Chapter 169 Your Highness, I am your person tonight

Above Taihu Lake, the water waves are not stirring.

The prince looked at the flying pigeon in his hand and his face was so gloomy that he could even twist out the water.

The maids below lowered their heads, not even breathing.

They could all feel that the prince at this time was like a volcano that was about to erupt, burning them all.

The prince's eyes stared at the contents of the Feige's letter.

...The fifth prince, one day and one night, rushed hundreds of miles, broke the Black Dragon Village, and killed the thief leader Zhu Kui...

This news is a bolt from the blue for the crown prince who is determined to win the position of Wei Qing.

quick!

Too fast!

The fifth brother is too fast!

It was so fast that the prince couldn't believe it.

Lao Wu is the slowest among the princes.

It was twenty days later than the third brother who left the first time.

It was half a month slower than him.

As a result, over the past half month, he, the third and the sixth brothers have made limited progress and have not yet captured a village of water bandits. It can only be said that he has gained limitedly.

The prince also believed that this was a normal progress.

After all, Taihu water bandits also have a few tricks.

Although he was not the opponent of the Imperial Guard, he was elusive and cunning. From time to time, he could emerge from inexplicable places and suddenly gave them a ruthless blow.

Therefore, in the past half a month, the Imperial Guard has been advancing very slowly and has not yet touched the bandits' nest.

but……

Lao Wu had just arrived in Taihu Lake and wiped out Heilongzhai in just one day.

This kind of record made the prince frightened.

It seemed that the Taihu water bandits who had been entangled with them were mud-stuck in front of Lao Wu and were vulnerable.

If Lao Wu continued like this, wouldn’t it be another half a month before all the Taihu bandits would be wiped out by him?

For a moment, the prince felt a great crisis in his heart.

For a moment, the prince was panicked and anxious.

He quickly invited his confidant Mr. Dong.

"Mr. Dong, save me!"

After seeing the information, Mr. Dong's mood sank into the bottom of the valley. After thinking for a while, he whispered in the prince's ear and gave the prince two attention.

After hearing Mr. Dong's attention, the prince calmed down a little.

"Please come here."

The prince gave an order, and soon Luo Jiuding, the owner of Yujian Villa, walked into the prince's cabin.

Luo Jiuding was confused at this time.

In the past, at this time, the prince was still looking for fun in the cabin and not letting others disturb him.

How could I summon myself today?

Is it because you are dissatisfied with the advancement of the front line?

But this should also be found in Chen Qibo, not in himself.

With doubts in mind, Luo Jiuding walked into the cabin and bowed to the prince.

"Meet Your Highness."

The prince didn't say much, and directly handed the small note of Fei Ge's letter to Luo Jiuding.

"Mr. Luo, take a look, this is the latest news."

Luo Jiuding showed a slight surprise on his face, and then he heard the prince's explanation.

“About Lao Wu.”

The fifth prince!

Luo Jiuding's face became solemn.

He naturally knew that in this battle for the position of Wei Weiqing, the prince's biggest competitor was Wei Yanfeng, who defected to the fifth prince.

However, because the fifth prince did not take action in the imperial capital, it delayed for more than half a month.

In Luo Jiuding's view, Wei Yanfeng has basically been eliminated early.

After all, it has been delayed for half a month. What can I make up for this half month?

Therefore, during this period, Yujian Villa did not attach much importance to the fifth prince.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with the fifth prince?"

"Mr. Luo, you will know after reading it!"

Luo Jiuding felt a sudden thrill when he saw the prince's unhappy expression.

Could it be that the fifth prince has made great progress?

Luo Jiuding looked at the latest information on the note, and his face suddenly became gloomy. Nothing was much better than the prince.

But in addition to being full of shock, Luo Jiuding was more confused and curious in his heart.

What did the Fifth Prince and the others do?

One day and one night, he defeated the Heilong Village and killed the leader Zhu Kui.

Zhu Kui, is he a savory meal?

I can't hold it even a day and a night!

Luo Jiuding couldn't help but scold Zhu Kui to death.

Zhu Kui, you don’t care if you die by yourself, but you will ruin our plan with the prince!

Luo Jiuding understood that the prince summoned him to come, which must be to discuss how to deal with the fifth prince.

"What are your instructions?" Luo Jiuding asked.

The prince cleared his throat and said slowly.

"Mr. Luo, you take the people from Yujian Villa to Gusu County and stare at Lao Wu."

"You have two tasks. One is to understand what is the reason why Lao Wu is so powerful? Has Lao Wu made something strange and strange? If so, try to steal the drawings."

"The second is to cause some trouble to Lao Wu and slow down Lao Wu's attacking footwork."

After hearing the prince's words, Luo Jiuding thought about something.

"Your Highness, do you suspect that there is a new mechanism on the fifth prince? Something similar to the true Qi cannon?"

"That's right!"

"Wei Yanfeng and Chen Qibo are only half a dozen, but with Wei Yanfeng's ability, it is impossible to defeat the Black Dragon Village day and night."

"I guess, it must be the work of Lao Wu again."

The prince was filled with fear of Ji Tianci.

In the past, although Lao Wu was favored and poses great threat to him, the struggle between him and Lao Wu still had back and forth.

But since the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, he has been suppressed by Lao Wu and never raised his head again.

This made the prince both anxious and fearful.

"Don't worry, your highness, I will take my villa's disciples to Gusu County."

Luo Jiuding agreed in one go.

They are very strong in swordsmanship and are good at fighting alone, but they don’t play a big role in large-scale military operations and the elimination of water bandits.

It’s better to go to Gusu County and stare at the movements of the fifth prince.

After Luo Jiuding stood up and went to Gusu County, the prince recruited Chen Qibo and Meng Guanghan again.

"General Chen, Wei Yanfeng's side has already taken down the Black Dragon Village!"

"impossible!"

Chen Qibo subconsciously blurted out.

Wei Yanfeng has some ability, don’t he know yet?

Wei Yanfeng went south and finished half a month ahead of himself. How could he take down a water bandit village before himself?
