Snowflakes are flying.

At the second watch, the guard of Yongding Gate woke up with the sound of the door, and while buttoning the buttons on his robe, he walked out of the inner room with sleepy eyes, and said, "..... What's up? Your face is so ugly..... By the way, aren't you on duty in the castle? Something must have happened?! ”

The commander nodded with a stern face, and then said: "The Imperial Forest Army wants to enter the city, this is the military order of the military department, and it is stamped with a big seal of defense!" As he spoke, he presented a military order to the guards.

The guard general took the military order and looked at it, and was also shocked.

A general walked to the door and reported: "General, the Royal Forest Army is urging again." ”

Guard: "No one is allowed to open the city gates without my orders!" ”

The boss: "Yes." He replied and withdrew.

The thousand commanders: "They have the order to transfer troops from the military department, and they can't do it if they don't open the door." If you don't let someone go to the imperial city to report the news, you can delay for a while. ”

The guard's eyes lit up, and he walked inside and took out his own Great Seal of Defense, "You take the Great Seal of General General and go to the Palace of Cultivation of Hearts to report the news!" As he spoke, he gave the Great Seal to the Thousand Commanders.

The Commander-in-Chief: "No." Holding the Great Seal in his arms, he turned around and strode out.

At this moment, the sound of countless soldiers and horses shouting came from outside the city.

The guards then rushed up to the city tower to visit, and were immediately stunned by the situation in front of them, only to see the overwhelming torches illuminating half the sky outside the city!

Although he knew that these Imperial Guards would not attack the city, he still felt a sense of trepidation in his heart, and took out his pocket watch.

"Open the gates at once!"

Time is hard!

The time of a cup of tea has passed, and this is already the limit, otherwise the army will enter the city and fall to the ground by itself.

"Open the gates!"

"Click", the huge city gate slowly opened.

There was another "click" sound, and the heavy drawbridge was lowered.

Dai Quan, who was riding on a tall horse, waved his hand and ordered sharply: "The Emperor's decree, enter the city immediately, close the nine gates, block the streets, search one by one, and not allow a White Lotus Sect demon to escape, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

Li Jiqing took the reins and ordered loudly: "Enter the city!" ”

The cavalry launched, and a cloud of snow rolled up in the sound of galloping hooves.....

No matter how heavy the snow is, it can't stop the embarrassment of life, and there are small stalls in the streets and alleys at this time, and the vendors are holding umbrellas in sheds, doing chaotic and baked cake business.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, and before the hawkers could recover their senses, they saw two groups of officers and soldiers appear at the bend of the street.

"Martial law! All go home! Go home! ”

"The government has a business trip! Everyone shrugged away! ”

The vendors hurriedly packed up their stalls and left in a hurry.

A group of Guards cordoned off the entire street in a few steps, and then an officer with another group of non-commissioned officers began to search from house to house.

The earth-shattering knock on the door made a loud noise in the empty streets.

"There are thieves!" Someone in the courtyard opposite shouted.

Two Royal Forest Sergeants walked over, kicked the door, and said viciously: "Shut up! Shout again to kill your whole family! ”

It was quiet inside.

At this time, three fireworks swished into the night sky, exploding three times in the air, releasing brilliant sparks. ...."Woo-"

Then the terrible sound of the horn spread throughout the entire eastern city, and the sound of the horn was extremely fast.

The sound of horses' hooves shaking the earth broke the silence of the night sky.

........

"Ding Dong...."

The sound of the piano came out from the backyard of Wuwei Hall, and at first it was still like a drop of water, but slowly, it became a little chaotic....

Snowflakes were falling outside, but inside the house was as warm as spring.

Jia Jue was wearing a loose cotton robe, holding Xiangling and sitting on her lap to teach her to play the piano.

Suddenly, the strings snapped, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Amber smiled and said, "That's stupid! Hooked the string again. ”

Xiangling pouted and twisted her body: "Oh, it's all the third master, squeezing other people's hands, with so much strength, can you keep it?" I'll learn from Miss Lin tomorrow. As he spoke, he jumped off Jia Jue's body.

Amber smiled and raised her hand to point on her forehead, "You play like this, don't talk about the third master, even if Miss Lin is here, this string will be broken, and I'm embarrassed to blame others!" ”

Xiangling sighed, "Okay, I won't study anymore!" ”

The two of them were talking, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and they turned their heads together.

