Inside the big tent, the air was silent.

The only sound was the gradually thickening breathing of Zhu Yuheng, who was holding two tokens.

"Switch to Li Zhengyan and fight for another big one..."

He muttered to himself for a while and swallowed.

Zhao Rushi glanced at the night outside the tent with a panic look on his face, turned around and urged:

"Most of the 1,500 soldiers and horses brought by the eldest son are from Hongzhou. They surrendered with the governor and the son. They can easily be brought back to Hongzhou City."

After speaking in a low voice, the lame man stopped talking and looked outside the tent again worriedly.

Zhu Yuheng came to his senses and walked over to put down the curtain. He tried to keep a calm tone and gave a few orders to the secret guards outside. He immediately returned and hurriedly pulled Zhao Rushi deep into the tent, behind the private curtain.

His mouth was a little dry, he held his father's beloved jade ring tightly in his hand, and asked in a hoarse voice:

"If you really want to switch to Xunyang City...don't you want to give up Xunyang City? If you really want to switch to such a good opportunity, why don't you offer the city to me..."

Zhao Rushi shook his head and said in a regretful tone:

"The situation at the Governor's side is different. There are many people in Xunyang City, and there is a female historian who is in the way. The news cannot be concealed. Most of the soldiers who formed the former army are from Jiangzhou, Southeast Yang and Huai, so it is difficult to instigate rebellion.

"Li Zhengyan and Yunmengyue Nu made too much noise. When the matter became urgent, the governor had no choice but to take his personal guards and run away with him. The governor was only concerned about the young master, so he rushed to notify the young master with a special order, fearing that the young master would delay the window.

Expect.

"The official ship in Xunyang was burned, a tragedy occurred in Xunyang Prince's Mansion, and the governor disappeared again. I don't think Jiangzhou City has reacted now. At the latest noon tomorrow, all counties in Jiangzhou will receive the news. The female history supervisor is sure

He will come quickly with his order and take away the fish talisman from the eldest son. There is roughly half a day left!

"The governor's intention is that the eldest son should first go to Hongzhou and surrender, join Cai Qin for reorganization, and then take advantage of the chaos to see if he can capture Jiangzhou, or wait quietly for Li Zhengyan and the governor to gather with the main force, and then make a long-term plan.

"By the way, before the general left, the governor hurriedly muttered to himself when he was giving instructions. Li Gong destroyed the whole family of Xunyang Palace and framed the imperial court and the Wei family. He was trying to steal the great cause of restoration. He may not necessarily have to capture Jiangzhou, but he may have to

He turned to cross the river and led his army northward... I don’t know what it means.”

Zhao Rushi's tone was slightly doubtful.

Zhu Yuheng, who was bowing his head in thought, couldn't help but move his eyes, and opened his mouth to speak, but before he could speak, Zhao Rusu shook his head, patted the back of Zhu Yuheng's hand holding the jade ring and felt hat tightly with his palm, and said worriedly:

"It's almost dawn, the eldest son, prepare quickly. There are still important things to deal with at the end. The governor's concubine and some loyal family members of the bodyguard must be moved away. Just like the last time they defected, eldest son, our Hongzhou City

See!"

The lame man did not stay too long. He bypassed the night patrol soldiers and left with a slightly splayed figure. His figure disappeared in a hurry into the deep darkness of the night.

From sending a message to Zhu Yuheng to leaving in a hurry and worried, it took no more than a quarter of an hour.

He came in a hurry and left in a hurry. He didn't waste a quarter of an hour and didn't give the latter a chance to ask more questions.

After sending away the guards at the entrance of the Chinese army's tent, only Zhu Yuheng's somewhat confused figure was left.

A close acquaintance came over and reported with a wink. The charming little lady had been waiting in the sleeping tent for a long time, but she was quickly sent away by Zhu Yuheng.

At this moment, he was not interested in finding a young lady to change into autumn clothes.

The urgent news brought by his father Xin Zhao Ruzhi, as well as the two hot tokens in his hand, made Zhu Yuheng uneasy.

"How could such a big thing happen suddenly... Is it true... Li Zhengyan has a tripod sword... It looks like a scroll... Wait!"

He put his hands behind his back and wandered in place, thinking to himself:

"Is that Peach Blossom Spring painting actually a tripod sword? I heard Yue Ziang mention it once when he was drunk, saying that it was a Peach Blossom Spring painting. I didn't study it carefully at the time. I guess Yue Ziang didn't know the details. I didn't expect it to be so deep. No wonder Li Zhengyan dared to

Come to rebel...

"There are also female cultivators from Yunmeng, Li Zhengyan, Wei Shaoqi, and Du Shuqing. They seemed to have diverted from Longcheng. They first went to Yunmengze, which was called a sightseeing tour, and then went to Hongzhou City... They were all connected.

Connected...that's it...that's really the case."

Wanting to understand this, Zhu Yuheng, who had been close to the rebels Yue Ziang and Du Shuqing, soaked his shirt with cold sweat.

