A Cai's work The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine The Emperor's Phoenix: Abandoned Concubine Volume 1 2010 Testing, Complete Trust
It was only a matter of time before Nanling was taken over, not to mention that lunatic Nanling Jinfan sold out all of Nanling.
With the information provided by Nanling Jinfan, Dongling can completely take over Nanling at the lowest cost. Even if the plague spread, the Ninth Prince did not take it seriously, but now the Ninth Prince has to pay attention to it.
If the plague was caused by the decay and improper disposal of corpses, it would not be difficult to curb. But this plague was man-made.
In other words, no matter how clean Dong Ling cleaned the battlefield, he could not stop the spread of the plague. What's more, the city was fine one second ago, but the next second, once it was breached by Dong Ling, the city would be plagued.
If this continues, the army will surely lose morale. By then, not only the people of Nanling, but also the soldiers of Dongling will be shaken in their support for Dongling. They will think that this is God's displeasure with Dongling attacking Nanling.
"Nanling's move was very cruel." Wang Jinling no longer had any expectations for the Nanling royal family.
Even if the Wang family members are fighting for power and profit, they have a bottom line. They really cannot do such a thing without principles and bottom line.
"Sir Fu, you are required to verify the information provided by Nanling Jinfan. Check the people above one by one and find out who caused the plague in Nanling as soon as possible." The Ninth Prince did not comment on the Nanling royal family. What he had to do now was to make new arrangements based on the situation in Nanling.
"Lord Yuwen, send a letter to Feng Liyou and ask him to stop attacking the city."
"Sir Wang, I want Nanling to have no herbs to sell."
"Shangguan Sir, the Imperial Hospital..."
…
The Ninth Prince said eighteen of them in one breath, then waved his hand and said, "Go down."
Everyone left one by one, only Wang Jinling stayed behind, bowed to the Ninth Uncle and said: "Your Majesty, even if there is no coronation ceremony, you should change your words."
"Yes." The Ninth Prince responded, indicating that he understood.
After Wang Jinling left, the Ninth Prince issued another secret decree and summoned the secret guards: "Send it to the border immediately and hand it over to Marshal Si." It was time for Prime Minister Si to send troops.
Nanling's attention during this period has been on resisting Feng Liyou's invasion. Si Cheng led a large number of troops to guard the other side of the border, but he did not fight Nanling at all.
Nanling once thought that the Ninth Prince was deliberately trying to kill Feng Liyou and the troops of the Fengli clan. After all, they were still skeptical about whether the Ninth Prince would use Feng Liyou.
However, they are destined to be disappointed and pay the price for their wrong guesses.
After writing the letter, the Ninth Prince spread out the map of Nanling, compared them one by one with the granaries mentioned by Nanling Jinfan, and marked all the counties where the granaries were located in red.
Pointing his fingers at several red-marked places, the Ninth Prince took out a detailed map, mapped out suitable routes one by one, and wrote to Xiling Tianyu again.
Xiling Tianyu had already dispatched troops to Jiancheng and Ancheng as requested by the Ninth Prince. Before the other party sent troops to Dongling, he first delayed the other party so that they could not create chaos in Dongling.
Xiling Tianyu's move also increased the Ninth Prince's trust in him.
It’s no wonder that the Ninth Prince was so cautious. It was Bu Jingyun’s betrayal that shocked and angered him. The Ninth Prince did not want a similar situation to happen again.
Normally, the Ninth Prince should have given this letter directly to the Black Cavalry and asked them to act according to his arrangements, but the Ninth Prince did not do so.
The Ninth Prince told Xiling Tianyu the location of the Nanling granary, and Xiling Tianyu formulated and arranged the Black Cavalry to carry out this mission. As for what Xiling Tianyu would do, the Ninth Prince did not interfere at all.
The Ninth Prince's move was a test, and also a demonstration of his trust in Xiling Tianyu. He was almost handing over the entire Black Knight to Xiling Tianyu. If Xiling Tianyu had second thoughts, the Black Knight would be finished.
