Cheng Yuan said: "Just wait for Chen Heng to be suspicious of King Ning after seeing that letter, otherwise only the prince can come in person." ”

Dao Yan flicked the oil lamp, sat at the table and watched quietly, "Will Chen Heng be suspicious of King Ning?" If King Ning hands us over at that time, it will be a big trouble. ”

In the anonymous letter to Chen Heng, Cheng Yuan said that he was a soldier of King Ning's mansion, exposed the collusion between King Ning and King Yan, and also handed over the token given to him by Zhu Di to give him a fight.

If Chen Heng saw the secret letter and led his troops to put Ning Wangfu under house arrest, Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, would be between the imperial court and the Yan army, and his vacillating attitude would turn into defection to Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

Regarding what Dao Yan said, Cheng Yuan had already analyzed Zhu Quan, King Ning, so he said firmly: "Master, please rest assured, King Ning will not hand it over."

As soon as he hands us over, then he will be able to pass the Yan army, and the court will be more sure of cutting Tibet at that time. Obviously, King Ning didn't want to be cut, and he didn't want to be tied to the court.

Second, he has been wavering, just because he has bet on His Royal Highness King Yan and the imperial court, and handed us over, isn't it to offend King Yan, Zhu Quan's character is hesitant, and he has a lot of concerns, so he will not hand it over. ”

Pei Binh Province.

In the spacious hall, Zhu Gaochi sat in the middle, looking at Princess Yan Xu, Qiu Fu, and Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, and unfolded Zhu Di's letter: "My father asked us to stick to Beiping City, Mr. Cheng and the master have not returned in Daning for a long time, and he wants to go to Daning first, so during this time, we can only be stationed." ”

Xu, who was wearing a military uniform, said: "Chi'er, take the bag that Cheng Yuan left for you to defend the city, and open the first one." ”

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "Yes, concubine." ”

Zhu Di sent people from Li Jinglong's army to rely on the woman who accompanied the army to find out Li Jinglong's deployment of troops. told Zhu Gaochi.

There were five defeats in the art of war, but Li Jinglong occupied them all, and the imperial army was undoubtedly defeated. The soldiers did not adapt to the weather, ice and snow in Beiping, lacked food and grass, regardless of the danger and ease, went deep to seek profits, were eager to win, and were rigid for their own use.

And the wisdom and faith are insufficient, the benevolence and courage are all rabble, and they are not united.

Zhu Di deliberately lured the southern army to go deeper, and relied on the strategy left by Cheng Yuan, with the help of Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, and Qiu Fu to guard Beiping together.

With Zhu Di's words, Zhu Gaochi was naturally very relieved, and took the bag and opened it.

Zhu Bai said: "Big nephew, what kind of trick is left in the bag to defend the city?" ”

"My father and Mr. Cheng said that if Li Jinglong comes to fight, as long as he sticks to it, he must not fight, and he said that all the soldiers of Lugou Bridge will be withdrawn."

"Evacuate the soldiers of the Lugou Bridge? What does this mean, Lord Wang? Qiu Fu was puzzled.

"Could it be that Mr. Cheng and they have other arrangements? Then just listen. Zhu Gaochi respectfully handed the letter to Xu: "Mother, look." ”

"Pour cold water on the walls every day until the walls are all frozen?" Princess Yan Xu read the content of Cheng Yuan's letter and was puzzled, but still decided: "Chi'er, in a few days, Beiping will be the time of winter, so let's splash water every day." ”

"Yes, the child listens to the mother." Zhu Gaochi nodded, and decided after consulting with Qiu Fu and Zhu Bai.

"Yu Shizi, since this is the case, we will be prepared and pour water on the city wall to resist the attack of the southern army."

Ningwangfu.

Zhu Quan looked at the Mongolian guards who came over from Tainingwei, and the side concubines Dana'er and Da Yu'er, put the wine and food on the table and said, "Raise your glass, this king will not get drunk tonight." ”

As soon as he said this, Ning Wang's Mansion Changshi immediately hurried in and glanced at the people on the table: "Lord Wang, it's not good, Chen Heng is at the gate of the palace with a team of people." ”

Ning Wang Zhu Quan immediately stood up and said, "What's the matter? ”

Changshi hesitated: "Back to the prince, my subordinates asked Chen Heng, Chen Heng said that they suspected that Ning Wangfu had entered King Yan's spies, and said what to do if it was not good for the prince, so that the princess should not go out of the city at will in the future, and be in the city well." ”

"What! Chen Heng, a son of a bitch, was raised like this............ Treat this king like this, he is tired of being crooked. ”

Zhu Quan angrily overturned a table of meals and scolded: "His mother's Chen Heng, there is no will of the imperial court, why should he warn and question this king?" ”

Changshi is a person from the imperial court, so he naturally helped the imperial court to speak, and said politely: "Lord, these days, let's follow the will of the imperial court, and the people in the palace are not allowed to move around at will." ”

"You, get out of here!"

