The news brought by Zong Sui's Prince Li Kun allowed the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng, Seventh Prince Zi Hua and Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming to finally sit together and discuss seriously. This was a discussion that they had no choice but to have after searching for Xuantian Mo in secret for more than ten days without any results.
Zong Sui's palace had a coup, intending to betray Dashun; the Eighth Prince went missing, someone suspected to be Zong Sui's Princess infiltrated Dashun, pretending to be Feng Yu Heng and Xuan Tianming; Xiao Bao ran out from the hunting grounds and was kidnapped on the way, the Fifth Prince could not find him even after searching for a long time. The three-day deadline that he promised Feng Fendai had already passed, he did not even have the face to see Fendai now.
All of this pointed out that Zong Sui's coup had already affected Dashun, and it was the other party who took the initiative to influence them, Dashun was caught off guard while being passive. They could not allow Zong Sui to continue causing trouble like this, a huge battle was about to erupt.
The three of them discussed from noon until evening, even their dinner was casually having a bowl of noodles each in Heavenly Hall. Finally, Xuan Tianming said: "Let me go! There are four countries at the border, Zong Sui is the last problem, we have to get rid of it eventually. There is no peace in the world for more than a hundred years, there is no other way for our generation to catch up to the chaotic times. But sending troops to Zong Sui is not to help that Li Kun, once that place is conquered, Dashun must take over, if not, the same crisis will happen again sooner or later, we cannot leave behind any future troubles for our descendants. "
Regarding this, the Sixth Prince and Seventh Prince did not have any objections, but when they heard that Xuan Tianming was going to go to war again, the two of them frowned deeply. The Sixth Prince said: "These few years, it was Ninth Brother who led troops to war outside, he even suffered serious injuries when he went to the northwest back then. Although sister-in-law was able to bring him back to life, now that I think about it, we, as brothers, really owe you too much. "
Xuan Tian Ming waved his hand, "There's no need to speak as if we're family. Who told us to be surnamed Xuan. Who told Da Shun's ancestors to leave behind a rule that military power must be in the hands of one's own family. As a result, although General Ping Nan was also stationed in the South back then, in reality, those soldiers and horses still obeyed the orders of the imperial power. Even the commander's seal was in the hands of the old man. " As he spoke, he smiled bitterly. "As everyone knows, it's rare for an official to rebel, but the princes fight for the throne happens all the time."
The Sixth Prince still felt apologetic. "But it can't always be you."
Xuan Tianming laughed. "If I don't go, are you going? Forget it, Sixth Brother, after I conquer Zong Sui, you should build a few more schools there, and let the people of Zong Sui learn more about our Dashun's books. "
The Sixth Prince also laughed, looking helplessly at this Ninth Brother. He did not know if it was because that couple had interacted with each other for a long time, but he felt that Xuan Tianming was becoming more and more similar to Feng Yu Heng. Their expressions were similar, the way they spoke was similar, even their arrogance and carefreeness were similar. It really made him envious.
These two people talked about their plans for the future, but the Seventh Prince Xuan Tianhua did not interrupt. Normally, it was not the first time that Xuan Tianming took the initiative to volunteer to go to war, he should have gotten used to it. But for some reason, this time, he felt that things were not optimistic, and when Zong Sui was mentioned, his heart would tremble for some reason.
This kind of feeling was especially unfamiliar to Xuan Tianhua, it was the result of a sudden attack of a strong sense of danger. He had never felt this kind of danger before, no matter if it was the North border or the East border, he had never worried about this war god younger brother. Even when Xuan Tianming returned from the North-West with injuries on his legs and face, he did not feel this kind of fear.
If a deity felt fear, that was an extremely terrifying thing. The strong premonition told Xuan Tianhua that in the battle of Zong Sui this time, something very bad would happen, and that matter would be so bad that they would not be able to bear it, and they would lose a lot of their vitality.
His intuition told him that he had to persuade Xuan Tianming to give up on this trip, but he did not know how to persuade him, he could not say that it was his intuition, that kid would not listen. So Xuan Tianhua thought for a while, saying: "Zong Sui is different from Qian Zhou and Gu Shu, it is the largest country among the four countries, and also the richest country. Because the country is rich, the people are strong, and the loyalty of the people towards the country is also relatively high. In order to protect their own country from being invaded by foreign enemies, even if it is not said that all the citizens are soldiers, it is not far off. We already know that Zong Sui has iron essence, every family has weapons made from iron essence, once a battle occurs, all the citizens of Zong Sui can instantly transform into soldiers and join the battle. Furthermore, even though our new steel can break iron essence, it is not as easy as breaking normal iron weapons, these things will bring great difficulties to the battle. Furthermore, Zong Sui has a dense population, it is not like the desert or Qian Zhou's ice country which is vast but sparsely populated. It is impossible for Dashun to not take care of the normal citizens when attacking the city, even though you have the Victory Lightning in your hands, you will not use it easily in Zong Sui. "
Xuan Tianhua's analysis was very comprehensive, describing the situation in the East one by one, placing the difficult facts in front of him. In reality, he hoped that Xuan Tianming would give up on participating in the battle, if this battle had to be fought, then, he was willing to fight in place of him.
However, Xuan Tianhua understood these problems, Xuan Tianming also understood, he was also a very stubborn person, no one could change the things that he had decided on. Xuan Tianming said: "Since the matter has already happened, it has to be resolved, no matter how big the difficulty, it has to pass." After he said that, he looked at Xuan Tianhua, saying something that only the two of them could understand: "Seventh Brother, let me do something for Dashun one last time! Everyone has their own responsibilities, if I do not do something for Dashun, there will be a day in the future … … I will regret it. "
Speaking up to this point, what else could Xuan Tianhua say? He could only frown deeply as he looked at the teacup in his hand, his thoughts drifting to an unknown place. After a while, he heard the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng say again: "Since Ming insists on going, then bring more soldiers, at least five hundred thousand, we can not take down Zong Sui, but we must ensure our own safety, understand?"