Jia Jue sat silently in front of the bookcase, not knowing what to think about or what to do, and didn't say a word.

"Third Master." Amber called out tentatively in a low voice.

Jia Jue then glanced at her.

Xiangling lowered her head and said in a muffled voice: "Third master, you punish me." ”

Jia Jue said: "Did you hear any movement just now?" The sound of an explosion! ”

The two of them looked at each other and shook their heads.

Jia Jue stood up, "Prepare clothes for me to go out." ”

After a pause, "Take my armor out." ”

Before Amber could react, Jia Fu's voice came from outside the door: "Third Master, there is an urgent letter from the palace." ”

"Come in." Jia Jue walked outside and said, "Find out that leather jacket too." "As he spoke, he had gone outside.

Jia Fu had already hurriedly walked over, "The urgent letter from the palace, the Imperial Forest Army has entered the city, it is at the will of the Emperor. As he spoke, he took out a letter from his bosom and held it with both hands.

Jia Jue took the letter and tore it up, his face changed immediately, then he grabbed the letter and asked Jia Fu, "Did you hear the explosion?" ”

"The explosion from Dongcheng has already sent someone to investigate." Jia Fu's eyes flashed, and then he continued, "There is still a faint sound of a horn. ”

"Trumpet!"

A glimmer of alertness flashed in Jia Jue's eyes!

"Third master, the clothes are ready." Amber and Xiangling came out of the inner room with their clothes in their arms, ready to wait for Jia Jue to change their clothes.

"There's no hurry."

Jia Jue waved his hand, turned around and sat down on the chair, and said to Jia Fu, "Sit down." ”

"Yes."

Jia Fu patted the snowflakes on his body and sat down as well.

Amber gave Jia Jue a bowl of hot tea, turned around and lifted the lid of the incense burner, and blew inside, and the charcoal in the incense burner lit an open flame, making the outside much warmer.

"Don't worry, take a sip of tea first."

Seeing Jia Fu's eyes looking at the door curtain, Jia Jue said lightly.

Amber brought him hot tea.

Jia Fu stood up and bowed his hand to Jia Jue: "Third Master Xie." He arched his hand at Amber again, "Sister Xie Amber." Amber didn't squeak, and turned and went inside.

Jia Jue smiled: "There's no need to be so careful. ”

Jia Fu hurriedly put down the tea bowl, "Go back to the third master, this is the rule." ”

Jia Jue nodded: "It's to abide by the rules." Suddenly remembered Mama Li's words, and asked with a smile: "I heard Mama say, you have been quite close to Lin Zhixiao recently, what's the matter, do you fall in love with other people's daughters?" ”

Jia Fu blushed and replied, "I, I've seen her twice..... Later, she, she followed my mother.... My mother thinks she's a neat and generous girl..... Pretty good, pretty good....."

Jia Jue waved his hand and said, "Generally speaking, I won't care about such things, but you are different from them, we are brothers, and I want to think about your future." ”

"I know ....."

"Listen to me." Jia Jue interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and continued: "You won't stay in the pro-soldier team all the time, and when the time is right, I will arrange for you to enter the army for training." You will have the official status of the imperial court in the future, so you have to think about it carefully, otherwise there will be trouble in the future, and everyone's face will be disgraced. ”

"I...."

"Don't worry, you better go back and discuss this matter with Mama Li slowly."

Jia Fu nodded again.

At this time, a report came from outside the door: "The head of the family, Dongcheng has sent a letter." ”

"Bring it in."

A cold wind blew in the thick curtain of the door, and a personal soldier walked in, handed a letter to Jia Fu, and turned to retreat.

Jia Jue took the letter from Jia Fu, tore open the letter and looked at it, looked at it, his eyes flashed with light, slapped his palm on the desk, and said loudly: "Good means..... Good means! ”

Jia Fu was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Third Master....."

Jia Jue smiled, "Our Emperor Tai's methods are really clever!" With the power of the military, the military power hidden in Shenjing City was cut off today, hehe..... In less than half an hour, the Imperial Forest Army destroyed three strongholds and killed more than 100 people, and this is just the beginning......" Speaking of this, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The military has offended the emperor this time.....

The most powerful thing in the Ming Dynasty is that the horses are all around, and the spies are all over the place, always aware of the movements of the ministers of civil and military affairs, and the slightest abnormal move, the emperor can know in advance and send people to control.

