The Villain Becomes The White Moonlight

Chapter 44

After all, Cheng Yu is King Cheng, and it is too dangerous to stay in the capital of the original country in his current status.After reaching an agreement with Du Yan, Cheng Yu left his original country the next day and returned to Cheng country to prepare for follow-up matters.

In February, Jiang Cheng and the two countries, which had been coveting for a long time, declared war on the Yuan country.

In March, the frontier war situation reached a stalemate.

Cheng Yu's plan went well, but Du Yan encountered a lot of trouble.An extremely important part of the plan, his grandfather, the general, refused to cooperate.

The queen handed the secret letter in her hand to Du Yan. This letter was written by the general who came from the frontier, and it was stated that Du Yan would personally sign it.

Du Yan didn't shy away from the queen, and started to read it carefully. The meaning of the book was not beyond his plan.What is said in the letter is mostly a matter of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.

The general made it clear that Yuan Jue was imprisoned, and the other princes were still young, so no one could compete with him for the throne. He persuaded Du Yan not to act too hastily, lest he be infamous for killing the king and father.

After reading it, Du Yan folded the letter paper and lit it on the oil lamp: "Mother, don't worry, I already expected that my grandfather would not compromise so easily. I heard that my grandfather sent a letter to my uncle. What did the letter say? "

The queen sighed softly: "The letter from father to brother is much more severe than the letter you have in hand. In the letter, he scolded brother bloody."

Du Yan smiled: "Grandpa is still so upright, it's okay, let me convince grandpa."

When the queen heard the words, she sighed and said, "At present, only you can persuade father, and you have been the only one who can make him back down since he was a child."

General Wu Qi's fiery personality is well known to everyone. He is upright and stubborn, but he treats Du Yan differently.

The queen was about to get a pen and paper, but was stopped by Du Yan: "Mum, this matter is very important, I plan to go see my grandfather."

The great general had fought side by side with the former king to win the supremacy of the original country, and he had a deep friendship with the former king, and he was loyal to the former king.

It's just that after the original king came to the throne, he had a lot of suspicions about the general, and he has been slowly dispersing the military power in the hands of the Wu family.

Although the general has a straight temper, he is not an idiot.For King Yuan's heart and to show his loyalty, he married his daughter to King Yuan and left his son in the capital to be in charge of city defense.

A son and a daughter seem to be infinitely beautiful on the surface, but in fact they are all to appease the hostages left by the original king in the capital.

Even so, the narrow-minded Yuan Wang still regards the Wu family as a thorn in his side, and the Du Yan brothers and sisters are not actually the queen's first child.

When the queen was pregnant with her first child, a medical official said that the fetus in the womb was probably a prince.Soon after, the queen lost her baby for some reason, although the wife who did it after that was demoted to a commoner by the original king.

However, the queen later investigated the truth. The lady was just a knife in the hands of the original king, and the real behind-the-scenes instigation was the original king.Only then did the queen give birth to dragon and phoenix twins, but the queen raised Du Yan as a woman.

This matter left a shadow in the loyal heart of the general, even though he still guarded the frontier for the original country, a bit of resentment inevitably arose in his heart.Although the secret letter he sent back was stern, it was not so much reprimanding Lieutenant Wu as a warning to himself with such words.

What Du Yan has to do now is to be the last blow that breaks the general's defense.

When the Queen heard that Du Yan said that she would go to the frontier in person, she was a little worried: "It's a long way to go, what name will you use to leave the palace, so as not to arouse the king's suspicion?"

Now that the border war is urgent and the general has a large army, the original king's fear of the Wu family has reached its peak.Any changes in the Queen or Lieutenant Wu who stayed in the capital as hostages would arouse his vigilance.

"Now that the war is at a stalemate, it's a good time to go to Qizi, a master of yin and yang, to pray for blessings." Du Yan said, "Your Majesty will definitely not allow my mother to leave, so I am naturally the one to do my part."

"According to what you said, I will write a book and send it to Qi Zi."

A few days later, the eldest princess was worried about the frontier war, so she went to the yin and yang master Qi Zi to meditate and pray for the country.

Licheng is the southernmost county town of the Yuan Kingdom, and across the mountains is the Jiang Kingdom territory.

Now the army of the original country is stationed thirty miles away from Licheng, facing the coalition forces of Jiang Cheng and the two countries across the mountain.

After the war reached a stalemate for a period of time, the granary in Licheng had already bottomed out, and it was about to be unable to supply the needs of the army.Just at this time, grain and grass supplies from the capital arrived at the border.

The governor of Licheng was ecstatic, and said that he would treat the escort who brought life-saving food and grass well.However, the escort said that the envoy from the capital had gone to the army camp to deliver orders, and all matters need to be discussed after the envoy returns.

At the same time, the envoy of the original king, who was wearing a cloak, followed the king's order and went straight into the army camp, and entered the commander's tent in the center.

The general was standing in front of the map, studying the situation of the war, and when he heard that an envoy from the capital was coming, he put down his affairs to greet him.The one who didn't want to come in was a man in a cloak who seemed to hide his head and show his tail.

