"Your Highness the Princess, General Zhu Rong and Wang Qianhu would like to see you."

When Princess Kunxing was troubled by rumors that someone was about to attack, the voice of a female official came outside her study door...

It was Zhu Shangxian, the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou Town, and Wang Zechen, a member of the Qianhu Station in Dengzhou, Jinyiwei.

"Tell them to come in!"

Princess Kunxing quickly put down a document she was holding, and then invited the two visiting people into her study.

Zhu Shangxian and Wang Zechen were walking in a hurry, and they knew something was wrong at a glance!

Princess Kunxing didn't wait for the two of them to bow according to the rules before asking: "General Zhu, Wang Qianhu, have you heard about it? There are rumors in the Sihai Tea House that Qing Yao is coming to attack Dengzhou! And...

...There are still spies from Qingyao Sticker in the city who are trying to cause trouble!"

Wang Zechen nodded and said solemnly: "This rumor is true... Prince Qingyao An Yue Le and Prince Gong Chang Ning have indeed led tens of thousands of troops to sneak into Dengzhou and will launch a sneak attack soon. And Dengzhou

The craftsmen at the Qingyao Internal Affairs Office in the outer city are also preparing to cause chaos!

In fact, my subordinates have long discovered that Qingyao Ruzong and Xizuo from Nianganchu have sneaked into Dengzhou, so they have been sending people to keep an eye on them."

Zhu Shangxian also nodded and said: "Your Royal Highness, your subordinates and Wang Qianhu are here for this matter... What do you think we should do?"

Princess Kunxing nodded approvingly: "Okay, okay, you two are indeed good at getting things done... By the way, did you deliberately spread this rumor?"

At this time, both Zhu Shangxian and Wang Zechen were speechless, and they both shook their heads at the same time.

Zhu Shangxian said: "To report back to the princess, I have never let anyone release such news."

Wang Zechen also said: "My subordinates didn't do this either..."

Princess Kunxing was also stunned: "Who did that?"

Zhu Shangxian and Wang Zechen both shook their heads.

They don't know either!

Dengzhou is a mixed place, and they can't control it at all. The reason why Confucianism and Nianganchu in the Qing court were targeted was actually because the Confucian leader Huang Zhisheng was a spy of the Ming Dynasty. So the Confucianism in Dengzhou

Antang was infiltrated by Jin Yiwei from the very beginning!

Since Niangan was the yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Confucianism could not enter at all, so their organization in Dengzhou was not known to Jinyiwei at first.

But in order to cause trouble in Dengzhou, Cao Xi took the Shenggong order given to him by Kangxi and went to the Confucian secret hall in Dengzhou and asked them to gather disciples to prepare for trouble. As a result, he was exposed!

But Zhu Shangxian and Wang Zechen would never spread the news to Sihai Teahouse.

Moreover, Tiqi from Jinyiwei Dengzhou Qianhu Station would not do such a stupid thing on his own initiative...

Princess Kunxing looked at the two people in front of her, and was silent for a while thoughtfully, then asked: "Let's not say who leaked the news. It's just the sneak attack... What are you going to do?"

Zhu Shangxian and Wang Zechen looked at each other again after hearing this, and then they saw Zhu Shangxian mysteriously take out a black brocade bag, and then took out a small scroll from the brocade bag, and handed it to Princess Kunxing with both hands.

.

"Princess...this is the clever tip the King left behind when he left Dengzhou."

"What a clever idea?" Princess Kunxing was a bit dumbfounded.

The military affairs of the new Ming Dynasty are not serious at all. They do these weird things all day long... Is this the style of the Tang Dynasty?

After cursing, Princess Kunxing reached out and took the scroll, then spread it out on her desk.

There were not many words in the tip, and Princess Kunxing read it quickly. Then she knitted her beautiful eyebrows and whispered: "We want to establish the name of Tianwang City, but also squander other people's money.

I also want to coax some people to go to Liaodong to open up wasteland... I also want to lure out all the poisonous snakes in Dengzhou City! Haha, kill four birds with one stone! My brother is still very powerful when he is ruthless!

