As the news continued to spread, the situation in Kyoto became more and more tense, and the news of the emperor's disappearance was processed and exaggerated by well-intentioned people, which had already made the people of Kyoto begin to panic, and some large families even began to plan to flee. Seeing that it is approaching May and the weather is gradually getting warmer, An Qingchen has always felt sad these days, he doesn't know the taste of food, and often spits sour water in his mouth, I don't know if it's because of the weather, or if he eats something unclean. Nowadays, the shape of Kyoto still makes her quite worried, Zhou Xiao's plan is being implemented step by step, but the feelings of the people of Kyoto still have to be controlled.

She endured an upset stomach, summoned Fu Tianling, and ordered: "Fu Shangshu, you send people to the major city gates in Kyoto to post some notices for the people, as far as the emperor is currently supervising the war in Jizhou, the disappearance is purely a rumor." ”

Fu Tianling took the order and left.

Qingchen rubbed his sore forehead and couldn't help but get irritable.

At this moment, An Mingxia hurriedly entered the palace and came to Fengxiang Palace, just passing by Fu Tianling. As soon as Qingchen heard the report from the palace people, he immediately went out to greet him, and when he saw An Mingxia's solemn face and hurried expression, he couldn't help asking, "Father, why are you in such a hurry?" ”

An Mingxia presented the battle report in his hand and said: "King Rui's army has arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, and currently occupies the palace on the outskirts of Beijing, and Kyoto has been surrounded. ”

Qingchen was shocked in his heart and said, "So fast? "Less than two months before Zhou Xiao's personal expedition, Zhou Yun's army fought from Youzhou to Kyoto, that is, they did not encounter resistance at all along the way.

"The defense of Kyoto has been arranged, please rest assured."

"Father, does Fu Shangshu know about this?"

"This news has just been received by the Father. I haven't had time to inform General Fu yet. And ......"

"What's the matter, my father might as well be straight."

"Half of the officials in Beijing have a tendency to defect to the enemy......

"Half of them...... So much? ”

"According to the spies of the Ministry of War, there are indeed as many as half."

Father thought. How should we respond to the current situation? ”

An Mingxia pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know what the queen wants to do with these people who have surrendered to the enemy?" ”

An Qingchen did not hide it, and directly conveyed Zhou Xiao's meaning: "The emperor means that he wants to root these tumors ∝ ↘ ∝ ↘ ∝ ↘ ∝↘, and m.∧.com★to prevent future troubles." It's just that if there are a large number of people who oppose the party, I am afraid it will affect the foundation of the Great Zhou......"

"What does the queen mean. It's ......"

"Just kill the chickens and make an example of the monkeys, these days, if there are ministers who want to go out of the city. The father might as well take care of the ......, these people, the daughter will send someone to deal with them at that time. ”

An Mingxia frowned and said, "What does the queen plan to do?" ”

Qingchen listened to An Mingxia's mouthful, queen's mother. I felt very uncomfortable in my heart: "Father." In Fengxiang Palace, there is only you and me, father and daughter, and there is no need to be polite everywhere, and my daughter is upset when I hear it. ”

An Mingxia smiled slightly, and changed her words: "Chen'er, there are some things that can be done for my father, don't dirty my hands." ”

Qingchen suddenly felt the corners of his eyes sour when he heard this: "Father...... My daughter will grow up one day, not to mention. Entered this deep palace and stood at the highest point of the imperial city. Whose hands can be clean! As long as you have a clear conscience and dirty hands, father, no matter how things change, the daughter assures the father that the daughter's heart will always be clean. ”

An Mingxia raised her eyes and looked at her beloved daughter, this girl who was once ignorant of the world, seemed to have grown up overnight, although she knew that her daughter was no longer what she used to be, but today's words from Qingchen still made An Mingxia deeply shocked: His dust is no longer his treasure alone, she now belongs to the Great Zhou, belongs to the entire dynasty, and her light is dazzling.

