Chapter 361 Holding her secret
On the border of Dai Viet, in a village.

In the study, Prince Qi Nangong Chu looked at the message in his hand, his face darkened, and his eyes were shocked!Is this the end of the northern battle between the Marquis of Wu'an and Emperor Mingxi?That night, Emperor Mingxi should have prepared for the defeat of Dai Viet's strategy. With so many people attacking at night, Emperor Mingxi must have been preparing for a long time.How could it be defeated so easily?Those three night attack capabilities shouldn't be so weak!
After a while, Zhou Tai hurriedly walked in, bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, the manpower is ready. Tomorrow they will distract the attention of the northern army as refugees, and then we can cross the border."

"Yeah, okay." Nangong Chu nodded in agreement, but his eyes never left the message in his hand.

Zhou Tai looked at Nangong Chu, who looked solemn, and wondered: "My lord, what's wrong with you? I'm going to Tianqi tomorrow. Is there any danger?"

"Otherwise, are we going to send another message asking Mo Yi to come to Dai Viet? It concerns Miss Xiao, so Mo Yi must be nervous, but he will still come to Dai Viet."

Nangong Chu shook his head: "No, Mo Yi will not come again now. Before the 20 soldiers from Vietnam were sent back, and before what happened to Emperor Ming Xi that night, Mo Yi was afraid that this king would come to Tianqi and disrupt their affairs. That’s why he readily agreed to come to Dai Viet for the appointment.”

"Now, the chaos of that night has passed, and the 20 soldiers of Dai Viet have been sent back. I, the king, will go through Tianqi now, and they will no longer be afraid."

"Furthermore, if I go to Tianqi at this time, I won't be in too much danger. Because Wu Anhou and the others still want to keep me to deal with the internal situation in Dai Viet. If I die in Tian Qi, wouldn't Dai Viet be the Queen Mother alone? Forget it. This situation is not something Marquis Wu An and the others want to see."

Zhou Tai was confused: "My lord, what are you worried about?"

Nangong Chu handed the message to Zhou Tai and said, "Zhou Tai, don't you think Emperor Mingxi's surprise attack that night was defeated too quickly!"

Zhou Tai took the message and looked down at it, and for a moment he murmured: "Yes, the prince said so, and it seems to be true. Emperor Mingxi has been preparing for so long, but it ended in such an anticlimactic end."

Nangong Chu's eyes darkened, and he was confused: "It's like Marquis Wu An and the others have known about it for a long time, and they are waiting for Emperor Mingxi's people to attack at night and catch them."

Suddenly, Nangong Chu frowned, and he had doubts in his heart. Could it be related to Xiao Jinxi's rebirth?This raid had happened before. Xiao Jinxi had known about it for a long time, so she had already prepared countermeasures!

Thinking of this, Nangong Chu frowned even more tightly, and there was an inexplicable tremor in his heart!
Zhou Tai saw the frowning Nangong Chu and hurriedly comforted him: "Your Majesty, the second wife of Marquis Wu'an died to save Marquis Wu'an. It seems that she was unaware of this. It can't be done, Marquis Wu'an." Let the second lady die on purpose."

Hearing this, Nangong Chu also nodded and said: "Well, you are right. Although I and Marquis Wu An are in opposite positions, I believe that Marquis Wu An cannot deliberately let a woman block him. Lower your sword. From this point of view, it seems like you don’t know.”

Zhou Tai said: "Your Majesty, is the dispute between the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and Emperor Mingxi over like this?"

Nangong Chu said: "No, Emperor Mingxi made the surprise attack that night with the intention of blaming Dai Viet, but it ended up without any problems."

"Emperor Mingxi has been planning for so many years, but he has failed time and time again. How can he swallow this sigh of relief! The most important thing is that now, not only has it failed, but he has also lost his imperial prestige in the north."

"You see, there are so many rumors in the Northern Territory now. The military discipline of the Northern Territory army under the rule of Marquis Wu'an is so strict. The poisoning of Marquis Wu'an that day was so well concealed. How come what happened in the Northern Territory military camp that night has been spread everywhere? All of them.”

Zhou Tai was shocked: "My lord, are you saying that Marquis Wu'an allowed the soldiers from the northern border to spread the news?"

Nangong Chu nodded in response: "Yes, that's exactly it."

