The guards didn't wait for the ninth princess, and silently cleaned up the five corpses.

Gonggong Mei found a wheelchair and went back to the palace with the chief manager to heal his injuries, the two of them killed the Seventh Prince, both of them were seriously injured, especially the chief manager, it was a miracle that he could survive this injury, but the strength of the strong person, his life was really hard, to the level of the chief manager, even if he broke his limbs, he could still maintain his sobriety.

He originally wanted to accuse Gonggong Mei of a few words, you blind goods, you have been watching the Seventh Prince for two years, that's how you see it?

But when he said it, he still didn't say it, it was useless to say it, and then looked at Grandpa Mei's severed hand, I am afraid that he really didn't know.

The chief manager sighed softly, he has been reciting Buddhist scriptures for more than two years, and he can still act like this, what a big obsession His Highness has hidden in his heart.

Stick to the devil and give up to become a Buddha, in all fairness, these seven highnesses are really a generation of demons, but their lives are not good, it's a pity.

The hustle and bustle calmed down.

The blood stains in front of the palace gate were also cleaned.

Xia Ji looked at the sky, Xiao Su should come back, so he didn't leave, leaning against the cold palace gate and waiting.

Not long after, a bronze carriage appeared in the distance, and the carriage slowly ran over the snow and dust, crossed the long white bridge, and stopped in front of Xia Ji.

The wooden window opened, revealing Xia Xiaosu's face, she saw her brother in front of the palace gate, her face changed in fright, and she hurriedly shouted "stop", and then jumped out of the carriage with a long skirt, looked around nervously with a small face, and saw that there was no one around the palace, so she said softly: "Brother, you get into the carriage quickly, and I will take you back to the Zangjing Pavilion." ”

Xia Ji did not move.

Xia Xiaosu was in a hurry, she grabbed her brother's hand directly, and was about to pull him back into the car, but she didn't pull it, but was pulled back by Xia Ji.

Xia Ji took out the tiger talisman, power seal, and holy decree from his arms, "I am now guarding the imperial capital and being named the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses." ”

Xia Xiaosu had a question mark on his face, and took the holy decree suspiciously.

The decree is true, and what is written on it is clear.

Xia Ji said again: "The prince is dead, and the alien race is too fierce, so the Son of Heaven fled with the royal family." ”

The amount of information was too large, and Xia Xiaosu was stunned on the spot.

Xia Ji continued: "The ghost side still has more than two soldiers coming to the city. ”

Xia Xiaosu couldn't believe it: "The prince's 100,000 army can't be stopped?"

"They're all dead. ”

After saying these three words, Xia Ji seized this opportunity to directly generalize, and said with a smile: "Some time ago, you praised the prince for going to the border full of gold armor to make that immortal deed, you say, are you poisonous milk?"

Xia Xiaosu looked at the tip of his shoe and quibbled: "I'm not!"

"Then the prince is obviously in a good situation, why did he die?"

"Oh, brother, don't talk about this..."Xia Xiaosu bit his lip, leaned over, and said softly, "Let's escape, don't do it this day, don't do it, flee to the south..."

Xia Ji said: "They went to the south. ”

Xia Xiaosu: "Then flee to the east, it's really not good, we fled overseas, and lived in seclusion until old age and death." ”

Xia Ji suddenly said: "My mother was killed by someone." ”

Xia Xiaosu was silent, her eyes suddenly red, "Who?"

"I don't know yet. Xia Ji said, "Tomorrow, I will send you to the east." ”

"What about you?"

"Xiao Su, my brother may be a little stronger than you think, and this city may not be undefensible. Xia Ji looked up at the flying snow in the sky, and said quietly, "My brother has too many things to do, so my brother can't go, and he doesn't want to go, so he will be a ground mouse with his head covered from now on." ”

Xia Xiaosu: "Does my brother want to be a hero to save this imperial city?"

Xia Ji smiled: "No." ”

Xia Xiaosu said curiously: "That's..."

Xia Ji touched his sister-in-law's soft long hair, and said softly: "Brother just thinks that it is those aliens who should run away." Okay, tomorrow morning, my brother will arrange to send you out of the imperial city and go to the city in the east. ”

Xia Xiaosu suddenly said, "No!"

This time it was Xia Ji's turn to be stunned.

Xia Xiaosu smiled: "I just think that since those aliens will run away, why should I leave?"

Xia Ji also laughed.

My sister didn't even see what she had just done, so she trusted herself, or rather than trust, it was life and death.

You go, I'll go.

You stay, I stay.

You are born, I am born.

You die, I follow.

He didn't persuade again, and simply responded: "Then keep it and see how my brother retreats from the enemy." ”

Xia Xiaosu wanted to complain about "brag about you", but when the words came to his mouth, it became "I will stand on the city wall and watch with my own eyes how my brother defeats those aliens".

When the time comes, she will bring a cold dagger, and when her brother dies, she will also commit suicide immediately, so if she goes to Huangquan, she will not be lonely on the road, and she will be able to take her brother into an army at that time.

You see, let you brag and blow to death?!

My brother will be stunned on the spot and unable to refute it.

Thinking of his brother's embarrassing appearance, Xia Xiaosu couldn't help laughing.

...

