Chapter 1100: This kind of thing hurts his family

Zhu Xuan walked heavily back to his camp and sat down heavily on a chair.
The people around were silent for a moment.
They brought people back from Crane City. Although there were not many wounded, the whole camp was filled with a sense of failure, even decadence, which could be seen on everyone's face.
For two days, he had not captured a small crane city.
This is not the result they want.
Zhu Xuan gritted his teeth, and a few words popped out between his teeth: "If this continues, won't the king's road end in this small crane city?!"
"..."
Everyone was silent.
Everyone knows that this should never happen.
Before they allowed the emperor to enter and exit the city of Changqing safely, and even fled the city of Changqing afterwards, they had already made a very bad decision. They had missed the first opportunity. Now, if they can't even get a small crane city. , Then God is really joking with them.
Shi Yiru stepped forward and said softly: "Lord, don't be impatient."
"How can this king be in a hurry!"
Zhu Xuan's face rarely showed an angry expression.
Crane City couldn't attack for a long time. This was not what irritated him the most. What irritated him most was that Zhu Feng did not appear at the top of the city during the two siege battles.
It seemed to be laughing at him.
In the Changqing City, he spent so many soldiers and horses, but he couldn't catch Zhu Feng who was alone.
And now, in this small crane city, Zhu Feng didn't even have to come forward, and he couldn't attack it for a long time!
He gritted his teeth and said: "This king must not stop here."
"of course."
Shi Yiru said in a deep voice, "Master, we have no way out."
"Then immediately think of a way to attack the city and take down Crane City!"
"No!"
"Why?"
Seeing that his eyes were red, Shi Yiru said in a deep voice, "The prince calmly thinks about it. Before he became the throne, his Majesty had guarded the city for more than ten years. There was no one in the entire Great Yan Dynasty. It’s common sense to be more familiar than him, better at it, and unable to attack."
"..."
"But the prince can force him to this place, but also because the prince has the advantages of the prince."
"..."
"If the prince cannot play to his strengths at this moment, then we really have no hope of winning this battle."
"..."
Hearing him say this, Zhu Xuan's anger gradually subsided.
A sly light flashed in his eyes again, looked at Shi Yiru, and said, "What you said is beneficial."
"..."
"Sitting the city, there are indeed not many people in the entire Great Yan Dynasty who are his opponents. This is what the king admits."
"..."
"However, this king's strengths are also not available to him."
As he said, he raised his head, looked at the hazy sky above his head, and muttered: "Crane City, Crane City... Crane City is not as good as Peking. It can be held for so many years, so that the country cannot be attacked for a long time. Crane City is just one The small city is different from Beiping, not only the outer walls and gates, but also the people inside the city."
At this point, a sneer evoked at the corner of his mouth.
Shi Yiru looked at him: "Lord."
Zhu Xuan said: "Pass the order down and let the people below prepare pen, ink and paper, the more the better."
Shi Yiru didn't ask much, just said, "Yes."
Immediately turned and walked down.


Wen Ye walked to the door of Furongju, a few steps away from the door, and he already folded his hands and said loudly: "Weichen begs the concubine empress."
Originally, according to the taboo in the palace, foreign ministers could not ask to see the palace concubine.
But this place is Bieyuan, and now the war is tense, the rules are not so strict. Soon, Ran Xiaoyu walked to the door: "Master Wen, Niang Niang knows that you are coming, and she is already waiting inside. Please come with me. "
"Thank you."
Wen Ye nodded and followed him in.
As soon as I entered Furongju, I heard the crisp laughter of the two children. It was the little monk Mingxin with Princess Xinping on the bed on the other side. The two had a good time.
And Nan Yan, sitting right above.
Wen Ye immediately stepped forward and bowed and saluted: "Meet the concubine empress."
"Master Wen, please get up."
Nan Yan raised his hand and said, "My lord has just come down from the battlefield. You have worked hard, so don't be polite when you come here."
"The courtesy cannot be abandoned."
"Give a seat."
"Thank you noble concubine empress."
Wen Ye confessed his crime and sat slantingly on the chair next to him. Ran Xiaoyu brought refreshments again, but he was obviously not interested in tasting tea and eating. He only lowered his head and said, "Niang Niang, we will come here this time. There is something I want to ask my mother."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
"To be precise, to ask someone."
"Who?"
"Jian Ruocheng."
"...!"
Nan Yan's heart couldn't help but jump.
Jian Ruocheng?
I just asked Ye Wei about him. Not long after, Wen Ye came to ask me about him again?
Nan Yan thought for a while, and said with a smile but a smile: "Master Wen, you and him used to be an official together. If you understand, you should know him better than this palace. How come you come to this palace to inquire about him? ?"
Wen Ye said: "It's true that the Weichen followed the emperor from the Yanwang Mansion. But not long after the emperor ascended the throne, the Weichen was transferred to Jiaodong. After the Weichen left Jinling, Jian Ruocheng entered the court as an official. So, Weichen really doesn't know much about him."
"Oh." Nan Yan nodded and said again: "But why did you suddenly ask him?"
"Because the emperor asked the Weichen about him."
"what?"
Nan Yan's heart jumped again.
But this time, trembling was mostly.
Even Ran Xiaoyu, who was standing on the side, glanced at her involuntarily.
Zhu Feng suddenly asked Jian Ruocheng?
Logically speaking, Jian Ruocheng hasn't appeared in King Ning's camp recently, and it is impossible for Zhu Feng to think of him, so why would he ask him?
Could it be--
Wen Ye said: "After yesterday's battle, the Weichen returned to the other court to report to the emperor about the battle. He suddenly asked Jian Ruocheng if he had been making suggestions for King Ning the other day."
Nan Yan frowned.
Wen Ye said: "Weichen was working as an inspector in Changqing City. I saw in his eyes that he did indeed go to King Ning's command after being removed from office. However, the Weichen did not know much about whether he had made any plans and what he did. ."
"..."
"But Weichen knows that a few days ago, the empress was brought to Prince Ning's Mansion by King Ning, and she should have seen something."
"..."
"So, I want to ask my mother."
"..."
"If he didn't do those things, the minister would have to explain it to the emperor. After all, this matter seems to be a trivial matter now, but in the future, it will be a major sin."
Nan Yan listened, was silent for a while, and said, "Master Wen is a prudent person."
Wen Ye said sternly: "Although Weichen doesn't have much friendship with him, Mr. Jian is a tough guy. Weichen and others admire him very much. They don't want this kind of thing to harm his family."
