In an ordinary house outside the palace, Duan Muxi was walking back and forth anxiously.
Ming Yan looked at Duan Muxi who looked uneasy, frowned and said, "Don't worry, Mo Heng will definitely bring him back safely."
Duanmuxi nodded slightly when he heard this.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Jun Wuxie said in a loud voice, "They are back."
Hearing the sound, Duanmu Xi and Ming Yan looked out the door at the same time and walked out together.
Seeing Duan Mu Xi, Jun Wuxie immediately took credit and said, "Cousin Xi'er, he saved them both."
Xuanyuan Mo and Chen'er, who were walking behind Jun Wuxie, heard that their foreheads fell into two black lines at the same time. When did they need his rescue
Duan Muxi looked at Xuanyuan Mo and Chen'er behind Jun Wuxie and frowned, "Where is my mother? Wasn't she rescued?"
Chen'er's eyes darkened when he heard this, then he raised his eyes and looked at Duanmu Xi and said, "She is safe now, so he wants to not let her stay in the palace for the time being, so as not to alert others."
Duanmuxi nodded when he heard this and said, "Is my mother's illness okay?"
Hearing this, Chen'er shook his head and said, "She's fine. But she was so sad when she heard that he died that she fainted. Now she's awake."
Xuanyuan Mo glanced at the low courtyard walls on both sides, frowned and said, "Let's talk after they go in."
Everyone nodded after hearing this and entered the house together.
Chen'er looked around Dong's empty room and frowned, "Where's Xiao Wu?"
Duanmu Xi said, "I just drank the medicine and fell asleep."
Chen'er nodded after hearing this.
Several people walked to the table together, and Duan Muxi poured a cup of tea for everyone.
"What's the situation outside now?"
Xuanyuan Mo frowned when he heard this and said, "Zhuge Weiming is in control of the government, Xiahou Xun is ready to make a move, and Xuanwu is about to be in chaos."
Everyone looked solemn when they heard this.
Seeing everyone's silence, Xuanyuan Mo added, "He has received news from Yu Feng that Lian Zhengyu and the others will only arrive in seven or eight days."
Duanmuxi couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, "Seven or eight days, I'm afraid it won't be late." Now that the news of Chen'er's "death" has come out, Zhuge Weiming and that Xia Houxun will definitely take action in the coming months, otherwise they can't rush it If they were stopped during the Xuanwu Rebellion, the people of Xuanwu would suffer.
What Duan Muxi thought of, everyone else also thought of it, and they all frowned and lowered their eyes in silence.
After a moment of silence, Xuanyuan Mo suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Chen'er and said, "Can you analyze the military strength of Yidong Xuanwu Kingdom for them?"
Chen'er nodded solemnly when he heard this, "Back then, father." Chen'er paused as he spoke, with a flash of pain and desolation in his eyes.
Duan Muxi, who was walking beside Chen'er, felt the change in Chen'er's aura and frowned suddenly. What's wrong with Chen'er? Why does it seem weird
Afraid of being seen by Duan Muxi, Chen'er immediately restrained his emotions and continued, "Before his death, my father appointed two princes, the regent Zhuge Weiming and the Zhao king Xia Houxun. Both of them commanded two hundred thousand troops at the same time. , it can be said that they are evenly matched, except for the two of them, General Lian Taichu, Lian Zhengyu’s father, also has a hundred thousand troops."
Xuanyuan Mo frowned when he heard this, "That's only 500,000. Xuanwu's troops should be more than that." The four countries are equally powerful. Even if Xuanwu is not the weakest among the four countries, there will not be 500,000 troops.
Chen'er's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he pulled a black rope from his neck. There was a black ring hanging on the black rope, "That's what my father gave him before he died. He asked him to take it to the imperial city." Find a man named Xuan Chi at the Xuanzi Blacksmith Shop on East Street, and he will give him 200,000 troops. That Xuan Chi is the leader of the Xuanwei, and he met him very well when my father was alive."
Hearing this, Duan Muxi touched Chen'er's head with emotion and said, "My father is a person to be looked down upon." But before he died, he made so many arrangements for his three-year-old child. Her cousin really If you are not a good person, you will die young.
Xuanyuan Mo's dark eyes flashed when he heard this. Indeed, as an emperor as well as his father, Xiahou Chen was qualified. He was afraid that he had anticipated tomorrow's situation, so he would specifically bring out Zhuge Weiming and Xiahou Chen. With Xun's evenly matched legs, there is a balance of military power and power, so that the three-year-old Xia Houchen can grow up safely in the gap.
Chen'er's eyes dimmed again when he heard this. His father, who was like a god in his heart, once wanted to be his proudest child, and wanted to be the best emperor for him. It turns out that from beginning to end, he None of them have that qualification.
Sensing that Chen'er was in a good mood, Xuanyuan Mo immediately changed the subject and said, "Chen'er, they will go to Huangcheng East Street tomorrow to find Xuan Chi." Xuanwu was about to be in chaos, and they had to make plans in advance, just in case.
Chen'er nodded slightly when he heard this. Even if his surname was not Xiahou, he would protect the Xiahou family for his father.
Back in the room, Duan Muxi directly pulled Xuanyuan Mo and said, "Will something happen in the palace tomorrow? Why does he look weird at Chen'er."
Xuanyuan Mo's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, he hugged Duanmu Xi directly and said, "Nothing happened."
Duanmuxi raised his eyebrows when he heard this and said, "Really?"
