Abandoned Prince: Summon the Sword God at the beginning

Chapter 68: The Aftermath of the Prince Rebellion

Cheng Yaojin hesitated to speak, and Zhao Guangyi, the ruler of the Later Tang Dynasty, said, "My dear, if you have anything to say, just speak frankly!"

Cheng Yaojin said, "Your Highness, you have been exhausted from the long journey and you didn't get any rest at night. Just wait for news in the camp. I will personally lead the troops to the capital to capture the old villain Ouyang alive."

Zhao Feiyan said: "It's okay, I'm not tired, I can rest after we catch the traitor Ouyang."

Princess Nihuang insisted again and again, and Cheng Yaojin and Zhao Guangyi had no choice but to follow her will.

Soon, the soldiers prepared armor and horses for her. Cheng Yaojin ordered, "Five hundred soldiers from the Jia camp will go with the princess first, and our army will follow soon."

So, Zhao Feiyan led 500 warriors from the Jia Camp and set out in a mighty force, heading towards the capital. For a while, smoke and dust filled the official road.

The spy from the Jingxi Camp who was sent to deliver a letter to the capital was intercepted by the people from the Jia Camp on the way.

"Princess, this guy is sneaky. We suspect he is a spy."

Princess Zhao Feiyan said: "He is just a minor character, his master is in our Jingxi camp."

The generals and soldiers were skeptical, but after Zhao Feiyan read the secret letter from the messenger to everyone, everyone gritted their teeth.

It turned out that the secret letter was sent from the Jingxi Camp, and the writer of the letter secretly reported that the treacherous Prime Minister Ouyang Mingwang was in the Jingxi Camp.

Zhao Feiyan personally interrogated the messenger and asked, "Tell me who asked you to deliver the letter to Wangjing?"

The messenger was stubborn at first, but after being severely beaten by Zhao Feiyan, he became honest. He confessed the whole story and revealed the identity of the writer of the letter.

Wei Wuxiang, the officer of the Jiazi Camp, said: "Chen Zhong usually looks like a decent person with a serious face, but I didn't expect him to be a traitor. Alas, I was wrong about him."

The soldiers said one after another: "You can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. This Chen Zhong has completely brought shame to our Jingxi Camp. We are ashamed to be associated with him."

Zhao Feiyan said: "Don't blame yourselves, what Chen Zhong did has nothing to do with you, don't feel guilty about this man."

Zhao Feiyan said: "Chen Zhong, he still thinks his plan is about to succeed, why don't we take advantage of his trick and open the city gate."

Wei Wuxiang asked, "Princess, what do you think?"

Zhao Feiyan whispered to him, "We can imitate Chen Zhong's handwriting and write another letter, saying that this princess escaped to the military camp and was captured by the general, and you are the soldiers who escorted her to the capital."

Wei Wuxiang praised: "Your Highness, this is a brilliant move. If it succeeds, we can enter the city without bloodshed. However, I will have to inconvenience you by letting you stay in the prison car for a while."

Zhao Feiyan said: "What's the harm? In order to kill the treacherous minister Ouyang, what is this little suffering of the princess worth?"

So the generals found a prison car for Zhao Feiyan. Princess Nihuang jumped into the car without saying a word, and Wei Wuxiang locked the door of the prison car.

The group headed towards Wangjing in a mighty procession. It wasn't far from Jingxi Camp to Wangjing by car, and soon, everyone saw the city gate of Wangjing.

Many soldiers checked passers-by here, and the inspection was very strict. Anyone with the slightest suspicion was arrested and interrogated.

The city gate officer saw hundreds of people escorting a prisoner cart and asked sternly, "Where are you soldiers from? What's your mission in the capital?"

Wei Wuxiang stepped forward and said, "Your Excellency, we are soldiers from the Jingxi Camp. We are following the order of our general to escort the princess back to the capital for trial."

The city gate officer said unkindly, "Princess? Does our Later Tang still have a princess? Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? I think you are spies. Come, arrest them all and send them to the Prime Minister's Mansion for the decision of Prime Minister Ouyang."
