Minghua Qiushi

Chapter 15 Counterinsurgency (1)

He stayed in prison for more than a month. On this day, someone came to announce that the Emperor of Heaven wanted to summon him.When he arrived at the imperial study room, Ming Xi saw that the prince Xiao Jincheng was also there, and he realized that he couldn't do better today.Seeing him coming in, the Emperor of Heaven said coldly, "Ming Xi, are you guilty?"

"If the crime mentioned by the Emperor of Heaven is the murder of General Lei Ting, then I cannot plead guilty. General Lei Ting attacked Wei Chen while I was recuperating from his injuries. It was an accident that General Lei Ting was swallowed alive by a monster and snake during the fight. I did not murder him. "Ming Xi said.

Xiao Jincheng sneered and said, "It's nonsense! Gou Snake is an ancient monster. Who has seen it? Ming Xi, you don't even make up lies!"

"My words are true, Heavenly Emperor, you can send someone to investigate at the bottom of the cliff!" Ming Xi said.

"Even if there is a hook snake, it must have been summoned by your Lord Yuhua, right? You colluded with the Yaoling clan to murder important officials of the court, what is it if it's not treason?" Xiao Jincheng said viciously.

This Xiao Jincheng has been prepared for a long time, and since the Emperor of Heaven ordered him to be arrested, he must be afraid of himself. Ming Xi remembered what Ling Qiu said about the way of the emperor's check and balance, and he understood it. It would be futile to explain, so he said: " Ming Xi's loyalty to the imperial court can be learned from heaven and earth, now he is under the control of others, if you want to kill him or cut him down, let him be respectful!"

Hearing the words, the Heavenly Emperor finally said: "Ming Xi, I will let you go as long as you hand over your military power in memory of your past achievements. How will you treat it?"

Sure enough, military power was not as important to Mingxi as they thought, so why bother so much, Mingxi hesitated for a moment before handing over the tiger talisman.The prince was very proud to see him handing over the military power, but he was unhappy to see that the Emperor of Heaven had no intention of giving him the tiger talisman.

Ming Xi thought to himself, the Heavenly Emperor would not give military power to the crown prince and let him sit alone.If you don't have the right to be light, you can hand it over.Just as he was thinking, the Emperor of Heaven said: "Send an order to put General Chiyun under house arrest in the General's Mansion, and not to go out without my order!" Sure enough, it was not so easy to let him go.

At night, in the garden of the General's Mansion, Ming Xi drank alone in the gazebo.It has been more than two months since they were placed under house arrest, and during this period they were unable to send out letters. Yun Ting and Qing Luo were also under house arrest.If this continues, the Emperor of Heaven might kill him one day.It's no big deal if I die, but there are so many people in the general's mansion, and there is Xuan Ce, there is really nothing to do now.Ming Xi has never felt such a sense of powerlessness that he can't do anything, he has always been high-spirited.Too many things happened recently made him physically and mentally exhausted, he really wished to go back to Baicao Mountain to accompany Ling Qiu to go up the mountain to collect herbs, if only it could be like this every day, that would be great.I don't know what happened to Ling Qiu, this is the heaven, and the general's mansion has been banned again, so he can't send a message in.Thinking of this, Ming Xi felt depressed, and drank a jar of wine in one gulp.

"Who?" Ming Xi shouted when he saw a person hiding behind the bushes.

Mu Xuance moved out from behind the bushes, but did not step forward. "Master, it's me."

"Xuance? You're back? Great, you're fine. Why are you hiding? Come here and let Master see if there's any injuries?" Ming Xi said happily.

Hearing this, Mu Xuance jumped over and knelt on the ground, weeping, "Master! I thought Master didn't want to see this disciple anymore! Huh..."

"How could it be? I'm worried that you're about the same. Just come back, the most dangerous place is the safest place, right now the general's mansion is under house arrest, I think Xiao Jincheng dare not tell you what to do." Ming Xi said.

"It's all the disciples that caused Master to be like this, and it's all the disciples that made Master suffer! If you hadn't saved me back then, I wouldn't have suffered such a catastrophe. All disciples deserve to die!" Mu Xuance said emotionally, with tears streaming down his face.

Seeing his appearance, Mingxi felt distressed, and said: "It's none of your business, you are a good boy, the emperor of heaven has been jealous of me for a long time, even without you, they would still find a reason to deal with me. In the end, I was the one who got involved you."

