Changsun Meier was struck by thunder, she felt dizzy, her vision turned black, she raised one hand, staggered on her feet, and was about to fall down.

Ye Chao

Fortunately, She Yue took two steps forward and caught Changsun Meier before she fell.

"No!" Mei'er's face had turned as pale as snow, and she trembled: "It must be wrong, absolutely not!"

The shock in She Yue's heart was definitely not as shocking as Changsun Meier's.

But she knew that she must not panic at this time, and said in a deep voice: "Chai Xuan, you are so bold, talking nonsense here."

"Your Highness, I don't dare to talk nonsense." Chai Xuan put his forehead against the ground, "The general has really been assassinated."

She Yue tried her best to calm down and said: "General Changsun handles military affairs day and night. He is surrounded by sergeants. He is so good at martial arts. How could he be killed? Where is he now?"

"The general inspected the city defense in the evening and received a summons from His Highness. Immediately!" Chai Xuan raised his head, his voice choked with sobs. Before he could finish speaking, She Yue had already stopped and said: "Wait a minute, what did you say? I summon you?"

Chai Xuan saw She Yue's look of astonishment, and felt something was wrong, and said, "Yes. His Highness sent someone over to tell the general that there is an urgent military situation in the Northeast, and he wants the general to come overnight to discuss it!"

She Yue suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Chaoxuan. Ye Chaoxuan also looked surprised. Seeing She Yue looking over, he didn't understand. He immediately said: "Your Highness, the Northeast Military Information, I only got it an hour before I came to see the princess.

, I didn’t have time to report to General Changsun. I promise,

Before meeting the princess, I never disclosed military information to anyone."

She Yue frowned, feeling shocked.

In fact, many people must already know the Northeastern military information. Although this military information is an extremely urgent battle report for Xuzhou, it is not considered a secret.

What surprised her was that someone actually used this military information as an excuse to pretend to summon the eldest son Yuanxin.

"You continue." She Yue felt Changsun Meier's whole body trembling. She held one hand on her shoulder and the other hand held Meier's small hand. She stared at Chai Xuan and said: "Where did you meet the assassin?

"

"Liuhe Street." Chai Xuan said: "The general was summoned and without delay, he immediately led his subordinates and six guards on horseback to see the princess. We rode quickly and reached Liuhe Street. Halfway there, we were attacked. They ambush

On the street, it caught us off guard."

Ye Chaoxuan said: "General Changsun is coming from Nancheng?"

"yes!"

"Liuhe Street is the only way to pass when coming from Nancheng." Ye Chaoxuan said with a solemn expression: "Liuhe Street is a neighborhood near the river. The city has issued a curfew. No one is allowed to wander on the street starting at midnight every day."

"How many assassins are there?" She Yue asked.

Chai Xuandao: "Three people!"

She Yue was startled, frowned and said, "There are only three people?"

"Although there are not many of them, their martial arts are extremely good." Chai Xuan said: "One of them shot an arrow through the neck of the general's mount, and the other two also appeared suddenly. There was no one on the street at that time. We thought

They wanted to escort the general to break out, but those few men were extremely cruel. We were no match for them. We suffered heavy casualties in a matter of seconds. Subordinates

The subordinate was hit in the chest by an assassin, and his ribs seemed to be broken!" When he said this, he suddenly said "Wow" and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

She Yue and others were shocked.

At this moment, I saw a figure rushing up from the stairs, tearing open the armor on Chai Xuan's chest, with fingers like electricity, touching several of Chai Xuan's acupuncture points, and then quickly took out a porcelain bottle from his arms.

, took a pill and put it into Chai Xuan's mouth.

She Yue saw that the visitor was Chen Xun, a disciple of Tianshi, and knew that Chen Xun was healing Chai Xuan.

She had seen Chai Xuan's face looking very ugly before, but she did not expect that Chai Xuan was seriously injured.

"Inhale gently and exhale deeply!" Chen Xun waited for Chai Xuan to swallow the pill before saying, "Don't move yet."

Ye Chaoxuan had already said to She Yue: "Your Highness, please go back to the house first."

Chai Xuan spurted blood and there was blood on the ground. Ye Chaoxuan was naturally worried that the princess would be frightened.

She Yue asked Chen Xun: "How is his injury?"

"One of his ribs was broken and his internal organs were damaged. Fortunately, the broken bones did not damage his vital organs, otherwise he would not be able to survive now." Chen Xundao disciple, who was very calm about such a big thing, stood up and said: "If it is timely,

With treatment, he should still be alive."

"Then quickly treat his injuries." Although She Yue wanted to know what happened at that time, her life was at stake, so she could only order Chen Xun to treat Chai Xuan first.

Chai Xuan said hurriedly: "Your Highness, my subordinates are not here yet!"

"Treat the wounds first." She Yue said firmly.

Chen Xundao said: "Princess, we will treat him immediately. If you have any questions, we will give him some more medicine after daybreak. It should be

You can talk for a while." Immediately, he called Ling Tailang and carefully carried Chai Xuan down.

"Your Highness, I will immediately take people to Liuhe Street to see what is going on at the assassination scene." Ye Chaoxuan looked solemn, "There is a curfew in the city. Although an assassination occurred, not many people know about it at the moment. I must hurry before dawn.

