The third prince of Yue Kingdom was imprisoned in a cave for more than ten days. He could only hear the constant sound of wind in his ears and felt that he was wrapped in something all day long, as if he was flying in the clouds. But his eyes could not see anything.
, at first he was horrified, but slowly he realized that those fox-faced monsters had no intention of harming him, they just led him around like this, and fed him food when he settled down, but most of it was fresh flesh and blood, which made him
It makes me feel sick, but I have to eat it.
Occasionally, those monsters would make a squeaking sound, but they couldn't understand what they were saying. The third prince didn't know how much time had passed. Now, he was still thrown into a cave as usual, surrounded by silence, and he groped around.
There were stones all around, and the sound of water dripping could be heard from time to time. The third prince also felt thirsty, so he groped for the sound of water drops, opened his mouth to catch the drops and drank.
Just as the water was dripping, he heard someone's voice. The third prince hurried back to the place and lay on the ground without moving. He heard footsteps approaching, and then heard someone say: "Xianjia, our prince has already gone with that person.
I made an agreement that as soon as the city of Hangzhou is dedicated, I will build you a Fox Fairy Temple by the West Lake of Hangzhou so that you can be worshiped by all the people."
Then a strange voice said: "This is what your prince promised me, and he said that if he dares to violate the original oath, I will make him and the Huo family live in peace."
The person who spoke first quickly responded: "Xianjia, please don't be angry. It's just that now my prince is asking the Xianjia to see what his fortune will be in the future. Will he still be able to enjoy the glory he has now?"
After a while, the strange voice said: "He will be in trouble in the near future!"
The man from before quickly asked: "Xianjia, please tell me how to crack it?"
"Humph, the secret must not be leaked. Okay, you can leave quickly. I am also going to Penglai Fairy Mountain." The strange voice ignored the man's question and issued an eviction order. Then he heard the footsteps gradually walking away.
.
The third prince was confused and confused. He tried to feel around, and based on his memory, he crawled in the direction where the footsteps left. He didn't know how long he crawled, but when he tried it with his hands, the front became dry, and there was wind blowing on him.
He couldn't help being overjoyed, he speeded up and climbed out as hard as he could. When he felt that there was something hanging in the air in front of him, he moved to one side again, groping and climbing at the same time.
The third prince was extremely ruthless and used all methods to torture prisoners and enemies. He was also extremely tolerant towards himself. His hands and knees were pricked by sharp stones and weeds, which caused blood dripping and heart-wrenching pain, but he didn't care at all.
, gritted his teeth and just crawled forward.
He didn't know how long he had been climbing, but the third prince could feel that the terrain ahead was flat, as if he had descended the hill and reached the foot of the mountain. He did not dare to relax, so he continued to crawl. He felt that he was some distance away from the cave where he was imprisoned.
He calmed down a little, and as soon as his heart relaxed, he fainted.
When the third prince woke up again, he heard someone calling in his ear: "General, come quickly, prince is ready."
Then a loud voice said: "Third Prince, are you awake? General Wang Qi will see you."
The third prince actually remembered that there was a guard named Wang Qi. At this time, he did not care to think about it and asked hurriedly: "Where is this? Where is my father?"
Then General Wang Qi replied: "Prince, you are in our city of Wen, and the emperor has now moved to Fucheng!"
The third prince asked hurriedly: "Whose hands is Hangzhou now?"
"Hangcheng is currently guarded by Prince Huo's troops!" Wang Qi replied.
The third prince ignored the pain on his body and shouted to Wang Qi: "Send me to my father as soon as possible!" After shouting, he fainted again.
When the King of Yue saw the third prince in the palace, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Although the third prince's eyes were still there, he could no longer see. Although his hair and clothes had been changed, his hands were wrapped with cloth, and there was blood oozing out from his knees.
The cloth belt on his clothes also oozed dark red blood. Is this still his high-spirited third prince?
