Chapter 41: Exciting Night Attack

After discussing, they returned to the bullock cart, dismantled and reassembled the parts sealed under the cart board, and after a few clicks, several small crossbows appeared out of thin air.

Watch the direction the grain cloth is going, wait until the night becomes darker, wrap the cloth around the arrows, light the fire folds, and divide into two groups, one in the east and one in the west.

With a "swish" sound, the flaming broken arrows shot up into the sky, crossed several parabolas in the quiet darkness, and finally dispersed and landed on several tents.

The sun has been shining brightly these past few days, and the tent was not damp. The fabric caught fire immediately, and the fire spread.

"There is an enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"

The sound of alarm drums and horns sounded, surrounding the camp.

At this time, Fengling and Mu Mingran from the west quickly wiped the throats of the two patrols and dragged them to a dark place to put on Dongxu Army armor without making a sound.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the two of them rejoined the group at the end. Tian An couldn't see each other's faces clearly, and the Dongxu soldiers in front didn't notice that the cores behind them had been changed.

"What happened?" Because things were some distance away and we could only hear the movement but didn't know the situation, the first team leader asked the other team that came over.

Another team leader said: "There is an enemy attack, and the tent over there has been burned. Do we want to go to support?"

Fengling heard her team leader pointing in her direction and saying, "You two go check out the situation, and the remaining two will continue patrolling."

It was a coincidence that Fengling and Mu Mingran were suddenly selected. They could only nod in agreement and rush to the east. The other team also assigned two people to go with them.

After walking three or four tents, the two of them solved the trouble one by one and turned to the other side. That was the direction where the food was being pulled, but they didn't know which tent it was in.

"Look for them separately."

Fengling whispered to Mu Mingran, and immediately split up and started turning over tents one by one.

Although the Dongxu Army was in a panic, it was not out of order. Most of the patrols were still on duty. Fengling avoided it carefully and passed by the edge of danger several times. If it had been daytime, she would have been there long ago.

was discovered.

"Stop!" Suddenly someone shouted from behind.

Feng Ling's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't listen to the movement of her feet. She pretended not to hear and continued walking.

After walking a few steps, someone behind her stepped forward and put his hand on her shoulder, forcing her to stop.

"What about you, are you deaf?" the other party scolded. From the sound of her voice, she sounded like a middle-aged woman.

When she turned around again, Fengling had already controlled her expression and scratched her head in confusion: "Ah? You called me? Sorry, I'm a little deaf."

Fengling spoke with Dongxu's accent as soon as she opened her mouth, and her facial features were deep and majestic, giving her a mixed-blood look. The man took one look at her and said, "You are deaf, you need to be cured."

"Yes, yes, yes." Fengling nodded and bowed, her attitude was very good, "Do you have anything to do with me, sir?"

She handed the food box she was holding to Fengling's hand and said: "This is the soothing soup that His Highness requested. You deliver it to His Highness' tent. You must deliver it before His Highness comes back, otherwise you will be beaten with a stick."

Did you hear me?"

Fengling was at a loss when he was ordered to do so: "Ah, this... villain..."

When the man saw that she was unwilling, he raised a straight face and shouted angrily: "Go quickly!"

"Oh." Feng Ling lowered her head dejectedly, and left with the food box in her hands. She heard the person behind her grunting and running away.

I wanted to throw away the food box, but the soldiers patrolling this area have gradually returned, and the number of people has begun to increase. One person's actions may arouse suspicion, so I can only use the food box to cover up.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

On the pretext of delivering food, she checked eight or nine tents, and three of them were guarded, indicating that the things inside were more important, but she couldn't get close enough to see which one they were.

She walked to the nearest tent and asked the guard: "Sister, I'm lost. Where is His Highness's tent? I searched all over and couldn't find it."

The guard was not alert and laughed after hearing this: "You are not good at finding directions by nature. You can get lost in such a big place."

Fengling was surprised: "How do you know? I have never been able to tell the difference between east, west and north since I was a child. I was originally on patrol, and an adult asked me to deliver him because he was in need of urination. I had to deliver it before His Highness came back. I was almost dying of anxiety!

"

She made the two of them laugh with her anxious expression, and out of a good mood she gave him directions. Fengling was grateful and ran in that direction. Before leaving, she glanced at the scene in the gap between the curtains. Bags of things were piled up.

Get up, no surprise, it’s food.

But she did not act rashly, because she suddenly discovered that the food was separated, which showed that the people who arranged it were very careful. They had to find multiple locations and burn them down to cut off their food rations.

After using this method of asking for directions three times, she found another food storage tent.

But when passing by a place, someone saw the food box in her hand and stopped her: "You are delivering soup to His Highness, right? Why are you standing there standing there in a hurry? His Highness will be back soon, be careful with her."

I’ll punish you!”

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Fengling smoothly pushed into His Highness's tent. The man said, "Come out as soon as you finish delivering." Then he left. There was no one guarding the door, so she looked around in the tent.

Your Highness, isn't it Duo Tu'er? She has indeed escaped. She is capable of escaping from Qi Xinai.

Fengling placed the so-called nourishing soup on the table and planned to leave and continue looking for the next tent.

"Your Highness, you are back. Do you want to prepare bath water?"

Suddenly, the conversation at the door was getting closer and closer. One of them was Duo Tu'er. She had seen her before, and she would definitely be a gangster if she went out at this time.

