Everything happened at noon the next day.

A series of unexpected situations make people have no time to think deeply, so they almost make a wrong step, and there is no room for turnaround.

Xiao Lian, who was in charge of guarding the cell, quietly opened the door of the county government cell at some point, releasing the remaining remnants of the Tianhe faction who had time to be disposed of in the future. These rivers and lakes were reckless, and they quickly killed all the guards in the cells. Immediately after fleeing to the city gate, the guards guarding the city sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly reported it to Zhang Anjiang when it was too late.

At the same time, Ling Fengchen and Bai Muguan were dealing with a tricky matter in the county office. In the afternoon, those who were summoned to the county government office vomited and diarrhea one by one, their limbs were weak, and they were almost in a coma, apparently because there was something wrong with the food. They stay in the county government to help, and there is a special person responsible for food, clothing, housing and transportation, and they will not make mistakes when they are idle, but nothing will be spared.

Bai Muguan sent someone to urgently summon the local famous doctors in Suzhou County to prescribe diagnosis and treatment for them, and it took nearly two hours to rescue them. Seeing that their lives were in danger, she had time to ask the doctor about the cause. After some inspection, a large amount of croton residue was found in the swill bucket.

arrested and tortured several cooks who were in charge of the public kitchen, and they all said that they didn't know, and explained that only the staff officer Tao Yuhong had come to the public kitchen in the morning to look at the dishes under the pretext of seeing them. This Tao Yuhong is a diner, and he is quite interested in food, and often sneaks to the chef to ask someone to add a few more appetizers for him. Therefore, the secret guards who were staring at him didn't care, who would have expected such a big storm.

"Send someone to invite Staff Officer Tao!" As he spoke, Bai Muguan sat in the county office, where he had not been promoted to the court for a long time, and the dust on the desk was thick.

A county has no leader, the officials are withering, and the rivers and lakes are reckless, which really hurts the people of Suzhou. How to be worthy of the four big characters of "Mirror Hanging" on the plaque?

After waiting for a long time, the official who came back to restore his life said in a panic: "Tao ...... Staff Officer Tao had already fled, not only had his bags been packed, but his family's carriage had left the city last night. ”

"Bastard!" Bai Muguan was so angry that he slammed the startled wood on the desk, and the bang sound was terrifying.

Angry, she is still sane, in the end, it was their negligence and easy to fall into the trap that Tao Yuhong had prepared for a long time. Where can you go if you escape from the city? Even if Tao Yuhong has someone behind him to protect him and drag his children and daughters, he has to escape through many levels.

When Ling Fengchen learned of this, he ordered an all-out search of Tao Yuhong's family, and at any cost, he began to search door to door from the county seat directly under the jurisdiction of Suzhou County, even the wine shop, Qinglou, farm, etc.

When Zhang Anjiang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, Bai Muguan and Ling Fengchen had already settled down. However, the bad news he brought was even more shocking!

Xiao Lian......

This Xiao character is really hard to prevent.

Zhang Anjiang's age is not light, his complexion is deep to cover the lines of his forehead and eyebrows, at this moment, the cold sweat of soybeans is rolling down and vaguely showing his old state, and his expression is anxious and not fake: "Those remnants broke out of the city, and the city gate was stuck, and the two generals should think about how to return to His Highness." ”

Yu Wenye was originally suspicious of Xiao Lian's background, not only sent secret guards to investigate, but Ling Fengchen also personally investigated, and at that time, it was only found that he was born poor and grew up in a farm. Looking back now, how could a poor and poor child learn such good martial arts and almost get into the martial arts?

Ling Fengchen clenched the long knife beside him, and said apologetically to Bai Muguan: "I'll take the Jinyi guard to the city gate to have a look, and I bother you to report to His Highness." ”

At this time, he couldn't bear the anger of the prince, and he hoped that it would be better for her to go.

"Commander Ling's qualifications are better than mine, and it is appropriate to preside over the overall situation." Bai Muguan didn't care, and walked out of the county office with him, and then went their separate ways.

There is no need for her to tell her, Yu Wenye has already learned the news. Wuyi is also an interesting person, and when he saw Bai Muguan entering the house, he hurriedly retired first.

She stood quietly in front of him, forcibly calmed down as usual, and asked with her eyes: "Your Highness, what should I do?" ”

Yu Wenye stood up with a bow, looking equally calm: "How many people died?" ”

"The guards of the cell are all dead, the city gate is in chaos, and Commander Ling rushed there with the brocade guards."

