At this time, Mrs. Wang took out a piece of red paper from her coat pocket and put it on the table, "Oh, Miss Xiao's birthday, you look for you to go together, go down and I will go to Xiao's Mansion again, so as to set the date." ”

"Thank you Aunt Wang, I'll go now"

Sun Yu was obviously dizzy, and forgot to give the matchmaker Xie Matchmaker's silver, and left with Xiao Lan'er's birthday.

Tao Xiushui had no choice but to give the money to Fuzi, and gave her mother-in-law an extra fifty taels of reward for the follow-up.

As soon as Sun Yu's matter was over, Tao Xiushui received a secret order from Ah San, asking her to quickly take Da Ru and them out to hide in the past two days.

Tao Xiushui didn't understand what it meant, and repeatedly asked Ah San why she wanted to leave.

Ah San didn't dare to say it in detail, and he was forced to have no choice but to say "Shao mainly do something in the capital"

"Doing things, what does it have to do with whether I go or not"

"This ...... The subordinates are just acting on orders, please Miss Tao don't embarrass her subordinates anymore"

Ah San really couldn't say any more, and when the young master knew that he couldn't run away with a military stick, he didn't want to be punished like this.

Tao Xiushui also lost his temper, "If you don't explain it, I won't leave"

Ah Sanyi was anxious when he heard this, and said there: "The girl must not want the young master to worry! Your stay in the capital will only increase the concern of the young master, in case he is distracted, the girl will understand what will happen without me!"

Tao Xiushui also knew this truth, but if she didn't know what dangerous things Chu Yi was going to do, how could she leave with peace of mind.

Thinking of this: "You don't have to coax me, if there is really danger, you can bear it together, it's not a good thing."

Ah San thought about it again and again: "Miss Tao, you also know the current situation, Xiao Xue'er and the young master's marriage has been canceled, Xiao Xiang can't give the young master the slightest chance, so the young master wants to strike while the iron is hot......"

That's the limit of what he says, and he can't say it anymore.

Tao Xiushui also thought of this, but she didn't expect Chu Yi to be so fast, one was her former father, and the other was the person she liked now, these two were going to have a life-and-death battle, she always felt that she had to do something.

He sighed in his heart and said, "I'm not leaving, I'll send my master and Master Sun away!"

Ah San was startled, he didn't dare to be this master, the young master ordered him to send these people away, if he didn't send them away, he couldn't take his life.

said respectfully: "No, Miss Tao, the young master didn't order his subordinates like this, and his subordinates didn't dare to disobey."

"Then go and ask him! I don't want to go, I might be able to help him!"

Ah San had no choice but to say "yes"

sighed in his heart, how is this good, what does he want to say to the young master, I don't know how the young master will punish him.

……

Tao Xiushui hadn't recovered from this incident, and in the middle of the night, he heard Ah San knock on the door:

"Miss Tao, let's go now"

"Now?" Tao Xiushui's heart trembled, how could it be so fast, could it be that Xiao Xiang had taken action.

"Yes, Miss Tao, I have sent a car to pick up the Confucians."

"Why is it so fast, didn't you say that you would leave in the next two days?"

"Because Xiao Yan has already made the first move, the young master is afraid that you are in danger, so let his subordinates send you away first"

Ah San went back and explained for a long time before exonerating himself from his guilt, and now he got this order again, if he doesn't do it well, the young master will definitely pick his skin.

Tao Xiushui pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

She didn't want to be a burden to Chu Yi either.

"But what about the Academy?"

"Girl, don't worry, someone will notify the hospital that it is temporarily closed today"

"That's good"

Tao Xiushui didn't delay any longer, didn't take anything, only brought a few changes of clothes, and called Qingzhu to leave the servants who had little contact with her and were not in danger, and then left.

……

"Are they gone?"

Chu Yi sat down at the table and said with a serious expression.

Ah Si also looked cold, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the young master, Ah San sent someone to report that they were gone."

"It's good to go, it's good to go" Chu Yi put down this thought, and continued: "Where is the old general now?"

"Back to the young master, he is still in the mansion, and the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion is waiting outside, saying that he wants to invite the old general to drink tea."

The people from Xiao Xiangfu came here early in the morning to invite the old general Chu to go, and Chu Yi told people to ask for help first.

Therefore, the housekeeper of the Xiao Mansion has already come, and he has a pillar of incense, and he has not seen the old general Chu.

When Steward Xiao came, he was instructed to come back if he didn't see anyone.

