Chapter Eleven: Ning Yuan (2)

Ningyuan City is three feet high, three feet wide on the wall base, two feet wide on the top of the wall, and six feet high on the top of the city wall. The 9 miles and one hundred and twenty steps around the city are basically similar to the ten miles that Xiong Hu had seen. It is close to the Bohai Sea to the east and the mountainous areas to the west. Zhu Yinglong and others came from there. The terrain is very dangerous and is a famous military center outside the Ming Dynasty.

On the fifth day after the Later Jin army captured Juehua Island and plundered tens of thousands of loads of food and tens of thousands of military and civilians on the island, Zhu Yinglong and others saw through the telescope that Ningyuan City opened the gate and let the people enter and exit, so they decided to set off and enter Ningyuan City.

At the end of the war, Ningyuan City suffered heavy losses. Thousands of soldiers were buried in the loess and were buried under this cold land. White cloth was floating everywhere in the city, and coffins were constantly lifted out of the city. This scene made Zhu Yinglong and others feel deeply moved. War is really a human meat grinder. In just three days, thousands of lives were tung into pieces and scattered on this land.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The guards at the city gate saw Zhu Yinglong and others, and immediately stepped forward and stopped everyone from moving forward vigilantly.

According to the past practice, Chen Xi smiled and took money into his arms. Xiong Tingbi knew Yuan Chonghuan's character. He would never allow anyone to accept bribes under his rule. He was about to step forward to stop Chen Xi from making a mistake, but Zhu Yinglong beside him stopped him. He shook his head at him and signaled him not to go over. Xiong Tingbi didn't understand Zhu Yinglong's intention, but there was a difference between master and servant, so he still ordered him to retreat.

Chen Xi's actions indeed caused suspicion from the defenders at the city gate. Before Chen Xi finished speaking, Zhu Yinglong and others were surrounded by hundreds of soldiers. Chen Xi saw this attitude and had already turned pale and his legs were trembling. He couldn't speak. These soldiers had just experienced the Ningyuan Battle, and they all emitted a strong killing aura. They were well-trained. They heard the order of the school: "Take these spies from the Later Jin Dynasty!" Zhu Yinglong and others were captured.

They were locked in a huge cell. When the prison door was locked, Lu Haotian whispered to Zhu Yinglong: "Prince, why don't you let us bring weapons into the city? It's good now, and you don't have the ability to fight back at all."

Xiong Tingbi understood Zhu Yinglong's approach. Just after the war, the search and inspection in Ningyuan City must be very strict. Carrying weapons and muskets is a way to die. However, he was very puzzled by Zhu Yinglong's mistake to prevent Chen Xi from making a mistake and asked: "Prince, why did you stop me from reminding Manager Chen?"

Zhu Yinglong smiled slightly and explained: "First of all, I want to test whether Yuan Chonghuan's rule is the same as what we encountered along the way. Secondly, if we ask for a meeting with this Marshal Yuan, if we post a serious post, he will definitely not have time to see such a merchant in my current busy life. Even if he can see him, he may not be able to see him immediately. Therefore, I want them to misunderstand that we are spies from the Later Jin Dynasty, so that he will definitely send someone to trial us, so it will not be difficult for us to see General Yuan."

"But what if our current identity as a spy is exposed?" Lu Haotian realized it and said worriedly.

Zhu Yinglong laughed and said, "Gen. Xiong's understanding of General Yuan, he will not wrongly accuse any good person, not to mention that we are not spies, and not only us are suspected of being spies. As long as there is no substantial evidence, we will not be in trouble. Moreover, I can see Yuan Chonghuan in person. Exposing my identity is one of the purposes of my king coming to Liaodong."

"Prince?" Xiong Tingbi said in surprise, while Lu Haotian opened his mouth wide and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"You must be very surprised. Why did I do this?" Zhu Yinglong asked the two of them with a smile.

Xiong Tingbi and Lu Haotiangu nodded.

"I want to take Yuan Chonghuan for his own use!" Zhu Yinglong said solemnly.

"Your Majesty, no!" Xiong Tingbi said with a look of surprise, "Yuan Chonghuan is a strong person. Now the emperor has the kindness of knowing him and will definitely not follow the prince."

"Some things can only be known after trying them. Even if Yuan Chonghuan does not surrender to me, I will have the ability to let him keep this secret strictly for me. Do you think so, General Xiong?" Zhu Yinglong asked staring at Xiong Tingbi's face.

Xiong Tingbi met Zhu Yinglong's firm eyes, lowered his head with a gloomy expression, and said, "Do you know everything about it?"

"Does you know that it is actually not important to me. What matters is Yuan Chonghuan himself." Zhu Yinglong took his eyes away from Xiong Tingbi's face and exhaled slowly and long!

Only then did Xiong Tingbi realize how terrible the young prince standing in front of him was, but he treated people so sincerely. Sometimes he really didn't know which person in front of him was his real self.

Xiong Tingbi seemed to have become ten years older in an instant, sighed and said softly: "The life of the Mo General is saved by the prince. Everything that the Mo General is the prince. You can do whatever he wants the Mo General to do."
