If your master doesn't reward you handsomely after this is done, I will ask for it for you!"
The messenger's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "Thank you, Prince Dongfang!"
"Hey, you're welcome! We're partners, we share the same fate! You've arrived just in time. I just received an imperial edict from my father, ordering me to return to the capital tomorrow. If you hadn't come tonight, I and His Highness Prince Li would have just passed each other by!"
The messenger's dark face instantly turned red: "Is that really the case?"
"Haha, of course!"
"What a coincidence! What a coincidence! Prince Dongfang and His Highness Prince Li are truly a match made in heaven!"
"Haha... eh? A match made in heaven?" Dongfang Ming was laughing triumphantly, but suddenly realized something and his mouth twitched.
Thinking of Qian Yeyao's tall, burly figure, looking at his own thin figure, and then imagining him being tortured by Qian Yeyao in the grass under the moonlight...
Dongfang Ming couldn't help but shiver, and his face turned dark in an instant.
Looking at the messenger with a simple and honest smile on his face, I really wanted to beat him to death.
Damn, can the term "match made in heaven" be used so carelessly? Stupid!
"What are General Chai's plans now?"
"Those 50,000 cavalrymen are all the general's men. The general's strategy is to first reach Hangu Pass and establish a good relationship with Pei Zhong. Then, he will poison him when he's least prepared.
Hehe, Prince Dongfang doesn't know that this trick is very popular nowadays. It is said that the Queen has a team called Kuangfeng, which has only 500 people and has captured Murong Qingyu's 400,000 private army stockpiled in Fengling Pass.
Therefore, all is fair in war. Our general has decided to use his own tactics against them. He and his brothers will poison Pei Zhong and his 500,000-man army, then kill Pei Zhong and tie up the 500,000 soldiers. Finally, whoever obeys and surrenders will be given the opportunity to submit!
"Good plan!" Dongfang Ming praised sincerely.
"Yes," the messenger nodded. "Your Highness, please hold your troops in place for the next few days. Even if it means disobeying the order, you must withstand the pressure and do not return to the court. Our General Chai will definitely give the Crown Prince a satisfactory answer!"
"This prince has been here for so long, of course I will not retreat at this critical moment. Go back and tell your general that this prince is here, awaiting his arrival."
"Yes! As you command! If our plan succeeds, my general will open the city gates and appear at the Hangu Pass on a white horse."
And he's riding a white horse... He's so old, is there any need to describe him as a Prince Charming?
Dongfang Ming broke out in a sweat again, and then he asked this subordinate, who had great potential in storytelling but always used inappropriate words, to leave.
After the messenger left, he left in a mysterious manner, turning left and right, and finally after bypassing a not-so-big mountain range, he crawled out of the dog hole.
After watching the messenger crawl through the dog hole, Dongfang Ming sent someone to follow him and then went back to report with peace of mind.
The dog hole was very long, and the messenger took a long time to climb before reaching Hangu Pass.
The hole was only wide enough for one person to crawl through, and it had taken more than ten days to dig. Finally, the messenger yelled, "I'm stuck! Help me!"
When the people outside the cave heard the sound, they immediately rushed over and dragged the messenger out.
Looking at his torn clothes, the messenger was obviously depressed.
