"Let's go back to the camp first!" the other party reached out and gently stroked Yun Xueyao's back, comforted her for a moment, and then held her in the direction of the camp.
……
Inside the Wuling King's camp, the Wuling King's father and son were looking at the map in front of them and carefully discussing the next deployment. They saw that there was a bodyguard hurried in outside the door: "report to the king, just received the news that his Highness the prince has left Chengzhou."
The father and son looked up at the speech and looked in the direction of the attendants: "the crown prince is leaving Chengzhou at the moment. Can you find out why?"
"This hasn't been found out yet, but the spy guessed that the prince's highness left Chengzhou and seemed to come from the direction of going to Chongzhou."
"Chongzhou?! he also came here." Wuling King Wen Yan looked back at the map and frowned.
"Yes, father." Wuling Shizi nodded. "My son just got the news. Princess Ding'an of the cloud Kingdom seems to be working and fled to the direction of Chongzhou. If his son expected it well, his highness must have got the news and rushed to Chongzhou."
"Now we are about to mobilize our troops to attack the important state. At this time, the prince came here. What is the so-called thing? Is it to live with his uncle's help or to protect his confidant." although King Wuling has been in the border for a long time, he still pays attention to his nephew from time to time, so when he mentions Princess Ding'an, does he want to think of those rumors, It's impossible.
The prince waved to the spy and the spy retreated. The prince looked at his father sideways and said with a smile: "I heard that the princess Ding'an is gorgeous, not only the crown prince, but also the Royal Highness Xiang, who granted the country, has a special liking for her. I think she must have something special."
The Wuling king was very dissatisfied when he heard the speech and glanced at the aristocratic son next to him: "listen to what you mean, do you also know the princess?"
The other party shook his head when he heard the speech: "my father misunderstood. My son just felt that the princess Ding'an has a high prestige in the cloud country. Now the cloud state is under our control. Maybe the princess Ding'an came at the right time."
"What do you mean?" the king of Wuling looked at his son with some confusion.
"My father, my son means that my father is not going to write to the emperor to present these royal families of the cloud kingdom to the emperor, so as to save their lives in preparation for the complete conquest of the cloud kingdom. Now we have the princess Ding'an. If we can get the princess Ding'an, what's the use of other straw royal families!" Wuling's son smiled, He straightened up and explained to his father.
"What you said is also reasonable." the Wuling king thought of the royal families of the cloud kingdom he captured this time. If you take them back to Chengzhou all the way. It's still unknown what happened on the road. If something goes wrong, it's nothing. Now it's easier for Princess Ding'an to come to the door and take her down than to take care of others. Thinking about this, he said, "it's just that Princess Ding'an, since she's powerful, how can we succeed!"
When the other party heard the speech, he smiled and said, "has the father forgotten again? Now his Highness the prince is also rushing to Chongzhou. In that case, we will wait for him a few days here. When his Highness the prince arrives, it's not too late to make a decision."
"Well, in that case, if the order goes on, the royal family of the cloud country will not stay, and then come to Chongzhou quickly."
"Yes!"
……
"What are you talking about? My uncle has already written to bring all the royal families of Yun national road back to Chengzhou? Now, how can they be killed on the ground?" Cheng Yuan was surprised to almost fall off his horse when he heard the spy's return.
The spy also shook his head: "the reason is unknown to his subordinates. However, after the Wuling King arrived in Chongzhou, he suddenly changed his mind and ordered to kill the royal family of the cloud state on the ground. Others have returned to the fief for standby."
In today's situation, the state of cloud has been defeated. I got the news the day before yesterday that the man of the state of cloud has been imprisoned and captured by his uncle. I also learned that he wrote to the emperor and was escorting the prisoners to Chengzhou. I thought it was all right, but unexpectedly, all of them were suddenly killed at this time.
"Now Princess Ding'an seems to have gone to Chongzhou. At this time, my uncle suddenly ordered Ge to kill the royal family of cloud country. My uncle must have known the whereabouts of Princess Ding'an's assassin like the back of his hand." Shangguan Xiao thought and reminded me.
"Therefore, my uncle thought that instead of returning to Chengzhou with some royal families from the cloud country all the way, it would be better to kill these useless royal families and take Princess Ding'an alone to frighten all the people in the cloud country." Cheng Yuan was distressed when he said this.
