Hong Yuetian couldn't believe what Xiao Ting said. Xiao Xiang couldn't be brave enough to kill brother Wang openly. It's not a question of whether she will inherit the throne or not. It's a rebellion.
Seeing that Hong Yuetian frowned and didn't speak, Xiao Ting was anxious. His usual calm strength had already disappeared without a trace. He shouted, "Uncle Hong, you can't die. Think of a way quickly!"
Hong Yuetian pondered for a moment and shouted, "come!"
With his voice, a bodyguard came in from the outside, stepped in to salute and said, "what's your order?"
"You immediately sent someone to send a message to the twelve princes, saying that the five princesses openly murdered the great prince. Please come to our princes to discuss business."
"Yes!" The bodyguard answered with an arched hand, then turned and walked away quickly.
Seeing that the bodyguard was ordered to leave, Xiao TingChang hissed. He said gnashing his teeth: "Uncle Hong, after you wait for the 13th route princes to be strong and United, I'll see what ability Xiao Xiang has. This time, I'm going to ruin her reputation and death!"
Hong Yuetian is not as optimistic as he is. Xiao Xiang has the support of senior generals such as Zhang situ, Yang Zhao, LV you and bu Ying. Near the capital, there are as many as six legions directly belonging to these generals. Even if all the troops of the 13th route princes are added together, it is not easy to win them. However, at present, Xiao Xiang has a great advantage. Xiao Xiang conspired against brother Wang, This is a treacherous act. Our side at least has the upper hand morally. Even if Xiao Xiang can control Zhaoyang and the imperial court, it will be difficult to last for a long time. Our side can use the troops of the whole country to fight against it.
"What's the hurry, young master?" he asked
Xiao Ting blinked and said carelessly, "I managed to escape. There's nothing left to take care of him. I think he's still in the city!"
Hong Yuetian stamped his feet again and again. Many of the princes of the 13th route supported Xiao Yuan. Now Xiao Ting ran out and threw Xiao Yuan into the city. I'm afraid that his side may not be able to unite the princes of the 13th route so easily.
But now, it is impossible to save Xiao Yuan again, and it is useless to blame Xiao ting. Hong Yuetian smiled bitterly and said, "although the eldest childe is resting in the camp, I think Xiao Xiang will not be brave enough to raise troops to attack our Hong family army!"
Xiao TingChang breathed a sigh of relief and arched his hand and said, "my nephew depends on Uncle Hong!"
"Oh, you're welcome, childe!" Hong Yuetian hurriedly returned to give a gift.
Hong Yuetian thought that with the eldest childe and his prestige, he could summon all the other twelve princes, at least half of them, but the result was completely beyond his expectation.
The soldiers who sent messages to the princes returned one after another. The news they brought back was the same. All the princes decided to go to the Hong family army station for discussion. In addition, people also brought back a more terrible news. The first, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, tenth and twelfth nine regiments of the central army are marching towards the Hong family army station. Now, The fastest first regiment stopped less than three miles away from the Hongjia army station and set up an offensive posture.
Hearing the return from the soldiers, Xiao ting and Hong Yuetian were dumbfounded. Stunned for a long time, Hong Yue came back to his senses and shouted, "are the fifth, seventh and eighth Corps all under the command of Ren Fang? Is it... Does re-election Fang also take refuge in Xiao Xiang?"
Xiao Ting suddenly realized it and exclaimed. "I know. No wonder Xiao Xiang dared to attack me. It was her who kidnapped Ren Fang's family! She must have threatened Ren Fang with her family and coerced Ren Fang to work for her. What a mean and vicious woman!"
"Eldest childe..." a soldier who reported the news swallowed his saliva and showed an appearance of wanting to talk and stopping. Hong Yue shouted angrily, "don't hesitate again. Speak quickly!"
"Yes... Yes! Ren... General Ren's family has been found. Yes... It was found in the palace. The person who kidnapped general Ren's family turned out to be Jin Liren..."
Hearing this, Xiao Ting's eyes stared like a copper bell. He grabbed the collar of the soldier's clothes and shouted, "say it again?"
"Yes... It's the family member of general Ren kidnapped by Jin Liren. Jin Liren has now committed suicide, and before he committed suicide, he has admitted that he did it under the order of... Eldest childe..." he didn't go on, because Xiao Ting's handsome face has become more ferocious than a fierce ghost, and the five officials are twisted into a group.
"Fart, fart!" Xiao Ting suddenly roared and pushed the soldier away. The latter didn't stand up enough and sat down on the ground. Before he could stand up, Xiao Ting rushed up like crazy and kicked. While kicking, he shouted wildly: "when did you ask Jin Liren to kidnap Ren Fang's family? He's spitting blood! It's spitting blood!"
The soldier was kicked by Xiao ting and rolled around with his head in his arms. He screamed, "please spare your life, young master. This is not what the villain said. It's all said outside. Please spare your life, young master..."
