After the fifth watch, the night is about to dawn, there is a dark cloud between heaven and earth, and the chickens and dogs bark outside the house. The lights are lit one after another, although it is a faint light, but gradually it has increased, like a firefly flying into a piece, as if there is a hole in the artistic conception of the sky.

The little maids and aunts in the eldest princess's mansion got up one after another and began to sweep to prepare for their busy day.

The Mingcui Hall in the front yard has been lit up all night. This is the place where the eldest princess Gong Chang Mingyue meets on weekdays, and the visiting eunuchs and merchants, famous ministers and gentlemen are mostly received here. Sitting high on the throne tonight is Xie Rong (Xie Shuzhi), the right servant of Daxing Chaoshangshu, a little old man with pale temples and gray hair, dressed in plain and elegant clothes. Although Gong Chang Mingyue is the master, he is a junior, so he sits with him on the side.

They had been talking for a while, and the maid had changed her tea.

Xie Rong's hand holding the tea couldn't stop trembling, and the dish and bowl collided, making a gurgling sound. He is not suffering from Parkinson's disease, but he is afraid in his heart, and naturally he is not afraid of the little woman in front of him - although Gong Chang Mingyue is the eldest princess and the emperor's own sister, she has always been respectful to him. - Old Minister Xie is afraid of things, in his opinion, Gong Chang Mingyue is in trouble.

Xie Rong took the liberty to visit at night, and he came to report the news. The fine work he placed in Huan Mansion hurriedly sent news: Huan Mansion was gathering people and horses, and wanted to kill the eldest princess's mansion to avenge the violent death of Huan Su. Yes, the Huan family settled the account on Gong Chang Mingyue's head, because Huan Su's Yingyang Army's personal soldiers testified, and they swore that it was Gong Chang Mingyue who committed the murder on Huarong Road.

"Old man, don't panic. Gong Chang Mingyue took a sip of tea, with a smile on his face, "Please taste tea, this is the best rock tea from the Fujian Kingdom." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness. How can the old man not be afraid, how can he not be in a hurry?" Xie Rong put the tea bowl on the side of a few cases, his hand was still trembling, "The Huan family is going to fight hard with His Royal Highness, they are not only entangled with their own government soldiers, Huan Su's brother Huan Chong has privately transferred the Tiger Ben Army Divine Arrow Battalion stationed outside the city, he is a Zhongyun general, how can he summon hundreds of soldiers, how can the white-robed guards on the princess's mansion resist it? I'm afraid that the blood will flow like a river!"

"What the old man said is very true. Gong Chang Mingyue answered, but he didn't seem to take it seriously, and lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Looking at her indifferent expression, Xie Rong was really anxious: "Your Highness! The Huan family is powerful, and they often don't take the emperor in their eyes, not to mention....! His Royal Highness immediately led the white-robed guards to rush out of the princess's mansion, and the Eagle Yang Army, who was ordered to guard the gate of the mansion, must not be able to stop it. The old man is willing to open the way for His Highness!"

"The old man is kind, Mingyue understands. But where can I go?"

Xie Rong swallowed his saliva and said, "Originally, the one who could protect His Highness the most should be the palace Ouchi. After all, now there are internal and external troubles and crises on all sides, if you can't keep Your Highness, won't you become a turtle in an urn if you enter the palace? Isn't the Cangzhou town guard and the Xuanjia army commanding Dugu Wu to be close friends with His Royal Highness? When His Highness arrived there, he joined forces with General Dugu to suppress the ochre eyebrows and demon chaos, and he made miraculous achievements, and returned to the dynasty after victory, and the Huan family was helpless!"

"This is a defection, and it has killed General Dugu. Now that the demon is in turmoil, how can I make extraneous branches?" Gong Chang Mingyue calmly rejected Xie Laoyu's own clever suggestion.

When I came to the mansion, I heard that Huan Ling'er, the daughter-in-law of the Huan family, had asked the Zhongshu to order Wang Xuan to enter ......the palace to ask for an order to kill His Highness! What a ruthless villain Wang Xuan was! The Wang family and the Huan family had been in cahoots for a long time, and they were really a raccoon dog, and besides, the old man had always been disrespectful and dissatisfied with His Royal Highness. ”

"The old man can rest assured. No matter how foolish and cowardly the emperor is, he will never be punished without trial and killed without guilt; the Huan family is vengeful, and they are just restless for a while, and because of the pain of bereavement, they will never dare to take the act of cutting first and then attacking the princess's mansion; Wang Xuan's old minister is only a little prejudiced against Mingyue -- and he blames Mingyue's daily life for being too absurd to instigate the emperor to kill his own sister. ...... Just waiting for the dawn of the morning, Mingyue asked the emperor for a decree, and the case of Hua Rongdao was ascertained and sentenced by Dali Temple. Huan Su's death, the real murderer is for Chi You, there are many witnesses, how can the villain be framed!"

Gong Chang Mingyue's words were very frank, however, she was forcibly calming, and she couldn't help but feel worried in her heart, after all, this matter involved hundreds of lives in the entire princess's mansion. She knows better than anyone else the situation of the Daxing Dynasty, when a family like the Huan family and a big family will put Wang Fa in their eyes, and what kind of thoughts her good brother - Emperor Tiande - has, she doesn't know, in the past five years of changing the dynasty, this man has become more and more strange and unpredictable. The reason why she said the danger in front of her so lightly was obviously to comfort Xie Rong, who was sitting on pins and needles.

Xie Rong sighed, and his worries deepened: "My princess!

Gong Chang Mingyue smiled indifferently: "Fortune and misfortune are fate, life and death are up to heaven!"

Gong Chang Mingyue secretly made up his mind to take on one person. ——

"Old man, please go home. It's old, it's good to rest, the weather is getting colder, cherish it a lot!"

