Chapter 1593 No Need to Hide
"After Wen Baicao came back from him, I blocked Yongzhou City and the news couldn't get out. Old Nine..." The Eighth Prince was both shocked and angry.
Ye Yun's heart sank slightly when he heard his words, and then a bright light appeared in his mind.
He took a deep breath and interrupted the Eighth Prince's thoughts: "Your Highness, we have become the eagle that kills two birds with one stone."
When the Eighth Prince heard this, he was struck by lightning, and his mind went blank in an instant: "Chang Xuewei, the Sixth and Ninth Princes, they teamed up to trick me."
"Now is not the time to be angry, but to turn the tide. Otherwise, Yongzhou City will be breached by the Ninth Prince, and we will end up with our heads and bodies separated." Ye Yun's mind was filled with a storm.
The Eighth Prince gnashed his teeth in anger: "Old Six cooperated with me on the surface, but in fact he was secretly colluding with Old Nine. Chang Xuewei's sudden action now was also instructed by the two of them. How can I not be angry when I suddenly think of this?"
After he finished speaking, his face was full of bitterness: "I was thinking about dealing with Chen Changli, but I didn't expect that at this moment Chen Changli would become an opportunity to turn defeat into victory."
Ye Yun was also unwilling in his heart, but the Ninth Prince was clearly coming with great force, and Chang Xuewei had just the right amount of power to cause chaos in Yongzhou City.
If the Eighth Prince did not give up his intention to kill Chen Changli, he might lose his life in Yongzhou City today.
"I'll go find Chen Changli. Your Highness, you quickly gather people. If the situation is critical, you escape first." Ye Yun said all in one breath and ran to find people.
The Eighth Prince wanted to stop him, but he disappeared in a flash, so he gave up the idea of stopping him and went to find Tu Zhizhi.
"Old Nine has sent people to attack Yongzhou City. If you have any manpower, arrange them as soon as possible. Don't hide it anymore, otherwise you will be buried with me."
The Eighth Prince's words were very impolite. Tu Zhizhi was worried about Chang Xuewei. When she heard his words, a hint of horror flashed in her eyes.
"Why would the Ninth Prince do such a thing? Where are the people guarding the city gate? No, where are the people monitoring the Ninth Prince? Why didn't they receive such news? Instead, they told us the news only when the Ninth Prince was about to attack the city."
When the Eighth Prince heard this, his expression changed: "Are you suspecting that I'm deliberately hiding the news from you?"
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? That's not what I meant at all. I suspect your people have been bribed, or your people have been killed by the Ninth Prince a long time ago, and that's why you were caught off guard." Tu Zhizhi laughed in anger.
The Eighth Prince also reacted, looking embarrassed: "This happened so suddenly, I was shocked and frightened, so I said something I didn't think should be said. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me."
He is also flexible and adaptable. After all, he needs Tu Zhizhi at this time.
"It's rare to see you so calm." Tu Zhizhi listened to his words and looked at him coldly, "I thought you would abandon me completely now that you have an old lady named Shang."
"I have absolutely no such intention." The Eighth Prince said calmly, as if it was Tu Zhizhi's fantasy from the beginning to the end.
Tu Zhizhi didn't want to argue with him about this, so she immediately asked, "What's the situation in Yongzhou City? Has Chang Xuewei been arrested?"
"I don't know the situation yet." The Eighth Prince shook his head, "But the people who came to report are very anxious. I think the situation outside Yongzhou City is very bad. I have to go out and take charge."
When the Eighth Prince said this, Tu Zhizhi couldn't help but look at him with admiration: "It's a good thing that you have such an idea. After all, although most of the soldiers guarding Yongzhou City were arranged by the old emperor, some of them are loyal to you."
"If you desert the battlefield, it will only disappoint them. You should stay there for a while. When the situation becomes unclear or even unfavorable to you, you can find a way to leave. That is the right way." Tu Zhizhi also knew that the situation was critical and immediately offered advice.
"By the way, doesn't Chen Changli know how to fight? You can hand over those soldiers to him. With him around, Yongzhou City will be safe for a while."
"As for Chang Xuewei, a despicable person hiding in the shadows, I will go and catch her."
After Tu Zhizhi finished speaking, she locked her eyes on the Eighth Prince to see how he would react.
If he opposed her, she would change her mind and follow him to the city wall to observe the situation.
After hearing her words, the Eighth Prince said as his thoughts turned: "I will take Chen Changli to the city wall, and you go to capture Chang Xuewei. By the way, Wen Baicao may have defected to Old Nine."
"Moreover, Lao Liu and Chang Xuewei also have a connection with Lao Jiu that we cannot imagine, which is why they attacked Yongzhou City on the same day."
"If you run into Wen Baicao later, you'd better be alert and don't be sarcastic or lose your temper with him like you did before."
The Eighth Prince took advantage of every opportunity to bring Tu Zhizhi and Wen Baicao into confrontation, and thus made the matter clear in a few brief words.
Tu Zhizhi snorted coldly: "I said there was something wrong with Wen Baicao, and I wanted to kill him immediately, but Wen Baicao was quite skilled. Not only did he escape my pursuit, he also found Ye Yun and asked him to help talk to me and drive me away."
She also had her own little thoughts, and immediately tried to flatter Ye Yun in front of the Eighth Prince.
"If Ye Yun hadn't stopped him, Wen Baicao would have died in my hands long ago. How could such a thing happen today?"
Hearing this, the Eighth Prince was unhappy, but he didn't show it on his face. He just said, "My cousin wanted to use Wen Baicao to restrain Old Lady Shang, but he didn't expect it was too late."
When Tu Zhizhi heard this, she knew that the Eighth Prince was protecting Ye Yun.
She also didn't think that a single drop of her eye drops could create a rift between the Eighth Prince and Ye Yun.
She only needed to seize the opportunity and say something plausible from time to time to make the two go in opposite directions.
After making up her mind, Tu Zhizhi looked more calm: "I see, I was wrong about you before."
The Eighth Prince guessed her thoughts and felt disgusted in his heart, but his face showed just the right amount of touching, "I'm glad you can figure it out."
Tu Zhizhi rolled her eyes and said, "Old Lady Shang has a grudge against me, and I want to kill her, but unfortunately her witchcraft is so powerful that I am no match for her. Otherwise, she and Wen Baicao would have died long ago, how could they still be alive today?"
Her words were full of murderous intent, and it was obvious that she could not forget what Old Lady Shang had done to her.
She also took the opportunity to tell the Eighth Prince about her hatred and asked him to cooperate with her to get rid of Old Lady Shang.
"No matter what you do, I will cooperate with you like before." The Eighth Prince understood her thoughts and agreed after weighing the pros and cons.
Tu Zhizhi showed a satisfied look on her face: "You should have done so long ago."
Seeing her expression change, the Eighth Prince's eyes were a little obscure, but it was so fleeting that it was hard to catch, "Tu Zhizhi, how are you going to deal with Old Lady Shang? Don't forget that you still have a poisonous insect in your body."
"I have sent someone to contact my brother." Tu Zhizhi believed that the Ninth Prince's offensive made the Eighth Prince need her very much, so there was no need to hide some things from him, so she said, "My brother has countless capable people under his command, and he will definitely be able to solve my problem."
"At worst, there is still a Gu tribe member in King Rong's place. Once Old Lady Shang dies, I will go capture her and ask her to help me remove the Gu."
Just in case, Tu Zhizhi paused and said something ugly first.
"If this Gu tribe member is useless, I will take the Phoenix Gu from you."
The Eighth Prince was surprised, and then his face turned cold: "You actually covet the Phoenix Gu!"
