As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked. Huan Ke took my hand and stiffened, and I chuckled, knowing that he had already thought of it.

"If Lord Zhao surrenders and kidnaps Princess Pingzhou, what will be Wei Ye's reaction?" I went on faster before Zhufeng was eager to speak: "When most of his guard is removed, Lord Zhao will inform Wei Ye again that Xingzhou City has dried up, and the vitality of the army led by the general has been greatly damaged, and all the available soldiers and horses are only 5,000. After that, whether Lord Zhao and Fu Tan were treated politely or thrown into the dungeon, for the sake of the old friendship, Dong Yan would definitely come to visit Lord Zhao. Then narrate and persuade, and everything will fall into place. ”

"If the word is true, everyone will rejoice; If the negotiation fails, I will either stun Dong Yan, and I will change my appearance to act like him, or if I can't fight, I will try my best to flee and convey a message to Xingzhou. Zhao Houyou groaned, looked at it again, and shook his head for a long time: "It's just that Miss Meng doesn't have to risk her life." Although it is easier to act as a girl, the danger is too great, and it is not impossible to change. ”

"If you talk about hostages, I can go too!" Zhu Feng finally took advantage of the time to shout: "I said that I am the general's deputy general, but the general's right-hand man, so Wei Ye ......is the same."

My hand was clenched tighter, and there was a hint of pain, and I was sobering up from the pain: "You care for Futan, Futan is grateful, but you don't need to persuade anymore." The generals present could indeed go to Wei Ye to explain their importance, but Wei Ye might not necessarily believe it. And the matter of Princess Pingzhou came out of Guisang, and Wei Ye always paid attention to the movements of the national capital, so he couldn't help but believe it. And in the end, women are weaker than men, and Wei Ye will be even more slack. ”

Knowing that what I said was reasonable, everyone was silent, and they all looked at Huan Ke silently. His face was grim, and he held my hand with unwavering strength. Worry and hesitation, anxiety and indecision, all emotions are in this hand. I sighed silently, clenched my fingers with all my strength, and urged wordlessly, but also understood and comforted. After a long time, Huan Ke raised his head, not looking at anyone, and his voice was flat:

"Tomorrow, Lord Zhao will take the three brothers to Dingshan."

“…… Walk with sandalwood. ”

At half an o'clock the next day, Zhao Houyou, Zhao Houyou, Guangqi, Huaiyan, and Delu began to prepare, and after the confirmation was completed, they were ready to set off. Huan Ke was afraid that I would be cold, so he only asked me to wear more thick shirts, and he was stable for a while, but when he was about to set off, he stepped forward again, and covered his lips and smiled lightly regardless of others, and tightened his cloak for me. He hesitated softly when tying the knot: "Actually, according to what Zhufeng and others said, choose a bold and careful person from the army to go with Lord Zhao, just saying that he is a deputy general, and the effect is not bad." Gradually, he simply stopped what he was doing: "Don't go." ”

I've never seen him so childish, and I was about to look angry, but I couldn't help laughing: "The dignified King of Pingzhou, you can't change your order overnight." When he stopped arguing, I whispered, "I know why you're worried." It's just that not only Lord Zhao has martial arts, but Guangqi and they were originally going to go into battle to kill the enemy, and they were also sent by you to help. You should be more confident than I am in what the three of them are. The success of this trip is almost certain, you just have to relax and fight. Leaned in and whispered to him: "You beat Wei Ye outside Dingshan City, and when the time comes, I will play the piano for you alone, okay?" ”

"This is the so-called husband and wife singing, do you get twice the result with half the effort?" Huan Ke was more relaxed, I was slightly embarrassed, raised my hand to hit him, and remembered that there were Zhao Houyou and others behind me, so I had to stop it. Zhao Houyou saw that we were no longer speech, and approached and smiled: "The prince is worried about what the officials understand. Xia Guan assured the prince that even if he risked his life, he would protect Miss Meng. "I'm always just a "quasi-princess", and Zhao Houyou also knows how to call it appropriately. "But in order to prevent accidents, please also pay attention to the information of Dingshan from time to time."

