Since everything was true, General Lin's words naturally had no reason to be suspicious, and everyone looked at General Lin silently, not knowing what to say for a while.

A person with a clearer and more cautious mind stood up and asked cautiously: "General Lin, before taking the oath of allegiance, can you let me wait to meet Her Royal Highness?" When General Lin heard this, his face changed slightly. The person who opened his mouth to inquire thought that he had an opinion about what he said, and thought of the death of the former prefect and his family cronies, and he hurriedly defended himself.

"General, don't get me wrong, the grass people don't doubt what you mean! It's just that this matter is very important, and we are all family people, and if we are not careful, the family will be ruined, so we can only choose to be cautious, and I hope the general will forgive me. ”

General Lin waved his hand to signal that he didn't need to explain: "This matter is indeed not small, you have doubts, I can understand it, but I am afraid it is impossible to see Her Royal Highness the Emperor in the short term."

"Why can't it?"

In front of him, these are the people brought by Liang Ping, since he entrusted the other party to help invite people, he should be trusted, so General Lin did not hide it, and told the matter that Feng Changqi was not here, and saw that everyone present looked at each other with frowns, and he opened his mouth and added: "It is impossible for Her Royal Highness the Emperor to meet with you in the short term, but the national teacher can."

There is only one choice in front of them, and everyone can only retreat to the second: "Where is the national teacher now?"

Feng Changqi and Yu Hopeless can be said to have spread throughout Meng Liguo, although the two have not officially married, not even engaged, but Meng Liguo's people have more or less heard relevant rumors, they have long been tacitly agreed to be a couple, no matter who is there, the meaning is almost the same.

"The national teacher is in Shattered Leaf City."

Shattered Leaf City, inside the barracks.

Jade's hopeless gaze turned to the east, and his gaze was mixed with many complex emotions. In his hand, he clutched a note, which was tied to his feet by a carrier pigeon that had just flown from Yongcheng, and General Lin asked him to go to Yongcheng.

Regarding this matter, the cautious military advisor objected: "If you want to prove your identity, can't you send a token over, why do you want the national teacher to go over in person?" Will there be fraud in this? ”

Lu Ming pressed down on the military advisor with a headache: "General Lin is not that kind of person."

"But it's still too dangerous!"

The military advisor wanted to persuade, but before the words of persuasion could be spoken, Lu Ming gave him a look, signaling him to say more, this kind of thing is not something they can decide, the real decision is in the hands of the parties, that is, Yu Wuhope, only what he says counts, and other people's words are useless.

The eyes of the two fell on Jade Hopeless's body in unison.

The latter finally noticed their gaze, turned his face and shook his head: "Don't be guarded, General Lin is a credible person?"

The military advisor was not a person from the capital, he had never been to the capital, and he had never seen the face of the so-called credible General Lin in their mouths, so he expressed deep skepticism about the firm words of these two people: "Why do you all believe so much in a person who rarely meets each other, and the general is really so worthy?"

Yu Wuwang sighed and said: "Actually, I have a few words of friendship with General Lin, but I can get a glimpse of his character from his words, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is chivalrous and courageous for the country and the people."

Yu Wuwang has spoken like this, what else do others have to say? I can only continue to follow his words.

"Since the National Teacher has made up his mind to go, let's go."

In the afternoon of the same day, Yu set off hopelessly, with only a few guards by his side, and the group traveled day and night, and successfully arrived at Yongcheng at noon the next day, so fast that General Lin was very surprised.

"Meet the National Teacher!"

Yu Wuwang glanced at the person who bowed and bowed, and shook his head with a complicated expression: "You don't need to be polite, today is different from the past, do you still need to rely on you in the future?"

The national teacher is really as easy-going and elegant as rumored, and in the face of people with lower status than himself, he has no frame at all! Such a man is worthy to be the one who leads them.

If before seeing Yu Hopeless, people were still a little confused about what General Lin said, then now they are half confused, the national teacher is like this, then His Royal Highness the Emperor Maiden who he personally taught will definitely not be bad! Thinking of this, everyone knelt down to express their allegiance, and Yu had no hope of subduing a group of subordinates without much effort.

If they want to return to the capital and defeat the army led by Zhu Yan, it is not enough to rely on the strength of the two cities of Broken Leaf City and Yongcheng, they must expand their strength, and the surrounding cities are the goal of Yu Wuwang and others.

Not all cities can be taken without a single soldier like Yongcheng, some prefects are stubborn and must be attacked, so how to attack has become their biggest problem at the moment.

