Liu Tie shook his head, "You can't say that. Since ancient times, there has been no reason for a prince to go to the battlefield."
"As ministers, we naturally have to serve the royal family. You, please don't mistake your identity."
After speaking, Liu Tie pointed forward, "Let's go to the front and have a look."
At this time in Qingniu County.
Wang Long ate and drank again, but this time he did not ask Zhu Jianyu to accompany him, but his deputy Wang Lei.
After a few glasses of wine, Wang Lei started chatting, "The general is here, do you think there is anything wrong in the past two days?"
Wang Long shook his head, "What's wrong with this? I don't think so."
Wang Lei waved his hand to signal the guards beside him to step back, then lowered his voice and moved forward.
"General, it is said that there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses from the north and east roads."
"Why do you think they don't go back and forth to our Qingniu County, and why they stay more than ten miles away?"
After hearing Wang Lei's question, Wang Long was also slightly startled.
"Yes, it's very close, and you know clearly that our reinforcements are coming, so why don't you lay siege to the city?"
Wang Lei chuckled and said, "It is said that they came over to surround him that day, captured Taoist priest Juejing, and forced Zhu Jianyu to surrender to the city. Then Zhu Jianyu wanted to abandon the city and go up the mountain, and then he sent us here."
After hearing what Wang Lei said, Wang Long nodded, "You're right, that's what happened."
"But why didn't he do it? You still didn't say anything."
Wang Lei pretended to be incomprehensible and said, "Fight the general, think about it, why don't you do it? It's not because of Zhu Jianyu."
"I heard that Zhu Jianyu said last time that he should consider whether to surrender, and the prince immediately withdrew his troops."
"What does this mean? It means that it is helping Zhu Jianyu win people over."
After hearing this, Wang Long frowned.
"What you say makes sense. Is this Zhu Jianyu having an affair with Xiao Jingyun?"
Wang Lei looked confident, "This is very possible, General, we have to guard against it."
Wang Long nodded, "Send someone to keep an eye on it and arrest them immediately if there is any abnormal movement."
It was just dark in the military camp, and Princess Zhaoning once again received a letter from her master, the Master of Lotus.
After reading the letter, Princess Zhaoning looked a little nervous.
Come to see your brother Xiao Jingyun again.
"Brother Imperial, my master has received another letter. Please read it."
Xiao Jingyun took it and glanced at the content of the letter. It was very simple. It said that Zhu Meng sent his troops to station Wang Long in Qingniu County. The leader of Lotus Flower planned to repeat his old trick, kill Wang Long and create chaos.
Jamel Xiao thought about this suggestion for a long time.
"Wang Lung is a fierce general, with strong martial arts skills, courage and strategy. It would be a pity to kill him."
The old Marquis Zhao next to him shook his head, "Your Highness, our Dacang Kingdom has no shortage of generals. If we keep Wang Long, he will definitely be our formidable enemy. We might as well go out early."
After hearing these words, Xiao Jingyun finally made up his mind, and he nodded slightly, "Old Aiqing is absolutely right, then go and reply to the Lotus Master and ask him to do something in Qingniu County. The more chaotic things will be, the better.
"
"By the way, don't move on Zhu Jianyu's side yet. This person is still worth fighting for."
It was getting dark, and Baihualou was silent.
Madam Guilan didn't dare to open the door now, so the girls inside just ate and slept.
Of course, Guilan was polite enough to the Lotus Master and served him delicious food and drinks every day.
On this day, wine and food were prepared again and delivered to the Lotus Master's room in person. "My hero, please eat slowly and call me if you need anything."
After Guilan finished speaking, she turned to leave, but the Lotus Leader stopped her, "I've been eating and drinking here, don't you want to ask me when I'm leaving?"
Madam Guilan was overjoyed in her heart, but she had to pretend to be frightened on the surface, "My hero, you can live wherever you like. You can leave whenever you want. If you don't leave, you can always stay here with me."
After hearing her words, the Lotus Master smiled slightly, reached out, took out a banknote, and slapped it on the table.
"This is two hundred taels of silver. When I finish eating this silver, I will leave at any time."
Guilan was overjoyed when she saw that he actually gave her money.
"My hero, you are out of sight like this. You are polite, you are polite." As he spoke, he reached out his hand and carefully took the bank note. Without even looking at it, he stuffed it into his sleeve and turned around to leave.
"I haven't finished speaking yet," the leader of Lotus Flower said. The Madam Guilan was so frightened that she stood on the spot, not daring to take even half a step forward. She turned back with a smile on her face, "My hero, you say it."
"I'm going out to kill someone tonight. If someone comes to search, you know what to say."
"I know, I know, I will tidy up your house later, and I will tell you that no one lives in your house."
The Lotus Leader nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.
As if the Madam Guilan had been granted amnesty, she hurriedly turned around and left.
Soon it was the second watch.
There was no sound outside except for the occasional tidy footsteps of patrolling soldiers.
The Lotus Master then packed his bags slowly, opened the window, quietly went up to his room and disappeared into the darkness.
At this time, Wang Lung was full of wine and food and was about to go to bed. Wang Lung was a gentleman. After drinking too much, he didn't go to any girl to sing or dance, and went back to his room to sleep peacefully.
A guard helped him make the bed and waited on him. After he lay down, he was about to turn around and go out when he heard a creak and the window opened.
But there was nothing outside the window. The guard came up to take a look, shook his head, and couldn't help but muttered.
"It's such a strong wind."
Before I finished speaking, I felt something flash before my eyes, and then I felt a chill on my neck.
He wanted to shout but couldn't. The next moment, a black shadow passed directly over his head and quietly floated into the room.
At this time, Zhu Meng had already closed his eyes. When he heard footsteps, he thought it was his bodyguard. He waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, please step back."
Before he finished speaking, his intuition suddenly told him that something was wrong, and he suddenly opened his eyes.
A ray of cold light was rushing toward him. Wang Long twisted his body subconsciously, and he avoided the vital point, but he was still stabbed on the shoulder.
Seeing that he missed a single hit, Master Lotus was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this kid was very good at martial arts.
But it was just a fleeting thought.
The leader of Lotus Flower quickly drew out his sword, and then struck again.
Wang Long curled up again and hid in the corner. The Lotus Master's move failed, and he raised his hand a little anxiously, and flew out with a handful of white smoke.
Poor Wang Lung just opened his mouth to shout that Bai Yan has arrived.
"Ah!" After taking a big mouthful, Wang Long's vision went dark and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The Lotus Leader pulled off the bed sheet, wrapped Wang Long directly, carried it on his body, and disappeared into the night.
It was getting dark the next day, and Zhu Jianyu was woken up again.
