In the palace, although the defense of the city has been quite smooth these days, Xiao Qianye's mood is still not very good. He also knew in his heart that passive defense would never last long, it just depended on how long they could hold out. Glancing at Gong Yuchen, who was sitting leisurely drinking tea, Xiao Qianye gritted his teeth and said, "Palace Pavilion Master, aren't your people very powerful?" Can't you just give King Yan to ......?"

Gong Yuchen shrugged, "If there is no Wei Junmo, if the martial arts of this seat are still there, you can give it a try." ”

Xiao Qianye gritted his teeth, isn't this nonsense?

"Why didn't you just kill King Yan in the first place!" Xiao Qianye gritted his teeth. Gong Yuchen raised his eyebrows, "What is the benefit of killing King Yan to this seat?" "Does Xiao Qianye think he's stupid? If he had killed King Yan directly, now Xiao Qianye would have taken him in his eyes? Isn't the reason why Xiao Qianye needs him because of King Yan's existence?

"So what now? Are we just waiting for the day when Jinling City is broken? ”

Gong Yuchen smiled and said nothing, what does Jinling City have to do with him? This world is not his.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Qianye secretly hated in his heart, but he couldn't help it. I had to change the subject and said: "I heard that you have been arresting people everywhere in Jinling City these days, what are you for?" Gong Yuchen said: "I thought about it carefully, it's better to clean up those eyeliner spies in Jinling City." lest the time comes, His Majesty will capsize in the gutter again. ”

"Zixiao Palace?"

Gong Yuchen held his chin and looked at him with a smile and said: "This seat also admires His Majesty, the first prostitute in Jinling, such a famous figure His Majesty doesn't even know her details." You said that in the past few years, how much information have these people secretly sent to Wei Junmo? ”

Xiao Qianye gritted her teeth and said nothing, her face suddenly darkened, "Did you catch it?" ”

Gong Yuchen sighed with some regret and said, "It is worthy of being a person valued by the county lord of Star City, that girl is clever and ran away in advance." "I don't feel like I'm startling the snake at all." It turns out that the Water Pavilion is nothing more than that. Xiao Qianye sneered. Gong Yuchen was not angry, "Hehe, it is said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake." His Majesty will find her out for this seat. Xiao Qianye snorted lightly and asked people to pass the order to Ying Tianfu Yin and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. Gong Yuchen didn't stop it, in fact, whether he could catch Zi Yan or not was not absolute for him, he just wanted to destroy Zixiao Palace's intelligence system in Jinling. Occasionally, a few fish slip through the net have nothing to do with the big picture.

"I've heard that several families are moving around a lot these days. Doesn't Majesty really think about the construction of this seat? "Gong Yuchen brought up the old things again. Xiao Qianye knew that what he said was about temporarily placing the heads of the families under house arrest in the palace, and frowned slightly: "The important ministers in the court are easy to say, so they should be left in the palace to work." But those families, Vaughn still needs them to pay for food. ”

Gong Yuchen sneered, "Your Majesty still wants to have a good relationship with those people?" Could it be that after the relationship is established, and the city is broken, they are willing to live and die with you instead of taking refuge in King Yan? I'm afraid that these people will scold you the most fiercely, right? Xiao Qianye's face stiffened, and what Gong Yuchen said was the truth. In the eyes of these families, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness are not as important as family reproduction.

"As for money and food, if you refuse to give money and food at this time, don't you just want to commit treason? This kind of person needs to be polite? Gong Yuchen said lazily.

"This..."Xiao Qianye lowered her head and thought.

Gong Yuchen didn't urge him, and sat calmly on the side drinking tea. After a long time, I heard Xiao Qianye's voice sound, "Someone is coming, it is rumored that the heads of the ten major families and the concubines of the mansion have entered the palace!" I have something to discuss. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Gong Yuchen nodded with satisfaction. smiled: "That's right, Your Majesty, sometimes when you are constantly suffering, you will be in trouble." ”

Xiao Qianye snorted lightly and didn't appreciate it, just stared at Gong Yuchen and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Gong Yuchen played with the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "I naturally want to help Your Majesty, now that we are all people in the same boat, what else is there to worry about?" Rest assured, calculating that Jinling City is broken, this seat also guarantees that it will let Majesty see a satisfactory ending. ”

Xiao Qianye closed her eyes and nodded. Even if he didn't trust Gong Yuchen, he wanted to gamble. He absolutely couldn't accept the ending of giving up the throne of the world to King Yan like this, and from then on kneeling at the feet of King Yan and waging his tail and begging for mercy.

