When Jing Zizheng and his party rushed to Jinling City, everyone's originally hanging hearts finally relaxed.

They kept hurrying non-stop, and finally arrived in Jinling City before the arrival of the grassland army.

"I finally arrived in Jinling City, if I continue to rush like this, I'm afraid this old bone of mine will be completely tossed and scattered." When Mr. Shangyang saw that he had arrived at the gate of Jinling City, he immediately jumped out of the car and began to stretch his muscles.

When his disciple heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to support him, fearing that he would twist his waist with all his might.

"Mr. Shangyang's body is also old and strong!" Compared with Mr. Shangyang, who can twist his waist and stretch after jumping out of the car, Yang Ping is now like a weeping willow in the wind, constantly swinging.

"That's because although I am a Confucian disciple, among the six arts, there are not only poems, books, rituals and music!" Mr. Shangyang looked at the chubby Yang Ping and said with a smile.

"Everyone, let's hurry up and enter the city, I haven't even been able to eat a mouthful of food in a hurry along the way." An Su saw Mr. Shangyang and Yang Ping grinding and chirping at the city gate, so he immediately reminded him.

"Yes! I'm starving to death, too! "Qi Chao is also as eager as An Su to enter the city immediately for a big meal.

"Eat! Eat! Eat! You know how to eat, and you don't think about the safety of your grandfather, father, and mother! When Qi Ning heard this, he immediately had a brain meltdown on Qi Chao's head.

"It hurts!" Qi Chao immediately hugged his head and said in pain.

"I said what are you worried about, Li Yi may have taken his grandfather and them into Jinling City, maybe they are eating and drinking spicy food now!"

"You guys are really heartless!" Qi Ning was also angry with his younger brother and had nothing to say.

However, she also felt that what Qi Chao said was very reasonable. She is still very confident in Li Yi. Then they walked towards the gate of Jinling City.

Originally, according to the regulations of the Dayu Dynasty, all the counties of the Dayu Dynasty implemented the morning bell and dusk drum system. The so-called morning bell and dusk drum system is actually a curfew system.

That is, the morning bell rings in the city at the hour, and the city gate is still open for the people to pass. In the afternoon, the city gates were closed at the sound of the drums.

At this time, no one in the city was allowed to go out, and no one outside the city was allowed to enter the city until the bell rang again the next morning.

However, this rule began to loosen after the Dayu Dynasty slowly flourished. In particular, because there is no threat from foreign enemies, the most prosperous county town in the south of Dayu is like Jinling City, and the morning bell and dusk drum system have been canceled decades ago.

However, although Jinling City is no longer restricted from entering and exiting Jinling City at night, there are still necessary checks.

However, when they walked to the side gate of the city gate, they were surprised to find that there was not a single soldier of the city guard battalion who should be stationed here.

"What's going on?" Keiko looked at the empty side door with a stunned expression, not understanding what was going on.

"Could it be that this Jinling City has reached the point where it doesn't close its doors at night and doesn't leave it behind?" Mr. Shangyang is also a little incredible.

"Could it be that the soldiers of the city guard battalion in Jinling City have gone to other places to be lazy?" Hai Yin stood at the side gate of Jinling City and observed carefully.

At this time, he couldn't help but sigh that the northern and southern city defenses of the Dayu Dynasty were so different.

"Probably not! When I used to come to Jinling City to deliver goods, there were soldiers of the city guard battalion at night, and because the grass army has ravaged Jinling City in recent years, the night inventory is still very strict! "Yang Ping had been to Jinling City before, so he still knew something about the city defense of Jinling City.

"Then this is the dereliction of duty of the soldiers of the city guard battalion, how can such a lax defense hold the progress of the grassland army?" An Su looked at the side door of Jinling City with an angry face.

"Isn't it because something happened in the city that caused no one to be stationed here?" At this time, Hai Yin frowned and spoke.

His words immediately woke everyone up.

"That's right, this time the grassland army attacked Jinling City at the behest of Emperor Shengheng, so now it is very likely that those shadows buried by Emperor Shengheng in the city have taken action." After Hai Yin's reminder, Jing Zizheng immediately secretly screamed that it was broken.

Then he immediately led the people to rush towards Jinling City. When they entered Jinling City through the gate of Jinling City, they found that Jinling City was already in chaos at this time.

