After the sun completely set, the full moon hanging in the sky in the east became brighter. Under the full moon, the mountains, rivers, forests, houses, hills and terraces were all bathed in the milky white moonlight, and the world was white. If it weren't for anything, the gate of Yingdu was closed at dusk every day and opened at dawn every day. Today, assassins appeared in the city, and the gate was closed before the dusk was reached.

On the six-meter-high city wall, Gui Jing, the official guarding the east gate, was absent-minded and stared at the round moon. The Gui family was a Duke of Chu, and his ancestor was a king and Chu before King Wu of Chu. However, after hundreds of years of reproduction, the Gui family had tens of thousands of tribes. His side branches, such as his side branches and side branches..., were not even qualified to enter the public school. After spending most of his family's savings and asking all the relatives he could get, he became a city gate official and could only be on duty at night.

Hun is the janitor. At first, it was a temple or a surrendered general. Later, there were more and more children of the princes. Except for the inner door of the bedroom, the others gradually became full-time jobs in the side of the princes. However, there were few children of the princes taking office in this kind of hard work of guarding the city gate. After all, it was difficult to be appreciated by nobles and basically could not make a name for themselves.

"I heard that the king will recover from sleep next month..." Gui Jing looked at the moon in a daze, and the little officials below began to mutter in boredom. After all, the long night was long.

"Yes, the saint king came to the world and tasted hundreds of herbs personally to refine a magical medicine for the king that can cure all diseases." Someone knows everything.

"Can all diseases be cured?" Legends with a bit of mythology always make people yearn for it, let alone magical medicine.

"Yes, the king takes magic medicine every day, and his heart disease will be cured one day." The little official who knew everything was a little louder, and he was happy that the king's heart disease could be cured.

"Cough cough..." Gui Jing coughed and couldn't help but silence. "This..., can you tell what is the magic medicine made?"

Gui Jing’s problem is puzzled, but ‘know everything’ is still a bow: “The villain doesn’t know, but he only heard that the magical medicine is refined by 7749 kinds of immortal herbs in the palace, which is extremely precious. The villain is willing to inquire about this for Shangguan…”

"No need." The palace has 77 to 49 kinds of immortal herbs, not to mention 49 kinds, even Gui Jing can't afford it.

Shangguan asked at the beginning and stopped hearing, and the person also went elsewhere. When he went, a little official who was a little informed laughed: "Shangguan must have wanted to treat the lunar month in the girl city. I heard that this girl had lung disease before the age of 1980..."

"Ji Yue?" Shangguan, who had an impeccable family background and appearance, actually fell in love with the most popular actor in the women's city.

"That's right." The little official looked around and saw that no one around said again: "Can you see Shangguan's jade horse in the past few days? You're gone. Yesterday I went to the market and saw that this horse has become the horse of the head of the Xianfu family..."

"Yuanma?" The Yuanma is the horse that pulls the cart. The extremely majestic Jade Chau horse went to pull the cart, and everyone couldn't help but feel a pity.

"Silence!" In the regret of his mouth, a small official outside seemed to hear some sound, but it was not true. "There was a sound, I don't know whose car was the driver." He pointed in a direction, which was outside the city, and the official road covered with stone slabs under the moonlight was as white as snow.

"Ah!" It's okay if you don't listen, but everyone changes color when you hear it. Whose car is this? These are countless car riders. "Hurry! Beat the drum quickly to warn. Report to Shangguan quickly."

There are horn drums every three miles of the city wall, and at this time, you can not only hear the sound of cars and horses roaring on the official road, but also see a black torrent swallowing the snow-white official road, getting closer and closer to Yingdu. Amid the sound of drums, Gui Jing rushed over and shouted, "Who is playing the drum?"

"Tell Shangguan that an army is coming under the city." The little official's vest was full of sweat. Since he moved the capital, no army has ever rushed to Yingdu at night.

"Are an army attacking?" The drum sounds were no longer heard from the city. When Gui Jing looked at the city, he immediately took a breath. The city was covered with soldiers and horses, and there were ladders and rushing cars in the queue. What's wrong? Could it be the Qin army?!

Gui Jing knew why the Chu State moved its capital to the common people, but he knew it. The high-ranking officials and nobles were all guessing how long the Chu State could last. Some people said that Han and Wei were safe before they destroyed the Great Chu, and they would be safe for at least a hundred years; some people said that the Chu State was weak and the Qin State was brave, so they would go down the river and seize the way for Chu State's retreat, which was within these twenty or thirty years. Although the opinions were different, their attitudes were the same: Chu State was about to finish it.

Until Xiong Jing was made the crown prince, various behaviors made people, especially young people, who believed that he could become king, and that he could revive Chu again. Gui Jing did not think that Chu was alone, and that his origins made him know many unknown hidden stories, while the identity of the side branches made him feel the pedantic nature of noble people and the greed of officials. Whenever he heard people talking about state affairs, he would sigh and then look at the sky. Fortunately, the sky was at least blue.

The city may be that the Qin army was the idea that Gui Jing was the one who was the one who was Gui Jing, but fortunately his second reaction was quite rational: this is the East Gate, and even if the Qin army came, it would not be possible to stand at the East Gate. Sure enough, the torches lit up in the strict array of the city under the city, and someone shouted: "I am the left general of the king. Jing Hua, the left general, will take over the defense of Yingdu City by the king. The officials in the city will quickly open the city gate."

