Chapter 916 Lord Jiang is missing
Looking at the young man in front of him, Hadan also developed a prejudice against the high priest!
At that time, the high priest calculated that his father's youngest son was in the Dayun Dynasty, so he petitioned his father and planned to go there in person to train the young prince who was living outside, and to make arrangements in the Dayun Dynasty.
The king agreed! And so, the high priest personally trained Ke Zhenqiu for a full ten years and adopted him as his adopted son!
He also rushed to Dayun Dynasty to hide, but failed to gain the favor of the high priest, and everything depended on himself.
If he had not accidentally heard his father talking about the high priest saying that the hope of the Northern Ming Kingdom lies in the young prince, he would not have known why his father suddenly became cold towards him.
In order to gain his father's approval, he resolutely went to Dayun Dynasty. As a result, he unexpectedly changed from a noble prince to a waiter in a waiter's house.
This kind of humiliation was something he would never forget. He was the precious young prince, his father's most favored heir, but the high priest's words disqualified him.
The high priest sighed. If he had not calculated that the fate of the Northern Ming Kingdom was about to end and that hope lay in the Dayun Dynasty, he would not have hidden his identity and personally taught the royal bloodline of the Northern Ming Kingdom who were stranded abroad in the Dayun Dynasty.
For this reason, he killed Ke Zhenqiu's adoptive parents just to take him away! He used the excuse of adoption to make Ke Zhenqiu sever his family ties and become a cold heir.
If the Northern Ming Dynasty could continue, then the hope lay with Ke Zhenqiu. As for Hadan, he was also his favorite successor! If it weren't for Ke Zhenqiu, perhaps Hadan would be the next Khan?
However, he recently had a fortune-teller tell him that this battle would be extremely dangerous! There were too many uncertainties, which made him panic.
He exhausted all his energy in divination, only to discover that the planet Uranus had already appeared, and was becoming increasingly dazzling. He was a little hesitant. Had he calculated it wrong? But it was clearly in that direction!
"The young prince cannot go in person! What if something goes wrong and the other party captures the young prince and uses him to threaten us? Let me take him there myself! Jiang Youzhen must be eliminated tonight!"
The high priest glanced at Ke Zhenqiu as he spoke. If Ke Zhenqiu had not been attracted to Jiang Youzhen and insisted on keeping him, how could such a big disaster have occurred?
"Humph! Cowardly and indecisive!" Hardan sneered.
"You're decisive? Then why didn't you kill Jiang Youzhen back then? You had more chances than me then, right? But I see you have a good relationship with Jiang Youzhen. He keeps calling you Young Master Luodan, and I'm afraid he's been trying to coax you to the point of losing your way.
If you really want to do it, didn't you have a chance before in Prince Yuanming's mansion? I don't believe you didn't recognize the dancer at that time! "
Hadan sneered, "I only suspected the dancer at the time, but you should have recognized him, right? You didn't take action when you had such a good opportunity. You're just the pot calling the kettle black!"
The high priest held his forehead, and the two men started arguing again.
At this moment, Jiang Youzhen was pacing back and forth in a valley. Why hadn't he come yet? Had things changed?
But not long after, Qing Lang came to report, "Sir, Jiang Feng is here!"
"Bring him here quickly." Jiang Youzhen immediately felt happy and said.
"Sir, I have fulfilled your mission. Duke Qin truly trusted me and entrusted the gift to me."
As soon as Jiang Feng came over, he took out a document of appointment and half a tiger talisman from his arms.
After Jiang Youzhen took it, he immediately took out the other half of the tiger suit and put it on. It fit perfectly, so good!
She looked at the appointment document again and saw that it was from the Duke of Qin. She should not use it unless it was absolutely necessary, otherwise she would be held accountable by the court.
Originally, she only had half of the tiger talisman in the hands of General Dingyuan. Even if she mobilized the army, she had no power to command the battle.
But now with this half coin and the imperial edict in the emperor's hand, she has privileges.
"Are they okay?" Jiang Youzhen asked.
"It's safe! But at that time, Duke Qin also sent Lupin, the son of Lubei, to escape with another item. He should have done this to deceive others and let Lupin attract the enemy's attention." Jiang Feng said.
"Well! Send someone to pick up Lupin immediately. We must not let loyal ministers and generals be sacrificed!" Jiang Youzhen said immediately.
"Yes!" Jiang Feng replied.
"Let's go! The real battle is about to begin." Jiang Youzhen's eyes were shining.
Even though it was already March, the north was still cold; tonight, it was even snowing. The white snowflakes were swallowed by the darkness, and the cold wind howled. The sky and the earth seemed to echo with the howling of ghosts and wolves, making people's hearts shudder.
Inside the border city gate, Prince Yuan Ming drank a bowl of hot wine to warm himself up.
"Send some mutton soup to the soldiers guarding the city gate. It's too cold! It's already March, and it's still snowing." Prince Yuan Ming stood up and looked outside the tent, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes!" someone next to him agreed.
"Mr. Wen, it's a bit strange that the enemy army clearly has 300,000 troops, but only 50,000 came to attack the city.
I sent scouts to investigate and discovered they were still standing where they were, not attacking the city. This baffled me."
Prince Yuan Ming looked at the old man behind him and asked.
"Actually, I have my doubts about whether the enemy's 300,000-man army is real or not. It doesn't make sense! If all 300,000 were deployed, it would definitely be much easier to attack the city. After all, they don't know we have archers here."
Master Wen stroked his beard, looking somewhat solemn.
Prince Yuan Ming was shocked when he heard this. "Sir, do you think the 300,000 troops are a cover, and they only have about 50,000?"
"This is indeed what I suspect." Master Wen nodded.
"Oh no! Have we fallen into their trap? Their goal is not to attack the city, but to trap us here?" Prince Yuan Ming realized something was wrong.
"Hurry! Go and ask Lord Jiang to come over!" he ordered hurriedly.
"General, this is bad! Someone is trying to assassinate Lord Jiang, and Lord Jiang is nowhere to be found!" Suddenly a soldier came running to report in a panic.
"What? What happened? Where did Lord Jiang go?" Prince Yuan Ming had a bad feeling in his heart.
A suspicious glint flashed in Master Wen's eyes. He listened attentively and heard the sound of fighting.
"I have a keen sense of hearing and didn't hear any fighting before. How could Lord Jiang not know where he was?"
"He was captured! Maybe he broke through the defense and used some despicable means!" the soldier said anxiously.
"Bastard!" Prince Yuan Ming slammed the back of his chair in anger. Without Jiang Youzhen, he was suddenly at a loss.
Jiang Youzhen was a skilled warrior, and as long as she was there, there was hope. Now, with only these people left, and the enemy still had at least 250,000 troops, who might have already begun to surround the city, how could he break out?
"Come here! Quickly invite the other soldiers to discuss and make a decision!"
He must distribute these 90,000 soldiers as quickly as possible to avoid being taken advantage of.