By the way, he didn’t want to ruin his reputation, so he hid in Nanjing and left me in Dengzhou... Does that mean he was plotting against me? No wonder they let their father and son get into trouble in this world! "

Zhu Shangxian was Yang Qilong's confidant, and Yang Qilong was in the same group as Princess Kunxing. They were considered a party. So he said to Princess Kunxing with a serious face: "Princess... there is always prosperity, wealth, stability and ease."

It’s hard-won!”

Princess Kunxing frowned again, nodded and said, "I understand!"

...

Dengzhou Commercial Port, Sihai Teahouse.

This teahouse is probably the most well-informed place in Dengzhou!

At least according to Cao Xi, the great spy sent to Dengzhou from the Niangan Department of the Qing Dynasty, this teahouse is simply a place where "gods gather". There are always gossips coming from all walks of life, and a considerable part of the news will later be revealed.

Proved to be true.

So in the past two years, whenever he had time, he would come to the Sihai Teahouse to sit, and then write down some of the gossip he heard in the Sihai Teahouse into secrets, and then send someone to deliver it to Emperor Kangxi... Basically

You can take care of potential errands by going up.

This Sihai Tea House is really a good place to go!

But today, Cao Xi, who was sitting in a corner of Sihai Teahouse as usual, felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Because here he heard an important piece of information related to himself for the first time... and it was quite accurate!

"Have you heard? Qing Yao's Prince An, Yue Le, is quietly leading an army of 100,000 people towards our Dengzhou... He wants to make a sneak attack!"

"I know, I know, it has been rumored for several days... It is said that people have been arranged to come to Huncheng, and people from the Qingyao Internal Affairs Bureau's Sticky Branch are in charge!"

"Is this really true? Who did you listen to?"

"It's all spreading! It's been spreading like crazy in the past two days... Monk Yishi, you're not just going to recite sutras with your master, and you've turned a deaf ear to what's going on outside the temple, are you?"

"You're talking nonsense, don't talk nonsense. This poor monk definitely didn't recite sutras with the young master. This poor monk swears to God..."

"You're not chanting sutras together? What are you doing then?"

"The poor monk is here... By the way, did you tell me about the gossip? When will Qing Yao come to Huncheng?"

"Just these two days, it is said that the army is coming from Huang County...Master Yishi, do you still have room in your Yishi Temple? Can you let me take my family to hide for a few days?"

"Do you really want to hide? Is this really possible?"

"I would rather believe it is true! During this period, the Ming army was in Liaodong, and North Korea succeeded one after another. Kang Mazi was so disappointed that he might really attack Dengzhou!"

"That's right... No, the poor monk has to go back to the temple to prepare!"

The news that people in Sihai Teahouse are spreading is almost the same as the news that Cao Xi has!

There is no doubt that someone has leaked the news! But who is this person? Could it be a spy lurking in the sticky stick office in Dengzhou City? Could this person have rebelled? But the sticky stick guy

If someone rebels, they won’t spread the news to Sihai Tea House!

Who did this? Could it be...

Thinking of this, Cao Xi's heart beat violently and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

...

The snow here in Dengzhou Prefecture is getting heavier and heavier. In the heavy snow, a "refugee team" is pushing a car, carrying luggage, holding "children", and supporting "old people". They are driving all the way and finally arrive

Before dusk, we arrived outside Dengzhou Fucheng.

The inner city and water city of Dengzhou Prefecture are world-famous strong cities. The Danya Mountain where Penglai Pavilion is located next to the water city is also very dangerous - Penglai Pavilion is actually a mountain city! But the outer city of Dengzhou is not very strong.

It looks tall and magnificent, but in fact it is just an ordinary crescent-shaped city wall. It is not a bastion. There are not many "odds and pieces" outside the city wall covered with red bricks. It is just two moats and four city gates. There are two moats in the moats.

Water, but the temperature in Dengzhou Prefecture has plummeted in the past two days, and it is about to freeze. And the four city gates are not protected by urns, they are just simple city gates and towers. They look very beautiful, but their defensive capabilities are not

Too strong.

Moreover, in order to attract more refugees into the city, the four city gates of Dengzhou outer city are opened early every morning and closed until dark. The guards at the city gates are not too embarrassed for the people entering the city, and they still look like
Chapter completed!
