"But now Ling Feng has the support of his father and our royal powerhouse, and it is almost impossible for us to kill him now!" the second prince said helplessly, "And my father killed everyone in the Liu family, and he also set an example for us to warn us!

"If you don't have a chance now, it doesn't mean that you won't have a chance in the future!" the eldest prince gritted his teeth with hatred, "As far as I know, the reason why my father favored him so much was because I hoped that he would be able to fight the enemy in the Dali Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty attacking us!

The eldest prince knew that if Ling Feng existed, then it would be impossible for him to fight against the third prince! So if he wanted to ascend to the throne, he had to remove Ling Feng's stumbling block.

"Well, now that the Great Li Dynasty in the west and the Great Chu Dynasty in the south are ready to move on us, I believe that it won't be long before a big war breaks out, and when the time comes, our chance to get rid of Ling Feng will come!" A hint of fierceness flashed in the eyes of the two at the same time, and they reached a consensus.

......

"Da~Da~Da~"

At the same time that the city was full of wind and rain in Longyuan City, a powerful team was galloping on the official road, and the yellow dust suddenly flew everywhere it passed.

At the front of the line was an old man in black heavy armor, with a majestic face and piercing eyes.

This old man is the Quartet General Qingzhan sent by Xue Hongze to Southern Xinjiang to replace Liu Tiannan's position as General Nan of Zhennan!

Behind Qing Zhan, followed by a group of innate martial artists wearing silver armor and extraordinary might, the momentum on each person's body was around the innate fourfold, congenital five, and even congenital six, and they were the masters specially selected by Xue Hongze from the court for Qing Zhan's dispatch.

"Yo~Yo~"

Suddenly, a loud sound pierced the sky, coming from the sky, only to see a gray-haired sharp-beaked eagle with a length of more than a meter after spreading its wings, as fast as a meteor, and flew above the heads of Qing Zhan and the others in the blink of an eye.

"Huh?" Qing Zhan looked up and found the sharp-beaked eagle that was flying fast, and his eyes couldn't help but light up, "It's the royal family's teleportation Sky Eagle!"

Immediately, Qingzhan whistled, and the loud voice reached the sky, and at the same time, Le Ma stopped suddenly.

The flying Sky Eagle heard the signal and rushed down directly, its wings swept through a gust of wind, fluttered its wings, and landed firmly on Qing Zhan's shoulder.

"Yo~Yo~"

The Sky Eagle shouted twice at Qing Zhan. Qing Zhan understood, and directly put his hand into the eagle's beak in the sky, and took out a letter from its throat with an extremely tightly sealed letter.

The messages conveyed by the royal family with the Sky Eagle are extremely important, and naturally they are not tied to their legs like ordinary carrier pigeons, but are hidden on the side of the Sky Eagle's roar with special materials. In this way, even if someone accidentally got the Sky Eagle, they would never have imagined that the secret letter would be in its throat.

Opening the seal, Qing Zhan pulled out a slender roll of paper from it, and then opened the paper ball and began to carefully read the contents of the secret letter.

His eyes swept over the secret letter, and the more Qing Zhan looked at it, the more shocked he became, and by the time he finished reading, a pair of old eyes were already round.

"Old general, what did you say in the secret letter?" Seeing the shocked look on Qing Zhan's face, more than a dozen masters who followed Qing Zhan couldn't help but come over curiously.

"See for yourselves!" Qing Zhan stretched out his hand and handed the paper ball to the hand of one of the young generals closest to him. The latter took the paper ball, lowered his head and swept it, his face couldn't help but change greatly, and he exclaimed: "There may be drastic changes in southern Xinjiang!"

Hearing the words of the young general, the rest of the people also had their hearts skipping a beat, and they quickly swept the contents of the secret letter one after another, and their faces couldn't help but show a solemn look.

"We are still about halfway from southern Xinjiang, and it seems that we have to travel all night!" Qing Zhan ordered everyone behind him, raised his horse whip, and pulled the horse's buttocks fiercely, the horse was in pain, and its hooves were like flying, carrying Qing Zhan to rush south. The rest of the crowd also urged their horses one after another, and followed closely behind Qing Zhan. And the Sky Eagle that reported the news also flapped its wings above Qing Zhan and the others, and went south with them.

......

Two days later, late at night.

Just when Qing Zhan and the others were on their way to the Zhennan Army Camp at night, except for some soldiers who were responsible for patrolling and keeping vigil in the Zhennan Army Barracks, all the soldiers had already fallen asleep, and from time to time they could hear a burst of snoring and occasional whispering.

At this time, in an inconspicuous tent in the barracks, more than a dozen soldiers did not sleep, but gathered around and whispered something.

"It's been five days, and the sixth day is about to pass, but the patriarch hasn't come back yet, should we do what the patriarch told us?" said a lean man.

"Why don't we wait a little longer, maybe the patriarch has something to delay the trip. Think about it, if we do that, and the patriarch comes back, it will be bad!" whispered a fat man with a round face.

"In my opinion, we can't wait any longer! The patriarch told him when he left, if they didn't come back in five days or so, there must have been an accident, and we must do as we say. Now we can't hesitate!" said a burly man.

"Yes, if the patriarch has an accident, how can we work for the enemy again!" nodded the lean man who spoke earlier.

"Well, indeed, since the patriarch gave the order. Then we'll do what we do!" A middle-aged man who looked like he should be the leader of this group clapped his hands and instructed everyone, "Everyone put on armor, pretend to be a patrol team, and prepare for action!"

