Shi Yiru frowned: "Although there are not many people, but—"
Seeing him hesitate to speak, Zhu Xuan also frowned: "But what?"
Shi Yiru said: "I heard from the guards staying at the governor's office that when Wen Ye took those people away, they heard what they discussed."
"What words?"
"Wen Ye told those people that His Majesty the Emperor is currently in Changqing City, and he has been dormant all this time, just waiting for His Highness Prince Ning to leave Changqing City."
"What?"
When Zhu Xuan heard this, his eyes widened suddenly: "Why?"
Shi Yiru said: "Wen Ye told those people that His Royal Highness King Ning is very powerful in Changqing City. As long as His Royal Highness King Ning sticks to Changqing City, it will be difficult for the imperial army to break through. In this way, the emperor will take His Highness There is no way."
"..."
"So now, the emperor is dormant, waiting for His Royal Highness King Ning to leave Changqing City, and then taking advantage of the emptiness of the guards in the city, he wants to take Changqing City in one fell swoop."
"ah!"
Hearing this, Zhu Xuan gasped.
this-
Zhu Feng's words are correct. It has been more than ten years since he was canonized as King Ning at the age of thirteen and arrived at the fief in person at the age of fifteen. His power is deeply rooted here. Changqing City is indeed his base camp.
He only wanted to capture Beiping and ascend the throne as emperor, but he didn't expect this.
Zhu Feng is still in the city and doesn't know where.
In his hand, there is a group of soldiers from the imperial camp. Although the number of people who appeared in the governor's office is only a hundred or so, it is unknown how many cards he has not shown. Not much, but not little.
If he left Changqing City, the soldiers and horses in the city would indeed not be enough to resist.
by that time-
Zhu Xuan's face suddenly sank, he gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "It's dangerous!"
"..."
"Almost, let him occupy the magpie's nest."
As he spoke, he clenched his fists, and his palms were already covered in cold sweat.
Think about it, I am ready to go out of the city today, if Zhu Feng leads the troops to occupy here as soon as I leave Changqing City, then I will completely cut off my back, and Beiping is not sure, at that time, I will The situation we are facing is really a crisis.
But at this moment, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the palace had already come over, knelt down and bowed to Zhu Xuan, and said, "My lord, the soldiers and horses have been mobilized, and they are ready to go at any time."
"..."
Zhu Xuan was silent for a while, and walked forward without saying anything.
Shi Yiru and Zhai Yun looked at each other, and followed them. After a while, they walked to the place where the army was assembled. The soldiers and horses of Prince Ning's Mansion had already gathered. The soldiers lined up, fighting fiercely, and at a glance, the heroic spirit soared into the sky.
There was some contradiction in Zhu Xuan's gaze.
You know, he originally planned to send troops today, if not for the news brought by Shi Yiru, maybe now, he would have stepped on his steed and led these people to attack Beiping.
However, he had to consider Zhu Feng's calculation.
Winning while maintaining stability is his consistent principle.
It is precisely because of this principle that even if the troubles in the altar have become like that, he can still retreat completely, whether it is the emperor or queen, or the ministers who dislike him in the court, or even Changqing City. Wen Ye, the official inspector, has nothing to do with him.
so now-
He was silent, and Shi Yiru, who was standing aside, also fell silent.
Having served him for many years, he naturally knows every move of His Royal Highness Prince Ning. Zhu Xuan seldom hesitates. Most of the time, he appears frivolous and casual, but he uses this appearance to To paralyze and deceive everyone.
His city is very deep.
You have to think twice about everything you do, and you will only start after careful consideration.
And once decided, it cannot be changed.
But now, he obviously hesitated.
Although the people around didn't know what happened just now, they were excited and prepared everything, and they were going out of the city just waiting for Zhu Xuan's order, but now, Zhu Xuan arrived, but they didn't speak.
Everyone was a little puzzled.
Shi Yiru took a step forward and said softly: "My lord, we—"
Before he could say anything, he heard Zhu Xuan's breath sink, he took a step forward, and said to everyone, "Today, let's suspend the army for the time being."
"ah?!"
As soon as he said this, everyone around him was shocked.
Even Shi Yiru was slightly shocked.
The commander-in-chief of soldiers and horses immediately stepped forward and said eagerly: "My lord, why is this? Didn't your lord already make a decision before? All the troops have already gathered, and we can leave the city only after the lord gives an order. Why? —”
Zhu Xuan frowned and said, "This king has other considerations."
"..."
"Let's go back to the camp first."
"this-"
"Why, do you dare not listen to my king's words?"
When the commander heard this, he hurriedly lowered his head in fright: "Don't dare, the last general will just go and give the order."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked over, and gave orders to the subordinates below. The expressions of everyone became even more surprised. Naturally, everyone did not dare to disobey the order of His Highness King Ning, so they could only push away one after another. However, they were a little emotional. Frustrated, everyone talked about it.
Zhai Yun stood aside, seeing this situation with a serious expression.
He stepped forward and said softly, "My lord, this will seriously damage the morale of the soldiers."
Zhu Xuan said: "It's not a formal dispatch of troops, it's okay."
"But, is the prince really not going to attack Beiping?"
"The king of Peiping must be won, but not now."
"..."
"At this time, the pain in the elbow and armpit must be relieved, so that this king can send troops to attack Beiping with peace of mind."
Zhai Yun thought for a while and said, "The strategies we discussed before were all about attacking Beiping. If the prince wants to stay in Changqing City now, what should we do next?"
Zhu Xuan didn't speak immediately, but beckoned and called the two of them, including several other generals, to his study.
A few people walked in and looked at him silently.
Zhu Xuan took off the helmet, put it on the desk, and turned to look at them.
Said: "The next thing we have to do is to put all the troops in the city, and we must find that person."
"However, we have sent more than 500 people to the city before, but we haven't found it yet."
Zhu Xuan sneered: "Before, there was no one around him, only one person, so it was easy to avoid him."
"..."
"But now, there are hundreds of people around him."
"..."
"At this time, can he still hide?"
At this moment, an attendant rushed in from outside and said, "My lord, there is news from the searchers!"
