Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1023

In the evening, Luo Qingyan went back to the mansion, and it was time for dinner. Yun Shang ordered the kitchen to cook more food, and took Luo Qingyan into her room.

"Why do you decide to withdraw back to the city all of a sudden?" Yun Shang pouted and made no secret of her displeasure. "Now the situation in the mansion is like this. The army has returned to the city. Isn't it easy to be found?"

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Luo Qingyan smiled and said softly, "I know. Just be careful. But if we want to lure Qingsu to Phoenix Mountain, we have to give him a chance."

Yun Shang frowned and didn't understand what Luo Qingyan wanted to say.

Luo Qingyan smiled and guided, "If you were Qingsu, what will your first reaction be when you hear that I suddenly order the army to retreat to Lingxi City?"

Yun Shang frowned and asked suspiciously, "What trick did you play?"

Luo Qingyan nodded slightly, "Do you know that the news that their former majesties arrived at Lingxi City had been blocked. Her former majesty only went to see Zhao Yingjie after she arrived at Lingxi City."

After a moment's silence, Yun Shang looked up at Luo Qingyan and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think there is some spy?"

Luo Qingyan smiled, "There must be some spies, but it's important to know where they are. A few days ago, I recalled the situation when their former majesties were missing. I think there must be some spy among the generals. Several generals have been with Zhao Yingjie for a long time, and Zhao Yingjie said that His Former Majesty and Hua Ling had been met by them."

"How can they know recognize them?" Yun Shang was confused.

Luo Qingyan smiled, "Almost all the people in the State of Xia know the scar on His Former Majesty's face. I heard that His Former Majesty didn't hide his face in any way at that time."

Yun Shang frowned. Since Xia Huanyu knew that the scar on his face was too obvious, he didn't hide it. She always felt that Xia Huanyu wasn't completely a victim.

"Aren't there so many secret guards around Xia Huanyu?" Yun Shang whispered to herself.

Luo Qingyan kept silent for a while and said, "Zhao Yingjie said that after they disappeared, the leader of Xia Huanyu's secret guards came to look for Zhao Yingjie and said that they were also deceived. But they didn't tell him the details. They only said that they would try their best to save His Former Majesty."

"And they never show up again?" Yun Shang raised her eyebrows.

Luo Qingyan nodded.

"Your Majesty think there must be some spy among the generals. You ordered the army to return to the city in order to make Qingsu feel that something was wrong. Then he wound contact the spy to investigate the situation, so that we can find out the spy? " Yun Shang tilted her head and looked at Luo Qingyan curiously.

Luo Qingyan nodded again and said, "That's right. Besides, I'll let the spy think that I withdrew my troops into the city because I had suffered some losses because of their majesties. So I want to find a way to save them before the reinforcements arrive."

"Another reason is for the ambush array you set up." Luo Qingyan turned to look at Yun Shang with a smile.

Yun Shang was surprised and pointed at herself, "My ambush array?"

Luo Qingyan nodded and smiled more brightly. "The reason why I withdrew my troops back to the city is to better resist the attack of the State of Ye Lang and wait for the reinforcements. Qingsu will certainly go back and check where the reinforcements of the State of Xia are now. They are about to reach Lingxi City. Qingsu knows that if we have reinforcements, the situation on the battlefield will not be like this."

Luo Qingyan stopped in front of the desk with his hands clasped behind his back. Yun Shanghad a new map hanging on the bookshelf. Luo Qingyan looked at the map and said indifferently, "Qingsu is not sure that he can kill us before the reinforcements arrive. He will try his best to stop them. Phoenix Mountain is an opportunity."

Hearing this, Yun Shang understood something. Yesterday Luo Qingyan said that he would lead the troops into the array. It turned out that retreating the army back to the city was the first step.

Yun Shang nodded slightly and smiled, "I've ordered the secret guards to leave the city first and enter the Phoenix Mountain to secretly arrange the ambush array. We'll catch Qingsu as soon as he enters."

Luo Qingyan turned around and smiled at Yun Shang.

It took the army three or four days to the city. In the past few days, Yun Shang had been quiet. Since Yun Shang was digging the lake, she didn't allow Luo Qingyan to bring the generals back to the mansion to discuss the war. The generals thought that Luo Qingyan thought it was inconvenient, so they didn't say anything and just deal with business in Yamen.

Yun Shang had nothing else to do, so she went to the Yamen with Bao'er. Occasionally, she sent some food there.

The generals in the army also got familiar with Yun Shang.

Because almost all the old generals had gone, this group of generals were new generals who had been promoted from the army. They were not very old, and the oldest one was less than forty. They were young and had a good time.
