After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

The blade of the sword was freezing under the sunlight, and with Xiao Jinzhi's fierce look on his face, it seemed that he would cut Huangfuling's neck without any hesitation in the next moment.

Li Zishan was frightened. Ling Qi tried hard to step forward, but was unable to do so.

Only Huangfuling, looking at the sword edge, was still thinking about what Xiao Jinzhi's back-up plan was.

"I withdraw my troops! I withdraw my troops!" Li Zishan was so nervous that he could no longer care. "Emperor Tianyi, I can withdraw my troops, but you must ensure the safety of His Highness!"

Xiao Jinzhi smiled slightly and withdrew some of his sword power, "Okay, after all... I don't want the regent to die either."

His purpose this time was always to stop the war and resolve the crisis in Beimo. If Huangfu Ling was really dead, Dan Yue would be in chaos, and the situation might become even more chaotic. That was not what he wanted to see.

"Before I withdraw my troops, I would like to hear from Your Highness..."

"General Li, I just said that I don't have the patience to bargain with you." Xiao Jinzhi interrupted Li Zishan.

Li Zishan gritted his teeth and said, "No, His Highness must speak. I must make sure that His Highness is safe and sound. Just seeing is not enough. I want to hear His Highness speak."

He didn't want anything to happen to His Highness, but he was also afraid that his actions would go against His Highness's wishes.

not to mention……

From the moment His Highness appeared on the city wall, he said nothing, what if it was a lie?

Seeing what Li Zishan was thinking, Xiao Jinzhi was silent for a moment, then took back his sword and glanced at Shen Chi who was standing aside.

The latter took a small porcelain bottle, put it to the tip of Huangfuling's nose, and asked him to smell it.

Soon, Huangfuling felt that the strong binding feeling in his throat disappeared, and he could speak, but his hands and feet were still weak.

"Your Highness..."

Li Ziran looked at Huangfuling nervously, but the latter's eyes stayed on Xiao Jinzhi's face.

"What else has Emperor Tianyi prepared?"

"Is this important?" Xiao Jinzhi asked with a smile, and then said again, "I feel that the regent is not someone who would risk his life for such a battle. No matter what my back-up plan is, at this moment , you hold it in my hand, if you want to continue to live, then let them withdraw their troops."

Huangfuling frowned, and there was a strong murderous intention in his eyes, but he knew very well that Xiao Jinzhi was right. The situation at the moment did not allow him to be impulsive, and he did not intend to really lose his life here.

Moving his gaze to the bottom of the city wall, Huangfuling looked at Li Zishan and said, "Withdraw the troops."

"Yes, I will obey your orders!" Li Zishan responded immediately.

Soon, the military order was issued, and the team led by Li Zishan gradually evacuated the city gate.

An hour later, Xiao Jinzhi ordered the soldiers in the city to leave the city from this gate.

Of course, they brought Huangfu Mausoleum with them.

The team left the city in a mighty manner and headed straight to another city gate according to Xiao Jinzhi's order.

Huangfuling's doubts were suddenly solved when he vaguely heard the sound of killing coming from the other side.

"Reinforcements?" Looking at Xiao Jinzhi, although he was surprised, at this moment, Huangfuling could not think of any other explanation besides this.

"Yes, reinforcements." Xiao Jinzhi raised the corners of her lips in a good mood, "My queen sent them. How do you think they are? Are you envious?"

Huangfuling stared at Xiao Jinzhi closely, trying to see traces of lying on his face, but unfortunately, there was no trace of lies or deception at all.

Xiao Jinzhi told the truth.

Many thoughts came to Huangfuling's mind, but in the end they all pointed to one point - perhaps, they had seen through their plan from the beginning.

This thought made Huangfuling's heart tremble, but how did they see through it?

"If you can't figure it out, the regent can ask me. After all, I have the time and mood to answer your questions." Xiao Jinzhi spoke and glanced at Qin Li.

The latter immediately understood and led his soldiers to speed up for reinforcements, while Xiao Jinzhi maintained the previous speed and continued marching.

"When did Emperor Tianyi discover that Taizhou City was a trap?" Huangfuling asked.

"Before entering Taizhou City, I received an urgent letter from Tianyi Imperial City."

"Didn't that letter tell you that the grain and grass should be sent to Beimo?"

Xiao Jinzhi chuckled, "It's true on the surface, but it's more than that."

The letter Yan Yan sent over clearly stated that Bei Mo was in a critical situation and that grain and grass were sent to Bei Mo first. However, there was a mark on the letter that he and Yan Yan had agreed in advance. Such a mark indicates that the letter is feared to be secretly viewed on the way, and the real content is written on the back of the letter paper in a special way.

The secret mark on this letter was not only an agreement between himself and Yan Yan, but also the letter sent from Bei Mo through Yunchen and the others. If it is important content, in order to identify authenticity, the mark shall prevail.

But Yan Yan said in the letter that the Bei Mo distress letter she received had no mark on it, so from that time on, Yan Yan suspected that these were all traps set up by Huangfu Mausoleum. As for the purpose, naturally it is to transfer food and grass.

"In the letter, Yan Yan said that she would deliberately feint and send the grain and grass to Northern Mexico on the surface, but in fact the grain and grass would arrive at the border on time. At the same time, let me be more careful. I suspect that your purpose is not Northern Mexico. , but me."

Xiao Jinzhi paused, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes, and then continued to speak.

"After receiving the letter, coupled with the evacuation of the Taizhou City garrison, and after some contact and thinking, it is not difficult to guess the purpose of the regent. Therefore, before entering Taizhou City, I sent trustworthy people and divided the troops. There are two routes, one is to receive and hide food and fodder, and the other is to dispatch reinforcements and wait for orders."

Today, in Huangfu Ling's view, was the day he surrendered, but in fact it was also the day he closed his net.

After hearing everything Xiao Jinzhi said, the look on Huangfuling's face finally cracked.

Looking at Xiao Jinzhi, he was speechless for a moment, or in other words, he didn't know what else he could say at this moment.

Chu Huanyan is cautious, smart and alert. Even though she is in the imperial city, she can cooperate with Xiao Jinzhi. And Xiao Jinzhi even used his own plan to set up a trap, making himself the turtle in the urn...

If just now on the city wall, Huangfuling still had the last glimmer of hope in his heart, then at this moment he completely understood that he had lost this round, and even lost himself as a prisoner.

With his Adam's apple rolling, Huangfuling restrained the surging emotions in his heart and asked in a deep voice.

"What is Emperor Tianyi going to do next? Use my life as a stepping stone to attack the city, or use it as a talisman to withdraw troops from Beimo?"

Even though it was really just to solve the crisis in Beimo at the beginning, but now his life is in Xiao Jinzhi's hands, is the other party really willing to just exchange for Danyue's withdrawal of troops?

After seeing through Huangfuling's thoughts, Xiao Jinzhi looked far away, and after a long time, he said quietly.

"Huangfuling, I am not you."
