Beicheng, Longqianfang, the inner residence of Prince Yong's Mansion, and the Feiyu Pavilion.
Feiyuxuan is one of the three palaces in the back of the palace. It is now occupied by Lin Jingyu. The lights are on in the main hall at the moment.
Frugality is strictly enforced in the palace, and Lin Jingyu doesn't like luxury. Now in order to respond to the princess's call, she simply doesn't even light candles after dark.
But tonight not only are the lights on here, but there are seven or eight lights on in the main hall because Zhao Yanxun came here.
In the side hall of the main hall, Zhao Yanxun and Lin Jingyu sat opposite each other. There was a chessboard in front of them, with many black and white pieces already on it.
Lin Jingyu didn't like to be noisy and didn't communicate much with Zhao Yanxun. Zhao Yanxun took the initiative to come here today.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun was deep in thought. It was enough that he could not play Go better than Lin Jingyu. Even the backgammon given to him, he had lost five games in a row at this moment.
Now on the chessboard, he had lost the first move again and was being led by Lin Jingyu. What was even more embarrassing was that he still took the lead with the black stone.
At this moment, Lin Jingyu put one hand on her chin and looked at Zhao Yanxun with a faint smile, as if she was watching a good show.
No matter where he is blocked, he will always be restrained from leaving at the next moment, so Zhao Yanxun is not in a hurry to make a move at this moment.
"My beloved, you have defeated me several times in a row, and you really don't give me any face at all?" Zhao Yanxun asked with a smile.
"There are winners and losers in a game of chess. If I deliberately give in to each other, wouldn't I be deceiving the prince?"
Zhao Yanxun smiled awkwardly and said: "My dear concubine, well-intentioned deception... is also harmless!"
However, at this moment, Lin Jingyu said seriously: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and he is as heroic as the overlord of Western Chu. I don't think... Your Majesty needs to care about winning or losing on this small chessboard!"
"Even if I beat the prince ten times on this chessboard and get nothing, I can't be like the prince, saving all the people from fire and water, and supporting the building from collapse!"
Lin Jingyu said it very seriously, but Zhao Yanxun was stunned.
It has to be said that although Lin Jingyu is demure and uncontroversial, her style is not like that of Xiaojiabiyu, which surprised Zhao Yanxun.
"The one who knows me is Jingyu!" Zhao Yanxun smiled.
In fact, Zhao Yanxun really doesn't care much about winning or losing, he still has this pattern.
There are three women in the family, Huang Rongrong is fun to be a monster, Xue Baojun is graceful and prudent, but at this moment Zhao Yanxun realizes that it is Lin Jingyu who understands him best.
If Xue Baojun is a virtuous wife and Huang Rongrong is a pistachio, then Lin Jingyu can undoubtedly be a confidant.
But just when Zhao Yanxun wanted to talk to Lin Jingyu for a while, Lin Quan's voice came from outside the hall: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"
Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but frown, it was already late at night, what else could be important.
"What's up?"
"Your Majesty, there is news from the Chief Envoy's Yamen that there are monsters running rampant in Anguang Square!" Lin Quan reported outside.
Are there monsters in Anguangfang? Why are there monsters in the city? Zhao Yanxun felt angry.
"How many monsters are there? Are there other places besides Anguangfang? What measures have been taken by the people in the Chief Envoy's Yamen?"
Zhao Yanxun asked three questions in a row, leaving Lin Quan speechless. He couldn't figure out the information in a short time.
"Your Majesty, time is short and I haven't had time to check yet!" Lin Quan replied in a panic.
"Hurry up and send someone to warn the troops stationed at the city gates to put them on high alert, but stay still. Everything will be handled by the Guards Department!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
Nowadays, ordinary soldiers are left to clean up the zombies in the dark, and the risk is not as high as usual.
Now that all members of the Guard Department have been upgraded, and most of them have been issued bamboo armor, it is more appropriate to use them to deal with zombies.
"Slave, go and deliver the order now!"
"Also, you can send people on horseback to check whether the gates of each workshop are closed. If they are not closed, write down their names to me, and then remind them to close them!"
"As you command!"
Although the city has been unblocked, Zhao Yanxun still requires that after the sun sets, no one can enter or leave at will.
He only hopes that everyone below will implement this request tonight, so that losses can be reduced.
After calling up the system, Zhao Yanxun found that the actual controlled population had decreased by more than fifty people.
The cursed dog system did not even remind him, but Zhao Yanxun had no time to calm down, so he just heard him continue to issue an order: "Huo An, go ask Wang Zong and Liu Enfu to summon the guards!"
"As you command!"
After everything was given, Zhao Yanxun stood up from the soft couch and calmly said to Lin Jingyu: "My dear concubine... I can only take one step first!"
"The matter is urgent. Your Majesty, just go and I will wait for your triumphant return!" Lin Jingyu said with a faint smile, seemingly not panicking at all.
Putting the black pieces in his hand on the chessboard, Zhao Yanxun turned around and left, and Lin Jingyu stood up to see him off.
After sending Zhao Yanxun away, Lin Jingyu returned to the side hall.
But just as she sat on the chair, her personal maid Yun'er came in and said, "My Lady, I have something to say and I don't know whether I should say it or not!"
"Say it!" Lin Jingyu looked at the chessboard in front of her.
"The prince is a prince after all. The so-called king's power is unpredictable. If you don't give in at all, I'm afraid... you will offend the prince one day!"
Only Yun'er, a person with an average confidant, would say these words to Lin Jingyu.
I saw Lin Jingyu holding a white piece in her hand, and it landed on the chessboard with a "pop" sound, five pieces in a row... She won this game again.
"If the prince is as knowledgeable as a woman like me, then I can only say that I misjudged him!" Lin Jingyu didn't care.
…………
Ten minutes later, Zhao Yanxun had already put on a full set of armor as he entered the royal palace.
When it comes to killing zombies at night, he still feels that he should do it himself.
Looking at the system at this moment, the actual controlled population has decreased by five people, which makes Zhao Yanxun feel heartbroken.
Taking the knife from Huo An, Zhao Yanxun walked out of the hall.
When he arrived at the school grounds on horseback, two hundred guards had already assembled, and everyone was in high spirits.
"See you, my lord!"
"No gift!"
After everyone stood up, Zhao Yanxun said: "There are monsters in the city. There are about sixty of them. You are responsible for cleaning them up tonight!"
"Remember, don't act alone, be sure to pay attention to safety!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yanxun began to assign tasks. He asked Wang Zong to lead the team to focus on cleaning up the North City, while Liu Enfu led his people to clean up the rest of the city.
Zombies broke out in Anguangfang, so Beicheng's task was even heavier. Although Liu Enfu had to clean up a large area, it was actually easier than Wang Zong.
After the tasks were assigned, everyone bid farewell to Zhao Yanxun and left the palace directly according to their respective task requirements.
"Xu Yu, Chen Yuhe..."
Although Zhao Yanxun did not summon him, there was such a big commotion in the palace, and these two people still appeared here.
"I'm here, please give me your instructions!" The two of them bowed and saluted.
"The safety of the palace will be left to you. Don't let me down!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never let the palace be in danger!"
