    There are many more soldiers and horses galloping on the ground than before, and the atmosphere in the Wei Road is also much more tense. Most of the cities that were once free to enter and exit are closed, and the guards are staring at the city gates vigilantly.

    "When did this happen?"

    In the Jiangling Mansion Yamen, Magistrate Hu was pacing.

    "When did this happen? The rebel Shi Chao has not yet been killed. The remnants of the rebels are running around everywhere. The imperial court has used troops and horses against Wei Dao. Wei Dao has rebelled"

    "Sir, you are wrong." Li Minghua corrected, "It was Yanhaidao who rebelled first, and then the imperial court used troops."

    Magistrate Hu stopped and looked at her: "Miss Minghua, why did Yanhaidao rebel? It wasn't because of the imperial court, no, it was the empress who forced her."

    Li Minghua shook his head: "That's even more wrong. Chang Ji of Yanhai Road committed a murder, and it is reasonable for the court to investigate the crime."

    "You" Magistrate Hu said, then stopped, "I won't argue with you about this. Why is Yanhai Road Changji, and why is the Empress? Everyone knows it well, Miss Minghua, you are not one of those boudoirs.  Miss, you understand very well."

    Li Minghua smiled: "Master Hu, I am still the boudoir lady."

    " Magistrate Hu snorted. He already had deep respect for this little girl who led troops to help her in times of crisis. After getting along with her over the years, she has become like an elder or a relative.

    "I'm warning you." He lowered his voice, "I know that you have a close relationship with that queen, but you have to remember that that woman is different from you, and she is different from other women. You  Stay away from her."

    Li Minghua smiled and said, "Is it because she is like you men?"

    Magistrate Hu stared: "What?"

    Men are wary of women of the same type without realizing it. Li Minghua pursed his lips and smiled and did not continue the topic.

    "Master Hu," she said, "We are not talking about the affairs of the imperial court, nor are we talking about the affairs of the Queen. It is now a matter within our own territory."

    She stood up.

    "The soldiers and horses from the Southeast Road passed through us, refused to be inspected, and even arrested our people. How could I not ask?"

    "It's not our soldiers who are captured, but the Chu army." Magistrate Hu also corrected her with a solemn expression, "Miss Minghua, this is a matter between Southeast Road and the Marquis. We should not interfere."

    Li Minghua was silent for a moment, but still shook his head: "No, what happens in our territory is the Southeast Road's business with us."

    After saying that, step forward.

    "Come here, gather the troops."

    The maids who were standing there followed her, put a cloak on her, and ran out quickly, giving orders one after another.

    The sound of horse hooves outside the Yamen was like a sudden downpour.

    Magistrate Hu stamped his feet, "Minghua!" and chased after him.

    When night falls, densely packed torches light up, surrounding a fort.

    This fortress is located in the valley, solitary and independent, as if one man is blocking the way and no one can open it.

    But at this moment, it is surrounded by countless torches, like a small boat in the sea, which can be overturned at any time.

    "Open the door!"

    "Open the door!"

    The roar was like the waves constantly beating over me. Under the cover of the dark night, it was less ferocious and sounded a little cheerful.

    The locust lay behind the earth and rocks, spitting heavily outside.

    "Boss." A guard crowded beside him and whispered, "They can pass even if we don't open the door. Now they still have to open the door before they can pass. Are all the guards so abiding by the rules?"

    Tu Locust raised his hand and slapped him, knocking his hat off. "Follow the rules. There are rules. Are you stupid? They are besieging us and trying to kill us!"

    Seemingly in response to his words, Hai Hai roared again, "If you don't open the door, we will attack the city."

    The guards looked at the torches around them. They didn¡¯t know how many soldiers and horses there were. They could be engulfed with just one order

    The locust stood up and spat even further.

    The soldiers and horses who lit the torches and stood at attention were leisurely and a little impatient.

    "Sir," a guard said to the general standing under the banner of the Southeast Road Guards, "the governor and others have already passed, why don't we leave? There is no need to waste time on this small checkpoint."

    The general was picking his nails out of boredom and said: "We have been walking all the way, and there is only this small checkpoint where we have to check our driver's box and cage. What does this mean?"

    "Explain, they obey the rules?" the guard guessed.

    The general sneered: "It means they want to die!" He looked ahead, "This is the boundary of Jiangling Prefecture."The scribe, followed by two guards, looked like he had just arrived there not long ago.

    He saluted Li Minghua, then saluted Magistrate Hu, and said with a smile: "Miss Minghua, Master Hu, we meet again."

