Chapter 605 Prince Ling
"Don't worry, Princess. Zhao Xu won't be able to escape!" Guo Yang patted his chest and promised, "Princess, I'll go and find out now."
After Guo Yang left, Xiao Jiuyue called Dong Gui and Hua Qing over and asked, "Dong Gui, is there anyone among the secret guards who looks like the prince? Or has a similar body shape?"
Dong Gui paused and said, "Yes, the princess means..."
"The two armies are fighting, and the prince cannot remain unconscious like this. It is inconvenient for me to show up. If we rely on General Wang alone, I am afraid that Jiashui City will be our burial place."
Xiao Jiuyue took a deep breath and said, "We have to prepare for the worst. If the prince doesn't wake up, we have to make other plans!"
"Then, I'll go and bring the person over now." Dong Gui immediately retreated.
"Hua Qing, do you have any human skin masks or something like that?" Xiao Jiuyue asked.
"Yes, but it depends on how much the person resembles the prince!" Hua Qing immediately understood what the princess meant.
"Okay, get some more control medicine, the truth pills, and give it to Zhao Xu to eat. I want to see Zhao Xu later." Xiao Jiuyue lowered her eyes. No matter what kind of deal the prince had reached with him, she had to find out.
"Princess, isn't it inappropriate for you to meet Zhao Xu?" Hua Qing said immediately: "Whether Zhao Xu is sent back to the capital or released, he must not know that you have been here!"
"I won't show my true face to him. You will be responsible for interrogating him when the time comes." When Xiao Jiuyue thought about the 50,000 troops stationed outside Jiashui City, she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
After Hua Qing left, Xiao Jiuyue gently stroked her belly, feeling the little star in her belly was particularly active. She said, "Little star, mother will definitely protect you!"
"Jun Lie, the Xijiang soldiers are coming. You said you would protect me, why don't you wake up?"
Xiao Jiuyue half-lay over the bed, holding his hand and gently stroking her face, saying, "If you don't wake up, I won't protect Jiashui City for you!"
…
"How can I, with only 30,000 men, fight against 50,000 Xijiang soldiers? No, I have to leave, and leave quickly!"
General Wang wanted to leave, but Guo Sheng, who was staring at him, stopped him: "General Wang, the war is about to begin. Where are you going, General Wang?"
The princess was right. General Wang actually wanted to escape from the battlefield.
"Is the prince awake?" General Wang asked instead of answering.
"Of course, I'm here on the orders of the prince to discuss the battle with General Wang!"
As Guo Sheng finished speaking, General Wang's eyes rolled and he said, "That's perfect. I need to go find His Majesty. We are few in number, and facing the Xijiang soldiers, we have no chance of winning. So, you tell His Majesty, I'll go get some reinforcements."
"Jiashui City is now under siege, just like General Wang surrounded Jiashui City before. How is General Wang going to get reinforcements?" Guo Sheng asked sincerely, but disdain rose in his heart.
Look at the bag General Wang is carrying. He dared to bet his life on it. General Wang is not going to ask for help, but to be a deserter.
"This..." General Wang's eyes rolled, and then he glared at Guo Sheng angrily and said, "Why should I tell a mere guard like you about my affairs? Where is the prince? I want to see the prince!"
Prince Ling is really lucky. The second prince of Xijiang launched a surprise attack and besieged the city for more than half a month, but he was captured by Prince Ling. This second prince is really stupid and useless!
He thought Doctor Xu's assassination was foolproof, but who knew that others would see through it at a glance, and even the common people knew about it. Even though he tried his best to distance himself from Doctor Xu, the common people didn't have a good face when they saw him!
General Wang even secretly hoped that the prince would remain unconscious and never wake up, but who knew that he would wake up so soon!
"Lead the way!" General Wang knew he couldn't escape, so he simply gave up. He hadn't completed the Imperial Concubine's order, and if he went back, he might as well lose his life. It would be better to stay. Who knows...
"Wang Yi greets the prince!" General Wang looked at the pale prince sitting on the chair, coughing with his hands covering his face, and muttered to himself: Prince Ling is really lucky.
"cough."
Prince Ling covered his lips and said, "General Wang, the Xijiang troops are coming. What do you think?"
Prince Ling's voice was hoarse, as if he had caught a cold and his throat was damaged. General Wang didn't think much of it and said tactfully, "Your Highness, we are outnumbered and may not be able to defeat them. I think we should go and get reinforcements."
"I am willing to lead the charge and personally go get reinforcements! That way, when the time comes, the prince and I will be together in Jiashui City, attacking the Xijiang soldiers from both sides and annihilating them all in one fell swoop!"
General Wang spoke excitedly, like a master of drawing cakes, and the cakes he drew were big and round. Xiao Jiuyue, who was sitting in the room, listened to these words with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his lips.
"General Wang, if you want to get reinforcements, you can just send someone else. General Wang, if you go there yourself, are you really going to escape from the battlefield as others say?" Prince Ling's hoarse voice was merciless. He didn't even give him the last layer of fig leaf and just went straight in front of him and attacked him.
This was in line with Prince Ling's cold-blooded and ruthless character. General Wang, upon hearing this, immediately said angrily, "Your Highness, you must have heard wrong. Wang Yi is loyal to his king and patriotic. How could he desert a battle?"
"Then send someone else. Otherwise, I am very worried and it will be difficult to quell the people's speculation." Prince Ling blocked all of General Wang's subsequent remarks with just one sentence.
"Ahem." Prince Ling cleared his throat and said, "General Wang, I've already sent people to reinforce the tower's defenses today. We'll discuss the battle tomorrow. General Wang, please return."
After he finished speaking, Guo Yang stood up and made a "please" gesture to General Wang.
General Wang's face was as pale as a palette. Seeing Prince Ling coughing with his hands covering his mouth, he was shouting in his heart: Why don't you just cough yourself to death? Why are you acting like a prince? Aren't you just a dog beside the prince?
Without the support of his mother's family, who in the court would look up to him except his father-in-law, Marquis Xiao?
Last year's battle with Yongzhao was just luck!
General Wang was secretly complaining, but it was just a grumble in his heart. After leaving Prince Ling's residence, he saw Guo Yang following him closely. He said angrily, "Why are you following me?"
"The prince said that he was worried that spies from Xijiang might sneak in, so he protected General Wang." Guo Yang followed him expressionlessly.
"Thank you so much for your kindness, Your Highness. I, a general, don't need anyone else's protection!" General Wang strode towards his residence with a belly full of anger.
After General Wang left, Prince Ling quickly walked into the room and bowed to Xiao Jiuyue: "Princess, did I reveal my true identity just now?"
"Ying Qi, you did a great job!" Xiao Jiuyue praised, saying, "General Wang didn't doubt it just now. Jiashui City is in dire straits now, and he still needs you to play the role of the prince and win this battle!"
