Zong Mao walked out of the inner courtyard, smiled and nodded at Xu Yiyang, who was standing outside, and then left the General Military Mansion with light steps.

The reason why Xu Yiyang looked on the outside was because he was worried about the fierce conflict between the two lives inside. For so many years, he had never seen his father-in-law arguing with anyone, and he beat up the eldest son of his uncle's family on the street, and his father-in-law just laughed it off. And the general of Pingyu made a good impression on him this morning and half, and talked to him like a brother.

Xiao Zhiyan came out after him, and the anxiety on his face was gone.

The meeting of these two people can only be for one thing, depending on the state, and the result is good.

Xu Yiyang packed up his bow and arrows and scimitar and entered the martial arts training ground, he hadn't done his homework today. He didn't interfere with this important thing, but the atmosphere in Nanjing City and the recent rumors gave him a sense of imminent danger. It's purely a gut feeling, an unfounded intuition.

Xiao Zhiyan went back to the bedroom and changed into a set of civilian clothes, and his nervous feelings eased.

Knowing her husband is Mo Ruo's wife, Gu Mei and Xiao Zhiyan have similar personalities, and the two of them have nothing to talk about on weekdays, and she obviously noticed the change in her husband's return from the face of the saint.

"Good news!?" She giggled, casually took the robe that Xiao Zhiyan had changed and hung it on the hanger, and a pair of soft and soft lids put on her husband's shoulders and rubbed them gently.

Because of the unbearable history of the past, she cherishes her position today.

Women are more or less a little vain, and the glory brought by Mrs. Hou has made her stand among many sisters in the past. She could now be one of the most powerful women in the city if she wanted to, but she rarely showed her head. Because I cherish it, I am especially afraid of losing.

"Good news!" Xiao Zhiyan leaned back in his chair, feeling comfortable as if floating in the clouds. When the prodigal son is tired and finally comes home, this may be the life he has been pursuing.

"King Lu won't enter Beijing!"

"Oh, that's great news!"

Xiao Zhiyan never deliberately hides anything from his wife, this is a pure trust. Of course, Gu Mei would not betray her husband, but they were all arrogant people, and they didn't notice that they had become the center of the whirlpool in Nanjing.

Zong Mao left the General Military Mansion, walked around the city of Nanjing with four guards, walked into a remote alley, and entered an inconspicuous house.

The Pingyu General's Mansion has its own organizations in various places, although it is not as large as the secret camp, but all the businesses in Jiangnan are acting according to Zong Mao's face, so Zong Mao also has reliable sources. This neighborhood is the property of the Pingyu General's Mansion, and if an outsider approaches, he can quickly get through guò.

He is going to hide here to watch the opening of this big drama in Nanjing.

The guards settled into their quarters and delivered orders. Zong Mao lives in a small dark house, and in this environment, it is very appropriate to do this kind of thing.

"It's dark, another day, and tomorrow at this time I will make that disobedient emperor tremble."

Zong Mao folded the letter in hand. He grew up in the grassland, and his heart was not bound by the rules and regulations of kings and ministers. In the grassland, whoever has the big fist is the king, in fact, in the Ming Dynasty, it is the same.

In the middle of the night, there was a knock at the door.

Zong Mao didn't fall asleep in the first place, he had complicated affairs in General Pingyu, and it was common for him to stay up late, sometimes he couldn't sleep all night.

"My lord, someone has come to see you!"

In the middle of the night, who will come to see him? Zong Mao put on his shirt and pulled the door open.

The guard bowed and handed over a delicate token. The token is cast in black iron, and the word "Pingyu" is delicately designed.

Zong Mao touched the token, raised his head and ordered: "Let him in!" ”

After a while, a tall middle-aged man walked in from outside, wearing a gray-white robe, the pace of the visitor was not fast, and one sleeve was empty.

Ji Hong walked into the room, and Zong Mao closed the door.

He knew what Ji Hong had been responsible for, so he didn't say a word. What he wants to say, Ji Hong already knows.

"I shouldn't have come to see you!" Ji Hong found a chair in the middle of the room and took it to the middle of the room and sat down. He really shouldn't have come to see Ji Hong, and the secret camp couldn't have any intersection with any generals. The main reason why Zhai Zhe chose him as the commander of the dark camp was because he liked his loyalty.

The two of them are brothers-in-law, compared to others, Ji Hong and Zong Mao will have more contacts, and Lu Ying often comes to see her sister.

"You want to stop me?"

"It's not too late to rein in the precipice." Ji Hong's expression was stern, "This is not a decision you can make. ”

Zong Mao shook his head and said, "This is the order of the great general!" ”

"You think you can fool me?"

Zong Mao turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, and said slowly: "The general ordered me and Chen Zilong to find a way to get the emperor to order He Tengjiao of Huguang to go east. ”

"Not bad!"

"But!" Zong Mao stood up, waved his arms, snorted coldly, and said, "But did he give an order?" ”

"Nope! Since he is so ignorant, why not give him a little color? So I'm just on the orders of the general! ”

Ji Hong was puzzled and asked, "What do you want to do?" King Tang abdicated and King Lu ascended the throne, there is no possibility! ”

"I'm just asking for orders from the general!"

Ji Hong showed a tangled expression, he couldn't stop Zong Mao, Zong Mao had come to this point, it was impossible to retreat anymore.

"I just want you to know that everything you do can't be hidden from the general."

