Chapter 154

The Wuling king and his son couldn't help looking at each other when they heard the speech. The Wuling King smiled cautiously and opened his mouth: "tell your Highness the prince that the old minister dare not deceive. We and his son did arrive here three days ago and have been waiting here for a few days."

Speaking of this, the other party paused slightly, carefully observed Cheng Yuan's face for a moment, and then said with a smile, "however, the old minister learned that his Highness the prince came to Chongzhou, so he hoped to discuss this matter with his Highness the prince."

"Your Highness." seeing Cheng Yuan's gentle face, the king of Wuling was calm and calm. Then he said in awe, "the old minister dared to ask the prince. I don't know why his highness is here."

"Since my uncle is waiting for me here, do you really know nothing about my trip?" Cheng Yuan slowly restrained his smile and said.

The other party took a deep look at him and nodded: "I dare not deceive the prince. I did send someone to find out the purpose of the prince's visit, but the matter is very important. I have to be careful and ask the prince to forgive me."

Cheng Yuan didn't speak when he heard the speech.

The king of Wuling paused, took a deep breath, looked into the depths of the distance, and then said: "King Xin was punished by his majesty. Although his highness is now the crown prince and seems to have strong saints, the struggle in the Imperial Palace has always been bloody and careless. In the past, your mother's concubine was in a high position. Our Wuling palace was at the height of the sun that day, and we couldn't save your mother's concubine Zhou Quan. Your highness should not take it lightly."

The sincerity of these words is that Cheng Yuan understands each other's selfish intention in this trip, but Cheng Yuan still cannot help but be moved by the mention of his mother's concubine who has died for many years.

"Therefore, as long as we have Wuling palace one day, we will never allow the same day to happen again." when he said this, the muscles on Wuling King's face trembled slightly.

"So, my uncle's trip is to take the credit for the capture of the important state on my head?" Cheng Yuan took his words and said the truth.

Seeing Cheng Yuan's understanding, the other party nodded with satisfaction: "Your Highness, although our Wuling palace has been far away from the imperial court since your mother's death, although the old minister is far away from the fief, the old minister will never stand idly by."

I have never doubted my uncle's loyalty, even if the other party is more unwilling to the decline of Wuling people.

However, such a strong attack on a heavy state will inevitably lead to a river of blood. On the day of breaking the city, I'm afraid it is doomed to be abandoned with the times. This is not what I want to see. Not to mention, Princess Ding'an is still in the city.

Seeing that Cheng Yuan didn't change much and didn't speak, the prince of Wuling was uneasy. He couldn't understand the prince's mind. In his mind, he was thinking about how to move the master. Cheng Yuan's voice sounded in his ear.

"Cheng Yuan was very moved by what his uncle said, but his uncle took great care of Cheng Yuan and thought it was clear. Although Cheng Yuan came here with selfishness, he didn't want to burn Chongzhou into scorched earth, which was also Cheng Yuan's wish."

Seeing the other party's Secret deeds to him, the Wuling King's father and son suddenly felt refreshed: "Your Highness, don't worry, we surround Chongzhou without attacking. First, we understand that your highness doesn't like killing, and second, because we take into account that Princess Ding'an is still in the city."

Cheng Yuan's heart jumped when he mentioned Princess Ding'an. He just learned that Princess Ding'an may have gone to Chongzhou. At the moment, his uncle mentioned that he was already in the city: "how can my uncle determine that Princess Ding'an is in the city?"

"It's true that our spies found the trace of Princess Ding'an in the moat outside the city the day before yesterday. Our army arrived a step late, and her accompanying guards worked hard to protect her. The princess was able to enter the city by boat. Otherwise, the princess Ding'an at the moment is already in my camp." the king of Wuling said this with regret.

Cheng Yuan felt complicated when he heard the speech.

