On the second day after the first snow fell on the land of Qiyang, Zhan Qi and Yu Tianzheng were ordered by the emperor to leave the capital in this white season between heaven and earth, and lead their troops to the north and south to quell the chaos.

The two generals set out at the same time, and at noon that day, the horns of the battle sounded one after another, resounding throughout the capital, boosting the morale of the sergeants who went out.

The army of the southern and northern expeditions finally left the capital and embarked on the journey.

Although there was an invasion of foreign enemies in the north and civil strife in the south, the political turmoil in the north and south did not have much impact on the capital.

The capital of Qiyang is prosperous and stable as always, and it is a peaceful image of singing and dancing. Walking into the streets and alleys of the city, you can not see the panic caused by the war between the north and the south, and the people in the city live the same life as before in a peaceful scene.

The war seems to be far away from the capital; Peace also seems to be favoring this land in the capital.

Until the eighth day of Zhan Qi and Yu Tianzheng's departure from Beijing, the scene of peace was wiped out by a major accident.

That night, Du Xiaomeng was just about to fall asleep, but she heard a noise outside as if something big had happened. She put on her clothes and went out to check what was going on, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw several officers and soldiers with knives rushing into Si'en Garden murderously, and before she could react, she was escorted to the hall by those officers and soldiers with knives to her neck.

The hall was brightly lit, and a group of officers and soldiers with knives stood in a circle. Old Man Zhan, Zhan Li, Steward Yang and his wife, and some subordinates have all been taken to the hall.

The officer and soldier who was holding Du Xiaomeng pushed hard, pushing her into a stumbling fall into the crowd.

Someone wanted to reach out to help her, but a fierce officer and soldier with a fleshy face immediately shook the sharp knife in his hand and shouted impatiently: "Don't move!" Whoever dares to move will cut him down! ”

Hearing this, everyone did not dare to move, nor did they dare to make a sound.

Du Xiaomeng's location was a few steps away from Old Man Zhan and them, she didn't want to cause trouble, so she stood firmly in place and peeked at Old Man Zhan, and saw that he was calm and not surprised. Zhan Li, who was leaning on Old Man Zhan's side, was frightened by this formation, and grabbed his father's arm tightly, his face turned pale.

Not long after, the rest of the General's Mansion was escorted in by officers and soldiers one after another, and soon, the originally spacious hall became crowded. Many people should have been pulled out of the bed by the officers and soldiers in their sleep, wearing only single clothes, shivering with cold. But under the sharp knives of the officers and soldiers, no one dared to complain, huddled in a ball and stood there in fear to keep quiet.

Du Xiaomeng didn't know what was going on, and she didn't know what the situation was now, but she thought that Old Man Zhan was still sick, and she was worried that his body would not be able to stand it in such an environment. So she took advantage of every time the officers and soldiers escorted people in, she quietly approached Old Man Zhan and them, and it didn't take long for her to squeeze to Old Man Zhan's side. She looked at Old Man Zhan worriedly, and Old Man Zhan smiled back at her with a comforting calm smile.

In the current situation, Du Xiaomeng can't be as calm as Old Man Zhan. She leaned a little closer to Old Man Zhan and peeked around uneasily. Soon, she was a little surprised to find that Xiaohong was already in the crowd, but Qiu Sha was nowhere to be seen. Avon Garden is not a remote place, it stands to reason that if the officers and soldiers were searching and arresting people one by one, Avon Garden should have been searched a long time ago, but why hasn't Xiaohong been escorted over in Qiusha?
