When Li Ye ran to Tang Qiuyu, he was already prepared, but he was still shocked by the scene in front of him.

I saw Xia Wutong lying softly on Tang Qiuyu's body, with an arrow stuck in the back of her left shoulder. Blood flowed down her shoulder, dyeing her light yellow skirt red.

Tang Qiuyu also had several wounds on her body. Although there was no blood spatter, her plain white skirt was dyed red.

At first glance, the two of them were covered in blood.

Li Ye looked at Yeluyan who was covering her mouth and crying and said, "This injury is not fatal, so stop crying."

Yeluyan looked up at Li Ye and said bitterly: "Master Imperial Master, you have to avenge Sister Wutong!"

Xia Wutong opened his eyes and looked at Li Ye, smiling hard at him. "Junior brother, you still came back in a hurry."

Li Ye asked and she nodded and replied: "After receiving your signal, I rushed back immediately. Unexpectedly, I was still late."

Li Ye looked at Tang Qiuyu and said, "Take the princess back to the room. Commander Xia and the others should have almost finished cleaning up."

Tang Qiuyu nodded and asked softly: "Do you want to go see the Generalissimo first?"

"No need, Commander Xia has passed." Li Ye knew that as long as Xia Yunlan was around, the eldest prince would not be in danger.

When Mu Mu walked into Tang Qiuyu's room with her hands behind her back, Xia Wutong had already fainted.

When Li Ye took off the feather arrow from her left arm, she still couldn't hold it back.

Tang Qiuyu looked at him and said, "No one except a pervert like you can bear this kind of pain."

Mu Mu looked at Xia Wutong who had fainted and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Wutong?"

Yeluyan pulled her aside and told her about Xia Wutong setting off fireworks to cover her and getting hit by an arrow.

When Mu Mu heard this, she raised her feet and was about to walk away, yelling: "Mu Mu will avenge you!"

Li Ye grabbed her and said in a solemn voice: "Those killers are at a higher level than you, how can you take revenge? If you stay here, Commander Xia and the others are outside, or is Brother Nalan also guarding the door?"

Having said this, Mu Mu stopped walking, looked at the three of them and said, "I also shot several killers outside the door who wanted to run to the city lord's mansion. Brother Nalan is still guarding there with his bodyguards."

Li Ye nodded and said, "Everything will be arranged by Commander Xia."

As long as the killers in the city lord's palace are eliminated, Xia Yunlan will come to see him, and everyone will decide on all countermeasures.

...

At the end of the wedding ceremony, a group of people who had finished cleaning the city lord's mansion returned to the hall to gather together.

Tang Qiuyu, Hua Luoyu and other people with minor injuries applied the gold wound medicine given by Li Ye, and each changed their clothes. Mu Mu sat aside and boiled water for everyone obediently.

Nalan Yu looked up at the group of people sitting in the room and said in a deep voice: "According to statistics, there are thirty-seven of these killers in total. Since there are no survivors, we don't know when they sneaked into the city."

Li Ye nodded. He had known the behavior of these killers for a long time. "What are the casualties of our personnel?" He was concerned about the group of guards and black-clothed guards in the city lord's palace.

Nalan Yu glanced at everyone in the room and said quietly: "In addition to the injured in the room, five of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion died, 20 were seriously injured, and 36 were slightly injured."

Seeing Li Ye's frown, Gang Lanyu continued: "Because their main target is the generalissimo, they don't pay much attention to the guards of the City Lord's Mansion."

This means that if it weren't for the failure to find the eldest prince, it is estimated that the guards of the city lord's palace would not be enough to attack and kill these killers.

"General Nalan will be responsible for the pension issue after the matter in the imperial city is resolved." Li Ye glanced at the eldest prince and said softly.

The eldest prince nodded and expressed no objection.

Tang Qiuyu thought for a while, looked at Li Ye and asked: "These killers must have been lying in wait for a long time, otherwise why would they launch an attack as soon as you and Commander Xia left?"

