Zhu Nao

As soon as Huang Dongxuan led the army out of the palace gate, it was only a hundred meters away, and Zhou Yizong led his men to catch up.

When Zhou Yizong saw Huang Dongxuan, he immediately bristled with anger, wishing he could pounce on him and bite him to death: "Your surname is Huang, what are you doing?!"

"What are you doing?" Huang Dongxuan raised his eyebrows and took the time to wipe off the blood on his hands, as if he didn't understand why he was angry, "What did I do?"

"You, you, you," Zhou Yizong trembled with anger, pointing at his nose and said, "You sent troops in the middle of the night, you violated the military order, you are, you are going to rebel!!"

Huang Dongxuan was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing: "Military order? Who gave me the military order? Whose rebellion am I rebelling against? You? Zhou Toad, you take a picture of yourself taking pictures of yourself, what kind of thing are you?"

His series of questioning made Zhou Yizong speechless.In terms of official position, he is not above Huang Dongxuan, and naturally he has no right to formulate military laws for Huang Dongxuan.However, he was under the order of the governor of Jiangling, so he felt that he had the right to take care of Huang Dongxuan.

In fact, Zhou Yizong didn't know what Huang Dongxuan's sudden purpose was.He was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night when he was suddenly woken up, saying that Huang Dongxuan had left the camp with more than 1000 people. He was frightened and hurriedly led his troops to the capital, only to find that the gate of the city had been breached, and he was frightened out of his wits .Huang Dongxuan has always acted against the rules, and even seemed a little crazy to him, and tonight was even more crazy - Zhou Yizong even suspected that this guy might not want to break into the capital overnight, tie up the little emperor, and take charge of it himself. Court? !

In short, no matter what Huang Dongxuan's purpose is, if he does such things secretly, it shows that he intends to betray.Otherwise, there would be no need for him to hide his plan from Jiangling Governor and himself.So Zhou Yizong couldn't let her succeed no matter what, he grabbed his arm and said viciously: "Take your soldiers and follow me back immediately!"

Huang Dongxuan looked at Zhou Yizong coldly.

Zhou Yizong's spine felt chills from his gaze, but he held on and refused to lose his momentum, and stared back with his eyes wide open.

Huang Dongxuan suddenly laughed.He turned his head and pointed behind him: "Zhou Toad, look, the palace is right in front of you. Are you sure you want me to go back now? You don't want to go into the palace to have a look?"

Zhou Yizong was taken aback for a moment, and also hesitated.To be honest, he has never been to the capital, so how could he not be curious about what the place where the Dragon Qi is located is?But he was very afraid of Huang Dongxuan, and he never believed in Huang Dongxuan. At this time, the most important thing was to stop Huang Dongxuan. Otherwise, if Huang Dongxuan caused some major troubles, he would not be able to eat and walk around after returning.

So he immediately took out a talisman from his pocket, held it high above his head, and said loudly: "The governor of Jiangling has an order. I can use this talisman to directly command the entire army! All Jiangling soldiers, withdraw immediately!"

The surroundings fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at the talisman in Zhou Yizong's hand.

The expressions of Zhou Yizong's subordinates were complacent, while the expressions of Huang Dongxuan's subordinates were unhappy.It was the military talisman of the governor of Jiangling, and it did have the power to command the entire army.The fact that the Governor of Jiangling gave him to Zhou Yizong does not necessarily mean how much he trusts and values ​​Zhou Yizong, but just how guarded and afraid he is of Huang Dongxuan.

After a while, Huang Dongxuan burst out laughing, laughing so hard that Zhou Yizong's scalp went numb, for fear that he would suddenly get into trouble.

However, to Zhou Yizong's surprise, after Huang Dongxuan finished laughing, he took a deep look at him with unfathomable eyes.Afterwards, Huang Dongxuan suddenly ordered: "Brothers, retreat!"

The messenger waved the flag of withdrawing troops and recalled the soldiers who were scattered around the imperial city and fought against the rebels.

Under the slightly pale sky, a group of surprise soldiers who penetrated into the hinterland of the capital quickly withdrew like this, gradually leaving behind the once mighty imperial city...

=====

After dawn, Wei Yue hurried to Zhu Nao's tent.

