"Then I will send people out tomorrow to secretly search for the whereabouts of Prince An." Liao Chongwu said.
"Yes," Zhong Minge nodded, "We must act quickly and find Prince An before Prince Rong. We must not let Prince An fall into Prince Rong's hands."
"I understand. I know how serious it is. Don't worry." Liao Chongwu nodded in agreement.
…
However, early the next morning, before Liao Chongwu set out, Chi Chongyuan's men secretly arrived in Yongzhou. Zhong Minge was shocked when he heard the news, and then hurried to the main hall in the front yard to meet the guard.
"Your subordinate greets Prince Hui! May Prince Hui live in peace!" The guard saluted Zhong Ming'e respectfully.
"Get up," Zhong Ming'e said, looking at the dark and thin young man, and asked slowly, "I have never had any contact with General Zhennan. I wonder why General Zhennan sent you to Yongzhou this time?"
"Your Highness, I am here on the orders of General Zhennan to personally deliver this letter to Your Highness." As the guard spoke, he took out an envelope from his arms and respectfully handed it to Zhong Ming'e with both hands.
Zhong Ming'e looked at the letter in confusion, then took it and opened it. As soon as he opened the letter, Zhong Ming'e's face suddenly froze. He thought he was seeing things, so he quickly read it carefully again. Then he put the letter on the table with a look of shock, and then looked at the guard in front of him with complicated eyes: "Is this really the personal letter from General Zhennan?"
In fact, it was useless to ask this question. The seal of General Zhennan was clearly printed at the end of the letter, which was obvious.
"Yes." The guard bowed.
"What if I am not willing to accept General Zhennan's advice?" After a pause, Zhong Minge asked with a frown.
"Then I will have to worry about your Highness's situation." The guard said slowly.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Zhong Ming'e was startled, then he smiled. "Today, you are standing on my territory, but you are not worried about your own situation. You even have the audacity to say that you are worried about me?"
"I am just a worthless person. If I die in Prince Hui's mansion today, I will be considered loyal to General Zhennan. Naturally, my family will have food and clothing for the rest of their lives. So since I accepted this mission, I have already put life and death aside," the guard continued, still with a face of neither servility nor overbearing. "But Your Highness, have you ever thought that if you are unwilling to submit to Prince An's army, you will inevitably be strangled by the Southern Xinjiang Army and the Tibetan Army. It will not only be Your Highness's life that is in danger, but the 300,000 Huguang Army will probably die with Your Highness. So I advise Your Highness to think twice before acting."
"What did you say? The Tibetan army actually also serves Prince An?" Liao Chongwu, who had been standing behind Zhong Minge, was suddenly shocked. From the conversation between Zhong Minge and the guard just now, he had already guessed why the guard came and what was written in Chi Chongyuan's handwritten letter. He was already quite shocked at the moment. He didn't expect that Chi Chongyuan was actually Prince An's man, and they didn't know anything about it beforehand. I'm afraid it's not just them, Prince Rong must not know either, and maybe even His Majesty has been kept in the dark...
The more Liao Chongwu thought about it, the more he felt that Zhong Mingwei was terrifying. The disabled abandoned prince, who was well known to everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty, actually commanded the army of Southern Xinjiang, and had the support of the King of Pingxi behind him, and they were all unaware of it. How could there be such a terrifying person? And how could there be someone who hid so deeply?
And the guard just mentioned the Tibetan army. It sounded like even the Tibetan army was part of Zhong Mingwei's sphere of influence. Liao Chongwu and Zhong Minge both felt a pang in their hearts, and then they secretly felt lucky. Fortunately, they chose to join Zhong Mingwei's side. If they had become enemies with Zhong Mingwei, and with the fact that the Cui family had framed Queen Zhenxian and Zhong Mingwei in the past, they would have been killed without a burial place.
