Chapter 3 Incidents
"What's the matter?" Ai Ming woke up in shock and saw red light outside through the window paper, and the noise was full of people. It was not good, and it was on fire.
"Qiuju, get up quickly." Ai Ming turned over and got out of bed and pushed Dongmei who was accompanying him in front of his bed.
"Master, what's the matter? I'm sleepy." Dongmei reluctantly stretched out her arm from the quilt, stretched her waist, and yawned. These days have made her so tired. During the day, she took turns to train with her sisters by Lan Ruo, and she had to do things and was harassed by Ai Ming. Life was so miserable. She didn't care that Ai Ming was called the wrong name. Anyway, he always called whoever he wanted.
"Get up quickly, it's on fire outside." Ai Ming pulled Dongmei up anxiously. Dongmei looked at the master churning things everywhere. After a while, she realized it. She asked strangely: "It's on fire? Where is it on fire."
Ai Ming was so angry and funny. Why didn't this girl wake up yet? At this moment, the door was kicked open by someone, "Master, something is wrong, the Yasi Empire is here." The person who kicked the door was soldier armor.
What? The Yasi Empire has entered? It won’t be so fast, right? Ai Mingyi is dazed.
"Ah..." Dongmei screamed, quickly retracted the quilt, covering her head. She was only wearing a small shirt. It doesn't matter if Ai Ming was, anyway, he would be his person sooner or later, but he could not be seen by others.
Ai Ming and the soldier were both startled by Dongmei, and looked at the quilt that was erected by Dongmei, and could not speak.
"What a panic? You go out and call everyone, take everyone with you, wait for the big vestibule, go quickly." Ai Ming said to the soldier. He would rather believe that he has than not. Being prepared is better than not.
"Yes, I'll go here." The soldier was so panicked that he even forgot to respect the favors, and turned around and went out to greet the people.
"Old Jia is gone?" Dongmei quietly showed her eyes from the quilt and looked out.
"Go away."
"Oh." Dongmei sat upright and patted her chest, "I was so scared that I was almost seen by him." She turned her head to look at Ai Ming who was inexplicably bleed, and suddenly she blushed and stuck out her tongue.
"Okay, pack up quickly. Didn't you hear the Yasi Empire call us?" Although Ai Ming didn't believe the news, he thought it would be very useful to use it to scare the little girl.
"Impossible Master, the border of the Yasi Empire is 108,000 miles away from here, and there are city guards along the way. How could it be that there is no news? Don't worry, Master." Dongmei woke up completely and yawned a big yawn. She was not the little maid who only knew about the romantic and romantic before. Since she followed this confused master, she had to worry about everything. Even national affairs sometimes had to give the master's staff. She naturally didn't believe Ai Ming's words.
At this time, Lan Ruo also came out of the gold buttons and looked at Ai Ming with amusement. This guy is now panicking, and he looks like a cultivator. "I don't think so. If the Yasi Empire invades, the movement should be greater than this."
"No matter what, you get up first." Ai Ming said. As he was speaking, all the other three girls rushed in, all of whom were disheveled and their hair was not dressed, which feasted Ai Ming, who had settled down, feasted his eyes. At this time, Dongmei also saw something was wrong and quickly got up and put on her clothes. Ai Ming also put on her clothes with the help of the four sisters.
"How is the situation?" Ai Ming and others walked to the vestibule and saw the maid and chef in the mansion standing there with a rolling pin and a pounding stick.
"I don't know, it's a mess outside, it seems that something big happened. I heard the sound of an army marching just now." Qingye, who was afraid of death, was standing at the end of the crowd. When he heard the master's question, he turned around and shook his head and said.
Ai Ming didn't reply, listened to the movement outside. After listening for a while, he couldn't hear anything. He had to ask his servant to bring him a chair and sit down, take out the Hanyu bottle and the Fentian Seal to measure safety. Looking at the mobs in front of him, he shook his head and sighed. If he had known it, he should have given them some military training. It would be better to buy some swords and put them in the house for later use, so as now, a few people were holding decent weapons in their hands, and the guys in the hands of others were probably even able to kill a chicken.
Waiting is the most painful. Everyone was waiting in silence. Every time a little movement was heard, people were extremely nervous. In this way, people ushered in the morning. At this time, the messy sounds on the street were much less, and only the sound of soldiers' footsteps and weapons colliding were heard.
"Old Jia, go out and have a look." Ai Ming said at this time.
