Xiao Jing's life always seems to be "on the road".

After more than half a month of traveling, he finally advanced to Ruidu in the evening when the city gate was closed.

Seeing that he was about to arrive at Xia Mansion, he was looking forward to reuniting with his wife and children, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

There are very few pedestrians on the street. At this moment, there was still some time before the curfew, and he passed through many usually bustling sections along the way, but he saw a lot fewer people than before.

In addition, there was an inexplicable atmosphere in the entire city, which made Xiao Jing feel inexplicably uneasy.

For security reasons, he immediately sent his men to investigate the situation.

Who knows, God also intends to help Xiao Jing: that person has only left less than a cup of tea, and the most obvious abnormality happened in front of everyone's eyes:

There is a fire in the direction of the Imperial City!

"Quick, go home first!"

Seeing that it was already a stone's throw away from the Xia Mansion, Xiao Jing rushed to the front first. If anything happens in the capital, he is of course most at ease with his beloved wife and children.

When he reached the side door, he dismounted and called the door for a long time, and the guards inside, who were already facing the enemy, welcomed him in.

"Husband!"

As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Xiao Jing heard a cry full of joy, and Xia Hanxue's shadow also came into his eyes.

Today, she is very different from usual: the little wife who has always been gentle like water is wearing soft armor and holding a long sword this time, which makes people praise in their hearts when they see it: What a heroic and sassy middle woman!

The ancestor of the Xia family was born as a martial artist, and it seems that this pride is still flowing in the blood of the Xia family!

"I'm sorry, Cher, I'm late for my husband." Xiao Jing stepped forward quickly and said with concern: "What happened in Jingli?" ”

No matter how much he misses his family, this will not be the time to say goodbye.

"It's okay if you're okay. The concubine had previously sent someone to warn you and tell you not to enter the city first, but it was a mistake when you thought about it. Xia Hanxue sighed and said calmly: "The concubine also received a secret letter at noon, saying that someone was going to make trouble in the capital......

She glanced in the direction of Miyagi, where billowing smoke and dust had risen visible to the naked eye: "The incident has happened at this moment, but I don't know what happened to the palace over there." ”

Xiao Jing looked at it privately, and Xia Hanxue, who knew about it, immediately said: "Daddy has received the will to proclaim appeasement in other provinces, and it will take seven or eight days to come back." ”

Uncle Yue is not here, no wonder Xue'er wants to come out to preside over the overall situation.

However, Xiao Jing is not worried about this at all.

Although Xia Honghan is not there, the old fox of Old Lady Xia is still nesting in the suburbs of Beijing.

As long as he's here, no one can turn the sky upside down.

Besides, after becoming the uncle of the Xia family, Xiao Jing received the "training" from the family, and now he knows the secret passages in the mansion in all directions. In case something goes wrong, it's not difficult to escape unscathed with a large family.

Xiao Jing nodded and said, "Do you know who is causing the trouble?" ”

Xia Hanxue shook her head and said, "The concubine is stupid and doesn't know anything about it...... After reading some news, several gentlemen in the palace didn't have a clue, but they just said that this matter did not seem to be done by someone in the royal family, otherwise it would be too hasty to act like this. ”

Xiao Jing said gently: "Madame, don't blame yourself. In the absence of Lord Yue, it is extremely rare for you to manage the affairs of the mansion up and down every day, where do you still have the leisure to take care of all the complicated information? You are a rare virtuous helper in the world, and you are not a master of the world who guarantees everything, how can I blame you for this? ”

Xia Hanxue smiled sweetly, then put away her smile and said, "Husband, the concubine has been investigated earlier, and there is no change in the soldiers and horses of the capital and the surrounding battalions. It's weird everywhere, so you need to be careful. ”

Xiao Jing thought for a while and said, "In this case, let's respond to all changes with the same." What the hell is going on in the palace, there should be news later, we just have to wait patiently. ”

As he was talking, someone suddenly came over to report: "Miss, uncle." A father-in-law came from outside, saying that he wanted to see the person in charge of the family. ”

Xiao Jing and Xia Hanxue glanced at each other. Speak of the devil...... Hey, what a time!

Soon, Xiao Jing saw someone coming.

Speaking of which they are still acquaintances - when there was a reward in previous years, this person came a few times because he was in charge of delivering the decree, and Xiao Jing still remembered that his surname was Huang.

"What is Gonggong Huang doing here?" Xiao Jing bowed his hand politely, and said with a worried face: "I see that something seems to have happened in the direction of the palace, and I don't know what ...... end."

Gonggong Huang couldn't wait to interrupt his words, stomped his feet vigorously and said, "Lord Xiao, your eyebrows are burning right now, do you still have the leisure to be here leisurely?" Is it up to you to call the shots in the palace now, hurry up and gather people to escort our family into the palace, the nobles in the palace are already in danger......"

Yo, the "adults" are all out?

Xiao Jing is just a sesame mung bean big loose official, this Huang Gong was only in the way of the Xia family's face, but now this "adult" is called extremely natural, and he doesn't even have the slightest twist.

It can be seen that he is really in a hurry.

Xiao Jing's eyes flashed, and he said with concern: "Father-in-law Huang, don't worry, if you don't explain things clearly, I don't even know the details, how can I act rashly?" ”

Huang Gonggong's anxious face gradually showed impatience. He rushed forward and grabbed Xiao Jing's sleeve, and said hurriedly: "There are people in the palace who are in turmoil, and many palace people and guards are involved in it, and the momentum is not small...... Now you understand, what else do you want our family to say? Give you a cup of tea, gather people to hurry up with our family, this is Your Majesty's command, do you dare to resist the decree! ”

Xiao Jing quietly brushed away his hand and said lightly: "Don't blame Gonggong Huang. The Xia family has some manpower, but there are only nearly 100 nursing homes when they are full, and even if they pass, it will be a drop in the bucket. There are not dozens of families but more than a dozen families in the wealthy families in Beijing who have raised hundreds of people, since there is a will for you to go out for help, then why don't you go to them?

Hey, the current situation outside is so chaotic, how dare I take people to the imperial city at will? If the father-in-law only brought an oracle, please forgive Xiao for not being able to obey his orders. Now that my father-in-law is gone, this family is all up to me...... If you don't have a holy decree, you can't listen to the wind or the rain, so I'm sorry. ”

Huang Gonggong was so angry that his eyes were on fire when he heard this, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans appeared on his forehead: "How can this be true!" Okay, you Xiao Jing, you don't even care about His Majesty's will, let's see you...... Look at you and you're going to rebel! For Xia Shilang's sake, say a few more words, Your Majesty has been forced into a desperate situation, where can I give you a decree in a hurry! Our family also ran out with great effort, don't take kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs......"

He was foaming at the mouth and saying, and Xiao Jing on the side just watched coldly.

I have to say that this guy's expression seems to be a little ...... Panic?
