The autumn rain and the worry are all the way.

Li Chenan was also very worried.

He got on the carriage from Shang Di, and the entire team replaced the war horses left over from the battlefield in Huaishan County.

A team of more than 300 people ran wildly in the autumn rain.

What Li Chen is worried about is the current situation in Kyoto.

It’s not who wins and who loses, but Zhongli Ruoshui’s safety!

If Xi Wei wants to take down Yujing City, he will inevitably face the Shenwu Army of the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion.

The Marquis of Dingguo is the guardian of Ningguo, so there will be no other choice in the position of the Marquis of Dingguo.

Only by destroying the Shenwu Army of the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion can Xi Wei realize his illusory ideal.

If Li Chenan fights head-on, he won’t be too worried, after all, there is an old lady Fan Taohua.

But someone like Xi Wei who is scheming will do whatever he wants for his purpose!

What Li Chenan was worried about was that he was playing tricks on his face.

For example, seize the weakness of the Dingguo Hou Mansion - Zhongli Ruoshui or other descendants of the Zhongli family to threaten Fan Taohua.

So over the years, Mrs. Fan has planned to Shuzhou. She originally thought she was leaving a way out for Zhongli's mansion, but in this Kyoto Incident, she did not send the people from Zhongli's mansion to Shuzhou... What is her intention?

Woolen cloth?

Just for the soldiers in Shuzhou?

This thought only flashed through Li Chenan's mind. He did not think about it because the team had arrived in Tai'an City.

The city gate is open and in the air.

The team walked through the city without being blocked.

Just over ten miles outside the city, the team's speed suddenly slowed down. He lifted the curtain of the car and saw... a corpse on the ground!

There is the corpse of the Shenwu Army wearing black armor.

There are also the corpses of the Red Flame Army with red tassels tied to their helmets.

The battle here has ended, and I don’t know how to win or lose, because I didn’t see a single living person.

The team continues to move forward.

Wang Zheng, who was exploring the way ahead, has returned from a horse.

He came to Li Chenan's carriage and whispered:

"Mr. Xiao Li, the gate of Kyoto has been closed, and the city... is extremely chaotic!"

"The palace has been surrounded, mostly people of Kyoto, mixed with unknown soldiers."

"According to people from the six departments, it is very likely that they are the ten thousand dead soldiers in Qishan!"

"The palace is guarded by the Shenwu Army. There are no signs of attacking the palace. The two sides seem to be in a stalemate, and maybe they are waiting for something."

"Ji Tai'an's family was killed. Miss Ruoshui was not in Meiyuan. I heard that she had already gone to Yunjibian."

Li Chenan pondered for a moment, not surprised by Ji Tai's murder.

Because Ji Tai is a chess piece in Xi Wei's hand, now is the best time to sacrifice this piece to demonstrate justice and mobilize the emotions of the people of Kyoto.

"Distance to the clouds and gather in the fields!"

The team turned and left the field.

At this moment, Fan Taohua, who was seriously injured, had just arrived in Yunjijiejie!

She didn't come here to recuperate.

But... Yun Jibei came a guest that she never expected!

...

...

"When the country is in trouble, I ask the old lady to go back to the field. It is really my husband who has something to say, and I want to have a good chat with the old lady!"

A small and elegant building in the field.

The Duke of Huaiguo, Huaipingshan, who had long been forgotten by everyone in Kyoto, was sitting in front of Fan Taohua at this moment.

He was still wearing a blue shirt, but his face became more rosy in the past.

Fan Taohua took out her handkerchief and covered her mouth and coughed a few times. She gave Duke Huai meaningful and cooked a pot of tea.

She lowered her head as she put the handkerchief in her arms.

Blood!

Dark red blood!

"Old Duke, the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion welcomes the old Duke to come and visit at any time."

"In the past ten years, the old Duke has almost been closed and has not left. My body is careless and has never looked at your Duke's mansion."

"You come today, I am very happy, but..."

Mrs. Fan raised her eyes to Huaiding Mountain, frowned slightly between her eyebrows, "It's just that you have blocked the outside of Shuiyun Mountain with so many soldiers... Xi Wei's people have entered Yujing City, so you don't worry about the prince.

Safety?"

"What you mean by this move is that I, Fan Taohua, is more dangerous than Xi Wei?"

"Or you have to propose something, and you have to ask me Fan Taohua to agree?"

Huaipingshan smiled slightly: "The old lady is too worried!"

"I don't care about it. Those soldiers are indeed soldiers raised by my Duke Huai's Mansion over the years. But I have no intention of threatening the old lady, just wanting to take the old lady into Kyoto!"

"The overall situation in Kyoto needs the old lady to take charge!"

Huai Pingshan said earnestly, and he bowed and said, "For the past few years, thank you for your care and maintenance of the Crown Prince."

"Although I have long stopped talking about the world, the prince will occasionally go to me."

"The prince said that if there was no Marquis of Dingguo Mansion, no Duke Chengguo Duke Qi and others, he would have probably been dismissed from the position of crown prince by the emperor and expelled from the Eastern Palace."

"Kyoto was already in full swing a few days ago, and I felt that this matter...is difficult to end well."

"After all, this Ning Kingdom is the Ning family's country. Since the prince is in the Eastern Palace, the future of this country will be his."

"The Marquis of Dingguo and Duke Cheng's Duke Qi's Duke is dealing with this storm. If I, Huai, are still standing by, this is what I am, is ignorant. So, I have gathered a little bit that I have finally saved over the years.

I want to leave my family to the old lady to quell the chaos in Kyoto!”

After a pause, Huaipingshan leaned over and whispered: "According to reliable news, the news from Changle Palace, the emperor..."

Fan Taohua was shocked, "What's wrong with the emperor?"

"The Emperor has passed away!"

Fan Taohua held the teapot's hand and stood in the air. After a few breaths, she put the teapot down. Instead of pouring tea, she asked very seriously:

"really?"

"How dare I talk nonsense about this kind of thing? It was Xi Wei's hand that the emperor knew Xi Wei's ambition and intended to fight back, but was killed by Xi Wei!"

"The body is still on the dragon bed in Changle Palace, and no one has cleaned up yet!"

Fan Taohua took a deep breath and frowned, "Do you have ears in Changle Palace?"

"In the early years, when the prince's mother was still alive, a little eunuch around the emperor was sent to the emperor by me. He happened to be chosen by the emperor and took him to Changle Palace... But the news about that place was extremely difficult to spread

come out."

"What means did Xi Wei control the emperor?"

"One elixir!"

Fan Taohua was stunned: "What elixir?"

"A Furong!"

"It is extremely rare. It is said to have been brought from Dali Kingdom. It makes people excited and makes people feel like they are floating and ecstatic... It is said that this is the effect of the emperor practicing Taoism."

"But this thing is addictive, and the emperor has been sucking for a long time, so he can no longer quit. He can only rely on Xi Wei to provide it every day and cut it off in one piece, and he will be in pain and will be threatened by Xi Wei."

Fan Taohua hung her eyebrows, as if she silently accepted the death of the emperor.

She pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyes to Huaidingshan and said, "The disadvantages of the current government cannot be solved by kindness."

When Huaidingshan heard this, he understood the meaning of this sentence. He was slightly stunned, "Was the old lady's candidate..."

"wait!"

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for the eldest son of the emperor to return!"

Huaidingshan sat upright and asked after a moment: "Is the eldest son really alive? Or is it that the old lady has news about the whereabouts of the eldest son?"