The next day, several cities around the northwest received urgent letters from Yongcheng, and the prefects were stunned when they looked at the description on the letter in black and white: "How can this be!"

I thought that General Lin led the army to the northwest in order to attack Broken Leaf City and eradicate the villain Lu Ming, but I never expected that after he arrived in Yongcheng, he would turn against the front of the battle, and Broken Leaf City was not captured, but he defeated Yongcheng with his backhand! The further back they looked, the more thrilled the county guards became, the highness sitting in the palace was actually pretending? What kind of world is this?

Because they were too entangled, the county guards decided to hold a meeting to discuss the matter of taking refuge.

"Even if the one sitting in the palace is not a real prince, but he also has the means to govern the country, you see, since the first emperor was seriously ill and ignored the government, he has been in charge of all government affairs, and Meng Liguo has been governed by him in an orderly manner, isn't this enough to prove it?" One person took the lead in expressing his opinion, "The orthodoxy of the royal family is not something we should discuss at all, as long as the person sitting in the position has a clear mind, everything is fine." ”

"It makes sense, that prince has the ability to rule the world, and he is suitable to sit in that position, but His Royal Highness the Emperor may not have it, she is still just a little girl, even if there is a national teacher beside her, I am afraid that she does not have the ability of the current one!"

"Do you mean to support the Prince?"

As soon as these words were asked, everyone fell silent again.

A young man stood up and looked to the west with a complicated expression, which was the direction of Broken Leaf City: "It's not that I want to pour cold water on you, but this matter is careless, once the war spreads, it will inevitably burn all the grass where it passes, and the city under our rule will also be implicated...... No, maybe it's not just implicated. If the national teacher and others want to crusade against Zhuyan and lead the army north, they must expand their forces, and we are all in his way to the north. This urgent letter was delivered, on the surface, we have two choices, but in fact there is only one way to go, and that is to surrender. ”

"This, this, deceive people too much!" A county guard slapped on the table with a snap, and stood up suddenly, his face full of anger, "Could it be that I am waiting for the fish on the board to let him be at the mercy of this?" I want to see how he can come in if he doesn't come out of the city! ”

The young scholar sighed again: "General Lin and General Lu Minglu are both important figures who followed the first emperor to conquer the country, aren't their exploits enough to prove their ability?" Even if we don't defend the city, they will have a way to attack it. ”

"There's only one way to go."

These county guards are different from the prefect of Yongcheng, they are truly for the country and the people. The northwest border city has poor resources and the road is not easy to walk, so it is not easy to develop, if it is affected by the war, I don't know how many years it will take to recover! For the sake of the people of the city, they decided to surrender.

Some people choose to take refuge in Jade without hope, and naturally there are those who oppose it, and the Qingzhou County Guard is such a person. Seeing that the people around him all said that they wanted to stand on Yu Wuhope's side, his face became darker and darker.

"For the sake of the people? Hehe, the excuse you found is really high-sounding! Anything that is said to be for the people to live and work in peace and contentment is just an excuse to escape from reality. You're just afraid of death, and you don't dare to fight! ”

The other county guards were red-faced by him: "Don't spray people with blood!"

"Blood-spewing people? When I say it, I'm telling the truth. ”

The young scholar stepped forward, one left and one right, and pulled away the two county guards who were about to fight: "I invite you here today mainly to discuss whether you should return to the national division, and it is normal to have different opinions. Please also look at my face, don't be too careful, and take harmony as the most valuable. ”

"Humph!"

For his sake, disputes can be resolved, but disagreements cannot be assimilated, and neither can moods.

The county guard, who refused to surrender, flicked his sleeves and turned around with a cold face: "Since you have decided that there is no hope of surrendering to the jade, then we have nothing to talk about.

With that, he strode away quickly.

Yongcheng was captured, and the eyeliner placed in the army was sent back to the palace on the same day, but the sky was high and the water was far away, and after two days, the letter was delivered to the hand of the inkstone.

Holding the inkstone in a rage, he tore the letter to shreds: "What a jade is hopeless!" What a General Lin! They are so calculating, I don't know how many people they have played! ”

The letter not only talked about the affairs of Yongcheng, but also mentioned that Yu Wuwang and others planned to expand their power and take other surrounding cities into their pockets.

The cronies looked at him angrily from the side, and hesitated to speak: "Master, in addition to this urgent letter from Yongcheng, there is also news that has just been sent to the palace, saying that someone has seen someone who looks like the wind in a nearby town, but I am not sure if it is her."

Holding the inkstone's eyes lit up slightly: "I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one!"
