That night.

Rong Chen was lying on the bed and looking out the window, when suddenly a man dressed as a soldier came in.

knocked on the door, Rong Chen heard the movement, and looked up, it was his secret guard.

"Master, are you locked up? The prince is looking around for your whereabouts. The dark guard looked around and whispered to Rong Chen through the crack in the door.

Rong Chen got out of bed, walked to the door and asked the secret guard, "What is the current situation of the army?" ”

"Master, Tu Ling attacked according to the defense map, and all of them were ambushed and suffered heavy losses.

If it weren't for the prince who sent someone to rescue in time, I'm afraid that the whole army would have been wiped out long ago, and the prince was furious, and even General Tu Ling was implicated. The man said quickly.

Rong Chen can't do anything now, and the prince probably already doubts himself, and said to the secret guard: "You go, don't be discovered." ”

"Master, why don't I get you out, while it's dark." The Dark Guard thought for a moment and said.

"It's useless, the cell layout has been changed a long time ago, I can't get out, you go quickly and don't be discovered." Rong Chen commanded.

Suddenly, Rong Chen's brows furrowed and he said, "Oh no, there are footsteps coming here, you go quickly." After saying that, he walked quickly to the stone bed and lay down to pretend to sleep.

The patrolmen turned around for a moment and left, and Rong Chen, who was lying on the bed, breathed a sigh of relief.

After the secret guard came out, he immediately went to the gang room to find the gang leader and told him the news, and the gang leader told Ruoxuan's people the news he had just gotten.

Ruoxuan learned that he immediately went to Tu Ling's camp, and when he arrived, Tu Ling was drawing something on his desk.

Hearing the voice, Tu Ling looked up and saw Ruoxuan coming in in a hurry, and put down the brush in his hand and walked towards Ruoxuan.

"What's the matter, what's so urgent?" Tu Ling walked to the table, picked up the teapot, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Ruoxuan.

Ruoxuan was in too much of a hurry just now, and he was indeed a little dry, took the water and drank a glass of it.

He poured another cup and drank it before he spoke: "My people got the news just now that Rong Chen is indeed locked up in prison. ”

"It's possible that Wu Wen and Rong Chen deliberately designed it this way, and when we save Rong Chen, we will be betrayed by him." Tu Ling said with a not very good-looking face.

Ruoxuan sat on the stool, rubbed the cup in his hand and said, "There may be such a possibility, but it's not big, tonight Rong Chen's secret guard touched into the cell and talked to Rong Chen." ”

"What did Rong Chen say?" When Tu Ling heard this, he looked down at Ruoxuan and asked.

Ruo Xuan thought for a while and said: "The time is too short and I didn't say anything, but listening to the tone of the dark guard, Rong Chen only knew that the defense map was fake, and I didn't know what the situation was on our side." ”

Tu Ling sneered, a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and said to Ruoxuan: "That dark guard is Rong Chen's person, if Rong Chen betrays, the dark guard will naturally help Rong Chen to deceive us." ”

"Tu Ling, you are prejudiced against Rong Chen now, although what you said is also possible, but there is no evidence." Ruo Xuan looked at Tu Ling seriously and said solemnly.

"I'm prejudiced against him, I'm prejudiced against him, and he's the one who's causing us a lot of damage, anyway.

Even if he hadn't betrayed, it wouldn't change the reality of our fiasco. Tu Ling patted the table and said with an angry face.

Ruo Xuan looked at Tu Ling a little uncomfortable, patted Tu Ling's shoulder and said, "What should we do now?" Do you want to send someone to rescue him? Do you want to tell the prince and let the prince make the decision? ”

In the military tent, the candlelight was swaying by the wind, and Tu Ling sat with a frown, with thousands of thoughts in his heart.

In his selfish heart, he didn't want Rong Chen to come back at all, the county lord was already full of him, and he would go to him at the risk of death, if he came back, he would have no place in the county lord's heart.

"Save it or not, do you give a word?" Ruoxuan on the side urged, he actually wanted to rescue Rong Chen, after all, he was a companion, if he was allowed to stay in the enemy camp, whether he was persecuted or captured, it would be a result that he was not happy to see.

Tu Ling bit his fingers and hesitated without saying a word.

If you tell the prince, the prince may rescue him, but saving him back is equivalent to his life, now the army is unstable, the prince urgently needs to find someone to bear the responsibility for the failure of this raid, Rong Chen came back and entered the door of death.

"No, I don't save it."

After a long time, Tu Ling said such a sentence, which made Ruoxuan a little stunned.

"Why don't you save it?"

Tu Ling sighed, "Now that the battle has been defeated, morale has been greatly damaged, if you want to regroup, you must give the sergeants a reason to rush forward, and the best reason is not rebellion, but revenge for betrayal." ”

For a while, the air seemed to freeze, Ruoxuan didn't expect Tu Ling to make this calculation, "You want to borrow the soldier's hand to kill Rong Chen, so that the county lord and the prince have nothing to say?" ”

Chilling, Ruo Xuan couldn't believe that Tu Ling in front of him was the hot-blooded man he was familiar with, and now he was scheming and calculating, step by step, and he really had the appearance of a general.

Hurried footsteps were heard outside the military tent, and the curtain was lifted with a bang, and a herald rushed in.

