"It doesn't matter! No matter how many there are, in the first battle, we must have the momentum of the Qilin Guards. Even if we use everything, we can't lose the momentum of our Qilin Guards!"
"Understood! Fortunately, there are Hell Roulette and Bed Crossbow available. These things are enough to build momentum!" Nangong Che nodded and said.
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Wang Yunlong, "Your chariot formation is our last trump card in this battle. I tell all brothers that no one can dispatch it at will without my order. If it is used in advance, then we may not be able to hold on." It’s the end!”
"Yes! Follow the Duke's orders in everything you do!" Wang Yunlong said.
Zhao Xuanyi finally looked at Tang Tianli and Sun Yan, "If you encounter the enemy, lead the vanguard to kill me! The long-range weapons are not enough, we still have elite melee soldiers, so we must not be timid!"
"Are you kidding me, Duke? Have we, the Qilin Guards, ever been cowards?" After Tang Tianli said this, everyone laughed!
Zhao Xuanyi nodded, "Okay, that's all for now. Everyone, go back and make preparations. If you need to deploy your subordinates, make arrangements immediately. By the way, let me tell you brothers that if you defeat King Yong'an this time, everyone will receive an additional year's salary!"
"Thank you, Lord!" everyone shouted!
After everyone left, Zhao Xuanyi also walked out of the room, and then came to Zhu Wenyu's room. After entering, he saw Zhu Wenyu sitting at the table drinking tea. His face was full of sadness at this moment!
Lan Chuyin was sitting aside, holding a silk handkerchief in her hand and gently wiping her sword! After seeing Zhao Xuanyi, he didn't say anything and still lowered his head to wipe his sword!
Zhao Xuanyi slowly sat next to Zhu Wenyu. Only then did Zhu Wenyu react. When he saw Zhao Xuanyi, he hurriedly said, "Brother is here!"
"Brother Seven, are you exhausted?" Zhao Xuanyi understood very well that Zhu Wenyu must be very tired at this moment. This tiredness does not refer to the body, but to the heart!
Zhu Wenyu smiled bitterly, "Brother, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. I feel that none of this is true now. We seem to be dreaming. I originally thought that it will be a long time before I succeed to the throne. I can slowly learn how to do it." Be a king!"
"But who knew that everything would change overnight. Now I don't know what to do or how to do it? I'm so confused. I don't even know what my life will be like in the future!"
Zhao Xuanyi smiled and patted Zhu Wenyu's shoulder gently, "I know Brother Qi that you are very tired now, but you will probably be even more tired in the future! But it doesn't matter, I will always be by Brother Qi's side to assist you!"
"Thank you brother!" Zhu Wenyu patted Zhao Xuanyi's arm.
"By the way, Seventh Brother, I'm here to tell you about my plan!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"what's the plan?"
"I have already thought about what will happen tomorrow! Is this...?" Zhao Xuanyi began to tell Zhu Wenyu about his plan!
At dusk, an eagle came over Shandong and returned directly to the Far East Military Camp. A soldier took down the mailbox next to the eagle's talons and poured out three notes from it. One of them was addressed to Tang Rou, Another one of these for the eldest princess! The last one is written for the Far Eastern Army!
The Far East Army opened it and watched it carefully. Then they understood Tang Mi's plan and immediately summoned everyone! He handed two of the notes to a soldier, "You, immediately take these two notes and rush to the capital, go to the Protector's Mansion, and give them to Tang Rou. Don't worry about the rest. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
"Put on three horses. They won't stop even if they are tired. Go to the capital quickly! When you arrive in the capital, the city gate will be closed. The eldest lady's letter will be stamped with the prince's seal on the back, and it will be shown to the soldiers guarding the city. They will open the city gate and let you in!"
"Yes!" After the soldier collected everything, he turned around and left the military camp, taking three fast horses with him and heading straight for the capital!
"Next, immediately send twenty people on fast horses to Yingtianfu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Henan, Shanxi, Huguang and other places to spread the news that the prince has returned in triumph and will meet the Protector tomorrow morning Arrive in Shandong, remember, you must be quick, we must spread to all these places tonight!"
