Chapter 522 Arriving at the Western Border City of Shiha
After their family left the space, Ouyang Yunyao's second uncle Ouyang Ling said something to everyone, then rushed out of Xiangfuyuan and ran towards the gate.
Seeing that their family was safe in her grandmother's room, Chu Chenjing said goodbye to them and took Chu Feng away from the general's mansion. He still had many things to deal with in and outside the city.
The other female relatives who stayed in the room surrounded Ouyang Yunyao and asked impatiently about the situation in Kyoto and the palace.
Ouyang Yunyao stayed in General Ouyang's mansion temporarily.
The general's mansion, like other mansions in the city, was quietly discussing the Xue family's attempt to force the emperor to abdicate. Many ministers who had previously been close to Xue Conggui, as well as officials who had currying favor with Prince Yu, were now trembling with fear in their own mansions, fearing that they would be implicated.
……
Time passed quickly. On that day, many shops in Kyoto were closed and the people almost all stayed at home.
Two days after Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao left Kyoto, the emperor issued an edict to execute Xue Conggui's entire family, confiscate their property, and exterminate all nine generations of their clan.
The entire family of Minister of Rites Xie Zhihong was also executed, and all members of his clan were exiled. The families and close relatives of several other ministers who participated in forcing the emperor to abdicate were all exiled.
The emperor was merciful to the second prince. He only stripped him of his title of Prince Yu and gave him a fiefdom in a remote place. After his maternal grandfather was killed, he left Kyoto and was never allowed to return to Kyoto again.
This incident had a great impact in Kyoto, but in the court, Xue Xiang's lineage was finally completely eliminated. This is a story for later.
That night, Chu Chenjing and Ouyang Yunyao put the artifact camp with 600 people into the space. There were also some of Chu Chenjing's guards and secret guards in the space.
The two of them, together with Ouyang Yunyao's mother, third brother, Chu Feng, General Su Huoling who was sent by the emperor to take over the western border, and his personal guards and adjutants, as well as Ouyang Yunyao's four maids, a group of twelve people boarded Ouyang Yunyao's plane.
Their plane took off at the hour of Hai, and after flying in the air for more than an hour, it arrived over Shiha City, a western border town of Western Chu State.
Shiha City is the westernmost city of the Western Chu State and also a mountain city. It is an important checkpoint leading to the Danyan State and some small western tribes.
There are many deserts around Danyan Kingdom, and there are several tribes around these deserts. Among them, the Dirong tribe is one of the larger tribes.
Shiha City is a very large city in the Western Chu State. It is built on the mountainside and is a city that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Continuing westward from Shiha City, after passing a mountain road outside Shiha City, you will reach the road leading to Danyan.
On one side of this road is the Baga Mountains that connect Western Chu and Southern Xinjiang. This mountain range is full of deep mountains and old forests. Ouyang Yunyao's maternal grandfather's Medicine King Valley is located in the valley of Yuyang Mountain in this mountain.
On the other side of the avenue are some small villages of Danyan Kingdom. Behind these villages is a large lake of Danyan Kingdom. On the other side of the lake is the border between Danyan and Beiyue Kingdom. However, the border between the two countries is a swamp. This swamp is very large and it is difficult for ordinary people to pass through it. This swamp is where Doctor Li said the polar Ganoderma lucidum was discovered.
Xue Jianhai's 100,000 troops were mainly guarding the passage from Shiha City to the west. His garrison of 40,000 troops was stationed in Shiha City, and 60,000 troops were stationed outside the city on the hillside bordering Danyan.
Using the night search lights, the plane flew a circle over the city of Shiha and the garrison outside the city.
Ouyang Yunyao, who was on the plane, looked at the situation below with the help of the light. Her thin willow-leaf eyebrows slightly frowned. She turned her head and looked at Chu Chenjing who was flying the plane and said, "A Jing, it seems that there are no troops stationed in the military camp outside the city. Are all the people in the city?"
Chu Chenjing said with a cold expression: "Well, I also observed carefully, and it seems that the defenses on the walls of Shiha City have been strengthened."
"Why? Are they on guard against the Di Rong people? Or have they received news that Prime Minister Xue's attempt to force the emperor to abdicate failed?"
"It seems to me that they were well prepared. They may have received the news of Prime Minister Xue's defeat. Look again, there are not many guards at their west gate, but there are more guards at the east gate."
"What do they want to do? Are they teaming up with Di Rong and trying to make this Shiha City independent?"
"It seems that they have this ambition. Let's go to the city first and take a look."
"Well! Ah Jing, look, there is an open space over there. There is no one around. You can stop the plane. After the plane stops, I will go into the space with both the plane and the people."
"Yaoyao, is this okay?"
"Yes, I tried it, it doesn't work when the plane is flying, but it works as long as the plane is stopped."
"Well."
Chu Chenjing drove the helicopter around the city of Shiha and determined the location to park the helicopter.
Although there was no sound when the helicopter stopped, the wind was extremely strong during landing. Fortunately, there was no one around.
As soon as Chu Chenjing stopped the plane, Ouyang Yunyao waved her unique little hand in the co-pilot seat, and the helicopter entered the space and stopped in the open space in front of the big villa.
Chu Chenjing opened the helicopter's cabin door and everyone got off the plane one after another.
General Su got off the plane and saw Chu Chenjing coming down from the front of the plane. He asked in confusion, "Prince Jing, how come we were taken into the Qiankun bag by Princess Jing while we were still on the plane?"
"General Su, the king and the princess have discovered that something is not right in the city of Shiha. We are afraid that Xue Jianhai's eldest son Xue Boxin has received the news from Kyoto. We should be on guard against Xue Boxin and Di Rong joining forces."
"Damn it, is this beast trying to commit treason?"
Seeing that everyone had gotten off the plane, Chu Chenjing said to Ouyang Yunyao, "Yaoyao, let your mother go to rest first, and we will discuss this here first."
"Prince Jing, Yaoyao, don't worry about me. Are you still unsure about this place? Xiao Cui and the others and I will be able to go in." Yan Yuxin knew very well the role of Ouyang Yunyao's Qiankun bag on them, so she didn't let Ouyang Yunyao go in with her.
"Okay, mother, you and Xiao Cui and the others can go and rest first." She was so relieved in her space.
After they left, Ouyang Yunhan said, "Prince Jing, I have also discovered something fishy. From the monitor on the plane, I discovered that there seemed to be no Western Chu troops stationed outside the city, and there was no one in those barracks." He told about the strange phenomenon he had discovered.
Chu Chenjing stood in front of everyone and said with a cold and handsome face: "Third brother is right, I just noticed something wrong down there. And did you notice that there are very few guards at the west gate of Shiha City, but there are quite a few guards moving on the tower of the east gate."
"Your Highness, I have also discovered this situation and was still confused. After you said this, I think it is true." Chu Feng also said quickly.
"Prince Jing, we have to split up and go to the city to investigate the situation first." Su Huoling also felt that this problem was quite serious at this time.
