In the past few days, the development of the situation has indeed been as Liu Yu expected. As the news of the emperor's disappearance spread, the hearts of the people in Chang'an City gradually became unstable. Pei Yuan, the secretary of the military department, simply hid at home in the name of recuperation, and heard that he was secretly packing up and preparing to escape from the city with his family.

As for the three provinces of Hubu Shangshu and Liu, it is even more prominent, and this person no longer has any good feelings towards Dali Temple since he was disappointed in Liu Yu. Liu San Province secretly instructed the household department to stop distributing materials and food to Dali Temple, and at the same time vigorously publicized the news of the emperor's departure to the cabinets. The impurity of the motives can be imagined.

Xiao Heda learned about these actions of Liu San Province through the eyeliner he set up in the household department, and he wanted to remove Liu San Province with the help of his eyes and ears, but was vetoed by Liu Yu. At this moment, in Liu Yu's heart, a mere Chang'an City is no longer important. The important thing is how much prestige he can win for the Sword Sect with this city as a bargaining chip.

In addition to these court officials on the surface, even the people in the Xie Party came to visit Dali Temple more and less. Liu Yu couldn't help but feel like a mirror, he thought that he had firmly controlled the government, but he didn't expect that all these rights didn't really belong to him. The power he desperately held in his hands flowed through his fingers like flowing water, and no matter how hard he tried to make up for it, it would be to no avail.

At the same time, in order to stabilize the hearts of the rebels, Huang Chao outside the city attacked Chang'an City more and more frantically. Yan Lie and the others seemed to have lost interest in continuing to defend the city, and even the generals under him began to disobey the dispatch of Dali Temple.

Last night, Chunmingmen had been broken by the rebels, and it was all thanks to Luo Jinhu, the leader of the Golden Tiger Gang, the monk hall master, the monk hall, He Weigui, the master of the Sword Hall, and Li Jing, the pioneer of the Women's Army, who led a group of people from the rivers and lakes to work hard, which solved the danger of breaking the city and drove out the rebels who entered the city.

Afterwards, Yan Lie came to Dali Temple and said in a rather guilty tone that he wanted to lead his army out of Chang'an City to find the whereabouts of the emperor. Having said that, Liu Lie's heart was like a mirror, he knew that these generals who had lost the spiritual support of the emperor had lost their fighting spirit, and Yan Lie was just looking for an excuse for his escape.

However, Yan Feng is not like his father, and often comes to Liu Yu to express his allegiance, and bluntly says that he will lead the Shence Army to protect Dali Siqing until the last moment. In this regard, Liu Yu could only smile bitterly, Yan Feng led the Shence Army for a very short time, and did not establish much prestige. At the same time, his father Yan Lie is the real boss of the Shence Army, and he is an old Jianghu, so he easily plays this son around. It is because no matter how Yan Feng is loyal to Liu Yu, there are not many people in his hands, and it is difficult to mention it.

Faced with this situation, Liu Yu felt a loneliness in his heart that he had never felt before. Although he expected it to happen, when it did happen, he still felt very uncomfortable. A feeling of never really being relied upon and trusted, with a feeling of extreme disappointment spread in his heart.

Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the trees falling down, the birds and beasts scattering, is his truest view of these people.

Liu Yu couldn't help but confide in Xiao Heda about his thoughts, "These people may never want to be loyal to the country, they only have the emperor in their hearts." ”

Xiao Da had a relaxed look on his face, "The emperor can give them wealth and officials, but what can the state give them, is it to be buried on the battlefield and shrouded in horse leather and return? Everyone wants to be paid for their own efforts, the emperor can give them these, but the country cannot." ”

Liu Yu sighed heavily, "Even if everyone gives up Chang'an City, the Sword Sect will not. I'll lead everyone to the end!"

Xiao Da was quite surprised when he heard this, "Didn't the head of the sect say that Chang'an City is a place of projectiles, not where your life's ambition lies, and it will be just a bargaining chip in the future, why do you have to pay all your strength for such a place, and in the end you can't please it?"

Liu Yu looked at him solemnly, "Only Chang'an, which is not abandoned, can become a bargaining chip, otherwise it is nothing." Do you think I have a crush on those civilian and military generals, to tell you the truth, they are not in my heart. What I want is the hearts of the people, the hearts of all the people, and all this will start from Chang'an City!"

Xiao Heda shook his head slightly, "No matter how brave the head of the sect is, it is tantamount to a fantasy to use hundreds of men and horses of the head of the sword sect to confront the 600,000 army of the Yellow Nest. ”

Liu Yu looked at Xiao Heda coldly, "You haven't experienced it, how do you know that I can't do it, and please don't mess with my people's hearts!"

