In the northwest, the moon above Jincheng is lonely and desolate, but thousands of miles away in Chongdu, the moonlight and snow shadow sweep in the window, and it is delicate and clean.

The winter is cold, and there are few pedestrians on the streets, but those places for pleasure are high windows and red candles, and the elegant benefactors are naturally red clay ovens, green ant wine, and chatting with the famous prostitutes opposite; Those who don't mean to be here will naturally hug left and right, full of warm fragrance.

The new official department has just been transferred from the local government, everything in Chongdu City is full of temptation for him, just take off all his clothes, before he can see enough of the delicate body of the beautiful woman in his arms, a black-clothed killer opened the window and entered, two screams did not come out under the cover of the sound of silk and bamboo downstairs, but blood has been splashed all over the screen.

Hele Building is the largest restaurant in Chongdu City, and in the private room on the top floor, two long-haired officials sit and talk here, these two people are Xi Yuanshan's brothers-in-law Xi Qingyang and Xi Huifeng.

Now, both of them have some angry looks on their faces.

"Our eldest brother's door...... But it's going to be on the rise. Xi Qingyang had jealousy in his eyes, and the hand that played with the jade pendant was also withdrawn, and then clenched.

"It's not," Xi Huifeng took a sullen sip of wine, and the jealousy in his lowered eyes was even hotter, "Yasukuni Gongyi is his powerful help, and He Fangping is his son and daughter-in-law." Xi Luan will go to the northwest again this time, and it will not be a problem to come back and seal the Duke of Huan Guo. ”

Xi Qingyang snorted coldly: "Xi Yan also followed, who knows if there will be more Huan Guohou, or a sound Huan Guohou!" ”

"These two side lines, don't want to touch the position of the head of the family in our lifetime......"

The wine was getting stronger, perhaps because of the numbness of the senses, so that they didn't notice it, and the maid who had just come in to warm the wine had already replaced their wine cups with two other bottles.

A moment later, they were all down.

In Dali Temple, a group of people quietly sneaked into the Dali Temple Prison in the night. It was winter, and the jailer was bored and napping. But at this moment, a dark arrow killed him from a distance.

The armament supervisor, the molten steel ladle slowly poured red molten iron into the craftsman's furnace from above, and in the distance, a lit arrow passed through the window with firelight. In just an instant, the ground was full of fire, and the ordnance supervisor immediately turned into a sea of fire.

Chongdu City, which was originally dormant, suddenly rioted, and there were government offices in many directions in the city that were set on fire by unknown people. For a time, the fire in Chongdu City was like a white night.

The emperor was awakened from his sleep, and listened to the bad news one by one:

The Dali Temple Prison was robbed, the prison of the Criminal Department was robbed, and all the prisoners escaped;

The Criminal Department, the Jingzhao Yin Mansion Yamen, the Military Department, and the Hubu Yamen were set on fire one after another;

The official department was killed, the clansmen of the major families were killed, and the post house was destroyed;

The south gate of Chongdu was attacked by fugitives, and all the foreign envoys of Honglu Temple were killed......

At this moment, the heads of the major families were also frightened, they were all talking and laughing, and they were all people who made the tree go up in smoke, but when these bloody and tyrannical scenes really appeared in their eyes, everyone was shocked from the bottom of their hearts.

Xi Yuanshan stood on the corner tower of Xi Mansion with his hands, looking at the soldiers who were busy guarding Xi Mansion at his feet, the thieves had already broken in, but Xi Yuanshan was extremely calm in his heart, he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, and felt that he didn't need to worry about anything anymore in this life.

Finally, the first light finally came through the sky.

It was the time of the early dynasty again, and the ministers outside the Taiji Hall had arrived, and even the Yasukuni Gong, who had not been to the court for many years, appeared in the court, but Xi Yuanshan, who was an important minister in the court and the head of the Xi family and the prince and teacher, had not yet arrived.

Outside the palace, the riots continued, and black smoke could be seen rising from inside the palace, and Chongdu City had never been so devastated.

In the Taiji Palace, the emperor of the Ninety-Five Emperor still sits on the top, and the night's sleepless makes him look much older.

Situ He took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the King of Liao and the hussar general led the 100,000 troops of Yulinwei to the northwest, and the military strength of Chongdu is empty, and I am afraid that there will be another attack. ”

"Your Majesty!" Qi Zejun arched his hand, "Only last night and one night, the six yamen, the yamen of all temples and other temples were attacked, and the ministers and clan relatives were all killed and injured. If Yu Linwei is not transferred back to Chongdu, the thieves will take the opportunity to make trouble again! ”

The emperor let out a long sigh, "If you are transferred back to Yulinwei, I am afraid that it will not be conducive to the war in the northwest, and I will not be able to bear the trust of Huan Guohou." ”

For a while, the entire Taiji Hall was silent, and it turned out to be ...... The emperor still trusts Huan Guohou, and those who have a hostile attitude towards the Xi family are a little gloomy towards people, and they wanted to take advantage of the defeat to suppress it, but now it seems that ...... It seems that it can't be done.

Just when everyone was silent, there was a shout from outside the hall.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The minister has this music! Xu Bin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, staggered forward from outside the hall, and his court clothes were already a little untidy, and there were traces of smoke on his face.

"Xu Bin! What do you have to say? The emperor looked at him very dissatisfied, in the emperor's mind, as a member of the court, he must have the ability to collapse Mount Tai and not change.

But the emperor didn't know, Xu Bin had not closed his eyes all night, after the riot broke out last night, he personally sat in the yamen of the criminal department, and led people everywhere to catch thieves, luckily caught a thief who had time to commit suicide by taking poison in the future, he interrogated overnight, and at this time, he finally caught up with the time to make a speech to the emperor.

