Chapter 318: Tiger's Den
It's not that King Li is too ruthless, but he is too scared in his heart, although he also has the blood of the royal family in his body, but the matter of inheriting the throne will always be unjustifiable for him, and now that the emperor's heirs are still alive in the world, he will ascend the throne as the emperor, which will only bring more trouble to himself, so he controls the capital and the imperial court so far he has not dared to do it.
What he never expected was that the counterattack of those royal clansmen would come so quickly, if he hadn't done it earlier, I'm afraid that he would be the one who was killed now.
So the first thing King Li thought about when he learned about their plan was to let them never have a chance to do it.
But even he, the real ruler of the capital now, can't compare to the weight of those royal clansmen combined, his right-hand men, that is, Fang Zhen and Xiong Lishui, are not around, and now the only thing he can rely on is a few lieutenants under his hands, but where are those lieutenants who are the opponents of the royal clan relatives who have been prepared for a long time?
Between the exchanges, King Li gradually fell into a disadvantage.
Because of the power struggle between them, the capital has completely turned into a hell on earth.
This news was transmitted to Lingcheng by Hu Hua, and after Yang Xiao left the capital, he left Hu Hua with his own hands in the blacksmith shop, the purpose of which was to observe the situation in the capital. Fortunately, Hu Hua had a bit of a brain, and after observing for a few days to make sure that the situation in the capital had changed, he immediately passed the news out.
This news made Yang Xiaomei smile, and even his mood was much more relaxed.
At that time, An Xiabai happened to come over to discuss things with her, and when she saw Yang Xiao's happy appearance when she entered the door, she couldn't help but feel a little more confused.
"Ah Xiao, why are you so happy today, why don't you say it and make me happy?"
Yang Xiao raised her head suddenly, and after seeing An Xiabai, the smile on the corner of her eyebrows became deeper and deeper.
"I was going to look for you!"
As she spoke, she stuffed the heart that Hu Hua sent from the capital into An Xiabai's hand.
"This is a letter sent to me by my guy who stayed in the capital, and the letter talks about the recent situation in the capital, so take a look."
"I'll see." After An Xiabai spread out the letter and read it carefully, like Yang Xiao, there was a lot of smile on his face: "I didn't expect King Li to do such a thing, the royal family dared to raid the house and destroy the door, and he was not afraid that the first emperor would jump out of the imperial tomb and hack him to death." ”
"It is estimated that when people's emotions reach a critical point, they can't help but start to go crazy."
Yang Xiao smiled faintly, and looked through the window in the direction of Luoyang City.
An Xiabai has always been careful, of course her actions can't escape her eyes, and her gaze also turned.
"What are you thinking?"
Yang Xiaoban lowered his eyes and said: "I have been away from home for a while, and so far, I have not contacted my family, and I don't know what the situation is at home now, so I want to go back and see." ”
In Lingcheng's days, it can't be said that it is uncomfortable, but Yang Xiao always has a feeling that he is an outsider.
Lu Li and An Xiabai are a family, while Qin Shuang'er, who is alone, has often heard about it, and among a bunch of people, it seems that only one person is the exception, so it is difficult for Yang Xiao to start missing his home.
Although the Yang family in Luoyang is not as big as the mansion in the capital, and the style is not big, it is their own family after all.
An Xiabai saw the desire in her heart, and frowned slightly.
"But now when you go back to Luoyang City, won't it be safe?"
Now that the world has completely changed, and even the capital has begun to become chaotic, An Xiabai is skeptical about whether Yang Xiao can return to the Yang family safely.
Knowing that it would be unsafe, Yang Xiao still insisted on going back.
"From the day I left home, I haven't been in touch with my family for months, so I miss it. Seeing that the war was about to start soon, I really wanted to go back and see it before I really experienced life and death. ”
After all, Yang Xiao is not a subordinate, but a friend, and An Xiabai is always difficult to persuade.
"Since you want to go back, it seems that I don't want to go home if I stop you from going home, so let me send you."
When it was time to eat in the evening, Yang Xiao told everyone present that he was going to go back to Luoyang City and come back in the future, and everyone agreed.
After all, she is a girl, and she is a girl who has not left the boudoir, if something happens in Lingcheng, they are really not good to deal with the Yang family, rather than leaving someone to continue to stay in a dangerous place like Lingcheng, it is better to let her go back, it is safer to be with the family in Luoyang City than here.
After eating a good meal of wine and food in the evening, Yang Xiao went back to his room early to sleep, and early the next morning, someone prepared the carriage.
An Xiabai fulfilled yesterday's promise and personally sent Yang Xiao out of the city.
"Just send it here to get better." Looking at An Xiabai, Yang Xiao began to be embarrassed, "It's not that I won't come back, I don't need to go to the place where I am sent by eighteen miles, after a while, after I have greeted everyone at home, I will return to Lingcheng, and we will still be together at that time!" ”
An Xiabai looked at her hippie smiling face, sighed and nodded.