Gong Yuchen smiled: "It's good to believe in me." ”

Looking at Xiao Qianye, who was a little lost in front of him, a smile of pleasure appeared on Gong Yuchen's lips. I really didn't lie to you this time, this ending will surprise everyone at all.

At this time, people in several major families in Jinling were indeed panicked. No one would have imagined that at this time, Xiao Qianye would order them to enter the palace. Everyone is a smart person, and it is easy to enter this palace gate, but it is difficult to get out. Although they had the heart to refuse, when they saw the group of guards at the door, many people could only follow helplessly.

The most irresistible aspect of imperial power is its unrivaled force. Even the big families who hardly regard the royal family can only play with power by stratagem, and no one dares to collide with force lightly. In the face of this kind of emperor who directly sent troops to invite regardless of it, no matter how many ideas he had, it was a pipe dream.

Xie Fu

"Xie Hou, a few sons, please."

The Xie family's identity is detached, and the commander of the guards sent to invite people does not dare to slack off, and he is still very respectful.

"Father..."

Xie Peihuan stood beside Old Madam Xie and looked at her father and several brothers with some concern. Although Lin Guifei said before she died, Xie Peihuan could marry freely. But the situation has been unpredictable in recent years, and for a while, no suitable candidate was found. When King Yan raised an army to fight, the Xie family was even less anxious to marry off their own girl. The Xie family can at least protect the girl's safety, in case the future son-in-law is involved in the struggle between the emperor and the king of Yan, even if he is not involved, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not be cannon fodder. That's bad luck. Since I had already planned to be lonely for the rest of my life, now I have the freedom to marry, which is already an unexpected joy. With the prestige of the Xie family, to be honest, I am not afraid that the girl will not be able to marry.

Xie Hou waved slightly at Mrs. Xie, "My son has gone to the palace first, and the house will have to bother his mother and wife." ”

Mrs. Xie Hou also knew that it was not a good thing for Xie Hou to enter the palace this time, so she couldn't help but red her eyes and nodded slightly, "Don't worry, master." ”

Mrs. Xie has crane hair, but her spirit is fine. Apparently an old man who can live a long life. The old man nodded and said, "Don't worry, with my old woman here, there will be nothing in the house." Your father, son, uncle and nephew don't have to worry about the outside when they enter the palace, just take care of yourself. ”

"Thank you, Mother."

Xie Hou said, got up and glanced at the guard, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go." ”

"Xie Hou, please, sons, please."

Several sons of the Xie family also stepped forward to bow down and bow to Mrs. Xie after saying goodbye, and then walked out behind Xie Hou.

"Grandmother, father and brother, are they really all right?" Xie Peihuan looked at Old Madam Xie with some concern, and couldn't help asking. Old Madam Xie sighed slightly, "Even if there is something, what can we do?" The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. "As long as Xiao Qianye still sits in that position for a day, he will be a king. He didn't want to kill anyone, he just wanted his family to go to the palace. If Xie Hou doesn't go, then he really gave the emperor a handle. Disobey the king's order and die innocently.

Hearing this, Xie Peihuan's delicate face couldn't help but turn white, and Mrs. Xie raised her hand to hold the back of her granddaughter's hand and patted it: "What are you afraid of, it's not that time." Go and tell your mother and sister-in-law, calm down, just watch the house. With my old wife here, the Xie family can't do it! ”

"Yes, grandmother." Xie Peihuan also knew that now was not the time to panic, so he quickly calmed down and nodded in response.

Seeing her like this, Old Madam Xie showed a satisfied smile. The old woman had been through too many things in her body, and this situation was not enough for her to be in a mess. It's just ...... "Your Majesty is doing this, but I'm afraid that I don't have any hope in my heart that I can hold the imperial city." ”

Xie Peihuan nodded, frowned slightly, and said: "It's okay if you keep the imperial city, if the city is broken, my father and they ......" The emperor suddenly recruited the heads of various families and their children into the palace, presumably because he was afraid that they would have different intentions and cooperate with King Yan. If the emperor is defeated, if he is softer, it is better to surrender to King Yan. If you are tougher, you may have to drag the heads of the major families in Jinling to accompany the funeral. Such things have not happened in history.

