0Kong Wu turned a blind eye to the sharp sword that was about to pierce his throat, and stood motionlessly in front of Li Dan's horse. He said seriously: "Even if young master wants to kill me today, I still have to say, the enemy's forces are not less than a million, and the allied camp is not more than a hundred li. I hope that the young master can take back his order, plan from the beginning, and plan again.<ins id="1067137" data-width="308" data-height="298"

He looked like a dead pig that wasn't afraid of boiling water. If you want to kill him, kill him, but I didn't retreat, which made Li Dan unable to do anything to him.

A loyal official like Kong Wu was not someone he could kill easily, and he was also unwilling to kill. However, if Kong Wu did not compromise, he would not be able to leave the city, nor open the city gates.

Time was of the essence, and Li Dan found it hard to make a decision in that moment.

However, even if Li Dan did not say anything, they had no other choice. In terms of military rank, they were far inferior to.

Li Dan and Kong Wu were in a stalemate, and on the way back home, Hou Feng, who had been found by Li Ying, coincidentally met with Domestic Servant who had come to report.

Although the manor was not in big trouble, the other party's intentions were unclear. The Domestic Servant did not dare to take care of it herself, and had specifically come to report to Hou Feng.

When he met Hou Feng on the way to the North City, the Domestic Servant would be extremely surprised. He hastily dismounted and went forward to pay his respects, asking: "Where is the general going?"

Seeing that it was his own Domestic Servant, Hou Feng took a deep breath. Could it be that the situation in his family was dire? He did not answer, but asked urgently, "How is the situation at home? Is the scoundrel still around? "

Eh? How did the general know about the attack? The Domestic Servant was confused as he replied in a daze: "Reporting to General, the house is fine now, the attackers were beaten away, I am here to report to the General, just that, how did General know about the change at home?"

"It was General Li Ying who reported the letter to me ?" As he spoke, he looked behind him, but there was nothing behind him. Where was Li Ying? Hou Feng frowned, Li Ying was obviously following behind him, how could he disappear in the blink of an eye?

Hou Feng was not an idiot, when he calmed down and thought about it, he immediately knew that something was wrong. At the same time, he also felt that Li Ying's message was not ordinary.

Thinking about it, he inwardly cursed. Without saying anything further, he hurriedly turned his horse around and rode on his whip, returning back to the North City.

When Hou Feng rushed back, he saw the scene of Li Dan and Kong Wu facing each other.

He did not know when the crown prince had arrived, but the crown prince holding onto the sharp sword in his hand was at Kong Wu's throat. This caused Hou Feng to be extremely frightened, before he even got close, he shouted from afar, "Young master, please keep your subordinates!"

Hearing the shouts, Li Dan instinctively turned his head to look. Seeing Hou Feng urging his horse to gallop towards him, his heart completely turned cold.

He had calculated everything perfectly, yet he had missed Kong Wu, and this time, although Hou Feng had been tricked away by him, Kong Wu had ruined his plans. Now that Hou Feng had returned, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens for him to think about leaving the city again.

In the blink of an eye, Hou Feng had already urged his horse to gallop over. He then dismounted and bowed to Li Dan, saying: "This General Hou Feng greets Young Noble!"

Pausing for a moment, he turned to look at Kong Wu, and asked: "What's going on? Why did General Kong offend Young Master? "

"It was young master who wanted to go out of the city to steal our camp, this general risked his life to stop you, and it was indeed this great mistake, but this general would rather die than allow young master to take a risk on Enemy's Camp!" Kong Wu said resolutely.

"Camping?" Hearing that, Hou Feng gasped, he raised his eyes to look at the ten thousand people behind Li Dan, not to mention Li Dan leading the way, even if he led the way, it would only be a narrow escape, and it was very difficult to succeed.

He asked, "Is this Young Master's orders or the King's orders?"

At this time, Li Dan could only brace himself and finish with the lie. He waved the order badge in his hand and said: "Of course I want the order. Also, I have the King Father's order badge!"

Hou Feng took the order badge and looked at it carefully, then respectfully returned it to Li Dan. The order badge was indeed correct, but how could the King give such an order, even if she wished for the crown prince to be able to establish a meritorious service, she shouldn't have let the crown prince take such huge risks.

When he thought about it again, Hou Feng felt that it was impossible. Even if the King wanted to create a new Crown Prince, she wouldn't do so. Furthermore, the King had always loved the Eldest Young Master, so for no reason at all, why would she create a new Crown Prince?

He could not come up with an answer no matter how much he thought about it. He then asked casually, "Does young master have the King's edict?"

These words were to Li Dan's weakness. If he could get ahold of Li Hong's written orders, he could have definitely left the city in broad daylight.

He took a deep breath, feigned calmness, and said: "The King Father only gave me the order badge, she did not write the order!"