"Actually, I sent you so far, mainly because I was worried about you."
Now that the world is so chaotic, Yang Xiao returned to Luoyang City by himself, even if he was accompanied by two guards specially selected from the barracks, An Xiabai was still a little worried.
In order to alleviate this emotion, and in order to allow Yang Xiao to go home safely, she specially prepared some things.
"These silver tickets are all saved by me when I used to do business, although they are not much, but they are also a heart." She stuffed a stack of silver tickets into Yang Xiao's hand, pressed her hand and said solemnly, "Over the past few days, Ah Xiao, you have helped us a lot, I really don't know how to repay this kindness, so I can only do more in this regard, I hope you don't dislike it." ”
Yang Xiao held the silver ticket, only feeling that his heart was warm.
"I understand, since this is Xia Bai's intention, then I will accept it unceremoniously."
"I'm afraid you won't accept it."
An Xiabai smiled and took Yang Xiao's hand, and the two of them stood next to the carriage and talked for a while, until the escort of the car came to urge, and they reluctantly separated.
"Have a safe journey!" An Xiabai raised his voice and said.
Yang Xiao in the carriage lifted the curtain and raised his hand at her with a smile.
"Take care of yourself!"
Looking at the way the carriage was moving away, not knowing what was going on, An Xiabai suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
I hope that Yang Xiao can return to his family in Luoyang safely.
Because the matter of sending each other was relatively sensational, the people of Lingcheng soon knew about it, and this matter, including Zhang Huifeng's eyeliner in Lingcheng, also learned about it, and they quickly spread the news to Zhang Huifeng's ears.
This is not a very important matter, Zhang Huifeng just casually mentioned it in front of Fang Zhenmian, but he didn't expect his reaction to be so strong.
Fang Zhen jumped up almost from his position.
Zhang Huifeng was startled by him, and his fat and short hand kept patting on his chest: "General Fang, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I thought of a way to mess up Lu Li's side!"
Although it was flattering on the surface, Zhang Huifeng, who actually disliked Fang Zhen very much, heard this and hurriedly asked.
"How?"
"I can't tell you yet, but I'll say it when the time comes!"
Fang Zhen said that, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Huifeng in a hurry, he hurriedly left the study.
In the huge study, only Zhang Huifeng was left.
I saw that he restrained the original smile on his face, his expression was cold, and he said in a contemptuous tone: "It's just a dog under the hands of King Li, what a thing, after a while, Lao Tzu has a way to make you uncomfortable!" ”
Even if Fang Zhen didn't directly say his plan, Zhang Huifeng was able to deduce his purpose through his subsequent behavior.
It's just that he just wants to take this opportunity to make trouble within Ling Cheng.
The more Zhang Huifeng thought about it, the more angry he became, in order to balance his mood and find his way back, he deliberately sent his own people to embarrass Fang Zhen when he was doing things.
For example, Fang Zhen wanted to find a girl who looked similar to Yang Xiao in Lincheng, and Zhang Huifeng did not let his plan succeed, not only deliberately releasing rumors that Fang Zhen had opened a green building in the capital, but also said that Fang Zhen had the habit of abusing women, which made Fang Zhen completely go out in Lincheng, but as long as she was a girl with a normal brain, there was no way not to take a detour when she saw Fang Zhen.
The worst thing is that Fang Zhen himself didn't know about it.
At first, when he didn't find anyone, he didn't realize that his reputation was wrong, until one day he passed by a house, and a little girl was playing a game of kicking stones in the open space outside the door, and he happened to pass by, but he glanced at the little girl more, and the other party's mother rushed over and hugged the person, and he realized that something was wrong.
"Why are you so afraid of me?"
Looking at the mother and daughter hugging each other and trembling, Fang Zhen couldn't help but think of the closed soup he had eaten in front of other women these days.
If only one or two people have this kind of reaction when they see themselves, it's normal, but almost every woman in the city is scared when they see them, then the situation is very wrong, right?
What went wrong?
Fang Zhen frowned and stepped forward, but before he could get closer, he saw the woman holding the child, screaming and running into the house.
The disciples left him stunned.
Fang Zhen subconsciously touched his cheek, thinking that although he couldn't be considered handsome, he didn't have a grudge to the point of being scary, right?
Just when Fang Zhen was puzzled and was about to investigate in person, his eyes were wrong, and he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
His breathing almost came to a standstill in that moment.
Suspecting that he had seen the wrong person, he turned his gaze and looked closely, finally seeing the man's appearance.
With a slender body and a handsome appearance, who can it be if it is not Lu Li!
Fang Zhen stared at Lu Li's back tightly, and thousands of thoughts flashed in his heart.
Didn't Zhang Huifeng say that the guards in the city were very strict, didn't he say that no one would be able to sneak in at will? Why is Oaks here? Could it be that his power has infiltrated the city?
