I'm not a scumbag

Wang Cong disappeared, taking the little princess with him.

Ling Tingyu's rarely expressive face showed anger.

Ling Fantian woke up and saw this.

"Sister Royal..."

They didn't know how to express comfort. Facing their half-sister, both of them felt very complicated.

It's not that they are afraid that the little princess will seize the throne, it's just that her biological father makes the two of them really unhappy, together with their new-born sister who they haven't met yet.

If Wang Cong was captured, the two of them still wanted to raise their sister, but with such an unknown factor left outside, Ling Tingyu rubbed the corners of her eyes, showing a little tiredness.

Zuo Xiaoyi did not confront the two of them head-on. As early as when Ling Tingyu appeared to clean up the court, he evaded his edge and evacuated automatically.

He was just one step away, really just that one step away.

But for some reason, Deng Zhuang betrayed him again in the end. Otherwise, the Yan Kingdom would have been captured by him long ago.

"hateful!"

Zuo Xiaoyi's failure has been extremely rare for so many years. Even when he was trying to seize the throne from Chu State, it was all smooth sailing.

The first time he failed, he still assassinated his good brother, the famous Dandy of Chu State. Unexpectedly, the guy's skill in pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger was hidden from the world.

The second time is now. Ling Tingyu, that hateful woman, should not have agreed to Dengzhuang's young men in the first place.

Forget it, it's useless to say too much now, the next two moves are crucial.

It's a pity that his brother is too vulnerable to fight with Ling Tingyu, so he can only rush back to Chu State to help his brother.

Yanguo's side was suppressed on the surface, but Qin Zuo didn't care much about how they fought inside.

As long as everything is fine, Your Majesty the Queen.

On his side, the battle is almost over.

The existence of the Queen Mother of Chu greatly restricted Zuo Xiaoxiong's combat power.

The Lin family is indeed an old family. After so many years of operation, the impact on Zuo Xiaoxiong in the court is still quite big.

But these are far from enough.

Zhong Qingmei led the Qinglong Army and the forward army with overwhelming force, successfully breached the city gate and forced the imperial army into the inner city, unable to fight.

After entering the imperial city, Zhong Qingmei ordered not to harass ordinary people, and captured various government offices and high-ranking officials' residences. Due to the presence of the Queen Mother of Chu and Qin Zuo, the people voluntarily donated food.

Although supplies are cut off from the rear, there are many granaries in the imperial city, so there is really no need to worry about food for a while.

On the other hand, the imperial army that was repulsed in the inner city was suffering a lot every day.

Zuo Xiaoxiong called on all ministers to donate food, but the response was mediocre.

Honest officials really can't donate too much, and corrupt officials really don't dare to donate too much, and in the end nothing gets done.

Some bolder people proposed to open the city gate to welcome the Queen Mother of Chu into the city.

Naturally, his head was chopped off by the furious regent Zuo Xiaoxiong.

This move made the originally hesitant people turn to the Lin family, or in other words, to Qin Zuo.

Seeing that the inner city gate was about to be breached, Zuo Xiaoxiong was restless and paced back and forth.

Looking at the ministers who were hunching their necks like quails and not daring to speak, Zuo Xiaoxiong cursed them all.

"Trash, you're all fucking trash, what's the use of you? Now the rebels are coming to the door, they're all retreating without a fight!"

It would be great if Ah Yi was here.

Sighing heavily, the useless Zuo Xiaoxiong missed his brother extremely.

"Why should the regent be angry? The young king has a plan. I wonder if my brother is willing to hear it?"

A familiar voice came from the silent hall.

Zuo Xiaoxiong suddenly raised his head and saw a handsome young man followed by a middle-aged man dressed as an eunuch.

The young man looked very tired, but Zuo Xiaoxiong was overjoyed.

"Ayi!"

No, isn't Ayi in Yanguo?

How would it appear here?

Just in time! With Ah Yi here, that dude can no longer be so arrogant!

The middle-aged man took a half step back and tried to minimize his presence.

The ministers all whispered and discussed the sudden appearance of the prince. No one paid attention to the middle-aged man, but more to the plan mentioned by the young man.

Zuo Xiaoyi smiled brightly, and regardless of the surrounding environment, he went up and gave his brother a big bear hug.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ayi, you came just in time! That plan you mentioned..."

The moment Zuo Xiaoxiong saw him, he calmed down. Ever since he was a child, his younger brother has been smarter than him. Now he has this honor thanks to his good brother.

Zuo Xiaoyi looked around and whispered, "You and I, brothers, just need to know."

If the internal thief is not eliminated, no matter how good the strategy is, the opportunity will be lost.

Although Zuo Xiaoxiong had no ambition, he understood this truth, nodded, and announced his resignation.