Zhou Tai was shocked: "Your Majesty, if Marquis Wu An does this, doesn't it mean he has fallen out with Emperor Mingxi?"

Nangong Chu smiled: "It is certain to fall out, but how to do it in a reasonable and justifiable way without being labeled as a rebel. Don't forget, Emperor Mingxi is still the emperor of Tianqi."

Zhou Tai understood instantly and exclaimed: "So this matter was brought up by Prince Yu, plus that night, the Eleventh Prince participated in the capture of Yang Yuqing." Nangong Chu smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Yes, it seems that Tianqi will have another one soon. Something big is going to happen.”

Zhou Tai understood instantly: "That's it."

Then he looked worried: "Your Majesty, although Marquis Wu An and the others do not want you to die in Tianqi, but the battle of Dai Viet failed this time, if Emperor Mingxi knows that you appear in Tianqi, he will probably still cause trouble for you."

Nangong Chu chuckled and said coldly: "He is causing trouble for me! How could I know that it is not me who wants to cause trouble for him! Because of him, Dayue has suffered heavy losses. I still want to settle this debt with him!"

"If I had known he was so useless, I wouldn't have helped him plan for the throne."

"It was much easier for me to pick any of those princes who had strength and support from their mother's family back then than to help him! When other princes ascend to the throne of God, he, Murong Xuan, will be nothing but a helpless person. Damn it, prince, I can take back the blood jade from him!"

Zhou Tai responded: "Your Majesty is right. If it weren't for the Wu'an Marquis Mansion behind the Sixth Prince, Your Majesty would not have helped him. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jinxi turned his back, Emperor Mingxi ascended the throne, and began to lose."

Nangong Chu shouted angrily: "Emperor Mingxi is really useless. He has ascended to the throne of God, and now he is still like this."

"I am really confused! What is the reason why Emperor Mingxi chose to attack the Wu'an Hou Mansion so quickly? This is nothing like the sixth prince who tolerated it for many years."

Zhou Tai responded: "My lord, you are right. Although Emperor Mingxi is also in trouble now, lord, after all, Emperor Mingxi has been planning for so many years. He is more familiar with Tianqi and the north than us. Your lord, when we get to Tianqi, Bian, it’s better to be careful in everything.”

"Besides, there are people in Dai Viet who are watching covetously. Although you have arranged for someone to stay in your house instead of you, you can't hide it for too long after all. You still have to return to Dai Viet as soon as possible, so as not to let anyone who is interested take advantage of it."

Nangong Chu responded: "Yes, I understand. Now I need to meet Mo Yi and Xiao Jinxi first, so that I can have the opportunity to learn more and find a way to make Xiao Jinxi compromise."

Zhou Tai said helplessly: "My lord, why don't you write to Taoist priest Lingxu again? Taoist priest Lingxu knows more about this matter than you. Maybe he will have other ways to make Xiao Jinxi compromise. "

Nangong Chu shook his head: "No, Taoist Master Lingxu made it clear that day that he would no longer be involved in this matter. I have known him for many years and have known each other and helped each other. I can no longer force him on this matter."

"And he has gone back now. If I write about this again, if Ling'er finds out about it, Ling'er is not in good health, I'm afraid it will cause more trouble."

Zhou Tai responded helplessly: "The prince is right. The princess has been waiting for you to pick her up. If she sees the letter from the prince, she will ask carefully about the reason. I am afraid that Taoist Master Lingxu will not be able to hide it from her."

"Yeah." Nangong Chu's eyes dimmed and he sighed, Ling'er, if I hadn't been caught in my footsteps, my master and my wife wouldn't have died, and you wouldn't have lost your parents. I'm sorry for you!After so many years, not only can I not get the blood jade, but there is no news at all about the child. It is because of my incompetence.If that child is alive, you will still have a blood relative in this world, and it is my fault.

Seeing Nangong Chu's sad face, Zhou Tai felt helpless. The prince thought of the past again and comforted softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, wait until we meet Xiao Jinxi and then think of other solutions. After all, you hold her secret in your hands. Woolen cloth."

Nangong Chu smiled: "You are right. We have always been manipulated by Xiao Jinxi, and now I have to make good use of this matter to get back in the game."

Zhou Tai responded: "The prince is right. At least Mo Yi cannot care. As long as they have concerns, the prince will have a chance."
