After the Jin envoy finished speaking, he lightly twisted his fingertips and smashed the small letter in his hand.
Wang Heng looked sideways at Elder Xu, wanting to confirm. Seeing Elder Xu gently shaking his head, he knew that the messenger pigeon in the Jin envoy's hand was not one of his own. After thinking for a moment, he stood up and asked, "This letter..."
"The letter is written by your Majesty. Our Jin cavalry has been ordered to set off. We will arrive in Yanbei in ten days. Prince, we only have ten days left..." The Jin envoy spoke softly. Although his tone was soft, it was not tolerated. doubt.
Wang Heng knew that this was not the time to argue, as the Jin envoy said that the Jin army was about to start, but at the moment he still had no clue about He Ji. After a moment of silence, Wang Heng stood up, turned to Xu Mo and ordered: "Let the people in the city take action immediately. Within seven days, we will definitely find He Ji’s whereabouts..."
"Sir, wait a minute." Seeing that Xu Mo was about to accept the order and leave, the Jin envoy spoke to stop him.
Xu Mo was already resentful of his defeat at the hands of the Jin envoy. When he heard him say something to stop him, he twirled his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said indifferently with a provocative tone: "Why, my lord gave the order yourself, but then blocked it?" , but why, don’t you have a better way?”
The Jin envoy looked at Xu Mo's narrow-mindedness and just smiled faintly. He turned to Wang Heng and said, "Don't touch the young master's manpower unless it is at a critical moment. Maybe we will need these men to escape after we accomplish the task." Not to mention, we don’t need to look for that season anymore..."
Wang Heng was shocked when he heard this: "Why? Isn't it just for He Ji and the Yanbei defense plan that I'm here for? And didn't I just say that..."
The Jin envoy pondered for a moment and raised his eyes slightly: "Have you forgotten the message sent to Gaodeng outside the city?"
This time, he did not stop talking until he reached three points as before. Instead, he told Wang Heng and his two men all their plans.
"Yanbei City is impregnable, and Qi Yun has been working hard for many years, not to mention that picture... It is really a fool's dream to think that Shan Bin can break through Yanbei and go south... even if Shan Bin can defeat Yanbei... The danger is that if we cooperate with the Jin cavalry inside and outside, it will only force the dog to jump over the wall. When the time comes, a hundred thousand troops and horses will counterattack and fight for their lives, which is not something ordinary people can bear..." The Jin envoy mentioned the Yanbei defense plan and passed by. Bring the topic to Shan Bin.
"What? Then...why do you want to lure Shan Bin to rebel against Qi? If Shan Bin is gone and Yanbei changes generals, won't it be more difficult to join Qi in the future?" Wang Heng was puzzled.
There seemed to be a strange light shining in the eyes of the Jin envoy: "Shan Bin is brave but not resourceful, and he loves great achievements. Wan Jun never used him when he was there, and Emperor Qi Yun only regarded him as a disposable son. Do you really think that without Wan Jun, Shan Bin can take over the post of commander-in-chief of Qiyun North Territory?"
"My lord, what you mean is..."
The Jin envoy Fu Xu smiled and said: "The Lord once said that even if he is an abandoned son, he still has value... Therefore, we only need to make Yanbei a big mess. If He Ji is not a waste, then Yanbei will be in chaos, and he will Of course there is a way to escape from Yanbei and go north, and we..."
Wang Heng's eyes flashed, and he finally understood that the Jin envoy, no, it was the master's plan. He sincerely admired the master's plan and murmured: "I see, no wonder you asked me to send a message to Gao Deng. Now that Gao Deng has defected, he learned that Shan Bin wanted to betray Qi Yun, and he will definitely lead his troops to Yanbei again... When Shan Bin knew that the matter was exposed and had no way out, he could only spend everything he had to escort him to Yanbei. On my cavalry of Jin."
"Yes, in order to survive, Shan Bin would naturally block the patrolling troops in the south and resist Qi Yun's 100,000 troops in Yan's northern camp from the north, waiting for our Jin army to come to support... But how did he know that He Ji took advantage of the chaos and came out of Yan? Bei, my cavalry of Jin will retreat with the trend, and by then, the abandoned son will truly become the abandoned son." The Jin envoy sneered, as if he had seen Shan Bin's desperate look on the day when the chess game ended, and continued to speak.
