Chapter 371 Elegy Five

Kyoto is under martial law.

Thousands of households in Kyoto closed their doors and windows.

But in the crack of the door, in the window hole, there are pairs of eyes watching.

Teams of soldiers passed by on the street, including the Habayashi Army, the City Guard Army, and a small group of policemen from the Jingzhao Mansion.

The Xiangfu's defenses are stricter than ever.

Ji Tai didn't close his eyes for two whole days and two nights, he walked back and forth in the study for a long time with his eyes red.

There are many high-ranking officials in his study.

They didn't come to the prime minister's mansion for refuge, but waited here for the news of the changes in the capital.

But three days have passed so far, but none of those news has come back.

For example, the soldiers of Nanping City and Fenglai City should have come to the city at this time.

For example, Gao Zhanting, the governor of the Wucheng Bingma Division, should have mastered the Sifang City Gate at this time, and should have opened the Sifang City Gate to welcome the soldiers from Nanping City and Fenglai City, but Gao Zhanting disappeared quietly. !

Another example is Tai'an City, which was occupied by the Shenwu Army. According to the plan, it should have been captured by the Chiyan Army at this moment.

and many more.

Just when Ji Tai was restless, the butler Kang Shiji hurried in.

He bowed and said in a low voice: "Master, Xi Wei is here!"

Ji Tai was surprised, and then overjoyed, "Please!"

"Master, Xi Wei didn't come alone."

Ji Tai frowned, "How many people are here?"

"a lot of!"

Before Kang Shiji could finish his sentence, an old man wearing a black robe and a black scarf was already standing outside the study.

Ji Tai looked over the old man's shoulders, and saw a group of black-clothed soldiers standing in the yard under the autumn rain.

"What does it mean?"

"Kyoto is a bit chaotic, of course the old man must consider safety..."

Xi Wei stepped in, looked at the room full of civil and military ministers, and suddenly showed a smile:
"Ji Xiang moved the court to his home?"

"We have to discuss something... Please sit down."

"The old man still has something to do, so I won't sit down."

"What's the matter?"

"Welcome the Red Flame Army into the city."

Ji Tai was overjoyed immediately, "When can I enter the city?"

"About evening."

"How is Tai'an City?"

"The soldiers in Tai'an City are not the Shenwu Army!"

Ji Tai was startled, "What about the Shenwu Army?"

"Ten thousand are in Huaishan County, and twenty thousand are in...the palace!"

When Ji Tai and other ministers heard this, their eyes widened.

Ji Tai hurriedly asked again: "Then... Qianniuwei...?"

"Except for Chen Zhe and his left guard, everyone else is dead!"

When Ji Tai heard this, it was like a thunderbolt exploding above his head.

He staggered back two steps, fortunately he was supported by Kang Shiji, he looked at Xi Wei in disbelief, "So, my son Ji Tuo..."

"Also dead."

"But don't be sad. When the wall falls, many people will be killed after all."

Xi Wei's eyes flicked across Ji Tai's face, and he glanced at the room full of ministers, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

He stepped out of the study room, turned around and said to Ji Tai:
"Your son was just one step ahead of you."

"Originally, you should be left to Li Chen'an to kill, because killing you with his own hands will give him a better and greater reputation."

"But I thought about it, it's better for him to do less of things like blood staining."

"An old man like me won't be able to live for a few years anyway. I'm still in charge of this kind of thing."

Ji Tai was shocked, "You... who are you?"

"Didn't you agree to kill Li Chen'an?"

"You, you... the old man understands!"

"Xi Wei, the game you have laid out from beginning to end is not aimed at Li Chen'an, but at this old man!"

Xi Wei raised his eyebrows, "You? How can you be worthy of the old man's plan to target you?"

"go to hell!"

He waved.

The group of soldiers rushed into the study.

Heartbreaking screams sounded.

For a moment, there was silence.

Blood flowed from the study.

It flowed into the yard and flowed into the mud ditch with the rain.

Xi Wei took a look, turned around, and led the group of dead men who had already come down from Qishan Mountain to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion where no one was left alive.

On this day, countless ministers in Kyoto were wiped out.

On this day, Ji Tai's head was hung on the city wall!

On this day, the news that almost all of Ji Tai's lineage was conferred was spread in Kyoto.

As a result, the windows of thousands of households that were originally closed suddenly opened.

Then, those doors gradually opened.

Someone came out of the door, initially frightened, and then gradually became more courageous.

They also hold knives.

Hatchet or kitchen knife at home.

They began to gather, like a trickle, towards the wall where Ji Tai's head hung.

Just in the square under the city wall, they converge into the city river.

When they saw the familiar head that had terrified them, they rejoiced, shouted, reveled, and then went to the palace.

Outside the imperial palace, the people of Kyoto gradually gathered here to form a sea!

Su Muxin is also in this sea.

He looked at these crazy people in shock, then looked at the originally extremely strong wall of the palace, and suddenly felt that the wall might really fall down.

He left the sea and returned to the small courtyard of his mentor in the backyard of the Taiyuan Academy.

It is still the gazebo.

Hua Manting was already sitting under the gazebo, and had already made a pot of tea.

……

……

The third prince Ning Zhiyuan stood beside the chrysanthemum garden very nervously.

Concubine Li put down her hoe and walked over, looked at Ning Zhixing's frightened face, and smiled calmly: "Are you scared?"

Ning Zhixing swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "My child is a little worried."

"Worried about the [-] Shenwu Army not being able to defend?"

"Um,"

Ning Zhixing nodded, "The momentum created by Xi Wei is too powerful. He has incited too many people in the capital, and the Shenwu Army may not be able to handle it."

Concubine Li Gui walked towards a small pavilion in front of her.

He put the hoe at the door, and hung the bamboo hat and coir raincoat on the wall.

A court lady brought a bowl of hot ginger tea, and she took it and took a sip.

"What's the reaction from the East Palace?"

"The boy just came back from there. Brother Prince...he doesn't seem to be afraid, but rather happy. I don't know why."

Concubine Li put down the teacup, looked at the autumn rain outside the window, and the chrysanthemums that looked more delicate in the autumn rain.

"Xi Wei did make a good move."

"But one person seems to be overlooked by all."

Ning Zhixing was startled: "Who?"

"Duke Huai, Huaiping Mountain!"

"There are indeed many people outside the palace walls, but sheep are always sheep, no matter how many there are, they are still sheep."

"The Imperial Palace is besieged, and the Eastern Palace is in danger. How could Huaipingshan see his own grandson standing under the dangerous wall?"

"Nanping City and Fenglai City were originally controlled by Ji Tai. My mother thought that the guards in these two cities would be used by Ji Tai... Now it seems that my mother still underestimated Huaiping Mountain!"

Ning Zhixing swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "What mother means... the fifty thousand soldiers and horses in these two cities are actually people from Huaiping Mountain?"

"Originally, my mother just doubted it, but now I can be sure."

"Why?"

"Because Xi Wei did not launch an attack on the palace!"

"I'm afraid he also realizes that something is wrong."

"If he wants to capture the palace, he must first deal with the garrison troops in those two cities, otherwise he will face the unfavorable situation of attacking from front to back."

As the autumn rain rustled, Concubine Li looked sad, "Huaiping Mountain is the oriole!"

"A lot of people will die!"

"This is not autumn rain, but a... blood rain!"
