The abandoned queen is reborn: she makes the prince cry and seizes the throne!

Until his death, the secret guard still held the jade pendant tightly in his hand. The fine mutton-fat jade was already stained with blood.

Do not look down.

King Li Nan closed his eyes heavily and said, "Deal with him quickly."

The sent guards came to report, "Your Majesty! The Regent's army has arrived outside Linan City!"

"They actually came out?" King Li Nan couldn't believe it. The dense forest was full of dangers. Even if they all died in it, no one would be suspicious. Now they actually came out... "The sky wants to kill me, wants to kill me, Li Nan!"

"Come here, organize the troops. We must not let the Regent's army enter Li Nan!"

outside the city.

Ning Rongzhang waited for a long time without any news, and his heart sank. "Linan City is so quiet, could something have happened?"

Li Huaize said calmly, "Li Nan has not been to Shangjing for so many years. If he really has second thoughts, the garrison of Li Nan is not strong enough to compete with the king's army. What do you think the king of Li Nan is thinking?"

As he was speaking, he suddenly felt a vibration under his feet. People who have been in the army for many years can naturally detect it keenly. Ji Yuan's eyes, which were slightly closed, suddenly opened, "It's the sound of horse hooves. There are quite a few of them, and they are rushing towards the city gate."

The secret guards who never returned, the continuous sound of horse hooves, or the treacherous King Li Nan.

"All troops, listen up and retreat to the outskirts of the dense forest!"

But in a moment, the city gate, which had been extremely quiet, suddenly became bright, and there were soldiers holding torches on it, as if looking around.

King Li Nan's carriage wobbled to the city gate, and he said in a deep voice, "Open the city gate."

The heavy gate creaked loudly. The gate was wide open, but Wang's army, who had retreated to the dense forest, did not dare to move easily.

If they were to lure the enemy into a trap with just one move, wouldn't the entire Wang army be wiped out?

"Your Majesty, the city gate is open."

Ning Rongzhang stood at the outskirts of the dense forest and saw that the entire city gate was lit up with bright torches. The reddish and hot flames were reflected on the cold arrows. He couldn't describe the feeling in his heart.

"It's an ambush."

The Xinrong people coveted the territory of the Dali Dynasty, but the prince guarding the border directed his spearhead at the royal army that came to support them.

Ning Rongzhang did not bring many royal troops from Shangjing, and the rest of the troops came from Western Xinjiang. "I'm afraid Li Nan has already surrendered."

Li Huaize's heart sank, and he said, "But in the document sent to the capital, Li Nan..."

"It's fake. I'm afraid that Li Nan couldn't withstand the attack of the Xinrong people and has surrendered. So the Xinrong took advantage of the situation and set up a trap for him." Ji Yuanzheng looked unprepared.

"How long will it take for Bian Xiaohan to arrive?" Ning Rongzhang asked in a deep voice. If they fought to the death with the southern army today, wouldn't it be a waste for the Xinrong people?

"It will take at least three to five days."

King Li Nan had not seen Wang Jun coming yet, so he pretended to say, "The city gate is open, please enter the city."

How can this be considered entering the city? It's simply like walking on the road to hell.

"King Linan, why don't you come over in person to meet the Regent?" Li Huaize shouted from a distance. It was obvious that both sides had seen through each other's thoughts.

The stalemate lasted for several hours. The Linan Army was afraid that Wang's army was still in the dense forest. If they rushed into the dense forest, they would probably kill one thousand enemies but lose eight hundred of their own.

With the dense forest as a barrier, the two sides were able to get along peacefully for a while, just waiting for Bian Xiaohan to bring reinforcements from Western Xinjiang.

Ning Rongzhang ordered his men to set up camp outside the dense forest and sent secret guards to contact Bian Xiaohan as soon as possible. If Wang's army could delay the Linan army here, Bian Xiaohan could directly lead the army to cut off Linan's connection with Xinrong and surround Linan City from behind.

With this in mind, the secret letter was sent out.

However, after a stalemate of more than a day, the Xinrong people became restless and sent people over to ask questions again and again.

"What? Your Highness doesn't want his own sons? Think about it, your two sons are still suffering in Xinrong." The man with a feminine face looked at King Li Nan and continued to provoke him fearlessly, "If King Li Nan continues to delay like this and wait for the reinforcements from the Regent of the Dali Dynasty to arrive, do you think the Regent will let you go?"

King Li Nan was trembling all over.

The feminine man continued, "If King Li Nan does not take any action, then... every day, I will cut off one of your precious son's arms, okay? Then I will slowly break his legs, and cut off the flesh piece by piece. Tsk tsk - King Li Nan, don't worry, your son will never die, he will just live a life worse than death."

King Li Nan closed his eyes with difficulty and said, "What exactly does your master want me to do?"

The feminine man chuckled twice and said, "The master means that the regent must be killed, one life in exchange for two lives!"

Unable to withstand the attacks of the Xinrong people, Li Nan was forced to surrender long ago. The vicious and cruel leader of Li Nan came personally and abducted his two sons in order to control King Li Nan.

His two sons are now suffering in Xinrong.

This war will start sooner or later. Several generals of the Li Nan Army came over and said, "Your Majesty! Please see me, Your Majesty!"

The old butler walked out. In just a few days, his hair had turned grayer and his waist more hunched. The generals were of different ages. The oldest one had gray hair on his temples.

"Your Majesty! Please see me, Your Majesty!"

Several generals knelt outside one after another, the door of the study was tightly closed, and King Li Nan hid himself in his shell, as if he already knew what the generals were going to say.

But it was his son who was abducted, not theirs, and no one could understand his pain of losing his son.

The old butler said in a deep voice, "Generals, please go back. The prince..."

"Your Highness! Do you really want to collude with the Xinrong people? Kill your own compatriots?" A young general roared.

They are generals, the strongest presence in the entire Linan City. If even this presence is easily breached, how can they talk about defending their country? ! If they collude with the Xinrong people, they will not rest in peace even if they die.

The door of the study was still closed, and there was no response. A few young and energetic generals suddenly stood up and were about to rush in.

The two guards and the old butler standing at the door of the study tried to persuade him, saying, "General, please calm down. The prince can do nothing about it!"

How could these three be a match for the young and energetic generals? Just as they were about to break through the door, the study door was suddenly opened. King Li Nan opened the door with a heavy face.

"Your Highness!" Several generals saluted and said, "Can Your Highness really bear to watch the people of Linan die under the swords of the Xinrong people?"
