Chapter 403 The Capital of Pretending
On the roof of a restaurant near the city gate, Su Mianyue and Ji Xun watched the fighting scene over there while drinking.

The soldiers guarding the city are no better than those who are drilled all day long. The people under the admiral of the nine gates are also more airy than practical. Fortunately, they have the gates to guard them so that they have a chance of winning.

Even if the soldiers and horses of the vassal kings from all over the country wanted to enter the city, most of them were in a state of cheering and shouting slogans. There was only one flag with the words "Pingyang King" waving there in the wind, and there was a gorgeous carriage behind the soldiers, which should be Pingyang. The king's car, but he has never seen the people inside.

"This King Pingyang is arrogant, does he have the capital to pretend to be aggressive?" Su Mianyue asked puzzled, she didn't have a deep impression of this King Pingyang.

"Pingyang King is the only king with a different surname in the Yan Kingdom. He has the iron certificate of the alchemy book bestowed by the founding emperor in his hand. Although Pingyang City can only be regarded as a medium-sized city, it has an army that is not under the control of the court, and the throne of Pingyang King has been passed down from generation to generation. "Ji Xun replied calmly.

Su Mianyue nodded knowingly, and asked curiously: "Didn't the emperors of all dynasties think of getting rid of this Pingyang King?" Allowing private soldiers is a taboo for emperors, and Su Mianyue doesn't believe that the founding emperor would Being stupid enough to give people a chance to usurp the throne is probably a wake-up call for future generations. It is doomed that King Pingyang will not be able to live and die with Yan.

Ji Xun sighed and said: "I don't know if the emperors of all dynasties have the heart to get rid of King Pingyang, but my father asked me about this topic when he was in power. I guess my father didn't want to accommodate the lineage of King Pingyang. It’s just that the previous generation of King Pingyang has always been cautious, even if the army does not have to report to the court, he will report the number of troops to the court every year, and the number will never exceed 15, and he will not act recklessly because of the iron certificate of the Danshu.”

Hearing that there was something in Ji Xun's words, Su Mianyue thought for a while and smiled, "Perhaps what your father can't do, you can do for him."

"Oh?" Ji Xun leaned close to Su Mianyue and asked, "Ah Yue has an idea?"

"No." Su Mianyue shook her head and smiled brightly: "It was this idiot who created an opportunity for you. A vassal king brought 5000 troops to Beijing and dared to cause trouble at the gate of the city. If you don't take this opportunity to make him pay The price, isn't it that I am sorry for King Pingyang's willingness to share his worries?"

Thin lips brushed across Su Mianyue's face, Ji Xun didn't want to take advantage of such a place without privacy, he just smiled and said: "Listen to Ah Yue, I also think that King Pingyang has a heart of loyalty to the emperor. It should be enough for him."

Signaling to the dark, Ji Xun stood up and took Su Mianyue's hand and said, "There is nothing exciting to see here except the blood. I'll take you back to the palace and wait for another scene."

Seeing that she was able to guard the city gate, Su Mianyue didn't worry about the situation here, so she handed Ji Xun her hand and asked him to stand up, saying, "It's the first time I feel that you have to keep your head on your shoulders all the time. This Pingyang Wang probably has too many good days, and wants to experience the feeling of not being able to sleep at night, now you can kill two chickens to warn the monkeys, and you are not afraid that someone will make trouble after you ascend the throne."

"With the lucky star of Ah Yue, everything will go well." Ji Xun did not forget to flatter him.

"Really?" Su Mianyue's expression darkened. If she was really a lucky star, nothing would happen to her father, brother and Biwu, and Shangguanpei and Xuezhu...

Thinking of where Xue Zhu's body was hidden, Su Mianyue was afraid that Yan Lin would use Xue Zhu's body to vent her anger after returning to China, so wouldn't she be very sorry for Xue Zhu?
Sensing that Su Mianyue was depressed, Ji Xun could only hold her hand tightly, and changed the topic: "Although the treasury of the Yan Kingdom is not empty, Yun Wansheng has been squandering all these years in power. It is also extortionate miscellaneous taxes, if these princes can be kept from civil strife, at least not at the same time, Yan will have a chance to restore vitality, otherwise Yan will be in danger."

