"I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed... The person the young master sent to Beijing to spread the news was killed by my people halfway through, so Song Langsheng didn't even know that you were trapped here by me, let alone last night. What have you been through..."

My heart was suffocated. Last night, Feng Li was really watching us outside the door. It seems that Nie Ran didn't really have the intention to lead Song Langsheng to save me. He just wanted Feng Li to stop it. As a result, Feng Li will naturally not stay outside the house to check the truth. In a sense, Nie Ran and Feng Li were still on the same front after all, and he really had no reason to let Song Langsheng escape from danger.

Thinking that Song Langsheng probably didn't know that I was trapped here, an unspeakable sadness gripped my heart, Feng Li saw that I still had nothing to express, and said, "But even if he finds it, he will still be there. You may not be able to get in... do you know where this is?"

Feng Li said, "This is Prince Rui's palace."

I was slightly startled.

Prince Rui, the most courageous and adept prince among his father's younger brothers, he is upright and upright. Although he is not handsome, he is a strong general in Daqing.

Thinking about it this way, most of the people Feng Li disguised were the stewards or cronies of Prince Rui's mansion. No wonder he had nothing to fear. Prince Rui and his wife and children were not in the capital. Who would have thought that the missing princess would be captured in a grand manner. Tied to the palace?

The worst thing is that when the father emperor was conferring the title to reward Prince Rui's achievements, he also allowed the emperor to have soldiers stationed in the mansion.

"Princess, do you know why I imprisoned you so far?" Feng Li slowly took out the wooden box from his cuff, opened it, and played with the military talisman in the box, "This place is very close to the great sacrificial altar in the western suburbs, and the sound of the bell ringing just now, At the beginning of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, the prince stepped into the altar at this moment, from welcoming the emperor to entering the zodiac to play the chapter of Xianping, and then to offering gifts and kneeling to receive blessings..." He closed his eyes and counted the rituals of offering sacrifices to heaven, "Wait straight. Finally, Wang Liao will play the chapter of Youping, and the sound of the bell will sound again..."

He opened his eyes again and looked at me with a fixed gaze, but his tone was icy and cold, "With a bang, the ashes are gone, and the world is full of elements, today is it."

His robes were blown up by the wind, and his eyes were as sharp as a dangerous blade, which was particularly intimidating in this sultry morning.

I lowered my eyes, knowing that I couldn't save anything in this situation, but as time passed, my heart was stretched like a bowstring that was about to be broken, until the bell rang again, resounding through In the distant sky, Feng Li's eyebrows lifted, "Everything is about to begin."

I couldn't help myself from closing my eyes, but stared at the sky outside the window.

The breeze gently scattered the thin floating clouds, and the birds gently landed on the branches of the trees, causing the dead branches to rustle. Other than that, the sky was clear, the sky was clear, and there was no other movement.

Feng Li's spirit gradually turned from excitement to disappointment. He slowly lowered his sleeves, and a soldier talisman in the box fell to the ground.

How could the tiger talisman commanding thousands of troops be broken when it is dropped? His eyes became more and more cold, and they instantly focused on me.

All his hard work came to nothing, so how could he not be angry?

I took a long sigh of relief and opened my mouth: "Feng Li, everything is over."

"You...you can talk..." Feng Li's face changed suddenly, "You brought this fake soldier talisman out of the palace on purpose!"

I looked up at him, "What does Young Master Feng think?"

Feng Li's confused expression was instantly clear, and there was a hint of suffocation, but he was still able to control himself. At this moment, the attendant's fiery voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Young Master, something is not going well. Someone brought a sergeant all the way and said aggressively. It is to arrest the criminal, and is about to forcefully break in!"

"You bastard!" Feng Li slammed the table and turned over the tea cup, "This is Prince Rui's palace, if it weren't for the decree, who would dare to trespass!"

The attendant said tremblingly: "Come on, the person who came here claims to be... from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies..."

