As far as he knew, King Yan still had reservations about Xiao Chongdao, and the rest of the border army followed him all the way into Beijing, stopping at a village 100 miles away from the capital.

And the border army oppressed the people here and did a lot of evil. Not only did they kill the villagers in the village, but they also robbed the villagers to live in their homes, where they ate and lived.

The villagers were miserable and terrified.

"Shaoguang, guard the mansion, no matter what happens outside, as long as General Wu doesn't come, don't open the door." Lu Xiaowen told her in a deep voice and handed her a short sword.

"This is.?" He Shaoguang took the short sword, "Give me self-defense?" ”

"Hmm. If the Lu Mansion is unfortunately breached, if you don't want to be humiliated, you can kill the other party, and how many you can kill is a few. ”

Lu Xiaowen said worriedly, but He Shaoguang smiled: "I thought you wanted me to use it to end myself and not disgrace your Lu family's reputation." ”

"Nonsense." Lu Xiaowen sighed lowly, "If it really comes to this point, I only hope you don't look for a short-sightedness." Fame is an external thing, and only being alive is the most important thing. ”

"Don't worry, I'm sure I won't, I won't let them attack." He Shaoguang's eyes were shining, "You also have to go early and return early." ”

The personal guards left by Lu Xiaowen were all elite soldiers, with one to five, plus skilled family members, there were nearly 100 more people than the rebels surrounding Lu Mansion.

It's just that no matter how stable the military spirit is, there will always be soldiers who flee from the battle.

He Shaoguang was checking the sky in the backyard to relieve the tension in his heart. Suddenly, I heard a rustling at the base of the wall, and the sound of someone digging the earth.

She was alarmed, thinking that someone outside was digging inside, and immediately brought someone to check.

There was a black shadow at the base of the wall, and when he saw them coming, he immediately wanted to run, but he was caught by the family: "Which thief?" ”

The fire fold lit up his face, and then he recognized it as the Land Rover.

"Second lady, second lady, the little ghost is confused, and the little one is really scared, so I want to run away"

His white face was covered with mud, and his body shook into a sieve, which showed that he was frightened and stupid.

"Is he?" He Shaoguang felt familiar, but he didn't know this person.

"Second lady, this is Uncle Yong's son Land Rover in the concierge, and his hands and feet are not clean on weekdays. Look at the bulging backpack in his backpack, maybe how many good things he packed and ran away! ”

The person who spoke was angry, it was the former brother of Peach, who was kicked out with a big belly, and only later did he know that it was Land Rover, but Land Rover was the same as no one, he was already unhappy.

"You go check it out."

Sure enough, a lot of gold and silver utensils were turned out, as well as a whole set of jewelry, and at first glance, I don't know where I just stole them.

"Tie it up and hang it on a tree."

She can't be soft-hearted, if everyone follows the example of the Land Rover to dig a hole and escape, the Lu Mansion will be full of holes in a while, what else is there to guard?

She must punish the Land Rover severely to set an example.

Sure enough, there are still people who are scheming, and those who have not been transferred to guard the gate have performed their duties and waited anxiously for news outside.

The rebels outside seemed to be waiting for orders, just waiting for the leader to give an order, and immediately occupied the Lu Mansion.

He Shaoguang held his breath, and he could even hear the chaotic fighting on the streets.

There was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, I don't know if it was General Xiao Wu's men or the rebels?

The sound of horses' hooves was chaotic and hurried, and there was a pause at the door for a while, and there was the sound of whispered conversations.

He Shaoguang's heart was cold, the other party was a rebel, it was difficult. Did the Xiao family win?

After a while, the outside was quiet again, and He Shaoguang couldn't help but lie on the crack of the door and peek outside.

Before he could put his hand on the doorknob, there was a knock on the door.

"Tuk Tuk"

He Shaoguang didn't dare to make a sound, nor did he dare to open the door, his hands froze in mid-air.

The people in the guards who were specifically responsible for protecting her were vigilant, holding on to the hilt of their swords, ready to attack.

The knock on the door sounded again, this time accompanied by a hearty female voice: "Second Mrs. Lu, open the door!" ”

Hearing Wu Lingyu's voice, He Shaoguang's body was weak and he almost collapsed, but Zhijun and Nijun supported them alone.

She breathed a sigh of relief: "Quick, open the door." ”

After Wu Lingyu and Xiang Shiqun converged, they were like a bamboo, and the rebels were defeated and retreated, and Shangguan Ge was also beheaded in front of the rebels.

When she came with a team of a dozen or so people, she came around from the end of the street, and the rebels outside the Lu Mansion Gate were all gone.

And the first thing He Shaoguang heard was the sound of horses' hooves that the remnants of the rebels told them to evacuate and hurry out of the city.

"Thank you, General Wu." He Shaoguang held her hand, and both of them were sweating in one hand.

It turned out that Wu Lingyu only didn't look nervous on the surface.

The two girls looked at each other and smiled in the firelight, and they both saw peace of mind in each other's eyes.

"Lady, what do you have to say to me?"

The saint wore a bed robe and a dragon robe, and stood on the jade steps in front of the Xuanzheng Palace.

Under the jade steps, there were everyone, kneeling together.

The queen and the king of Qi were obviously relieved.

Concubine Xiao Shufei couldn't have imagined that the saint had been in a coma for three days, and he was just making a show, just to speed them up and lure them out.

Although King Qi knew that the sage was making a show, when the ministers were vacillating between him and the five princes, they still felt frightened, and they didn't know when the five princes would force the palace to take the throne.

I didn't calm down just now, and the ministers who stood rashly were even more cold sweating: It's okay to choose the King of Qi, but now the five princes who stand are directly into the camp of the rebels, how can the saints still tolerate them?

"Who are the people who think that I can't wake up and are in a hurry to make the fifth child the prince?"

The saint asked everyone lightly, but no one dared to answer.

Cong Tianjie stood up, lowered his eyebrows, and reported the names and official positions of the people who had just spoken for Concubine Xiao Shu and the five princes.

"Very good, Cong Xiang, let's do it according to this list."

What to do?

The person who was signed up softened half of his body, and was directly dragged down by the guards.

And their families, who have just escaped from the fire, are waiting for them with a full house of beheadings.

The rebels fled, and King Yan fled out of the city with the rest of his men and horses, and disappeared. Xiao Chongdao was hidden in the capital, and he was nowhere to be seen.

The wife of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, the Zhu family who was disgusted with He Shaoguang, was also swept away because she had befriended the Xiao family and gave gifts to the Xiao family.

Let Dali Siqing be dismissed at the age when he is about to be killed, but fortunately he was not beheaded.

And the vacancy of his official position fell on the head of Luo Yunde, who had made meritorious contributions to this cooperation.

Xiao Chongdao has not been found yet, and Concubine Xiao Shu was given poisoned wine.

For the five princes, the saint is soft-hearted after all, even if this son once rebelled, he only put him under house arrest, locked up in a dilapidated palace, and could not come out for life.

And Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan thought that she was going to die, but King Zheng stood up and asked for her protection in a warm voice: "Father, the Xiao family has been hiding this matter from the side concubine throughout the whole process, and Yan'er inadvertently found out before the incident, so she reminded General Lu of this matter, and she should have paid off with merit." ”
