King Ankang looked at Chen Mian's face and said, "You also met King Nanhuai just now!"
Chen Mian said nothing.
King Ankang said: "It's not that I'm not good to King Nanhuai, it's really...our Xiao family army has been the backing of King Nanhuai in Kyoto these years. Whatever he wants to do, we will give him the greatest support."
.
He is the only remaining son of General Xiao, that is, the son of all our officers and soldiers in the Xiao family, and we all wish him well."
King Ankang said a few words and the expressions of several soldiers calmed down.
King Ankang sighed.
"But now he...has taken the wrong path, and we cannot just watch him collude with the enemy!
Dayan State now has strong troops and horses. It will be easier for him to succeed and seize the throne by relying on Dayan State. But what happens next? Will Dayan State help him for no reason?
The queen of the Yan Kingdom was a general. She was best at conquering the north and south to expand the territory. She was also good at scheming and profiting from people's hearts. Cooperating with such a person is no different from seeking the skin of a tiger!
Now, he even acquiesces to Ning Guogong to sell the grain of the dynasty to the Great Yan State. Once the Great Yan State has enough food and grass, what will be the next step? That is to fight! "
Chen Mian and others looked at each other.
King Ankang sighed, "He is dissatisfied with me today because I said something about him. If you have a chance to talk to him, please give me some advice. We are all people who have worked with General Xiao. We cannot let General Xiao live in heaven."
It’s uncomfortable.
Why do we go through life and death?
No matter why, future generations must not have a traitor who surrenders to the enemy and treasons the country."
In a few words, he erased everything Xiao Yu had done and labeled Xiao Yu as colluding with foreign enemies.
For the officers and men of the army, no matter who you are or what you have done, as long as you collude with foreign enemies and commit treason, that is what the officers and men of the army hate the most.
Chen Mian sneered in his heart at King Ankang's good tactics, with a sad sigh on his face, "Your Majesty, please advise King Nanhuai, I'm afraid we won't have a chance to contact King Nanhuai, it all depends on His Majesty's advice.
The eldest lady and the second lady..."
King Ankang patted Chen Mian on the shoulder, "Don't I really feel sorry for my own daughter? Okay, I have my own arrangements. Just tell those two boys and let them prepare for the marriage!"
"Yes!" Chen Mian accepted the order, "Then..."
King Ankang interrupted him, "The fourth prince must not ascend the throne, and the King of Nanhuai must not conclude this grain business with the Yan Kingdom. The wine business is understandable, and it can promote trade between the two countries, which is a good thing, but food is not good. This is
I will take care of the foundation of the country.
These days, you are optimistic about the army. I am afraid that if I persuade you too hard, the King of Nanhuai will be unhappy and take action against our army, which will really cause a disaster!"
After sending Chen Mian and others away, King Ankang hurried to the government office of Qibei Prefecture, his father-in-law's house.
...
"What's going on? You've all seen it. What I said is exactly the same as what I said!" After coming out of Prince Ankang's Mansion, Chen Mian lowered his voice and said to the people around him.
Before coming, he said that King Ankang had second thoughts about King Nanhuai.
These were all the old men who followed Xiao Jiyuan. At first, they didn't believe Chen Mian's words. After all, Xiao Jiyuan was very kind to Liu Quanfu when he was still alive.
"He is no longer the same person who lived with us through life and death. Now that he is a prince and rich, how can he give up his rights to the King of Nanhuai?
There is one more thing I must tell you now.
Our General Xiao is still alive."
The other four people looked at him dumbfounded, "Really?"
"What's fake about this? What are you trying to do to deceive you?" Chen Mian glanced around and lowered his voice, "The person who came to Qibei to fight a few days ago was General Xiao who disguised himself as a personal attendant of the King of Nanhuai.
Yes, but King Ankang discovered it, and he poisoned it several times."
The other four people looked horrified, then angry.
One of them said: "Can we go see the general?"
The other three said: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient to go now. If it's convenient for the general, he will definitely come to us. Let's wait."
"But... I really miss General!" the man said.
Chen Mian glanced at him.
"Let me tell you, it is also the general's wish to arrange a meeting tonight. The general also wants to meet you to discuss future actions!"
The excited eyes of the four people were shining with hot light, and they tried their best to suppress the excitement on their faces.
The fact that the general is still alive is heartening enough!
Now we are about to see it!
"The location is on the third floor of Yuhua Inn. We will gather at 1:11 in the evening. Now we can all do our own thing."
After Chen Mian finished speaking, several people dispersed and left.
Chen Mian looked at the backs of the four of them, paused for a moment while twirling his fingers, and then turned around to go to the busy city.
I walked around the street and finally entered a teahouse.
Pingan was sitting in a private room in the teahouse. As soon as Chen Mian came in, Pingan stood up to greet him.
Chen Mian said: "The news has been released, but...will there really be traitors?"
Chen Mian felt uncomfortable.
Before he went to Prince Ankang's Mansion today, he received news from Ping An, saying that the reason why Xiao Jiyuan's identity was discovered by Prince Ankang and was almost killed in Qibei last time was because he met his old subordinates.
Just these four people today.
But it is not certain who recognized him and leaked his traces.
Now Xiao Jiyuan and Xiao Yu urgently need to contact the old Xiao Jiajun in the Qibei Army, and the traitors must be eliminated immediately, so Chen Mian took the risk of being discovered by King Ankang and acted like this.
It was just an unexpected encounter with two young ladies from Prince Ankang's palace.
Before, they really thought that the two young ladies were living quite well.
See you today...
Chen Mian frowned, "Where are the two ladies..."
Ping An smiled and said: "The prince has made arrangements. Brother Chen, don't worry. There will be no problem. It's the marriage of the two young ladies. Are the two soldiers in the army reliable?"
Chen Mian nodded, "Reliable, I brought them up with my hand. He is a nice person and his appearance is not bad. I have fallen in love with the two young ladies before. They proposed to marry each other twice, but they were rejected by the prince, but they have not given up yet.
Been waiting."
Ping An said: "Okay, let them prepare for the marriage. It should be done sooner rather than later. It will only take three to five days."
Chen Mian felt relieved and said, "I saw the princess being carried away by the prince today. Are you okay? The general is also fine, right?"
Mentioning Xiao Jiyuan, Chen Mian's voice trembled a little.
He used to be Xiao Jiyuan's internal affairs soldier, and his feelings were different from others.
"It's all good. Brother Chen, take care of yourself. What happens tonight depends entirely on Brother Chen. We will send people secretly to protect you, and you have to react smartly!"
