General Raiders

Because of what Nian did, he refused to stand on their side. Yunxi never believed him, but Xiaohu was Li Cheng's son, and Li Cheng was kind to him, so it was impossible for him to ignore him.

"and then?"

"Then, let them leave the imperial city."

Yun Xi looked decisive, and said indifferently: "Don't say that Nanzhao has been included in the Great Chu, even if it hasn't, I have done my utmost to Li Rui and Nanzhao."

Seeing that he really didn't hesitate any more, Mu Chengze smiled and said, "Okay, just listen to my cousin."

Yun Xi was worried that King Ning had been away from the imperial city for too long, because the depression was gone, and the heart was like an arrow, the three of them rushed back without stopping for a moment, and they were about to enter the city gate in a few days. A girl with double buns, thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and tall, who looked unbelievably familiar, but also rough and awkward, when she saw the group of them, she let go of her voice like a broken gong, and rushed away crying. come up.

The three of them were stunned. Whose family did such an ugly maid belong to?

When the girl cried, her tears washed the thick layer of powder on her face out of two ditches.

"Cousin, Sixth Brother, Chenghao!"

Mu Chenghao trembled all over, staring at the maid who almost turned her dress into a flour bag, her eyeballs almost fell out.

"You are, fifth cousin?!"

"It's me!" Mu Chenghuan continued whining.

Yun Xi was so shocked that she didn't know what to say. The fifth prince often thought of what was going on, and because of this, he was often punished by the fifth prince and concubine. What happened?

The corners of Mu Chengze's mouth twitched uncontrollably, and he said, "How can Brother Wu Huang dress up like this?"

Mu Chenghuan took a long breath, and cried loudly: "Cousin, Sixth Brother, it's not good, Fourth Brother locked Father, Emperor Jing, Uncle Wang and the others in the palace, I don't know what to do!!"

"what?!!"

The three of them turned pale with shock, their eyes met, and they thought at the same time, Mu Chengjun has already started to act?Confining the emperor and his relatives, what a bold move, this is not a small move, but a palace change!

Yun Xi said urgently: "Cheng Huan, speak slowly and clearly, what did the fourth prince do? Who is locked in the palace?"

Mu Chenghuan wiped a pair of red rabbit eyes fiercely, and said aggrievedly: "I don't know why, my father trusts the fourth brother very much recently, and I always call him for everything. Yesterday, my father ordered a banquet for the emperor's relatives, civil and military relatives." Minister, after drinking for three rounds, the father is a little drunk, the fourth brother helped the father to rest, and when he came out, he ordered someone to close the gate of the Xuande Hall, so that no one else could come out!"

Mu Chengze sharply said: "Then how did you escape?"

Mu Chenghuan burst into tears: "It's Yuanyuan! It's inconvenient for her to have a big belly. I stayed with her in the side hall all the time. She took advantage of Brother Sihuang's unpreparedness and pretended me to be her maid, telling me to escape to find my cousin." With Sixth Brother, I met Wang Xiaohuan on the road, and he helped me to the palace gate..."

The guards at the palace gate received the order and closed the palace gate, and no one was allowed to pass through. Mu Chenghuan made a fuss at the palace gate by beating and rolling.Fortunately, the fourth prince's people have not spread all over the entire palace, and the guards at the palace gate are still the usual group of people. Mu Chenghuan was lucky. The guards at the palace gate thought he was a member of the palace and naturally refused to let him go. Mu Chenghuan rarely got his head Awakened by inspiration, he said that he was originally a shop from the vegetable market that came to the palace to deliver food to the imperial dining room. He used to stroll outside, and he had been to the vegetable market many times, so the name of the shop came from his mouth.The guards saw that the woman looked vulgar, she really didn't look like a palace worker, she looked like a rough worker, with a loud and noisy voice, so they simply kicked her out of the palace.The people outside didn't even know what happened in the palace. Mu Chenghuan always kept Cao Yuan's warning in mind. He knew that his cousin and King Ning had gone out of the city in the past few days, but he didn't know where they went, so he stayed in the palace. At the gate of the city, they waited eagerly like a rabbit.

Yun Xi said: "What exactly does the fourth prince want to do?"

Mu Chenghao sneered: "The emperor is imprisoned, he must be too big-hearted and doesn't want to be a prince anymore."

But to say something outrageous, since he was confined, why didn't he kill him?

According to the words of the fifth prince, the fourth prince will not even replace the guards at the palace gate, but only ordered the palace gate to be closed in the name of the emperor. It seems that he does not have many people on hand, but as long as the emperor is under control, it is not impossible to take advantage of this palace change. , to get everything he wants.

How could Mu Chengze not know what Mu Chenghao was thinking, and said: "It's useless, even if he is killed, he won't be able to ascend the throne, because he can't find the jade seal."

"Imperial jade seal?!!"

Mu Chenghao and Yun Xi were taken aback at the same time. As usual, jade seals are placed in the treasure chest of the Taihua Pavilion near the Xuande Hall, and are guarded by special personnel, and can only be invited out with the emperor's order.

Yun Xi rubbed her face, and said, "Ah Ze, you wouldn't... ask someone to hide the jade seal, would you?"

That's why King Ning isn't worried about leaving the imperial city at all?Without the jade seal, even if the fourth prince burns the palace down with a torch, he will not be able to ascend the throne.What's more, the six ministers, the relatives of the emperor and the country all witnessed his treasonous act of holding the emperor hostage.

