Book with Emperor

Chapter 25 Socialist Successor

It was dark at dusk, and half of Tong'an City was gradually shrouded in dim dusk. Except for a few or two dogs chirping, the city was completely silent.

Suddenly there was a messy and noisy sound of horseshoes outside the city. Not long after, a group of cavalry escorted a luxurious bright yellow carriage from the city gate.

There were 20 cavalrymen in that team, all of them were wearing silver armor, with broad swords on their waists, and they were very imposing.

As they approached the city, the leading cavalry reined in their horses and raised their heads and shouted toward the tower, "Open the city gate!"

Someone on the city tower shouted, "You hour has come, the city gates are closed!"

"Presumptuous! Do you know who is sitting in the carriage?"

"..."

The tower became silent, and the leading cavalry took out a gold medal engraved with imperial characters, "I am General Lingyun, Lou Binghe, Your Majesty is here! Please open the city quickly to welcome you!"

Across the gate, there were [-] soldiers in the city, densely packed the entire main street.

Yun Zihu, who was standing at the front, smiled when he heard the words, and sent a message to the people on the tower, "Open the city gate."

"Yes."

In a corner not far away, the master and servant who followed these unknown soldiers also quietly saw this scene.

"What are they talking about?"

"The person from outside is Emperor Xi."

"To catch a turtle in an urn, to catch a thief, first catch the king."

The woman showed surprise and said with a smile, "It turns out that these people are waiting for Emperor Xuanyi."

The young man behind him frowned, "Do you want to make a move?"

"why?"

"If you want to take something, you must first give it. If we help him, it will be easier to ask him for something."

"My Xiaoqi, your master, I never like to kneel on the ground and ask others for things, I like to let others deliver them to me, besides..."

The corner of the woman's lips curled up, "It was originally our own."

Xiao Qi pursed her lips and was about to speak when suddenly a raccoon cat ran by beside her and kicked down a crock pot of pickles outside someone else's yard.

"Crack-"

There was a crisp sound, which could be heard very clearly in this silent street.

The woman watched the cat leave without a word, wagging its tail, and a few soldiers rushed over the next moment.

"who!"

Xiao Qi raised his hand to move his sword, but was stopped by his master.

"You two officials, I'm here to look for cats."

The woman pointed at the raccoon cat not far away in fear, and said pitifully, "I see it's not yet curfew time, but I wonder if it's disturbing the official's work?"

A soldier came over and looked at the two of them, wondering, "Are you from Tong'an? It looks strange."

"If you go back to the official, I married out of town last year and just came back to visit relatives."

"you--"

The soldier wanted to ask again, and saw the huge city gate slowly opened.

"The city gate is open, there must be no mistakes."

Seeing this, another soldier yelled, "These two are sneaky, arrest them first and lock them up with those people!"

The master and servant looked at each other without any resistance, and obediently had their hands tied, and were taken to an unexpected place.

The woman looked at the magistrate's mansion in front of her, and couldn't help sighing, "Wow, the arrangement of fate is always such a coincidence."

The soldier who caught her asked, "What are you talking about?"

"It's just a coincidence. I ate at the restaurant opposite yesterday."

The woman raised her chin and pointed to the opposite side, "Squirrel mandarin fish is not bad."

"Stop talking nonsense! Be honest, or you will die!"

The soldiers directly locked the two of them into the woodshed in the prefect's backyard without untying the ropes in their hands, as if they were afraid that they would escape.

"So cautious, the quality of this class of soldiers is good." The woman tried to bite the rope with her teeth as she sighed.

"No way, it's the Dragon Lock."

Xiao Qi frowned and looked at the environment of the firewood room, "What should we do now?"

"Call for help, you call first, I have idol baggage."

"..."

The two soldiers who left over there were very dedicated to their duties, and they did not forget to report the matter to Yun Zihu when they arrived at the city gate.

However, the city tower has seen with his own eyes that the person on the carriage is the current emperor, and now that the city gate has been opened, Yun Zihu has no intention of paying attention to the two ordinary people who were caught.

He waved his hands to make the two of them retreat, and made all the soldiers lie in ambush, then retreated to a distance, looking at the team of bright yellow carriages slowly coming in from outside the city, which symbolized the supreme imperial power.

"Master Chang." He called out.

