"The Emperor's star is swaying high above Mars, and suddenly there is a madman sharpening his knife at night! His fate is to reform the emperor, so don't look at it. The city is full of wronged souls, which is unbearable to look at."
What does this mean? Does it mean that His Majesty has been killed? Otherwise, where would the new ruler come from to reform the country?
Song Jinxiu was feeling uneasy, and tried to comfort herself: This was because I was worried about Your Majesty, and I was dreaming about it during the day.
But in her heart, she had long wanted to grow wings and fly to the capital.
At this time, the warhorse under her was sweating profusely and its pace slowed down. Song Jinxiu let it rest in the space and replaced it with her own black horse, Stepping on the Clouds.
Speeding all the way, finally, the outline of the capital city became clearer and clearer.
When the horse turned a slope, she waved her hand, and the dark guard in the space instantly appeared at the fork in the road.
Song Jinxiu took the lead, followed by Su Yu and the Sixteen Guards.
The clatter of horse hooves startled the soldiers of the Xishan camp who were guarding the city gate.
At night, they suddenly received an imperial decree from His Majesty, ordering the soldiers in the Xishan camp to impose martial law in the imperial city overnight because a plague had broken out in the capital.
Cheng Huizhi, commander of the Xishan camp, was so angry after receiving the imperial edict that he fainted.
Deputy General Ji Yuandi temporarily took over the position of commander-in-chief and led the soldiers of the Xishan camp to take over the gates of the capital overnight.
At this time, it was Ji Yuandi who was guarding the west gate.
When Song Jinxiu and his men rode up on horseback, they saw from a distance that a group of soldiers had blocked their way.
A soldier shouted, "Who are you? There is a plague in the capital. Martial law has been imposed. Leave immediately."
plague?
Song Jinxiu narrowed her eyes and told Junjun, "Junjun, go to the city quickly to check. Wear a mask."
"Understood, sir." The treasure-hunting rat Junjun dodged through the space and ran away.
The men and horses did not slow down, and in a blink of an eye they were in front of the soldiers. Su stepped forward holding the token and said, "Your Highness, the Duke, please return to the capital. Open the city gates immediately."
Seeing the token in Su Xiaoli's hand, it was undoubtedly the eldest prince's token.
The soldiers looked at each other, and one soldier stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, the city gate cannot be opened now. There is a plague inside!"
Song Jinxiu gave him a cold look and ordered, "Get out of the way."
There was an epidemic in the capital, why didn't she believe it? Moreover, even if there was a plague, the city gate could not be so quiet, without even a vehicle transporting herbs.
늀At this time, Ji Yuandi walked over from the city gate.
He didn't know Song Jinxiu, but when he heard that she was the princess, his eyes flashed and he said, "Your Highness, there is indeed a plague in the city. The Xishan camp has been ordered to guard the city gates, and no one is allowed to enter or leave."
"On orders? Who are you? On whose orders?" Song Jinxiu looked down at him condescendingly.
Because of the warning from the stars, Song Jinxiu had already made a forewarning. She suspected that these people were mutinying under the guise of the plague.
However, Cheng Huizhi, the commander of the Xishan Camp, is a close confidant of His Majesty, which made her unable to help but ask more questions.
Otherwise, she doesn't have time to talk to them.
Ji Yuandi arched his head towards the sky and said in a loud voice: "Your Highness, it is His Majesty's order that a plague has suddenly broken out in the imperial city. Your Majesty's Crown Prince has been infected with the plague. Now the eldest prince is the regent, and he has ordered us to impose martial law in the imperial city."
Song Jinxiu was shocked. His Majesty is infected with the virus? Are you saying that Your Majesty is in danger now?
Her face turned cold and she ordered, "Open the city gates. I am here to see His Majesty."
Ji Yuandi remained unmoved and continued, "Your Majesty cares about the world and loves the people like his own children. He said that even if all the people in the imperial city died, the disease must not be spread to harm the people of the world. Therefore, this city gate cannot be opened."
As Ji Yuandi spoke, his eyes turned red and he looked sad.
Song Jinxiu stopped talking to him, raised the tiger talisman and waved it in front of him, saying, "Here is the tiger talisman, General Ji, open the city gate immediately."
Ji Yuandi was stunned. Was it really the tiger talisman?
Then his eyes lit up.
The tiger talisman turned out to be in her body. It was really like searching for something in vain, but it came to her without any effort.
Suddenly, he said in a stern voice: "How dare you impersonate His Royal Highness the Duke? Come, take her down for me."
"Let's see who dares!"
Su Xiaomeng stepped forward, and the short axe on her back was whipped violently by her. With a shake of her hands, the axe was already on Ji Yuandi's neck.
Ji Yuandi was extremely shocked. He didn't expect that this little maid was so powerful!
But he was not frightened. He calmed down and said in a cold voice, "The Duke is fighting in southern Xinjiang. Who are you? You pretended to be the Duke. You even dared to hold this general hostage. What crime should you be punished for?"
Song Jinxiu narrowed her eyes: There is something wrong with this Ji Yuandi.
As the deputy general of Xishan Camp, it is impossible for him not to know the tiger talisman. The Duke is here with the tiger talisman. Regardless of his status or military power, he should obey his orders unconditionally.
But he didn't. Not only did he not obey the order, he also detained himself.
That can only mean one thing: he did it on purpose.
Song Jinxiu glanced at the soldiers of the Xishan camp who were eyeing her covetously. She was not sure whether the people here would stand on her side.
After all, their general was Ji Yuandi.
If Ji Yuandi is killed, will these people really think that they are fake public servants?
She took a quick glance and saw that there were nearly five hundred soldiers at the west gate. She led the 16 guards to force her way in, which was not easy. When the fighting breaks out, there will inevitably be casualties.
She had just returned from the battlefield, and the soldiers of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion were fighting for their country. The Dragon and Tiger Battalion originated from the Xishan Camp. If these were the people she had taken away, did they belong to her Dragon and Tiger Battalion?
The royal family was fighting for power, why bother to sacrifice the lives of these innocent people?
So Song Jinxiu hesitated.
She thought for a moment and asked the stunned soldier beside her: "Is Cheng Huizhi here?"
A soldier looked at Song Jinxiu suspiciously. Could it be that the Duke's token was fake?
But when he met Song Jinxiu's gaze, his heart skipped a beat, but he still replied: "Our commander received the imperial edict and was so angry that he fainted. The military doctor said that the commander might be in danger this time, so he asked Deputy Ji to temporarily command the Xishan camp to guard the imperial city."
Feeling dizzy?
Never mind, His Majesty's life or death is unknown now, she can't waste their time here, Song Jinxiu winked at the secret guards, then ordered the warhorse to turn around and leave.
Since it's troublesome here, let's change the city gate or directly climb over the city wall.
However, she wanted to leave, but someone wouldn't let her go.
When Su saw his son leave, he took back the axe. As soon as Ji Yuandi was free, he shouted, "Stop this woman pretending to be the princess."
Suddenly, five hundred soldiers formed a battle array and surrounded them.
It turned out that Ji Yuandi had evil intentions when he saw the tiger talisman in front of her.
He was originally from the Ji family, and was Prince Yin's confidant stationed in Beijing.
Back then, Prince Yin was a vassal, and before going to Liangzhou, he placed him in the Xishan Camp. After so many years, he finally climbed to the position of the second in command of the Xishan Camp.
Now the general Cheng Huizhi has been poisoned to death by him. The talk of being furious was all fake, the military doctor was his man.
