The secret guard pointed outside and said, "There are so many people. The good guys are out of control and they are all fighting. Your Majesty, we don't have enough manpower."

"Retrieve people from the Dali Temple. If that doesn't work, transfer people from the military camp. No matter what, we have to suppress the matter first." Xie Jingrui ordered calmly.

The secret guard shook his head. "The Dali Temple is in chaos. Most of the people inside were poisoned by Gu some time ago, and now the Gu worms have grown in their bodies."

"Your Highness, these are medicines. Taking them can keep you peaceful and calm for a day." The secret guard handed the only two pills to Xie Jingrui.

Xie Jingrui wanted to reach out to take it.

However, Liu Yueru saw a black liquid on the pill.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she quickly pulled Xie Jingrui's hand back, then gently shook her head at Xie Jingrui.

"We have medicine. You can keep this pill for yourself."

Liu Zhengtang, who was silent on the side, suddenly had a distorted expression on his face, and said to Liu Yueru in a hoarse voice, "Yue'er, run!"

The words fell.

The secret guard who had come in to report suddenly rushed towards Xie Jingrui with a pill in his hand, trying to stuff it into his mouth.

Xie Jingrui raised his foot and kicked the other person hard to the side.

The secret guard's head hit the pillar and he passed out.

Xie Jingrui took the pills and threw one into his mouth. After he was fully awake, Xie Jingrui then told Liu Zhengtang, "These pills are antidotes that can be suppressed. If you find something wrong, take one of them immediately. Also, don't trust anyone. Big Brother will be back soon, and the Gu Po is on the way too."

Liu Zhengtang nodded and looked at Liu Yueru with concern. "Yue'er, it's not safe here anymore. You can't come here again."

Then, he said to Xie Jingrui, "I know how much you love Yue'er. Take good care of yourself and help me take good care of her. Thank you."

After saying that, Liu Zhengtang sat back in the corner and asked them to leave quickly.

Xie Jingrui took Liu Yueru away.

When I went outside, I saw that the people on the street were dazed and staggering, and all the shops on the street were closed.

He carried Liu Yueru to a high place.

He placed his thumb and index finger on his lips and blew into the distance.

After waiting for a long time, a secret guard finally came back.

At this moment, he was in a disheveled state. This was the first time Liu Yueru had seen the usually heroic secret guard in such a state.

Xie Jingrui also realized the seriousness of the matter and said to the secret guards, "Distribute these medicines and use all means to detain those people first."

Liu Yueru suddenly remembered something and said to Xie Jingrui, "We can't send all the troops out. Maybe this is exactly what those people want to see. They may be waiting for us to come up with this countermeasure."

The secret guard was in a dilemma for a moment. "If we can't send out all the people we can mobilize, the city of Kyoto is already in chaos. It will be difficult to handle. If it's too late, those people will start running towards the palace, which will only make the situation worse."

After being reminded by Liu Yueru, Xie Jingrui remembered something. He lowered his voice and whispered something to the secret guard's ear. The secret guard's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

After the secret guard left.

Liu Yueru suddenly thought of the chaos in Kyoto now, and her elder brother had also arrived in Kyoto. She looked at Xie Jingrui with a worried look on her face; "Brother doesn't have many people with him. If those people take action now, I'm afraid they won't let you come back safely."

"We have already sent people to arrange a lot of secret guards along the way they are coming back. If anything happens, someone will naturally take action. Don't worry too much. Those people also brought the latest weapons." Xie Jingrui put a veil on Liu Yueru and said to her.

She suddenly asked in surprise, "Did Li Jiangyan make the gunpowder?"

Xie Jingrui nodded slightly; "It was just tested a few days ago. We tried it many times and it was successful every time. Now we have started to develop a large number of them and give them to some troops for use."

"Perhaps because of this, the spies in the northern border became anxious, so they used this method to disrupt the situation in Kyoto."

Liu Yueru could not hide the shock on her face, she thought that Li Jiangyan could make those things, but she didn't expect the speed to be so fast.

It hasn't been long since the last explosion. At that time, it was just a prototype, but now it has been officially put into use.

She thought of the toys that Jin'er played with when she went to Japan that day. They were very delicate and could be held in her hands. Yan'er said that it would be great if she could stuff a small piece of gunpowder into them.

It should make a good weapon.

Liu Yueru thought about it and said what was in her mind. Xie Jingrui also seemed to be thinking about something after listening.

He nodded in agreement, "Send someone to buy that thing back tomorrow and send it to Li Jiangyan to see if it can be of any use."

"Yes." Liu Yueru responded in a calm voice.

But when he lowered his eyes, he saw that the people below were fighting more and more fiercely, and their bodies were covered in blood.

Not long after.

The secret guards brought soldiers wearing different uniforms from not far away.

He quickly raised his hands and struck at the back of their heads. They soon fainted. The remaining soldiers tied them up. The cells were now full.

There was no extra room for each of those people.

Liu Yueru looked at the officers and soldiers serving in her elder brother’s military camp.

She asked in confusion, "The military tokens in the eldest brother's hand are in the second brother's hand, how can you mobilize those people?"

Xie Jingrui raised his hand, put his index finger to his lips, and made a gesture to keep quiet.

Then, he leaned close to Liu Yueru and whispered in her ear, "This is called inviting someone into a trap!"

Liu Yueru understood what was going on as she looked at the officers and soldiers in various uniforms, representing the different teams in Kyoto City.

He looked at Xie Jingrui; "Are you ready to catch them all in one fell swoop?"

"Yes." Xie Jingrui's voice became deeper and deeper.

The riot in Kyoto was quickly quelled.

But after the sun went down, the streets of Kyoto were eerily quiet. The night watchmen carried lanterns and walked the streets carefully, shouting, "It's dry, be careful with fire..."

The cold autumn wind blew so hard that the night watchman had to pull his clothes tighter and tighter.

He didn't know if it was because of the cold weather or the night watchman's fear, but he only felt a gust of cold wind behind him.

Keep looking behind you.

I looked again and again, but there was still no one behind me.

The night watchman straightened his clothes and quickened his pace.

But the coldness did not diminish at all.

As his pace quickened, he suddenly heard the sounds of hurried footsteps behind him.

The night watchman was startled, turned around suddenly, and his face turned pale instantly.

"Ah! Ghost!" He threw the lantern in his hand into the air carelessly, and ran away with his hands on his trouser pockets...
