Chapter 472 Madam Xiao: Lord Marquis, I Can’t Let the Prince Down Again

"Ah"

Hearing this, Madam Gan's face turned ugly.

Now, her husband ignored her and suspected her. Her only hope was that her son could become the prince and inherit the Huaiwang Mansion in the future.

But if Fengzhou was gone, would he inherit the air?

Just then, footsteps were heard outside the house.

The eavesdropping maid had left, and another person came and said, "Madam, it's not good. The prince vomited blood and fainted. You should go and see him."

On the other side.

In Madam Xiao's room.

Madam Xiao was taking a nap.

She was lying on the couch, wearing a thin palace skirt. In the hot summer, she didn't cover herself with a quilt. She was plump, and the large piece of snow-white skin under her beautiful neck was suddenly revealed, drawing a shadow of the moon under the bed.

Madam Xiao didn't know if she was dreaming or what. She was originally calm, but her face suddenly flushed, her eyebrows suddenly jumped, and her hands clenched the sheets.

The pearly teeth bit her pink lips instinctively, making an indistinct whimpering sound. A pair of tender white ankles were kicking the bed sheet embroidered with orchids, and suddenly stiffened a little, and the toes painted with bright red waist hooked up.

Soon, Madam Xiao opened her mouth slightly and said instinctively: "No, Lord, no, I can't let the prince down again."

As she finished speaking, the stiff tender white ankles completely relaxed. She found that the color of the palace skirt under her body was a little darker, which made her face redder and she spat in her heart.

"Dong Dong."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

Madam Xiao, who was dreaming to the end, was about to wake up. When she heard the knock on the door, she woke up instantly and sat up suddenly.

She spat inwardly, and when she heard the knock on the door again, she quickly tidied herself up and said, "Who is it?"

"Madam, it's... it's the servant."

"Xiao Cui?" Madam Xiao suddenly thought of something. She got off the bed, lowered the curtain, came to the long table and sat down, and then said, "Come in."

Soon, a sneaky figure walked into Madam Xiao's room.

If Madam Gan was here, she would definitely find that this person was her maid.

It turned out that in order to compete for the position of the prince, although Madam Xiao and Madam Gan joined forces, Madam Xiao also took the opportunity to bribe the maid around Madam Gan to provide her with information.

"Tell me, what news did you find out." Madam Xiao waved her hand and said.

"General Gan is back, and just went into the mansion to see Madam Gan and said." The maid Xiao Cui told Madam Xiao everything she overheard.

"What?!"

Hearing this, Madam Xiao suddenly felt a black screen in front of her eyes. If she hadn't held the long table in front of her in time, she would have fainted on the ground.

Xiao Yi is her second uncle and the strongest warrior of the Xiao family. He is her support. However, he was ambushed by the enemy in Yi County and his life or death is uncertain.

Mrs. Xiao's face turned pale.

"No, I want to find the prince."

Mrs. Xiao stood up and stumbled out of the house.

As a result, she learned that the prince of Huai had a heart attack and vomited blood and fainted.

She had no choice but to go out of the house to find her second aunt and ask her if she had any solution.

But after hearing the news, her second aunt cried and begged her for help, saying that she wanted to see the person alive or the body dead.

Mrs. Xiao had no choice but to contact Chen Mo.

Whether the eldest brother was alive or dead, perhaps he would think of the joy of family and let people release the second uncle or return the body of the second uncle.

Mrs. Hui was the last person in the house to know about Yi County.

When she learned that her uncle and uncle had surrendered to the enemy, Mrs. Hui was completely dumbfounded and her heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

You know, uncle Li Mingfan is not only the strongest warrior of the Li family, but also the ruler of the Li family. Now that he has surrendered to the enemy, will the prince still trust the Li family?

In this way, Shou'er's position as the prince is even more hopeless.

At this moment, Madam Hui felt that her soul was about to be lost.

Even during the time in Wuguan, she had never been so desperate.

At the same time, the Li family.

The entire Li family also heard about Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong surrendering to the enemy, and all the clansmen panicked.

They were afraid that the King of Huai would implicate them in this matter.

So they all found Madam Hui's father Li Ye and asked him what to do next.

After the last round of discussion, for the sake of safety, it was decided to send some young men out of Fengzhou to keep the fire for the Li family. Li Ye also went to see Madam Hui as soon as possible.

After all, surrendering to the enemy is a very common thing.

How could the Li family not be prepared first?

Among the solutions discussed by the Li family, there was one: if the King of Huai really wanted to implicate the entire Li family because of the matter of Li Mingfan and Li Mingzhong, then the Li family would simply surrender to Chen Mo.

Anyway, Mrs. Hui's daughter Chu Juan was already Chen Mo's concubine. Considering this relationship, the Li family might not be unable to take root and develop in Chen Mo's territory.

...

Chen Mo, who was far away in Gaozhou, did not know what happened in Yi County.

After the incident in Yaoer City, Jinxia's East Route Army was completely frightened by Chen's army. Under the step-by-step advancement of Chen's army, they actually withdrew from Gaozhou directly.

The first year of Yong'an, early September.

Chen Mo recaptured Gaozhou.

On a mountain.

Chen Mo picked up the horse whip that the Jinxia army had dropped on the ground when they fled, and looked at the horse hoof prints on the ground, looking into the distance, and said faintly: "This won't work. Even if we can recapture the entire north, these beasts will escape."

"But at our marching speed, we can't catch up with their cavalry at all." Xia Zhining knew this, and said in distress.

"It seems that we have to slow down our marching speed." After Chen Mo pondered for a while, he waved his hand behind him.

Sun Meng, who was following behind, immediately took the map and spread it out in front of Chen Mo.

"From the speed of the Jinxia army's retreat, they don't want to leave so easily. Otherwise, we can't even see their shadows. Obviously, they still want to go south, but they haven't found a way to deal with us, so they can only retreat first."

As he said, Chen Mo drew a route on the map with his finger and said, "So I decided to divide the army, and I will personally lead a light cavalry to march from here, rushing day and night, and copying the enemy's rear.

And you slow down the marching speed to buy us time to copy, because the enemy will not retreat too fast when they see that we are not chasing too closely."

"Will this be a bit risky?" Xia Zhining said worriedly.

Although the Cavalry Guards have captured a warhorse, they have no time to train it. Even if they take off their gear, with two horses per person, they can only gather about 5,000 light cavalry at most.

It is too risky to attack the rear with such a small number of people.

"We will bring pottery bombs. Their morale is low. If we catch them by surprise, we may win. We can take this risk." Chen Mo said.
