A group of people rushed forward, but were quickly subdued.

"We have been hunting in the village for so many years, and we have never seen you so shameless!"

The guard stepped on one person with great force.

Seeing this, the remaining people had no choice but to give up and retreat. Someone took out a fire stick. Before he could light it, the guards pushed him into the snowdrift and stepped on his shoulder.

There was a crunching sound of bones breaking. If it weren't for Chu Yunning's instructions not to kill people, these people would have died countless times.

"Get out of here!"

A group of people pushed away the food and ran away cursing.

The frightened old man was trembling and unable to shout. He knelt in the snow and cried helplessly.

The guard stepped forward to help the old man up and gave him a bag of rice.

"I guess I won't dare to come again next time. These are just rogue bandits, not soldiers from the south end at all."

An aunt shook her head: "We only hope that the war will end soon. My sister-in-law's house has been looted. The whole family has not eaten for several days. My youngest nephew is almost starving to death. These people are simply beasts!"

"

After hearing this, Chu Yunning clenched her fists.

"Chu Shanggong, can we also attack the villages in Dongling and retaliate in kind?"

Vice General Li was so angry that his teeth were itching. He had burned so many people to death. This account must be settled.

Chu Yunning shook his head: "Then we are so different from these beasts, I have to think of a way."

Chu Yunning was silent all the way, feeling mixed emotions in his mind.

After returning to the military camp, Chu Yunning's anger reached its peak and he could no longer control it.

"Calm down your anger." Emperor Mingwen handed her a cup of tea to help her calm down.

Chu Yunning drank it in one gulp, and it took a while before he got comfortable and told the whole story.

"It's not an option to continue like this. I want to take the risk and give it a try."

An idea popped into Chu Yunning's mind, and the deadlock must be broken.

Emperor Mingwen's eyelids twitched subconsciously.

"I heard that Emperor Dongling is not in good health. Several princes are eyeing the throne. I want to go to Dongling in person."

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Mingwen immediately retorted: "This is too dangerous. I can't guarantee your safety at all."

Chu Yunning bit her lip: "I can wear a human skin mask."

"That's not possible. When we reach the Dongling realm, I don't have the final say on anything."

"Didn't the Emperor place a chess piece in Dongling? This chess piece is enough."

Emperor Mingwen firmly opposed it. Hui Lu was simply unreliable and cowardly. No matter how smart Chu Yunning was, he still had time to take a nap.

If he was tricked, how would Emperor Mingwen explain to Beibei?

Chu Yunning gritted his teeth: "But now we are in a passive position. Once we mobilize our troops, we will inevitably send out more than half of them, and there will be a sneak attack from behind. Someone must break this deadlock."

"Then you don't have to take the risk yourself."

Emperor Mingwen, with a livid face, refused to allow her to act recklessly.

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Chu Yunning had no choice but to say: "The Prince of Nancheng has 200,000 soldiers and horses, and we only have 300,000 troops stationed at the border. The combined number of other countries has more than three times exceeded ours.

Your Majesty, once the three countries unite, we will not only be passive, but also fall into a desperate situation."

Looking at Chu Yunning's face, Emperor Mingwen suddenly raised a smile at the corner of his mouth: "Maybe it's because of what I've heard, but I still have a way."

Seeing this smile, Chu Yunning's eyelids twitched.

"Among the four countries, the West Sea is closest to us, so we will operate on the West Sea first."

Chu Yunning didn't understand the meaning for a while.

"Xihai and Yunlan are neighboring countries. Although Yunlan was severely damaged and cannot make a comeback in a short time, there are still soldiers and horses. If the people of Xihai dig gold mines in Yunlan, Xihai will definitely attack Yunlan."

When Xihai diverted his attention,

Make plans again.

The corner of Chu Yunning's mouth twitched, does this count as the legendary saying that people who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black?

"The death of the deposed prince is not a pity. This debt will be recorded on the deposed prince."

So Emperor Mingwen asked people to spread rumors. The news he got from the deposed prince was that there was a gold mine in Nanyang City.

After receiving the news, Princess Yu'an immediately rushed over with her people.

At the same time, Hui Lu also received news.

Emperor Dongling is critically ill, and all the affairs of the court are in the hands of Concubine Dugu. This lonely concubine happens to be the biological sister of King Nancheng. She has no children, but she is highly favored.

Concubine Dugu has a big seal on her palm, and she doesn't take anyone seriously at all.

He has even secretly controlled several princes.

Hui Lu sensed something was wrong in advance and hid outside the city and refused to go in, so he was not plotted by Concubine Dugu.

Now Huilu asked Emperor Mingwen for help.

"Your Majesty, can you trust this kind of person?"

Chu Yunning frowned. She was only worried that Hui Lu would not do things as agreed for his own selfish reasons.

"Yes!" Emperor Mingwen said firmly: "His biggest obsession in this life is to be able to recognize his identity and to die openly. This person has hidden his identity and lurked around the deposed prince for so many years. He is definitely not an ordinary person."

So many princes were held hostage by Concubine Dugu, but Hui Lu escaped. What does that mean?

Chu Yunning nodded: "Then what should we do now?"

It is unrealistic to offer help with troops and horses already in place, and none of their soldiers can be lent out anymore.

Emperor Mingwen hesitated for a moment.

At this time, Vice General Li walked in: "Your Majesty, there is a message from Dongling."

...

A group of people returned to the Tangling camp from the south and were celebrating grandly.

They ate the looted food, chickens, ducks and geese, and danced happily.

About two hours later, someone suddenly started to go crazy, took out the knife in his hand and started to kill indiscriminately. No one reacted, and several people were already killed.

"Crazy! Crazy!"

This phenomenon spread from person to person, and within about half an hour, the camp began to become chaotic, and these crazy people were quickly shot to death by random arrows.

When the news reached the ears of Prince Nancheng, Shen Bi came over with a frown.
