After a snowfall, the back garden of Xining Hou Mansion was dazzling white, and the broken branches and leaves were covered. A thick layer of ice was formed in the lotus pond. Several little maids in red coats were skating. Wくw    W√. 8     1√zW. CoM

Ling'er helped Qi Yu walk along the path beside the lotus pond. Because he wore too much, Qi Yu looked extremely bloated and could only move slowly with Ling'er's support. These days, the next day, the imperial physician Wang came to the mansion to check her pulse. She knew everything that had been born in the Daming Palace. The Tsumaying had planted this time. Although this tree with deep roots and lush leaves could not be uprooted, the tight ring on her head could take the opportunity to take it off.

Doctor Wang brought her Lin Tongwei's instructions: she can decide whether to stay or not according to the circumstances.

Ling'er was attracted by the laughter on the ice, and her eyes were filled with desire.

"Or why do you go over and play with them?" Qi Yu stared at Ling'er's face with a smile.

"Fake a false sense, are you really willing to let me go?"

Qi Yu stared at Ling'er with a smile: "This time we have finally achieved the merits. If you really want to leave, I won't stop you and turn around, I will tell you." Ling'er didn't dare to move. She took Qi Yu's arm and said with a smile: "I'm just kidding, you won't really drive me away."

The haggard little fish walked over with a food box, lowered her head, and walked over in a daze.

Qi Yu reached out to stop her and smiled and said, "If you don't look at the road when you walk, be careful to fall into the pond."

"Oh--" Xiaoyu sighed slightly, lifting the lid of the food box for Qi Yu to take a look.

"What? Didn't you eat anything?" Qi Yu asked in surprise.

Xiaoyu nodded and said with a sad face: "It's been three days and three nights, so you'd better go and persuade him. How can you not eat?"

Qi Yu sneered: "Oh, look at what you said. If you don't listen to your advice, will my words work? Oh, men's thoughts are sometimes you can never guess thoroughly. Don't worry, he is upset, let him calm down. It's okay if you can tell." Qi Yu didn't stop while speaking, but still moved his heavy body and continued to move forward.

But after walking two steps, she turned around and called Xiaoyu: "Take some pancakes over, he can get two cucumbers when he is hungry."

Xiaoyu gave him a grateful glance, and he was worried. Why didn't he expect this good idea?

Looking at Xiaoyu's restless back, Ling'er asked Qi Yu: "Didn't the above say that you can leave? What are you still doing? Are you really in love with him?"

Qi Yu sighed: "This person is not bad at all and has saved our lives. Isn't it a bit unrighteous to leave at this time?" Ling'er snorted coldly: "You have had a personal relationship again. No wonder you can't climb up after so many years. I am so tired that I am also unlucky."

"Is it okay to climb up? So what can I do if I command it? It's not that I can't help myself and can be at the mercy of others. You and my sister can be together, please be content." After hearing Qi Yu's depressed words, Ling'er smiled helplessly.

When the master of the kitchen saw Xiaoyu entering the door with a bitter face, he guessed that Yang Hao must have eaten nothing. He advised Xiaoyu: "Don't worry, if this person has something to do, his appetite will not be fragrant. If the appetite is not fragrant, he will naturally not want to eat anything. Look, I stewed some thick soup, and you will take it over and let him drink a little. In two days, he will have nothing to do if he figures it out."

Xiaoyu let out a breath and asked, "Do you still have crispy cakes at home?"

"Yes, it was only released this morning, and he likes this the most." Yang Fu worked as a chef in the mansion when he was founded by the Marquis of Xining. He knew the taste of everyone in the mansion. He learned this kind of scallion pastry cake from an imperial chef in the palace. Yang Hao has loved it since he was a child. Yang Fu brought out a thermal bucket made of wheat straw. When the lid was opened, a fragrance came to his nose. Those golden pastry cakes aroused the appetite of the fish. He was only worried about Yang Hao these two days, and he had not eaten a full meal.

Xiaoyu squeezed a piece of crispy cake and was eating it with relish. Xiaosi slipped into the kitchen like a loach. He bent down and squatted behind Xiaoyu, pressed against Xiaoyu's left rib, and reached his hand towards the insulation bucket.

"Hey!" Xiaoyu suddenly saw a hand stretching out from under his ribs, and screamed in fear. Xiao Si took the opportunity to put his hand into the bucket, grabbed two pieces of crispbread and ran away.

"Beat you, a little thief," Yang Fu fucked the bamboo clip and chased Xiao Si. Xiao Si ran around the pillar. In a blink of an eye, two pieces of cakes entered his stomach, leaving only some debris in his hand.

"It's so delicious. Uncle Yang's craftsmanship is becoming more and more authentic! He can catch up with the imperial chef in the palace." Xiao Si gathered the crumbs in his palm into piles and swallowed them in one bite.

