The County Government Office was closer to the Salt Government Office, but Yun Xiaoyang did not go to He Houtang, but went straight to the resident general's office.
The people who attacked the Yan Government Office at night were no ordinary dead soldiers. There were only about two hundred soldiers in the County Government Office. Even if they wanted to rush to help, they might not be able to do so.
Under such a situation, she did not dare to delay for a moment and let shopkeeper Yu lead her to Guo Zimu's official residence.
After listening to Yun Xiaoyang's talk about what happened at the Salt Government Office, Guo Zimu suddenly stood up from his seat and asked in shock: "Is there such a thing? Have you ever approached the Salt Government Office to investigate? Don't let the military intelligence reports be wrong. .”
"General Guo, there are whistles in black in all the streets and alleys leading to the Salt Government Office. We don't have enough manpower to dare to break through." Yun Xiaoyang frowned and replied, "However, we are separated by more than a hundred feet, and we are still standing. I could vaguely hear the constant sound of weapons clashing from inside, and the watchdogs of the people nearby started barking. I was sure there was nothing wrong. I also ask the general to send troops as soon as possible. The thieves are extremely strong and they are late. Mr. Mei They may not be able to hold on.”
To go or not to go?
"The situation in the capital is unclear. Who will harm Mr. Mei at this time? Most likely they are the political enemies of Prince Jia's Mansion. Nowadays, Prince Jia's Mansion is not as good as before in the court. If I go to save Mr. Mei tonight, I will tie myself to Prince Jia's Mansion." Is the boat leaking?" Guo Zimu lowered his head to weigh, then slowly shook his head.
It is definitely not a wise move to take sides at this time, especially on the side of King Jaw Mansion.
"General Guo!" Seeing that his expression gradually softened and he shook his head slightly, Yun Xiaoyang cried out in a hurry.
Sure enough, military commanders are also members of the officialdom...
"Miss Yun, the people in my military camp are not allowed to move without orders. You'd better go find Master He. The soldiers in the county government's office, Master He, can be directly called upon." Guo Zimu forced a smile and said goodbye.
Although he said goodbye to Yun Xiaoyang, he didn't feel relaxed in his heart.
"No wonder the young master from the Mei family looks down on me! I really don't have the sharpness of a soldier... Where can I find the sharpness that a general should have!"
Yun Xiaoyang's eyelids trembled slightly and the corners of her lips twitched slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing and turned around and walked out of the hall.
not worth it.
It's not worth asking for soft words from such a philistine and profit-seeking person.
Su Xin Gong has her own pride, and Yun Xiaoyang also has her own persistence.
"Let's go and save ourselves!"
Yun Xiaoyang walked out quickly and called shopkeeper Yu behind her without looking back.
"He is afraid of death, but we people in Suxin Palace are not afraid of death!"
... ...
When Lu Jianxing came to report that Xia Chengyi had returned home, Xia Chengxuan banged the table on the desk and shouted: "Great!"
Then I heard that it was Xia Chengcan who sent it back. After careful consideration, I could tell the whole story, and I couldn't help but feel ashamed.
"Your Majesty, Crown Prince Chengcan has asked to see you, and he has arrived outside the palace." A line of guards from the Yijia Palace came forward to report, "He came alone. The officers and soldiers in white clothes who accompanied him into the city gate all rested at General Xia's barracks. .”
In fact, it was not that Xia Chengcan deliberately wanted to push away the people around him to avoid suspicion, but Du Chong reminded him: "The new emperor has not yet been decided, what is the prince doing with so many generals in the city? Haha... Could it be that he also covets the supreme throne? ?”
The current situation is sensitive. He, a prince and son, leads troops into the city, which is indeed fascinating. The family members of Prince Zhi's Palace were all taken to Prince Heja's Palace. How could Xia Chengcan dare to have the slightest intention of competing for the throne? Without saying a word, he asked Du Chong to take the White Army's followers to Xia Jingyu's camp, and he came to see Xia Chengxuan alone.
"Invite him here, and then tell the imperial kitchen to make some wine and food. I want to have a good chat with him." Xia Chengxuan blinked and ordered with a smile.
