Chapter 449: News Uproar
The Ghost Face Legion Commander Big Tent, the atmosphere is very tense.
Princess Luo Yue frowned, and walked around the tent from time to time, sighing.
Ying Qi was cautious, since she could remember, she had never seen her aunt so worried, even in the face of millions of Han soldiers in the past, she would talk and laugh with her uncle, and the two of them could easily resolve the crisis with a little trick.
She finally couldn't help it and asked, "Auntie, what secret does Wang Weichao have in his hands, and he will really put his uncle to death?"
Princess Luo Yue sighed and said, "Now that it's over, I don't need to hide it from you." All this time, you didn't know the real name of the colt, and I tell you now, his name is Ye Feng. ”
"Ye Feng ......" Ying Qi repeated, and then his eyes widened: "He is Ye Feng? Isn't Ye Yunyang's father also called this name, are they?"
The princess nodded: "That's right, the horse is Ye Yunyang's father! Fourteen years ago, he was framed by his colleagues, causing the defeat and falling off the cliff, and a few months later I also fell from the same place, it was he who saved me, originally we thought that we would live at the bottom of the cliff for the rest of our lives, but we didn't expect to have a chance to escape later." ”
She paused, and said while recalling: "At that time, we already had the reality of husband and wife, and when he learned that I was the princess of Daqin, he had to remain incognito, and he didn't dare to show his true face, for fear of revealing his identity." In view of what the Han people did to him, he was disappointed in the Han army, and then began to help me take care of the affairs of the army, and finally single-handedly created the Ghost Face Army. ”
Ying Qi was surprised, thinking back to what her uncle had done before, and all the doubts in her heart were solved.
When she was in Nanshan, she wondered why everything her uncle did seemed to be related to Ye Yunyang, and why her aunt would directly decide to send him back to Nanshan City when she saw the seriously injured Ye Yunyang, instead of being taken back to Daqin as a prisoner.
and the original negotiations, and the later Nanban War, the ghost-faced horse secretly did so many things, all for the sake of his son.
In addition, she also thought of what Ye Yunyang did in Rong Di, more than 200,000 Bai Di's army did not participate in the war from beginning to end, including those remnants of the defeated soldiers who defected to Bai Di later.
If it weren't for the persistence of the Bai Di people, the Ghost Face Legion would not have been able to win the war so smoothly.
These two people really deserve to be father and son, and their styles of doing things are so similar.
However, once these things were known to Emperor Qin, what would he think?
Wang Weichao has been a prisoner for so long, and he must hate the ghost-faced colt to the core, and he will add fuel and vinegar to say something unfavorable to the pony.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but get nervous: "Auntie, my uncle's situation is very dangerous!"
Princess Luo Yue smiled bitterly: "This is also what I am most worried about, Wang Weichao is the person sent by the emperor to monitor us, he will have a way to meet the emperor directly, an hour and a half is enough for him to finish all his words." ”
"So what do we do?" asked Yingqi again.
"What can be done, we can only wait. She said very uncertainly: "I hope that the person sent later can stop the horse in time, as long as he can return here, the emperor will be helpless." ”
She has already made plans, it's a big deal to support the army and respect herself, with more than one million elite troops in her hands, the emperor will not dare to act rashly.
Buzzing......
The sound of flying wings sounded outside, and the aunt and nephew rushed out at the same time.
A few minutes later, the flying wings landed, and there was no ghost-faced pony on it, and the hearts of the two of them were half cold.
Lu Zishuo jumped down from above, with a look of guilt on his face, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Princess, the last general is incompetent, and he is still one step too late." ”
The princess took a deep breath and asked, "What is the situation now?"
Lu Zishuo replied: "The last general hurried slowly, and when he arrived in the capital, Lord Pony had already been controlled by the Imperial Forest Army sent by the emperor, and those people were already waiting at the landing site before his flying wings landed. Because of the emperor's will, Lord Pony and his entourage did not resist, and after being sealed by the warriors of the Yaokong Realm, they were directly imprisoned in the heavenly prison!"
"What!" Princess Luo Yue almost fainted on the spot when she heard the news, but fortunately, Ying Qi helped her in time.
The most feared thing still happened, the emperor really didn't show mercy, and he didn't even bother to do the interrogation, so he directly ordered the arrest of people.
Lu Zishuo raised his head and said angrily: "If you hadn't come back in a hurry to report the news, the last general would have already gathered people and entered the prison." ”
"It's good that you didn't do it, otherwise even you would have to pay for it!" Ying Qi said sharply: "What kind of place is the Heavenly Prison, after my uncle is imprisoned, the emperor will definitely strengthen the guard specifications there, and there are at least four or more Yaokong Realm masters in charge, just with you and the rabble that have been temporarily gathered, what can it do?"
Lu Zishuo said unconvinced: "Then watch the horse suffer in the prison? Our emperor is really mediocre enough, we have won the battle of Rongdi with great difficulty, and the master of the horse goes back to report on his work, even if he doesn't give a reward, it is too much to arrest people for no reason." ”
Princess Luo Yue wanted to say that it wasn't for no reason, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed again.
Lu Zishuo continued: "Princess, we have to do something to rescue Lord Pony. ”
"Lu Zishuo, beat the drum and gather the generals!" Princess Luo Yue said in a deep voice: "The three armies are ready to be pulled, if the emperor dares to do something unfavorable to the horses, this princess will definitely lead the army to attack the capital!"
