Jinghong Tower

Chapter 160 The Imperial City is in Danger

At the same time, a piece of news reached Pingyang.

Zhongyihou Xie Hongming died.

The army sent by the imperial court to conquer the King of Jin was called Xie Feng's army, Feng was Feng Zan, and Xie was Zhongyi Hou Xie Hongming.

The news sent by spies from Jinghong Tower revealed that Xie Hongming was not killed in battle, but was assassinated.

The assassins, two women, committed suicide on the spot.

What else didn't He Ran understand? These two female assassins were the same people as the original owners of her body.

They are all female killers trained by King Jin.

Helin Temple was where Prince Jin and his son trained killers, and it was also where Cai Ying got into trouble. He Ran always felt that there must be more secrets in Helin Temple.

It's a pity that Helin Temple is located in Wuzhai in Xinzhou. At least for now, if she wants to go, she can only sneak there with a few people.

She doesn't have time now, so she can only wait until Xinzhou is conquered in the future before going to see the Helin Temple that she has known for a long time.

Now that Xie Hongming has died, the morale of the officers and soldiers has been weakened. Even Feng Zan has been severely hit and made a mistake in his command. The King of Jin took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory and conquered several prefectures and counties one after another. Now they have reached Qingyuan!

Qingyuan is only more than three hundred miles away from the capital!

The capital is in a hurry.

He Ran wrote to Li Jinxiu, asking her to keep an eye on the little emperor's movements.

At this time, in the palace, the empress dowager and the emperor, the grandson and grandson, finally thought of a place to go.

They all want to move the capital!

Ever since King Qi came to the capital, changes had taken place in the court.

First, Guo Shoufu fell down the stairs at home and injured his leg.

After a hundred days of broken muscles and bones, Guo Shoufu is getting old again and will not be able to enter the palace in a short time.

Guo Shoufu's illness turned the other cabinet ministers into dumb gourds. They could only agree with whatever King Qi said.

As for the little emperor's proposal to move the capital, King Qi initially disagreed. Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager and the little emperor took turns crying, and even ran to the statue of Taizu to cry. King Qi finally agreed.

In fact, the Empress Dowager had been considering moving the capital since King Jin captured Pingshan Guards.

She has always disliked this capital city.

She was imprisoned here for more than forty years. During those years, she dreamed of escaping from this place.

But she didn't want to leave like a lost dog in this way.

But leaving is impossible. King Jin will not kill her, but will continue to imprison her like his grandfather did.

She is already old, she does not have the next forty years.

She didn't want to die in a cold palace.

The little emperor didn't like it here either. He would often walk involuntarily to the palace where he lived when he was a child, and he would think of many past events. At that time, he would suspect that he was not really his father's son, but was replaced by the Min family. Incoming bastard.

So he wants to change places, he is still young, and he wants to start over.

As for where to move the capital, there was another debate.

The Empress Dowager's original ideal capital was Luoyang, but that was no longer possible. King Kaizhou rebelled.

Although Kaizhou is nearly a thousand miles away from Luoyang, a wolf squatting next to her would scare her old bones to pieces.

Finally, King Qi proposed to move the capital to Jinling. Although it was a long way from the capital to Jinling, the Empress Dowager and the young emperor all agreed. If possible, they would even want to move further away, as far away from these rebellious officials and traitors as possible.

It's a pity that they are not stupid either. There are unknown dangers everywhere along the way, and it is business to settle down as soon as possible.

In the past, let alone moving the capital, even going to a palace to escape the summer heat would have taken a long time to prepare.

But now that King Jin has reached Qingyuan and is about to enter the capital, who can care about the ostentation.

Not only the emperor and the empress dowager were leaving, but also all the civil and military officials and their families!

As soon as the news of the capital relocation came out, many people also wanted to escape with them. There was chaos in the capital, and some people even started to rob shops.

When Lu Chang walked out of Jinghong Tower, he saw a group of guys who looked like refugees and gangsters wandering around nearby, glancing here from time to time.

Lu Chang sneered, he was so brave, he even dared to take action against Jinghong Tower.

Lu Chang shouted behind him: "Copycat!"

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen maids armed with spears and large knives rushed out. Lu Chang shouted loudly: "From now on, you will guard Jinghong Tower for me. Who dares to take advantage of Jinghong Tower?" Just say hello to the place of death!"

Since there is chaos, what can Miss Lu do if she kills a few people in the street?

As soon as these words came out, the idlers who were wandering around here just now suddenly dispersed.

This is not the only silver house in the capital. If it can't afford to offend Jinghong House, why can't it afford others?

Not long after, Lu Chang heard that three silver shops in the capital had been robbed, and the shopkeeper of one of them was even seriously injured.

Lu Chang told the government that she would not go home at all, and would stay at Jinghong Tower for food and accommodation.

At this time, the situation in Marquis Wu'an's mansion was tense.

After Wu'an Marquis Lu Pingnan was transferred back to the capital, although he had handed over the military power in the border areas, he still had 5,000 guards in his hands. The King of Qi wanted Lu Pingnan and his 5,000 guards to stay in the capital. Once the Jin Dynasty When the king comes, it is up to them to delay and prevent King Jin from catching up.

In other words, Marquis Wu An and his five thousand people were left to die.

With Marquis Wu'an's temperament, he agreed without saying a word. He would be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. This was something he knew from his mother's womb.

But Mrs. Wu Anhou refused. Now her son is missing and her husband is left to die. Her heart is broken.

His wife's tears could not stop Marquis Wu An, and he had already made up his mind.

Mrs. Wu'anhou had no choice but to come to see her mother-in-law Li Jinxiu, crying so hard.

Li Jinxiu snorted coldly: "At this time, why haven't you thought about how your son is doing? With the war in chaos, is he still alive?"

Regarding Lu Zhen's whereabouts, only Li Jinxiu and Lu Chang knew in this mansion.

Even the parents of Wu Anhou and his wife only knew that their stubborn son had run away from home.

As for the second and third bedrooms, the news they received was that Lu Zhen went to recuperate outside the city.

Although they felt that the time to recuperate was a bit too long, they did not dare to ask unless Li Jinxiu said anything.

Now that Li Jinxiu asked, Mrs. Wu Anhou was stunned and asked cautiously: "Mother, Zhen'er, is Zhen'er okay?"

"Humph, he's not dead yet." Li Jinxiu said coldly.

Mrs. Wu Anhou was so choked that she didn't know what to say. How could she not be worried about her son? She didn't dare to worry. She didn't even dare to ask. Every time she asked, her mother-in-law would choke her and become speechless.

"Mother, Zhen'er is the meat that fell off my body. Why don't I feel sorry for him? But my daughter-in-law knows that you are taking care of him. Whenever she thinks of this, she feels at ease. You are the anchor of our family."

Li Jinxiu's face finally looked a little better: "Come here, call all the people in the second and third bedrooms, and then go and inform the princess. If she is free, she can come and sit down."

The princess Li Jinxiu talks about is her second daughter-in-law, Princess Zhou Liru of Jinshan