Although in private, Cheng Yuan hoped that Princess Ding'an would escape from her uncle's sphere of influence as far as possible, Yu Gong also hoped to end everything in front of him as soon as possible. The war scenes in Chongzhou a few days ago seemed to be fresh in my mind, but now the war began again.

"Your Highness, now the general situation of the cloud country is gone, and Chongzhou and Jinling can have a few days of peace." seeing that the Lord has been silent for a long time, Xiao, an upper official who hasn't spoken for a long time, finally wrung his eyebrows and solemnly said, "in this case, why give the merit of Chongzhou to others. The opportunity is fleeting. I hope the prince will make a decision early."

As the crown prince of Chengguo, Chengyuan would have made great contributions if he had won the Chongzhou city at the moment. Moreover, all the foreshadowing made by King Xin can be shared with him at the moment. However, as long as he thinks of Yun Xueyao, he will certainly regard himself as an enemy.

Cheng Yuan's heart is unbearable.

Suddenly, a burst of artillery sounded from nowhere, and everyone was startled.

"What's the matter? Where's the spy?" the king of Wuling first responded. He pulled out his long sword to guard Cheng Yuan, and shouted at the spy.

Immediately someone flashed out from the shadow: "Lord, it's the army of the feudal state. It's attacking with artillery."

"When did the Imperial Army arrive, why didn't it report in advance." the king of Wuling was furious when he heard the speech.

"The Lord is bad. Our food and grass are on fire." a spy hurried to report.

"What, when will it happen, who is it? He is also the person who granted the state." Wuling Shizi was shocked.

"I don't know. My subordinates didn't see clearly." the spy was submissive.

"We have surrounded all around us. Can't the people of this country grow wings..." the king of Wuling was a little angry.

Cheng Yuan thought carefully in his mind, and heard Chang Huan on one side say, "Your Highness, these four sides are indeed surrounded, but it may not be impossible for a team of people to come up from the cliff over there."

They were surprised and looked at it along Changhuan's finger. They suddenly felt creepy. The night was like paint. The people who sealed the country even climbed up from the bottomless cliff through the night. Is it really not fatal.

"What are you doing? Don't hurry to find out." the king of Wuling was so angry that they hurried over there.

Next to the cliff, a group of dark figures were unloading the rope around their waist. Suddenly, they looked at each other and dispersed silently.

At the moment, people are busy fetching water to fight the fire in the Wuling camp. It is a mess. The raging fire lights up half the sky. The king of Wuling has never encountered such a plot. At the moment, food and grass have been burned before attacking the city.

Cheng Yuan, who had been watching coldly, looked at the mess in front of him. He was thinking quickly in his mind. Suddenly, he was frightened and hurried to the direction of the Wuling king.

……

"Princess, general, something big has happened outside." Yun Xueyao and Yun Ling are in the camp. Looking at the map in front of them and discussing the strategy of deploying troops, they see spies running in from outside.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" they were surprised and asked.

The other party nodded: "just now I saw the camp of Wuling army from the wall. It seems that there is a fire."

"It's on fire, it's really on fire." Yun Xueyao said excitedly when she heard the speech.

"Yes." the other party nodded.

"OK." Yunling stood up. "King Xiang is really good. He really has a way to set fire to the grain and grass of the army. Come on, gather people and horses immediately and rush out. This time, the general will take advantage of the fire."

"Yes."

The gate, which had not been opened for several days, was opened with a sound of "Zhi Ya". Yun Ling and Yun Xueyao almost poured out with the people and rushed directly towards each other's camp.

In front of us, half the sky was red by the burning fire, and smoke was lingering around. There was a mess on the ground, and the flying flames were crackling.

Seeing the fiery red in front of him, Yunling seemed to have a bad breath in his heart, and felt a lot of relief: "well burned, well burned." while riding his horse, he rushed to the other side of the camp first.

The night was hazy and she couldn't see the situation clearly. When Yun Xueyao saw that Yun Ling rushed out, she ordered people to follow up and was vigilant around in case someone attacked the army.
