Chapter 701: Secretly plotting
Qi country.
Compared with the Ji Dynasty, which has won a few games now, the atmosphere is very different.
In the main tent, Qi Ming sat high on the main seat, looking down at the ministers below.
"I've found out that trick doesn't work well for them, do you have any other plans?"
Qi Ming came up with this plan since he knew that Duan Yinzhou's mood was very fluctuating every day to track down Duan Xingzhen's whereabouts.
Now, I don't know what went wrong over there, the strategy that had been very successful before was no longer useful at this time.
"Report ......."
A soldier outside the account quickly ran in, and then said, "Tell His Royal Highness the Prince, now that we have been defeated and retreated, if we lose again, I am afraid that all our efforts over the past few days will be wasted." ”
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but the soldier accentuated the word 'all'.
Everyone's faces changed in unison, if this is really the result, then the end must be miserable.
When they set out on the expedition, they had already boasted about Haikou in the court, and if they really didn't complete what they said, the end would definitely not be much better.
"How's the battle going now?"
"If there is divine help over there." The soldier told the truth about the matter, "Before, it was obvious that both the soldiers and the war horses on their side were very weak, but now I don't know why, they are all in good spirits." ”
"The situation that we managed to level out before, but now we have begun to decline on the side of Jichao." The soldier was so sure that he said, "If we don't make any changes, I'm afraid we'll still lose this time." ”
Qi Ming didn't like to hear this, but at this moment, even if there was something he didn't want to hear, even if he said it, he didn't have so much time to care.
"Take a closer look and see who is here in the Ji Dynasty, and it has changed so much in a short period of time."
Qi Ming calmed down and ordered very quickly, "As for the current situation, there will be a temporary truce, and we will make plans after we finally find out what the reason is." ”
"We must beware of what the Ji Dynasty does, no matter what, we can't lose every inch of land after that."
"Yes."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, a letter from the emperor has come from the emperor's side, asking about the current war."
The corners of Qi Ming's mouth, which still wanted to speak, paused for a moment, then lowered it again, and then said, "In that case, you should go ahead and prepare." ”
"Yes."
After reading the letter, Qi Ming picked up his pen, wrote a few sentences and then tore it up, and so on and so forth, several times before deciding on the final way of writing.
A day passed.
The soldier who had been sent out to investigate the news before came back, and as soon as he came back, he was directly brought to Qi Ming.
"But you've already found out?"
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, yesterday's small request went to investigate the matter ordered by His Highness, and fortunately did not disgrace his life." Without waiting for Qi Ming to ask, he said again, "The Ji Dynasty sent someone from the capital, saying that it is the princess of Prince Rui's mansion and the younger brother of the princess. ”
"These two people may not be known to His Highness, but the younger one knows a thing or two from them."
"Go on."
"The princess of the Ji Dynasty is the wife of Duan Shizi, who is good at making incense, and the means of making incense have spread very well in the Ji Dynasty, and the younger brother of the princess is very good at pharmacology." The soldier added, "His pharmacological knowledge was studied under Guo Zhenzheng, and I heard that it is better than the blue." ”
Of course they knew who Guo Zhenzheng was, but they didn't expect his descendant disciple to come to this remote place in the northwest.
And no wonder!
It was because of his help that things over there could be resolved so quickly.
However, their Qi Kingdom still can't tear their faces with him on the surface, so in the end there is only one purpose.
"But there are a lot of people around the princess to protect her?"
The soldier nodded and shook his head, "It seems that they are all busy investigating Duan Shizi's whereabouts now, and the princess is also asking herself, don't let yourself be with too many people, send everyone to the battlefield, or look for people." ”
"I see." Qi Ming wanted to say something, but when he saw the soldier in front of him, he stopped.
"This errand is well done, and there are many rewards."
"Thank you, Your Highness the Prince."
After Qi Ming asked him to go down, he found the minister to talk about this matter.
"What does Your Highness think?"
Qi Ming pondered for a moment, and then said, "In the past, we were able to fight with the Ji Dynasty in a balanced manner, but it was because of the people sent by the capital that our situation is so embarrassing now. ”
"So?"
Qi Ming glared at him unhappily, and then said again, "There are Concubine Duan and Concubine Shizi's younger brother with him, because his younger brother is the only heir of the Guo family, we can't move, there is only one person who can move, do you know who it is?" ”
"Who can do this?"
Everyone looked at each other, but finally did not speak.
"Could it be that my great Ji Dynasty wants to find someone to bring people out?"
The crowd was still silent.
Seeing that Qi Ming's face was very bad, one person finally stood up, and then said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, although you said that this matter is very simple, how can it be so easy to do?" ”
"Not to mention how we get close to the princess, it is very difficult to get close to the princess."
Qi Ming's face suddenly became even more ugly, but in the end he was still suppressed.
"That'...... What better way can you win this battle? Qi Ming said a little intimidating, "If we bring people back like this, then our chances of winning this war will be greatly improved, do you think this deal is worth it?" ”
"It's not that we don't want to, but this matter is debatable, and we can't act recklessly."
The more they said this, the more powerful the backbone in Qi Ming's mind became.
"Okay, this matter can be discussed later, you guys should step down first."
This matter did not make any good progress, and in the end, it even broke up unhappily, which made Qi Ming's mood even worse.
The soldier who had been investigating the news had come again, not this time to deliver the news.
"The little ones must go down if they see it."
Qi Ming glanced at him very impatiently, and remembered it for a long time before he realized that this person was the person who inquired about the news before.
"What?"
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried about who went to the Ji Dynasty to tie up the princess of the Duan family, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts the little one, then the little one will ask Ying to go on his own."
Qi Ming looked at him for a long time and didn't speak.
