Your Highness, has he stopped today?

"Xingcheng is the capital of the Chu State, and no matter how well-fortified the city is, how did our army get in?"

Feng Yang knew that he would definitely ask this question, so he settled down and said, "My lord, if we fight on the border like last time, we may not have a chance of winning. In the past six months, as far as the general knows, the Hussar General of Chu State We are also recruiting troops, the Xiaoyu Army is no longer the same army as before, if we fight with real guns, we don't have a good chance of winning."

Lu Zheyu frowned, thinking that what he said was not unreasonable.Although Dingyuan's army is brave and good at fighting, since the last defeat, the main general Lu Chi's old injury has recurred, and the morale of the army has been greatly reduced. Even if he has more than half a year to recuperate, he is still not fully sure that he can defeat Chu.

What's more, there are a group of hostages like them in Xingcheng...

Feng Yang continued: "If there is a war on the border, if the emperor of Chu State uses Young Master and Young Master Yan to put pressure on them, how will the Ding Yuan Army deal with it?"

Lu Zheyu nodded slowly. After he sorted out these things slowly, he sighed slowly. "From this point of view, attacking Xingcheng is indeed the best way."

Just at this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house, and both of them were shocked.

Lu Zheyu asked in a deep voice, "Who is it?"

"Young master Lu, the dinner you ordered just now has been brought to you by my subordinates." It was the voice of an attendant from Mingluan Hall.

The two looked at each other, Feng Yang understood, and stepped on the roof beam quietly with light work.

"Come in."

The attendant pushed the door open and put the food box on the table. After bowing and saluting, Lu Zheyu waved his hand to signal him to leave.After the door was closed, Feng Yang came down from the roof, and his eyes couldn't help looking at the food box.

Lu Zheyu glanced at him: "If you don't have dinner, just have two bites?"

Feng Yang coughed lightly: "I've used it before the end of the future."

Closer to home, Feng Yang raised his eyes and looked at him seriously: "We have already lost once, if we lose again, you will never go back to Yecheng again, sir."

Lu Zheyu was silent for a moment, and then said, "How can I cooperate internally and externally?"

Seeing that he agreed, Feng Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "The final general wants you to... get the defense map of Xingcheng and Chu Palace." He paused, and then said, "At the time of His Royal Highness, Yun Jing hands."

Hearing this name, Lu Zheyu was stunned, and after a while, he raised his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Why is there such a thing in his hand?"

Feng Yang replied: "Although Shi Yunjing has no official position in the court, Ye Hanshan, the Governor of the Forbidden Army, has a Forbidden Army under his jurisdiction. This Forbidden Army is responsible for guarding Xingcheng and the Imperial Palace."

It meant that he was asked to steal the defense map of Xing City and Chu Palace from Shi Yunjing.When Lu Zheyu heard this, he remained silent.

Feng Yang tentatively said: "My lord...what do you think?"

Lu Zheyu closed his eyes and said nothing, as if he was thinking about something.

Feng Yang said again: "If there is any difficulty, the young master can tell the general."

Lu Zheyu came back to his senses and shook his head: "It's nothing."

Feng Yang's expression showed a little eagerness: "Really?"

Lu Zheyu nodded slowly, still preoccupied.

Feng Yang's expression was dark, and he said: "My lord knows that this matter is of great importance, and we must ensure everything is safe in the end."

Lu Zheyu glanced at him: "What do you want?"

Feng Yang let out a breath slowly, lowered his head and said: "If the young master insists on not telling, the general will investigate."

Hearing this, Lu Zheyu clenched his fingers into fists and tightened his brows. His cold voice was mixed with anger: "If I say it's fine, it's fine. What do you want to investigate?"

Feng Yang lowered his head and knelt down, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice, "My lord calm down, the end will be for the sake of the overall situation."

Lu Zheyu let out a breath slowly, and reached out to help him: "Get up."

Feng Yang pursed his lips, stood up, and Lu Zheyu continued: "Don't worry. I won't take this matter lightly."

Feng Yang said in a low voice: "...Thank you, young master."

"It's getting late, Shi Yunjing will be back soon, you should leave quickly." Lu Zheyu glanced at him again when he said this. "If you have nothing to do, don't stay in the palace. There are imperial forest troops everywhere, and it will be troublesome if they are discovered."

Feng Yang bowed and clasped his fists in a salute: "The defense plan is not in a hurry, but you still need to play by ear, so don't expose it."

Lu Zheyu nodded, Feng Yang said "Take care, sir" and left through the window.

After Feng Yang left, Lu Zheyu was always preoccupied.To win the Chu State, regain the lost land, and return to the homeland, this is obviously the only way to go, but he hesitated.

He was very confused now, he opened the food box sent by the attendant just now, two meats, three vegetables and one soup, the portion of each dish is not much, but it looks very delicious, just enough for him alone.It must have been Shi Yunjing's order, and the attendants of Mingluan Palace did not dare to neglect.It's just that it's been a long time, and several dishes are almost cold.

