Chapter 415 Chaos
Sima Yi did not expect that after Xiao Ling knew the truth, he still regarded him as a friend. At this time, Xiao Ling was completely unaware of his situation. Even if he was talking about it, the people from the Cao Gang would not send him back easily.
"The martial law in the city is not because King Hui is missing?" Sima asked.
Dong Sheng shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be. There are soldiers and horses outside the city entering the city, and they are heading towards the palace. Maybe... there will be civil strife in Jinling City."
Sima took a breath, but he didn't expect Li Shanye's prediction to be so accurate. More than half a month ago, when he met Li Shanye, Li Shanye could not say that Jinling City would inevitably be in chaos without fighting. At that time, everything was peaceful in Jinling City, and there was no sign of chaos when singing and dancing became peaceful. But in just over half a month, the prophecy was true.
Dong Sheng continued: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, how many... but what preparations are needed?"
"No need." Sima Yi smiled helplessly, "In a dangerous place, there is no need to be polite."
After saying that, Sima Yi looked back at Xiao Ling, but found that Xiao Ling was standing there with half of the dried food he had eaten, and forgot to chew what he hadn't swallowed in his mouth.
"Is there something going on... a mess?" Xiao Ling asked with an incredible look.
"Yes." Dong Sheng did not avoid it in front of Xiao Ling, "It was the prime minister who mobilized his troops into the city. Now the palace gate is closed. When I came, there was already a voice of war at the entrance of the palace gate, and it was probably still going on at this time."
Xiao Ling barely swallowed the dry food that he had not finished eating in his mouth, with tears on his face, as if he was more sad as he thought about it, and finally sat on the ground and cried loudly.
"Get up. Get up! What are you doing? Want to make trouble and let people know that you are here?" The brothers of the Cao Gang were not polite at all. They went up and fist and kicked each other, but were stopped by Sima Lian.
Dong Sheng also intended to stop his brothers from abused Xiao Ling and said, "Someone can wait for a moment. I will go find a place to change your place. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to find this place by the government."
"I...I have a place to go." Xiao Ling, who was still sitting on the ground crying, suddenly raised his hand and said.
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him.
"You... don't think I want to escape... Actually, I just want to help. I have some houses in the city. As long as I hide in it, no one dares to go in and investigate." Xiao Ling said.
Dong Sheng did not have much knowledge, but at this time he looked at Sima Jie with inquisitive eyes.
Sima Yi shook his head slightly and said, "Now Xie Rumo's rebellion. The disappearance of King Hui will make Xie Rumo think that King Hui took the opportunity to hide and mobilize troops to Jinling. King Hui's house is not safe."
Dong Sheng thought, that's the same thing. Now Xie Rumo is clearly trying to usurp the throne, and King Hui is a member of the royal family, and that's Xie Rumo's confidant. At this time, Xie Rumo had already controlled the inner and outer cities of Jinling, and the only one left is the imperial city. As long as he was allowed to occupy the palace and kill the young master and Empress Dowager He, the world would be his.
At this time, any obstacles placed in front of Xie Rumo will be eliminated by Xie Rumo without hesitation. Although Xiao Ling is not in conflict with the world on weekdays, Xie Rumo has no reason to keep him alive. Maybe at this time, Xie Rumo has sent someone to capture Xiao Ling.
Dong Sheng left in a hurry.
When Dong Sheng left, the atmosphere in the courtyard was a little strange.
Xiao Ling sat there and cried loudly, and finally seemed to calm down. She didn't say a word on the ground, and was stunned.
It was not until after his death at noon that Dong Sheng came back and brought back a message: "The Prince Hui's Mansion has been seized."
"My mansion has been seized? Who is it? Xie Xiang? No, it was the Xie Thief who did it? He...what did he want to do? I am so respectful to him on weekdays, why are you so unkind? What about the palace? My sister-in-law, and the princess and the others... are you safe now?"
Xiao Ling's series of questions also puzzled Dong Sheng.
Originally, the Cao Gang kidnapped Xiao Ling to have an extra hostage, which would come in handy at the critical moment. Unexpectedly, this would have "rescued" Xiao Ling. Otherwise, Xiao Ling would have been taken by Xie Rumo at this time and would have been killed by Xie Rumo.
Sima Yi asked, "Does Xie Rumo know that King Hui was kidnapped?"
"It shouldn't be known," Dong Sheng said, "Just yesterday, when soldiers and horses began to enter the city outside the city. After that, the Hui Palace was sealed off unless the people from the Hui Palace informed me."
Sima thought for a while and shook his head slightly, "Even if the people from Prince Hui's Mansion say that Prince Hui was kidnapped, Xie Rumo would not believe it."
Dong Sheng also thought about it and nodded. This is an obvious truth. Just as Xie Rumo was about to rebel, he seized the Hui Mansion. The people in the Hui Mansion said that King Hui was kidnapped rather than hiding him. How could Xie Rumo's cunning cunning believe such nonsense?
"What's the situation in the palace?" Sima Zhi asked.
Sima Zhi asked it, which was also Xiao Ling’s most concerned issue. He asked just now, and Dong Sheng was too lazy to pay attention to him.
