Compared to the chaos in the city, it seems that the outside of the city is slightly quieter.

After all, all the gates to get out of the city and into the city were sealed, and now the people in Kyoto want to flee and not go this way anymore.

So their journey is quite safe. Although I also met some soldiers, they were all dressed up.

When they were about to arrive in Kyoto, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in front of them. It was a group of guards of the Imperial City who stopped them.

The person at the head looked like a member of the royal family, with fine skin and tender meat, but his eyes were extraordinary-yin. Chu Yue looked at their clothes, but she didn't see where they were, soldiers.

On the contrary, it was the old lady on the side, her eyes lit up, and she recognized them at a glance: "They are the Imperial Guard!" How could the Imperial Guards, who were supposed to be guarding the palace, appear in this place?! ”

The Imperial Forest Army is the most special army, they should be in the palace at this moment to protect the emperor's safety, but they actually appeared in this place, how can people not be shocked?

The leader stopped in front of their carriage on a tall horse, and asked Xie An outside, "Who are you?" Isn't it forbidden to go out in the city ahead? How did you guys get here? ”

Chu Yue's heart "chuckled", looking at this person's arrogant appearance, I only felt that this time it was probably not a simple problem that could be solved with money.

Before Xie An could speak, the man waved the long sword in his hand and danced in the direction of the carriage: "Tell all the people in this carriage to come down!" Routine checks! ”

Sure enough, a common phrase throughout the ages is a routine inspection, right?

At this time, it would not end well to fight against the Royal Guards, so they stepped out of the car one by one.

When Chu Yue got out of the carriage, he looked at the man and frowned, naturally knowing why they were here: "Where did you come from? ”

At this time, coaxing him must be a good idea. Chu Yue felt that they could tell the truth for the time being, and then just take one step at a time.

Obviously, Xie Siyun also thinks so.

So he hugged his fist very politely at the man, and then said, "We are from Nanzhou City. I had already bought a property in Beijing, but my sister and wife were pregnant during the war in Nanzhou, so I didn't dare to stay in Nanzhou City. I want to come to Kyoto is the safest place now, so I want to set off for Beijing, how much let this old and weak woman and children, don't suffer in Nanzhou! ”

In this carriage, there are indeed most women, especially Xie Jiangqi's pregnancy is obvious, and the age of the old lady is also obvious.

Sure enough, the leader nodded, and then muttered, "It doesn't look like a thief." It's just that Kyoto in front of you has also been sealed off, so I'm afraid you won't be able to enter. ”

Really...... This is the worst possible ending, right?

Xie Siyun lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Since you can come out of this city, you can always think of a way to enter Kyoto." Now we don't have any way back, do we? ”

Xie Siyun was so frank, but he won a little favor from that person.

He nodded, then looked back at the city gate of Kyoto, which was already close in front of him: "Ask for more blessings for yourselves." Now in the entire DPRK and China, I am afraid that there is no safe place. We're going to the front, and if you can get into the city, I'm afraid you'll lose the rear, right? ”

Listening to the helplessness in his tone, Chu Yue suddenly had a good impression of him: I'm afraid no one wants this court to become like this. If they did manage to get into the city, it would prove that no matter how hard these people worked on the front line, the rear would be easily breached. At that time, it is indeed meaningless for them to sprinkle their heads and blood outside.

Then the man prepared to go.

But before he could leave, he suddenly heard Xie Siyun shouting to him: "General, wait!" ”

The man stopped his steps to get on the horse, and turned his head to look at Xie Siyun suspiciously.

I only heard Xie Siyun say: "I don't know the general's name? ”

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, hesitated for a moment, but still told them: "My name is Su Ping." ”

Xie Siyun clenched his fists again: "My name is Xie Siyun." I would like to ask the general for one thing. ”

"Xie Siyun?"

Su Ping muttered this name in his mouth, and suddenly his eyes lit up a little: "You are the legendary third young master of the Xie family in Nanzhou City?" ”

Legend? When did he become a legend? Even the people in the imperial city have heard of his reputation?

Chu Yue knew that they were already quite famous in the business world, but she didn't expect that even the people in the imperial city had heard of their reputation.

Xie Siyun smiled slightly, but he was not arrogant or impatient: "General Su has an overreputation." What kind of legend is not legendary, but there has never been such a ability to make General Su call me a legend! ”

Su Fangcai's eyes were still full of gloom, but at this moment, there was a lot of brightness, and he seemed to like Xie Siyun very much: "I heard that your couple is amazing." Even the imperial businessmen in Beijing who always took advantage of the people were burdened by you and were dealt with by the emperor himself. The emperor has always said that he wants to see you, but he didn't expect that you were coming to Kyoto at such a time, which is really embarrassing! ”

No way? Even the emperor is going to see them?