Mu Chengze said slowly: "It was only temporarily moved to another place. Originally, he didn't move, and neither would I. The guard of Taihua Pavilion belongs to the Empress Dowager. I will send someone to visit every once in a while. If he interrupts without reason, he will The jade seal will be moved to another place. Because I am out of the city, this matter will be temporarily handed over to Uncle Jing."

The fourth prince has almost detained all the important people in the Xuande Hall, and the people who respect the king will not go to Taihua Pavilion unless they receive orders, so Yuxi will naturally change places.Even if Mu Chengjun went to take it in the name of the emperor, he could only go in vain.

Mu Chenghao gritted his teeth secretly, the sixth cousin was almost grown up.If he is the fourth prince, he probably wants to bite the guard to death right now!

Mu Chengze stared and smiled, calm and composed.Yun Xi was stunned by his radiant appearance, stayed for a moment and said: "Well done. But this is not a long-term plan. Right now uncle and the others are all trapped in the palace. If the fourth prince attacks them That's too bad... We have to rush into the palace to save people. Cheng Huan, when you came out, did you notice the guards in the palace?"

"No..." Mu Chenghuan said sullenly, it was not easy for him to escape, so how could he have the extra thought to look at other things.

Yun Xi didn't have much hope for the Fifth Prince, so it would be great to send them a letter, so she patted Mu Chenghuan on the shoulder comfortingly.

"However, before leaving, Wang Xiaohuan gave me a piece of paper." Mu Chenghuan remembered, and dug out his bulging chest, and took out several huge fruits, and a piece of paper folded into small pieces. Guessing that it must be something very important, if you put it in your sleeve for fear of being searched by the guards, Mu Chenghuan put it on his chest in a strange way. The fifth prince and concubine helped him put those fruits in person, and took out the paper Afterwards, Mu Chenghuan put the fruit back in again.

"..."

Yun Xi took the paper and looked at it, she was overjoyed, it was a map of the distribution of hands, Wang Xiaohuan was really clever, so that he could avoid the fourth prince's eyes and ears as much as possible after entering the palace, no wonder, he was able to successfully send the fifth prince to the palace gate before up!

86. Challenge

Yun Xi had already figured it out in her mind, put the picture away, and said: "Don't forget, there are soldier talismans. The fourth prince doesn't have jade seals, at most he can only use excuses to mobilize the palace guards, but the garrison depends on soldier talismans to mobilize. They are all kept by the Ministry of War, Qi Shangshu is loyal and will not let go easily, otherwise once the garrison is dispatched, let alone the few of us want to enter the palace, it will be difficult to enter the city."

Soldiers!Mu Chenghao immediately understood: "Cousin, we can actually take it too!"

Qi Shangshu is his father-in-law, others don't know where the military amulet is, but Mu Chenghao knows it very well!

If he could use the military talisman to mobilize the garrison and march into the palace in a big way, the number of people the fourth prince has is really not enough.

Mu Chenghao was excited for a moment, but then he thought it was wrong again.What he could think of, Mu Chengjun might not have imagined. Although that person didn't know the exact location of the soldier talisman, it was very likely that he would send someone to guard the military department, waiting for them to throw themselves into the trap.

"No, you can't go to the Ministry of War, there will be an ambush..."

In the blink of an eye, he categorically rejected his proposal just now.

Mu Chengze thought for a moment and said, "I'm not afraid of an ambush, but I'm afraid that Mu Chengjun will get the soldier talisman after a fight, then it will be difficult."

In other words, you can only bring your own people to fight tough battles.

Mu Chenghao immediately squatted down, found a branch, briefly sketched the terrain of the imperial city, marked several locations, and said: "The ones we have at hand are Prince Ning's Mansion, Prince Gong's Mansion, and Prince Jing's Mansion. There are also guards from the Palace of the Valiant General, together they can touch hundreds of people."

There are really few.

Mu Chengze raised his eyebrows and said, "You're not counted in the Ministry of Punishment."

Mu Chenghao now finally understands the benefits of staying in the Ministry of Punishment. Except for the privately raised personnel in the imperial city, the number of registered guards is limited. number.

Mu Chenghao grinned and said, "This is all right?!"

Mu Chengze said: "These people are not as powerful as the guards in battle, but it is no problem to prevent Mu Chengjun's people from making trouble in the city. I have some other people in private, although there are not many, all of them are elites. With the map, they can directly enter the palace. , and it is not without chance.”

Mu Chenghao glanced at him, not to be outdone, and said: "I have it too."

Mu Chenghuan listened to what they said and I analyzed it for a long time, but he couldn't get in the way, and now he was able to say something, hurriedly said: "I, I also..."

Mu Chenghao was a little unbelievable: "Fifth cousin, you also raised someone?"

Mu Chenghuan said honestly, "I'm afraid of thieves coming from the house."

Mu Chenghao thought to himself, as for your flowers, birds, fish and insects, thieves are not rare, but he said: "The fifth cousin is really a hero and sees the same thing."

"Chenghao, don't laugh at me, I'm dying of anxiety..."

Mu Chenghuan's face was full of melancholy, and he really wanted to cry again.The emperor always has courtiers by his side, so he is not too worried. The fifth concubine, Cao Yuan, is pregnant, so she can't bear it too much
