Ning Yao and Ning Ze listened to Su Rong and Fengling talking about such secretive things in front of them without any hesitation, and their voices became softer when they put down their chopsticks and swallowed. Especially Ning Ze, who was almost holding his breath and didn't even dare to take a breath.
What did they hear?
I actually heard that she was planning to go to Northern Hebei to deal with Zhang Ping?
Pingxi General Zhang Ping?
The second prince’s in-law family.
Ning Ze thought about it, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with dealing with him, because they were with the prince. Now that they had brought down the eldest prince, it seemed natural to deal with the second prince.
Fengling let out a laugh and said to Su Rong: "You were right. Heyun County's soldiers and horses, including two thousand county guards and two hundred government soldiers, were all mobilized by the Heyun County Governor Jiang Wei. Yes, the plan is to put us to death. I didn’t expect that the second prince’s power would spread to Heyun County.”
Su Rong said: "It is precisely because of this that the situation in Nanping is not optimistic. Maybe there are people buried in other places not only in Nanping but also in other places who cannot deal with the East Palace. Let's go to Nanping first to help Zhou Gu and Ningchi. Then we will go back to Nanping. Go to Northern Hebei."
"Sure, I'll listen to you." Fengling chuckled, "Sister, are you sure you're not doing it for Young Master Zhou?"
Su Rong glared at him, "I'm doing this for the overall good."
Fengling nodded, "Well, well, you are doing this for the overall good."
He clicked his tongue and said, "Even if you are not doing it for him, he has just arrived in Nanping and you have arrived as well. He may not be happy about it."
He could imagine how happy Zhou Gu was.
Su Rong stopped paying attention to him and concentrated on eating.
Ning Ze looked at Fei Ling in shock, "You, you just said, go to Nanping to help Zhou Yu and Ning Chi? My eldest brother?"
"You heard it right, Prince Nanping, he has taken refuge with the Crown Prince of the East Palace a long time ago." Fengling looked at him like a fool, "Otherwise, do you think we will kindly rescue you? Of course we will send you to Ningchi to take care of you personally. ”
Ning Ze's face turned pale, "I, I said it, he has not suffered at my hands in these years, it is me who has suffered."
"What does this have to do with me? I don't care about the affairs between your brothers." Fengling shrugged, "You'd better be prepared. Please ask your elder brother to be noble and let you go!"
Ning Ze was about to cry, "Will he let me go?"
Fengling took a sip of wine, looked at Ning Ze's pale face, and said speechlessly: "With your appearance, he probably won't bother to do anything to you. Kneel down and beg him. Maybe he won't be too lazy to do anything, just let you go." ”
Ning Ze felt it made sense and nodded, "Yes, I beg him."
Kneel down and beg, cry and beg, it doesn't matter, he can do it now.
Fengling: "..."
This was the first time he had seen such soft bones.
After dinner, several people were tired and took a rest early.
The soldiers guarding the entrance of the gorge did not know that Su Rong had taken a detour, climbed the cliffs, crossed the mountains and ridges, and took the ice road through the outer river, bypassing Heyun County.
Two thousand five hundred soldiers guarded the area for three days, but no trace of Su Rong and others was seen. It was freezing cold, and people were almost freezing. They were cold and hungry, and they couldn't stand it anymore.
The deputy envoy of Heyun County couldn't hold it any longer, so he summoned a soldier and ordered, "Go out and investigate and see what's going on. Why hasn't anyone come yet?"
The recruits took a few people with them and left the gorge entrance to investigate the direction Su Rong and others came from.
A group of five people had just walked more than ten miles when they were killed by Fengling's secret guard who stayed behind to investigate. Then, they simply disposed of the bodies.
The deputy envoy waited for more than an hour, but when the person he sent out did not come back, he called someone over again and ordered him to go down.
After waiting for more than an hour, two groups of people did not come back.
The deputy envoy frowned and sent out a third wave of people to go out to inquire. This time there were more people, a hundred people.
Until most of the day passed, none of the three waves of people came back.
The deputy envoy's face changed. He went back and forth and folded in more than 120 soldiers, but none of them came back after he sent them out. He didn't hear anything. He couldn't stay any longer. With a wave of his hand, he led all the soldiers out of the gorge entrance.
Outside the gorge entrance, there were traces of soldiers walking, and ten miles away, there were obvious traces of fighting.
The deputy's face darkened and he ordered, "Search!"
The soldiers did not dare to act alone. They formed a team of three hundred people and searched the entire area for ten miles, but found nothing.
The deputy envoy's face was extremely ugly, "Your Highness said that Su Rong was very cunning. He was right. I don't know where he hid."
A confidant said: "Sir, what should I do? Do you still want to continue searching? Or should you go back to the entrance of the gorge and continue to guard?"
The deputy envoy gritted his teeth and said, "Search!"
His Highness the Second Highness confessed that Su Rong must be killed. Now one hundred and twenty-one soldiers folded in silently. He could not swallow this breath without searching. Besides, we have been on guard for three and a half days.
The henchman nodded.
So, 2,500 soldiers spread out to search along the entrance of the gorge.
After searching for thirty miles, there was no trace of Su Rong, but the Linyang County Sheriff came from the front with a group of soldiers and horses. When he saw the Heyun County Deputy Envoy with the soldiers and horses, he immediately raised his voice: " I heard someone reported that Zhang Yun, the deputy envoy of Heyun County, secretly mobilized troops and horses to cross the border of Linyang County. I wonder what his intentions were? I still don’t believe it, but now that I have seen it with my own eyes, it is true that he had ulterior motives."
Zhang Yun's face suddenly turned pale, and he thought badly. He was really confused by the cold wind. He forgot that when the county guard sent him out, he must not leave the gorge entrance and cross the boundary to Linyang. This was a violation of the law. Law. It is a serious crime to mobilize troops without permission from the court and to cross the border without permission.
Without saying a word, he immediately turned his horse's head and waved, "Retreat quickly!"
More than two thousand soldiers immediately followed him back.
Sheriff Linyang sneered, showed a token, and said in a loud voice: "Here is the prince's token. Zhang Yun, why don't you get off your horse quickly and wait for me to give you a chance to apologize to your majesty?"
Zhang Yun acted as if he hadn't heard anything and rushed on his horse.
County Sheriff Linyang said: "Zhang Yun, if you refuse to obey the law, don't blame me for being rude." After he finished speaking, he shouted: "Come here, capture Zhang Yun!"
Zhang Yun thought to himself that he must not be captured today. As long as he leaves him today, he will refuse to admit it.
But as soon as he galloped a mile away, he saw dozens of men in black blocking his path in front of him. One of them was extremely skilled in martial arts. Seeing that he was approaching at the lead, he flew head-on to intercept him. Before Zhang Yun could react, At that moment, he jumped on his horse and put his sword on his neck.
Zhang Yun trembled and almost fell off his horse.
The man held him down tightly and said in a dead voice: "Zhang Yun, privately mobilize troops and escort him back to Beijing. Your Majesty, please make your decision!"
Zhang Yun's face turned gray and he thought it was all over.
As the saying goes, "Capture the thief first, capture the king first." Zhang Yun was captured. More than 2,000 soldiers and horses were leaderless for a while. They stood on the spot and never dared to move again.
Sun Chun, the governor of Linyang County, sneered, "Zhang Yun, are you tired of living? Privately sending troops to my territory?"
Zhang Yun was speechless. Since he had the crown prince's token, he was really finished today.