But this guard who wanted to leave and wanted to leave, and the guard with a saber on his waist in front of him always said to let him wait, saying that the old general said early in the morning that he wanted to go to Xiao's Mansion, and now he is washing, and it's almost there.

Steward Xiao still had suspicions, but he thought that he had come to know Xiao Xiangfu, and these people should not treat him well.

Even if the young lady and the marriage with General Chu did not work out, the old general Chu also went to Xiao Mansion to express his regrets, and said that even if the Xiao and Chu families did not become in-laws, they would be in-laws.

Steward Xiao scoffed at this matter, thinking that this old general Chu would really stick it up, and he was not a family member and still went to talk about it, didn't this add to the blockage of his family Xiao Xiang?

Later, because of this matter, his family specially talked to him, and asked him to be respectful to the old general, even if he was unwilling in his heart, he had to show great respect on his face.

If anyone dared to give him such treatment in the past, he would have left a long time ago, and he was still waiting, but he couldn't figure out what Xiangye meant to this old general, and he didn't dare to be disrespectful to him.

……

Chu Yi sat in the room for a while and said, "You can send someone to see if the army in the northwest has arrived?"

Ah Si was also full of anxiety, and said there: "Back to the young master, according to the report of the people below, I haven't seen the shadow yet, but it may be soon."

"Yes, then we can only wait, I can't move now, I won't move if the enemy doesn't move."

"Yes, but the subordinates replied that there seemed to be a change on Xiao Yan's side."

"What's going on?" Chu Yi was afraid that things would change, so he hurriedly asked back.

"It was the person sent by his subordinates to monitor that came back and said that Xiao Yan went early in the morning, and that Zhuangzi was very quiet before, and he was afraid that someone would find out that there were people inside, but now it was noisy inside, I don't know what he was doing?"

"Oh, it looks like he's going to make a move," Chu Yi stood up and walked to the window.

"Young master, it's really not good, we can only fight hard to see, our people don't say that one enemy is almost the same, it must be more than enough to deal with Xiao Yan's people. ”

"No, don't act rashly, look at the movement first, it's really not possible to fight, besides, it's useless if the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry"

Gong Que has not heard from him, I don't know how this person is arranged, he doesn't believe that this person has no backhand, and the person who dares to compete with Xiao Xiang will be honest like this, and he won't believe it.

So he didn't move, one wanted to see how Xiao Xiang was, and the other wanted to see if this palace prince was a person worthy of trust.

Gong Que was sitting in the mansion at this time, and a black-clothed waiter under him was respectfully saying:

"The prince I is ready, the brothers have been ordered, and they are waiting for the signal to move"

"Don't worry, wait and see, before dark at the latest, there are not many of us, it's best to wait for General Chu to move first"

"But Lord Wang, the subordinates seem to be waiting for the meaning of General Chu."

Gong Que smiled, "It's okay, don't worry! He can't afford to wait, didn't you say that the carriage of Xiaofu went?"

"Yes, I went early in the morning, it seems that I went to pick up General Chu Cai"

"Then it's easy to say, this king bets that Xiao Xiang will take action in less than an hour, you send someone to keep an eye on these two places for me, and if there is any change, I will immediately inform this king"

He believed that Xiao Xiang waited for the news for a long time and did not reply, and he would not know that there was anything wrong.

And after Chu Yi waited for Xiao Xiang to make a move, he would move completely, so as long as the two sides competed with each other, everything would be a foregone conclusion if he made a slight move.

It's just "By the way, that prince Yatu will definitely take action tonight, you secretly sent someone to arrest him and take care of him, remember, don't let people find out, wait for the overall situation, it's easy to say anything"

"Yes," the man in black said, turning to leave.

"By the way, that Tao girl?"

The man in black seemed to know what the prince meant, and hurriedly said: "Miss Tao was sent away by General Chu early in the morning, so the prince can rest assured."

"That's good, let's go!"

"Yes"

The black-clothed man knew that the prince was different from this Tao girl, and he could think of her at this time, which showed the status of this person in the prince's heart.

Gong Que sat down in the room for a while and then went out of the room, and said to the waiter outside the door: "Go, accompany me to see the queen mother, I haven't seen her old man for a long time."

……

Xiao Xiang was pacing back and forth in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xiao Yan was reporting back that "Steward Xiao has been going for an hour and hasn't come back yet"

"It's okay, wait a minute, is the person you sent to check on Xue'er's affairs back?"