"Five Army Governor's Mansion?" Feng Li flicked in vain, apparently panicking, "How is this possible?"

"Little, little people don't know..."

Feng Li turned his head and glanced at me, maybe he was surprised when he saw me. Knowing that it wasn't me who came, and since he couldn't find the truth from me, he immediately raised his sleeves and rolled his sword, and called Caimi to enter the house and take good care of him. Watching me closely, he immediately opened the door and shouted, "You two stay outside the door, and the rest follow me out!"

When the incident happened suddenly, Caimi was even more overwhelmed. She came to the door, took out her long sword and moved it to my neck, but her eyes looked out the window from time to time.

I was too lazy to care about her, and I was hesitant in my heart, thinking that it would be a strange thing for the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to appear here.

The Grand Governor's Mansion is the highest place to command the Qing army.

Among the civil servants, the most eloquent ones are the chief assistants of the cabinet, and among the military attachés, the commander-in-chief is well-deserved. Later, in order to prevent the dictatorship of the commander-in-chief, the father took back the power of the Dudu's mansion to deploy troops. That is to say, no one except the father could arbitrarily deploy the troops of the five army battalions.

The reason why Feng Li was confident before was because he not only assembled the former rebels, but also mastered the key points of the Three Thousand Battalion and the Shenji Battalion. In this way, the Yulin Army and the Suweifu Army were difficult to be his opponents. Even if the Crown Prince and I wanted to dispatch the troops of the Five Armies Governor's Office, we would have to wait until the war broke out before the Cabinet would discuss and finally let the Ministry of War prepare documents and transfer them to the Governor's Office. After this series of delays, he could reverse too much of the situation.

But now that the plan of murdering the prince at the ceremony of sacrificing the heavens has not been completed, the military talisman is fake, and the five army governor's office can actually come to the door.

At this time, the sound of fighting and fighting came from outside the window. It seemed that someone really led the troops to break in hard. If it was really from the Fifth Army Camp, could it be that they came to rescue me after hearing the news?

I paid a little bit, but I didn’t feel like it. What the attendant said was about arresting the wanted criminals, which means that the people who came here didn’t know that I was trapped here, but it’s better for someone to come than no one to come. I have feelings for them. Looking forward to it, he turned to look at Caimi, thinking about how to find an opportunity to warn people outside, when suddenly he heard the sound of arrows nailed to the door, accompanied by shrill screams, blood was flying on the door. , the two attendants guarding the door fell to the ground.

I was shocked in vain, and when I was looking forward, the blade in Caimi's hand was pasted under my neck again, signaling me not to act rashly.

Just at this moment, a voice came from outside the door without warning: "Feng Li, the overall situation has been decided, you have no way out."

This familiar and long-lost voice, just one sentence, is like drowning in a fantasy sea and encountering driftwood, which made my heart skip a beat.

But he heard Feng Li step back to the door and said, "Song Langsheng...you, how did you find this place?"

Song Langsheng sneered and said: "You are always thinking about using the ceremony of sacrificing heaven to murder the crown prince. With your usual demeanor, you will definitely make plans in the dark near the altar and wait for the opportunity. Although there are many places to hide around the altar, However, a few days ago, when I let go to collect honey, I put nine hidden incense on her, and I can smell it with a dog in a radius of nine miles, so that I can find your hiding place in one night."

When Caimi heard the words, it was like a stone carving and a woodcut, and there was a terrifying sea in her eyes. Duodi Fengli was equally shocked, he said: "You are a traitor captured by the imperial court, how could you possibly lead the five army camps! Oh, don't think that letting those traitors from the previous dynasty who followed you pretend to be the imperial army can be deceived. I'll obey! At this moment, there are my soldiers and horses on all sides of the capital, do you think you can really trap me with your broken armor?"

