The journey after leaving the dark room was very smooth.

In the huge courtyard, people were lying all over the ground in disorder. Those who were fainted by the medicine earlier were mixed together with those whose heads were in different places. It was difficult to distinguish between life and death.

Holding the long sword in his hand, Rong Chu protected Xie Qi and walked out all the way, silent.

He didn't speak, and the boy who was guarded in the center didn't say a word either, he just followed the person in front of him closely without leaving a step, and by the way, he had a panoramic view of the house that he had been imprisoned for several months but he had never seen before. .

The surprise came so suddenly that he had to think about something else.

For example, whether today's layout is perfect enough, whether it can escape smoothly, or...

What will the future be like.

The jokes with Ren Huanyun in Tianlu Pavilion, the arrogance and recklessness that are common in young people, seemed to him a long time ago.

What he should consider now is how to get back what he had from Xie Xuan, and then he can talk about getting what he wants.

The night was dark, but the noise around him gradually disappeared. Xie Qi followed Rong Chu and walked faster and faster, and the more he walked, the more remote he went.

In Jinling City, there are very few people galloping on horses. Firstly, there is no special permission for non-relatives, and secondly, even if there is a special permission, it is too eye-catching.

Of course, Xuanwei would not show his traces for the sake of speed, but had chosen a sparsely populated path in advance, and arranged manpower along the way to ensure it was safe enough.

After walking briskly for nearly half an hour, Xie Qi vaguely saw the location of Shicheng Gate.

He looked up at the sky, knowing that the gate of the city was closed, he was hesitating, but saw the small gate under the gate of the gate for entering and exiting wide open at some point, like a silent invitation.

Xie Qi was a bit surprised when he was pleasantly surprised.

He had known for a long time that Su Yanzhao acted meticulously and had a lot of power in his hands, but he didn't know that he could reach such a level.Xie Xuan is in power, and with the addition of Jiaozhou's lineage control, the forces that can be mobilized are bound to shrink a lot. In this way, his hand can still be extended to the city gates and city guards.

Shichengmen is the gate of Jinling, a place of great importance.

Obscure emotions flashed in his eyes, Xie Qi paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at Rong Chu.

Rong Chu, who was watched by him, looked around for a long time, then made a silent gesture, and led Xie Qi towards the small door.

After leaving Jinling, the sky and the earth are big, so Xie Xuan can't check everything in a short time.

At the end, Xie Qi looked back sideways.

The day has not yet awakened, and most of the people in Jinling are still asleep, unaware of what happened that night.

He bent the corners of his mouth and moved his lips silently.

"I will return."

In the distance, in a small courtyard in the northwest corner of Jinling.

The person who was stunned by the medicine earlier woke up slowly, his eyes were fixed on everything he saw, and his mind was in chaos.After a while, the lost consciousness finally managed to recover, and an exclamation resounded through the entire courtyard.

In the middle of the night, despite the curfew and the lights dimmed, Yiqi rode straight out of the small courtyard and galloped towards the majestic Miyagi.

Almost at the same time, the people in charge of spreading the news from each family hurried out and reported back to the main family.

It was just dawn, and the white sky was still a little dark, and it hadn't completely brightened up.

The vermilion gate of Duke Dingguo's Mansion adjacent to Chang'an Avenue was suddenly pushed open, and the gatekeeper walked out slowly, yawning, his eyes unconsciously looking away.

A low-key person with a pressed hat brim appeared in the field of vision, dressed the same as in the past.

It must be an extremely important thing to report early in the morning, the gatekeeper calmed down and led people inside.

Before stepping into the gate of the mansion, the gatekeeper took a special look at the right-hand man's mansion next door.

Before it was time to wake up in the morning, the gate with a plaque hanging above it was tightly closed, and no one was seen.

Not a moment after the reporter entered the gate of the mansion, Su Yanlian, the Duke of Ding who was so angry that he got up after being woken up, hurriedly put on his robes, and ran out of the gate without caring that the hair crown was not tied.

It was still early, and Su Yanlian was ready to go into the bedroom to disturb people's dreams, but the moment he stepped into Ling Zeju's door, he saw his elder brother who was half leaning on the soft bed.

As usual, he was holding the memorial of the Lizheng Hall to be reviewed, and a cup of tea was placed on the desk where he could touch it with his hands. A few steps away, white mist was puffing from the incense burner, emitting a refreshing sandalwood aroma.

As for the person leaning on the soft bed, his brows looked a bit tired, only a thin blanket was put on his body, his slender fingers were pinching the note, but his attention was clearly shifted

Everything reveals a simple fact: the person in front of him hasn't slept all night.