"Not yet, but it's time to have a result, but father, what are we waiting for this result to do, everything is there! I'd rather kill by mistake than let one go, as long as the surname Chu is taken down, everything will be easy to say"

Xiao Xiang scolded there, "Stupid, what do you think I mean to tolerate the surname Chu like this, it's not that as long as he is in the northwest barbarians, he doesn't dare to fight back, if it weren't for your big ...... The emperor can't support this government, why should I cater to it like this, now that Dachang has just stood firm, as long as there is no big incident, I don't want to move this person first, let him be famous for a few more days, so as to give us time to breathe"

Xiao Yan sneered when he heard this, and said there: "It's not a big ...... The emperor is useless, why should we be like this, if you want me to see that he is not the material to be the emperor, there is no emperor at all......"

"Shut up" Xiao Xiang was furious, "I know what you think, you quickly put away your careful thoughts for me, let me know what you are sorry for the emperor, don't blame me for not thinking about the relationship between father and son"

Xiao Yan hurriedly shut up, but he was obviously unconvinced, he could be the emperor if he was born in a family, but he couldn't, why?

Xiao Xiang looked at his eldest son and hated him in his heart, with his decades of success, why didn't he teach a smart son, but he was a stupid person.

The same is true for the emperor today, since the emperor took it away from him, he has been raising it by his side, and he has always been cultivated as a prince, why didn't he raise an emperor to look like, but he is a soft guy with soft ears and no ideas, over the years, if he is not for this child, then he will work like this, not for the king, but for the king, if he has been hard for many years, these old ministers will not allow him at all, now there are external troubles, he has been resisting, these people have already overthrown him.

Now the situation is finally stable, if there is no big movement, he really doesn't want to move anyone, but today there is no way, seeing that Chu Yi's power and prestige are getting bigger and bigger, it would be good to say if he became his son-in-law, but obviously this thing is impossible, if he doesn't hold Chu Yi in his hands, there is a possibility that someone will pinch him in his hands, so he will never allow this kind of thing to happen.

If he threatens him, he will then threaten the emperor, so even if he fights for his old life, he will protect the emperor's thoughtfulness.

Xiao Xiang thought of this and said to the rebel below: "Go, let's see what's going on, if Steward Xiao doesn't come back, we can't sit still, if the enemy moves, we have to move, and has the person sent to the palace arrived?"

Xiao Yan said dissatisfiedly: "I have been there a long time ago, I sent someone to sneak through the secret passage early in the morning, and now I should have arrived at the palace."

"You send someone to take a look, in case something happens, you have to find a way to help."

How is it possible, who will know about that secret passage! Xiao Yan thought disapprehantly, and he didn't plan to send someone to see it, but he said "yes" in his mouth

After the father and son discussed the countermeasures, they waited for the development of the situation.

……

Chu Yi didn't wait for the army to arrive, he secretly gave an order, and only let a small part of the Northwest Army come over, thinking that as long as these people can deal with Xiao Xiang, it will be too conspicuous, and they will also compete to weaken the strength of the northwest, so he asked his subordinates to check his movements on the one hand, and waited for the arrival of this force on the other.

Gu's subordinates reported that the private soldiers raised by Xiao Yan's Zhuangzi were also one enemy and ten generals, just to become a combat force at a critical moment.

Now even if he counts the hundreds of people he brought with him, he is not Xiao Xiang's opponent at all, so he thought of borrowing troops.

The strength of the capital cannot be moved without the emperor's edict, this is an eternal truth, even if Xiao Xiang experiences no more harm, he will not be able to move.

Therefore, the time that Chu Yi and Gong Que can buy is to take down this person directly when the emperor has not yet issued an edict, otherwise the people in the capital will definitely be affected, which he does not want to see, and it is best to solve this matter without using force.

"Ah Si, have you gone to see if the palace prince has entered the palace?"

Ah Si didn't understand very much, and secretly said What is this prince doing in the palace now? Aren't you afraid of harming yourself? Even if you want to take advantage of the fisherman, it is not appropriate to enter the palace now, but he still replied "yes"

……

As soon as Gong Que entered the palace and arrived outside the door, the spies of Xiao Mansion told Xiao Xiang about it.

"He entered the palace? At this time, you are not mistaken" Xiao Xiang still didn't believe it, there was someone who dared to enter the tiger's den at this time, but this person did enter at this time, what does it mean? The people in the palace are all his people, don't you know? Or will he be wrong, nothing will happen.
