Chapter 61 Decision

?Yu Wenming stood in the open space and commanded the Anzhou army to control the palace. Because he had been attacked by assassins in succession, he decided not to take risks before the situation was clear. There was no palace and tower in a hundred steps, so the assassins could not approach it.

There were army everywhere in the palace, although he might not be able to search every corner in time. Now he has stabilized his position and returned to the palace, so he has to be wary of the assassin, and there is no need to go to Emperor Liang Xiao Kui to settle the score in person.

"I will say it again. Unless we encounter stubborn people, we are not allowed to kill indiscriminately, loot, and robbery!" Yu Wenming is worried about military discipline now. Although the two sides have broken up, no matter how angry they are, they must be at a proper position.

Even if Xiao Kui is dealt with, Liang Guo’s sign has to be kept. Since we have to keep this sign, the scene cannot be too ugly, otherwise it would be better to do things. Yu Wenming knew his father’s arrangements, so no matter how unwilling he was, he had to take the overall situation into consideration.

When he entered the palace just now, he heard the imperial guards say that just before he and his group left the palace, a group of people were fighting in the Zhulin Hall with the name of Anzhou Army. Yu Wenming was surprised and wondered whether the Anzhou Army, who had appeared in the palace for no reason, was the general's surprise soldier.

‘How did they get into the palace?’ Yu Wenming was a little strange. According to the information received sporadically, this group of people did not attack the palace gate but suddenly appeared in the palace. When he was puzzled, the general who had sent to Zhulin Hall to "invite" Emperor Xiao Kui to meet, came back. There was also an acquaintance with him.

"Erlang? Why are you in the palace?" Yu Wenming asked, and when he saw his younger brother, he was half missing, but his other half was still foggy.

When Yuwen Wen saw that his brother was safe and sound, he felt relieved. He was afraid that his brother would encounter an accident halfway after he escaped from the palace. The mastermind of this mutiny could plan this game of chess under the eyes of the Anzhou army, and he would definitely have more than one ambush.

It would be much easier to deal with if the brother is not bad. Yuwen Wen had no time to tell the "brotherhood" and quickly briefly told the whole story: he avoided the assassination in the military camp. He knew that his brother who was attending a banquet in the palace was also in danger, so he led his troops into the city to attack the palace and was led by someone halfway through the tunnel to sneak into the palace.

When he rushed into Zhulin Hall, he did not see his brother's whereabouts. Wang Xiaoyan, the king of Anping, intended to hold Xiao Kui to escape and was blocked by Xiao Yan. The mastermind behind the scenes Liu Zhuang, the minister of the Honglu Temple, escaped from the palace when he saw that the matter was unsuccessful. Zhulin Hall was now controlled by his subordinates and Emperor Xiao Kui of Liang was safe and sound.

"Emperor Liang had no idea. King Anping launched a mutiny and was left behind by the Yellow Bird in Liuzhuang?" Yu Wenming was stunned when he heard this. The question that had been puzzled and now has an answer: King Anping Xiao Yan intends to drive out the Anzhou army and let Liang make profits between all parties, but was used by the "pro-Yang Sect" of Liuzhuang.

"The good guy hired by King Anping was originally buried in Liuzhuang and saw that something was wrong. He rushed to threaten Emperor Liang to flee. King Anping took action to stop the murder." Yuwen Wen roughly talked about the ending of King Anping Xiao Yan.

After hearing this, Yu Wenming pondered for a moment and made a decision: Since Emperor Liang Xiao Kui was not the mastermind behind this mutiny, he would have more room for a return. The most urgent task is to control the palace and Jiangling City to avoid any more troubles from the rest of the party. As long as the gates of Jiangling City are controlled until tomorrow, they can catch the turtle in the jar.

"What does Erlang mean?" He had a rough solution in his mind, but he still wanted to hear his brother's opinion. Yuwen Wen only said that everything was decided by his brother, but if he wanted to continue to maintain "neighborly and friendly" with Liang State, he still had to give the face he should give.

"Erlang is talking about King Anping?" Yu Wenming thought about something.

"Please take a long-term plan."

......

In the east of Jiangling City, several masked men were lying on the roof of a house, looking at a small courtyard not far ahead. There were many soldiers leaning against the corner of the wall, but sitting quietly on the ground.

There were many soldiers sitting like this in the dark shadows outside the courtyard. If ordinary people had not passed by nearby people, they would not have noticed that there were people in the dark shadows.

"These soldiers are interesting." A masked man whispered, the others were silent and kept looking around to guard against someone who found their traces.

"I waited on the street for a long time but didn't see you again. I never thought that Yuwen Wen had actually entered this small yard. Could it be that there is some authentic tunnel to lead to the palace?" Another masked man murmured to himself, as if he was the leader of this group of people.

"Boss, what should I do now?"

"Retreat. If that guy is allowed to enter the palace, I'm afraid that Liu Honglu will have a bad thing. Let's meet as agreed in advance."

"Meow~~~" A masked man suddenly learned to meow. As soon as there was something happening in the small courtyard in the distance, he calmed down after hearing the sound.

"These soldiers are interesting." The masked man looked back before leaving. They walked quietly and quickly between the roofs of various houses as light and flexible as cats. After a moment, they disappeared into the night.

However, Jiangling City was not calm, and the West City began to become noisy and crowded. Many torches lit up and merged into fire dragons to travel from Xicheng to the main streets of the city. It was the dispatch of Anzhou troops stationed in Xicheng. It was also a response to the chaos in the palace.

"Don't go out in Jiangling! We are soldiers from Anzhou soldiers who are ordered to capture the rebels. Those who walk on the street will kill them!"

Similar shouts were coming and going everywhere in the city. Teams of soldiers patrolled with weapons and lighted torches. The doors and windows of every household were closed and even none of the watchdogs who barked wildly at night dared to make a sound.