The general had been in the army all his life, and he realized something was wrong in an instant. He pressed the dagger on his waist with his right hand and shouted: "Who are you? Why do you have to hide your head and show your tail like this when the capital comes here?"

The visitor was not in a panic, but lifted his cloak slowly, revealing a handsome face: "Grandfather."

The general was taken aback for a moment, and after careful study for a while, he reluctantly called out: "Yan'er?"

It's no wonder the general didn't recognize his grandson for a while, he had been stationed in the frontier for a long time, and the last time he met Du Yan was when he was ten years old.

That's Du Yan, still dressed as a girl, standing with Yuan Ning is a pair of twin sisters.

Now the young man in front of him is wearing a brocade robe with black background and black pattern, his face has been camouflaged, his complexion is slightly dark, his eyebrows are flying into his temples, and his figure is as tall and straight as a pine.No one standing here would be able to see that Mr. Pianpian is the domineering eldest princess in the capital.

The general withdrew his hand from his waist, and wanted to go outside the tent to check whether it was convenient to speak at this time.

Du Yan saw his intention and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, those who stay outside the tent are my confidantes, so don't worry about speaking."

Only then did the general ask: "The matter in the frontier is at a time of war, why are you here messing around?"

"Grandfather, Yan is no longer a child, and he knows the seriousness of the matter." Du Yan said, "I came here to be a lobbyist."

The general was impatient, and raised his eyebrows: "You want to be like your uncle, and bring up those absurd things, and let me go out right now. I won't kick you out of the account myself later."

Du Yan was not annoyed, the old god walked aside and sat down: "Grandfather, please sit down. I brought good wine from the capital."

The general frowned slightly, and sat down with a bit of anger.

Du Yan clapped his hands lightly, and someone brought in several jars of wine.

After the visitor retreated, Du Yan said again: "In the barracks, it's not appropriate to drink recklessly, you and I, grandparent and grandson, have a drink?"

The general nodded, and took out two bronze nobles from under the table.After the two had a drink together, they began to get to the point.

The general said: "Your uncle's actions are too reckless. If the incident of forcing the palace goes wrong, it will be a matter of ransacking the family and exterminating the family. Don't listen to his nonsense."

Du Yan said, "Grandfather, these are all my plans, and uncle is just following my plan."

When the general heard this, his thick eyebrows were tightly frowned, wanting to scold.It's just that when he thought about his grandson, who was forced to pretend to be a girl to raise him since he was a child, he always felt a little bit of pity in his heart.

When Du Yan saw that the general suppressed his anger, he knew that today's matter was done.

"Do you know that what you are planning is an act of treason and tyranny."

"Yan knows." Du Yan responded indifferently, and raised his hand to pour the wine again, "What does my grandfather think the Wu family should do?"

"Your Majesty is only at the age of [-], and I am sixteen years old. Although I can pretend to be a woman and survive until today, my body and voice have changed drastically, and I can no longer hide my identity."

The general said: "Cheng Guo tore up the covenant and formed an alliance with Jiang Guo instead. Your Majesty dare not touch my Wu family easily."

"If we win this battle, our country's supremacy will be confirmed, and all birds will be hidden. If we lose, we will cede the land and seek peace, and the general will be the country's sinner. There is not much time left for the Wu family."

Du Yan picked up the bronze cup and drank it down: "Grandfather, let me ask one more question, what exactly are you loyal to?"

The general did not answer directly, but said: "I just don't want to be in the history books and bear the eternal infamy."

Du Yan smiled: "If the Wu family falls, you will bear eternal infamy. History books are always written by the winner."

The general fell silent and drank three cups in a row.Du Yan knew that the most critical moment had come.

He clapped his hands lightly again, and someone entered in response.

A tightly bound and comatose person was thrown to the ground in embarrassment.

"Grandfather, look, do you know this person before?"

The general was surprised again when he heard the words: "This is the secret envoy that the king usually uses to convey the king's orders."

"I took his identity this time and came here among the grain and grass escorts." Du Yan took out a secret letter from the lapel of his clothes, "This letter is the king's secret order, but the recipient is not a foreigner. Zu, you are the lieutenant general of the army."

The general had known for a long time that the deputy general belonged to the original king, just to reassure the king, he always pretended not to know about it, and let the deputy general report the situation to the original king.

The general took the secret letter and unfolded it. He was very familiar with the handwriting on the paper, and the private seal at the end was the jade wrench that the king wore on his thumb and never left his body.

The content of the secret letter is very simple, so that the deputy will forge the evidence of the general's private communication with the enemy country, and push all the crimes of the deadlock in the war to the general.

Du Yan watched the general's fingers tremble slightly, and his face showed a bit of fatigue.He didn't make another sound, just lowered his eyes, looking at the bronze title in his hand.

After a long time, the general said, "According to your plan, how should we deal with this secret envoy."

Du Yan smiled, he knew the general's pun, and the purpose of this trip has been achieved: "Isn't it normal for the general to be defeated and the emissary killed in the chaos?"
