[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

Xue Xun lamented the sadness of the new year, but actually thought about how to deal with the prince's further attack after the new year.The Chinese New Year's Day sacrifices, the southern naval battles have stopped, and the war can make concessions for this, not to mention the insignificant businessman Xue Xun.

In fact, don't use normal people's thinking to understand madmen, the prince can't wait for a moment, and doesn't want Xue Xun to breathe the air of next year with him.

"What? You said refugees attacked Jinling?" Xue Xun was so surprised that he couldn't hold the teacup. How could it be?There was no wind at all.

"Master, it's too late to explain, let's talk as we walk." Jin Beast said anxiously, Xue's family is in Dongfang City of Jinling City, which has been the place where rich and noble families live together since ancient times, and the number one target of refugees.

"Send the order, activate the first-level emergency response, and retreat immediately." Xue Xun also knew that the situation was urgent, so he immediately ordered, "You coordinate in the bureau, Yinshuang is in charge of external affairs, and send a team of capable people to protect me and my wife. Dispatch the guards outside. Don’t panic, we have rehearsed, but only a few days in advance.”

Xue Xun comforted the golden beast like this, trying to convey his calm attitude to everyone. In fact, he didn't expect that the crown prince couldn't even wait for the new year when he was killed.

After a while, Zhuqing came over protecting Mrs. Xue, Xue Pan was sleeping after drinking milk, lying in Mrs. Xue's arms obediently.

"A Su, the refugees are attacking Jinling. We are going to move. I have expected it and are ready. Don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid. It's like the 'Long March' story you told me. This is called a strategic shift. It's not whoever laughs loudly is the final winner. It's only beautiful when you laugh at the end." Still calm, the hands holding the child did not shake.

Xue Xun smiled brightly, and said comfortingly, "That's right, Ah Su is really smart."

Xue Xun asked Zhuqing to take people to escort Xue Wang to go first, and moved from the entrance of the secret passage of Xue's ancestral hall to outside the city.It is normal for the Xue family to start out with secretive affairs and dig a tunnel to prevent it from happening.

It is not easy to walk on the secret road, Zhuqing asked her to come and hug Xue Pan, but Xue Wang refused. It is naturally a loyal person to be by her side at this time, but Xue Wang has already decided not to let the child leave her.Raising the child to grow up and continuing the blood of her husband, who said she is not afraid, she is just prepared for the worst.

After the prince sent the dead to attack, the old house was on the list of abandonment, but the red silk and red lanterns in the garden were wasted, and it was originally planned to leave after the New Year.

"Light up the lanterns and torches." Xue Xun ordered, and everyone left. Only he and Jin Beast led a small group of people to sweep the tail and wipe out all the traces of everyone's transfer. Xue Xun and Jin Beast Get into the secret passage.The rest of the guards disguised themselves as civilians and climbed over the wall to meet with the spies who stayed in the city.

The lanterns were hung high and the red candles were shining brightly. The entire Xue family was bright and majestic. As if he didn’t know the outside situation, he was enjoying the singing and dancing on the high bed and soft sleeper.In this chaotic and noisy city of Jinling, he was really a different kind, so abnormal that he was like a searchlight, attracting everyone.

The refugees who attacked the city were not fools, and the first to arrive was indeed Dongfang City. Once the refugees broke out, they could no longer be called people. They are now bandits.Holding a long knife and spear in his hand, trampling down the noble lord who used to be aloof, and the young lady who dare not even look at her on weekdays, once the desire to destroy is aroused, it will be uncontrollable.

"Go to Xue's house, pearls are like blood and gold are like iron, it's all our hard-earned money!" Someone called out among the refugees, and everyone responded one after another, raising weapons and shouting loudly, and flocked to Xue's house.

Lanterns hang high at the gate of Xue's house, and the inside is also bright. Unlike the houses they attacked before, there is no panicked running and shouting, and no strong servants organized to resist. There are only two big red lanterns hanging there quietly, like Two red bull's eyes stare at you quietly.

The leading man has always been known for his boldness, so he couldn't help but swallowed, slapped his thigh to cheer himself up, and said: "What are you afraid of? There are so many of us, and we are afraid that he is a peddler. Boys, go!"

The leader took the lead, and stood up to hit the gate. Unexpectedly, he dodged and fell to the ground. The gate was not locked at all, but it was just a cover.If he was afraid of being trampled on, he would have been trampled past, but the Xue family was in such a strange situation, the refugees behind all watched with wide-eyed eyes and did not dare to act rashly.

These people not only enjoy the pleasure of torturing the nobles, but also fear these once superior people. They firmly believe that the nobles are blessed by the gods and have secrets that they don't know.