In May of the third year of Xianning, Kyoto was trapped, and the officials in the city turned against each other, and a group of officials headed by Liu Taifu went out of the city overnight and took refuge in King Rui, and the people in Beijing were even more panicked. However, strange things happened three days later, the fifteen officials who defected to the enemy all died violently overnight, only Liu Taifu, because he happened to be invited to the suburbs of Beijing to the palace and survived, the other officials in Beijing suddenly everyone was in danger, the people in Beijing did not leave their homes at night, and the Great Zhou Kyoto was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Qingchen listened to Mei Wanchun's report, her heart was sad, and her hands began to be stained with blood. These fifteen officials all died at the hands of the Dark Pavilion, and Qingchen didn't expect that the efficiency of these people in the rivers and lakes would be so high, as for Liu Ruyuan, let Zhou Xiao deal with it himself. She turned the teacup in her hand and asked, "Wan Chun, do you think it's right or wrong for me to do this?" ”

Mei Wanchun is still a child: "If you do everything, don't care about right or wrong, Young Master Ben never cares about right or wrong, do what you want, do what you want, do what you want, as long as you are happy." ”

Qingchen smiled, I envy Mei Wanchun's lawless temper, only when I was a child would I have such a "romantic" idea, when the March period comes, let him go, this temper is really not suitable for the court. Qingchen changed the topic and said, "Xu'er, has anyone been making trouble recently?" ”

"Hmph, with me Mei Wanchun here, who dares to make trouble, the old witch has come a few times, and she was frightened by me, so she didn't dare to come again, and she was sick for several days when she heard it, and she was too frightened."

Qingchen smiled secretly in his belly: Empress Dowager Liu met the soldiers this time.

"Wanchun, in another month, your task will be completed, and then you will take the remaining 1,500 taels of silver to explore the rivers and lakes."

"Then come, maybe Young Master Ben wants to stay a few more days, after all, there are really few places in this world that my father can't find. Besides, with such a good opponent as you, Young Master Ben still wants to practice more. ”

finished, walked out of Fengxiang Hall without looking back, and a sentence floated in the air: "I'm going to protect your baby Xu'er, in case there is a bad pool, the remaining 1,500 taels will be in the soup." ”

Qingchen looked at his back, shook his head and smiled.

Before the smile on the corner of his mouth fell, the palace people sent a letterhead, which came in from the palace gate, about urgent military affairs, so the palace people did not dare to slack off.

Qingchen opened it and saw a line of words: Today's unitary time, about the deceased to gather in the drunken fairy building. The following signature is just one word: Yes.

Old man, it seems that this letter was sent by Zhou Yun. The Drunken Immortal Tower is in the city of Kyoto, if Zhou Yun wants to come to meet her alone, he is not afraid that she will take this opportunity to take him down......

However, if he dared to come alone, he must be fully prepared...... You still have to think about it. She looked up at the sun, and there were still about two hours before the unitary hour.

"Someone, change clothes! Also, go to the Xingyue Residence to invite Young Master Mei! The palace people left in response.

Qingchen changed into a neat set of men's clothes, and as soon as Mei Wanchun arrived, he immediately said: "I want to go out of the palace, and you are responsible for protecting my safety." ”

Mei Wanchun pouted and said, "You are better at kung fu than me, do you still need the protection of Young Master Ben?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, whether you go or not, I'm here to provide you with a good opportunity to practice, the masters on the rivers and lakes are like clouds, what's the use of you practicing against me every day!"

As soon as he heard this, Mei Wanchun immediately jumped up: "I'll go, I'll go, it's not early!" ”

Qingchen took Mei Wanchun and came to the General's Mansion first, and when he saw that the door of the mansion was open, he walked in by himself, feeling strange in his heart, what happened today, why didn't Anfu even have a gatekeeper. Walking through the martial arts training ground, I finally ran into a maid, Qingchen hurriedly pulled her and asked, "Where did General An go?" ”

The maid trembled and said, "The general went out in a hurry just now, and I heard that something happened in the Drunken Immortal Building......

"Drunken Immortal Building!" Could it be that Zhou Yun made a move, Qingchen was shocked, if someone sneaked into Kyoto at this time, the situation might not be good. Qingchen let go of the girl and said to Mei Wanchun: "Go, follow me to the Drunken Immortal Building!" (To be continued...... ）
