At the foot of Daliang Mountain, the tent of the Chu military camp.

Dongfang Dingtian was alone, looking at a secret letter from the Chu Palace.

The secret letter is not signed, but the handwriting on it is beautiful, and it looks like it is written by a woman.

"Since the general's conquest, he has conquered several cities and made great achievements, but recently he has been trapped in Daliang Mountain, the battle situation has been blocked, and the DPRK and China have been criticized, and the mourning family is very worried. The king is also hesitant......"

Dongfang Dingtian didn't need to be recognized, he knew that the person who wrote the letter was Yun Ji, the current queen of Chu. The people of today's Chu State know that he took the initiative to befriend Chu Zhao, who was still a prince at the time, since he was a child, and Yun Ji was also introduced to Chu Zhao by Dongfang Dingtian at that time.

At that time, Yun Ji was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she was already charming and charming, and Chu Zhao was already moved at the first sight of Yun Ji and was fascinated by her demeanor. After that, Dongfang Dingtian paid for Yun Ji, who had just been sold to Chunxiang Pavilion and was about to become a geisha, and gave it to Chu Zhao as a concubine.

What is not known is that the first meeting between Yun Ji and Chu Zhao was actually deliberately arranged by Dongfang Dingtian. At that time, the behind-the-scenes boss of Chunxiang Pavilion, in order to tie up with Dongfang Dingtian, the most promising Dongfang Dingtian of the Dongfang family, originally wanted to give Yun Ji who had just been bought from the traffickers to him, and Dongfang Dingtian was also shocked when he saw Yun Ji, but he didn't get involved. Because Yun Ji was still a virgin at that time, and Dongfang Dingtian knew that Chu Zhao had always been lustful, for the sake of his own future, he couldn't bear to cut his love, arranged an encounter between Chu Zhao and Yun Ji, and then paid for it himself, and gave this moving beauty to Chu Zhao to win his favor.

And after Yun Ji married Chu Zhao, she has been secretly in contact with Dongfang Dingtian, because Dongfang Dingtian still remembers Yun Ji's beauty, and Yun Ji also happens to need the help of the Dongfang family to help her ascend to the queen's seat. After all, she is only a geisha, and she can't be compared with the daughter of the other ministers around the king of Chu.

The two hit it off and became a pair of secret lovers.

In the end, with the help of Dongfang Dingtian, Chu Zhao inherited the unification and became the king of Chu, and Yun Ji really became the queen of a country.

It is also for this reason that after Chu Zhao ascended the throne, he has always trusted Dongfang Dingtian. Among them, there is no lack of Yun Ji's skill in blowing the pillow wind in front of the king of Chu.

This secret letter was sprinkled with more than 1,000 words, and Dongfang Dingtian read it in one go, and his face turned blue.

According to Yun Ji, an old lover, in recent times, someone in the Chu State suddenly attacked and slandered the Dongfang family headed by him, especially Dongfang Dingtian himself, saying that the Chu army he led was at first connected several cities, but recently it suddenly stagnated, not because the combat effectiveness of the guards increased, but because he had bad intentions and harbored evil intentions, and deliberately did it. And the remarks about his high merits, arrogance in his achievements, and not taking the king of Chu in his eyes are also in the midst of the prosperity of the Chu country, so that the king of Chu, who has always trusted him, is now a little hesitant and really worried.

It was also for this reason that after Dongfang Qingtian failed to attack Chenzhou and died, the Chu Palace did not say anything about this matter. Not only that, but even the military salaries and supplies that were supposed to be sent early were delayed, and they couldn't come to the barracks for a while.

The king of Chu obviously began to worry that if Dongfang Dingtian really defeated the country, the credit would be against the sky, and the prestige in the Chu State would be unmatched, and now that most of the Chu army was in the hands of their family, at that time, even if Dongfang Dingtian wanted to replace him, it would be an easy matter.

Between monarchs and ministers, how can there be true friendship at all. Dongfang Dingtian is the same to the King of Chu, and the King of Chu is the same to Dongfang Dingtian.

Even between Yun Ji and Dongfang Dingtian, it's hard to say whether there is really no gap, I'm afraid it's more about trading with each other.

Dongfang Dingtian held the letter, showing an extremely cold gaze on his resolute and mature face, he slowly got up, lit an oil lamp, burned the letterhead to ashes, and then sat down on the tiger skin bench again.

Outside the army commander, the sunset had sunk more than half of the western mountain, the entire sky was dyed red, and the sound of the battle between the Chu army and the guard army in the distance was endless.

Dongfang Dingtian's heart is unusually calm.

This war was originally to rob the guards for cover, which was planned and arranged by him, in his mind, at this time, Dongfang Angtian may have grabbed the supplies and was on the way back. When the time comes, with the supplies of the guards, they can hold out for a while, while the guards will be distressed by the exhaustion of supplies, and even win fighters for themselves. This is a method of killing two birds with one stone, saving oneself from one's own troubles and bringing danger to the enemy. Therefore, Dongfang Dingtian did not care too much about the delay of military salaries and materials by the King of Chu.

What he cared about was who would instigate the princes and princes of the royal capital to fan the flames in front of the king of Chu at such a time, so that the monarchs and ministers would be suspicious of each other.

The status of the Dongfang family in the Chu State was unmatched, and in the past, even if there were many people who did not deal with their family, few dared to openly provoke the relationship between him and the King of Chu. Because the king of Chu has trusted him for many years, if he does not have enough weight, the king of Chu will only be angry with the person who provokes him. Like this time, I had doubts about myself, maybe there was a reason why I led a large army to attack the hinterland of the country, which did increase the invisible pressure on the King of Chu, but more often there was a large force, which was aimed at himself, and the King of Chu had to pay attention to it.

Dongfang Dingtian pondered for a long time, but he still didn't expect that anyone would dare to target him, weren't they afraid that after he returned to the court, he would settle accounts with them?

It's not that Dongfang Dingtian is arrogant, but he does have this confidence, and the Dongfang family has the ability to step those opponents into a place of no return, and he has done this kind of thing all these years.

It is also for this reason that in this case, there are still people who dare to partner against their family, which has to make him cautious.

It's just that there is too little information mentioned in Yun Ji's letter, he has been on the battlefield for so long, and he doesn't have enough information about the affairs of the Chu Wangdu, so he doesn't have much clue at this time.

Dongfang Dingtian was silent for a long time, began to study ink in front of the case, and wrote a letter to the old lady of the Dongfang family.

The old lady of the Dongfang family told the old man to return to his hometown for a long time, and he also let them do the big and small things, but this time they led the army to defend and had no time to take care of the affairs of the royal capital, and the old lady would definitely not continue to stand idly by. Dongfang Dingtian believed that a lot of information must have been handed over to the old lady for the first time, so he wrote a letter to his family at this time, asking the old lady for his opinion and advice on this incident.

After a stick of incense.

Dongfang Dingtian put the letter he had written into the envelope, coated it with wax and sealed it, and then walked out of the military tent.

He was about to call a personal soldier to send the letter to the Dongfang family, but found that there was billowing smoke rising from the granary of the Chu army not far away.

The warehouse is on fire!

Above the billowing smoke was a huge bird with red wings, like a red glow, and it was chirping proudly.
