The layout of the first volume of Acai's work, The Emperor's Phoenix: The Godly Doctor and the Abandoned Concubine, gives Prince Lei a loophole

When the assassination happened in Feng Mansion, Jiu Huang was busy completing the task assigned by Feng Qingchen: marry Chu Changhua as soon as possible, and not let Chu Changhua affect Sun Sixing's reputation.

It took the Ninth Prince a whole day to set up the game, and he was just waiting for Chu Changhua to join the game tomorrow. After finishing these things, he would deal with daily official business.

By the time the Ninth Prince finished his work, it was already late at night. Before he had time to rest, he received news that an assassin had sneaked into the Feng Mansion with the intention of assassinating Feng Qingchen.

The pen in the Ninth Prince's hand broke with a sound. He threw the pen away and asked, "Which side's troops are you from?"

"Killer Alliance, Zuo'an gave us the news." The secret guard was very dedicated and did not dare to take credit for himself.

"Okay, I understand." The Ninth Prince signaled the secret guards to withdraw. He was about to change his clothes and go to Feng Mansion to check on Feng Qingchen and comfort her. But before he stepped out of the door, he was stopped again.

"Your Highness, there is urgent military intelligence." The secret guard presented the letter to the Ninth Prince under tremendous pressure.

"Military intelligence? Where?" Shandong had just fought a war, how could there still be war? What was going on in the Demon Cult was not called military intelligence.

"Liancheng." The secret guard said in a deep voice.

The Ninth Prince knew the seriousness of the matter and immediately unfolded the letter. When he saw the contents of the letter, a hint of anger flashed across his calm face.

"Waste!" the Ninth Prince cursed harshly.

The secret guard didn't dare to breathe, he just knelt on the ground obediently, not moving a muscle.

The people of the Ninth Prince's family knew very well the importance of Liancheng. Now that Liancheng was in danger, it was normal for the Ninth Prince to be angry. The secret guards knelt silently on the ground, waiting for the Ninth Prince's orders.

The Ninth Prince took a deep breath, returned to the desk, spread out the letter paper, and wrote: From Mr. Yinli...

After writing the letter to Mr. Yinli, the Ninth Prince put it aside and wrote another letter to Xiling Tianyu.

The Ninth Prince sealed the two letters himself and handed them to the secret guards: "Send them out as fast as possible, don't delay."

"I obey your command." The secret guard disappeared as quickly as a gust of wind and did not dare to stay for a moment, which showed how urgent the matter was.

At this time, the Ninth Prince did not have time to go to Feng Mansion. He changed into Yihang's equipment, put on the silver mask, and walked towards the secret room of Su Mansion. Su Wenqing was so anxious that he was running around. When he saw Lan Jiuqing appear, he immediately went to greet him: "Jiuqing, Liancheng is in trouble."

"I received the news. When will Bu Jingyun arrive in Liancheng?" Lan Jiuqing said calmly, using his eyes to comfort Su Wenqing and tell him not to panic.

"Jingyun will not arrive for at least three days." Su Wenqing quickly adjusted his breathing to make himself look less panicked.

"Three days? Let City Lord Lian delay for a few more days and wait for Bu Jingyun and the Black Cavalry to arrive before taking action." Lan Jiuqing's mind worked rapidly, thinking of ways to delay the battle.

Su Wenqing smiled bitterly: "Can Xiling Tianlei wait?"

"We have to wait even if we can't. Let Lord Liancheng come up with a solution. Liancheng's few men are no match for Xiling's army. Don't make fearless sacrifices. You can sacrifice Xueniang if necessary."

"No." Su Wenqing refused without thinking: "Jiuqing, Xueniang is a symbol of the previous dynasty. It cannot fall into the hands of the Xiling royal family."

"Xue Niang is important, but the people and soldiers of Liancheng are more important. Besides, do you think that Xiling Tianlei will be satisfied after taking out the Xue Niang? Xiling Tianlei's move is nominally for Xue Niang, but actually for Liancheng." Lan Jiuqing understood Xiling Tianlei's goal at a glance.

