Chapter 326: The Second Prince

When the news that the Liangshan Navy Army successfully seized fifty ships reached Ximen Qing's ears, it was already the next morning. At this time, Ximen Qing was gathering with Wu Yong and other leaders in the Central Army camp to listen to Dai Zong's detailed description of the capture.

Dai Zong not only ran fast, but also opened his mouth extremely quickly. His remarks were colorful, as if they were immersive. He heard the cheers and congratulations to the men of Liangshan.

After Dai Zong finished his talk, Ximen Qingcai laughed and said excitedly: "I have fifty large ships in Liangshan, which are like a tiger with wings! Now Liangshan's defense has begun to take shape. When the artillery defense is successfully resettled, then the rivers of Liangshan are like iron walls. Who dares to attack us?"

"The commander is right. At this time, our Liangshan has begun to show its fangs!" Wu Yong shouted.

Ximen Qing nodded and then said, "If you have merits, you will be rewarded! Dai Zong, you will go to Liangshan again and pass on a message to the leaders of the eight major naval armies of Liangshan, saying that when I return to Liangshan, I will hold a celebration banquet for them to discuss merits and reward them. At that time, their naval armies will be the protagonist of my Liangshan!"

"Subordinate to obey the order!" Dai Zong replied, then withdrew from the tent.

At this time, the hearts of the others in the hall were itchy, and they also wanted to have their own celebration banquet.

Then he heard Li Kui say, "Commander, our Bear Camp performed well last time when we went to the battle, so there was no celebration banquet!"

"That's right! That's right!" Lu Zhishen and Li Kui are in the same camp and are also eager.

Ximen Qing laughed and said, "Okay, don't be jealous. When Yang Bufeng is eliminated, I promise to hold a celebration banquet for you. You are all heroes of Liangshan by then! Okay!"

"It's almost the same!" Li Kui laughed, then rolled up his sleeves, showed his arms, and shouted: "Commander, what are you waiting for? I think it's better to lead the troops to kill them directly. Capture Yang Bufeng and destroy the enemy. We can also go back to Liangshan to drink and celebrate!"

"You foodie! Just thinking about eating!" Ximen Qing cursed with a smile.

Then he looked at the others and said, "Our army has only more than 20,000 people. If we attack for a strong force, we will definitely not be able to defeat the enemy's 40,000 troops. So we must wait and wait for the good time to come. Just be careful not to be impatient!"

Ximen Qing said this, and it was difficult for others to refute it. He could only suppress the anxiety in his heart and wait for the complete outbreak when the war came.

When everyone left the camp, only Ximen Qing and Wu Yong were left. Ximen Qing rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Scholar, why do you think Zhu Wu is so slow? Now the enemy is filled with a sad mood, and the morale of the army is severely dispersed. If Zhang Qing instigates the rebellion, it will be easy. I am afraid that if I wait too long, the enemy will withdraw its troops on their own initiative! After all, the news of the warship being seized will soon be spread to the enemy camp!"

Wu Yong comforted: "Don't worry, I believe that Brother Zhu Wu is already taking action, let's wait!"

"That's all!" Ximen Qing said.

Ximen Qing didn't know that Zhu Wu was indeed in great trouble in Dongchang Mansion.

The Yang family was almost wiped out, and the entire Dongchang Prefecture was strictly guarded, which made it difficult for Zhu Wu to act. Although he had a plan now, he lacked the opportunity to act. Therefore, he kept waiting for that opportunity to arrive.

Two more days passed.

The enemy will not fight, and the Liangshan army can only stay in the military camp.

At this time, in the enemy camp, Yang Bufeng was wearing a mourning suit and knelt in a temporary mourning hall to guard the spirit.

These days he had almost no food and drink. He was so haggard that he seemed to faint at any time. The generals in front of the camp looked at each other, but they didn't dare to come forward to persuade him. Finally, he could only sigh and leave.

At this time, in Zhang Qing's tent, Zhang Qingzheng was sitting leisurely on the chair, eating peanuts and drinking wine, and was so happy.

When Zhang Qing learned that the Yang family had been almost destroyed, he was stunned for a while. Then he was overjoyed and mocked: "You dare to imprison my family, look, retribution is coming! When my family rescues Dongchang Mansion, hum, you will have to go to hell to accompany your mother!"

As he thought about it, Zhang Qing was happy to hum the song.

But at this moment, someone suddenly rushed in outside the tent.

This is a strong man nearly two meters tall, with dark skin, looking similar to Li Kui, and he is definitely a first-class general.

"Brother Zhang Qing, something big happened!" As soon as the strong man entered the camp, he shouted at Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing put down his legs and patted the chair next to him casually, then smiled and said, "Xiaowei, calm, be calm, what big thing happened? Is Yang Bufeng dead?"

Zhang Wei snorted: "If that guy dies, I will come in and notify you by beating gongs and gongs!"

Zhang Wei is Zhang Qing's cousin and the bravest cavalry captain whom Zhang Qing sat down.

"What happened?" Zhang Qing asked.

Zhang Wei hurriedly said: "The fifty warships sent by the imperial court have been stolen by the Liangshan bandits!"

"What?" Zhang Qing stood up with a slight smile and said, "Damn, it's so good, haha..."

Zhang Wei was stunned, scratched his head, and asked, "Brother, the thief army stole our warship. Should we be angry?"

Zhang Qing glared at Zhang Wei, then frowned, and asked quickly: "Where did you learn this news?"

"The court sent someone to inform me, and I happened to meet the sender, so I took it over and gave it to me, this is the official document!" Zhang Wei said, and then took out a official document from his arms.

