The anger on Cang Rin's face disappeared when he heard this, and was replaced by a ruthless calm.

"If there is, the moment he is exposed, it will be his death."

……

King Jiang's army had been stationed outside Beijing for a whole day, and had been clamoring for a day, but it had never intended to attack the city.

As for the people in the capital, they never thought that they would be as powerful as the Great Zhou, and there would be a day when the city would be besieged by a large army.

At this time, the whole city in the capital was under martial law and was ready for battle.

The people closed their doors, and there was hardly any shadow of the people on the streets outside, all of them were black-armored guards and city guards who stayed in the capital.

Zhang Xiang sat in the rear to preside over the overall situation, and Dong Guozhu guarded the city wall to deploy the army, but there was no accident for the time being.

It's just that the current calm and stability are temporary, and while Dong Guozhu was guarding the city gate, a man in civilian clothes entered Zhang Xiang's mansion with a token.

With that token, the man came all the way to Zhang Xiang's study where he was dealing with official business.

The moment the man entered the study, the courtiers who were originally discussing in the study were all temporarily invited out by Zhang Xiang, and the courtiers looked at the unfamiliar face, and couldn't imagine whose news would make Zhang Xiang so solemn, could it be a letter from King Jiang outside the city?

The reason why I didn't guess Cang Rin was because whoever sent a message to Cang Rin must be a black armor guard, and he would definitely not cover it up like the man just now.

But it is not realistic for King Jiang to send a letter to Zhang Xiang, the entire imperial city is tightly guarded, not to mention a mouse, even a bird does not want to fly in, let alone a living person.

After the man entered, Zhang Xiang's housekeeper closed the door of the study, and by the way, invited the adults who had many doubts outside the door to the flower hall to drink tea.

In the study, the man handed the letter in his hand to Zhang Xiang and said, "Xiangye, this is a secret letter from my master to you." ”

The man's voice was shrill and his movements were soft, obviously an attendant.

In the Great Zhou, only the vassal kings in various places and the majesty in the palace had internal servants to serve.

Zhang Xiang didn't say a word, he directly took the secret letter and opened it, and after reading it, he put the letter paper on the candlestick next to him with a gloomy face, and burned it until it was to ashes before letting go.

"I see."

"Please hurry up, it's not good for anyone to wait too long."

"Father-in-law walks slowly." Zhang Xiang said directly.

The father-in-law glanced at Zhang Xiang and turned away with disdain.

But just as he was about to step out of this study, he was suddenly wiped on his neck, blood splattered on the door, and he fell.

Zhang Xiang looked at this sudden scene, and was so frightened that he took a step back and held on to the bookshelf behind him, but accidentally broke the vase.

And the man who killed the father-in-law walked in with the sound of the vase shattering.

"Zhang Xiang, betraying Your Majesty has only one end."

……

The courtiers had not been drinking tea in the flower hall for half an hour when they heard a scream from the study, followed by screams one after another.

It seems to be shouting that Xiangye is dead! The lord is dead!

When the courtiers heard this, they ran out of the flower hall one after another, how could they die, obviously Xiangye was still fine when they came out just now!

As a result, as soon as they ran to the door of Xiangye's study, they saw a row of black-armored guards standing at the door of the study, and the person standing at the front was Chang'an, who had been waiting by His Majesty's side.

Chang'an saw the courtiers running over in a panic, and while inserting the blood-stained knife back into the scabbard, he greeted with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are well." ”

"Eunuch, how dare you, this is Xiangye!" Among them, Xiangye's student said angrily.

Chang'an was not angry, he smiled and said, "Not anymore." Zhang Xiang colluded with King Jiang to open the city gate, and now he has been ambushed, and then Zhang Xiang's matter will be ......"

Chang'an's gaze kept wandering between the adults, and then he said to a young man standing at the end: "Lord Lusheng! ”

Lu Sheng, as Cang Rin's henchman, stepped forward and said to Chang'an: "Father-in-law of Chang'an." ”

"From today onwards, all matters to be dealt with by Zhang Xiang will be temporarily handed over to the adults until His Majesty returns to Beijing."

The other courtiers complained in their hearts when they heard this, after all, Lu Sheng was just a four-grade Dali Temple official, and there were many people with a higher official position than Lu Sheng.

But with Chang'an killing Zhang Xiang in front, no one dared to raise objections.

Should it be said that it is worthy of the people around His Majesty, His Majesty is violent and murderous, and even the servants who serve around him kill people without blinking.

"Oh, obey the Holy Commandment." Lu Sheng said respectfully.

After Lu Sheng finished speaking, Chang'an looked up at the adults on the opposite side and said, "In the days of Your Majesty's Northern Expedition, I hope that you will be cautious in your words and deeds. Although Your Majesty is gone, it does not mean that Your Majesty's eyes and ears are also gone, if your lordships have a tendency to defect to the enemy, Chang'an is here to assure you that the first thing that is not there is definitely your head. ”

The courtiers were shocked, and there were bursts of fear in their hearts, they had scolded Your Majesty behind their backs because of things such as heavy acres of land, is it that Your Majesty has always been clear in his heart about these things, but he never said it.

"Let him pass the past, at this critical moment, I hope that you can fight the same enemy with the Black Armor Guard." Chang An said with a smile on his face.

"Yes."

Chang'an did not hide the death of Zhang Xiang, so at night all the wealthy families in the capital knew that Zhang Xiang was killed, and His Majesty had been monitoring the news of the powerful people in Beijing, and everyone was in danger for a while.

Plum Lane.

Jin Yu stood under the porch, looked at the snowflakes floating outside, and sighed.

"Master, what's wrong?"

Ruo'er took the cloak in Changning's hand and put it on Jin Yu.

"It's nothing, it's just snowing again."

"Master, go back, if this north wind blows and gets a wind chill, it will really be the sin of the minions." Changning said on the side.

Jin Yu nodded, turned around and went back to the warm main house.

The courtyard of this Plum Blossom Lane was tightly surrounded by the black armor guards, which not only protected her, but also trapped her so that she couldn't go anywhere.

Fortunately, the plan went well.

She knew that Cang Rin would not leave the capital without any preparation, it turned out that these attendants around him had special skills, and she was negligent.

The next morning, a thick layer of snow was spread on the ground outside.

When Zhang Zhang ran into the hall from the courtyard, he was cold, and was glared at by Ruo'er, but he still rushed to the inner room regardless of it.

"Master!"

"Slow down, what do you look like in a panic!" Changning looked at the reckless Zhang Zhang and reprimanded.

The jade master is too charitable, so these little girls around him have no rules, and they are very casual and bold.

Zhang Zhang gasped and said, "Outside, outside......"

"What's going on out there?"

Jin Yu took the cat teasing stick made by Changning and teased the cat on the ground unhurriedly, and asked casually.

"Outside at the city gate, there is a fight!"
