military camp

"How are things arranged?" King Yu sat in a high position, looking at the generals standing around with their heads bowed slightly, as well as the blood stains on the ground that had not yet been cleaned up. The coldness and cruelty in his eyes were different from what he usually showed.

The appearance of Corporal Li Xian's Xian Wang is completely different.

It was already time to do something like rebellion, and he really couldn't be bothered to pretend anymore.

"Report to Your Highness!" The general standing in the first place came out and said:

"According to His Highness's instructions, 10,000 people were left behind to block the way back. The remaining 40,000 are ready to go."

"Okay! We will set out tomorrow to rescue His Majesty, Qing Jun." King Yu nodded.

"I will obey His Highness's order!" the generals replied.

【Leave tonight, don’t delay.】

"Huh?" A voice came from King Yu's ears. He frowned in confusion, looked around and asked:

"Can you hear anyone talking?"

"Not yet!" the general standing in the first row replied:

"Your Highness, you have been a little tired recently. You will be leaving tomorrow. Please take a good rest and recuperate your health."

"Okay! You should step back first!" King Yu waved his hand, urging them to leave quickly.

When the generals saw this, they all left.

King Yu held his head with his hands and touched his eyes. The things he had dealt with in the past few days had really made his brain unable to keep up.

【Leave tonight, don’t delay】

The sound rang in King Yu's ears again. He opened his eyes in a daze. For some reason, he always felt that the sound could not be rejected. He did not even feel that the sound was unreasonable.

King Yu was a little late, stood up suddenly, walked out of the tent and shouted loudly:

"Xu Anmo!!"

"What's the matter, Your Highness?" Xu Anmo quickly walked out of the tent on the side.

"Prepare the troops and set off now." King Yu shouted loudly with sharp eyes.

"Your Highness, aren't you going to rest?" Xu Anmo didn't know what Prince Yu was up to, but since he had agreed to rebel with him, he naturally had to correct his attitude.

For the sake of future glory and wealth, what does it mean to have a correct attitude?

"Why rest? Now we set off overnight."

"yes!"

Morning of the second day

With a dull and majestic sound of drums and horns, the hunting ceremony began.

The emperor took the bow and sword, stretched his old and bloated body to draw the bow string, and fired the sword that started the ceremony.

There were cheers and celebrations all around.

Xiao Jingyang was riding a white horse and ranked last among the princes. For some reason, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Today, I feel groggy and depressed all the time.

A group of royal nobles led the soldiers and rushed into the forest in front of them.

Shen Hanyue stood quietly beside Mei Changsu, as if she could only see where Xiao Jingyang was.

Mei Changsu looked up, smiled and shook his head.

"The friendship between boys and girls! It's something that people can't figure out."

Yan Yujin didn't want to get involved in hunting. He just came to relax with Mei Changsu.

After hearing these words that seemed to be eating melons, he focused his attention on the girl beside him.

"Sir..." Shen Hanyue suddenly heard the meaning, her face turned red, and she didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.

"It doesn't matter! Jingyang and I are close friends. I am older than him and can be considered his elder brother." Mei Changsu said with a smile:

"Since he asked me to take good care of you, I will naturally do it."

"You don't have to worry too much."

"To be honest, this is the first time we have met." Yan Yujin was used to being careless, but he still had to follow the proper etiquette.

He smiled and bowed his hands.

"I would like to say that Yujin is also a close friend of Jingyang."

Shen Hanyue blushed and saluted the two of them.

The social atmosphere in Daliang is not as outrageous as it was in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and there is no such thing as an unmarried woman not being able to go out normally.

After all, the existence of an iron-blooded princess like Mu Nihuang further confirms this point.

Xiao Jingyang looked towards where the three of them were, smiled and nodded.

As for who he was smiling at, I don't know.

Not long after the ceremony began, a disgraced Zhen Ping, wearing armor, found Mei Changsu.

after hunting

"What? He really dares to do this?" Meng Zhi said with a surprised look on his face.

"Xu Anmo." Mei Changsu murmured, reciting the name.

"What happened?" Prince Jing, wearing armor, opened the tent door and walked in quickly.

"King Yu rebelled. General Xu Anmo gathered 50,000 rebels and came towards the hunting palace." Zhen Ping saluted quickly and said.

"How dare he do such a rebellious and unethical thing?" King Jing was also a little surprised. He never thought that King Yu would embark on the path of rebellion.

"It doesn't matter! We have already prepared the response in advance. The arrival of the army will eventually consume a lot of material resources and time." Mei Changsu said:

"This is enough for us to be prepared, but the problem is..."

"The question is how to make His Majesty believe all this." Prince Jing frowned and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

"If you want your Majesty to believe it, you have to wait until King Yu attacks the sentry and the sentry comes to report."

"The Commander-in-Chief of Mongolia has increased the scope of sentry posts. Once the most marginal sentry posts discover problems, they will report them immediately," Mei Changsu said.

"Huh?" This wave of remarks made Prince Jing feel a little less confident.

"Extend the sentry? Be prepared? Do you know that King Yu is going to rebel?"

Mei Changsu: "We don't know."

"I just think that Xia Jiang will never give up, and the only chance for the defense of the capital to be empty is this spring hunting in March."

"The main reason is that I am afraid that King Yu and Xia Jiang will jump over the wall in a hurry. If they really do something like this, I can prepare a response in advance."

"Once something goes wrong at the sentry post, you have to go out and search for rescue immediately."

Jamel Xiao clenched the hilt of his sword and said seriously:

"Everyone enters the hunting palace and can hold out for a few days. However, I am afraid that the remaining imperial troops in Jinling City will not be able to provide support."

"Commander Meng has replaced all the commanders who stayed in Jinling City with trustworthy people, so we can take a gamble." Mei Changsu said.

"Is Meng Qing like this?" Jamel Xiao looked at Meng Zhi with a slightly strange look.

"Yes! Your Highness." Meng Zhi nodded.

Jamel Xiao: "In that case, just go back to Jinling and ask for help when the time comes."

Mei Changsu: "It's still not safe enough. After all, King Yu has 50,000 elite soldiers. He only needs to send 10,000 to stand behind him and delay it for two days. There will still be no place for us to survive."

Meng Zhi also nodded somewhat depressedly.

"Even if it's 40,000 versus 3,000, our chances of winning are almost zero."

grass next to

Xiao Jingyang came to the grass with a ball of firewood in his arms, ordered someone to light the fire, and took out the prepared food to start a barbecue.

Sitting on the grass and tilting his head, he saw Zhen Ping walking out of a tent with a gray face.

"Zhen Ping?" Xiao Jingyang shouted quickly.

"Prince!" Zhen Ping said when he heard the voice and saw Xiao Jingyang saluting.

"Prince Yu really...?"
