Ming Chenyuan had no choice but to dress the body again, and called those people in again, and covered the coffin and placed the coffin for the body again. After everything was restored, the two of them came out of the tomb one after another, sealed the tomb door again, and reset the mechanism.

"I touched the body of His Royal Highness, I have to go to the Furnace Hall to burn incense and confess, you go to the Little Golden Hall to bathe first?" Ming Chenyuan asked Wei Nong's opinion, according to the ritual, it was also respect for the deceased, he proposed.

Wei's eyes were empty, and he nodded expressionlessly: "Okay." ”

Ming Chenyuan was a little worried about her: "The county lord ......"

However, before the words could be spoken, a soldier hurriedly ran to him and said loudly: "Report - there is a flying pigeon in the Youzhou camp to send a message to Cangyu City, and King Jiang ordered someone to deliver it to you quickly!" ”

Ming Chenyuan didn't bother to ask more questions at this time, and hurriedly took the small bamboo tube, opened the letter hidden in it, only glanced at it, and his face changed greatly: "Ning Guo raided the Youzhou camp and has officially declared war!" ”

Raid on the camp in Youzhou? Faster than she expected! Wei Nong immediately felt a burst of nervousness: "How about our casualties?" ”

"The number of people hasn't been counted yet." Ming Chenyuan clenched his hands: "It seems that there are a lot of casualties." ”

As soon as Wei Nong heard this, he hurriedly asked for a letter to read carefully, and the letter said that in early February, the Baning Army raided the Yan army camp in Youzhou, and the two sides had already started a war. The goal of the Ning army was obviously to recover Youzhou, but because the Yan army did not have time to take precautions, it was defeated for several days, and two cities had already been defeated.

This letter is urging Ming Chenyuan to speed up the journey, I don't want to know, it must be that the person who sent the letter and the reinforcements missed it on the way, and I heard that Chenyuan was in Cangyu City, so he sent the letter over. But when he arrived at Cangshan, King Jiang had no choice but to send someone to deliver the letter again. This back and forth was delayed for several days.

"Today is February 13th, five days have passed since the start of the war, and I don't know what the battle situation of the Yan army is." The slightly thick heart was suddenly pinched: "King Ning is really good at picking the time." ”

Ming Chenyuan's expression was gloomy: "I'm afraid it's not that he will pick the time, it's that we fell into his trap!" ”

Wei Nong was incredulous: "He can calculate so accurately? ”

"He must have known that you would flee to Youzhou, and deliberately bought medicinal materials from Jiang Guo openly, creating the illusion of transporting the coffin, just to lure you to Jiang Guo to check out His Highness's mausoleum, and then stop me!" Ming Chenyuan gritted his teeth and said, "That old thief is playing tricks with us!" ”

"Impossible, King Jiang said, King Ning asks him to buy medicinal materials every year, even if it is to set a trap, he can't calculate the timing of my escape, you must know that from Jiang Guo to Fengzhou, the road will take ten days at the earliest! It's twenty days to come and go. Wei Nong was calmer than Ming Chen: "Twenty days ago, I didn't run away at all!" ”

"The only possibility is that King Ning has eyeliner among the reinforcements, or has eyeliner next to King Jiang, he knows your whereabouts, and deliberately launched an offensive before the reinforcements arrive." Wei Nong comforted him and said: "Don't get into the horns, the most important thing now is to rush to Youzhou and turn the tide of the war!" ”

After a slight reminder, Ming Chenyuan suddenly woke up: "The county lord is right!" I've got to get over there! ”

"I'm with you!" Slightly thick is also a hot head.

This time, Chang Mingchen became calmer: "You have just escaped, you can't go to the net again, and besides, Your Highness is gone, and I can't guarantee that you can suppress everyone." The barracks are full of men, if something happens to you...... How can I be worthy of Your Highness! ”

How could Wei Nong not know the meaning of Ming Chenyuan, but she really can't rest assured now, she can't worry about the battle situation, and she can't rest assured about the Yan army camp!

"In this way, you go back to China to find the eldest princess, with the two of you making a move, Nie Xingyi shouldn't be able to make any trouble." Ming Chenyuan said solemnly: "If you go back, I will be able to go to the front line to deal with the Ning army with peace of mind, and now the situation in the country is safer than outside." ”

This is the best plan, and it is also the plan they originally discussed, Mingchen guarded the Youzhou camp from afar, and returned to Yan Country to contain Nie Xingyi. If it weren't for the fact that King Ning had a secret discussion in the middle, why would they be so passive!

"Okay, without further ado, let's go our separate ways!" He pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and advised: "In any case, Master Hou should put his life first, if you can't keep Youzhou, you will abandon it, just hold the south of Cangshan!" ”

"Don't worry, if the Ning army hits Cangshan, Jiang Guo will not sit idly by."

There are always people who say, "Who lives the same life without this world", but Yan Guo is only one person missing, and the sky has been turned upside down. In the past, when Nie Xingji was there, it was Yan Guo who took the initiative to attack, and Ming Chenyuan also had the ambition to sweep away Ning Guo and unify the world; Now that Nie Xingji has only been dead for half a year, the Yan army has changed from offensive to defensive, and even the meaning of Wei Nong's words reveals a strong worry, worried that King Ning will directly wave his army south after recovering Youzhou. The world is unpredictable.