"No, master! Master saved my life, taught me skills, and I can never repay my disciple's kindness! Master, I..."

"Stop talking, Master won't let you repay. Xuance, remember, you must save your life in case of accidents in the future." Ming Xi was afraid that the child would do stupid things, so he seriously explained to him that he listened to himself the most. , this child is too simple.

Hearing this, Xuan Ce held back his tears and said, "Yes, Master."

A few days later, on this day, Mingxi felt that the soldiers guarding them in the mansion looked weird, and the atmosphere was more tense and dignified than usual, wondering if something happened.Back in the study room, Mingxi was sitting down and flipping through a book, when an elderly man dressed as a servant brought in tea, Mingxi remained calm, and sure enough, the man gave him a wink.Ming Xi understood, and said to the guard at the door: "I'm tired, I need to sleep for a while, you go to the door and watch over me so you don't disturb me."

The guard seemed to feel that he couldn't escape even if he was guarding the door, so he wanted to retreat, but the man made a gesture to retreat as well, Mingxi said again: "Wait a minute, you, it's you, come over and beat this general's leg."

After closing the door, Mingxi said: "Tell me, why did the Emperor of Heaven send you to sneak into the General's Mansion?" Talent was able to come in, it seems that something happened to the Emperor of Heaven.

The man hurriedly knelt down and said: "General, the crown prince conspired against him, and the Emperor of Heaven was imprisoned in the palace. The old slave escaped after a lot of hard work. I beg the general to save the Emperor of Heaven. Only you can save him now!"

Ming Xi smiled helplessly, the lifespan of the Celestial Clan people is as long as thousands of years, at the current age of the Celestial Emperor, the prince would have to wait at least three or four hundred years to succeed to the throne after the Celestial Emperor's funeral.Although it was expected that the prince would not always be willing to be subordinated to others, he did not expect the prince to be so impatient that he would rush to rebel before he got the military power.The old man said that only I can save the Heavenly Emperor?I just want to save him, but now I am trapped here, and my spiritual power is limited in this restriction, how can I save him?Ming Xi was even a little gloating, for the Heavenly Emperor treated him like this, and now he is also unhappy with the retribution.But the prince Xiao Jincheng is cruel and tyrannical, and his conduct and ability are even more grandiose, arrogant and stupid.In the past, there were still many loyal ministers and famous officials like himself in the imperial court, but now the imperial court is full of smog, if the prince is allowed to be the lord of the heavens at this time, the future of the entire Celestial Clan will be really worrying.

"Okay, I understand, you go down." Ming Xi said lightly.Although I really don't want to save the Emperor in my heart, this may be an opportunity to break out of the current predicament.

Mingxi brought Yunting over to discuss the matter of breaking out of the encirclement.It is impossible to forcefully break through, and the current spiritual power is limited, and it is impossible to deal with so many guards with martial arts and body skills alone, and it will also attract the attention of the imperial guards in the city.If you can't attack by force, or Yujian can't, then go underground!Ming Xi recalled that there was a stream in the garden in the mansion, and when the garden of the General's Mansion was built, it was drawn from the running water outside the city, and it might be able to reach the outside of the city.The two have made up their minds and are going to investigate first tonight.

At night, the two of them hid their bodies and slipped quietly to the end of the stream. At the end of the stream was a pool of water, not too big, but still relatively deep.Yun Ting went into the water to investigate, he was very good at water, he came up after a while and said: "The general expected well, there is indeed a passage to get out from here."

"Go back and inform Qing Luo and Xuan Ce that we will meet here once the time passes and escape together."

"Yes, I'll go right now."

The underwater channel is thin and long, leading directly to a lake outside the city, and the four of them swam for a while before getting out of the lake.Xuan Ce's water skills were not good, Ming Xi kept holding him tightly, but luckily the four of them escaped safely.After leaving the restricted area of ​​the general's mansion, the spiritual power was slowly recovering, and the few people did not dare to delay, and continued to escape in the agreed direction.The place to go is Baihuyuan, the Guo family in Yuecheng.