"Don't worry, there will be no chaos." Su Mianyue smiled softly, and said to Ji Xun: "Most of these princes want to take advantage of the opportunity, and they all understand that once they rebel, they will die, and even if they jointly attack Going to Yanjing, whoever will be the emperor in the future will not be uniformly respected, anyone with a little brain will weigh the pros and cons."

"The rise and fall of the country, in the eyes of these people, is just an opportunity for power and wealth. They are really in vain for the descendants of the Ji family!" Ji Xun looked out of the city with a gloomy expression.

"This is the way of the monarch and ministers. The emperor sits on thousands of miles of rivers and mountains and can dominate everything in the world, but the only thing a minister can have is power and wealth. People with desires are easier to control. Otherwise, what do you use to buy people's hearts? "Su Mianyue took this matter lightly, and knew that Ji Xun already had a plan to deal with it, otherwise she wouldn't have the time to talk to her.

The two looked out of the city for a while, seeing the Admiral of Nine Gates ordering to shoot arrows to kill those who trespassed, and then they flew off the roof and headed towards the palace.

King Pingyang never expected that Ji Xun's people would order to shoot him. When the arrow rain hit the car, he was so frightened that he kept shouting for help. Su Mianyue, who was walking in the city, could hear the voice, but turned a deaf ear to it.

King Pingyang is the first alarm that Ji Xun wants to ring for these vassal kings, and no one will remember if he doesn't fight hard.

Before entering the palace, Jun Buhui waited at the gate of the palace with Jun Mingzhu in his arms, and stopped Su Mianyue to discuss something. Although Ji Xun didn't want Su Mianyue to leave, it can be seen that Jun Buhui was anxious and unwilling to say more He didn't seem to ask, he trusted both of them, but he still couldn't help but feel bad.

"Jun Buhui, are you crazy? Why are you pulling me?" Su Mianyue shook her hands vigorously but still couldn't shake Jun Buhui's tug on her sleeve.

"Stop making trouble, I have something to tell you, go back to Jun's mansion with me." No matter how Su Mianyue asked or showed her face, Jun Buhui only had this one sentence.

Seeing the backs of the two walking away, Ji Xun's face turned dark, his eyes kept falling on the sleeves of Su Mianyue's being held, thinking in his heart that after all these things were done, he should find some time to have a good time with Junbuhui Learn about martial arts.

Now that the vassal princes have different thoughts, it is time for Jun Buhui, a capable person, to investigate around.

Not knowing that he was hated by Ji Xunji, Jun Buhui took Su Mianyue back to the Junfu in an anxious state, and only after entering the study and making sure that no one outside could eavesdrop did he say to Su Mianyue: "The Si family has gone to Beijing, and they will arrive in the capital tomorrow, what should I do?"

"What does the Si family's going to Beijing have to do with you?" Su Mianyue was stunned for a moment.

He raised Jun Mingzhu higher for Su Mianyue to take a closer look, Jun Buhui hurriedly turned around: "I finally brought up the little guy so big, if they come to snatch someone, should I give it? No, I have to think about it." It’s a solution, or else I’ll leave here with Mingzhu?”

It was only then that Su Mianyue remembered that Jun Mingzhu's mother was Si Yihuan, and the Si family was Jun Buhui's maternal ancestral family, they were the real blood relatives.

Seeing Jun Buhui's flustered look, Su Mianyue believed that this guy was addicted to being a cheap father, coughed and said: "The Si family is not unreasonable, as long as you treat Mingzhu well, they probably won't get along with you." You snatched the child, and it is a good thing that Mingzhu is loved by her grandparents, can you still escape for the rest of your life?"

Jun Buhui stopped, looked at Su Mianyue for a long time, then nodded vigorously, and said firmly: "Whoever dares to steal the pearl from the Lord will wait for the revenge of the Lord, even if the Lord can't kill the Si family, he will never give them this chance Grab a daughter with my father!"