Oh! For Hou Feng to be able to become the general of the North City, his mind definitely wasn't simple. He now understood that it was not the King's orders that the Crown Prince wanted to go out of the city to steal the camp, but the Crown Prince himself. As for the medallion, it would be too easy for the Crown Prince to steal it.

He did not point it out directly, but said in a businesslike manner, "The King told me long ago that if anyone wants to leave the city, they must first have a talisman, and secondly they must have an imperial edict. Since the crown prince is determined to leave the city and he doesn't have any orders from the King, this lowly general can only send someone to clear things up with the King. " While speaking, he tilted his head and called out: "General Kong Wu, ride your horse and head quickly to the palace, ask the King for his orders, in the future, if anyone asks about this, I can give them my proof!"

Although Kong Wu wasn't sure why Hou Feng had suddenly returned, but he was truly relieved when he returned. He secretly thought that he was clever, and interfered with Hou Feng: "This general obeys!" As he spoke, he was about to mount his horse and ride towards the palace.3

How could Li Dan let him go? If he went to the palace, wouldn't he be exposed?

He reached out to stop Kong Wu, put away his sword and sheathe at the same time, and said: "I just came out of the palace, so before I left, King Father had already gone to sleep. For the past few days, King Father has been worrying about national affairs, and has not had a good rest.

"But, without the King's orders, General Hou and this lowly general will not be able to have Young Master leave the city!" Kong Wu felt Li Dan's guilt. He pretended to look troubled.

"Forget it. Tonight, I won't go out of the city to camp. I'll wait until tomorrow!" Since things had reached such a stage, Li Dan could only choose to give up, afraid that the matter would blow up. Not wanting to stay any longer, he turned around and waved to the people behind him: "Retreat!"

Ignoring Hou Feng and Kong Wu's reactions, Li Dan led the army and left quickly as well. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared at the end of the street.

When they all left, Kong Wu heaved a sigh of relief. He raised his hand and wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand.

After he rested for a while, he turned around and bowed deeply to Hou Feng, saying, "It's all thanks to General Hou that I came back in time. Otherwise, my life would have been in danger ?"

Hou Feng's expression became solemn, as though he had thought of something, and did not reply.

Kong Wu asked curiously, "Didn't General Hou go home? Why did you suddenly return! "

Hou Feng said: "I just happened to bump into Domestic Servant when I was on my way home to report to him. I knew that my home was safe and sound, so I decided to return halfway." As he spoke till here, he stopped, looked at Kong Wu, and asked softly. "General Kong, why do I feel that what happened tonight was so strange? First, my mansion was attacked by bandits for no reason, and then Li Ying informed me to leave, but just as I left, the crown prince arrived and even said that he was going to go out of the city to steal our camp, this ? Isn't that too much of a coincidence? "

Kong Wu had the feeling since long ago, it was just that when it came to the crown prince, he did not dare to make wild guesses. Instead, he asked, "General Hou means ?"

"I'm not sure. The crown prince is leaving the city ?" Are we going to camp or are we going to camp... "

This sentence made Kong Wu's body shudder, and he subconsciously looked to his left and right. Luckily, no one was around and Hou Feng's voice was low enough.

He approached Hou Feng and whispered urgently in his ear, "General Hou, disaster comes from the mouth. This kind of speech, you absolutely cannot speak carelessly. But you will lose your head! "

"Humph!" Hou Feng snorted, and said: "When tomorrow comes, ask the King, and we will understand!"

Kong Wu wanted to stop him, but Hou Feng did not give him another chance to speak. Kong Wu secretly sighed, and silently followed behind him.

Hou Feng was not just casually spouting nonsense, at the imperial court the next day, he publicly mentioned that Li Dan was going to leave the city in the middle of the night with the order badge in his hand, and asked Li Hong about it.

Li Hong was startled, he subconsciously looked down at his waist, and sure enough, the order badge was already gone. No wonder he felt that he was missing something when he woke up in the morning, but he didn't take it to heart. It turned out that the token was missing.

Without waiting for him to question Li Dan, the latter proactively stepped forward and knelt onto the ground with a thump. With both hands holding the order badge, he raised it above his head and said: "King Father, the order badge was indeed sneakily taken out by this son!"

Hearing that, everyone's face including Li Hong's changed. Stealing the tokens during an emergency was a capital offense that involved the complicity of an enemy. Even if the crown prince were to do this, it would only make things difficult for him.

Li Dan's eyes were rimmed red as he sniffed with his nose and said with a trembling voice: "Last night, this son had already expressed his determination to personally lead the army to steal the camp. But the King Father did not allow it, this son does not accept it! This son knows that all the ministers of the empire look down on this son of mine, and think that this son of mine is just a scholar, not as mighty and mighty as King Father, but, this son also has the determination to fight to the death to repay this country, and I also want to help Dazhi. I also want to help King Father to resolve this problem, even if it means death in battle by Enemy's Camp, as long as I can call upon the morale of our troops and the determination to win, this son will die with no regrets!
