Nangong Yin almost laughed angrily.
He laughed angrily and asked: "So, Ye Yu deserted? The king also fled with him?"
The subordinate said: "I don't know if the king is with us, but I am sure that Ye Xiang and his family all left the military camp with a hundred thousand soldiers and horses."
Nangong Yin immediately ordered, "Send someone to inform He Zhong and bring 100,000 soldiers and horses from Jinglu. Chase them for me. If they catch up with Ye Guixue's soldiers and horses, kill them for me. I want the lives of everyone in the Ye family."
"yes."
"Come here and grind ink for me." Nangong Yin ordered again.
Someone is waiting for the pen and ink immediately.
Nangong Yin immediately wrote a letter to Han Yin, the general sent by Prince Yuan Zhao, asking him to take the 50,000 troops and horses lent to him by Prince Yuan to pursue Ye Guixue. After catching up, he also killed everyone in the Ye family.
After writing the letter, Nangong Yin issued another order, ordering all the secret guards to mobilize in full force to search for the King of Nanchu. Once found, he would be killed immediately.
After issuing three orders in a row, Nangong Yin was still angry. He picked up his pen again and wrote a letter to Prince Yuan Zhao in his own handwriting, ordering someone to send it to the Wei Dynasty as soon as possible.
He felt that things were suddenly out of his control. He was afraid that even though he had done so much, he would not be able to control it anymore, so he sought support from Prince Yuan Zhao.
What's more, he felt in his heart that the fifty thousand troops and horses lent to him by Prince Yuan were not enough at all, and he had to borrow more troops and horses.
King Liu'an has privately raised 50,000 soldiers and horses over the years. These 50,000 soldiers and horses are his confidence.
Behind the backs of the King of Nanchu, the Nangong family, and the Ye Xiangfu, he secretly sent people deep in the mountains to raise 50,000 elite soldiers. He originally thought that after the Nangong family seized the throne, he would use it at the critical moment to catch the Nangong family by surprise and seize the royal power. But now this situation made him feel that things had turned in a direction he had not expected. Does he have to use those 50,000 troops?
After he sent all the secret guards to find King Nan Chu and issued a killing order, he paced back and forth in the study room, struggling whether to use his trump card now or wait until later.
Chu Chu, the eldest son and legitimate son of King Liu'an, came to the study and asked King Liu'an: "Father, we have confirmed that the king indeed left the capital one day and night ago. He should have passed through the secret passage of the palace. Some of his subordinates discovered that he was in Chang'an. There are traces of burning firewood and footprints of people, vehicles and horses in Tingpo.”
"Which direction are you going?" King Liu'an asked.
"It seems to be going to the border of Daliang, but my son thinks that it may be a deception, or to create suspicion." Chu Chu said: "So, I can't be sure yet."
"Then let people continue to investigate." King Liu'an said.
Chu Chu nodded, "My son has given the order."
He looked at King Liu'an and said, "Father, in addition to checking the king's traces, there are also people from the Ye Xiang Mansion waiting for him. Ye Guixue left with one hundred thousand troops and the Ye Xiang Mansion family. The direction has been determined. , We are going to Daliang, we can’t let them go.”
King Liu'an nodded, "Of course we can't let them go. The civil strife in Daliang has been calmed down now. If they are allowed to join Su Rong, it will be a real disaster for us."
Chu Chu said: "I told my father a long time ago that I asked him to unite with Nangong Yin to fight with troops, but he still didn't do it. Now, fortunately, not only has the king disappeared, he has left the palace and the capital, and even Ye Xiang's family has also disappeared. Ran."
King Liu'an said angrily: "It's Nangong Yin who claims that everything is under his control. Now let's see if he is in a hurry."
"He should be more anxious than his father." Chu Chu said: "He has sent He Zhong to lead the soldiers and horses from Jinglu to chase him, and also sent someone to invite Han Yin. He must also have asked him to lead the troops. Chasing Ye Guixue. However, his own fifty thousand soldiers and horses did not move."
