When the army was about to set out, the imperial capital was surging, and all the magnates were tightening their hearts and hoping that the war would subside as soon as possible. At the same time, they also began to prepare various armaments and strengthen the defense of their own territories in case the border passes were lost.

Their eyes were on Wang Mang, paying attention to Wang Mang's every move. At the same time, they also sent many cronies, and even came to General Wuhou's mansion in person, wanting to probe Wang Mang's tone and hear what Wang Mang's specific thoughts on the war.

Wang Mang didn't see any of these visitors. Now he only locks himself in the backyard of the General's Mansion, accompanying Wang Jingyan day and night, getting close to her, and spending this good time of parting together.

This time, thousands of miles apart, they didn't know how many days and months it would take to meet again, so they were very reluctant and didn't dare to waste a trace of time. In Qingqing, I and I, lingering. Affection, love, inseparable, but ask anything about the outside world.

On the third day, that is, the third day after Wang Mang met Han Fei'er. Feng Yi finally prepared everything and made a decision.

Early in the morning, he ordered the palace forbidden army to completely seize the Xinlong Inn in Handan County, confiscate the assets, and arrest all the staff of the Xinlong Inn in Handan County.

Of course, if he seizes the inn, he will naturally have a legitimate name. This name is that he suspected that the Xinlong Inn had collusion with the Xiongnu, so he launched an attack on the Xinlong Inn under the banner of grandeur.

Fortunately, Wang Mang had expected this for a long time.

Therefore, although Feng Yi's action this time was huge, the actual loss to Xinlong Inn was not large. The evacuation of key personnel was largely completed, and valuable materials were transferred to secret security bases for storage.

In this small-scale struggle, because one side attacked with all its might, the other side tried to avoid it, and retreated. Therefore, this major event led by Feng Yi almost encountered any obstacles, and completely destroyed all the Xinlong Inn storefronts in Handan County, and none of them existed.

After destroying the inn, when he learned the details of the battle report and found that he had not gained much, his face was gloomy as water, and he knew that he was a step late, and the other party detected his intentions and evacuated first.

In this regard, he was very unwilling. continued to expand the scope and ordered the forbidden army to continue to seize the Xinlong Inn in the surrounding city of Handan County.

This seizure lasted for more than ten days. In the entire Qingzhou, there are also five states and counties of Xinlong Inn that were affected and seized by him.

It seems that he is really on fire, and he is about to destroy all the storefronts of the Xinlong Inn, forcing the people behind the inn to stand up and confront him.

He suspected that the Xinlong Inn had an inseparable connection with Wang Mang, so on the first day of his seizure, he sent many spies to keep an eye on General Wuhou's mansion to see Wang Mang's movements.

However, Wang Mang ignored this matter at all and let Feng Yi mess around. He just loved his beloved wife Wang Jingyan in the depths of the mansion. He did not express any opinion on the matter, nor did he raise any opinions, let alone see anyone, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

His approach made Feng Yi feel like he was smashing his fist on the cotton, and he couldn't exert his strength, and he couldn't see Wang Mang's annoyed and angry appearance.

Feng Yi launched such a major incident at this turbulent juncture in the border war, which even affected the people's hearts. It made the people panic, restless, suspicious, and aggravated.

Because in the eyes of many people, princes, talented people and others, Xinlong Inn is completely an inn that is just doing business, and there is nothing illegal.

But now, Feng Yi used a collaborator to rebel. The state sent people to seal down the inn, which made them feel a little dissatisfied. They even wondered if Yuelai Inn was jealous of Xinlong Inn's business, so they excluded dissidents and united with Feng Yi to make a black hand.

Of course, at the beginning, although they were dissatisfied, they did not say anything. There is also a trace of doubt in the bottom of my heart, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

After all, the name of the seizure given by Feng Yi is loud enough and shocking enough.

But as time went on, after Feng Yi got nothing, everyone broke out this resentment, complaining that Feng Yi was bullying others, accusing Yuelai Inn of creating something out of nothing, which had completely affected his daily life.

So these people with some status began to organize and write to the court to sue the emperor.

In this matter, Yuelai Inn was extremely aggrieved, completely inexplicable, and was affected by the pond fish. Of course, although they are aggrieved, their top brass does not express any views and opinions on this matter. When nothing has happened, he is very calm and mysterious enough.

The princes and ministers of the court also kept a wait-and-see state at first, not knowing what kind of nerve Feng Yi was making, and he would mobilize the public to deal with a newly opened private inn that had not been open for many years.

They speculated whether it was the shopkeeper behind the Xinlong Inn who offended Feng Yi, or whether it was the forces behind the Xinlong Inn that offended Feng Yi, so they were so hostile to Feng Yi.

But now, as more and more people sued the emperor, and Feng Yi did not find very convincing evidence that Xinlong Inn collaborated with the Xiongnu, these ministers were forced to accuse Feng Yi under the pressure of the situation.

Especially the Huo family, the Wei family and several other leading families, they already hated Feng Yi. Now that I have seized this good opportunity, I naturally want to fall into the ground.

And this matter is indeed reckless by Feng Yi, because now is the critical moment for the Xiongnu army to go south, and the first task of the dynasty is to stabilize the people's hearts, stabilize the situation, and establish a positive image. And Feng Yi's action is no less than working against the dynasty, stirring up the situation, disturbing the people's hearts, and smearing the dynasty.

Under the condemnation of the ministers, Feng Yi finally stopped his actions at noon on the 11th, withdrew the military order, and no longer sealed the Xinlong Inn.

Feng Yi was messing around in Kyoto, but the two young masters Ji Yun and Ji Xuan did not participate.

Of course, it wasn't that they didn't want to help Feng Yi, but that they didn't have time.

If the two masters of them were involved, then the loss of the Xinlong Inn would have to increase by a few points.

Because the ability of these two people is indeed boundless. Once they focus on one thing, then they will definitely gain more or less, which will cause the important personnel of the Xinlong Inn to be lost.

It's a pity that because of the urgency of the war in recent days and the fact that the country has reached a critical juncture of life and death, the two of them suddenly had frequent inspirations, and they felt good, and their cultivation reached a breakthrough point.

Therefore, they have been in retreat and penance for a long time, comprehending the mysteries of the nine swords in the world, understanding their experiences, and breaking through the realm of martial arts. At the same time, they were also waiting for the reply from the elders of the Ji family, waiting for the instructions of the clan elders.

At such an important juncture, they don't dare to mess around, at least they don't dare to attack and kill Wang Mang, the commander of the three armies, without the orders of the clan elders.

Now they all know the importance of Wang Mang, and they know that this invasion of the Central Plains by the Xiongnu army is not an ordinary invasion, but intends to completely destroy Kyushu.

In the face of such an important trend, they were also a little worried that if they killed Wang Mang, which would lead to the defeat of the front line, the defeat of the defenders, the killing of the people, and the slaughter of the soldiers, then the reputation of their Ji family would be ruined.
