The Qi-Wu coalition forces were progressing smoothly, and they broke through many city defenses in Yue like a storm. As the front stretched, King Wuyou and Zilong gradually slowed down their advance and focused more on consolidating the territory they occupied.
Seeing that the battle situation on the northern front had gained an absolute advantage, King Wuyou entrusted the affairs of the Qi and Wu coalition forces to Zilong, with Prince Wu Yingjing to assist him. While advancing steadily, he also swept away the remaining defeated soldiers of the Vietnamese army and ensured that they could directly capture Fucheng from behind.
At this time, there are no worries.
King Wuyou quietly rushed to the upper city, met with Prince Duan and Zhang Yankun, and was responsible for commanding the Qi army and Dali army on the western front to fight against the Vietnamese army led by Huo Yuan.
King Wuyou asked Peng Yunzhan and others to escort Ying'er and the others to the city first, while he sneaked into Fucheng with Gu Yuetian and Lu Zheng. Naturally, there were Qi State's meticulous work in Fucheng, and King Wuyou was settled. Wuyou
The king asked them to find out as soon as possible the current situation of Prince Huo's Mansion and Duke Li's Mansion.
When the lights were on at night, several craftsmen returned to the yard and reported the news to King Wuyou. Everyone knew that Prince Huo had died of illness, but there were several theories about the cause of death, one of which was
It is said that Lord Huo came back from the palace and bled to death. General Huo's wife Li Ling left the Huo Mansion and disappeared, and her whereabouts are still unknown. Duke Li Guogong and his wife lost two beloved daughters in a row, and they were both depressed and ill. The garrison in Fucheng is now about
There are more than 30,000 people, all of whom are the direct line of the Yue King's imperial army. They have strong combat power. The third prince is commanding the army.
When King Wuyou heard that Lord Huo was dead, he just shook his head. But when he heard that the third prince commanded the tens of thousands of defenders in Fucheng, he laughed unconsciously and said: "A blind man actually came to guard Fucheng. It seems that Fucheng is only in Fucheng."
It will be captured by General Zilong soon."
After saying that, King Wuyou said to Gu Yuetian: "Let's go to Prince Huo's Mansion. No matter how you say it, Prince Huo can be regarded as a loyal man, and his tragic death was also caused by my tricks. If you can tell Princess Huo
Go and persuade Huo Yuan, and that will save us a lot of trouble in our battle on the Western Front."
Xizuo also hurriedly explained the recent situation in the Huo Mansion in detail, and finally said: "The Huo Mansion was heavily guarded in the past few days. Ever since King Huo died, the guard in front of the house has been relaxed.
King Wuyou looked outside, and saw that the night was already deep. It was the middle of winter, but Fucheng was located in the south of China, and the temperature was still warm. Needless to say, the ground was already freezing cold.
Gu Yuetian and King Wuyou arrived near Prince Huo's Mansion. Except for the main entrance, there were several soldiers guarding the door. There was nothing unusual around. Gu Yuetian investigated carefully, and then he and King Wuyou went to the side door. He first
After entering and opening the door, King Ashoka walked in from the side door.
Princess Huo was alone in the house grieving. She had just lost Prince Huo and her daughter-in-law. The old princess had hardly had any food or rice for many days in a row. Most of the servants and maids in the mansion were sent away by the old housekeeper, except for a few.
The caring home still stayed in the house to serve. King Wuyou and Gu Yuetian walked to the door of Princess Huo's room. Gu Yuetian looked around and knocked on the door. Princess Huo said: "Come in!"
"
King Wuyou gently opened the door and stepped into the room. The old princess looked up and saw a young master walking in, and was startled. But after all, she was also someone who had seen wind and waves, and her face quickly returned to calmness, with a calm expression.
He asked: "Do you still want to kill them all? What did my Huo family do to make the King of Yue treat my Huo family so cruelly?!"
King Wuyou bowed deeply and said: "Where did the old princess go? I came to visit late at night because there are many people during the day and it is inconvenient. I am a good friend of Brother Huo Yuan. I passed by here and heard that Prince Huo passed away.
