Drunk House Chapter 456

Chapter 456 Suspended (Second Update)

Zhang Yun was in a coma for a day, and when he woke up, it was already the night of the second day.

Hearing that he woke up, Zhang Chengda breathed a sigh of relief. If all three of his nephews were killed and died under the city of Nanping, and he was the only one alive, if the news came back to northern Hebei, his elder brother would definitely suspect that he was the one who did something wrong, although he never thought so.

He asked someone to help him to Zhang Yun's tent. Seeing Zhang Yun lying on the bed with a pale face, he stepped forward and asked, "Yun'er, how do you feel? Are you okay?"

"Second Uncle, I'm fine." Seeing that Zhang Cheng was also pale and looked injured and very weak, Zhang Yun's face darkened, "Second Uncle, what is this?"

He just woke up, before he had time to ask him what happened after being stabbed by Zhou Gu.

Zhang Chengdao: "I was also assassinated, and it happened at the same time as you were assassinated."

Zhang Yun immediately asked: "Who assassinated the second uncle?"

Zhang Cheng shook his head, "That man's face is covered, I don't know who it is."

He looked at Zhang Yun, still a little skeptical, "The person who assassinated you, have you seen clearly? Is it really Zhou Gu of the Duke Huguo?"

"It's him." Zhang Yun was very sure, "He didn't wear a face scarf, and he didn't cover his face. I've seen his portrait, it's him, and he won't admit his mistake.”

"Since you are so sure, then he is really brave." Zhang Cheng commented, and briefly explained that he led people into the barracks late at night last night, assassinated him secretly, Zhang Xing was killed, and he ordered people to search the mountain, but there was no result after searching for a day.

"Second uncle shouldn't send people to search the mountains, the most important thing to do is to attack the city as soon as possible." Zhang Yun disagreed.

"Hey, you and I are like this now, how can we attack the city? I lay in the tent for a day today, and you were unconscious for a day." Zhang Chengdao: "It takes two days to heal the wound, otherwise there is no one to command, even if it can be attacked, the damage will be heavy, so we can only postpone the attack."

He still cherishes soldiers and horses, after all, it is hard to raise them.

Zhang Yun's face was not good-looking, but he also felt that what Zhang Cheng said had some truth, "But I'm afraid of long nights and many dreams."

"Don't be afraid, we can last for another three days. Even if the news leaks out, the reinforcements from the imperial court will not come so fast. We can capture Nanping City before the reinforcements arrive." Zhang Chengdao.

Zhang Yun nodded, "Since the second uncle said so, then so be it!"

Although he is in a hurry now, his body knows that it is indeed too badly injured to move.

"Last night, you were very dangerous. Zhou Gu's sword almost hurt your heart. Not long after the military doctor bandaged you, you developed a high fever again. You managed to reduce the fever. You should take care of it first!" Zhang Chengqing was wise. Since his nephew came yesterday, he saw that he didn't even think about Zhang Mao's life and asked him to attack the city. , although he did not guard against him, but guarded against others, the one who broke into his camp yesterday was also a master, otherwise the guard who would not have killed him finally had to stab him with a sword. If he was only himself yesterday, he would surely die like Zhang Xing.

Zhang Yun nodded, "Listen to Second Uncle."

The two uncles and nephews discussed for a while, Zhang Yun couldn't bear the weakness and fell asleep again, Zhang Cheng also returned to his tent. The soldiers sent to search were not recalled and continued to search outside.

In Nanping City, Ning Chi and the others kept worrying, not daring to relax at all. Although the barracks with 200,000 soldiers was in chaos last night, no one knew what happened. Although the opportunity was good, Ning Chi still didn't dare to move. After all, it was 200,000 soldiers, and he only had 30,000 in his hand.

Ning Chi could only be fully armed and on guard, while also anxiously waiting for reinforcements.

Ning Ze also ran to chat with Zhang Mao in the dark prison when he was free, and asked Zhang Mao some things about the General's Mansion in North Hebei and Pingxi. At this time, Zhang Mao no longer waited for Su Rong, and answered every question, and what he said was based on Ning Ze's judgment, not like lying.

For example, he said that the Pingxi General's Mansion in northern Hebei had 450,000 soldiers.

Ning Ze was shocked, "450,000?"

He remembers the Mansion of the Protector of the Country, and only raised 300,000 soldiers, right?

Zhang Mao nodded.

Ning Ze couldn't believe it, "Where did you find these people? Why are so many people joining the army in northern Hebei?"

According to imperial regulations, Northern Hebei is only allowed to raise 100,000 soldiers and horses, which is 350,000 more. What a huge number, no wonder the Pingxi General's Mansion in Northern Hebei has been able to swallow the money of the state treasury for so many years.

"My father has a secret decree from His Majesty to privately expand the Northern Hebei Army." Zhang Maodao: "You know, in those years, Your Majesty was afraid of the East Palace, guarding against the Duke Hu's Mansion, fearing that the two sides would join hands and threaten His Majesty's position. My father knew that His Majesty was in danger, so when he came to Beijing to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday, he urged His Majesty to privately raise soldiers and horses, surpassing the Huguo Duke's Mansion, in case there would be chaos in the Huguo Duke's Mansion one day."

Ning Ze nodded. It was four years ago when the Empress Dowager passed away, so Zhang Ping urged His Majesty to move forward. After all, that was when the Queen Mother was still alive.

He felt that he might as well not listen to the news. With so many soldiers in the Northern Hebei Army, it might be over, right?

He was speechless, "Why is Your Majesty so stupid?"

Zhang Maodao: "It is indeed very stupid. He doesn't believe in the East Palace, he doesn't believe in the Duke Huguo's Mansion, but he just believes in my father."

Ning Ze said in a low voice: "How did such a foolish Majesty give birth to a wise prince? Could it be that His Royal Highness is not His Majesty's own son?"

Zhang Mao was silent, but he didn't know that.

Ning Ze shook his head, "No, no, it must be a kiss, bah bah bah, I can't think so, Miss Seven and His Highness the Crown Prince are cousins and have a very good relationship, I can't say that again in the future, Miss Seven is talking to the Prince, if she hears it, what if she doesn't take me to Nanchu?"

Zhang Mao looked at him, "Are you thinking a little far away? Why don't you think about how to get past this level first. As long as you attack the city outside and the reinforcements don't arrive, are you sure you can get out of Nanping City alive and go to Nanchu?"

Ning Ze didn't like to listen, and said viciously: "As long as the city is attacked outside, if I can't stand it, I will kill you first. If I die, you won't survive, and we will definitely die together. You'd better pray that your second uncle cares about you and won't attack the city. I hope that the reinforcements will come quickly. Otherwise, we will be a pair of ghosts under the nine springs."

Zhang Mao: "..."

He already knew that he had long since given up on himself and escaped or was rescued by someone. He knew it from the moment he was caught.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Ning Ze snorted, "Last night, there was chaos in the barracks of the Northern Hebei Army for a while, shouting for beatings and killing, as if assassins had entered. Later my elder brother said that the Northern Hebei Army had dispatched 100,000 soldiers and horses, and seemed to be doing something, but we were trapped in the city, and we couldn't get any specific information about what they were going to do. But I guess, they won't be attacking the city for a while."

Monthly pass, okay?
