There are still five days left before the day Gu Chongwu ascends the throne.

Xia Fenghua and General Wei Yong quietly ambushed in the deep mountains a hundred miles away, and the soldiers who lurked into the city entered the city one after another.

The mission led by Gu Zi'an, the vanguard who infiltrated the palace, and General Gai's army continued to advance as before. He looked at the art of war with a calm face, until Zhang Ji lifted the curtain and came in.

He shook his head and called out slowly, "Your Highness." ”

Gu Zi'an raised his head, "Everyone is back?" ”

"As soon as the news arrived, Yi Ning and Xia Fenghua's three thousand people will be able to enter the city in these two days to ensure that you can directly support when you capture the palace. In this way, together with the number of General Gai's soldiers and horses, we are more than the total number of forbidden troops in the city. The sound of the east and the west, the Fenghua County Lord and General Wei Yong are just feints to attract attention, and General Xiao is in charge, so there is no need to worry at all. Of course, as His Highness wishes, the soldiers are bloodless. Therefore, when those soldiers see that you are still alive, they naturally do not want to die anymore. Zhang Ji said, putting all the news in front of Gu Zi'an's desk.

He rolled over, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Meng Yining also drew a small painting on the white paper, and inside was a tall library with crackling fireworks. She was afraid to paint the fireworks like spider webs, so she specially used vermilion paint to draw a few fine brushstrokes.

"She's smart, but don't blame her." Gu Zi'an smiled and looked at Meng Yining's drawing of a small person kowtowing at the bottom of the letter.

Zhang Ji's face was still softened, she smiled and took the letter in Gu Zi'an's hand and read it twice: "The old lady didn't say anything, how can I have an opinion." The little girl is really weird and cute. Being messed up like this by her and Le Yi, we have one or two thousand more people than in the city. And Zhao Chai also died the day before yesterday, which can be regarded as a big trouble. ”

Gu Zi'an took a sip of tea and turned sideways to look at the map unfolded on the table. Routes of various colors are drawn on it, and even the hidden mountain roads and main roads of Beiyang that affect Great Xia are marked.

"Has General Gai's people returned to Great Xia already sent out?" Gu Zi'an asked.

"I left a few days ago."

Although it is not a long time away, Gu Zi'an's faint Daxia Rui King Jingchi's recent situation. I have never heard of the movement of the soldiers and horses of Great Xia, but according to the news around Zhao Erze, 10,000 soldiers and horses have already entered Great Xia, and I don't know what actions will be taken, so that Jing Chi can prepare early.

Hearing Zhang Ji answer himself, Gu Zi'an nodded, "That's good, I hope nothing will happen to Jingchi." King Xia made him the son of the world, and King Jingzheng was not convinced. There will be many incidents. However, it is the internal affairs of other countries, if it weren't for Zhao Erze's infiltration into Great Xia, I wouldn't be able to interfere. ”

Zhang Ji stripped his beard and asked his subordinates to extinguish the two green lanterns. "The person should have already delivered the news, don't be in a hurry. His Royal Highness rested earlier, and the minister retired first. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly retreated.

Zhang Ji looked at the moonlight like snow and spread the ground. It seems that through the mountains and rivers, I have seen the lights on the sun. Meng Yining dragged the letter and said that Zhang's mansion was as usual, so he didn't have to worry. He would look at the light in the room and it was still not extinguished, maybe Gu Zi'an got up and continued to read.

It's just that they didn't know that the news of Zhao Erze's infiltration into Great Xia did not reach King Xia and Jingchi. Originally, General Gai sent two people to arrive separately, but he didn't know that the people who were going to Jingchi Mansion suddenly encountered barbarian bandits halfway.

The bandits, who had just suffered a defeat in Delin City, saw the people of the Central Plains who were alone, like hungry wolves staring at their prey. The crowd gathered around the lonely messenger and roared viciously. The messenger died in the cheers of the bandits. Even the letters, too, fell into the middle of the tall bandit leader with tattooed arms.

Another messenger was also stabbed to death in the official post in the night. The blood was wiped clean, the body was dragged to the mass grave and buried casually, and the letter also fell into the hands of the person Gu Zi'an was most worried about - Lian Wang Jingzheng.

Jing Zheng sat on a small stool in the dungeon, wearing a brocade robe and jade clothes, looking out of place with the people nearby. There were only two of them in the cell. The uneven walls are lit with fire.

Zhao Erze leaned against the damp and dirty wall and spat at him.

Jing Zheng wasn't annoyed, just smiled.

"I didn't order you to be executed, what's the hurry?" He looked at him and smiled.

Zhao Erze's fingers picked at the ground of the hay, his eyes were cloudy and yellow, but he straightened his waist and snorted coldly: "What is King Lian going to do!" You unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge! ”

Jing Zheng glanced at him indifferently: "It's very good to live here, after all, you are not the only dignitary who has lived here." Ask you which direction the soldiers have retreated, and you won't say. But it doesn't matter if you don't say it, those who ran to the border were caught by us...... Killed all. Didn't they want to go home, so we sent them home. ”

Zhao Erze's chest rose and fell, and he was dressed roughly. Although they are not as good as other generals in Beiyang, they eat and live together, but they still care about their soldiers, after all, they have also fought to the death. He also knew that when his subordinates learned that he insisted on coming to Great Xia, they dissuaded him one after another. It's just that he has always said everything about his sister Zhao Hai's orders, so he categorically refuses to listen to all questions. Now, I have to regret it.

One decision has cost thousands of lives. Born in the house since he was a child, he has never suffered so much. Zhao Erze thought about it for a long time in the past few days, and finally figured out the reason why Jing Zheng arrested him - to dedicate him to King Xia in exchange for the position of the prince. But he didn't understand how he was pushed into the fire pit again when he was obviously here to help him seize power. Then he gritted his teeth and asked, "King Lian must have planned to lure me into the game a long time ago." ”

Jing Zheng was happy, but he didn't know the cause and effect when it came to the end. This Zhao Erze is really stupid, which is why he still keeps his life, maybe he can help himself in the future. He said: "It's what you Beiyang Queen Zhao Hai meant, don't want to be an enemy of Great Xia, so I'm afraid of General Gai's soldiers and horses." You want to help me seize power and become king, so that I can take back the order. 10,000 soldiers and horses, it's not enough to stuff my teeth, and the disciples will use this person to seize power. ”

He paused, "So, it can only be applied to another place." Jing Zheng took out a few letters from his arms and threw them in front of Zhao Erze, "Take a look." ”

Zhao Erze raised his eyes and glared at him, picked up the letter on the ground, and saw himself familiarly, and there was a faint fragrance of orchids in the air. It was a letter from Zhao Chai asking when Zhao Erze would leave to return to China, and she also mentioned in the letter that Gu Chongwu was waiting for his majestic uncle to protect him.

Zhao Erze's lips trembled, and his eyes were bloodshot. He stared at Jing Zheng's satin clothes reflecting the light, and said, "My nephew will ascend the throne soon, aren't you afraid that he will come to avenge me?" ”

Jing Zheng smiled coldly, did not answer his question, but said, "Gu Zi'an is dead. And you have also become an outcast. ”