, as a junior, I came to express my condolences and visit your old man by the way."
Seeing the sincerity of King Wuyou's words and the fact that he was wearing plain clothes and scarf, Princess Huo thought about it and thought that she had nothing to gain at this time, so the young master would not have any ill intentions. It seemed that he was really Huo Yuan's friend.
Thinking about it, since the Huo family lost power, no one has come here. After King Huo died, the house became even more deserted. This young man does have good intentions.
Seeing that Princess Huo's expression was no longer wary, King Wuyou continued, "Old man, would you like me to call you aunt?"
After hearing this, Princess Huo felt warm in her heart. She had not heard this greeting for many days. Tears welled up in her eyes. She stood up and said, "Good boy, if Auntie is willing, you can just call me. I can come from far away."
With a friend like you, it's not a waste of time for him to make friends with you." Princess Huo thought in her heart that when the Huo family was in power, there were countless people who had friends with Prince Huo and Huo Yuanzhi. Now she can't find any of them, although she doesn't blame them.
Snobbish, but the difference is too big.
King Wuyou looked at Princess Huo and sighed in his heart, saying: "Auntie, I am actually from Qi. I met Brother Huo Yuan in Hangcheng and I am also familiar with Li Guogong's two daughters. At first, for my concubine
You even had a conflict with the Third Prince, I wonder if it was because of my drag that caused Prince Huo to behave like this!"
After hearing this, Princess Huo generally remembered some of the original events, but Princess Huo was not a confused person. She also heard Prince Huo tell you about the situation at that time. Princess Huo said: "Young Master, please don't say that.
My master himself lost power and died of illness, how can he blame you?"
When I said this, I thought of my daughter-in-law Li Ling again, and suddenly I started to feel sad and shed tears.
King Wuyou quickly asked: "Aunt, but I think of Prince Huo again. My nephew really shouldn't mention those past events."
Princess Huo said: "I was thinking of my daughter-in-law. Young Master, I also heard people say that your wife is a fairy who can drive the fox fairy to save the second young lady of Li Guogong. I wonder if you can save my poor life."
Daughter-in-law! Old woman, I will kneel down for you!"
As Princess Huo was about to kneel down, King Wuyou stepped forward to support her and said to her, "What did Auntie say? I really don't know who said it. My wife is just an ordinary woman with a kind heart.
But she is definitely not a fairy. Miss Li Long is also blessed with profound blessings, so she will naturally turn good fortune into good fortune. As for Li Ling, I really don’t know what’s going on with her, and I don’t know how to save her!”
Princess Huo couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard that King Wuyou meant to refuse. She cried and said, "Do you know the whereabouts of the second young lady of the Li family? Why don't you ask her to save her sister?" As she said this, Princess Huo suddenly
Thinking of something, he took King Wuyou's hand and said, "Sir, I want to ask you something. Can you go to the military camp quickly, see my Yuan'er, tell him, and let him find a way to come back to save you as soon as possible?"
wife."
King Wuyou helped the old princess to sit down on a chair, and then asked: "Auntie, what happened to Li Ling?"
Princess Huo told the story of that day, saying that Li Ling was taken away by her family members and there was no news after that. When Li Guogong found out that he had visited the Huo Mansion later, he almost fainted when he found out that she was tricked out of the house by her family members.
, that family member was indeed an old man in his mansion, but he was found dead outside the city the next day. Li Guogong guessed that it was the third prince, but there was no evidence. Although he went to find the King of Yue, the King of Yue only ordered a search throughout the city;
I went to see the third prince, but he ignored me.
After hearing this, King Wuyou nodded and said: "Auntie, since Li Ling and my wife are sisters, I naturally have to take care of her after I know about it. What's more, she is still the wife of Brother Huo Yuan, so I have to take care of her even more."
After that, he turned back to look at Gu Yuetian, nodded to him, then turned back to Princess Huo and cupped her hands, saying: "Auntie, I'll go back first, and I'll get Li Ling back before tomorrow. But this Huo Mansion is
It’s unbearable to live in, so please come with me to the outside of the city, and I’ll take you and Li Ling to Brother Huo’s military camp!”
