"Nianhua, Jicheng has four city gates, one in the east, one in the east, one in the north, and one in the south. There are more than 3 rebels, and they are divided into four nests outside the city, but they are not watertight." Chen Zheng took out a simple map and spread it out on the On the ground, preach to Nianhua by the light of fire.

Nianhua looked hard at the abstract lines drawn on the yellowed skin of some unknown animal, only to feel dizzy.He can't even understand those well-made modern maps, let alone such ancient things.

"Okay, there are 3 of them, and I have only one person. It doesn't matter where you go." Nianhua said, "Just wait for my good news."

Chen Zheng shook his head helplessly, and continued: "There is a big river flowing in the southwest corner of Jicheng. I have seen it. There are not many rebels there, and it is the place with the loosest defense. You can go from there."

"Why is it loose here? There is no fraud." Nian Hua leaned over to look at it and said, "Shouldn't we take more precautions in such a special place?"

Chen Zheng said helplessly: "First of all, they probably didn't expect that there would be people rushing into the city desperately now. Secondly, the river is several feet wide, and not everyone is as skilled in martial arts as you are. It is me, if there is no boat boss , and it’s hard to get through empty-handed.”

Nian Hua let out a sigh, nodded and said, "Okay, don't talk too much. Now is the most exhausting time for people, and I'm leaving!"

"Remember what we discussed." Chen Zhengdao, "If you are not prepared well, I will not be able to rush with my brothers, and the food and grass will not be transported in."

"I know, don't worry." Nianhua said while picking up a few pieces of cake and stuffing them into his arms.

"What are you doing?" Chen Zheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You're afraid of going hungry before you go in?!"

Nian Hua glared at him and walked down the mountain without saying anything.

Jun Mingfang lay on the bed and just fell asleep when she was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps.The voice didn't sound like someone from his camp. He sat up suddenly from the bed, picked up his weapon and walked out the door.

As soon as the door was opened, several torches surrounded him.The attendant also squeezed in from the crowd, stood beside him and said: "My lord, it is the emperor who arrived..."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Yuan Mutian pushed the attendant away, "You all go down."

The attendant hurriedly retreated, Ling Qing followed Yuan Mutian and Jun Mingfang into the room, and closed the door.

"Where's Nian Hua?" Yuan Mutian sat down and asked immediately.

Jun Mingfang sighed inwardly, but still replied: "He is resting in his room, does the emperor want to pass on Young Master Nian now?"

Yuan Mutian let out a long breath, relaxed a little, waved his hand and said: "No, I will go to find him in person. Mingfang, how is the deployment of the army. The Japanese pirates are getting more and more aggressive, causing trouble everywhere, and must be eradicated as soon as possible. "

"I have the guts to ask the emperor, do you want to take the emperor's personal conquest this time?" Jun Mingfang did not reply, but bent over and asked.

Yuan Mutian frowned and said: "I don't have this plan for the time being, you are still the leader of the army. However, all I have seen along the way are the evil results of Japanese pirates and traitors, and my people have been trampled by them wantonly. , The people are living in dire straits. I absolutely cannot sit on the high hall and just wait for the battle report."

"Since I'm still the general, I ask the emperor to trust my decision. This time, I will wipe out all the rebels and robbers in one fell swoop, so that they will no longer be able to make trouble." Jun Mingfang lowered his head and said.

Ling Qing stood aside and listened to Jun Mingfang's words, but felt something was wrong.There was resentment in his words, and the resentment seemed to be aimed at the emperor.Could it be that the emperor came in person to make him feel slighted?

Ling Qing could hear it, and Yuan Mutian could hear it clearly, so he understood, and asked again: "Did Nianhua ask you to send troops to break the siege of Jicheng?"

"Young Master Nian asked a question, and he didn't ask again after he knew that the minister would not send troops." Jun Mingfang replied.This is the truth, Nianhua came here to save Cheng Zihan, so he was relieved that he didn't keep pestering her.Now Yuan Mutian asked him about dispatching troops as soon as he came, just like a foolish emperor eager to satisfy his favorite concubine's wishes, no wonder Jun Mingfang felt displeased.

Yuan Mutian nodded and said: "I knew that Nianhua would not be so ignorant." Then he stood up and said, "I will go and see him. Ling Qing, go and rest yourself, you don't need to follow."

Ling Qing and Jun Mingfang looked at each other, and they both knelt down to send Yuan Mutian away.

"The emperor has really changed." After Yuan Mutian left, Jun Mingfang stood up and looked outside the door.

Ling Qing shook his head helplessly: "Mingfang, don't blame the emperor, he didn't mean to blame you for not sending troops. It's just that the horrors we saw made the emperor restless and angry during our journey, so he will..."

"I know." Jun Mingfang interrupted him, "But the emperor left the capital and rushed to the military camp just for a mere male favorite. If it's not stupid, it's what it is."

"Mingfang, don't do this." Ling Qing said helplessly, "The emperor is not blinded by the beauty, he has his own sense of propriety. Now His Royal Highness King Rui sits in the imperial city to act as an agent of state affairs, and the emperor's visit to the military camp can also shock morale .Why are you so angry because of your youth?"

Jun Mingfang turned her head and glared at Ling Qing: "You've said that now, wasn't it you who wanted to kill Nianhua in the first place?"

Ling Qing was at a loss for words, Jun Mingfang pushed his shoulders and walked towards the bed: "I'm going to sleep, there will be military affairs tomorrow. You can do whatever you want."

He just sat on the side of the bed when Yuan Mutian suddenly walked in from the outside again, with a sullen expression on his face, "Nianhua is gone."
