He doesn't dare to expose it now, but he can take advantage of the fact that other countries have not exposed it, pretend that they don't know, and deal with the so-called wise king.
The emperor thought about this and said seriously, "In this case, let's send someone to Jingcheng to negotiate with King Ming to see if we can get the Wu Kingdom delegation to come. Who do you think is the most suitable person to go?"
When the eldest prince heard this, he immediately spoke up, "Father, I think that Marquis Changqing is more suitable. He was able to successfully capture Emperor Wu this time, so he is obviously more familiar with the place. It would be most appropriate for him to go."
The second prince hesitated for a moment, then quickly said, "Father, I also think that the Marquis of Changqing is the best candidate."
When Concubine Chu, who was sitting next to Emperor An, heard this, she looked at Marquis of Changqing Li Tongguang with some concern. She felt that the Ming army's territory was not so easy to enter.
Although she felt a little sad that Emperor An married her niece to Li Tongguang, she also knew that it was an intentional arrangement made by Emperor An for the sake of checks and balances, so she didn't care much about it.
She had already fallen hopelessly in love with Li Tongguang, so even though she knew that it was impossible for them to be together, Li Tongguang still used her, and she couldn't control her heart.
When she heard Emperor An's arrangement, she was very worried, but she also knew that this was not the time to speak, so she could only find an opportunity to speak well of Li Tongguang.
When Emperor An heard everyone's suggestion, he didn't want to give Li Tongguang any time to consider it. He looked at Li Tongguang and asked, "Marquis Changqing, what do you think?"
Li Tongguang was the son of Emperor An's sister. He was married to a neighboring country as the Crown Princess. However, Emperor An suddenly launched a war, and the neighboring country wanted to kill the Crown Princess to vent its anger.
Fortunately, a musician from Wu State helped, which enabled the Crown Princess to escape and successfully flee back to An State. Unfortunately, the Crown Princess was already pregnant with the musician's child at that time.
Therefore, Li Tongguang's identity was very embarrassing. His mother loved him but also wanted to distance herself from him. In the end, he was taken care of by Empress Zhaojie.
But the Queen knew that she had arranged for several masters to teach him, but they had all been driven away by him. There was really nothing the Queen could do, so she asked Ruyi to teach him. If he was disobedient, Ruyi would beat him until he became obedient, which made Ruyi respect her very much.
After growing up in such a special environment, he became very dark and cruel, and liked to use any means to achieve his goals.
Because of this, although he always has the most charming smile, he also does the most cruel things, which is why he uses his sex appeal to seduce the imperial concubine.
He also felt Concubine Chu's gaze, but he knew that he couldn't let anyone notice it at this time, so he said respectfully, "Tongguang is your Majesty's nephew. What does your Majesty want me to do? Of course, Tongguang did it without hesitation."
After hearing what Li Tongguang said, Concubine Chu became even more worried, but the eldest and second princes seemed to be gloating.
Emperor An was very satisfied with Li Tongguang's reaction, so he smiled and said, "Then I will appoint Tongguang as the envoy to take full charge of receiving the Wu Kingdom delegation. Tongguang must ensure that the delegation enters An Kingdom safely."
Li Tongguang felt Emperor An's vicious eyes, and he knew in his heart that if he failed to complete the task this time, he would be in trouble.
But he remained calm and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty. I will do my best to complete the task.
However, I beg Your Majesty to ask the Red Guards to send someone to help me. Otherwise, the humiliation of my life and death is a minor matter, but the failure to complete your Majesty's entrustment is a major matter."
Emperor An also knew that this matter was somewhat embarrassing for Li Tongguang, but he didn't mind it. He was just afraid that it would really delay important matters, so he frowned and said, "Marquis Changqing is right, but it is not convenient to mobilize the army now.
Deng Hui, you will temporarily follow the orders of Marquis Changqing. The two of you should work together to ensure that the Wu Kingdom delegation arrives in Anguo smoothly."
Although Deng Hui had known about this for a long time and that he could not escape it, he was still quite depressed when it was really put on him.
