atypical prostitute

Chapter 274 Counterattack
When the Geng Drum was beaten for the third time, in the dead of night, the lights in Nanyuan were still bright.

Fu Li dismissed the maid and looked at Ye Chang who was sleeping soundly on the small carved bed in a daze by the candlelight. He was only four or five years old, but he always liked to frown his eyebrows in his sleep, with a serious look.

I really don't know who I learned this habit from.

Fu Lici sighed.

Time flies, and unconsciously, Yun'er has been away from this world for more than three years.In the past three years, their husband and wife joined hands to pacify the Western Regions and then destroy the Pei family, forcing the queen mother to death and forcing the king of Wei to retreat. Even the emperor faction, who realized that raising tigers was a danger, dared not speak out against their domineering.Today's Ye family can be said to dominate the court and speak their minds.But everything went so well that she was a little worried.

Half a month ago, the long-planned conspiracy was officially launched.

First of all, there was smoke from the frontier, and the Turks, who had finally recovered from Emperor Wu's crusade, did not change their minds. They once again assembled [-] cavalry to cross the Great Wall, burning, killing, and looting.When the news spread to Chang'an, the Manchu court was furious and the crowd was excited. Ye Chuan, who was the Taifu and the king with a different surname, led a hundred thousand troops to the frontier, vowing that the Turkic people would never return!

However, as soon as the army set out, changes occurred in the capital.

The first to attack was the Prince Regent who was forced to sue for illness and recuperate for three years.

Forced by the situation, the king of Wei, who had to let go of the imperial power, never gave up seizing power for a moment. Ye Chuan led the army to leave Chang'an, and the "severe illness" over there healed without medicine. Prime Minister Government Affairs!

Immediately afterwards, Ye Ping, the commander of the imperial army affiliated to the branch of the Ye family, suddenly fell off his horse and broke his spine.

Although everything is still brewing, Fu Lici has already smelled the bloody smell of the storm with his keen political intuition.However, the strange thing was that the feast was about to begin, but she didn't feel scared at all. They were obviously unarmed, and they who were always behind her to help her tide over difficulties were gone.

Even without them, I can kill this group of villains who only dare to shoot cold arrows in the back!
Fu Lici thought grimly, and touched the sleeve arrow tied to his arm.

Along the way, she has sacrificed too much, even if it is just for the blood of those people not to be shed in vain, she will not let these young people succeed!

……

……

"Sir, wait a moment, the princess has already rested!"

Just as Fu Lici was thinking about the past and secretly plotting to kill, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside.

Realizing that the enemy was probably officially launching it, she casually made a crimson diphtheria robe, looked at the child sleeping soundly on the crib, and walked out of the inner room lightly.

"what happened?"

She found that the counselors waiting in the hall were in a panicked state, their hair was disheveled, their belts were dragging, and their collars were not as neat as before.

She looked at them indifferently, sat down and said calmly, "It's so embarrassing, but the mutiny happened?"

"Not yet, but the situation will not be worse than soldiers."

The middle-aged literati who spoke was named Xu Beizi. His grandpa was once a doctor of Guanglu in the Northern Wei Dynasty. When the throne of the Northern Wei Dynasty changed in the 15th year of Pingkang, he was hacked to death because he disobeyed the powerful minister Yu Wenlong.After the fall of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Xu family's status plummeted even more. The son of the aristocratic family was reduced to the title of Mr. Library. It was only by chance two years ago that he joined Ye Chuan's command.

Ye Chuan didn't like Xu Beizi. Although this down-and-out family son had suffered a lot in the world, he still had the nobility of a famous family in his bones. He was rigid in dealing with many things, which was ridiculously pedantic.Therefore, among the many aides in the palace, although he is talented and handsome, and has a good reputation, he has never been reused.

But Li Ci likes Xu Beizi. His aloofness may seem out of place in this era of moral decline, but it is a commendable persistence.On the contrary, it was Yang Yongjin whom Ye Chuan admired quite a lot, but she didn't like it very much.This man's eyes are too naked, he only sees benefits at all times, without any humanity!
Li Ci has no objection to Ye Chuan's reuse of Yang Yongjin. After all, those who achieve great things don't care about small things, but after they have achieved great things, they have to care about reputation.

Fortunately, during this expedition, Ye Chuan took Yang Yongwen away, so she didn't have to look into Yang Yongxuan's lifeless eyes.

"Has the Forbidden Army been completely controlled?"

Li Ci said calmly, as early as when Ye Ping suddenly fell off the horse, she knew that there would be today. Although Liu Ke, who temporarily took Ye Ping's position, belonged to the Emperor's faction, the Emperor's party has also been dissatisfied with Ye's family for a long time.

In any situation, if it suddenly changes from a three-legged confrontation to a two-to-two confrontation, allies will quickly become enemies.

What's more, the Ye family's power is already overwhelmingly strong. If the emperor faction didn't join forces with King Wei to destroy the Ye family, Li Ci would find it inconceivable.

But thinking of the razor-cold eyes of the counselor Yang Yongnan when he sent Ye Chuan to the battle, Li Ci felt that the mantis catching the cicada and the oriole were behind this incident!

but--

She quickly denied this suspicion, and calmly ordered the maid to call Zhan Yifan who was in charge of guarding the palace immediately. At the same time, she ordered all the horses and carriages in the palace to be ready, and all the swords in the arsenal were also removed. Take it out, even though the storm has not officially arrived, she has to prepare for the worst.

Time flowed almost stagnantly, as if it was a moment or a century, when he heard the sonorous and powerful armor rubbing sound from the corridor, Li Ci could hardly contain the tension in his heart, and wanted to run out to inquire about the situation.