The Xue family's old house was full of trees and red plums, and the brilliant lights shone on the ragged people, revealing their true colors, but unfortunately there was no owner.No one came out to stop them, but this group of people did not dare to attack recklessly. The leader was afraid of being cheated, so he quickly restrained everyone not to intrude.It has been said countless times in the scriptures and operas that the real rich and powerful people have agencies, don't set up agencies to wait for them.

The leader led people to search around. There was no one, no money, no treasure, and even the kitchen had only a little food. It was worse than before the family had no home. Is this really the famous Xue family?Everyone involved in the search couldn't believe it.

He led people to search Xue's house for a long time, but found nothing. Looking at the red garden, it seemed that the owner's house was just out temporarily for business and would come back at any time. It was so weird that it really made people panic.

Those refugees didn't want to scrape off the decorative gold powder on the pillars like before, but retreated slowly.Their brains turned quickly and they already remembered that along the way, people kept inciting them to attack the Xue family. Now that the Xue family is like this, it is obviously a trick of the people above!Although the little people follow the crowd and are easy to make fun of, they are not fools. These things are obviously not something that people like him can do badly.

The leader discussed with the little bosses, and when he counted the number of people, he found that the "military adviser" who had been advising him for a long time had disappeared, and the rest were clan folks who knew the basics of the village.The leader speculated that his side was being used, and everyone agreed to retreat quickly.They just want to grab some gold and silver to live a stable life, and they cannot participate in the game of the nobles.

The Xue family's old house, which had no organized resistance and sang empty city plans, was not seriously damaged, and just stood there quietly.

Xue Xun led the people along the secret road, and not long after they left, Yinshuang came to meet him, and the advance team had already arrived at their destination. "Master, the wife and the young master have settled down. No one has noticed that we have retreated. Everything has started as planned."

"That's good. Is there any news now? Why are refugees attacking Jinling all of a sudden?" Xue Xun asked quickly.

"It's the prince!"

"Prince! He's crazy!" Although Xue Xun was surprised, he always had the feeling that "it's finally here".

"Jinling is the land of dragon prosperity. There are many honorable families and the ancestral temples of the Duke's mansion are here. Is the crown prince going to make enemies of all the courtiers? How could he lead the refugees to attack Jinling? Those who obey the order have no brains Is it? If something happened, the prince can save his life, so how can they survive?" Xue Xun asked again and again.

"The prince transferred the soldiers stationed there, and sent dead soldiers to spread rumors among the refugees. The garrison in Jinling is now waiting to wipe out the Xue family. Otherwise, how can they break into Jinling City with only those refugees carrying hoes and rakes?" Yinshuang said viciously, destruction is always easier than construction, he poked his head out and took a look, the formerly prosperous Jinling City had become an abandoned city, full of mess.

"It's crazy!" Xue Xun murmured, not sure if he was talking about the crown prince or those refugees.

"Master, I'm afraid the prince will really be abolished this time." Yinshuang said.

"How to say?"

"Master, why do you think the prince is so desperate?" So crazy, he doesn't have the spirit of a prince of a country at all, and his ruined country is his!Yinshuang didn't give a shit, and went directly: "The prince asked for an order to kill the Xue family, but His Majesty did not agree, and He also wanted our life, but now, Your Majesty is much more face-saving than the Prince. After leaving Beijing, His Majesty found out, and sent people to chase him back. Because he did not use the staff of the General Administration Department, we were slow to get the news. His Majesty the Emperor can bear the prince's loneliness, and can forgive the prince's defeat in the sea battle, which caused civil disturbances , and can even use Jiangshan to practice for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but he must not tolerate his offense to the authority of the monarch!"

Xue Xun was silent. He knew that Yinshuang's analysis was correct. Compared with the dignity of the emperor and his father, what the emperor valued was his own authority.Tens of thousands of lives and tens of thousands of people were displaced. As long as the prince cried in front of the emperor, the emperor who loved his son could ignore it.

"The crown prince wants to kill me, so why bother to pretend to be an imperial edict, if I resist a piece of decree, I will be a traitor. How can the Jinling garrison refuse to accept the order? The crown prince's name is justified, so why bother to pretend to sell official salt as private salt?" Xue Xun sighed. The prince is not upright enough, he goes straight on the road, and has a lot of conspiracy, which makes people hard to guard against.

"The Jinling garrison is also His Majesty's authority. This time the crown prince is able to succeed, but the Jinling garrison has been kept in the dark, and the guards have been bribed. At that time, the crown prince will stand in front. He is also a poor man who has been deceived. Jinling is Long Xing The meaning of the land is completely different. The prince may also be gambling, betting that the current national crisis, His Majesty will not dare to touch the position of the crown prince for the sake of political stability." Jin Beast sighed.

"It doesn't matter if you move, the scenery in your life is boundless, and you pull the back when you die, even if you are crippled and die, it's worth it." Yinshuang added.

Their current guesses are all useless. I don't know what stimulated the prince to ignore him so much, but the reason will be a matter of later. The most important thing now is to save his life.
