A cold light flashed in Ruan Wentong's eyes, and he said, "General, isn't there an old saying in the Yan Kingdom - catch the thief first catch the king."

"Capture the king..."

Xiahou Jiu recited these two words silently, and his heart moved.

"You mean—the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom?"

Ruan Wen Tong said: "The General, the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom, together with his concubine, and his princess, are in Yongzhou City at this moment, this is a golden opportunity. If we can seize them, it will be a once and for all, What are you fighting for?"

Xia Houjiu's heart jumped at the words, and his face was a little red.

However, he was not dazzled by the blood, and he quickly said calmly: "But, after all, that is the emperor, noble concubine, and princess of the Yan Kingdom, and the surrounding area must be heavily guarded, how could it be so easy for us to capture them alive? ?"

Fan Chenggong on the side said, "But last time, didn't the Emperor Yan Kingdom just say that his princess was still kidnapped by that assassin?"

"..."

"It now seems that their guards may not be so strict."

Xia Houjiu was much more calm and composed, and said: "The last time was the last time, that assassin—although we still don't know what his identity is, but he was able to sneak into Yongzhou City alone, he must be not bad, and he was the only one. People, who are holding a princess hostage, must be neat and tidy."

"..."

"However, if our people want to make a move and want to capture the Emperor of the Yan Kingdom alive, how can it be that simple."

"..."

"What's more, they will definitely strengthen their vigilance after the last lesson."

Fan Chenggong said, "How will you know if you don't try it."

Xia Houjiu glanced at him.

Nguyen Van Dong also said, "Yes, General, this is a shortcut. As long as we get through it, we will have no difficulties in front of us. However, it will take some effort to take shortcuts. You have to pay for it."

Xia Houjiu's heart was also moved by what they said.

Indeed, who doesn't want to take shortcuts? What's more, he is standing on the edge of the cliff now, and his private alliance with the Yan Kingdom has been suspended in the middle. He still doesn't know what will happen if it breaks out. In addition, if the war continues, it will not wait for the people of the Yan Kingdom to come to the door. Come, the food and grass problem will crush them first.

However, all of this can be solved by taking a shortcut.

Such a huge temptation made him a little uncontrollable. He thought about it and looked at Ruan Wentong: "Then, what is the strategy of the military advisor?"

Ruan Wen smiled with the same smile, lowered his voice immediately, and whispered in his ear.

Xia Houjiu's eyes lit up when he heard it.

He nodded again and again: "Yes, yes."

Fan Chenggong, who was on the side, also said: "The strategy of the military division is feasible. The most important thing is that Chen Wenxiong's group cannot be allowed to sit back and enjoy the success. They must also be moved."

Xiahou said: "That's right. You immediately send an order for Chen Wenxiong to send troops, and tell them by the way that if they don't send troops this time, then the general will break into Chen's house and go to your majesty to ask for orders in person."

"Yes!"

Fan Chenggong immediately turned around and left.

In less than half an hour, the news reached the Chen residence.

Chen Wenxiong had just mobilized 20,000 horses to Doubei Town. He originally thought that everything would be safe, but he didn't expect that he would face Li Wuyu's body when he came back.

There were several boxes of ice cubes stacked in the house, and even a few bags of ice cubes were stacked on the bed with a sack.

The whole room was as cold as an ice cellar.

A few of them were wrapped in thick furs, and they couldn't help shivering inside, especially looking at the icy corpse on the bed with a blue face, Chen Wenxiong frowned and turned his face to one side.

He gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."

Chen Biri had pulled away from the shock, and said coldly, "At this time, don't talk nonsense."

Chen Wenxiong's mind turned quickly, and he immediately said: "Nephew knows, this matter must not be spread outside, and the people outside have stabilized."

Chen Wenxiao said: "But, the news from Xiahoujiu just now calls for us to send troops, this-"

Chen Biri frowned and said, "There's nothing you can do about it."

Both looked at him: "Uncle?"

Chen Biri said: "At this time, we can't push Xiahou Jiu too hard. If we push too hard, if he really breaks in, then things will be difficult to handle. If before, His Majesty was still alive. , we can say anything, he just takes a step in and it's a big treason. But now, if we really let him know about this, it's bound to be unkind."

Both his nephews fell silent.

Chen Biri looked at them, thought for a while, and then said, "Wen...Wen Xiao, you should lead the troops."

The cold air in the room condensed.

Chen Wenxiao looked up at him, and then looked at Chen Wenxiong beside him.

He smiled, as if he accepted this arrangement calmly, and immediately got up and said to Chen Biri, "Then, it's all up to my uncle to sit here."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Looking at his back, the two people in the room were trapped in the icy air. Although they were wrapped in thick furs, there was an indescribable chill that penetrated their muscles. However, the chill was not from the outside. from their hearts, but from their hearts.

In fact, at this time, even if they didn't say a word, the three of them understood the current situation.

Chen Wenxiong and Chen Wenxiao understood better, Chen Biri's choice.

When Li Wuyu died, his brothers had already died in the turmoil that year. He was the only one who survived and was able to inherit the throne. Now, he has no heirs, and the throne will inevitably fall.

Since this is the case, it is naturally the most powerful person in the country of Yue.

Now that Chen Biri has shut Xiahoujiu out, he will definitely not let him get involved, and the rest are the people of their Chen family.

Chen Biri himself is very old, and even if he wants to take the position, he will not have much time. He must consider his successor, and he has no children like Li Wuyu. The only two cronies who stay by his side are these two nephew.

He must have chosen one of them.

In the current situation, only by staying in Doubei Town, by Li Wuyu's side, and by the person closest to the center of power, can it be possible to look at the overall situation and issue orders.

He chose Chen Wenxiong.

As for Chen Wenxiao, since he was sent to lead the army, he was asked to give up the battle for the throne this time.

Chen Wenxiong was ecstatic in his heart, but seeing Chen Wenxiao's unresponsive appearance when he left, he became a little worried and said, "Uncle, big brother he—"

Chen Biri said, "No matter what, things are settled now."

"..."

"Do what you have to do."

Chen Wenxiong said happily: "Yes!"
