"Little Prince, the spy has heard from the news that the imperial army has retreated and headed towards the ancient city of Tianyuan."
The news came into the little prince's ears, making the little prince's mouth smile.
His eyes slowly turned to Ji Menghe on the side: "It seems that things are moving step by step as expected."
"I just don't know what step the prince Xiao Tianao will do!"
Ji Menghe smiled sweetly, and in this smile, she was like a blooming lotus, holy and stunning.
The little prince kept laughing a few times: "Hahaha, the great cause of the royal family will eventually be successful. With Menghe helping me, I will shorten this time for at least a few years."
Ji Menghe said: "For the great cause of my father and brother, Menghe should give all of her own efforts!"
"According to the news, Luo Tianwei and the third prince are already on the way back to the imperial city, but they just don't know about Chu Ran..."
The little prince said, and was silent for a moment.
For some reason, every time he mentioned this name, he would feel an irrepressible anger.
This is an unfamiliar wolf!
If it weren't for this Chu Ran, their great cause of the Northern King's Mansion would have been accomplished!
At this time, he would sit on the throne of the emperor and look down on the world!
The little prince snorted angrily: "When I break the imperial army, I will be sentenced to death!"
"The brother's worries are not without reason. This Chu Ran is indeed an extremely difficult character!"
Ji Menghe took a deep breath, forced the figure of the young man in her mind, and said, "No matter when, I cannot underestimate this guy, I am afraid that this time, even Xiao Tianao will not be able to touch him!"
The little prince shook his head gently: "But no matter what, if the two fight, the one who will benefit from the Northern King's Mansion, right?"
"What my brother said is very true, but one thing we must pay attention to is to grasp the standard of war. Otherwise, if the prince Xiao Tianao feels too great a sense of crisis, he may be with Chu for the sake of the country.
However, if we work together to target us, it will be even more troublesome then."
"Show the enemy is weak, it's nothing more than this!"
The little prince smiled and nodded, then called the generals directly and issued a royal order: "Send the orders to withdraw from Hanshan City and enter the ancient road!"
...
"What? The Northern King's Mansion has withdrawn?"
Chu Ran led the army, and before he even arrived at the ancient city of Tianyuan, news came that the Northern Frontier Prince's Mansion had withdrawn.
This news made Chu Ran think about it, but he couldn't even figure out how the Northern King's Mansion suddenly withdrew his troops!
They retreated, and the Northern King’s Mansion also retreated!
What else will the other party make?
Two groups of scouts were sent to inquire about the news, and the result was that the Northern King's Mansion retreated!
Moreover, the entire army retreated without any guards left!
The scouts had even entered Hanshan City.
"No matter what the reason is, we will step in if they retreat!"
Goudan's words also made Chu Ran suddenly realize, yes, why do you want so much? As long as you don't hit the opponent's ambush, the enemy retreats and I will advance!
"The army turns around and enters Hanshan City!"
As Chu Ran gave the order, the army returned in a mighty direction.
Along the way, Chu Ran sent more than a dozen waves of scouts to investigate, but still found nothing.
The army also successfully entered Hanshan City.
What made Chu Ran feel extremely abnormal was that Hanshan City had almost no damage.
Both the city walls and the arrow tower are intact.
Logically speaking, even if you withdraw from the city, you will at least destroy these things. Otherwise, you will have to counterattack in the future, which will be a trouble for you.
But the Northern King's Mansion did nothing.
It's like there is no intention of going south anymore.
Could it be that the Northern Xinjiang Royal Palace gave up the idea of the royal palace’s hegemony?
No matter how you think about it, this is absolutely impossible!
"Boss, I want me to say, you are thinking too much, are you tired?"
Goudan in the main hall of the city lord's mansion pulled a chair and sat next to the Shuai's case. He ate the snacks on the Shuai's case, muttering while eating: "Maybe it's the little prince's son, the king of the Northern Xinjiang suddenly
It’s a big deal, the little prince is anxious to go back!"
"Damn!"
"Hahaha, you can think of it!"
When Mingyu and the others heard this, they couldn't help laughing and cursing: "You black dog, your mouth is really damaged. I doubt whether you grew up in the bamboo forest!"
Goudan was stunned: "What does it have to do with the bamboo forest?"
Luo An asked, "What's the most in the bamboo forest except bamboo!"
Goudan thought about it, but didn't understand it, "What?"
Jiu Mengzi said in a daze: "Bamboo!"
"Bamboo? Loss?"
Goudan seemed to understand something, and couldn't help but glar at the few people: "I think you are really hurt, puss!"
But the few people didn't notice that when they were laughing, Chu Ran, who was beside them, frowned very tightly, and his eyes were full of contemplation.
"What? Brother, don't you really think it's the King of Northern Xinjiang that is not the same, right?"
Goudan blinked at Chu Ran.
Chu Ran said in a deep voice: "It's not the King of Northern Frontier, it's probably another person!"
Goudan asked subconsciously: "Who is it?"
The others also looked at Chu Ran at this time, and no longer joked when they looked at Chu Ran's solemn expression.
Chu Ran only said two words: "Emperor!"
It was precisely because of Goudan's joke that he thought of this.
Ming Yuze shouted in surprise: "Isn't it normal for the emperor to die? After all, he has been seriously ill for a long time."
Tian Mo, who rarely spoke, nodded and said, "Yes, wasn't there an imperial order from yesterday that the emperor was seriously ill and was in danger!"
"I mean, is it possible that the emperor had already fallen before the emperor's order was released?"
Chu Ran said: "Or it may be that this emperor's order was not issued by the emperor at all!"
"This... won't be it? This is the emperor's order. Who dares to forge the emperor's order? This is a serious crime to kill the nine clans! Besides, the emperor's edict is completely true, and the dictator also came from the palace, so there is no fake at all.
!”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Luo An also walked up to him at this time and said in surprise: "Boss, are you talking about...the prince?!"
Luo An said: "No wonder, I always feel that yesterday's Emperor's Order was a bit abnormal. If this Emperor's Order was issued by the prince, it would make sense!"
Mingyu frowned and said, "If the emperor dies, it is a major event for the country. Could it be that the prince dares to secretly avoid the funeral?"
Luando: "It's very likely!"
Because the third prince knew very well that with his reputation, it was impossible to command any of Chu Ran, the third prince and the general.
Once a mourning occurs, he will ascend the throne to the emperor.
Jie Shi issued an imperial order to recall the three people. The three may not regret the imperial city's report at all, and it is likely that the three people would be hugged together and mobilized troops to force him to abdicate and let the third prince succeed to the throne.
If you don’t make a funeral secretly, you can issue an edict in the name of an emperor.
In this way, even if Chu Ran did not take the order back to the imperial city, the third prince and the general Tianwei would definitely return.
The third prince is a prince. If he learns that the emperor is seriously ill and does not return to the city, he will inevitably be called an unworthy name and will inevitably be despised by the people of the world.
As everyone knows, if the relationship between the General Tianwei and the emperor is not returned, the general Tianwei will also be questioned by the world for his unjust intentions.
Even Chu Ran is the same.
At that time, the prince could have taken action against Chu Ran on the grounds that Chu Ran did not respect the emperor's order and despised the imperial power!
It can be said that for the prince, keeping a secret funeral is definitely the best choice.
As he said that, Luo An looked directly at Chu Ran and said, "Boss, if this is true, then the third prince and the general may be in real danger!"