Jinyiwei is the elite who protects the royal family, and he is easily unwilling to move, because of the sudden chaos, Ling Fengchen can't go to encircle and suppress alone. It can be seen that the urgency of the situation has been unexpected by them.

"If Huya leads the remnants of the Tianhe faction who have not been caught, plus the fugitives that Xiao Lian let go without permission, can he have a chance of winning by relying on the Jinyi Guards and the officials alone?" Yu Wenye's fluttering words were like a thousand pounds.

Bai Muguan's heart fluctuated, as if comforting himself: "No, they don't dare to rebel!" ”

He asked coldly, "Why don't you dare?" What kind of combat power do those servants have, the number of Jinyi guards is limited, even if you and Ling Fengchen are one against ten, it is the best time to take my life. ”

"Do you suspect that it was the Queen Mother's instructions?" Her pretty face turned white in an instant, and she didn't dare to imagine this one after another scheme, who else could there be besides Empress Dowager Xiao?

Immediately, the girl denied: "No, it won't be her...... In recent years, the three sects and nine streams on the rivers and lakes have been rampant and domineering, and now they are acting so recklessly, His Royal Highness just taught them a lesson! ”

Empress Dowager Xiao is far away in Beijing, even if she has great powers, once the status of the Empress Dowager does not allow her to put down her body and get involved with gangs in the rivers and lakes.

Seeing that she was lucky, Yu Wenye couldn't help but sigh and unveil the bloody cruelty: "The Queen Mother next to her will not, the Xiao family will." In order to frame King He, she did not hesitate to commit treason and collaborate with the enemy. ”

Yes, in order to achieve the goal, the Xiao family did not hesitate to commit adultery with the enemy country, and led the iron horse to trample on the territory of the Tianxi Dynasty, how could such an unscrupulous woman care about degrading her identity and using the people in the rivers and lakes?

The panic at this moment really came to his heart, Bai Muguan subconsciously clenched his stretched sleeves, and the feeling that the enemy was about to be pressed made people panic. She remembered that in the past, in Mobei, whenever the horn blew the tent of the Chinese army, her father always put on his battle robe and set out on a horse neatly. There is no time to fear, let alone hesitate, no matter how dangerous the commander of an army is, he can always stabilize the morale of the army, maybe the moment she longs for is really coming...... Without the protection of his father, he is on his own, and uses his flesh and blood to protect the people he wants to protect.

"Don't be afraid." Yu Wenye squeezed out a smile and patted her shoulder, "I have ordered someone to fetch Wang Feng." ”

With the assassination a few days ago, he knew that this matter would not be good. The Wang Feng Sword given to him by the Emperor can come in handy today.

Bai Muguan nodded: "I also asked Xiangyun to fetch my sword." ”

Young people are always vigorous and confident, they fight with swords, as well as Ling Fengchen and Jinyiwei, no matter how dangerous it is, they will not lose their lives to let Empress Dowager Xiao get her wish.

Outside the house, across a wall, Wu Yi was busy counting the secret guards he brought, totaling more than 200 people. Each is a top master, with strong martial arts, and can be called a fierce general.

When Bai Muguan saw Ling Fengchen again, the sun was already slanting in the west, the darkness and solemnity on his face were getting deeper and deeper, and the gray uniform was stained with blood.

At this time, there was nothing to pay attention to, Bai Muguan casually poured a cup of jasmine tea and handed it to him to moisten his throat, and asked eagerly: "How is the situation outside?" ”

"The lower officials were incompetent, most of them fled, a few died, and only one was captured." After that, he knelt down on one knee and pleaded guilty to Yu Wenye, and the exhaustion and frustration in his eyes were unobstructed.

As if he was surprised, Yu Wenye didn't get angry or blame, turned around to help him up, and only asked, "How about the death and injury of Jinyiwei?" Tell me carefully. ”

"Five hundred brocade guards, the lower officials took away three hundred thieves, and now less than half are left." Ling Fengchen smiled bitterly and swallowed the astringency in his throat, "These thieves are scheming, using their own formations on the rivers and lakes to trap the Jinyi Guards in it. Xia Guan was entangled by Xiao Lian and lacked skills, if it wasn't for Captain Zhang finding the opportunity to drag him down, Xia Guan wouldn't be able to leave at all. ”

After the first general, the young and brave imperial commander was defeated by the Jianghu Caokou, which was his shame, even if he was alive, he didn't have the face to return to Beijing to see people!