Zhang Qing quickly opened and browsed the document and found that the document was written by Yang Jian to Yang Bufeng.

Yang Jian also learned about the destruction of the Yang family, and he was extremely angry. In addition, the warship was robbed, so he wrote a letter asking Yang Bufeng to withdraw his troops and return to Dongchang Prefecture to take charge, and encircle and fight the Liangshan bandits. Naturally, the court would handle the matter.

After reading the official document, Zhang Qing burned it with fire and asked Zhang Wei, "Does anyone else know about the robbery of the warship?"

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. The sender gave me the official documents and left! I will come to you quickly after getting the official documents!"

Zhang Qing said: "That's good!"

After saying that, Zhang Qing sneered coldly, thinking in his heart, wanting Yang Bufeng to withdraw his troops? Joke! Let's wait and see!

"Awei, I want to tell you a big thing. You have to be clear about it. Don't reveal it. This is a big thing that concerns your life!"

"Brother, you said!"

"Brother is preparing to rebel and take the soldiers to Liangshan!"

"ah?"

In the Imperial City of Tokyo, in the Privy Council.

Gao Qiu, Yang Jian and Cai Jing gathered in a secret room to discuss.

Gao Qiu is in his fifties and looks a little funny. Although he is old, his eyes are still rolling. Although he is wearing gorgeous silk, he still looks a bit unlucky. He has been in the officialdom for decades, but he has not taken off his ruffian spirit. It seems that Gao Qiu is born to be a villain.

Yang Jian is a sissy. As a eunuch, he has long lost his roots as a man. His words and deeds are the behavior of an old monster. He teased the orchid fingers, and his body exuded a rouge smell, which was so disgusting.

Compared to Gao Qiu and Yang Jian, Cai Jing's appearance is quite imposing. He is wearing a literati uniform, looking gentle and elegant, with his eyes restrained and charming, and is deeply envious. Experience in the officialdom has long allowed you to develop the aura of a superior, and this aura is envied by Gao Qiu.

"Call you here today to talk to you about the issue of Liangshan. Yesterday, a spy came to report that the fifty ships sent had been robbed by Liangshan bandits. I have not sent this message to Your Majesty, but I want to hear your ideas first. I must not let you go with this opportunity this time. I must convince Your Majesty to send troops to encircle Liangshan!" Gao Qiu said first.

"That's right! Everyone in Liangshan must die, must die!" Yang Jian's sharp voice rang and roared.

Ximen Qing killed several of Yang Jian's godsons, and now he has almost killed his Yang family relatives. How can Yang Jian not be angry?

At this time, Cai Jing also said: "The rebellion in Liangshan must be eliminated. Last time, Tong Guan and the Third Highness pleaded for Liangshan, so the emperor did not make a big move to send troops to attack Liangshan. Now Liangshan has seized the imperial warship, which is just a good opportunity! This time, it is necessary to convince the emperor to send troops to attack! Lao Yang, you can solve Tong Guan. Lao Gao and I will persuade the Third Highness and the Fourth Highness!"

"Okay, no problem!" Gao Qiu and Yang Jian nodded and responded.

Then, Gao Qiu asked again: "If you send troops to encircle and suppress the enemy, who do you think you will send? How many soldiers are reliable?"

Cai Jing said: "By the way, Qingzhou is closer to Liangshan. I think it's time to send Qin Ming, the commander of Qingzhou, to attack. Qin Ming has always been just, and the one he doesn't like is the rioters and traitors. If he goes there, he will definitely be able to break Liangshan. As for how many soldiers, I think it will cost at least 80,000!"

"The Grand Master's words are reasonable! Then I will write a memorial quickly and submit it to Your Majesty!" Gao Qiu said with a smile.

"By the way, Taiwei, where is the second prince? Have you seen it these days?" Cai Jing frowned and asked.

Gao Qiu was stunned, then shook his head and said, "The second prince is elusive and has gone without a trace. I don't know where he has gone. All three of us are doing things for the Second Prince. It's better not to know some things!"

Yang Jian replied: "That's right, that's right, there are some things that shouldn't be asked!"

Cai Jing said: "I naturally know this. But recently, I saw the Third Highness and the Fourth Highness were a little ready to move. It seemed that I had colluded with the Minister of War and the Minister of Rites, and asked him to write to the emperor to enthrone the crown prince, so I asked the Second Highness about his whereabouts!"

Gao Qiu and Yang Jian both nodded, and Yang Jian said, "When I served the emperor, I did hear the emperor mention this matter! However, the emperor's words were flickering, and I couldn't understand it."

At this moment, a ghost sound suddenly sounded in the secret room:

"Okay, this is not what you should ask! Just do your own thing!"

Suddenly, Gao Qiu and the other two stood up in fear, then looked at each other, then knelt down, and said in unison: "Welcome to the Second Highness!"

After saying that, the three of them were still scared!

The secret room they lived in was the most mysterious place in the Privy Council. There were also great internal masters outside to protect them, and it was not easy to break in, let alone silently. If this were an assassin, wouldn’t the lives of the three of them be in danger?

"Get up!"

At this time, the Second Prince's voice sounded again. His voice was very light and light, but there was an order that could not be resisted.

Gao Qiu and the other two dared not refute, so they quickly stood up.

Then the three of them looked up slightly and immediately saw a figure sitting there not far away in the darkness. Because the environment was dim and they couldn't see their appearance clearly, the three of them knew that it was the Second Highness!

"Sit down, I have something to tell you!" The second highman waved his hand and said.
