The weather is like a child's face that changes when it says it changes, and during the day it is still enjoying the sun shining on the clear sky, when suddenly the cold wind howls and whines.

"Ahem!"

"Drink slowly." Wang Xifeng beckoned.

Jia Lian glanced at her and drank the rest of the soup in one gulp, "Serve me another bowl." As he spoke, he handed the bowl over.

Ping'er held the bowl and turned around to Jia Lian, and put more than half a bowl of rock sugar lotus seed soup in the bowl.

Jia Lian picked up the spoon and drank it slowly.

Wang Xifeng's eyes were red again, and he pinched a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Jia Lian's mouth, "It's time for Ansheng this time!" ”

Jia Lian looked at her, then at Ping'er, and put the bowl down, "You don't have to ask, you can say that I said everything." It was not my idea to deploy troops to block and search for Meifu, and as for why I did this, I don't know very well, but I only know that this is what the third brother meant.

I guess I don't want the contents of the package to be seen by too many people, and the sage also specially instructed Mei Sheng that if this matter spreads, it will not be a matter of dismissal and dismissal, and at the lightest it will be a crime! ”

Wang Xifeng: "Put the bowl away." ”

Ping'er was stunned, hurriedly cleaned up the bowl, and then walked out.

Jia Lian looked at Ping'er's back, "Why are you bothering." ”

"Why, you're distressed!"

Wang Xifeng's body stepped forward, "I'm doing this for her good, I'm a tigress, she is generous, popular, and has prestige among her subordinates." But this can't change her identity after all, don't forget the rules of the family. ”

Jia Lian groaned, finally sighed, and continued: "My dismissal is only temporary, and when the rumor passes, the sage will issue an order to reinstate my official." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled again: "The sage also said that he would let me take over Zhang Jiacheng's position." ”

Wang Xifeng was stunned and asked in surprise: "Why?" ”

The smile on Jia Lian's face disappeared, and he let out a deep sigh, "The Rui Shi Battalion not only took the initiative to change guards with the forbidden army stationed in the imperial city, but also left them a thousand self-generated fire guns, you have never seen it, the power is amazing, such a big killing weapon is too strong a deterrent in the palace!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng subconsciously asked: "It's so powerful, isn't there a forbidden army?" ”

"What are you doing?"

Jia Lian smiled awkwardly, grabbed Wang Xifeng's two hands, looked at her quietly, and said with a smile: "I heard that the second grandmother almost flooded Rongqing Hall?" ”

"Which one chews my tongue with a rotten mouth?"

Wang Xifeng, who was sore all over, was very dissatisfied, pushed Jia Lian's hand away, and said angrily: "Since you became this broken official, you have either wiped your ass for the imperial court, or you have intrigued with others, and I have been worried about it every day, just like that, there are still people who ....." said and his eyes turned red again.

"Thought I wanted to!"

Jia Lian turned Wang Xifeng's body and asked, "What's the matter, who messed with the second grandmother again?" ”

"Before dusk, the palace sent a letter from Niangniang, and my good aunt made a fuss, didn't you see her rampant energy, if Niangniang gave birth to a prince, she would not be crazy to the sky?"

Speaking of this, she snorted coldly, "Today, she holds Niangniang's letter in her hand, the old lady is not easy to say, and after a while, she will have to bear it." ”

Jia Lian chuckled, he didn't take Mrs. Wang to heart at all, Yuan Chun was a smart person and knew which side his feet should be on.

Wang Xifeng suddenly turned his head sideways, covered his chest, and spit out a few mouthfuls of sour water.

Jia Lian: "Are you okay?" ”

Wang Xifeng rolled his eyes angrily, "It just so happens that my body is not very good, you can help me take care of the house." ”

"Let's talk about it first, don't push your aunt at me!"

"Hmph, Ben didn't expect anything from you!"

A smile appeared on Jia Lian's tired face.

From time to time, there were laughter and laughter in the room, which attracted the envy of Ping'er, who was sitting on the chair outside embroidering.

Suddenly, a cold wind came in from the thick door curtain, and a mother-in-law on duty in the outer courtyard came in and said, "Miss Ping, it's snowing!" ”

Ping'er was startled, hurriedly put down the needle and thread, and hurriedly walked out with her mother-in-law.