There were many horse-drawn carriages scattered all over the streets, and many shops on both sides of the street had been forcibly smashed open.

Some beggars in tattered clothes were joisingly grabbing the contents of the shops. And on the edge of these shops, many innocent people are hiding with their heads on their hands, shivering.

The soldiers of the city guard battalion, who were supposed to protect the safety of Jinling City, were fighting with another group of soldiers.

Seeing such a scene, Jing Zizheng's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"What the fuck is going on?" Ansu couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth when he saw the scene in front of him.

"What else can it be, is this unclear, the people who Emperor Shengheng planted in Jinling City have done it." Hai Yin saw the chaotic situation around him, and he immediately said coldly.

"So what are we going to do now?" Qi Chao couldn't help but be angry when he saw those beggars laughing and robbing the surrounding shops.

"The situation is unclear now, we must find my junior brother first, he entered the city before us, and should know what is going on in the city." Keiko didn't want to make an immediate move at this time, after all, they hadn't figured out the situation in the city yet.

If you don't know what the specific situation is, you may be able to do something bad with good intentions. So what he has to do now is to find Li Yi first.

"But Jinling City is so big, where should we go to find Li Yi?" Qi Ning looked at the wide streets around him and the houses that could not be seen at a glance, and a sense of confusion arose.

"We must first find someone to ask where the people from Sizhou County are! As long as you find them, you will definitely be able to find Li Yi. Keiko said after a moment of muttering with her chin propped up.

"That's right, even if Li Yi is not there, we can ask them what is going on in the city." Qi Ning was also a little eager to see his family at this time.

"You're right, but how do we go about finding the people from Sizhou County now?" At this time, Qi Chao raised a question that no one considered.

"Yes! The question asked by Qi Chao is also what I want to ask, who should we ask now to ask where the people from Sizhou County are? An Su also stood up at this time and spoke.

"Do you need to ask? There must be a lot of people who want to come from Sizhou County, and the arrangement of so many people is bound to be arranged by the Jinling City Government, so as long as we go to the Jinling City Government to ask, we can know. Yang Ping, as one of the few people present who had been to Jinling City and had been to Jinling City more than once, he still had some understanding of the duties of the Jinling Mansion.

"That's right! We only need to go to the Jinling Mansion to inquire and we should know. Qi Chao patted his thigh and said excitedly.

"Then what are we waiting for, let's go to Jinling Mansion now!" Qi Ning immediately said when he heard this.

"Miss Qi, it's already night at this time, and the Jinling Mansion has already closed, and even if we go now, we won't be able to see anyone." Yang Ping saw that Qi Ning wanted to go to the Jinling Mansion now, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly and said.

"Yes, sister, we've all arrived in Jinling City anyway, now let's find a place to stay and eat something, and wait until tomorrow to find my grandfather and them!" Qi Chao said aggrievedly while rubbing his stomach at this time.

"When are you still thinking about eating, maybe tonight the grassland army will have a chance to attack Jinling City, when the soldiers are in chaos, where will we go to find grandfather and them!" Qi Ning was still unrelenting, and wanted to hurry up and find Qi Lao and them.

"It's unlikely that the grassland army will attack Jinling City tonight!" At this moment, Hai Yin suddenly spoke.

"Why?" Everyone asked in surprise. In their opinion, the current chaos in Jinling City is a good time for the grassland army to attack.

If the grassland army takes advantage of the situation to attack at this time, it can completely break Jinling City in one battle.

"It's simple, because the situation is unknown." Hae-yin directly stated the reason.

"The situation is unknown?"

"That's right, think about it, since Gongzi and they have fled to Jinling City with the people of Sizhou County, this can mean that Zongzheng Temple must have received the news that the grassland army is about to attack Jinling City, and now it is clear that the people of Jinling City already know that the grassland army is about to attack, but they still make a mess in the city, and you are the shaman of the grassland army, will you choose to attack at this time?" Hai Yin's question stopped everyone at the scene.

They hadn't thought about it before. After all, from their point of view, it is impossible for them to think about it.

But now, when they stand in the perspective of the grassland army, the current Jinling City seems to be really not suitable for a raid.

Because maybe this is a trap that Zongzheng Temple made by taking advantage of the trend.

"But don't they think about it, this is probably the opportunity that Emperor Shengheng has won for them?" An Su asked after thinking for a moment.