Even if Feng Li didn't mention it, I had the same question, I just heard Song Langsheng smile, "Yes, you are gathering forces in secret, recruiting martial arts masters in the world, and using Nie Guang's former rebel army in Beijing to rise up, even if it is The Three Thousand Battalion, the Yulin Army, and the Shenji Battalion also have the former rebels arranged by you. If there are only a few remnants of the army, how can you defeat your plan?" He paused, "But... you can Do you recognize what this is?"

He should have brought out something, I couldn't see it in the room, and I was a little curious, but I heard Feng Li startled and said: "...The Peiyin of the Central Military Governor's Mansion...you...how could you... "

Song Langsheng said calmly: "There is only one person in the world who can grant me this seal..."

"The current emperor!" Feng Li trembled: "You belong to him?! He, he actually gave you the seal of the Central Military Mansion! No, this is impossible, you are a civil official, how can you overstep your authority? And lead a thousand troops!"

Song Lang said in an ordinary life: "Civil officials can't lead the army and lead the army, but they were removed from the post of Dali Temple two months ago. This seal was given by the emperor yesterday..."

"The emperor personally taught?" Feng Li's voice cooled, and he asked word by word, "You mean, he...was awake?!"

I couldn't hold back the shock in my heart, is the father awake?

"It makes no difference to you whether the emperor is awake or not." Song Langsheng said solemnly, "The gunpowder you buried under the altar has been removed, and your cronies in the three thousand camp have also been arrested. To be brought to justice, half of the former rebels in Beijing have been recruited by me and surrendered to the imperial court. As for the other people who are willing to follow you to the death... Oh, you don't need to use the troops of the Fifth Army Battalion, and the entire army has been destroyed. Nie Guang He is a wise man. On the surface, he asked Nie Ran to help you, but in fact he had already withdrawn his troops and escaped overnight... Feng Li, your greatest strength has already seen your decline. At this moment, you are already helpless. Do you think that you still have? What win?"

This remark reminded me inexplicably of what Song Lang said in a stable and steady life on the day before his parting: He has become our pawn.

After that, all the deployments were just because he revealed all his cards and wiped them out in one fell swoop.

Or for the father, the prince, and Song Langsheng, defeating Feng Li was to officially declare war on Nie Guang.

Feng Li... He is a terrifying strategist, and there are endless plots, but for the emperor, only absolute force and conspiracy are the real opponents to face up to.

The big picture is set early.

""It's impossible..." Feng Li still said unwillingly, "How did you know that there was gunpowder under the altar? How did you know that the prince who sacrificed to heaven today is the real one? ! On that day, the princess clearly used the flying eagle to send the letter to the prince in your palace. ! "

"Of course I received it." Song Langsheng smiled, "It's just that what the princess mentioned in the letter was not that the prince was fake, but..."

But, after stepping into the East Palace the night before yesterday, when I hid outside the Prince's bedroom and listened to their conversation, I had already guessed the truth that the Prince was still in the palace.

It was all too coincidental.

It just happened to let me find out that the prince was fake, and when the guards of the East Palace were all moved outside the palace, I could peep without any scruples, and let me catch up with everything I wanted to hear - it was like a perfect plan.

So before I left the East Palace, I asked the commander of the guards: "Is there someone in the East Palace who was carried out while fainting? Or did someone carry something like a bag or box out?"

The commander of the guards said with certainty: "No, the subordinates are guarding here for a day, and I have never seen such a situation happen."

If not, it can only mean that the prince has not left the East Palace.Even if Feng Li stunned the prince and changed his face, it would be impossible to send a big living person away without anyone knowing it.

At that time, I had a judgment in my heart, and I could not have guessed that Feng Li would follow him after he lured me to take out the military talisman, so I immediately went to the library, took the fake military talisman prepared by the prince before, and wrote a letter toSong Langsheng.

I will pass all these doubts to Song Langsheng in a small letter, hoping that he can find out the truth, or tell Zhao Gengnian everything and plan a countermeasure together.