Old Madam Xie raised her hand and rubbed her eyebrows, and said, "The old body has also seen it a few times in his early years, he is gentle and decisive, and he is in a hurry but easy to go to extremes. His grievances with King Yan and Gongzi Wei have been tossed for so many years, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to be good. ”

Xie Peihuan could only sigh secretly in his heart. Although she didn't have much contact with Xiao Qianye, just those few interactions made her not have a very good image. Xiao Qianye was weak and indecisive, but the identity of the emperor's eldest grandson made him a little more self-righteous. Not to mention that he likes to go off the rails, although as an emperor, intrigues and tricks are inevitable, and conspiracy is needed to compete for the throne, but to govern the world, he must rely on yang conspiracy. Xiao Qianye is not standing upright, no wonder it is easy to be led astray. The first emperor was famous, but he didn't expect to make such a big mistake on the issue of heirs.

Let's hope everyone is safe. Xie Pei looked around at the sky outside the door, thinking a little dazedly. Unexpectedly, a friend who hadn't seen him for a long time sounded, if it was Mo'er here, he would definitely not be at a loss like himself, right?

Outside Jinling City, Nangong Mo looked at the letterhead in his hand and tightened his eyebrows.

"What's wrong?" Wei Junmo stretched out his hand to hug her and asked softly.

Nangong Mo raised his hand and handed her the letterhead and said, "I'm a little worried about Zi Yan and them, Gong Yuchen has done something to the people in the city." ”

Wei Junmo looked at it, but he wasn't too worried, "Don't worry too much, they should be fine." ”

"Huh?" Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, and Wei Junmo said: "Even if it is Gong Yuchen, he is not omnipotent. There was always something he couldn't think of. Nangong Mo looked back at him, "You already knew that Gong Yuchen would do it?" ”

Wei Junmo said: "It's not surprising, just like Gong Yuchen also knows that I will do something to his people." "It can also be regarded as a person who has been abandoned, but the difference is that Gong Yuchen really abandoned those people mercilessly, and Wei Junmo will at least arrange a way out for them in advance. Even if there is a loss, it will not be slaughtered without the power to fight back.

Hearing him say this, Nangong Mo also breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good." Gong Yuchen is in Jinling, and most of the masters of the Water Pavilion are also in Jinling, Zi Yan thinks that Xiao Yao is likely to be in Jinling City, but we are not here for a while. This is also the speculation on the last letter sent by Zi Yan, and in the future, at least until the Youzhou army breaks through Jinling, Zi Yan will not be able to provide them with much news.

Wei Junmo frowned slightly, "What do you think of Flawless?" ”

Nangong Mo was silent for a moment and said, "Secret room." There is only a secret room hidden deep underground, if Xiao Xiao is locked in the secret room for a long time, our people may not be able to find it even if they enter the Right Shilang Mansion, and Feifei will not be able to find Xiao Xiao in Jinling City by relying on this taste. ”

Wei Junmo nodded, "It's indeed possible." ”

Nangong Mo's eyes lit up, "Then shall we enter the city now?" ”

Wei Junmo shook his head and said softly: "Gong Yuchen will definitely make people stare at us now, and it is not good for us to act rashly." "Gong Yuchen doesn't need to send someone to keep an eye on them, as long as they don't show up in front of people for a day, Gong Yuchen can guess their whereabouts and purpose. If it is not good for the premature death, they will not be able to stop it.

Nangong Mo was stunned, and it was also worth smiling bitterly, "People are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat?" ”

Wei Junmo snorted lightly, raised his hand and stroked her delicate face, "Who is the fish meat, it's not certain." ”

"Cousin, cousin. Is it there? Xiao Qianjiong's hearty voice came from outside the tent. Wei Junmo said, "Come in." ”

Xiao Qianjiong lifted the curtain and walked in, and said with a smile: "My cousin and sister-in-law are so leisurely." Nangong Mo smiled bitterly, where are they leisurely, they just destroyed a stronghold in the Water Pavilion last night, and they only came back with a body of blood during the fourth watch.

