King Cheng had been in the dynasty for many years, and the reason why he was able to be domineering and domineering was all condoned by Emperor Zhao.

The people who cling to the powerful and dignitaries dispersed in a hurry, and King Cheng was trapped in the palace of Chengwang, his actions were blocked, he was angry, and he was even more unwilling to accept the possible fate of defeat.

However, even though King Cheng was already in a state of desperation, there were still people who were loyal to him, so his message was successfully sent to Liu Shang Shufu.

Because of Princess Cheng's relationship, Liu Shangshu is very close to King Cheng. Today's turmoil with King Cheng, Liu Shangshu was already worried that he would not be able to protect himself, and left the Ministry of Works early.

King Cheng's message was delivered, and Liu Shangshu stayed in the study and paced repeatedly.

If it really does act as King Cheng ordered, it will be a rebellion. If it succeeds, it will go to the sky in one step. If it fails, the entire Liu family will have to be buried with it.

King Cheng was the prince, even if Emperor Zhao came back to deal with him, he would not necessarily kill him, but he would not be merciful to Liu Shangshu.

Liu Shangshu didn't want to take everything in his heart, but King Cheng had many reasons for him, and it was extremely difficult for him to make up his mind.

Outside the study, Liu Shangshu's personal entourage was lying on the door when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the courtyard, and immediately stood up.

A maid came in with tea, and the entourage rolled her eyes, covered her stomach, and said, "My stomach is not good, leave the next son, you can help me watch here for a while, and if the lord has any orders, accept it."

The maid agrees.

The entourage then walked out quickly with his stomach covered, quietly went around to the back house, and reported something to Mrs. Liu.

After Mrs. Liu waved back her entourage, she sneered, "It's a great dream, but it's a pity..."

After speaking, she got up directly and went to Liu Shangshu's study.

That night, hundreds of people in black ran on the streets of the capital, and then separated on the side streets in front of the imperial city. A group of people went to the homes of officials in the DPRK and China, and a group of people went straight to the Ding Palace, and without hesitation, they climbed over the wall and entered.

King Ding is an ordinary person who is extremely tolerant. Today, he is complimented by all parties, and he puts on a banquet. Even if it was caused by the king's affairs, the capital was under martial law, and the banquet had to end halfway. .

In the atrium, there is still a banquet that has not been withdrawn. The wine smells like the sky, and the entire Ding Palace is completely defenseless.

A group of men in black climbed over the wall for the first time, but they didn't realize anything unusual, but after going deep into the palace of Ding Wang, they found that it was like entering a no-man's land, and they were suddenly shocked.

"It happened!"

However, it was too late for them to retreat. On the roof and wall, a dense array of archers appeared, drawing their bows, ready to shoot and kill everyone at any time.

Undoubtedly dead, unable to return to the sky.

The men in black looked back to back at the soldiers pouring in like a tide inside the door, and despair welled up in their hearts.

King Cheng wanted to act before Emperor Zhao knew the news from Beijing. It was too hasty, and there were only a limited number of manpower available. Almost half of the manpower dispatched was placed in Prince Ding's mansion, and the other group had to go to officials who had a choice. at home.

Some official mansions whose official positions are not important, as well as the small official mansions in Beijing, are not among the targets pointed by King Cheng. King Cheng only targets the right minister and a few important ministers who manage the court affairs of the recent Zhao Emperor.

pity…

Even if the right and other important officials are less sensitive in court affairs, the guards of their mansion are not vegetarians.

Among them, the Xie family guards reacted the fastest, and the people in black who were divided into several groups were immediately discovered as soon as they entered the Xie family. .

Other families responded quickly or slowly, and there were more or less casualties, but none of them were controlled by the men in black. In Prince Cheng's mansion, Prince Cheng sat alone in front of the hall, his heart was up and down.

The later the hour, the more his heart sinks and the more ugly his face becomes.

In the back house, Princess Cheng hugged Princess Weiyang tightly, and her expression became more and more desperate.

The first guard sent by Mrs. Xie, after leaving the city, rushed along the main road to the Beijing Academy, without encountering the young lady's carriage along the way.

When he arrived at the academy, it was already late, and he went straight to Ye Daru's small courtyard in the academy.

Ye Daru looked calm, and told the guard: "Mrs. Xie Shao sent someone to inform me earlier, and brought Lian'er and Xie's Xiaolang to Xie's Zhuangzi to stay for one night."

Hearing this, the guard felt a little at ease, so he handed over his farewell and rushed to the Xie family Zhuangzi.

He had to see the young lady before he could be completely relieved, and then returned to the lady, so he left the academy and went to the Xie family Zhuangzi without stopping.

The Zhuangzi of the Xie family was between the academy and the capital, but it was more than ten miles to the east, a little distance. The guards turned back and rushed to Zhuangzi.

The mansion of the Xie family farm has already slept, and there are only two lanterns left in front of the house.

The guard knocked on the door, and a sleepy and impatient male voice sounded inside the door: "Who is it?!"

"The main guard of the capital city."

As soon as the guard came up, there was a sound of "Hey Yo" in the door, hurriedly opened the door, nodded and bowed: "Xiao Xiao is confused, you must not be familiar with Xiao Xiao..."

The guard didn't care, and asked directly: "Can the young lady and Xiao Lang be here?"

The man guarding the gate looked blank, "Young Madam and Xiao Lang are not here..."

"what?!"

The guard was shocked and asked again, and after getting the same answer again, his face was extremely heavy.

When the gatekeeper saw this, he asked cautiously and apprehensively, "Did something happen?"

The guard said: "Call the steward to come out."

The man hurried in and called for someone, and the guard stepped through the door.

He had to go back to the academy to check, but if the young lady and Xiaolang-jun didn't see him, he had to report it to the mansion.

