Yuan Hongdao struggled to wake up, a sharp pain in the back of his head, he didn't know what environment he was in, and his perennial career lurking in hostile forces made him accustomed to silence all the time.

Like Wang Qinian, this official of the Supervision Yuan actually has countless doubts in his heart. Half a year ago, His Majesty made the first move against Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, although Yuan Hongdao didn't know the reason, but the reason why the Supervision Yuan was able to sweep away the power of the eldest princess in half an hour was to rely on this so-called Xinyang No. 1 strategist.

What has puzzled Yuan Hongdao for the past half a year is that after that action, he should have left his career in Infernal Affairs, and according to the rules of the academy, he chose a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to retire honorably, but after escaping from the other courtyard, in that small courtyard, Yan Ruohai asked him to return to Xinyang.

Back to Xinyang!

The eldest princess's Xinyang strategist escaped the pursuit of the Supervision Yuan, and it stands to reason that she should return to Xinyang. However, Yuan Hongdao smelled something else from this instruction of the Supervision Yuan.

If after that night's thunderstorm, the eldest princess is doomed to collapse and be secluded forever, then what is Dean Chen still calling himself to return to Xinyang?

Court...... What are you thinking? What are you going to do when you go back to Xinyang? Yuan Hongdao had been thinking about this for a few months, and when the eldest princess easily passed on her plan to Xinyang through the guards of the other courtyard, and gradually transferred Xinyang's team to Kyoto, he finally understood something.

The Supervision Yuan knew from the very beginning of the operation that it was impossible for the eldest princess to be completely defeated, or rather, His Majesty was not prepared to let the eldest princess never have the power to turn over from the beginning, so he would let this nail still return to Xinyang, waiting for the call of the eldest princess, waiting for that moment to come.

Well, His Majesty Xià went to Dadong Mountain, he was assassinated, there was chaos in Kyoto, the crown prince was about to ascend the throne, and the eldest princess contacted the military to prepare for a rebellion...... Even if the eldest princess didn't let Yuan Hongdao know about the situation of Dadong Mountain when she was planning the situation of Dadong Mountain, but later these things, Yuan Hongdao was personally involved, and he already knew the news as early as the beginning of the eldest princess's strategy.

It seems that he should give full play to the ability of the first spy of Qingguo, but at this time, Yuan Hongdao was shocked to find that he was unable to pass on the information and could not notify the Supervision Yuan!

All channels failed in an instant, the bridge of single-line contact was unfathomably broken, and Yuan Hongdao could not contact Yan Ruohai, let alone Chen Pingping. And a spy of his level is even more unlikely to rush directly to the Supervision Yuan to shout.

So his face was calm, but his heart was terrified, he didn't know what was going on in the Supervision Yuan, and this uneasy state was maintained until Fan Xian finally burst into the palace and began to sweep away the opposition forces in Kyoto with his force.

Yuan Hongdao secretly cooperated with the actions of the Supervision Yuan and let the royal palace where the eldest princess temporarily lived be captured, but he knew that Fan Xian had made a fatal mistake, so at the last moment, he took the risk of shouting out to the Supervision Yuan official.

He doesn't trust anyone, but if he compares it, since he can't contact Chen Pingping and Yan Ruohai, in the entire imperial court, the only person he trusts the most is Chen Pingping's successor, that Xiao Fan.

It's a pity that he didn't know what kind of stunned young man Mu Feng'er was, so he was knocked down with a punch.

............ Yuan Hongdao lowered his breath, opened his eyes, and found himself in the corner tower above the imperial city, and in front of him, a handsome young man was looking at him with a worried face, he knew the identity of this person, although he didn't know why the other party would interrogate himself in person at such a tense moment, but he said directly:

"Zhang Fang is the eldest princess's person. ”

Fan Xian nodded, and didn't say anything, Zhang Fangzi, the commander of the Thirteen City Gate Divisions, was the most morally clear and loyal figure in the world, and he turned out to be the eldest princess, this fact was enough to shock everyone, but he couldn't add too much sadness to his already helpless mood.

Yan Bingyun didn't come back, and the official in charge of watching the wind in the courtyard didn't come back, so there must be something wrong with the City Gate Division.

It's a pity that this person named Yuan Hongdao woke up too late.

Fan Xian sighed in his heart, it was almost dawn, the Kyoto City Gate Division was lost, and the army of Ye Qin's two families did not know when to enter the city, at this critical juncture, he should not have thought of this person named Yuan Hongdao, but he just looked at the ministers who were resting in the Taiji Palace, and he was full of helplessness, and suddenly thought of what his father-in-law had said to him when he was in Wuzhou.

