"We usually don't act during the day, and I'll go in the afternoon."

Xiao Xuan didn't feel tired at all, because the Maxima's speed was several times faster than other horses, and the horses he brought with him were plenty of grass, so the first one was a smooth journey.

Yin Miao nodded. At this time, the carriage had started to drive, and she couldn't wait to tell Xiao Xuan what she had found out last night.

"Muyan..."

Xiao Xuan did not expect that Muyan, whom they had repeatedly investigated, was in the capital.

"In this way, a lot of things make sense. This Shanhaizhai is really the stronghold of the Eclipse Palace."

Yin Miao said excitedly, once things got their heads, they would have a direction to start.

"When I come back, I will take it."

Xiao Xuan's eyes were full of coolness.

"It's over, but for what reason?"

This is the capital where there is still a king's law, and it is Shanhaizhai, which is guarded by the imperial court and a group of bureaucrats.

"Isn't the reason already there?" Xiao Xuan hooked his lips and smiled, and Yin Miao immediately understood what he meant.

"Looks like you're ready too."

Yin Miao said with a smile, the capital, which has already been on the right track, is afraid that there will be earth-shaking changes in the next period of time.

...

On the 30th day of the porridge in the Xuanwang Mansion, a group of ragged refugees suddenly appeared in the capital. They were covered in scars and described as withered.

And the origin of these refugees also caused a sensation in the entire capital.

They were actually the people of Nanxiao who were rescued from Da'an by King Xuan and General Tang personally!

"What's going on? Tens of thousands of people went to Da'an to work as coolies?"

"Hey, I heard that it was forced, not only Da Anguo, but also Beirou's humiliation."

"So it sounds like Da'an Kingdom and Beirou Kingdom have joined forces? Then let's..."

"It's not optimistic. General Ju Tang said that King Xuan directly destroyed the place, and the Da'an army also provocatively said that they would attack my Nanxiao country."

"More than that, those refugees all said that they were tricked by our Nanxiao people, and only after they arrived did they realize that there was no food at all, and they were picked up and eaten by Beirou people when they died!"

"It's absolutely true! I've heard it too, it's still the way the guards of our capital pointed out!"

"..."

Once public opinion is fermented, it is like a spreading tide, even if the imperial court secretly sends people to stop it, it will not help, and even a large number of people gather to make trouble in front of Dali Temple after receiving the porridge.

Snapped!

A porcelain cup was smashed to the ground, and Peng Bin said angrily: "It really made them full, and they dared to doubt the imperial court?!"

"Sir, it has been two days since this matter has subsided, and the Holy One will definitely blame you and me."

An official in green also said worriedly.

"Blame it on you and me? I don't think so. The Holy One should blame the most right now, probably His Royal Highness King Xuan."

Peng Bin squinted his eyes and looked at the gloomy sky outside the window. For some reason, he always had a feeling that the mountains and the rain were coming and the wind was filling the building.

"Report!"

A police officer wearing a red ying ran into the hall, and it was obvious that he was very anxious.

"What's the matter?"

asked the officer in green.

"In response to the words of the two adults, just now the guards of the city received the gauntlet, and the gauntlet has been sent to the palace at this moment."

Gauntlet?

"Who declared war on my Nanxiao country?"

Peng Bin asked in a panic.

"Yes... it is Da'an Kingdom."

The clerk replied.

"Da'an Kingdom and Nanxiao Kingdom have been friends for generations, it must be because of what happened to King Xuan this time!"

Cao Yingshen, an official in green, said.

"Quick, go to the palace with me to meet the Holy Master, Nanxiao country has no way to fight now, it must be stopped."

Peng Bin quickly sorted out his top.

Although he has only been in office for a year, he is aware of the current situation of Nanxiao.

...

The fact that Da'anguo sent the war book spread throughout the capital, and this temporarily suppressed the humiliation of the refugees.

Even the people who received the porridge could not eat it.

Except for Yin Miao and Xiao Xuan.

"Where is Luming Stream? Is it far from here?"

Yin Miao was looking at a large map spread out in front of her. She saw Xiao Xuan and Tang Jin and other generals chatting for a long time, but she could not understand a single word, only that Da An Guo and Nan Xiao Guo were in Luming. Stream for a stop.

"It's just east of the capital, half a day's walk, and only an hour's drive."

Xiao Xuan pointed to a spot on the map and said.

"It's quite close, no wonder the people are so flustered."

Yin Miao could feel the worries of the people around her, and even the jade masters downstairs were a little absent-minded.

The war happens right in front of the door, and if they fail, they become fish.

"I'm worried that the emperor will ask for peace."

Tang Jin sighed. They not only saw the strength of King Xuan in Liangping area, but also realized the incompetence of the court. Thinking of the court that never acted, he was inexplicably annoyed.

"He won't."

Xiao Xuan lowered his head.

"Why is Your Highness so convinced?"

Zeng Buhui asked, he was a strong general in the army, and he was also a general under King Xuan.

"Guess what, and... he will order me to go."

Xiao Xuan's slender fingers swiped across the map, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Replaying the old tricks like before?"

Yin Miao asked, wouldn't he use the same method again?

"In the beginning?"

Tang Jin was obviously thinking of something. In his opinion, King Xuan was definitely not what he had been rumored to be. However, Xiao Xuan did not mean to argue, and analyzed the current situation with them.

That night, Chang Yuan, the head of the Dali Temple, personally led a group of officials from the Dali Temple to search inside and outside Shanhaizhai without warning. Although it was late at night, many people came to watch the fun because of the loud noise.

Shanhaizhai, that is the existence that many people are vying to make friends with, and is tacitly accepted by the imperial court.

"Sir, we found these."

An official took out a few wooden boxes, which contained maps of multiple countries, especially the map of Nanxiao, which also marked the armament points and food and grass camps in various places.

"And these, this is not something of my Nanxiao country."

Even the secretary of Dali Temple participated in it. He found many peculiarly carved bottles and jars and some jewelry, which were obviously not from Nanxiao Kingdom.

"Sir, these...are these human skins or not, we still need to take them back for identification."

Many things were found, even several rooms with organs.

"Take it all back."

Chang Yuan took a closer look, his eyes were already full of turbulent waves, and at the same time, he was more and more determined in his heart, he must investigate such a threat to the security of Nanxiao to get to the bottom of it!
