He resisted the urge to knock on the door, anger boiling in his chest.

"Your Highness, please have a good rest." Through a door, Eunuch Ni's voice seemed distant, respectful yet a little distant.

Gu Nanjin took a deep breath and said patiently, "I want to see my father!"

Eunuch Ni was silent.

Gu Nanjin repeated again: "I want to see my father!!" His tone rose three points.

There was another period of silence, and it was quiet outside the door, and the silence continued to spread.

After a long while, Eunuch Ni on the other side of the door said, "Your Highness, I will tell the Emperor, but..."

But whether the emperor is willing to meet the prince depends on the emperor's own wishes.

Gu Nanjin said dryly, "I understand."

The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away.

Next, there was a long silence, and there was no sound from outside.

It was eerily quiet inside and outside the house, with only the sound of drizzle falling in the courtyard.

Gu Nanjin was left alone in this bedroom, pacing back and forth in annoyance.

It was not until a cup of tea later that footsteps were heard outside the door again, approaching this side and becoming clearer and clearer.

Then, the door opened.

Eunuch Ni appeared outside the door holding a silver whisk, bowed to Gu Nanjin, and said, "Your Highness, the Emperor invites you."

Behind him were two tall and strong Jinyiwei.

Gu Nanjin glanced at the two Jinyiwei and felt mocking in his heart: Are they afraid that I will escape? But he didn't show any expression on his face and walked out of the palace.

Eunuch Ni walked in front, leading the way for Gu Nanjin, and led him all the way to the green gauze cupboard in the east warm room.

The emperor lay sickly on the couch, in a similar condition to what Gu Nanjin had seen him in yesterday. His face was still sallow and his spirits were not good, like an old man in his seventies.

Gu Nanjin walked to a place three steps away from the dragon couch and stopped, bowing to the emperor and saying, "Father."

After paying his respects, he stood up, looked into the eyes of the emperor on the dragon couch, and asked directly, "Father, what do you want to do?"

The emperor raised his hand, and Eunuch Ni immediately understood his intention and helped the emperor sit up. Another round-faced eunuch placed a large pillow behind the emperor.

The emperor sighed and gave Gu Nanjin a loving but tired smile: "You know about Kang Hongda and the Chu family, right? He acted according to my orders."

Gu Nanjin: “…”

"Prince, I am about to die. The future of Da Qi depends on you." The emperor's voice was very weak, and his expression was kind, like a loving father.

His emotions were somewhat agitated, his chest heaving slightly, and his eyes, which seemed a little cloudy due to his serious illness, were deep and vast under the candlelight, reflecting light of varying depths.

He sighed quietly again, his voice becoming hoarse and vicissitudes of life: "Prince, your Ninth Uncle is powerful and has the military power. Now that I am still alive, I can still hold your Ninth Uncle hostage. Once I am gone... cough cough cough..."

The emperor was so emotional that he lowered his head, put his fist to his lips, and coughed several times in succession.

Eunuch Ni quickly patted the emperor's back and handed him a handkerchief.

The emperor wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and continued tiredly, "Once I am gone, you will ascend the throne. You will be alone and weak, and I am afraid you will not be able to suppress your ninth uncle. By then, do you have the confidence to keep the Great Qi Kingdom?!"

"You are my son. Everything I do is for your own good and for the sake of this great Qi country."

As he spoke, the emperor's voice became even hoarser, and even his eyes turned red, sparkling with tears, and he was filled with worry for his country and his children.

In the green gauze cabinet, the candlelight floats.

The candlelight shone on Gu Nanjin's body, casting a long shadow on the ground.

"..." Gu Nanjin stared at the emperor in a daze, his thin lips slightly parted.

The emperor raised his hand to signal Gu Nanjin to be silent, not giving him a chance to speak. He continued in a slow and solemn tone, "If the prince doesn't want to be the villain, then let me be the villain!"

"Brother Jin, just wait. I will give you a stable court. This is the last thing I, your father, want from you." The emperor stared deeply into Gu Nanjin's eyes.

Hearing the emperor calling him "Jin'er", Gu Nanjin was moved, his eyelashes trembled, and his eyes flashed.

