The sun shines on the table through the window, the pool of water slides to the corner of the table, ticking down, Mu Ruolan stares at the dripping water marks, and then slowly raises her eyes, "The prince has been trapped in the imperial city for many years, except for this splendid palace, there is no real power in the court, there are no soldiers and horses in his hands, and the camp has been walking on thin ice for so many years, step by step, tricks and calculations, now that the holy capital has been broken, people from all sides have ill intentions, and it is impossible to win or lose for a while, and the one who can save himself and laugh to the end in this turmoil is the winner."

Li Muding looked at her, "What does Ruolan have a high opinion?" As she said, now he doesn't have enough chips to fight for that position, once Li You dies, under the competition of all forces, his chances of winning are not great, that is, he ascends to the throne with the support of the Zhou family, and the foundation is unstable and crumbling.

Mu Ruolan said, "The Zhou family has a heavy army, and they have long been dissatisfied with being under the ranks, so they helped the prince to usurp the throne, and when Concubine Zhou gave birth to a child, there will be no need for the prince to exist." But at this moment, when the rebels entered the city, the soldiers and horses of all parties gathered, and the swords were tense, the arrows had to be fired, otherwise everything before would be meaningless. Ruolan thought that before the prince was not fully sure, it was better to temporarily let the leader out, let them fight first, wear out their combat effectiveness, pull out their hole cards, let them fight each other, and fight to the death is the best policy. ”

After being silent for a long time, Li Muyu thought about it carefully, and then said softly, "Ruolan's meaning is to let Li You and the Zhou family ...... But Li You is afraid of the Zhou family, and it is impossible to oppose it openly, after all, my Tianshuo Kingdom still needs the Zhou family to be stationed in the north to protect the family and defend the country. ”

Mu Ruolan said lightly, "Li You doesn't dare to move the Zhou family, so let the Zhou family move Li You." ”

Without much delay, after talking with Li Mu in the study, Mu Ruolan left the three hundred elite soldiers she brought in the palace and rode to another mansion.

The streets were empty, and the banners were blown by the wind.

The palace was given, the door of the mansion was wide open, Mu Ruolan saw it and sighed in her heart, jumped off the horse and ran over.

The servants and attendants in the mansion were still there, Mu Ruolan hurriedly walked to the main courtyard, and found that the people from the Eastern Regions who were mixed in the guards had disappeared, and her heart couldn't help but sink a little.

Looking at the study room with unchanged furnishings, Mu Ruolan only needed a glance to conclude that Tanglin Qing had left.

Did you leave last night? Don't you say goodbye......

Walking slowly to the door, the summer sun was gorgeous, but Mu Ruolan felt cold, she looked up at the blue sky, and the corners of her lips curved in a mocking arc.

It's okay to go.

Whoever forsakes me will not remain in the day of yesterday;

Those who disturb my heart will have many troubles today.

Darkwing led a group of cavalry to wait outside the door, and when he saw her figure appear at the door, he jumped off his horse, caught up, and whispered in her ear, "Duanmu Xiong has entered the palace." ”

Her footsteps didn't stop, "What about Zhou Yu?" ”

"Rush to the palace with more than 20 elites of the cavalry battalion, it should be half an hour late Duanmuxiong."

Mu Ruolan let out a soft 'um' sound, turned over on her horse, and threw her braided hair behind her, "Go back to Mingyue Villa." ”

In an instant, a dozen horses galloped through the empty streets, their hooves thundering, rolling up a puff of dust and smoke, and soon disappeared at the end of the road.

Mingyue Villa is on the outskirts of the eastern part of the city, when passing through the east city gate, Mu Ruolan stopped at the horse, the ground was dazzling blood red, and most of the people from the corpses on the ground could be distinguished from the clothes of the corpses on the ground.

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

Li Youcheng paced his steps repeatedly, his face full of anxiety and panic.

These days, he was disturbed by the rebels outside the city and was depressed, he couldn't sleep at night, he was annoyed by the old ministers during the day, and at night he wanted to be lucky with a few new beauties who entered the palace to relieve the pressure, but he didn't know that he was unbearably strong for a few days, and finally took the big tonic pills and was hot all over, and according to the beauty, he was going to get away with it, and he didn't expect it to leak as soon as he entered, and what was even more hateful was that the beauty who was happy for the first time didn't even break the membrane, and the mattress was not red at all. Embarrassed and indignant, he picked up the bronze incense burner the size of his head and smashed the flower-like beauty to the point that his brain burst. Last night, he swallowed a handful of big tonic pills without believing in evil, and he counted the women overnight, and finally found some of his former majesty, which made the women under him scream, and finally collapsed on the belly of the beauty and fell asleep. As soon as dawn came, he was so shocked by the news that the rebels had broken through Xicheng and rolled off the dragon bed.

"The West City Gate is guarded by 50,000 Imperial Forest Army, as well as the Soldiers and Horses Division and the Praetorian Guard, how can it be easily broken by the rabble? Du Xin, you are the Imperial Forest Army, you give me an explanation. ”

Du Xin, a scholar, said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Your Majesty, although the minister is a supervisor of the army, he does not have the right to transfer the Imperial Forest Army at will. Xicheng is indeed a heavily guarded fortress, but last night when Dongcheng was raided by unknown people, the other party has powerful firearms, Zhou Commander quickly transferred the soldiers and horses of Xicheng to support, and then the rebels attacked the West City Gate with all their might, and everyone then understood the other party's plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain. ”

"Bastard." Li Youyang smashed the teacup in his hand with his hand, and his eyes twitched due to excessive indulgence, "Tens of thousands of rebels have broken the imperial city, if the Liao Xing soldiers from the north and south of the desert come to attack, won't they even have the strength to parry, you, you ......" He covered his swollen head and sat down on the seat, "What should I do now?" ”

All the ministers turned their eyes to Du Xin, and when they saw him staring at him and being silent, they all lowered their heads.

At this time, the inner chamberlain hurriedly came to report that Pingyang Hou Duanmuxiong, who was being grounded, broke into the palace to see the emperor despite the obstruction.

"What are the Praetorian Guards doing, let him go." Li Youzheng is full of fire and has nowhere to go, and he sprays everyone when he sees it.

The chamberlain was about to go out, but was stopped by Du Xin.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that Pingyang Hou will enter the palace at this time, so it's better to listen to him."

Li You waved his hand dejectedly, "Then let him in!" ”

The atmosphere in the imperial study was solemn, Duanmu Xiong untied his sword at the door and handed it to the palace people, and saluted after entering the study.

"Your Majesty, if the minister has something to do, please step back from others."

Li You sneered and dismissed the ministers, he wanted to see what this old man had to say.

Looking at Li You's expression, Duanmu Xiong had already expected that the secret guard office would smash what he had explained.

"Your Majesty, those 30,000 rebels are the old man's soldiers and horses."

"What did you say?" Li You got up from his seat with disbelief written in his cloudy eyes.

Duanmuxiong stepped forward and said, "The emperor is angry, and listen to the old man." ”

"What the hell is going on, you tell me clearly." Li You's arms trembled with anger, if he didn't understand the stakes, he really wanted to kill this old thing.

"You'er, you are not the son of the first emperor, but the illegitimate son of the old man and the queen mother......"