A generation of Jiān Xiang Lin Ruofu, the third person who was jealous in the court in this life, except for Chen Pingping and Fan Jian, was the old man Qin who led the army, and this power relative to Fan Xian said seriously that his protégé hole card in the court would not be given to Fan Xian, so as not to show Mu Xiu in the forest and be blown down by the wind.

Unless...... When the new emperor ascended the throne.

Now that Emperor Qing has been mourned, Fan Xian is in Kyoto to help the three elders grab the throne, so those Lin faction ministers in Kyoto tore off their disguises, stood behind Fan Xian, and followed Hu Shu and the two scholars to prevent the prince from ascending the throne.

Fan Xian thought in his heart, his father-in-law was smart, and the timing was really accurate, but he didn't know if it would succeed this time.

However, Lin Xiang's last sentence has always made Fan Xian remember it very clearly.

"If there is really chaos in Jingzhong after rì, maybe Yuan Hongdao can help you. ”

Lin Ruofu calculated the matter of Dadongshan as early as a year ago, and Fan Xian admired his father-in-law's vision to the ground, so he didn't forget this trick he supported. When he fell into a crisis from which he could not be extricated, he immediately thought of the first strategist of Xinyang under the eldest princess.

Sure enough, there was no mistake, this Mr. Yuan turned out to be a nail inserted by the Supervision Yuan in Xinyang! This fact shocked Fan Xian, and he immediately became distressed - if he had known about the problem of the City Gate Division earlier, why would he and the eldest prince be so passive, after all, it would be too late, after all, it was still a matter of fate, and his good luck did not know how long he could last.

Yuan Hongdao stared at Fan Xian's eyes and said, "Why can't I contact the courtyard?" Although these words are plain, they are not full of anger inside, without Mr. Yuan's freedom and ease, he has precious information about the eldest princess in his hands, but he can't provide it to the supervision court and the imperial court, and his loyalty to Qingguo and His Majesty makes this Mr. Yuan feel a little weird, and he becomes angry.

Fan Xian was silent and didn't know how to speak, if possible, he was willing to ask Chen Pingping personally at this time.

The morning breeze blew into the corner towers of the high imperial city, and the smell of last night's blood gradually faded, and the smell of burnt smoke in the houses of Kyoto could not smell anything, but the poor people still did not dare to go out, and closed the doors in horror, hiding in their beds, praying that the game of killing these big men would end soon.

Woowoowoo...... The horns above the imperial city were full of horns, and the sound was extremely powerful and powerful, and I don't know how far it could go.

Fan Xian stood beside Yuan Hongdao, his face was calm, and said: "The Kyoto garrison will not be able to enter Beijing until noon, and the two families of Qin Ye will have three more days, if we move quickly, we can still take back the nine city gates." ”

A trace of consternation flashed in Yuan Hongdao's eyes, and immediately ignited the flames of anger, and he said angrily: "Is there no one in the courtyard among the garrisons!"

Fan Xian was shocked, and Huo Ran turned to look at him.

Yuan Hongdao looked at him and said word by word: "The Qin family's army marched in overnight and left Kyoto...... I'm afraid it's not far away. ”

Fan Xian closed his lips tightly, and his face turned pale.

The reason why he knew the news of the rebellion of the City Gate Division, he did not panic, because he believed that he could feel the movements of the old Qin family clearly, as long as the army did not arrive, with the lethality of the forbidden army and the Supervision Yuan, which were more powerful, he still had time to regain control of the nine city gates.

The Qin family's army is about to arrive?

Yan Bingyun and his son are in the Qin family, how could it be that the news of the army's march has not even been transmitted!

............ Fan Xian walked to the side of the eldest prince and said, "Collect the troops and return to the palace, the Qin family's army is coming." ”

The eldest prince's brows were furrowed extremely tightly, the forbidden army brigade had just sailed out of the imperial city, but at this time it was about to be withdrawn, but it was because of a news that he could not believe. But he knew that what he cared about most at this time was the speed of reaction, and he didn't have time to discuss anything with Fan Xian, so he took a deep breath and let the pro-soldier beside him wave the small yellow flag in his hand.