Li Ye looked at her and replied calmly: "The south city gate has been repaired, but now they are unable to fly. I have asked Deputy Marshal Jiang to lead a large team of people to conduct house-to-house inspections."

Tang Qiuyu felt relieved now, looked at him and said, "Next, we have to strengthen the patrol in the city."

Li Ye didn't worry about the patrol. He knew that with Jiang Huo here, these little things wouldn't be a problem. The next thing had to be done in advance.

"Commander Xia, if you are asked to hang these thirty-seven heads on the south gate tower of the imperial city, can you do it?" Li Ye was thinking about how to give a warning to the powerful people in the imperial city!

Xia Yunlan didn't expect that Li Ye would ask him this question, so he replied without even thinking about it: "What's so difficult about this?"

"That's good. Brother Xia, please go to the imperial city tonight. I want them to have a taste of what it means to have trouble sleeping and eating!" Li Ye looked at everyone and said quietly.

The eldest prince looked up at Li Ye and asked seriously: "The Imperial Master doesn't want to wait any longer?"

Li Ye looked back at him, then at Tang Qiuyu and Hua Tianxia, ​​and replied calmly: "The city gate has been repaired, why continue to wait."

"Within ten days, when the princess is able to travel, it will be the day when we command the imperial city!"

The arrows have been cast, the city gates have been repaired, and the White Jade City is now just an iron bucket. It's time to go to the Imperial City to meet those people.

"Is it too fast?" Tang Qiuyu looked at him and asked.

Li Ye raised his head and looked at her. I don't know if it was because Tang Qiuyu was injured today. Even though she applied the gold wound medicine Li Ye gave her, her face was still pale at this time.

"Too many people have died. If we don't take action, more people will die here." Li Ye said softly while looking at the guards coming and going outside the living room carrying buckets to flush the ground.

The blood stains can be washed away with water, but the smell of blood hanging in the air cannot be washed away no matter what, even though Nalan Yu and Ma Feihu have lit many incense dishes in the house.

The eldest prince looked at Xia Yunlan and said, "Bring more brothers over tonight and pay attention to safety on the road."

Xia Yunlan nodded and replied: "You should be careful here."

Li Ye looked at him and said, "I'll sit here and wait for them."

After hearing this, Hua Tianxia couldn't help but tremble, looked at Li Ye and asked, "What does the Imperial Master want?"

Li Ye suppressed his anger and said with a sneer: "I want to go to the imperial city and behead a group of people to pay homage to the soldiers who died in vain!"

Hua Tian was stunned, as if he saw the bloody chaos in the imperial city. In surprise, he turned to look at the eldest prince and said, "What do you mean, marshal?"

The eldest prince was no less angry than Li Ye today. His sister was actually injured by an arrow, but he hid in the house and watched his soldiers die.

After a moment of silence, the eldest prince looked at her and said, "What the Imperial Master means is what I mean."

Looking at the people in the room, Li Ye suddenly felt a little overwhelmed. In the past, he had never considered any dangerous issues when doing things alone.

At most, he could only worry about Mumu for a while, and then the eldest prince had been worrying about him for a year.

And now a large group of people are following him. Until the mess in the Imperial City is dealt with, no one can tell when the danger will come.

He took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said: "In the days before the army sets off, everyone can stay at the city lord's mansion with peace of mind, and don't run out if you have nothing to do."

After saying this, he raised his head and glanced at Mu Mu.

In his heart, Mu Mu was probably the only one who dared not listen to him.

Yeluyan took Mumu's hand and said softly: "I was scared to death today. Mumu, let's just stay in the house for a while!"

Mu Mu looked at her and said nothing, but stretched out his hand to pull her to sit next to him.

What if you want her not to go out? Even if she can't go out, she relies on Li Ye to take her out. She already feels that she is about to break through, so she is not afraid.

