C1196

Within the Xitang City. Under the urging of the Hidden Arrow Crew, Li Dan decided to enter the palace that night to look for Li Hong and steal the talisman. There was nothing to say during the day. That night, Li Dan went to the palace as planned.

He was the crown prince of the Zhen Country, so entering and exiting the palace was the same as returning to his own home. He asked the palace maids downstairs about it and found that Li Hong was still awake, still in the study room. After thinking for a bit, he first went to the kitchen and had the palace maids prepare a few dishes that Li Hong liked to eat, then a few bottles of good wine. He personally carried them over to the study room.

Hearing that Li Dan had arrived, Li Hong was not surprised. Even if he did not come, Li Hong still planned to send people to look for him.

With a million enemies surrounding Xi Tang, once the city was broken, not only would he be done for, his Zhen Country would also be destroyed. There were many things that he still had to report to Li Dan, if it really wouldn't work out, he would be willing to risk his life to protect Li Dan and help him break out of the encirclement.

He got someone to invite Li Dan in. The latter entered the study room, first bowing, then walking forward. She slowly placed the tray with the dishes on the table, and softly said: "I heard that King Father hasn't rested yet, so I had someone specially prepare some dishes for you."

Li Hong smiled and waved for Li Dan to sit beside him. Li Hong had a total of twenty-four sons, his favorite one was his eldest son, Li Dan. The latter also did not disappoint him, and was indeed a smart, knowledgeable, and knowledgeable son. As the crown prince, he was neither arrogant nor impatient, and never relied on his authority to bully others.

"Dan'er entered the palace late at night. Is there something you need King Father for?"

"I'm worried that the King Father is working hard for our country, so I came here to visit." While speaking, he placed the dishes on the table one by one, and then said: "These are all things that King Father likes to eat, this son will accompany King Father to eat at the bar!"

"Alright!" Li Hong smiled and nodded, but looking at the table full of dishes, he had no appetite at all.

He picked up the cup that Li Dan had filled it with, raised his head, and finished the wine in it. Then, he poured himself another drink. After drinking three cups in a row, he stopped and asked Li Dan: "Dan'er, do you think we can protect the capital this time?"

That was too difficult. There was basically no chance of succeeding!

This was what Li Dan thought, but he didn't dare say it out loud. He said with a smile, "King Father does not need to worry. The city's defenses are strong and there are over three hundred thousand elite soldiers guarding it. Even if the enemy is a million strong, breaking out of the capital will not be that easy."

Li Hong laughed bitterly in his heart, and said: "It will be difficult for the allied forces to take down the capital in such a short period of time, but if we use a strategy of encirclement without attacking, what should we do?"

Even if the city had Xi Tang s, the city would only have enough grain for three months. After the third month, the city would run out of grain, and even if the allied forces did not attack, the city would still be trapped.

How could Li Dan not understand this logic? He forced a smile and said, "Don't forget the King Father, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the west of the country. As long as Central Army from the west returns to the capital, the allied army will definitely lose."

Li Hong shook his head and said worriedly, "King Father is afraid that the Central Army in the west will not return to the capital.

This wave wasn't just outside of Xitang City in the allied army, there was also a wave of Allied Army of Chuan Country And Mo Country that was worth hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses. This was also the reason why Li Dan thought that the capital would be hard to preserve.

Hearing his father's words, Li Dan rolled his eyes, realizing that the chance had come. He said: "This son thinks that since the enemy is strong and I am weak, we must not fight with them; the enemy has supplies to replenish them, and right now the capital is a city in distress, so the war must not drag on for too long. There is only one solution, and that is to take advantage of the fact that the allied forces are unsteady outside the city, and take advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack during the night!"

After saying that, he stood up and took two steps back. Then, he knelt on one knee, and interfered: "King Father, this son is willing to personally lead a death squadron. Tonight, I will leave the city to sneak attack Enemy's Camp, to take them by surprise, and attack them unprepared.

For Li Dan to be able to sit in the crown prince's position for so long without incident, his mind was definitely not simple.

He was also afraid that if he stole the order badge, if the matter were to be exposed or he did not open the city gates, he would be unable to explain the situation. Even if he was the crown prince and there was the suspicion of being an enemy, it would be hard for him to keep his head, and now that he took the initiative to enlist for battle, if Li Hong agreed, the order badge would naturally go through smoothly. If not, no matter how much he stole it, even if he was exposed, he would no longer have to be afraid.

Li Dan was indeed very smart, but it was a pity that his cleverness was not used in how to fight against the Alliance, but was used on his own father.

How would they know what Li Dan was planning?

