Chapter 189: Secret Letter
The men of the Great Flame have no pierced ears.
She had only seen it on the Khitans so far, such as the missing Yelu Hongdian, and the soldiers she saw in the Khitan barracks that day.
Almost everyone has pierced ears and wears exaggerated earrings.
Since it is a Khitan, why did it appear in the palace when the two armies were about to fight?
And, seeing how he came and went freely, he was obviously very familiar with this place.
She felt like she had discovered a big secret, but she didn't stop.
Whether it is robbing people's daughters or fornicating with enemy countries, she has no time and energy to investigate the truth. She just wanted to rescue Ran Zongyan, and she didn't want to delay even a second.
After walking a few streets, I just saw the Ran family army returning from the city gate to rest.
After identifying it, it was the group from the Flame Mountain, and she quickly chased after them, and followed them into a large courtyard.
This is where they usually rest, don't look at the yard, it's really not small, but it can't stand the many soldiers of the Ran family.
Although they took turns to rest, they were suddenly stuffed to the brim.
"Military advisor, General Zhang ordered you to go to the city wall, saying that there is something important to discuss."
"Okay."
Cheng Zhanzhou is also here?
Han Bing whispered into his room following the voice.
"Who?"
"Shh......h
"Commander of the Cold?"
Han Bing smirked, "I'm no longer your commander. ”
"It doesn't matter, the girl will always be the leader in the heart of the Ran family."
"When did you come?"
"Yesterday."
"But why is Miss Han dressed like this?"
She quickly recounted what had happened: "Can I follow you in disguise?" ”
Cheng Zhanzhou did not hesitate: "It is naturally feasible." ”
Han Bing changed his clothes, followed behind Cheng Zhanzhou with another soldier, and walked towards the city gate.
Along the way, there were people watching them.
And there are quite a few of them...... As the military advisor of the Ran family's army, there will be someone to monitor the whole process.
It seems that this Ran family army has been divided into two camps.
Coming to a room on the city wall, Zhang Jiexin looked at a letter in his hand with a sad face.
"Zhanzhou, come and take a look."
He looked up and glanced at Han Bing: "Who is this?" ”
"Me."
The familiar voice surprised him slightly: "Girl, you ......"
"Shh
"Okay, Zhang Mou understands."
"But the girl came just in time, and here is a letter from you."
Her? Who will write to her?
These were two letters sent urgently from the capital, one was written by Song Xuan, and the other was written by Hua Hanyuan to her.
Holding the letter, she couldn't help muttering: "What did he write to me for?" ”
Two equally surprised eyes fell on her at the same time, only to see that she directly tore open the seal, pulled out the letter paper inside, and handed it to Cheng Zhanzhou casually: "Read it and listen to it." ”
Cheng Zhanzhou looked at the letter in front of him: "Girl, this is written to you." ”
"I know, I'm not illiterate."
Illiterate?
Zhang Jiexin and Cheng Zhanzhou quickly exchanged a look, they had seen cold ice writing. Although most of the words they didn't recognize, the content was so subtle and profound that it could not be written by an illiterate person.
But in the end, he still read it, and after reading it according to the content, Han Bing was still confused: "What kind of mess is this writing?" ”
Cheng Zhanzhou helplessly became a translator again: "Commander Hua means that the holy decree will come soon." It demanded that the Khitans be driven out of the Dalie territory at any cost, and that they should be made to pay the price. ”
"Commander Hua told us to prepare early, and said that the palace should not worry too much, he will take care of it more."
Han Bing was silent, what did Lie Zechu mean was to let the 20,000-strong Ran family army go head-to-head with the 100,000-strong Khitan army?
And can only win and not lose? At any cost, does it include Ran Zongyan's life?
"What did Song Xuan say over there?"
"The situation in the palace is not very good, all of them can't even enter and leave the palace at will, but except for the restriction of movement, nothing has changed."
"Is there any news from the prince?"
"Nope."
"What do you think about this?"
Cheng Zhanzhou hesitated slightly: "Miss Han, how credible is the words of this Hua commander?" ”
"There's no need for him to lie to me."
Zhang Jiexin also nodded: "Judging from the content of the letter, there is indeed no need to lie. This decree will come soon, and it will not be falsified. It's just that this Hua Hanyuan, why did he come to inform us? Not to mention the care of the palace, if the emperor knows about it......"
Even if he didn't say it, Han Bing knew the seriousness of the consequences.
It seems that she owes Hua Hanyuan a favor again.
"Tell me about the situation on the Khitan King's side."
From the mouths of the two of them, it was learned that Yelu Hongdian was the fourth son of Yelu Fengzhen, the Khitan king. Because Yelu Hongdian's mother is just a palace maid, she has no background and no strong family, so she was sent to Dalie as a proton since she was a child.
And it was Yelu Caisi, the third brother of Yelu Fengzhen, who held Ran Zongyan hostage.
For Yelu Fengzhen to become the king of the Khitan tribe, he has never been convinced.
Obviously, his mother was the daughter of the most powerful Khitan tribe, but the old Khitan king did not let her mother become queen. Therefore, he did not inherit the position of Khitan king as he wished.
For decades, the two brothers were at loggerheads.
But that's just their internal contradictions, and under the strength of the Great Lie, there has not been any war with the surrounding countries for hundreds of years. Therefore, Dalie did not intervene too much in the internal problems of these vassal states.
It may be that the comfortable days have passed for too long, and the Khitan Kingdom has grown strong enough to send hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Dalie at any time.
"Does the emperor want to take this opportunity to eradicate the Ran family's army in one fell swoop?"
Zhang Jiexin and Cheng Zhanzhou were silent, look, even she could see the conspiracy, how could they not know about it?
"Where can I find Jereus?"
"They are nomads, and they have the intention to hide. It's not easy to find your whereabouts, so my opinion is to wait! ”
"They're in the dark, maybe our every move is under the watchful eye of the other party. Moreover, Jerod must have been more anxious to find his brother than we are. ”
Jereus is like a hidden poisonous snake, or the crazy kind. Not only bite the enemy, but also attack your own people.
"By the way, why did the Ran family army split into two? Even a different place to rest? ”
"The girl doesn't know, this Xiliang City is in charge of General Wang Cheng. Even we, here, can only obey the orders of General Wang Cheng, except for the commander who holds the talisman. ”
Talismans...... Han Bing really wanted to slap himself at the moment, what did he do in a hurry to go back?
"What is the relationship between Wang Cheng and the prince? Why can he and his mother blatantly live in the palace? ”
"Old Madam Wang is the aunt of the prince."
Aunt? Isn't that his mother's sister?
It turned out to be a relative, no wonder he acted so arrogantly.
"If you don't say it, others still think that their mother and son are the masters of the Regent's Mansion."
"Don't care about the rest, since the emperor wants to kill two birds with one stone, then, let's let him see, let the people of the world see, whether the Khitan people are powerful, or my Ran family army is strong!"
