Clouds gather in other fields.

These days, gatherings in other fields have become extremely lively.

Because many people from Dingguohou Mansion came here and lived here.

For example, Zhongli is like a painting, Zhongli is like rain, Zhongli is like snow, Zhongli is like smoke, Zhongli is like words, etc.

Mostly women.

Because all the men in Zhongli's family who are over sixteen years old are serving as officials in the court or serving in the army.

The defense gathered in other fields has also become tighter. In addition to the guards in the open, there are also many masters in the dark.

Fan Taohua didn't dare to be careless at all.

After all, no one can be sure about matters in Kyoto.

These days Zhongli Ruoshui has truly experienced what it means to force a smile.

Of course she had to look happy when facing her sisters.

But in her heart, she was always worried about Li Chenan in Shuangjiao Mountain.

In the blink of an eye, almost twenty days passed.

Twenty days seemed to fly by in the blink of an eye when the two of them were together, but after they were separated, she realized what it meant to live like a year.

It's late autumn, and it's even colder when the crowds gather in other fields.

Zhongli Ruoshui got up early, and Lin Xueer had already added a few new pieces of charcoal to the charcoal stove.

"The greenhouse built by Mr. Li is better. The whole house is warm all day long. The price of charcoal has increased by three points this year..."

Lin Xueer waited on Zhongli Ruoshui to dress and bathe, and then said babbledly:

"Fortunately, I bought some extra charcoal a few days ago. I heard that the four city gates in Kyoto were closed yesterday. It was said that the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple jointly arrested the bandits."

"I'm afraid there's going to be a war."

Zhongli Ruoshui was not very interested in this, so she asked: "Has any news come back from Shuangjiao Mountain?"

"Not yet, after all, that place is a bit far away. Don't worry, young lady, Mr. Li will be fine."

At this moment, Zhongli Ruohua's shout came from the courtyard below the wooden building:

"Sister, sister, have you gotten up?"

"There is news about my brother-in-law!"

Zhongli Ruoshui's eyes lit up. Regardless of her uncombed hair, she stood up suddenly and came to the window, "Get up, come up!"

A guy from Zhongli Ruoshui flew in from the window, stood in front of Zhongli Ruoshui, raised his neck, and stretched out a hand:

"Osmanthus cake, change!"

"The city gates of Kyoto are closed. Where can I find the sweet-scented osmanthus cake? Tell me quickly. When the city gates open, I will take you to eat as much as you like!"

"Keep your word?"

"certainly."

"Hook!"

Zhongli Ruoshui glared at his sister and had no choice but to pull the hook with her.

"Grandpa Sikong and the others are back and they are all injured."

Zhongli Ruoshui's heart tightened, "Is it serious?"

"Fortunately, Brother Xiao Wu healed their injuries... They said that my brother-in-law was alive and kicking, and he caught the second prince, and later Ji An. The battle at Shuangjiao Mountain is over."

"Then when will Chen An come back?"

Zhong Liruohua shook his head, "They said that my brother-in-law brought about 300 people on board the ship, and they don't know whether it will be anchored at the pier in Kyoto or headed to the pier in Huaishan County."

"But the fourth princess's army of women and the junior sisters of the thirteenth princess are coming to Kyoto. I'm afraid they will arrive in three to five days."

Zhongli Ruoshui rubbed his hands, thinking that since Chen An was not traveling with them, the ship he was traveling on would not be docked at the Kyoto pier.

He is going to Huaishan County.

What are you doing there?

There was a hint of worry in Zhongli Ruoshui's eyes, and then he heard Zhongli Ruoshui say in a mysterious and mysterious way:

"elder sister,"

"Grandpa Sikong and the others also said that there is a beautiful woman beside my brother-in-law!"

Zhongli Ruoshui was startled, "What woman?"

"It's the owner of Wanxi Zhai. The master of Thirteenth Sister and the others... said that the woman is not only young and beautiful, but also has great kung fu!"

Zhong Liruohua tilted his little head and stared at his sister, blinking his big eyes, and said: "You have to be careful, I sent a fourth princess to my brother-in-law, and now a beautiful master suddenly appeared.

…”

"This man's heart is a bottomless pit that cannot be filled! When it comes to women, hehe, they are all about the more, the merrier!"

"Don't make yourself lose your place. Then... I will help you get him back when I grow up!"

Zhongli Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, but his heart was still tight, and it was a bit off-putting after all.

"Is that beautiful master coming to Kyoto? Or is he going with Chen An?"

"She said she was also on the boat. I think she might be plotting against her brother-in-law!"

Zhongli Ruoshui laughed instead. She rubbed Zhongli Ruoshui's head and said, "It's a good thing to have an expert beside your brother-in-law to protect him!"

Zhongli Ruohua was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said something that was not appropriate for her age:

"But if the protection is on the bed..."

"Don't talk nonsense! Did the fourth princess get on the boat too?"

"Um!"

"That's alright. With the Fourth Princess here, how can she let others get there first?"

Zhongli Ruoshui didn't talk about this topic anymore, she asked: "Where is grandma?"

"When I went to Tai'an City, it seemed like there was really going to be a war!"

…

…

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Two young and beautiful maids were gently beating Ji Tai's back.

Ji Tai's old eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment he opened them, looked at his second son Ji Tuo sitting opposite, and asked:

"How are the preparations for the Thousand Oxen Guards?"

"Go back to Father, we are ready!"

"That boy Cheng Zhe from Cheng Guogong's family must be handled with care. Qian Niu Wei and Zuo Wei are all that boy's confidants."

"Haier knows that in the past two years, Haier has arranged several people around Cheng Zhe. If there is an incident, they will control Cheng Zhe and will never miss important events because of him!"

Ji Tai nodded and looked at his third son Ji Ling.

"Tai'an City, my father was careless. I never expected that Mrs. Fan would brazenly send the Shenwu Army to occupy it!"

"The imperial court has initiated a court discussion on this matter and has also sent a document to Fan Taohua. However, I don't think it will have any effect as a father. Let's ignore it for the time being and wait until your eldest brother comes back with his troops."

"Now there are two things that you need to deal with immediately!"

Ji Tuo and Ji Ling stood up and bowed: "Father, please give me your instructions!"

"Ji Ling, go to Nanping City and Fenglai City and send these two letters to the garrison generals of these two acropolises. They will know what to do next."

"Ji Tuo, you go to the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities and hand-deliver this letter to the Grand Governor Gao Zhanting. Then you return to Beiya Qianniu Guard. On October 11th, take control of the East Palace... and guard the palace gate!"

Brothers Ji Ling and Ji Tuo looked at each other. In this way, the dark clouds that have been hanging over Kyoto for several days will rain heavily at midnight five days later!

"Father, even if our people take control of Kyoto, if Fan Taohua comes with the Shenwu Army... I may not be able to hold it!"

Ji Tai looked at Ji Ling and smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, someone will deal with the Shenwu Army!"

"...Will the Red Flame Army arrive in five days?"

"right!"

"What about the Imperial City Division...?"

"Half of the people from the Imperial City Division went to Shuangjiao Mountain, and they didn't have time to come back."

"Where is the old thief Changsun?"

Ji Tai stroked his beard and said, "He?"

"He went to Huaishan County to seek death!"

Just when Ji Tai thought that everything was ready and everything was under his control, Kang Shiji, the chief steward of the Prime Minister's Mansion, walked in hurriedly.

"Sir, the battle at Shuangjiao Mountain is over."

"Oh, Li Chenan is finally dead now!"

"...Master, that's not the case. The second prince disappeared and the eldest young master was captured alive by Li Chen'an!"
