The palace lanterns hanging under the eaves of Yongxin Palace swayed and flew up and down in the wind and rain. The golden tassels on the lanterns were tangled and tangled, and the dark red light was uncertain in the glazed lampshade, as if that bright point would fly away with the wind.

After listening to Han Sa's words, Xia Chu knew that the situation was serious, so he hurried to Yongxin Palace without saying a word.

Seeing her figure appear outside the hall, Xiao Zimu tried his best to let out a smile: "You're here."

Xia Chu saw that the smile was bitter, and said inside: "Don't force a smile, when the current situation is on the road, I have already heard Han Sa say it."

Xiao Mubai has regained the calmness and calmness of the past, and his face is still cold and resolute. He said in a deep voice: "She gave us the palace, and then surrounded the palace to hunt and kill. The father thought that he was a good chess player, and he could borrow it. The opportunity to identify how many people are available in the court, but I did not expect Concubine Li to do the same, and took the opportunity to remove all the buried nails around me."

"We thought that the realism of the play made her relax her vigilance. Taking advantage of her complacent and secretly collecting so much evidence, she could only tie her hands to death in order to make her defenseless. Never thought that she would not bother to argue at all. , the last move is gradually coming out, and there are so many hands buried." Xia Chu walked to the table, tapped lightly on the table with his right index finger, and said, "We still underestimate it after all, this lady."

Concubine Li knew that she couldn't stay in the palace, so she decided to withdraw from Yufu Palace. She judged that Xiao Mubai would break into the palace.

Therefore, Lian Yan will be able to shoot the arrow.

The moment they saw Lingmen, they all thought that the arrow was used to summon Lingmen.

At the moment, in addition to the mausoleum gate, there are garrison troops from all over the place.

Like those cities close to Chang'an, if the starry night is on the way, I am afraid that it will be possible to arrive in less than two days.

At that time, the troops will be attacked together, and the palace will be in jeopardy.

Right now, this palace is full of civil and military officials loyal to Xiao. Although these people are powerful, they have no soldiers and no achievements in their hands. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Today, they live in the palace, such as Concubine Qi, Concubine Lian, Taifu Wu, and Prime Minister Ju, but these have become weak spots.

Even though Xia Chu Qinggong was like a wing, those people who Concubine Li deliberately stayed in the palace were like the shackles on Xia Chu's wings, preventing her from flying freely.

If the army surrounded the palace, even though it would not be able to surround Xia Chu, who was able to walk without a trace of snow, and Xiao Mubai, a master of swordsmanship.

But now, they are shouldering the orthodoxy of Xiao State, and the lives and deaths of countless people in the palace, how can Xia Chu and Xiao Mubai escape?

How could they have the heart to escape...

Xiao Mubai remembered Concubine Li's gorgeous face, his eyes flashed, and he raised his eyebrows slightly and said to himself: "This palace, this palace is given to you, how about it?"

Outside the hall, the voice of the seven guards rang out, breaking the silent and heavy atmosphere of the three people in the hall.

The guards separately reported the defense situation in the imperial city at this time, Xiao Zimu frowned and after listening, he issued an order for them to start preparing for the defense of the imperial city and prepare a set of utensils.

Right now, everyone clearly knows what kind of terrifying crisis they are about to face.

Xiao Zimu waved his hand to let them go down, turned to Xiao Mubai and said, "In the current situation, if they are delayed for two days, the army will attack and shrink into the palace...it would be equivalent to taking all the terrain outside the palace, It's all handed over to them. Once the rebels are ready to encircle this palace, we won't be able to turn the sky around."

Xia Chu looked at the back of Qimen Weiwei and sighed: "We have too few soldiers in our hands."

Xiao Mubai raised his head abruptly, his phoenix eyes flashing with sharp light: "If I can take back the initiative in Chang'an before the garrison troops in various cities come to help, and force them outside Chang'an, I may be able to hold on for a while longer. "

Xia Chu and Xiao Zimu looked at him in amazement at the same time, this is simply impossible...

"The seven guards still have to guard the palace gate. Now all the troops are blended and divided into nine columns. Just guarding the gate is already extremely difficult. If the second brother wants to bring them all out, he will fight to the death, and there is a 10% chance of winning. No. At that time, the nine gates will be empty, they can drive straight in, there are not many generals in the palace, how should the civil servants and those concubines protect them." Xiao Zimu lowered his eyes and shook his head.

He felt that this move was very inappropriate. All the defense forces in the palace were less than 5,000. Even if they were all taken away, it would be a drop in the bucket.

However, Xia Chu looked at Xiao Mubai fixedly, and asked aloud, "You...are you burying something that I don't know about?"

Xiao Mubai stretched out his hand and lightly flicked her forehead, the corners of his lips pursed into a shallow arc: "Mingsa Garden."

His facial features are tough and steep, and he looks indifferent and indifferent.

Xia Chu only felt that the haze that had been covering the top of the hall was all dissipated in the arc that he sipped.

Xiao Zimu looked at the adoration that bloomed in her eyes and turned to look at Xiao Mubai with a light 'cough': "Isn't Mingsa Garden forced to close down since Ah Chu was exiled?"

Xiao Mubai nodded: "It's closed, but not forced."

Xiao Zimu tilted his head suspiciously, and Xia Chu urged him: "Don't be a fool, there's not much time."

Xiao Mubai glanced at Han Sa, who immediately took a large piece of rice paper and pen and ink.

With just a few strokes, Xiao Mubai outlined the topographic map of Mingsa Garden, which covers an extremely wide area and sits on the mountains in the western suburbs of the capital.

"You said it was a coincidence that the yard that Bingwen bought was Pang Weiguang's mansion. I am very familiar with it..." Xiao Mubai raised his eyes to Xia Chu.

Xia Chu vaguely remembered that when she asked Xiao Mubai about the assassination, he once said that Pang Weiguang seldom returned to the palace because he spent most of his time in the palace.

Therefore, his mansion was bought in the empty western suburbs. Although the mansion is huge, it is also cheap because it is a suburb.

I never thought that after being vacant for all these years, the fleeting time was brought into the hands of Bingwen.

"But, what does this have to do with the current situation?" Xia Chu looked back at him with a puzzled look in his eyes.

"When I went back to Beijing, I asked Han Sa to carry the banner of King Mo's army and bring 20,000 troops back to Beijing, stationed outside the North City Gate." He paused when he said this.

It is not necessary for him to say this, Xiao Zimu and Xia Chu also knew it early in the morning.

But now those soldiers and horses must have been sent by Concubine Li to the Shi family's army to strictly guard them. It is also because of this relationship that after they regained the strength of Dali Temple, Xingbu, Jingzhaoyin and Yushitai, they did not rush to attack the city, but waited for reinforcements to arrive. Steady and steady.

"Of course, these soldiers and horses must have been closely guarded by them long ago and cannot be easily moved." Xiao Mubai immediately said: "But when I sneaked back to Beijing, I brought another 20,000 horses, detoured in batches, and stationed in the Mingsa Garden…”
