In the camp in Jiangbei, under Wang's earnest persuasion, Song Weizhao's heart began to waver. After thinking it over for many days, he decided to submit to Daning.

He didn't want Guiyun to be in trouble anymore and wanted to help her to repay her kindness to him and the Song family.

When Nalan Yiqing and his generals learned about this, they all came forward to persuade him.

"Your Majesty, Lu Linchu has long hated you to the core. If you submit to him, how could he tolerate you?"

Nalan Yiqing said: "I know your majesty's concerns, but I have decided to change my past and strictly discipline my soldiers. From now on, I will treat the people of the Central Plains well and win the hearts of the people for your majesty."

Song Weizhao glared at her sinisterly, silently threw a few memorials in front of her, and said with a sullen smile: "Princess, you are still as sincere to me as always. Do you really think I am a three-year-old child? So easy to fool?"

Nalan Yiqing picked up the memorial on the ground and read it quietly. Song Weizhao explained it to her one by one: "You did not consult me ​​and slaughtered the entire family of King Dongyi and King Jiurong without authorization."

"Five days ago, you secretly killed the envoys I sent to appease Chen Lin on their way to Jinyang. Is this what you call repentance?"

"These days, the government has been reporting to us one after another about the crimes of General Alkh. There have been many incidents of burning, killing, looting, and slaughtering villages. Are these the soldiers you have trained? The people you have won over for me?"

"Nalan Yiqing, how can I trust you again?"

After saying this, he walked out of the palace angrily.

Watching the tall figure disappear from sight, Nalan Yiqing glared at the generals in the hall and asked sternly, "Who is still violating military orders and going against His Majesty's will?"

It was true that she ordered the secret massacre of the families of King Dongyi and King Jiurong, but that was a necessary strategy to prevent someone from establishing their own kingdom with the royal children. As for the rest, she knew nothing about it.

She scanned all the generals with a fierce look, and seeing that no one admitted it, she immediately drew her sword and put it on her neck, saying with great disappointment: "You are so hypocritical, which really disappoints me. Today, I will die and apologize to His Majesty on your behalf."

"Princess."

All the generals knelt on the ground in fear.

The leader, Suobatu, immediately admitted, "Princess, it was I who sent people to kill the envoys to Jinyang without authorization. I deserve to die."

After saying this, he drew his sword without hesitation and was about to commit suicide.

The other generals hurriedly tried to stop him, saying indignantly, "Princess, Suobatu had no selfish motives in killing the envoys. Your Majesty relied on us, the Alkh people, to raise an army and return to Yundu. Now he is destroying the bridge after crossing it, and he wants to betray your sincerity. What kind of person is the eldest daughter of the Fu family? How can she be worthy of your Majesty's concern? We don't want to see your Majesty out of the princess's control."

Looking at a group of iron-blooded men crying together, Nalan Yiqing's heart was moved and he closed his eyes reluctantly.

She also knew that the soldiers were thinking about her, but since she regarded Song Weizhao as their king and became his wife, she should always be on his side.

Slowly putting down the sword in her hand, she closed her eyes and asked again: "Whose subordinates are still burning, killing, looting, and slaughtering the people of the Central Plains?"

Everyone was silent for a long time, and finally someone stood up and answered guiltily: "Princess, I just feel that the soldiers are working hard, and I want them to relax a little."

Hearing this familiar voice, Nalan Yiqing opened his eyes and found that it was Buduo, his childhood playmate and confidant.

"Asshole."

She shouted angrily: "Drag him out and chop him up."

This time no one dared to plead for mercy, and they watched as Butu was dragged out and beheaded.

"Suobatu, you have defied the emperor's authority. You may be exempt from the death penalty, but you cannot escape the punishment of life. Take him away and give him fifty military sticks."

After ordering the soldiers to drag the man away for punishment, she began to speak solemnly: "From today on, if anyone dares to disobey your majesty's order again, this will be their fate."

The generals were worried that the princess would harm her own body again, so they had to respond obediently.

Seeing that the princess was determined to rectify military discipline, the soldier hurriedly asked, "Princess, do you want to persuade His Majesty to stop negotiating peace?"

Nalan Yiqing shook his head: "He no longer trusts me, so let him be."

The lieutenant general nodded in thought, and then said, "Princess, do you still remember that when the entire Fu family was imprisoned in the Jiangbei camp, the Lu family sent people to rescue them?"

Nalan Yiqing responded lightly, frowned and said, "What's so strange about this?"

"There is something fishy indeed."

The lieutenant general said, "I captured a man alive that day and interrogated him for many days. I finally found out that this group of people were not here to rescue the Fu family, but were sent by the Crown Prince of Daning to kill them. Moreover, they also killed the Lu family's envoys who were delivering the imperial seal across the river."

"So, the imperial seal is still in the hands of Crown Prince Daning?"

Nalan Yiqing laughed when he heard this: "Lu Linchu is really a complete hypocrite. He killed his brothers and sisters, and was also so cruel to the one he loved. He is no less cruel than Fu Yuanshu."

Song Weizhao already felt guilty and grateful to the bitch from the Fu family. After learning about these things, she felt even more uneasy. She solemnly warned, "Don't tell His Majesty about these two things."

The generals responded one after another.

Nalan Yiqing's determination to get rid of Fu Guiyun intensified at this time, and he hurriedly asked: "How many spies have been sent to Jiangzuo?"

"We have learned from the last lesson. Almost all the spies selected by the generals during this period have been carefully selected. They are not only agile but also extremely intelligent. If they blend in with the refugees, no one will notice."

The lieutenant general estimated: "There are about 2,000 people who have entered the city and are scattered all over Jiangzuo. I have also found an insider who will help us accomplish our mission."

"very good."

Nalan Yiqing laughed sinisterly: "Since His Majesty is determined to negotiate peace, then we will completely stop his thoughts. I will make sure that bitch from the Fu family dies without a burial place."

"Princess don't worry."

The lieutenant general smiled and said, "Right now, the Daning army is short of food and grass, so the Fu family member will definitely return to Liyang. I have learned that the Daning Crown Princess is about to leave, and the Daning Crown Prince and Prince Zhong are competing for military merits, so they have no time to care about the Crown Princess' return. We will set up an ambush on the way, and with the help of the insiders and the outsiders, we will surely be able to kill the entire Fu family."

......

Fu Guiyun felt at ease knowing that Lu Linzhi stayed at the front line to fight the enemy. She was worried about Liyang City, and the front line was in urgent need of food and grass. The night Lu Linzhi urged her to return to Beijing, she ordered people to pack their luggage.

Fu Ping also asked his clansmen to prepare to go to Liyang.

But just the day before departure, news suddenly came from Jiangbei that Song Weizhao and Nalan Yiqing wanted to negotiate peace with Daning.

This was undoubtedly the most exciting thing for Lu Linchu.

Without even having time to say goodbye to Fu Guiyun, he prepared to organize his troops and set off.

He had just walked out of the mansion happily when he saw Lu Linzhi coming towards him.

"What is the purpose of Lao Si's visit?"

Worried that he would steal the credit from him, Lu Linchu asked cautiously.

Seeing that he was in a hurry, Lu Linzhi guessed that he was ready to set off immediately and wanted to go and negotiate peace with Song Weizhao.

After respectfully bowing to him, Lu Linzhi began to advise: "Recently, there are many more refugees crossing south than before. Many suspicious people have appeared on the way to Liyang. Song Weizhao suddenly proposed peace talks at this time. I am afraid he has ulterior motives. I came here to persuade the crown prince to postpone the peace talks."
