Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 431, give up! (two more)

Tonight, the streets of Beijing are extraordinarily lively. This liveliness is different from the hustle and bustle of ordinary bustling cities.

The remote and inconspicuous small alleys are still dark and quiet, even quieter than usual. People hid at home early and turned off the lights. Several prosperous streets and some important places were surrounded by soldiers and horses with live ammunition. Seen from a distance, there are rows of sculptures on both sides of the street. Hearing the sound of guns and fires rising and falling in the distance, the noise was unnerving.

Prince Mu's mansion was also under martial law, so Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng couldn't openly drive their cars to the gate. In the end, they could only park the car some distance from Prince Mu's mansion, leaving Fu Yucheng and Jiang Zhan in the car, and Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng sneaked into Prince Mu's mansion together.

Watching the backs of the two disappear into the night, and listening to the faint sound of gunshots in the distance, Fu Yucheng suddenly shuddered and turned to look at Jiang Zhan who was sitting in the driver's seat, "Brother Jiang, Are you afraid?"

Jiang Zhan gave him a strange look and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

Fu Yucheng pointed to the outside, looked around, and for a while did not know how to describe it.

Jiang Zhan seemed to understand what he wanted to say, and said indifferently, "There's nothing to be afraid of. We'll know when the Fourth Young Master actually goes to the battlefield."

Fu Yucheng wanted to say that he had actually been on the battlefield, when he was in Naga. But it's a completely different feeling than in Naga, more dreary and more disturbing.

But seeing Jiang Zhan's meaning obviously disagrees, Fu Yucheng said in a low voice, "I don't want to fight."

Jiang Zhan glanced at Fu Yucheng with a strange look, the young master of the Fu family doesn't want to fight? Now is not the time for world peace.

Fu Yucheng scratched his head irritably and said, "Anyway, with Big Brother here, it doesn't matter if I can fight or not? I think it's better for me to do something else."

Jiang Zhan asked, "What do you want to do?"

"..." Fu Yucheng was stunned for a while, and then said slyly, "I don't know." He was born a young master. What can be done?

The defense outside Prince Mu's mansion is far less strict than that of Prince An's mansion. Basically, as long as the people of Prince Mu's mansion don't go out, no one goes in and the people outside don't care about anything.

Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng easily infiltrated Prince Mu's mansion, and they successfully met Prince Mu in the study room of the mansion.

Prince Mu sat behind the desk, with one hand rubbing the jade pendant in his hand with a complicated expression on his face.

Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng naturally didn't know what this jade pendant meant, so they didn't speak in a hurry.

After a long time, Prince Mu sighed and said, "Finally, we have come to this point."

Seeing the puzzled faces of the two young people in front of him, Prince Mu said with a wry smile, "Back then...Prince An originally wanted to cede the throne to me."

Fu Fengcheng said, "Your Highness refused?"

Prince Mu nodded and said, "Yes, it's not a good thing to sit in such a position, and there is no joy at all. According to my opinion, there should be no Zen seat in the past, and Prince An directly abdicated those so-called What should the rebel army love to do? Even if the human head is beaten into a dog's head, what does it matter to us?"

Fu Fengcheng calmly said, "Prince An wants to protect the Xiao clan, and does not want all parties to fight at that time?" If Prince An abdicates directly, it is difficult to say what will happen to the Xiao royal family. Retaining the name of a royal family can at least ensure the safety of many people and bring things down as quickly as possible.

"Isn't it? You said that he was an emperor who was forced to abdicate, so why did he think so much? In the past dynasties, which one did not lose the throne to the country and ruined the palace and ruined the family? He wants to be comprehensive." Prince Mu He sighed, "But it is precisely because of his actions that day that we have passed nearly 30 years in peace. It's almost the same."

Prince Mu spread out the jade pendant in his hand and said, "Do you two know what he means?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "Please advise Wang Ye."

Prince Mu said, "He is going to give up the Xiao royal family. This is the token of the Xiao family patriarch. It has always been in the hands of the emperor or the most virtuous person in the clan. When he was in the Zen throne, he was in charge of the palace. As long as the throne can be safely passed to the third generation, the jade pendant will be returned to them in fifty years."

Leng Sa is a little curious, "Why the third generation?"

Prince Mu said with a smile, "The one in the palace had just turned 30 at the time. The Xiao family has never been short-lived. As long as there is no accident, the third generation will succeed at least fifty years later. At that time, the royal family will only need If it is not destroyed, it should be what Prince An originally expected."

Leng Sa continued to ask, "Then now?"

Prince Mu looked solemn, "Tomorrow morning, I and the remaining princes of the clan will jointly issue a telegram, and the Xiao family will give up the status of the royal clan and become an ordinary Anxia citizen."

After hesitating for a while, Prince Mu looked at the two and said: "This does not include the royal family, and I am afraid that some people will not cooperate. Those people will be expelled from the clan, and they can no longer claim to be the direct line of the Xiao family in the future."