Zhu Quan pointed at Changshi and scolded, and almost stabbed to death the Changshi of King Ning's Mansion.

Concubine Ning motioned for Changshi to go down, and immediately stopped Zhu Quan and said: "Lord, the imperial court has been wanting to cut down Daning for a long time, and they are just looking for an excuse this time, if the prince uses force, isn't it a chance for the imperial court to send troops?" ”

Zhu Quan sat on the chair and muttered to himself, "Could it be that the fourth brother is me?" Why does the imperial court want to kill everything so much, Your Majesty is pressing on us uncles step by step, and you have to kill this king! ”

King Ning's side concubine Dana Er said: "The ...... in the palace"

Zhu Quan thought about it and shook his head and said, "Absolutely not, now the imperial court has asked Chen Heng to treat this king like this."

If we send the fourth brother's people out again, we will have a grudge against the fourth brother, and there will be no way out at that time. ”

Tai Ningwei sent a few leaders to send fur to Zhu Quan this time, and after hearing this, he got up and said: "Lord Ning, why don't we defect to King Yan and rebel against the court together, maybe we can still live." ”

Zhu Quan glanced at the guard, then looked at King Ning's side concubine Dana'er and said, "The two people sent by the fourth brother, Changshi doesn't know, right?" ”

Dana Er said: "The concubines were all admonished by the prince, and they did not let Changshi know about it. ”

Zhu Quan nodded: "That's good, the court is suddenly like this, it must be the heart of the enemy, we must leave the fourth brother on this road, and there will be a place to retreat when the time comes." ”

"If we reveal the traces of the two of them, won't it prove that there are Yan Jun's spies in the mansion, and then the court will cut me off.

Leave them, there will still be a way for the fourth brother in the future, Na'er, didn't you say that the court may not win, in case the fourth brother wins, I can also be a happy prince. ”

Dana'er nodded: "Yu'er got close to that Cheng Yuan a few days ago, you can ask her." ”

Zhu Quan said: "Yu'er, does that Cheng Yuan have anything to say to you." ”

Faced with his uncle's inquiry, how could Da Yuer tell them Cheng Yuan's sweet words, so he said: "I listen to their tone, and I have a lot of hope for Yan Wang to win." ”

Zhu Quan nodded.

Zhu Quan always likes to choose foolproof things, and repeatedly jumps sideways between the two forces of the imperial court and the Yanwang Mansion.

Thinking of the army outside, the imperial court sent Chen Heng to warn him that now he must leave the road of Yanwangfu.

Soon after, Ning Wangfu began to strictly investigate after Chen Heng came, and Da Yu'er was directly blocked back when she arrived at the city gate.

Zhu Quan was furious in the house!

Da Yu'er thought about it, and immediately went to find Cheng Yuan and Dao Yan.

She has been with Cheng Yuan these days, and she has already remembered Cheng Yuan intentionally or unintentionally.

When Cheng Yuan opened the door, Da Yu'er came in with a bad face and ordered the guards to guard the courtyard.

Seeing that the pretty woman on weekdays had a bad face and was angry, she smiled and said, "Miss Yu'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Stupid Han people, just now that Chen Heng said that let my uncle guard against King Yan's spies, it is not safe for you two to stay in the mansion...... But the gates of the city are more strictly checked, how should this be? ”

Dao Yan saluted Da Yu'er and said, "Thank you Miss Yu'er for sending a message for us, won't King Ning allow us to live?" ”

Cheng Yuan understood that Dao Yan was knocking on Zhu Quan's attitude towards them.

Sure enough, how did the thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl of Da Yu'er know Dao Yan's purpose, so she shook her head and said, "How come, my uncle still asked my aunt to protect you." ”

Cheng Yuan glanced at Dao Yan, Chen Heng was able to do this, which showed that he believed the content of Cheng Yuan's letter, and Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, was indeed afraid that he would have no way back, so he did not confess to them.
