After the incident in Tianmen City, Mei Siyuan has been thinking heavily. He is worried about the difficulties of his family and country, and is also sad about the death of his best friend. His temples are stained like frost, and his forehead has ridges. How can he still be as high-spirited as two years ago?
Seeing her husband grow old almost overnight, Baili felt pain in her heart and anxiety in her eyes. However, every time his beloved wife tried to comfort her, Mei Siyuan would always smile and reply: "Si sister, I won't stand in the way. Don't worry about it and hurt your body."
Mei Siyuan got up early as usual, and was just checking the salt production records of Fuzhou Salt Field and Blindshan Salt Field in mid-June in the study. He vaguely heard Xue Renmo shouting "The Master is back" outside the hospital, and hurriedly put down the book and walked out quickly.
Although he rarely expresses it, how can a father not love his children? When he learned that Mei Yuanchen was back, his heart instantly filled with joy.
The so-called father's love is like a mountain, perhaps it means that he worries about his children but worries about his children, and the joy of enjoying his children is in his heart.
The three members of the Mei family could not sit still for more than a dozen breaths in the living room. Yun Yuan, Fu Zhen, Gu Yiqing, Bai Ze, and Xiao Xue also came over, and Mei Yuanchen couldn't help but say hello to them one by one. Just after I returned to my seat, four old and young Taoist priests, Zhan Tong, Zhan Cheng, Zhan Jue and Zhi Cang, also heard the news and came over, exchanging pleasantries again.
"Little Master Uncle, are you going to stay here for a long time this time? My Zhenwu swordsmanship has improved quite a lot, so you have time to give me some pointers!" Zhi Cang put a hand on Mei Yuanchen's shoulder and said with a cheerful smile. He is more than ten years older than Mei Yuanchen. Although he is a nephew by seniority, the two of them get along more like friends. Previously, Zhan Tong and others would scold him when they saw him, but later they saw that the junior brother didn't mind at all, so they stopped taking care of him.
"Okay! I want to stay here for a while this time. If you are willing to learn, I will teach you the 'Yi' sword technique." Mei Yuanchen replied with a smile.
The many evil things that had happened in the capital recently made him feel sad and sad. Now that he returned home and met his parents, Haitang, the family members of Meifu, and his senior brothers and nephews such as Zhenwu Guan, he felt extremely happy.
When Hua Zi was supervising the teaching, Qingxuan once said to Mei Yuanchen that the "Yi" sword technique is the ultimate killing skill. It can be said that it is a martial art second only to internal strength among longevity skills. It is precious and can be compared to Jianghu. It is incomparable to any treasure in the world. However, after all, Mei Yuanchen is still relatively new to the world and has no such idea. In his opinion, the "One" sword technique is just a martial art in the sect, and it is no different from the real martial arts sword technique. If the opportunity is right, Fellow seniors and nephews can come and learn.
"Chen'er, how is the jaw palace now?" Mei Siyuan asked after Mei Yuanchen finished answering Zhicang's words. Xia Muchao died, and he had been worried about trouble in Prince Jia's palace, especially when the situation was so critical. "After all, the princess is a woman, and the prince is still young. If he accidentally does something wrong, how can the prince be at ease?" ?”
Mei Yuanchen did not hide anything, and told the story about Ran Jingru forcing Xia Chengxuan to swear a poisonous oath to deal with Prince Yun's Mansion, and finally said: "Chengxuan wants his father to be transferred to the capital to gather the Prince's Mansion, the Ran family, the Mei family, and the Rui family. The power of the four palaces will be used to deal with Prince Yun's palace."
After hearing this, Bai Lisi and others all had worried looks on their faces, only Mei Siyuan nodded slowly.
"Brother Yuan, Prince Yun's palace can quietly kill the three kings. It is so powerful that even the combined power of the four palaces is far inferior, isn't it?" Bai Lisi asked softly. Although she was grateful for Prince Jia's care for all this time, she was naturally reluctant to ask her to take advantage of the Mei family to avenge Xia Muchao.