Xia Ji held the holy decree of guarding the imperial city, and with the fact that he was the prince, he quickly took control of the palace.

Originally, there was still some dissatisfaction in my heart, but the matter of how the Seventh Prince crushed the chief manager had already been passed on by the three hundred guards, and those who were not convinced were all convinced.

The soldiers that Hu Fu can mobilize have long been in the imperial city, a total of 50,000 people, and the general headed by him is also a stubborn old general, named Deng Jue, Xia Ji sent guards overnight, stamped with the seal of "Generalissimo of the World's Soldiers and Horses", and asked the general to come to the palace to see.

Taking advantage of the free time in the middle, he came directly to the new pavilion of the royal scripture pavilion, although the Son of Heaven took away many books, but there are still a lot of remnants, this is a part.

Some other powerful people also have private library buildings in their homes, and these big magnates have also gone south with the royal family, but it is obvious that all the books cannot be moved, and this is another part.

As for the books of the various sects and factions in the imperial capital, in order not to cause turmoil, Xia Ji did not plan to move it for the time being.

He picks up the lamp and walks around the library attic, taking out and reading each book, turning the pages one by one, and reciting them to extract the skill beads.

For this temporary, perhaps only a few days of the palace master, the palace maids and eunuchs who lead the way, and the guards on duty are full of confusion, and the aliens are all coming to the city, what other books do you read?

But invisibly, Xia Ji's tranquility also affected them.

Staying late at night, the snow turned crazy, gradually pressing down on the calf, Xia Ji put down a book in his hand, and carefully experienced the extra green skill bead in his mind, most of these exercises are some skill-based exercises, the name is really not worth mentioning, after a little thought, he grabbed the book on the other side, and at this moment, the screaming news of the eunuch outside the door came from afar.

"General Deng Jue has arrived. ”

The sound comes from far and near.

Before long, the door to the library was opened.

Xia Ji's fingers pressed back the book he was about to pull out, turned around, and looked at the old general who had just opened the door with a calm expression.

The general was still in armor, apparently not returning home, and his eyes were like falcons looking at the young man in the room.

If he hadn't been mistaken, the Seventh Prince was only seventeen, right?

Xia Ji raised the tiger talisman and raised his voice: "General Deng, please inside." The situation is urgent, and His Highness will not invite you to tea. ”

Deng Jue said in a deep voice: "What kind of tea do people with their heads hanging on their waists want to drink?"

He walked into the library, closed the door with his backhand, and scanned the books in the library, which were miscellaneous and everything.

Before the Great War, start reading books?

What is this prince going to do?

When Xia Ji saw him come in, he didn't say much to greet, and said directly: "The alien race has broken the Wolf Pass, killed the prince and his 100,000 army, and now he is going straight to the imperial city, and he will arrive in three days, what does the general think?"

Deng Jue glanced at the prince with fine skin and tender flesh, and he probably guessed in his heart that this was a substitute ghost left by the royal family, but this prince is known as a Buddha, and he is so indifferent at this time, and there is no sign of being prepared to flee in a panic, which can't help but make him look at the past, and then smile: "Do the seven princes want to listen to the truth or lie?"

"How's the lie?"

"Everything is from the prince. ”

"How's the truth?"

"The ministers are dead to defend the imperial capital, the ministers are not dead, and the emperor is not broken. ”

"How are you going to keep it?"

Deng Jue was a little surprised, but he still said his plan as it was, Xia Ji also had some skill beads in the art of war in his mind, although he did not digest these art of war, but he himself had the insight before the crossing, so he could also ask a few words at the possible flaw of Deng Jue's plan, "If the enemy is like this, what should you do", his thinking is wild, and although Deng Jue is an old general, there are also some authorities who are confused, the two talked at night, and discussed for two hours before stopping, which can be regarded as completing the defense plan.

After the old general finished talking, he was still a little unsatisfied, usually he was so nagging, even his subordinates were forced to doze off to listen, but he didn't expect this prince to be able to integrate into his own rhythm.

Xia Ji said: "General Deng, go down." ”

"Yes. ”

"By the way, His Royal Highness wants you to defend the imperial city, and if the imperial city is broken, you will die here. During the period, although the tiger talisman is in the hands of His Royal Highness, His Highness will not interfere with your use of troops, and everything is cheap, so there is no need to ask me specifically. ”

Deng Jue said: "Rest assured, the seventh prince, the old man would rather die in the imperial city than run away, let alone pollute the bones of this life, but... The old man has one more thing to ask for. ”

"What?"

Deng Jue took a deep breath and said loudly: "The old man wants to ask the Seventh Prince to stay until the last moment, if he feels that the old man can't hold on, the prince will leave the imperial capital from the east gate." Now the prince is morale, if the prince leaves, then the morale of the soldiers will plummet!"

Xia Ji asked rhetorically, "Why should I leave?"

Deng Jue was stunned: "You're not leaving?"

"No", Xia Ji shook his head and said calmly: "Do you still have any questions?"

Deng Jue was stunned, this was completely different from what he thought, until the young prince turned around to read the book again, he suddenly came to his senses, looked at his silhouette with a complicated expression, bowed slightly, and softly changed the wording: "Marshal, that... The old man retired. ”