He is the first son of the current emperor and has once enjoyed the emperor's love. When he was a child, the current emperor called him: Jing'er.

It was not until the late emperor named him the Crown Prince that he changed from "Jing'er" to the Crown Prince, and later, he became the Crown Prince.

Gu Nanjin's eyes were a little dazed, and his thoughts went back to a long, long time ago, as if it were a lifetime ago.

The emperor was very emotional and choked up several times. He took a few deep breaths, calmed down his emotions, and then said, "I know you blame me, but now, I still want to do one last thing for you..."

As the emperor spoke these heartfelt words, Eunuch Ni's eyes turned red and he silently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

There was a sad atmosphere in the air, thick and oppressive. That deep sadness seemed to penetrate into people's skin like the continuous spring rain outside.

That night, the drizzle never stopped, like silk and sand. The spring drizzle had a kind of artistic conception of "the flying flowers are as light as dreams, and the endless drizzle is as fine as sorrow".

The rain lasted from night till dawn, and then on and off until dusk the next day. The capital city seemed exceptionally desolate that day, no longer as lively as usual.

Even ordinary people seemed to feel the heavy atmosphere of the coming storm.

At dusk, the rain stopped and the sky became dark like an ink painting, with water and ink painting different shades of ink in the air.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, more than a hundred imperial guards suddenly rushed out, sealed off Prince Chen's palace, and surrounded the palace tightly with layers of troops.

Only the gentle breeze carried the rain from the treetops into the high walls of the palace.

The air after the rain was filled with thick moisture and was exceptionally fresh, and the palace was as usual.

This was the first time that Chu Yunyi had experienced such a thing. Moreover, whenever he thought that it was because of him that Prince Chen’s Mansion was surrounded, he became anxious, fearing that he would implicate his sister and Prince Chen’s Mansion.

Chu Yunyi walked out of the guest house and headed towards the inner courtyard. No one stopped him along the way.

The inner courtyard was originally a place that outsiders were not allowed to enter without permission, but the inner courtyard of Prince Chen's mansion had few female relatives, and only two mistresses lived there, Queen Mother Yin and Shen Qianchen. Shen Qianchen was Chu Yunyi's biological sister, so there was nothing to be shy about.

Servants saluted him along the way, but Chu Yunyi was absent-minded, immersed in his own thoughts, thinking about what had happened since he returned to Beijing from his hometown last year.

A year ago, he was as innocent and proud as a blank sheet of paper, living in a world of self-righteousness.

It was not until the cruel truth was gradually revealed before his eyes that he had to face it. It turned out that his father, aunt, and elder sister were all different from what he had thought. Each of them was wearing a false mask...

He decided to take up martial arts and studied it wholeheartedly, working several times harder than before. He wanted to support Shen Qianchen and also wanted to help his father and Aunt Jiang compensate Shen Qianchen. However, he was still too weak and was of no help to Shen Qianchen at all.

Now that the Chu family has been convicted, as the eldest son of the Chu family, he should be humiliated together with them, so it is only natural for him to return to the Chu family! While thinking, he came to the gate of the main courtyard, his heart was empty, and he fell into a depressed mood for a while, feeling that he had accomplished nothing.

The little maid guarding the gate knelt down and saluted him: "Uncle."

"Meow!" The black cat with four white paws seemed to hear his footsteps and ran out briskly to rub against the hem of his robe.

Spring is the season when cats shed their fur. Just by rubbing twice, tufts of black fur were rubbed onto the corner of Chu Yunyi's lake blue robe.

Chu Yunyi simply leaned over, picked up the black cat, and continued walking inside while holding it.

The warm cat pressed against his chest, as if injecting something into his empty chest...

Chu Yunyi walked through the gate with firm steps.

The next moment, he heard a clear laughter that sounded like the swaying of wind chimes.

The girl's laughter made the air suddenly become lighter.

It was as if the sky suddenly became clear and blue, and the fragrant air blew into his nose with the wind, fresh and clean.

Through the door, Chu Yunyi seemed to have traveled from the cold winter to another world full of birdsong and flowers.

Chu Yunyi stopped again, still holding the black cat in his arms, and looked foolishly in the direction of the sound.

Not far away, a man and a woman were playing chess face to face in a pavilion. One was wearing plain moon-white, and the other was wearing dazzling red.

