"Now that the emperor's uncle has infiltrated troops into the city defense, we can't be idle. We must restrict his troops. He cannot be allowed to control the power of the city defense army. Otherwise, we will be in some trouble."

Xiao Mobai has hidden Canglong's power in the capital, so there is no need to attack from outside the city.

It's just that the Eighth Prince unilaterally felt that Xiao Mobai would deploy his troops outside the city.

He never expected that Xiao Mobai did not use ordinary soldiers and horses, but used Jianghu forces, so naturally he did not need a lot of manpower.

But even if Xiao Mobai didn't need it, he couldn't let the Eighth Prince control the city defense army.

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange it now."

Since the master has the order, Ye Zhao must ensure that there are people from Canglong in the city defense army, and they need to be in extremely important positions.

Ye Zhao moved quickly and immediately placed several people into the city defense army. Because he has followed Xiao Mobai all year round, almost all the forces in the capital know that Ye Zhao is the prince's attendant.

So no matter where he goes, people in Beijing will give Ye Zhao a lot of respect, making it easier for him to do things.

After almost finishing today's affairs, Xiao Mobai hurried to Gu Nian's yard.

Although he was in the palace of the Crown Prince, Gu Nian also had his own yard, but Xiao Mobai often lived in Gu Nian's yard.

Originally, Gu Nian and Xiao Mobai stayed in Xiao Mobai's yard on the day of their wedding, but Xiao Mobai had been busy these days, so Gu Nian went back to his yard.

Xiao Mobai originally thought that when he came over, Gu Nian would greet him warmly, but he didn't expect that when he entered Gu Nian's yard, it was completely silent.

Xiao Mobai was suspicious and called a few times.

"Nian'er, Nian'er?"

Following Xiao Mobai's shout, someone came out quickly, but it wasn't Gu Nian.

Xiao Mobai frowned and saw a palace maid coming over to salute and greet him.

"See Your Highness."

"Where is the empress?"

"Go back to Your Highness, your Majesty has already rested."

Gu Nian was trained by Qionghua for a day. She didn't feel it when she was in Qionghua's yard. After she returned to her own yard, Gu Nian felt that she was extremely tired.

He thought about waiting for Xiao Mobai to come back, but he closed his eyes and dozed off while sitting on the chair.

Really unable to hold on to Xiao Mobai's return, Gu Nian asked a palace maid to help him wash up for the first time. In the past, when Xiao Mobai was around, Xiao Mobai would help him deal with it.

"Have a rest? So early? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiao Mobai felt a little incredible when he heard that Gu Nian had rested. I thought Gu Nian was feeling unwell.

"Back to Your Highness, after the queen came back, she felt very tired, so I asked if I would like to serve you. Your Majesty agreed, and I served you and rested."

After listening to the palace maid's report, Xiao Mobai walked towards Gu Nian's bedroom with even more steps.

Xiao Mobai was extremely worried about Gu Nian, worried that she might be sick if she took a break so early.

But when he reached the door of the bedroom, Xiao Mobai gently opened the door of the bedroom in order not to disturb Gu Nian's rest.

On the bed, Gu Nian lay there and fell asleep quietly, restlessly pressing the quilt under her body.

Her hair was spread on the red soft pillow and sheets, making Gu Nian's skin look whiter than snow.

Xiao Mobai walked to the bed and sat down, gently stroking Gu Nian's cheek with his slender fingers.

Gu Nian seemed to feel a little itchy on his face. He groaned and waved his hands, trying to wave away the troublesome things on his face.

Xiao Mobai's fingers left Gu Nian's cheek and put his palm on Gu Nian's forehead.

Feeling Gu Nian's body temperature, Xiao Mobai breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his body temperature was not high.

Feeling Xiao Mobai's warmth, Gu Nian in his sleep subconsciously pulled Xiao Mobai's palm into his own and held it in his arms.

Seeing Gu Nian's movements in one go, Xiao Mobai's face was filled with a doting smile.

Xiao Mobai let Gu Nian hold his arms and sat on the edge of the bed for a long time, motionless.

It wasn't until a long time later, when Gu Nian turned over, that he let go of Xiao Mobai's arm.

Withdrawing his numb arm, Xiao Mobai moved slightly.

Gu Nian was already asleep, and Xiao Mobai couldn't ask her why she slept so early, so he just lay next to Gu Nian.

In the capital city not far from the imperial palace, the city defense troops were stationed.

A man who looked like a general led two other soldiers into a tent in the camp.

In the tent, the same general was sitting casually, with his collar open and drinking wine.

Seeing someone walking into the tent, the general put down his wine glass and looked at the person with deep eyes.

"who are you?"

"I heard that a new general was transferred today, and I came here to take a look."

"Oh, now that you've seen it, you can leave."

It was obvious that the drinking general did not welcome the visitors and had already begun to drive them away.

However, the general who came in did not seem to intend to leave like this, but sat down opposite the general.

"Where did you get transferred from?"

"What's with you?"

"They are all people who have been in the military. You should know that if you work alone in the military, you will not get much benefit."

After the general who came over finished speaking, he looked at the general, but he seemed unmoved.

The general who came saw this and continued: "So I am here to put you within my scope."

The general seemed to be interested and looked at the visitor and raised his eyebrows.

"Oh? You and I have never met each other before. Why did you come over and bring me into your sphere of influence?"

The general who came did not go around in circles with him and answered directly.

"You just came here today, and you were able to drink quietly alone in the big tent. No one came to trouble you during this period. I guess your status must be good."

"Your observations are very detailed, but I am not interested in going into your sphere of influence."

Although he agreed with that person's point of view, he had no intention of joining anyone's camp.

He came here under the order of Lord Yezhao to disintegrate the city defense army at an important moment.

In addition to him, many Canglong brothers also came in. However, in order to prevent others from suspecting, they cannot have any contact with each other openly.

When the visitor saw that the general was not interested in his proposal, he put forward other conditions.

"If you join, I will give you a thousand gold coins to show my sincerity."

The general came over and was ordered by others to move all the people in the city defense army into his own camp.

"I'm not interested in money, you can leave."

The general saw the guests off again and asked them to leave.
