When I heard that Shuzhong and Xiangyang were attacked at the same time, it was not surprising. According to my opinion, if you want to attack Nanchu, a two-pronged approach is essential. Although it takes a long time, as long as Jianghuai is captured, I am afraid The south is not peaceful, so when I heard that King Yong took 20,000 light cavalry straight to Jianye, I was stunned at the time. I immediately flipped out the map and looked at it for a long time. The more I looked, the more confused I became. In this way, although Jianye can be captured for a while, it will be lost soon. Even if the monarch and ministers of Nanchu fall into his hands, someone will inevitably establish a new monarch, or even replace him, not to mention that Nanchu will definitely fall into a situation of separatism. , If you want to pacify, you have to fight one city and one pond. In this way, Jiangnan will never be pacified without 20 years. After thinking hard for a long time, I still don't understand Li Zhi's intention.
From another angle, I suddenly thought that the war is just a continuation of politics, so what benefits can Li Zhi get, but I think about it, but a chaotic Nanchu will make the crown prince Li An dare not make it difficult for Li Zhi at will, but, If Li Zhi breaks Chu Chu in one fell swoop, it has nothing to do with Li An really turning his face. I don't believe that Li Zhi will be able to defeat Li An. After thinking about it, I still can't figure it out. I put down the information in my hand with great doubt, but these, although It was beyond my surprise, but I could take the opportunity to implement my plan. Thinking of this, I said lightly, "Chi Ji." Chi Ji, who was organizing the map for me, raised her head and looked at me. I ordered: "Send a letter to your master, I want to see him tonight." Chi Ji said "yes" and turned around to go out.
In the evening, Xiao Shunzi came very quickly. I was sitting behind the desk. The Eight Horses of the Secret Camp, namely Chi Ji, stood on the left and right sides. Chen Zhen and Han Wuji stood on the left and right sides. The chief, Xiao Shunzi. As soon as he came in, he walked behind me. There is his position. Now, the commander of the secret camp is Chen Zhen, and the director of Tianji Pavilion is Han Wuji. Although Xiao Shunzi has no clear identity, everyone knows that he is me. My stand-in can give orders for me, and Xiao Shunzi is also the martial arts master of the secret camp disciples, and the secret camp disciples respect Xiao Shunzi very much. As before, willing to serve as my servant.
When I saw that everyone had arrived, I said, "Everyone, I have established a secret camp and a secret pavilion. What I'm waiting for is today. The time is ripe. Today, I invite everyone to work together to help me complete the great cause of revenge."
Chen Zhen said, "Young master, despite your orders, if you hadn't insisted on waiting, we would have killed Liang Wan with all our lives."
Everyone else just listened quietly. According to my rules, they can't talk casually unless it's their turn. Chen Zhen is the commander of the secret camp. Except for Xiao Shunzi and Han Wuji, everyone is his subordinate. , Xiao Shunzi doesn't have to be incapable of speaking, and Han Wuji's status is under Chen Zhen, so he won't interject casually.
I looked at Han Wuji and asked, "Is everything ready at Tianji Pavilion?"
Han Wuji bowed and said: "Young Master, rest assured, although many businessmen began to flee because of the news of Yong Jun's upcoming arrival, but the parts that the Master ordered in advance are under control."
I nodded and said, "I've been waiting for this opportunity in the past. Only when Nan Chu and Dayong are completely torn apart will they have the opportunity I want. That is Princess Changle, Queen of Nanchu. From the very beginning, I felt that Dayong had The emperor really loves this princess very much. You can see that he has sent so many beautiful palace maids to dowry. Besides, Princess Changle has always been at odds with the lord for many years. It can be seen that Princess Changle only needs someone to be in Nanchu. I think for the future To avoid embarrassment for the princess, Emperor Dayong doesn't want the princess to have too many feelings with the lord."
After listening to my words, Xiao Shunzi and others were confused and suspicious at first, then their expressions gradually became clear, Xiao Shunzi said: "Young master is right, I know in the palace that the queen basically does not live with the king, except when necessary. The queen always tries to stay in the palace, even in the palace, she is always unhappy and never competes for favor. I used to think that the queen was virtuous, but now it seems that it is exactly what the son said, she and Ben have no intention of staying in Nanchu. ."
