"My lord, the capital has sent someone to deliver an urgent letter!" Yin Chenghui hurriedly pushed open the door of Mei Siyuan's study and handed over his hand to report.

"Oh, where are the people?" asked Mei Siyuan as he put down the folded book in his hand and stood up. Du Chong sent an urgent letter, which meant that something big must have happened in the capital.

Seeing Mei Siyuan come out, Yin Chenghui took two steps back to get out of the way, and replied, "Lie down in the front hall room." When they arrived at the gate of the political secretary's office, the people and horses were already tired, and they obviously came all the way. ”

When Mei Siyuan heard this, his face became even heavier, and he walked quickly to the front hall.

Today, Mei Siyuan didn't dare to rest, and after seeing the two little babies in the house who had just reached the full moon in the morning, he entered the study. Xia Muchao went to Tianmen City to negotiate with the Shatuo people, leaving a lot of unfinished business, he is the head of Anxian, and he must stay in Jinzhou.

Anham is not peaceful. Since the excavation of the Blind Mountain Salt Field, all forces have infiltrated openly and secretly. In the more than a year since he took office, Mei Siyuan has been assassinated by outlaws countless times, but fortunately, his life has been preserved. After the Battle of Suzhou, the forces of the rivers and lakes had less respect for the imperial court, and the dart carts of the Anxian Salt Transport Administration Office had been repeatedly robbed, which was extremely rare in the past.

And several powerful high-ranking officials in the county government all have their own ghosts, and they are accustomed to disobeying yin and yang. They have been entrenched in Anham for a long time, and their relationship with each other is complicated, although Mei Siyuan's official rank is higher than theirs, after all, he is new and his foundation is still shallow, so he doesn't dare to do anything with them for a while.

What's more, Zhao Qianming, who was not far away, held 50,000 troops stationed in the northern part of the country, and he had already shown his rebellion.

Guo Zimu was originally a subordinate of Zhao Qianming, if he was bewitched by him for a while, and he actually attacked back, then An Xianke would change the sky. Therefore, Xia Muchao said that he would not allow Mei Siyuan to accompany him, and he took Lu Jianting, Zhou Xukuan and more than a thousand guards and hurried to the stone mountain of Tianmen City.

"What happened in the capital, why was the person in such a hurry, so tired that he fell down!" Mei Siyuan thought as he walked, and he didn't realize that he had arrived at the front room. The door was not closed, and there were two officials from the Salt Transport Administration guarding the house.

"My lord!" the two saw Mei Siyuan coming, and bowed their hands and said.

Mei Siyuan waved his hand and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Back to my lord, the man is just tired and has just fallen asleep. The older yacha replied.

"Well, got it. Mei Siyuan answered and went straight to the man's bed.

Yin Chenghui quickly stepped to the bed, bent down to pat the man, and called out in his mouth: "Hey, hey, that brother, you wake up first! Wake up, my Master Mei is here!"

The man was sleeping incense, and when he heard someone calling beside him in a daze, he looked at him, saw two figures, and hurriedly got up from the bed, and was about to salute but was stopped by Mei Siyuan. I heard him ask, "What news is there in the capital?"

The man hesitated for a while, blinked his bloodshot eyes, and asked softly: "Master Mei, I take the liberty of asking, can the prince be here? The prince has an order, and when he sees the prince, he will hand over this letter to the prince, and if the prince is not there, he will hand over this letter to the prince." The prince told the little one that the prince was the general in the station, and the little one went straight there when he arrived in Jinzhou. However, the guards said that the prince was not there, so I had to find the Yanyun Minister's Mansion. The prince said that this matter is not trivial, and it cannot be delayed, whether it is the prince or Lord Mei, when they see this letter, they naturally know what to do. He was on an errand in the Jaw Palace, so he naturally knew that Mei Siyuan was the most trusted person in Xia Muchao, but he didn't dare or forgot what Xia Chengxuan told him, and his first choice was to hand over the letter to Xia Muchao.

