Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 256: Urgent Secret Letter

It took nearly a quarter of an hour for Ning Wanjun to finish listening to the other party's narration.

Gao Guo's army turned from being ambushed to being ambushed. It can also be said that it has predicted Qi Guo's actions, but the scheduled joint attack allies have not arrived for a long time, which cannot be explained by the opponent's brilliant tactics.

What's even more shocking is that before the final attack, the friendly department clearly sent a signal that they were in place. To achieve this, it is definitely not something that can be achieved by buying one or two senders! If this person's statement is correct, it can only explain one thing - another frontier general, Zuo'an, has completely betrayed Ba Xingtian.

This battle is not so much a encirclement battle between Ba Xingtian and Zuo'an, but a trap set by Zuo'an and the Gao Guo army!

Ning Wanjun suddenly felt a tingling pain in his palm.

She lowered her head, only to realize that due to too much force, her clenched five fingers had pierced the skin.

"Ba Xingtian... what about the others?"

"I don't know..." Zhang Shi replied hoarsely, "It was too chaotic when we broke through. Only four people in my team escaped from Baixi Lake, and the only one who returned to Leizhou Mansion alive was me. One. Master Ba ordered us to leave there alive no matter what, and then tell more people about the traitor...cough cough..."

After that, his voice was hard to distinguish.

The princess poured him a glass of cold water herself and handed it to him. "Take a breath first and drink the water before talking."

There were many questions in her mind to ask, such as where Ba Xingtian would go, such as whether the enemy stopped him... But these words could not be asked after all. Because she knew that, firstly, the other party was just a superintendent, and once they separated because of breaking through, it was impossible to take other people's situation into consideration. The second is that she already had the answer vaguely in her heart - in more than a month, soldiers had already struggled out of the swamp and fled to Jinxia City. If Ba Xingtian was safe and sound, it was impossible for him to be slower than these ordinary soldiers.

In fact, when she heard that Leizhou had fallen, she had a similar premonition. After all, the most common ending for a general in command is to die in battle and shroud in horse leather. But at that time, in order to avoid wavering of her subordinates, she did not show any pessimistic thoughts on the surface, and then covered it up with busy political affairs.

But now, that premonition is getting closer and closer to reality.

"General Zuo'an—have you seen him?" When Ning Wanjun spoke again, her voice was as cold as the wind in the first month.

"As far as I know, his army was also killed and dispersed, and the Leizhou Mansion fell into the enemy's hands almost without any resistance."

"What did you say?" Xu Sanzhong, who was standing by, couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This is the fact that I saw, and after the fall of Leizhou Mansion, the blockade began very soon. I didn't dare to stay longer, so I had to flee overnight."

Zhang Shi clenched his teeth and said, "Your Highness, although I don't know what's going on, Zuo'an shouldn't be alone! The real murderer is probably still hiding behind him!"

"You don't need to say it, I know it all." The princess said in a deep voice, "If the truth of this matter does not come to light, it will definitely not be over."

"Then...please Your Highness." Zhang Shi shook twice, and suddenly fell to one side.

Xu Sanzhong immediately supported him.

"How is he?" Ning Wanjun asked hastily.

"Your Highness, there is nothing serious about this person, it should just be caused by excessive exhaustion." Xu Sanzhong checked and replied, "I have been holding my breath before, and if I relax suddenly, it will easily cause fainting."

"Send someone to the side hall, and find a doctor to take care of it."

"yes."

After explaining to the guards, Xu Sanchong frowned, "Your Highness, I don't understand the humble position. If it's just the first half of the content, it can be understood that Zuo'an is too greedy and wants to dominate the border city. After all, without Mr. Ba, he can't do it alone." It can rely on the fortified city to block the Gao Guo army. But the second half is a bit unbelievable—who has such a great ability to use both the frontier army and the Gao Guo people as pawns in their hands at the same time?"

"Zuo'an is a prudent man by nature, and it is impossible to attack Ba Xingtian based on his own greed alone. Someone must have promised him a lot of benefits, and the reliability is very high." Ning Wanjun said a little anxiously, "In the army The only one who has such influence among them is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince besides Kai Bingbu Shangshu. If the Contract Gao Kingdom is also counted, the latter is basically the only possibility. The question is, what good will the fall of Leizhou do him?"

This question obviously won't be answered for a while, Xu Sanzhong changed the subject, "The matter of General Naha—"

"Don't spread the word, this is just our guess." Ning Wanjun took a deep breath before speaking, "It is also possible that he was seriously injured and was hiding somewhere to recuperate, so the evacuation time was delayed."

"I also feel the same way in humble positions." Xu Youzhan nodded emphatically, "A person with such a fate like him will not fall into the hands of traitors so easily!"

"But the real murderer behind it cannot be tolerated!" Ning Wanjun gritted his teeth, "When I find out the truth, no matter who this person is, I have to—"

"Your Highness!"

Her words were interrupted by a guard who hurried into the inner hall. After a simple salute, the latter presented a letter in front of her with both hands, "The most urgent secret letter is sent from Gyeonggi!"

There are three red lines drawn on the letter, which means that this matter is very important. Although it is impossible to use the post station to expedite the delivery like the government, when encountering such a letter, the people she arranged in Shangyuan will still do their best to press the speed limit. The treatment of urgent flying letter will deliver this letter.

Ning Wanjun broke the seal immediately.

Then she was shocked!

"This...how could it be?"

"Your Highness?" Xu Sanzhong asked in surprise, "Is there anything going on in Gyeonggi?"

"Look for yourself." Ning Wanjun threw the letter on the table.

Xu Sanzhong reached out to pick it up, and after a few glances, he couldn't help but froze in place.

There are only a few sentences in the letter, but each sentence can cause a great disturbance when it is spread out.

"The emperor is critically ill, so he voluntarily announced his abdication, and surrendered the throne to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"His Royal Highness has decided to hold an enthronement ceremony in the near future to formally assume power."

...

Ning Weiyuan closed the door to isolate the noisy disputes of the ministers.

He walked through a series of entrances, and finally stepped into a quiet hall.

In the very center of the hall is a huge Buddha statue. The light from the outside passes through the specially designed high windows, and it just slantly sprinkles on a small area in front of the Buddha statue, illuminating this square inch of land. Compared with the surrounding darkness, this ray of soft light seems to come from the sky, making the Buddha statue look majestic and majestic.

Where the light focused, stood a graceful woman.

She was wearing a set of robes embroidered with many patterns, which seemed extremely luxurious, and she was looking up at the statue in front of her. Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, he slowly turned around.

Following her actions, there was a crisp knocking sound in the hall - it was the abnormal noise from the woman's shoes, as if to accentuate her figure. With a slender iron root.

"Is this the god you believe in?"

Pointing at the Buddha statue, she asked crisply.

"No, Miss Olina." Ning Weiyuan walked to her side, "We don't believe in anyone."
