Since Uncle Chen left, Ruyi has talked a lot less for a while.

No matter how much peace is persuaded, it cannot be persuaded.

"Sister, it's not like Mr. Chen won't come back......"

"He can't come back and do anything to me."

Ruyi said, and the needlework in his hand never stopped.

Ping'an opened his mouth, shook his head and sighed, and then continued to practice his sword.

He knows that Sister Ah is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, if she is really not reluctant, why did she cry before.

……

Borderlands.

There was a smell of blood on the battlefield, and there was a putrid stench, the smell of rotting corpses.

Since Zhao Zhen broke through Dongyu City, it stands to reason that he should go straight into it in one go, but the pace of advancement stopped at a critical moment.

It's just because the rear is messed up!!

"Evil?"

Zhao Zhen frowned when she saw this secret report.

Evil spirits causing chaos in the local area will not have much impact on the war in this region.

However, the place where the evil is causing chaos is on the road that must be passed through to transport grain and grass.

Several times in a row, the people who transported the grain and grass died on the road without exception, and the grain and grass did not know what to do.

Naturally, I also tried to detour, but there was only this one road, the left side was the river, and the right side was the mountains, and the horse-drawn carriages transporting grain and grass could not cross the mountains at all, and took the waterway, but in a few days, the grain and grass would be damp and moldy, and I was in a dilemma.

Moreover, there is not much grain and grass left in the army now, and if it advances again, the rear will be unstable, and I am afraid that there will be a big mess.

It was also a last resort, Zhao Zhen stopped in Dongyu City.

Zhao Zhen didn't believe that there was such a coincidence, and he even suspected that he was a bait to capture Dongyu City!

It was Xiao Jun who deliberately did this, taking advantage of the fact that he set fire to the rear and intercepted the grain road in a few days when he was rectifying Dongyu City.

"Your Majesty, the grain and grass are in an emergency, and if there is no grain and grass delivered within ten days, I am afraid that it will ......."

Zhao Zhen listened to the report of the people below, and her face became solemn.

And on Xixiao's side.

The army had already set up camp, and everything was in order, as if the loss of Dongyu City had not caused any impact.

Shang Lu was not surprised to see the Xiang army stop in Dongyu City.

Many years ago, he went to Daxiang, and he had already planted a secret hand, just waiting for this day to come.

As long as he stays for another ten days, the Xiang army will have no food and grass to replenish, and it will be like a chicken and a dog, and it can be destroyed with a raised hand.

"My Dongyu City, how can it be so easy to take."

Shang Lu put down the battle report, and his eyes were still so calm.

……

For this reason, Zhao Zhen sent more than thousands of generals to the rear to check on the grain road.

But I never thought that nearly 7,000 people investigated, but found nothing.

"Your Majesty, will it be, it's really evil."

Zhao Zhen didn't believe that this was done by an evil person, and someone must have done it.

But even so, there is still no food and grass delivered.

Zhao Zhen also understood at this moment, I'm afraid that this son can't be broken by him.

"Bring pen and paper!!"

That night, Zhao Zhen wrote a secret letter.

Summoning the secret guard, Zhao Zhen ordered: "This letter must be handed over to the prince, and it must not be delayed for a moment, and no one can know it!" ”

Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, the guards set off on fast horses, and four fast horses were killed and arrived in Shangjing.

Zhao Wushuang couldn't help but be a little nervous in the face of the secret guard that suddenly appeared.

He never knew that there was such a person behind his father.

Zao Wushuang took the letter with both hands, and only after the dark guard had left did he open it.

However, there was still an unopened envelope in the letter.

The envelope was not written to anyone, but to such a line.

[Send this letter to the Mausoleum of the Old King Emperor!] 】

Zhao Wushuang was stunned for a moment, "The Old Jinghuang Mausoleum? ”

He didn't understand why his father would do this and let the secret guard send it, wouldn't it? Why go through him again.

Zhao Wushuang couldn't figure it out, but he still followed the instructions and went out of the city that night to the Old Jinghuang Mausoleum.

The imperial mausoleum at this time was actually deserted, and the entrance to the mausoleum had already been sealed.

Zao Wou-Ki stood at the entrance of the sealed cave, holding the letter in his hand, not knowing what to do.

Put it here? Or how?

Just as he thought.

But suddenly a strong wind blew.

The cold wind howled in the night, and Zhao Wushuang did not stand firm, and fell towards the mausoleum.

"Plop."

Zao Wou-Ki fell to the ground, and his hands ached.

But when he opened his eyes again, he was stunned.

"This ......"

He was a little dazed, and looked back again.

The entrance to the cave is still sealed!

But now he is standing in the mausoleum.

Zhao Wushuang opened his mouth slightly, raised his eyes, but saw a crimson coffin in the center in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a chill behind his back, and a coldness rushed straight to his head.

"Zhao Zhen asked you to come?"

A voice suddenly rang out.

Zhao Wushuang was stunned and looked around.

"Who!! Who is it!! ”

He looked around, flustered and overwhelmed.

This feeling scared him even more than the day when he confronted his father on the top of the main hall.

Because everything is unknown.

"Are you Zhao Zhen's son?"

Suddenly, a face suddenly came to Zhao Wushuang's eyes.

Zhao Wushuang was startled and fell to the ground.

"You ......"

The eyes of the person in front of him were white, there was a foul smell on his body, and the clothes on his body were also tattered, especially the face, which was even older and wrinkled.

It is like an evil spirit.

The man said calmly, "Don't be afraid, I'm human. ”

Zhao Wushuang swallowed, climbed back two more steps, and looked at the person in front of him vigilantly.

The man opened his mouth and asked, "Why didn't Zhao Zhen come in person?" ”

"Father, he ......"

Zhao Wushuang explained: "He went to the border pass. ”

The person in front of him was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's really brave, at such an age, but it's still ambitious." ”

He faced Zhao Wushuang, but shook his head and said, "You don't even have one-tenth of Zhao Zhen's courage." ”

He didn't say much, just waved his hand and said, "Just leave the letter." ”

Zhao Wushuang put the letter down.

Immediately, the tattered-clad man raised his hand and waved, and Zhao Wushuang was immediately flown upside down.

When he got up again, it was pitch black in front of him, and he had already left the imperial tomb.

Zhao Wushuang's throat rolled, he was afraid in his heart, and fled from here quickly.

He Zhao Wushuang is not a brave person, but if he were someone else, he might react more than him, and even fainted on the spot.

The tattered man in the mausoleum opened the letter and reached out to wipe the surface of the letter.

"Evil?"

The man muttered, but suddenly took out a copper coin from his bosom and threw it away.

Then I understood.

When he saw the letter at the end, he was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous.

"This Zhao Zhen ......"

He put away the letter and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's really a hero."

After a long time, there was another sigh.

"It's a pity ......"