"The prince set off for Tianmen City three days ago, and I am afraid that I will not be able to come back for a while. If the prince has confessed, you can give me the letter!" Mei Siyuan said in a deep voice. He treated himself as Xia Muchao's best friend, and at this time he faintly felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't care about taboos.

"Since the prince is not here, the little one should give the letter to the adult. The man bowed. After finishing speaking, he untied his belt, groped on it, and then pulled it hard, tore the belt open, took out a bamboo tube the size of a finger, and handed it to Mei Siyuan, "This is the small letterbox handed over by the prince himself, Lord Mei, please see!"

Mei Siyuan took the letter box and pinched it hard. The letter tube cracked, and Mei Siyuan took out the paper roll inside and spread it out to take a closer look.

The letter didn't say much, but it described the general situation of the capital, Mei Siyuan's face became heavier and heavier, and his sword eyebrows became tighter and tighter, "King Yun, how can it be King Yun? He can secretly gather so many people!"

... ...

"No, you want to be supreme, and the three kings are all in the way. Since he sent someone to murder King Yi, he will naturally send someone to kill King Jaw..."Mei Siyuan thought of this section after thinking about it for a while, and couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, "Cheng Hui!"

"My lord!" Yin Chenghui responded.

"In a while, you will order another hundred people, and give me the east wing of the backyard to guard to the death, and none of the people inside are allowed to come out!" Mei Siyuan ordered in a cold voice. The east wing is occupied by the family members of He Houtang and Guo Zimu, and he has decided to rush to Tianmen City with Guo Zimu overnight, and there must be no mistakes here.

"The subordinates have orders!" Yin Chenghui replied loudly.

"Prepare the horse, go to the Jinzhou garrison barracks!" Mei Siyuan said to the yacha on the side. When the two heard this, they hurriedly retreated and hurried away.

... ...

Tianmen City is a remote state capital, with few people, and there may not be fireworks for a hundred or ten miles. The stone mountain in the northwest of the city is a deserted place that is rarely visited. Zhou Xu broadband people patrolled on the high (*) post, although they did not see anything abnormal, but they were faintly uneasy, "This place is full of big stones, and you can set up an ambush anywhere." There are only more than 1,000 people who have come with the prince here, and the situation is unobservable, and there are really many hidden dangers!"

"Lord Zhou, it's enough for us here, you go down, the prince and they should set off. A short-bearded man beside Zhou Xukuan said.

"It's okay, brothers, it's hard work. Let's hold on for another day or two, and stare the surroundings to death!" Zhou Xukuan nodded and said in a straight voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly appeared, "No! There is an enemy!" The warning was issued by an accompanying scout, who was standing on the highest point and looking into the distance.

"Where?" Zhou Xukuan's face changed drastically and asked in a trembling voice.

"Back to my lord, northeast, about forty miles away!" the scout came down from the top of the hill and reported.

"How many people are there?" Zhou Xukuan clenched his fists and asked again.

"Roughly about 40,000 or 50,000 people. The scout replied.

When Zhou Xukuan heard this, his body was shocked, and he hurriedly exhaled and breathed evenly, stabilizing his mind, "You stay here to supervise, and I will report to the prince!" After speaking, he stored strength on his feet and ran down the mountain quickly.

... ...

"Your Royal Highness, you are the prince. Like the hanging moon, I will allow you to kill yourself!" Bodhicitta took a sword from behind him and stretched out the hilt towards Xia Muren.

Ah Tong, Ping Bufan, Ping Buyong and others have all been killed, and at this moment, he is already alone. Any one of these people surrounded by them can take their lives.

Xia Muren got up from his chair, took a few steps forward, and walked to Ah Tong's side. Seeing Ah Hitomi's tragic condition, he couldn't stop crying, "Ah Hitomi, I will protect you in the next life!" After speaking, he took off his robe and covered him. Walking in front of bodhicitta again, he slowly drew his sword, "Good sword!" When he finished speaking, he was about to wipe it off his neck, but the blade of the sword had already reached his neck, but it suddenly stopped.

"Kill Xia Muyan and avenge me!" Xia Muren finished saying this with a smile, and with a wipe of his sword, blood splattered three feet.
