Xiao Mubai expected that the mother and son would be ruthless, but he did not expect that they would actually pour pine oil all over the city.
Concubine Li has a mausoleum gate. At worst, the people in the world can take the mother and son and leave quietly. They can only wait for the garrison to gather and attack the city again.
But how could Xiao Mubai waste care for the whole of Chang'an and turn it into a dead city in the fire
When he and Xiao Zimu were discussing tactics in the early morning, Xia Chu pointed to the situation painted on Xiao Zimu's map and asked him why he didn't take this opportunity to strangle them
At that time, he and Xiao Zimu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, because they knew that, just as Xiao Yanjun said just now, the garrison was on the way, and the North City Gate was not that easy to break. He only needed to bring all the strength in the capital to resist Mo Wang Jun one day.
By then, he wouldn't even be able to occupy Chang'an.
Therefore, Xiao Mubai did not think about killing them from both sides.
Even if Xiao Yanjun didn't come to negotiate with him, he would take the initiative to negotiate with Concubine Li.
Xiao Mubai just didn't expect that Xiao Yanjun would put the weight of negotiations on Chang'an again.
"Okay." Xiao Mubai Le Li Zanghong took a step back, causing Zanghong to jump up on the spot and snort in dissatisfaction.
Xiao Yanjun curved his lips and smiled, and Shi Shiran bowed to him.
Xiao Mubai lowered his eyes and called Han Sa forward to listen to the order: "Let Lou Hongfang lead all the soldiers from the north gate to retreat and move to the west gate to enter the city."
Han Sa took the order and left. Within a moment, there were sounds of troops retreating outside the North City Gate.
Xiao Yanjun also whispered a few words into Si Nan's ear, then turned the horse's head, and after taking two steps, he suddenly looked back and smiled brightly: "Second brother, when we meet again, it will be a life and death day."
The rays of the morning sun dyed Xiao Yanjun's black hair with a layer of light gold. In the cold wind, he had a handsome face, his clothes were flying, and he looked as graceful as an immortal.
But right now, His Royal Highness, who is free from the secular world, is like a life-seeking demon in the hearts of the people living in Sifang Street, making people feel fearful and trembling.
Xiao Mubai could only watch Xiao Yanjun leave with cold eyes and silence. The reins in his hands were tightly tightened by him, without realizing that there were lines on his palms.
Li Fei smiled sweetly and gave the palace to him.
Xiao Yanjun's eyes flashed and he gave Chang'an City to him.
The mother and son used the same tricks to trap the people in Kyoto.
Concubine Li seemed to have given up Chang'an again, but tomorrow, as soon as the garrison arrived, she would be able to surround Chang'an again.
Although he clearly knew that this was a move to invite you to the urn, Xiao Mubai had to follow...
The branches and leaves on several trees were weighed down by the snow, and a cold wind blew hard. They fell, rolling on the empty streets, and then were stepped into the snow by the soldiers passing by.
Xiao Mubai looked at the North City Gate which had regained the right to guard the gate, but he didn't feel the slightest sense of joy in his heart.
He always believed that Xiao State had the right time and place, and only wanted peace.
Under the general trend, Xiao Kingdom will surely dominate the world.
But I never thought that one day, the Xiao Kingdom, the strongest among the five kingdoms, would fall apart from within.
Xia Chu, who was above the imperial city, looked at the victorious Xiao Mubai, and his heart that had been hanging finally dropped.
But at the same time, she also discovered that although Chang'an was recaptured without bloodshed, Concubine Li's side was also unscathed.
Not only that, even the military power of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice, which they had planned to take back, were not taken back at all, and were all taken away by Xiao Yanjun.
She didn't know what Xiao Yanjun and Xiao Mubai said while riding alone in Sifang Street.
It was obvious that Xiao Mubai agreed to what he said.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Xia Chu's mouth. Xiao Mubai had probably never been threatened like this in his life, and now he actually surrendered.
She withdrew her gaze and looked at Xiao Zimu: "Chang'an has been taken over. Your Highness, it's time to leave the palace to appease the people."
Xiao Zimu followed her and gave a wry smile: "I, the prince, am also a laughing stock."
Xia Chu's expression suddenly became solemn, and she turned to him and said in a gentle but decisive tone: "Zi Mu, you are the one destined to be the master of the Xiao Kingdom."
Xiao Zimu looked back at her, and when she turned her head, she saw a few bits of broken ice stained on her temples from somewhere, which quickly melted, and one or two bright glimmers of water appeared on her cheeks.
He looked at the dazzling water on her face and slowly turned around.
She knew that she could wipe it off for her as soon as she raised her hand, but that hand just couldn't reach out.
He lost her early on, and even his qualifications to compete were stifled by Xiao Mubai in his ignorance.
If on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day, he knew that she was a woman, even if Xiao Mubai offered her the world in exchange, he would not agree...
When Xia Chu saw his dazed look, with unspeakable sadness in his eyes, she thought he had some scruples facing the people of the capital. Then he smiled brightly, turned his body around, and pushed him gently. A handful: "Go ahead."
Xiao Zimu's breathing suddenly became heavy, and the hot blood rushing through his body seemed to have cooled down instantly.
The sunlight in the corner put away its blurry and charming warm orange color. She was clearly within his reach, but he couldn't reach out.
Between them, who is it and who has been pushed away...
Xiao Zimu walked to the shady corner where there was no one around, and leaned against the wall to calm his breathing.
In the shade where the sunlight was cut off, the palace wall behind him was cold, and the north wind was like a knife. He calmed down with the whistling wind in his ears, and suppressed the unspeakable emotions in his heart.
In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the ministers learned the good news that Chang'an had been recaptured by King Mo, and their faces were filled with obvious joy.
Although they chose to stay, they had already made up their minds to die for their country.
But after hearing that Chang'an was controlled by Concubine Li, it was inevitable to worry about the safety of her family.
After all, every person in this court has a hand in the rise and fall of the whole family and the mansion. They are not afraid of life and death and serve the country loyally.
But after all, there is a wife, son and daughter in the house, which affects his heart.
Xiao Zimu took the courtiers out of the palace and allowed them to disperse back to the palace to visit their families. Kong Changhui and Ji Ming stayed behind. Although they had a palace but no family, they accompanied Xiao Zimu to appease the people.
When the common people heard that the cavalry were running to tell each other that Chang'an was victorious in the battle and the crisis was over, they all went out one after another and moved toward the center of Sifang Street.
Xiao Zimu walked in the direction where the people were gathering, and Yu Yingbo stepped in front to clear the way for him. The few forbidden troops were lined up in two rows.
His Highness the Crown Prince's pomp and circumstance, the more at such a time, the more important it is to show off.
Xiao Mubai was in the crowd and had already told the people about all the unexpected incidents in Beijing. Kong Changhui was also ordered to post official documents that could not be sent out before.
It's just that all the available troops in Dali Temple have been mobilized, and only some old government officials are left...
