The lights were still on in the main residence, but Ou Xixi was still sleeping. It was three quarters past the hour, and it was only an hour before dawn.

Xia Muyan didn't return to the bedroom, and she knew that King Yun's Mansion must be acting tonight.

The success or failure of this night will determine the outcome and determine life and death.

has been with Xia Muyan for the past 20 years, and her understanding of her husband is far beyond others. If you want to fight for the storage position, you must investigate life and death, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed. Xia Muyan had already made a plan to die in his heart, and so did Ou Xixi.

However, she was still a little worried, a little nervous, and a little confused tonight. She couldn't stop thinking, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy it became. When she was restless, she copied the scriptures, which she learned from Xia Muyan.

At this time, she was copying "Zhile" by candlelight-

"The noble husband and wife are day and night, thinking about whether it is good or not, and its form is also negligent! Human life is also born with sorrows. The long-lived are sorrowful, and they will not die for a long time, so what is the suffering! The form is also far away! The martyrs are good for the world, and they are not enough to live. I don't know the sincerity of goodness, sincerity and evil, honesty and evil, if I think it is good, it is not enough to live, and if I think it is not good, it is enough to live. Therefore, it is said: 'If you don't listen to your advice, don't fight.' Therefore, the master and the son fight for it, and destroy its form, and if it is not disputed, it will not become famous. What the world does and what it enjoys, I don't know the fruit of happiness, the fruit is not happy, I look at the pleasure of the world, and those who are interested in the crowd are as if they are about to have to do it, and they are all said to be happy, and I am not happy, nor is I unhappy. Is there any joy in the fruit? I am sincere and happy with nothing, and the vulgar is also very bitter. Therefore, it is said: 'There is no joy in happiness, and there is no reputation in honor.' 'The rights and wrongs of the world are uncertain. Although, inaction can determine right and wrong. To live happily, only to do nothing. Please try to say: the sky is clear without action, and the earth is peaceful with nothing. Therefore, the two actions are combined, and all things are incarnated. There is no way to get out of it! It is like a mang, and there is no image! All things are in office, and they are all cultivated from nothing. Therefore, it is said: 'Heaven and earth do nothing, and nothing does nothing.' 'How can a man do nothing?'

For women, "fight or not, do not fight" are all from the husband's family. Ou Xixi thinks that he is tranquil by nature and wants to be cleared, and he never thought of entering the palace once and being the mother of the world. However, knowing that Xia Muyan had the heart to seize the reserve, she never dissuaded her.

If the husband wants to fight, I will fight. If the husband wants to do something, I will do it.

So, she did not hesitate to write to her father, who had always held the middle of the story, "The prince was the first to follow the etiquette law, but he couldn't do it, and he was in a miserable situation." The daughter thinks that although the father is not a party fighter, he should not allow his daughter's family to be bullied and take the throne by others..."

There is no greater love in the world than giving. If it is a beloved, it can give up its attachment, it can give up its life, and it can give up everything.

"Xixi, you haven't stopped yet?" Xia Muyan pushed the door in and asked gently.

In fact, even if he doesn't ask, he knows it in his heart.

"Hehe, I'm not sleepy yet. Ou Xixi put down the wolf and put away the paper inkstone, walked to Xia Muyan's side, and chuckled, "Xixi has the idea of stroking the qin at the moment, can the prince have Yaxing to listen to it?"

Knowing a husband is a wife, and his heart is clear before he speaks.

Xia Muyan held her a pair of soft wattles and said with a smile: "God-given tide is really lucky for me!"

The two of them held hands and walked slowly towards the pavilion.

... ...

"The eldest brother in the city, Mei Yuanchen, who is in the Salt Transport Administration of Xia County, has an urgent matter to enter the city. Mei Yuanchen stood still at the foot of Jinzhou City, and reported to the city wall.

He came all the way from the Saucer River, and he never stopped except to let the horse drink water twice.

