The Pinan outpost was agitated, the horses were all saddled, and the soldiers were armed with guns.

However, from the face of each of the soldiers on duty on the shuttle patrol, you can see the obvious exhaustion. It has been half a month since they prepared for war, and they have been resting for three hours, even if their iron bodies can't withstand it.

After returning from the slaughter of the city in Beiye, Xia Chengcan ordered martial law on the border, and the Binan outpost was reorganized for war. The imperial court did not issue an order to send another chief general for a day, and Xia Chengxuan took the right to protect the main general of the south for a day.

First, he is the grandson of the current emperor, and he will soon inherit the title of the king of the county according to the system, and his status is very noble.

Second, he has taken over the golden order of the white-clothed army from Xia Muyang, and the court has issued a general document before, and the hundred officials of Pinan should be cheap.

Moreover, after the mutiny, the generals above the thousand men of the Pinan outpost were withdrawn as soon as they died, and all the vacancies were filled by the people sent by the king.

Because of these reasons, although Xia Chengcan made a big mistake, no one in the county Chinese Wu dared to disobey the half-sentence, he tried to raise money when he wanted money, and he tried his best to collect grain when he wanted grain.

"This is a ruthless master, and he must not touch his moldy head. Thinking of what he did in Beiye, the hundred officials of Pinan couldn't help but swallow their spit quietly, thinking, "More than 200,000 people dare to kill, which onion am I?"

After the news of the Beiye massacre spread, the government and the opposition and the market were in an uproar. It's not that I think Xia Chengcan is heinous, but it's hard to believe that a royal disciple who is less than twenty years old dares to personally lead a large army to attack the enemy city at night, and... Killed more than 200,000 people!

What a bold and domineering decision!

In the half month after the incident, Xia Chengcan also kept thinking, "Slaughtering Beiye, did I do something wrong?"

Wrong, naturally wrong.

"Duanfuzi taught the way to lead soldiers, and the first precept is to kill innocents in vain. It was the soldiers of the Turkic kingdom who harmed my father's king. ”

Do you regret that?

"A man is a man who does evil and is upright. If the mistake is made, there will be no complaints and no regrets, but I want to have an afterlife, an afterlife, and an afterlife, and make cattle and horses for the people of Beiye in my life to repay my debts in this life. Xia Chengcan thought in his heart.

I thought that after learning of the massacre, the Turkic country would raise troops to the north, yes, after returning to the camp of the army, Xia Chengcan ordered the whole army to prepare for martial law, but I didn't expect that more than 30,000 people waited for more than ten days, and still did not see half of the enemy soldiers.

"What are you thinking?"

Xia Chengcan couldn't figure it out for a while.

As he rubbed his beard and pondered, his own soldiers came up and bowed down to report: "Son, there is an urgent letter from the capital." ”

Letter?

Thinking that the reason for his father's murder was the three letters, Xia Chengcan was so angry that his fists turned purple and his eyes were red.

The soldiers bowed, their heads bowed, and the letter was held in both hands, although they couldn't see his description clearly, they already felt that something was wrong, and they were secretly complaining.

I don't want my hands to be light at this time, and the letter will be taken away. Yes, the moment Xia Chengcan took the letter away, the soldiers felt that their hands and even their whole bodies were suddenly light.

In the middle of the envelope is: Cheng Chan personally opened.

Xia Chengcan was not familiar with this handwriting, but he was a little curious, so he went to the fire paint and took out the letter.

There are only two lines on the letter:

The capital is in danger, and the conspiracy of King Yun's mansion is imminent. You and I are both in the blood feud, and the report is at this time.

Brother Pan will go north immediately and join forces to fight the thieves!

At the end of the letter, the name of the survey is: Seunghyun.

"It's Xia Chengxuan?"

... ...

The news that King Duan had not entered the palace to manage the government soon spread in the capital, and then, the fact that he was seriously ill was also widely known.

Emperor Yonghua is sick, the palace has spread the news that his life is on the verge of death, and now, the regent Duan Wang has also fallen, and there is no one in charge in the court, such a critical situation, a hundred years have not been seen.

In a dark room, several people sat around, and the candlelight was like fireflies, and their faces could not be illuminated.

"What do you think?" asked one of them.

For a while, everyone turned their heads to each other and discussed softly.

"The emperor and King Duan are both old, this time..." paused, and then said, "His Royal Highness King Yun is the only prince, and this support for the new lord is a great achievement, everyone!"

"What Lord He said is reasonable. ”

"Not bad!"

"The current situation in the court is so difficult, if His Royal Highness King Yun rules the ministers, he will definitely be able to turn things around!"

"Exactly. The court cannot be without an owner for a day, and Dahua cannot be without a king for a day. Historically, when the new lord ascended the throne, he would reward the first supporter, so why not...

"This... King Duan isn't dead after all?"

"This time, the senior monk of Kuzen Temple has already said that he has run out of oil and lamps, and he has no skills to return to the sky!"

"Don't wait any longer, when King Duan is angry, we will support His Royal Highness King Yun as the new king?"

"That's it, that's good!"

"Well, that's safe. ”

"Then it's decided, we all sign on this, and ask someone to send it to King Yun's mansion, so that His Royal Highness King Yun can prepare early!"

... ...

The four different surnames of Wang Qianshizi live in the capital, and the court will naturally not be slow. Not only is there plenty of daily use, but there is also a mansion built by Xingyuan, and there is Xia Ruren's handwritten imperial approval hanging at the door.

Today, it is rare for the four princes with different surnames to gather in the Ram Palace.