The two had decided to go their separate ways, so they didn't ramble any more. Ming Chenyuan originally wanted to transfer five hundred cronies to protect Wei Nong's return to Yan Kingdom, but Wei Nong considered that his manpower was tight and it was inconvenient to act, so he only needed fifty people to accompany him. Before parting, they agreed on the code of their letters, so as not to repeat the mistakes of the past and be replied to by someone in handwriting.

*****

Wei Nong worked hard all the way around the clock, and it only took twenty days to rush back to Yanguo Jingzhou, she did not go back to Yanwang Palace, but first went to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to understand the situation. But she didn't expect that the eldest princess's mansion was as firmly surrounded as an iron bucket, guarded by layers of heavy troops, and it took her a lot of work to see the eldest princess Nie Zhiying. She didn't expect that all of Nie Xingyi's children would be here!

Nie Xingyi disregarded the honor and disgrace of the Yan royal family, and even more disregarded the people of Yan Kingdom, and insisted on surrendering to Ning. For the sake of the honor of the former king, I will not expose his lowly identity, but I can't tolerate his misdeeds! The eldest princess's eyes narrowed, and she smiled slowly: "After thinking about it, it is most reliable to get a few of his children over, at least let him not act rashly for the time being." ”

Wei Min looked at the smile that seemed to be good and evil, and sighed in his heart. For so many years, she almost forgot the legend in the palace of King Yan - how Gaozong Nie Yang became the crown prince and how he sat on the throne. Nie Zhiying, the eldest princess of Pingcheng, was already the most powerful, iron-blooded, and superb woman in the Yan royal family thirty years ago, but later because she gave birth to a child, her edge was reined in and gradually faded out. Later, it was a encounter and a devastation. Now, she is finally back in the mountains!

Seeing that the eldest princess was so calm, her slightly thick heart immediately settled down, as if the lonely traveler finally had a companion and dependence. She took a sip of tea and eased her mood before asking, "What is Nie Xingyi doing now?" ”

"He sent people to save his children many times, and then I got annoyed and gave his children chronic poison before he was at ease." The eldest princess showed a little coldness.

Wei Nong was taken aback: "How many children did you poison?" This ......"

"How?" The eldest princess glanced at her: "Are you soft-hearted?" How can you be soft-hearted when you become a big thing? Has Nie Xingyi ever been soft on you? Besides, as long as you take the antidote on time, you can't poison people. ”

Wei Nong did not approve of poisoning, especially for children, but now, she really couldn't think of a better way, so she could only sigh: "Is he still in the palace?" Can I meet him? ”

"It's better not to see him," the eldest princess showed a disgusted expression, "He is like a madman now, he falls when he sees things, he hits people when he sees them, and no one can get close to him except Wei Lianpian." ”

As a father, Nie Xingyi was all held hostage by his children and poisoned, so he would naturally be irritable.

"I think that's good, until the military situation is uncertain, let's maintain it for the time being!" The eldest princess snorted coldly: "If he dares to act rashly again, I will kill his whole family!" Wild mongrels have enjoyed the blessings of so many years, and they are not satisfied! It's not a loss to Helian Biyue's slut's son! ”

How much the eldest princess hates Nie Xingyi, you can hear it just by listening to these words. Wei Deng guessed that the reason why she was able to do something to Nie Xingyi's children was probably because her resentment towards Jie Hou and Helian Biyue had not yet been dissipated, so it was transferred to Nie Xingyi and his children.

Wei Nong hesitated, but still told the truth: "I went to King Ning's palace, I didn't see the Marquis, King Ning protected him very well, he was afraid that he would ......"

"You don't have to say any more!" The eldest princess understood: "He only has his mongrel son in his heart now, and he only thinks about how to make a comeback!" That's fine, my sons and daughters have all changed their surnames to Nie, and they have nothing to do with him! He, a traitor, is not worthy to be my husband, let alone the father of my children! ”

Defining the relationship between Hou and the eldest princess, Wei Nong was not easy to put her beak, she just faintly felt worried: "Eldest princess, you still detoxified a few children, I'm worried about ......"

"Worried about what?"

Wei Nong actually didn't want to affect Nie Xingyi's children, not to mention that there was also Wei Lianpian's son among them. The eldest princess's move, Ming Chenyuan didn't mention it at all, it can be seen that she herself knew that Ming Chenyuan would not agree, so she would make her own decisions after Ming Chenyuan led the army away. Moreover, Ming Chenyuan's children have also been living in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and the children are all older, and they are governors in their hearts, in case Nie Xingyi's children are resentful and attack Ming Chenyuan's children......

The more Wei Nong thought about it, the more she felt that there would be endless troubles, and it was understandable that she had a few children under house arrest, but poisoning was really damaging to Yin morality, she wanted to say good things for Nie Xingyi's children, but she was afraid that it would backfire, and it would anger the eldest princess even more.

So, she had to change her words and said euphemistically: "I'm worried that your move will annoy Nie Xingyi, in case he does something crazy, wouldn't it be bad for you?" ”

"Others are under house arrest in Yanwang Palace, what else can they do to me? I don't go out in this princess's mansion every day, and he doesn't dare to kill him when he looks at his children. "The eldest princess is confident.

Wei Nong understood, the eldest princess took it for granted that as long as she hijacked Nie Xingyi's child, the two would be able to balance their forces, and the eldest princess's mansion would be able to form a confrontation with the Yan Palace. Her idea can indeed temporarily alleviate the crisis, but it will treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, if it goes on like this for a long time, the contradictions will accumulate deeper and deeper, and one side will always break the balance first.

And obviously, Nie Xingyi was held hostage by his children, he must have tried to fight back first! Then the eldest princess will be in danger!