Zhu Nao is having breakfast with Jing Zhe in the tent, there is a pot of millet porridge, several plates of pickles, and two steamed buns on the table.As soon as Wei Yue entered the tent, she yelled loudly: "A big accident happened last night!... Hey, are you eating?"

He wasn't too polite, went over and pulled a stool to sit down, picked up a steamed bun, dipped it in some pickles and gnawed it.

Zhu Nao put a chopstick of pickled vegetables into the porridge: "What happened?"

Wei Yue sprayed scum all over his mouth: "General Huang Dongxuan of the Jiangling Army, he led his troops to attack and entered the capital!"

Jing Zhe put down the bowl in surprise, Zhu Nao's chopsticks paused in mid-air: "Did it go in? Then what?"

Wei Yue swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns: "I heard that he had already reached the foot of the imperial city, and then Zhou Yizong - also belonged to the Jiangling army, but he was not in the same faction - led people to catch up and stop them, so they withdrew the army gone."

Jing Zhe was shocked and said: "Are you at the foot of the imperial city, have you withdrawn your troops?"

Wei Yue rubbed his chin: "I also think it's unbelievable. They've already reached the foot of the imperial city, and now they're withdrawing? But that's what the spies said." He asked Zhu Nao, "Boss, what do you think is going on? ?”

Zhu Nao shook his head, obviously not quite sure why: "Maybe there was some accident."

Wei Yue shrugged.

Regarding Huang Dongxuan's sudden dispatch of troops, he was neither surprised nor surprised.He was not surprised because he had already expected that Huang Dongxuan was not a fuel-efficient lamp. He was plotted by the princes in turns at the King Qin meeting but he didn't say a word, which shows that he must have other plans.He was surprised because he didn't expect Huang Dongxuan to be so crazy.The Jiangling army originally had only 3000 people, and I heard that he only brought more than 1000 people to attack the capital last night, and he even succeeded in the attack!

People who can do such a thing, the ability is second to none, courage is the rarest thing.

But what Wei Yue didn't understand was why Huang Dongxuan was making this farce?Could it be that he, like Xie Wuji, has the ambition to take over the emperor?So what's the matter with retreating after attacking the gate of the imperial city?Is he so afraid of Zhou Yizong?

It would be even more wrong if he could not understand the prevarication and delay of other princes and wanted to save the court and the emperor as soon as possible.Why did he send troops secretly without telling everyone in the middle of the night?

After much deliberation, I couldn't figure out the significance of Huang Dongxuan's actions.It was as if he had just sung a play with great effort and invited the world to watch it for free.

Wei Yue asked Zhu Nao: "Boss, do you know what Huang Dongxuan wants to do?"

Zhu Nao finished his last mouthful of porridge, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and wiped his mouth: "Let's fish like Mr. Jiang."

Wei Yue was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood.yes!From this incident alone, it can be seen how serious the internal strife in the army of Jiangling Mansion is, and how much Huang Dongxuan is feared in Jiangling Mansion.With Huang Dongxuan's temperament and ability, how could he be willing to live in Jiangning mansion for a long time?

Therefore, he is not for Qin Wang, he is singing.He wants to let the princes all over the world see his ability, and when some princes who are eager for his talents appear and offer him conditions that he cannot get in Jiangling Mansion, he will be able to leave Jiangling Mansion logically!

Wei Yue immediately turned her attention to Zhu Nao.Zhu Nao was lowering his eyes thoughtfully.

Is he thinking about whether to recruit Huang Dongxuan?Are you thinking about how to recruit Huang Dongxuan?It must be!Zhu Nao has always loved talents, even with his own background, he dared to promote and cultivate them boldly, so how could he let Huang Dongxuan go?

Wei Yue also had some sympathy for Huang Dongxuan, but he wanted to take the initiative to ask Ying to get in touch with him.He joked, "Boss, are you tempted?"

"Huh?" Zhu Nao was distracted, and was pulled back to his senses by his sudden question, and gave him an inexplicable look, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about.

Wei Yue wondered, "Don't tell me you're not interested in Huang Dongxuan?"

"Well..." Zhu Nao was noncommittal, and said, "Let's not worry about this."

