Being a Lady of an Influential Family

The streets of the capital are extremely lively tonight, and this kind of excitement is different from the hustle and bustle of an ordinary bustling city.

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 bustling streets and some important places were surrounded by soldiers and horses with live ammunition. From a distance, it looks like there are rows of sculptures on both sides of the street. Listening to the sound of guns and fires rising and falling in the distance, the noise is so noisy that it makes people feel uneasy.

Martial law had also been imposed in front of Prince Mu's mansion, so Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng naturally couldn't openly drive their car towards the gate. In the end, he could only park the car some distance away from Prince Mu's mansion, leaving Fu Yucheng and Jiang Zhan in the car, Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng sneaked into Prince Mu's mansion together.

Seeing the two people's backs disappear into the night, and hearing the faint 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, and then looked around, for a moment he didn't know how to describe it.

Jiang Zhan seemed to understand what he wanted to say, and said indifferently, "There is nothing to be afraid of. You will know when Fourth Young Master has actually been on the battlefield."

Fu Yucheng wanted to say that he had actually been on the battlefield, when he was in Naga. But this is a completely different feeling from the time in Naga, more dull and disturbing.

But seeing what Jiang Zhan meant, he obviously didn't agree with it, so Fu Yucheng whispered depressed, "I don't want to fight."

Jiang Zhan gave Fu Yucheng a strange look, the young master of the Fu family doesn't want to fight? It is not yet the time for peace in the world.

Fu Yucheng scratched his head a little irritably and said, "Anyway, with the elder brother here, it doesn't matter if I can fight or not, right? I think I'm suitable for doing something else."

Jiang Zhan asked, "What does Fourth Young Master want to do?"

"..." Fu Yucheng was stunned for a long while, and said a little embarrassingly, "I don't know." He was born to be a young master. He used to have high ambitions but was slapped in the face by reality, so he didn't know what he could do. ?

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

Leng Sa and Fu Fengcheng sneaked into Prince Mu's mansion easily, and successfully met Prince Mu in the study of the mansion.

Prince Mu was sitting behind the desk, rubbing the jade pendant with one hand, with a complex expression on his face.

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

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 smiled wryly, "Back then...Prince An originally wanted to give up the throne to me."

Fu Fengcheng said, "The prince refused?"

Prince Mu nodded and said, "Yes, it's not a good thing to sit in such a position, and there is no joy to speak of. According to my opinion, there should be no Zen position back then. Prince An directly abdicated those so-called rebels. Do whatever you want. Even if the human head is beaten into a dog's head, what does it matter to us?"

Fu Fengcheng said calmly, "Prince An hopes to preserve the Xiao clan, and doesn't want all parties to go to war at that time?" If Prince An abdicates directly, it is hard to say what will happen to the Xiao royal family. Retaining the name of the royal family can at least ensure the safety of many people and suppress things as quickly as possible.

"Isn't it? You said that he is an emperor who was forced to abdicate, what is he thinking so much about? In the past dynasties, which one did not lose the throne without destroying the country, destroying the palace, ruining the family and destroying people? But he wants to be comprehensive." Prince Mu sighed, "However, it was precisely because of what he did that day that we people lived in peace for nearly thirty years. 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, "My lord please advise."

Prince Mu said, "He is going to give up the Xiao family's royal family. This is the token of the head of the Xiao family. It has always been in the hands of the emperor or the most respected person in the clan. He made an agreement with the person in the palace when he was in Zen. As long as the throne can pass safely to the third generation, the jade pendant will be returned to them fifty years later."

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

Prince Mu said with a smile, "The one in the palace had just turned 30 at that time. The Xiao family has never been short-lived. As long as there are no accidents, the third generation will take the throne at least 50 years later. As long as the royal family is still alive , it should be what Prince An originally expected."

Leng Sa continued to ask, "Then now?"

Prince Mu looked solemn, "Tomorrow morning, the rest of the clan princes and I will jointly issue a telegram. From then on, the Xiao family will give up their royal clan status and become ordinary Anxia citizens."

After hesitating for a while, Prince Mu looked at the two of them 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 will no longer be able to claim themselves as the direct descendants of the Xiao family."

Fu Fengcheng thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "The Fu family will issue a telegram in the name of the officials of the six southern provinces to ensure the safety of the Xiao clan members who have left the royal family. Whether they want to move to the south or go abroad, the Fu family will fully help them."

Prince Mu heaved a sigh of relief, and the smile on his face became more sincere. He said with a smile: "Prince An entrusted the things to the two, and he really did not misunderstand the person. My king thank you, Young Master Fu."

Many people failed to fall asleep this night, but morning will come after all.

Leng Sa and his party didn't return to the heavily guarded Fu mansion until after three o'clock in the morning. Leng Sa was forced to go back to the room to rest, but Young Master Fu called people to continue the meeting.

If so, Leng Sa also slept for less than three hours before being awakened by the sound of gunfire in the distance.

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

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

Lan Jing sighed and nodded in frustration.

Leng Sa patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, you'll be fine soon. Where's Fu Fengcheng?"

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

Leng Sa turned and went downstairs, and sure enough, she saw many people sitting in the hall. There are Long Yue and a few that Leng Sa knows, and there are a few that Leng Sa doesn't know. Seeing Leng Sa coming down the stairs, the people who were still discussing fiercely stopped talking at the same time, and looked at the woman who came down the stairs in unison.

