I want to be innocent, but they don't allow me

Chapter 330 Siege.

"Miss? Who do you mean by donkey?"

Yuanbao's expression changed, but the question he asked was a bit unusual.

Liu Mingyan's expression changed, as if she was thinking of a solution.

However, in response to Yuanbao's question, he did not react like other masters and servants, but patiently explained his speculation to Yuanbao.

The Li clan’s current reputation is all due to Prince Yan.

Such an important matter could never be leaked to the outside world.

If the affairs concerning Li Mu were really leaked from the Li clan, then there is only one possibility, that the Prince of Yan secretly instructed it.

If the rumors are true, then it is not difficult to understand why King Yan would go back on his word.

After all, in Liu Mingyan's view, passing the title to an outsider seems impossible.

"Then, will the prince be in danger?"

After hearing the explanation, Yuanbao's face turned pale. He grabbed Liu Mingyan's sleeve and asked anxiously.

Liu Mingyan rolled her eyes, patted Yuan Bao's hand, and comforted him:

"Now, this matter cannot be decided by the King of Yan alone. It depends on your Majesty's opinion."

Liu Mingyan knew clearly that the title of Crown Prince Li Mu was appointed by Emperor Hongwen himself, and it was not a decision that could be made by Prince Yan alone.

But she also knew that although there were always rumors outside that the current emperor and the Prince of Yan were not on good terms.

But as the legitimate daughter of the Liu family, she knew that the current emperor and his two brothers were as close as brothers, and the so-called discord was all done for the world to see.

His fingers tapped the jade bracelet on his wrist, his expression suddenly changed, and he said:

"Send the message to father... No! Not to father, send it to Liu Mingzhe, and ask him to spread the news that the prince risked his life to rescue the King of Yan from the Ran slaves!"

Hearing this, Yuan Bao looked embarrassed and reminded hesitantly:

"The young lady and the eldest master have never gotten along. I'm afraid the eldest master won't..."

"It should be clearly stated in the letter that he can ask for any conditions he wants! Also, write to Xiaoliu. Liu Mingzhe always listens to Xiaoliu the most. Ask Xiaoliu for help and tell her that I will help her find the sword she wants!"

Liu Mingyan made the decision immediately without any hesitation.

Hearing this, Yuanbao nodded quickly and ran out of the house.

She also knew that the whole city was under strict lockdown in winter, and it was not easy to pass on the message.

But after being with Liu Mingyan for so long, she had more or less guessed why Liu Mingyan did this.

This is not the first time they have done this to promote public opinion and build momentum for Li Mu.

At that time, even if King Yan wanted to regret it, he would not be able to do so.

Liu Mingyan opened the window again, but the view outside was not as charming as before.

At this moment, all she was thinking about was how to help Li Mu and maintain his current position.

After all, the irrelevant conversation between the two of them before made her think that Li Mu was willing to help her challenge her family and the prince.

But if he lost his identity as the Prince of Yan, how could Li Mu compete with the Liu family and the current crown prince?

Li Mu's question at the time made her think that Li Mu had guessed what she wanted.

How could she know that Li Mu simply thought that she was too smart...

For a moment, she, who was always alert, didn't even realize the many unreasonable aspects of this matter.

Just as she was trying hard to think about what else she could do for Li Mu.

Yuanbao came back from outside in a hurry, and said anxiously:

"Miss, the Ran slaves are attacking the city, and the news can't be sent out!"

"What?" Liu Mingyan's expression changed, and she quickly walked to Yuan Bao and asked quickly,

"When?"

She clearly remembered that Li Mu said before he left that the Ran people would withdraw before noon today.

It was she who sent the news to King Yan. If this matter is not handled properly, it will definitely bring discredit to Li Mu.

He immediately grabbed Yuanbao and ran out of the house:

"Let's go find King Yan!"

...

at the same time.

On the city wall of Donglai Pass.

King Yan looked outside the city with a serious expression. At this moment, the soldiers of Rannu, each wearing armor, cooperated with a group of first-rank warriors to consume the large formation of Donglai Pass.