"But General, even if the horses are exhausted in one night, it's impossible to reach them all!"
"Then use carrier pigeons, use notices, no matter what method you use, we must spread this news as far as possible. The farther the better, go!"
"Yes!" This group of soldiers has already started a plan in this dusk!
At this moment in Shanxi, King Yong'an and his army are resting and recuperating. They are only a few dozen kilometers away from the capital. They are just around the corner. There is only one reason why King Yong'an is waiting here, and that is to wait for the news of the emperor's death. As long as he enters the city The secret agent spread the news that he could capture the capital within a few hours!
You can find any reason at that time, such as protecting the royal family from being bullied by outsiders, or escorting the prince to a critical attack, but if Zhu Chufeng is not dead, you can't enter. After all, it is treason! Shichu Wuming, even if he takes the capital, all the vassal kings will use the so-called just reasons to attack him!
I don’t know what’s going on in the capital now? Zhu Tianyou was still waiting patiently. He had many soldiers at the moment, and he was so close to the capital, as if the capital was now in his pocket! Zhu Tianyou seemed to have seen himself wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair!
At night, Zhu Tianyou was drinking in his big tent, looking at the Ming Dynasty's territory in front of him, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Qi Haobi's voice came, "Father, I have something urgent to report!"
"Come in!" Zhu Tianyou shouted.
Qi Haobi walked into the big tent and said, "Let me tell my adoptive father that something bad has happened!"
"Oh? What happened?"
"Just now our people sent a message from Feige, saying that the Crown Prince and the Protector of the Kingdom defeated Japan and have now returned in triumph. They will arrive in Shandong early tomorrow morning and will directly send troops to the capital!" Qi Haobi said.
"What?" Zhu Tianyou stood up from the chair, "Zhao Xuanyi is back so soon?"
"yes!"
"Is the news reliable?"
"It's spread all over the south, it's probably not fake!"
"So the assassination team we sent has failed?"
"It should...yes!" Qi Haobi said with her head lowered.
When Zhu Tianyou heard the news, his head ached a lot. He was not afraid of King Yongle or King Taikang. The only person who gave him the most headache was Zhao Xuanyi, and his Qilin Guards, who were the most difficult to deal with. of!
Qi Haobi walked over slowly, "Father, how about we send some troops to stop the Qilin Guards? At least we can't let them come near the capital!"
After Zhu Tianyou heard this, he looked at Qi Haobi, "Then who do you think we should send?"
Qi Haobi's eyes rolled, "Father, we still have our own soldiers to attack the city, so why not send the people we just recruited? Although they are bandits and bandits, they still number hundreds of thousands after all, so they should be able to stop them." Live in Zhao Xuanyi!"
"As for the capital, let's finally ask Meng Yingying to see what's going on inside. It doesn't matter if we wait here all the time. The so-called strike first is the advantage!"
When Zhu Tianyou heard Qi Haobi's words, his face became very tangled, "This... wait for your adoptive father to think carefully before making a decision. You first send out those people who have been recruited, and immediately go to Shandong to stop Zhao Xuanyi's Qilin Guards. They are fighting continuously in Japan." After so many months, they must be exhausted, and now is the time when they are most vulnerable to being breached!"
"Yes! My son, go now!" Qi Haobi said and walked out of the military tent!
Zhu Tianyou sat on the chair and began to think seriously. After all, he couldn't be confused at this time, otherwise all the planning for so many years would be in vain!
At this moment, outside the capital, a fast horse came to the city gate. Before he could say anything, he saw hundreds of Qilin guards rushing out of the woods on the side. Everyone swarmed up and surrounded the soldier. "Who is it? Get off the horse." Check!"
The soldier immediately dismounted and held up a piece of white paper in his hand with a seal on it, "I am the Far Eastern Army. This time, I am ordered by the prince to transmit important military information to the capital. Please open the city gate quickly!"
The Qilin Guard came up to check carefully and found that it was indeed the prince's seal. He immediately waved to the soldiers at the city gate, "Open the city gate quickly!"