"What?" Wei Yue was taken aback.If it wasn't for Huang Dongxuan... "Boss, what were you thinking just now?"

Zhu Nao said, "I was thinking... General Xie must be very upset."

Wei Yue: "..." Huh?

Zhu Nao had finished his breakfast, and Jing Zhe at the side had already put down his bowl and chopsticks.So Zhu Nao stood up and said, "Let's go, let's find General Xie."

Jing Zhe hurriedly stood up: "Yes, young master."

Wei Yue: "..."

He stared dumbfounded at the two going out.

……

Zhu Nao and Jing Zhe came to Xie Wuji's tent, they waited for a while before Wu Cong came out of the tent.

His expression was rather strange, and he said politely: "Fu Yin Zhu, the general has important matters to attend to, and it is inconvenient to see guests right now. If the Fu Yin has anything to do, you might as well leave a message, and when the general finishes his work, he will send a message to the Fu Fu as soon as possible." Yin has an answer."

Both Zhu Nao and Cheng Jingzhe were a little surprised.

For more than a month since arriving in the Central Plains, no matter Zhu Nao or Xie Wuji, they have been unimpeded in the other side's barracks.When Zhu Nao came to look for Xie Wuji, Xie Wuji was busy, and he would not avoid him, or do things in front of him, or put down what he was doing to talk to him first.This was the first time, others were already waiting outside the tent, but Xie Wuji refused to see him.

Jing Zhe wanted to say something, but Zhu Nao said gently, "It's nothing, I just heard about what happened last night and wanted to chat with General Xie. Since General Xie is busy, let's forget it."

Wu Cong was a little guilty, his eyes dodged, and he said, "Then I'll send Mrs. Zhu home."

But Zhu Nao smiled and said: "No need." After speaking, he left with Jing Zhe.

……

The two of them walked for a while, Jing Zhe couldn't help but speak, a little aggrieved: "Then Huang Dongxuan didn't follow the Young Master's order to attack the capital, why did General Xie turn his anger on the Young Master? It really doesn't make sense."

Zhu Nao smiled, a little happy.

Jing Zhe was puzzled: "Young Master, what are you laughing at?"

Zhu Nao said: "This seems to be the first time I have seen Xie Wuji acting out of his will."

Jing Zhe was startled.

Not long ago, he told Zhu Nao that he found that Xie Wuji was not a person without emotions, but he seldom showed it to others, and he didn't make decisions based on personal emotions.But this time, Xie Wuji refused to see Zhu Nao, really acted out of temper.

Although a little naive, it is rare to show his flesh and blood side.

Come to think of it, he was in a really bad mood...

……

After watching Cheng Jingzhe and Zhu Nao leave, Wu Cong turned and returned to the tent.

Xie Wuji was in the tent, he was not busy with anything, he just leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.His face was tired, and his eyes were black and blue.

He stayed up all night, listening to the intelligence that spies kept sending him.Until he heard that the Jiangling army had withdrawn and the rebels closed the city gate again, he never gave any order, but only told the soldiers to stand still.

But few people understand that sometimes, doing nothing is the most exhausting thing.

Wu Cong said in a low voice: "General, Governor Zhu and Jing Zhe have gone back."

Xie Wuji gave a low "hmm".

After a while, Wu Cong asked hesitantly, "General, are you okay?"

Xie Wuji finally opened his eyes and looked at him with a slight frown.After a while, he replied lightly: "It's okay."

Wu Cong glanced at the sundial.

Xie Wuji said: "It's time for you to go?"

Wu Cong nodded.At noon today, there is another meeting of King Qin to be held.It's just that with the changes last night, today's meeting must be extremely intense.

Xie Wuji said: "Go."

Wu Cong looked at Xie Wuji hesitantly.He wanted to say something, but it was really late, and if he didn't start, he would be late.So he bowed and said, "This subordinate will leave."

Xie Wuji waved his hand, signaling Wu Cong to go out.

When Wu Cong exited the tent and put down the curtain, and he was the only one left in the tent, he showed a slightly annoyed expression, first sighed annoyedly, then buried his face in his palm, and wiped it vigorously.

He felt something was getting out of hand.