"That's what they say?" Xiao Ting stopped fiercely, and then seemed to be trampled on his tail. With a strange cry, he pulled out his sword and roared, "I want your life first!" While talking, he raised his sword and split it.
Hong Yuetian stepped forward and stopped him. He said in a hurry, "please calm down, young master. Let him finish talking first!"
"Uncle Hong... I... I never asked Jin Liren to kidnap Ren Fang's family members..."
"I know, I know. Please calm down first, childe!" Hong Yuetian exhorted the angry Xiao Ting while turning back to the soldiers who fell to the ground with blood all over his face and shouted, "what's going on? Tell Ben Hou quickly!"
The soldier got up from the ground tremblingly, knelt in front of Hong Yuetian, and recounted the rumors he had heard in detail. Finally, He stammered: "all the princes have thought that the eldest childe was the family member of general Ren who was kidnapped. Now the matter has been revealed. The eldest childe is... It's a flight for fear of crime, so... No one dares to come... Dare to help our army. All the princes say that if... If you stand on the side of the eldest childe, it's like... Rebellion!"
Buzz! Hong Yuetian's head buzzed, his eyes blackened, his body shook involuntarily, and he nearly fainted on the spot.
Xiao Ting's face turned pale in an instant. The long sword in his hand fell to the ground. Then he rushed to Hong Yuetian and held his arm tightly, "Uncle Hong, i... I've never asked anyone to kidnap Ren Fang's family. This... This is a trick. It must be a trick set by her Xiao Xiang. Uncle Hong, you have to help me this time. You have to help me anyway. If you don't even help me, then... I won't be saved, and no one can help me!"
At this time, Xiao Ting was in a trance, incoherent, and his face was frighteningly white. Bean sized beads of sweat continued to drip down his forehead and cheeks.
Hong Yuetian looked at Xiao ting and didn't know what to say.
Xiao Ting is not a fool. On the contrary, he is smarter than most people in the world. He has to have a city government. He will never do such a stupid thing as selling Jin Liren to kidnap Ren Fang's family and hide the hostages in the palace. How is this possible?
Hong Yuetian comforted: "don't panic, eldest childe. As long as there is Ben Hou, no one can get the eldest childe!"
As soon as his voice fell, another soldier hurried in and reported: "report! Report to the general, the fifth Princess led nine legions to gather around our army. Now the fifth princess has come to our barracks and wants to see the general!"
When Xiao Ting heard the speech, his body trembled. He grabbed Hong Yuetian tighter and said in a trembling voice, "Uncle Hong..."
Hong Yuetian pondered for a moment and said, "it's good to meet Xiao Xiang. I want to see what she wants. Eldest childe, just wait in the camp!"
"No, uncle Hong, i... I'll go with you!"
"This..." Hong Yuetian thought for a moment, nodded and said, "well, just after seeing Xiao Xiang, the eldest childe must not be impatient. Please comfort him with good words, even if it's a temporary weakness. Let's get through the current crisis first!"
"I understand, I understand!" Xiao Ting took a deep breath to calm himself down and calm down as much as possible.
Xiao ting and Hong Yuetian walked out of the Hong family army camp with thousands of personal guards. Outside the camp, he raised his eyes and looked at the opposite side. He saw the banners waving in front, soldiers and armor like a forest, neatly lined up in a square array, and the dark side spread boundlessly.
What a big formation! Xiao ting and Hong Yuetian both frowned.
A mile away from the hongjiajun camp, there is also a troop of nearly 10000 people, all cavalry. The Knights above and the horses below are all dressed in armor made of refined steel. This is the most brave steel cavalry in Sichuan cavalry.
Steel cavalry is neither light cavalry nor heavy cavalry. It is between the two. It has the characteristics of fast speed, fierce attack and strong defense. It is a sharp weapon to break through the enemy's front. However, the armor of steel cavalry is difficult to build. The number of steel cavalry in Sichuan army is not large, and most of them are arranged in the first to Fifth Corps of Sichuan central army.
In front of the steel Armored Cavalry queue, there was a magnificent carriage. The carriage was tall and spacious, pulled by eight horses. That was Xiao Xiang's ride.
Xiao ting and Hong Yuetian looked at each other. The latter nodded slightly. The former understood. They walked side by side and went straight to Xiao Xiang's carriage.
When the distance between the two sides was less than 30 steps, Xiao ting and Hong Yuetian stopped their horses and looked up at the opposite side. Who or Xiao Xiang was sitting in the carriage? At the left and right of the carriage, there are Zhang situ, Ren Fang, bu Ying and other senior generals of Ganchuan country.
Although Xiao Ting is a childe, he hasn't been on a real battlefield in his life. Compared with him, Hong Yuetian beside him is much calmer. Hong Yuetian, who has fought all his life, has seen too much about this formation.
Hung Yue's face was calm, and he rushed to the arch of the Xiang Xiang in the carriage opposite him. He laughed first, and then asked, "Princess Royal has come to Hong Jiajun's residence so many people. I wonder what your princess is doing."