From time to time, there were fighting sounds somewhere, but they were soon drowned by the sound of horse hooves. The cavalry of the Anzhou Army rushed forward on the street and ran over all the non-our-side personnel directly.

Jiangling, sleepless tonight.

......

In the palace, in the cave of the small hill beside Linshuizhai, several soldiers were looking vigilantly at the entrance of the cave without letting go of any movement. There was an open area inside the cave. Miss Xiao sat on a large stone covered with a cloth dress in a daze.

Zhang Yu sat on the side in fear and looked at her from time to time. Seeing that the other party was silent since he came in and his eyes were unconscious, he was afraid that he would not think too much and be willing to die. The Lord Yuwen Wen repeatedly told him to take good care of Miss Xiao, so no accidents would happen.

"Girl relax, so I won't have any trouble." Zhang Yu didn't say things to please. He usually contacted fighters, one or two who were very rough-hearted, and his eyes turned red like the one in front of him said something wrong.

Miss Xiao just nodded and continued to remain silent when she heard this. This scene had been repeated several times and even Zhang Yu felt it was boring. He racked his brains and couldn't think of any topic that would make the other party happy.

'It would be great if it was here.' Zhang Yu, who was sitting on pins and needles, thought so. Yuwen Shiwu had been smooth-mouthed all day long. If he talked about his skills, he would probably only be able to overpower him. Sometimes the mistress and the side wife in the mansion were unhappy and the servants didn't dare to say anything, but Yuwen Shiwu dared to respond and resolve the embarrassing scenes.

But Zhang Yu was not envious because Yuwen Shiwu was good at talking or so, so this time the man's master deserved it to rush him back to Anlu to deliver a letter. He wanted to face the mistress and the wife of the side to explain some of the "interesting stories" of the man's master in Jiangling. Zhang Yu dared not think about it.

"The army commander." A vague sound of talking from the entrance of the cave. Then several figures came from the steps. Zhang Yu looked closely and saw that it was the leader Yuwen Wen.

"General. Aye... What's wrong with Aye?" Miss Xiao stood up and asked as if she had seen a savior. When Yuwen Wen said that Ling Zun was not in trouble, she almost cried with joy.

"There are rebels who attempt to take advantage of the official banquet to invite the envoy. Fortunately, loyal and righteous people strive to protect them. Now the rebels have surrendered their enemies and are fine in the palace."

Yuwen Wen said to everyone present. Everyone was relieved to hear this.

They were guarding the exit of the tunnel in this cave and listening to the movements outside and unable to support them. They were really restless. They were not afraid of the army's faults, but they hated that they had no chance to kill the enemy. However, now the thief in the palace has surrendered and it has not been in vain for a night of trouble.

Zheng Tong followed Yuwen Wen to glance at the two of them and then coughed dryly, saying that there were too many people here and he went out to get some breath first. Seeing him walking out of the cave, he came back to his senses and followed him out with a stubborn dumb chicken standing in place and was pulled away by someone.

Yuwen Wen saw that all the things that were in the way had disappeared, and he coughed and asked, "Your Highness, your princess, wait for a while and the foreign ministers will escort your highness back to the palace."

"Return to the palace?" Miss Xiao was stunned when she heard this. She felt that she had just entered the palace and recognized Aye for a few days, and she became more and more confused. She decided that she was "ominous". This time Aye was fine, but I don't know when something would happen again.

Besides, not only Aye, but also something happened to his younger brother Thirteen Officials. Ah Mother had nothing to do before, but it was possible that something would happen in the future. She had just "defeated" her uncle who had raised her for more than ten years now obviously wanted to "defeat both parents" again, and she was already in tears.

"I...I can't go back..." She murmured to herself, her eyes began to turn red again. After a moment, she looked up at Yuwen Wen and said with a pleading look: "General... General, please take me out of the palace..."

"Okay... Think about it, why did the parents whom the girl finally saw were separated in the palace?" Yuwen Wen blurted out the word "good" and still covered it up. He had "thoughts" about Miss Xiao, so he would never slap the swollen face and make him fat again, but when he saw the other party's disappointed eyes, he still put away his thoughts.

‘I have no desire to live for life. Is this... Is it necessary to find a short-sighted view again?’ He felt a little heavy in his heart. Looking at Miss Xiao, he looked like a poor woman who was about to shave off three thousand worries from a nunnery and became a monk. In theory, he should be given to his parents for comfort at this time, but the other party’s current situation is probably going to "swear to never obey".

Thinking of her always saying that she would die and who would die, who would probably have a knot in her heart. If this knot is not removed for a day, it would be unstable for a day. Because a person who wants to die cannot be saved, Yuwen Wen thought for a moment and thought about it, he became wise: "Since that's the case, the foreign minister dared to take His Highness out of the palace first, and in a few days, he would go to a temple to burn incense and ask the Buddha to bless his parents with peace."

"Found incense..." Miss Xiao's eyes at least recovered and nodded silently. Seeing that her mood stabilized, Yuwen Wen attracted Zhang Yu to dress up and take Miss Xiao out of the palace. The dark, humid and frustrated person was not suitable for this unstable Miss Xiao who was in a state of distractedness. If she was suppressed and mentally in a state of confusion, it would be too late to regret it.

"Thank you, General." Miss Xiao bowed. Yuwen Wen said that it was not convenient for the army to arrange accommodation for women, but he rented a yard at the east gate of the city for a couple to live there. He stayed there for a few days without worrying if someone took care of him.

"Doesn't you know which temple in Jiangling City is effective?" He tried to talk about a new topic, but Yuwen Wen of Jiangling only knew that there was a dilapidated Loba Temple and other Buddhist sites, and his eyes were dark.