But at this time he could only say respectfully, "Your Majesty, obey your order!"
……
Jingcheng, Jinsha Tower
Yu Shisan ran out of the Jinsha Building in a panic, saying as he ran, "Mei Niang! It was really a misunderstanding back then!"
Jin Mei Niang chased out from behind and said angrily, "After I catch you, you can explain it to me slowly!"
As she said this, she called a few gang members and went with him to chase Yu Shisan.
Yu Shisan's martial arts skills were also strong, so he was not caught up immediately. The group chased him all the way to the outside of the city lord's mansion wall, where he blocked Jin Meiniang.
Jin Meiniang has now surrendered to Wang Yue. Knowing that Wang Yue is not in the city, she doesn't care whether there is anyone in the City Lord's Mansion. She snorted coldly and said, "I am a member of the Ming army now. This entire Jingcheng is our territory. Where can you run to?"
Yu Shisan groaned in his heart. He didn't expect that he just went to Jinshalou to pick up girls, but he met this tigress. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Mei Niang, you misunderstood, you really misunderstood."
Jin Meiniang and several of her men surrounded Yu Shisan and were no longer afraid that he would run away, so they felt relieved.
She looked at Yu Shisan with a half-smile and said, "Come on, make up a story for me. I want to see what excuse you can come up with."
Upon hearing this, Yu Shisan quickly said, "I really just felt sorry for you back then, and was afraid that you would hurt your appearance and commit suicide. I admit that I meant to deceive you, but my original intention was also good."
Jin Mei Niang sneered and said unhappily, "Who said he wanted to marry me? But he ran away in the blink of an eye, and you say it again now?"
Yu Shisan knew he couldn't avoid it, and he had to explain it clearly this time, so he bit the bullet and said in a flattering way, "Mei Niang, I really liked you a little at that time, but you also know how you looked at that time, you can't keep your makeup on, right?
I'm really sad about that, do you have any way to restore your appearance? I admit that I have a face control, I'm sorry!"
Chapter 247 The power of the people!
Although Jin Mei Niang already knew why Yu Shisan left, she was still very annoyed after hearing what Yu Shisan said, "You can just refuse, and I won't force you, but why did you just run away?"
Seeing that Jin Meiniang's words had softened, Yu Shisan said a little embarrassedly, "First, I was really afraid of being entangled by you at that time, and second, I really had something to do and had to rush back to Wu Country. Really, I'm not lying to you, you can go ask Ningtou."
Jin Mei Niang just wanted a result. After hearing this, she snorted coldly and said unhappily, "I, Jin Mei Niang, am not the kind of person who forces others, but thank you for not staying at that time. This allowed me to meet my man and give me everything I have now.
But you also hurt my heart, so let's break off our relationship and have nothing to do with each other. Don't let me get you in my hands in the future! Otherwise, I will castrate you!"
After she finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to leave, without any intention of staying.
Yu Shisan saw that Jin Meiniang was about to leave. He was about to take the opportunity to return to the City Lord's Mansion, but he saw some sneaky shadows in the distance.
He quickly said, "Mei Niang, wait!"
Jin Mei Niang couldn't help but stop, turned around and slapped Yu Shisan in the face, snorted coldly and said, "You called me Mei Niang too? Call me Gang Leader Jin!"
Yu Shisan covered his face like a punching bag, finding it unbelievable that a woman actually hit him!
It took him a while to react, and then he thought of the main thing. He said depressedly, "Boss Jin, I just saw a few suspicious people wandering around. I'm worried that they are eyeing the gold, so you'd better notify Miss Ruyi as soon as possible."
Gang Leader Jin was stunned for a moment, then he snorted and said, "Be careful with your words next time! Thank you for the information this time!"
After she finished speaking, she said to several of her subordinates, "Go and notify all the spies in Jingcheng to investigate all the suspicious persons for me."
"Yes!"
After receiving the order, several women hurriedly responded and turned to go in different directions.
After Boss Jin made all the arrangements, she turned around and left. Although she felt that she could do it herself, she still needed to inform Ruyi.