The strength of one person is extremely limited, so the guards summoned the people in Zhuangzi, sent someone back to Beijing, and brought other people with him to find people.

The matter in Beijing has not been reported, and the guards are not aware of what happened in Beijing. Naturally, they did not inform Ye Daru. When he appeared in the academy again, Ye Daru had already fallen asleep.

The guard woke Shutong and Ye Daru, and before he could explain, he hurriedly explained the situation.

It was only then that Ye Daru learned that after Mrs. Xie's young lady and her two children went down the mountain, they never went to Xie's Zhuangzi at all, but he did receive a letter...

The guards have been running around for a long time, and they are extremely tired. They still do not dare to delay.

There was also a nephew who was lost. Ye Daru was equally anxious, and immediately went to the academy to ask.

At this time, it was the beginning of the ugly period, when people were most sleepy, and the students were awakened. Because of Ye Daru, thinking back carefully, they still failed to give them the information they wanted.

The morning light was dim in the distance, and the guards and Ye Daru returned to the small courtyard with nothing. Just when they thought they couldn't find a clue, a gentleman's child got up early to read. Hearing that they were looking for someone, they pointed to a direction down the mountain and said: : "I saw them go over there to ride sheep."

The guard and Ye Daru looked at each other and immediately asked the child to lead them.

At the same time, the carriage that Yin Mingyu and the others were riding in traveled all night and finally stopped.

However, the carriage stopped, but there was no movement in the carriage, and the masked leader asked his subordinates to open the door.

The moment the car door opened, a few masked people looked at the three big and two children who were very sleepy inside, silent.

This can be sleepy, the Xie family is really unusual.

The head of the masked man didn't want to deal with the difficult young lady of the Xie family, but he had to wake her up coldly.

Jin'er and Yin'er were the first to wake up. When they opened their eyes, they woke up instantly. They glanced at the masked man outside the carriage door. They were afraid of waking up the two children in their arms, so they pushed their wife.

Yin Mingyu couldn't sleep well, even if he woke up, his face was full of irritability.

Anyone with long eyes could see that she was in a bad mood right now, but the masked people were speechless. Did she feel that she was being kidnapped? At this time, slap them in the face?

Yin Mingyu walked out of the carriage with an expressionless face, the first glance naturally fell on the tall door and courtyard wall in front of him, and the second glance at the surroundings, a meal.

There are mountains in the distance. At this moment, it is not lush and lush, but the mountains are undulating, and the general outline will not change easily.

After a long time, it was unfamiliar to her at first glance, but after a few more glances, the outline of the mountain was turned in a different direction in her mind, and she had some guesses in her heart.

Yin Mingyu's eyes drooped slightly drowsily, and he got off the carriage, without anyone's guidance, and strode toward the house door.

Jin'er and Yin'er each carried the sleeping child, got off the carriage behind her, and followed quietly.

The head of the masked man glanced at the iron chain that his subordinates took out, and waved his hand to signal them to take it in first.

And Yin Mingyu walked into the house without looking sideways, but actually saw the whole house in his eyes.

The guards in the house are extremely strict, basically five paces a person, everyone's equipment is very powerful, and all of them do not cover their faces.

This means that people don't take them seriously at all, relying on them, they can't break through these guards and escape.

That being the case, let's go with the flow.

Therefore, the sleepiness on Yin Mingyu's face became more and more undisguised, his eyes were half-closed, and he walked slower and slower, as if he could fall asleep at any time.

The head of the masked man was impatient and urged, "Hurry up."

Yin Mingyu glanced at him lazily, then slowly withdrew his gaze, walking faster, really just a little.

But she also drooped her eyebrows and muttered: "Since you will show your true face, what kind of face is covered, it's unnecessary..."

Masked man leader: "…"

This Mrs. Xie Shao is really good at it. Good people can teach her to become irritable, and bad people can also make her lose her temper.

The head of the masked man saw that the main hall was right in front of her. It was estimated that she might not be much faster if she urged her again, so she closed her mouth.

Yin Mingyu raised his eyes and forgot to glance at the more strict guards ahead. There was no change in his face, and he continued to walk forward with his eyes down.

When they walked to the door, Yin Mingyu saw at a glance the man in Chinese clothes standing with his back to the door, and then she looked at the strange old man in armor sitting on the chair with a golden sword.

It was an extremely dignified old man, with the aura of a military general all over his body, a pair of tiger eyes looked at him coldly, and he couldn't help but want to look away.

Yin Mingyu also looked away, and quickly lowered his head as if he had no backbone at all.

The old man frowned, feeling that Mrs. Xie Shao was a bit unworthy of her name.

At this moment, the man in Chinese clothes turned around.

Yin Mingyu raised his eyes and lowered his eyes, but he could see the man's face clearly, it was His Royal Highness King Ping of Daye.

Then the other... should be Duke Zhongguo.

Yin Mingyu's thoughts turned, and Fushen saluted, "I have seen His Royal Highness King Ping, I have seen Duke Zhongguo."

After she bowed her head, she stood quietly in the same place with her head down, without saying a word.

Jin'er and Yin'er also saluted with their wives, but they were holding the child and it was inconvenient to move, so they could only give a shallow salute.

The two maids focused more on the sleeping child in their arms. This was the tacit agreement of their master and servant, and there was no need to order them.

The King of Peace of the Xie family has some grudges.

But King Ping didn't put Xie Qin's wife in his eyes. At this time, he saw Mrs. Xie Shao's eyebrows lowered and pleasing to the eye, and his eyes flashed with disdain, but he kept his usual expression on his face. He didn't know what kind of answer he wanted, so he tried He asked, "Your Highness, should I find out, or not?"

She can be satisfied.
