Chu Yunning raised her eyebrows. These two were indeed brothers and sisters. They were both virtuous and turned against each other.

"Miss, it's better to kill Princess Yu'an in the first place to avoid future troubles." Bixiu looked angry.

Chu Yunning had her own plan, and pursed her lips: "This matter is not urgent for the time being. Princess Yu'an does not dare to mess around."

There are several kinds of poisons on her body. Although it has not taken effect yet, once it does, without an antidote, she will be in agony.

"Go and send a message to Princess Yu'an. Tell her that there are only 50,000 taels of gold under the abandoned temple. You can give half of it to the princess. When the princess unearths the gold hidden by the deposed prince in Nanyang City, she must share it with me."

Bixiu was puzzled. The deposed prince only mentioned the gold under the ruined temple, not Nanyang City.

"Go ahead."

"yes!"

Princess Yu'an frowned when she received the reply. The two people said different things. Who told the truth and who lied?

"What did the deposed prince say?"

The guard replied: "Back to the princess, the deposed prince is still the same as before, insisting that there is only one hundred thousand taels of gold hidden in the ruined temple."

This is not right!

At this time, Crown Prince Li Mingyu stepped forward: "Princess, the deposed prince is cunning and cunning. His words cannot be trusted. Maybe he wants to provoke you into a fight with Chu Yunning."

Princess Yu'an also thought of this.

"Since Chu Yunning can give you twenty-five thousand taels of gold, and also told you the next hiding place, it shows that this statement is credible. The most important thing is that the deposed prince has no value to Chu Yunning."

Li Mingyu analyzed that if there was really any hatred, just kill him directly, why let him go again.

"What you said makes sense. The deposed prince is narrow-minded and not a good person at all. He hates Chu Yunning and me. He wants to fight between us."

Princess Yu'an believed Chu Yunning's words, and was furious at the deposed prince's schemes. She raised her voice and ordered: "This bitch, you still dare to plot against me. Come here, give the deposed prince a hard time."

Li Mingyu stepped forward and patted Princess Yu'an on the shoulder: "Now the south end does occupy a dominant position. We should not offend her. The gold should be treated as a filial piety to Chu Yunning. It will not be too late to settle some accounts in the future."

Hearing this, Princess Yu'an nodded.

Chu Yunning received a reply that day. The letter stated that he didn't want the gold, so he returned it to Chu Yunning as a favor.

"Young lady is so amazing, you actually don't take anything from her." Bixiu admired Chu Yunning.

Chu Yunning burned all the letters: "I just feel sorry for the deposed prince, I don't know how many days he can survive."

After enjoying happiness for more than twenty years, he was tortured to death.

God is really wise!

"How are the cotton-padded clothes and quilts prepared?"

"As far as I can tell you, Miss, I have already gone shopping privately, and those who were unqualified in previous years will all be redistributed this year."

Chu Yunning nodded and calculated according to Xiuxiu's words, Dongling should be attacking, but there was no movement at all.

Could it be that everything Xiuxiu said was false?

at night

Chu Yunning was suddenly awakened by the sound of rapid footsteps.

"What happened?"

She asked as she put on her clothes and lit a fire.

"Go to the front hall and take a look. It is said that several villages in the border town were hit, with numerous casualties."

Hearing this, Chu Yunning's eyelids twitched.

She couldn't wait to rush to the next door. There were already several soldiers in the room, all with sullen faces and angry looks.

"Your Majesty, Dongling is so despicable!"

"This battle must be fought!"

Only then did Chu Yunning understand the situation. The prince's camp in Nancheng was out of food and cotton-padded jackets. He led his troops to sneak attack on several villages in the south near Dongling overnight, plundering along the way.

Not only did they rob people of life-saving food, they also killed many people.

The bodies of men, women, old and young were all over the ground, and blood flowed into rivers.

When Chu Yunning heard this, he felt a surge of anger rushing to Tianling Gaier, and he clenched his fists tightly: "This is unreasonable!"

No wonder it's stopped in the past few days. It turned out to be to grab something.

Emperor Mingwen stared blankly without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, I don't know where Dongling got the weapons. They don't need manpower and are very lethal. Those people have no ability to resist at all. A whole village was just slaughtered."

When the news was received, those villages had already been wiped out.

Some even cooperated with the imperial court.

Grow vegetables, raise chickens and ducks and send them to the border.

Chu Yunning's whole body trembled when he thought of this. He looked at the river across the map, which was the border between the two countries.

"The river is frozen and not solid, so we can't cross it. The Nancheng Prince's side is really difficult to defend and attack, unless someone outflanks the Nancheng Prince from behind and blocks the Nancheng Prince's escape."

"It can't be that easy. This road is either mountains or big rivers."

Emperor Mingwen sneered in his heart. The southern end was sandwiched between Yunlan, Dongling, and the West Sea. The four countries were waiting to watch, waiting for the other parties to fight, and then pick up what was ready.

Therefore, no one dared to act rashly for a while.

"Your Majesty, Yunlan can no longer spare many troops, and Xihai has just made peace with us. If we want to attack Dongling, wouldn't it be more than enough?" someone suggested.

Others also agreed, saying that this battle can be fought.

Chu Yunning originally agreed to fight, but just now, she suddenly smelled a hint of conspiracy.

He winked at Emperor Mingwen.

"Step back first, please wait patiently."

Emperor Mingwen waved his hands to several people and waited for them to leave. Chu Yunning immediately said: "I now suspect that Dong Ling is cheating all of us in a game of chess."

"What do you mean?"

"If the prince of Nancheng had not broken with Dongling, everything in front of him would be superficial.

Well, Dongling deliberately led us to attack the Crown Prince of Nancheng, and there might be thousands of troops waiting for us behind the scenes."

"Or perhaps Tanglin has already negotiated cooperation with other countries and is waiting for us to come to our doorstep. Judging from the terrain at the southern end, as long as we mobilize our troops, the other two countries may launch a sneak attack."