The third prince woke up again and heard the King of Yue calling him in his ear. He felt the hand of the King of Yue caressing his face, and he burst into tears. The father and son hugged each other and cried for a long time, and then the third prince remembered that there was something important.
The matter had to be reported to the King of Yue, so he said to the King of Yue: "Father, please leave everyone, I have something important to report."
The King of Yue also saw that the third prince's face was solemn, so he asked the left and right to retreat.
The third prince heard no sound from all around, and then asked: "Father, why did you leave Hangzhou and move to Fucheng?"
The King of Yue sighed and said: "The Qi army captured Ningcheng and Huangfu Nianfeng was defeated. Huo Zhishan asked for orders to guard Hangzhou. Let me temporarily avoid the Qi army and move the palace."
The third prince nodded and told the King of Yue in detail about the news he heard in the cave. When the King of Yue heard that the demon fox actually said that Prince Huo was in great danger recently, he thought that he wanted to spread the news that Prince Huo and his son had come to Fucheng to bring him to Fucheng.
They killed him. Only he knew about it in his heart, and no one else knew about it. The demon fox actually figured it out. It seemed that even God wanted to kill the Huo family and his son.
The King of Yue also told the third prince what happened today, saying that Prince Huo and Li Guogong colluded and wanted to betray him, so he had no choice but to use the excuse of Huo Yuan's marriage to Li Ling to kill the Huo family and his son.
When the third prince heard that Li Guogong was also involved, he could not help but clench his teeth and said: "Father, if it weren't for the Li sisters, I would not have ended up like this. When the Huo family father and son are executed, the Li family sisters will be handed over to
Let me deal with it!"
The King of Yue also knew that the third prince must have hated the Li sisters in his heart for suffering such a hardship, so he couldn't bear to let him down and agreed to live.
At this time, in a courtyard in a market town on the outskirts of Fucheng, King Wuyou was chatting with Gu Yuetian and others. Gu Yuetian and Peng Yunzhan had teased the third prince for many days, and from time to time they would catch him on the swing and swing on it.
For half a day, he whirred the wind in his ears with a cattail leaf fan, and hit the third prince's cheek with the branch several times, making him feel like he was flying around all day long.
They performed a double act in the cave, and used his mouth to tell the story to the King of Yue to ascertain the King of Yue's suspicion of Prince Huo.
At this time, news had come from Hangzhou that Huangfu Nianfeng had arrived in Hangzhou with the imperial ministers, relieved Prince Huo of his military duties, and sent troops to 'protect' him as he came to Fucheng. As for the upper city, Huo Yuan had not yet made any move, although
The imperial envoy and the general who took over the military affairs have gone, but there is no news of Huo Yuan's handover with them.
King Wuyou had made a plan with Zilong and Zhuge Qingyun many days ago to destroy Ningcheng and attack Lin'an, which caused a rift between Huangfu Nianfeng and Prince Huo. Then Zhuge Qingyun found a secretary and imitated Prince Huo's handwriting.
He wrote a letter and planned to lure Huangfu Nianfeng to attack the camp at night. He then pretended to be Li Guogong's confidant and took the letter with him, waiting for Huangfu Nianfeng to take the bait.
Now according to the wishes of the King of Yue, he has fallen into the trap of alienating the Huo family and his son.
Gu Yuetian said about the third prince: "This prince, I heard, would do anything to harm others. If he fell into my hands, I would destroy his eyes first and only let him hear the sound.
You want to scare him, but you are afraid of exposing your flaws, so you just ignore him. This scares him so much that he is trembling all day long, and you don’t know where the evil courage that used to harm others has gone?"
Ying'er followed, listening to boredom, and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and asked: "Brother Si, will you harm Sister Li Ling and the others with your tricks like this?"