Fu Fengcheng pondered for a moment, then said solemnly, "The Fu family will announce the power on in the official name of the six southern provinces to ensure the safety of the Xiao clan who have left the royal family. Whether they want to move to the south or go abroad, the Fu family will do their best to help."

Prince Mu breathed a sigh of relief, the smile on his face became more sincere, and said with a smile: "Prince An entrusted things to the two of you, and you really did not see the wrong person. This king is very grateful to Master Fu."

Many people have been unable to sleep that night, but the morning will come.

Leng Sa and his party did not return to the heavily guarded Fu Mansion until after three in the morning. Leng Sa was forced to return to his room to rest, but Master Fu himself convened the meeting to continue.

That's the case, Leng Sa also woke up less than three hours after being woken up by the sound of artillery fire in the distance.

As soon as I got up and walked out of the room, I saw Lan Jing coming over with a pale face, "Young Madam, are you awake?"

Leng Sa nodded, looked at the thick shadow under Lan Jing's eyes and asked, "Did you sleep well?"

Lan Jing sighed and nodded in frustration.

Leng Sa patted her shoulder and comforted, "Don't be afraid, it will be all right soon. Where's Fu Fengcheng?"

Lan Jing said, "Young Master and Young Master Long are still talking downstairs."

Leng Sa turned around and went downstairs. Sure enough, he saw a lot of people sitting in the hall. There are a few Long Yue who Leng Sa knows, and a few Leng Sa who don't. Seeing Leng Sa coming down from the upstairs, the people who were still in the heated discussion all stopped their mouths in unison, and looked at the woman who came down from the upstairs.

Leng Sa stepped down and said apologetically, "Did I bother you?"

Long Yue said with a smile, "How could it be? Mrs. Fu Shao came just in time, why don't we listen to it together."

Leng Sa looked at Fu Fengcheng, and Fu Fengcheng nodded to her before she walked into the hall and sat down beside Fu Fengcheng.

Leng Sa looked around at the few people sitting opposite. It seemed that everyone stayed up all night. Whether it was a handsome young marshal or a well-dressed nobleman, they all seemed a bit tired at the moment. .

Zhang Jingzhi's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes, and her face was a little pale, "Young Master Zhang is not feeling well?"

Long Yue slightly hooked his lips and smiled, "It's okay, Zhang Shao was probably scared."

"..." Leng Sa was speechless, Zhang Shao is not a timid person. Although he is a literati, he does not change his face in the face of the battlefield. What kind of Shura scene can he be scared by?

Zhang Jingzhi seemed to remember something bad and couldn't help but glance at Long Yue and frowned.

Su Ze, who was standing at the back, said, "Young Madam, Long Shao killed a rebel general."

Leng Sa stared at the soup he just held in his hands, a little unsure whether to drink it or not.

Long Shao looked at the appearance of an elite young man, and he was unequivocal. Should it be said that he is the young marshal of the four northern provinces?

Long Yue said dissatisfiedly, "Don't slander me, as if it was my own hands?"

Su Ze thought to himself, does this make any difference? Anyway, that unfortunate ghost doesn't have a few pieces of meat left on his body now.

Lou Lanzhou saw that Zhang Jingzhi was really about to vomit, and immediately tapped on the table to change the subject, "Everyone, let's talk about business first."

Others immediately followed suit, Long Yue said, "Except for a very small number of places in the city center, all of them are occupied by rebels. In our hands, apart from the police and some scattered forces who have hardly fought, the Lou Jiajun has Half of them were blocked outside the city. The Fifth Army..."

Lou Lanzhou said, "I just received news that General Yuan Lu of the Fifth Army has agreed to send troops, but he will not arrive until tonight at the earliest. The Second Army and the Seventh Army are stationed near Mocheng, which is close to the border. It can't be easily mobilized, and even if you want to do it, it's too late. The 3rd and 4th corps... don't make any statement when they don't move. It seems that they want to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."

"So... the opponent is the sixth, eighth and a small number of the fifth army, and we currently only have half the Lou family army, and... a scattered team of no more than 3,000 people who have never fought at all?" Leng Sa said. .

Lou Lanzhou smiled bitterly, "The young lady summed it up very well, and the other party occupies the most central position, controlling most of the cabinet officials and military generals. We not only have no soldiers, but also no generals."

"..." This is a great situation.

"Young Master, today's newspaper." The butler came in, brought up a newspaper and then bowed down.

Despite the chaos in the capital, the newspapers are still published as usual.

Today's front page is the strange situation in the capital yesterday. As for the speculation and conjecture about the situation, there is no value for reference and discussion.

The second edition is a huge statement. The An Xia royal clan headed by Prince An and Prince Mu jointly announced that the clan has made little contribution to An Xia in the past 30 years, but has spent a lot of money. From today onwards, the direct line of the Xiao family will no longer identify as a royal family. Permanently give up the right to inherit the throne and all royal privileges and become a member of the ordinary people of Anxia.