The two of them were talking and laughing happily, and a brilliant smile was overflowing on Shen Qianchen's delicate and beautiful face, as if she had applied bright and beautiful rouge, radiant and radiant. And his brother-in-law, who was usually cold and noble, had eyebrows and eyes so soft that they seemed to be overflowing with gurgling spring water.

Chu Yunyi was almost stunned, feeling that it was not real.

Wasn't Prince Chen's Mansion sealed by the Imperial Guards? ! Why did my sister and brother-in-law react like this! He almost pinched his thigh. The black cat twisted its body in his arms and meowed, attracting the two people in the pavilion to look at him.

Chu Yunyi finally came to his senses and continued walking towards the octagonal pavilion with the cat in his arms. When he reached the outside of the pavilion, he called out in a low voice, "Sister, brother-in-law."

Gu Jue smiled and nodded. Shen Qianchen pointed to the stone bench on her right and said, "Sit down."

Chu Yunyi didn't move or sit down, and couldn't help but said, "Sister, let me go back."

Just a fool! Shen Qianchen rolled his eyes.

“……”Chu Yunyi was shocked.

He had never seen a princess like his sister.

Occasionally, he would inexplicably sense the smell of a bitch from his sister that he had felt in the military camp, just like now! Chu Yunyi subconsciously looked at his brother-in-law's face, but saw that Gu Jue was still smiling. Not to mention disgust, his brother-in-law seemed to think his sister was very interesting.

Chu Yunyi was stunned, thinking sourly: Yes, his sister would treat him like this. When she was with her brother-in-law, she was like a little sweetheart, hiding her claws well!

Shen Qianchen asked Chu Yunyi unhappily: "What are you going to do back here? Are you going to be locked up? It's not enough to lock up the whole family, do you still want to go there yourself?"

Chu Yunyi was speechless.

Shen Qianchen was not polite at all when he scolded his brother: "You are really a fool. Even with this, you still want to join the army!"

"Why? You knew there was an enemy trap ahead, but you still led your troops there to walk into it. The soldiers following you are really pitiful!!"

"Are you being self-sacrificing or self-satisfied?"

Shen Qianchen felt that these words were not enough to express her contempt, so she grabbed a black piece from the chess box and threw it at Chu Yunyi.

In fact, with Chu Yunyi's skills, he could easily catch the black jade chess piece, but he was holding a cat now, and the black cat was twisting restlessly in his arms, and it was about to scratch his sleeve with its claws. Chu Yunyi could only hold the cat with his left hand and hold down the cat's claws with his right hand. He didn't want the black jade chess piece to fall to the ground and break, so he let the black piece hit his left shoulder.

With a slight movement of his shoulder, the black piece landed steadily on the surface of his right shoe. Then he kicked with his right foot, and the black piece drew a semicircle and fell into the chess box.

The chess pieces collided, making crisp sounds.

It all happened in a flash.

Amber almost laughed out loud, and tried hard to hold her face. If the occasion wasn't inappropriate, she would have applauded Chu Yunyi. The young master is really good at playing Cuju! Amber still has to consider the atmosphere, but the cat doesn't need to.

“Meow!”

The black cat trapped by Chu Yunyi cried out in displeasure and tried to scratch people madly.

Chu Yunyi was used to being despised by Shen Qianchen, so he didn't take her words to heart and retorted, "Sister, I'm not like that!"

"If I were leading troops, I would of course put the overall situation first!"

How could he let his soldiers follow him to seek death! Is he such a fool? !

Chu Yunyi felt that he had to clarify his character in front of his brother-in-law! Gu Jue watched the siblings bickering quietly without saying a word.

Shen Qianchen raised his eyebrows: "So, if you don't lead the troops, you can be willful, you can be stupid, you can ignore the overall situation? Do you think that the stupid things you do now can be wiped out in the future and you can convince the public?"

Chu Yunyi: “…”

The black cat kicked Chu Yunyi hard with its two hind legs and finally broke free from his shackles, leaving only a chest of black hair on him, which only made the young man feel a little more depressed.

Shen Qianchen thought her dog Yueying was really well behaved, so she quickly rewarded it with some delicious dried fish.

