Chapter 378: Who is the Prey, Lively (2nd Update)

"Huangfu Cang fled alone, there should be a backhand."

Qin Yunshang concisely explained the situation to Feng Ye.

Feng Ye nodded when he heard this: "I will send someone to keep an eye on it, and those southwest troops will be in trouble with the world." ”

Qin Yunshang let out a soft 'um' and asked casually: "Haven't the queen and the emperor returned to the palace yet?" ”

"Nope." Feng Ye said.

Qin Yunshang knew about the disappearance of Ji Junyue and Qin Lanxue, and this was also the time when Ji Junyue explained that Qi Qianying and the others did not need to hide him, which was regarded as a kind of trust to him, but except for Feng Ye and Qi Qianying, no one knew where the two went and what they did.

After getting the answer, Qin Yunshang didn't say much to Feng Ye, after the two broke off contact, Qin Yunshang continued to entangle the southwest army that was left behind by Huang Fu Cang, and Feng Ye sent a foreign army of people to spread out from the imperial city to find Huang Fu Cang, and monitor his every move.

Not only that, Feng Ye, who rushed to the imperial city that night, also sent a team to monitor the movements of civil and military officials, and as long as they found any abnormal movements, they were directly arrested.

The residences of the courtiers of the Emperor's Party were secretly protected by a bloodthirsty regiment to prevent the dogs of the various parties from jumping over the wall.

On May 29, when the southeast army was blocked when passing through Nantaizhou, on the slope of Changxi, when the 100,000 southeast army marched to the bottom of the slope, countless Dou army appeared from the wide and boundless low slope to surround them, the leader Ding Chang's expression changed.

Watching the crowd push away on both sides, and Dou Zhan, who was riding a group of black horses, walked from the crowd, Ding Chang's eyes were solemn, but his face was smiling.

"I didn't expect General Dou to have been waiting here for a long time."

Dou Zhan looked at Ding Chang and didn't say anything to persuade him, but said calmly: "The soldiers and horses you brought today will either go back to the southeast, or you can only stay on the boundary of this Southern Taizhou." ”

Ding Chang is the person of the Qing King, and the Qing King not only has the grace to save his life, but also the grace of knowing him, plus Ding Chang is an extremely loyal person, it is impossible to betray the Qing King, so Dou Zhan knows that it is impossible to persuade him to surrender today, and there is only one battle.

Ding Chang smiled happily: "Haha...... It was Ding Chang's honor to be able to fight with General Dou, and it was also what Ding Chang had been looking forward to. ”

The war was about to break out, and Dou Zhan only brought 80,000 people with him, but it was enough to deal with Ding Chang's 100,000 army, and his purpose was not to completely eliminate, but to delay.

As soon as this battle began, it continued to fight until the day when everything in the imperial city was settled......

The day of June is about to usher in the hot summer, the blue sky and white clouds, the dazzling warm sun, shining on the imperial city is smeared with a thriving and hot air, the people are living as always, but they don't know what kind of bloody turmoil is brewing in the court under such a sunny time.

In the study of the Marquis of Yong's mansion, the Marquis of Yong took a secret letter from the butler's hand, and a strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes, mixed with a little excitement and excitement, and after a while, he waved his hand to the housekeeper, and only said to the air after the housekeeper exited the study.

"Chong Cause."

As a call fell, a black shadow appeared in the study out of thin air, kneeling in front of the Marquis of Yong.

"Tonight, I will lead people to control all the families of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, the Criminal Ministry Shangshu Mansion, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Mansion, the Right Capital Yushi Mansion, and the Fengtian Mansion Yin Mansion, as well as the family of An Lanying, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and the family of Xu Louyun, the commander of the Praetorian Guard."

"Yes!"

Chong responded and disappeared into the study.

The Marquis of Yong's Mansion is the henchman of the Wang family, and he has always had real power, and he has 30,000 soldiers in his hands, but the 30,000 soldiers were confiscated after Qin Lanxue took power, but in private, the Marquis of Yong cultivated a group of dead soldiers early in order to support the Wang family to seize power in the future.

