"When we attack the imperial city of the Tanglin Kingdom, it doesn't matter if Princess Yan doesn't want to come back, we will directly move the capital of the Western Chu Kingdom to the imperial city of the Tanglin Kingdom." The subordinate said to Meng Yichen.

Although these words are somewhat unrealistic, they still sound pretty good.

Meng Yichen's anger was extinguished. "Alright, let's go down! Be prepared, don't make any mistakes. ”

The time set by Gu Beicheng and Meng Yichen was the first day of the new year, and on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the emperor did not go to the empress concubine, but went to the imperial concubine.

The emperor came with great interest, but the imperial concubine asked, "Why did the emperor come here with the concubines?" Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, shouldn't the emperor be at the empress mother's place? ”

"I'll go to the queen in a while, and I'm here now to see something with you."

"Something." The imperial concubine asked curiously.

"Come out with me, and you'll see it." The emperor sold the guanzi.

The imperial concubine followed the emperor out of the hot warm hall. The emperor glanced at Manager Yin, and Manager Yin immediately went to prepare.

A moment later, the entire night sky was filled with brilliant fireworks. Dazzling and beautiful.

These beautiful fireworks are truly stunning.

The imperial concubine looked up at the fireworks, and her heart was also a little happy.

The emperor smiled and said, "I remember, you like fireworks. Last year, you went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in advance to get fireworks and set them off by yourself? ”

Last year, she did set off fireworks, but it was to signal the Nighthawks.

It's just that I didn't expect that Mu Lingxuan actually remembered it.

"Yes! I love fireworks. The imperial concubine also said with a smile.

"If you like it, since you like it, then tomorrow night, and on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will order someone to set off fireworks for you, every year."

The emperor promised the imperial concubine.

The imperial concubine's face was still a little moved, but she still said, "Your Majesty, have you ever remembered that the concubine said that this fireworks is an entertainment activity that costs the people and money." It's just a matter of letting it go once in a while. If it's something that is fleeting, why bother with longevity? ”

When the imperial concubine said this, the smile on the emperor's face stiffened slightly, and then said, "Although it is a fleeting thing, it is still necessary to pursue it for a long time." Every year in the future, fireworks will be set off to celebrate every major festival. It's not a waste of money, it's just a surplus that a country should have. It is to highlight the prosperity of our Tanglin country. ”

At this moment, Chu Shuyao suddenly felt that Mu Lingxuan, who was so proud and confident, was full of brilliance.

Such a good person, all covered in gold.

"Why does the imperial concubine look at me like this?"

"The concubine just suddenly felt that the emperor was indeed a good emperor."

Chu Shuyao suddenly said such a thing, which made Mu Lingxuan a little flattered.

"Really? Does the imperial concubine really think so? ”

The imperial concubine nodded, but said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, it's not early, and the fireworks have already been watched." The Queen Mother should have to wait. ”

"Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me?" Mu Lingxuan asked matter-of-factly.

"The emperor laughed, the entire Tanglin Kingdom belongs to the emperor, the whole world, it is not the king's land, who can catch up with the emperor?"

"Haha, that's right."

"Since the imperial concubine doesn't want to stay with me, then I'll go to the queen, and the imperial concubine should have a good rest!"

"Yes, the concubine sends the emperor."

Chu Shuyao watched the emperor leave, but she fell into deep thought.

Is it true that such a wise emperor does not know the plans of the enemy and his own courtiers?

Chu Shuyao secretly passed the news to Nighthawk, and asked Nighthawk to send the news to Meng Yichen, so that Meng Yichen could keep an eye on it to prevent fraud.

She felt that if she did this, no matter whether Meng Yichen listened to her advice or not, no matter what the final outcome was, she would no longer feel guilty in her heart.

"Lord, princess Yan let people pass the word."

"Bring someone up."

Nighthawk soon appeared in front of Meng Yichen, and said to Meng Yichen without humility or arrogance, "Princess Yan asked me to tell the prince to keep an eye on it to prevent fraud." ”

"Okay, I know, thank you for me, princess."

After Nighthawk finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Meng Yichen stopped him.

"If you have the opportunity, you will persuade Princess Yan for me, hoping that she can go back to Xichu with me."

"I advise the prince to die of this heart! The princess won't go back with you. Nighthawk said this dryly, without explanation, and left directly.

On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the entire imperial city of Tanglin was indeed chaotic, and there was a feeling of chaos.

The city gate was opened from the inside, which meant letting Meng Yichen enter the city.

Meng Yichen's subordinates said to Meng Yichen, "It's too easy for this city gate to open. I don't know if it's a fraud! ”

Meng Yichen was also a little hesitant.

But if it's true, if you miss this good opportunity, you won't have a chance again.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger?

After being silent for a long time, Meng Yichen spoke, "Let's go, follow this king into the imperial city." ”

As soon as Meng Yichen's family was about to march, Nighthawk galloped out on horseback.

shouted loudly at the dark place, "Princess Yan said, don't act rashly, this matter is deceitful." ”

Nighthawk shouted three times at the gate of the city, and left on his own, regardless of whether there was a response or not.