Xue Niang has been in Liancheng for many years. If Xiling Tianlei wants her, he will not wait until today.

"Are you saying that Xiling Tianyu is forcibly occupying Liancheng under the pretext of asking Liancheng to offer snow wine to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Xiling? Isn't he afraid that Dongling and Nanling will be dissatisfied?" Although Su Wenqing knew that Xiling sent troops to Liancheng not only for the hundred jars of snow wine, he did not expect that Xiling Tianlei actually wanted to take Liancheng.

This appetite is a bit too big. Aren’t you afraid of eating too much and dying?

Lan Jiuqing sneered: "He is afraid but he is anxious. Yeye has surrendered to Dongling, and Taicheng has been divided up by Dongling and Nanling. How can Xiling Tianlei sit still?"

"But... although Dongling and Nanling have made moves, they have not swallowed up Taicheng and Yeye. The pattern of the Nine Cities has not changed. Isn't Xiling Tianlei's move going to cause war?" Su Wenqing has always known that Xiling Tianlei is ambitious.

At the beginning, Xiling Tianlei thought that his position as the crown prince was secure, so he immediately traveled to various countries and cities. In name, he was selecting a concubine, but everyone knew his real purpose.

Xiling Tianlei has ambitions to conquer the world.

"It would be better if a war was caused. Without war, how could there be military power? Xiling Tianyu has 500,000 people under his command, and the eldest princess has a close relationship with the generals who hold military power. If Xiling Tianyu wants to sit on the throne, he must have the support of the military, and nothing is easier to obtain military power than war." As long as Xiling Tianlei persuades the emperor to let him fight, whether he wins or loses, Xiling Tianlei can control those soldiers with his means.

"Xiling Tianlei is too insidious." Su Wenqing was so angry that he slammed the stone table hard. His palm was swollen, but he didn't feel any pain. He said angrily: "Xiling Tianlei is trying to use Liancheng to seize military power. Jiuqing, you must not let him succeed."

"Don't worry, I have already written to Mr. Yinli and Tianyu. They will hold back Prince Lei. Compared with us, the Princess and Tianyu don't want Xiling Tianlei to seize the military power." Lan Jiuqing was not worried that the Princess would not take action, but he was worried that the Princess would go crazy.

He has been observing Princess Xiling. Although this woman has a bad reputation, she does have political talent and is dedicated to planning for Xiling.

Xiling Tianlei's expedition to Liancheng was a hundred benefits to Xiling, and the eldest princess stood on Xiling's side and did not stop Xiling Tianlei from leading his troops to Liancheng.

Su Wenqing felt relieved when he saw that Lan Jiuqing had a solution so quickly, but...

"I'm just afraid that Xiling Tianlei won't give us a chance. Xiling Tianlei must also know that speed is the key to this battle. If time drags on, not to mention Xiling, even Dongling and Nanling will not sit idly by." Xiling Tianlei sent troops to Liancheng without any prior signs. If Dongling and Nanling had noticed it in advance, they would definitely not have let Xiling's troops leave the city.

"An army of 300,000 set out without any warning beforehand. Xiling Tianlei really has some means." Su Wenqing couldn't help but sigh. Xiling Tianlei was much stronger than Tianyu in military terms.

Xiling Tianyu has not yet taken down the 500,000 troops on the border of Beiling.

"It's not that there is no movement, it's just that I didn't take it seriously." Lan Jiuqing frowned slightly when he thought of the intelligence about Xiling during this period.

Before this, there were signs of military movements in Xiling, but he was confused by the military review of the Emperor of Xiling during his birthday celebration and did not take it seriously. However, he did not expect that his momentary negligence almost brought a devastating disaster to Liancheng.

It now seems that the so-called Wanshou Military Review was just a cover used by Emperor Xiling and Xiling Tianlei to cover up their military operations.

Now the troops of Xiling have arrived at the gate of Liancheng. Even if Dongling and Nanling counterattack immediately, it will be too late...

In the end, he was one step behind and let Xiling Tianlei take the lead.

Lan Jiuqing sighed.