Yueying went to eat the dried fish contentedly, and Chu Yunyi finally reacted at this time and found that he had been foolishly misled by his sister.

He took two deep breaths to calm his confused mind, then sat down next to Shen Qianchen, temporarily ignoring the cat hair all over his body.

Chu Yunyi clenched his fists and said seriously, "The Prince Chen's Mansion has been surrounded by the Imperial Guards. This is not just something Kang Hongda can do. It has something to do with the Emperor, right?"

"Sister, I'm not stupid. I know someone is using me as a raft."

Chu Yunyi's words came from the bottom of his heart.

He was not stupid. He could see that the emperor and Kang Hongda were not going to deal with the Chu family, nor him, but the Prince Chen's Mansion.

Although the Chu family was in a mess, the charge that his father Chu Lingxiao killed his second uncle Chu Lingyu was enough to put Chu Lingxiao to death, and the Jingzhao Prefecture could do it. Even if Chu Lingxiao really had harbored a bandit in Youzhou, it was only a crime of harboring a bandit, and the most that could be done was to confiscate the property, and there was no need to make such a big fuss and raise the charge to "treason."

The other party used the name of the Chu family to attack Prince Chen's Mansion! As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs.

Who made Chu Lingxiao such a person with such a bad record?

Whenever Chu Yunyi thought of his father, he felt bitter.

A father should be a role model and should have good children, but his father is such a despicable person! Chu Yunyi tried not to let himself fall into that kind of self-pity, which was of no help at all.

He looked at Shen Qianchen firmly and said, "I am just a handle used by 'certain people' to attack Prince Chen's Mansion."

"So, hand me over. Without this leverage, the other party will have no basis for action."

After the last word fell, the surroundings were silent again.

Shen Qianchen really wanted to grab another chess piece and throw it at him, but he was too lazy to waste the energy and just scolded him, "Stupid!"

Chu Yunyi: “???”

Chu Yunyi felt that he was too wronged.

How is he stupid?! He has obviously improved a lot! Gu Jue cheered for his little girl: "Stupid!"

Shen Qianchen echoed him and said with disdain, "Stupid and dumb."

Chu Yunyi: “???”

Faced with the critical attacks from his sister and brother-in-law, Chu Yunyi almost wilted. The pair of invisible cat ears on his head drooped dejectedly and he became autistic.

"Don't you want to stay in the palace anymore?" Gu Jue showed rare "patience" when dealing with his brother-in-law.

Chu Yunyi nodded affirmatively: "No."

Shen Qianchen didn't look at Chu Yunyi, but lowered his head and drank the scented tea.

Jiang Yuan didn't even move his eyelids, his eyes quickly swept over Chu Yunyi: The eldest young master of the Chu family's understanding of the prince can be described as "knowing nothing".

By the way, since the prince came back from the north, or rather, since he met the princess, his methods have become much "gentler".

Gu Jue said calmly: "Then let's go."

Chu Yunyi thought Gu Jue agreed to let him go back to the Chu family, so he stood up and bowed formally, wanting to say goodbye. But before he could say anything, Gu Jue's next sentence entered his ears: "Go to Xuanjia Camp."

“…” Chu Yunyi looked up in astonishment, then looked at Gu Jue again, his hands still in a bowing posture, making him look a little stupid and dull.

Beside him, the black cat that had just finished eating the dried fish was squatting there, washing its face with its paws, looking quite relaxed and indifferent.

Gu Jue gently brushed away a few strands of black hair that had drifted to his sleeves. His eyes did not fall on Chu Yunyi at all. He said in a calm voice, "You are not young anymore. It is time for you to study hard."

Chu Yunyi wanted to speak more, but when Gu Jue gave him a light glance, Chu Yunyi felt his throat dry and couldn't make a sound.

It's not because of fear, but because I feel as if the other person sees through me inside and out.

Then, Gu Jue turned to Jiang Yuan and asked, "Is Su Mubai taking a day off today?"

Jiang Yuan responded, and then went to find Su Mubai as ordered.

Chu Yunyi was completely left aside, while Shen Qianchen and Gu Jue continued to play chess.