……
He County, Military Camp
After Wang Yue received the news from Wang Dalong, he was a little surprised and said, "What? What if they caught a few people from Wu Country?"
Wang Dalong nodded quickly and said solemnly, "Yes, Sister Ruyi said that they were sent by the King of Danyang, and they have many accomplices outside the city. Sister Ruyi asked me to ask the king what to do?"
Wang Yue knew what Ruyi meant. It was really hard to catch her hiding outside. He hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's easy. Ask Sister Ruyi to inform all the village heads below and tell them that someone from Wu State has been sent to inquire about the situation and wants to find a chance to take back Jingcheng. Ask them to help find her."
Wang Dalong immediately understood what Wang Yue meant. He wanted to rely on the villagers to help catch these people. He hesitated for a moment and asked in confusion, "Why don't you say they are from Anguo? Anguo imposed heavy taxes on them. Shouldn't they hate the Anguo people even more?"
Wang Yue sighed and said helplessly, "This time, in order to fight against An Guo, Emperor Wu captured all males over 16 years old in the nearby cities. Although many males escaped after the defeat, many were captured and even more died.
You said, how much the local people will hate Wuguo. If you say Anguo, they may just be alert. If you say Wuguo, the people may take the initiative to help find it. "
After listening to Wang Yue's words, Wang Dalong felt that they made a lot of sense, so he immediately took the order and went to Jingcheng to inform Ruyi.
Ruyi was also confused when she heard Wang Yue's suggestion. After asking Wang Dalong, she knew why.
Although she was a little skeptical, she still did as Wang Yue suggested.
What he didn't expect was that after they passed the message down, it only took two days for them to get news about a lot of suspicious people. The speed was so fast that even Dalong was a little stunned.
Ruyi took the opportunity to capture a group of people, but there were still many that were difficult to deal with, so she came to the military camp and prepared to send the army to encircle and suppress them.
After seeing Wang Yue, he did not bring up the business right away. Instead, he said with great admiration, "Ayue, you know what, the common people are the best spies. They not only helped us find the people of King Danyang of Wu State, but also found many bad guys and Zhuyi Guards. They are really amazing."
Wang Yue didn't expect Ruyi to come over, so he asked curiously, "Isn't this a good thing? Why did you come over here when you weren't busy catching people?"
Seeing that Wang Yue was not surprised, Ruyi knew that Wang Yue had an idea in mind. She said with some depression, "These people are too strong. If we only rely on our intelligence personnel, we may suffer great losses."
Wang Yue understood what Ruyi meant after hearing what she said. He hesitated for a moment and said, "In that case, then you can find Qian Zhao and ask him to bring the cavalry to help."
Ruyi didn't expect that Wang Yue had so many options, but he specifically asked Qian Zhao to go over. She asked in confusion, "Why him? He is originally from Wu country. What if he doesn't concentrate on his work?"
Wang Yue sighed and said helplessly, "I know what you are worried about. In fact, I just want Qian Zhao and some soldiers of Wu State to understand what their original royal family is like. After they see the true face of the royal family, they may work for me wholeheartedly."
After hearing Wang Yue’s explanation, Ruyi understood the purpose of Wang Yue’s arrangement. Wasn’t it just to make these people give up?
Because now Wang Yue needs to recruit local soldiers and mix them with the surrendered soldiers, on the one hand to train the new recruits faster, and on the other hand to monitor the old soldiers.
Such a complex team could collapse if one operation is not done properly, which is really too dangerous.
Seeing that Wang Yue's arrangements were very good, Ruyi immediately took people to find Qian Zhao, and asked Qian Zhao to take three thousand people with her to encircle and eliminate several groups of suspicious people.
Qian Zhao didn't think much about it at first, but after he captured a group of Zhuyiwei and the Bad People in succession and Ruyi showed no intention of withdrawing his troops, he finally understood what was going on.
As he expected, he saw a familiar person among the group of people they surrounded.