"Okay!" everyone nodded, put on their armor, picked up their respective weapons, pretended to be a night patrol team, quietly mixed out of the barracks, and rushed to the camp tent on the side of the Great Chu Dynasty.

......

At the same time, in the handsome camp of the army of the Great Chu Dynasty, a middle-aged man who was not tall, but very sturdy, was listening to the news reported by his subordinates.

This middle-aged man is the commander of the 600,000-strong Northern Expedition of the Great Chu Dynasty, the innate six-fold warrior Peng Lei! His task is to wait for the opportunity, seize the opportunity, and defeat the Zhennan army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop. Then at the same time, cooperate with the Dali Dynasty in the west of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to attack together and eliminate the Eastern Jin Dynasty!

And now there is a seemingly opportunity but a suspicious trap in front of him, waiting for him to choose.

The spies they were responsible for planting in the Eastern Jin Dynasty army came with the news, saying that they had not seen the commander of the Eastern Jin Dynasty army for five consecutive days, and now the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty army camp was panicked, all kinds of rumors were spreading, and the army was scattered, and now was the best time to attack them!

"What do you think of this news?" Peng Lei asked, glancing at the generals under him.

"This is obviously a trap for the enemy to tempt us, if we want to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty army now, we will definitely fall into the enemy's ambush!" a middle-aged general in silver armor immediately spoke.

"I think this is a rare opportunity!" said the white-haired veteran general "Yang Ze", "There is no need for the enemy to tempt us by creating such a simple and straightforward arrangement that people can see through at a glance. So I think there is indeed no boss in the Eastern Jin Dynasty army now!"

"There is a cloud in the art of war, 'if it is false, it is real, and if it is real, it is false,' this is a false impression deliberately made by the enemy, and we must not be fooled!" Another young general spoke out against the words of the veteran general Yang Ze.

Yang Ze shook his head with a smile and said, "The book of war is dead, but people are alive." We must not just talk about it on the march, let the dead limit the living! I'm sure this is an opportunity for us!"

Peng Lei also spoke slowly and expressed his opinion: "I agree with General Yang's opinion, I also think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

At this time-

"Newspaper—" A voice came from outside the door.

"What's the matter?" Peng Lei frowned, feeling a little unhappy. He had already instructed them not to disturb their deliberations if there was nothing particularly important.

"Marshal, there are soldiers from the Eastern Jin Dynasty who have come to surrender, and they say that they have something important to report to you!" replied the voice outside the door.

"Well, come to surrender troops at this time?" Peng Lei raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and shouted, "Bring them in!"

"Yes!" the voice outside the door answered. A moment later, more than a dozen soldiers wearing the armor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were brought in and knelt down to worship Peng Lei.

"Why do you want to surrender to my Great Chu Dynasty?" Peng Lei sat on the handsome seat, his eyes were like lightning, and he snorted coldly at the dozen or so soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty below.

The oldest middle-aged soldier leaned over and reported: "Marshal, we are the clansmen of Liu Tiannan, the general of Zhennan of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Liu Cheng, the young master of our Liu family, was killed by a young man named Ling Feng, but the saint of the Eastern Jin Dynasty shielded the other party. In order to avenge the young master, our patriarch personally took his henchmen back to Longyuan City to kill Ling Feng. But the patriarch did not return as planned, and it was obvious that something had happened. Therefore, according to the patriarch's instructions, we came to surrender to Cheng and help your Great Chu Dynasty to kill back to Longyuan City and avenge the patriarch!"

Hearing the middle-aged soldier's report, Peng Lei's heart jumped, with a hint of surprise, but he still kept his face calm, slammed the table, and said coldly: "The lies you made up are too unlevel." It's just that because Liu Tiannan didn't come back on time, you came to surrender, it's too far-fetched! Do you think that the people of our Great Chu Dynasty are so easy to deceive!"

Peng Lei feigned anger, and more than a dozen soldiers below who surrendered to Cheng were so frightened that they hurriedly leaned to the ground, and the middle-aged soldiers who spoke before were bold and said, "Marshal, you don't know something. Before leaving, our patriarch emphasized that in five days, no matter whether he killed that Ling Feng or not, he would definitely return on time! If he didn't come back by then, there must have been an accident! And we have waited for six more days now, but the patriarch still hasn't returned!"

"Oh?" Peng Lei breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "There is no basis for my words, why should I believe you?"

"Marshal, look what this is!" The middle-aged soldier took out a map and some information from his arms and handed them to Peng Lei, "This is what our patriarch handed us before leaving, he said that if he had an accident, you would definitely be able to use these things!"

"Military deployment map, troop distribution map, grain and grass hoarding ......" Peng Lei looked at the precious information in front of him, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Haha, okay! This Liu Tiannan is really ruthless, almost all the old bottoms of the Zhennan army of the Eastern Jin Dynasty have told us! As long as we break through their army defense line, with our troops, we can directly attack the imperial city of the Eastern Jin Dynasty!"

"Since the opportunity has come, then we can't miss it!" Peng Lei clenched his fists excitedly and ordered, "The three armies immediately prepare to attack the Eastern Jin Dynasty army at night and kill him without leaving a piece of armor!"

"Yes!"

The generals below were all full of joy, and they were gearing up one by one, preparing for a big battle.