After that, no one paid any attention to Chu Yunyi. Shen Qianchen let him stand there stupidly, while Amber "sympathetically" served Chu Yunyi tea. Chu Yunyi sat back down on the step that Amber handed to him.

Chu Yunyi could only drink tea. He felt that he was redundant. Only the cats were willing to give him a look or come over to rub against him occasionally.

And his strict sister turned into a soft and sweetheart when facing her brother-in-law.

Sometimes she asked her brother-in-law what he wanted to eat in the evening; sometimes she happily ate the pine nuts and melon seeds that her brother-in-law peeled for her...

Chu Yunyi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Not only did he feel redundant, but he also felt sick in his mouth.

Many times, Gu Jue and Shen Qianchen clearly did not smile, but the look between their brows still gave Chu Yunyi a feeling of smiling. When their eyebrows met, their gestures were filled with joy from the heart, revealing a tacit understanding between them that did not require words.

While Chu Yunyi was waiting anxiously, Jiang Yuan came with Su Mubai, who was wearing a blue robe with purple auspicious cloud patterns.

苏慕白目不斜视，给自家王爷、王妃行了礼，甚至没有多看楚云逸一眼，让楚云逸再次尝到了那种微妙的被人无视的感觉。

顾玦吩咐道：“苏慕白，你去丰台大营，全权负责一切，顺便把楚云逸也带去。”

“楚云逸，你也跟去看看。为将之人，只有在实战上才能锻炼出来，平日里训练一百遍，都及不上一次实战。”

平日里顾玦都是跟着沈千尘唤楚云逸“逸哥儿”的，今天却是直呼其名，摆出了公事公办的态度。

顾玦的这种态度反而让楚云逸感觉自在多了。

6◇9◇书◇吧

但他细品顾玦的话，又是一惊，明白了顾玦话中的言下之意，顾玦不是让自己避去玄甲营，而是接下来双方恐怕会打起来。

楚云逸：“！！！”

楚云逸瞳孔微微一缩，震惊地环视着顾玦、沈千尘与苏慕白。

他完全不能想象，现在封住宸王府的是禁军，难道姐夫是打算要跟禁军正面对决？！

楚云逸的心脏一阵失控的狂跳，耳边似有雷鸣声不断。

“你敢吗？”顾玦微微勾了下唇角，神情依旧云淡风轻，仿若立于云端，没有什么可以映入他眼中。

沈千尘与苏慕白的神情同样平静，波澜不惊，让楚云逸忍不住自我谴责：他还是不够沉稳。

楚云逸在极短的时间内稳住心神，掷地有声地吐出三个字：“当然敢！”

随着这三个字落下，他的血脉沸腾了起来，早就把刚刚的顾虑抛诸脑后了。

楚云逸意气风发地随苏慕白离开了，凉亭中的小夫妻俩继续下着棋，谈笑风生。

说句实话，楚云逸本以为他们会悄悄地走什么密道离开宸王府，不想，苏慕白直接带他走了王府的正门。

当王府的朱漆大门在一阵粗糙的声响中打开时，围在王府外的所有禁军将士的目光如潮水般涌了过来。

苏慕白与楚云逸一下子成为这些目光的焦点。

两人跨出了高高的门槛，身后还跟着数十名王府侍卫。

楚云逸昂首挺胸，目光清亮。他怎么也不能堕了姐夫的威名，让人说宸王的小舅子只会躲在别人的背后，是缩头乌龟。

一根根长枪交叉着拦在了苏慕白与楚云逸的前方，不让他们继续往前。

一个二十七八岁的年轻将士朝二人走来，对着苏慕白拱了拱手：“苏兄，这是打算交出楚云逸了吗？”

他含笑的声音中带着理所当然的高高在上。

在他看，宸王府把人交出来，那也是迟早的事。

“不。”苏慕白笑吟吟地否决。

那年轻的将士脸色微僵。

所以，苏慕白这是想带着楚云逸离开宸王府？！

“苏兄，吾等也是奉命行事，宸王府的人都不许踏出王府！”

年轻的将士声音渐冷，抬手做了一个手势。

更多的禁军将士朝正门的方向涌来，但还是留了一部分人手守着王府围墙、侧门、后门等。

王府大门口的人越来越多，气氛中有种一触即发的沉重感。

苏慕白与对方四目对视，莞尔一笑，声音不轻不重、轻描淡写：“真的吗？路校尉，要是我非要走呢？你敢对宸王府的人动手不成，你可想好了？”