Xuan Tianming nodded, not declining. Zong Sui was a large country, five hundred thousand soldiers was not an exaggeration, it might not even be enough. But Dashun had to leave more people behind, in case there were any sudden changes.
The court was not peaceful, the outside of the palace was not peaceful either, the Fifth Prince was still looking for Xiao Bao day and night, he could not eat well and could not sleep well, his hair was not combed properly, his beard had not been shaved for a few days, he was so sloppy that he looked like a beggar. But all of this could not overcome the self-reproach in his heart, he did not look after Xiao Bao well and lost that child, seeing that so many days had passed, hope was disappearing bit by bit, sometimes he even thought, if he was alive, he had to see the person, if he was dead, he had to see the corpse!
As for Feng Fendai, she locked herself in the Crystal courtyard all day, not leaving the main door or taking a step out. Dong Ying told her about the situation on the Fifth Prince's side a few times, her brow twitched slightly, but in the end, she did not ask about it. Sometimes, Dong Ying really felt that her Young Miss was too cruel, the Fifth Prince was such a good person, how could he be treated like this? She even had the urge to tell the truth, but she understood Fendai's temper too well, once she said it, she would not be able to survive.
Xiangrong who had always been staying in Chun Palace also felt flustered recently, she did not know what happened in the capital, but she could see that the Seventh Prince was very busy recently, so busy that he often had to go out at night. Other than the Seventh Prince being busy, her Second Sister and Second Brother-in-law were equally busy, the two of them came to visit Consort Yun sometimes, but they came and went in a hurry, their expressions were not very good, and they did not speak much with her. She had doubts in her heart, but she did not know who to ask.
Consort Yun summed up Xiangrong's mentality as "fear before engagement", she told Xiangrong: "We will leave half a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, heading towards Ji 'an Prefecture, counting it now, there is only half a month left, why don't you walk around the streets often, see if there is anything you want to buy and bring it back. It is not convenient for me to go out, just treat it as going shopping on my behalf, alright? "
Xiangrong knew that Consort Yun was thinking for her, but she just did not want to go out. Staying in Chun Palace would make her feel at ease, once she went out, she would feel even more flustered, even yesterday when she sent her Second Sister out, she only took two or three steps towards the palace gate, and her sense of security disappeared mysteriously, it only got better when she stepped back into the palace gate.
Seeing that she did not want to go, Consort Yun persuaded her again, but before she could persuade her, a servant came to report: "Madam, Third Miss, Feng's Fourth Miss came to visit, saying that she wants to invite Third Miss out for a walk."
The two of them were stunned, Feng's Fourth Miss? Feng Fendai? Why did she come?
Consort Yun frowned and asked: "Didn't you say that Feng Fendai is not close to you? Why did she suddenly come to look for you to go shopping? "
Xiangrong thought for a while, saying: "A few days ago at the hunting grounds, I slept in the same tent as her, and we talked about some things when we were young, thinking about it, we have become much closer. She is also very bored by herself, I will accompany her for a walk! "
Consort Yun did not say anything else, after all, they were sisters, it was good for them to go out for a walk. So she waved her hand to dismiss Xiangrong, and went around to the backyard to play with that white tiger.
When Xiangrong saw Fendai, Fendai was standing at the entrance of the palace with a cold expression, a servant invited her to sit in a shady place, or to go directly to the main hall, but was rejected by Fendai, only saying that she would leave after waiting for Xiangrong, so she did not need to waste any effort.
Xiangrong quickly went forward, but before she could speak, Fendai grabbed her arm, saying with a fake smile: "Third Sister, we have not gone shopping together for a long time, I am also very bored in the palace these days, why don't we go out for a walk together." After saying this, she did not wait for Xiangrong to react, pulling her out.
Xiangrong was pulled out onto the streets in a daze, and did not sit in a carriage, just walking, walking quite quickly, behind her, the two maidservants, Shan Cha and Dong Ying, trotted along. She did not know what kind of madness Fendai had, but thinking about it, Fendai seemed to frequently go crazy, so she did not ask further. But she did not know that early in the morning, Fen Dai found a note next to her pillow. On it, it was clearly written that she should go and find Feng Xiang Rong. No matter what method she used, she had to bring her to the dead end that she had escaped from last time.
Fendai had waited for this moment for far too long, she did not care about Feng Xiangrong's life or death, she only wanted to use Feng Xiangrong to exchange for Xiao Bao back, finally, news came from the other party, and she could not wait to go to Chun Palace to find her.
Along the way, she pulled her towards the agreed place, as she walked, Fendai was also thinking, what method would the other party use to bring Xiangrong away? In broad daylight? In front of everyone's eyes? But, these were not things she should be thinking about, as long as she sent Xiangrong into the other party's hands, she believed that her Xiao Bao would be able to return very quickly.
The two of them walked, from Xiangrong's point of view, it was aimless, but Fendai remembered the path they escaped to Crystal courtyard the last time. Just like that, she pulled Xiangrong and ran in that direction, saying as she walked: "It's been a long time since I went shopping with Third Sister, just walking on the streets like this, it feels pretty good!"
As she spoke, her eyes lit up, about 50 steps ahead, they were about to reach the entrance of the alley … …
