The sky in June can change at a moment's notice. When the strong wind passed by the lanterns on the long street, there were many ghosts and shadows. The wind roared and the trees and grass were all deserted. The street was so quiet that only the dull sound of the sword piercing the bone and blood was heard. Xie Xun quickly killed six forbidden soldiers.
His brocade clothes were stained with blood, his eyebrows were stern, and he strode toward Feng Yu with a heavy sword in his hand, carrying the coldness of the autumn wind.
He grabbed Feng Yu's chin, lifted it up, and kissed him fiercely. Feng Yu smelled the strong bloody smell on his body, and tears fell instantly.
Xie Xun!
The intense and desperate kiss was like the only comfort in the long dark night. Feng Yu pressed her palm against his heart, and the violently beating heart revealed his anger and hatred. Xie Xun let her go and said sorry in her ear. He
Turning on the horse, Nuanyang wanted to get up, but was dragged by Qiuxiang. Chai Feng raised his hooves impatiently. Xie Xun looked at Feng Yu condescendingly, as if it was his last look, trying to impress her face deeply in his mind.
"Help me take care of Nuanyang!" Xie Xun stopped lingering and rode towards the west of the city. One man and one horse quickly disappeared into the night. Feng Yu came back to her senses and told Qiu Xiang, "Take him home and enter through the side door.
Don't disturb others."
"yes!"
Feng Yu pulled up her skirt and ran frantically towards Feng Mansion. Something happened in the Hou Mansion, and her sister was still in the Hou Mansion. Apart from running away for her life, this was the first time she ran with all her strength.
She knew that the entire Xie family was in doom!
Regicide is a grave crime that implicates all nine clans!
The nine clans... are really ridiculous! Several generations of the Xie family have been born and died for Yanyang. Of all the Xie clan, only Zhenbei Hou is the only one left. The first three generations of men almost died in the war.
The cunning rabbit dies and the lackeys cook him. It seems like a curse for a great general who is famous all over the world to not end well.
The Feng Mansion was still celebrating the wedding of Feng Shu and Xie Zhang, thanking the guests, and the Hou Mansion and the Feng family were filled with running water banquets for three days and three nights, making it very lively. When Feng Yu rushed into the Feng Mansion with blood-stained hands, Feng Changqing was chatting with her
Colleagues toasted to celebrate, but what happened was so sudden that the prince sent the imperial army to blockade the prince's mansion, and no one got the news.
"Third girl, what's wrong with you?"
"Ayu, what happened?"
Feng Yu's tears were still wet, her palms and clothes were stained with blood, and she was in a state of embarrassment. She rushed to Feng Changqing, "Something happened in the Hou Mansion. The prince sent the imperial army to surround the Hou Mansion, and his own soldiers broke out to find Xie Xun, saying that it was
The marquis killed the emperor and committed regicide."
Feng Yu did not dare to add fuel to the fire and brought Nuanyang's original words. As soon as she finished speaking, the whole hall fell silent. Feng Changqing was surrounded by generals who had been fighting enemies in Ningzhou for many years.
Thunder exploded, and a moment later, it was like adding fuel to the fire, and the crowd was furious.
"How can it be!"
"Why did the Marquis commit regicide and rebel? Third girl, don't talk nonsense!"
"Third Miss, this is true!"
Cui Lansong had stood up and threw the wine glass, "This is definitely a frame-up. It is impossible for the Marquis to commit regicide and rebel. I want to go to the Marquis's mansion."
Suddenly, three red fireworks exploded in the direction of Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and the expressions of several generals changed instantly. This was a signal of extreme fear to the Ningzhou soldiers, and the commander was killed.
The roaring voice was suppressed in an instant.
"Master Hou!" Cui Lansong strode out, and several generals followed him outside the house. Feng Changqing said in a deep voice, "Come here, prepare your horses and order your troops!"
There are three hundred soldiers in General Dingguo's mansion. They are having fun with the general tonight. After Feng Changqing gave the order, the soldiers quickly dressed up because it was a wedding banquet. All the soldiers took off their armor and swords and were unprepared. Fortunately, Feng Changqing
There is a weapons depot in the mansion. Although the weapons are insufficient, half of the people can equip them with weapons.
The whole banquet was filled with panic, and everyone knew that something big had happened. Feng Changlin came over to stop Feng Changqing, and called out to Feng Changqing in a hurry, "Brother, the situation in the Marquis Mansion is unknown. If the Crown Prince really sends the Imperial Guard to surround the Mansion, can you lead the troops and fight with him?"
Contending with them is a crime of conspiracy, and hundreds of lives in the Feng family will be ruined. We'd better wait and see what happens and don't get involved in disputes."
"Mother, brother, I am the general of the Marquis. I must not sit idly by when he is in trouble!" Feng Changqing knelt down and kowtowed heavily to the old lady, "Shu'er is still in the Marquis' mansion, and her life or death is uncertain. Mother, please
Forgive Changqing for being unfilial!"
"Shu'er's life is more important, or the lives of the whole family in Feng Mansion? If the Marquis really kills the king and commits rebellion, it is natural for the prince to kill the Marquis. What are you going to do with your troops? Are you going to join in the rebellion?" Feng Changlin scolded,
"Although the Hou family and the Feng family are related by marriage, they are not from the nine clans of the Hou family. If you want to risk the lives of the whole family, I will never agree!"
"The Marquis will never commit regicide and rebel. Someone must have set it up!" Feng Changqing said firmly, "Tonight is the wedding of Xie Zhang and Shu'er. Who would force the palace to rebel on the wedding day of the eldest son?"
Feng Changlin still wanted to reprimand, but the old lady said softly, "Changqing, go ahead!"