Xiao, the senior official on one side, bit his teeth and nodded with his eyes closed: "yes, Princess Ding'an has a high reputation in the cloud country. Taking her alone is indeed the best way. It's easy for the king of Wuling!"
Cheng Yuan raised his eyes and looked at the mountains not far away. For a moment, he was in a dilemma.
Xiao, the senior official, guessed his thoughts and ordered the bodyguard nearby to have a rest on the spot.
Standing on the hillside, Cheng Yuansi thought about the state of Heyun. Their hearts were like half the rainy sky in front of them. After a long time, they said to the next Shangguan:
"Ah Xiao, you said that my uncle had been emperor for many years. Is it his father's intention or his own mind to come to the cloud country this time?"
"It seems that the Wuling king is mostly for his highness." senior officer Xiao thought for a long time before he spoke cautiously.
"For the sake of the palace?" Cheng Yuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. This time, the king of Jiangling first attacked the army of the state of cloud. When the army of the state of cloud had little combat power, his uncle, who had always been far away from the government, jumped out at this time and made a profit. It was unexpected, "You're right. My uncle is really for the sake of the palace. Even if the king of Jiangling and the imperial concubine don't agree on the surface, they will eventually be a family. How can my uncle be willing to be behind others at this time?"
"The king of Wuling is also well intentioned. After all, it has always been his Majesty's wish to capture the cloud state. If the credit is occupied by the king of Jiangling this time, how can we have a foothold in the East Palace in the dynasty hall." Shangguan Xiao thought and said, "the king of Wuling has already reached Chongzhou, but he just encircles but does not attack. Your highness still doesn't understand his intention."
"Uncle, I'm afraid I've already known that I'm going to Chongzhou." Cheng Yuan's face was slightly cold.
Shangguan Xiao nodded: "therefore, the king of Wuling is waiting for his highness to discuss major issues together."
"Uncle, if you really have good intentions, it's hard for the palace to say." Cheng Yuan tightened his eyebrows.
"Your Highness, the king of Wuling is coming!" Shangguan Xiao Gang wanted to speak, and behind him came the voice of bodyguard Chang Huan.
"Uncle? His news is really good and smart." as soon as Chang Huan's voice fell, Cheng Yuan's mouth turned slightly.
"Well... Does your highness mean to see or not?" Chang Huan looked carefully at the look on Cheng Yuan's face. For a moment, he didn't hear the emotion in the master's words. He quietly raised his eyes and looked at the next Shangguan Xiao, then hesitated.
"Uncle, no matter how selfish he is, he finally cares about me. Naturally, he wants to see me. Changhuan, lead the way."
"Yes..."
Not far away in the shade of a tree, the king of Wuling and his son stood side by side in silence. Although they looked calm on this face, after all, the East Palace attendant had left for a long time, but the prince had not responded for a long time, so they were inevitably uneasy.
Although the prince has always been alert, he must have known the purpose of his visit. Although the prince is indeed related to Wuling palace, after all, Wuling palace has been far away from the imperial court since the death of Wuling princess, and has never had contact with the prince. At this moment, suddenly, the Prince's mind, what is his attitude towards himself and who is now People are a little uncertain.
"Father, this... Is your Highness the prince really ungrateful." for a long time, Wuling Shizi said a little dejected.
"That's not necessarily true. The more this time, the more we should calm down." the king of Wuling must calm down at the moment.
"Yes." Wuling Shizi nodded.
When they were restless, there was a sound of footsteps in their ears.
The father and son were surprised and turned around quickly. What came into sight was a beautiful young man in black armor. His eyebrows were seven or eight points similar to that of the Wuling princess. The Wuling king felt very hot.
After looking at each other, the king of Wuling just returned to his mind. He quickly lowered his eyes, lifted his robe and solemnly saluted Cheng Yuan: "Minister Wu Tu took a circle around Wucheng to meet his Highness the prince. The prince is a thousand years old."
"This is not a palace. Uncle doesn't need to do this big gift. Please get up quickly!" Cheng Yuan also looked up and down at the two people who bow to the ground in front of him. These two people are his blood relatives who have been reunited for a long time, but at the moment, he may have more chips than family affection in front of them.
For a long time, Cheng Yuancai finally raised his hand and motioned them to get up.
After they thanked each other politely, they got up from the ground.
"My uncle and my cousin were so strong against the army of the cloud country along the way. It was really hard. However, Cheng Yuan heard that his uncle and cousin had already arrived in Chongzhou, but why did he stay here and surround but not attack?"