There was a light snow in the yard, and in the red light of a lantern, the white snowflakes were fluttering, and at this time, a mother-in-law hurriedly walked in outside, and reported: "Miss Ping, Zhou Rui's family wants to take the best silver frost charcoal." ”

"I see."

Ping'er nodded and ordered, "Let them prepare first, and I'll go over when I go back to the second grandmother." ”

................

The night was pitch and the wind was howling.

Yong'an Emperor Zhu Wucheng was quite unquiet in his heart, he slowly paced outside the hall, the cold wind blew his face like a knife, making his mind clear, he stared into the distance, half an hour ago, the confidant general Lin Lei sent him the news, Chongwen Gate Forbidden Army Barracks entered a group of fresh faces, he immediately understood that it was these people who killed Hou Xiaokang.

Like Jia Jue, Zhu Wucheng was not in a hurry to order someone to arrest the murderer, he also wanted to know, who was the real murderer behind the scenes?

At this time, the tip of Zhu Wucheng's nose was cold, he raised his head, and clusters of snowflakes rolled in the air, falling obliquely, and it was snowing!

The first winter snow in the forty-first year of God Bless came a little early!

"Your Majesty, it's snowing, go back!"

Dong Shan reminded in a whisper behind him.

Zhu Wucheng nodded, the sky was snowing, it was the night of murder!

As soon as he turned around, suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps faintly wafting in the wind, someone came, Zhu Wucheng followed the prestige, only to see that in the dark night wind and snow, he vaguely saw a celebrant eunuch and a few small yellow doors on the square of the Yangxin Palace were hurrying towards this side.

Dong Shan's eyes were sharp: "Your Majesty, you are the great eunuch on duty at the noon gate." ”

“.....”

Zhu Wucheng was stunned, he thought it was Meng Qian, but he didn't expect it to be the big eunuch on duty at the noon gate, what was he doing at this time?

"Old slave, see Your Majesty!"

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, news has come from the Fusi of Beizhen, the Ruishi Battalion has suddenly blocked Dongcheng, and even the official road leading to Dong'anmen has been blocked."

The big eunuch glanced at Zhu Wucheng carefully.

"Oh?"

Zhu Wucheng's eyes flashed, "Does the military department have an excerpt to enter the palace?" ”

"Half an hour ago, Chen Zurong of the military department went to Wenyuan Pavilion."

Zhu Wucheng didn't look at him, and said to a small yellow door standing on the side: "You go to Wenyuan Pavilion and ask." ”

"Yes."

Xiao Huangmen hurriedly answered, turned around and walked away quickly.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Wucheng said to Dong Shan again: "Go, tell Lin Lei, and bring the truth back." ”

.........

The sound of a rush of running broke the silent night sky.

Immediately, a voice shouted loudly: "Martial law!" Turn off the lights at every house! ”

The lights in the windows of the shops and houses on both sides of the street were extinguished.

An officer led two groups of heavily armed soldiers and stood in front of the street corner.

The night was getting deeper and the snow was getting denser, and the earth was turning white.

All around the alley have been under martial law, and the soldiers of the 1,000 Rui Shi battalion are on guard at three steps and one post at five steps, and are on guard along the road.

The lantern torches illuminate the snowy night.

A carriage came to the mouth of the alley under the escort of the cavalry, and the guerrilla general Yan Ming came forward: "The last general will see the marshal!" ”

Jia Jue lifted the window, "How's it going?" ”

Yan Ming: "Qiyu Dashuai, a total of three waves of people entered, and all of them were locked inside. ”

Jia Jue turned his head to look at Chen Ruiwen, Chen Ruiwen said angrily: "What do you want me to do?" I'm not good at talking! ”

Jia Jue smiled awkwardly and waved his hand, "Let's start!" ”

"No!"

Yan Ming immediately ordered, "Arrest people!" ”

Although it was snowflakes outside, it was very warm in the carriage, and Chen Ruiwen picked up a chess piece and landed heavily on the chessboard.