Lu Zheyu was about to eat a few mouthfuls casually, but suddenly there was a noise outside, he concentrated for a while, and when he heard the voice, he realized that it was Shi Yunjing who had returned.

Come back, come back, make such a big noise, lest people in the world will not know.

He ignored it, picked up his chopsticks, and was about to eat, but someone pushed him away from his room and rushed in, carrying two food boxes in his hand.

Lu Zheyu frowned slightly looking at the visitor.It's really strange that he still has the time to carry things by himself.

Lu Zheyu had no choice but to put down his chopsticks, stood up and bowed: "Your Highness."

Shi Yunjing froze for a moment, seeing the dishes on the table. "Why are you eating now?"

Lu Zheyu covered her mouth and coughed lightly: "It's okay to delay reading a book."

Shi Yunjing walked over and took a look, "The food is cold." Then, he raised his voice and ordered, "Come here, take these away."

A few servants came in to remove the cold food, but Lu Zheyu couldn't stop it in time, Shi Yunjing put the food boxes in his hand on the table and opened them again.

"Eat this, it's still hot."

Lu Zheyu saw that the cakes on each plate were neatly stacked and looked very delicate.

"I got it from my sister, try it quickly." With a smile on her face, Shi Yunjing sat down at the table.

Lu Zheyu was slightly stunned, picked up a piece of pastry, stuffed it into his mouth and tasted it, it really tasted very good.Shi Yunjing brought another dish in front of him: "Try this again."

Under his urging, Lu Zheyu tasted the dishes in front of him one by one.Shi Yunjing sat at the table with his chin resting on his hand, watching him eat all the time.

"how is the taste?"

Lu Zheyu nodded: "Very good."

"I treat you well? I think of you first in everything." Shi Yunjing blinked her eyes, as if asking for credit.

Lu Zheyu smiled, "Your Highness didn't think of me until after eating and drinking with the princess."

Shi Yunjing snorted twice: "It would be nice to bring you something to eat, and pick and choose..."

"Your highness went to the princess's place, but did you go there just to eat and drink?"

"It's not really..." Shi Yunjing was quite absent-minded, and turned her head to tell the attendants to clean up the remaining pastries, and then ordered them to guard outside the door.Now that there are two more people in Mingluan Palace, they can no longer talk unscrupulously like before.

"I haven't seen her since I came back from the last hunting. She asked me about my assassination in the name of letting me eat pastries."

Lu Zheyu tentatively asked: "So, the princess knows about His Highness's injury?"

"I originally planned to hide it from her." Shi Yunjing sighed lightly. "Women are really troublesome. I just need to torture her to extract a confession. I can only tell her the truth."

"The princess is also concerned about His Highness." Lu Zheyu smiled, and continued to speak seriously, "Since the princess knows about the assassin, what did you say to Your Highness?"

Lu Zheyu raised his eyebrows, playing with taste: "Why, you still plan to inquire about the king and the princess?"

……Again.

Lu Zheyu lowered his eyes: "Your Highness doesn't want to say anything, why bother to test the minister like this."

Shi Yunjing waited for a while, hugged his arm, and put his head on his shoulder: "I have talked a lot with my sister, do you want to listen? I can tell you. But you must not tell others, otherwise, we will I can't live with the Xiao family."

Lu Zheyu was startled.

He guessed that Princess Su Ning sent someone to Lanyue Palace not just to taste pastries, and also guessed that the two of them must have talked about some ulterior secrets all afternoon.Now he said, if you want to tell him about the life of him and the Xiao family, do you trust him?Or is it not true what I'm about to tell?

Lu Zheyu didn't speak for a long time, and even forgot to push away Shi Yunjing who was holding his arm.

After a while, Shi Yunjing saw that he was not moving, so she raised her eyes to look at him: "You don't want to hear?"

Only then did Lu Zheyu come back to his senses, and turned his gaze away.He didn't know how to answer, and even subconsciously wanted to refuse, to refuse Shi Yunjing's trust.

Shi Yunjing let go of him, leaned slightly, stared into his eyes, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth: "Even if you don't want to hear it, this king wants to tell you, so I think it's pulling you into the water. Pulling you into a thief If the boat capsizes in the future, there will be someone to accompany you, not bad.”

Lu Zheyu leaned back slightly involuntarily, and the two looked at each other, and the faint feeling of guilt in their hearts just now disappeared in an instant.

"Your Highness, you are really too much."

Shi Yunjing looked to the side and smiled at him: "It's not a day or two since I've been too much, this is the first time you know?"

Lu Zheyu looked at him and said sternly: "What important matter does your Highness want to tell me? Be careful that walls have ears. Even if I don't say it, what if it gets out from someone else's mouth?"

"Then are you worried about me?" Shi Yunjing blinked.

"...His Highness thinks it is."

"It's okay, then I'll speak quietly." Shi Yunjing smiled, leaned over to his ear, and really planned to "speak quietly".

Lu Zheyu couldn't help but slightly frowned as the hot air sprayed against his ears.

"The emperor wants to take this king's life again and again, so don't blame the Xiao family for preparing for a mutiny."