Lu Zishuo jumped up from the ground, and said enthusiastically: "Yes, you should do this, who is afraid of whom!"
Princess Luo Yue turned around and walked towards the big tent, Ying Qi frowned, and followed.
Walking into the big tent, the princess first ordered: "Qiqi, you immediately contact the No. 6 messenger in Dahan, and ask him to inform Ye Yunyang to make plans early, that person has been in charge of the communication between him and the colt, and he should be able to gain the trust of the other party." ”
"Obey!" Ying Qi clenched his fists, but immediately said: "Auntie, do you really want to order the army to march?" Ying Qi felt that this was not a good way, not only could not save his uncle, but would make the emperor suspect that the Ghost Face Legion was committing rebellion, and then plant a rebellion charge for his uncle. ”
There is no shortage of flattery and steerers in the court, and when the time comes, they will clamor for the rebellion of the Ghost-faced Legion, and even if the emperor wants to show mercy to his subordinates, he must not kill the Ghost-faced Horse to set an example.
The princess frowned: "What then?"
"The army continues to be stationed here, standing still. Ying Qi explained: "First of all, it can dispel the emperor's suspicion of the Ghost Face Legion, and secondly, he makes a self-respecting appearance, but he doesn't dare to do anything to his uncle." ”
The princess thought for a while, nodded and said: "Your words are reasonable, it is indeed better to stand still than to march out of the army, we have all the food and grass, at least for more than four months." During this time, I will send people to the several state capitals at the border to urge food, we have an army of millions, and they dare not refuse to give it. ”
......
The carriage traveled for a day and a night, and the next morning, Ye Yunyang took Dongfang Yixue and Chen Shilai to ride horses instead and continued to walk east.
The emperor came down from the morning court and came to the imperial study, stretched his waist first, and saw a letter with red feathers on the dragon bookcase.
Reaching out and picking it up, the lower right corner of the envelope has the word "thirteen" in ancient seal script.
"When did the letter arrive?" he asked.
The chief eunuch replied, "About an hour ago, because His Majesty was still in the early dynasty, the servants did not dare to disturb it, so they were placed here." ”
The emperor nodded, of course this kind of confidential matter could not be brought to the court, he opened the envelope and unfolded the letterhead, and just glanced at it and exclaimed: "Quick, call the prince over, immediately!"
An hour and a half later, the crown prince Liu Rong personally led three hundred soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army to the gate of the holy temple.
Huo Hong personally went out to greet him, and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, we will miss the welcome, forgive the sins!"
"The High Priest needs not be polite. The prince turned over and dismounted, and asked straight to the point: "Where is Ye Yunyang?"
Huo Hong was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked Qu Pingyuan: "Where is the little junior brother?"
Qu Pingyuan shook his head: "I don't know, it seems that I didn't see him yesterday!"
The crown prince frowned: "Does anyone know the whereabouts of Wu Yinghou?"
Someone replied: "Uncle Xiao went out in a carriage early yesterday morning, as for when he will come back, I don't know, I may be at the residence now." ”
The prince waved his hand: "Take people!"
The soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army rushed into the gate and went straight to Ye Yunyang's residence.
Huo Hong was confused: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what happened? Is it that the surname Li has retracted his confession, you and Your Majesty can't believe his nonsense, what kind of person Yun Yang is, you know best." ”
The prince said in a deep voice: "This matter has nothing to do with Li Fuchen, everyone, please be calm and don't be impatient, and I will explain to you after this prince takes down Ye Yunyang." ”
A few minutes later, the captain of the Imperial Forest Military Academy ran over and said, "Your Highness Qiqi, you didn't find Wu Yinghou in the courtyard, the room is empty. ”
"What?" the prince was anxious and walked inside.
Huo Hong and the others also followed.
The small courtyard was indeed empty, and the room was as orderly as usual, the prince frowned, and another lieutenant ran in from outside, clasped his fists and said: "Your Highness, I have been to the Fenglin faction in my humble position, Wu Yinghou is not there, and the Heavenly Kingdom Master said that he has not been there for several days." ”
Huo Hong hugged his fists and said, "Your Highness, what's going on?"
The prince took a deep breath and said, "According to reliable information, Ye Yunyang is the son of the ghost-faced horse. ”
"What?" the crowd was amazed.
Huo Hong shook his head: "How is it possible, his father Ye Feng died more than ten years ago, and last year, the junior brother had a lot of trouble with the people in the military department, isn't it just to wash away the grievances of his dead father, how can he have anything to do with the ghost-faced horse?"
The crown prince Zhengse said: "This palace also wants to say that this is fake, but it is an out-and-out fact! I might as well tell you, this matter was found out by the Qin people, and it is no longer a secret in Great Qin at this moment, Emperor Qin personally ordered the arrest of the ghost-faced concubine, and put him in the prison, he is Yun Yang's father Ye Feng." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and Qu Pingyuan said: "Even if the ghost-faced concubine is Ye Feng, why do you want to arrest the little junior brother? He is loyal to the big man, and he doesn't say anything to His Majesty and you, and he has also made great military exploits, just because he has a relationship with the ghost-faced concubine, does he have to be involved?"
The prince smiled bitterly: "It's not a secret, this palace also told my father about it, but my father said that when Yun Yang was an envoy to Rong Di, it was very likely that he secretly helped the ghost-faced horse, and this matter must be investigated." ”
At this time, Qin Wei pointed to the upper left corner of the bookshelf and said, "Look, everyone, there seems to be a letter there." ”
