In the morning, the prince was furious.

Last night, the masked man told him that it was not King Yu who was in the prison. He was afraid that King Yu had left Beijing and gone to Saibei.

He had no choice but to send an elite team overnight to inquire.

If King Yu is here, ask Wu Yuan to kill the two of them without mercy!

But I didn't expect that I would go to court this morning and receive a note from the Lord of Zhao'an County.

The excerpt said that General Wu Yuan contracted the disease in the capital and spread it to people in the military camp. General Wu Yuan of Zhenbei was also seriously ill and died on the road.

Zhao'an County was responsible for the plague formula, and at the same time requested the deputy general Ji Xiong to serve as the general of Zhenbei.

This...Wu Yuan is dead?

The prince stared at the words on the fold.

The epidemic itself was fake. He had been suffering from it for so many days. In addition to severe itching and unbearable pain, he occasionally had low-grade fever, but it was not fatal.

Wu Yuan's death was definitely not a normal one.

The Zhenbei Army was the closest army to the capital. Originally, the prince was counting on Wu Yuan to conspire with him inside and outside to take down the 30,000 imperial troops guarding the outskirts of the capital under the control of the sixth prince.

Now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid that King Yu is behind it again.

Ji Xiong?

Princess Zhao'an took the initiative to petition the emperor for him, and even spoke favorably for the man in the memorial.

Did this person also switch sides?

The prince suddenly felt as if the shield he relied on had become a spear aimed at him.

If this is the case, let alone the Sixth Prince.

If he forcibly ascends the throne at this time, he is afraid that King Yu on the other side will lead his men and rebel immediately.

Even with the troops from the Yulin Army and the Imperial Guard Division that he had managed to win over in the capital, plus his Jinyi Guards, there were only 50,000 people.

It would be nice if the Sixth Prince didn't add insult to injury. It was impossible to help him.

At that time, the throne can only be given to that King Yu.

The prince suddenly lost his mind.

After saying goodbye to the court, he hurried to the emperor's palace.

"Where is the father?"

The bed is empty.

Doctor Zhang, who had been staying here, replied: "The emperor has been feeling unwell after taking the medicine. He is currently in the palace and has not come out yet."

The smell of medicine, incense, and a special odor mixed together in the room, making the prince feel sick as soon as he stepped in, and then went to the outer room to take a breath.

"How long?"

"It's time for a stick of incense." Dr. Zhang followed behind and carefully replied, "It seems that I have drawn a lot of blood again. I'm afraid..." It won't last long.

It was a capital crime to murder the emperor, but Dr. Zhang did not make it clear.

The prince's face was grave. When the masked man gave him the poisonous insect, he tried to ask if there was an antidote for the poisonous insect.

The masked man said that there is no cure for this poison.

Before he could inquire about the situation of the Saibei Army, the emperor could not get into trouble. He asked the imperial doctor to drag his father's life no matter what.

The prince turned around and returned to the prince's womb.

The masked man now lives in his palace as a counselor.

The prince found the masked man and told him about the morning meeting.

"This King Yu must be hiding in the military camp escorted by Princess Zhao'an." The prince threw the memorial to the masked man, "This King Yu is already preparing to rebel."

The masked man wearing a black cloak and covering his head glanced at it.

Holding hands behind his back, he came to the window and looked at the heavy clouds in the sky. A bird flew past his eyes.

"The Zhenbei military camp is only 800 miles away from the capital. There are nearly 6,000 troops. Including the baggage, no matter how fast they travel, they can only travel 60 miles per day. They have not yet reached the military camp stationed in Saibei."

"You mean, we send people directly to the Saibei military camp first and order the army to be taken over?" The prince asked tentatively, "Wu Yuan only brought 600 people on this trip, but the large army had 100,000 people. But this sent

Who will take over?"

"General Wu Yuan's wife is still in Beijing." The masked man looked away.

The prince said: "Here, General Wu Yuan left in a hurry and did not take his wife with him."

"Then let her make a hard trip with the imperial edict." The masked man suddenly raised his lips in an evil manner, "It's a hard journey, so let's leave her two children in the capital."

When Wu Yuan's wife Wei Jiarou received the imperial edict issued by the prince in the tone of an emperor, she was almost stunned.

She is a woman, and she is asked to guard the military camp in place of her late husband!

Wei Jiarou was already very hostile to the prince when he forcibly married her to the old and ugly General Zhenbei for a second marriage.

However, the child is her flesh and blood, and now she has become the prince's hostage.

She could only accept the imperial edict and set off to appease the Zhenbei Army.

The person escorting Wei Jiarou was the master of the secret guard camp, and the general who received the holy order to take over the management of the place was Mr. Zhang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

Master Zhang's wife is also in the hands of the prince.

The prince promoted the newly promoted Beizhen Fu Shi to Commander of the Imperial Guards.

In order to reach the military camp outside the Great Wall ahead of Ruan Ningxiang's large army, Master Zhang took Wu Jiarou without even riding in the carriage, and rode on horseback day and night.

When Wei Jiarou arrived despite the cold wind, she didn't expect that she was still a step too late.

The soldiers of the Lord of Zhao'an County moved very fast.

It only took twelve days to reach the military camp.

Because there is an epidemic.

The large troops did not return directly to the military camp, but were stationed ten miles away.

This is the only official road in the continuous mountains, and further north is the border of Beidu Kingdom.

It will be dark today, so Ruan Ningxiang arranged for the Crown Prince of Beidu to stay one more night and escort him on his way back tomorrow.

The prince of Beidu Kingdom did not refuse.

Wei Jiarou obeyed Master Zhang's order.

The prince gave two orders. One was to take over the army of Saibei if it was successful.

One is if it's too late, then find a way to kill King Yu and Princess Zhao'an.

If nothing else works, just kill the prince of Beidu Kingdom.

In short, if we can't take down the Zhenbei Army, then it will be destroyed.

Late at night, the moonlight was hazy, as if covered with a layer of gauze.

Master Zhang wore black night clothes, took twenty dead men, and sneaked in quietly.

However, the moment they stepped in, they were ambushed by Ruan Ningxiang.

Suddenly the surroundings lit up with torches.

Wrap them up one after another.

Lieutenant General Ji Xiong, who was wearing armor, came over, as well as Ruan Ningxiang, who heard the noise.

"Master Zhang?" Ruan Ningxiang was really surprised.

She sent the imperial edict, and the prince, who knew the epidemic was fake, would definitely send someone over.

There had been an ambush before, and they all committed suicide by swallowing poison. They should be people from the secret guard camp.

At that time, Ruan Ningxiang knew that she was the prince's person, but there was no evidence.

Now, a new wave has arrived, and it’s still a big fish.

Ruan Ningxiang stomped her steps, "Master Zhang has traveled thousands of miles and sneaked up to my tent with a knife in the middle of the night. What's the matter?"

Mr. Zhang turned his dark eyes and said, "The emperor has a decree, I can come to see the princess."

"Oh?" Ruan Ningxiang was carrying Chunxue Dao behind her back, looking at him with hostile eyes, deliberately emphasizing, "What is the urgent call? We need Master Zhang. If you sneak in late at night, you can't wait until tomorrow."