It has to be said that the Ninth Prince is very courageous and has the spirit of a gambler, just like on the Cliff of Destiny.
Xiling Tianyu was also shocked when he received the news from the Ninth Uncle. He did not expect that the Ninth Uncle would completely hand over the Black Cavalry to him for command. For a moment, he actually felt flattered.
Speaking of which, Xiling Tianyu is also a miserable kid. His mother only uses him, and his father treats him fairly normally, but he is just indifferent.
Later, he noticed him because of his guard and suspicion. Even his own parents did not trust him, but the Ninth Prince believed in him. If it were him, he might not be able to do it.
Being trusted by the Ninth Prince, Xiling Tianyu felt happy and bitter at the same time, and secretly vowed that he would never let the Ninth Prince down.
Xiling Tianyu carefully studied the terrain of Nanling, and specially marked out the several places mentioned by the Ninth Uncle. Then he quietly found Mr. Yinli, and the two discussed for a long time before coming up with a relatively perfect plan.
After confirming again and again that they would act according to the plan and that even if the plan could not be accomplished, Black Cavalry would not be sacrificed in vain, Xiling Tianyu secretly summoned Black Cavalry, told him the contents of the Ninth Prince's letter, and at the same time passed on his own plan.
The Black Cavalry were brave and good at fighting, but they were not good at planning. They were better at following orders. As long as the Ninth Prince gave an order, they would complete it even if the whole army was annihilated.
The Ninth Prince asked them to listen to Xiling Tianyu, and they would carry out the mission according to Xiling Tianyu's instructions.
A thousand people came in and out of the country, and others might not notice it, but Cui Haoting would never ignore it.
When the Black Cavalry appeared, Cui Haoting thought that this was Xiling Tianyu's own private army. He was secretly surprised and thought that Xiling Tianyu was a man with foresight and ambition.
But later it was discovered that although the Black Cavalry obeyed Xiling Tianyu's orders, they did not recognize Xiling Tianyu as their leader. This powerful armed force was just borrowed by Xiling Tianyu.
At that moment, Cui Haoting was not disappointed. He had also thought about confronting Xiling Tianyu. Their Cui family was willing to use the whole family's strength to help Xiling Tianyu ascend the throne, unify Xiling, and even the Kyushu continent.
However, after several attempts, Cui Haoting found that Xiling Tianyu had no such ambition at all, so Cui Haoting had no choice but to give up. He ordered the branches of the Cui family to converge their forces in various places, and the Cui family would not get involved in this chaos.
Just like before, the Cui family once again chose to avoid it. Although they lost the opportunity to rise, on the other hand, they also avoided the disaster of genocide.
They will not be able to rise to the top by taking advantage of the chaos like the Wang family, nor will they disappear in the torrent of history like the Xie family.
Cui Haoting's decision caused dissatisfaction among many people in the Cui family. Cui Haoting did not explain much, only one sentence: "We bet on the wrong person, and we, the Cui family, must admit it. The situation has gradually become clear. Xiling has no hope. If we, the Cui family, continue to fall into it, we will be courting death. As the head of the family, I order you to stop. If anyone is dissatisfied, please speak up and I will expel him from the Cui family."
In order to save the Cui family, Cui Haoting showed his true colors and expelled all the people in the Cui family who had wavering minds from the family.
Cui Haoting's move was so big that not only Xiling, but also Dongling received the news.
After Wang Jinling knew this, he smiled like a fox: Cui Haoting is finally willing to face reality.
The ambitions of the Cui family were clear to both the Ninth Prince and Wang Jinling. Cui Haoting made such a big fuss just to tell the Ninth Prince that the Cui family had shown weakness and would no longer do unrealistic things.
If the Ninth Prince has a good reputation with the Cui family, he will not kill the Cui family, at least he will not uproot them like he did to the Xie family!