Later, he called Lu Jianxing and asked him to arrange the defense of Prince Jia's palace and not let Xia Chengyi go out even half a step. Of course, the family members of Prince Zhi's palace were also asked to keep an eye on them. Although they had to be kept alive, they must not be allowed out of the inner courtyard.
... ...
"Great Underworld Envoy, are all the salt government officials dead?" Hen Hongchen put down the folding knife in his hand and impatiently asked the black-clad Great Underworld Envoy beside him.
For more than half an hour, she felt more and more depressed, as if someone was holding fireworks inside her to roast her heart.
This kind of annoyance and anxiety had no basis, which made her increasingly uneasy.
"Is something going to happen?"
"Is it possible that I am going to die in the Salt Government Office tonight? I don't believe it!"
She just wanted to end the matter here quickly: kill the people from the Salt Government and the people from Baiweitang.
"Master, when I came back, they were fighting fiercely, and the people in Baiweitang didn't seem to be taking any advantage." The Great Underworld Envoy hurriedly walked to her side and bowed to report.
Both Jiudian and Baiweitang overestimated the defense of the Yan Government, but they still underestimated it.
"Do you understand?" Jiu Wuwu raised his thin body and asked with a frown.
"This..." The Great Underworld Envoy was a little speechless, thought for a while, and then replied, "Why don't I go and investigate more.
... ...
"Taoist priests, please leave this place to us, and you can try to escort Lord Mei out!" Lin Jueming waved his knife to force the man in black in front of him back, and took the opportunity to speak to Zhan Tong, Zhan Jue, and Zhan Cheng on the side behind him.
When it comes to martial arts, the Shenshaoying Camp is inferior to the young and old Taoist priests from Zhenwu Temple, but when it comes to killing people, they are obviously better. Diagonal slashes and vertical slashes are crisp and clean, with few empty moves and almost injuring the enemy.
Zhan Tong could also see that the fifty divine sentry battalions here were all very brave. If they stayed here, they should be able to stop the thieves for a while. He said "General Lin, take care!" and led the sixteen people from Zhenwu Temple back to the inner courtyard. .
In the inner courtyard, everyone in the Mei Mansion gathered in the hall, all with solemn faces.
"Brother Yuan, aren't Mr. Hu and his men guarding the outside? How could these thieves break in so easily?" Bai Lisi stood beside Mei Siyuan and asked with a frown.
She couldn't figure it out, how could these thieves break through Hu Xiwei's people and rush straight into the house.
"Brother Yuan, didn't you say that Hu Xiwei brought more than 400 people?" She asked softly with tears in her eyes, "No matter how many thieves there are, how can they easily break through the defense of more than 400 people?"
Mei Siyuan tried his best to calm down, turned to look at his beloved wife, and replied softly: "I think Mr. Hu is leading his people to fight with the gangsters outside, and when they are defeated, the people outside will come to help us. Prince Yun's Mansion is very powerful, I'm afraid there are quite a few people sent this time, and Mr. Hu's people may not be able to stop them all."
Seeing that Bai Lisi was still frowning and saying nothing, he added: "You think, Prince Yun's Palace can deal with the three palaces at the same time without falling behind. What a powerful force it is! Crown Prince Chengxuan must have learned about Xia Muyan's mission this time. People are not easy to deal with. They were worried that something would happen to us, so they sent so many people to protect the Salt Government. It seems that I still underestimated the enemy and my position in his mind."
Hearing what her husband said, Bai Lisi felt that it made sense, and she finally felt a little better.
At this moment, Zhan Tong led the Taoist priests from Zhenwu Temple and hurried in and said seriously: "Master Mei, we will try to take you out!"
"Can the outer courtyard not be defended anymore?" Mei Siyuan asked in shock as he heard the implication of his words as he saw their bodies covered in blood.
He was very clear about the defense of the Salt Government Office. Ordinary dead soldiers, even four to five hundred people, would never be able to rush in. Now that they can't hold on, those men in black outside the hospital are no longer ordinary dead soldiers.
Zhan Tong looked at Mei Siyuan and shook his head slightly, but did not answer.