The night breeze was chilling, but his tense heart suddenly relaxed a little.

At least it's not completely unfounded now. Sometimes people just need a reason to convince themselves.

Zhu Yuheng licked his dry lips, Zhao Rushi's words echoed faintly in his ears.

"My father said that Li Gong did not necessarily want to take Jiangzhou...or cross the river to the north...could it mean that Kuang Fu's army no longer continued to advance eastward along the Yangtze River, wasting away in the southeast, and did not seek to occupy Jinling and conquer it by crossing the river.

"Instead, just like the other feasible route that my father analyzed that night, cross the river directly to the north, advance with great fanfare, straight to Luoyang, the eastern capital, and make a gesture of going straight to Huanglong, signaling to the world that he is willing to rescue Qian, and lead

Responding from all directions, disrupting Hebei and Shandong...

"My father once said that in the dispute between the north and the south, he would definitely choose the north. Li Zhengyan's move must be in line with my father's wishes. In addition, since the Xunyang Prince's Palace was gone, Kuang Fu's army could freely raise the banner of revenge, so he said that he would go to Luoyang, and King Qin would save the remaining

Gaozong's bloodline king, Ling Jia has a picturesque cauldron sword...

"It seems that my father is not only coerced by Li Zhengyan, but he may also be tempted. After all, Kuang Fujun's side has a better ceiling. It is indeed better than being subordinate to others and eating the leftovers of the Wei family. If it can be done..."

Zhu Yuheng lowered his head and murmured, his face dark and unclear for a moment.

After a while, the armored young man stopped slowly, turned his head and glanced at the water clock clepsydra in the corner.

It's almost dawn.

…

After the lame man left the forward garrison on the outskirts of Fushui County, he put his hand on his chin, took off a bronze mask, and stuffed it calmly into his sleeve.

His expression was no longer as anxious as when he was in front of Zhu Yuheng.

Ouyang Rong lowered his head and looked at his feet.

This kind of gait that no one recognizes when walking is the result of long and hard study on the road when he came here. He just showed it, and it was not bad.

The mirage mask can only disguise the appearance, but the walking habits cannot be completely restored, so Ouyang Rong imitated it carefully.

It's strange, I'm used to walking, but I can't seem to get over the horoscope. What's going on...

Ouyang Rong shook his head speechlessly.

After a while, he came to a reed field by the river, covered with stars and moon.

Board a hidden boat and sail down the river back to Jiangzhou.

Ouyang Rong rushed back without stopping. On the river, he raised his head and looked at the sky, which was white with fish belly.

It took a total of one day and two nights from asking for leave and walking into the palace with Qin in my arms to returning now after finishing the work.

Now, by treating the other person in his own way, the conspiracy has been completed, and he can actually go back slowly.

The reason why I returned without rest is just to keep my promise:

Today, Jiangzhou's former army set off for the expedition, and Ouyang Rong said that he would personally send Zhu Lingxu on his way.

Returning to the cabin, he checked the merit points. On that day, he laid out swords in a restaurant on Longcheng Street, met the ritual conditions, and after collecting Zhao Rushi's fake body, he consumed 1,500 merit points.

Now, there are more than 3,600 merits left in the merit tower.

Ouyang Rong nodded lightly.

When I meet my old friend Zhu Lingxu, I won’t need the Cauldron Sword and the Purple Mist of Merit, so I can save a fortune.

We were speechless all the way, and finally arrived at Xunyang City before noon.

Just like before he left, the huge Xunyang City was calm and peaceful.

On the streets, vendors, merchants, monks and Taoists all go about their own business.

The defenders on duty at the west city head changed their defenses as usual.

Everything is as usual, except for the turbulent aftermath of the Ding Sword massacre in Xunyang Prince's Mansion.

Before Ouyang Rong entered the city, he put on the mask again and transformed into a young woman with extremely thin lips.

This was the female worker's fake body that Liu Zian sacrificed and left in the mask when he was in Dragon City. Ouyang Rong is now skilled in using it.

Sure enough, women's clothing only has zero and countless times

He reluctantly dressed as a woman again, bought a piece of pancake on the street, ate the pancake silently, and waited in a certain alley.

After a while, Princess Wei Mei's luxury motorcade passed through the market, and she was taking the palace's maid out to make a purchase in Dongshi.

The figure of the thin-lipped woman blended in.

He returned to Prince Xunyang's Mansion with the others.

There is peace in Xunyang City.

It was not until the afternoon that a piece of urgent frontline news began to reach Xunyang City through various channels...

In the lobby of Jiangzhou.

Zhu Lingxu was the first to receive the news.

Early this morning, Zhu Yuheng led 1,500 forward troops to defect and join Cai Qin's army in Hongzhou.

Looking at the latest military information in his hand, an old face was a little confused.

The first reaction was to make a ridiculous joke.

"How is that possible? It's simply absurd! It's fake. It must be fake. Go and arrest the person who sent the message quickly and clean it up from top to bottom. There are traitors who are rebels and are infiltrating the place to falsely convey military information!"
