There was no other sound in the tent except for Min Ruoying's heavy breathing. Yang Qing lowered his head and did not dare to make a sound. Min Ruoying was a master of the grandmaster level. At this time, he could not even control his own breathing, which shows how angry he was in his heart at this moment.

After a while, Yang Qing quietly raised her head and secretly glanced at Min Ruoying. She was immediately startled. The muscles on the emperor's face kept twitching, swelling red, as if there was a possibility of a rampage at any time.

Yang Qing only felt that life was like years. I don’t know how long it had passed. The sound of breathing gradually calmed down. Min Ruoying’s sinister laughter came from his ears: “Okay, very good. Fortunately, I still think that Cheng Wuben is loyal and dares to abandon me. Do you think I must not come back alive? Okay, it’s so good, the wolf’s ambition is obvious.”

Yang Qing did not dare to speak on this issue. Even if he thought that Cheng Wuben did this, there would be some truth. If Cheng Wuben was really ambitious, he would not have let Jiang Tao take ten thousand cavalry to die. But at this moment, how could he dare to speak out for Cheng Wuben's explanation? He could only lower his head silently and let Min Ruoying vent.

"Since Wanzhou has no troops from our Great Chu, it must be controlled by the Chu people at this moment. With the situation you have found, can we still go to Wanzhou?" Min Ruoying finally calmed down slowly. Now, his primary task is to go back alive, and he has to take his troops back. Since Cheng Wuben dared to do this, he must have some reliance. If he escaped alone, wouldn't that guy who dared to abandon his king and father and ignored him, wouldn't he dare to kill the king and commit crimes?

"Your Majesty, although Wanzhou has no troops, there is no elite troops from the Chu people. The main force of Guo Jiyun's troops has already rushed to Kunling Pass. After seizing Kunling Pass, he began to attack the six eastern counties. Guo Jiyun himself led his cavalry. After destroying General Jiang Tao's troops, he had already led his troops to Chang'an. He heard that General An Ruhai's troops are now heading towards Chang'an. Guo Jiyun obviously went back to protect his troops. In Wanzhou, the main force of the Qi county soldiers are defending, and they are only stationed in the city. There is still no problem for our army to rush to Wanzhou. After all, we are not trying to capture the city and plunder the land, but just returning to the country through the road. With the power of the county soldiers, we dare not repel the wind of our army at all."

"What then?" Min Ruoying snorted coldly, pointing to the sub-map of the area hanging in the tent, "and then retreat to Jinghu? Cheng Wuben, a bastard who deceives the king and the emperor, is in Jinghu, where do I dare to go?"

Yang Qing was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty, if we don't go to Wanzhou, we will inevitably go to Phoenix Mountain. Wherever there is a Qi Longxiang Army stationed there. I don't know how many people they have? But there will definitely be no shortage of a war camp. And once we go, it is very likely to attract more attacks from the main forces of the Qi army. Even if we pass this hurdle, Zhou Jiyun's troops have been waiting in the direction of the six eastern counties. It can be said that they are fighting hard every battle."

"Even if I fight hard every time, I will not go to Jinghu County." Min Ruoying's face was a little ferocious, "Kill, kill, kill, kill Fenghuang Mountain, and kill the six eastern counties. I will return to Shangjing City from the six eastern counties."

"Your Majesty, I still feel that I have a greater sense of going to Jinghu. Cheng Shuai will not dare to disobey Your Majesty." Yang Qing said boldly.

"Don't dare? He already dares." Min Ruoying sneered: "Whenever he is a man with a king and father in his heart, will he withdraw his troops back to Jinghu when his king and father are still trapped in Luzhou? If Zhou Jiyun did not want to seize the merits of Kunling Pass, but led his main force to Luzhou to join the siege of siege of us, can we still break out of the siege of Luzhou? This time, I was lucky, Cao Yun was very good at shaking the master, and after this battle, he would inevitably leave his post. In order to seize more merits to seize Cao Yun's position, Zhou Jiyun would not go to Luzhou, but first sent the main force to seize Kunling Pass, and then led the cavalry to encircle and suppress An Ruhai. In this way, his merits of Kunling Pass were real, and to encircle and suppress An Ruhai would inevitably gain the support of most of the nobles and gentry of Qi. If it weren't for Zhou Jiyun's little thoughts, I could still break out of the siege, dream!"

Yang Qing's face changed color. No matter what, the emperor's inference made sense.

"Yang Qing, you are my confidant, and I have nothing to hide from you. When I was a prince, Cheng Wu did not support me. He privately commented on me, and I didn't know. But I still endured all this. Although he removed his position as commander of the Eastern Frontier Army, he still offered him high and respected him. He even re-appointed him last year. Unfortunately, this person's hatred for me seemed to have not been eliminated at all, but was buried deep in his heart. Whenever he had the chance, he would hurt me. Hehe, he is probably hoping that I will die in Luzhou now, so that he can legitimately support my son to ascend the throne, and then "take power and be a supreme emperor?"

Yang Qing's face changed drastically. What Min Ruoying said was too heartbroken. Yang Qing didn't even dare to think about it.

