And one more! Let's see who sent this, could it be that he was persuaded to surrender?

Yang Fuqing unfolded it, but it was a strange letter, with no beginning or end, only one sentence: A certain family has the blood edict of the East King in his hand, and he wants to know that two days later, he will meet by the vanilla river in the west of Danyang City!

"Ahh This news shocked Yang Fuqing, he only heard that the East King was slashed and killed by Wei Changhui's troops, but he didn't hear that the East King still had a blood edict left. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info whether it is true or not, he has to meet him.

The date of the letter was yesterday, so someone will come over tomorrow to show the blood edict of the king of the east? Yang Fuqing couldn't help but secretly guess which side of the force would be.

The next day, Yang Fuqing and Yang Yiqing set off early, took dozens of personal soldiers, and rushed to the Vanilla River, only to find that a sergeant dressed as a Taiping soldier was waiting for them. Seeing that the other party was single, Yang Fuqing and Yang Yiqing only brought ten personal soldiers forward, and they got closer, but when they saw it, they found that they were very familiar.

The person introduced: "I have seen Guozong, the villain's name is Zhang Rong, and he used to be a guard in the Dongwang Mansion!" On the order of Yi Tianhou before his death, the blood edict of the Eastern King was sent. ”

No wonder it's familiar, it turns out that he used to be an errand in the East Palace. Yang Fuqing understood that the Yi Tianhou he was talking about was Ji Chengzi, a confidant and adviser of the East King, and often helped the East King with ideas.

"Thank you Brother Zhang! Give the blood edict to Yang. Yang Fuqing knew that a few months ago, Ji Chengzi arranged for a group of guards in the Dongwang's Mansion to serve in the city gate guards, this Zhang Rong must be Ji Chengzi's cronies, but he can believe that if it was the King of Heaven or Wei Changhui's people, it would be impossible to bring the blood edict of the Dongwang before his death to himself.

Zhang Rong took out a cowhide bag from his arms, untied it, and took out a bloody yellow satin inside, which was the blood edict that Yang Xiuqing asked Hou Yukuan, the secretary of the East Palace, to write before he died, probably held in the cowhide bag for a few days, and there was a bloody smell.

"It is indeed the thing of the East King, and it is also stamped with the King of the East King's personal seal!" Yang Fuqing took the blood edict and looked at it carefully.

This bright yellow satin, with nine five-clawed golden dragons embroidered on it, is the yellow dragon silk satin robe that only the king of heaven and the king of the east can wear.

"Edict: All the soldiers defected to the king of the south, they could save their lives, kill the thief, and avenge the king!" Yang Fuqing looked at it and was stunned. The king of the east actually asked them to go to the king of the south! This? How so?

As Yang Xiuqing's recognized godbrother, he is more valued than his cousin Yang Yiqing, Yang Fuqing is undoubtedly Yang Xiuqing's most trusted person, and it is precisely because of this that he is allowed to lead troops outside, the purpose is that once something happens, he can be used as help.

Yang Fuqing also knew that the East King had been suppressing the South King, and he always regarded the South King as an opponent and wanted to eradicate it. Therefore, he never thought that the blood edict issued by the East King before his death turned out to be to let him defect to the King of the South? Could it be that the chaos in Tianjing, the killing of the East King, was really a secret edict from the King of Heaven, so that the East King would make such a decision?

But is it really okay to take refuge in the king of the south? Yang Fuqing was completely at a loss in his heart, mainly because he knew in his heart that in the past, the East King was really too bullying the South King. With the shrewdness of the king of the south, judging from the fact that the king of the south fled and occupied the south, he must have known in his heart who was harming him. In this case, as the brother of the king of the east, he will take refuge in the king of the south, and the king of the south will treat himself well? When it came to life and death, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Yang Yiqing was also shocked, his thoughts were similar to Yang Fuqing's. But they must find a backer, otherwise, the 15,000 soldiers under their command will not only have no food to eat, but even their spiritual pillars will collapse and will soon collapse.

It's also that their prestige is too low, Yang Fuqing is just a national sect, and Yang Yiqing hasn't even been crowned a national sect because he hasn't made much merit.

Yang Fuqing interrogated Zhang Rong who delivered the letter a few more words, and the other party just said that a guard from the famous Dongwang Mansion escaped from the gutter of the palace at the risk of death, found him, and after explaining that he let him deliver the letter, he ascended to heaven because of his injuries, so he came to deliver the letter.

Yang Fuqing asked Zhang Rong to settle down, and then discussed with Yang Yiqing where to go.

"It would be best if King Nan could take us in regardless of his previous suspicions. Now that the king of the south has occupied almost the entire south, the offensive is like a tide, and the Qing demon is being repelled day by day, and we will be able to complete the dream of killing the Qing demon and establishing the kingdom of heaven on earth. It's just that I'm afraid that the king of the east has persecuted and harmed the king of the south several times before, and we can't get out of it, I'm afraid the king of the south will remember it. Yang Yiqing said the pimple in his heart.