Xiao Heda had never seen the palm of his hand so aggressive, so he quickly restrained his face and said, "The subordinates are just talking nonsense, everything has to be decided by the boss!"

After thinking for a moment, Liu Yu said slowly: "It's time to raise the banner of the Sword Gate!"

He didn't stop doing it, and announced the change of flag on the same day, and asked the military advisor Xiao Heda to discuss it.

Liu Yu had already figured out that only everything he obtained under the banner of the Sword Gate really belonged to him, and he would not be easily taken away by others in various disguised ways.

The next day, Liu Yu announced the matter to the officials in the lobby of Dali Temple. Deputy Qing Dong Neng knew that all his wealth and wealth were tied to Liu Yu, not to mention that he and Liu Lao Xue had long been in love with father and son, so he happily led most of the officials of Dali Temple to join the Zhangjian Sect.

As for the rest of the Dali Temple officials who were unwilling to join the Zhangjianmen, there were about less than one percent, and Liu Yu remembered the old feelings, and issued a sum of silver respectively, ordering them to go home to make a living by themselves, and they had nothing to do with the Zhangjianmen again.

The so-called people have their own aspirations, Liu Yu understood these former colleagues who chose to leave, and personally sent them out, at this time a carriage slowly drove along the streets and alleys in the direction of Dali Temple. The curtain of the carriage was made of the latest fancy satin, and it looked like it was used by women.

The carriage passed through the crowd, drove straight in front of Liu Yu, and slowly stopped. A hand poked out along the crack of the curtain, slender and white, and the posture was as graceful as a flower, so that I couldn't help but stop breathing, as if I had seen the most wonderful thing in the world.

I saw that the hand lifted the curtain of the car, revealing a face that was overwhelming the country and the city, and the outside of the Dali Temple, which was originally very noisy, suddenly quieted down.

Xiao Heda stood in the crowd, looking at this face from a distance, and thought, "No one can keep their composure in front of this face, not even Yanagishita Megumi." There are many gentlemen in the world, but how many can be called gentlemen in front of this face?"

Lang Yu stood beside him, and saw that he looked stupid, how could he not know what he was thinking, so he pursed his mouth in disgust and twisted his arm hard, "Nymphomaniac, right!?"

Xiao Da came back to his senses at this time, "Where, where!"

Liu Yu watched the woman get out of the carriage, and her breathing couldn't help but become heavy. He looked at Xie Duyan, who was not wearing a veil and hat in front of him, "Why are you here?"

Xie Duyan smiled gently, "I heard that the Sword Sect has opened, I want to join, how about it?"

Liu Yu's heart moved, and after a slight groan, he said: "You represent not only yourself, but also a large group of Xie party members. I'm afraid those people don't look down on me, a small sect of rivers and lakes, and I'm afraid they won't be happy when you come here. ”

Xie Duyan looked at him with a smile, "Wouldn't they be happy if I didn't come, I've been thinking about this for a long time." You never said it, but I know that sooner or later it will happen. Ever since I decided to join the Sword Sect, I've been alone. ”

She then said: "Your advisors are all men, although they are far-reaching, but after all, they are not as careful as women, maybe I can help you do something they can't do!"

Seeing that she was so sincere, Liu Yu simply stopped refusing, "Since this is the case, I will appoint you as the chief servant of the Sword Gate, the chief of internal affairs, and participate in the military with the army division and the big sacrificial wine, how about it?"

"I do. Xie Duyan said with a smile.

Xiao Heda felt a little uncomfortable in his heart after listening to it, he was well versed in the culture of the Central Plains, and knew that this "servant shooting" was a word derived from the Xianbei language by the Tang people, and its meaning was the prime minister, which was much higher than his military advisor. This Xie Duyan had never been in the Sword Sect for a day, and it really made him feel jealous that he could get such a high position.

Even Lang Yu couldn't help muttering: "The boss is fascinated by beauty!"

For a woman like Xie Duyan, who was far more beautiful than her, she couldn't feel jealousy in her heart, but more of a bitter taste.

Xiao Heda sighed lightly and didn't speak, but said in his heart: "Before the head of the family rules the world, he has begun to divide the power of the people under him. ”

He knew that this was a process that the king had to go through, but it was still a little frustrating for him to have happened to him. The sword gate was created by him, but he didn't think that today he had the feeling of making a wedding dress for others.

"Hehe, it's getting more and more interesting!" Di Xin appeared behind Xiao Heda at some point, "Strategist, right?"
