The queen is too black

Chapter 167 Surrounding Luyang Palace
Cheng Rui stepped into the big tent, bowed his knees and saluted: "See His Royal Highness, the Crown Princess."

"Get up!" Xiao Ce waved his hand.

Cheng Rui stood aside and saluted Tang Ning.

Although Cheng Rui didn't say much, Tang Ning saw something called admiration in his eyes.

Xiao Ce glanced at Cheng Rui and said, "Since the general has arrived, why did he stay outside the door and not enter?"

"With His Highness here, there is no difference between the last general and his absence!" Cheng Rui replied sincerely.

"When did General Cheng learn to compliment you?" Xiao Ce's eyes flashed with surprise.

The outspoken Cheng Rui suddenly said such words, Xiao Ce would inevitably be a little surprised.

"Sincerely, no compliment." Cheng Rui replied without the slightest hesitation.

Xiao Ce led Tang Ning to stand up, and said: "Since General Cheng is here, let me go to Luyang Palace with me."

"How does Your Highness deal with the little soldier who is good at taking food and grass?" Cheng Rui asked, then glared fiercely at Zhou Guang and cursed: "It has been said since ancient times: the three armies go first before moving food and grass. For a mere thousand taels of silver, you will kill thousands of people Warrior, you have made such a big mistake, even if you die, you will not be able to atone for your sin."

Zhou Guang knew he was wrong, so he didn't dare to say a word.

Moving food and grass is tantamount to hanging an extremely sharp knife over the heads of the soldiers.

He deserves to die, and he deserves death.

His sister is dead, so what's the point of his life.

Xiao Ce looked at the ashen-faced Zhou Guang and said: "For such a weak-willed person, let him die."

After finishing speaking, he let go of Tang Ning's hand, walked to Yuan Xiu's side, and whispered in a low voice: "Let him sign and draw a pledge to leave evidence. After he died, dig up the body and take out the rice grains for later use..."

"No!" Yuan Xiu replied immediately.

Although he didn't know His Highness's intention of doing this, he never doubted His Highness.

After Xiao Ce finished giving orders, he returned to Tang Ning's side, held her hand and said, "Let's go."

Curiosity flashed across Tang Ning's eyes, and she lowered her voice and asked, "What did Brother Ce whisper to Yuan Xiu just now?"

Xiao Ce felt guilty and touched his nose, saying: "It's nothing!"

What he said just now, no matter what, Ning'er must not let Ning'er know, he was afraid that she would have nightmares when she heard the word "autopsy".

"Forget it." Tang Ning said in a low voice, "Anyway, I don't really want to know."

A trace of helplessness flashed across Xiao Ce's eyes, and without explaining, he took her by the hand and stepped out of the camp, leading her to mount the horse together.

"Yuan Xiu, according to the plan, send a message to Lu Feng of Dongying Fang, asking him to lead people to surround the Luyang Palace, and no one should come near it." Xiao Ce ordered while riding on his horse.

"No!" Yuan Xiu took the order, took out the signal flare from his sleeve and lit it.

"Touch!" A cyan signal shot up into the sky and sounded in mid-air.

Seeing this, Xiao Ce led his people to the Luyang Palace outside the city, but this time he slowed down and walked with Cheng Rui.

Lei Ming knew he had made a mistake, and he was always on the lookout for a chance to make amends.

Xiao Ce saw Cheng Rui's small movements, but pretended not to see them, and let him follow behind him all the time.

Halfway through the journey, Cheng Rui finally couldn't suppress the doubts in his heart, and asked, "Your Highness has made arrangements a long time ago because he already knew that the people in Luyang Palace had malicious intentions."

Xiao Ce opened his mouth to explain his doubts: "What happened on the night of the New Year Banquet has spread all over Jinling City, and it is impossible for General Cheng not to know about it. I am afraid that the Luyang Palace will seek revenge, so I have been sending people to watch."

"Your Highness's clever calculations, it seems that this wild villager will do nothing." Cheng Rui laughed at himself, and he admired Xiao Ce even more in his heart.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already taken control of the overall situation, but he is worrying here alone.What a waste!

"It's just a coincidence!" Xiao Ce replied disapprovingly.

The fact that he sent someone to monitor the Luyang Prince's Mansion will not be brought to the fore after all, so it's good to talk about it in private.Don't spread it everywhere, lest the courtiers know that future generations will be panicked and resentful.

Seeing that Xiao Ce's answer was extremely perfunctory, Cheng Rui didn't say much.

Although he is a rough man who can only fight, he also knows that the situation in the court is treacherous and dangerous.

Don't talk nonsense!
When Tang Ning heard him say that he had been sending people to watch Luyang Palace, she instantly smiled like a flower.Her brother Ce is always protecting her in his own way.

Xiao Ce didn't see her smile, but he knew she did!

He hugged her even tighter, and said close to her ear: "When you arrive at Luyang Prince's Mansion, stay by my side and don't leave for half a step."

It is his own fault that the Luyang Palace has come to this day. Today is the opportunity to completely eradicate the Luyang Palace. He is afraid that the Luyang King will jump over the wall in a hurry.

Cheng Rui is not here today, so he will take her by his side to take good care of her and protect her.

Tang Ning nodded, and whispered back: "Yes!"

When Xiao Ce led people to the Luyang Palace, Lu Feng had already surrounded the Luyang Palace.

King Luyang and Princess Luyang wanted to break through the siege several times but he blocked them.

King Luyang was defeated several times, and became angry and even threatened to sue him for abusing his power.

He is the prince's soldier, he will strike wherever the prince's sword points, ordinary people can't threaten him, and they can't threaten him either.

He had also heard about the New Year's banquet. Lu Feng did not have the slightest affection for King Luyang after raising such a shameless daughter.

Xiao Ce led Cheng Rui into the gate of Luyang Prince's Mansion openly.

When the King of Luyang saw it, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "How dare you secretly mobilize the patrol battalion to besiege the Luyang Palace, how courageous are you?"

Lu Feng did not issue a document to encircle Luyang Palace, and did not state that the reason why he sent troops to encircle the palace must be to mobilize troops privately.

"It is a capital offense to mobilize soldiers and horses without authorization!" Princess Lu Yang threatened after accepting King Lu Yang's words.

Xiao Ce didn't take it seriously, and retorted: "It's already a capital crime for you to tamper with military supplies, yet you dare to question the king with certainty?"

After finishing speaking, Xiao Ce threw Zhou Guang's testimony just now at King Luyang.

The paper was thin and weightless, Xiao Ce urged his internal force to throw the paper towards King Luyang like a sharp weapon.

King Luyang also went to the battlefield when he was young. Although he hadn't fought for many years, he still had the foundation. He urged his internal force to stop the paper flying towards him.Then read it.

This look nearly killed him.

The confession actually said that he was someone from Luyang Palace who asked a soldier to prescribe medicine in the grain and grass camp at the price of 1000 taels of silver...

He casually threw the confession on the ground, and retorted: "If you want to commit a crime, there is no excuse. With a testimony from nowhere, you mobilize troops without authorization. You are the one who cannot be pardoned and deserves to be punished."

Unexpectedly, there was a sharp pain in the palm of his hand, and he bowed his head only to find that a long cut had been cut in his hand, and blood was slowly oozing and dripping everywhere.

Xiao Ce raised his lips and explained disdainfully: "The patrol battalion has long been handed over to me to be in full charge, and today my king will slaughter you who are good at moving food and provoking military regulations, and no one dares to say no. "

"You are the prince of a dynasty, do you dare to disregard human life?" Princess Lu Yang asked while holding King Lu Yang's hand.