苏慕白笑得意味深长，让人发慌。

路校尉心里咯噔一下。

这时，另一个粗犷嘹亮的男音响起：“苏大人是五城兵马司的人，不属于宸王府的人，当然可以出去，但是……”

来人大步走到了路校尉的身旁，正是楚云逸昨日曾在西城门见过一回的五军营参将杜华堂。

杜华堂抬手指向了楚云逸，冠冕堂皇地说道：“楚云逸乃朝廷钦犯，必须交给吾等。”

“不交。”苏慕白的唇角依旧噙着一抹儒雅的浅笑，连眼角眉梢都没有动一下，“有本事你们自己来抢。”

模样像书生，语气也慢条斯理，可是说的话就像无赖流氓，让楚云逸自愧不如，暗叹自己的脸皮还不够厚，也难怪云展、唐御初总是左一个老狐狸、右一个老狐狸地挂在嘴上。

杜华堂嘴角抽了抽，自觉威信在大庭广众下受到了挑衅。

他是武人，本就性子冲动，被苏慕白一击，像是被点燃的炮仗似的炸了。

“拦下！”他一把抽出了自己的佩刀，高高地挥起，刀刃上寒光闪闪，杀气凛然。

他身后的几十个禁军将士朝苏慕白和楚云逸围了过来，目标都是冲着楚云逸来的。

“杜参将！”不知道是谁唤了一声，几乎同时一阵阵破空声响起。

“咻咻咻！”

一支支羽箭自墙头射下，形成一片箭雨，箭箭都射入地面，密密匝匝地在苏慕白与楚云逸前方形成了一片“栅栏”。

这些羽箭恰好把这些禁军将士隔绝开来，宛如一道屏障，每一箭都是那么精准，像是精心计算过似的。

这下，包括杜华堂在内的所有人都看到了，王府那高高的围墙上，站着二十来个侍卫，每一个的手里拿着一把弓。

杜华堂脸色铁青，眸色幽深，怒道：“宸王府敢胆动手……”这是要造反吗？！

话还没说完，又是一箭射来，如闪电般，快得让人肉眼捕捉不到，那一箭从杜华堂的头盔正面射过，一箭射穿，箭尖从头盔的背面射出，然后这个头盔被羽箭带飞了出去。

“咚”的一声，羽箭连着头盔落在了杜华堂身后，“骨碌碌”地打着转，发出的声响显得极为刺耳，也极具嘲讽的意味。

杜华堂的发髻折腾散了一半，还有一簇头发被羽箭削落在地。

汉人讲究身体发肤受之父母，像这样在大庭广众下被人削了头发，无异于一种赤裸裸的折辱。

杜华堂的面色更难看了，既愤怒又后怕。

刚才那一箭如果在往下一点点，他的头颅就会被射穿，这条命就会交代在这里了！

风一吹，杜华堂感觉后颈连着后背一阵彻骨的冰凉，这才意识到周身出了一身冷汗。

“姓杜的，”射箭的那个王府侍卫还在墙头嚣张地叫嚣着，“宸王府还没有不敢动的手！”

杜华堂没认出来，可是楚云逸只凭声音就认出了，这个侍卫根本是薛风演假扮的。

其他的王府侍卫们轰然大笑，挑衅地冲着杜华堂发出一阵嘘声。

杜华堂转头朝路校尉看去，本来指望他说点什么，却见他眼神游移，明显是在忌惮宸王府。

杜华堂暗暗咬牙，只能自己上：“楚大公子，现在楚家危在旦夕，令尊自身难保，你可真想好了？”

“康大人一向秉公处事，绝不会冤枉了任何一个人。”

他字字句句意味深长，暗示康鸿达是为了楚云逸才这么做，只要楚云逸就范，一切还可以商量。

楚云逸的耳边又响起了沈千尘的声音：

“蠢！”

“又蠢又笨！”