"What's wrong, there's no rules, what's wrong?"

Tu Ling scolded with a serious face, and when he stood up, his hand subconsciously held the sword on the side, and his habit of waiting for him made him habitually hold the hilt of the sword as soon as he was nervous.

"The prince wants to see you, and there is something important to discuss."

Ruo Xuan and Tu Ling looked at each other, their eyes were full of doubts, could it be that something happened again?

After packing up his armor, Tu Ling came to the military tent of the king of Zhennan, there was a throne in the military tent, on which was a rare fox skin, and the king of Zhennan sat on it safely, with a beautiful woman on the left and right without a wisp on his body.

"Ahem. Tu Ling was ordered to ......"

"This is the Tu Jiang army who suffered defeat?"

The woman's coquettishness interrupted Tu Ling's words, and when she lifted her sleeves, a sweet and greasy aroma of fat powder came.

Tu Ling bowed and saluted, in order not to offend the king of Zhennan, he had to look down at the ground.

"Get out."

King Zhennan looked at Tu Ling and smiled, "This king's daughter is unfilial and unwilling to share a great cause with me, her husband believes in her, and everyone in the world may believe in her." ”

Tu Ling raised his head and looked at the prince, the wrinkles on his face were already very deep, and he didn't know how long he had been preparing for this day.

Lord Wang, is all this worth it?

Such a question suddenly popped up in Tu Ling's heart, but he would never ask.

"From tomorrow onwards, your scouts in the north will post a notice of Lin Qingwan's true identity."

At this moment, if the war is to drag on into a protracted war, it is to see who is more determined in the mind of employing people. The prince chose to continue to believe in him as his future son-in-law at this moment, so can the emperor believe in his general?

"The last general will not disgrace his mission, and he will die to repay the king."

King Zhennan picked up the wine cup on the shelf next to the throne and drank it all, "I hope we can become a model for the ages!" ”

After drinking, the wine cup fell to the ground and shattered on the ground, and this determination was tantamount to giving Tu Ling a shot in the arm.

In the capital, Wu Wen's letter had just been delivered to the palace overnight, and the chamberlain was waiting outside the Hongluan Hall with a sealed letter.

The night is dark, the emperor is resting in the palace of the concubine today, if he rests in the upper study, it is fine, but I am afraid that this letter will not be able to read tonight.

The wooden door made a slight noise, and the palace maid who reported it was the personal maid of the noble concubine, she walked out with a sad face and closed the door carefully.

"Father-in-law, I'm really sorry, the concubine said that the emperor has slept, which disturbs the emperor's peaceful sleep, and the two of us can't afford it."

The inner officer sighed, and his hand couldn't help but clench the sealed box tightly, this is an important military situation, if the war changes and delays the military aircraft, he can't afford to be a humble person.

"Good aunt, you can go and report to the concubine again, this is the military plane to suppress the rebellion, and I don't dare to take care of it."

The maid pulled the inner chamberlain away from the door, walked to the stone pillar and whispered: "No matter how urgent the military situation is, the rebels will not be able to enter the city for a while, if the good news is to see it tomorrow, it will not matter, if the battle is defeated, don't want anyone to sleep in this palace today, it is better to seal it in this box, everyone is clean." ”

The chamberlain listened to the maid's words, and was speechless for a while, "Alright then, I will keep a vigil here all night, and I will present it to Banzai early tomorrow morning." ”

The city gate has been keyed, and it is late at night, and even Lang Jun, who is on the watch, has secretly slept under the porch, and the flying pigeon has quietly flown back to the capital, staying in the courtyard of the scouts and "cooing".

"Goo-goo-goo-goo-"

Hidden Guard Su is too sensitive to this kind of sound, and has been trained in the dungeon since he was a child, and it is the sound of this carrier pigeon that wakes them up every day.

These hidden guards who had been planted in the capital by Tu Ling a long time ago couldn't even have their own names, and each of them only used their surnames to mark their identities, just waiting for the day when they had the task.

When I opened the door, I happened to see my lady wearing a coat and holding a carrier pigeon.

"Qiu Niang, what are you doing?"

Qiu Niang is the wife he married in Beijing in order to hide his identity, and the two have always respected each other like guests and never exceeded the rules, but today she was holding a carrier pigeon sent by the Lord in her hand.

"I just got up at night, and was about to go back to the room, when I happened to see a group of carrier pigeons passing by, and one pigeon actually landed in our yard, and I just wanted to see if this little guy was injured before he was left alone. But you, why are you so nervous? ”

"This is the carrier pigeon given to me by the family, I'm afraid it's something in the clan that I want to do."

Yin Wei Su had no choice but to prevaricate in the past, hoping that she would not be too aware of this matter, it was really a last resort, even if it was his own wife, he would also do it himself.

"Ouch, really, there is something that can't be passed through the post station, you have to use carrier pigeons, I don't understand."

Qiu Niang put down the carrier pigeon as she spoke, yawned, and went back to the room scolding.

It wasn't until it was confirmed that Qiu Niang was asleep that Yin Wei Su opened the familiar iron ring lock on the pigeon's ankle and pulled out the tiny note inside.

With the night vision ability trained in the dungeon for many years, he could see the ten words written on it clearly by the moonlight.