As soon as the yellow flag flipped over, the horn sounded again above the imperial city, woo woo woo...... The rhythm gradually rose and tightened, and the forbidden army brigade, which was galloping out of the imperial city like a few dragons, suddenly heard the sound of the horn to return to the camp, and invariably contracted the team at the same time, and began to gallop back in the direction of the imperial palace. And the teams that have penetrated into the streets and alleys of the houses in the distance have also begun to move.

Fan Xian gestured to the subordinate beside him, and the subordinate nodded, took out the arrow from his sleeve, and sent it out, making a terrible cry in the air in front of the imperial city.

Immediately afterwards, the Privy Council, the headquarters of the Supervisory Yuan, the offices of all ministries, and the key street intersections all sounded the sound of arrows breaking through the air, in response.

When the arrow fell, nearly 2,000 secret agents of the Supervision Yuan in Kyoto heard the order and disappeared into the streets and alleys.

In a moment, there was no longer a figure to be seen on the streets of Kyoto, especially on the Tianhe Avenue that passed through the Privy Council of the Supervisory Yuan and led directly to the Imperial Palace, which was even more deserted and palpitating, with only a few leaves still green, blown by the autumn wind overnight, falling and rolling on the empty streets.

"No matter how the prince knew the news of the palace and escaped. Fan Xian stood beside the eldest prince and said, "But when the eldest princess left the palace, she was obviously prepared, and she had already guessed what we would do." ”

The eldest prince's brows were furrowed very tightly, and he condescendingly watched the movements of the entire Kyoto, analyzing in his heart which direction he should enter the capital and what he should do next.

"All our forces have been killed for the sake of the palace...... And she was commanding the army of the Ye Qin family, and Shi Shiran came in from the City Gate Division, which we can't control. Fan Xian said calmly: "She gave up the palace to us, and then fenced the palace to play...... Does this count as inviting you into the urn?"

"I wanted to bloom in my belly and burn fires on all sides, but I didn't expect that this fire did not burn her, but she tied me with a veil. ”

Fan Xian's palm gently patted the sturdy bluestone bricks of the imperial city, and said quietly: "We still underestimated this aunt after all. ”

The eldest princess knew what the advantages of Fan Xian and the Supervision Yuan were, so she was willing to withdraw and let Fan Xian burst into the palace, seemingly mastering a qiē.

However, now there are queen mothers in the palace, three princes, Yigui concubines, Ning Cairen, countless nobles, Hu Shu, two scholars, and countless ministers and subordinates who are loyal to Fan Xian.

These people are strength, but they are also burdens, if Fan Xian has a pair of wings, then these people that the eldest princess deliberately left in the palace are like hammers on Fan Xian's wings, so that he must not fly wantonly.

The army is besieging the city, and I am afraid that I can't contain a terrible nocturnal master like Fan Xian, but now you are shouldering the inheritance of Qingguo, the life and death of countless people in the palace, Fan Xian, how can you escape, can you bear to escape?

............ The eldest prince has been silent, occasionally issuing orders, and began to prepare for the defense of the imperial city, preparing all the equipment, and there is no extra leisure to chat with Fan Xian at such a moment, because he knows what kind of terrifying crisis he is about to face.

Fan Xian looked at Yiqiē in Kyoto, and seemed to see Li Yunrui's extremely beautiful face, looking at himself with a coquettish gaze, and said softly: "My good son-in-law, I have prepared a lot of things for you. ”

He spat in the palace of the imperial city, as if he was going to spit on the other party's face, but he had to admit that his mother-in-law was indeed much better than himself in these aspects. However, Fan Xian thought in his heart that if it weren't for those extremely strange reasons, he would not have been trapped in the imperial city at this time.

"How long can you keep it?" he asked the eldest prince.

The eldest prince's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The imperial city wall is high, if the two Ye Qin families raid overnight and do not carry large siege equipment, I can defend until the last moment." ”

As the commander of the Western Army, the eldest prince did not know how many bloody battles he had experienced in his life, so he did not panic in the face of the army forcing Beijing. It's just that the last moment in this sentence has already been explained.

"Since Li Yunrui has already made this strategy, the Ye Qin family will not be unprepared. Fan Xian lowered his head and said, "I only hope that you can support a few more people, and I can only rely on you to lead the army to fight." ”

"Until the messenger informs the garrisons and the governor of the six roads to come to help?" the eldest prince glanced at him and said unceremoniously: "Die this heart, those messengers can't still be alive." ”

Fan Xian sighed in his heart and thought, "It's not those people I'm waiting for. ”