...

The next day, we went to the Royal Palace in Vientiane City for the morning meeting.

A group of ministers were already in chaos before the new emperor came to court.

"Have you figured it out yet?" the Right Prime Minister asked, looking into Linghu Kuangyu's eyes.

Linghu Kuangyu looked at the chaotic crowd coldly and said, "Even if that happens, so what? Do they still dare to attack the imperial city?"

The right prime minister stopped trying to communicate with him, turned around and looked at the left prime minister and said: "I mean, left prime minister, you haven't said a word since the emperor came to the throne. Do you want to stay out of it?"

Zuo Xiang opened his half-closed eyes and looked at him and asked: "I am just a civil servant, what do you want from me?"

The right minister was stunned, looked at him and said: "Even as a civil servant, you can also give some advice to the emperor, right?"

Zuo Xiang's face fell, he stared at him and shook his head slightly, saying: "It is enough for you and Lord Linghu to come up with ideas."

The right minister was scolded by him and was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while. He pointed at him and said, "Haven't you seen it? There are thirty-seven heads hanging outside the south city gate?"

Prime Minister Zuo looked at him and said calmly: "If these killers were targeting me, I would have been dead by now. Since I was not the one who ordered them, do I need to be afraid?"

The right minister was so upset by what he said that he was so angry that he cursed: "Stupid, if they attack the imperial city, will they let us courtiers go?"

Prime Minister Zuo looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "You don't have to scare me. I stay at home every day and I haven't done anything wrong."

The right minister suddenly realized that he had no idea how to deal with the old man in front of him.

When it came to fighting, the two of them were at the same level. If they weren't in the court, he really wanted to turn around and leave.

The ministers in the court were struggling. The next moment, the new emperor Xia Yunjie walked onto the golden palace accompanied by the eunuch Yan Wuxue.

Yan Wuxue looked at a group of noisy courtiers and coughed lightly: "What are you arguing about? It will be the time for the morning court."

Many people had heard about the incident on the tower at the south gate of the imperial city. They were panicking when the great eunuch coughed, causing them to stop in shock. They all lowered their heads and waited for the new emperor to speak.

Although the courtiers lowered their heads, Xia Yunjie still felt the strange looks from all around, especially the left prime minister who looked like it was none of his business.

Xia Yunjie did not explain anything, but whispered to Yan Wuxue that he could start the morning court.

Yan Wuxue raised his head, glanced at the courtiers who had their heads lowered, and asked: "What important matters need to be discussed today? The ministers may wish to talk and listen, and finally ask Your Majesty to make your decision."

After saying this, he quietly stepped aside.

Linghu Kuangyu thought for a while, then stood up and said: "Outside the south gate of the imperial city, last night, thirty-seven heads were hung up. They also threatened to leave the imperial city within ten days and kill all those who resisted.

!”

The right prime minister looked at the left prime minister, whose eyes were half closed, and stood up and said: "This southern Xinjiang army obviously does not take the majesty of the dynasty into consideration. I suggest that your majesty send another large army to attack Baiyu City."

General Wei Xian stood up and looked at the right minister and said: "Your Majesty, you must not do it. The structure of White Jade City is very similar to that of the Imperial City. The city there is tall and the horses are strong. If we send our troops, we will only die."

...

For a while, there were those who were in favor of sending troops, and there were those who were against sending troops. Whether they were in favor or against, Xia Yunjie felt that it was not the most important thing. The most important thing at the moment was that he did not have many troops left.

Linghu Kuangyu saw everyone arguing endlessly, waved his hand to everyone, looked at the new emperor seriously and said: "Your Majesty may consider borrowing troops from the Haishenji Islands in the North Sea. They have strong troops."

Seeing that the new emperor did not say a word, and the right minister did not object, he continued: "The 50,000 troops from the North Xuan Region and the West Xuan Region are expected to arrive at the imperial city within ten days at most."
