The Liang army marched for a whole day before reaching Taozhu City. It was past the hour to close the gates, but they were still open.

Under the city, Luo Hong asked: "Your Highness, why does this look like no one?" Will there be fraud? ”

Xiao Yunyan ordered: "Go in and have a look." ”

A group of advance marchers entered the city, and after half a cup of tea, they came back to report: "Your Highness, the people in the city are doing everything as usual, but there is no new Xia army. ”

On the contrary, everyone did not dare to enter easily, and suddenly someone said: "It's not that there is no New Xia Army, knowing that His Highness's two groups of people and horses came from the southeast city respectively, our New Xia army retreated to the northwest city." As the man spoke, he floated into everyone's sight, Xiao Yunyan looked at the person who came, and saw that he was dressed in cloth clothes and carrying a cloth bag in his hand.

"Lu Zhongjian." Luo Hong, who was beside Xiao Yunyan, asked, "Mr. Leng, what does he mean by this?" ”

Mr. Leng also looked at him with a puzzled expression, but saw Lu Zhongjian walking straight towards Xiao Yunyan, and said, "The foreign minister has seen His Royal Highness King Ji. ”

"Master Lu, what do you mean by this?"

"Your Highness has been tired all the way, you must be tired, Your Highness is new to here, and if you are not familiar with the people in this place, the foreign ministers have the courage to arrange a place for Your Highness to stay, can you appreciate it?"

"That's naturally good, there is Lao Luxiang."

"Your Highness, please—"

At this time, Lu Zhongjian caught a glimpse of Mr. Leng on the side, so he took Mr. Leng's hand and said: "Lu has always felt that he and Mr. Leng are late to see each other, you see, I specially brought this year's newly picked Qizhou tea, the best products, tonight the two of us make tea around the stove, talk at night, sleep together, okay?" ”

"Lu Xiang is only able to learn, Leng has always been respected, and it is a lifelong blessing to be able to get Lu Xiang's teachings, so it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate." After that, the two of them walked together in the Liang army's team lively.

Luo Hong looked at this posture and quietly reminded on the side: "Your Highness, will there be fraud?" ”

"It's okay, no one will give up Lu Zhongjian in Xinxia, since he came alone, he said that he came to be a hostage for us, as long as you two keep Lu Zhongjian in mind, then we can sit back and relax."

Luo Hong suddenly realized and nodded solemnly, "Yes." ”

The group turned a corner, and walked to a high-gate mansion, and suddenly saw a scribe suddenly appear and say to Xiao Yunyan, who was surrounded by everyone: "Foreign Minister Tao Zhu Taishou Xu Wuyan has seen His Royal Highness King Ji. If Your Highness does not dislike it, please stay here tonight. ”

Xiao Yunyan got off the horse and walked in under the guidance of Xu Wuyan, Xu Wuyan said with a smile: "This is the house of the King of Suiyang in the past, the King of Pingning and the princess they lived here last night, and when they heard that His Royal Highness came down today, they couldn't bear to cut their love." ”

He brought Xiao Yunyan into the main room, Xiao Yunyan pretended to be casual and asked, "What, this shouldn't be the room where a woman lived, right?" ”

"This is the main hall, where King Pingning lived."

Xiao Yunyan let out an "oh" and said, "This king is tired, so let's rest first." ”

"Yes, then the foreign minister will not disturb His Highness."

……

The next day, Xiao Yunyan got up and saw that the Luo brothers were there, so he asked, "What, what about Mr. Leng?" ”

Luo Hong replied: "Your Highness, don't worry, you can't run, I chatted with Lord Lu in the back yard until dawn last night, and I was still asleep at this time." ”

"What are you talking about?"

Luo Hong was not angry again, and replied: "I talked about the affairs in Beijing, mentioned Sihong, mentioned the Twelve Princes, mentioned Lord Yang and Lord Xu, and mentioned everything, but I didn't mention what should be mentioned." ”

Luo Hu asked rhetorically: "What should be mentioned?" ”

"Of course it is-" Luo Hong suddenly saw the cold light in Xiao Yunyan's eyes, and immediately swallowed the words in his stomach raw, and said: "When you mention what to do in the past, you should at least look forward, and you should talk about what to do in the future." What's going on now? Are we in an alliance with them or what? Are they the Lord and we are the guests, or are we the Lord and they are the guests? ”

Xiao Yunyan only said: "Let the soldiers outside the city enter the city in batches to patrol the city." With that, he himself went out.