In his opinion, although the chaos in Jinling City at this time may seem like a trap, it may also be a golden opportunity.

So in other words, he is likely to choose to fight, after all, if they succeed, then they will take Jinling City without a single soldier.

Such a good deal is worth fighting.

"An Jun, although you are a good hand at killing the enemy, you are not a good commander." Hai Yin shook his head with a wry smile and said.

"Why do you say that?" Ansu was a little unconvinced.

"Anjun, don't be angry, in fact, what Haijun said is right, war is not a gamble, the commander of an army can't bet on the safety of the whole army because of the great gains, what a really good commander has to do is to use the minimum price to obtain the greatest victory." Keiko said as he patted Ansu on the shoulder.

"That's right, the original population of the grassland tribe is not as large as that of the Great Yu Dynasty, so it is unlikely that the grassland tribe will take such a big risk unless it is forced to do so when fighting!" As the former Xianbei Khan, Haiyin is still very clear about the combat style of the grassland army.

"In this way, wouldn't the steppe army miss such a great opportunity in vain?" Xu Yan and the others said with a smile at this time.

"No, do you really think the chaos in this city is that simple?" At this time, Mr. Shangyang said slowly.

"Oh? Why did you say that, sir? Everyone asked curiously.

"You may only know that Zongzheng Temple is the one who manages the world surnamed Mu, but what you don't know is that the real strength of Zongzheng Temple is far from being as simple as you heard." Mr. Shangyang raised his head slightly and looked at Mingyue hanging in mid-air and said.

"Oh? I want to hear about it! Keiko was listening to Mr. Shangyang's words, and she immediately became interested. Although they had heard some things about Zongzheng Temple before, in fact, all they could hear was a few words, but they didn't know much about Zongzheng Temple.

At this time, even Mu Qingliang, the prince of Qi, pricked up his ears. Originally, as the prince of King Qi, he only thought that he already knew a lot about the imperial court and Zongzheng Temple.

But along the way, he realized that he knew too little and too little. On the contrary, these people who are not surnamed Mu know much more than him.

This couldn't help but make Mu Qingliang feel a little frustrated. However, as he learned more and more, he realized that it was not necessarily a bad thing that he knew less.

Especially after he completely recognized the person of Emperor Shengheng, he realized what a terrible thing it was to be the king of the Mu domain.

Maybe one day, their Qi King's vein will be wiped out by Emperor Shengheng without realizing it.

It is precisely because of this that he has become more and more integrated into this whole during this period of time with Jing Zizheng and others.

"For a long time, people in the world have believed that Zongzheng Temple is nothing more than a Mu clan ancestral hall organized by the kings of the world, and its role is only to mediate the contradictions between the feudal clans, but this is only its superficial thing." Mr. Shangyang said slowly.

Everyone listened intently at this time. Even Huang Budo and Guo Li both frowned and listened carefully.

It stands to reason that these two people, as the apprentices of the old Huainan King, should know more about Zongzheng Temple than others.

But in fact, the two of them's knowledge of Zongzheng Temple is limited to hearsay. Old Huainan Wang Shi didn't tell them too much about Zongzheng Temple.

The two of them just knew that the old Huainan King was one of the elders of Zongzheng Temple.

"In fact, the real controllers of Zongzheng Temple are not those old vassal kings who have retired, in fact, every temple leader of Zongzheng Temple is served by someone from the Mu clan." After Mr. Shangyang finished speaking, everyone at the scene fell into silence.

Everyone was carefully digesting the information in his sentence at this time.

"Mr. Shangyang, do you mean that the temple of Zongzheng Temple is not the royal family surnamed Mu?" Everyone was silent for a long time, and Mu Qingliang, who was a member of the Mu family, finally took the lead in speaking.

"No, the Yin clan surnamed Mu is also the royal family surnamed Mu, but they are different from you in that they have no fief and no throne, but they have the same Mu bloodline as you." Mr. Shangyang explained to Mu Qingliang.

"Mr. Shangyang, is the so-called Yin Clan you said hidden in the shadows like the Yin Clan in other big families?" Guo Li, who didn't plan to speak, couldn't help but ask.

He had indeed heard of the existence of the Yin Clan in some large families before. But he didn't expect that the royal family also had the existence of the Yin Clan.

"You're right! The royal Yin clan is also the same as the Yin clan in other large families. ”