I patted the table and said: "Yes, if Emperor Dayong cherishes this daughter, he can completely ignore her feelings and let her win over the king, and then there will be a better harvest. Since he loves Princess Changle so much, then in Dayong and Nan Before Chu turned her face, she must rescue the princess, and Liang Wan must be the person in charge of this matter. Liang Wan is not afraid of death. If Princess Changle makes a mistake, I am afraid that she will be sadder than death, so as long as we take advantage of them to escape from the palace It is time to trap them. For the safety of Princess Changle, Liang Wan is impossible to confess. As long as she confesses, her life and death are no longer important. No less, we must act foolproof, we must not let them escape, Xiao Shunzi, you are my main force this time, are you sure?"
Xiao Shunzi thought for a while and said, "Young master, rest assured, with my current martial arts, it may be difficult to capture them, but it is easy to kill them, as long as the master plans carefully, I can guarantee that I will not let them. escape."
I said happily: "Okay, okay, Hua Liu, Lu Er, you two lead the Yin Group, you must master their every move, Bai Yi, Yu Lun, Shan Zi, Qu Huang, you four lead the Tiger Group, Yin Group The group is the main force besieging them. Chi Ji and Robber Li, you lead the dragon group to coordinate and deal with the aftermath. The specific matters are under the direction of Chen Zhen and Han Wuji. You should act now. Xiao Shunzi, you go to follow the queen first, just hurry up It's impossible for Liang Wan to escape."
When I was nervously reading all kinds of information to determine which strategy to use, the DPRK and China were already in chaos. The lord Zhao Jia's eyes were full of red silk, and he said angrily: "I always hear what you say every day, I have enough food for Nanchu soldiers, but Dayong just passed through the defense line like this. What do you say, what do you do?"
The Prime Minister Shang Weijun said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Yong Jun has been riding thousands of miles, and it is already at the end of the force. Although Jianye is empty, there are still 50,000 forbidden troops. As long as we defend for a while, the division of King Qin will arrive."
At this time, a minister said: "Your Majesty, although Prime Minister Shang's remarks are polite, but the Yong army is elite, if we can't defend Jianye, it is not that the community is in danger. According to the minister's opinion, Your Majesty should temporarily move the car to a safe place. Take shelter for a while, wait until the enemy retreats, and then return to Jianye to reorganize. Your Majesty’s body is full of gold, and you can’t easily take risks.” As soon as this statement came out, the courtiers all agreed. These people usually drink for fun, or seek flowers and willows. Since Zhao Jia took the throne , Most of the worthy ministers are alienated, but there are more and more villains. Last time, because of the proclamation of the emperor, a lot of worthy ministers were reprimanded, so now the matter is urgent, but there are no ministers who can discuss state affairs together. Although Wei Jun was usually mediocre, this time he was more sensible, but the anger was hard to break, and finally he had to compromise: "In this case, Your Majesty may wish to go to another place temporarily, and let the old minister lead the Imperial Army to guard Jianye, and ask Your Majesty's permission. The crown prince supervises the country." Zhao Jia repeatedly replied: "Okay, Jianye will entrust the prime minister, but the crown prince is only four years old, so I'm afraid it will be useless to stay." Shang Weijun thought, if there is no prince here, how can he resist Yong Jun, he had to ask again and again, Zhao Jia didn't have deep feelings for his prince, but now he found out that the only concubine other than Yong Nu was Concubine Shang who gave birth to a prince, so he naturally paid more attention, but seeing that Yong Jun was about to When he arrived, Zhao Jia finally did not want to waste time, and hurriedly brought some trusted ministers, concubines and thousands of forbidden troops and fled half an hour before the arrival of the Yong army. Before Zhao Jia left the city, Shang Weijun ordered the Imperial Guard to seize the Mingyue Tower, and then sent the Imperial Guard to surround the Middle Palace and put Princess Changle who was still in the harem under house arrest. The aftermath of the war between Yong and Nan Chu has not stopped, so the queen has not been promoted to the queen. Since Li Xian first attacked Xiangyang, Zhao Jia sent someone to take the queen back to the palace, but she was afraid of the strength of Dayong and did not dare to openly put her under house arrest. On the contrary, Princess Changle is very knowledgeable, and her footprints are not a step away from the palace gate. Today's house arrest is just a pretence. Who would have guessed that the Imperial Guard replied that Mingyue Tower was empty, and Princess Changle had disappeared, and all the palace maids were locked up. In a room, Shang Weijun was shocked. He knew that he had lost the amulet, and he did not care about checking the defense. He ordered to summon his cronies and samurai, and let them go to the harem to protect Concubine Shang and the prince and make up as civilians, and fled immediately. . Then Shang Weijun immediately went to the city to preside over the defense.