What? Soldier Ar couldn't believe his ears and wanted to go out and see it by himself? He could go out and could come back? Looking back at Ai Ming, he saw Ai Ming sitting there with an expressionless face, staring at him. Grandma, it seemed that it would be impossible not to go out. Soldier Ar gritted his teeth, weighed the single knife in his hand, walked to the gate of the yard with his head raised, and hesitated for a moment, then carefully opened a small gap and looked out.
"Bang." As soon as the gate was opened, the soldier's head that had just poked out quickly shrank back, and he leaned against the yard gate, his face was pale and he was panting heavily. Everyone's nerves suddenly became nervous, and all the weapons in his hands were raised.
"How is it?" Ai Ming stood up and asked impatiently.
The soldier took a few breaths, calmed down, and said awkwardly: "I didn't see clearly, I'll take a look."
As soon as these words were said, several people couldn't help but curse. Soldier Ar scratched his head embarrassedly. He looked at Ai Ming's very ugly face and smiled awkwardly. He turned around and prepared to visit him again.
At this moment, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly shot and everyone's hearts were raised to their throats. The soldier armor was even more frightened and took a few steps back, and asked in a trembling voice: "Who?"
"We are the Shenji Camp arrest brigade. Open the door quickly. We are going to go in and search." Someone outside the door responded.
The arrest brigade of Shenji Camp? I am my own, so I feel relieved. "Open the door quickly." Ai Ming said loudly. It seems that things are really big. Even the arrest brigade of Shenji Camp has come out to conduct a search. What happened? You know, this kind of work is generally not suitable for them.
Soldier Armor wiped his head with cold sweat and opened the door with a knife in a war. Don't blame the Soldier Armor for being timid. Although he had been in the battlefield with blood, he had been pampering in the capital for more than a year and had long lost his murderous aura. He used to be just a bad life, but now he has a little wealth, so he will naturally cherish his life.
When he opened the door, he saw that the group of people standing outside were wearing the costumes of the Shenji Camp arrest brigade. The soldier armor then felt relieved, looked around carefully, and asked, "What happened? You still have to work hard to come out."
The leader of the group was a team leader of the arrest brigade. Seeing that the soldier armor was holding a knife in his hand, he quickly took a look and said, "Put down the weapon, otherwise he would kill him." The soldier armor quickly threw the knife in his hand to the ground. The team leader was not at ease and ordered the two people to hold down the soldier armor and search, and he felt relieved when he knew that he had no weapons hidden.
"Okay, no matter how I say I am also a lieutenant, okay, can I give you some face? It's ugly. What happened?" The soldier armor, who was pressed to the ground by the soldiers, almost couldn't even keep his underwear.
Hearing the Soldier Armor's question, the team leader impatiently stepped over the Soldier Armor's body, directed the soldiers to march into the yard, and said, "This is not what you should ask, get out of here."
"Everyone gathers in the vestibule. If you don't obey the order and walk without authorization, you will be punished for treason. Have you heard that? Hurry up?" The captain who entered the yard said proudly. This family looks very rich, haha, you have made a fortune.
"Second Lieutenant, what happened?" Ai Ming pushed everyone away and came to the front. The team leader was so majestic. He dared to come here to act wildly. Don't he want to live anymore.
The captain was startled when he saw Ai Ming and regretted why he broke in without seeing the place clearly. He had seen Ai Ming for several times and naturally knew Ai Ming's status. "I met the deacon, and the youngest one was Mu Yang, the captain of the fifth team of the anti-smuggling brigade of Shenji Camp."
"What happened?" Ai Ming asked impatiently when he saw the captain surrender.
The team leader hurried forward and whispered: "As soon as I know, assassins appeared in the palace, and several ministers were also assassinated. It was because of this that the young people searched from house to house. I hope you forgive me."
"What?" Ai Ming screamed in silence, "Is Your Majesty the Emperor okay?"
The team leader quickly shook his hand, signaled Ai Ming to whisper, shook his head, and said, "I don't know. There has not been any exact news in the palace, so I dare not say anything. I only know that a few ministers were killed by assassins, and now the entire capital is in chaos, and rumors are flying everywhere."
Ai Ming frowned and thought, who was so bold to assassinate the palace, and also assassinated several ministers at the same time, it seemed that they were quite good. "You go in and check it, you have to be careful, but don't mess up the things, do you know?" It's okay to check it, it makes people feel relieved and shows that you have no ghosts.
