Ye Die may have seen Zhong Hui's distress on the side, and stepped forward and said, "Childe, it's going to be winter, and we still have to buy things for winter." Yesterday Daddy had already gone shopping for charcoal, so why don't you go with me to see the clothes, and if you have something you like, Fluttershy will make you a winter coat. ”

Zhong Huijiao was a little tired from teaching, and when he heard Ye Die say this, he also wanted to go out to breathe.

"Well, it's okay, I'll go with you to have a look. After speaking, he turned his head to Crazy Qi and said, "You just concentrate on practicing at home, repeat what I just said, and use your brain more to ponder." ”

"Hmm. After listening to Zhong Hui's words, he reluctantly responded.

No matter how well the madness goes, Zhong will wander around the streets, ignoring all those bad things. It's winter, and there are obviously more pedestrians on the streets than usual, and many people are preparing for winter and want to have a safe and secure winter.

"Childe, you see this material is good. Ye Die took a piece of fabric and gestured on Zhong Hui's body.

"Well, that's good. Zhong Hui didn't know what to wear, so he let Ye Die fiddle with it at will, anyway, all the money and bounties he got were given to Ye Die, and he never cared about these things.

"Look, this one isn't bad either. ”

"Drive, get out of the way, get out of the way. Zhong Hui has been responding to Ye Die, and suddenly there were a few loud shouts from outside the store, followed by the sound of horses' hooves. Zhong Hui walked to the door and saw a group of knights flying away, looking very anxious.

"Childe, what's wrong?" Ye Die followed closely to the door and asked.

Zhonghui shook his head, "I don't know. ”

Although Zhong Hui didn't know what was going on, he always felt that something big was going to happen. It seems that he has to go to the prince's mansion to see the situation. Before he could finish his thoughts, several more carriages appeared hurriedly driving through the streets, and Zhong Hui recognized that it was the carriage of the craftsman and the prisoner, and the carriage of the craftsman and the supervisor would not normally leave the imperial city, and the scale was so large, which made him feel that something was wrong.

"Shopkeeper, wrap these sets of fabrics, Fluttershy, you take the fabrics home first, and I'll go to the Prince's Mansion to see what's going on." ”

Ye Die also felt that something was wrong and nodded.

"Childe, be careful. ”

Three days later, the weather in Beijing became colder and colder, and every house lit charcoal fires.

On that day, Zhong Hui went to the prince's mansion to ask for details, but he didn't expect Guan Yi to have been in the palace for a long time and had not returned, and Cheng Rui also entered the palace with Guan Yi. Unable to find Guan Yi, Zhong Hui went to find Han Duan, and heard from him that the emperor was in poor health, and the imperial doctor was already doing his best to diagnose and treat it, but it didn't work, and it was estimated that it wouldn't be long before His Majesty the Emperor would ride away.

Zhong Hui was roasting at home with Ye Die's father and daughter, discussing with Ye Hao what would happen after the winter, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.

The person who came was a chamberlain in the palace, and Zhong Hui had never seen it. As soon as the attendant entered the door, he respectfully said to Zhong Hui: "Commander Zhong, Your Highness said that there is something important to discuss with the commander, let the commander go quickly." ”

"Did Your Highness tell me what happened?" Zhong Hui asked.

"Your Highness didn't say anything, but seeing His Highness's appearance, he was quite anxious, so let me quickly report to the commander. ”

Zhonghui nodded, "Well, okay, got it, I'll go." ”

After speaking, he turned his head, explained to Ye Die's father and daughter, and hurried to the prince's mansion with his attendants.

On the way to the palace, Zhong Hui saw that the streets were full of soldiers coming and going. Seeing that this outfit is obviously not from the city defense battalion, and besides, the commander of himself is here, and he knows the movement of the city defense battalion best. In addition to the city defense battalion, only the Gyeonggi battalion can quickly move troops in the capital. Something big must have happened, otherwise the Gyeonggi camp would not have entered Beijing at will.

Thinking of this, the bell will speed up.

In a short time, they arrived at the foot of the imperial city. At the gate of the palace was waiting for an old eunuch, this eunuch Zhong Hui recognized, the one who issued an edict to suppress bandits last time.

When the old eunuch saw that Zhong Hui was coming, he walked over quickly, and said in a soft tone: "The commander is here, go with the old slave, His Highness is still waiting for the commander." ”

The old eunuch led Zhong Hui towards the palace, Zhong Hui followed behind, watching the old eunuch although he was crumbling, but he walked very fast, and Zhong Hui also took a big step to barely catch up.

"I don't know what this father-in-law is called?" Zhong Hui felt that he should know more about the affairs in the palace, so as not to get a problem and he was confused, so he talked to the eunuch.

"The old slave's surname is Cao. The commander just calls me Gonggong Cao. The eunuch replied to Zhong Hui.

"Father-in-law Cao, I don't know what happened in the palace, so urgent?"

"The old slave doesn't know. When the commander sees His Highness, he will naturally know. “

Zhong Hui understood that the old eunuch must have known what was going on, but he didn't say anything. He is not reluctant, and he will naturally know when he meets Guan Yi. followed the old eunuch for a while and came to the Qinzheng Palace.

The old eunuch stopped, turned to Zhong Hui and said, "Commander, it's here." His Royal Highness is inside, and the old slave won't go in. ”

"Well, thank you father-in-law. After speaking, Zhong Hui stepped into the Qinzheng Palace.

As soon as I entered the main hall, there were already several people sitting in the hall. Zhong Hui fixed his eyes and saw that in addition to the three or four people he didn't know, there was also the high priest he had seen last time, he was the first to sit on the left hand seat, and the seat opposite him was empty, and then there was Sikong Liang Qian, the priest who prevented him from receiving the reward last time, and there was a middle-aged man who was obviously dressed as a military general. Prince Guan Yi sat on the top, his eyes slightly closed, and his hand on his forehead.

Guan Yiyi saw Zhong Hui come in, and said: "Commander Zhong is here, sit down first, and when everyone is ready, we will start talking." ”

Zhong Hui saluted, and sat at the last one on the right hand, he still distinguishes between this dignity and humility, and all the people sitting here are first-class members of the imperial court, and he is only a seventh-rank lord, he is completely unqualified to sit here, and now he can sit, I am afraid that it is because he is the commander of the city defense battalion.

In the palace, the ministers whispered to each other, and they could guess what was going on by looking at them. Zhong Hui looked at the middle-aged man in military uniform next to him, this middle-aged man looked very mighty, his arms were powerful, his cheeks were sharp and angular, and he sat down like a mountain. Zhong Hui asked him in a low voice: "In Xia Zhonghui, the current commander of the city defense battalion, I don't know what this general is called?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhong Hui and replied in a deep voice, "Gyeonggi Camp Liang Shi." ”

There are no superfluous polite words, just like a military man, he speaks competently and decisively. According to the position, the two may be in the same position, but the title is different, this Liang Shi is at least two or three titles higher than Zhong Hui. Zhong saw Liang Shi and didn't have anything to say, so he closed his mouth and closed his eyes.

After a while, a staggering figure appeared outside the main hall.
