two sides was unequal.
If it weren't for King An's army, the four princes would have already started to eradicate the three princes, but even so, the three princes were still calm.
The third prince proposed to go out of the city to fight, because he wanted to weaken General Zhenyuan's 20,000 troops, and the fourth prince naturally disagreed when he knew his plan.
General Zhenyuan and the Protector didn't say a word, they each had their own masters, and naturally they were mainly based on the opinions of the princes they supported, and they would say anything different in private.
There was silence in the room for a while, the third prince and the fourth prince were mortal enemies, but the enemy was at present, so they had to put down the battle first and solve the current urgent need.
In fact, they don't care about going out of the city to fight now, or waiting for reinforcements to arrive, what they really think about is how to attack first after destroying King An, solve the opponent, and ascend to the throne.
The two princes each have ghosts, the protector and the general Zhenyuan are their masters, and in silence, the four of them have their own thoughts.
Outside, someone shouted something important to report, breaking the silence.
"Come in." The Protector said.
The subordinates came in trembling, the atmosphere inside was too solemn, and the coercion of the four people made him dare not even raise his head.
"Returning to the country's grandfather, someone outside shot a hidden weapon and came in, with a letter on it." The subordinate knelt on the ground, his hands raised in the air, holding a letter with a dart on it.
"Bring it." The Protector snorted dissatisfiedly.
The subordinate hurriedly got up, accidentally stepped on the hem of his clothes, and he trembled and walked to the protector and put the believe.
The Protector glanced at him coldly before taking the letter, the next person knew that he was finished, and he was rude in front of the two princes, and the Protector would not leave him anymore, but he still stayed and waited for orders.
The Lord Protector shook the dart onto the table, then opened the letter and read it, and after reading the letter, he asked the next person, "Has anyone seen who sent it?" ”
"No, but someone is already chasing them."
"I'll show you the hidden weapon." At this time, General Zhenyuan spoke.
The subordinate looked up and saw the Protector nodding, so he went over, picked up the dart and handed it to General Zhenyuan.
General Zhenyuan looked at it and threw the dart on the coffee table, "There is the logo of the Royal Secret Guard on this." ”
"After my father died, many secret guards couldn't be contacted." The third prince was expressionless, unable to see what he was thinking.
The fourth prince raised his eyelids, "What did the letter say?" ”
The Protector waved his hand and waited for his subordinates to withdraw before he said: "The letter said that in two days, someone will put down a group of people outside the east city gate and open a hole, whether we want to break through or go out of the city to face the battle, it is a good opportunity for us to grasp it." ”
"Is there any payment?" General Zhenyuan asked.
"Nope." The Protector replied.
General Zhenyuan stood up, took the letter and read it carefully, and turned it to the back to look at it, before he put it down and nodded to the fourth prince, walked back to his place and sat down again.
"There are still two days to check the authenticity of the content before making a decision." What the three princes said cannot be ignored,
The commanding tone made the fourth prince secretly angry, but the third prince was reasonable, and he couldn't refute it, "Then wait until you find out before you tell me." ”
The four princes threw up their sleeves and left, and General Zhenyuan followed.
The third prince sneered contemptuously, "This can't hold his breath, he still wants to achieve great things?" ”
"If the letter is true, what are you going to do?" The Protector asked.
The third prince said calmly, "Don't worry, let's check it out first before deciding." ”
"Someone in the house chased him out, and there will be news soon." Although the Protector still did not smile, his expression was much more tolerant.
After a while, the soldiers of the Protector Mansion came back to report, saying that they had followed that person all the way and entered the Gongwei Division, and after investigation, it was Yan Bufan, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, who sent a letter to the Protector's Mansion.
"So easy to track?" The third prince thought for a moment and said: "Yan Bufan's skills are extraordinary, it is impossible for ordinary government soldiers to track him down, and he has entered the Gongwei Division openly, unless he has no intention of concealing his identity at all." ”
"Yes, he didn't hide much along the way." The government soldiers automatically replied, "Also, the personal soldiers of the four princes also caught up at that time. ”
"Don't worry about him." After the third prince finished speaking, he waved his hand slightly, and the government soldiers retreated.
"What does this Yan Bufan want to do?" The Protector was puzzled.
"Since he didn't hide his identity, just come over and ask." The third prince's eyes darkened slightly, "I just don't know if he will be taken away first." ”
"The Four Princes..." The Protector suddenly woke up, hurriedly walked out, and shouted as he walked, "Someone is coming, ......." ”
As a result, neither the third prince nor the fourth prince found Yan Bufan, and the people from the Gong Wei Division said that Yan Bufan came back and ordered a mao and left.
The Third and Fourth Princes sent people to search the whole city, but found nothing.
