The arranger sent Su Wenzheng and He Xiyun back to Anning. Wei Lingxue took Tao Jiusi non-stop, and they returned to Ning Province in only fifteen days.However, they did not expect that a huge event happened in Ning Province at this time.

But it said that more than two months ago, Ji Yuanfei went to inspect the border in place of Wei Chengxue, but this time he left the palace, and he never returned.Even Wei Chengxue came back from King Chu, but Ji Yuanfei still had no news.

Before Wei Lingxue went to Jingluo, he had arranged for Yao Wangze to lead someone to investigate. This person had been away for dozens of days, and he came back not long ago with an anxious face, bringing back news that shocked everyone.

As soon as Wei Chengxue and Tao Jiusi arrived at the palace, Yao Wangze called the inspector to tell the matter again.

It turned out that something happened to Ji Yuanfei during his patrol, and he and his followers were inexplicably detained by the defenders at the border between Ning Province and Dong Qi!

The man faltered for a while, and then said: "This team of defenders is stationed in Wutuo, the easternmost city in Ning Province. It is said that when Mr. Ji visited here a month ago, Ningjin heard... came... King Zhao's illness Heavy news, and then the soldiers in the city mutinied and detained Mr. Ji."

After finishing speaking, he secretly went to see Wei Chengxue, seeing that the other party didn't mean to blame him, so he put his heart back into his stomach.

Xia Kaiyan said worriedly: "I hope Mr. Ji won't suffer any torture. He is a literati, so his body must be very weak." Immediately, a picture of Ji Yuanfei being tied up and bruised appeared in his mind.

Su Qingquan also said: "The defenders have mutinied, Mr. Ji's situation is probably not good."

Everyone in Prince Zhao's Mansion is worried about Ji Yuanfei's safety, but at this moment, Ji Yuanfei is sitting in the Wutuo State Mansion, drinking tea, well-dressed.

"Mr. Ji, the conditions offered by His Majesty Dong Qi are really good. You should always think about it carefully." Wu Tuo guard Zhang Dayong sat beside Ji Yuanfei, persuading him with kind words, "Besides, you are in our hands now, or die. , or surrender to Dongqi, there is no third choice."

Ji Yuanfei was anxious, but she still kept her demeanor and calmness on her face: "King Zhao treats you well, why did he break his promise?"

Zhang Dayong laughed, and said: "It's not that I want to collude with the enemy, it's that the brothers can't stand Zhao Wang's military discipline, it's too strict, too much control, we never lived this kind of life before. But it's different in Dongqi Yes, not only the conditions are good, but also a lot of beauties and treasures, how can my brothers hold on? When David wants to live a life of austerity, he can do whatever he wants by voting for Dongqi. Everyone in this business It will all count.”

Ji Yuanfei remained silent, these soldiers were not trying to defend their home and country, they were simply speculating.

"Sir, you have lived with me for more than ten days, and you have good tea and food every day. Don't you appreciate the kindness of the Emperor Dongqi?"

Ji Yuanfei didn't answer, but said: "His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is wise and powerful, if you repent now, I can still intercede for you."

Zhang Dayong clicked his tongue twice, "Mr. Ji, I'm a rough man, not a fool. King Zhao is seriously ill, how can he be so wise and powerful? According to me, now is a great time to defect to Dong Qi."

Ji Yuanfei didn't have any flirtations with this person, so he just concentrated on drinking tea.

Seeing that Ji Yuanfei didn't speak, Zhang Dayong felt bored, so he swaggered out the door, and only asked the guards at the door to keep an eye on the people inside.

There was no one chattering in Ji Yuanfei's ears, and his thoughts returned to a month ago.

At that time, he took dozens of entourages to inspect Wu Tuo, and he felt wrong when he met Zhang Dayong. Few of the generals in other places knew the situation of King Zhao's mansion, but Zhang Dayong inquired about King Zhao's condition as soon as they met, which had to make life difficult. suspect.After the dinner in the evening, Ji Yuanfei ordered one of his attendants to sneak around the defenders to spy on the situation when everyone was drunk.

Sure enough, there was a Dongqi man hidden in Zhang Dayong's big tent!The man looked to be in his early thirties, wearing the military uniform of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, tall, handsome and heroic.

Suddenly the man turned around, revealing the other half of his face, and the attendant was taken aback, only to see that there was a hideous scar on this half of his face, stretching from the temple to the cheek, but it didn't damage the man's appearance, on the contrary it made it more Show majesty.

Ji Yuanfei was shocked when he heard the news, no matter who this Eastern Qi man was, Zhang Dayong's rebellion was a certainty, and when they met each other to inquire about Wei Lingxue's physical condition, they were probably planning the time to raise troops.

Guessing this result, Ji Yuanfei immediately ordered his followers to pack their things, and prepared to leave Wutuo overnight and return to Ningjin, but when they just got out of the big tent, they saw a smiling Zhang Dayong surrounded by hundreds of people, Zhang Dayong smiled Said: "Mr. Ji sees Weizhi's work, and I admire it, but since you have discovered this secret, you should stay in Wutuo as a guest for the time being, so that I can do my best as a landlord."

In this way, Ji Yuanfei was detained for more than ten days, and the entourage brought from Prince Zhao's mansion also did not know whether to live or die.

Wei Lingxue and Tao Jiusi didn't know that Wu Tuo's defenders had colluded with the enemy at this time, so they ordered two thousand palaces to visit Wu Tuo in order to save Ji Yuanfei.