Jia Jue glanced at Chen Ruiwen, who had a graceful and leisurely expression, and quietly picked up a chess piece and gently put it on the chessboard.

At this moment, there were three explosions outside the carriage, and Chen Ruiwen's eyes flashed, "They are really forbidden troops!" "This is a warning signal for the military.

Jia Jue: "There must be a forbidden army, otherwise so many people would not be able to enter the barracks, but it is not so bad....."

Chen Ruiwen's expression became serious: "Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Jia Jue leaned forward and whispered a few words in Chen Ruiwen's ear.

Chen Ruiwen's face changed immediately: "What? Where is he now? ”

Jia Jue smiled slightly, "Ma Shang is a smart person, he must have hid in the nearest Jia Family Inn this time." ”

Chen Ruiwen sighed silently.

Jia Jue: "It's okay to save everyone embarrassment when they meet." You're right, everyone has Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, and they are all thinking about themselves and the family behind them. I'm curious, how could a Zhu Houjiong, who was buried up to his neck, make him take such a big risk so willingly? Benefit? It's not like that! Could it be that the ruling mansion has any handle in Zhu Houjiong's hands? ”

After speaking, he picked up a chess piece and slapped it on the chessboard.

Chen Ruiwen didn't raise his head, but just played another chess piece on the chessboard.

The two of them passed ten more hands, and Jia Jue threw the sunspot in his hand, "Talking is counted, if you have any questions, just ask." ”

Chen Ruiwen deliberately pondered for a while, and then said: "I know, Zhu Houjiong was drugged, is it you, or the emperor?" ”

Jia Jue was stunned at first, and then smiled: "Neither." ”

Chen Ruiwen's face sank, "Could it be Zhu Zaiyan?!" ”

Jia Jue replied while cleaning up the table: "I can answer you this question, to be precise, it is the medicine that is water-soluble to help Zhu Zaiyan, and Zhu Zaiyan does not have the courage to do so." ”

Speaking of this, he looked at Chen Ruiwen puzzled, "Back then, several families had an intelligence network, why didn't you know anything?" ”

Chen Ruiwen replied calmly: "The reason why the Duke of Qi and the Duke of Qi are still the Duke of Guo is because the military power and intelligence network were handed over to the royal family back then, which is an additional reward. ”

Jia Jue hurriedly asked: "Is the Beijing Palace's ..... because of the surrender of military power?"

Chen Ruiwen subconsciously retorted: "It's different, he is a ..... sect" The words that came to his mouth were swallowed, and he glared at Jia Jue dissatisfied.

"Clan? Is the water soluble a clan?! ”

Jia Jue perked up, and looked at Chen Ruiwen with blazing eyes, "He is the illegitimate son of the Emperor Taishang?" ”

Chen Ruiwen stared at Jia Jue for a while, "The Emperor Taishang hasn't been out of the palace for more than thirty years, where did he come from?" ”

Jia Jue: "Could it be that the King of Beijing has changed his surname?!" That's interesting, you say, I'm cute to listen to this. ”

Chen Ruiwen said slowly: "..... Say what? You can't understand what to say. ”

Jia Jue was happy, "That's not necessarily, they all praise me for being very smart!" ”

Chen Ruiwen smiled shallowly, "You are really shameless!" ”

At this moment, a firework shot into the night sky from the direction of Chongwenmen Street, releasing brilliant sparks.

"Dashuai, there is a signal from the direction of Chongwen Gate!" Jia Gui's voice came from outside the car window.

Jia Jue: "Help is coming!" ”

Chen Ruiwen: "Are you so sure that among the people who are besieged are people from the Beijing Palace?" ”

"There are not only people from the Beijing Palace, but also people from the Zhongshun Palace, and grassland people."

"Prairie people?"

Jia Jue laughed again, "They are planning to give the name of the person in the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”

Chen Ruiwen's brows couldn't help frowning.

Looking at the silent Chen Ruiwen, Jia Jue sighed silently, originally planned to grab the handle of Shui Rong and force him, but he didn't think that he was actually a clan, although it was not clear what was going on, but people can't be caught, and it's definitely useless to catch it.