Although the number of people is small, only five hundred, it is enough to be less than a team of two thousand, and this is the right time to come in handy.

Lan Xiangmo, who was standing at the door and listened to everything in his ears, knocked on the door with a calm face, and when he heard the voice, his expression tightened, and he said quickly: "Who! ”

"Father, it's me."

When Hou Yonghou heard this, his family breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but his brows were slightly twisted together, and he said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”

Lan Xiangmo pushed the door in, and before he could speak, Yu Yonghou looked at him sharply: "When did you come?" ”

"Back to my father, my son has just arrived." Lan Xiangmo bowed his head respectfully and replied.

Looking at Lan Xiangmo's respectful appearance with low eyebrows, Yuyong Hou's sharp gaze slowly faded a little, but he still stared at him, and made sure again: "Did you hear anything?" ”

Lan Xiangmo replied unhurriedly: "No." ”

Hearing this, Marquis Yong looked at Lan Xiangmo deeply, whether he really didn't hear it, or he was telling him that he would pretend not to hear, it didn't matter, anyway, as long as his surname was Lan and he was his son, he must not betray him.

After being sure in his heart, the Marquis of Yu Yong put away the sharp color in his eyes and asked lightly: "What are you looking for me at this time?" ”

Lan Xiangmo didn't raise his head to explain his intentions: "Another month is my father's birthday, and I want to go out of the house to find a birthday gift for my father." ”

Let's not say that there will be changes in the imperial city in the past two days, let's just say that Lan Xiangmo may have heard something that he shouldn't have heard just now, and Marquis Yong would not let him go out and run around, almost without thinking about it, Marquis Yong said in a hurry.

"It's enough for you to have this heart, the security in the imperial city has not been very good recently, so it's better for you to stay in the mansion and take care of one or two."

Lan Xiangmo didn't say much when he heard this, but just responded obediently: "The son listens to his father." ”

After leaving the study, Lan Xiangmo returned to his courtyard with a flat expression, and his calm eyes only faintly appeared a dark color until this time, and he returned to the study and sat alone for a while, and suddenly wrote a secret letter in a different font than usual, and called out loudly.

"Blue sky."

Blue Sky, who was hidden in the shadows, flashed in front of Lan Xiangmo and said, "What does the master have to explain?" ”

"Quickly send this letter to ......" Speaking of this, Lan Xiangmo's voice suddenly stopped, as if he was thinking about who to send it to, after all, it was daytime, and many ministers were either working in the palace or had just come out of the palace, and if they suddenly returned, it would inevitably attract attention.

And An Lanying and Xu Louyun are both on duty in the palace, if they send the letter directly to the palace, they are afraid that they will be arrested by the guards patrolling around before they get close to the two of them or close to Changxing Palace.

After all, the strength of the Imperial Forest Army is not the same as before......

As for the Zhongyi Palace, although he has now taken refuge in the emperor, he is still not very relieved.

Seeing Lan Xiangmo fall into deep thought, Lan Tian didn't urge, standing quietly in place and waiting.

After thinking for a moment, Lan Xiangmo said: "Send it to Zhang's Mansion to Zhang Xi'an, if he is not there, take it to the city to send it to General Liang of the Xuewei Battalion, be sure to ensure that the content of this letter reaches the palace, and don't reveal your identity." ”

"My subordinates understood."

Lan Tian took the letter and put it away carefully, then carefully avoided the secret guards in the mansion and headed towards Zhang's mansion.

Today, Zhang Xi'an happened to be resting, accompanied his parents and brother out for a good walk, when Lan Tian came to Zhang's mansion, he carefully investigated, and found that none of the masters of Zhang's mansion were there, so he had to turn around and leave the snow guard camp outside the city.

But I didn't want to see the Zhang family who came back from the game when I left Zhang's house, and Zhang Xi'an was also among them.

