Chapter 1131: His Method

er body from the beginning, so why was he so nervousThe more Feng Ming examined her pulse, the deeper his frown became. Seeing his expression, An Xuetang's face also paled slightly, "Am I poisoned""It...After Zhao Yan and Zhao Yu'er's figures completely disappeared, Mo Yunchen gritted his teeth and coldly said, "Quickly send people out of the city to see what's going on"

"Yes."

Mo Yunchen clenched his fists, veins popping on his forehead. He gritted his teeth and roared again, "How come I haven't received any news from the capital yet Go find out for me!"

Everyone bowed their heads and respectfully replied, "Yes."

……

On the other side, as Zhao Yan and Zhao Yu'er just got into the carriage, Zhao Yu'er was eager to ask out her confusion in her heart, but Zhao Yan gave her a 'hush' gesture.

The carriage followed Mo Yunchen's people. After walking for a while, they heard someone outside the carriage knock on the carriage body and say, "Your Highness, we are far from them."

Zhao Yan curled his lips, "Hmm."

Then, Zhao Yu’er, who was about to suffocate from holding it in, finally spoke up, “Imperial Brother, what on earth is going on How could Father send troops against us When we came to ask for soldiers, he refused outright! What about those ten thousand soldiers outside Beijang City Could it be that Grandfather managed to get them transferred here”

Zhao Yan chuckled softly, looking at her with doting eyes, then raised his hand and gently tapped her forehead:

“He definitely isn't someone from my father. And my grandfather's soldiers can't leave their posts without authorization, or they would be punished for treason by my father. So it's even less likely that he sent them. Besides, this is within the territory of Tianba Kingdom. Even if someone really wanted to send us troops, it wouldn't be so easy to get here.”

Zhao Yu'er blinked, "Then what about those soldiers just now...what was going on"

Zhao Yan just smiled at her, without explanation. This made Zhao Yu'er feel anxious and flustered.

"Look, Zhao Yuer grabbed Zhao Yan's arm and shook it insistently. 'Oh, Brother Huang, please don't keep us in suspense! Just tell us!' "

Zhao Yan chuckled lightly, and instead of explaining, he asked back, "On the way here earlier, Your Imperial Brother asked you if you had looked at the military treatises I gave you. Do you remember"

What does this have to do with military strategy

"When dealing with someone like Mo Yunchen, every move your elder brother makes is calculated. Think carefully about everything that happened tonight and relate it to what you've learned from military strategy. See if you can guess what tactic your elder brother might have employed"

"...."

Zhao Yuer was a bit helpless. Couldn't he just explain directly Why did he have to let her figure it out herself How could she possibly figure this out on her own

But she still carefully connected everything that had happened today, pondering for a moment.

Her mind was racing, she felt like she had it all figured out, but then when she thought about certain details, she started doubting herself again.

Zhao Yan looked at her ever-changing face, and suddenly chuckled, "What have you been thinking about Tell your elder brother."

Zhao Yu'er pursed her lips, "Your Majesty, the scheme you used couldn't possibly be... creating something out of nothing, could it"

"Hahaha" Zhao Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw that she had actually guessed it. He placed his hand on Zhao Yu'er's head and rubbed it gently:

"Our little Baa is indeed clever. It's no wonder our grandfather often lamented to the crown prince, saying it was a pity that Baa wasn't born male and couldn't follow him into battle. Otherwise, Baa would definitely be an invaluable general!"

No one dislikes hearing compliments, Zhao Yu'er is no exception. Being praised by her own older brother like this, the corner of her mouth curled into a stunning arc, but she still said shyly:

"Eldest brother, please don't tease me. Just tell me your plan. I'm still a bit confused. Even if it's a scheme out of thin air, based on those torches outside the city, there must be at least a few thousand people coming, right Who are they How did they get here"

Zhao Yan chuckled softly, and without continuing to tantalize her, he slowly began to explain.

The people outside the city who were carrying torches were just ordinary citizens. Nowadays, it doesn't take much effort to earn a few ounces of silver, and the people are very happy about it.

Before entering the city of Beijiang, he had already made arrangements. Fewer than twenty people remained outside the city, but these twenty people had visited every big and small village outside the city and made a deal with them.

As long as those villagers each hold a torch at the designated spot for half an hour tonight, they will be rewarded with a few taels of silver.

For these villagers, their whole family could only save a few ounces of silver in a year, so this business deal was like hitting the jackpot for them. They had no reason to refuse such a good opportunity.

So the people carrying torches outside the city earlier were not soldiers, but just villagers.

Because the distance was great, from atop the city walls one could only see the torches, but not who held them.

During the day, Mo Yunchen's people went to investigate the news. At that time, the villagers were doing their own things in their homes, so naturally, Mo Yunchen's men couldn't find any problems.

Mo Yunchen, because of what he had said during the day, had already brought his own ideas into it. Therefore, when Mo Yunchen saw those torches, he subconsciously thought that those people were soldiers.

No matter how Mo Yunchen thought about it, he couldn't possibly imagine that those people were just villagers outside the city of Beijang.nt around An Xuetang's table, unable to eat properly. Whenever there was even the slightest disturbance at An Xuetang's table, they would subconsciously raise their guard.At this moment, Fu'er sat dow...
