Lord Hou, you have been flopped again

Chapter 241 The Strange City Tower

Di Yan stayed in the Qin Mansion for five days, and except for seeing Qin Yu who was veiled on the first day, she never saw him again after that.

When asked, Mrs. Song said that the rash on Qin Yu's body was getting worse and worse. She was afraid that some bad disease would affect him, so she decided to live elsewhere for treatment.

This trip lasted for several days, until now Di Yan has never seen him again.

Mrs. Song shook her head and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern. My granddaughter's health is somewhat better, but the rash on her face still hasn't faded, and it's inconvenient to walk around, so she hasn't returned home yet."

Di Yan paused.He knew that the current military affairs were important, but before leaving, he wanted to see if the woman's appearance was similar to Qin Qi, so he asked.

I asked Wei Ying to come here to check before, and I also saw the portraits of young women in Qin's mansion, and none of them were too similar to Qin Qi.Only this Qin Yu's appearance was something that Di Yan had never seen before, so he was unavoidably curious.

Pursing her thin lips, Di Yan turned around and rode away without asking any more questions.

Marching overnight, by the evening of the sixth day, the army led by Di Yan had arrived at the gate of Zhucheng.

Staring at the closed door ahead, Di Yan narrowed her cold eyes and raised her hand.

Seeing the order issued by the prince, the artillerymen took their positions first and aimed the cannon barrel at the tower of Zhucheng.

The archers followed, all with gauze soaked in kerosene wrapped around their arrows.

Then came the cavalry, who rushed in as soon as the city tower was breached, trying to capture the city in the shortest time and take the head of Zhao Liang.

It's just that at this time, the tower of Zhucheng looks a little weird, and there is no one guarding it.

Looking at the strange city tower, Di Yan paused and did not give an attack command.

"His Royal Highness," Wei Ying naturally noticed it, and asked Di Yan, "This Zhucheng is so weird, is there a fraud? Maybe even General Gong..."

Before Wei Ying finished speaking, Di Yan glanced at him with a stern expression.

Di Yan knew what Wei Ying was guessing.Gong Zexuan had a personal relationship with Zhao Liang, and in order to save Zhao Liang, he left his post and left the northern border without permission.

It was Gong Zexuan who asked him to give five days to persuade Zhao Liang.

But five days later, Gong Zexuan did not send any news.At the bottom of the city gate, it is also such a strange scene.

Could it be that Gong Zexuan had already colluded with Zhao Liang and used these five days to set up a trap here, just waiting for them to throw themselves into the trap?

Although it is not impossible, Di Yan does not believe it.

Don't use the suspect, but don't use it.

To be an emperor, if he doesn't even have this vision of seeing people, how will he govern the world in the future.

Seeing Di Yan's expression, Wei Ying knew he had said something wrong, so he didn't continue.

To doubt Gong Zexuan at this time is to doubt the crown prince, he really shouldn't speculate on his own.

However, how to explain the situation in Zhucheng in front of me?
Di Yan paused, beckoned in exchange for a soldier, and signaled him to go downstairs to speak out.

The soldiers came to the gate of the city and shouted loudly: "General Zhao! You have served the imperial court, and you are loyal. If you are willing to surrender today and save the innocent people in the city from suffering, His Royal Highness will spare you!"

"General Zhao, did you hear that?"

Not long after the words fell, the originally closed city gate slowly opened.

The night is gradually falling, and the light is a little dim.Under the light of the torches, someone could be seen walking out of it, but they couldn't see clearly.

Thinking that they were soldiers coming to fight, Wei Ying waved his hands to get the archers in front ready.

However, they didn't hear the opponent's hoofbeats, nor did they hear the opponent's shouts and drums when they faced the battle. There were only three people who walked out of the city gate.