Staring at the scene in front of him, Su Yan frowned uncontrollably, his thoughts scattered within a few breaths, and he thought of a lot.

As early as Su Yanzhao got Mu Zong's trust and he had someone in his hands, he handed over part of the Su family's dark line management to him. A few years ago, he did not know how to control Xuanwei, and even handed over all of the Su family's intelligence system.

Of course Su Yanlian knew that Xuanwei's news was more accurate in terms of general matters, but if it happened just last night in Beijing, it may not be who walked faster.

But the current scene... what does brother know?

Or, what are you planning?

Thinking of this, he hesitated for a while, and couldn't take another step after taking half of the step.

Su Yanzhao noticed someone coming in early, waited patiently for a long time but there was no more movement, raised his head in doubt, and said, "What's wrong?"

Su Yan came back to her senses abruptly, hesitated for a while, and recounted the news she received this morning.

"Last night, the fire in the northwest corner of Jinling affected most of the uninhabited houses. The small courtyard used to confine the common man Xie Qi was attacked, and most of the guards in charge of the guards were fascinated. It was damaged, and Xie Qi disappeared. It happened an hour ago, and His Majesty must have just received the report at this moment."

After all, he is a brother of the same mother, and he knows the inside story.Su Yanlian felt a little taste in the middle of the sentence, and he almost realized it when he finished speaking.

This way of acting is really in line with his brother.

If you can weaken it in advance, you will never fight directly, even if you have enough strength.

Oh, and there's an uncanny amount of tenderness to it as well.

Aside from the way of doing things, in terms of ability alone, the place where Xie Qi was imprisoned is so tightly guarded that there are only a handful of people in Jinling who can directly snatch him away.

But why did his elder brother go to such lengths to rob people?Is it because Xie Xuan is not pleasing to the eye, or is it pure sympathy for the little emperor who has been on the throne for less than a year?

Aware of his younger brother's agitation but no intention to study it carefully, Su Yanzhao raised the teacup and took a sip, looking at the frowning Su Yanlian,

Dao: You only received this message today? "

It's not the time when he usually wakes up in the morning, Xiao Che won't come to Ling Zeju, let alone Xuanwei.

In a sense, he is indeed not as well-informed as Su Yanlian at this moment.

Su Yanlian was startled when he heard the words, and then remembered the two relatively insignificant things, and said, "Your Majesty dismissed Shen Juzhong from the post of assistant minister, and there are still many people in the court who miss him, Yushi The doctor found out that he had committed the crime of covering up his family for personal gain, and he said that the impeachment memorial will be published in a few days."

"Besides, the movement of Princess Duanrou's mansion seems a bit strange. Her son-in-law Gao Runli went out to hunt in the city yesterday, and hurried back to the mansion in less than half an hour. Afterwards, the gate of the mansion was closed tightly. It is not known what happened."

Wouldn't it be common to go hunting for a few days and return home in half an hour, probably something happened, but the princess mansion was tightly covered, so there was no way to find out.

"En..." Su Yanzhao listened carefully, and after he finished speaking, he responded softly, and said, "It's almost there."

"What's almost done?" Su Yanlian didn't know why, and looked back suspiciously.

Su Yanzhao didn't answer, but drew circles lightly on the table with his fingers, and said to himself; "Gao Runli holds the military power of the imperial army, and has a high position and authority. Now something has gone wrong, and another person must be transferred to take up the post. As for Shen Ju , His official career has been ruined after this battle, no matter whether the imperial censor cares about him or not, the Lizheng Hall will be clean in the future."

After drawing the second circle, he paused where his fingertips were pointing; "There is still a Marquis of Xiangyang, he still has some military power in his hands."

The more Su Yanlian listened, the more confused she became.

According to his elder brother's intention, he wants to be the king of Jinling... Can't say what he says?

There was a time like this in the past, when the Lizheng Hall was almost a one-person hall, and those in charge of Jinling's defense were also cronies.

But now Xie Xuan is in power instead of Xie Qi. He is an adult king who is already in charge. If he really covers the sky with one hand as before, he may not get the infinite scenery but the Zhang Mingfu.

He didn't believe that Su Yanzhao didn't understand such a simple truth.

"What exactly does brother want to do?" A vague guess lingered in his heart, but he still refused to believe it.

Such a thing, hard work may not be flattering, and the risk factor is still high, and those who are unwilling will just take a gamble and pay it off.In terms of his brother's current status, the risks are completely out of proportion to the rewards.

Withdrawing his fingertips stuck on the table, Su Yanzhao smiled and uttered two simple words.

"Forcing the palace."
