Wan Lin respectfully saluted Data and said, "Very good, the sooner you succeed to the throne, the better!" Then the foreign minister wishes you a smooth accession to the throne. ”

At this time, Manla said a few words of Qiangwan to Data, but Wan Lin did not understand, and Data immediately translated his words for Wan Lin after listening to it.

"Master Wan, the national teacher asked you if you only brought four hundred people over this time? If Uncle Huang fights back, can he help us defend the Imperial City? ”

Wan Lin said: "Yes, the foreign minister only brought these people. However, they are all elite soldiers, and if they are properly defended, it should be possible to hold the imperial city and wait for the army to come to the rescue. ”

Datta smiled with relief when he heard this, and relayed the words to the national teacher.

When the national teacher heard this, he immediately saluted and thanked Wan Lin, and Wan Lin politely returned the salute to him.

Wan Lin said again: "Please also ask Your Highness to show the foreign ministers the map of Qiang Wan, especially the national capital and the palace, and let's discuss the issue of defense." ”

"Okay, then you'll have to do it."

Datta called for a map and a sand table, and called several of the guards.

Wan Lin also called the accompanying generals, and everyone discussed for a long time, and finally drew up a plan for battle and defense before dark.

As soon as Wan Lin returned to the post house, he held another meeting with the officials and generals to confirm the plan for tomorrow.

Tomorrow morning, as soon as Datta ascends the throne, he will announce to the world, and then the imperial uncle will definitely take action, and a fierce battle is inevitable.

Wan Lin asked everyone to have a good rest at night and prepare for tomorrow.

Fu Xiaojiu deliberately walked slowly, and when everyone walked out, she stayed.

"Lady, you understand what I just said, right?"

Wan Lin asked with a serious expression.

Fu Xiaojiu replied: "I understand." ”

Wan Lin stepped forward, took her hand and said, "From tomorrow onwards, you will stay in the post house obediently, if I don't come to you, you won't take a step out of the post house." Don't worry, I'll always be by Prince Data's side, and I'll be fine. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said resolutely: "No, I came with you just to not leave you for a single step." How can I hide on my own? Since you said you'd be fine, I'll be fine with you. Don't persuade me anymore, or I'll be angry. ”

"Actually, after we arrived in Qiangwan, the situation here has been much better than I expected. Fortunately, it was Prince Datta who guarded the capital, and we were able to meet him smoothly and come to the palace smoothly. It's already safe for us. ”

After Wan Lin finished speaking, he lowered his head and kissed the back of Fu Xiaojiu's hand, and said to her: "I guess we must have the good luck of your auspicious star." ”

Fu Xiaojiu gave him a blank look, "You don't fool me here." I heard what you just said to them. Even if the capital of the country is safe tomorrow, but since tomorrow, the rebellious imperial uncle will definitely attack the capital with all his strength when he hears that Data has become the king. The dangerous time has not yet come! ”

Wan Lin frowned helplessly, "Alas, you know too much, I broke you up just now." ”

Fu Xiaojiu suddenly laughed, "Hehe, okay, don't persuade me." It has been decided that I will stay with you and not leave, and the most important thing now is that we must find a way to win. Although we came to Qiangwan in the name of the mission, everyone can see what our purpose is? Especially when Prince Data succeeds to the throne tomorrow, the rebels may hate us more than they hate Data. ”

Wan Lin said with solemn eyes: "You are right. I thought that I could deal with both parties when I came to Qiangwan, but I didn't expect the situation in Qiangwan to change so quickly. Knowing this, I should have brought more soldiers and horses, and came to help Qiang Wan quell the rebellion. ”

Fu Xiaojiu said optimistically: "It's also a good thing that the situation changes quickly, lest we have to go back and forth." Aren't there still 600 elite soldiers hidden in our warships? There are still 5,000 elite soldiers in the national capital and the palace, at least they can hold out until the army comes to help, right? ”

Wan Lin thought for a while and said: "If it goes well, the army of reinforcements should arrive in three or four days, as long as we can hold out until that time, we will not be afraid." ”

Wan Lin no longer persuaded Fu Xiaojiu to hide, and pulled her to the bedside.

Normally, four guards are in one room, of course Fu Xiaojiu can't live with them, so he stayed in Wanlin's room directly.

The two of them talked for a while and fell asleep, and they had to recharge their energy for tomorrow when they didn't know how it would change.

Fu Xiaojiu was sleeping sweetly in Wan Lin's arms, when she suddenly heard Wan Lin calling her anxiously.

"Wake up, lady! Wake up, lady! ”

Fu Xiaojiu reacted for a second before remembering where he was, suddenly opened his eyes, and sat up nervously.

Because Fu Xiaojiu was pillowing Wan Lin's arm just now, Wan Lin woke her up before sitting up.

Without Wan Lin to speak, Fu Xiaojiu heard the sound of fighting outside and the incessant screams and crying.

Fu Xiaojiu suddenly trembled in panic, and asked in disbelief, "What's going on outside?" Could it be that the rebels are attacking? ”

Wan Lin didn't want to believe it, but he had to say: "It should be like this." ”

After Wan Lin finished speaking, he handed the clothes to Fu Xiaojiu, "Lady, quickly put on your clothes and hide in the ...... Hide in the box! ”

Wan Lin quickly looked around the room, and then felt that a box in the corner should be safe.

