Electricity shone in the sky, the wind carried a hint of coolness, and the candle flame in the original room struggled and swayed in the wind, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.

"Your Highness, do you want to close the windows?" The maidservant who had broken the deadlock in the treasure house walked over quickly, looking worriedly at the sudden sky outside.

Princess Lechang stood up slowly, was about to nod, suddenly remembered something, regardless of the wind and rain, went straight to the window, looked at the darkness outside the window, there was still a light in the direction of the imperial study, although it was faint under the dazzling light of thunder and lightning, but it was still tenaciously shining on the surrounding darkness.

Several maidservants were already rushing in with cloaks and coats, afraid that the rain that would pour in with the wind would wet Lechang's thin clothes.

"Close the window." Le Chang said in a deep voice, "Let's go, let's go to the imperial study!" ”

"Your Highness, at this time?" The faces of several handmaidens changed. The sudden wind and rain outside is estimated to be unstoppable for a while and a half, from Lechang's dormitory to the imperial study, although the road is not far, and there is a wind and rain corridor in the middle, but looking at the thunder and wind and rain posture, whether it is an oil paper umbrella or a wind and rain corridor, it is estimated that it will not work.

Le Chang carefully put away the "Lady Picture" in person, and said solemnly: "That's right, right now, what are you still doing in a daze!" ”

The maidservants did not dare to hesitate, although His Highness has always been gentle and amiable to people, but this is only in the case of not disobeying her, if you blindly oppose what Your Highness insists, it will inevitably attract the anger of Your Highness.

Especially now, no matter how you look at it, His Highness is in a bad mood.

The window closed slowly, and Le Chang just quietly looked at the last gap left by the window, and in the gap was where the light flickered the imperial study was, and muttered:

"Father, how long will such a brother be defeated and defeated? The heavens have changed, and your heart is still as hard as stone? ”

————————————————————————--

The fine and dense rain shrouded the streets, and the two sides of Qinhuai, which were originally brightly lit, gradually quieted down, and fell silent in the sound of the rain.

Most of the streets and alleys have been swallowed up by darkness, and there are only Wuyi Alley, where the powerful and wealthy gather, to the Confucius Temple, and there are still sporadic lights.

The sound of horses' hooves clattered through the wind and rain, and galloped forward in the light of the lanterns of the mansions on both sides of the street, the flickering light barely guiding the way and direction. Horses' hooves trampled on the bluestone streets, splashing with water.

The lanterns were fluttering in the wind, and the door of Xiao Maha's mansion had been opened, and several family members were holding umbrellas and holding lanterns to look anxiously, and saw a carriage rushing out of the darkness and stopping at the door of the house.

"Be careful." Li Xinchen lifted the curtain, jumped out of the carriage in the rain, stretched out his hand to drag Li Li'er down, and a pair of brothers and sisters ran to the eaves not far away in embarrassment.

"Boss, slow down!" Li Ping, Li Xinchen's personal soldier, held an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and quickly followed, Li Xinchen and Li Li'er ran too fast, he didn't have time to react, and at this time he bowed his head slightly with a look of shame, not daring to look at Li Xinchen's soaked clothes.

Just now, Li Xinchen stretched out his sleeves to help Li Li'er block the wind and rain, naturally the sleeves here have borne most of the wind and rain, and it is impossible not to get wet.

Li Li'er hurriedly grabbed Li Xinchen's wrist: "Brother, hurry up and enter the house, your clothes are wet"

"No problem." Li Xinchen seemed to have some concerns, but just responded casually.

"It's okay, go fast!" Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie rushed into the eaves from behind, and the waiting servants hurriedly greeted them, some with dry clothes, some with lanterns, and for a while the gate was in a hurry.

Stomping his feet, Xiao Shilian waved his sleeves: "Hurry up, go back and change your clothes!" Brother Shizhong, Miss Li'er, I'm out of company! ”

Pei Zilie smiled bitterly and shook his head, for him who has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, this little rain is nothing.

"Boom!" A thunderclap exploded in the sky, and lightning illuminated the entire Jiankang Mansion.

Li Xinchen turned his head, looked at the thundering sky, and took a deep breath.

It's been a change!

And the sound of horses' hooves sounded from the darkness in the distance, Xiao Shilian, Pei Zilie and others frowned slightly, and they were all vigilant, at this time, it was definitely not a good thing to gallop in the streets and alleys. And Li Xinchen stretched out his hand to protect Li Li'er behind him, frowning slightly and looking at the darkness.

Under the crushing wind and rain, the rumbling thunder and dazzling electric light, several knights wearing hats and robes rushed to the gate of Xiao Maha's mansion.

Pei Zilie's hand was unconsciously on the hilt of the sword, and the rest of the Xiao family's servants were also vigilantly watching the comers, many of these servants were personal guards who followed Xiao Maha to fight on the battlefield, because they had to retreat from the battlefield after being old or injured, they went to the Xiao family to be a servant, even if the years passed, the killing ability in the bones was still there.

The first knight pulled the reins of the horse, the horse man stood up, and the rain flowed down his hat to the coat and the horse's back, and the knight reached out and pulled the hat without care, and threw the hat directly to a servant of the Xiao family who was waiting at the door, and the servant subconsciously reached out to catch it.

And although it was through the wind and rain, Xiao Shilian also saw clearly who was coming, and couldn't help shouting in surprise: "Daddy, why are you back?" ”

Xiao Maha got off the horse and walked straight into the gate, his face was solemn, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword had been beating slightly nervously and anxiously, at this time he heard Xiao Shilian's words, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone is here, go, go back and say!" ”

Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie glanced at each other in surprise, and the servants of the Xiao family were relieved, daring to love that the master was back, but it was a false alarm.

"How could General Xiao come back at this time?" Pei Zilie raised his eyebrows.

You must know that Xiao Maha has been in the military camp outside the city for the past few days, training recruits, mobilizing baggage, preparing grain and grass, and many other matters are quite heavy, although each item does not need him to do it himself, but he also needs his central dispatch and command, so Xiao Maha simply lived in the military camp, and the home in Jiankang Mansion did not come back for several days.

This is also why in the recent struggle between the East Palace and Yangzhou Thorn History, even characters such as Xu Ling have been involved, but Xiao Maha cannot be seen.

And now Xiao Maha has braved the heavy rain to come back from the barracks, indicating that something big must have happened.

Li Xinchen spread his hands, since Xiao Maha said that he wanted to go in and say, it was useless for them to think nonsense here now, it was better to hurry up and keep up with Xiao Maha's pace.

Turning around and making a gesture at Li Li'er, asking her sister to go back to rest first, Li Xinchen pulled Pei Zilie and Xiao Shilian directly, and the two also came back to their senses at this time and caught up with Xiao Maha.

Whatever happens, there's no doubt that it's going to change!