King Wuyou pondered for a moment, looking at Ying'er's eyes looking at him, and he didn't know what to say. Gu Yuetian said: "Then the King of Yue will definitely imprison the Huo family, his son and the whole family this time. As for what will happen to Li Qu's family, I
Guessing is not that good! The King of Yue this time sent the Huo family and his son to Fucheng to marry Huo Yuan and Li Ling. Although this is an excuse, I'm afraid it also contains the King of Yue's malicious intentions!"
Seeing that Gu Yuetian had already spoken, King Wuyou gently put his hand on Ying'er's arm and said to her: "If you are worried about adding sisters there, at worst I will ask Gu Yuetian to pick them out. But, save them."
If we have to let them out, we can only let them fend for themselves, and I can't protect them from danger."
Ying'er pouted and said, "They treat me very well, and I don't want them to suffer."
When Gu Yuetian heard Ying'er say this, he realized that he had spoken in a hurry. No wonder King Wuyou asked him to be responsible for rescuing people. Gu Yuetian was cursing himself for speaking so fast, but he didn't see Wuyou.
The look in the king's eyes. Now seeing that Yinger was a little unhappy, King Wuyou blamed the matter on himself again, so he laughed and said: "Yinger, don't worry about them, we will make a plan and wait until General Zilong captures Hangzhou.
General Zhang Yankun leaves the city again. When our Qi army arrives at Fucheng, I will ask the old man of the King of Yue to release all your good sisters. Is this good?"
Although Ying'er was innocent and naive, she followed King Wuyou all day long and heard some political decisions. She knew that if this matter was involved, there was absolutely no good in it, so she worriedly warned: "Brother Gu Yue, you must remember
, don’t let the Li family’s sister suffer.”
Gu Yuetian squinted at King Wuyou, and saw that King Wuyou just sneered and said nothing. He felt as if he had eaten coptis, and he was suffering in his heart, but he couldn't say anything. Then he saw Ying'er looking at him eagerly, so he could only sigh and said:
"I'll go into the city right away and keep an eye on those two good sisters for you."
Peng Yunzhan and Ye Xing were already laughing.
When Prince Huo saw Huangfu Nianfeng and heard the King of Yue's decree, he already knew that things had changed and that he had been suspected by the King of Yue. However, when he heard that Huo Yuan had married Li Guogong's daughter, he just sighed and didn't think about it further.
He handed over military affairs with Huangfu Nianfeng and headed for Fucheng under the escort of a group of imperial troops.
Huo Yuan was in the upper city, commanding the Vietnamese army to besiege the Qi army. At the same time, he mobilized the Vietnamese army from other cities to besiege the Qi army in the other two places. The Dali army was also resisted by the Yue defenders, and progress was slow. The war on the western front was slow.
Huo Yuan was in a hurry to change his mind. At this time, he received a request from the King of Yue to return to Fucheng to marry the lady of the Li Mansion. Huo Yuan felt that something was fishy. He also heard that his father had been deprived of military power and was rushing to Fucheng to meet the military affairs office in Hangzhou.
It was given to Huangfu Nianfeng. Huo Yuan knew that Huangfu Nianfeng must be operating from it at this time. He was unhappy that he and his father had taken charge of the military power of the Yue Kingdom. But at this time, he left the upper city and handed over the affairs to the newly arrived military generals.
That would undoubtedly ruin the current good war situation.
Some of the generals in the Vietnamese army admired Huo Yuan very much when they saw Huo Yuan's skill in using his troops and won successive victories, so they suggested to him that he should not accept the orders of the foreign emperor. He should first eliminate the Qi army in the city, and then make further calculations.
There were also generals who were close associates of the King of Yue and Marshal Huangfu, so they insisted on obeying the imperial edict, handed over military affairs, returned to Fucheng to get married, and it was not too late to return to the upper city to direct the war.
Although Huo Yuan had a good plan, as King Wuyou said, he lacked decision-making and responsibility. He saw that the generals had different opinions, and the imperial envoy and the generals who were not there rushed him. After two days of delay, the military affairs were handed over.
, although the imperial ministers came together to Fucheng.