Lan Tian wanted to leave for a moment, and quietly returned to Zhang's mansion, he knew a little bit about this Zhang Xi'an, or should it be said that no one in all parties did not know him, after all, it was the queen mother who brought him back.

Li Ergou and Liang Yu, who followed the queen mother, were both made generals, and the five hundred bloodthirsty regiments that were protected all the way were also canonized, but this young man who also followed the queen mother into the city did not have any reward, and was thrown into the Xiaocai battalion to become an ordinary recruit.

Such an unexpected thing attracted the attention of many people, and naturally their eyes fell on Zhang Xi'an, but after observing for a while, they found that this Zhang Xi'an was only picked up on the queen's road, and there was no ability worthy of people's attention, so the forces of all parties withdrew their eyes and ignored it.

Lan Tian thought that the master suddenly asked him to hand the secret letter to Zhang Xi'an, he should have thought that Zhang Xi'an was a confidant of the queen's mother, although he personally felt that this kid was nothing special.

When Zhang Xi'an returned to his yard to change clothes, a dart flew in from the window in the blue sky, Zhang Xi'an heard the sound of the wind in the air, turned sideways to avoid it, and the dart grazed his sleeve and nailed it to the screen behind him.

Zhang Xi'an looked at the letter nailed on the dart, his eyes shot sharply out of the window, even if he knew that the other party couldn't see him, Lan Tian still couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat, it was really this child's young age, but his eyes were extremely sharp like a knife, and the cold was chilling.

However, when he saw Zhang Xi'an, he didn't take down the letter as soon as he saw it, but walked into the inner room, Lan Tian's face was slightly dark, and he rolled his eyes towards the sky, this kid shouldn't have hated him for deliberately shooting at his arm, so he didn't read the letter, right?!

Just when Lan Tian was thinking about how to let Zhang Xi'an read the letter, Zhang Xi'an walked out of the inner room, stretched out his hand and took the letter down, and when he read the content of the letter, his expression changed, and his face was full of solemnity.

After hesitating for a moment, he packed the letter, tore off a small piece of tablecloth, wrapped the letter and put it in the hidden pocket of his sleeve, and left quickly.

Lan Tian followed behind with a complicated expression, thinking of Zhang Xi'an's behavior of coming out with gloves to open the letter just now, and finally wrapping it in an airtight cloth with a cloth, and finally understood why the master would let him send the letter to Zhang Xi'an, a child, such a cautious person could never be an ordinary person.

When Zhang Xi'an arrived at the gate of the palace, he handed over a token to the guards guarding the door, the token was given to Zhang Xi'an by Ji Junyue for convenience, and there was no role in dispatching troops at any time, nor did it represent any identity, but with this token, if he had any urgent matter to enter the palace to see Ji Junyue, he could enter the palace unimpeded, but he could only be alone.

After the guards determined the token, they sent someone to take him into the palace, and Lan Tian left to return to the palace after confirming that Zhang Xi'an had entered the palace.

When Xiao Lingzi received the legend that Zhang Xi'an entered the palace, he thought that something should have happened, after all, this was the first time he had used that token to enter the palace since he came to the imperial city for more than half a year.

After Zhang Xi'an saw Xiao Lingzi, he said with a heavy expression: "Please also ask my father-in-law to bring my subordinates down to meet Your Majesty, my subordinates have important matters to report." ”

Xiao Lingzi collected the solemnity between Zhang Xi'an's eyebrows and eyes, nodded and said, "You come with me." ”

Then Xiao Lingzi took Zhang Xi'an to Changxing Palace, and when Qi Qianying saw Zhang Xi'an take out a letter from his arms and hand him the gloves in his hand, he raised his eyebrows interestingly.

"You kid is cautious, don't worry, there is no poison on this letter."

After Qi Qianying finished speaking, she took the letter and unfolded it and looked at it, although Zhang Xi'an heard that although he was curious about how the emperor was sure that the letter was not poisonous, but he had already taken the letter with his hand, and he couldn't say anything.

