The bell of Chou hour rang, and suddenly the Xuanwu Gate burst into flames, and the sound of fighting broke out. This startled Xiao Yu, who had just put on his clothes. Gan Ming hurried over and said out of breath: "My lord, I'm not good.

It's over! There is a large group of soldiers and horses over there at Xuanwu Gate, and the gate has been broken down!"

"Who is it! Meng Yan?!" The first thing Xiao Yu thought of was Meng Yan.

"No! Prince Jincheng has not come out since he returned to Cangshu Mansion. It seems that the soldiers came from the direction of Nangang!"

"Zhong Roulan, you Zhong Sanniang!" Xiao Yu suddenly understood. He always thought that Zhong Roulan could not have the strength to cause trouble in Chencheng, but he forgot that Zhong Roulan was from Dongyang City, and the navy was the

Her foundation, Nangang is the dock where they landed.

Gan Ming looked anxious and asked: "Your Majesty! We must enter in advance. The first move is gone. If we don't take action, it will be too late!"

Xiao Yu did not make a decision in a hurry, but thought about it for a while and tried his best to calm himself down. This was the easiest time to get confused, and chaos would lead to confusion.

"Gan Ming, lead people to take control of the inner city immediately. You must get ahead of Zhong Sanniang. Then Feige sends a letter to Jiujiang to take the initiative. Then you send people to surround Cangshu Mansion. I want to talk to Meng Yan!"

Xiao Yu quickly made a judgment that Zhong Roulan had already taken the lead, and there was no need to confront her head-on. Only by controlling the inner city could he have the capital to negotiate. He took the initiative to catch Zhong Roulan off guard and forced her to negotiate with him. In the end,

The important thing is that Meng Yan is still in the city, and his attitude will be the key factor in this coup.

After Gan Ming left, Xiao Yu hurried out of the palace city and ran towards Cangshu Mansion.

At this moment, Zhong Roulan had already captured the Xuanwu Gate, and Zhong Qian came to report with a serious face, "Princess, it's not good, we encountered very strong resistance in front, and I heard shouts of killing in the inner city!

"

Zhong Roulan was quite happy at first, but Zhong Qian's report made her feel that something was not good. Who could be shouting for death in the inner city? Lu Chongzong? Impossible, most of Lu Chongzong's troops were stationed outside the city during the national mourning period.

In several large camps, only siege and patrol soldiers were retained. Besides, with Lu Chongzong's attitude, it was impossible to take any action against the second sister, so there was only one possibility for the killing call in the inner city. Xiao Yu's people, he

Sure enough, he wanted to rebel and did the same thing as himself.

"Uncle Qian! Don't worry about the resistance from the outside. Attack the inner city immediately. You must protect the second sister!" Zhong Roulan immediately made the right choice, but she felt a little uneasy. Xiao Yu must have done the same thing as herself.

The choice now depends on who can see the second sister first.

Zhong Roulan thought of something again, turned her horse back, and said to Murong Changfeng: "Murong! Follow me to Cangshu Mansion immediately, I want to see my second brother!"

Two groups of people were galloping in the city. They were heading in the same direction, Cangshu Mansion.

Meng Yan in Cangshu Mansion suddenly felt a heart palpitation. The pain was so severe that he almost fell down. Fortunately, An Can supported him. His body had always been healthy. This sudden heart palpitation gave him a bad premonition.

"Your Majesty, look outside!" An Can said in shock, the originally quiet alley suddenly burst into flames.

Sure enough, he still couldn't escape. Seeing the firelight from two directions outside the courtyard wall getting brighter and brighter, Meng Yan knew that he couldn't escape, but he didn't know who came first.

Meng Yan tidied up his clothes and said, "An Can, open the door and see who is coming to visit me so late."

An Can was stunned for a moment. He did not question Meng Yan's order because the facts were already in front of him, and the prince's choice might still have a chance.

Zhong Roulan and Xiao Yu were hostile to each other outside the door. Xiao Yu was the first to speak, "Third sister is in a good mood! It's so late and you still have time to hang out. Don't you know the curfew during the national mourning period?"

"Haha! Brother, shouldn't you be kneeling down at this time? What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood? Are you looking for a drink with your second brother?" Zhong Roulan was not polite, she had reached the point of a sword-fight, and friendship seemed useless at this time.

At this time, the door slowly opened. Meng Yan crossed An Can and stood at the door. He looked at the two of them with a smile and said without surprise: "Eldest brother, third sister? Or prince, princess?"

Hearing Meng Yan's words, the two of them laughed awkwardly. Zhong Roulan said first: "Second brother, I know you like to keep a hand. The matter has been done. I, Zhong Roulan, will not make excuses. Now I need one of yours."

manner."

"Second brother, my younger siblings and girls must have left the city. I won't make it difficult for you. This is the Xiao family, and the Xiao family is the orthodox one. As long as you are still a servant of the Xiao family, I will let you go immediately!" Xiao Yu tightened his grip.

said.

Mentioning Cang Shu Haoyue, Zhong Roulan's heart tightened. The people who followed Zhong Roulan never reported back, and it seemed that it was not going well. Now seeing that there were only Meng Yan and An Can here, Meng Yan immediately understood

All the Bai Zewei escorted Cang Shu Haoyue and others.

Meng Yan looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, and said lazily: "You two, the initiative is in your hands. Do I have a choice?"

"Second brother, to put it bluntly, is it so important who takes the throne? Even if the Xiao family is orthodox, it seems that it won't be King Wu's turn, right?" Zhong Roulan said and turned her eyes to Xiao Yu, since they were at odds with each other.

