Ma Xingguo admired Liu Hongjue greatly, but Pan Weixing and Qin Xiao's expressions became more solemn.

The common people gathered to attack the governor's mansion. Regardless of whether the princess knew about it or not, they naturally went to report it to the princess.

When they arrived at the courtyard where the princess was, they saw Chen Xi sitting on the threshold of the courtyard door. When they saw Pan Weixing and others coming over, they got up.

When the people gathered earlier, Chen Xi never showed up. Qin Xiao was still wondering where he had gone. At this time, he understood that the first thing that the young eunuch thought of was the safety of the princess. He came to the yard early to personally guard it.

I think Zi Yi Jian is really loyal to the saint and the princess.

"Please inform the princess, I have something important to report!" Pan Weixing said to Chen Xi.

Now in the Governor's Mansion, in fact, the young eunuch of the Ziyi Prison is of course the closest to the princess. After all, the Ziyi Prison belongs directly to the palace. At this time, I don't know what the princess's situation is, so let Chen Xi report it naturally

is the most suitable.

Chen Xi also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he didn't say much. He turned around and entered the courtyard. After a while, he came out and said: "Princess, please come in!"

The three of them followed Chen Xi into the courtyard. When they got inside the house, they saw that the princess had already taken off her cloak. She had a plump figure and curvy figures. She was wearing a long skirt, but she was shining brightly.

All three of them knelt down. Pan Wei explained in detail what had just happened, and asked for credit for Qin Xiao: "Thanks to Qin Shaoqing's wisdom and courage, he was able to turn the crisis into safety. Qin Shaoqing deserves the most credit."

"In the land of Jiangnan where the literary style flourishes, the people have always been sensible." She Yue's beautiful face was full of coldness: "Now some people are instigating, and thousands of people can gather in a short period of time. Give them some time, just

It's not difficult to be afraid of gathering tens of thousands of people. Pan Weixing, is this what the Suzhou you govern looks like?"

"I have betrayed the great trust of the saint and the princess, and I deserve to die!" Pan Wei went to the ground, knowing that he was really incompetent as a governor.

The princess sat on the chair, stood up, walked to the window with graceful posture, pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Qian Guanghan and his son haven't come here yet?"

"The old minister has sent someone to spread the news, but there has been no news." Pan Weixing said hurriedly: "The old minister will send someone again."

The princess snorted coldly and asked, "The commander of the Suzhou camp didn't come either?"

"Princess Qi, the commander of Suzhou Camp, Liu Hongju, returned to the camp last night. He was injured by an arrow and returned to the camp to recuperate." Ma Xingguo said hurriedly.

The princess turned around, frowned and said: "If you want to recuperate, you should stay in the city. Isn't it much more convenient to recuperate in the city than in the camp outside the city?" Then Liu's eyebrows tightened, and she realized something, and her face became even more solemn: "Liu

Hongju must be in trouble if he rushes back to Suzhou Camp at this time."

Qin Xiao finally said: "Ma Changshi just said that the Suzhou Camp has been trained by Liu Hongju in recent years, and the soldiers have been personally selected by Liu Hongju. All the unqualified soldiers in the camp have been kicked out."

"Ma Xingguo, have you been to Suzhou Camp in the past three years?" the princess asked coldly.

Ma Xingguo hurriedly said: "Every year, the camp holds spring exercises and autumn exercises, and all the ministers will be present in person."

"So you only go there twice a year?" The princess showed anger: "Liu Hongju rebelled, don't you even know?"

Ma Xingguo's expression changed suddenly and he raised his head: "Your Highness, there is no way that Liu Hongju will rebel. Back then, he followed his subordinates from Kyoto to Suzhou and stayed in the army and did not interact with outsiders... He

There is no reason to rebel."

"It's beyond stupid." The princess sneered: "You have great trust in Liu Hongju and handed over Suzhou Camp to him. In the past few years, it was enough for him to turn Suzhou Camp into his direct descendant."

"I will go to Suzhou Camp now and bring Liu Hongju here!" Ma Xingguo clenched his fist and said, "If he is rebellious, I will chop off his head with my own hands immediately."

The princess was uneasy, so she sat down and said, "I'm afraid your head will be taken off before you even pull out the knife."

"Princess, the top priority is to arrange for you to leave Suzhou as soon as possible." Qin Xiao said seriously: "Today the people gathered to attack the governor's mansion, which has proved that those people have begun to take action. Although the people have left temporarily, what will happen next will definitely happen.

It will get worse and worse, and you can no longer keep your precious body."

Pan Weixing said hurriedly: "Exactly, Your Highness, what Qin Shaoqing said is absolutely true. I will arrange for someone to take you out of the city now."

"Wait a minute." Qin Xiao turned to look at Pan Weixing: "Master Governor, how are you going to arrange for the princess to leave?"

Pan Weixing said: "Immediately transfer everyone back from Taixuan Temple. Three hundred elite soldiers from the governor's office will escort the princess away. These three hundred people are brave and good at fighting and can protect the princess to the Suzhou dock. There are official ships at the dock. Let them protect the princess back directly."

Beijing."

Qin Xiao shook his head and said, "No!"

Pan Weixing was about to ask when he heard Chen Xi's voice from outside: "Master Pan, please come out."

Pan Weixing was startled and looked at She Yue. She Yue waved her hand and Pan Weixing hurriedly went out. Soon, he returned to the house with a pale face and fell to his knees with a "pop".

"What happened?"

"Someone just reported that when the people gathered in front of the Governor's Mansion, a large number of people went to Taixuan Temple and clashed with the officers and soldiers of Taixuan Temple." Pan Wei's face was ashen: "During the entanglement, two soldiers were killed.