"Why dare I go to Jinghu? Zeng Lin, the governor of Jinghu County, was Yang Yihe's remnant. At that time, he was very tactful and sensible, and his reputation in Jinghu County was very high, so I did not touch him. Now that I have such a good opportunity, I will not catch this person? I think I must be colluding with Cheng Wuben. If I go to Jinghu, wouldn't I fall into the trap?"

"Your Majesty has 40,000 Fire Phoenix Army. What are you afraid of going to Jinghu? Cheng Wuben and Zeng Lin really have the intention of being disobedient, and they can be broken up in one go." Yang Qing still wanted to persuade Min Ruoying to go to Jinghu. He didn't believe from the bottom of his heart that Cheng Wuben was rebelling, and with 40,000 Fire Phoenix Army on his side, this powerful force is enough to make any rebel think twice before acting.

"Yang Qing, if I don't believe you deeply, if you say these words, I will doubt whether you are a fellow member of Cheng Wuben!" Min Ruoying said sternly.

Yang Qing was shocked and knelt down with a loud voice: "Your Majesty, there is only Your Majesty in your heart, and you will only be loyal to Your Majesty in this life."

Min Ruoying said in a dark voice: "I know, so I don't blame you. If you don't command the army, you naturally don't know the specific situation of Jinghu. The Huofeng Army is a cavalry. What can it do when you go to a place full of ditches, rivers and lakes like Jinghu? Cheng Wuben first arrived in Jinghu. As long as he mastered a cruising army, the 40,000 Huofeng Army could not advance or retreat."

"It's my subordinate who is stupid." Yang Qing kowtowed.

"Go and invite Luo Shuai over and all the generals of the Fire Phoenix Army." Min Ruoying ordered, "Wanzhou cannot go, we must fight a bloody road before we can go home."

Outside Jinghu County, the county magistrate Zeng Lin welcomed Cheng Wuben, who had retreated from Qi State.

Zeng Lin, an old minister of the state of Chu, was over 60 years old. She was a rank-in official who was extremely dependent during Yang Yihe during his political period. A few years ago, during the incident in Shangjing, Zeng Lin saw the opportunity very quickly. After Yang Yihe fell, he immediately wrote to the court to express his loyalty and finally saved his wealth, life and official position. At that time, Min Ruoying also urgently needed such a person as a role model to indicate the correctness of his position and the will of the people, so Zeng Lin still received a lot of praise. Later, when Min Ruoying settled down and wanted to replace Zeng Lin, she could not find any handle for this person.

It is definitely not possible to say that he is Yang Yihe's family, because Min Ruoying himself issued an order to commend him before, but he couldn't catch him if he wanted to seize his little braid in governance. This person has a very high hope in Jinghu, and he could not help but drag it down.

"Brother Cheng, I have worked hard all the way!" Looking at Cheng Wuben with a tired look on his face, Zeng Lin greeted him and bowed to him.

"Brother Zeng!" Cheng Wuben smiled bitterly: "The Great Chu country has been established for more than a hundred years. The most dangerous time has come. I hope you will overcome the difficulties with me and protect the Chu country." Cheng Wuben didn't say nonsense and said straight: "I am planning to build the second line of defense of Great Chu in Jinghu, and I need the great help of Brother Zeng."

"I already know this and have made corresponding preparations. Jinghu County has mobilized all the county and the county soldiers have entered a state of war. However, their ability is okay to fight. I don't have to think about it if I expect them to defeat the enemy. And I also mobilized me and began to strengthen the walls of various prefectures and counties, build defense lines, and just wait for Brother Cheng to return." Zeng Lin said: "To be honest, I really don't want to see Brother Cheng appear in front of me."

Cheng Wuben did not hear Zeng Lin's last sentence clearly, "Brother Zeng has such a strategic vision and has made preparations in advance. That's great. In this way, Cheng has a few more confidence."

Zeng Lin smiled bitterly: "I don't have the ability to let me govern one side. Then I hold a handful in my hand. If I want me to be in charge of military affairs, I will be blind. The reason why I made these preparations was because Princess Zhaohua wrote me a long letter. She said that Cheng Shuai would inevitably lead his troops to Jinghu. Princess Zhaohua even raised millions of taels of military expenses and hundreds of thousands of dan of military rations for Cheng Shuai in Quanzhou. Now these are sealed in our county treasury."

"Princess Zhaohua?" Cheng Wun's face changed slightly. Princess Zhaohua was the queen of the Ming Dynasty. However, the great Chu fell to such a level, but the Ming Dynasty was also fueled by the fire. At this time, after hearing Zeng Lin's words, his heart was really sour.

"Yes, not only that, Princess Zhaohua also convinced the Ning clan in Quanzhou, Cheng Shuai, I will introduce it to you. This is Ning Zhiwen, the head of the Ning clan. The state is in trouble. The leader of the Ning clan led more than a hundred battleships, and thousands of sailors and a member of the Quanzhou Navy came to Jinghu together, hoping to be the front guard under Cheng Shuai."

An old man stood behind Zeng Lin and stepped forward, holding his fists and bowed: "Ning Zhiwen from Quanzhou, see the Grand Commander of the Process."
