The confidant replied, "Everything is fine. The prince has been staying in the yard quietly these past few days."
"Tell someone to keep a close eye on it. There must be no mistakes, especially with the box that the prince is holding. We must be vigilant and find a way to get it." While Cao Mingyuan was speaking, he had already opened the envelope and the letter.
After just scanning two lines of content, his face changed drastically, and he shouted urgently: "Quickly send someone to notify the army to retreat!"
Gong Zong, who was tied to a wooden stake behind him, saw Cao Mingyuan lose his composure and struggled to open his eyelids to check the contents of the letter.
He could only vaguely see the words "Qinghe Wei Clan" through Cao Mingyuan's shoulder.
"Quick, go and notify the army to retreat to Qichuan County first!"
But it was too late.
Cao Mingyuan had just finished speaking.
A deafening roar came from the direction of the southern border, breaking the silence on the battlefield. One roar followed another, like a landslide, deafening and one after another.
He couldn't help but look up towards the south.
The place was already filled with smoke and flames. Thick smoke could be seen rising up, staining half the sky.
It seemed that a faint wailing sound was heard, but it was soon covered by the roar of monsters. There was a commotion around, and countless monsters were disturbed and ran towards the source of the sound at a rapid speed.
The sound was so loud that it resounded through the sky and even alarmed the entire Gongjiawu Fort.
Everyone on the city wall was stunned, including the six people tied to the stakes.
What is that?
Why is there such a big commotion?
Cao Mingyuan's face turned pale, and he almost gritted his teeth and said, "Qinghe Wei clan!"
Mr. Xiao's letter is still too late.
The letter said that the Wei family put forward conditions and expressed their willingness to help the Hongnong Alliance Army win the battle.
When Mr. Xiao heard this, he noticed something was wrong and wanted to pass the message over immediately, but for some reason, King Cheng'an suddenly asked him to play chess and kept him in the big tent all day without letting him out.
Until just now.
He hurriedly sent the letter while the war broke out on the front line.
Xiao Cheng had realized that something was not right. With a powerful enemy at the doorstep, King Cheng'an didn't even send him and Jiang Xun to the front line to offer advice.
Instead, he abnormally handed over the command of the battlefield to his trusted generals and detained the two men in the camp.
Xiao Cheng instinctively felt that he might have been exposed, but if he did not take action now, the Qinghe Wei family was hiding in the dark, and Cao Mingyuan was not aware of it, so they might suffer a great loss!
He could only take the risk and spread the news.
Cao Mingyuan waved his sleeves and shouted, "What are you doing standing there? Go and notify the army!"
The confidant came to his senses and hurried down to inform them.
Cao Mingyuan's face looked very ugly. He no longer had the mood to stay here. He turned around and walked down the city wall.
The generals leading the army were his two sons, and it was unknown whether they were in trouble after the explosion.
His intuition told him that this matter might be related to his own prince.
As the prince is Wei Wuniang's adviser, how could he not know?
Where are the Qinghe Wei family hiding now?
Cao Mingyuan frowned and walked quickly towards the yard where Chu Yu lived.
My dears!!! I've received your concern! I'm so motivated now and will definitely stick with it until the end. I'm most happy that the rating has increased by 0.1. Thank you all! (Bowing)