In fact, everyone present already knew about this news. An hour ago, Prince Mu's mansion had already announced the news to the entire Anxia.

Not only the capital city, but all places that can receive news thousands of miles away already know about it. Just looking at the statement in black and white on the newspaper, which also included a signed photo, and the names of Xiao surnames on it all represented the former royal family.

Leng Sa found that there was no Muze Palace on it. It seemed that although Muze Palace had been hit hard before, he still had a firm belief in himself.

Everyone casually flipped through the newspaper and put it aside, Long Yue said, "The Fu family's statement, our Long family also counts."

Lou Lanzhou nodded and said, "The Lou family is also included."

Zhang Jingzhi was silent. It wasn't because he had any opinions, but the Zhang family was not up to him now. After that, whether the Zhang family can still have a chance to call the shots, there is a question mark.

Fu Fengcheng nodded and turned back to Xu Shaoming who was standing on the side, "Send a message."

Xu Shaoming nodded respectfully and said yes, and the adjutant standing behind Long Yue and Lou Lanzhou also went out with Xu Shaoming under the signal of his eldest son.

Since the Xiao family expressed their attitude at this time, they naturally have to reciprocate.

Although this statement does not contain the family in the palace today, the throne in the palace is given by Prince An, and Prince An has already announced that the direct line has given up the royal family status. The location also seems a little less justifiable.

Although this will not have any actual impact on the situation, the psychological impact on the soldiers and ordinary people at the middle and lower levels should not be underestimated.

Leng Sa asked, "What are you going to do now? Do you have to wait for reinforcements from the Fifth Army to arrive?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "Brother Long and I lead people to block the area in the city center, at least not allow them to occupy more places, and the rebels in other areas will be cleared one by one. Brother Lou, the Fifth Army may need someone to respond. ."

He and Long Yue have no available people in the capital, so now they can only rely on the building.

Lou Lanzhou nodded and said, "Brother Fu, don't worry, I will arrange someone to take care of General Yuan."

Fu Fengcheng nodded and looked at Zhang Jingzhi, "Master Zhang, over there in the palace..."

Zhang Jingzhi said, "If everything goes well, the third prince can leave the palace before noon."

Long Yue raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did you get Xiao Yiran out at this time?"

Fu Fengcheng said, "Xiao Yiran has been in the capital for many years and is more familiar with the situation than you and me."

Long Yue said: "Are you sure Xiao Yiran will be on our side? He is the future crown prince."

Fu Fengcheng said, "Although he often pretends to be crazy, he is a smart person. He doesn't know that even if those people succeed, their fate will not be good."

Long Yue touched his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's right, Ren Nanyan couldn't have fought so hard just to grab the throne for the Xiao family, right? The man in the palace is not his long-lost son."

Fu Fengcheng said, "Then, everyone, prepare and do your own thing."

"Wait." Long Yue said solemnly, "There is one more question."

Other people looked at Long Shao, Long Yue asked, "Don't forget, everyone, Sun Liang is still in the capital. He didn't move last night, so he has to find someone to watch him." Although there are not many horses, it is also a big trouble.

Leng Sa said, "Leave it to me."

Others looked at her and asked coldly, "Can you kill him?"

Others looked at each other, Long Yue said with a smile, "Although it is best not to use a knife or a gun, but if Governor Sun is really unwilling to cooperate, then we have no choice but to apologize to him. In an emergency, Just follow your right.”

Leng Sa nodded, "No problem."

Seeing Fu Fengcheng staring at him, he smiled coldly and said, "Don't worry, I won't take any risks."

Fu Fengcheng didn't say much, just held her hand and nodded, "Be careful."

Fu Fengcheng and others went out quickly, Leng Sa slowly finished the breakfast served by Yuan Ying before standing up to greet Fu Yucheng and Jiang Zhan who were waiting, "Let's go!"

Fu Yucheng asked, "Where are you going?"

Leng Sa said, "Jiang Zhan, you go to the vicinity of Sun's mansion to watch first, and Sun Liang will report anything at any time. Let's go to a place first."

Jiang Zhan's eyebrows jumped, "Young madam, where are you going?" He promised the young master to protect the young madam's safety.

Smiles coldly, "Don't worry, what's the danger in seeing a person who is half paralyzed?"

"..." The young lady still knows this kind of friend?

Fu Yucheng suddenly understood, his face changed slightly, and he stared at Leng Sa and said, "Are you going to find... that He Rufeng?"

Although he didn't get along with He Rufeng for a long time, he firmly understood that it was a pervert. "What are you going to do with him?"

Leng Sa nodded and said, "While he is sick, he will die. Don't you think he has lived too long?"

"..." Fu Si Shao was silent, he actually felt that he couldn't refute.

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows at him and asked, "Why? Not going?"

Fu Yucheng gritted his teeth, "Go!"