"How's the battle going these days? How do you still have the kung fu to get here? ”

Xiao Qianjiong shrugged his shoulders and said a little helplessly: "The defenders of Jinling look very stubborn, strictly guarding and not slacking off for a moment. It's been days in vain. ”

Nangong Mo nodded, not surprised. The city of Jinling itself is very strong, and there is a moat outside the city tower, and now the last elite forces of the Great Xia Imperial Court are concentrated here, and it is impossible to pry open the city gate in just a few days, "Take your time, don't rush." ”

Xiao Qianjiong nodded and said, "General Chen also said so, we have all walked to Jinling City, are we still in a hurry?" ”

Nangong Mo smiled: "It's good if you think about it." ”

Xiao Qianjiong shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can figure it out, but I'm afraid the eldest brother and the second brother won't understand." In the past few days, both of them have been working hard in Jinling City. "Don't think that only Xiao Qianwei has the strength, as the eldest son of Yan Wangfu, Xiao Qianchi can naturally get the support of some people. The same is naturally true in those worlds in Jinling. Xiao Qianye saw that it was about to fail, and these people were naturally anxious to choose the next backer, some people were optimistic about Xiao Qianwei's ability, and naturally some people were optimistic about Xiao Qianchi's identity.

Nangong Mo sighed, "I'm afraid they're going to be disappointed." ”

Xiao Qianjiong blinked his eyes and said puzzledly: "What do you say?" ”

Nangong Mo said: "I just received news that Xiao Qianye plans to summon all the heads and children of the major families in Jinling into the palace. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Qianjiong was speechless for a long time. After a long time, he said: "Xiao Qianye is going to ... Is the jade burning? ”

Nangong Mo shrugged, "If you are forced to a dead end, this possibility cannot be ruled out." But now he should just want to prevent these people from taking the opportunity to stab him in the back. ”

"Rare foresight." Xiao Qianjiong praised without sincerity.

Wei Junmo raised his eyebrows, "What are you doing here?" Xiao Qianjiong touched his nose and complained to his cousin and forgot that it was. This can't be blamed on him, he is usually too depressed, and he can't tell his father a lot of things, and naturally he can't talk to his generals and comrades in the army. It's rare to have time to see my cousin and sister-in-law, and I can't help but want to vomit bitter water. Anyway, he knew that no matter what he said, his cousin and sister-in-law would not spread it like others.

In fact, this is obviously because Xiao Sangongzi overestimated the character of these two. The reason why gossip is not spread is because it is useless to spread those gossip, so there is no waste of time and energy. If there is really a need one day, whether it is Nangong Mo or Wei Junmo, they don't mind betraying their naïve little cousin.

Xiao Qianjiong touched his head and said, "My father asked my cousin and sister-in-law to go over to discuss the matter." ”

Wei Junmo frowned slightly, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by Xiao Qianjiong, "Father said that even if the two of you don't participate in the siege of the city, you should go over and listen to it." It doesn't take much time anyway, does it? I don't know if it's his delusion, it seems that after arriving in Jinling this time, my cousin let things in the army go a lot. Even if it is an ordinary matter, unless the father speaks, the cousin will definitely not say anything, and most of the affairs of the Chenzhou Army are entrusted to Nangong Xu. The prisoner's whereabouts were unknown, and Xiao Qianjiong felt that he could understand his cousin again.

For my cousin and sister-in-law, the whereabouts and safety of the untimely death are only much more important than the entire Jinling City, right?

Wei Junmo thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's okay." "If you die in Jinling City, although you know that your life will not be in danger, you still can't help but worry. Looking at Flawless's appearance that has been depressed because of his untimely death these days, Wei Junmo thinks that the Jinling Imperial City is still broken earlier.

Nangong Mo also nodded and smiled while packing up the file in his hand: "Just send someone to say it, where do you need to come and run in person." ”

Xiao Qianjiong smiled and said, "It's all in my father's tent, I'm too lazy to listen to them talk about these messy things." ”

Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows, "What is there to say now?" ”

Xiao Qianjiong was also speechless, "Who knows, it's probably who has more soldiers and horses, who has fewer soldiers and horses, and which door is better to fight." Who's the vanguard, who's the queen or something, right? "Of course, the most powerful copy is still the three brothers, of course, they don't need to go into battle in person to quarrel anything, but the words of their respective subordinates are enough to give Xiao Qianjiong a headache. He never knew that these iron-blooded men in the army could be even more broken than their wives!