楚云逸不太服气，明明蠢的是眼前这个人才是。

楚云逸不说话，周围就陷入了一片悄无声息的沉寂。

高墙上的那些王府侍卫全都又拉上了弓，箭在弦上。

而杜华堂身旁的那些禁军将士也没退，全都紧紧地握着手里的长刀与红缨枪。

两方人马彼此对峙着，似有一片看不见的刀光剑影在空气中闪烁着。

“踏踏踏……”

后方突然传来一阵纷乱的脚步声，打破了这里的死寂，脚步声越来越清晰，如潮水，似闷雷。

一群着玄色盔甲的将士从街道两头以及巷子里涌出，往宸王府的方向汇集，气势汹汹。

是玄甲军！楚云逸唇角微微一翘，立即就认出了为首的人是云展，他带了数百名玄甲军的将士赶到了，个个都是玄甲军中的精锐。

“包围！”云展一声令下，玄甲军将士就从外围把杜华堂率领的这帮禁军围在了中心。

前有居高临下、手持弓箭的王府侍卫虎视耽耽，后有玄甲军的人持刀相对，被两头夹击的杜华堂等人可谓前有狼、后有虎。

云展直接拔剑，锋利的剑尖指向了杜华堂，傲然道：“跟他们啰嗦什么，我倒要看看，有谁敢拦。”

这宽阔的朱雀大街上，剑拔弩张。

街上的其他人家早就紧闭大门，生怕波及其中。

这可是神仙打架！！

那些禁军将士全都严阵以待，死死地紧握住手里的武器，每个人都感受到了一股压抑的气氛。

明明双方还未真正动手，没人受伤，更没人死去，但不少禁军将士却隐约感觉闻到了一股似铁锈的血腥味，在鼻端萦绕着，挥之不去。

他们全都知道宸王府的人全都是从战场上下来的，每一个手上都沾过鲜血与人命，这些人下得了杀手。

对着对峙的时间拉长，气氛愈发沉重。

忽然，杜华堂用一个“走”字挥退了下属，包括路校尉在内的禁军将士都松了一口气，退了两步。

杜华堂大义凛然地说道：“楚云逸是朝廷钦犯，宸王殿下窝藏朝廷钦犯，犯了包庇罪！”

“敝人今天退并不是碍于宸王殿下的权势，只是不想在京城引战，造成无谓的伤亡……”

As he was speaking, another feather arrow came shooting out from the high wall with unstoppable force.

Du Huatang was frightened by the arrow and stepped back nervously. He was frightened and staggered, and only with the help of Captain Lu did he not fall.

The arrow passed by Du Huatang three inches away and accurately hit the helmet that fell to the ground.

There was a second feather arrow on the helmet, which rolled on the ground again, looking ridiculous.

Captain Lu was shocked.

The opponent's archery skills have become more accurate. In fact, even if Du Huatang didn't move, the arrow would not have hit him. Du Huatang's retreat showed his cowardice.

"Stop talking so much!" Xue Fengyan shouted impatiently and pulled the bowstring demonstratively, as if telling Du Huatang that he could shoot him with another arrow.

Afterwards, the imperial guards retreated to both sides, making way for them, and watched Chu Yunyi and Su Mubai leave under the escort of Yun Zhan and other Xuanjia soldiers.

Even if he didn't look back, Chu Yunyi could clearly feel the burning gazes of the people behind him, and his little heart was pounding.

Just now, he really thought that the two sides would fight, and he was still hesitating whether he should draw his sword or draw his bow. As a result, Du Huatang actually gave in first.

They turned right from Zhuque Street into Changchun Street, and there were several horses waiting for them ahead.

Su Mubai personally handed the reins of one of the black horses to Chu Yunyi and said with a smile: "Reading thousands of books is like traveling thousands of miles. This principle also applies to military commanders."

"Watch carefully, listen carefully, this experience is more useful than reading a lot of military books and training for a year or two."

There was a hint of advice in his tone.

Chu Yunyi's expression straightened, and he tried to calm the boiling blood and pounding heart in his body, and nodded "yes".

Then, he climbed onto his horse and said to Yunzhan, who was also on his horse, "Brother Yunzhan, didn't you go to Fengtai Camp? Why did you suddenly come to pick us up? Did your brother-in-law tell you to do that in advance?"

