Chapter 384 Chaos in the capital
"We usually don't move during the day, and I'll go in the afternoon."
Xiao Xuan didn't feel tired, because the Maxima's speed was several times faster than other horses, and the horses he brought with him were sufficient, so the first and the road was smooth.
Yin Miao nodded. At this time, the carriage had already started to drive. She couldn't wait to tell Xiao Xuan what she had found out last night.
"Mu Yan..."
Xiao Xuan did not expect that Muyan, whom they had repeatedly investigated, was in the capital.
"In this way, a lot of things make sense. This Shanhaizhai is really the stronghold of the Eclipse Palace."
Yin Miao said excitedly, once things got their way, they would have a direction to start.
"Just wait until I come back and take it."
Xiao Xuan's eyes were full of coolness.
"Yes, but for what reason?"
This is the capital where there is still a royal law, and it is Shanhaizhai protected by the court and a group of bureaucrats.
"Isn't the reason already there?" Xiao Xuan hooked his lips and smiled, and Yin Miao immediately understood what he meant.
"Looks like you're ready too."
Yin Miao said with a smile, the capital, which is already on the right track, is afraid that there will be earth-shaking changes in the next period of time.
…
On the 30th day of the porridge in the palace of Xuanwang, a group of refugees in ragged clothes suddenly appeared in the capital. They were covered in scars and looked haggard. The palace of Xuanwang immediately rushed to the Langzhong of the whole capital to treat these refugees.
And the origin of these refugees also caused a sensation in the entire capital.
They were actually the people of Nanxiao who were rescued from Da'an by King Xuan and General Tang in person!
"What the **** happened? Tens of thousands of people went to Da'an to work as coolies?"
"Hey, I heard that it was forced, not only Da Anguo, but also Beirou's humiliation."
"So it sounds like Da'an Kingdom and Beirou Kingdom have joined forces? Then let's..."
"It's not optimistic. General Ju Tang said that King Xuan directly destroyed the place, and the Da'an army also provocatively said that they would attack my Nanxiao country."
"More than that, those refugees all said that they were tricked by our Nanxiao people, and only after they arrived did they realize that there was no food to eat at all. When they died, they were picked up and eaten by Beirou people!"
"It's absolutely true! I've heard it too, it's still the way the gatekeepers of our capital pointed!"
“…”
Once the public opinion is fermented, it is like a spreading tide, even if the imperial court secretly sends people to stop it, it will not help, and even a large number of people gather together to make trouble in front of Dali Temple after receiving the porridge.
Snapped!
A porcelain cup was slammed to the ground, Peng Bin said angrily: "It really made them full, how dare they doubt the imperial court?!"
"Sir, it's been two days since this matter has subsided, and the Holy One will definitely blame you and me."
An official in green also said worriedly.
"Blame it on you and me? I don't think so. The Holy One should blame the most right now, probably His Royal Highness King Xuan."
Peng Bin squinted at the gloomy sky outside the window. For some reason, he always had a feeling that the mountains and the rain were coming and the wind was filling the building.
"Report!"
A police officer wearing a red tassel ran into the hall, and it was obvious that he was very anxious.
"What's the matter?"
asked the officer in green.
"In response to the words of the two adults, the guards of the city just received the gauntlet, and the gauntlet has now been sent to the palace."
Gauntlet?
"Who declared war on my Nanxiao country?"
Peng Bin asked in a panic.
"Yes... it's Daanguo."
replied the messenger.
"Da'an Kingdom and Nanxiao Kingdom have been friends for generations, it must be because of what happened to King Xuan this time!"
Cao Yingshen, an official in green clothes, said.
"Hurry up, hurry up and meet me in the palace to meet the Holy Master, Nanxiao country has no way to fight now, it must be stopped."
Peng Bin quickly sorted out his top.
Although he has only been in office for a year, he knows the current situation of the Nanxiao country. The treasury is empty and the people are struggling to live. If there is another war, if there is another war, the Nanxiao country will be in jeopardy.
…
The fact that Da'anguo sent the war book spread throughout the capital, which also temporarily suppressed the humiliation of the refugees. Before the people could react from the previous incident, Nanxiao was facing a war.
Even the people who received the porridge could not eat it.
Except for Yin Miao and Xiao Xuan.
"Where is Lumingjian? Is it far from here?"
Yin Miao was looking at a large map spread out in front of her. She saw Xiao Xuan and Tang Jin and other generals chatting for a long time, but she could not understand a single word, only that Da An Guo and Nan Xiao Guo were in Luming. Stream for a stop.
"It's just east of the capital. It takes half a day to walk, but only an hour for carriages and horses."
Xiao Xuan pointed to a spot on the map and said.
"That's pretty close, no wonder the people are so flustered."
Yin Miao could feel the worries of the people around her, and even the jade masters downstairs were a little absent-minded.
The war happens right in front of the door, and if they fail, they become fish.
"I'm worried that the emperor will ask for peace."
Tang Jin sighed. They not only saw the strength of King Xuan in Liangping area, but also realized the incompetence of the current court. Thinking of the court that never acted, he was inexplicably annoyed.
"He won't."
Xiao Xuan lowered his head and said.
"Why is Your Highness so convinced?"
Zeng did not regret asking, he was a tough general in the army and was once a general under King Xuan.
"Guess what, and... he will tell me to go."
Xiao Xuan's slender fingers swiped across the map, a slight smile appeared on his face.
"Replaying the same old tricks as before?"
Yin Miao asked, he wouldn't use the same method again, would he?
"In the beginning?"
Tang Jin was obviously thinking of something. In his opinion, King Xuan was definitely not what he had been rumored to be. However, Xiao Xuan did not mean to argue, and analyzed the current situation with them.
That night, Dali Temple Minister Chang Yuan personally led a group of officials from Dali Temple to search inside and outside Shanhaizhai without warning. Although it was late at night, many people came to watch the fun because of the loud noise.
Shanhaizhai, that is an existence that many people are vying to make friends with, and is tacitly accepted by the imperial court.
"Sir, we found these."
An official took out several wooden boxes, which contained maps of multiple countries, especially the map of Nanxiao, which also marked the armament points and grain camps in various places.
"And these, this is not something of my Nanxiao country."
Even the secretary of Dali Temple was involved. He found many peculiarly carved bottles and jars and some jewelry, which were obviously not from Nanxiao Kingdom.
"Sir, these...are these human skins, we still need to take them back for identification."
A lot of things were found, even several rooms with organs.
"Bring it all back."
Chang Yuan took a closer look, his eyes were already full of turbulent waves, and at the same time, he became more and more determined, he must investigate such matters threatening the security of Nanxiao to get to the bottom of it!