"It's really hard to ask Lord Zhao to take risks." Huan Ke was serious, I nodded at him slightly, and I was about to move and was pulled again. Out of nowhere, he found a hat and put it on for me before soothing a smile. I shook my head helplessly, said no more, turned around and set off.

It's no wonder Huan Ke is worried. This plan is indeed a desperate gamble, and although I say that I will succeed, in fact, I have no confirmation in my heart. On the way, Guangqi and others worried that I was nervous, and kept telling jokes to make me happy, but I never thought that if one of the people present was uneasy, the atmosphere would not be so light.

Soon at the foot of Dingshan Castle, the silk handkerchief that was tightly tied under the hemp rope between my wrists was withdrawn, and I gestured slightly in Huaiyan's apologetic gaze, and smiled lightly to resist the sudden increase in the strength of the knot. The city gate was opened in a short time, and we unloaded our weapons and pushed and shoved, and we didn't see Wei Ye until we had a stick of incense. Listening to the people on the side whispering to identify each person, Wei Ye raised his eyebrows, paced slowly in front of me, stretched out his hand and lifted his hat, I raised my head and glanced to the side for him to examine.

"This is the princess of Pingzhou, Emperor Lianghong Lingyue?"

I panicked slightly, Zhao Houyou didn't know this latter identity. After thousands of calculations, I completely ignored what name I used to become the quasi-princess of Pingzhou Palace.

Zhao Houyou did a good job of covering up the accident, but still responded in time: "Yes...... Emperor Lingyue came with the army, and the king of Pingzhou also took care of her. ”

"The king of Pingzhou is preparing for a rainy day, and he is ready to stay for himself as soon as possible." Ridiculed and sarcastic, Wei Ye's eyes were sharp: "Wei Ye knows that Lord Zhao is fierce and strong, and he is definitely not a person who bows his eyebrows and bends his waist, how can he betray Hu Ru and the king of Pingzhou today, and come to surrender to Wei Ye?" With a deep voice, Wei Ye threatened: "Isn't there some kind of magic trick that is interlocking?" ”

My face was the same, Zhao Houyou was also calm, and he just brought a little remorse: "Zhao knew that Xingzhou was unable to compete with Dingshan, but he just hoped that the arrival of Pingzhou Wang's reinforcements would last for a while longer." Unexpectedly, the army led by the king of Pingzhou was only 5,000. If you want to come to Guisang Chaotang to know the situation in Xingzhou, you want to give up. Moreover, yesterday, the people in Xingzhou City were hungry and ate ginkgo by mistake, resulting in a large number of poisoning. Zhao really couldn't bear to see Li Min suffer. Even if we cannot protect their safety, we should still do our best to protect the lives of the people. Yes, Zhao is willing to cooperate with the general and include Xingzhou in the general's pocket. I only implore the general not to hurt the people of Xingzhou. ”

"Lord Zhao's words reminded me that it was the princess of Pingzhou who played the music on the city tower last night?" Ignoring what Zhao Houyou said, Wei Ye turned his hand in front of me, and said sarcastically: ""Haiqing takes the swan", the morale should be high. How, half the work is counterproductive? ”

"What does morale have to do with you?" I glanced at him coldly, and said slightly angrily: "No matter what, the prince will definitely lead his troops to resist until the last moment, although he is defeated, he is still glorious." Turning his head to glare at Zhao Houyou, he gritted his teeth: "I thought you were a hero, but I didn't expect that you were not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also brainless!" Tou Cheng Wei Ye is a sheep into the mouth of the tiger, self-cut off the way of life, you are just to protect your own glory and wealth, but also cowardly say that it is for the common people of Xingzhou! Zhao Houyou, you are extremely shameless! ”