Because he was so excited, the boy talked more than usual and his eyes were surprisingly bright.

Yunzhan responded casually, as if he didn't want to say more.

Chu Yunyi didn't know Su Mubai very well, or rather, what he knew about Su Mubai mostly came from Yun Zhan, Tang Yuchu, Xue Fengyan and others, but he still had some understanding of Yun Zhan, and vaguely felt that Yun Zhan's mood was a little different from usual.

Everyone rode their horses towards the west city gate, and the three hundred black-armored soldiers behind followed closely.

"..." Chu Yunyi and Yunzhan rode forward side by side. Chu Yunyi couldn't help but look at Yunzhan again. After a moment, he looked again and thought: Is Yunzhan as excited as himself? When riding horses, the wind blew violently in their faces, making everyone's hair and robes rustle.

After passing through the winding streets of the capital, the group arrived near the West City Gate.

The security at the West Gate was even tighter than yesterday. In addition to the regular gate guards, there were still dozens of imperial guards guarding there.

Su Mubai, who was riding in the front, slowed down his horse and said to the soldiers guarding the city gate: "The Black Armor Army, return to the camp."

The guards at the city gate did not dare to stop them and immediately retreated to both sides, even calling on ordinary people entering and leaving the city to make way for Su Mubai and his group.

But the soldiers of the imperial guards refused to give way. One of them, a square-faced soldier, shouted at the top of his voice: "Lord Kang has ordered us to seal the city gates. No suspicious people are allowed to leave the city."

The square-faced soldier looked deeply at Chu Yunyi and the group of Black Armor Army soldiers behind Su Mubai.

In the rear, a horse-faced imperial guard quietly left the team, intending to find Kang Hongda to inform him of the news.

Chu Yunyi noticed this person and quickly pulled Yunzhan's sleeve, reminding him to go see the person who went to report the news.

Yunzhan smiled indifferently.

Su Mubai looked indifferently at the square-faced soldier who was clamoring to block the road, and asked: "Since your majesty does not allow the Black Armor Army to return to the camp, where should these hundreds of Black Armor Army go? Should they go to Lord Kang's house or to the palace?"

What he said was almost like asking the other party whether they should seal the Kang Mansion or force the emperor to abdicate.

His elegant appearance formed a sharp contrast with his extremely arrogant and domineering words!

Many people have heard about the arrogance of the Prince of Chen. After all, the Prince of Chen is so arrogant that he doesn't even give the emperor face. However, Su Mubai, this smiling fox, usually smiles at people, but he is actually a needle in his cotton wool! No one expected that Su Mubai would suddenly change his style and become a sharp sword that kills anyone who stands in his way!

"..." The square-faced soldier was speechless. This was not a question he could answer at all.

He also knew that with the manpower he had at the moment, he could only scare people with Kang Hongda's name. Two fists could not beat four hands. If they used real guns and swords, they would not be able to defeat these hundreds of Black Armored Soldiers.

“…”

“…”

“…”

The atmosphere around the city gate was strange. Even the common people sensed this subtle atmosphere and fell silent.

Everyone watched as a group of black-armored soldiers passed through the west city gate like a large black mass of beasts, and marched forward in a mighty procession straight to the Fengtai camp.

Chu Yunyi followed closely behind Su Mubai and Yun Zhan, crouching low and speeding up his horse. He felt as if his body was about to fly with the horse under his crotch. A voice in his heart was shouting: What a pleasure! They left the city one moment, and the next moment both groups reported the news to Kang Hongda.

The soldier who came to report was cautious and fearful, but Kang Hongda was in a good mood, with a smile spreading from the corners of his lips to the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.

"The Prince of Chen is indeed extremely arrogant." Kang Hongda sighed as he fanned himself with his folding fan.

"Lord Kang is wise." Sitting below him was Earl Zhongyong, who had a flattering smile on his face, "At least Yunzhan, this rebellious son, is still of some use. This earl is fortunate to share Lord Kang's worries."

Earl Zhongyong was in a good mood, so he dared to call himself "Ben Bo" in front of Kang Hongda.

Kang Hongda glanced at Lord Zhongyong with a half-smile, and said calmly: "Don't worry, I know the Yun family's contribution!"