    Li Minghua and Magistrate Hu used torches to identify him and recognized him as one of Xiang Yun's retainers. One of the retainers that Xiang Yun brought with him when he used the name of Southeast Road to aid Jiangnan Road.

    Magistrate Hu said in surprise: "You are here too."

    Li Minghua was not surprised, and said with a calm expression: "It's just the right time for you to come. When your family escorted our eldest daughter to Taiyuan Mansion, did our family ever have guards from one place to another?"

    Your family is alienated from our family. You are not polite. The marriage of the Qi family and the Xiang family will make the Li family unhappy. The retainer did not take up the topic. He was not here to calm the relationship between the two families. He said straight to the point: "  Miss Minghua, the Governor has something to say to you, please come with me."

    Avoiding the crowd, the retainer personally held a torch to shine. Li Minghua read the letter written by Xiang Yun. His expression went from shocked to nervous to slightly panicked, and he held the letter without speaking for a long time.

    The guest observed the words and took out the token given by the old manager of Jiannan Road: "Miss Minghua, the eldest lady has already set off, and the second master and your father are also going with us."

    Li Minghua raised his head and looked at him: "Uncle Xiang, do you want me to go too?"

    The retainer smiled and said: "The Governor didn't mean that. He just wanted to say hello to the young lady. The Fourth Master probably wanted to tell the young lady about you, but the trip is in a hurry and the young lady considered it a family matter and couldn't bring you along."  "

    Li Mingqi, this girl is still like this, Li Minghua smiled.

    "The Governor is just saying hello to you to let you know what Governor Qi and the others are doing, so as to avoid conflicts." The retainer said, "The Governor said, Miss Minghua is a smart and astute person, and she has a thorough understanding of the world. Regarding  What he said"

    He pointed to the letter in Li Minghua's hand.

    The letter stated very straightforwardly that Han Xu colluded with the queen to murder the late emperor Cui Zheng and the third prince, and blackmailed the empress dowager and the young emperor to steal the country. He had suffered for a long time in defending the country. Now he and Qi Shan were going to use their marriage as an excuse to go to the capital to kill the traitors.  .

    "The governor said that Miss Hua has already been worried about her, so we don't need to say more."

    Li Minghua was silent. The news about the assassination of the late emperor at the Songzhou Night Banquet came. Even as a teenage girl, she did not believe that such a thing existed in the world. The death of the late emperor must be related to the queen.

    But she is only a teenage girl, and she does not dare to say that she has seen through the world. She will not speak or act rashly until she sees clearly.

    "Ms. Minghua, time is tight, so we'll leave first." The doorman said, "I'd like to ask Miss Minghua for a favor."

    Li Minghua looked at him: "What?"

    The retainer pointed to the fort over there: "The Chu army is the army of the Marquis. In order to avoid disturbing the enemy, I would like to ask Miss Minghua for a favor."

    Li Minghua looked at Baozhai and said nothing.

    The doorman said nothing more, handed the torch to Li Minghua, bowed and left, walked a few steps and then turned back.

    "Miss Minghua, although the governor didn't say much, I still want to take the liberty to say a few words." He said, "Now is the time when the world is undergoing great changes. The situation is changing. An insect can become a dragon, and a dragon can become an insect. Miss Minghua, because of the sword,  Now that South Road is here today, Jiannan Road can also be made more powerful because of Miss Minghua."

    After saying that, he strode away and disappeared into the night without waiting for Li Minghua's answer.

    Li Minghua held the torch in one hand and Xiang Yun's letter in the other. He was stunned for a moment, then lit the letter on the torch and flicked his hand, and a ball of fire rose up and turned into ashes.

    "Miss Minghua." Magistrate Hu asked from a distance.

    Li Minghua turned around holding a torch: "Master Hu, let them pass."

    ?¡­

    ?¡­

    The locust made a strange cry, turned around and sprayed the companion next to him with saliva in his face.

    "Haha, they retreated!" He shouted, "These grandsons really don't dare to cause trouble!"

    After shouting, he spat again and called his companions.

    "Come on, catch up! We haven't checked yet, don't even think about passing by us!"

    His companions did not join in the noise as before, and no one responded. Instead, someone pulled him.

    ¡°Boss,¡± the man said, ¡°Some people have retreated, but there are still many people surrounding us.¡±

    Tu Locust was stunned for a moment, looked outside, and cheered: "Those are Miss Minghua's people, one of our own! They are here to protect us."

    Zhou Yan did not speak, but gave a signal to the sentry. A moment later, he heard a sharp sound breaking through the air, followed by a shout.

    "Jiangling Mansion soldiers are here, you are not allowed to move without permission! Otherwise, shoot without mercy!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Discussion!  "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
