Now that the fight was temporarily out of the question, Ye Fuxun thought about it and decided not to go back just like that. He had to at least wait for the opportunity so that Bai Yitong could never stand up again before going back with supreme glory.
During this period, it can be said that a lot of things happened in the Southern Kingdom.
Most of the troops were dispersed in various places and finally gathered at the border. This was a good plan by King Nan to catch him off guard, but he never dreamed that when his troops gathered at the border, Murong Che's men
Thirty thousand soldiers quietly surrounded the royal city.
One night, a turtle was caught in a urn.
The former prince Ning Lang, who had disappeared for many years, appeared in this world. He was assisted by the descendants of the Murong family, and in front of him was the general Yan Qiuke who was invincible in the battlefield and protected the country.
People from the southern country might doubt Ning Lang's identity, but the moment they saw Yan Qiuke, they no longer had any doubts.
Ning Lang and Murong Che led their troops into the royal city to attack the Southern King. The wasteland was filled with unruly ministers and traitors, and now they were trying to bring order out of the chaos.
King Nan had already lost the support of the people. When the soldiers guarding the royal city saw Yan Qiuke, they put down their weapons and defected to Ning Lang's side. The situation was almost one-sided.
The soldiers who originally guarded the imperial city were not so vulnerable simply because they had been there before.
King Nan was drinking and having fun with his recently favored concubine in the palace. The soldiers accompanying him suddenly came to report that General Han Dongliu had died suddenly.
"What!?"
King Nan was shocked.
The reason why King Nan was able to suppress Yan Qiuke without any scruples was because of General Han Dongliu.
This Han Dongliu was a general after Yan Qiuke. He was tall and strong, and his ability to lead troops in battle was not bad. However, he was fierce and fierce and had a lot of grudges.
But he was loyal to King Nan.
King Nan promoted him to the commander of the soldiers because he thought he could sit back and relax. Now Han Dongliu died so suddenly. Before he was even ready, news came that the royal city was surrounded by rebels.
General Han, whom he relied on, is dead, and now the soldiers have lost their leader and are nothing but scattered sand.
The rest of the soldiers have already been hidden by him in various places and should be far away at the border at this time.
As a result, almost half of the entire Southern King City collapsed.
King Nan's face was full of disbelief.
"Haven't the rebels not yet entered the city? How did the general die?"
Han Dongliu is the commander. In such a large imperial city, the safest person besides him, the King of the South, is Han Dongliu. How could he die?
King Nan couldn't figure it out.
His eyes widened, and he almost lifted up the soldier who came to report the news.
The soldier was so frightened that he shrank and said, "General, General, he has been assassinated."
King Nan never expected...
He could hardly lift it up in one breath, and shouted loudly: "Where is the assassin! Didn't he catch it?"
At the same time, what filled my heart was inexplicable panic.
What kind of existence can kill Han Dongliu silently?
The soldier shrunk more and more, and the words in his mouth were not clear. He only stammered: "Assassin, the assassin did not leave any trace. He only found out that General Han was poisoned and died. Yes, some people said,
Poison."
King Nan's eyes were almost cannibalistic.
When the poison was mentioned, King Nan was suddenly stunned.
He let go of Xiao Bing, only to feel the world spin for a while, and fell down on the seat, his face turned gray.
How could it be Gu poison? Wasn't the Gu clan wiped out long ago? Could it be that person? Is he still alive?
How come the Murong family and the former prince, who should have been dead long ago, are still alive? That old man Yan Qiuke is really untrustworthy. He should have killed them all back then, so why did he leave hidden dangers now?
King Nan was filled with despair. At this moment, he could not see any hope of victory.
The beloved concubine on the side was already kneeling with a pale complexion. Seeing that King Nan had not spoken for a long time, she secretly raised her head. Relying on King Tian Nan's love for her, she became a lot more courageous.
"Isn't His Highness the Crown Prince engaged to a young lady from the Gongsun family? Maybe you can ask Miss Gongsun for help?"
Hearing this, King Nan sat up suddenly.
Yes, now, in addition to the rebels and royal family, Nanwang Chengzhong also has people from the Gongsun family stationed here!
Yes, if the eldest lady of the Gongsun family comes forward, no matter who it is, they have to show some respect.
King Nan composed his mind, helped his beloved concubine to sit up, and waved his hand: "Here comes Prince Xuan."
After a while, King Nan stood up again.
"No, I will go myself!"
Zhuo Lang now recovered Ning Lang's name. Although he never knew why it was called Ning Lang, since Murong Che had already told him, he naturally had no problem.
He didn't understand why, regarding Murong Che, he was willing to trust this person.
What's more, Ye Fuxun also told him before to listen to Murong Che.
Ever since Murong Che taught him how to speak and behave, Ning Lang followed his words to rule the so-called former dynasty's subordinates.
Ning Lang had outstanding martial arts skills, and under Murong Che's careful guidance, he already had the demeanor of a high-ranking aristocrat. He was born with a noble demeanor, so he easily subdued all the officials and regarded Ning Lang as a wise king.
Now that the power of the Southern King is gone, it is inevitable to regain the old mountains and rivers. Ninglang and his party are surrounding the royal city, not in a hurry, just waiting for the royal city to run out of ammunition and food. The Southern King will definitely lose his footing before they do.
As for the soldiers of the Southern Kingdom lying across the border, Murong Che had already started to ask Yan Qiuke to stay here, and went to take back the troops himself. With Yan Qiuke's prestige, it was not difficult to do this.
Because Ning Lang's memory has not yet been restored, the people around him respect him but are not familiar with him, and there are definitely many tricks on him, but Murong Che blocked them all without leaving a trace.
Although Ning Lang did not understand the ways of the world, he maintained an extremely keen sense of malice and kindness, which made him even more attached to Murong Che.
Murong Che was naturally very pleased with this. The two of them went in and out together every day. Although some rumors inevitably spread, neither of them cared about it.
That day, while the two of them were having a meal, an urgent report came from the soldiers outside: "His Royal Highness, Lord Murong, and the eldest lady of the Gongsun family are here."
Ning Lang glanced at Murong Che with questioning eyes.
He remembered that the Gongsun family seemed to have a good background and had a close relationship with the prince in Nanwang City. It was not difficult to guess the purpose of the Gongsun family's eldest daughter coming here.
However, no matter how big the Gongsun family is, they are also businessmen, and the family does not have a foothold here. Miss Gongsun may not be able to be touched by others due to her status, but it is undoubtedly a foolish dream to think of organizing this civil strife just because she is the eldest daughter.
They are having a meal now. It would be disrespectful to leave people aside, but why should they be brought in so that Miss Gongsun can watch them have a meal? Besides, Ning Lang is the former crown prince and the future king of the Southern Kingdom. How can he go out to greet them so easily?