Qian Zhao said to someone in the crowd in disbelief, "Yang Qingyun, why are you here?"
When Yang Qingyun was surrounded, he thought he was dead. After hearing Qian Zhao's words, he hurriedly said, "Brother Qian, we are just passing by here. This is all a misunderstanding! Come and save me!"
Ruyi snorted coldly and said with disdain, "The people you sent out have already said that you came here for the princess and the gold! How dare you lie!"
Zheng Qingyun was stunned for a moment. He never expected that those people who entered the city were arrested. He said unwillingly, "Brother Qian, I'm just here to find the princess. I just arrived here too. I don't know what's going on with them!"
Ruyi didn't waste any time talking to him. She waved her hand and said indifferently, "Wait a minute and hear what your partner has to say."
As soon as she finished speaking, a team of a hundred Jinyiwei came over. These people were all holding embroidered spring swords and wearing flying dragon robes.
Every four of them carried one person, and they carried more than twenty people in this way. They walked to the side of the encirclement and threw the twenty or so people heavily to the ground.
When Qian Zhao saw that there were people from the Yulin Guard among these people, he had already thought of a fact, which made him very angry.
What he hated most were the Zhuyi Guards, followed by betrayers. His younger brother Chai Ming died because of this war, and one of the reasons for losing this war was betrayal.
He shouted angrily, "Zheng Qingyun, if you don't tell the truth, I can forgive you, but the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will not forgive you!"
Qian Zhaoke was not joking. The soldiers behind him were all captured by An Guo. They were all people who had escaped death, so they knew the direction of this war best.
If Liudaotang had not been destroyed and some people had not colluded with the enemy, Wuguo would not have lost so badly, and they would not have been captured as prisoners and miserably tortured by the people of Anguo.
So, after they found out that the people who came to cause trouble were actually the Yulin Guards from Wudu, they all wanted to tear them into pieces.
At this time, Ruyi said to those people who were carried by the Jinyiwei earlier, "Now tell me the reason for your coming here loudly, and I can punish you with hard labor but spare your life!"
Those who were carried here were already miserable and exhausted, but after hearing this, they tried their best to speak and began to explain the reason for their visit.
"We are here on the orders of King Danyang!"
"Yes, we are here to take away the gold!"
"..."
Along with the heart-wrenching shouts of these people, Qian Zhao became more angry, and the soldiers behind him became more murderous.
Zheng Qingyun and other Yulin guards who were surrounded were also very frightened. They could feel that these people really wanted to kill them.
Although the Yulin Guards are highly skilled in martial arts, they all come from noble families and have never really experienced life and death.
At this moment, they were threatened by these soldiers who had returned from the battlefield covered in blood, and they were all terrified.
They couldn't help it, so one of them knelt down and said, "General, we are here on the orders of King Danyang. If we don't come, we will die."
Once one person started, the others immediately followed suit, vying to say,
"Yes, we are just following orders! We didn't want to come either!"
"Sir, we really are following orders!"
"Sir, spare my life~!"
"..."
Chapter 248: Winning over Qian Zhao!
When Zheng Qingyun saw that the others had already admitted it, his face suddenly turned extremely pale. He knew that it was no longer possible to make amends.
At this point, he could no longer care about so many things, so he said in a timid tone, "Qian Zhao, you'd better let me go. I am the sweetheart of Princess Qingyang. If I die, she will definitely help me get revenge."
After hearing this, Qian Zhao snorted coldly and said, "It seems that your plan is to take the princess away. If you come here generously, maybe I will help you to plead for mercy, but if you do this, you are courting death, so don't blame me for not saving you.
The soldiers behind me all had their fathers and brothers die on the battlefield, and their homes are all in several nearby states and counties.
Once you take the gold away and completely destroy An Di's hopes, he will definitely come back. You are preparing to destroy their lives again."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left without calling the soldiers who followed him. His intention was very obvious.
Ruyi was very satisfied with Qian Zhao's reaction. She followed with a smile, leaving only the angry soldiers behind, and slashed at the Yulin Guards who were surrounded.