Those Rannu soldiers were wearing Xingwei armor.

Early this morning, the King of Yan had already learned about the robbery of the baggage.

At first I didn't take it seriously.

They had even made plans to chase after the enemy as soon as they made any moves to withdraw and rob them of their baggage.

But I never expected that the Ran Nu people would attack the city directly.

What surprised the King of Yan the most was that those Ran Nu soldiers wearing armor could actually use a combined attack formation.

If they just robbed Xing Wei's armor, it would not pose any threat to Donglai Pass.

The Xingwei armor needs to be used in conjunction with a unique combined attack technique to exert its power.

Although this combined attack technique is not top secret, it cannot be mastered in three to five days.

But judging from the current situation, it is clear that the Ran Nu people had planned this in advance.

At this time, a soldier ran up to King Yan and said in a difficult tone:

"Your Majesty, the Ran slaves are holding hundreds of villagers hostage and shouting outside the city... I, your Majesty, cannot understand what they are saying."

Upon hearing this, King Yan glanced around outside the city, pointed the Shuo Lei in his hand at the ground and said:

"Li Ru! Go... go and bring that kid over here!"

"..."

Russian qing.

Li Ru held Xiang Meng in his hand and came to the top of the city wall. He kicked Xiang Meng on the buttocks and asked:

"what did they say?"

Xiang Meng screamed, glanced at the battle formation outside the city, and said with a guilty conscience:

"He...they asked you to shut down the formation. Otherwise, they would kill those Xia people..."

"What a bunch of bastards!" Li Ru lifted Xiang Meng up high and cursed.

"You dare to kill the people of my Xing Dynasty? I will kill you, the so-called young patriarch, and sacrifice you to the flag!"

"Cousin, cousin, this... this is none of my business."

Xiang Meng wailed. He knew very well that his cousin was always capable of doing what he said. He really wanted to kill him.

"You are the young patriarch. You must ask them to release the people of Xing Dynasty, otherwise I will cut off both of your arms first!"

Li Ru punched Xiang Meng in the chest and said viciously.

"Cousin...Brother...they, they don't listen to me either. Don't you know all this..."

Xiang Meng endured the severe pain and spoke intermittently.

The Prince of Yan, who was standing aside, had a very grim expression on his face.

When he saw the Ran Nu people escorting the people to the front of the city, he already knew what the Ran Nu people were planning.

Asking Li Ru to bring Xiang Meng here was just a glimmer of hope.

After all, this kind of thing has never happened in decades.

King Yan took a deep breath and whispered:

"Go home!"

"Father!" Hearing the words of King Yan, Li Ru's expression froze and he said,

"But the people outside the city..."

"I said I'm going back home!"

The King of Yan shouted angrily, and without paying any attention to anyone else, he went down the city wall.

Li Ru gritted his teeth, and punched Xiang Meng a few more times to vent his anger, then picked up Xiang Meng and followed the steps of King Yan.

At this time, the King of Yan took a few slow steps, only one body length away from Li Ru, and whispered:

"In one hour, gather all the people in the city to the West City."

As he spoke, the King of Yan looked back at Li Ru and said calmly:

"In one hour, let all these beasts into the city!"

Li Ru was stunned for a moment, then understood King Yan's intention.

With the help of the large formation at Donglai Pass, we can indeed fight against the Ran Nu people.

But this move is also very risky. If the control of the formation is lost, the entire Donglai Pass will fall.

The most crucial thing is that among the Rannu people, there are obviously people who are proficient in the art of combined attack, so the method of controlling the large formation should not be difficult for them.

Li Ru felt a chill in his heart and his body couldn't help but tremble.

At this time, the King of Yan turned around again, hesitated for a moment, took out a palm-sized token from his arms, handed it to Li Ru and said:

"Tell your mother to take the tiger talisman and go find Li Mu. If we lose, Donglai Pass must not fall into the hands of those bastards..."

"Father, my mother..."

Unexpectedly, before Li Ru could finish his words, he was kicked by the King of Yan, who cursed:

"Little bastard! She's your mother!"
