Her Highness Doesn’t Want to Work Hard Anymore

Li Ji didn't want to wait any longer. If Li Liao hadn't dissuaded him, he would have liked to launch an attack now.

Under Li Liao's persuasion, they finally set the attack time at midnight tonight.

At that time, the dead of night is the time when people are most likely to relax, which is very suitable for raids.

The next step is to determine the attack plan.

Li Ji and Bian Ziming knew everything about the city's defenses. They said that knowing yourself and your enemy would lead to a hundred battles. Under such circumstances, they quickly worked out the best plan.

At this moment, Chen Wangbei hurried in.

"Report to the lord, Zhong Anbo asks to see you."

Everyone in the tent was startled.

Li Ji stood up: "Who did you say is here?"

Chen Wangbei explained the matter again.

It turned out that the new emperor specially appointed Zhong Anbo as an envoy to negotiate with the regent.

As for why Zhong Amber was chosen as the envoy?

Li Ji could understand his intentions just by thinking about it casually.

Zhong Anbo is his father-in-law, if he does not kill Zhong Anbo because of his nostalgia, Zhong Anbo will be able to successfully complete the mission of negotiation.

But if he is so mad that he even wants to kill his father-in-law, then the new emperor can accuse him of being cruel and ruthless, killing the elders, and reduce his reputation among the people.

Anyway, no matter what happens in the end, the new emperor will not suffer.

I have to say that this calculation is really good.

Li Ji sneered: "Let him in."

Chen Wangbei clasped his fists in response, "Here!"

Everyone left politely.

Only Li Liao did not leave, he looked at Li Ji and asked.

"Li Qiong chose to send Zhong Anbo to see you at this time, and his intention is obvious."

Li Ji said expressionlessly: "I know, Manman is still in his hand, that is his last hole card."

Li Liao actually regretted it.

If he had known that Manman would fall into Li Qiong's hands, he should not have agreed to let Manman go to Tianjing.

But then again.

If Man Man was not allowed to go to Tianjing, Li Xun could not be rescued from the palace with the manpower he arranged in Tianjing.

One gain and one loss, it is hard to tell which result is better.

Li Liao asked, "What are you going to do?"

Li Ji: "Let's see their attitude first."

Li Liao was full of worry in his heart.

Based on his understanding of Li Ji, this kid regards Manman more than his life.

If Li Qiong really wants to threaten Man Man's life, Li Ji can do anything.

Soon Zhong Anbo was taken into the tent.

Hua Dingzong felt uneasy.

When the new emperor named him as an envoy, his first thought was to resist.

Just kidding, the Regent is a rebel leader who kills without batting an eyelid. The number of innocent souls who died under his hands is unknown, and his temper is extremely bad, and his mind is treacherous, so it is impossible to use ordinary people's thinking to figure out him.

What if he suddenly became so fierce that he could even kill his own father-in-law?

However, the king has a life, and the minister has to obey.

Even though he knew that he might be going to die, Hua Dingzong bit the bullet and went for it.

Hua Dingzong spoke tremblingly.

"His Royal Highness, long time no see."

In order to make himself look more calm, he squeezed out a smile on purpose.

However, in the eyes of Li Ji and Li Liao, this smile was uglier than crying.

Li Liao secretly sighed, sending such a useless guy to negotiate, it is obvious that the new emperor is very confident in the outcome of the negotiation, the new emperor does not care whether Hua Dingzong has the ability to negotiate, he only needs Hua Dingzong to convey the information to Li Ji In the ears on the line.

Facts proved that Li Liao's guess was right.

After a brief silence, Hua Dingzong saw that Li Ji had no intention of answering the conversation at all, knowing that even if he wanted to have an awkward chat, he would not be able to continue the chat, so he could only explain his intention bitterly.

"To be honest, I came here this time to deliver a secret letter to the prince."

Hua Dingzong took out a letter from his arms and presented it with both hands.

Before departure, the new emperor specially called Hua Dingzong to him, personally handed over the secret letter to Hua Dingzong, and repeatedly urged him to deliver the letter to the regent.

The new emperor told him that as long as the regent read this letter, he would definitely agree to all his requests, allowing him to speak boldly.

Regarding this, Hua Dingzong was always skeptical.

He felt that given the difficulty of the regent, he should not compromise so easily.

The envelope was sealed with clay.

Li Ji tore open the envelope directly, and took out a thin piece of letter paper, on which he simply wrote two lines——

Your wife's life is in my hands. If you want to save her life, you will enter the palace alone before dark, and I will wait for the good news.

Attached with the letter is a thin silk handkerchief.

Li Ji brought the silk handkerchief to the tip of his nose and smelled it, and there was still a familiar fragrance on it.

It was Man Man's body smell.

He folded the silk handkerchief and stuffed it into his sleeve, and handed the letter to Li Liao beside him.

After reading the contents of the letter, Li Liao's expression changed slightly.

"You can't go!"

Although the new emperor did not explain the purpose of letting Li Ji enter the palace in his heart, he could know with his toes that once Li Ji entered the palace alone, it would be like sending a sheep to the tiger's mouth, and there must be no return!

Once Li Ji dies, the Xuanjia Army will be leaderless, and they will definitely be defeated.

At that time, the new emperor will be able to put down the rebellion easily and firmly secure his throne.

Of course Li Ji also knew this truth.

But with Man Man's life in his hands, Li Ji couldn't ignore it.

He looked at Zhong Amber and asked.

"Aside from asking you to bring the letter, what else did Li Qiong tell you?"

Hua Dingzong said cautiously: "The saint hopes that when you enter the city, you don't bring anyone with you, take off your coat, and don't bring weapons..."

In the end, he also seemed to feel that this request was too wishful thinking, and he felt guilty, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

He thought that the regent would be furious and scold them for their whims.

Unexpectedly, the regent replied coldly in the next moment.

"Can."

Hua Dingzong thought he had heard wrong.

He couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked in disbelief.

"You, you agreed?"

Li Ji didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he said directly: "You go out first, let me prepare for it."

Hua Dingzong was invited out in a daze.

As soon as the people left, Li Liao couldn't wait to speak.

"Li Qiong obviously wants you to die, you can't be fooled!"

Li Ji: "If I don't go, Manman will die."

Li Liao: "We can find another way to save her."

Li Ji asked back: "What can you do? Send people into the palace? Although Li Qiong doesn't have great wisdom, he still has some cleverness. He knows the importance of Manman, and he will definitely strengthen his guard so that we don't have any chance." Take advantage of it."

Li Liao was not reconciled: "Try it first, maybe you can succeed."

Li Ji: "If the attempt fails, you will lose your life. I can't afford this risk."

Li Liao still wanted to persuade him, but he forcibly interrupted him.

"You don't need to say any more, I've made up my mind to go, since Li Qiong insists on seeing me, I'll go meet him in person for a while.

If I have not returned before midnight tonight, you order the city to be attacked.

The siege plan has already been discussed, and everything can be done according to the plan.

After the matter is done, you support Goudan as the emperor.

Although Goudan is a bit naughty, his mind is quite clever. As long as you can teach him well, you may not be able to achieve something in the future. "

Seeing that he had arranged everything properly, Li Liao couldn't help asking.

"how about you?"

Li Ji took out the green purse from his arms and stroked it lightly.

"I will find Manman. If she lives, I will live. If she dies, I will die."