The two of them had a deep love for each other. As soon as Bai Lisi opened her mouth, Mei Siyuan understood what she meant. He sighed softly and replied: "Putting aside the personal relationship between the Mei family and Prince Jia's Palace, King Yun killed the three kings. Etiquette is extremely evil, and the law is a capital crime. To do such inhumane things shows that this person is ruthless and ruthless. If this person is allowed to take charge of the country, will the world be peaceful? Siyuan is deeply favored by the royal family, and his position How can you, who occupies a high position in the court, think of taking care of yourself in this critical moment?"
After hearing what her husband said, Bai Lisi knew that he had made up his mind, so he said nothing more. The rest of the people in the hall listened with excited expressions, obviously deeply convinced.
"The situation of Prince Yi's Mansion and Prince Zhi's Mansion is the same as that of Prince Jia's Mansion. If the three princes' palaces can work together, they may not be able to defeat Prince Yun's Mansion. There are still many upright ministers in the court. If they knew that the affairs of the three kings were done by King Yun, I will never sit on the sidelines and stay out of things." Mei Siyuan said with an upright face, "The world is bright and clear, please make it clear to yourself. The way of heaven is clear, and no evil will be punished."
... ...
"General Ou, please stay!" Xia Chengcan said with his hands in hand.
Since he knew what Xia Muyan had done, Ou Luhai had given up all thoughts of going north. Last night, he personally went out of the city and welcomed more than 4,500 white-clad soldiers from outside Gaizhou City into the city. He also freed 200 military tents from his Chunan army camp and transferred them to Xia Chengcan for distribution.
"Your Majesty, this trip is dangerous, so please take care of it!" Ou Luhai returned the greeting with fists in his hands and a look of shame on his face. After knowing that his son-in-law was doing evil and causing trouble, even though he came to his senses and did not help Zhou to do evil, he still chose to stand by and watch, which was obviously selfish.
At this point in the battle for the reserve, there is no way out. Although he hated Xia Muyan for being ruthless and ruthless, he already felt pity for his daughter who couldn't help herself.
As a father, he really couldn't bear to stand on the opposite side of his daughter and become a life-or-death enemy with her husband. And once Xia Muyan was defeated, he would most likely be implicated. In this way, he would not only harm his daughter, but also his grandson, son, and grandson. He really couldn't be cruel. At this time, the two of them are not helping each other. Resigning to fate can be regarded as righteousness and annihilation of relatives.
This is human nature, and Xia Chengcan naturally understands it. In fact, he was very pleased that Ou Luhai was determined to lead the army back to the Chu Nan garrison. How could he have any unreasonable thoughts?
"Chengcan understands!" Xia Chengcan got on his horse and held the reins, "Old general, take care!"
After finishing speaking, he rode his horse to the front of the queue and shouted loudly: "Let's go!"
... ...
The lights in Prince Jaw's Mansion were brightly lit, and Xia Chengxuan, Xia Chenghuan, Qin Xiaoyou, Ran Jieting, and Prince Duan also stayed up all night. Fortunately, good news kept coming, and although everyone's eyes were bloodshot, they were getting more and more excited.
"Did you see the cavalry team from Prince Yun's palace go back with your own eyes?" Xia Chengxuan leaned forward and asked in a deep voice.
The palace soldier knelt down on one knee and replied seriously: "Hui Shizi, our people followed the chariot team of Prince Yun's Palace all the way until they fought with the white-clothed army guarding outside Prince Yun's Palace."
"How is the battle going?" Xia Chengxuan asked again.
"The white-clothed army is much larger in number. When our people came back to report the news, Prince Yun's palace was gradually depleted. I think the white-clothed army should have already invaded the mansion by now." The palace soldier Zheng Sheng replied.
The chariot team did not enter the palace, which means that Xia Muyan must be in Prince Yun's palace. The white-clothed army may have captured Prince Yun's Mansion, so Xia Muyan is most likely to have been captured by Xia Jingyu at this moment. In this way, the situation is set.
"Okay! Okay!" Xia Chengxuan stood up from his seat, clapped his hands and shouted, "Okay! Great!"
He was so happy that he rubbed his palms together and paced, and suddenly said: "Go to the city gate and tell Du Chong that the situation in the city has been decided. Ask him to guard the city gate and not allow anyone to enter or leave!"