The representative of the Lin family was a little reluctant, but he couldn't be the one to stand out, let alone give him a handle. He could only find a way to spread the news of Zuo Xiaoyi's return to the country.

After everyone dispersed, the two brothers exchanged pleasantries before revealing their plan.

"Ayi, is this true?!"

Zuo Xiaoxiong was overjoyed.

Of course he knew that the women's army outside the door came from the Yan Kingdom. If it was true as Zuo Xiaoyi said, then the damn old woman and the dandy would no longer be able to rely on each other!

Zuo Xiaoyi frowned, thinking about Zhong Qingmei in his heart.

When I first cooperated with her, I knew this person's ambitions. They were wary of each other, so they didn't deepen their cooperation. Naturally, their understanding was not deep enough.

He also couldn't figure out Zhong Qingmei's style of doing things.

At the beginning, he tried to recall Zhong Qingmei with the help of Deng Zhuang. After the attempt failed, he concluded two points.

This woman either has great intentions or is extremely loyal.

But judging from previous cooperation, there must be more of the former.

But why would she help that dude? !

This was something he had not thought through and could not guess.

But no matter which one it is, no matter how dissatisfied you are in your heart, you have to disguise it on your face.

I felt a little uneasy for no reason, but at this point, there was no other way.

It was because he underestimated Ling Tingyu too much, otherwise he would not have put himself and his brother in such a predicament.

However, Zuo Xiaoyi didn't know that this was not the first time Zhong Qingmei had resisted the decree, otherwise she would have canceled this opportunity and made other plans, but everything was already destined.

Wang Cong silently looked at the two people discussing in front of him, but his thoughts were not at all there.

He had endured to please for so many years, and thought he would be as firm as before.

But after carrying his daughter on the road for so many days, the wrinkled baby had invisibly occupied a place in his heart, making him more concerned.

But Zuo Xiaoyi's plan focused on his daughter, which made him extremely confused.

"Raja, raja?"

It took two calls to wake up the distracted Wang Cong.

Only then did Zuo Xiaoxiong officially take a look at the eunuch.

That straight glance made Wang Cong very uncomfortable, but he couldn't speak out.

"King Yi, is this really so?"

After a while, Wang Cong finally spoke.

Zuo Xiaoyi was unhappy, but he didn't show it on the surface. He just comforted him and ensured the safety of his daughter.

After thinking again and again, Wang Cong could only nod slowly.

So what if he doesn't agree, this is Chu State, and everything is decided by the two men in front of him.

But why does my heart hurt? It's more serious than the Queen's death.

I can’t figure it out, I can’t figure it out.

......

After getting the news, Qin Zuo immediately shared it with Zhong Qingmei.

Zhong Qingmei frowned. She had dealt with Zuo Xiaoyi and knew that this man had many thoughts and was ruthless.

But the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string. If it is delayed any longer, it will be extremely detrimental to one's own side.

"When the soldiers come, they will block the water and use the soil to cover it up. He has his Zhang Liang plan, and I have my ladder to cross the wall."

After some discussion, the three decided to carry out the night attack according to the original plan.

After fighting for so many days, Zhong Qingmei felt distressed and secretly decided that this inner city must be destroyed no matter what!

Her reputation as the commander-in-chief of the Azure Dragon Army will be known to the world!

The moon had just risen above the willow trees. Zuo Xiaoyi refused the banquet given by his brother to celebrate his return and came to the city gate in person. Looking at the dark area not far away, he could not help but feel a little impetuous in his heart.

in such a hurry?

If it were normal times, he would definitely want to delay, but now, he can't bear the interests of Yan Kingdom, so naturally he wants to stabilize the rear first and then go to Yan Kingdom to grab the cake.

"Array, meet the enemy!"

The pampered imperial troops were very tired. The continuous fighting these days had made them miserable.

This is the first battle without reinforcements. The battle for the prince's inheritance is not over yet, and their good days are far away.

"Report! A large number of enemy troops appeared at the east gate and suffered heavy losses. Please support."

Zuo Xiaoyi was so angry that he ordered Wang Cong to be brought here.

After a while, Wang Cong was carried over while he was sleeping, with a baby in his arms.

Zuo Xiaoyi sneered and said, "The next step depends on the prince."

Then he turned and left.

Zhong Qingmei, who was marching with the large team, looked at the torches' advance, her lips slightly raised, and she was in a good mood, but she was still wary of Zuo Xiaoyi's faint moves.

But I heard someone shouting from the other side, "The Princess of the Yan Kingdom is here, the Yan Kingdom soldiers will retreat quickly!"

The officers and soldiers of the Qinglong Army paused and looked at the thin figure on the wall.

A middle-aged man held a baby in his arms.

Zhong Qingmei took a closer look and her pupils shrank suddenly.

With her excellent eyesight, she could naturally see the man's face. He was clearly the prince she admired!
