Chapter 168: The Enemy Attack
"Since the five princes are here today, presumably our goal is the same, the five princes, what do you think?"
The Thirteenth Prince asked his subordinates to pour a cup of hot tea for the Fifth Prince, and the two of them sat down in the study.
"Duan Ling, this person's power in the army is too great, and his influence is extremely high, presumably the thirteen princes also know this."
"Because of this, this prince will be unable to stay up all night.
The fight between you and me is a matter for the two of us, but if Duan Ling wants to get a piece of the pie when the two of us fight to the death, then the prince will be the first to disagree. ”
The fifth prince took a sip of tea slowly, and his face, which was originally quite delicate, was now full of gloom.
"Coincidentally, this prince thinks so too."
"In that case, let's cooperate."
The fifth prince suddenly took out something from his arms and put it on the table, and when the thirteenth prince saw it, he immediately raised his eyebrows and smiled slowly.
At the same time, he also took out something similar to the five princes.
"Then, do as the five princes say."
……
Two days later, when Duan Ling and Lin Liang were still staying in the Suzhou Courtyard, they were just about to lead their henchmen to the capital.
only to find that countless people and horses had come to their side to surround them.
Compared to the last time the assassins were secretly assassinated, this time it was even more fanfare.
"Lord Wang, what should we do now?" Lin Liang was a little nervous.
The dark night has passed because there are still things on the Sunset Dynasty's side, but the forces cultivated here are just left.
In this battle, the fifth prince and the thirteenth prince have joined forces!
"It's good to come, if they don't come, we can't think of a suitable reason to evacuate Suzhou."
Duan Ling smiled at Lin Liang soothingly: "Are you afraid?" I'm afraid our next trip will be full of hardships. ”
"I'm not afraid, you're by my side anyway." As long as Lin Liang looked at Duan Ling, he felt that his heart was full of security.
"Well, since we have been dealt with by the five princes and the thirteen princes, Suzhou must not be able to stay any longer. I have to go back to the capital and seek the protection of my father. ”
Duan Ling waved his hand at the men behind him, and took advantage of the night to rush all the way to the direction of the capital.
Although the pursuers behind him have always been relentlessly chasing, the subordinates that Duan Ling has cultivated over the past few days are also good at it.
The two sides fought each other several times, but no one was able to please anyone.
Instead, Duan Ling and Lin Liang returned to the capital safely all the way.
"Lord Wang, this is the third time that we have faced off head-on with the five princes and the thirteen princes. What is the best way to solve this crisis once and for all? ”
Duan Ling's doorman in the mansion has always been paying attention to the movements of the five princes and the thirteen princes.
However, even if the two joined forces, they were not necessarily Duan Ling's opponents. After all, their prince has a very high prestige in the army.
Since the prince returned to the capital, those military attachés who were co-opted by the five princes and the thirteen princes have all stood on their side of the prince.
Therefore, even if the two sides continued to make small moves in secret, the prince still relied on his influence in the army, which was difficult to match, and the two sides fought to a draw.
"Don't worry, they are in the light and we are in the dark, not to mention that in the capital, as long as there is this king for a day, those military attaches will not be able to defect to the five princes, and the thirteen princes."
For this, Duan Ling is still very confident.
After all, over the years, he has relied on his own bloody battles on the battlefield to make his exploits, but it is not that the fifth prince and the thirteenth prince can make his status higher among those military attaches by promising heavy benefits.
"Yes, my subordinates know."
When the Fifth Prince and the Thirteenth Prince were talking in secret again, the faces of both of them were extremely gloomy.
"I didn't expect Duan Ling to come back, and all those military attachés changed."
"No, the power of Duan Ling, the king of Nanping, is still influential in the military camp, and it really exceeds the expectations of this prince."
The thirteenth prince was young and vigorous, and slapped his palm on the table in the study, he never expected that because of Duan Ling's return, those military attachés who had been bribed by him with countless gold and silver treasures would actually turn against each other like this.
The same is true of the fifth prince, if it weren't for the presence of a hussar general in his mother's family, his influence in the military camp would be simply weak and pitiful.
"But what is to be done now?"
Just when the Fifth Princes and the Thirteenth Princes were struggling with what method they should choose in order to deal with Duan Ling, a news suddenly came that they didn't expect.
On the second day, when the court was in the upper court, the five princes, the thirteen princes, and Duan Ling all wore court clothes and came to the main hall.
The emperor standing at the top had a slightly unkind face: "Now, the attackers of the Moon Worship Kingdom have broken into the border of our dynasty, you Aiqing, but what is the best plan?" ”
When Duan Ling heard this, the hand hanging by his side slowly clenched.
It's the moon worship country again!
Before thinking of it, he was ambushed by the other party twice in a row.
Even, because of this incident, Liang'er was almost injured, and he was full of annoyance for the Moon Worship Country.
The Fifth Princes and the Thirteenth Princes were also surprised, and now, facing attacks from other countries, presumably the current battle between them and Duan Ling could only be put aside.
However, it is really impossible to say who will play the vanguard and run to deal with the people of the Moon Worship Country.
Just as the two of them were thinking, Duan Ling had already stepped forward and stood in the middle of the main hall.
"Back to my father, although my sons are not talented, I am willing to lead my soldiers to send troops to worship the Moon Country and maintain the land of our dynasty!"
"Really?" Originally, the emperor wanted to ask Duan Ling in private.
It's just that, considering that he and Lin Liang got married not long ago, and the two of them had been recuperating in Suzhou for a long time because of their injuries, so they didn't immediately ask Duan Ling to put on his battle robe and teach Yueyue Kingdom a lesson.
However, if it is said that among the civil and military officials, who is young and prestigious, and uses soldiers like gods, there is only this seventh son.
"Yes, please allow your son to lead 100,000 soldiers and horses, and you will definitely teach the Moon Worship Kingdom a lesson!"
"Okay, since that's the case, then I promise you, who of you Aiqing is willing to be the vanguard of the left and right to assist King Nanping?"
At this time, the two generals who had fought side by side with Duan Ling before took the initiative to stand up on the left and right: "The ministers are willing to follow the king of Nanping!" ”