The team leader looked at Ai Ming in embarrassment. How dare he search here? If Ai Ming is unhappy, it would be a piece of cake to clean up himself. "It's okay, go in and search." Ai Ming said, taking out a hundred taels of silver notes from his sleeve and handing them over quietly, "But there are family members in my mansion, don't scare them, do you know?"
The team leader smiled and took the silver notes handed over by Ai Ming, bowed and said, "Please rest assured, the younger ones will pay attention." After that, he waved his hand and asked the soldiers to go in and search, and at the same time warned the soldiers not to go through the inspection everywhere. After a while, the soldiers searched them hastily and let it go.
Seeing the soldiers off, Ai Ming ordered the gate of the courtyard to be closed, and returned to the house to sit down, frowned and thought. "Master, let the young man go out and inquire." The soldier came over and said. When he saw that the army of the Yasi Empire was not fighting, his courage also recovered.
Ai Ming waved his hand and shook his head. The soldier went out to seek death. Now the soldiers outside are in chaos, and they may cause trouble if they are not careful. "Qingye, go to Shenji Camp to inquire about the news. Whenever there is news, you will repay it immediately."
Qingye bowed and agreed, and went back to pack up and went to Shenji Camp.
Ai Ming sat there for a while, but was still worried, so he had to let his family look forward to the door. He took his soldiers' armor and headed towards the palace in a carriage.
As soon as he arrived at the palace, he saw that there were already ministers waiting anxiously at the entrance of the palace. They also came to inquire about the news. Ai took his name and hurriedly walked to an acquaintance official to ask for the news. But the official also asked no questions. He only said that it was someone from the palace, saying that His Majesty the Emperor was frightened and was cultivating now. In addition, the three princes and several first-rank ministers have all entered and have not come out yet.
Ai Ming had no choice but to wait patiently. It was almost noon before an eunuch came out of the palace and said that the emperor was fine and asked everyone to go back to guard their posts and not panic. Ai Ming had to fight with everyone to go home.
As soon as he returned home, Qingye also came back. Ai Ming quickly grabbed Qingye and asked if he had any information.
Qing Ye shook his head and said, "Master, the palace is now blocked very strictly. I only know that His Majesty the Emperor was frightened and was cultivating. However, I heard that many guards in the inner palace seemed to have died. There were four or five ministers who were assassinated, all of whom were in power, but only two died, namely the Minister of Jili and the Grand Secretary of Shulu. What are the situations? Master, what do you think?"
What can I do? Cold salmon. After waving Qingye, Ai Ming returned to the bedroom. Since he couldn't do anything now, he was busy all night and had a good sleep. The sky fell and there was a tall roof, so you don't have to worry about it yourself.
In the next few days, the capital was filled with wind and wind, and there were soldiers. From time to time, you could hear an official who was confiscated and beheaded because he was suspected of being involved in the assassination incident. The thieves and gangsters on the street were even more unlucky and were cleaned up by the city guards. There was no idea how many people were going to be chopped on the execution platform of Caishikou every day, but the blood that flowed out dyed the entire execution platform red.
Ai Ming sat at home every day, dying in a nervous manner. Now no one knows when the disaster will come to him. The officers and soldiers on the streets are like wolves and tigers. Whenever they see people who don’t like, they will ask them. If something is wrong, they will be arrested, which will cause the entire capital to close down and there are few people.
On that day, Qingye hurriedly came back from outside, walked to Ai Ming in panic and said, "Master, something is wrong, our army is defeated and lost the entire Yuema Plain."
Ai Ming was shocked and hurriedly asked Qingye to say it carefully. After Qingye took a breath, he told the story. It turned out that after the assassination incident in the capital, the Yasi Empire launched a general attack on the Yuema Plain. Because the incident also reached the front line, the army was panicked and caught by the Yasi Empire off guard. Because of the ineffective dispatch, the Tufang Empire's army was defeated and retreated to Qiling Pass before barely gathering the troops. This raid, not only did the Yuema Plain be lost, but the four major legions fighting on the front line suffered heavy losses, and the White Tiger Legion was completely dispersed; the Qinglong Legion suffered minor losses, but the ten stops were also sent to the second stop; the Xuanwu Legion was fine, barely retained its organization; the worst was that the Hummer Legion was wiped out.