But she held back, and everyone in the hall and even the entire palace looked at her, calm because of her calmness.If she reveals her fear, the palace will immediately fall into chaos.

While waiting, Zhan Yifan came over with a huge sword on his back, before he entered the room, he knelt down on one knee and said, "I will die for my humble minister!"

"what's the situation?"

Li Ci spoke as calmly as possible, she knew that Zhan Yifan, who could keep Mount Tai from collapsing, could not restrain his nervousness, something terrible must have happened, but the more tense the situation was, the more she had to keep calm, Walking slowly in front of Zhan Yifan, he stretched out his sleeves and motioned for him to get up.

"Get up and talk!"

"The regent has colluded with the imperial faction and has already taken control of the imperial city. They plan to call a court meeting, and while the general is not in the capital, they will slander the general for colluding with the Turkic people in an attempt to plot rebellion!"

"How dare you!"

Li Ci cursed with bluff. When my husband was in the capital, all the princes and nobles bowed their heads and flattered him. He had only left for a few days, and he turned his gun impatiently.

"One of them is heading towards the palace."

"This must be King Wei's idea. He hates my husband and wife to the bone. He managed to put us to death. How could he let him go?"

Li Ci pretended to be indifferent and said that the more critical the situation was, the more confident he had to be. King Wei was cruel and suspicious, and only in this way could he not dare to act rashly.

"Then what should we do? There are only three hundred guards in the palace, but they have assembled thousands!" Zhan Yifan said nervously.

A sneer flashed across the corner of Li Ci's mouth: "It's just a group of rats. The light of rice grains, dare to compete with Haoyue?!"

Turning to Dan Xing, who was wearing a silver-red beanie beside him, he said, "Is there any news from Prince Liang's Mansion?"

Dan Xing reported: "The King of Liang was invited to Guanyin Temple to attend a Buddhist event three days ago, but he has not returned yet."

Li Ci nodded, but Liang Wang's reaction was as expected. This scheming fox might have received the news long ago, but he chose to remain silent and avoid it. It can be seen that this matter is not as simple as it seems.

As long as Liang Wang maintains a neutral attitude on this matter, the situation is still under control, and there is still room for a comeback!
As for those people from the Dipai, garbage is always garbage, even if they are all tied together, they are just a bunch of garbage!
In this turmoil, the only one to worry about is King Wei!

After figuring out this key point, Li Ci suddenly felt a bright light in front of her eyes. Although the counselors in the hall still looked anxious like ants on a hot pot, and the sergeant's noisy insults could be vaguely heard outside, her heart was getting stronger and stronger. settled down.

Just as he was about to order the next move, another bad news came.

"Princess, they... set fire to it!"

The servant girl reported in panic, and she could see the flames shooting up to the sky from where she came.

It seems that King Wei is determined to destroy the Ye family this time.

After knowing King Wei's plan, Li Ci became more and more calm. Since he decided to quarrel with the Ye family, he decided to do everything right!Taking advantage of Ye Chuan's lack of time to take care of him in battles outside, he launched an attack in one fell swoop and slaughtered Ye's family!

It's a pity that a wise man is bound to make a mistake, not to mention that the king of Wei jumped the wall in a hurry this time. I'm afraid he didn't have a comprehensive plan at all, and he came here in a moment of anger!

There was a hint of complacency at the corner of her mouth, she turned around and said to Xu Beizi, "If the palace is breached by mobs, what should we do?"

Hearing the sound, Xu Beizi said proudly: "This humble official is dead! Protect the princess and the prince with all my strength!"

"I don't need your life. I just want you to take someone to the south to block it right now. You don't need to fight to the death, just delaying the time is enough!"

Xu Beizi was puzzled when he heard the words, but Li Ci didn't say much, and said to Zhan Yifan: "Prepare a bodyguard immediately, but this time everyone has planned to kill me, Xu Beizi can at most I can hold on for half an hour, so—you must be prepared to flee!"

"Yes!"

Zhan Yifan took the order and immediately withdrew.

Although Xu Beizi is a scholar, he also knows that the situation is critical and the backyard is full of women. If they can't delay enough time to cover them from escaping, I'm afraid that after the mob invades, this place will definitely become a hell on earth.

So he stopped talking and withdrew with the other counselors.

After orderly dismissing everyone in the room, Li Ci turned back to the inner room, and did not show the slightest surprise when she saw the wandering girl standing beside the screen with Ye Chang in her arms.

"Where is sir now?"

"The carriage and rations are ready."

The two sentences seem to have no connection at all, but everything is in silence. Fu Lici always trusts Jun Fengxi, just like he trusts Bai Yinmei.She doesn't need to give him detailed instructions, he always knows what she needs.

Knowing that everything was ready, Fu Lici smiled gently, grabbed the gray mist-colored cloak that was put on the screen, and draped it over her body, covering the crimson Dihua.

Then, he gave a half salute to Yingying, the maid who put on the luxurious clothes of the princess: "You are tired."

The maid accepted the gift calmly, with a calm expression, and said: "As long as the princess does not forget her promise to me, it will be fine."

Li Ci said: "If I can escape the catastrophe this time, I will protect and make your family rich and prosperous!"

"The servant is dead."

After finishing speaking, he watched Li Ci and You Nu leave through the small door, took a deep breath, put on a white silk cloak and a hood, only his pointed chin was exposed, and he committed suicide with his hands hidden in the cloak. With a dagger, he pushed open the carved door, and said to the nuns and maids who had been waiting outside: "Notify Zhan Yifan, evacuate immediately!"

Outside the high wall, the shouts of rioting were louder and louder.