At the same time, in a farm in the northern suburbs of Jianye, there was a scene of blood spattering from a white blade. Liang Wan was dressed in a blue cloth and held a short sword in her hand. The sword was still as white as frost, but Liang Wan saw it on her forehead. Khan, on the chair behind her, her face was haggard and beautiful. She was also dressed in commoner clothes. Behind her stood a beautiful maid with a dagger in her hand. On the left and right sides stood more than a dozen Dayong in peasant costumes. The spies were all wounded, and there were some bloody crossbow arrows scattered on the ground.
Liang Wan never imagined that just as she brought Princess Changle to the hidden farmhouse she had chosen in advance, she was attacked by someone. They were tied tightly, both of their feet were slashed, and they were properly dealt with. Liang Wan led people to break through several times but was blocked by crossbow arrows. Once Liang Wan rushed out with the soft armor on her body, who would have just rushed out The gate of the courtyard was intercepted by four masked men with long knives. In Liang Wan's eyes, the martial arts of these masked men were only second-rate, but they were brave and good at fighting, their sword skills were fierce, and they echoed each other to form a sword formation. She was trapped for a while, and seeing the crossbow arrows coming to greet her, she had to rush back desperately. If Princess Changle hadn't been there, she could naturally arrange to break out of the siege. With her martial arts, it was very possible to escape, but now she was in a dilemma. The more she thought about it, the more confused she became. The people besieging her were very elite sergeants. At least it's not much worse than Dayong's most elite army, and those masters who block him can't be taken out casually. In today's Nanchu, how could there be such an elite army near Jianye, even if it is really a secret agent of Nanchu, Why did you do it here? You can do it when you rescue the princess from the palace. Liang Wan couldn't figure out what was outside, but she knew very well that she had to guard it. For safety, she didn't inform Yong Jun of this location. If he didn't wait for Yong Jun to arrive, not only would her life be lost, but also the princess would be lost. , If something happened to the princess, even if she died, it would be difficult to quell Emperor Yong's anger, and Fengyimen would be the one who would bear the anger at that time.
Liang Wan was thinking about it when she whispered, "Miss Liang, they are awake."
Liang Wan was overjoyed. Although the injuries of the people they stayed here were treated and they didn't die, they were still in a coma. They should have taken some medicine. She walked over and asked anxiously, "What's the matter, who attacked you?"
One person licked his chapped lips and said, "Miss, it's a person who came here alone, covered in black, didn't speak, and was extremely skilled in martial arts. He injured both of us with just one move. That person was going to kill us, but It was stopped by a later person, who should not be skilled in martial arts, because his steps were vain and he was out of breath, he ordered to cut our legs, and then we passed out."
Liang Wan listened to their words, but it was of no help. At this time, a cold voice came from outside: "The people in the room are listening, we are already impatient, if you still don't come out, after a while, we will Just use fire."
Liang Wan said loudly, "If you attack with fire, aren't you afraid of attracting attention?" She wanted to test the position of the person who came.
There was silence outside for a while, and the man said again: "Nan Chu can't take care of himself, Dayong will not arrive until half an hour, time is enough, the longer you think about it, the more severe we will deal with later, if you surrender now, I will I can guarantee that at least you won't die too painfully."