Gong Chang Mingyue stood up and stepped forward to support Old Man Xie.

"Big things are not good!"

The bow chief inadvertently pushed the door and broke into the Mingcui Hall. followed by Ji Qingting, who was in a hurry.

Xie Rong, as a senior gangster in the officialdom, is really quite accurate in judging people. was unspeakable: Huan Chong, the second son of the Huan family and Huan Su's younger brother, did not let the rhetoric of revenge stay at the moment when he gathered people, he personally led his own housekeepers, servants, government soldiers and improvised hired underworld in the capital, unemployed hooligans, a total of three or four hundred people, carrying all kinds of blades, mighty, vigorous, tiger-like, open-fire stubbornly killed to the eldest princess's mansion - along the way, he cut people when he saw them, and several husbands and Ye Xianglang died on the streets, fortunately, the sky was not clear, and the traces were rare.

Of course, the hatred had not completely overwhelmed Huan Chong's sanity, and he did not immediately launch a general attack. He suppressed his excited little heart and issued the first general order: "Surround the princess's mansion for me!"

Ideal plump, realistic skinny. How can the huge princess mansion be surrounded by hundreds of people, all they can barely do is to block the main gate of the princess mansion with "heavy soldiers", and then assign several groups of idle people to keep an eye on the east gate, south gate, and west gate to prevent Gong Chang Mingyue and others from absconding in disguise.

As a result, the confrontation between the two forces in front of the north gate of the princess's mansion was roughly formed: on one side was the rabble army of the Huan clan, and on the other hand, there was the extra-large "security department" of the princess's mansion temporarily organized by Luo Yingzi - dozens of princesses' personal soldiers in white robes, more than a dozen Yingyang sergeants who were ordered to supervise the princess's mansion, and one or two hundred "militiamen" (the little maids and aunts holding brooms, hammers, firewood knives, and kitchen knives, and the male pets of the bow chief Mingyue, who were holding brushes and scrolls, and were responsible for scolding the street and spitting).

As a result, the actual combat has not started, and the scolding war has gone first. The live version of the Daxing Dynasty Troll Conference officially kicked off. All of a sudden, scolding and saliva splashed. The main debaters on both sides are: Huan Chong, the representative of the Huan family, Wang Erma, Zhang Sanpao, Liu Shanghui, Guo Detong and others, the representative of the princess's mansion, Luo Yingzi, several aunts, and several noodles. The outline of the scolding war was originally as follows: the chaotic emotional life of Gong Changmingyue, the eldest princess of Lingyue in the Daxing Dynasty, and the daily life of the Huan clan, one of the three major clans of the Daxing Dynasty, bullying men and women and annexing land. scolding, scolding, but scolding into a nonsensical competition.

So, the gate of the princess's mansion was bright, the torches were bright, it was overcrowded, the swords and swords were shining, and the voices were boiling. Since the completion of this mansion, it has never been so lively for more than 20 years, and even Emperor Tiande, who was still the king of Jin, got married here, and there was no such a huge scene.

..... .....

The reason why Huan Chong stood still was because he still needed to wait, waiting for a group of people and a thing. -- A group of people: the archers from the Tiger Ben army outside the city, with their magic arrows to hit the forward, Huan Chong is quite sure that he will kill the princess's mansion; one thing: holy decree! Zhongshu ordered Wang Xuan to take Huan Ling'er and carry Huan Su's corpse into the palace to face the saint, please (force) the emperor to issue an order to destroy the eldest princess's mansion, the crime: the demon (Mrs. She of the Ochre Mei Army) conspired against the enemy, and collaborated with the enemy (Xia Guo Han Ren) to commit treason—Obviously, this is a baseless and unfounded conviction without evidence. Since ancient times, the matter of killing people in the imperial court is not whether they can be killed, but whether they want to kill or not. If you want to add sin, why should you do it?

Waiting, waiting, being scolded, being scolded, Huan Chong became more and more anxious, coupled with the instigation of the government soldiers and local ruffians around him, and he worked hard: "It's not appropriate to see blood when it's dawn, it's good to kill people when the moon is dark and the wind is high", he finally couldn't help it, and decided to end the "Scolding Legend" activity ahead of schedule.

Huan Chong drew his sword out of its sheath.

"Kill"!

An order was given, and the sound of killing shook the sky. Hundreds of people picked up the guys and swarmed up, rushing towards the guardians of the gate of the princess's mansion.

Luo Yingzi jumped forward and swung his sword, and the white-robed soldiers and Yingyang soldiers took the lead bravely, picking up the untrained Huan family soldiers and ruffians and hooligans, just like chopping melons and vegetables, one to deal with five, six, seven, or eight. However, no matter how high the master is, he can't withstand the enemy's crowd tactics, not to mention that they have to protect those little aunts who faint at the sight of blood and the heads of the helpless chickens.

In an instant, blood flowed all over the ground, and corpses lay on their backs. Everyone in the princess's mansion fought and retreated, but it was too late to close the mansion, and the gate was lost.

At this moment, the eldest princess Gong Chang Mingyue floated in front of everyone, like a Xuannu descending from the sky, holding a water jade sword, repelling the invading enemies one by one. Attacking with the hilt of the sword, although it did not kill anyone, it also hit the vital point. The fierce momentum, Huan Chong bore the brunt, three times five divided by two, falling flowers and flowing water.

Ji Qingting came to help with a pair of sledgehammers. Morale was boosted. After a while, Huan's rabble army was expelled from the mansion. Luo Yingzi became more and more intense the more she fought, and was about to lead the crowd to take advantage of the situation to fight back, but Gong Chang Mingyue shouted to stop.

"Stop"!

The princess is mighty, and no one moves.