Because Liu Xianglian fell to the emperor, causing the division of Jinyiwei, Nanzhen Fusi has lost a large number of elites, if Beizhen Fusi is purged again tonight, even if the emperor wins the final victory, I am afraid that both will lose, and the loss is still the power in the hands of the royal family, and he will respectfully serve the emperor in the end.

This is filial piety, the minister is definitely disloyal if he is not filial, and the emperor will be mean and unkind if he is not filial.

Jia Jue raised his head and thought silently, thought for a moment and sighed.

Counting the time, the handwritten edict stamped with the seal of the Ministry of War should be sent to the hands of Li Wenzhong, the uncle of Xingyang, this month's grain and grass will be sent to the camp in mid-November, maybe he will pull out the camp in advance, and receive these grain and grass halfway, now it is snowing in the whole north, which will greatly affect the speed of the march, and I don't know how the emperor will end this farce in a decent way.

In order to purge the forces loyal to the old emperor in the Imperial Forest Army, it is also painstakingly working today. But at this moment, the emperor's biggest headache is how to protect Liu Xianglian and those secret spies under the butcher's knife of the military.

Maybe he will give up Liu Xianglian like the old emperor gave up Li Xian.

The chiming bell rang suddenly!

Jia Jue stood up, silently walked to the window, outside the house, in the light of a lantern, the snow was heavier than just now, and asked Jia Fu, who was standing on the right side, "Is Mrs. Jiao in Dongcheng?" ”

"Yes." Jaffo replied.

Jia Jue nodded, "Go back and rest." ”

Jia Fu was stunned for a moment, "Yes." He strode out.

Looking at Jia Fu's back, Jia Jue remembered Chen Zurong again, this second and fifth boy, Jin Xianghou was miserable by him.

.........

The hall of heart cultivation is also brightly lit.

Now just as Jia Jue thought, the news of Dongcheng had been quickly sent into the palace, and one by one it was placed on Zhu Wucheng's imperial case, Zhu Wucheng was standing in front of the imperial case at this time, holding the lamp in his hand, and looking carefully at each one.

Dong Shan stood there nervously with his head bowed.

Zhu Wucheng: "Dong Shan." ”

"The minions are here." Dong Shan hurriedly replied.

Zhu Wucheng: "Did the loyal minister who went to the military headquarters to see if I had returned?" ”

Dong Shan: "Yes." ”

Outside, the voice of the chief eunuch on duty came: "Your Majesty, Li Jiqing, the right attendant of the military department, asks for an audience!" ”

Dong Shan: "Your Majesty, Li Jiqing is here." ”

Zhu Wucheng: "Please come in!" ”

Dong Shan was stunned for a moment, and shouted outside the hall: "Li Jiqing, the right attendant of the Xuanbing Department, is driving!" ”

Li Jiqing, who was weak-hearted, bowed his head and walked in, kneeling down by the door of the inner room.

"Come forward, I don't eat people." Zhu Wucheng's voice was a little stiff.

"Yes." Li Jiqing kowtowed, got up and walked to the side of the imperial case and knelt down.

There was silence.

"Get up." Zhu Wucheng spoke, "You are my minister, not my minion. ”

Li Jiqing was stunned again, and had no choice but to reply: "The minister obeys the order." He kowtowed and got up.

"How's the White Lotus Sect going?"

One sentence made Li Jiqing sweat on his head, this deceive the people is still successful, where did the White Lotus Sect come from in Shenjing City?

The White Lotus Sect had already been exterminated, and only a few remnants dared to jump out and incite the victims while Huairou was suffering.

Dong Shan: "Reply." ”

Li Jiqing lowered his head: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know." ”

Zhu Wucheng looked at Dong Shan and smiled, "See?" What does it mean to seek a life but not a country, this is. ”

Li Jiqing: "The minister really doesn't know. ”

Zhu Wucheng: "Okay! I believe you, so tell me what you know. ”

"The minister is stupid, I don't know what Your Majesty is referring to, please make it clear to Your Majesty."

Zhu Wucheng: "Okay! Then I made it clear that you are the right attendant of the military department, you should know if there is a White Lotus Sect in Shenjing, why do you want to transfer troops? ”

Li Jiqing knelt down, "Your Majesty, the minister is at the behest of the Emperor." ”

"What about the Divine Decree?"

Li Jiqing was stunned by this question and did not reply immediately.

"Talk back! Back! Dong Shan roared sharply.