"Control unity with unity, use people's hearts to control people's hearts. This plan of the Lord is really exquisite. Since the day Shan Bin sealed the city, the plan has been completed. Now it is no longer possible for Shan Bin to resist. But... these ten days, We still need to add more fire..."
Wang Heng hurriedly said: "How to add..."
The Jin envoy carefully took out the bright yellow scroll from his arms and motioned for Wang Heng to come closer.
As the bright yellow scroll slowly opened, Wang Heng's pupils also gradually shrank. The seal... was covered by the jade seal of Jin. In panic, Wang Heng's head was about to fall.
He knelt down, but the Northern Jin envoy held him up with his arms.
"This is the new firewood that will extinguish the charcoal fire..." Jin Shi's eyes moved slightly and turned to Wang Heng.
It was clearly talking about firewood, but Wang Heng saw the coldness in the eyes of the Jin envoy, which made people dare not look directly. He moved his eyes towards the bright yellow scroll and said, "Is this... fake?"
"No...it's true. Master, if you look carefully, you'll know what it means." The coldness in the Jin envoy's eyes became even stronger.
Wang Heng looked at the writing in the Minghuang scroll until he saw Shan Bin's name, and he couldn't help but read softly: "By the destiny of heaven, the emperor decreed...Shan Bin's achievements have touched the world, and Shan Bin is made King of the Wild Goose. He is hereditary..."
At this point, Wang Heng finally understood that before arriving in Yanbei, the Lord had already laid out this situation. With this edict, how could Shan Bin not do his best? While lamenting that the Lord had far-reaching plans, Wang Hengxin Fear and fear arose together.
The Lord has seen through people’s hearts and exhausted their humanity.
Shan Bin loves fame and fortune, so the Lord uses fame and fortune as bait. When the incident in Yanbei is over, it will be the day Shan Bin dies. The same is true for his father and son. For the great cause of the Lord, his father and himself sneak into Qiyun After many years, when one day the master succeeds, will he and his son also end up in the same situation...
The Jin envoy looked at Wang Heng next to him with twinkling eyes, and naturally saw his intentions, and said quietly: "Shan Bin is not from our Jin Dynasty, so his thoughts must be different, but the prince and his lord are both the cornerstones of our Jin Dynasty." , not only in front of me, but also after I, Jin, will unify the world in the future, I will definitely be a hero of my dynasty, you don’t have to worry too much, sir..."
The Jin envoy saw through his thoughts at a glance. He thought that the Jin envoy in front of him was just a martial artist like all the Qiyun martial arts men his father had snagged, but he didn't expect that his eyes were so sharp. He quickly calmed down and was careful in his heart, and said : "How could it be? I'm just thinking about when is the most appropriate time to hand over this edict to Shan Bin."
Seeing that Wang Heng was unwilling to mention his worries, the Jin envoy did not elaborate further. Instead, he looked at the Yanbei and South Gate illuminated by fire and said, "Of course it will be ten days later when our Jin cavalry arrives at the border of Qi and Jin." day..."
Although the bright moon in early spring has slightly faded away from the cold east, it cannot take away the coldness in people's hearts. Another homing pigeon flew from the south, hovered for a while, and gradually landed in Tongguxuan.
"Young master, you are indeed reliable in your work. I think tonight or tomorrow morning, Gao Deng's patrol will be able to reach the outside of Yanbei City again..." Looking at the secret note in his hand, the Jin envoy spoke with appreciation. After finishing speaking, he handed the secret note in his hand to Wang Heng and the others.
Wang Heng took the secret note and hurriedly read it, his eyebrows filled with joy. It was written in the secret note that it was Gao Deng who broke out the stronghold overnight and the patrol troops marched towards Yanbei City, just as the Jin envoy expected...
Then he thought about the fact that he and his father had worked hard for many years, but they could not defeat the person in front of him. He was a little discouraged, but he still asked the envoy of Jin: "What should the people in my sect do to cooperate with the Lord?" count?"
The Jin envoy signaled Wang Heng to come closer again, and whispered in his ear: "So, so, so, so, so, so, so..."
The spring night is still cold, and the clouds are clear and cold.
In Shan Mansion, Shan Bin was holding the rich man's concubine, Wen Wen, feeling the tenderness on the beauty's body. Perhaps only the woman's tenderness could ease his uneasiness at the moment... The sound of rapid footsteps came, breaking the Shan Bin was in a good mood and was about to angrily scold the servant who was so blind when he came in at this moment and heard the sound of soldiers reporting from outside the door.