"Yes!" With the Qilin Guard's inspection, the city guard
The soldiers did not hesitate and immediately opened the city gate!
The Far Eastern Army hurriedly mounted their horses, their faces filled with gratitude, "Thank you, brother!"
"Brother, you're welcome, go quickly! Everyone, take cover immediately!" Qilin Guard shouted.
"Yes!" Hundreds of Qilin Guards were once again hiding in the wilderness outside the city gate.
After the soldiers entered the capital, they did not dare to run around. They came directly to the gate of the Duke Protector's Mansion. Then they got off their horses. The Qilin Guard at the door saw someone coming and hurriedly came over. "Brother, you have come to the Duke Protector's Mansion." Is there something wrong?"
The man hurriedly took out the letter, "I am the Far Eastern Army, and I have an important letter in my hand for your fourth wife! Please take me to see her!" After saying this, the man took out the letter in his hand!
When the Qilin Guard saw that the letter was printed with Zhao Xuanyi's big seal, he did not dare to neglect it. After a simple search, he took the person to the hall!
At this moment, Tang Rou was resting in the room with her child in her arms. Now Zhao Xuanyi has not been back for almost half a year. Tang Rou always puts her child next to her when sleeping at night, so that she feels safe. Although she is very worried about Zhao Xuanyi, she also I don’t know what’s going on with him over there!
The Qilin Guard came to the backyard, stood outside Tang Rou's yard, and shouted loudly, "Fourth Madam? Fourth Madam, please get up!"
After hearing this, Hucka and Hakney immediately got up, put on their coats and walked out of the room. They saw a Qilin guard standing outside the yard. The two sisters were very unhappy, "What are you shouting for? Didn't you see what time it was?"
"I'm really sorry, two sisters. The Duke sent a secret message and asked it to be handed over to the Fourth Madam. Please ask the Fourth Madam to take a look!" Qilin Guard said.
"What? Is there a letter from my brother-in-law?" After hearing this, Hakeem immediately turned around and came to Tang Rou's room! After entering the room, he lit the candle, and when he saw that Tang Rou was still sleeping, he hurriedly pushed Tang Rou's arm, "Sister, sister, wake up!"
Tang Rou woke up leisurely and saw Hakeem next to her. She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything going on so late?"
"Brother-in-law has sent a letter, asking you to check it out in person!"
"Really?" After hearing this, Tang Rou felt no longer sleepy. She immediately stood up and put on her coat, "Look at the child!"
"Yes!" Hakko nodded.
Tang Rou came outside the courtyard and saw the Qilin Guard: "Where is the letter?"
"The messenger is in the lobby!"
"Let's go!" Tang Rou followed the Qilin Guard to the hall. She saw a man in the hall holding a teapot and drinking heavily. Looking at the man's journey, he must have come from afar! "Brother, are you the messenger?"
"Are you the Duke's fourth wife?"
"it's me!"
The man looked at it. Such a beautiful beauty should be indispensable. This is the palace of the Protector of the Country! Then he took out the two pieces of paper and said, "My master asked me to send these!"
Tang Rou took it over and took a look, only to see her name written on one piece of paper, and the eldest princess written on the other piece of paper! There was also Zhao Xuanyi's seal. Tang Rou was very happy, thinking that this heartless person finally knew how to write to herself!
"Look at how hard this brother is working. Come and cook some food for him. He must be very hungry!" Tang Rou said with a smile.
"Thank you, Fourth Madam!" the man nodded.
"Brother, come with me. Let's go to the kitchen and make you something to eat!" Qilin Wei said very politely.
"Thank you very much!" The man followed the Qilin Guard and left!
At this moment, Tang Rou didn't know what was happening in the capital. She thought that what Zhao Xuanyi wrote to her was a love letter, and there was actually a love letter from the eldest princess. She was really careless. After opening her secret letter, she only glanced at it a few times, which frightened Tang Rou. I'm so excited I didn't faint!
My heart was beating wildly, and my eyes were full of astonishment. I didn't expect that I lived in the capital, and that such a big thing happened outside, and I didn't notice it at all. Zhao Xuanyi told me!
