Chapter 41: The Secret Battle in the Capital

In the Eight Princes' Mansion, in the chess room.

The eighth prince looked at the information sent and sorted it out little by little.

"They have already left Yangzhou and gone to Suzhou, but we don't know the detailed route, they chose their own path. ”

"In Suzhou, the men and horses of King Yan were killed and injured by the gunpowder that was buried in a house, and the four of them did not know where they were after entering the residence, and it is estimated that they should have gone to Suzhou. ”

"They didn't follow our plan to lead King Yan's people into the ambush circle, and we didn't wait for people. ”

"Zhao Jingtian has gone to Suzhou, it is estimated that he will replace the injured Liu Shen, and it is not clear what he is doing. ”

"The old man of the Twelve Serial Dock was found to be stunned outside the city in Runzhou, and all his subordinates were knocked unconscious, and after waking up, he didn't say anything, and went back to the Twelve Serial Dock directly. The 12-in-12 dock fleet has been inspecting the canal and Taihu Lake since yesterday, and I don't know what the road is for. ”

"Runzhou Jinshan Temple found traces of the princess, but she has already left. ”

"After Yangzhou, the four of them didn't contact us, Ma"

"The ships of the 12 docks have already started patrolling the canal and Taihu Lake, and they will notify us immediately if they find news. ”

The eighth prince watched the information come one after another, but he didn't find a piece of useful information, he looked at the information on the table, looked carefully, flipped through, and opened the intelligence entrustment information of the shadow.

"Tianzhu Group needs the information of the personnel who hijacked the princess and the information of the client behind it. ”

"The Twelve Docks need to hijack the princess's information and the latest information. ”

"The four families of Jiangnan jointly entrusted, hoping to get the information on the kidnapping of the princess. ”

"Northwest Wulin held a rally, and at the meeting, it was unanimously requested that Shadow could provide information about the person who kidnapped the princess, and the destination of the princess's abduction."

The eighth prince turned the pages one by one, and the most entrustment that the shadow received in the past month was the information of the princess and the kidnapper.

"Eighth Prince, the princess and Lord Wen are back. Zhao Fei reported.

"Come in, please. King Xiao was overjoyed.

After a while, Murong Yan and Wen Yuetian hurriedly came to the chess room. They were a little tired, and the tiredness on their faces was obviously the result of the exhaustion of the journey.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Wen, but I have no choice but to ask you to come up with an idea. The eighth prince said to Wen Yuetian apologetically.

"What the prince said, I should have done this. Wen Yuetian stretched out his hand and grabbed the information, sat at the table and read it slowly.

"Aifei, it's hard work. King Xiao looked at Murong Yan with guilt on his face.

Murong Yanwan smiled and said, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my mission, otherwise the concubine would have no shame to come back to see the prince." ”

King Xiao looked at Murong Yan, shook his head and said, "Hey, my prince is too useless, if he can't do it, and his wife is gone, isn't it too conscienceless? It doesn't matter if it can't be done, my wife must come back." He laughed.

Murong Yan also did it, slowly flipping through the information. The eighth prince slowly picked up the tea and drank it one by one.

He had been thinking in his heart how to find the most advantageous way among these interests, he already had a preliminary idea, but he needed Wen Yuetian and Murong Yan to improve it, so he had to wait.

Wen Yuetian watched it quickly, and after reading it, he looked at the eighth prince: "The prince already has an idea?"

The eighth prince said with a smile: "There are some preliminary ideas, but they are still a little imperfect, so let's discuss them together." ”

Wen Yuetian said: "The preliminary judgment is that now the black and white are already eyeing the princess, what we have done is to balance all interests and find the most beneficial path for us." The minister thought that if we could let the princess go to King Duan, then we would have more time to deal with the affairs of the capital, and King Yan would not have the energy to manage the affairs of the capital. ”

The eighth prince nodded and said, "The problem is that they are almost in Suzhou, and the mission is almost over, what reason do we have for them to continue the mission?"

You look at me and I look at you, it's really hard to do. There was no reason for the three of them to continue.

