After hearing what Magistrate Jiang said, everyone was speechless.
No one has ever considered such a consequence, but now that they think about it, everyone thinks it will definitely happen.
Zhu Xiangyu was the only one who robbed the people's things along the way. Now that the people dared to rob his things, could he spare them?
"What should I do? Is there any good way to solve it?" Emperor Qi Heng was also anxious. He looked at the ordinary people who were happily receiving food, but he didn't want to see their hopes dashed in the blink of an eye.
Shadow, Ah Qin and Jiang Yuyu also looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Emperor Qi Heng pondered for a while and said, "Now there is only one way, let Ah Xun raise his troops to attack Luozhou as soon as possible, so that Zhu Xiangyu will not have time to recover the lost grain.
"The master is right, this is the only way." Shadow nodded solemnly, but soon frowned, "It will take at least five or six days to travel from here to Tongzhou even if it is day and night. Is it still too late?
In the blizzard, even the carrier pigeons froze to death, so this was the only way to deliver the letter.
Emperor Qi Heng was speechless. It seemed that this method would not work.
"It's cold outside, let's go back to the inn first." Jiang Yuyu wrapped the cloak around Emperor Qi Heng's body and said.
"Okay, let's discuss it back to the inn." Emperor Qi Heng nodded. He was older after all, and his hands and feet were numb after standing in the ice and snow for a while.
The group of people returned to the inn, lit the extinguished charcoal fire, and discussed the solution while warming themselves.
The shadow looked at Emperor Qi Heng and said, "Your Majesty, my subordinates feel that they must go to Tongzhou to report to His Highness the Night King that Zhu Xiangyu's food and grass have been lost. This is the best time to defeat Zhu Xiangyu." They are worried that the Night King's food and grass are insufficient, which is also a waste of time.
I tried my best.
"Yes, it is true." Emperor Qi Heng nodded in agreement, thought for a moment and asked Shadow, "How many days will it take to clear the road blocked by heavy snow?
Shadow thought for a while and said, "Six or seven mountains are in a row, blocking the road for more than ten miles. Even if we work day and night, it will probably take six or seven days to clear it."
"That being the case, don't we have enough time to return to Tongzhou to report?" Jiang Yuyu answered.
Ah Qin said: "The main reason is that Zhu Xiangyu will definitely send someone to make a detour. In this case, it will only take two or three days."
Emperor Qi Heng was silent, looked at the shadow and asked, "Is it possible to use the method of blocking the road to block the other road for him?"
"I'm not familiar with the other road and I don't know the road conditions." Shadow said and stood up, "I'm going to check it out now and see if it's possible to cut off that road too.'
After saying this, Shadow quickly left the inn and rode out of the town.
After he left, Jiang Yue came up with another idea.
"If that road cannot be blocked, then we will divide our forces into three groups."
"Aqin, your disguise skills are superb, so you will be responsible for escorting the emperor to Tongzhou."
"And I will stay on the road to Yongshui Town. Whenever I see the soldiers sent by Zhu Xiangyu, I will kill them to delay Zhu Xiangyu from getting the news that the food and grass have been robbed."
"But Sister Jiang Yuyu, how dangerous would it be for you to do this?" A Qin looked at Jiang Yuyu with a worried look.
Jiang Yugu looked nonchalant and smiled relaxedly at Aqin.
"I can't beat you in poison, but you can't beat me in poison. I will develop a few packets of poison powder and sprinkle one on each, or a pair on them!"
"Okay." Ah Qin felt somewhat relieved, holding Jiang Yuyu's hand and warned, "Then if the troops really have to be divided into three groups, you must protect yourself, and I will also protect the emperor and keep him safe.
All sent to Tongzhou."
After hearing what these two girls said, Emperor Qi Heng felt guilty and sad.
He sighed softly and said, "I am really useless as an emperor. I can't even protect my own people. Now I still need two girls to protect me. Alas."
A Qin said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, you are a wise king. Your Highness the Night King often tells us about your great achievements. If you hadn't reduced taxes every year, how could the people of the Zhou Dynasty have enough food and clothing?"
Jiang Yuyu also stood up quickly, and while squeezing Emperor Qi Heng's shoulders, he said with a smile, "Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself. You are just too kind and trust the Crown Prince and Prime Minister Zhou too much, which is why you have caused the current chaotic situation in the court. This
Can't blame you."
Emperor Qi Heng could only sigh secretly in his heart, annoyed that he was too indecisive.
At that time, General Duan Ao strongly recommended the appointment of the eldest prince Wei Chenyi as the crown prince. He was also very tempted and had already mentioned it in the court. However, he became weak because of Prime Minister Zhou's opposition.
Later, the matter was settled.
Now it seems that if he had been tougher at that time and appointed the Night King who had the ability to govern the country as the crown prince, how could it have evolved into a situation where the palace was not the palace, the court was not the court, and the ghosts were in power?
"Prime Minister Zhou turned out to be a money wolf wearing a fake skin. Wei Xuanyuan's identity has not yet been clarified, and it is not known whether the new emperor sitting in the court is of royal blood.
He, the majestic king of a country, was even controlled by someone and almost lost his life.
If the Night King hadn't taken precautions and replaced all the Praetorian Guards with his own people, how could he have escaped?
After all, I was confused, trapped by the Great Zhou ancestral system, and made such a wrong decision.
"Alas!" Emperor Qi Heng sighed heavily, "Now the Great Zhou Kingdom can only rely on Ah Xun, he must win this battle!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured that His Highness the Night King will definitely win as the people support him." Jiang Yuyu was quite confident, "And there is also Princess Ye. With her help, His Highness the Night King will definitely win.'
As he was talking, the shadow came back.
"Your Majesty, that road extends in all directions and cannot be blocked, and that strategy will not work."
"Then use the second method." Jiang Yuyu said, "Your Majesty, let's get ready now, don't waste any more time."
"Okay." Emperor Qi Heng also stood up.
Seeing Yingying's puzzled face, Aqin told Yingying his plan to divide his troops into three groups.
Although Shadow was worried about the safety of Emperor Qi Heng and Jiang Yuyu, he had no other choice but to reluctantly agree.
After giving numerous instructions to A Qin and Jiang Yu, Shadow rode away first.
After that, Aqin also took Emperor Qi Heng to pretend to be father and daughter, and left Yongshui Town in a carriage for Tongzhou.
Jiang Yuyu, who was good at martial arts, put on white clothes and a white hat, and lurked outside the town waiting for the men sent by Zhu Xiangyu to inquire about the news.
Luozhou, Zhu Xiangyu's military camp.
Zhu Xiangyu sent people to clear the road while sending people to the rear to check the news of grain and grass. After making arrangements, he wrapped his cloak tightly and sat by the stove to warm himself.
"How many days have the soldiers sent to the rear been away? Why is there no news yet?" Zhu Xiangyu rubbed his hands and warmed himself over the fire and asked the commander in chief.
The commander-in-chief squinted his baggy eyes and said with a relaxed smile, "General, don't worry, news will come back soon. After all, there are no homing pigeons in Blizzard, so news is always slower."
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows on the bed and said, "General, why are you so anxious? Such a big woman is waiting for you to favor her. Let's have fun first."
"Okay, then you can go out." Zhu Xiangyu looked at the Erba girl whose hands and feet were tied up on the bed. He also had the same idea and walked towards the bed. (End of this chapter)