For the first time, Chu Yue felt that she was proud of being a member of the Xie family.

It was Xie Siyun, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a little more bitterness in his smile: "I have a reluctant request, I don't know if General Su can agree?" ”

Su Ping already had a good impression of them at the moment, so he naturally wanted to listen to them: "Oh? Please also speak. ”

Xie Siyun looked back at the gate of Kyoto and sighed lightly: "I don't know the general...... Will we be able to send our family into the city? If it weren't for the fact that there was really no way, we would never have risked all the way from Nanzhou City to here at this time. Since I met the general, I naturally have to be cheeky and ask the general. Regardless of the situation in Beijing, we have absolutely no other way to do it here. ”

Su Ping was stunned, and then smiled dumbly: "You actually want to find me and escort you into Beijing?" It's a bold idea. ”

Yes, who would have thought that at this time, Xie Siyun would choose the general of the Royal Forest Army to send them to Kyoto?

Even Chu Yue couldn't help but praise Xie Siyun, he was really bold!

Xie Siyun was not in a hurry, he simply straightened his body and continued to Na Su Ping: "I know that the general is in a hurry, but ...... If the general is out of this range, he will know that the situation outside has already been decided, and whether the general is in a hurry or not is in a hurry is actually irrelevant. ”

"Oh?"

The light in Su Ping's eyes flickered, and the long sword in his hand tightened a little: "If you can convince me today, I will personally escort you into Beijing." But if you can't...... I'm afraid that even if you are the third young master of the Xie family in Nanzhou City, you can't be so good! ”

Sometimes Chu Yue feels that Xie Siyun is really a gambler.

She almost guessed what Xie Siyun wanted to say next.

Sure enough, Xie Siyun was not afraid, but just walked a little closer to Su Ping: "Let me ask General Su first, do you know the situation outside?" ”

Su Ping's hand holding the long sword tightened: "Naturally." The rebels have crossed the territory of Nanzhou and are heading towards Kyoto to kill their generals. We are going to the last barrier outside of Kyoto, the Saisui River. In the Qishui River, he fought with the rebels of the night rain and wind, and then came back to restore the prince's life. ”

How simple is their idea?

Even Xie Siyun couldn't help laughing: "Then let me ask you again, what is the prince's evaluation of Ye Yufeng and his army?" ”

Su Ping frowned slightly, who didn't know what the meaning of this question was, but he still answered truthfully: "They killed people like hemp, and none of the cities they passed were slaughtered." The people are crying out for days, waiting for us to come to our rescue. ”

"Wrong!"

Xie Siyun smiled coldly and looked at the cold city gate of Kyoto behind him: "Really...... Big mistake! The army of the night rain and wind is well-behaved and orderly. Wherever they passed, the people applauded. Even some bandits who had existed for many years were recruited by them and gave their belongings to those homeless homeless people. Although they are not famous, but the fact that they can fight all the way from the east so easily, has it not related to the support of the people? ”

Hearing this, Su Ping's face changed: "This ...... That's impossible! The emperor and the crown prince are the true dragon emperors, and the prince of the night rain and wind rebelled, you even want to speak for the thief!? ”

"Yes."

Xie Siyun's expression was very calm: "Do we want to speak for the anti-thief because we are also anti-thieves?" In our Nanzhou City, there are so many displaced people, and for two whole years, has the imperial court been in charge? Do you know how much tax we paid to the imperial court just for the sake of cultivating pearls? Maybe the military service of your whole life is not as much as the tax burden we handed over to the court this year! And this is still in the case that we have friends in the government to help, can you think about how much tax burden we have to pay to the government if we are helpless? ”

Xie Siyun wanted to say these words a long time ago, right?

In fact, isn't it the first moon?

If there were no such harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, whether it was Dongzhou or Nanzhou, why would it decline day by day?

"No, it can't be!"

Su Ping took a step back, as if everything he saw in front of him was fake, and his spirit collapsed a little: "How is this possible!?" The imperial court has never been burdened with so many taxes, and the treasury has always been empty! Court...... No...... That's impossible! ”

Looking at his face that changed little by little, Xie Siyun knew that he had guessed: "How are those officials mediocre and corrupt, I'm afraid you don't know one or two of them by the emperor's side all day long, right?" ”