Feng Changqing was moved, kowtowed three times, and stood up resolutely. The soldiers had brought armor. He quickly dressed up and walked out. Su Yuejiao hugged Feng Yu and said with tears, "Auntie, I'm sorry for you, mother."
, I want to abandon you again."
"Mother, you and your father must come back safely." Feng Yu's voice was choked with sobs, and the generals attending the banquet in Feng Mansion quickly left with Feng Changqing.
The Feng Mansion was in chaos. Before the banquet was over, something unexpected happened, and it was a major crime that implicated the nine clans. Some people distanced themselves from each other, while others were trembling with fear. There were many discussions and panic.
The old lady stood up with the help of Rong's mother, "Shu'er's wedding is originally a happy event, so I invited relatives and friends to congratulate me, but unexpectedly something happened tonight. The future of my Feng family is uncertain, and life and death are uncertain. I would like to express my gratitude here.
Dear relatives and friends, I wish you all peace and longevity. This is the end of tonight’s wedding banquet. Please disperse and stay safe."
After the wedding banquet was over, Feng Yu accompanied the old lady and politely sent off the relatives. Anyuan Hou and his family finally left. Mrs. Anyuan Hou took Feng Yu aside and said, "Aunt, if something happens to the Hou Mansion, I'm afraid...
The odds are stacked against you. After we leave, you and Feng Jian should hide as soon as possible. If you can leave, it's better to be alone."
"Ah, thank you, madam, for your concern." Ah Yu sent Anyuan Hou and his wife away gracefully. Princess Xuelan turned around every step of the way, fearing that she would never see Feng Yu again in this life.
After the guests left, only family members were left. Feng Mansion didn’t have many family members in Kyoto. Many of them came from Liling. They hitched a carriage and wanted to leave all night. Feng Yu calmed down and said softly, "There is a curfew tonight. The imperial guards and Jin Yiwei will be here soon."
It will spread all over Kyoto, and the city gates have been closed for a long time. I am afraid that I will not be able to leave the city in the near future. All uncles and aunts should go to the outer houses to hide. Wait until the storm has passed before leaving the city. You can go to Sanheng Street to find Shopkeeper Wen, and she will arrange it for you."
The eldest lady was lost in thought and slumped down on the soft stool. Feng Changlin and the old lady were arguing fiercely about something, and Feng Jiao kept crying beside her.
In the chaos, only Feng Yu calmly handled the family affairs.
If the Feng Mansion is in trouble, the Nine Clans will not be able to escape, but the matter has not yet been settled, and there is still a glimmer of hope. The relatives are quite complaining about Feng Changqing's insistence on leading troops to the Hou Mansion. If he is involved in rebellion, the Nine Clans will be punished. Feng Yu can understand
From their fear, hundreds of people in the clan, old and young, are hardly spared.
"Zhang Da, close the door tightly and guard the door tonight. Don't open the door to anyone except father!"
"Yes!" Zhang Da accepted the order.
Feng Yu told Chun Lu, "Go to the trading company and transfer all the people who can be mobilized to guard the mansion. In the chaos, prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters and deliberately causing trouble."
"yes!"
Chunlu left the house from the small door, and Feng Yu sent out all the people she could. Feng Yu stroked the soul-suppressing pearl uneasily, Xie Xun, I hope you have left the city and lived well. Only alive can there be hope!
The first time Feng Changlin contradicted the old lady, he was so angry that he threw the bowl. His eldest son was an official in Liling, and his eldest daughter Feng Wan was married to Prince Duan. She was already one month pregnant. If she was involved in treason, it would be difficult for everyone except Feng Wan.
Feng Changlin did not agree with Feng Changqing and Su Yuejiao to lead troops to the Hou Mansion.
rescue?
The marquis killed the emperor, in what name was he used to rescue him?
rebellion?
The imperial guards and imperial guards all over the city are plotting rebellion. The prince sent people to surround the mansion, so he must have been fully prepared. He would have a narrow escape from death and bring harm to the family.
"Without the help of the Marquis, you would still be a petty official in Ningzhou, and Chang Qing would not be the general of Dingguo. The Feng family would not be honored by this. Since Shu'er and Xie Zhang got engaged, the fate of the Feng Mansion and the Hou Mansion are connected.
, how can he be alone. The Hou Mansion has shielded the Feng family from the wind and rain for more than ten years. The Feng family and the Hou Mansion should be on the same page and not be ungrateful people. Sharing the honor and disgrace, we can only sit back and enjoy the glory, not bear the wind and rain together.
What's the difference between us and animals?" The old lady has experienced three dynasties, ups and downs, and has already seen clearly, "Wait, life and death... are tonight!"
Suddenly, the sound of a rapid march roared past outside the house, and the sound of horse hooves almost broke through the dark night as they galloped away. Feng Yu saw the fluttering tiger flag.
The flag of Zhenbei Cavalry!
what happened?
Chunlu transferred more than 200 bodyguards and merchant guards to the Hou Mansion, and also brought news, "Girl, it's not good, the young Marquis has gone to the Hou Mansion with three thousand cavalry."
Feng Yu's heart skipped a beat, why didn't Xie Xun leave the city? Didn't Xie Zhang's brother tell him to leave the city and not return to his mansion? He turned around and led his cavalry towards the Hou Mansion.
Regardless of whether the Marquis of Zhenbei was treasonous or not, once the cavalry attacked the Imperial Guards, they would have committed a rebellion, and it would be difficult to turn back.
He is Xie Xun!
Feng Yu thought sadly and proudly, how could the young marquis, who was dressed in bright clothes, angry with horses, and high-spirited, obey Xie Zhang's words and live alone. Even though he knew that an egg could hit a rock and a mayfly could shake a tree, he still had to fight hard to find a way out.
Or be buried with family members.
Cries of killing came and went, and fire and killings rose together, rolling into the clouds.