, why bother being pretentious?

"The master, the young mother, is strong. The exclusive power of relatives in all dynasties will bring pain to the court and the people. The emperor is my relative and my younger brother. I can't do anything to him. Second brother, you have to understand what our ideals are.

We are all trying to pacify the world, can you bear to see the coming unification destroyed here?" Xiao Yu Xiaozhi said with reason and emotion, he hoped Meng Yan would make a wise decision.

"Are you two in such a tense situation because you are discussing your attitude with me? I have a suggestion. How about you and I sit down and talk?" Meng Yan tried his best to stabilize the situation and avoid exchange of fire between the two sides.

Xiao Yu and Zhong Roulan looked at each other. Neither of them wanted to compromise or dismount. Whoever bowed his head first at this time would lose. Seeing this, Meng Yan asked An Can behind him: "An Can, if I were myself

What will you do if you leave?"

An Can grinned and replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty, just leave. If An Can is gone, the brothers of the Western Expedition Army will always get it back for me!"

Meng Yan turned around and said, "Since you two don't want to have a good talk, can you stop me from leaving?" Meng Yan used Jiuchen Gong while saying this. Some weak soldiers could no longer bear the pressure and fell off their horses.

After a stalemate for about a cup of tea, Xiao Yu and Zhong Roulan looked at each other, and then chose to dismount. Meng Yan saw the two dismounting, put away their skills, and said with a smile: "Please come in," and then looked

He walked behind the two of them and then said: "General Gan, please come with us, and General Murong, please don't hide either."

After several people walked in on guard against each other, An Can closed the door. When the three of them saw Cang Shuliang standing in the main hall, they all nodded. Cang Shuliang responded to the three of them with a smile.

The three people did not choose to go to the main hall and sat in the pavilion in the courtyard. The other three people stood outside the pavilion and watched each other very well. On the contrary, the three people in the pavilion acted very relaxed.

Meng Yan looked at the two of them and said coldly: "Do you two have to go to this point? Do you have to destroy Chen Chao who just walked on the road to be happy?"

The two of them didn't speak, they just glared at each other. Meng Yan continued: "My father-in-law told me that the late emperor was protecting me. I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it. The late emperor has seen through you two, but it's just that

The late emperor also trusted you two too much. What are you doing now? You mortued the corpse and attacked each other regardless of wearing armor. How awesome!" Meng Yan said in a mocking tone.

The sentence "The corpses are still in morgue regardless of whether they are fighting each other" directly opened the fig leaf between the two of them. Xiao Yu's face turned red instantly, and he said with anger: "Second brother! Don't talk nonsense, who are you helping with just one sentence?!"

"I won't help anyone!" Meng Yan said coldly, "Both of you know that you can't keep me if I want to leave, but I didn't leave and even sat down to talk to you because I didn't want to do it because of your selfishness.

It will affect the great situation we have finally created."

"Second brother, please tell me your opinion." Zhong Roulan took the lead to calm down. Fighting is impossible, and talking is the main topic.

"Abide by the late emperor's will and ensure the stability of your majesty and empress in the southern border. There must be no civil strife before the Central Plains is pacified, okay?" Meng Yan said briefly.

"No!" The two refused almost at the same time.

"Okay! I'll go out now and prepare for war when I return to Changsha!" Meng Yan's temper also increased.

"Don't be impulsive!" Xiao Yu quickly stopped Meng Yan who was about to run away.

"Sanniang, I won't hide it from you. Jiujiang is already moving. It's still too late to turn around now." Xiao Yu said bluntly. At this point, there is no need to hide anything.

Zhong Roulan smiled and said: "Brother, you may be hitting a wall. I have prepared my defense a long time ago and knew you would do this!"

At this time, a signal was sent out from the palace, and it was Xiao Yu's turn to smile, "Sanniang, so what if you have taken precautions? Your Majesty and your Majesty are now under my control."

"Okay! Let's see you on the battlefield then!" Zhong Roulan was furious.

"Hey, hey, hey! Young man, don't be so impulsive. How about you listen to me?" Cang Shuliang came over at some point.

When the three of them saw this, they quickly stood up and bowed. Cang Shuliang sat down slowly and said, "Since no one wants to step back and listen to what I have to say to you, is it okay?"

The three of them immediately agreed, only to hear Cang Shu smile and say: "The late emperor had expected that this day would come to you, so he decided on the affairs of the four prefectures in the southeast, northwest and northwest early. I strongly opposed it at the time, because this would not count the Central Plains.

The unity is also divided internally, but he convinced me with one sentence. He said, "They are all good children. Xiao Yu is steady, Meng Yan is novel, and Roulan is independent. But they are all children who love the people like sons. The Central Plains unified them."

Both are indispensable. As for who will be more respected by the people in the future, let them all rely on their own abilities.' So I agreed."

After falling into silence for a while, Meng Yan said: "I'm going back. It's time to resolve the matter between Liangchuan and Zhu Mu."

Then Zhong Roulan hesitated and said: "I can obey the late emperor's arrangement, but the condition is that brother, you immediately release the empress and your majesty."

Meng Yan and Zhong Roulan set an example one after another. Xiao Yu was very unwilling, but it was impossible to continue the stalemate at this time. He said coldly: "I am willing. My condition is that Sanniang, you must cut off contact with the Changsun family.

, and from now on, the three of us will never have personal relationships, only business matters!"

"Have we still had a personal relationship since the Northern Expedition?" Meng Yan said unceremoniously.