Meng Yichen's subordinates looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

In the end, he asked Meng Yichen, "Lord Wang, can we enter?" ”

Meng Yichen chose to be silent again, and at this time, someone came out of the city gate on horseback and shouted into the darkness, "Lord Wang, our prince asks for support." ”

"Please come and help!" Before the man could finish speaking, he was shot by an arrow and fell off his horse.

At this time, Meng Yichen's subordinates couldn't sit still, "Lord Wang, it seems that Gu Beicheng has really done it, let's go into the city too, right?" ”

Meng Yichen didn't hesitate anymore this time, "Tell me to go down and withdraw!" ”

"Withdraw?"

Those subordinates couldn't understand, "Lord Wang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" How can it be withdrawn? ”

"Doesn't what this king said work?" Meng Yichen was angry.

"Yes, withdraw!" The subordinate said to his subordinates.

Soon, Meng Yichen's men and horses withdrew, and they retreated at a very fast speed, feeling like they were fleeing.

"Lord Wang, is it necessary for us to retreat so quickly? In this way, even if Gu Beicheng can succeed, we won't be able to rush back for a while! ”

"Say no more, retreat quickly. If you don't retreat, you will be surrounded and intercepted. ”

"What?"

"How is that possible? The prince was too worried. ”

"The people of this Tanglin Kingdom will not chase and intercept them."

As soon as the subordinate finished speaking, a shouting voice came from the surrounding woods, "Rush! Kill! ”

The men's faces turned green, "Damn! There are really people chasing and intercepting them. ”

"No matter what, you must break out of the encirclement!" Meng Yichen spoke.

"Yes."

"Get me out of the encirclement!" The subordinate shouted loudly.

Because Meng Yichen's men and horses were already prepared, after breaking out of the encirclement, even if there were losses, it was not considered a heavy casualty.

Although the men and horses were exhausted after fighting.

But Meng Yichen still didn't dare to stay and slack off.

Meng Yichen panted and said, "Tell me to go down, I can't stop, I have to leave without stopping." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand."

But the people of Tanglin Kingdom are obviously making a lot of plans. In the process of retreating along the way, Meng Yichen repeatedly encountered plots.

One of Meng Yichen's right-hand men was also killed in the process.

And Meng Yichen was also plotted, an arrow shot straight into his heart, but fortunately, his body was deflected, and the arrow missed a fraction and did not hit his heart.

But even then, he was seriously injured.

Later, Meng Yichen didn't know how he returned to the Western Chu Kingdom.

When he awoke, he was already lying in his palace. The wound had been healed, and the princess, lying beside her, looked exhausted and asleep.

"Water." Meng Yichen made a voice with difficulty.

The princess was immediately woken up, her excited words were incoherent, and she cried with joy, "Lord, it's great that you finally woke up." ”

The princess hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Meng Yichen and carefully fed Meng Yichen to drink.

Meng Yichen was still not worried about what happened that day, so he asked, "How did I come back?" What about those men? How are they? ”

"The prince was brought back by the deputy general, and when the prince came back, he was seriously injured and had been in a coma for three days and three nights. The rest of the things have been taken care of by the deputy general, and the prince doesn't have to worry too much. ”

"The concubine knows that the prince is not at ease, so she asks the deputy general to come and talk back."

"Okay." Meng Yichen said.

Regarding Princess Gao Xin'er's arrangement, Meng Yichen still agrees.

This also shows that Gao Xin'er understands him.

"Subordinates, see the prince, the prince, you have finally woken up."

"What's going on now?" Every word Meng Yichen said, it would affect the wound and make him grin in pain.

The deputy general hurriedly replied, "That day, after we broke out of the heavy siege, we returned to the Western Chu Kingdom, but we suffered heavy casualties. ”

"We have indeed fallen for the tricks of the Tanglin Kingdom. But it's okay for now, although our side has suffered heavy casualties, but on the side of Tanglin Kingdom, for a while, it will not move the Western Chu Kingdom. ”

Hearing this, Meng Yichen breathed a sigh of relief, if the Western Chu Kingdom fell in his hands, then he would really be ashamed.

"How's the princess?" Meng Yichen asked again.

That day, thanks to Princess Yan for letting us report the news, we didn't rush in.

It's just that when Princess Yan didn't let us in that day, the prince was still hesitating. But later, when someone said that Gu Beicheng asked us to rescue, the prince was firm in his idea of evacuating?

"Because the person who passed the message behind was too anxious. Those words were too anxious to trick us in. ”

"I see!" The look of the subordinate who suddenly realized.

"Princess Yan is like us to report the news, she must not be able to hide it from Mu Lingxuan. What happened to Princess Chang now? Mu Lingxuan is embarrassed for her? ”

"This prince, please rest assured, because Princess Yan is pregnant, Mu Lingxuan will not do anything to Princess Yan."

"That's good." Although Meng Yichen felt like she was on her back when she heard the words "pregnant". But I was relieved.

In his heart, as long as Princess Chang is okay, it's fine.