Li Hong was very touched to hear that he was willing to personally leave the city and attack the enemy's camp. Many people had said that although Li Dan was talented, his martial prowess was too weak, and his temperament carried the cowardice of a scholar. But today, in the face of a great enemy, Li Dan was willing to risk his life to fight to the death. A relieved smile appeared on Li Hong's face. He stood up and pulled Li Dan up as he said meaningfully, "Dan Er is the dignified crown prince. How can the future monarch personally step into the fray?

"But -"'s rejection of him was already within Li Dan's expectations, but he still pretended not to be satisfied.

Li Hong waved his hand and said, "No need for that. Tonight, you won't be able to go anywhere but stay at the palace with the King Father and drink wine with him. We father and son have not drunk together at the same table for a long time."

As if he was disappointed, Li Dan let out a long sigh, and then followed the flow and said: "Alright!" With that, he raised his wine cup with both hands and said: "This son pays his respects to King Father!"

Without hesitation, Li Hong drank the entire cup of wine.

The father and son exchanged toasts with each other, and quickly finished all of the bottles Li Dan had brought with him. Li Hong didn't even need to say anything. In the past few days, Li Hong's somewhat cheerful nature had stirred up once more, and he once again brought out several jugs of strong alcohol to continue drinking with Li Dan.

Actually, Li Hong's alcohol tolerance was not bad, but because of the depression in his heart, he drank very fast. When he and Li Dan finished the sixth bottle of wine, he could no longer sit still on the collapse, and his body was swaying left and right continuously.

Dan'er ?" Father felt that this time ? He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to escape his doom ? My father went to war all his life... He wasn't afraid of death ? "There are already many corpses on the battlefield, and I am most worried about you. However, you don't have to be afraid, before the allied forces break the city wall, I will definitely find a way to protect you and restore my Dazhen in the future ?1

As the saying goes, you speak the truth after drinking wine. Surrender was the only way out, and the only way to save the Zhen Country was this. Only then would he be able to save the King Father, and even when the day came in the future, he would be willing to go and beg for forgiveness on behalf of her father.

"King Father, you're drunk. Your son will send you back to your room to rest!" With that, Li Dan helped Li Hong up and walked out of the study. A few palace maids and guards from the left and right wanted to help, but Li Dan glared at them angrily and bellowed, "All of you, scram!"

He was the crown prince, how could the others dare to offend him? All of them lowered their heads in fear as they hurriedly retreated. Li Dan supported Li Hong back to the palace, with the palace maids and guards following far behind. There was almost no need to intentionally hide his movements. Li Dan casually swiped his hand across his father's waist and grabbed the jade belt that was hung on his hand, then naturally put it away. Not to mention that the palace maids and guards behind him did not see his actions, even if they did, no one would dare to say a single word.

Li Hong was also completely unaware, as he walked forward, he said unclearly, "Dan'er ? I've made up my mind... They would rather die in battle than sit still and wait for their deaths! Father is going out of the city to fight the enemy to the death... In addition, you plan to send General Gars and General Lin Ning to escort you out of the siege. "Both of them are extremely powerful generals. With Father holding down the enemy's main forces, it won't be difficult for you to break out from the other side ?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" King Father is right! " Li Dan nodded his head and agreed.

After sending Li Hong back to his room, Li Dan subconsciously touched the order badge on his chest. He then took a deep breath and walked out of the palace with big strides.

After leaving the palace, he sat in the carriage and immediately rushed back to his Young Master Mansion. At this time, more than ten armored Zhen Country Generals were gathered in the great hall of the Young Master Mansion. These generals belonged to the crown prince's sect, and were all Li Dan's trusted aides and confidants.

They were very clear about Li Dan's plan. Everyone sat uneasily in the hall, anxiously waiting. Right now, everyone was feeling complicated. They hoped that Li Dan would succeed, but they also hoped that he wouldn't.

No one was not afraid of death, and People of Zhen Country was no exception. With the current situation of Zhen Country, fighting the allied army would only result in death, and the Generals s of the Crown Prince Sect did not want to continue fighting the allied army, so they ended up as Li Hong's funeral.

It was still fine if he succeeded, but if he failed, not only would the life of the entire family be difficult to protect, even if he died, he would also leave behind a body full of curses and become the sinner of Zhen Country.

This was a gamble of Heaven Step by Step, Hell Step by Step. The tension and complexity of people's emotions was understandable.

Hearing that the servant of Young Master Mansion had sent a message, the young master had returned. The generals' bodies trembled as they stood up in unison, and their gazes uniformly swept towards the outside of the hall.

Following the sound of hurried footsteps, Li Dan walked quickly into the great hall. Seeing him, all the generals asked in unison, "Does Young Master have a token?"