Take care of the scene. If General Changsun has really been killed, the matter is unusual and cannot be known to others, let alone the army."

She Yue knew that the situation was extremely serious.

After Ye Chao

Unified command and dispatch.

There are nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city. In addition to the Jiangnan Army brought by Changsun Yuanxin from Jiangnan, there are also three soldiers and horses of Yanzhou Army, Yuzhou Army and Xuzhou Army.

There were many arrogant and capable soldiers in these groups. The eldest son, Yuanxin, had a lot of experience in the army and was She Yue's confidant, so he could barely control the troops.

She Yue knew that once the news of the death of the eldest son Yuanxin spread, the arrogant and powerful generals of the various troops would not obey anyone, and there might be internal strife, and the morale of the army would be severely damaged.

Therefore, until a proper solution is figured out, the news of Changsun Yuanxin's death must not be publicized to the outside world.

"Master Ye, you are mature and prudent." Although She Yue was shocked and sad, she knew that the more times like this, the more she had to stay calm. "Don't let the news leak out. You will lead people overnight to find out what the situation is." She turned to look at Changsun Mei beside her.

One glance, charming

Er's expression was dull and his face was pale. He couldn't mention the eldest grandson Yuanxin anymore, so he just said to Ye Chaoxuan: "After finding out, I will report it immediately. You must also be careful and bring more people."

She was sitting in Xuzhou, relying on her eldest grandson Yuanxin for military affairs, and Ye Chaoxuan for government affairs. There were two pillars, one civil and one military. Now that the eldest grandson Yuanxin was killed and one of the pillars collapsed, Ye Chaoxuan naturally could not have another accident.

Ye Chaoxuan handed over his hands and left in a hurry.

She Yue then helped Changsun Meier back to the house, carefully helped her sit down, stood on the edge, held Meier's hand, and said softly: "Don't be anxious, wait until we find out, maybe General Changsun survived."

Disaster."

"Princess, can brothers really escape death?" Mei'er raised her head, tears streaming down her face and filled with sadness, but she still held She Yue's hand.

She Yue was sad in her heart, but she also knew that Meier needed comfort most at the moment. She could only say: "Chai Xuan couldn't explain clearly what the situation was. They fought with the assassin. If the assassin was good, how did Chai Xuan kill him?

?Although he was seriously injured, he is still alive after all. General Changsun may have also fought out, but was injured and unable to come over for a while."

When she said this, she didn't even believe it herself.

There must be a reason why Chai Xuanneng came to report alive, but since he personally said that the eldest grandson Yuanxin was dead, the possibility of the eldest grandson Yuanxin escaping from death is very slim.

Changsun Meier was just such a relative, but she suddenly heard the bad news tonight. She was devastated, but with She Yue by her side, she could only endure her grief and could not fully express her emotions.

Seeing Mei'er's pretty face that was both haggard and sad, She Yue's heart

He also felt uncomfortable and said: "It's not yet dawn, so you should squint for a while. After dawn, Ye Chaoxuan should have news."

Meier lives on the fourth floor of the tower. She just wants to be alone for a while. She hums softly and controls her emotions: "Princess, please rest for a while. Meier will step back first!" She wanted to get up, but found that her whole body was already gone.

There is no strength, because the sadness is too much, and all the strength in the body seems to have been drained just now.

Seeing this, She Yue went out and called two maids over, and helped Meier down to rest.

She didn't dare to let Meier stay on the top floor because she couldn't bear it when she saw Meier's heartbroken face.

After Mei'er left, She Yue walked to the window.

It was already late at night and everything was quiet.

She looked up at the night sky. The dark night sky was like the mouth of an ancient god, swallowing up all the sun, moon and stars.

A gust of wind blew over. Although it was already February, She Yue felt a biting coldness all over her body and couldn't help but hug her arms.

Of course she knew what it would mean to her if her eldest grandson Yuanxin was really killed.

When she decided to come to Xuzhou, her greatest confidence was because she knew that the troops attacking Xuzhou were commanded by Changsun Yuanxin.

She came to Xuzhou with Meier, and she knew at that time that as long as she could see her eldest grandson Yuanxin, his eldest grandson Yuanxin would definitely be loyal to her without hesitation.

The eldest grandson, Yuanxin, was loyal and capable of commanding troops. This was She Yue's greatest confidence in taking control of Xuzhou.

Under the current situation, he can only rely on Changsun Yuanxin to control the various troops and horses in Xuzhou. With Changsun Yuanxin here, the military power is in his hands, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are the sharp weapons in his hands.

But

The eldest grandson Yuanxin was assassinated.

She Yue didn't know what the situation would be like if the soldiers and horses in the city knew the news.

The Tantai Xuanye people are in Yuzhou, and if nothing unexpected happens, they will soon attack Xuzhou. I originally wanted to rely on the eldest grandson Yuanxin to lead the troops to confront Tantai Xuanye, but the battle was about to begin, and the leading general was assassinated.

Even if the situation is not a devastating blow to Xuzhou, it is still an extremely heavy loss.