Fu Xiaojiu quickly put on his clothes and said, "I don't want to hide!" Unless you hide with me! ”

Wan Lin quickly got dressed and said anxiously, "What time is it now?" The palace has been attacked, do you think it will be safe here? I have to protect you even if I have one breath left, you ......"

Before Wan Lin finished speaking, an anxious inquiry suddenly came from outside their door.

"My lord, are you and Fu Xiao okay?"

It was the voice of the captain of the guard, Wu Kaili.

Wan Lin immediately replied, "We're fine!" ”

Wu Kaili quickly said: "Then you guys don't come out of the house first, it's very chaotic outside now!" Lu Bin and Hua Zhen and I will be guarding the door, and when the time is almost right, we will send you back to the warship!" ”

Wan Lin walked quickly to the door and asked, "What about the people of our mission?" Are they still safe? ”

Wu Kaili replied: "After all, we are envoys from the kingdom, and the rebels will not dare to do anything to us for the time being." Captain Wang led fifty men to guard the gate of the post house, and General Fan led the others to fight the rebels. ”

Wan Lin pondered anxiously for a moment, and then said to Wu Kaili: "But has anyone gone to inform the generals who stayed on the warship?" ”

Wu Kaili replied: "Someone went, but I don't know if I can send the news out smoothly." ”

Wan Lin then asked, "What is the situation on Prince Data's side?" He's not going to have an accident, is he? ”

Wu Kaili didn't dare to hide it, and replied in embarrassment: "The situation on the prince's side is not very clear, he should be fine, right?" ”

"Let me out, I've got to make sure he's okay! Otherwise, our trip will be in vain! ”

Wan Lin's tone was resolute, and he was about to take down the deadbolt.

Wu Kaili immediately said: "Your Excellency, you can't go out!" If something happens to you, I won't be able to explain it to the emperor! ”

Fu Xiaojiu also grabbed Wan Lin and said with a straight face: "You can't go out!" Aren't you going out to die? ”

Wan Lin wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "But if I can't confirm that the prince is okay, I will be humiliated by this mission!" Our inn is not far from his dormitory, I'll take a look and I'll be back immediately, and I'll be fine. ”

"No way!"

Fu Xiaojiu and Wu Kaili said at the same time.

Wu Kaili then said to Lu Bin and Hua Zhen: "You guys stay here carefully, I'll go and see the prince's situation!"

Wan Lin heard Wu Kaili's words, and before he could tell him to be careful, he had already left the door.

At this time, Fu Xiaojiu said: "Aren't the rebels far away from the country? Besides, you and the prince have deployed the capital and the palace properly, how could the rebels come into the palace in the middle of the night? Could it be that someone lurked in the city or the palace before? Or is it out of the inner ghost and letting the people from the outside in? ”

Wan Lin only had time to think about this question now, but without thinking too much, he said with certainty: "There must be an inner ghost who told the emperor's uncle Data about his ascension to the throne tomorrow." The people in our mission are definitely not internal ghosts, and if there are internal ghosts, they must also be people who know tomorrow's plans, and if they want to check it, they can easily find out. ”

Wan Lin spoke with an inquiring look in his eyes.

"Do you know who the inner ghost is?"

Fu Xiaojiu asked impatiently.

"It's hard to say." Wan Lin said and pulled Fu Xiaojiu to the front of the box.

"Lady, you'd better hurry up and go in and hide. If something happens to me, I won't live alone! ”

Fu Xiaojiu has never been so powerless.

Isn't she always called "Jixing"?

How did you suddenly find yourself in such a dangerous situation?

Wan Lin opened the box, took out the sundries inside, and saw that Fu Xiaojiu was still standing still, so he directly carried her to the box.

"I don't want to hide!" Fu Xiaojiu really didn't want to hide.

"Obedient!"

Wan Lin was just about to press her head and stuff her into the box, when Wu Kaili's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"My lord, my subordinates have confirmed that Prince Data has escaped from the palace, he should be fine."

Wan Lin asked worriedly, "Is he out of the palace?" Will he be safe? ”

Wu Kaili replied uncertainly: "Since he has escaped, he must have a master by his side, so he should be fine, right?" My lord, the rebels must be coming for him. He fled, and the rebels will not embarrass us. Otherwise, if something happens to the mission, it will definitely anger Dachen, and the emperor will definitely send a large army to level the land of Qiangwan! You and Fu Xiao still don't come out, your subordinates think that the rebels will stop when they find out that Data has fled, and send someone to find him, and they will not cause trouble to the palace again. ”

Wan Lin hurriedly said: "But what if Data escapes, what if it falls into the hands of the rebels?" It's okay for us to have an accident with him, and I can't explain it to the emperor when I go back! I should go out and talk to Uncle Huang directly, at least I have to hold him steady and wait for the army to come to my aid. ”

As soon as Wan Lin's words fell, he heard Wu Kaili exclaim: "It's not good, the rebels are coming into the post house!"
