Fu Chou put on a sinister smile behind his mask.
Suddenly, someone in the city ran up to the tall building and said, "Your Majesty, this is bad. For some reason, the defenders in the city suddenly started fighting!"
The garrison in the city is the garrison that has always been stationed in Linan City, and should be under the command of King Linan.
King Li Nan was horrified and asked, "What did you say?!" Now that the Xinrong troops were at the gate of the city, they in Li Nan had started an internal conflict.
"Suppress!" He almost gritted his teeth to say these two words. Ji Yuanzheng first led a group of Regent Army to investigate the situation in the city. At this critical juncture, if the Linan Army was restless, it would inevitably affect the war ahead.
Inside the city.
The troops were in an uproar. When Ji Yuan was riding his horse towards them, he saw only a group of hooligans who looked like soldiers wearing half armor and had loose morale. How could they have any sense of crisis of the city being destroyed and their families being ruined?
"What are you doing?!" His sword-like eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot, and his starry eyes looked at that place with a chilling feeling of oppression.
"It's General Ji, General Ji is here!" Someone from the Li Nan Army knew Ji Yuanzheng and hurried forward to report, repeating the whole story.
It turned out that some people in the Li Nan Army thought that the Regent was just using the Li Nan Army as bait to lure the Xinrong people and make the Li Nan Army a sacrifice.
The Li Nan Army was divided into two generals, the left and the right. Now the two sides were arguing with each other. Ji Yuan was frowning and said, "Since the right general felt that the regent wanted the Li Nan Army to fight a bloody battle, why did the right general still have the leisure to argue with him when the Xinrong troops were at the gates of the city?"
The right general stiffened his neck and said, "You Shangjing people are very cunning. I won't waste my words on you. Since the Regent wants to fight, then let's fight. Anyway, don't even think about asking us to send troops from Linan!"
The left general was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He pointed at the right general's neck and cursed, "The regent came to help us Linan, but now the Linan army is hiding in hiding. What do you think is going on?!"
"Assistance?" The right general snorted coldly, pointing at the palace where the white banner was still hanging, and said, "The Crown Prince's body is still warm, and you have seen such scenes before! The Crown Prince was tortured beyond recognition, and there was not even a piece of good meat on his body. If the Regent King's army really came here to provide assistance, how could they watch the Crown Prince die at the hands of Xin Rong?!"
These words left General Zuo speechless. He could only shake his hands helplessly and sigh.
Ji Yuanzheng had been listening to their quarrel for a while, and now he understood that the Right General was blaming the Regent for not rescuing the Crown Prince, and instead exposed the fact that King Linan and the Regent were on the same boat, which led to the Xinrong people starting a killing spree.
"Although the prince is dead, the second young master is still alive." Ji Yuanzheng waved his hand slightly, and two guards behind him came over, one on the left and one on the right, carrying people. The second young master escaped death, and his legs and feet were still weak.
"Uncle Qi! Wuuwu..." The second young master threw himself into the arms of the right general, crying and sobbing, "I almost thought I would never come back... Fortunately, General Li saved me!"
"My brother was also killed by them!"
The left and right generals' noses were sore, and they put their hands on his shoulders and patted him, "My dear nephew, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Uncle Qi will kill them for you! Those Xinrong barbarians should have died long ago to pay for the lives of the prince!"
The right general stood up, and the soldiers who didn't want to go to the battlefield also stood up. Some took swords and some put on armor.
He looked like he was determined to attack Xinrong's lair, so how could he be so reluctant just now?
On the city wall ahead.
The narrow sleeves of his robe rustled in the wind. Ning Rongzhang said indifferently, "Ji Xiuwen, why don't you let me guess how you came to Xinrong after Prince Wu died..." He said it nonchalantly, as if he was not on the battlefield with the sound of drums, but in a teahouse, chatting with old friends when they met again.
"When Prince Wu entered the capital, you took the opportunity to befriend him and became his adviser. Unfortunately, you didn't know my plan at that time. Instead, you were bent on revenge for Prince Wu... Later, I was rehabilitated and entered the palace. You knew your fate and fled during the chaos. You didn't show up until Ning Huaixuan proclaimed himself emperor again. At this time, the military department was in turmoil. If I'm not mistaken, you came to the military department at this time, right?"
Fu Chou gritted his teeth, his mask was covered with ferocious vertical lines, just like his heart at the moment. After taking a deep breath, Fu Chou raised his sword and said, "Regent, you just need to know that you and I are sworn enemies!"
“Heh…” Ning Rongzhang leaned forward slightly towards the wind and said, “I’m a defeated general. Even if there are a few more rounds, I’m still a defeated general.”
He tried his best to irritate Ji Xiuwen, picking on his sore spot and saying, "You are the third son of the Ji family. Your father is not a high-ranking official, and your mother is determined to climb up the social ladder. Your whole family lives under the halo of the eldest wife. Dafang is full of talented people. Ji Kang is the prime minister, and your family has also risen to prominence. Ji Yuanzheng is a general, and even Ji Mengshu has been engaged to the emperor since she was a child... Living under such an halo, how can you not be jealous?"
Fu Chou's teeth were clacking and his eyes were red. He looked up at Ning Rongzhang on the tower and sneered before admitting, "Ning Rongzhang, you are right. I have lived under the halo of their eldest house since I was a child. Everyone only sees Ji Yuanzheng and Ji Mengshu, the brother and sister! No one can see me! I have studied hard for so many years, and the teachers in the academy praised me for my sharp mind and that I could become a prime minister in the future... Why?! Is it just because my status is not as noble as theirs? I just don't accept it."
"So when Prince Wu entered the capital, the Ji family was suppressed, and even Ji Kang was worried all day long. I knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity... But if it weren't for you, I would have become a prime minister in the troubled times!"
Fu Chou's eyes were bloodshot, and he almost cursed as he expressed all the resentment he had felt over the years. How could he not hate him?
"It's not because of me, nor is it because of others, Ji Xiuwen. It's you who have evil intentions. It's you who don't know how to distinguish a wise king." Ning Rongzhang responded indifferently, as if he regarded all his business plans over the years as a waste of time.
Fu Chou chuckled, and his laughter became more and more arrogant. "Is that so? Since the Regent thinks that I am on a road of no return, why don't we see who will win?! Kill him! Whoever gets Ning Rongzhang's head will be promoted to a higher position and rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold!"
There were waves of horse hooves sounds and a sudden uproar of noise. Almost at the same time, people and horses suddenly fell to the ground below the city gate, and screams and the smell of blood mixed together.
A trap had already been set outside the city gate.
