Zaiyuan, who couldn't put on his wings when he left Texas, also rushed to the capital non-stop. Along the way, he walked harder than Putiyating, because he was not at all like when he went south, passing through the county and making a big show, but he had always run in a low-key manner, except for the gap between eating and convenient and convenient internal urgency, he almost never got off the horse at all, let alone had a decent sleep.

Finally ran to the place, far away, Zaiyuan found that the city tower of Yongding Gate in front of him was full of swords and guns, and the neat and mighty forbidden soldiers were bright and bright. Below, two huge vermilion lacquer gates were closed, and along the narrow gates, a line of pedestrians lined up at the city gates, apparently being interrogated by the guards inside. What's going on? How could it be so heavily guarded as if facing a great enemy? Jae-won's heart beat wildly.

As soon as dozens of people approached the city gate, Zaiyuan's heart beat even harder. Because, I don't know why, after shouting at the head of the city and asking if there was a way, the guards who called the door probably didn't understand what the above question meant, the two closed city gates suddenly "rattled" open, and a bunch of forbidden troops poured out of the hula inside, and in the blink of an eye, they were surrounded by water, and his accompanying guards shouted out their throats, and no one paid attention to his shout of "This is Prince Yi's driver", and he had to surrender the weapons in the hands of the guards. A few guards, who were accustomed to taking big and anxious temperaments, had just uttered a few foul words, and the forbidden soldiers were even more simply, without saying a word, they went up and pulled off their mounts, pressed them to the ground and began to tie them with ropes.

It's broken, the capital has really changed! Jae-won almost fainted. Fortunately, a general ran out of it at this time, probably because he heard the shouts of "This is Prince Yi's driver" outside, so he hurriedly ran out. He drank the forbidden army who was still in action, and looked at Zaiyuan with a pale face for a long time, and suddenly shouted "oops" in his mouth, "Sure enough, it's Prince Yi, how offended, how offended!" ”

After experiencing this moment of ice and fire, the narration of the general who rescued them made it clear why the capital was so strictly guarded? It turned out that just a few days ago, there was a big case in the capital, and this big case did not happen elsewhere, but in the Forbidden City. A few masked gangsters who didn't know who they were instructed by took advantage of the night to sneak into the inner city, and not only that, but they were also bold enough to touch the outside of the palace ruled by the little emperor. Although the guards on duty found out in time, the little emperor was unscathed, but after all, the little emperor was still too young, and the fierce fighting and shouting outside still scared the little emperor into losing two souls, and since then he has been crying every night. The most intolerable thing is that those gangsters actually broke through the encirclement of the guards and escaped from Ouchi with injuries.

Think about it, if such a big event happens, can Yi Xin, as the king of parliament, not be in a hurry? Above the court, Yi Xin jumped like thunder, not only severely punishing the guards on duty, but also the dignified Prince Zheng Duanhua was also scolded by him. Yi Xin began to personally enter the palace to accompany the little emperor, and Duanhua, who was also the head of the inner guard, the commander of the infantry army and the commander of the Yamen of the Nine Gates, naturally did not dare to slack off, and was also on duty as the foreman of the palace in person.

At this moment, the entire capital couldn't help but make a fuss, all the inner and outer city gates were closed day and night, and the city was even curfew and house-to-house checks. In order to capture the absconding gangsters, all the people who enter and leave the city must be strictly interrogated. In particular, for the soldiers entering and leaving, if there is no special road guide for the defense of the Nine Commanders' Yamen, not only will they not be allowed to enter or leave, but they will also be captured on the spot and sent to the department for detailed investigation.

Alas...... What an eventful time! Zaigaki sighed secretly.

Entering the Forbidden City's Longzong Gate, first of all, it is a long and narrow courtyard from east to west, which sits in the north and faces south with three consecutive rooms, which was originally the location of the Military Aircraft Department and the Jiuqing Dynasty, and now it has become Yixin's temporary official office. After passing through the courtyard, go further north, pass through the Yangxin Gate, which is the Yangxin Palace and the dormitory of the little emperor.

At first glance, when he saw Zaiyuan, who had been absent for more than two months, if it weren't for Duanhua, who came in with him, Yixin almost didn't recognize him. This former bright and bright Lord Yi is now a bit of an exaggeration to say that he is unkempt, but if he just rolled in the dirt, it is not false at all. Yixin naturally understood why this Yi Wang Ye would make such a wolf, he caught up with the first few steps, grabbed Zaiyuan's hand, and was so excited that he didn't say anything for a long time.

"It's finally back!" The exhausted Zaiyuan breathed a long sigh of relief, and tried his best to pretend to be very flat, "King Gong, you are really clever at playing this hand." ”

On the way from the noon gate to here, Duanhua had already succinctly told Zaiyuan about the recent occurrence in the capital. Li Hongzhang secretly returned to Beijing, was protected by the Russians, and had frequent contact. Although a possible means have been used until now, and the exact inside story of what Li Hongzhang and the Russians are going to do, in order to prevent trouble, under the personal direction of Duanhua, a so-called masked gangster assassinating the king and killing the driver was staged in the Forbidden City, thus starting a comprehensive martial law on the capital.

Yixin smiled bitterly, "Oh, my King Yi, where am I smart, but I'm too afraid of losing my head." It's good if you're back, quick, tell us about your latest situation there. ”

"Lord Wang, wash your face first." Two eunuchs came in with a basin of warm water and toiletries.