There were five people sitting in the hall, in addition to the four princes, there was also Ou Xiaoxiao, the son of General Chu Nan.

"Praise me, what do you think?" Zhuge Xingchen broke the dullness and asked openly.

However, I only looked at him and did not answer.

This matter is very important, not that he cowers, but as the prince of the palace, his words and deeds represent the position of the Ram Palace.

In today's situation, how dare he be casual?

The four of them are all protons, but they have always been led by the ram singing to me. First, the strength of the ram palace is the strongest, second, the ram praises me the longest, and third, the ram praises me for the longest.

Yes, but if there is a big event, the three of them will come to ask him, and I never shirk the praise of the ram.

Only this time.

Duanwang is the Duanwang of the imperial court, and with them, the students of Huazijian, he is just Duanfuzi. The master who taught everyone the way of being a man, the way of a minister, and the way of leading soldiers.

"Hmph, good Duanfuzi, suddenly became seriously ill, if you want to say that there is no conspiracy, I don't believe it!" Huangfu Tianzong got up from his seat and stood in the hall with a sneer.

After speaking, he looked at Ou Xiaoxiao directly. He was still young, and his words were a little less thoughtful.

"What do you want me to do?" Ou Xiaoxiao was already in a bad mood, and when he looked at him like this, he was angry and said coldly.

Huangfu Tianzong was not afraid at all, and scolded: "It's your brother-in-law Xia Muyan who made people do the pickled thing, what else are you here to ask!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" the ram scolded me.

Royal affairs must be carefully considered if they are well-founded, let alone such unfounded conjectures. As soon as Huangfu Tianzhong finished saying that, he felt that it was inappropriate, and after being warned by the ram, he woke up for a while, sat down honestly, and didn't look at Ou Xiaoxiao again.

"Xiaoxiao, the sky is fierce, the words are not thoughtful, don't go to your heart. "The ram sang to me, smiling and being a peacemaker.

This is the beginning of the month, and the superintendent is suspended from school as usual, and it is also the day when the four protons make an appointment to get together.

The four of them had already heard that Duanfuzi was seriously ill and were discussing it, but when they heard the report from the little girl, Ou Xiaoxiao came to the door.

Ou Xiaoxiao has been in the capital for four years, and he is also very familiar with everyone, and he is still a classmate of Zhizhitang, so there is no reason to turn him away.

It turned out that he wanted to inquire more about Master Duan's affairs, and everyone naturally discussed it, so Zhuge Xingchen asked the ram to praise me.

Ou Xiaoxiao waved her hand, signaling that she was not angry, and said to Huangfu Tianzhong: "Whether this matter has anything to do with King Yun's Mansion, I don't dare to say anything." However, I can only express my gratitude and admiration for Master Duan. My concern for Father and Son is from the bottom of my heart, just like yours. Farewell!"

When he finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves away.

"Xiaoxiao!

"Xiaoxiao!

The ram praised me, and the Baili Sword Intent was called back, but he should not either, obviously he had already made up his mind.

"Tianzhong, it's better to find a time to talk to him, after all, he has been a classmate for several years. "The ram praised me as the emperor Fu Tianzhong, "Today Xiaoxiao asked us about the master, and I believe that he has no malice." ”

Zhuge Xingchen couldn't help but talk, and said softly: "Tianzong, it's really a bit hurtful for you to doubt Xiaoxiao like this. We have known him for a long time, and I still believe in his personality. He has an older sister in the capital, and it is normal for him to run more often to King Yun's Mansion. Come to think of it, he may not know what King Yun is planning. Otherwise, he wants to know something, and he just asks King Yun if he can't get it, why bother to ask you and me. ”

"Yes, I'm really talking nonsense. When I return to the prison tomorrow, I will compensate him. Huangfu Tianlong's face showed remorse and replied softly.

Out of the Zhuge Palace, Ou Xiaoxiao drove straight to the restaurant. Seeing that his face was pale, the servant who followed him was worried about what evil he had done, and followed him closely.

Fortunately, he just ordered wine and food, and ate and drank alone.

"Little Er, serve the wine!"

The guy who ran the hall listened to this call, and hurriedly went upstairs with a jar of craft brewing "Baicao Xian".

The small cup can't be fun, and people bring a big bowl. Tear open the wine seal and pour it full, then take another sip and dry.

"Baicao Xian" is a famous and good wine, but today Ou Xiaoxiao is more and more bitter and sour the more he drinks.

"Now everyone says that the brother-in-law killed the King of Yi, the King of the Jaw, and the King of Zhen, how is this possible? The brother-in-law has always been an elegant person who likes to copy scriptures and play the piano, how can he do such a ruthless thing? How could a brother-in-law do such a thing? And his brother-in-law has never been favored, so where did he do such a thing? Impossible!

"Gollum... "Gollum" is another big bowl of wine to drink.

Countless questions were in my heart, which overwhelmed Ou Xiaoxiao.

"No, I will also go to King Yun's Mansion today and ask my brother-in-law for clarification in person. Ou Xiaoxiao put down the wine bowl, hurriedly rushed down the restaurant, turned over his horse, and rushed towards King Yun's mansion.

"Hey... Guest, come back, come back, you haven't paid yet!" the shopkeeper hurriedly chased out of the restaurant, shouting loudly behind him.

... ...

"Come back! Come back!" An Ruqing chased out of the mansion and yelled desperately, "Xu Yiye, you come back for me!"

Seeing that he had gone far on the snowy owl, he was so angry that he picked up a stone and threw it vigorously in the direction where he had disappeared.
