Through the hinterland of Xiliang, Xiao Wenjun and the others returned to Daqi, the closer they got to Kyoto, the more they needed to be cautious and not reveal their whereabouts.

After several people discussed, it was decided to march into Kyoto in batches, each leading a team of people, either as a caravan, or as a bodyguard to escort the families of wealthy families, etc., without going into details.

At this time, Kyoto was filled with an oppressive atmosphere of impending storms. However, the energy of the Shadow Pavilion played a huge role, and under Yu Wenyao's strict surveillance, the transmission of information was still smooth, but the time was slower.

When we finally arrived at the gate gate, the familiar guards had changed, the number of soldiers defending the city had doubled, their expressions were serious, and the personnel entering and leaving Kyoto were checked more strictly, no different from the wartime alert.

"Wenjun, this time is different from the past, we are afraid that our portraits have already been plastered all over the city, and entering the city at this moment is tantamount to throwing yourself into a net." Wang Jiuyuan stared at the guards at the city gate with his eyes and said with a frown.

"Well, you and I have a way to enter the city, and how to bring the cavalry into the city is a difficult matter. If Yu Wenyao finds some clues, this trick will be wasted! ”

Xiao Wenjun also had a headache, there were a large number of them, and the soldiers were full of anger, and it was very dazzling to throw them in the crowd, and it was difficult to hide from Yu Wenyao's ears and eyes.

Just when the two were at a loss.

"Master, have you forgotten the county lord's mansion?" He Hong said at the right time.

Xiao Wenjun held his forehead, and he was really anxious to forget about this stubble. When a certain ancestor of the Xiao family was a proton in Kyoto, he was quite good at fortifications, and he was repairing the garden in the open, but secretly he dug a long underground passage to lead directly to the grove outside the city.

This was originally used as an escape channel by the ancestors of the Xiao family in case of emergency, but he didn't expect it to be his descendants at this moment, and also indirectly helped the royal family.

She will never forget when she first entered the "Shizifu" at that time, she was shocked by the layers of large-scale rockeries, which were piled up with soil and stones transported from tunnels, and all of them were piled up in the yard to make rockeries in order not to make outsiders suspicious.

Soon the division of labor was clear, Xiao Wenjun and Wang Jiuyuan sneaked into the city, He Hong led a team of people to quietly enter Beijing from the tunnel and hid in the dark for the time being, and Xiao Wenbin led a large army to hide in the villages outside the city, which was the biggest weight they could fight with Yu Wenyao.

The situation in Kyoto is a little more serious than Xiao Wenjun imagined, the emperor has not been in court for many days, and everything is controlled by Prince Duan Yuwenyao. The replacement of the guards at the city gate is all from his hand, and the inner and outer parts of Kyoto can be made with an iron bucket to make him feel at ease.

But where can he get his wish, Kyoto is not as big as Lanling City and Ningxia Town, and can allow a family to be dominant, although the imperial city is indeed the Yuwen family, the whole world is the Yuwen family, and it is rare to see the world united.

And how many dynasties have risen and fallen here, countless large and small families operate here, and countless forces are intertwined here, and wanting to reach the level of Yuwenyao's peace of mind is tantamount to a fool's dream.

Moreover, in his previous life, Yu Wenyao was fully prepared, and the time and energy spent on clearing out foreign parties and chasing deserters exceeded more than a month. In this life, he started in a hurry, although it seems to be a slow plan, it must require more time and energy.

Right now, Yu Wenyao has encountered a hard bone to gnaw.

The commander of the Gong Wei Division made Sun Zheng not eat hard and soft, and was only loyal to the emperor, which made Yu Wenyao very angry, and the energy consumed on the Gong Wei Division could subdue several pavilion elders or generals. However, Sun Zheng has shown favor to himself many times and turned a blind eye.

But Gong Wei Si is bound to win!

And Sun Zheng, who is in the center of the storm of the change of imperial power, is also very difficult, he has been up and down for many years, and naturally sees the current situation clearly, Yu Wenyao is so strong, and has repeatedly promised high-ranking officials Houlu, as long as he will give Gong Weisi both hands, all this is hand-to-hand.

Every time he wavered, the figure of a woman in red unconsciously appeared in his mind, no matter how many difficulties she encountered, she could always adhere to her principles and maintain her original intention.

The study of Sun Zheng's mansion.

After nightfall, the cold moonlight spilled into the room through the window, and Sun Zheng, who was slightly drunk, held a cup in one hand and a pot in the other, poured himself a drink, and borrowed wine to kill his sorrows.

His face was full of sadness, and today he had received Yu Wenyao's ultimatum, if he was "stubborn" again, the family would lose their lives in vain. In fact, many of Gong Weisi's subordinates were bought by Yu Wenyao, and it won't be long before he will be set aside.

And then he will be eliminated at an opportune time, and everything will fall into place.

Suddenly, a fresh breeze blew outside the house, with a little fragrance, which did not belong to his mansion, but was unusually familiar.

"Who?" Sun Zheng shouted violently, only to see two black figures rushing in from the window. Maybe it's because the alcohol numbs the brain, but the hand that draws the sword is half a beat slower!

As soon as his hand grasped the hilt of the sword, a long sword was already resting on his neck.

"Brother Zheng, I haven't seen you for many days, why is it that you are drinking at home alone?" The person who came was none other than Xiao Wenjun and Wang Jiuyuan!

"Nine abysses? Lord of Lanling? You're back! Sun Zheng's originally frowning brows suddenly relaxed, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly responded.

"Brother Zheng, I heard that you don't want to do it?" Wang Jiuyuan didn't have the intention of catching up with him, and opened his mouth to get straight to the point.

Now all the official mansions and their relatives in Kyoto are watching everyone's every move under the eyes of Yu Wenyao. Especially in Wang Ge Lao's mansion, Xiao Wenjun's various industries are being targeted the most.

However, Wang Ge Lao has always said that he has not been in court for a long time, and Yu Wenyao has not moved him for the time being.

Sun Zheng's mansion is also the most important thing to be monitored, and the two of them have a lot of work to sneak into his study. According to the information collected by the Shadow Pavilion, the two were sure that the only person they could rely on at the moment might be Sun Zheng alone! But they can't confirm that this Sun Zheng is friend or foe?

"Humph! My Sun Zheng is the supreme official of the Gong Wei Division, but he has always been loyal to His Majesty! Sun Zhengyi said indignantly: "If my brother can't trust me, he can stab me to death with a sword, anyway, I won't help the abuse, and be the sinner of the ages!" ”

"Jiuyuan, the situation is urgent, don't tease Brother Zheng anymore!" Xiao Wenjun wanted to press down the long sword in Wang Jiuyuan's hand, but found that Wang Jiuyuan's hand did not move at all.

"Brother Zheng! It's not that my little brother can't trust you, but this matter is not trivial! This medicine is called 'Rotten Heart Pill', and if there is no antidote from me, I will die in three days!" Take it, and I'll trust you! Wang Jiuyuan took out a brown medicine bottle from his sleeve pocket and put it on the desk.

"Jiuyuan, you ......" As soon as Xiao Wenjun opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Wang Jiuyuan raising his hand.

"If you don't want to take it, then no wonder the little brother will kidnap you, and after the matter is done, I will release you!" Wang Jiuyuan stared at Sun Zheng with burning eyes.

"Needless to say! You kid is the most oily tongue on weekdays, I can't trust you; But I can trust the Lord of Lanling! With that, Sun Zheng looked at Xiao Wenjun with a straight face, and swallowed the pill in one gulp.
