Xiao Yunze rode at full speed all the way.
When we arrived at the palace gate, we met a carriage.
An old man who looked old but still vigorous got down from the carriage.
Xiao Yunze was a little surprised and stepped forward, "Old Master Hou? Why are you..."
Old Master Hou said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, the situation is urgent. Let's go into the palace first and talk while we walk."
Xiao Yunze nodded, "Okay."
It seems that Old Master Hou also came here for the war in the north.
Because of his father's fear, Old Master Hou has not entered the court for many years. Now he has entered the palace in person. The matter must be far more serious than he imagined.
Xiao Yunze had just come out of the palace and didn't know the specific situation of the war.
As I listened to what Old Master Hou said along the way, I realized that the situation was far more serious than I had imagined.
Beiliang led an army of 300,000 to invade Daqing. They were unstoppable and had already captured three cities in succession. If they continued, they would only have to capture two more cities before reaching the capital!
Danger!
Xiao Yunze frowned, "Why is there no information at all?"
Old Master Hou also shook his head and sighed.
At this time, Zhuque, who was following behind him, said, "Master, Beiliang has sealed off the entire city and no one is allowed to enter or leave. One of our soldiers barely escaped death and brought back information!"
Xiao Yunze frowned. "Didn't Wei Kingdom mobilize 50,000 troops to the north when it invaded Fenzhou? How could they be so vulnerable?"
Old Master Hou snorted disdainfully.
Zhuque swallowed his saliva and continued, "According to the soldiers who escaped back, the soldiers of Beiliang are very strange. They only know how to attack, not defend, and they don't seem to be afraid of pain. They can't speak, just like wild beasts..."
Not afraid of pain?
Can't speak?
Like a beast?
A white light flashed in Xiao Yunze's mind!
If his guess was correct, it should be the kind of medicine man that Guan Shaoxian mentioned in Fenzhou.
At that time, Xiao Yuncheng also poisoned the failed medicine man and buried him outside Fenzhou City, causing the soldiers in the army to be infected with miasma.
Could it be that Xiao Yuncheng is colluding with Beiliang?
Old Master Hou snorted heavily, "What an exaggeration! Where are the soldiers? Why aren't they brought into the palace?"
Zhuque: "Replying to General Hou, the soldier who brought back the intelligence has passed away..."
Xiao Yunze's eyes grew darker, and he quickened his pace slightly.
In the imperial study, quite a few people were already standing there when Xiao Yunze arrived.
Dong Xiu, Wan Guofeng, Minister of War, and General of the Left Wing.
Plus him and Old Master Hou.
Everyone looked very serious.
Xiao Qing sat at the table, his expression grave. "Beiliang's attack this time was very swift. Everyone, do you have any countermeasures?"
The left-wing general bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead the troops to meet the enemy and protect Daqing!"
Xiao Qing looked at him, "General, are you confident that you can recapture the three cities?"
General Zuo Yi's eyes were determined. "I have fought on the battlefield for years and never lost! I will definitely return victorious this time!"
Xiao Yunze glanced at him and said lightly, "General, you have always been brave and adept at fighting, but this time your opponent may be very different from before."
Zuo Yi said nonchalantly, "How different can it be? Your Highness, please give me detailed instructions."
Xiao Yunze's face darkened.
This left-wing general has always been disrespectful to everyone.
Wan Guofeng glanced at Zuo Yi and said to Xiao Yunze, "Your Highness, I wonder what's different about our opponent this time?"
Xiao Yunze glanced at everyone present, then looked up at the emperor who was sitting majestically above him, "Father, I suspect that the army sent by Beiliang this time is not human."
When these words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked!
Zuo Yi laughed, "Your Highness, what do you mean by that? If you are not human, how could you attack three cities in Daqing?"
"Your Highness, are you telling a joke?"
Seeing Zuo Yi's disbelief, Wan Guofeng retorted, "The world is so vast that nothing is impossible. Even dragons exist. How can you be sure that this inhuman army can't exist, General?"
After saying that, Wan Guofeng looked at Xiao Yunze again, "Your Highness, please tell me in detail."
Zuo Yi was defeated and didn't say anything. He just looked at Xiao Yunze with contempt, not believing that he could produce any evidence that the Beiliang army was inhumane.
Xiao Yunze narrowed his eyes and said, "When I was in Fenzhou before, I was fortunate enough to see the long-hidden art of medicine men. Medicine men are people created using special secret methods and can no longer be called human beings."
"I have no five senses, I can't speak, I'm not afraid of pain, and I can't be killed."
"Very tough, it's hard for ordinary people to fight against it."
Xiao Qing's expression became even more serious. "Old Nine, are you telling the truth?"
Xiao Yunze glanced at Dong Xiu silently, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "What I said is all my personal experience. If you don't believe me, you can ask Prime Minister Dong."
Hearing this, Xiao Qing looked at Dong Xiu.
I saw that he looked strange and absent-minded.
Xiao Qing immediately made a judgment in his mind, "Prime Minister Dong, do you know why the medicine man is here?"
Dong Xiu was a little panicked at the moment.
Of course he knew about the medicine man. The Third Prince was his grandson, and their actions were deeply intertwined in order to help him seize the throne.
But he didn't expect that this secret technique actually came from Beiliang!
Even now, Beiliang has used this secret technique to seize three cities of Daqing!
What on earth did Xiao Yuncheng do behind his back?
How could someone cause such a big mess!
"Prime Minister Dong?" Wan Guofeng urged him when he saw that he did not answer for a long time.
Dong Xiu came back to his senses and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead. "Your Majesty, I have heard of this art of making medicine men. It is said that this secret is a secret technique of a great family. Later, they disappeared from the world for some reason. I didn't expect to hear about it again in my lifetime."
Hearing Dong Xiudu say this, Zuo Yi became uneasy, but still didn't believe it. "Prime Minister Dong is already old, are you sure you're not mistaken? I have fought for many years and traveled to many places, but I have never heard of such a secret technique."
Xiao Yunze: "......"
Stubborn and unyielding.
Xiao Qing raised his hand, "Alright, now is not the time to argue about the existence of this medicine man technique. The most urgent task is to repel the Beiliang army!"
"Old Nine, since you were the one who suggested this medicine man, do you have any solution?"
Xiao Yunze said truthfully: "No."
"Tsk——" Zuo Yi sneered.
Xiao Yunze ignored him and continued, "However, I, your son, petition to lead the troops."
Wan Guofeng spoke up at the right time, "Your Highness, it's not appropriate for you to lead the troops into battle just after you appointed the crown prince..."
-
Here, Song Tingwan woke up and found that the atmosphere in the whole mansion was not right.
People kept passing by the gate of Huixiang Garden carrying things.
Noisy.
They all seem very busy.
Song Tingwan was puzzled: "What are they doing? To celebrate Xiao Yunze's return to the throne of Crown Prince?"
Hearing this, Hongdou's eyes flashed behind him, and she hesitated whether to say it.
After all, she just heard it.
It would be bad if the news was misinformed...