"Really." There was no wave in the calm voice.
Xuanyuan Mo stretched out his legs and caressed Duan Muxi's high belly, "How are you? Are you tired?"
Duanmuxi shook his head slightly when he heard this, "No, they are very good."
A soft light flashed in Xuanyuan Mo's eyes when he heard this, and he curled his lips and said, "They should have a baby girl, and they will be given to Chen'er in the future."
Hearing this, Duan Muxi glared at Xuanyuan Mo and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I forgot whether he and Chen'er are related by blood. Speaking of which, Chen'er is not the uncle of the babies. That's a generation difference!" "She also likes Chen'er very much. This is no joke. In modern times, marriage between collateral blood relatives beyond three generations is prohibited.
When Xuanyuan Mo heard this, a secretive light flashed in his eyes. Maybe he and Chen'er would really become father and son in the future.
Early in the morning of the next month, two tall and tall figures, one big and one small, were among the endless crowds on Huangcheng East Street.
Xuanyuan Mo and Chen'er changed into ordinary clothes and disguised themselves, blending in with the crowd. If you didn't pay attention to their aura, they would be as inconspicuous as an ordinary father and son.
When they reached the end of East Street, they saw a blacksmith shop with the word "Xuan" hanging on it. They took a wrong look and walked in together.
The blacksmith shop is very simple, just like an ordinary blacksmith shop. The big stove in the middle of the room is blowing coals to show off the fire. Next to the big stove, a young man is walking and pulling the bellows. The bellows is very There was a strong man who was hitting the iron with a hammer.
Seeing the two people coming in, the blacksmith immediately stopped his work to greet them, "What do you two want to ask for?"
Xuanyuan Mo glanced at the blacksmith indifferently, stopping at the pair of official boots at first, his eyes flickering, "They are looking for Xuan Chi."
When the blacksmith heard this, a flash of light quickly flashed in his eyes, and then he turned to Chen'er. Looking at those familiar eyebrows, a flash of excitement flashed across the black eyes of the blacksmith. He bowed slightly to the two of them and said, "You two, please come with him. The person we are looking for is inside." The blacksmith said. He turned around and took Xuanyuan Mo and Chen'er into the inner room.
The young man walking by the stove saw several people entering the inner room, and immediately stood up and closed the door of the shop.
The blacksmith took Xuanyuan Mo and Chen'er into a secret room. As soon as they entered the secret room, the blacksmith knelt down to Chen'er and said, "Dong, please see the emperor."
Upon seeing this, Chen'er immediately raised his legs to support him, "Uncle Xuanchi, there's no need to be polite."
Xuan Chi stood up according to the words, looked at Chen'er with a flattered face and said, "The emperor remembers Shudong very much."
Chen'er curled her lips when she heard this and said, "Of course, back then, Uncle Xuanchi was the most powerful secret guard in my father's hands."
Hearing Chen'er mention the late emperor, a hint of sadness flashed in Xuan Chi's eyes.
Looking at Xuan Chi's lonely eyes, a touch of sadness flashed across Chen'er's eyes, "Uncle Xuan Chi, I should have heard about Xuanwu's recent situation."
Hearing this, Xuan Chi came back to his senses and looked at Chen'er and said, "I heard a little bit. There are rumors that the emperor is with you. Fortunately, you are fine." When he heard the news that the little emperor had passed away, he didn't believe it. He had been thinking about it for those days. Waiting for him, if he doesn't show up again, he will ask to lead troops to find him.
Chen'er's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this, and he frowned and said, "If Zhuge Weiming and Xia Houxun are both ready to make a move, Uncle Xuanchi should know the purpose of his coming there."
Xuan Chi nodded when he heard this and said, "He Minghong, I wonder if the emperor has brought any tokens."
Hearing this, Chen'er stretched out his legs to take out the black iron ring around his neck and handed it to Xuan Chi.
When Xuan Chi saw the black iron ring, he knelt down to Donglai again and said respectfully, "But the emperor is at his disposal."
Chen'er breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, put away the black iron ring and said, "Where are the two hundred thousand soldiers and horses now?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Chi immediately bowed and said, "They are at Huwei Mountain, which is more than a hundred miles away. Shudong will take you there."
Chen'er's eyes flashed slightly when he heard this. Is that the famous bandit den in Huwei Mountain? Zhuge Weiming sent many officers and soldiers, but failed several times to encircle and suppress it. He didn't expect that they would hide there. I'm afraid the reputation of Huwei Mountain can't be spread by themselves to scare the people nearby.
Not long after that, there was an inconspicuous carriage in the backyard of the blacksmith shop, heading towards Huwei Mountain.
Two days later, Xuanwu was in chaos.
Rumors that the regent Zhuge Weiming had killed the young emperor spread throughout Xuanwu, and everyone accused Zhuge Weiming of being a wolf-hearted person who repaid kindness with hatred.
King Zhao Xiahou Xun also raised the banner of surrendering Zhuge Weiming and avenging the little emperor amidst the shouting and scolding, which instantly won the unanimous praise of the people of Xuanwu. Some passionate young people even volunteered to join Xiahou Xun's camp to crusade Zhuge Weiming.
I have to say that King Zhao’s legs are really very good. At that time, raising an army to revolt would not only not be labeled as plotting to usurp the throne, but also won the title of hero. Even Lian Taichu, the general of Xuanwu Kingdom, heard that Zhuge Weiming had harmed After the rumors of the death of the little emperor, they all joined Xia Houxun's camp.