"Suzhou Plum Garden is Duanwang's secret gathering point, what we promised Duanwang is to send the princess to Meiyuan, but now we are in the stage of stalemate in the capital, and we can't spare our hands to contain King Yan, how should this be good?" the eighth prince said to himself.

"The prince's concubine has an idea, and she can kill three birds with one stone. Murong Yan said.

King Xiao and Wen Yuetian looked at Murong Yan, waiting for her answer.

"Ruined the plum garden, and then let them escort the princess to the Golden State. Murong Yan said unhurriedly.

"Ruined the plum garden, how did you destroy it, can you make it clear?" said the eighth prince strangely.

"We released the news that the plum garden was the destination of the princess kidnapping, so it is estimated that many people in the rivers and lakes and the court will rush up desperately. We have not only maintained the reputation of the Shadows, but also kept the Yan King at bay, and at the same time, we have enough time to arrange everything in the capital. At the same time, it can also make King Duan beg us again. Murong Yan looked at the Eighth Prince and said.

"The crux of the question is whether the three of us will help us, is this a question?" the Eighth Prince asked coldly.

"Lord Wang, you don't have to worry about this, the shadow released the news, it is estimated that Suzhou will be lively, Meiyuan will definitely not be able to keep it, they will not let go of the princess, because they all have a weakness, that is, the weakness of human nature, too heavy on promises, too much love to help the weak. This is the so-called morality of the rivers and lakes. Murong Yan said with confidence. It is true that Murong Yan doesn't know the situation of these three people, and she hasn't even met each other, but from the information, she has already understood the weaknesses of their personalities, and she has received such training since she was a child, that is, people have weaknesses, and if you can hold on to people's weaknesses, then you must be the winner of the worst.

"There is no third party who knows the secret agreement between Duanwang and us, and when the news is released, it is estimated that Duanwang will be suspicious. The eighth prince said.

"When they release the news just before they arrive in Suzhou, then no one will suspect that we leaked the news. Murong Yan drank a cup of tea and said slowly.

"Lord Wang, judging from the distance, it is estimated that they will arrive in Suzhou the day after tomorrow, so the news must be spread out tonight, and it will be conveyed immediately through the secret channel of the shadows. In addition, we have to reach Zhang Rang's ears, hoping to hear good news tomorrow. Wen Yuetian said.

"Here in the capital, we have to work on the Admiral of the Nine Gates, he is now our man, so let him get closer to King Yan, and replace the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate with our men and horses as much as possible, so as to avoid King Yan taking risks. Lord, is the emperor's position as the crown prince going to find someone to knock on it, so that he can make up his mind as soon as possible. Wen Yuetian said with a serious face.

"You go to the shadow now, inform Zhang Rang, the matter of the governor of the nine gates, I will go and talk to King Duan, princess, you have to go home tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow you have to go to the palace, and you have to put some pressure inside and outside. But you must pay attention not to mention the matter of the crown prince, just care about the emperor's condition, and don't say anything else, waiting for others to say. I understand that I don't love the concubine. The eighth prince said slowly.

Murong Yan put down the teacup, covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, and said, "This concubine understands that she is too tired and wants to go back to sleep early." Won't you sleep, prince?"

Wen Yuetian raised his hand and made a gesture of resignation, and said, "Lord Wang, my subordinates will go and arrange everything, and retire first." With that, he turned around and left.

The eighth prince waved his hand and signaled to go quickly. As soon as Wen Yuetian left, the eighth prince walked up to Murong Yan with a smile, stretched out his hand to hug Murong Yan, and said, "Concubine Ai is tired, then I will send you back to sleep." Murong Yan blushed with shame, buried herself in the arms of the eighth prince, and whispered: "Prince, pay attention to your body, don't be tired, let me down." ”

The eighth prince Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled, ignored Murong Yan's request, and walked directly to the bedroom with Murong Yan in his arms.

It was dark, but few people were asleep in the capital tonight, and many people were driven by a piece of news to act overnight.