After about seven or eight breaths, a head poked out of the city wall and shouted loudly downward: "Mei Gongzi, I know you." You can't open the city gate at this time without seeing the military order, and the son is excellent in martial arts, so he jumps up to the city tower!"

If you do not open and close the city gate in accordance with the regulations, it is a violation of the military order, and you may be charged with some crime.

Mei Yuanchen's martial arts have spread all over Jinzhou, especially in the military camp.

Previously, Mei Yuanchen had led more than 1,000 generals from the Jinzhou garrison camp to Shatuo to burn the enemy's grain camp, and then led them to fight against Chihedan's army outside Suzhou. These generals have naturally seen his skills, and none of them do not admire, and when they come back, they can't help but boast to the rest of the robes.

"Don't bother to open the door, I'll jump on the wall. Mei Yuanchen replied.

As soon as the guard heard those words, he felt someone tap him on the shoulder, and he almost jumped in shock.

"Everyone says that this Mei Gongzi is good at martial arts, but I didn't expect that the light skills would be in such a situation? ”

Mei Yuanchen had a thought in his heart, and he didn't want to delay more, so as soon as he came up, he said to the guard: "Brother Shoucheng, my mount can't come up, can you lend me a horse?"

"Naturally. However, I will report to the garrison general's mansion at that time, so please forgive me. The guard said with some embarrassment. After all, military horses are military assets, and every entry and exit of the accounts must be recorded in detail.

"I take care of this, thank you!" Mei Yuanchen said gratefully.

In the faint starlight, a horse galloped westward, and the sound of horses' hooves of "click! click!" was especially clear in the empty streets.

... ...

After tying up Hu Xiu'an, Xia Chengxuan returned to the house, and Duan Wang, Xia Chenghuan and others were waiting for him in the main hall.

King Duan asked softly, "Have you taken Hu Xiu'an?"

"Hmm. Xia Chengxuan nodded and replied, and sat down on the main seat after speaking.

"Now let's see what the other two are like...", the old king muttered with his cane.

... ...

"Stop them!" Xu Dingping waved his serpentine halberd, pointing at the Ma Dushan Department who were swarming up.

The battle for the throne is a battle of life and death, Xu Dingping knows it, and Ma Dushan also knows that after the defeat, not only the people above will not survive, but the generals who follow behind will definitely die. Therefore, since he was determined to stand on the side of King Yun's Mansion, he knew that he had no way out, and tonight was regarded as a lifelong effort.

"The father and son of the Xu family who killed the two wings for Lao Tzu!" Ma Dushan shouted at the people around him, "Whoever kills the other party's main general will be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver!"

The two armies confronted each other outside the city for several days, and naturally knew the roots, and Ma Dushan vaguely recognized that it was Xu Dingping's father and son who resisted his army on both wings.

As soon as his words fell, hundreds of horsemen rushed to the place where Xu Dingping and Xu Hanshan were located, obviously rushing for ten thousand taels of silver.

Xia Jingyu's troops had already entered the city pass, and Xu Hanshan was leading people to cover the two or three thousand people on the left side of the city into the city, and suddenly felt that there were more enemies in front of him, and there were more and more of them.

"Protect the young general!" Xu Hanshan's men and horses also hurriedly gathered around him, chanting.

For a time, nearly 1,000 people crowded into a circle of tens of zhang square and fought.

"Intercept them! Intercept them! Hurry up, follow up, rush into the city pass! Quick!" Seeing that almost all of Xia Jingyu's troops had entered the city pass, Ma Dushan was anxious and roared loudly.

If you can't stop it outside the city, you can only chase it to the city.

Du Chong saw that it was not good, the people in the military camp of the capital city followed closely behind Xia Jingyu's department, and they were about to rush to the city gate.

If more than 50,000 people were killed in the city, a bloody battle in the inner city would be inevitable, and I don't know how many innocent people would be affected at that time.

"Off... City... Door!" Du Chong yelled loudly.