The Fu soldiers responded "Yes" and walked quickly down.
"Uncle Duan Wang, I have something to do. Would you like me to come over?" Xia Chengxuan walked to Duan Wang's throne and bowed.
Just then, when the soldiers reported that Prince Yun's chariot team had returned to the mansion, Prince Duan's expression suddenly turned gloomy. Prince Yun's chariot team was able to retreat completely, and Baili Yi's men were naturally wiped out. Thinking that the man who had been protecting him for more than thirty years died in this battle, even though he considered himself to be a strong character, he couldn't help but get wet in his eyes.
"But it doesn't matter, I can still run with my old bones." King Duan said with a forced smile.
Only then did Xia Chengxuan remember that Bai Liyi might have died in the battle. He looked a little ashamed and said softly: "Master, Chengxuan would like to ask you to escort Hu Xiu'an to the palace and order the gold guards in charge of palace defense to withdraw from the palace and temporarily stay outside the palace." Twenty-eight palace soldiers took over the palace defense."
King Duan nodded and replied: "That's very good! Without further ado, I'll go right away!"
After saying that, he walked out of the main hall with a wooden stick.
"Chenghuan, do you want to accompany me to Prince Yun's Mansion?" Xia Chengxuan walked towards Xia Chenghuan and sneered. When he said this, there was obvious cruelty.
Xia Chenghuan naturally understood what he meant. He stood up from his seat with a "Ouch" sound and replied fiercely: "Of course I'm going to go and kill that thief with our own hands!"
The two of them had a blood feud and had experienced all the suffering in the world these days. They didn't expect to be able to turn the situation around so quickly. They wished they could fly to Prince Yun's Mansion immediately and kill their enemies with their own hands.
"Let's go!" Xia Chengxuan pulled his sleeves and was about to walk out of the main hall.
At this time, Xia Chengxuan suddenly remembered that no explanation had been given yet, so he called Ran Jieting and said, "Grandpa, please take care of all matters in the palace for the time being."
Ran Jieting stood up and replied: "Go ahead, as long as Mr. Qin and I are here, nothing will go wrong."
More things happened in this night than in the past sixty years combined. Ran Jieting is still a little dizzy. It's not that he's not awake, it's that he can't believe it. He couldn't believe that, overnight, his eighteen-year-old grandson had turned things around, exorcised the turmoil, and not only avenged his great revenge by taking over Prince Yun's palace, but also confirmed his inheritance of the throne in one fell swoop.
After Xia Chengxuan and Xia Chenghuan left, Qin Xiaoyou was half-lying on the tea table and said to Ran Jieting with a smile: "Mr. Ran, congratulations on your grandson who will be the emperor soon!"
Ran Jieting pursed his lips and smiled dryly: "This... this, I never expected that things would turn out like this."
... ...
Tan Jinglong rushed to Prince Yun's Mansion with more than 400 people. He was originally going to pick up Xia Muyan. However, before entering the palace, I saw a dense crowd of people outside the palace from a distance. As I walked deeper, I found that someone was trying to invade Prince Yun's palace, and the soldiers and some men in black were desperately resisting.
"Follow me!" Tan Jinglong was frightened and angry. He drew his sword and charged forward, completely ignoring the fact that the enemy in front of him was dozens of times stronger than his own.
When the white-clothed army saw this, they were naturally rude and formed a group of people to surround them and kill them all in less than a quarter of an hour.
"Deputy Commander, all the enemies have been laid to rest!" The soldiers came to Xia Jingyu's cavalry and bowed to report.
"Okay!" Xia Jingyu laughed and said, "Guard the street corners and alleys within a two-mile radius and the entrances of Prince Yun's Mansion! Others, follow me into the manor and capture Xia Muyan!"
... ...
The shouts of killing outside were getting closer and closer, but Xia Muyan and Ou Xixi ignored them. Xia Muyan was leaning against the pavilion pillar, and Ou Xixi was leaning on his shoulder. The morning sun shone on their backs, stretching their shadows so long that they almost merged into one body.
"Oh~~~Oh~~~"
Amidst the shouts of killing, a high-pitched cock crow suddenly sounded. In such a chaotic situation, the rooster's crow was particularly clear.
