The death of the late emperor was announced to the world.
The Daxia court unanimously announced to the outside world, explaining two things in total.
The first one shows that the cause of the death of the late emperor was "illness". The late emperor worked hard and had great military virtues. He founded the country and opened the Yuan Dynasty, and recovered the mountains and rivers. It was really a natural achievement. However, the old disease recurred, and despite intensive medical treatment, he still died sadly. He was named Emperor Wu. , the temple Taizu held a state funeral that month.
And this second one tells how the two kings were assassinated in the capital. King Qin and King Yan went to the capital to mourn together, but they encountered the assassin. King Qin was attacked and died on the spot. Fortunately, King Yan survived.
When the matter was over, King Yan ascended the throne.
And pointed all the fingers at the Raven Cult.
The evil cult believed in evil gods, which caused natural and man-made disasters, brought famine, and sent assassins, causing chaos in the imperial city. The King of Qin died, and Raven deserved his death. His crime was to cause chaos to the country and bring disaster to the people, so all the states and counties in the world were attacked together. There must be no mistake.
Although it was officially announced, most people were still suspicious. Even if it was strictly prohibited, rumors still couldn't stop leaking out.
It was a national birthday a few days ago, and some places were still celebrating in silence, but in one night, the late emperor passed away, which is as weird as it sounds.
King Qin and King Yan successively summoned him back to the capital. A few days later, the most inconspicuous King Yan survived and became the throne. King Qin was assassinated by a cult.
There is room for speculation in this doubt. There are even rumors among the people that it was King Yan who launched the Tianwumen mutiny, killed all his father and brother, and became emperor himself. However, many of his remarks were deliberately suppressed by the government and could not spread far.
King Qin's northern army had not been able to wait for the news for a long time. Every one of them was ready to make a move and was close to rebelling. But when the imperial order was issued, everyone's heart dropped.
Some surrendered, some rebelled, but after all, there were not many rebels. Just as there were masters, there were also subordinates. Few of King Qin’s subordinates were able to stand out, and they were suppressed by the court soon after. .
The new emperor has come to power, and the national policy has not yet been decided. The people are worried, and they don't know what will happen in the coming days. After all, it is all a cloud.
The only thing people can be sure of is that this is the Raven Cult.
Bad luck.
At night.
The entire Jinzhou fell silent, with dogs barking and cicadas chirping from time to time. Only a stream of light flashed across the sky, and Zhao Huai's figure gradually became clearer.
"We're home! We're home!"
Bage flew down from Zhao Huai's shoulder and stood above the plaque of Huai's small pawn shop, shouting happily.
"He's actually back."
Yu Qinghan looked at the Huai Zi Pawn Shop in front of him and felt a little unreal.
This trip was so grand and exciting that it felt like yesterday.
Zhao Huai opened the door, took off his bamboo hat, stepped forward slightly, and said with a smile: "It's so late, why don't you take a bath in the hot spring?"
"It's a little late tonight and I'm a little tired from the journey. How about tomorrow?"
Yu Qinghan's voice was as light as a mosquito bite. He lowered his head and answered, his fingers twitching involuntarily.
"It's quite comfortable to soak in a hot spring and then sleep."
"Okay, okay."
Just when the atmosphere in the room was extremely delicate, Zhila pushed the door open, stood up, and her sister-in-law came.
"sorry for disturbance."
"Call me when you're done."
When their eyes met, Pei Xiangyun also felt something was wrong and was about to leave.
Not willing to let go of this opportunity to escape, Yu Qinghan stepped forward, grabbed her clothes, and pulled her up.
"I still have something to settle with you."
Pei Xiangyun rolled his eyes helplessly and pouted: "You are really a couple. You both grab your clothes in the same way. If you have something to say, can you talk it over and give me some face?"
"Husband, you should wash up first."
Yu Qinghan ignored her and said something to Zhao Huai.
"OK."
Zhao Huai shrugged, said it didn't matter, and went to the hot spring.
Seeing that he was gone, Pei Xiangyun picked up the remaining melon seeds on the table, sat down, and laughed while knocking:
"Both of you are adults, but you are so disgusting in private. You can't see it at ordinary times. Sister, I guess I won't be treated like this in the future. I hope you won't be embarrassed when you see me in the future."
