Seeing Kang Min's fingers tighten slightly, Duan Zhengchun's face turned red and he was almost out of breath, but Duan Yu had no intention of stopping, and the situation instantly became tense.
Damn it!
The smile on Kang Min's face faded, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost. He thought to himself, is the other party really not afraid that he will kill Duan Zhengchun?
At this time, the two were only ten feet away from each other, and Duan Yu was able to rescue Duan Zhengchun easily. However, feeling that he had a chance to win, he approached step by step, vowing to let Kang Min release him personally.
"Today you..."
"Your Majesty has ordered everyone to stop!"
The corner of Duan Yu's mouth raised, and just when he was about to put down his harsh words, a shout came from outside the courtyard, and a group of soldiers rushed into the palace to stop everyone from continuing to attack.
But I saw a middle-aged man with three long beards and a handsome appearance striding out of the crowd. It was Shanchanhou Gao Shengtai, the leader of the three princes of Dali.
Duan Yu's expression suddenly changed, and he said with some confusion, "Uncle Gao, the palace is capturing a few thieves today. This won't alert the guards of the imperial city, right?"
Gao Shengtai pretended not to see Duan Zhengchun being held hostage, and hurriedly replied, "Prince, don't be alarmed, something big happened outside the city. His Majesty specially ordered me to invite the prince and prince to meet him outside the city gate, along with several distinguished guests from the palace. Take them with you." ?.?????.ℂ??
When Gao Shengtai talked about this matter, he couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. The panic in his eyes obviously meant that something big had happened. Otherwise, given his high position as the leader of the Three Dukes of Dali, he wouldn't be in such embarrassment.
Duan Yu knew in his heart that something was wrong, but it seemed that the matter had reached an extremely serious stage, otherwise his uncle would not have sent Marquis Shanchan to come in person, and even brought the Imperial City Army.
He walked up to Gao Shengtai and asked in a low voice, "Uncle Gao, tell me what's going on that's so disturbing?"
Gao Shengtai said, "The prince may act on his own initiative. Please forgive me for not saying it clearly. It is better to take these girls outside the city quickly! When we get there, the prince will know everything."
Duan Yu felt angry in his heart, but seeing Gao Shengtai's attitude, he was afraid that he would not give him a chance to refuse, so he had no choice but to look gloomy and stop talking.
Gao Shengtai then came to Duan Zhengchun who was being held hostage, and said to Kang Min, "Please let my prince go. Everything is a misunderstanding. Please follow me to the outside of the city gate and you will all understand."
Kang Min wasn't afraid of what tricks they would play, and Duan Zhengchun couldn't threaten Duan Yu, so he let him go.
After seeing that several key figures were not injured, Gao Shengtai felt as if he was receiving an amnesty. He quickly led the way and followed the Imperial City Army to the outside of the north gate.
I saw a majestic heavily armored cavalry army lined up outside the city, with a total of five thousand people.
Although the whole army was just in formation and did not charge directly, the military might that changed the color of the world swept over like a wave of wild sand, making everyone's hearts tremble.
It seems that this cavalry army of five thousand people is enough to withstand thousands of troops.
When Duan Yu saw this iron-blooded cavalry, his expression changed. He came to Duan Zhengming and asked, "Uncle, which country's iron-blooded cavalry is this? How come it appears in our territory of Dali?"
Duan Zhengming said with a very solemn expression, "This is the Xixia Iron Cavalry, the Iron Harrier Army."
"The Xixia Iron Harrier Army? How did they come to our Dali country? Why did the border guard directly let them into the pass without reporting it?"
Duan Yu had naturally heard of this frightening army. Perhaps the Xixia Iron Harrier Army today was not as powerful as when the founding emperor Li Yuanhao was in power, but it was by no means something that Dali could resist. This Iron Harrier Army of five thousand people If they come to attack, even if the Dali Kingdom is not destroyed, it will definitely be damaged and the country's foundation will be damaged.
Duan Zhengming also didn't know how this cavalry entered Dali. If the border guard turned out to be a traitor, there was only one possibility, that is, the border was lost.
Seeing that Duan Zhengming didn't seem to understand the reason, Duan Yu had no choice but to ask, "Uncle, I wonder why you summoned me and dad here in such a hurry?"
Duan Zhengming said with anger hidden in his eyes, "Did you capture Princess Yinchuan of Xixia Kingdom?"
Duan Yu was startled for a moment and said hurriedly, "Uncle Mingjian, my father and I have stayed in Dali and haven't left. How can we go to Yanbei to capture Princess Yinchuan of Xixia Kingdom?"
He quickly recalled the several women around Wang Yuyan. Their identities were basically clear, and there was no Princess Yinchuan whose name he only heard but whose appearance he never saw.
"Really? Are you sure that none of these women is Princess Yinchuan of Xixia Kingdom?"
Duan Zhengming glanced at Wang Yuyan and the others behind him, and looked at Duan Yu and his son with some anger.
The two hurriedly reported the identities of Wang Yuyan and others one by one, proving that there was no Princess Yinchuan among them.
Duan Zhengming's frown deepened.
"Then why did the Iron Harrier Army of Xixia say that you captured their Princess Yinchuan?"
Duan Yu said, "I really don't know. Uncle, can you please ask the commander of the Iron Harrier Army to come forward and speak so that we can ask clearly?"
Duan Zhengming didn't want Dali to be an enemy of Xixia for no reason. Seeing that Duan Yu and the others seemed to really know nothing, he had no choice but to send envoys out of the city to ask the commander of the Iron Harrier Army to negotiate.
Not long after, a burly man with a resolute face rushed to the top of the city with a war horse and shouted, "Who is the Emperor of Dali?"
Although Duan Zhengming felt that it was a bit rude for him to ask such a question, he still forced a smile and said, "I'm just here. What do you call me General?"
"My name is Wei Ming A Wu, and I have been ordered by Helian Zhengdong to welcome Princess Yinchuan back to my country!"
The visitor shouted loudly, it was the man Li Yanzong who had met Murong Fu under a pseudonym outside the Queen Mother's Palace.
Duan Yu said, "It turns out that he is General Wei Ming. I am the crown prince of Dali. I wonder where the general got the news that Princess Yinchuan from your country is in Dali? There is no Princess Yinchuan in Dali. I want to come here." There must be some misunderstanding."
Weiming Awu said, "When I, the commander, was talking to your emperor, when did you, a mere prince, interfere?"
"The news from Xixia Yipintang is absolutely correct. If you say that Dali has captured our princess, you have captured it. How dare you make excuses here? Do you really think that our Iron Harrier Army is a vegetarian?"
Duan Yu looked ugly. If he hadn't been worried about the thousands of Iron Harriers behind him, he would have killed him with one palm.
Duan Zhengming saw that Duan Yu was not able to speak, so he had to negotiate in person, "I wonder if General Wei Ming has more accurate information? Although Dali is only a small country in the south, it is not easy to find someone in a country." , if Princess Yinchuan is really in our Dali, we will hand it over ourselves and dare not hide it."
Wei Ming A Wu said, "I heard that the king of Zhennan in your country is naturally lustful and a shameless lecher, and his son is even more like his father and has a bad conduct."
"According to the news I received from Xixia Yipintang, the father and son arrested many beautiful women and hid them in the house a few days ago, and our princess was arrested on her way back to her hometown to visit relatives. This matter is absolutely true. Is it possible that it has not happened until now? Do you still want to tell lies with your eyes open?"
Hearing this, Duan Zhengming immediately looked back at Duan Zhengchun and his son, with a bit of panic in his eyes.