"Your Majesty!" Xu Bin bowed down in front of the emperor, "It's Huan Guohou, Huan Guohou is going to rebel!" ”

"What did you say!" Not only the emperor, but also the ministers heard this, and they all looked sideways, and some of the old ministers who had poor bearing ability were already paralyzed to the ground.

"The minister caught the thief who was in trouble last night and interrogated him repeatedly...... This is the arrangement of Huan Guohou, Huan Guohou wants to rebel, and the Xi family wants to rebel! ”

"Xi Luan......!" The emperor only felt that he couldn't take it in one breath in his chest, Xi Luan and Xi Yan held hundreds of thousands of troops outside Xiajin Pass, and Xi Yuanshan's whereabouts were unknown, and there was already enough evidence to prove that what Xu Bin said was true.

Seeing that the emperor was stunned, the newly appointed military department Shangshu pondered and said: "Your Majesty, Huan Guohou is in turmoil in Chongdu, the next step is ...... I'm afraid it's going to be a rebellion......"

"Xi Luan!" The emperor was immediately angry and angry, and roared heartbreakingly, "The palace avant-garde! Hurry up and take Xi Yuanshan to the front of the palace! ”

All the ministers in the palace are frightened, and when the Son of Heaven is angry, he will inevitably bleed thousands of miles.

"Quickly inform He Fangping and the King of Liao, it is bound to exterminate the rebels outside Xiajin Pass!"

Among the ministers, Qi An suddenly stood up, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to go to Huai'an Mansion to lead the soldiers of Huai'an Mansion and jointly exterminate the thieves!" ”

"Qi An! Mingtang is in the discussion, and it is your turn to interject! Qi Zejun saw his son suddenly come out to speak, and couldn't help but shout.

The emperor sneered and looked at Qi An with distrust, "You? How sure are you that you will be able to get rid of the thieves? ”

Qi An said confidently: "The minister has 10,000 soldiers and guards, and Huai'an Mansion has always been the jurisdiction of the Qi family, so the minister is sure that he can lead the local army and cooperate with Yulin Wei to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop." ”

"Then you go! If you can't, you don't have to come back! ”

"Obey the order!"

"Your Majesty! After this turmoil, the city of Chongdu was already ruined, and the ministers asked the clan and ministers to temporarily move to Fangling. Situ He thought for a long time and advised, "If you continue to stay in Chongdu, I am afraid that it will be chaotic again." ”

Chongdu City, which was originally safe and orderly, was now in a state of decay.

An Ruofei was frightened, and the night of turmoil had already made her rumored and full of soldiers. Fortunately, the sky finally brightened, and the movement outside gradually subsided, and An Ruofei also relaxed a little.

The door was suddenly opened, it was Meng Qingye, he was disheveled, and he rushed in with sweat.

"If you fly, go quickly!"

"Qingye!" Seeing that it was Meng Qingye, An Ruofei's tears suddenly filled his eyes.

A night of turmoil, and she was the only one alone in Ye Garden, listening to the footsteps of those riots coming from the door again and again, An Ruofei didn't dare to think about how she spent this night, Meng Qingye came at this time, her voice was already crying, "What happened?" Why is it so messy? ”

Meng Qingye was in a hurry, so he pulled An Ruofei out of the door without saying anything, took out a gauze scarf for her to cover her face, and after hurriedly cleaning up, Meng Qingye hurriedly untied the horse rope.

Two horses had already been prepared outside the door, one for each of them, and galloped out of the city. All the clans and courtiers of Da Zhao went back to their homes to inform their families, pack up their soft and soft clothes, and prepare to temporarily move to the capital with the emperor Fangling, but under the blockage of the city gate, no one found that behind the little grandfather of Jingguo was the remnants of the Xie family who they had been searching for months.

Along the way, Meng Qingye was sullen and unhappy, and he was not as noisy as in the past. It wasn't until An Ruofei kept asking questions, and swore that he would ignore him again, that Meng Qingye was willing to tell the truth.

"Ruofei, I don't believe he will rebel. I don't know who he is? Someone must be trying to frame him, don't worry, we'll go to him. ”

Meng Qingye didn't fail to see the incidents and pieces that happened in Chongdu last night, but he just believed that Xi Yan would not rebel.

"I don't believe it either," An Ruofei is also willing to break his heart, how could a person like Xi Yan rebel? But looking at Meng Qingye's appearance, she still asked, "Qingye, you left Yasukuni Gong and ran out, so what should they do?" ”

Meng Qingye still looked casual, "My father is gone, I still have two brothers by my side, and they are going to Fangling, and there must be heavy guards along the way." But you're only one person, and if something goes wrong, my nephew will definitely rub my skin and bones. ”

Hearing this, An Ruofei couldn't help but sigh, and his heart was also very warm, it turned out that in this world, there were at least two people who remembered themselves.

"So where are we going?"

"I don't know," Meng Qingye shook his head, and his tone was a little stunned, "It seems that I can only go all the way and inquire all the way, and then decide where to go in the end." The northwest is in chaos, and it is definitely impossible to go, so you can only go south first. I came out in a hurry, and I only brought a few hundred taels of silver tickets, and I didn't know if I could redeem the silver, so we had to be frugal along the way. ”

An Ruofei nodded quietly, he hadn't gone out for many days, and he didn't expect this situation to change so quickly.

The last time I went out of Chongdu, it was still the time of spring hunting, but it was the middle of winter, and outside Chongdu, there was no longer a lush color.