"Or, take refuge in the Wing King Shi Dakai, or the Yan King Qin Rigang?" Yang Yiqing proposed the whereabouts of the other two princes, and he was always a little worried that the king of the south would be unfavorable to him, and he had a pimple in his heart.

Yang Fuqing was also noncommittal, and muttered for a while before he said, "Let's observe for a few more days." It's unclear what happened to the Winged King now, and maybe he was killed by the North King. As for Qin Rigang, firstly, he is too far away in Liaodong, and secondly, this person is only obedient to the East King on the surface, and he may hate the people of our East Wangfu in his heart, and he is a newly sealed prince, so he is not as righteous as the Wing King. ”

The two agreed to wait and see the situation for a few more days and then decide whether to vote for the king of the south according to the will of the king of the east, or to take refuge in the king of the wings nearby.

…….

Anqing City a few days later. The original Yamen, the governor of Anman, has now been changed to the main camp of the Western Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Tianguan and Prime Minister Zeng Shuiyuan sat in the back wing of the yamen, and two people sat opposite him. There was someone he was familiar with, but it was Fu Xuexian. The other person was short and still a teenager, but he didn't know that this person was Fan Ruzeng, the celebrity in front of Feng Yunshan and the director of the Special Services Department.

It turned out that Huang Weijiang, Zeng Zhaoyang, and Fu Xuexian were detained in Guangzhou for nearly two months, and then, Fu Xuexian returned to the Holy Kingdom, and Feng Yunshan asked Fan Ruzeng to send spies to take him to various Taiping generals who were fighting abroad.

Not long after he set off, Fan Ruzeng received the news of the Tianjing Incident, and also learned that the Tianjing Intelligence Station of the Secret Service Department had obtained two copies of Yang Xiuqing's blood edict before his death.

The head of the Tianjing Intelligence Station was none other than Jin Shuben, the guard of Chaoyangmen, and after reading the content of the blood edict, he thought that this was an excellent opportunity to recruit the subordinates of the Eastern King. While recruiting the generals of the East Palace stationed at the gate of Tianjing City, he sent people to send two blood edicts to Danyang and Anqing, the two places with the most subordinates in the East Palace, preparing to take the opportunity to recruit the Taiping Army of the East Palace, and at the same time, report to Fan Ruzeng as quickly as possible.

Fan Ruzeng, who traveled to Nanchang, was shocked when he received the news, but also saw a huge opportunity. He was very satisfied with the response of Jin Shumoto, the head of the Tianjing Intelligence Station.

On the one hand, Fan Ruzeng hurriedly sent people to report to Feng Yunshan, the holy king in the city of Guangzhou, and on the other hand, he quickly adjusted the original plan to go to Huangzhou with Fu Xuexian, and decided to rush directly to Anqing, the base camp of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's western expeditionary army.

He was going to come and bring the big one, directly take the blood edict sent to Anqing, and recruit Zeng Shuiyuan, the biggest confidant of the East King.

"Prime Minister Zeng, Tianjing is in turmoil, and the East King was unfortunately killed by the Northern Thief, do you know?" Fu Xuexian asked with a sad face, although he was forced to agree to betray the East King, but all along, the East King has always trusted him very much, even higher than the official title awarded by Zeng Shuiyuan, so he was really sad and sad about the tragic death of the East King.

"Just heard the news. Unexpectedly, the Northern King Li Lingzhi was faint to such a point, and the Heavenly King was also ...... Ay! Zeng Shuiyuan sighed repeatedly.

"I wonder what Prime Minister Zeng's plans are?" Fu Xuexian stared at Zeng Shuiyuan's eyes.

"What are you going to do? What else can be planned for the water source? Naturally, he continued his expedition to the west and completed the things assigned by the king of the east. Is it possible to surrender to the demons? Zeng Shuiyuan did not answer positively.

However, Fu Xuexian naturally heard a layer of meaning from his words, that is, he would not seek revenge for Wei Changhui for the East King, and should directly obey the orders of the Heavenly King.

At this time, Fan Ruzeng next to him spoke: "Prime Minister Zeng, can you summon a subordinate in Anqing City, the king of the east has a will to announce to everyone!" ”

Zeng Shuiyuan was shocked: "The East King has a will? He felt a little uneasy in his heart, originally, since he learned the news of the chaos in Tianjing yesterday, he had not fallen asleep, and he had been thinking about it all night.

In his opinion, as soon as the East King died, although it was originally the strongest force in the East Temple, it naturally collapsed. People like him, who were originally under the King of Heaven, and who were later valued by the King of the East and took refuge in the King of the East, naturally rejoined the King of Heaven.

Moreover, the only people who directly led the troops under the King of Heaven were Hu Yixuan, who was stationed in Luzhou City, and Lai Hanying, who confronted the Qing soldiers in Qianshan, Anqing Mansion, and Zhang Weikun and others in the Zhenjiang area, who did not have many troops in their hands.