However, after thinking for a moment, Fengling immediately hid behind a cabinet and huddled into the shadow. As soon as she hid the door curtain, someone opened the door and walked in. She didn't dare to stretch her head to look at a few people, but judging by their footsteps, they should be two people.

.

She kept her breathing to a minimum.

"Your Highness, who do you think set the fire tonight? You and Qi Xinai had a falling out, could it be her?"

"She doesn't seem like someone who would do such a meaningless thing. She ordered us to be vigilant tonight, especially in the important food areas, to prevent attacks from the east to the west."

Oops, Mu Mingran is going to have a hard time getting it.

As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Fengling suddenly felt that something was not right. Isn't this Princess Dongxu a brainless and reckless person? Why is she speaking so well and logically now?

She calmly continued to observe.

"Yes." The subordinate agreed. He was very obedient to His Highness in his words, and asked: "I have a guess that the people who set the fire this time will be the same group of people last time? Since it is not Qi Xin Ai Fang

Yes, then who is it? Originally we just wanted to look for opportunities to attack again, but there were actually people who were more anxious to capture Yucheng than us."

Feng Ling's pupils in the dark shrank, and she was surprised. The cause of Yucheng's fall was not Qi Xinai!

This unexpected news disrupted her thoughts again. The fake imperial guards were probably not Qi Xinai's people, and the fake Fengyang army burning food and grass was not Qi Xinai's intention. Then who was it? Who made Qi Xinai take the blame?

, but he hid himself without a trace.

She felt that more and more people were involved in this vortex, and things were becoming more and more complicated. In addition to Qi Xinai, there was also...

My heart suddenly sank, and I suddenly had inspiration.

Lanyue!

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

There are many signs such as the assassination of Duduer that he just wanted to fight. If he was the one who burned the grain and grass, it would make sense. What exactly did he want to do and why did he want to cause a war?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was immersed in her own thoughts. Several words had been said there. After she calmed down, she continued to listen.

"The informant sent news that the letters sent from the Imperial City to Cangzhou, Jiangzhou and other neighboring jurisdictions were intercepted by Qi Xinai. At present, the states have no intention of sending troops to assist Weizhou. If we send troops to attack tomorrow, Licheng will definitely

Take it."

Fengling heard Duo Tu'er sneer and said slowly: "Qi Xinai thought she could use us to achieve her own goals, but she never expected that we would be used by us in turn. Now she has lost the trust of the Emperor and has fallen out with us again.

, Two-faced people are not human beings, and they will suffer a lot."

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Chen family will come back soon. When they fight internally, it will be more beneficial to us. Congratulations, Your Highness, great things will happen."

Fengling: Ugh, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!

Dutul: "We can't take it lightly yet. The Emperor is not a simple person. He killed me in the name of Qiu Lie this time. I still can't understand the reason behind it. This person is a ruthless character."

"The male emperor of Fengyang is in a man's body, how can he be an ordinary boudoir man? This assassination was really a near miss, but your highness can rest assured that the people sent are all dead soldiers. Even if they are tortured, they will not reveal half of it.

Literally, this crime will only be punished by Qi Xinai." The subordinate said.

Dutul: "So what if I tell them, I look like another person in their eyes, and they will never think of me."

"Your Highness is smart."

Fengling was already numb. After receiving such a huge amount of information at once, this tent was really the right one. Just now she had guessed that the fake imperial guards were ordered by Lan Yue, but it was immediately overturned, and it turned out to be Duo Tuer.

Directed and acted by myself.

So even if she hadn't gone up to rescue her, she wouldn't have been in danger for her life. Lan Yue, Qi Xin Ai, and Duo Tu'er, the three parties didn't want to settle the matter and quell the war, they all wanted to fight, right?

Duo Tu'er's reason is understandable: to expand the territory and occupy fertile land. But as Qi Xinai, an important minister of the Fengyang court, and Lan Yue, the king of Fengyang, what incredible reason do they have to go to war?

As one of the top six princesses of Fengyang, it was heartbreaking to see the country being put into crisis by two people in high positions.

While thinking about it, one of them had already left, and only Duo Tuer and Fengling, who had not been discovered, were left in the camp. From time to time, patrols would pass by outside, adding a bit of noise to the night and covering up Fengling's gentle breathing.

She squatted in that corner, unable to find a chance to go out for a while. Not long after, the servants brought a large bucket of bath water and bathing supplies. The sound of water and the fragrance came, and Duduer got into the bucket to take a bath.

.

After a few breaths, she tried to stretch out half of her head to see what was going on outside. Water mist was rising, and a piece of black hair spread out on the edge of the bucket. She raised an arm from the water. It was slightly slender, and her skin tone was whiter than the exposed part.

.

She suddenly remembered that when she was pulling out arrows for Duo Tu'er, her legs and legs had very little hair. Although they were thick, the bones in her ankles and neck were thin and had more meat, so she was slightly fat.

How does this person look like a man? She complained in her heart.

Random thoughts were just random thoughts, and without any delay in his movements, he gently leaned towards the tent door curtain.

Three meters, two and a half meters, two meters, one and a half meters, one meter, getting closer and closer, and it seemed that he was about to run away successfully, and Duo Tuer didn't notice it. However, at this time, bad luck came to him, and someone called at the door.

Dotul.

Then Duo Tuer would definitely turn his head and look at the door curtain when he heard this. Thinking of this possibility, his muscles reacted faster than his brain. By the time he reacted, he had already rolled to the edge of the tub and was hiding himself.

Fengling:...So why did she choose to hide here???
