"When parents mourn, don't marry" is an ancient system that has been inherited for thousands of years.

Xia Chengxuan became an adult and had no heirs, according to the etiquette system of this dynasty, he married Rui Xiaoling in a month after he ascended the throne and became the queen.

At this time, Rui Xiaoling was pregnant.

The jaw palace and the general have all experienced tragic events, and they finally just came out of the shadows, when the news of Xia Chengyi's poisoning came, and it was really unsettled.

In order to be closer to his sister, Xia Chengxuan lived in the eldest princess's mansion the next day, where he lived and managed.

The one who lived in it together was still Rui Xiaoling.

After Rui Rumin's accident, Xia Chengyi often accompanied her who had just gone to the General's Mansion to see her, and the two had already become good sisters.

"Your Majesty, state affairs are important, Yiyi's concubines here are watching, you go and get busy!"

He is the Emperor of Dahua, and except for her, the empress, few people dare to persuade him.

"Alas......"Xia Chengxuan exhaled heavily, didn't say anything, stood up and walked out quickly.

Of course, he knew the truth that state affairs were important, but he had no interest in doing anything when he saw his sister, who used to be lively and jumpy, lying on the bed with a pale face.

Rao is like this, he still forcibly cheered up, he still has a very important, very important thing to do.

Xia Muzhou came to the eldest princess's mansion early in the morning, and after letting the chief eunuch report that he had not received a reply, he waited honestly in the outer courtyard, and Xia Chengxuan saw him as soon as he came out.

"There's news from the Turks?"

... ...

The people below were all like great enemies, but Duanmu Yu was writing in the room by himself.

"Duanmu Jing, have you found the two teams of Zhu Xiaochen and Tong Gaoge?" This is the third time Mu Wei has come to ask.

Xie Tianyu had already personally led people out to find it, and in the meantime, he could only ask Duanmu Jing.

"Not yet. The Xu family also sent someone to investigate, thinking that news would come soon. Although Duanmu Jing said this in his mouth, his hands had already been clenched into fists, and he was obviously a little unable to sit still.

The person who can follow the emperor will never be a mediocre person, Zhu Xiaochen and Tong Gaoge have not come back for so long, in his opinion, something must have happened.

And it's never going to be a small thing!

"What did the young master say?"

Mu Huan replied angrily: "The young master only said, 'Calm down first, wait a while!' What time is this, how can we wait like this? I don't dare to ask more questions from the young master, Duanmu Jing, you have always been resourceful, tell me about the current situation." ”

The two were about to sit in the gazebo and talk in detail, but they heard a noise outside and hurriedly ran out.

There was a person standing in the courtyard, covered in blood, and two men in Tsing Yi supported him.

Duanmu Jing recognized this person as one of the people who went out with Tong Gaoge to explore the way this morning, and asked anxiously, "What happened to you?

He seemed to suddenly realize something, and hurriedly said to the guard who came over: "Send the order, keep an eye on the perimeter, and see that no one is coming." ”

The bloody man gasped and replied, "My lord, don't worry, I was escorted back by someone from the Xu family, and they have erased traces along the way, and they will never be able to find here." ”

He paused and answered Duanmu Jing's question: "After we explored the road to Chengguan, we found that the guards and guards there had changed, so we prepared to come back to report the news. But not long after leaving, he found a team of men in black following him. Mr. Tong deliberately led us to a remote place and lured them out. The other party knew that his whereabouts were revealed, so he fought with us, although there were not many of them, but they were all strong in martial arts, and we were not opponents. Mr. Tong was worried that he would delay the opportunity to report the news, so he ordered his subordinates and another person to go back to report the news first, and he took the remaining eight people to intercept the group of men in black. ”

At this point, his face throbbed a little, as if he felt that they were more than lucky.

"On the way back, the subordinate and the other person took a separate detour. My subordinates were worried that there were still people following me in the dark, so they walked the crowded road but still encountered three waves of attacks in succession, but fortunately, the people of the Xu family arrived in time to save me. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the two people beside him.

They followed the Turkic people all the way from Leizhou to Ruozhou, and Duanmu Jing, Mu Wei and the accompanying guards all knew each other.

"Two adults, we have people along the way, and they can't get in. The young man has already returned home, and the second master is about to come soon after getting the news. One of them was Duanmu Jing and Mu Yu said, "Xu Jiu led people to a few streets nearby, and the thieves couldn't find it." ”

Duanmu Jing nodded, looking worried. Mu Yu got the letter and went back to the house, obviously reporting that Muyu had gone.

... ...

In the martial arts circle of Sifangtai, Jiang Xiaobai started his fifth battle, and his opponent was an unknown ranger.

He looked to be in his early thirties, dressed in patched robes, and his face was a little pale.

"This hero, please report his name and source. The deacon of the martial school said with a smile.

The man shook his head, and replied, "When I win the little brother in front of me, it's not too late to report my name." ”

He spoke in a very slow tone, as if he wanted to bite every word clearly, and there was a thick bookish anger.

The deacon smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”

Although Jiang Xiaobai has won four games in a row, there is no color on his face, "This person is a master!"

He carefully observed this poor man, and vaguely felt that this person might be the strongest martial artist since today's preliminary competition, and couldn't help but show a shy smile. It's not often that you get the chance to compete with a master, and every time it's precious. Seeing that the other party had no blade in his hand, he also gave the deacon on the side: "I can't take advantage of you, since you don't have a blade, then we will compete with each other." ”

The man's eyes blinked a few times, nodded, and whispered to Jiang Xiaobai: "In this case, I will let you make ten moves first." ”

... ...

While the two were answering, Xu Xiaoshi had quietly walked to Xu Xiaoyu's side and whispered a few words in his ear. Xu Xiaoyu's face changed greatly, and he immediately got off the square platform with him.

No one from the thirteen major sects appeared today, and Xu Xiaoyu was not the head of the Xu family, so he didn't have to be there, and he didn't attract attention if he retreated halfway.

"When did it happen?" When he returned to the small courtyard, he asked anxiously, "Haven't any of the people we planted in the county government and the state capital summoned me?"

He has always believed that if Ruozhou has been run by the Xu family, it is impossible for anything to escape the eyes of the Xu family. Unexpectedly, he didn't get any information about the removal of the city defenders and patrolmen in advance.

"What's going on with the emperor?"

Xu Xiaoshi replied in a deep voice: "I just found out, the people were changed in the middle of the night last night, and they were taken to the Ruozhou garrison military camp overnight, and they were replaced by the Shenshao Battalion and the Zhijin Guard from the capital. The emperor's people went to explore the road in the morning, and when they found something abnormal, they rushed back to report the news, and they were tracked down and rescued by Xu Jiu and them. Yan Yan sent people to cover all the way, but they couldn't find anyone in the courtyard. ”

"How many people are in the capital?" Xu Xiaoyu asked again.

He was already preparing for the worst.

"The exact number is not yet known, but our men have seen from afar that the military camp in Ruozhou is surrounded by people, and the rough estimate is at least 20,000 people. ”

Xu Xiaoyu closed his eyes and pondered, and said for a long time: "We have to make preparations with both hands, no matter what, we must protect the emperor!"
