If the previous Ruidu was "the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings", then the wind and rain are really coming at this moment.

Two days ago, there was news in the palace that Chen Borui was critically ill.

Since then, the capital has been in a state of imminent war—both day and night, there have been many more troop moves, and residents can often hear hurried footsteps in the middle of the night, not knowing where the men and horses have been transferred.

By yesterday, the situation had deteriorated further.

First, a chaotic army that came out of nowhere rushed directly to the palace, and then it simply evolved into a big melee between several troops who didn't know whether to force the palace or to come to King Qin.

For a time, there was a bloody storm inside and outside the palace, and most people were hiding in fear, for fear that they would not see the sun the next morning.

However, there was more to it than that—scattered rebels began to come to the streets and plunder, and these people did not dare to provoke the wealthy nobles who had a large number of guardians, but the common people suffered, and I heard that more than 20 families were killed overnight.

According to the information received by Xiao Jing, there were officials with a sense of justice who tried to stop the rebellious army's misdeeds, but after a few words, his head flew high into the sky......

Xiao Jing, who was sitting at the mouth of the cave, exhaled deeply and threw the note in his hand into the brazier.

It is said that "I would rather be a peaceful dog than a troubled person", who would dare to believe that the capital, which was still singing and dancing a few days ago, has become a Shura field of "leading beasts to eat people"?

Looking at the people who were working nervously in the temporary newspaper office, a sense of pride arose in Xiao Jing's heart.

This is his team, which can maintain combat effectiveness no matter what the situation!

Although the form of Ruidu was already a mess, the distribution of the Mirror newspaper was never interrupted, and even the three-day newspaper was temporarily changed to a daily newspaper during this period.

Although the harsh conditions caused many difficulties in the sale of newspapers, such as the merchants did not dare to open their doors, and the city gates were closed for most of the past few days, Xiao Jing always had a way to deal with it, and many Ruidu people were able to get their hands on the mirror newspaper every day:

For example, there was a strong wind at night, and then everyone opened the door in the morning to find that the floor was full of newspapers or something!

While some newspapers inevitably had to be used as toilet paper, he didn't care.

If there is anyone in this world who can keep the newspaper printed and distributed in the midst of chaos, it must be the Mirror Newspaper!

After thinking about all these haves and haves, his mood quickly sank to the bottom.

It's not without bad news in the past few days: Shao Ning, this kid, has disappeared inexplicably!

Before the incident, Xiao Jing made a plan for everyone in the newspaper in advance to ensure that everyone could come to the temporary newspaper office as soon as possible, and Shao Ning was naturally no exception.

It stands to reason that Shao Ning, who has lived in Puhua Town for a long time, should not be in a situation - he is not involved in the problem of going out of the city, and he can get to the place by wandering around for a while, how can such a person disappear inexplicably?

However, when everyone else arrived, everyone realized that he was the only one missing.

Did he have a problem on the road...... That shouldn't be, if there is a storm in the capital, then Puhua Town, which is some distance away from the capital, has a little rain at most, and even a few people with bad intentions who want to take the opportunity to do things have also been cleaned up by local patrols and group exercises, and the public security is not much different from usual.

At first, Xiao Jing thought that this kid was playing deep or where he was arrogant and lascivious, and laughed and scolded that when he came, he must teach him a good lesson.

However, he did not show up for several days; Xiao Jing sent a large number of people to search, and the people of the Xia family did not bring back any valuable information.

That's pretty weird.

Xiao Jing could see that although everyone's faces were relaxed, everyone was worried about Shao Ning.

It's not once or twice that kid made a fuss at a critical moment, and it must be the same this time - Xiao Jing can only comfort himself like this.

"Go and investigate carefully, and you must give me a message no matter what!"

After sending off another group of Xia family members, Xiao Jing, who was worried, returned to his seat.

This bastard, when he appears again one day, Lao Tzu must make him look good!

At the same time, the capital.

As mentioned earlier, there are quite a few quiet places in Kyoto, but most of them are concentrated near the residences of the powerful.

Among them, there is a very special place. It did not sit next to many mansions of almost grandeur, as other nobles did, but occupied a large tract of land on its own; Still, it is like the eye of a hurricane, surrounded by chaos but as steady as Mount Tai.

In the palace, His Royal Highness King Zhao was grooming.

Reflected in the bronze mirror is a clear and handsome face. Any innocent girl who sees this scene will probably be captivated by the person in the mirror - if they don't know what kind of cruel soul lies behind this figure.

"Ahh

When the comb reached a knotted place in his hair, King Zhao couldn't help but let out a low cry of pain.

The maid who was combing his hair behind him was suddenly frightened and fell to her knees.

However, before she could say the sentence "The prince spares his life, and the slave and maid are guilty", the whole person was kicked out of the house by the angry King Zhao.

"Someone!"

King Zhao, who looked uneasy, cleaned up his hair by himself, and called out two maids who didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere and ordered: "Put on armor for this king." ”

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the prince turned his back to him, the two and a half old girls glanced out timidly, and responded busily.

There are countless processes in armor, and it has always been a meticulous job.

Although they don't know why their prince did this, they still cooperate closely and want to complete their work perfectly.

Otherwise, the sister outside the house who was kicked and broke her sternum and saw that she had less air in and more air was their role model!

Whenever a certain part of the armor was draped on his body, King Zhao was in a burst of excitement.

He remembered ten years ago, when his father, the Emperor, had given him this armor.

At that time, all King Zhao heard was praise:

The father proudly said that this son was similar to him when he was young, and several important ministers who usually kept a straight face and did not smile were also saying things like "dragon and phoenix among people", and even the Empress Dowager Gao, who had always lived in the deep palace and did not ask about the world, came to the scene in person, touched his face with trembling hands and said "good grandson"......

Thinking about it, his smile gradually disappeared, and the corners of his mouth also pouted into a sneer.

Ten years, just ten years, and all of that has changed!

Although he still lived the best life in the world, and although he was still feared by countless people, he clearly felt that many people and things were gradually alienating from him—including his father.

That's it!

Since you don't want to give, then I'll take back what belongs to me personally!
