Just four days after Ma Teng and the others led the army to leave, news finally came back, but this news was ...... But Liu Xie was extremely shocked.

"What?! Li Su is dead?! Liu Xie stared at Yang Zhan, completely unable to believe this fact. How can it be?! That Ma Teng and Li Su brought nearly 30,000 people! And Li Su, a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, will he still go into battle to kill the enemy in person?! Liu Xie asked loudly, if it wasn't for Yang Zan who reported this matter, I'm afraid he would have pushed it out and cut it directly.

"Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely true, it is the news sent by Captain Huang!" Yang Zan said respectfully, "Ma Junhou and others led the army all the way to Yixian, but the news leaked, and as a result, they encountered an ambush on the road, although Ma Junhou repelled it, but Li Junhou was shot by a stray arrow and died on the spot......

"Killed by a stray arrow?" Liu Xie looked at Yang Zan strangely, he really couldn't believe that there would be such a coincidental thing in the world, but it was Huang Wan who reported this matter, but he was a person who could be trusted. As for whether it was Ma Teng's ghost, Liu Xie believed that Huang Wan had the ability to distinguish it, and Yang Zan could also tell whether the person who sent the letter was sent by Huang Wan.

After calming down a little, Liu Xie opened his mouth again and asked, "Then Yixian has been captured?" ”

"According to Captain Huang's words, although he was ambushed, he had indeed captured Yixian. Although Dong Thief built a strong dock fort in Yixian, he did not have too many soldiers to defend it. According to the interrogation, the ambush soldiers who ambushed Ma Junhou and the others before were already most of their troops......" Yang Zan kept saying.

Hearing this, Liu Xie groaned, and suddenly asked, "Has the news leaked?" ”

"No, after the messenger arrived in Beijing, he came directly to report, but Ma Junhou ...... there," Yang Zan replied respectfully.

"That's right...... That's not going to be easy......" Liu Xie touched his smooth chin and groaned, and his every move did not look like an eleven-year-old boy at all. If the news doesn't leak, then Liu Xie has an idea, but since Ma Teng's side is also ......

Liu Xie was thinking about it, when suddenly a guard hurried in, "Your Majesty! Big things are wrong! Li Su's son Li Dan rebelled! ”

"What?!" Yang Zan was shocked when he heard this.

And Liu Xie, who was on the side, immediately reacted, "Quick! Protect me from here! In addition, send someone to ask for help outside the Imperial City! After saying that, he went straight to the outside of the palace. He didn't know where the rebels had gone now, and he didn't know why Li Dan had rebelled, and the only thing he was thinking about now was how to escape from Li Dan's hands.

Seeing this, Yang Zan and the soldier hurriedly followed, and after a short time, Liu Xie left the palace where he was originally under the protection of dozens of guards, and fled all the way to a flower garden somewhere in the imperial city.

Well, at this time, Liu Xie finally had some of the appearance that an eleven-year-old child should have, and he became a little panicked in the face of the crisis.

Hiding in the flower garden, Liu Xie listened to the movement outside, and at the same time his mind was spinning, thinking about all that had happened. Although the fact that Li Su died in battle with the absolute superiority of officers and soldiers does seem to be unbelievable, and it does not sound too difficult to accept that Li Dan, who is young and impulsive at the same time, will rebel. It's just that Liu Xie always feels that things are not so simple.

"Yang Qing, do you think this Li Dan's rebellion has anything to do with that Ma Teng?" After thinking for a long time, Liu Xie asked Yang Zan beside him softly.

"This ......" Hearing this, Yang Zan was dumbfounded for a while, because the only thought in his mind at this time was how to protect the safety of the little emperor beside him.

Seeing Yang Zhan's appearance, Liu Xie was quite helpless in his heart, and at the same time faintly disappointed. Although Yang Zan was a learned Confucian scholar, in some ways, he was completely unable to bring much help to Liu Xie.

I don't know how long it took, there was a sudden shouting of killing in the distance, and after a while, a guard who went out to inquire about the situation rushed back and reported, "Your Majesty, the rebels are fighting with people, I think it is Ma Junhou's side that has discovered Li Dan's rebellion." ”

"Got it......" Liu Xie replied calmly when he heard this, but his expression did not show the slightest hint of happiness. Because he knew that Li Dan's rebels were not the opponents of the troops left by Ma Teng at all, whether it was the strength of the troops or the generals. And once Li Dan is defeated, Ma Teng will definitely take the opportunity to take the military power in the imperial city.

"Hehe, I was still thinking about whether this matter would have anything to do with Na Ma Teng, but now it seems that it doesn't matter if it's related or not." Liu Xie thought a little self-deprecatingly.

At the same time, in the mansion of Marten.

"Wenhe, you did a very good job in this matter, I thought that Li Dan would not choose to rebel so easily~" Zhang Ning looked at Jia Xu and smiled, seemingly very satisfied with Jia Xu.

"Everything is as Madame expected, and Xu is just acting according to Madame's plan." Jia Xu replied respectfully.

Yes, Jia Xu, who was supposed to be in the mansion of Zhi Jinwu, quietly appeared here after instigating Li Dan to rebel. And the reason why this is so is just Zhang Ning's strategy.

"Hehe, I have long heard that Wen He is very modest...... Zhang Ning smiled when he heard this, "But excessive modesty is hypocrisy, if there is no persuasion from Wen He, then how can Li Dan easily believe and raise troops to rebel?" ”

Zhang Ning didn't mean to praise this, because although Li Dan learned the news of Li Su's death through special channels, if there was no Jia Xu, would Li Dan believe it immediately, and at the same time choose to fight to the death in order to protect himself? At least in Zhang Ning's opinion, no one under his command can do this except Jia Xu.

Hearing this, Jia Xu smiled awkwardly, but didn't know how to respond. Since he was a child, he has advocated low-key life and work, and he doesn't like to be in the limelight at any time, unless he is absolutely sure, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble. It is precisely because of this that although he was recruited by Taiwei because of his talent, his reputation is still not obvious.

It wasn't until he was discovered by Li Ru later that he helped Dong Zhuo with advice as his assistant. On the one hand, it was because of Li Ru's persecution, and on the other hand, he found that if he did this, he didn't have to worry about anything. Because Li Ru himself is highly intelligent, he is not inferior to his existence, and Dong Zhuo's trust in him also makes him not have any jealousy towards Jia Xu at all. Even many times, Li Ru is more like a teacher and friend to him.

In the face of Zhang Ning, it was completely different, the feeling she gave Jia Xu sometimes even reminded Jia Xu of Dong Zhuo, because from Zhang Ning's body, he felt the domineering and rampant that only Dong Zhuo felt. It's just that compared with Dong Zhuo, Zhang Ning hides it even more, and he is more wise and calm. And this kind of person is undoubtedly more terrifying than Dong Zhuo.