However, before leaving, Tao Jiusi suddenly remembered vaguely that he seemed to have seen the document handed over by Wei Lingxue in his previous life, saying that a certain garrison had mutinied, but it had been a long time ago, so he didn't know if it was Wu Tuo. Just in case, Shen Jieyi was asked to allocate 2 people to let Ye Liufeng lead the team to arrive later.

Wu Tuo guards the key points between David and Eastern Qi. It is a battleground between the two countries. Its importance is self-evident. David has always been guarded by heavy troops. The defense has also been relaxed, and the quantity and quality of Wutuo's garrison can no longer be compared with before.

When Wei Lingxue and Tao Jiusi rushed to Wutuo, the information they got at the beginning was that the defenders were dissatisfied with military discipline, and took advantage of rumors that King Zhao was seriously ill and mutinied.

Wei Lingxue sent someone to send a letter to Zhang Dayong, saying that his serious illness was purely fictional, and he hoped to resolve the crisis through peace talks. At the same time, he did not relax his vigilance and asked Ye Liufeng to station 2 people not far away to prevent the situation. There are changes.

Not long after, Zhang Dayong also wrote back a letter, lamenting that it was not easy for the brothers, and that this mutiny was really a last resort. I hope that Zhao Wang will allow a few days before he can do a good job for his subordinates.In addition, Ji Yuanfei and the others ate well and slept well, so His Royal Highness Zhao Wang did not have to worry.

Wei Lingxue returned to the channel again, giving him a few more days, and told Zhang Dayong brothers what opinions he had, and said boldly that he would never pursue it afterwards.

Zhang Dayong replied again, Zhao Wang is very grateful for his kindness, and he will definitely do his best.

Back and forth, the two tossed and tossed for more than ten days, but still did not see any substantial progress.

Seeing that it was mid-June, they had spent a long time on this matter, Tao Jiusi finally couldn't sit still, and hinted at Wei Lingxue: "Your Highness, mutinies have always been dissatisfied with the current treatment, they should make specific requests, and Let's bargain one by one, but we've been here for so long, Zhang Dayong is mostly talking nonsense."

Wei Nexue glanced at him and said thoughtfully, "Are you trying to say that Zhang Dayong is collaborating with the enemy?"

Tao Jiusi nodded: "Now it's just delaying time, the most likely thing is to wait for Dong Qi's instructions."

Ye Liufeng at the side took out the map, pointed at Wu Tuo, and said, "Your Highness, Wu Tuo is David's Fortress. Even if Zhang Dayong is just a mutiny, we should take this opportunity to replace him with a reassuring general."

Tao Jiusi said: "Zhang Dayong has been suspicious for so long, and we have not acted. He probably thinks that we have been fooled, and he may relax his vigilance. If we attack the city at this time, he will definitely be caught off guard."

Wei Lingxue propped his head on one hand, pondered for a moment, and asked, "About how many defenders does Wu Tuo have?"

"There are about 3 people." Ye Liufeng replied: "Although there are more people than us, since the mutiny, all these 3 people have retreated to the city. Collapse without a fight."

Wei Nexue picked up the map, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "Xiao Tao, what do you mean?"

The outside world said that King Zhao was good at making decisions and would never change his decisions easily, but everyone in the King Zhao’s family knew that King Zhao not only wanted to ask Tao Jiusi about everything, but also that King Zhao would know what Tao Jiusi insisted on doing. Give up, and from the housework of the palace to the siege of the city and the land in the battle, they are all the same.

Gradually, everyone knew that the palace actually had two masters, one was naturally King Zhao, and the other was Tao Jiusi.

The same is true at this time, Zhao Wang has made a decision in his heart, but he still wants to hear Tao Jiusi's meaning.

Tao Jiusi frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Liufeng is right. We have no worries about food and grass. We can surround ourselves for a while. Zhang Dayong's military discipline is lax, and people's hearts will fluctuate after a long time. At that time, attacking the city will get twice the result with half the effort."

Wei Lingxue nodded, secretly grabbed Tao Jiusi's hand, rubbed it ceaselessly, and said calmly, "Liufeng, what Xiaotao said is what I mean, let's do it."

Ye Liufeng's eyelids trembled, and he almost choked to death on the dog food thrown by Zhao Wang, so he quickly lowered his head: "Yes, I will arrange it right away."

As soon as Ye Liufeng went out, Tao Jiusi shook off Wei Lingxue's hand and warned, "No one is allowed to mess around in the future!"

With a flash of light in Wei Lingxue's eyes, he circled Tao Jiusi on the chair, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Tao, there is no one now..."

Tao Jiusi: "You! You... um..."

To be honest, Tao Jiusi misses the cold-faced Wei Lingxue a little bit, at least it can let him live in peace for a while.

Thousands of miles away, in the Eastern Qi Palace, Qi Xiandu stared at the gloomy sky outside the window with his uncertain eyes, playing with his taste: "Oh? He actually came in person? Interesting, interesting."

Boom, a bolt of lightning struck, lighting up the dark room for a moment.Lu Douxing happened to look up at Qi Xiandu, and suddenly, he found that the handsome Qi Xiandu was inexplicably terrifying, especially the smiling right face, which was even more strange than ever.

Lu Douxing shuddered, and quickly lowered his head again.