Xiao Lingzi carefully looked at Zhang Xi'an on the side, and with his prudence and carefulness, he deserved to look at him differently, and he was worthy of being the person who could give the queen a chance.

After reading the letter, Qi Qianying handed the letter to Xiao Lingzi, and said with a faint smile: "It's a good plan, but it's a pity that they can't count her despite their calculations." "And Qin Lanxue.

Qi Qianying didn't say the last sentence, but Xiao Lingzi understood.

As early as when the Empress and Her Majesty left, they had predicted everything that would happen, and the Empress had already reminded them that once there was any movement from all parties, they would immediately send people to protect the courtiers and family members who supported His Majesty.

Just three days ago, the people of the Bloodthirsty Regiment had been stationed in the shadows of the provinces, as long as they dared to make a move, it was not certain who would kill whom and who would control whom in the end.

Zhang Xi'an listened to the emperor's meaningful words, and thought of Ji Junyue for a moment, could it be that the queen had predicted today's incident before leaving? !

If it's true, then the queen is really terrible......

"You go back, look at the people in the Xiao Cavalry Camp, and if anyone moves, go and follow the Snow Guard Camp."

What are you doing with the Xue Wei Battalion, Qi Qianying didn't say, with Zhang Xi'an's cleverness and cunning, she can guess a little, but I'm afraid that something is going to happen in this imperial city.

"Who do you say will deliver the news to Zhang Xi'an?" Qi Qianying looked at Xiao Lingzi with interest.

Xiao Lingzi smiled slowly: "The people of the Bloodthirsty Corps should be able to track it, and the emperor is waiting." ”

Qi Qianying shrugged noncommittally, stood up and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to get ready, we will start to have a lively scene tonight." ”

Isn't? Some time ago, news came from Fengye that Huangfu Cang left the southwest army and left alone to join the private army of the Zhuan Sun family who had infiltrated the vicinity of the imperial city, and waited for the people in the city to control the families of the ministers tonight, restraining An Lanying and Xu Louyun's hands and feet, and attacking the imperial city in one fell swoop.

That night, countless black shadows rushed into the mansions, but before they could make a move, another group of people in black suits suddenly appeared around, and a fight began, even if they were ruthlessly killed, but the other party seemed to know their tricks, and even used more decisive moves than them to make them to death.

But in a moment, only a few of the more than thirty black-clothed people were killed by the other party, not that no one wanted to escape, but they couldn't escape at all, and these people didn't think about staying alive, so it was a fatal move to kill them all.

The situation in each mansion was almost identical, but none of the black-clothed people who broke in were wiped out by the Bloodthirsty Legion, and after all the people were killed, some changed into each other's clothes and left, while others concentrated the corpses on the ground.

The family members in the mansion all gathered quietly in a courtyard for a night, and although they were frightened, none of them had an accident.

Late at night, the black-clothed leaders of the teams who went out to run errands returned to the Mansion of Marquis Yong, all of them wore face towels, Marquis Yonghou only thought that they were acting for convenience, and because he was worried about the progress of the matter, his whole attention was also on what they were doing, and he hurriedly asked.

"How's it going?"

"The family members of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion are all under control."

"The family members of the commander of the Royal Forest Army are also under control."

……

With the report sentence by sentence, the smile on Yu Yonghou's face became stronger and stronger, and finally waved at a few people and said, "Go and watch carefully, don't have any accidents." ”

After the people left, the Marquis of Yong asked Chong Yin to go to the Wenguo Mansion to report the news.

However, not long after Chong Yin left, the Marquis of Yu Yong was knocked unconscious from behind.

"This dead old man is really tired of being alive, what is not good to play, he dares to follow the parties to play rebellion, he is simply looking for death."

A young man sneered and kicked the stunned Yonghou and laughed, and a person next to him picked up the Yonghou and said, "Let's go, this old guy won't survive anyway." ”
