Chapter 637: The Imperial City Suddenly Catches Fire
After Yan Xun changed to three inns in a row, he gave up the inn and went to a restaurant instead.
It turned out that the restaurant was actually full.
Now that the general is not in the imperial capital, he has also taken two new generals with him. Presumably most of the general's subordinates have also gone with him.
If there is any accident...
Yan Xun decisively gave up on leaving the city at the last moment and instead found a street corner to hide.
When it was getting dark, he took off his clothes and turned them over.
A light blue Confucian robe instantly turned into black.
Yan Xun jumped up onto the eaves of an inn, squinting and looking inside the inn.
If all the stores hadn't joined forces to deceive people, and so many people suddenly came to the city and filled the hotel, it would have been a big problem.
If you look carefully, you can see that although not every room in the inn has candlelight, the waiters are running back and forth delivering food and hot water.
It does seem like it's full of people?
Yan Xun turned around and bought some food in the kitchen, then climbed out along the high wall of the inn and climbed over the walls to check out the situation in the city.
Sure enough, the restaurants and inns seemed to be full of people.
And in Zhaodu City, the people in the city should return to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year at the end of the year. Even if they don't go back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year, they probably won't let their relatives come all the way to Zhaodu City to celebrate the New Year.
This has been a custom for many years.
Thinking of this, Yan Xun got ready to go to the Regent's Palace.
It would be better for him to stay for another day and take a look, which would make him feel more at ease.
But the moment he left the last inn, a fire suddenly broke out at the east gate of the imperial city not far away.
Soon, the imperial city was filled with flames and screams.
Then, men in black suddenly jumped out of all the inns that Yan Xun had just checked, and rushed towards the imperial city.
And these people don't seem to be in the same group.
Some people were running and suddenly realized something was wrong with the people around them, so they started fighting in the street.
Amid the flash of swords and shadows, Yan Xun had to jump onto the high wall again to avoid the fight.
Then, he remembered that when he went to see Xunsi Ge a few days ago, his expression was a little decisive.
"Cousin, if you don't want to help me, it's better to go back to Shuocheng earlier!"
It's not that Yan Xun doesn't want to help him.
Especially after what happened, Qin Jiaoxi was "invited" to the palace by someone sent by the prince.
He even went to Xunsi Pavilion himself to express his force field tactfully.
But faced with Xunsige's domineering demands, he backed down.
After all, who would have thought these things could happen so quickly?
In Yan Xun's imagination, even if Xunsi Pavilion wanted to compete with the prince, it would take another ten or eight years.
The fastest, maybe three to five years.
So he could definitely go back to the Sang family first, settle the matters there, and then come back next year to help the fourth prince with peace of mind.
So he ignored Xunsige's decision at all.
Anyway, when he comes back next year, the Fourth Prince will naturally understand his thoughts...
But now it seems that the situation is such that he cannot wait for his return at all, and maybe he has not even had the chance to leave.
Thinking of this, Yan Xun suddenly quickened his pace.
It is no longer a question of whether he leaves or comes back.
Imperial city, palace.
Meng Yinxun never expected that he would be forced to give up his throne.
Although he already had some suspicions in his mind and even asked the fourth prince to investigate secretly, he did not expect that this traitor would act so quickly.
Among the courtiers in the palace, he knew in his mind how many of them were on the side of the crown prince, and how many of them were on the side of the fourth prince.
It was originally a situation where the three parties were slightly balanced and able to suppress it.
But after all the calculations, he failed to calculate that the people on his side would naturally move closer to the prince.