Li Jiqing: "Echoing Your Majesty, it is an oracle passed on by General Manager Dai, and there is no holy decree." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Wucheng was surprised: "So, is Dai Quan, a minion, pretending to pass on the holy decree?" ”

Li Jiqing's heart trembled, and he understood that the emperor was planning to take the opportunity to kill Dai Quan, the emperor's most relied on confidant, and take Dongchang and Jinyiwei in one fell swoop. Dong Shan's eyebrows twisted, and he was about to get angry.

Li Jiqing said softly: "Chief Manager Dai has the gold medal of the saint's troop transfer in his hand, so he can transfer the Imperial Forest Army into the city." ”

Zhu Wucheng stopped looking at him, and turned to Dong Shan again: "See, right?" One is more powerful than the other, and they have all washed themselves clean, it seems that I am wrong. ”

Dong Shan was also stunned, where did he know how to reply.

Zhu Wucheng: "You go out." ”

Dong Shan was stunned again: "..... Your Majesty! ”

Zhu Wucheng's gaze glanced at Li Jiqing, "I have something to say to the Marquis of Jinxiang." ”

"Yes." Dong Shan bowed and retreated.

...........

It snowed heavily, and the shop closed its doors early, except for the two lanterns with "Hengshudian" printed on the top of the black lacquered gate, which were dimly lit and the snowflakes drifted down from the night sky.

Suddenly, there was a rush of running on the street, and then a voice shouted: "Open the door of each household, wait for inspection, and if there is any non-cooperation, it will be punished as a thief!" ”

Xue Pan and Liu Xianglian sat silently in front of a large brazier, at this time, Liu Xianglian's clothes were dirty and torn, and there was a little blood, he threw the fire tongs in his hand, and sighed: "Forget it, if I stay here, it will bring disaster to you, I'd better go." ”

"What nonsense!"

Xue Pan stood up suddenly, "You said it yourself, the Imperial Forest Army has blocked the entire East City, where are you going?" I'm afraid that if I go out of this door, I will be caught by them. ”

Liu Xianglian: "Then I can't stay here, if they find out, even Hou Ye will be implicated." ”

After a pause, "Brother Xue's kindness can only be repaid in the next life!" ”

Xue Pan was anxious, "Second Brother Liu, you look down on me." ”

Liu Xianglian only looked back at him without saying anything.

"Open the door! Open the door! There was a shout of reprimand outside: "The Royal Forest Army is searching for the White Lotus Sect demons, open the door quickly!" Then the knocker slammed again.

Xue Pan: "I'll go see them, you hide here and wait for me." ”

Liu Xianglian grabbed his arm: "Brother Xue, I shouldn't have teased you at the beginning, I, you must be careful....."

Xue Pan smiled, "Remember, you owe me a drink!" He strode out.

Just then, the gate in the front yard was slammed open!

"What? Do? ”

In the midst of the uproar, Xue Pan rushed to the front yard and scolded loudly: "There is no royal law!" Do you still know the rules? It's all your own people, you have to make everyone shameful?! ”

The officer tilted his head to look at him, "You're the shopkeeper here?" ”

Xue Pan: "No. ”

The officer was stunned: "Come on, search." ”

"Wait a minute!" Xue Pan hurriedly pulled the officer to the side, stuffed a silver ticket into his hand, and said in a low voice: "Five hundred taels, brothers drink tea." ”

The officer was startled, he opened it and looked at it, sure enough, it was a silver ticket of five hundred taels, he felt more and more that there was something greasy in it, and then Xue Pan said again: "This pawnshop is the property of the Marquis of Zhongwu, his own people." ”

"I see, since it's Hou Ye's shop, it's my own person, I misunderstood, I misunderstood!"

The officer was startled, and immediately waved his hand, "Let's go, go search for it elsewhere!" ”

The soldiers immediately withdrew, and the officer glanced at the backyard, and then whispered in front of Xue Pan and said, "Manager Dai is behind, be careful." ”

Xue Pan was stunned for a moment, and then deliberately replied in a low voice: "Don't hide it from my brother, I am familiar with Mr. Dai, and Mr. Dai also knows that this is Lord Hou's property, so you can rest assured." ”

The officer laughed dryly, turned and strode away.

Looking at the officer's distant back, Xue Pan rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand to tear the cotton robe on his body, and scratched two blood marks on his face, and then walked to the backyard with satisfaction.