Zaiyuan didn't wash it, just took a wet face towel, wiped a few handfuls on his face and neck, and then sat on the big kang, no matter who the tea on the kang table was, he picked it up and threw it up. After drinking three tea bowls in a row, he wiped his mouth comfortably, looked at the idlers in the big house and left, and swept his eyes on Yixin and Duanhua, "That's not important, I'd better listen to the two of you first's opinions on the current shape." ”

Yixin opened his mouth, looked at Duanhua, and then at Zaiyuan, and sighed helplessly, "Alas...... The current situation is really confusing to me. He went on to say that although Li Hongzhang was hidden in Changchun Garden by the Russians, neither Fan Wenrui, who was deeply trusted by Cixi, nor Qiying, who had a close relationship with Ignatiev, or anything else that came in return, did not confirm what they would do next. The martial law of the capital and the strict precautions of the Forbidden City did not seem to have a strong reaction after the Russians heard about it. Yixin even felt that these people were too nervous......

"You mean that Muravyov has ordered a temporary cut off of military supplies to the Loyal Salvation **?"

"yes," Yixin nodded, frowning again, "Isn't that too strange?" ”

"God-man...... What a man of God......"

What God-man? Yixin saw Zaiyuan looking at him directly, and he was still muttering such strange words in his mouth, and he was confused for a while. He looked at Duan Hua, who also had an inexplicable look, then looked at Zaiyuan, and patted the kang table gently, "I said Yiwang, what are you talking about?" ”

"Oh...... Hehe......" Zaiyuan shook his head vigorously as if he had just woken up from a dream, and sighed, "Someone has called me, after Li Hongzhang secretly sneaks back to the capital, he will definitely go to meet Cixi secretly, and then contact the Russians." If the Russians had informed us of the news as soon as they saw Li Hongzhang, then ...... Then the current auxiliary government can still survive for a while. And if we are not informed of this news, then there is a possibility that Li Hongzhang will be secretly executed by the Russians, provided that the Russians will never contact him frequently. There is also the last possibility, which is to cut off the supply to Zhongyi to save **, and then inform us that Li Hongzhang is transferred back to Beijing. Why? Because the warships we ordered in England are coming back, and they are going to put Li Hongzhang as Minister of the Navy. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister Yamen has received a notification from Britain that the thirty warships we have ordered will soon be shipped from Britain." Yixin looked at Zaiyuan in surprise, which master is this, how can he be so clear about the Qing Dynasty's qiē, "This...... What does this mean? ”

"Now the first one has been satisfied, that is, the military supply of loyalty and righteousness to save ** has been cut off. Wait until...... When the Russians start to ask you to ask Li Hongzhang to be the Minister of the Navy, the Russians will openly and forcibly interfere in the change of our Qing regime again. ”

"His grandmother, these Russians are really vicious!" Duanhua listened to Zaiyuan's words as if listening to a story, and couldn't help but be angry. After scolding, he suddenly felt that something was wrong again, "I said Yiwang, where is the person you said about ordering you, who is it?" Why doesn't he seem to know too much about what we're doing here, could it be that he's in the capital? ”

Zaiyuan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "He's in Jinan." ”

"Jinan?" Duanhua looked at Yixin in surprise, and turned his head to look at Zaiyuan again in disbelief, "You...... How can your brother dig such a clever person from them? After speaking, he subconsciously looked at the door, "Is it possible to be such a big capable person...... Didn't you find a way to bring him back? Like the old ancestor, Duanhua also likes to watch "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" very much, and when he heard Zaiyuan say this, he couldn't help but think of the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks in the Three Kingdoms.

"I really want to," Zaiyuan also turned his head to look at the closed door, and with another wry smile, he lowered his voice and sighed, "It's a pity, that person is their King An, and now they are called the director of their northern camp, our biggest enemy." ”

"This ...... This...... This ......" Yixin buzzed, and his head grew several times.

Jae-won didn't care what Yixin was thinking, and then continued, "He said that the Russians are most likely going to choose this last way. As soon as I left Jinan and arrived in Dezhou, I secretly sent instructions to Mianxun in Huaiqing and Ruilin in Zhangde, telling Mianxun to make a detour back to King Qin, and let Ruilin guard against Li Hongzhang's descendant Weihui Town's army and horses going north. In addition, Monk Greenqin has also rushed back to the army, Prince Hui Mianyu is a wall-to-wall grass, without Monk Greenqin there, once there is a storm in the capital, it is difficult to say who he will end up to. After all, let's get ready to wait for the Russians' flop now. ”

OMG! Yixin didn't seem to know it, but looked at Zaiyuan, what kind of place is Jinan? Could it be that Jinan is a big dye vat? "Yiwang, what should you do with the Yellow River defense line if you make such a fuss?"

"Yes, Huaiqing's Mianxun moves, won't the Yellow River defense line become an ornament?" Duanhua was also anxious, "Oh, you're too ...... Too...... That's it. What if this is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's counter-plot? ”

"Alas...... You guys......" Zaiyuan sighed and shook his head, "Why did I do this?" You've patronized the capital, didn't you send someone to the south to have a good look? Li Hongzhang's right-hand men have long since left their respective defensive positions. ”

"That'...... Then you should always discuss with King Gong in advance. Duanhua jumped off the big kang with a huff, looked at Yixin, who had an ugly face, and stomped his foot at Zaiyuan. He knows that Yixin is a person, no matter when, in the face of a person of Zaiyuan's status, Yixin is unwilling to say unpleasant things publicly.

"Counseling? When the discussion was over, the cucumber dishes were cold. Zaiyuan glared at Duanhua angrily, and then looked at Yixin, who was obviously dissatisfied with himself, and sighed helplessly, "I also have to do this as a last resort!" You don't know, how do you know what happened in Jinan. We...... The people we invited are not friends at all, the whole thing is a group of wolves, for their own interests, they are not only playing tricks on us, but also betraying us......"