"Where is Your Highness?" Luo Hong followed him closely.

"I heard that this city is also quite prosperous, you and Luo Hu follow this king out for a walk." Luo Hu saw that his face was gloomy, and he didn't seem to have such leisure and elegance at all, and he couldn't guess what he was going to do for a while, so he just answered "yes" and went out.

The three of them, dressed in casual clothes, sat down in the most prosperous restaurant and watched the people coming and going in the market. From time to time, a diner at a table next to him said, "Have you heard about Liang Jun's entry into the city last night?" ”

Someone next to him pointed to a team of Liang Jun who happened to be patrolling the city and said, "Look, isn't this patrolling the city?" ”

Someone complained, "This is something that has never happened before!" There are two armies in a city, we were still Ning people a few days ago, and we turned around and became Xinxia people, it's only been a few days, won't we become Liang people again? ”

"Chengliang people? Phew! Lao Tzu is not affected by this nest of gas, Lao Tzu is cheap, and I am also a person from Daning. He said, his voice getting quieter, "Even if you are not a Ningren, you can be a Xinxia person, why don't we vote for the Xinxia Army, at least, this Pingning King is also surnamed Helian, and the princess is still the pearl of the first emperor." ”

Someone reminded him, "Be quiet, Liang Jun is nearby." ”

"Are you going to do that? If it doesn't work again, we will do it ourselves. I heard that Xiao Yunyan lives in Suiyang Palace, see if I dare to assassinate him. ”

When everyone heard this, they asked him to speak quietly, and at this time Luo Hong stood up, walked towards them, and asked the man, "Then do you know King Ji?" ”

"I know myself." As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Hong, and when he saw that he was physically strong and majestic, he asked, "This strong man, do you dare to follow him?" ”

Luo Hong laughed a few times, and suddenly shouted again: "Come up." From time to time, a group of Liang soldiers came up, and Luo Hong ordered: "Arrest these people." ”

.......

It was already twilight, Helian Yi was in the city tower, and when he saw Liang Jun even coming to inspect her, he was both angry and helpless for a while. After a while, many people flocked to the city, all looking up at her, and suddenly knelt down again. Helian Yiqi said: "Qi Yue, go to the city and see what they are doing?" ”

"Yes." Qi Yue went to a cup of tea, then came back and said, "Princess, something big has happened." ”

"The people in the city had disrespectful words to King Ji, and King Ji ordered people to arrest him on the charge of rebellion, and their family members heard about this and went to intercede, and King Ji also imprisoned their families, and whoever went, he would lock them up. In this way, more and more people were arrested, and now the people in the city are panicking, and they dare not speak out. ”

"How so?" Helian Yi hurriedly lowered the city wall.

When the people saw her coming down, they knelt on the ground and begged each other, and everyone said a word, Helian Yi didn't know what they were talking about.

Qi Yue shouted to everyone: "You say it one by one, otherwise the princess can't hear clearly." He pointed to the first one and said, "You speak first." ”

It was a woman in her forties, and the woman cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Princess, this morning Liang Jun arrested my husband without saying anything, my husband didn't do anything, didn't say anything, just because Liu Fusheng often came to our store to eat tea." ”

Helian Yi was unclear and asked, "Who is Liu Fusheng?" ”

At this time, some Xinxia officials heard about what happened here, and they all came over, and a civil official said to Helian Yi: "Princess, Liu Fusheng accidentally collided with King Ji of Daliang in the restaurant yesterday and was arrested, and later, all the people in the restaurant were arrested by King Ji, which is not enough, anyone who has something to do with Liu Fusheng, Liang Jun will arrest them together." ”

"How many people were arrested?"

"It's nearly a thousand, and it's still being caught."

"Thousands?" Helian Yi knew that Xiao Yunyan and Xiao Yunsheng brothers had always been kind to the people, and even the royal family of the Wuyu clan could always tolerate it. With Xiao Yunyan's resourcefulness, he would not have done such a stupid thing at this time, but now that he has done it, this move is undoubtedly aimed at himself.