"The martial law in the city is not known. However, before they could be killed in, a brother came back and said that the soldiers outside the city had a bloody battle at several city gates. There were too many people dead in the direction of the city gate, but the war had not stopped."
Sima sighed. He didn't expect that one day he would have the opportunity to leave Jinling, but it was when civil strife broke out in Jinling City.
After Dong Sheng finished speaking, he left first.
It was dusk and sunset that Dong Sheng came back, and there was a woman who came with him. When Xiao Ling saw this woman, her eyes were straightened because although this woman was wearing military uniform, she looked very beautiful, much more beautiful than the singer and dancer in his mansion. Moreover, he had never seen a woman who could wear a military uniform so "beautiful".
Sima Yi recognized this person as Daxiliu. He had no good feelings for this woman before because she was Mrs. Luo, but because Han Jian had a strong trust in Daxiliu, he had never had any direct conflicts with Daxiliu before.
"Miss Xiliu." Sima Yi saw Da Xiliu and personally welcomed him to the yard and saluted him.
When Sima Yi saw Daxiliu, he knew that it was the Eastern Prince's Mansion who sent someone to rescue him, saying that the Cao Gang was not "taking his own initiative". While this made him feel at ease, he also felt that there was hope of escaping from Jinling.
"Mr. Sima, the young woman came to rescue Mr. Sima and His Highness the Crown Prince at the order of the young master." Daxi Liu bowed his fists and said.
Daxiliu said, and found that behind Sima Yi was a man who looked like a slutty. The man was looking at her with an inclined look. The gaze made her very familiar, which was the rich young men who had been flocking to her before. This made Daxiliu feel annoying when she saw it.
"King Hui, this is Miss Xiliu, and it was sent by my friend...." Sima Yi saw Xiao Ling's thoughts and introduced. At the same time, he was also reminding Xiao Ling that this is not something you can easily mess with.
King Hui smiled and nodded, forgetting how he even said anything. At this time, Miss Qian had been thrown to Java by him, and his eyes and heart were full of this "exotic" Miss Xiliu.
"Crown Prince, but is it rescued?" Sima Yi asked very much about Yang Xi's safety.
Daxi Liu shook her head helplessly and said, "I don't know where the prince is imprisoned now."
Sima thought about it. He had seen Yang Xi once before and probably remembered some things, but he did not meet Yang Xi in the place where Yang Xi was detained. He suddenly remembered something, turned around and looked at Xiao Ling, and asked, "King Hui, but still remember, where did I take the prince from?"
"Ah?" Xiao Ling was stunned. After thinking for a long time, he realized from the stunning absent mind, "Your prince, do you think that Young Master Yang? He...he...how do I know where he is? Master Zhu brought him here. Master Zhu should know it."
"Zhu Tongjing?" Sima thought for a while. In fact, he was imprisoned by Zhu Tongjing. However, later, because Xiao Ling was close to him, Zhu Tongjing slacked off his care in order to give Xiao Ling some face and allowed him to come out and have fun with Xiao Ling. "Miss Xiliu, do you have any news about Zhu Tongjing's whereabouts?"
"I don't know." Daxi Liu said, "Zhu Tongjing has been missing for many days."
Sima thought about it and felt that the Empress Dowager's party could not have noticed that Xie Rumo was planning to usurp the throne. The reason why Empress Dowager He did not have an attack was that he felt that he could not control the situation in Jinling City, so he could only focus on outside Jinling City, the Northern Army or the Southern Army, and mobilized troops to rescue him. Empress Dowager He must have thought that he had discovered it earlier, so he secretly sent Zhu Tongjing to transfer his troops and horses, and everything would be fine, but he did not expect that Xie Rumo would find out in advance and launch a rebellion in advance.
Sima Yi couldn't imagine what the consequences would be if the palace was captured and Zhu Tongjing didn't have time to transfer his troops to come. Could it be that Xie Rumo would become the emperor himself, and the Qi Dynasty would fall into civil strife like the Wei Dynasty?
"What is the arrangement of the young master for you?" Sima Zhi asked.
Daxi Liu looked embarrassed and said, "Forgive me, Master Sima, the task assigned by the young master cannot be easily disclosed. But Master Sima is relieved. He will send Master Sima out of the city within one or two days. Please wait for peace of mind first."
Sima said with his heart that Jinling is already so chaotic that it still makes me feel at ease, how can I rest assured?
If it were before, even Han Jian was present, he would have complained and complained long ago. But after this year, his mentality has changed a lot. He knew very well that even a big Xiliu could not offend him casually. After all, Han Jian regarded him as a friend, but he was actually a counselor of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and he might not even be considered a counselor.
Sima thought to himself that the "mission" that Da Xiliu didn't say should have saved him and Yang Xi and left Jinling City together.
At night, Sima Yi felt more and more uneasy. Especially when he thought that someone knocked on the door for no reason last night, he thought that someone might have known their hiding place.
At the second update, there was a knock at the door, and Sima Yixin became nervous immediately, but after listening carefully, he realized that it was a member of the Cao Gang.
The person who came was Dong Sheng and Da Xiliu, but there was another person behind them. This person, he knew it was a woman at first glance, and Sima Yi felt "familiar" when he saw it.
"Little Emperor's niece? Why are you here?" Xiao Ling jumped out and greeted the woman. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