"It can be seen that he is guarding against me." King Liu'an immediately decided that the 50,000 soldiers and horses he had raised privately could not be moved.
When something big happened in the capital, Prince Yan immediately sent a message to Zhou Gu at the hidden stake in Daliang.
When Zhou Gu received the letter, he was taking the King of Nan Chu out of a small town thousands of miles away. The grandmother's haggis noodles in this town were very famous. Zhou Gu hit it off with Zhang Yun and took the King of Nan Chu there. Eat haggis noodles.
The King of Nanchu actually wanted to say that he did not like the smell of mutton, but seeing the two young men beside him being very interested, he did not say anything.
Grandma's haggis noodle restaurant is not big, and it is neat and tidy. After sitting down, Zhou Gu said to the waiter: "Three big bowls of haggis noodles, three pots of wine, one plate of braised beef, and one plate of peanuts. A plate of fried wild vegetables.”
"Okay." The boy went immediately.
The King of Nanchu looked at Zhou Gu, "Three bottles of wine?"
Zhou Gu blinked his eyes, "The further north you go, the colder it gets. Drink a pot of wine to keep away the cold, otherwise I'm afraid your body and bones won't be able to bear it."
The King of Nanchu said: "I am in very good health."
Now he no longer claims to be alone in order to avoid being overheard and his identity exposed, and he may be killed.
"Then you should drink more." Zhou Gu had a good reason, "Drink less than two taels to keep fit."
Mainly, he heard that there was a very famous wine in this place called Shilixiang, and he wanted to try it.
The king of Nanchu stopped talking.
Not long after, the boy brought three jugs of wine and side dishes, and King Nan Chu picked up his chopsticks. He has never eaten such rough food in his whole life. Now that he and Zhou Gu came out of the royal capital, they had tasted it all. They even gnawed dry food, not hard raw food. Zhou Gu took good care of his stomach. It was roasted over a fire and three people squatted in the cave to eat it. This was his first experience in his life, because he always walked on mountain roads.
Now that I have traveled thousands of miles and started to visit small towns, this kind of rough rice has become a delicacy compared to eating roasted dry food.
Zhou Gu whispered: "I used to never tire of fine food, but since I met Xiao Qi, I learned from her that I am not so picky. If you can fill your stomach with whole grains when you are hungry, you will be satisfied. You are right. wrong?"
King Nan Chu snorted, "Can I say I'm wrong?"
Regarding this son-in-law, he kept calling him father-in-law, but he didn't restrain himself at all in front of his father-in-law. He treated him like a brother.
"Can't you?" Zhou Gu turned to Zhang Yun and asked, "Brother Zhang Yun, do you think what I said is right? Were you very particular in the past? As a human being, you have to do as the Romans do, right?"
Zhang Yun nodded, "You should do as the locals do, but in the past, I was generally not as particular as you, Brother Zhou."
He is a child without a mother. He has a father and a child without a father. When he was a child, he just wanted not to be hungry, and that was enough. How can he compare with Young Master Zhou, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth at the Duke Protector's Palace?
Zhou Gu chuckled, "Reincarnation is a skill, this is incomparable."
The three of them were chatting, and the boy brought three large bowls of noodles and placed them in front of everyone one by one.
Zhou Gu asked the little boy how to eat this? Can it be spicy? Do you want to put vinegar? After asking for advice on which way to eat is the most authentic, he motioned to the other two, "Okay, just eat it like this, hurry up!"
With that said, he started eating by himself.
After taking one bite, he said, "Oh, it's delicious."
Zhang Yun smelled the aroma, and his stomach was already singing Wu Zang Pu. He quickly picked up his chopsticks, took a big bite, and nodded in agreement, "It's delicious."
King Nan Chu resisted in his heart, but his nose and stomach did not resist. He slowly picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, then paused, and then started eating.
He thought, why did he feel the smell of sheep before? It was obviously very fragrant, but the chef was probably not good enough. When he returned to the palace, he would replace the chef and find one who could make haggis noodles.