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

Long Yue smiled and said, "How come? Mrs. Fu came just in time, why don't you 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 hadn't slept all night. Whether it was the handsome and handsome young man or the well-dressed nobleman in the past, they all looked a little tired at the moment.

Zhang Jingzhi's eyes were bloodshot even more, and his face was a little pale, "Master Zhang is not feeling well?"

Long Yue slightly hooked his lips and smiled, "It's okay, Young Master Zhang must have been frightened."

"..." Leng Sa was speechless, Young Master Zhang was not a timid person. Although he is a literati, he does not change his expression when facing the battlefield. What kind of Shura scene is it to be scared?

Zhang Jingzhi seemed to think of something bad, couldn't help but glanced at Long Yue and frowned.

Su Ze who was standing behind said, "Young Madam, Young Master Long cut a rebel general to pieces."

Leng Sa stared down at the soup she just held in her hand, a little unsure whether to drink it or not.

Long Shao looked at the appearance of an elite youth who was the proud son of heaven, but he was unambiguous in his attack. Should it be said that he is the young marshal of the four northern provinces?

Long Yue said dissatisfied, "Stop slandering me, as if I did it myself?"

Su Ze thought to himself, is there any difference? Anyway, that unlucky 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 get down to business first."

The others immediately followed suit, Long Yue said, "Except for a very few places in the downtown area, all of them are occupied by rebels. In our hands, except for the police who have hardly fought and some scattered forces, half of the Lou Family Army is blocked." Outside the city. 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 arrive at the earliest tonight. The Second Army and the Seventh Army are stationed near Mocheng, where they cannot be easily moved near the border. , and even if they wanted to move, it was too late. The Third and Fourth Armies... stood still and did not make any statement, 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 part of the Fifth Army, and we currently only have half of 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 wryly, "Young Madam summed it up very well. Moreover, the opponent 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 situation is really great.

"Young master, today's newspaper." The butler came in, brought up a newspaper and bowed to leave.

Although the capital was in chaos, newspapers were still issued as usual.

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

The second edition is a huge statement. The Anxia royal family headed by Prince An and Mu jointly announced that the clan has made little contribution to Anxia in the past 30 years but has spent a lot of money. The direct line of the clan will no longer regard itself as the royal clan. Permanently renounce the right of succession to the throne and all royal privileges, and become a member of the common people in Anxia.

In fact, everyone present already knew the news. An hour ago, Prince Mu's mansion had clearly energized the whole Anxia to announce the news.

Not only the capital, but even thousands of miles away, all the places that can receive the news already know about this matter. He just looked at the statement in black and white on the newspaper, and there was also a signed photo attached to it, each of the names surnamed Xiao on it represented each of the former royal nobles.

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

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

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

Zhang Jingzhi remained silent, not that he had any opinions, but that the Zhang family still didn't let him decide. Whether or not the Zhang family will have the chance to make decisions afterwards is a question mark.

Fu Fengcheng nodded, turned his head and said to Xu Shaoming who was standing aside, "Send a message."

Xu Shaoming nodded respectfully and said yes, and the adjutant who stood behind Long Yue and Lou Lanzhou also followed Xu Shaoming out with the direction of his young master.

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

Although this statement does not include the current family in the palace, the throne in the palace was given by Prince An, and Prince An has already announced that his direct descendants have given up the status of the royal family. To a certain extent, the position of His Majesty in the palace is also It seemed a little unjustifiable.

Although this will not have any practical impact on the situation, the psychological impact on the middle and lower class soldiers and ordinary people cannot be underestimated.

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

Fu Fengcheng said, "Brother Long and I led people to blockade the area in the city center, at least not allowing 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."

Neither he nor Long Yue had anyone available in the capital, so now they could only rely on the number of buildings.

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

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

Zhang Jingzhi said, "It's been arranged. 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 I."

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 actually a smart person. He must 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 can't have risked his life just to grab the throne for the Xiao family, right? The one in the palace is not his long-lost son."

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

"Wait." Long Yue said in a deep voice, "There is one more question."

Others looked at Young Master Long, and Long Yue asked, "Everyone, don't forget, Sun Liang is still in the capital. He has been quiet last night, so we need to find someone to watch him." Many, but also a big trouble.

Leng Sa said, "Leave it to me."

The others looked at her one after another, and Leng Sa asked, "Can you kill him?"

The others looked at each other, and Long Yue smiled and said, "Although it is best not to use knives and guns, if Dujun Sun really refuses to cooperate, then we have no choice but to feel sorry for him. Emergency, urgent Right."

Leng Sa nodded, "No problem."

Seeing Fu Fengcheng staring at her from the side, Leng Sa smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't take any risks."

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

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

Fu Yucheng asked, "Where are you going?"

Leng Sa said, "Jiang Zhan, go to Sun's mansion first and keep an eye on it. Sun Liang will report any situation at any time. Let's go to a place first."

Jiang Zhan's eyebrows twitched involuntarily, "Young lady, where are you going?" He promised the young lady to protect the safety of the young lady.

Leng Sa smiled and said, "Don't worry, what's the danger in going to see a paraplegic?"

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

But Fu Yucheng suddenly understood, his expression changed slightly, 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 he was a pervert. "What did you go to him for?"

Leng Sa nodded and said, "Take advantage of his illness to kill him. Don't you think he lived too long?"

"..." Fourth Young Master Fu was silent, he actually felt a little irrefutable.

Leng Sa raised her eyebrows and looked at him and asked, "What? Don't you go?"

Fu Yucheng gritted his teeth and said, "Go!"