"Eat your stuff, that's nonsense." Yang Fu heard him mention the word "palace", afraid that Xiaoyu would be sad again, so he quickly interrupted Xiaosi's words.

"What can I say? Uncle Li Fu asked me to come back and report: news came from the department that our Dalang is going to be promoted. He has been appointed as the sixth-rank Tiande Army military envoy and will take office after the New Year."

"Ah! I'm going to Tiande Army again. Isn't that outside the pass?" Xiaoyu said in surprise. She had heard of the name Tiande Army a month ago, but she has not yet figured out where it is. In her impression, except for Chang'an, Wannian, the rest are all outside the pass, and they are too barren to live.

"You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing." Yang Fu didn't believe it either.

Although Yang Fu didn't know what big things happened in the past few days, judging from Mrs. Zhang's face and the movements in the capital these two days, it was definitely not a good thing. This morning, I went to buy vegetables by myself. I heard that Prime Minister Shu Yuanyu was suspected of treason and was arrested and imprisoned by the Shence Army. The man in his seventies was stripped of his legs and hung up for a night and had to admit his guilt against his will. Now, more than 100 old and young people in the family were all imprisoned and beheaded.

"Really, I dare to swear to the sky." Xiao Si said this and grabbed another piece of cake in his hand. Yang Fu raised the bamboo clip in his hand and threatened: "Don't be busy eating, tell me, what's going on."

"After Dalang returned to his house, Uncle Li Fu asked some old friends in the army for information about the palace. They said that on the 21st, Prime Minister Shu Yuanyu and Li Xun instigated a rebellion, and thousands of rebels rushed into the Daming Palace. They saw people and killed corpses everywhere, blood flowed into a river. All the high-ranking officials and officials under the Secretariat were killed."

"Ah!" Xiaoyu and Yang Fu screamed in surprise. It turns out that someone was treasoning.

"That Dalang, isn't he the Golden Sword Guard? He won't be involved in the rebellion, right?" Xiaoyu asked nervously, his hands and feet were cold and incoherent.

"Listen to me," Xiao Si's mouth was stuffed with crispy cakes, and he spoke a little unscrupulously. "General Han and Li Xun of the Jinwu Guard are accomplices. Many people in Jinwu participated in the rebellion, and many people lost their heads, but our Dalang is a loyal minister, not a rebel party."

Xiaoyu patted his heart and breathed a sigh of relief. She saw Xiaosi still eating, knocked down the cake in his hand, and shouted sternly: "What else do you know? Tell me!" Xiaosi looked at Xiaoyu in shock. This girl was really anxious.

"Do you know? Qi Erye and Yin Liuye are also rebelling against the party. The second master ran away. The sixth master was injured and taken away. He was locked in a prison and beaten half to death. His Majesty spared his life after his ancestors made great contributions to the court. Now he has been sentenced to exile in Lingnan. Only our Dalang is loyal and not only innocent, but also made merits! Is Your Majesty rewarded me for merit and is going to be promoted to our Dalang's official position? The Tiande Army Military Envoy, from the sixth rank to the ninth rank to the sixth rank, would be promoted to three levels in a row."

Xiao Si knew in his heart that although the military envoy was from the sixth rank, he was a military general from the border area and did not have much real power in his hands, so he could not compare with the Jindao Weidian Military Captain. He said this because he had the intention of reporting good news but not bad news, and pretended to be confused with his understanding, and also to comfort Xiaoyu and prevent her from doing anything out of the ordinary.

Yang Fu also understood this truth, but he hid it with him. Xiaoyu was completely relieved after hearing this, and his whole body became soft and lazy. It only took three days for Yang Hao to come back from the palace, but these three days were even harder than three years.

Xiaoyu still vaguely remembered that at noon three days ago, he was about to go out to buy needles and threads. A team of soldiers of the Shence Army suddenly broke into Chongrenfang and surrounded Liu Weiyuan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and was blocked from the water. After a stick of incense, the soldiers led Liu Weiyuan, who was covered in blood, and randomly stuffed them into the prison car. Liu Weiyuan was fat and could not climb into the prison car for a while. He was torn to the ground by several soldiers and kicked him hard. Liu Weiyuan was so scared that he was so scared that he ran away and reported to Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang was also panicked and hurriedly sent someone to find out the news. The person who inquired about the news ran back soon and reported that the Shence Army set up checkpoints everywhere on the street to arrest people, prohibiting people from traveling, saying that the treacherous minister Li Xun colluded with the vassal states outside to plot against the rebellion, and the emperor had issued an order to arrest the rioters.

