When Hong Ding returned to Yue Tang's side, the firelight in Qinzhou City was still rushing, but the shouts had almost disappeared. He presented a handwritten letter to Yue Tang and said, "General Ke Zhao's spies are also in the city, and when they saw me, they secretly passed this handwritten letter to me, which was originally to be sent to the general out of the city." ”

Yue Tang took it with a smile and said, "This is really a coincidence, as soon as you enter, someone found you, and you happened to be looking for me." ”

Hong Ding didn't argue, just waited for Yue Tang to read the handbook. Yue Tang opened it idly, and after reading a few lines, his eyes were solemn, although he was suspicious, he looked at Hong Ding quite solemnly, and asked, "There are thousands of fire mines buried under the city?" Is it true or false?! ”

Hong Ding: "General Ke Zhao's spies have found two places where ambushes and mines are buried, and they have been removed, but it is estimated that there will be many more - it can also be seen from the fact that Cheng Li has been leading the general into the city." ”

Yue Tang looked downcast: "If there are really countless ambush thunders buried waiting for me to detonate inside, why didn't the stray rocket arrows cause any explosion of ambush thunders?" ”

Hong Ding: "According to the spies, the fire and thunder are buried deep underground, and the location of the main lead is only known to Cheng Li, and it will be ignited after the general enters the city." ”

Yue Tang pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "In that case, let's see how many fire thunders there are." She summoned the medical history outside aloud and ordered: "Come, dig three feet into the ground for me, and see if there are any fire and thunder in the ground!" The heart is digging, and you must not slack off! ”

The soldier left in response, and Yue Tang patted Hong Ding on the shoulder with the handwriting, "Thank you, Lord Hong." ”

Hong Ding hung his head: "It's all ...... Subordinates should do. ”

In the city of Qinzhou, the rebel army composed of Cheng Li and other rebels has retreated to the hinterland of the city. Cheng Li looked gloomily at the soldiers who came out of nowhere, but rushed from all directions, and gradually surrounded them.

There was no slaughter, but it kept approaching.

Finally, one man walked out of the surrounded soldiers, his eyes faint, like frost and snow.

This person stood in front of Cheng Li and said lightly: "If you tie your hands, you can live." ”

Cheng Li was fearless and asked, "Are you the prince of Xi Xi Jinghui?" ”

The man smiled and replied, "I am all of them." ”

On the edge of Qinzhou City, Rongquan.

It is a natural geothermal spring with warm water bubbling all year round, and is surrounded by locals for fun. Later, it was expropriated by the government and became a place for officials and nobles to take a bath.

Ke Zhao stood on the edge of the pool and looked at the bubbling spring water, and said regretfully: "Such a good pool, you can't soak it." ”

The henchman on the side smiled and said: "If you want to soak, you can do it now, and no one else knows." ”

Ke Zhao: "That's not possible, this is a send-off, if it is contaminated with the breath of Panrao, I'm afraid it will ruin the luck." He shook his head quite exquisitely, "Only when it is pure and pure can it be smooth and smooth." Wasn't it always like that? Nosaki of the letter"

The master nodded with a smile, and asked again: "Then Prince Xi is in Qinzhou, will General Guiying really come to the appointment?" In public and private, she will go directly to find Prince Xi......"

Ke Zhao smiled: "Don't you know, our prince is an infatuated species, knowing that General Guiying came to take his head by holy order, and he was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he planned to clear all the obstacles in the city first, and then go to find her." So now, even if General Guiying goes to look for him, he will avoid him. He stroked his palm slightly, "It's rare, it's really rare, I haven't seen such a love seed in years." ”

The master smiled amusefully and said, "Is such a person suitable to sit in that position?" ”

Ke Zhao: "It's better than being suspicious and cold." ”

Master: "Since he avoided General Guiying, how could he come to see her?" ”

Ke Zhao smiled very proudly: "Mountain people have their own tricks. "It's all to blame for that lingering Taiqiang, if you have to make such a play, you promised the prince to give him a big gift, and you can't break your promise." ”

Master: "It is indeed a great gift to give him the woman that the prince likes." ”

Ke Zhao pouted: "The prince doesn't necessarily like it." He is really too concerned about this woman, and this way of sending it to the door as a gift may be despised by him. ”

The master was slightly worried: "That'...... Will you see the Prince? ”

Ke Zhao smiled: "No." After all, it was what he had in mind. ”

Capital. Palace.

There were only two people in the dormitory, Duan Shuqing and Yue Bai, and the rest of the palace were sent out.

The two had not spoken for a while, and the tacit atmosphere made Duan Shuqing a little unhappy. She looked at Yue Bai, who was sitting under her: "You came here to sit?" Then I'm leaving. ”

Yue Bai didn't look at her as soon as she spoke out as usual, still looking in the direction of the palace gate, and said, "The minister accompanies the emperor and waits for news." ”

Duan Shuqing said impatiently: "What is there to wait for, when news comes, it will naturally be spread." ”

Yue Bai didn't answer, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

Duan Shuqing said again: "Tang'er will be fine, and I can't believe my words?" ”

Yue Bai: "The person I sent to deliver the message died, and the pigeon I sent to deliver the message also died. The emperor was afraid that Yue Tang would leave Qinzhou. ”

Sentence by sentence, there is no doubt about it.

Duan Shuqing snorted for a moment and said, "If she escapes, Prince Xi will also flee, how can she be arrested?" ”

Yue Bai: "First use the rioting refugees as bait, and lead Taiqiang to think that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and send 30,000 elite people from Lanxi to secretly enter Qinzhou from Chencang, and seize Qinzhou in the name of 'helping and suppressing bandits', and then use this to coerce Daxia to renegotiate the peace terms, the emperor can scold Beiting for not believing in his words, or he can take the opportunity to kill Prince Xi in Qinzhou, killing two birds with one stone; The news spread to Beiting, and Ke Zhao was sent to Qinzhou, because he had helped Prince Xi, and if they died in Qinzhou together, it would really be reasonable, and therefore Yue Tang could be sent to the rescue, after all, they were an unmarried couple who were about to get married. Yue Bai made the final decision, "With a two-pronged approach, you will definitely be able to catch the big fish of Prince Xi." ”

Duan Shuqing smiled: "What if Beiting doesn't take the bait?" ”

"Then you can also send those few people in the family who are concerned about the former emperor to go, and call it surrender in the name of beauty, but in fact, they will definitely die in Qinzhou, so that 'the displaced people are all rabble, but they are fighting for power, not for the former emperor'." Yue Bai's voice was calm, "No matter what, the Qinzhou riot can trigger the result that the emperor wants." ”

Duan Shuqing had to admit in his heart that Yue Bai was probably the person who knew him best in the world. What she thinks, what she plans and what she responds, he can guess exactly what she thinks, and even extremely accurately.

She panicked, she didn't like the presence of such a person who knew her heart; But at the same time, she felt inexplicably relieved, as if someone could know her and understand her, even if she clearly saw the greed and evil in her heart, she still never gave up.

She looked at Yue Bai, who was facing her side, and suddenly felt that he had never given herself the side like this, and her heart was suddenly shocked, and the fear in her heart blurted out: "Are you blaming me?" ”