This time, Tufang Empire was even worse. Ai Ming stood up and walked back and forth. It seemed that the time for assassination of the emperor had a lot to do with the Yasi Empire, otherwise it would not be so coincidental. He did not care about the war, and even if all the four legions were destroyed, it was not his business. However, the loss of the Yuema Plain was equivalent to the loss of the defense barrier of the Tufang Empire. In the future, the Yasi Empire would fight as much as he wanted. In this way, he would not have a good life in the future. No matter how much Tufang Empire said, he had been there for a long time and had some feelings, so he naturally did not want this country to be destroyed. What troubles him the most was that he, the deacon of Kushi, was a combatant. If he really pursued it, his fortune would be unsecured. I don’t know if Fairy Xue Lan had something to do, by the way, there were Feng Xiaoyu and others.
"Master, Miss Mo sent Butler Xie to come and invite you to come to the mansion, saying that there is something to discuss." Soldier Ar walked in and said to Ai Ming.
Ai Ming nodded, Mo Chouyue looked for him, and it seemed that he had heard the news, but he had no idea now, and he could listen to her suggestions. He ordered him to prepare a carriage. Ai Ming hurriedly followed Butler Xie to Hanlanju.
"Brother is here, sit down." Mo Chouyue stood up when she saw Ai Ming.
"Is there anything wrong with Sister Mo calling me over? Have you heard the news of our army's defeat in the plain?" Ai Ming sat down and asked impatiently.
Mo Chouyue nodded, sat down, and after supporting the wintersweet, he said, "Brother, you may not be able to stay in the Tufang Empire anymore. You have to make plans early."
Ai Ming was surprised. No, I thought, although he was considered a combatant, he was just a logistics officer. No matter how much he was punished, he would be a relegation and salary. How could he not even stay in the Tufang Empire? "Sister Mo, what's going on?"
"Brother, do you know that the emperor is almost out of reach?" Mo Chouyue threw out a bomb.
"What, no, right?" Ai Ming was shocked again. Didn't the emperor just be scared and was fine anymore? How could it not work?
Mo Chouyue shook her head and said, "That day, the assassination in the palace was full of assassins, and there were many martial arts. The inner palace was in chaos, and countless casualties were killed and injured. Even the masters in the worship hall were killed and injured. Although the emperor was not injured, he was weak and sick, and was frightened. He immediately fell into a coma. Until now. Later, the three princes and ministers said that the emperor was fine for the sake of peace of mind. According to the imperial physician's instructions, the emperor could last for two or three months at most, and he would definitely die in two or three months."
Oh, is the emperor almost dead? What does that matter to me? "But even if the emperor dies, I don't need to run away. It's not me who assassinated him." Ai Ming said aggrievedly.
"Do you know that the guard camp in the capital city, the Imperial Army and the Secretary of the Si Yan are both people of the third prince, the prince of Haihun, Wang Shixiu. These ****s have taken over most of the forces in the court while the chaos in the capital. As long as those who oppose him are under house arrest, he is now in power. As long as the emperor dies, he will definitely ascend the throne. And you are too close to the eldest prince, so you must be careful of him settle the accounts in the autumn."
Ai Ming said anxiously for no reason: "When did I get close to the eldest prince? Isn't this wronged me?"
"Don't you know how the rumors in the market are? People from the old princes say you everywhere in the past few months. Isn't this obviously raising your power for you? People will naturally regard you as the eldest prince. Although it's nothing even if you are the eldest prince, as long as you express your respect to the third prince, he will not do anything to you, but you are the deacon of the Shenjiying Kushi. I recently learned that your secretary is the third prince's person. The deacon's position was originally supposed to be the one he deserved, but you snatched him away. How can he not hold a grudge? Just a few words of slander will kill you, so you had to leave."
"No, as far as I know, Marquis Haihun is a drunkard, how could he have such a great power?"
Mo Chouyue shook her head and sighed, "Yes, no one expected this to be misleading. She didn't expect that he would hide so deeply and pretend to be so similar. She didn't expect that so many people were his subordinates. Because the matter was suddenly, the eldest prince and the second prince were all wary of it. They only knew that they had fought each other, which gave the third prince a chance."
Ai Ming was speechless. It seemed that it was really like what Mo Chouyue said. It was time to make plans. He became the eldest prince for no reason, and this skill was a mistake. He was not so stupid that he thought that the eldest prince and the third prince were brothers of the same father and mother, and would amplify the prince. You know, this kind of fight was either you die or I lived, and there was no discussion at all. If the eldest prince had the power, if the third prince was at peace, he might have let the third prince go, but if the third prince was in power, the eldest prince really had no way to survive. Who told him to look down on the third prince?
