Spring is warm and flowers bloom in March, but on cloudy days or at night, the temperature changes are still drastic, and the wind is not pleasant.

This was especially true in Yanjing this afternoon.

However, as Wang said, his life was almost gone, so how could he sit back and wait for death? So, having made a hasty decision, Qin, Hong, and Zheng simply left the Qin Mansion together and went their separate ways.

stand up.

Among them, Zheng Xiunian had the smallest target and was the least eye-catching, so he was arranged to find Wanyan Talan, who was relatively sensitive at this time... After the true decision, Hong Ya and others had already figured it out, and the Sixth Prince Jian Lu Guanyi

It's useless. After the second fright, my heart is completely inclined to negotiate. It's just like the decadent state of the fourth prince who returned from the war, so I just don't care... But this old man is lazy. I don't know if he has this intention, and this person

After all, it was polished by the military. The so-called rotten ship also has three pounds of nails. When necessary, it will be of greater use than Zhenlu Guan.

As for He Shilie's place, Qin and Hong were not prepared to come together. Instead, they wanted Qin Huizhi to pay a grand visit in his capacity as prime minister and conduct a little test. If the test was done properly and the situation became chaotic again, Hong Ya would be asked to come over.

Puncture the window paper.

And Hong Ya couldn't be idle at this time. He also wanted to meet with Zan Lu and ask for a backup.

Without further ado, let’s just say that the three of them moved in a hurry under the protection of the Qin Mansion’s servants and guards. But as soon as they turned to the street outside the alley where the Qin Mansion was located, the three of them started to panic... It turned out that at this time, there were already people everywhere on the street.

They are all chaotic armies.

Not only that, the three of them rode together and walked boldly for a while, and they became aware of a strange atmosphere.

It is nonsense to say that these soldiers and horses are rebels, because they are obviously organized, and there are no large-scale robberies or conflicts with each other. It is definitely wrong to say that they are under martial law, because these troops have not put their minds into practice.

When it came to controlling the streets, they did not stop anyone. For the three people who were obviously of higher status, there were even some kind-hearted mid-level officers who took the initiative to lead their troops to avoid and salute along the way. It seemed wrong to say that it was a mutiny to seize power, because these troops

They are too scattered, and there is obviously no reporting relationship between them.

"They are their own children from the local wealthy family who are dispatching the new army."

After walking through two intersections, Qin Hui gradually relaxed and came to the conclusion. "Some people just gathered at home to protect themselves from the chaos, but several members of the big family obviously wanted to take over the city gate."

"good."

Hong Ya gasped and spoke. "But no matter what, the New Army has already begun to collapse, and the chaos will only get worse... When it gets dark, sooner or later there will be murders and arson. There can be no delay."

Already."

The three of them looked at each other for the last time. Although they were all a little timid, they could only lower their heads and go off in different directions according to the original plan.

"Who wants to see me?"

Wanyan Tarlan, who was standing in the courtyard and listening to the noise on the street, turned around in surprise. "Who can look for me at this time?"

"It's Mr. Zheng... the cousin of Xianggong Qin." The lame general answered with his hands raised. "Only one person, with seven or eight guards, anxious and miserable... as if he came to ask for help."

Wanyan Tarlan was thoughtful in the courtyard, then nodded: "Let him come in."

"Marshal, save me!"

A moment later, Zheng Xiunian rushed into the hospital, fell to his knees and cried to each other.

"Shilang Zheng."

Wanyan Tart looked at each other with a lazy smile. "How about this? If you can save me, I will kneel down to you and kowtow to you regardless of this old face..."

Zheng Xiunian didn't know how to reply for a while.

Talan sighed directly when he saw this, turned around and walked over to help the other person up, and then went straight in: "I discovered Mr. Qin, and I have always known that he has an idea. Now everyone is generally a person under suspicion. He

If you want to venture out with me and do something, I'm willing to listen to him... What does your brother-in-law say?"

"The vital points are said to be elsewhere." Zheng Xiunian stood up, looking a little embarrassed. "My brother-in-law also knows that the marshal is reliable here, so he asked me, an incompetent person, to come over and show his respect..."

Ta Lan nodded and continued to ask: "Then where did Qin Xianggong himself go?"

"I went to inspect several withdrawn households with Minister Hong." Zheng Xiunian responded in a low voice. "My brother-in-law's intention is that things will be chaotic soon, so let's not worry about the long term. We can gather some troops and horses at the moment.

That's one thing... let's gather our troops first by attacking the local wealthy families in Yanjing, and see how many troops we have, and then we can talk about other things."

Ta Lan shook his head first, then nodded, seeming to be quite helpless: "Yes... In this situation, the big one will collapse, the small one will fall. Think about the immediate first, then the long-term, and take one step at a time... No matter what, the small one will collapse."

Qin can still think about my old relationship, which still makes me feel happy."

"Then the officer will stay here and wait for news with the marshal?" Zheng Xiunian was slightly relieved.

"No, you have to leave immediately to meet someone for me." Talan said as he took out a gold medal from his arms and stuffed it into the other person's hand. "If I go there in person, it will be too eye-catching... maybe I will."

Let the eldest prince's Hezha Meng'an be chopped off... Your brother-in-law is right, a few more soldiers at this time may save lives."

"May I ask who it is?"

Zheng Xiunian was half-feared and half-excited... The frightened person, because of the appearance of the armored soldiers outside, could make a fuss at no time. He was really timid, but he knew he could not refuse. The frightened person was none other than Ta Lai, who was determined not to refuse.

Willing to sit back and wait for death, not only did he agree to join forces with his side, but he also seemed to have allies and strength to support him.