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhang did not breathe up and fainted. Qing'er took leave and went to Miaofu Temple outside the city to pray for her parents before she returned. Xiaoyu was panicked. Fortunately, Li Fu rushed back to the mansion at this time. Li Fu heard some rumors in the cloth shop that there was a sudden change in the palace. When the evening drum was ringing, the street patrol commander of Chang'an City and the Jinwu soldiers in Wuhou's shop disappeared. He knew that something was wrong, so he left Xiao Si to guard the cloth shop and brought more than a dozen strong men back to the mansion to guard the house.

Just when the inside and outside were in chaos, Yang Hao was escorted back by a team of Shen Ce soldiers. Except for a stick on his forehead, there was nothing serious. He said nothing about what he had in the palace and felt like he was caught in an evil spirit. After barely saying a few words to Mrs. Zhang, he locked himself in the study room and didn't open it no matter who knocked on the door.

After the evening drum beat, Chang'an City was shrouded in a strange atmosphere. At the beginning of You hour, a large number of soldiers of Shence Army rushed out of the camp with sharp blades and poured into Chang'an City. They held torches high and roared all the way, three or five groups, seven or eight groups, instantly covering the entire Chang'an City. After You hour, soldiers wandering on the street suddenly shouted the slogan of "Catch the thief", and quickly rushed into all the households they regarded as thieves, chopping the doors and robbing property, and killing them immediately if they were not in a position. All women with a little beauty were ***.

Chongrenfang is close to Tai Chi Palace, and the people who live in it are either rich or noble, so they naturally become the care of the rioters. In addition to the Liu Weiyuan family, who was looted at noon, the former Jiannan Jiedushi Zhang Bingkun family, the former Minister of Revenue Qianjiuming family, and the Left Chief of Shangshu Zhang Baishun family. Not only were the property of the Zhang family, but the mistress was also kidnapped in the chaos.

But all this seemed to have nothing to do with the Xining Marquis Mansion. The Shence army soldiers who sent Yang Hao back, who had sent Yang Hao back, had a Shence army flag at the door of the mansion. The military flag was like a god of evil-proof talisman. A large number of bull-headed and horse-faced shots by the door, but no one dared to enter without permission.

After nightfall, the weather was surprisingly cold. The general of Jinwu Guard, Han Yue, was accused of participating in the rebellion. At this time, he was fled for fear of crimes and had no other dragons in the Jinwu Guard. In addition, when the palace of the Daming Palace changed, the Jinwu Guard stood on Li Xun's side and had many conflicts with the Shence Army. The soldiers were afraid of being retaliated against by the Shence Army, so they all hid at this time. The street patrol was nowhere to be seen, and the Wuhoupu was empty. After the soldiers of the Shence Army returned with a full load, Chang'an City became an unguarded empty city.

As early as dusk, the evil young men in Chang'an finished neatly preparing to take action. They sent people to stand outside the Danfeng Gate. After the dusk drum in the palace sounded, the palace gate slowly closed. The evil young men lit the beacon and told their companions scattered in various yards to plunder. The Shen Ce soldiers were numerous and greedy and violent, and they specifically plundered the major officials and households. Although the evil young men were not as powerful as the Shen Ce army, they were all big and small. They not only plundered the large households who raised many servants in groups, but also plundered the ordinary people.

Chongrenfang was attacked again, and this time Zhang Baishun lost his mother, and he sat at the door and cried loudly. The Xining Hou Mansion miraculously escaped a disaster again. The evil young master led Hu Haiyang, Tan Zhongwang and the dumb king Yang Hao were sworn brothers. Hu Haiyang ranked fifth among the "Eight Horses of Chang'an", and Tan Zhongwang ranked eighth. Although the two were arrogant and rogue, they were extremely loyal to the world. They tied a white silk scarf on the door knocker of the Xining Hou Mansion. When the evil young masters saw this white silk scarf, they were like little ghosts seeing the King of Hell, and they all walked around the toes.

"Have you reported this to your wife?" Xiaoyu withdrew his thoughts and asked Xiao Si anxiously.

"Not yet. Last night, I was guarding the shop alone until late at night and didn't eat a single bite of food. This morning, the restaurants on the street closed and didn't eat." Xiao Si said while lifting the pot and lifting the stove to find something to eat. Although the crispy cakes are delicious, they can't be eaten as food.

"Eat and eat, you know how to eat. Go with me to see Dalang." Xiaoyu grabbed Xiao Si's ear and pulled it away.

"Hi, don't pull it off, it's pulled off, it's been falling." Xiao Si said with a "thump" and really fell to the ground, with a piece of oily skin rubbing off the back of his hand. "Oh, this woman who has married is really unbearable. She only has his man in her heart. Do you still care about other people's lives or death?" Xiao Si said angrily while sucking the wound.

"I fell well. If I don't leave, be careful to eat my stick." Yang Fu picked up a rolling pin and chased after him. Xiao Si was obedient this time and shrank his head and ran away.
