Yuan Ziying shook her head: "I don't dare to say nonsense, but...it's all such a coincidence..."

Cao Ji looked at Yuan Ziying: "Who asked you to come?"

Yuan Ziying took out something from her arms and handed it to Cao Ji, her eyes red: "This is the token the general gave me before he died. He asked me to report the news. He said he was being plotted and he couldn't let all his subordinates be framed. , His Highness Prince Duan was fine when the villain came, but..."

She wiped her tears and said, "The villain has been hiding all the way. After just a few days of traveling, he heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has been enthroned as the emperor, and that the General and Prince Duan...His Royal Highness Duan Prince and the others, they have been...already in trouble. few……

Bang!

Cao Ji punched the table with a livid face: "I fought bloody battles at the border and fought to the death, but they are plotting behind me to kill me! Such a foolish king, I -"

"General, you'd better think of a way quickly." Yuan Ziying was extremely anxious, "The general said before he died that if he couldn't defend the border, he would definitely save your lives. I must...must bring the words to... "

After saying this, she fainted.

"Oh! Little brother! Little brother!" A general quickly stretched out his hand to support him. "This little body is really thin. Running such a long distance by one person will be very stressful."

Yuan Ziying opened her eyes and raised her hand to hold her forehead: "I'm fine, little one..."

"Come here!" Cao Ji ordered, "Take this little brother down to wash up, prepare some food for him, and prepare a room for rest. No one is allowed to neglect him."

"yes."

Cao Ji discussed countermeasures with his trusted generals in the study.

They don’t want to lose their lives for no reason.

If it is determined that the new emperor wants to eradicate the remaining members of the palace general's command, then they will be dead ends even if they resist desperately.

In this case, let the belated army be responsible for resisting the enemy.

Cao Ji immediately ordered his generals: "Withdraw all our men and retreat eight hundred miles."

"General, will this...will there be any problems?"

"What can go wrong?" Cao Ji said with a gloomy look on his face, "The prince will definitely kill us all when he ascends the throne. In this case, do we still need to fight to the death here? His confidants are powerful, so let his confidants perform meritorious service!"

They just retreated 800 miles, not escaped from the battlefield.

Let the new generals have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds and fight to the death with the Yong Dynasty army. When the Black Armored Army is defeated, they will come out to turn the tide, win this military merit, and completely conquer the morale of the army.

When the military power is in his hands, who dares to touch them?

Thinking of this, Cao Ji immediately spoke: "Yong's offensive is fierce, and our strong resistance will only increase more casualties. In this case, it is better to conserve our strength."

Several of his generals thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with his decision.

So just when the attack and counterattack at the tower were in full swing, the troops were suddenly withdrawn, and teams of people left.

The defense of the city tower became increasingly loose, until it fell into an uninhabited state.

When Cao Ji, who was in charge of the rear, ordered someone to call the soldier who reported the news, he found that the soldier had disappeared.

"Missing?" Cao Ji frowned, "Isn't he tired and resting?"

"Yes, he said after eating some food that he was tired and needed to sleep. But when his subordinates went to look for him, they found that there was no one on the bed and the soldier was gone."

Cao Ji looked ugly, "Why is he missing? Have you found him in the general's mansion?"

"Found it."

"Are there any signs of a fight in the house?"

"The windows are broken, the bedside table has fallen over, and there is a bag of silver under the pillow that I haven't taken."

Cao Ji frowned: "Did you get kidnapped while you were sleeping?"

"But the General's Mansion is heavily guarded and there are archers everywhere. Who has the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the earth and take people away from the General's Mansion quietly?"

Cao Ji said coldly: "He traveled thousands of miles to come here, and he doesn't seem to be a master. He can't possibly leave on his own, right?"

If he really left by himself, why did he forget to take the money with him?

The subordinate asked: "General, do you want to investigate?"

Cao Ji said coldly: "There is no time to check, let's go first."

"yes."

Half an hour later, the Yong Dynasty army broke into the city like a tide.

Jiangcheng has long been an empty city.

Except for the unarmed civilians, all the soldiers retreated cleanly.

"All escaped?" Xiao Nanfeng sat on the horse, turned to look at the empty defense in the city, and looked at Yan Donghuang in surprise, "Your Majesty, what is going on?"

Yan Donghuang held the reins in his hand and rode his horse slowly into the city: "It should be Xie Yunjian and Yuan Ziying."

Xiao Qingwu said in confusion: "How did your majesty know that it was them?"

Yan Donghuang said nothing.

Suddenly there was the dull sound of horse hooves ahead.

Yan Donghuang and the Xiao brothers looked around and saw a person galloping in front of them. When they got closer, they discovered that it was Xie Yunjian.

After reining in his horse, Xie Yunjian turned over and dismounted, kneeling on one knee: "I thank you Yunjian, and see my emperor long live."

"Get up." Yan Donghuang looked calm, "Where is Ziying?"

"She is still changing her clothes." Xie Yunjian stood up with a smile on his lips, "Your Majesty may not believe that the Beiliang Army's emergency retreat last night was all because of Ziying's provocation."

Xiao Nanfeng and Xiao Qingwu were surprised: "So powerful?"

"It's not entirely because Ziying is so powerful." Xie Yunjian got on the horse quickly, "It's just that too many things have happened in Beiliang recently. General Gong Liancheng died suddenly in the capital, and several generals guarding the border have not received news yet. Ziying Tell them the news and let them know that General Gong’s death is the emperor’s conspiracy.”

Xiao Nanfeng raised his eyebrows: "Cao Ji believes her one-sided story?"

"It's not a one-sided statement." Xie Yunjian slowly led the way, "After all, it is true that Gong Liancheng is dead, and the additional troops sent by the emperor are still on the way. If Cao Ji and the soldiers die on the battlefield, all the credit will go to others. . Ziying just let them know this fact and told them that the reinforcements were moving so slowly that there was no time to reach Jiangcheng for rescue. "

Yan Donghuang's expression was calm: "Zi Ying is the biggest contributor, and I must reward her well after I return."

Xiao Nanfeng truly admired her: "Not to mention whether her method worked or not, her courage to go to the enemy camp alone is enough to make her admire her."

Xiao Qingwu nodded: "That's right."

The group of people galloped on their horses and arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion.

The place is deserted.

Yan Donghuang dismounted and entered the mansion, and ordered his guards to tidy up the mansion. "The soldiers will set up camp outside, make fires to cook, and have a good rest."

"yes."

As soon as she passed through the gate of the front yard, she looked up and saw Yuan Ziying walking towards her in a purple dress. The girl's face was pretty and bright, and no one who saw her would be wary of her.

Yuan Ziying stopped, saluted Yan Donghuang, and looked at her with a smile, "Your Majesty, am I very powerful?"

Yan Donghuang smiled and said: "It's really amazing, I should remember it as my first achievement."