Chang Fengyuan, dressed in a bird official uniform, walked up to the carriage with his head down in fear, and slowly knelt down, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, Chang Fengyuan, welcome!"

After he finished speaking, there was no movement in the carriage, and he couldn't help but look up, but he was facing the cold eyes of the silver armored cavalry leader above his helmet, and was covered in cold sweat.

"Flat body."

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a tall man in a blue-black gown slowly came out, his handsome brows were full of majesty and calm, and his sharp eyes looked at the people under his feet with a half-smile.

Yun Zihu, who was lying in ambush in the dark, had a quick heartbeat. He had seen the portrait of Emperor Xi at the prince's place more than once, and he recognized the portrait in front of him almost at a glance!
He subconsciously looked up to the reception building, where a man wearing a ghost mask stood. The man met his gaze and slowly raised his hand.

Yun Zi arc's heart shook, and he immediately got up and shouted, "Close the city gate!"

With an order, the tall and wide city gate was slowly closed. At the same time, thousands of armored soldiers poured out from all directions in the street, surrounding the carriages and cavalry regiments in the middle, their blades shining with silver light.

The tall man standing among the cavalry looked indifferently at the kneeling man, "You guys are so brave, how dare you try to usurp the throne!"

Chang Fengyuan's face was pale, lying on the ground, crawling to the side tremblingly.

"Didn't Your Majesty also usurp the throne from Prince Cen?"

Yun Zihu sneered, "Get it for me!"

Chengnan mansion.

In the dark room, there were only a few lanterns showing some light, Qin Guanyue stood in front of the dark and ventilated window, gathered her clothes tightly, and covered her mouth.

"It's late at night, but there's no sound of watch."

No one answered behind her, Qin Guanyue looked back and found Yue Wentian standing in front of a bookshelf groping.

She walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "You have been groping for as long as we have been in, aren't you tired?"

"There is no food and water here, we can't last long." Yue Wentian didn't raise his head, and continued to search for the mechanism to open the hint door.

The person behind patted his shoulder again.

Yue Wentian stopped and looked back at her.

Qin Guanyue stretched out her hand and looked at him, "My hands are frozen."

Yue Wentian stared at her for a while, then held her hand, sure enough, it was icy cold.

Qin Guanyue is really cold, she doesn't wear much, and the dark room is gloomy and cold, after so many hours, her fingers have already been frozen, and she will be held by Yue Wentian's warm hands, and then she will slowly warm up, The fingers gradually became conscious.

At this moment, the door of the dark room suddenly opened, and the bright candle flame instantly illuminated most of the dark room.

"Then what..."

Jin Suanzi poked his head out and looked at them cautiously, "There is a rebellion outside, why don't you go back and make out again?"

Yue Wentian let go of his hand and walked over, "You came alone?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a cry of pain, like a cry before death.

The door outside opened suddenly, and Jiang Huan walked in holding a bloody sword, and there were several dead bodies lying outside.

Seeing this scene, Qin Guanyue paused, looked away, and stood behind Yue Wentian.

Yue Wentian glanced at her, then looked at Jiang Huan, "What's going on outside?"

"The Yun family rebelled and brought five thousand elite soldiers to surround the emperor on the main street of the city gate."

The more he heard the sound, his eyes sank, "Han Zhengwei is still at Chang Fengyuan's place."

"Don't worry, he is protected by Sun Chu, but what about Tang Biaotou and the others?" Qin Guanyue asked.

"People from the Escort Bureau led people to sneak into Tong'an secretly the day before yesterday, and they should reach the prison cell now."

Jiang Huan looked at Qin Guanyue, "Do you have any plans?"

"Escape first."

Yue Wentian picked up a knife from the ground, grabbed Qin Guanyue's hand and walked out.

Qin Guanyue was caught off guard by being pulled out by him and couldn't help being taken aback. Just as she was about to speak, she heard someone shouting for help.

Jiang Huan and the others also heard it, raised their heads and asked, "Can you help me?"

"It's too late, let's go."

Yue Wentian didn't turn his head back, and Qin Guanyue was not an ignorant Virgin, so he didn't refute.

The cry for help stopped for a while, and suddenly a high-pitched female voice sounded, "They are all successors of socialism, one family can be saved!"

Qin Guanyue's pupils shrank, and she suddenly stopped and looked at the firewood room.
