Night fell, and the imperial capital was covered with a dim veil. The temporary riots caused by the attack of the revolutionary army during the day seem to have subsided as the sun set. After the tentative attack of the vanguard of the revolutionary army outside the city was easily repelled by the imperial garrison, they retreated to camp outside the attack range of the imperial capital, but on the city wall, it can be seen that a steady stream of follow-up troops are coming from all directions, and in the evening, not only the south gate, but also several other gates of the imperial capital are closed because of the revolutionary army. In just one day, the revolutionary army completed the complete encirclement of the imperial capital

For a large city like the Imperial Capital, a complete blockade of material exchange with the outside world would be an absolute disaster. Without food supplies from outside villages and farms, the daily material consumption of hundreds of thousands of people in the imperial capital is not a small number. Before the lack of heavy siege equipment, the least costly siege was to cut off the city from food through siege, and sooner or later starvation would lead some people to open the city gates. Or, let the spies who have been arranged in advance open the gates. The purpose of Chelsea's early entry was the latter

In a streetside tavern in Xiacheng District, Qiuchen sat alone by the window, with his hands on the table and his head down. A cloudy glass of ale lay in front of him, but he had no intention of taking a sip of it right now. To be precise, if there was a trash can nearby, Qiuchen would have already poured out the wine, which can become a source of air pollution when left outside

Obviously, the price was half higher than a few days ago, but after smelling it, Qiu Chen could be sure that the tavern owner definitely did not mix water into the wine, nor did he mix wine into the water, and it was definitely pure puree. If you can ignore that this is a glass of wine, I don't know how many months it has been rotting, the boss will definitely be able to call it a conscience discovery. Looking at the debris floating in the drinks, it seems that rats have visited the storage room of this tavern

Just after half a day of siege, prices began to soar. Qiu Chen understands the panic of citizens who want to hoard daily necessities, but many small businessmen will choose to make a lot of money at this time with shoddy goods. Without the funds for big businessmen to stock up, they can only make money in this way

"Alas~" sighed, and Qiuchen pushed the wine glass aside. Chewie and the Night Raid went to the Night Bookstore to talk secretly, because Chelsea did not trust Qiuchen in various ways, so he did not take the initiative to make it difficult for Brand in the past, after all, he did not join the Night Raid, and it was better not to inquire about the details of major events such as opening the city gate at night. However, Brand and his party had already missed the opportunity to assassinate the minister, and they couldn't get out of the imperial capital when the gates were closed, so he told Qiuchen to go to the Night Bookstore if he needed to find them, where they would wait for time

The members of the hunters all maintained law and order in the city, but because of the revolutionary army, the hearts of the people in the city were fluctuating, and the imperial capital garrison was overstretched. Not only did they have to deal with thieves and robbers who wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but they also had to deal with unscrupulous merchants who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to hoard goods and raise prices during the siege of the imperial capital, and the latter was more troublesome and harmful than the former

Fortunately, both parties seemed to have forgotten that there was such a thing as Qiu Chen, not only them, but also the Heroic Spirits who entered the present world seemed to have no time to care about it because they were fully engaged in the battle to contain the reincarnation, if it weren't for Edward from time to time to pass on the news of the search for Najeta to him, Qiu Chen really doubted that these Heroic Spirits had also forgotten about themselves.

However, it is rare for Qiuchen to find a time to come out openly, which can be regarded as a benefit

Akarin's victory?

After a while, Qiuchen saw a figure outside the window that was out of place with the outside world. Compared with the coarse linen clothes of the people around him, the delicate clothes made of silk made this young man look a little outstanding, and the people around him also obviously noticed the difference between the young man, some people kept turning their heads to look at him, there were doubtful eyes, but there were many people with bad intentions, at this time, Xiacheng was not a place where the rich young master should come

Seeing this, Qiu Chen directly pushed the door and walked out of the tavern to greet him. He was not surprised that this boy would be here, because he had found it, but it was not his expectation that only one person would appear. The people around him would only regard this young man as an ignorant rich young master or a noble son, but no one would have thought that he was the emperor of the empire

"Oh my God, you actually came out alone" Qiu Chen walked up to the little emperor and stopped him. The other party did not wear the clothes of the palace, but the temperament on his body is estimated to be difficult to cover up in linen clothes, let alone the silk on his whole body, "General Bude is so relieved of you?" I thought he was going to stop you, but this is the Lower Town, my majesty, not the garden in the palace, and I thought you would bring two guards out."

"General Bud and General Estes are both patrolling the city walls, and the ministers are not in the palace, they don't know that I have come out" After seeing Qiuchen, the little emperor breathed a sigh of relief, and the eyes around him obviously gave him a lot of pressure, but the royal cultivation made him hide it very well, "This is my city, what reason do I have to be afraid of traveling"

"The minister hasn't appeared in the palace yet......" The little emperor's words alerted Qiuchen for a moment, it stands to reason that to control the emperor, Earnest must not leave the emperor's side for too long, but now that a day has passed, something abnormal must be a demon, unless Earnest thinks that controlling the little emperor is of little value to him

"The minister must be worried about the rebels," the little emperor clenched his fist with one hand, "When the generals and ministers are doing their duty for the empire, how can I stay in the palace and wait for their news with peace of mind." I thought about it alone in the palace today, you are right, if I can go outside the palace and show the people my hard work, they will not be instigated by the revolutionary rumors, the rebellion will be crushed, and the country will be freed from the shock and anxiety, I am right."

…… No, I guess it might backfire

Looking at the little emperor who felt good about himself, the corners of Qiu Chen's mouth twitched, "If Your Majesty really wants to know what kind of evil words the rebels are using to incite the people, I know a few people who can introduce them to Your Majesty...... But until then, you'd better stop calling yourself me, and put on this cloak, this silk garment is too dazzling."

"Is there something wrong with this outfit?" The little emperor stretched out his arms to look at his clothes, and asked suspiciously, "I ...... I wear this dress all the time in the palace."

"It's a big problem...... Qiuchen looked away and said curtly, "I don't want to stop some people who might get emotional......

"Do it?" The little emperor was confused: "You want to take me...... Come with me to the city walls? That's right, if I appear on the city walls, it will definitely boost the morale of the soldiers, let's go."

"No, no, no, I'm not going to the city wall" Qiuchen hurriedly stopped the little emperor. If Bud finds out that he has abducted the little emperor out of the palace without permission while he is away, no matter how much he supports Qiuchen, this alone can break his bottom line, "I'm going to take you to a bookstore"

"A bookstore?"

"That's right, bookstore" Qiuchen chatted with the little emperor as he walked, "I think if Your Majesty can have a good talk with the people there, he will definitely benefit a lot"

(Thanks to the dogs in the wolf pack, the king of God and God for the reward.) A step late failed to catch before 12 o'clock, alas)
