Once this news leaks out, Zhao, Qi, Chu, Wei, and Han will surely rise up. By then, Dayan will face the disaster of national destruction!
Prince Hui sat beside the bed with a frown on his face. He did not dare write a letter to tell his father in the capital about the Ninth Master's serious illness.
If the letter is intercepted by criminals, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Uncle Ninth!" King Hui shouted at the unconscious Ninth Master, "You're not taking your medicine just for a woman! Is it worth it? Think about Dayan! Think about Dayan, which you've defended for over ten years! Uncle Ninth, do you want Dayan to be destroyed? Get up and take your medicine!"
Master Jiu held Fu Tong'er's red pearl hairpin in his hand and murmured, "Tong'er...stay."
King Hui touched Jiu Ye's forehead and said loudly, "Why haven't you brought the cold water yet?"
A servant was holding a flying dragon basin with a brocade handkerchief on it.
He hurried in and put it aside.
King Hui went over and twisted it, then placed it on Jiu Ye's forehead.
Not a single bird could fly out of the headquarters.
Wei Shichang, the county magistrate, was in the yamen when a memorial he had submitted was returned. He was listening to a report: "Sir, the headquarters will be guarded by the imperial guards from today onwards. We can't get our memorial in!"
Wei Shichang paced back and forth, feeling puzzled. Why had things gotten so strict out of nowhere? Could it be that the Regent, the Ninth Prince Chun, was beginning a thorough reckoning with Marquis Dingnan?
Humph, he won't stop until he brings down that bastard grandson of the Duke of Dingnan! Why should others get a bigger share? He can't! If the share isn't even, then no one will have a good life!
Wei Shichang slammed his fist on the table.
Jian Weiying, the eldest daughter of the Jian family, did not wait for Fu Tong'er and You Yi to come to her house, so she sent someone to the headquarters. She found that it was heavily guarded, so she immediately wrote a letter and went to Dingnan Marquis's Mansion.
The letter was received by Marquis Dingnan's third daughter, Princess Tingyang Mu Yingge. After seeing the letter, she began to think. The headquarters was suddenly guarded by the imperial guards. Could it be that Master Jiu was going to launch an attack on Marquis Dingnan's mansion tonight?
So he quickly handed the letter to his father, Prince Dingnan, who was in the study.
Concubine Shu was sitting on the high couch in the study, eating the crystal cake sent by the cook, and asked, "But what happened to my son?"
The Duke of Dingnan burned the letter, picked up his pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote as he spoke: "It's all right, sister, just relax."
After finishing the letter, he sent it to the governor's mansion immediately. Zuo Qianyu was practicing horse stance in the rain with his five-year-old eldest son Zuo Ang in the mansion.
Mrs. Liu, the eldest wife, was waiting with tea in hand.
Suddenly, a servant from the palace came running in: "Master, there's a letter from the Dingnan Marquis's Mansion."
Zuo Qianyu said to his son Zuo Ang: "You continue."
Then he came over to take Liu's tea, drank it, read the letter, and finally said to his son Zuo Ang: "Practice until noon!"
After saying that, he put the teacup in Liu's hand!
Go to the outskirts of Shangyang County to mobilize troops.
For a time, Shangyang County was heavily guarded everywhere.
Two forces confront each other.
The Dingnan Marquis’ Mansion was filled with soldiers under General Zuo Qianyu.
Dingnan Marquis Mansion
Marquis Dingnan sent a maid to the headquarters. The maid left the Dingnan Mansion under the pretext of buying thread, went to the market with an umbrella, and headed to the headquarters where the Ninth Master was staying during his southern tour.
I originally wanted to meet a maid coming out of there.
Who would have thought that within a hundred meters of the headquarters, it was strictly sealed off by Jiu Ye's imperial guards.
No one can get close.
She kept watch for a whole day.
No one was seen coming out.
I didn't see anyone go in.
She immediately went back to report to the Duke of Dingnan.
Zuo Qianyu was sitting in the study. Concubine Shu glanced at him indifferently, then stood up and said, "Since you have something to do here, I'll leave first."
Dingnan Houwang came over slowly. He was old and his movements were slow. He walked up to Concubine Shu, wiped the tea stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Hmm."
After Concubine Shu left, Prince Dingnan slowly walked to the desk and asked, "How many people did you select?"
