But then he thought again, the spies he sent into South Vietnam and the spies who had been in South Vietnam without being exposed should have come to report the situation at this time, but unfortunately none of them did.
Did something really happen to them? Was Qian Yeming really that powerful enough to have taken down Qian Yeyao?
The more Dongfang Ming thought about it, the more frightened he became. If this was true, then he would be dead the moment he returned to the capital.
Looking at the extremely impatient tone in the imperial edict, Dongfang Ming was already wondering whether he should just rob the million-strong army, fight back to the capital, and force the emperor to abdicate.
But the thought was dismissed the moment it arose. This was because the generals and lieutenants in this army were almost all his father's men. Furthermore, Dongxiang still had 800,000 troops standing. If he rebelled, there would be no chance of success.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Ming smashed the wine jar in his hand to pieces with a "whoosh".
"Your Highness!"
Just when Dongfang Ming was feeling frustrated, one of his trusted aides walked in without even reporting. Dongfang Ming was furious and roared, "Who let you in? Get out!"
This confidant knew what the prince was thinking and what he was expecting, so he didn't care about his roar at all. He walked straight to Dongfang Ming and whispered, "Prince, it's a happy event, a great happy event!"
Dongfang Ming hasn't heard the word "happy event" for a long time. Ever since he came to Hanyu Pass, he has been feeling depressed and even he himself has lost hope.
"What good news?" Dongfang Ming stood up suddenly and asked nervously and pitifully.
"There's a man outside who claims to be General Chai's subordinate and wants to see you."
"General Chai? Who is General Chai?" Dongfang Ming's second monk asked in confusion. There was no such person as General Chai in their plan!
It’s no wonder that Dongfang Ming didn’t know Chai Jing. The main reason was that Chai Jing had been sidelined by Emperor Dezheng for too long, and history had forgotten him.
"Someone tell my subordinates that General Chai, King Li's father-in-law, and his subordinates have come all the way here to assist us. Prince, our plan is promising!"
Dongfang Ming was stunned for a moment, then slapped his legs.
"I remember now! That General Chai is Chai Jing, the father-in-law of Prince Li and the father of Princess Li's wife, Chai Luochen. He was once the General of Zhenxi, but his military power was later confiscated by Emperor Dezheng. Quick, please send for the envoy."
After the confidant left, Dongfang Ming was nearly moved to tears. What does it mean to be at the end of one's rope, only to find a new way out? This is it! What does it mean to be able to work things out when the time comes? This is it!
Damn, I've been feeling frustrated for so long, and finally someone has arrived. Regardless of whether it's good news or bad news, as long as King Li's men can reach Hangu Pass and cooperate with him from inside and outside, it's a great thing!
After a while, a man dressed in black and wearing a black cloak walked in. When he saw Dongfang Ming, he immediately saluted and said, "Greetings to the Crown Prince Dongfang!"
"Envoy, please don't be so polite! Tell me what the situation is on your side." Dongfang Ming didn't have time to be polite with the envoy. Seeing that the generals around his father would force him to go back at dawn, he had to finalize the matter quickly.
The messenger was slightly stunned, blinked, and voluntarily took out the token.
"Prince Dongfang, this is a token of trust. Please show it to me."
After Dongfang Ming was reminded,
