Yu Yalan was about to send someone to send a message to Song Xi, telling him the latest situation in Xijing and all the information collected.

At this time, Duan Zhenjun sent a secret message from Yanzhou Mansion, saying that the eldest prince had assigned Duan Zhenwu a new task.

Yu Lin Mansion was in danger of being destroyed due to lack of food and grass. This important military information was actually reported back to the capital a month ago.

Tan Ziqian had requested grain and grass support from the court several times, but the emperor's order was for him to contact Fan Yuanqing to collect grain on the spot.

The princes who are eager to compete for military power and increase their bargaining chips for the heir apparent have naturally received relevant news. With their personalities and plans, how could they miss such a good opportunity to seize power?

The result was as seen later, the second prince and Fan Yuanqing used food and grass resources to force Tan Ziqian to surrender, but Tan Ziqian firmly refused the solicitation.

The eldest prince now took advantage of the situation and told Duan Zhenwu to secretly capture Tan Ziqian's two direct grandchildren and use them as bargaining chips to blackmail them into surrender. As long as Tan Ziqian agreed to recruit, Duan Zhenwu would be asked to support him with food, grass and troops. If he was stubborn and refused,

If you bow your head, then send the direct grandson of the Tan family to the Tatars.

Yu Yalan frowned and sat in meditation, carefully considering how to deal with it.

The eldest prince is ruthless, often makes vicious plans, and has an urgent desire for military power in the northwest. It can be seen that his great cause of seizing the throne is not going smoothly.

Although Concubine He favored the Sixth Palace, she could not have much influence on the battles in the court. Emperor Yuanfeng was greedy for life and power, and he has not yet decided on the heir apparent.

After the collapse of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion, the military power of the Song family fell into the hands of the Duke of Lu. On the surface, the Duke of Lu was a loyal minister of the emperor, but secretly he never refused the solicitations and interactions with the princes, and was tactful and cunning in his dealings.

, the wallowing style will surely make the princes restless.

The eldest prince and the second prince worked hard at Jiji, but in the end they failed to divide the military power of the Hou Mansion. Now that the battle for the legitimate heir became more and more intense, they turned their attention to Tan Ziqian.

Qin Xi is now under the control of Liuhe Villa, and the two princes still don't know that her deployment in the northwest has been completely destroyed by her. Maybe she should take this opportunity to concentrate her efforts and give them a head-on blow!

Yu Yalan raised her head and looked at the secret letter on the desk, a calculating light flashing in her delicate eyes.

The disciples of the Wu family have been proud for too long, it's time to taste despair!

The thin plain hand-held pen was dipped in ink, and he wrote words on the letter paper smoothly.

The news and plans were gathered into a long letter, dried gently and put into an envelope.

"Mu Yang."

"exist."

"Let Fan Yuanqing write two secret letters accusing the eldest prince and the second prince, and then send them to Yu Lin together with my letters. Give Fan Yuanqing an order to assassinate the Tatar general, and ask him to go to Yu Lin to follow Brother Song's arrangements.

"

"yes."

Mu Yang took action immediately after receiving the order, and sent three letters to Yu Lin together with Fan Yuanqing that night.

In order to hide the plan from others, Mu Yang also made a perfect disguise for Fan Yuanqing. Lei Bin personally escorted Fan Yuanqing with more than a dozen secret guards, fearing that there would be even the slightest mistake in this important plan.

Yu Yalan stood on the attic of the Fan family and looked far into the distance, the late spring breeze gently blowing over her beautiful face.

Looking up at the bright moon hanging high in the night sky, waves of longing gradually overwhelmed my mind.

"Although I don't know how much blow this plan will bring to them, those two cruel and despicable princes will definitely have no hope of competing for the throne. I only hope that satisfactory news can come from the capital to calm Song Song a little.

The pain and hatred in the big brother’s heart.”

…

Song Xi was unaware of his sweetheart's longing and murmurings. At this moment, he was in the camp of the commander-in-chief Yu Lin's garrison, eating shabu-shabu delicacies around the stove with Tan Ziqian.

Tan Ziqian snored and ate happily, and kept picking up the food in the pot with the chopsticks in his hands. The delicious heat flowed down the esophagus and warmed his stomach, and the chill all over his body was quickly dissipated.

"Good boy, you still have such a good thing! If you didn't use it earlier to honor your uncle, I'm going to be starving after sleeping in the open air!"

A helpless smile appeared on Song Xi's lips, and her eating posture was still elegant and calm.

"General Tan can enjoy it every day if he likes it. The food and grass I brought this time are very sufficient. Yu Lin's soldiers will no longer suffer from hunger, and your injury will get better as soon as possible."

Tan Ziqian raised his head and drank half a bowl of mellow rice wine. He raised his hand to wipe the wine from his beard, and his sighing tone could not hide the sadness and hesitation.

"I'm drunk today, and I'll be worried tomorrow! I couldn't help the old Song Dynasty when he was in trouble, but I didn't know that I was in trouble, but I was saved by the son of my old friend! But I, Tan Ziqian, was a border garrison general in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Why was it not the imperial court that provided me with food and grass?

And the monarch, but a young boy who can't protect himself?"

Song Xi pursed his lips and put down the bowl and chopsticks. He was silent for a while and sighed: "If General Tan is in trouble, I can always provide you with food and grass. Now there is a severe drought in the north and there is no harvest. Whether you pay for the food yourself, or

Or ask the imperial court for support. I'm afraid there won't be any good news this year. I do have a lot of reserves there, and it's worth providing them to you. After all, you fought bloody battles to defend the border, so I should do what I can to help.

.”

Tan Ziqian patted Song Xi's back vigorously, his face full of regret.

"You didn't even want to call me 'Shibo', so why did you give me food and grass? Do you regret that I didn't help your father and watched him being plotted and killed?"

Song Xi suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Tan Ziqian, with some surprise and surprise in his eyes.

Tan Ziqian snorted angrily and said dissatisfied: "What? I'm surprised to know that Lao Song was framed? Although I am just a reckless military commander, my immersion in officialdom for so many years is not in vain! It's a shame that I can't

Leave your post without permission, otherwise you can go to the capital and argue with Wu Zongmin! No matter what, you should save Lao Song from Li Shijie, so that he will not die innocently in the conspiracy!"

The old general in red and black armor hammered his desk desk angrily, his bloodshot eyes were covered with a layer of tears, and the wrinkles on his face and the white hair on his temples were full of exhaustion.

, the whole person exuded an aura of vicissitudes and depression.

The tragedy of Dingbeihou was just the tip of the iceberg that caused the building to collapse. Tan Ziqian could only feel sad because he was unable to do anything.

The fire of this troubled world is now burning on his body. Apart from being angry and disappointed, he can only try his best to struggle in this storm.

Song Xi lowered his deep black eyes and stared intently at the red flames in the stove. The glimmer of light in his eyes flickered on and off, and his low voice sounded like it was bewitching from the abyss.