Kill, the conflict was fierce, some officers and soldiers killed many civilians, and now... Thousands of people surrounded Taixuan Guan, and some even provided kitchen knives, axes and other sharp weapons. Song Liang led a hundred of his men

Many people retreated to the Taoist temple and asked for help from the governor's office."

Ma Xingguo and Qin Xiao also changed their faces in horror.

"Some people are plotting rebellion, some are plotting rebellion." Ma Xingguo clenched his fist and said, "Your Highness, today the people were incited to besiege the Governor's Mansion and Taixuan Temple at the same time. This... this was carefully planned by someone."

Needless to say, Ma Xingguo said that everyone present also knew that something bad was going on.

Pan Weixing's eyes twitched and he finally said: "Ma Changshi, Qin Shaoqing, and the governor's office have a hundred and ten people. You take them to escort the princess to the dock immediately. I will go to Taixuan Temple."

He knew in his heart that he was already guilty of the chaos in Suzhou, and that he was guilty of putting the princess in danger without noticing it in advance was even more deserving of death.

"We can't just leave like this." Qin Xiao said immediately: "Your Highness, there are very few people in Suzhou who have the power to incite so many people. I can almost conclude that the Qian family must be behind it. I am only worried now that Liu Hong

Ju has colluded with the Qian family a long time ago. If this is true, it will be even more dangerous for the princess to leave like this. Those people have been planning for many years to lure His Highness to come to Suzhou. Now they already know that the princess is in the Governor's Mansion, and they will not do anything anyway.

Maybe the princess can escape unscathed."

Although the situation was critical, She Yue showed no signs of panic. Instead, she looked very calm. She thought for a moment and said, "The Suzhou camp has already rebelled, otherwise the Qian family would not have the guts to do this."

Ma Xingguo's pupils contracted.

Of course he knew the truth behind what the princess said.

The Suzhou camp has three thousand elite soldiers. After all, it is the land of Jiangnan. The officers and soldiers of the three Jiangnan camps are extremely well-equipped. Among the major camps in the eighteen states of the Tang Dynasty, few other camps can match the equipment of the three Jiangnan camps.

Let’s compete. If only the people of Suzhou are incited to cause trouble, not to mention one or two thousand, but ten or twenty thousand, as long as the Suzhou battalion’s three thousand elite soldiers enter the city, they can be quickly put down in a short time.

If the Qian family was behind this, with so many people involved, it would be easy to find out the real instigation. At that time, the Suzhou camp could directly raze the Qian family to the ground.

Therefore, if the Qian family wants to take action, they must ensure that the Suzhou camp is their own. Otherwise, the Qian family will never be able to do such a self-destructive thing based on their prudence.

Since the Qian family was confident, they naturally had no fear of the Suzhou camp. In addition, Liu Hongju ran back to the Suzhou camp overnight. From this, it can be almost concluded that Liu Hongju was indeed colluding with the Qian family and conspiring to rebel.

Ma Xingguo really couldn't figure out why the Qian family wanted to rebel when they left the largest aristocratic family in Suzhou to do good things. He even couldn't understand how Liu Hongju, whom he regarded as a close friend of life and death, could collude with Qian Jialan.

Rebel against the imperial court?

At this moment, I heard footsteps coming from outside again, and I heard Chen Xi's voice saying: "Your Highness, I have something important to report."

"Come in!"

After Chen Xi came in, he knelt on the ground with a solemn expression: "The people sent by the governor to summon the Qian family and his son have returned. The Qian family claimed that after Qian Guanghan was assassinated that night, he was frightened and seriously ill and could not come to see him.

Princess, his son Qian Guiting went to Hangzhou for business last night and was not at home."

"It is indeed them." Pan Weixing was trembling all over, not knowing whether it was because of anger or fear: "If Qian Guanghan was really seriously ill and could not afford it, how could Qian Guiting leave Suzhou at this time? Your Highness, it turns out...

It turns out that the Qian family has really rebelled." Thinking of something, he asked Chen Xi, "Where is Wei Tairan? Has he come back?"

Chen Xi didn't speak, just shook his head.

Pan Weixing's pupils shrank, and he suddenly raised his hand, slapped himself hard on the face, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, I am...I am guilty, I am guilty. I have been in Suzhou for three years, and I didn't notice it.

The Qian family actually has the intention of treason and begs the princess to die."

Sheyue leaned on the chair and closed her eyes.

There was a deathly silence in the house for a while.

Everyone present knew that if the Qian family rebelled and the princess fell into the hands of the Qian family, it would be an unimaginable situation.

"Young Master Chen, please protect the princess out of the city." After a while, Qin Xiao broke the silence in the room.

Chen Xi looked at Qin Xiao and then at She Yue. Qin Xiao looked solemn and said: "The Qian family and Suzhou camp rebelled at the same time. They will make bigger moves at any time, so the princess cannot stay in the city for a moment. Here.

Everyone in the room is loyal to the Tang Dynasty, so the top priority is that we need to work together to protect the princess from leaving the city smoothly." He looked at Chen Xi and said: "Master Young Supervisor, whether the princess can escape safely depends on you."

Chen Xi solemnly said: "It is the slave's duty to protect the princess. Even if she is shattered to pieces, the slave will protect the princess. But...!" After a pause, he said solemnly: "I am only worried that they have already

We have sent people to keep an eye on the Governor's Mansion, and they will be able to notice it as soon as the princess goes out. We don't have enough guards at the moment, and it will not be easy to protect the princess from arriving at the dock smoothly."

Qin Xiao looked at She Yue, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, I have a plan that requires the cooperation of everyone present!"