Thinking of this, he said to Jia Gui: "Tell Yan Ming that there is no need to capture the mouth." ”

Chen Ruiwen couldn't help but smile and said, "What, isn't it quite lost." ”

Jia Jue pursed his lips, "Your circle is really messy!" ”

Chen Ruiwen was stunned for a moment, and then sighed.

He understood!

..........

The cold wind howled, rolling up clumps of snowflakes, hitting the faces of Niu Er and the others, like a wind knife stabbing and cutting, they had been hiding here for half an hour, suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and a team of soldiers appeared on the corner of the street with torches, and the torches illuminated the snowy night.

"Prepare to fire."

General Manager of the Firearms Battalion: "General Niu, the commander means that you can drive people back." ”

Looking at these soldiers dressed in forbidden army armor, Niu Er hesitated slightly, took a deep breath, and ordered: "Fire!" ”

With an order, a dense sound of fire rang out, and a series of screams sounded dozens of steps away on the opposite side, and nearly a hundred Chongwenmen defenders fell to the ground and struggled in pain.

In the firelight, the forbidden army Qian Zong who was riding on a war horse was quite unquiet in his heart, he didn't understand why the defenders of Chongwenmen appeared in the residence, and he didn't understand why the general ordered him to bring people to support, at this moment, the snow and fog suddenly flashed firelight, and then it was dark in front of him, and he heard the frightened shouts of his soldiers before falling off the horse.

The defenders of Chongwenmen were blinded by the sudden firecrackers, these are all new-style self-generated firearms, powerful, and can break heavy armor in a hundred steps, not to mention such a close distance, even if they don't die, they will be seriously injured.

Looking at the general officer Qian, who was out of breath, several general officers changed their expressions greatly, and ordered one after another: "Withdraw!" Remove! Retreat now! ”

The soldiers ran back, pushing and trampling each other, and the screams and cries resounded through the night sky.....

Seeing that the fighter plane was coming, Niu Er ordered someone to send a signal to Jia Jue to warn him, while pulling out his waist knife and yelling, "Kill!" ”

These people have long been frightened by the firecracker, and Ben did not have the courage to stop and resist, in addition to running for his life, that is, to be killed, Niu Er followed Jia Jue to fight in Xuanfu and the desert grassland, and he had never killed people as happily as now, with a wave of the big knife, the head flew, and with a backhand knife, another person screamed and fell to the ground, and Ben did not need to be guarded.

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the distance, Niu Er was stunned, and roared, "Array!" Array! A large detachment of cavalry rushed to this side. ”

A dramatic scene happened at this time, hundreds of fleeing Chongwen and the defenders were fleeing along the street towards the Chongwenmen barracks, just in time to meet these cavalry, someone recognized that the leader of this group of cavalry was the Chongwenmen guard, and immediately shouted excitedly, "General, we have been attacked, save us!" ”

Looking at the guards of the Ruishi Battalion who were lined up in the distance, the face of the Chongwen Gate guard changed greatly, and he waved his hand and ordered viciously: "Kill!" ”

Hundreds of cavalry swarmed up, raised their swords and killed, poor group of soldiers thought that they had met a savior, who thought that it was the impermanence of life, and suddenly, the scolding and screams became one.

Niu Er was also stunned, and suddenly, more than 100 soldiers ran to the front of the battle under the leadership of a general, knelt down and begged: "We are the defenders of Chongwenmen, not the rebels, please save us!" ”

"Please, General, save us!"

The soldiers wept bitterly and pleaded.

The guard general of Chongwen Gate led the cavalry over and arched his hand: "This will be the guard of Chongwen Gate, these people killed the commander and defected in fear of crime, thank you for the general's kind help." ”

"Fart!"

The commander shouted angrily, "Our chief came by order of him, and he is a traitor!" ”

"Damn anti-thieves!"

The guard was furious, drew his sword and was about to rush up to kill the general, Niu Er took the fire gun in the hands of the soldiers beside him, aimed it at him, and said loudly: "Dare to take a step forward, Lao Tzu wants you to die on the spot!" ”

"Bastard!"

At this time, a large group of cavalry rushed from behind the street, cutting off their rear road.