"What about you, are you going to leave too?" Ai Ming put aside his own affairs and asked Mo Chouyue. Anyway, he was too cautious, so just leave. What's so great about it? At worst, it's time to start over.
"You also know that my father is a stubborn man and his mind is full of loyalty and patriotism. If he doesn't leave, how can I leave? Besides, we are neutral forces. No matter who gets power, we have to fight for us. So from the momentum, we are not in danger yet. Don't worry, once things change, I will consider forcing my father to leave." Mo Chouyue said.
"Then I'll be relieved. I'll go back and prepare now." Ai Ming stood up. He was very anxious now. Who knew when the third prince was nervous? He suddenly thought of him as a little person, so it would be troublesome.
"Don't worry, I guess the third prince can't take care of you in the past two months, so you have a month to prepare, but once you get off today, you can't contact me anymore, be careful." Mo Chouyue also stood up.
What? You can't contact you again in the future? That's not good. The game of Frank Yun Fuyu is too big. If you meet, you don't know that you will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month. This is not OK. Ai Ming was anxious. "Sister Mo, how can I contact you in the future? I don't want to lose your friend."
Mo Chouyue hesitated for a moment, took the paper and pen on the table to write a few words, and handed it to Ai Ming. "This is my phone number in the real world, you hold it."
So lucky? Can you get the real number of Mo Chouyue? Ai Ming was ecstatic. Doesn’t this mean that you can contact Sister Mo in the real world in the future? You may also meet again and then...hehe.
Ai Ming just stretched out his hand, but Mo Chouyue took the note back and stared at Ai Ming and said, "Remember, don't tell others the phone number you gave you. Also, you can only type this number if something cannot be solved, otherwise I will cancel this number, do you know?"
Ai Ming was flattered and Mo Chouyue's phone number naturally he would not tell anyone else, but he could only call it when things could not be solved. He was unwilling to do so. His marriage had not been resolved yet, does this count? Ai Ming thought. But he didn't dare to say this, so he nodded and took the note. It doesn't matter, only the number is in hand, and there will be opportunities in the future.
"Sister Mo." At this time, a woman's voice came from outside the door. The two of them were surprised. When they turned around, they saw that it was Princess Lingyu who was pushing the door, followed by wintersweet.
"Hey, are you here too?" Ling Yu discovered Ai Ming.
Ai Ming hurriedly stood up and saluted, saying, "Sir, please see the princess." The one he feared most now was Ling Yu. This girl caused him miserable enough. At this time, he saw that Ling Yu looked haggard and had lost weight. It seemed that these ****s were very difficult. He couldn't help but be happy and secretly scolded him for deserved it.
"Hmph." Ling Yu snorted with a nose, saying hello, ignoring Ai Ming, and said to Mo Chouyue: "Sister Mo, what are you doing?"
Mo Chouyue glared at the winter plum that followed Ling Yu. Ling Yu broke in without reporting, so it was naturally because of the trick. Winmei stuck out her tongue and made a face. She was not afraid of the lady. The lady was the gentlest and loved her the most.
"Ling Yu, why are you here? Something happened, right?" Mo Chouyue asked.
"What can happen? It's not the same as before." Ling Yu was discouraged, walked to the table and sat down, climbed on the table with his hands on his chin. Only then did he remember that there was an outsider Ai Ming in the room, so he quickly sat upright.
Mo Chouyue loves to pat Lingyu, this girl is innocent and cute. These days, her three brothers fight each other, completely ignoring the emperor's life and death. She naturally feels uncomfortable when she is stuck in the middle. She can hold on until now and not climb down. It is quite strong enough. "Since it's okay, let's stay at my sister's house today, and I'll teach you embroidery."
Ling Yu's face became even more bitter, right? Embroidery? It's so difficult. When she turned around, she saw Ai Ming standing there and laughing secretly. Now she found the punching bag and asked loudly: "Why are you laughing? Do you want to believe me, you look good anymore." Ai Ming quickly lowered his head.
When Ai Ming saw Ling Yu coming, he quickly said goodbye. He didn't want to stay with this little devil for an extra minute. Mo Chouyue kept sending him to the gate of the yard before returning. She was a little reluctant to let Ai Ming go. After all, there were not many players here and she didn't even have any truth. Ai Ming was very good at making jokes, so she naturally couldn't let him go.
Chapter completed!