Zong Mao chuckled, "Why hide it from the general!" ”

Ji Hong arrived in the darkness and left in the darkness. The dark camp has sent Jiang Nansheng's Yiqi to Anqing, and the general should react quickly. He came here with the last glimmer of hope. But the secret camp has the duties of the secret camp, and he can't get involved in this political turmoil, only the order of the general is the only criterion for his actions.

The sky is bright, and the streets are slowly bustling with activity.

Nanjing's city defense was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and Xiao Zhiyan and Zheng Sen both restrained their soldiers and horses and deployed them tightly. The south gate and the east gate are under the control of Xiao Zhiyan, and the north gate and the west gate are guarded by the Zheng soldiers. The caravans entering the city clearly felt that the north and west gates were more tightly guarded. Jiangnan is Zhai Zhe's world, and when the crisis comes, Zheng Sen's 20,000 soldiers and horses are placed in Nanjing, as if they are surrounded by wolves.

In the afternoon, when the sun was at its strongest, Zong Mao walked out of the gloomy house and went straight to the Jingying General Military Mansion.

Xiao Zhiyan and Xu Yiyang were not in the mansion, and he ordered the guards guarding the mansion to pass the word.

After waiting for about an hour, Xiao Zhiyan rushed back in military uniform.

The first thing he said when he saw Zong Mao was that he asked, "When will King Lu return to Taizhou?" ”

"Zhang Mingzhen just sent the news and sent King Lu back tomorrow, so I specially came to tell you."

"That's really good, Mr. Zhang knows the righteousness!" Xiao Zhiyan was very excited.

Zong Mao took out a secret letter and handed it to Xiao Zhiyan, and said with a smile: "Zhang Mingzhen can't enter Nanjing, and Lord Chen ordered Meng Kang to lead his troops to follow, he doesn't retreat, and there is no other way to go." ”

Xiao Zhiyan opened it, the handwriting on the letter was very sloppy, the strokes were vigorous and powerful, he didn't know Zhang Mingzhen's font but he thought that Zong Mao would not lie to himself.

He hastily read the letter, folded it and returned it to Zong Mao, and instructed: "Jiangbei Qing captured Chen Bing, and there must be no chaos within the imperial court." This letter was written in the tone of Zhang Mingzhen to ask Zong Mao for his guilt, begging him to speak before the general to forgive King Lu and his sins.

Zong Mao didn't take it, and said with a smile: "This kind of good news, don't you tell Zheng Zongbing and His Majesty?" His Majesty summoned Uncle Xiao yesterday, presumably very concerned about this news, and Uncle Xiao told His Majesty as soon as possible, which can also make His Majesty feel at ease. ”

The two have always been very close, and Xiao Zhiyan is like his own son and nephew to Zong Mao, where is the slightest suspicion.

Zong Mao hesitated when he saw Xiao Zhiyan, and then said: "I will go with you, first find Zheng Zongbing, and then go to tell His Majesty, and also plead for intercession with King Lu and Zhang Zongbing." Although I am the head of the Pingyu General's Mansion, I have no official position and no title, if I can't go with Uncle Xiao, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to see His Majesty. ”

Xiao Zhiyan immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, let the nervous Nanjing City breathe a sigh of relief as soon as possible." ”

Zheng Sen and Xiao Zhiyan are responsible for the defense of Nanjing, and they have many contacts on weekdays. Xiao Zhiyan will only have friends, not opponents, no matter whether Zheng Sen likes him or not, at least he is harmonious on the surface.

The two of them left the General Military Mansion, and from Dongcheng District to Xicheng, it was already sunset.

Zheng Sen was learning sword skills with martial arts instructors in the house, and when he saw Xiao Zhiyan and Zong Mao coming together, he immediately went back to the house to change into a set of formal clothes to face the guests.

Xiao Zhi's words explain the meaning.

Of course, Zheng Sen was also secretly relieved, he did not suspect that these two people would come to deceive him. Jiangnan is the world of General Pingyu, if Zhai Zhe really wants to abolish the emperor, his 20,000 soldiers and horses will only dare to watch.

He looked up at the sky and said, "I'm afraid it's a little late to enter the palace at this moment!" ”

"It's not too late!" Zong Mao stepped forward and arched his hand: "King Lu has no malicious intent, Zhang Zongbing was confused for a while, Zheng Zongbing is His Majesty's favorite general, I hope to be able to say a few kind words in front of the saint, and ask for forgiveness for the sins of these two people." ”

As soon as he said this, the intention of the two became to beg the Zheng family and General Pinglu to join forces to intercede with Emperor Longwu.

Zheng Sen pondered for a moment, secretly thinking that it was impossible for the General Mansion to hand over King Lu to the imperial court for disposal. The failure of the Pinglu General's Mansion to persecute the imperial court this time was already a great shame, and Emperor Longwu took this opportunity to establish the prestige of the imperial court, and he could not force Zhai Zhe too much.

King Lu retreated, it was a happy situation, and it was Emperor Longwu who really got the cheapest.

"Okay, I'll walk with you."

Everyone quickened their pace to the palace, the sun had just sunk to the ground, and it was still bright outside.

This small court in Nanjing City does not have as many rules as Beijing City at the beginning. Tang King Zhu Yujian usually poses close to the ministers, so his reputation is not bad.

After a while, the little eunuch reported inside, and a decree came from the middle palace and ordered the three of them to enter to pay a visit.

Zheng Sen and Xiao Zhiyan jointly asked to see each other, in the current situation, even in the middle of the night, Zhu Yujian would get up from the bed, not to mention that there was also Zong Mao, the head of the Pinglu General's Mansion. He had never met Zong Mao, but he had heard the man's name from time to time.