"Go find Yin Shuke." Talan explained seriously. "As soon as the war broke out, Yin Shuke and I were reactivated, and the new army's reserves were assigned to the left and right. But as soon as the news of the defeat at the front came, the eldest prince concealed it.

With the message, we evacuated together first... This guy may not be on the same road as us, but he must be on two roads with the eldest prince... Moreover, Yin Shu has done Taiyuan left-behind, Yanjing left-behind, and the city

There are many old troops, and if he is willing to nod, we will have greater confidence in protecting ourselves."

Zheng Xiunian nodded with all his strength, turned around in panic, but then looked back: "Marshal...can you allocate a few soldiers to me?"

Talan was silent for a moment, then immediately shook his head: "As I said, gathering the troops together is the most important thing at this time. One more soldier is good...how can we disperse them again?"

Zheng Xiunian was completely helpless, and when he walked out of the house without hesitation, he walked around the street and looked at the obviously more chaotic street. His scalp was numb, and he couldn't help crying in the street... He should have been watching in Tokyo at this time.

Cuju competition is the right thing, how did you meet that kind of brother and end up like this!

However, despite all kinds of resistance and powerlessness in his heart, his reason still urged him to ask someone to repay the Wang family and at the same time go to Yin Shuke's home.

"General, I only have one thing on this trip, and that is to ask the general, for the sake of our somewhat friendly relationship, to protect our family's children during the chaos for the Han people who fled south..." Time was running out, and in the military camp in the west of the city, Zhen Lu

Opposite me, the panting Hong Ya stretched out his hand to hold the tea cup in front of him, as if he was going to get straight to the point as soon as he sat down. "The tea is on the table."

Nian Lubu grinned, then put down the teapot in his hand and shook his head slightly: "For this kind of matter, Hong Chengzhi can just send a servant over to say it, or just send the servant over, so why come here in person at this juncture?

"

"Because I am going to move around a few more generals, and then break up the families of several families, in order to survive as much as possible in the chaos." Hong Ya said sternly. "This is the principle that one learns from every experience... That day

The Sixth Prince and I and a group of people came back from Zhending. We met the Mongols on the road. They were killed in a daze. Except for the Sixth Prince and I who stayed behind specially, we only saw one Taishi slave alive...

...Anyway, I wonder if the general is willing to agree? If so, I will send the children separately during the meeting tomorrow morning?"

Zhen Lubu nodded: "No matter what, I can still do this... It's just Hong Chengzhi, you've seen the situation on the street, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to hold on tonight?"

"General, you are looking down on us." Hong Ya shook his head. "The meeting at Shangshutai seems to be delayed and inconclusive, but delay is also a path... The next step is nothing more than the people from outside the Great Wall returning to the Great Wall, and the people from Yanyun staying.

Yan Yun, this is the general trend, but no matter how chaotic it is tonight, it is just a few Yanjing big families who are in an awkward position trying to prevent the national people from returning north... But those people seem to be strong, so how many of them are there?

The general’s opponent who will fight for the rest of his life?”

Zhen Lubu nodded again and said nothing.

Hong Ya also simply stood up and prepared to leave, prompting Nian Lubu to stand up and see him off... The whole visit was neat and tidy, without any sloppiness, as if he was really entrusting his family to his care.

But at that moment, just as Hong Ya was about to step out, Zhen Lubu suddenly stepped forward and grabbed one of his arms: "Hong Chengzhi, are you really just here to entrust your family today?"

"General!"

Hong Ya was grabbed by the arm. He was frightened in his heart, but his face was anxious for a moment, but he did not dare to hesitate and turned back to explain. "Of course I know what the general meant. It is nothing more than doubts that I am going to resort to tricks again.

To make something real...is it true or not?"

Xian Lu smiled and said nothing.

"But are Yanjing and Zhending the same thing?"

As soon as he said that, after surviving the moment of gaffe, Hong Ya took advantage of the situation and stamped his feet on the threshold.

"When I was in Zhending City, I had the fourth prince's gold medal and the status of imperial envoy. What am I in today's Yanjing City? In Zhending City, the sixth prince was so soft-hearted, but in Yanjing City, the eldest prince and Yanjing

The big clan is at the critical point of life and death, how can there be any way for me to intervene? And in this situation, if you do anything, you must have soldiers and horses... It was the general who I relied on to kill for me that day. Will the general be killed today?

Is it easy for me to kill anyone if I just say something? You are also in a life-and-death situation now, and I can’t interfere!"

"It's good if Hong Chengzhi knows about our difficulties." Seeing this, Qian Lubu finally let go and then took advantage of the situation and swore to the sky. "Please rest assured Hong Chengzhi, but no matter what, I will definitely regard all of your family members as my own family members."

General extended protection!”

Hong Ya nodded, actually grabbed the other person's hand in turn, shook it sincerely, then lowered his head and walked out... It was so sincere.

Of course, maybe he was really grateful, because once Qin Hui failed to test He Shilie Taiyu, then this trip would not be paralyzed, but would really be entrusted to his family.

Even if you are lying, you would never have imagined that Hong Ya's trip was both true and false.

"General He Shilie is joking."

While Hong Ya was almost paralyzing the generals on the list, Qin Huizhi was doing the most fatal test himself. "We, the literati, have no power to tie a chicken, and if we don't have the protection of heroes,

Then nothing can be done..."

"Forget it!" He Shilietaiyu immediately laughed. "Isn't it just to protect your family in case of chaos? Although I think Qin Xianggong is overthinking it, since he came to see me personally, how can I say no?

Character?"

Qin Hui also took the opportunity to take a look at He Shilie Taiyu.

This man is in his early forties and is the leader of the Jurchen tribe He Shilie. Because he has been active around Shangjing all year round, he has only come to lead the army in the past two years.
