1030 reinforcements, if you can't win, ask for peace

Even though they had a thousand words to say, the Ninth Emperor Uncle and Feng Qingchen knew that this was not a good time to talk. The Ninth Emperor Uncle gently held Feng Qingchen's hand to comfort her.

Feng Qingchen opened her mouth and took a bite of the Ninth Prince's body. Only then did she feel calmer. She then nestled obediently in the Ninth Prince's arms and let him carry her out.

Feng Qingchen has remembered this grudge. She is leaving Taicheng today, but she will come back one day. The Ninth Prince also has this plan. It is never too late to take revenge.

After the Ninth Prince came out with Feng Qingchen in his arms, he did not say anything bad to Tai Shao. Instead, he said calmly, "Lord Tai, thank you for your care during this period of time. I will take my leave now."

After he finished speaking, he didn't need Tai Shao to lead him, and he carried Feng Qingchen in his arms and left Tingyin Cottage. When the eight generals saw that the Ninth Prince was fine, they gave Tai Shao a cold look and followed him in silence.

"Mr. Zhuge, what does the Ninth Uncle mean by this?" Tai Shao only reacted after the Ninth Uncle left.

Mr. Zhuge sighed, "I guess Miss Feng is fine. Young Master, it seems that there is still room for us to turn things around with the Ninth Prince. If you don't want to offend the Ninth Prince, you might as well give the Xiaoqishan gold mine to the Ninth Prince as an apology."

"No, that won't work. It's impossible." Before Tai Shao could say anything, the rough Xu Qing objected: "We spent so much effort to hijack Feng Qingchen just for the gold mine. Now that we have the gold mine, how can we give it away?"

"Master, I think what Mr. Zhuge said makes sense. The Ninth Prince is too difficult to deal with. Sacrificing a gold mine can calm the Ninth Prince's anger, which is a good thing for us." Xiao Yang once again uncontrollably thought of the time when he was frightened to sit on the ground by a look from the Ninth Prince, and shuddered quietly.

"The fear is that we cannot get the Xiaoqishan gold mine." Tai Shao understood clearly at this time. The Ninth Prince kept saying that he came to fulfill the agreement, but he did not give him any document that could prove that he was the owner of the Xiaoqishan gold mine.

Let him lead the troops to take over the gold mine in Xiaoqishan? If he leads the troops there, I'm afraid they will never come back.

"Master, in this case, we might as well make it look better. The gold mine will not fall into our hands anyway." Mr. Zhuge persuaded again. This time Xu Qing did not refute. Tai Shao sighed helplessly and then nodded.

After all the calculations, so many lives were sacrificed, but in the end it was all in vain. Tai Shao and his companions were devastated, and soon something even more devastating happened.

Less than two quarters of an hour after the Ninth Prince left, the spy came to report: "City Lord, reinforcements have arrived!"

Thirty thousand reinforcements arrived late and were now outside Taicheng, waiting for Tai Shao's order to rush in, but inside the city...

"Hurry, go check where the Ninth Prince is now?" Tai Shao hesitated at first, then shouted loudly after he came to his senses.

"Damn it, why are we here at this time? We don't even know where the Ninth Prince has gone. Why didn't we come earlier? If we had come earlier, we could have made sure that the Ninth Prince would never come back. Let's see how arrogant he can be."

Xu Qing was a warmonger, with a fierce temper in his bones. Although the Ninth Prince did not fight or say a few words when he arrived, he suppressed the people of Taicheng and made Taicheng lose all its face and dignity. There was no one in Taicheng who did not want to beat the Ninth Prince down...

"Gone, gone... The Ninth Prince left and did not meet the army." The visitor reported again.

There is more than one way from Taicheng to Shandong. Logically, the Ninth Prince should have returned by the same route. After all, Feng Qingchen was injured, and it would be beneficial for her to take a shortcut. But he didn't...

"Report..." At this time, another messenger came in: "City Lord, the Ninth Prince and his entourage are heading towards the dense forest."

Although the Ninth Prince had taken his men away, Tai Shao was still worried that the Ninth Prince would turn back, so he sent people to follow him quietly. Only when he was sure that the Ninth Prince had gone far away, would Tai City be truly safe.

"What?" Tai Shao opened his eyes wide and said angrily, "Did the Ninth Prince have already calculated the reinforcements? Or was it that the reinforcements from Taicheng were intercepted by him?"

"Young Master, the person who intercepted our reinforcements was definitely not the Ninth Prince." Mr. Zhuge was the only calm person here. He never believed that a small Taicheng could trap the Ninth Prince.

"No? Then who could it be?" After what happened today, Tai Shao trusted Mr. Zhuge even more. Mr. Zhuge did not hide anything and immediately said, "My lord, although the Ninth Prince is extremely powerful, this is Taicheng after all, near Shandong. The people that the Ninth Prince sent to Taicheng today are probably all his troops. He simply cannot mobilize more troops to intercept our people. There are not many people in Shandong who have such ability and have a grudge against Taicheng."

It is not easy to stop the 30,000-man army, and the people who suddenly showed up to help them today must have bad intentions. Mr. Zhuge did not say this, but he believed that Tai Shao had thought of it.

Tai Shao retracted his gaze, thought for a moment, and then cursed: "Lu family, Shandong Lu family, it must be the Lu family, what a Lu family, you actually diverted the trouble to others, fine, fine, I, Tai Cheng, and your Lu family will never coexist."

Under the explicit or implicit hints of Mr. Zhuge, Tai Shao hated the Lu family to the core, and believed that it was all because of the Lu family that Taicheng had encountered today's disaster. If the Lu family had not competed with him for the gold mine, how could he have set his sights on Feng Qingchen, and how could he have attracted the evil star, the Ninth Prince.

People are always unwilling to face their own mistakes. Tai Shao confidently put all the blame on the Lu family, and his hatred for the Lu family even exceeded that of the Ninth Prince. And all this was expected by the Ninth Prince.

After this incident, Mr. Zhuge will definitely become the number one strategist in Taicheng. With Tai Shao's trust in him, it will be much easier for him to do things in Taicheng.

Under the protection of the Black Cavalry, the Ninth Prince did not take the nearest official road, but chose a complex and difficult dense forest. He entered the dense forest at night, making everyone afraid to act rashly.

In this way, he not only avoided the army of Taicheng, but also made the spies of the Lu family who were monitoring him lose their target. When the news was passed back to the Lu family, the third young master Lu smashed a set of fine porcelain, turned around and went to apologize to the man in the wooden house.

"I have failed to live up to my lord's expectations and will definitely be punished by him." Young Master Lu, who was enjoying great glory outside, was now running humbly in front of the wooden house, waiting for his decision from the man inside.

The man in the cabin was silent for a full quarter of an hour before he said, "Get up, send someone to follow into the forest, and set it on fire if necessary. If he comes out alive, have your father come to your house to apologize."

If you can't win, ask for peace.

Although this move was a bit shameless, it was quite useful. Young Master Lu quickly understood the man's intention and immediately made two arrangements. One was to order his assassins to rush into the dense forest to hunt down the Ninth Prince, and the other was to go find his father and be prepared to apologize...