Liang Wan was in a cold sweat. For the first time, she regretted that she didn't bring more people here. When she was hesitating, several bundles of straw were thrown at the door, and a fire shard was thrown over, and the flames rose. Liang Wan was helpless and shouted: "We surrender."
Two rakes took the straw away, and a masked man in black, who was neither tall nor short, appeared at the door. His hands were empty and he didn't have any weapons, but Liang Wan felt a faint pressure from the man, and she pressed her left hand. The flying knife on his waist lost the courage to fire the knife. The man in black said in a feminine and moving voice: "You all come out one by one with your hands bound." Liang Wan was shocked, she had heard such a voice before. , that's the tone of the eunuchs, but they shouldn't be from Nan Chu. She mustered up her courage, dropped her short sword, stretched out her hand to straighten her messy hair, and walked towards the man gracefully. She knew that this man was likely to be a eunuch. It will also have a sinister personality, so she did not dare to use beauty to confuse people, but tried her best to show a kind of submissive obedience, she put her hands behind her back and walked towards the person, just as she passed the person, she His body twisted and slid like a poisonous snake, and the flying knife in his right hand stabbed the man's throat. The cold hand squeezed her throat, Liang Wan only felt that the hand was as disgusting and terrifying as a poisonous snake, and then she lost consciousness.
When Liang Wan woke up and found herself in the darkness, she listened carefully, but didn't feel anyone beside her, she twisted her body and found that her hands were tightly tied behind her by beef tendons, her martial arts were still there, and her body was also full. There was nothing unusual. She breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't move further. After all, she didn't want to attract possible attention. At this time, a cold voice said: "You are awake, the son wants to see you." Then the light came on, Liang Wan closed her eyes involuntarily, and then two people came over and dragged her up. From the feeling, these two were young people, Liang Wan thought instinctively. Those two people didn't want her to walk by themselves at all, and dragged her to a spacious room with no windows in sight. It was a secret room with torches burning everywhere. On a chair in the middle of the room, sat a man dressed in black. The masked man in the Confucian shirt, and on the four walls, all his subordinates were chained to the wall by five iron rings, and there was no trace of torture on them. Besides, Liang Wan saw the man in black shirt There was a person standing beside him. From his hands, you could tell that that person was the master who captured him alive. In addition, there were six men in black standing in the corners of the room. Liang Wan was dragged all the way to the wall opposite the man in black. The two of them skillfully tied Liang Wan's wrists and ankles with iron rings, and then an iron chain stopped her waist, tightening it, Liang Wan only She felt that her whole body could not move at all. Another man in black brought a bucket of cold water and poured it on her. Liang Wan was soaked all over her body, revealing the outline of a delicate and mature body. She was ashamed and angry, although she was already twenty. She was seven years old, but she was still a virgin. How could she endure such humiliation? Those people in black looked at her with unbridled eyes, even her subordinates.
Liang Wan said angrily, "Who are you, why are you embarrassing me, Dayong?"
The black-shirted scholar said lightly, "I'm not in trouble with Dayong, Liang Wan, what I want is you.
Liang Wan froze in her heart and thought, I have been working for Dayong for the past few years, how could someone seek revenge for me, looking at the hesitant eyes of her subordinates, she was a little embarrassed, and said: "You take the other two girls How's it going?"
She did not dare to reveal the identity of Princess Changle, but the man in black said: "Are you talking about Her Royal Highness Princess Changle, Her Royal Highness has nothing to do with this matter, and I am very sympathetic to the princess's experience, so she is arranged in a separate room. Here, her maid's martial arts are very similar to yours, she wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack, but was mistakenly killed by my subordinates."
Liang Wan grieved in her heart and said, "You guys are really vicious. My junior sister is only nineteen years old this year. I didn't expect you to be so cruel."
The black-shirted scholar didn't speak. The man standing behind him said in a feminine voice, "It doesn't matter if we killed someone by mistake. If you don't answer our questions, I'll make your life worse than death."
Liang Wan said angrily, "Who are you and what kind of grudges do you have with me?"
The black-shirted scholar said coldly, "I only ask you one thing, did you kill Liu Piaoxiang?"
Liang Wan was stunned for a moment, she never thought that someone would ask her this question anyway.