After hearing the report, Shan Bin no longer had any desire for beauty, but stood up from the couch and exclaimed: "What did you say? Gao Deng broke out the stronghold overnight and rushed to Yanbei City again?"
"Yes, the patrol led by Gordon is only ten miles away from Yanbei City."
The soldiers outside the door knelt down with a military salute and spoke solemnly. After reporting truthfully for a moment, they saw that the door in front of them was kicked open instantly. Shan Bin was wearing only a thin middle coat, with his chest exposed, his eyes wide open and he said angrily: "Gao Deng actually said If he dares to disobey military orders, is it possible that he wants to rebel?"
The cold wind swept into the room, causing the beauty to scream and use the brocade quilt to protect herself. Shan Bin, who was already upset, became even more irritable. He was about to turn around and scold him, but then he thought that Gordon's patrol was only ten miles away. , snorted coldly, puffed up his sleeves and said, "Go ahead and guard the city gate strictly. I will arrive immediately after I put on my clothes."
"Got the order!" The soldiers took the order and left.
maid in the palace
The servants got the armor and changed Shan Bin's clothes. In Shan's mansion, even the maids were all beautiful girls, but Shan Bin was not in the mood to appreciate the beauties around him. He kept thinking about Gordon's late-night rate. The purpose of the army's return to Yanbei.
"Did he discover something and be alerted?" Shan Bin muttered to himself, but then he thought to himself to comfort himself.
"No, this matter is extremely secretive. Don't say that all the generals in Yanbei City are servants of our government. They don't know the identity of the Jin envoys, and Gao Deng will not notice it. Besides, he sent General Sun to go there last night. The general's order was passed... What on earth could make Gordon ignore his own military orders and rashly come again..."
Shan Bin's mind was racing, trying to find some clues, so the servants put on the armor for him and still kept his arms open. It was not until the servants reminded him softly that he came back to his senses.
"What's supposed to come will eventually come, but before that, it's better to meet the Jin Envoy." Shan Bin's eyes flickered and he was undecided, naturally thinking of the Jin Envoy.
At this time, another servant came to report that outside the general's mansion, someone said that he was the general's close friend from the north and asked to see him. Shan Bin was overjoyed when he heard this and hurried outside the mansion to greet him.
When he arrived outside the mansion, he saw none other than the envoy of Jin. He screened away the servants in the mansion and hurriedly stepped forward, raised his arms and said, "Your Excellency, you are here just in time, sir..."
Just as he was about to speak, he was interrupted by the Jin envoy: "It's a coincidence that today, when I was watching the sky at night, I noticed that the northern star was shining brightly, the southern star was dim, but the general star in the pair of stars was flickering bright and dim. It's hard to make a decision on what I'm encountering, so I come to disturb you late at night."
Shan Bin was faced with Gao Deng's matter and was in a dilemma. He didn't care about the Jin envoy's words and hurriedly said: "My lord, you are really good at predicting things. Gao Deng actually disobeyed military orders and led the patrol to Yanbei... .I would be worried...Worried about whether he has noticed."
"I'm here just for this matter. I see you are dressed like this...do you want to...go to Yanbei Tower to meet Gao Deng?" The Jin envoy saw Shan Bin, who was covered in robes, and his eyes moved slightly. He asked without haste or delay.
Shan Bin replied truthfully: "That's natural. This Gao Deng is coming with his troops. If we don't drink him back, I'm afraid he will..."
"Hahaha, is General Shan still afraid that that idiot will lead his army to attack the city? This is Yanbei City. Not to mention that the general's soldiers are twice as many as Gao Deng's, even if Gao Deng has several times the strength, it is difficult to break through Yanbei. It's like ascending to heaven." The Jin envoy said calmly.
"This is natural, but what I'm worried about is..." Shan Bin was still thinking about his retreat at this moment. If he did such a treasonous act, he would be scolded by future generations.
The Jin envoy knew the little Jiujiu in Shan Bin's heart, and took over the message: "General Shan is worried that if Gao Deng comes here, will he discover my existence, so that General Shan can't have both sides?"
After being seen through by the Jin envoy, Shan Bin was speechless and suddenly thought of retreating. He might as well capture the Jin envoy, just to find the best excuse for himself to seal off Yanbei City.