As for the Jinyi Guard, it was a team composed of the sons of the nobles, symbolizing the heroic and fearless royal guards, who actually lost so much in Suzhou, and still died under the knife of the rebellious grass coward. There is nothing but regret.

Bai Muwan's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Did Huya appear?" ”

Ling Fengchen shook his head: "Not yet, but the few corpses hanging on the city gate have disappeared while they are in chaos." ”

"Take all the remaining brocade guards who stayed at the post station, and go with the dark guards. The Tianhe faction's thieves are mottled in crimes, intent to rebel, and shoot and kill! We must protect the people of the county, and we must not let the traitors hurt the innocent. A string of commands blurted out, not allowing him to think deeply, and Yu Wenye's resoluteness seemed to be a shipwreck.

Ling Fengchen was slightly stunned and retorted: "Jinyi Wei is the elite who protects His Highness, how can he pour out his pockets? ”

"Wang Feng is in hand, this prince doesn't need their protection." Yu Wenye's jaw was slightly raised, and his angular facial features were not inferior to Ling Fengchen's fortitude. The scorching gaze was cold and firm, and the aura of a king made people dare not despise it.

After staring at each other for only a moment, Ling Fengchen, who had been defeated, arched his hand: "Yes." ”

After he left, Yu Wenye looked at Bai Muguan and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Huya will come, you can also change your clothes." ”

"Okay." The girl looked down and saw the unfashionable pink rose dress on her body, and hurriedly went to her room to change into a crimson dress with tight sleeves.

The rich scarlet is in the style of a military uniform, and the black hair like ink satin is tied up with a red headband, and even the ordinary hosta is useless.

"Miss, the slave is with you."

Pushing the door abruptly, it was Xiangyun.

This girl probably knew the crisis of the situation in front of her, and there were tears in her red eyes.

Bai Muguan grabbed her hand and asked anxiously: "What did Uncle Xu say?" ”

Xiangyun immediately said: "I wish Gongzi can rush back to Suzhou County tomorrow morning at the latest." Miss, there was a river of blood at the city gate, and many people died, and it looked even more tragic than the battlefield......"

Hearing this, Bai Muguan frowned faintly: "The dead are all officials and Jinyi guards, right?" ”

"There is not much left of the officials, and the poor Jinyi guards are still desperately resisting. Where is the thief, it is clearly like guarding the city......" The panicked Xiangyun didn't know, and the word "defending the city" was turned into a prophecy by her.

"I don't care about these false names. His Royal Highness is writing a recital at this time, and it is far from being able to quench the thirst of the near water when it is sent to the capital quickly. The corner of the girl's eyes jumped, and she hurriedly ordered, "You go and prepare pen and ink, I will write an official document in the name of His Royal Highness and send it to Zhezhou, and Lord Xiao will not sit idly by." ”

Xiangyun was nervous: "Is Lord Xiao reliable?" ”

"He's a chincha."

Xiao Sen is no better than Xiao Lian of unknown origin, he is a court official, and he is sent by the imperial court, if he is not invited to support at this time, who else can he be invited?

Xiangyun didn't hesitate any longer, and quickly found the four treasures of the study, and then asked, "Why didn't Miss let His Highness write a letter in person?" ”

"With the pride of His Highness, how can you bow your head to your courtiers and plead? I'm done writing, and it's easy to put his gold seal on it. Bai Muguan explained, and he didn't stop grinding the inkstone in his hand to write.

I suddenly thought that I had specially practiced his handwriting last night, and I was also handy at copying at the moment.

Xiangyun sighed secretly: "Miss is really thoughtful. ”

Bai Muguan's hand holding the pen paused, raised his head and said, "Xiangyun, you go to Uncle Xu's place to stay, and you are not allowed to run around until the crisis is resolved." ”

She has long regarded Xiangyun as a sister, and it may be difficult to die well in today's danger, and the relatively safe place is by Xu Wuren's side. She can only plan so much for Xiangyun.

"No, the slave doesn't leave Miss half a step! At the beginning, the slave maid personally promised his wife that she would take good care of the young lady. Xiangyun grabbed her forearm, tears in her eyes, and rejected the kindness.

Bai Muguan hesitated slightly, but finally couldn't hold his head.
