Chapter 261 Nothing to be afraid of
"Please be at ease, Your Majesty. I have already laid a tight net. Once you are safely in the enclosure, I will lead my personal soldiers to sneak in secretly, try to provoke the Prince of Jin to reveal his true intentions, and then evacuate through the hidden path in the back mountain."
"As for you, my lord, your mission is to publicly announce the ill intentions of the King of Jin as soon as his men enter the enclosure. Use the pretext of the autumn hunt to expose his assassination attempt in the enclosure. By then, the King of Jin's crime of treason will be set in stone."
King Xuan still had some doubts in his heart. After all, life and death were serious matters. "Will King Jin really follow our script?"
At this time, Song Yanyi turned his head slightly and gestured to Su Yan beside him.
Su Yan said nothing, took a step forward, and handed a tightly sealed letter to King Xuan.
"This letter came from a close confidant of the Prince of Jin. According to the letter, after learning of the prince's possible rebellion, the Prince of Jin has mobilized the Cavalry Battalion to the foot of the mountain to wait for orders. The arrow is on the string and ready to be fired at any moment."
After reading the secret letter, King Xuan finally felt relieved and couldn't help laughing. "Okay! Yan Yi, I didn't make a mistake. With your help, King Jin has nothing to fear!"
King Xuan was so excited that he patted Song Yanyi's arm vigorously, "When I win the position of crown prince and rule the world, you will be my most meritorious minister, and I will not treat you unfairly!"
At this moment, a young eunuch hurried into the tent, and his announcement broke the warm atmosphere in the room, "Your Highness, the hunting time has arrived, please prepare to enter the enclosure."
King Xuan walked out of the tent refreshed, all his previous fatigue gone.
As the loud horn sounded, the emperor was the first to ride into the enclosure, followed closely by Prince Xuan and Prince Jin. All the generals were excited and the scene was spectacular.
After everyone dispersed, Song Yanyi calmly mounted his horse and gave orders, "When you see the fireworks signal, immediately announce that the Prince of Jin is rebelling, and at the same time order the Imperial Guards to protect him."
"Yes, sir, leave everything to us."
Song Yanyi led his men and quietly entered the enclosure, but their actions did not escape the eyes of King Jin's spies, who followed them in, and an undercurrent contest began.
As soon as Song Yanyi stepped into the hunting ground, he accelerated suddenly, steering his horse flexibly through the dense forest. Although the followers of King Jin behind him tried their best to catch up, they gradually seemed unable to keep up and their direction became increasingly blurred.
When they crossed another fork in the road, they found that Song Yanyi had disappeared.
Song Yanyi took advantage of the terrain and led the pursuers to the area where the emperor was about to hunt, while he quietly evacuated the enclosure through a hidden path.
Su Yan had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Song Yanyi return safely, she finally put down the stone in her heart. She walked forward quickly and said half-jokingly, "You finally came out. I was really worried that you would be tripped up by King Jin's people!"
Song Yanyi's face remained calm, but a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes. "That depends on whether they have the ability."
Just as the two were about to launch the fireworks signal, Qing An arrived in a hurry and reported anxiously: "Sir, it's bad. There's news from the King of Jin that Miss Cousin has been controlled by them!"
"what?!"
Song Yanyi's expression suddenly turned serious.
"Yu Zhen, the brain trust of the Prince Jin's Mansion, just came forward and said that he had heard that Doctor Bai of Jin Shang Tang was an excellent doctor, so he specially invited her to the hunting ground to treat and pray for the Princess Jin. It is said that she is already close to the foot of the mountain!"
This seemingly reasonable explanation actually told them that Xu Cui Rong had been held hostage by the Prince of Jin's Mansion!
Song Yanyi's face became increasingly gloomy. "Where is she now?"
"It should be in their camp..."
Before the other party could finish speaking, Song Yanyi had already nimbly jumped on the horse and galloped out like an arrow.
"The one about King Xuan..." Before Su Yan could finish his words, Song Yanyi's figure gradually disappeared into the night.
She followed without hesitation, jumped on the horse, and followed Song Yanyi's back closely, heading towards the unknown crisis without looking back.
Song Yanyi walked in the afterglow of the setting sun and crossed the threshold of the camp. Amid the rising dust, Jin King's think tank Yu Zhen was already standing in the camp, with a calm demeanor, as if everything was under his control.
"Where are the people?!"
With the sound of a heavy hoof hitting the ground, Song Yanyi dismounted from the horse nimbly. His ashen face was like a sudden storm. Every firm step he took carried uncontrollable anger as he went straight towards Yu Zhen.
Yu Zhen looks smart and capable. Although she is thin, she exudes a smartness that should not be underestimated.
Faced with the biting coldness emanating from Song Yanyi's body, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, and his heels unconsciously moved back two steps.
However, beneath his seemingly panicked appearance, deep in his heart he was surging with irrepressible pride - the Crown Prince of Beiliang had indeed made the right bet this time, and Lord Xie, who was always known for his calm and unpredictable character, now showed rare anxiety and uneasiness.
Obviously, the position that woman occupies in his heart is far more important than anyone imagined. In this game, King Jin seems to have already won the game!
"Master Xie, please be patient. I am just following the princess's orders. I have specially asked Miss Bai to diagnose the princess' pulse. The King of Jin has always appreciated Master Xie. If you are willing to cooperate, the King of Jin and the princess will not treat Miss Bai unfairly."
These words seemed polite and courteous on the surface, but in fact, every word revealed a naked threat!
Su Yan's expression suddenly changed when he heard this. The complexity of the situation was beyond his expectations.
The old fox, Prince Jin, was obviously well prepared and was taking every step carefully.
Now, the hunting grounds have been infiltrated by them. If we fail to issue a warning in time and expose the rebellion plot secretly planned by the King of Jin in the hunting grounds, I am afraid that King Xuan and the Emperor will be eliminated cleanly by the King of Jin in this turmoil, and the situation will be difficult to control by then.
This struggle for the throne is like the eve of a storm, and any subtle change is enough to turn the world upside down.
Song Yanyi's gaze was like ice in winter, sharp and cold, piercing directly at Yu Zhen: "I ask you, where is she now?!"
Yu Zhen felt a chill as if being pricked by needles on her back, and cold sweat silently slid down her spine. She instinctively took two steps back, fearing that if she angered this man known as the "living devil", her life would disappear in an instant.
At this moment, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from afar, breaking the silence of the camp.
Yu Zhen lost no time in saying, "Here she comes! Look, Master Xie, Miss Bai is in that carriage!"
Seeing the slowly approaching carriage, Yu Zhen felt relieved. Not only was the secret weapon of King Jin hidden there, it was also his last card for self-protection.
Song Yanyi's expression grew increasingly heavy. He saw a group of soldiers and horses galloping towards them in a blue-gray carriage, and his heart suddenly tightened.
Only when the carriage stopped did Yu Zhen pluck up her courage and put on a smile.
