After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 372 Elegy Six

Autumn rain all the way worry.

Li Chenan was also very worried.

He got into Shangdi's carriage, and the whole team also put on the horses left over from the battlefield in Huaishan County.

A team of more than [-] people ran wildly in the autumn rain.

What Li Chenan is worried about is the current situation in Kyoto.

It's not who wins or who loses, but the safety of Zhongli Ruoshui!
If Xi Wei wants to take down Yujing City, he will inevitably face the Shenwu Army of Dingguo Houfu.

Dingguohoufu is the guardian of Ningguo, so Dingguhoufu's position will not have any other choice.

Xi Wei can realize his illusory ideal only by destroying the martial arts army in Dingguohou's Mansion.

Li Chen'an wouldn't be too worried if he fought head-on, after all, there was old lady Fan Taohua.

But for a scheming person like Xi Wei, he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals!

What Li Chenan was worried about was that he was playing tricks.

For example, seize the weakness of Dingguohou's mansion - Zhongli Ruoshui or other heirs of Zhongli's family, and use it to blackmail Fan Taohua.

So these years, Mrs. Fan's deployment in Shuzhou originally thought that she was leaving a way out for Zhongli Mansion, but she did not send people from Zhongli Mansion to Shuzhou during the change in the capital... What is her intention? Woolen cloth?

Just for the soldiers of Shuzhou?
This idea just flashed in Li Chenan's mind, he didn't think about it because the team had already arrived in Tai'an City.

The gates of the city are open, and they are in the air.

The procession passed through the city without being stopped.

Just over ten miles outside the city, the speed of the team suddenly slowed down. He opened the curtain of the car, and what he saw was... a pile of corpses!
There are corpses of Shenwu soldiers in black armor.

There are also corpses of the Red Flame Army with red tassels tied to their helmets.

The battle here is over, and the outcome is unknown, because no living creature has been seen.

The team moved on.

Wang Zhengjinzhong, who was exploring the way ahead, has already returned with his horse.

He came to Li Chenan's carriage and said in a low voice:
"Master Li, the gates of the capital city have been closed, and the city... the city is extremely chaotic!"

"The imperial palace has been surrounded, most of them are the people of Kyoto, and there are unknown soldiers mixed in."

"According to the people from the Sixth Division, it is very likely that they are the ten thousand dead men in Qishan!"

"The palace is guarded by the Shenwu army. There is no sign of attacking the palace yet. The two sides seem to be at a stalemate, or they may be waiting for something."

"Ji Tai's whole family was killed, and Miss Ruoshui was not in the plum garden. I heard that she had already gone to Yunji Bieye."

Li Chenan pondered for a moment, and was not surprised that Ji Tai was killed.

Because Ji Tai is a pawn in Xi Wei's hands, now is the best time to sacrifice this pawn to demonstrate justice and mobilize the emotions of the people of Kyoto.

"Changing the road, go to Yunji Bieye!"

The team turned and headed towards Yunji Bieye.

And at this moment, Fan Taohua, who was seriously injured, just came to Yunji Bieye!

She didn't come here to recuperate.

Rather... a guest she never expected came to Yunji Bieye!
……

……

"At this time of national crisis, I invite the old lady to return to Yunji Bieye. It is because I have something to say, and I want to have a good chat with the old lady!"

An elegant small building gathered in Bieye.

Huai Pingshan, the Duke of Huai who had long been forgotten by everyone in the capital, was sitting in front of Fan Taohua at this moment.

He was still wearing a blue sackcloth, but his face was a little more rosy than before.

Fan Taohua took out a handkerchief, covered her mouth and coughed a few times, looked at Duke Huai meaningfully, and made a pot of tea.

When putting the handkerchief into her arms, she looked down.

Blood!

Dark red blood!

"Old Duke, the Dingguohou Mansion always welcomes the old Duke as a guest."

"In the past ten years, the old man has almost stayed behind closed doors. This old man is careless, and he has never visited your mansion."

"I am very happy that you came today, but..."

Mrs. Fan raised her eyes to Huaiding Mountain, and frowned slightly, "It's just that you brought so many soldiers to block the outside of Shuiyun Mountain... Xi Wei's people have already entered Yujing City, so you don't have to worry about the prince. safety?"

"What do you mean by this, is that I, Fan Taohua, are more dangerous than Xi Wei?"

"Or do you want to propose something, and you have to ask me, Fan Taohua, to agree?!"

Huaipingshan smiled slightly: "The old lady is worrying too much!"

"I don't hide anything from my old lady. Those soldiers are indeed soldiers raised by my Duke Huai's mansion over the years. It's just that this old man has no intention of threatening the old lady. He just wants to take the old lady into the capital!"