"Jing Hua?" Jing Hua was the nephew of Mo Ao Jingyang, who hanged himself four years ago in Zijin Mountain. He followed Jing Yang to Zijin Mountain. The army led more than 30 people, and he was the only one who lived alone. He heard his name, Gui Jing believed it three points, and he replied loudly: "If General Jing has a king's order, he will naturally be without any blame. However, the moonlight is unclear, and it is difficult for the subordinate officials to distinguish the king's appearance, and he will not see the king's order, so he dare not open the city gate lightly."

"Anyone who does not respect the king's order can be killed, open the door immediately!" Another voice shouted, maybe it was a military leader.

"Guarding the city gate is where Gui Jing's position is. It is difficult to distinguish the king's appearance. If you don't see the king's order, you will not dare to obey your order." Most of the drums in other places on the city wall stopped. Gui Jing felt that what the city said was true, and he still did not dare to open the door rashly.

"The king has an order, open the city gate! The king has an order, open the city gate!" On the inside of the city gate, a fast horse galloped towards him. The knight on the horse shouted the king's order, which made people feel relieved and even more heart-warming: the king and his soldiers were equipped with armor and armor, and they also brought siege equipment. Why is this? Are there chaos in Ying?

The suspension bridge was slowly laid down at the top of the city, and the city gate also creaked open. After the vanguard troops entered the city quickly, Jing Hua rode a horse and led the central army to pass by the door. Including Gui Jing, all the officials and soldiers stood by the city gate to greet him. Looking at these people, thinking of the gangster Gui Jing who refused to open the door just now, Jing Hua just sneered and stopped looking.

The drum sounds that rang through Yingdu had stopped. The soldiers of the king took over the defense of Yingdu City and the key points in the city as soon as possible. In the main bedroom, the King of Chu was lying on the bed, and Xiong Jing knelt beside him. The imperial court, Huang Xie, who had just entered the bed, was far away from the bed. Although others were lying on the bed, it was not difficult to guess what was happening outside, so he smiled and said, "Do you want to give Huang Xie white silk?"

"Why did I give you white silk?" Xiong Yuan, who was sure to win, suppressed his cough.

"..." Huang Xie said nothing, his smile faded a little, and he was calm and composed.

"What I want is that Jing'er is not harmed by thieves, cough cough..." Xiong Yuan gasped, "I don't need to worry about the assassination. I will make Doctor Zuo Yinmeng investigate this matter. Those who are guilty will be punished, and those who are not guilty will be released. There are also Shouying City Defense... cough cough..."

The royal city is under the responsibility of the King of Chu's personal guards, and the city defense of the capital has always been under the responsibility of the Lingyin Mansion. Of course, the King of Chu still needs to agree to it. On the grounds that the prince was assassinated, he completely took charge of the internal and external armed forces of Yingdu. This was Xiong Yuan's plan and something beyond the previous agreement.

"Why do you have to do this? Just take over the defense of Yingdu City and the king's order." Huang Xie was solemn and said that he only obeyed the king's order.

"I can take over Chen County with my king's order?" Xiong Yuan asked back.

Chen County (now Huaiyang, Henan) is a large county. After moving eastward, it also became the temporary capital. The county of Chu State was transformed by the destroyed vassal states, which was larger than the counties of other countries. The so-called Chen County was the former Chen State. Like other counties of the Chu State, Chen County, which had a thousand soldiers, had a thousand charities, and had sent troops to serve, and most of the kings refused to follow the orders. This trend has been like this since the establishment of a county, especially after King Huai.

Huang Xie was the ruling emperor for 25 years, and it was impossible to completely mobilize the ruling emperors of all counties and counties, but the friendship over time is getting deeper and deeper, and the county officials of the county court always sell their face. Kill Huang Xie and replace him with another ruling emperor. Not to mention whether the new ruling emperor will completely obey him. Even if there is a ruling emperor who practices reform like Wu Qi, the Chu State will be in chaos. Xiong Yuan has not had much time, so it is impossible to change.

Xiong Yuan knew this truth, and Huang Xie was also aware of it, so he was confident.

It may be possible to replace the county magistrate of Chen County by the king's order, but like Qin State, the king's power will completely intervene in the county and control everything in the county. Unless it is King Wu and King Zhuang again, no one will be able to do it. Moreover, the reforms presided over by King Dao have already given the answer.

Prince Xiong Jing and Huang Xie had a bad premonition. Not to mention that Prince is good at making utensils, it is no longer suitable for being the king of a country. Just because he is wise to others, trouble will occur in the future - the country is not a country of one person, and interests are not the interests of one family. If the king really wants the carriage of Chu to go east and west according to his own preferences, then there are only two results:

Either the only one monarch is the one who pulls the cart, and then dies, like the princes whose territory has become counties and towns of Chu; or the princes whose interests have been damaged, the nobles will attack them, kill the king and make others kings, like the ancestors who die alone in the wilderness. No matter which one, the Chu State is no longer the Chu State.

"Your Majesty is better," Huang Xie muttered unconsciously. At this time, the dormitory had been silent for a long time. He bowed again and said, "The king has the order of the king, and the eldest son is safe and sound. Please take the leave."

"Go." Xiong Yuan on the bed spoke in harmony. When Huang Xie was about to leave the dormitory, he said again: "Stop it."