After hearing this, Princess Huo couldn't help but beam with joy. She stood up and took King Wuyou's arm and asked, "Xiannephew, are you telling the truth? Can you rescue my daughter-in-law and send us two to find Yuan'er?"
!”
King Wuyou nodded and said: "Auntie, please don't make any noise. I will send someone to pick you up tomorrow. Just follow them and stop caring about everything in this house."
Princess Huo nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay, as long as my daughter-in-law can be found, we and my wife will go with my nephew to find Yuan'er. I don't want anything, but I will only take the master's ashes with me."
King Wuyou and Gu Yuetian came out quietly. They went back to their residence first. Gu Yuetian called a craftsman and asked him to take him to the third prince's office. King Wuyou also arranged for other people to go to various places in the city.
everywhere, causing trouble and scattering the troops in the city.
Gu Yuetian arrived outside the third prince's government office. He looked around carefully first, and then asked the craftsman to wait for him somewhere. Gu Yuetian lightly jumped up the high wall and carefully descended into the courtyard.
After a while, he captured a few soldiers and asked about the route to the dungeon and the residence of the third prince.
Gu Yuetian entered the third prince's room without much effort. He was still pretending to be a demon fox and gently brushed the third prince's face with the back of his fluffy hand. The third prince had been busy giving orders these days.
The army consolidated the city's defenses, and then captured those traitors he thought were disloyal to the King of Yue. Almost all the ministers who had some relationship with Prince Huo were captured by him. Then he tortured them to extract confessions, and then asked them to confess their accomplices. The ministers bit each other,
It made the prison full of trouble.
The third prince had just come up from the dungeon, and he tortured the captured prisoners again, so that his abnormal psychology was satisfied. When he was about to go to sleep, he suddenly felt a chill, and then he felt the fear on his face.
The feeling of being touched by furry hands already has a fear that is burned into my bones.
The third prince swallowed hard, sweating all over his body.
Gu Yuetian said in his weird voice: "How are you doing lately? I've been missing you for these days and have nothing to play with. What do you think I should do?"
The third prince's Adam's apple moved up and down several times with difficulty. He said solemnly: "Great Immortal, Great Immortal, please let me go!"
Gu Yuetian said: "I just want a toy, give it to me!"
The third prince listened and said yes repeatedly. He thought in his heart: As long as you don't arrest me and fly in the sky all day long, I will give you whatever you want. Even if I give you all the people in Fucheng, I will give it to you.
Gu Yuetian said: "My master misses her sister, so I want to take her back first."
After hearing this, the third prince was trembling a little better, and became even more violent, sweating even more. The rumor that he was willing to marry Li Long's fairy was just a legend, and it passed without any mention for so long. Who knew it was actually true?
Yes, Li Long is actually a fairy, and he actually asked the Fox Fairy to look for his sister. It seems that this fairy family knows everything. But Li Ling's situation at this time, if the Fox Fairy or Li Long sees it, it will only
He was afraid that he still couldn't spare himself. The third prince couldn't help but regret it, and secretly cursed himself for why he had to torture a person related to the Xian family.
Gu Yuetian could feel the changes in the third prince, so he slowly moved his hand down, placed it on his heart, and said, "Your heart is beating. It's been a long time since I've had the evil heart of a villain."
The third prince said in a trembling voice: "Xianjia, Great Immortal, please spare your life. I will ask someone to bring Li Xiangu's sister here. It's just that my subordinates are not sensible and may hurt Li Xiangu's sister. Please don't take your anger out on me, Immortal."
If you see me, you must spare me!"
Gu Yuetian chuckled arrogantly, and the sharp nails of his five fingers pierced the clothes and penetrated the third prince's chest. The third prince suddenly felt like five sharp knives were piercing him. He gasped for breath and begged for mercy in a trembling voice:
"Great Immortal, Great Immortal, don't eat me."
Gu Yuetian said: "Then why don't you send the person here quickly?"