"The overall situation in Kyoto requires the old lady to sit in charge!"

Huaipingshan spoke earnestly, he cupped his hands, and said: "Over the years, thank you Dingguohoufu for taking care of and protecting His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Although the old man has long stopped asking about worldly affairs, the prince will occasionally visit the old man."

"The prince said that if there were no Marquis of Dingguo's Mansion, Duke Cheng and Duke Qi, he would have been deposed by the emperor as Prince and kicked out of the East Palace."

"A few days ago, the capital was already full of storms and clouds. This old man feels that this matter... may not end well."

"After all, this country of Ning belongs to the Ning family. Since the crown prince is in the East Palace, the future of this country will belong to him."

"Dingguohou's Mansion and Chengguogong's Mansion and Qiguogong's Mansion are dealing with this storm. If I, Mrs. Huai, are still standing by and watching, this is because I, an old guy, am ignorant. So, this is just a collection of what I have saved over the years. Family property, think about it and hand it over to the old lady, so as to calm down the chaos in Kyoto!"

After a pause, Huaipingshan leaned over and said in a low voice: "According to reliable news, the news from Changle Palace, the emperor..."

Fan Taohua was startled, "What happened to the emperor?"

"The emperor has passed away!"

Fan Taohua's hand holding the teapot was fixed in the air. After a few breaths, she put the teapot down. Instead of pouring tea, she asked very seriously:
"really?"

"How dare this old man talk nonsense about such a thing! It was Xi Wei who did it, because the emperor knew of Xi Wei's ambition and intended to fight back, but was killed by Xi Wei!"

"The corpse is still on the dragon bed in Changle Palace, and no one has picked it up yet!"

Fan Taohua took a deep breath, and frowned, "Do you have ears in Changle Palace?"

"A few years ago, when the crown prince's mother and queen were still alive, a young eunuch beside the emperor was sent to the emperor by the old man. He happened to be selected by the emperor and brought to Changle Palace... But the news of that place is extremely difficult to spread. come out."

"How did Xi Wei control the emperor?"

"A blind pill!"

Fan Taohua was startled: "What elixir?"

"Afuran!"

"Extremely rare. It is said that it was obtained from the Dali Kingdom. Sucking it makes people excited and makes people feel like they are in the air... It is said that this is the effect of the emperor's cultivation."

"But this thing is addictive. The emperor has been smoking it for a long time, and he can't quit it. He can only rely on Xi Wei to provide it every day. If he stops it for a while, he will be in pain, so he is threatened by Xi Wei."

Fan Taohua lowered her eyebrows, as if she silently accepted the fact that the emperor had passed away.

She pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyes to Huaiding Mountain, and said: "The malpractices of the current government cannot be solved by kindness."

When Huai Dingshan heard this, he understood the meaning of this sentence, he was slightly startled, "Then the old lady's candidate is...?"

"Wait!"

"Wait for what?"

"Wait for the return of the eldest son!"

Huai Dingshan sat up straight, and asked after a while: "Is the eldest son of the emperor still alive? Or maybe the old lady has news of the whereabouts of the eldest son?"

Fan Taohua picked up the teapot and filled Huaidingshan with a cup of tea.

When the tea is full, it is to see off guests.

"I still have a lot to do!"

Huai Dingshan stood up, "The prince has never been favored by you?"

"No, the prince is very good, we all like it, it's just...he's suitable to be an idle prince for the rest of his life."

"He, he can't afford Ningguo's burden!"

"The eldest son of the emperor who doesn't know where he is yet will do?"

"Maybe, or wait until the eldest son of the emperor is found before making a decision."

Huaidingshan raised his head, "The crown prince ascends the throne as the emperor, and the Baoding Marquis Mansion will enjoy wealth and honor forever!"

"It's not about being rich."

"What's the problem?"

"It's a matter of Ning's survival!"

"The State of Yue has sent troops to the State of Ning, the State of Xiye is gathering at the border, the State of the Great Wilderness has begun to whet its appetite, and the State of Wu has fallen into trouble. It is sending envoys to the capital, with the intention of accepting Wuyaguan as the territory of the State of Wu!"

"Ningguo's current situation is the most dangerous in the past 300 years!"

"Does the old man think that the prince has the ability to turn the tide?!"

"...how do you know if you don't try?"

"How can you try the important affairs of the country?"

Huai Dingshan didn't say any more, he turned around and stepped out of the small pavilion.

In a moment, tens of thousands of soldiers rushed to the field of gathering.

Huai Dingshan stood outside the Gathering Bieye, with his hands behind his back, looking up at Qiu Yu, and said in a low voice:
"This is the prince's country!"

"You all die!"