Clapping his hands, Wei Ye watched the play with great interest, and put his hands in his arms: "If she is really a heroine, her knowledge and courage are better than those of men." Raising his eyes and glancing at the sky casually, Wei Ye twisted his neck: "The hour is not early, and the five of you have come to Dingshan, and they are the guests on my Wei Ye's seat." Today, I will break Xingzhou, and I will celebrate with five people in the evening! Someone—"

With a wave of his hand, a man in uniform stepped forward, and his instrument was extraordinary. "Place Lord Zhao and Princess Pingzhou in a good place. Joyama is safe, and the brothers who come with him don't have to hide their swords in their sleeves. As for those gold, silver and jewelry, "Glancing at the wooden box we brought, Wei Ye didn't hide his disdain, "Lord Zhao should keep it for himself." Such a number...... It was Wei Ye's congratulatory gift to several people. ”

I lowered my eyelids, and I saw Zhao Houyou's hands clenched into fists, trying his best to stabilize his voice, listening carefully, and even with a hint of gratitude in his calmness: "Thank you, General." The general was really polite. ”

Noncommittal, Wei Ye shrugged his shoulders and turned his back. The man in military uniform, still silent, turned around and walked forward, leading the way first, and leaving as soon as he led us to the corner wing of Wei Ye's mansion. When everyone else in the house dispersed, Zhao Houyou hurriedly untied the hemp rope for me: "Miss Meng has been wronged." After another pause, he tentatively called: "Lingyue Emperor Ji ......"

"It's because Fu Tan didn't think it through, so it was all up to Lord Zhao to make a sound." However, after changing my name and surname to Meng Futan for a few days, I really forgot my former identity. Huan Ke said that when he and I made a private agreement for life, Wei Ye was already ready to move in Dingshan, and Zhao Houyou was frightened day and night since then, defending Wei Ye, where would he have the leisure to pay attention to the anecdote of the king of Pingzhou; The soldiers in the barracks all said that I was Meng Futan, and I only used this name when I introduced me to Zhao Houyou. At this moment, Wei Ye suddenly let out a "Liang Hongling Moon Emperor", which was completely unexpected for Zhao Houyou. How he will react, I dare not speculate at this time: "Fu Tan did not mean to hide it. It's just that this matter is tortuous and difficult to explain, and I hope that Lord Zhao will forgive me. ”

"Emperor Lingyue...... When Miss Meng said this, she was tormented by the officials. Zhao Houyou didn't reply immediately, replied in a moment, explained his attitude between the title changes, I smiled gratefully, and stroked the sore wrist: "Dare to ask Lord Zhao, the one who sent us here should be ......"

"It's Dong Run. I almost didn't recognize him. Zhao Houyou shook his head and sighed: "With such an appearance, where is the high-spirited General Huya." ”

Dong Yan's expression was obviously tired, and there was a bit of frustration in his eyes, and it was difficult to say whether he could help him. In order to prevent Wei Ye from being suspicious, Zhao Houyou and I could only wait. Derate, Guangqi, and Huaiyan were brought into three rooms respectively, and the information was not allowed to be transmitted, and as time passed, they did gradually panic.

I don't know how long Zhao Houyou paced restlessly, and finally there was a knock on the door. Glancing at him, I ducked behind the screen and listened intently to the movement outside.

"Lord Zhao is here? Dong Yan came to visit. ”

Zhao Houyou opened the door and put in Dong Run, Dong Yan ordered the rest of the people to retreat, and the atmosphere suddenly froze after the two exchanged a few polite words. The time has come. We were about to walk out, but Dong Yan suddenly spoke: "Brother Zhao's true intentions for this trip, although Dong Yan can't guess it completely, he also consciously knows most of it. To tell you the truth, when Dong Yan went to explain to General Wei Ye that he was coming to visit Brother Zhao, General Wei Ye gave me something. ”

He stretched out his hand into his arms, I clutched my clothes, and slowly walked out from behind the screen with Dong Yan's words: "Princess Pingzhou doesn't have to avoid suspicion." After all, sooner or later, why not have a good time. ”

The sharp knife had already reached Zhao Houyou's neck.