When Yu Qinghan heard this, his face turned red and he shouted loudly: "Say it again! Is your skin itchy?!"
"How many things have you done that I told you?"
Pei Xiangyun chuckled, feeling a little guilty, and said doubtfully: "By the way, sister, why are you back so soon?"
"Thanks to your brother-in-law, otherwise the outcome would be hard to say." Yu Qinghan sighed.
Later, she told Pei Xiangyun about Zhao Huai's stay in the capital.
"My brother-in-law is so powerful?!"
After hearing this, Pei Xiangyun's eyes widened and his mouth opened wide.
"Fighting the golden elixir with one sword is indeed powerful." Yu Qinghan nodded in agreement.
Pei Xiangyun was still in shock.
She was very aware of the strictness of the capital, especially after the emperor's death. There was a full curfew and interrogation without special orders, making it extremely difficult to enter and exit. The imperial city was guarded by tens of thousands of troops. It was almost impossible to hide in the palace prison to save people.
But if lurking is ruled out, there is only one possibility.
Fight in!
My God! What kind of fairy brother-in-law am I?
For a moment, Pei Xiangyun felt a sense of awe towards Zhao Huai.
Pei Xiangyun whispered: "Brother-in-law is too powerful. My father is just preparing to send a large army."
"Your father? Army?"
After hearing this, Yu Qinghan frowned and said coldly: "Pei Xiangyun, you'd better explain it to me clearly."
Pei Xiangyun's collar was pulled up again, and his whole body was like a chicken, hanging in the air.
"I said! I said!"
Soon, Pei Xiangyun couldn't bear it anymore and shouted quickly.
Yu Qinghan let go of his hands, hugged his chest, and stared at her coldly.
Pei Xiangyun felt guilty: "After the emperor passed away, I returned home first. My father asked me to find you first. He said that it would be best if you, my sister, go to the capital and take control of the overall situation first. If not, He will contact the southern army, go north to King Qin, and make you emperor."
"But before we arrived, the messenger in the palace said that before the army arrived, we learned that you had escaped from trouble."
"Nonsense!"
Yu Qinghan scolded, grabbed Pei Xiangyun's ears, and said angrily: "You have grown up and become smarter, right?"
"Wrong, wrong! I shouldn't have hidden this from my sister!"
Pei Xiangyun quickly begged for mercy.
Yu Qinghan calmed down quickly and thought carefully in her mind. She knew that Pei Xiangyun, the Pei family behind him, and the former generals were all for her own good.
So after thinking about such a play, I inevitably felt a little uncomfortable.
"The hot spring today is absolutely amazing. I can guarantee you that you won't be able to come out after taking a dip. All your fatigue will be gone."
A voice sounded from inside the house.
It turned out that Zhao Huai came out from the bath, he took out his ears and said with a smile.
After looking at the atmosphere in front of me, it seemed that it was not very harmonious. I guess they were preaching, so I immediately reconciled.
"As a child, it's normal for you to be rude and make mistakes. You just need to change your ways. There's no need to be harsh."
Zhao Huai stepped forward, held Yu Qinghan's shoulders, and smiled.
"Say it again, I'm not young!" Pei Xiangyun pouted in protest.
Yu Qinghan saw Pei Xiangyun still rubbing his ears aggrievedly, and couldn't help but feel soft in his heart. She really couldn't be blamed for this, so he stepped forward and said softly:
"Are you hungry? I'll make you something to eat."
Pei Xiangyun looked at the two people hooking their shoulders and shook his head:
"Forget it, I'm full, I'm full."
"It's strange, it's so late at night, why are the lights outside not turned off?"
Zhao Huai was about to close the window, but unexpectedly found that the lights of many houses outside the house were still on.
This was impossible before. Even ordinary people had to save oil lamps.
Pei Xiangyun glanced out the window and explained:
"Brother-in-law, you didn't know that you were gone these days."
"There have been a lot of casualties in the city recently. People around here don't dare to turn off the lights and sleep if they suspect something is going on."
ghost?
Zhao Huai thought to himself, as if he had thought of something.