Tiandu is located in the center of the heavenly realm. It is surrounded by Qinglong Mountain in the east, Baihuyuan in the west, Suzaku Forest in the south, and Basalt Rock in the north. The border, the coast of the East China Sea and other places.Baihuyuan is the closest to Tiandu, and the terrain is the flattest, so it is a rich and prosperous land.The largest city in Baihuyuan is Yuecheng, which is also the second largest city in the heaven.The owner of Yuecheng, the Guo family, is a famous family in the heaven for thousands of years. There are many famous families in the sky, either the royal family, the eunuch family, or the scholarly family and the martial arts family.But the Guo family in Yuecheng is different. The main business of the family is business. It is the largest business family in the heaven.

The current owner of the Guo family is Guo Hao, the second son of Mrs. Guo.This person was born in the side house of Mrs. Guo, and because he was a concubine, he was originally not qualified to inherit the family business.It happened that when Guo Hao was young, his ambition was not in business. He liked to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child.Back then when Ming Xi was young, the commander in chief at that time was Ming Xi's father. Because Ming Xi was born in a famous general's family in the heavens and he was also a young commander, he was naturally young and energetic.And because Guo Hao's family was rich, he didn't know how much his family had donated to the court when he joined the army, so he became a detachment general as soon as he came.The two of them can't get used to anyone, but they don't know each other without fighting. After a few misunderstandings, the two became best friends.Guo Hao is a forthright man, although his martial arts is average, but he is very loyal, and he is very congenial with Ming Xi.The two had been in the military for many years, but unfortunately the eldest son of the Guo family, Guo Hao's elder brother, died early, and no one in the family inherited the family business except Guo Hao, so they had no choice but to resign and return to Yuecheng.Over the past hundred years, Guo's business management has become better and better.

On the way, Mingxi had sent a letter to Guo Hao, and Guo Hao sent someone to pick them up at the gate of the city, and the four arrived at Guo's house smoothly.Guo Hao heard about the sudden change in the sky and the house arrest of Mingxi a few days ago. First, he was worried that the situation in the capital would be unstable and the world would be in chaos. Second, he was also worried about the safety of his friends. Now he is quite excited to see Mingxi.But Ming Xi didn't care about reminiscing about the old days with him, and hurriedly called everyone to discuss the matter of suppressing the rebellion.Fortunately, Guo Hao's family has a big business, and the news network is spread all over the place, so he has already investigated the current situation clearly.

Now the situation is very unfavorable to them, the Heavenly Capital has fallen, the Heavenly Emperor is imprisoned, the Prince has Nangong Chenao's [-] Heavenly Soldiers, and the Chiyun Army's [-] traitors, a total of [-] Heavenly Soldiers.Xu Shitiandi has not handed over the tiger talisman, and the remaining [-] Chiyun troops have not been mobilized by the prince.When Mingxi was in jail before, the crown prince killed and withdrew half of the generals in the Chiyun army. Now that Mingxi doesn't have a tiger charm in his hand, it is not so easy to persuade these [-] heavenly soldiers to follow him to put down the rebellion.There is hope for convincing the old army back then, but it still takes time, and the number of troops who can hopefully be persuaded is less than [-].But the most important thing right now is to find a way to rescue the Heavenly Emperor first, otherwise, when the prince and others completely control the situation, they will kill the Heavenly Emperor and seize the throne, which will be even more troublesome.

After making up his mind, Ming Xi and Yun Ting planned to go to the palace to investigate the current situation first. Although he knew that the prince must be guarded heavily and might be waiting for them to fall into the trap, he still needed to find out the truth.Mingxi asked Xuan Ce to go with Guo Hao about lobbying the former Chiyun Army. After all, Xuan Ce is a prince, so it is justifiable to lobby against the rebellion.Guo Hao is familiar with many old generals, and most importantly, he is rich and can settle many things.Qing Luo stayed in Yuecheng and arranged with Guo Hao's subordinates to prepare various supplies.

After arranging everything, several people set off separately.Mingxi and Yunting Yujian came to the outside of Tiandu City. The prince's army was stationed in an open area at the junction of the Suzaku Forest in the south of Tiandu. The leader of the army was Nangong Chende, the younger brother of Nangong Chenao. Chen Ao's personality is different, but he is quite calm, good-natured but too foolish and loyal.The sky is heavily guarded, and everyone who enters or exits the city gates must be subject to strict interrogation. It will definitely not work during the day, but it seems that we can only talk about it at night.
