Invincible son

In Jinshafang not far from Dingkangfang, a laid-back man hunched forward. After making sure that no one was paying attention to his whereabouts, he walked into a remote and narrow alley. Walking through the houses, after about a stick of incense, he entered a courtyard very quickly.

In the main hall, besides the unruly man, there are five other people, all men in their thirties with brilliant eyes.

"Brother, what's the situation outside?" one of them asked.

The laid-back man said solemnly, "It's very complicated."

Another person sighed: "Since those words were spilled, the spies from Taishitai Pavilion have been biting us like dogs. Now they can't leave the city, not to mention, they dare not even go on the street. When will this be the end of the day?" ?”

The Luotuo man frowned and said, "Don't complain. When we went to the north, you and I made a blood oath in front of the old master, no matter how difficult the situation was, we must persevere. Also, if everyone hadn't worked hard in Beiliang capital, how could the family Can you live a good life like that?"

Hearing him mentioning the Marquis of Rejecting the North Xian Chunqiu, the man remembered that his surname was also Xian—although he was not a direct descendant of the Xian family, but he was quite prestigious among the group of dead men who went north, so he didn't dare to gossip anymore, he just sighed heavily : "Brother Xian, I am not afraid of death. If you want me to fight the Liang people, I will not even blink my eyes. But we have been hiding in Tibet like this, and we just sit and wait for death? At the beginning, we had more than 300 people in Beijing, North Liang. People, nearly a hundred people were lost on the spot when they spread the words, and then they were bitten by the Taige's spies. In the past two months, they lost more than 100 people. Now they are only 76 people. If this continues, the entire army will definitely be wiped out. "

He paused for a moment, and said slightly angrily: "The key is to die in a daze, it's not worth it!"

Xian Yun looked around at the crowd and saw that they had roughly the same expressions on their faces, so he called everyone to sit at the table, and then said calmly: "I know that you are all men who are not afraid of death, the more difficult the situation is, the less hasty it is. There are two very important pieces of information, one is that the assassination of Pei Yue has not yet been resolved, the Northern Liang court has not caught the assassin so far, and there is already an undercurrent between the monarch and his ministers."

Everyone's spirits were lifted, and they quickly asked: "Is there another one?"

Xian Yun said softly: "It has been rumored that Emperor Kaiping died because someone assassinated him, and it was related to Pei Yue!"

"really?"

"It's true."

"That's great!"

For these deceased members of the Xian family who came to foreign capitals far away from their homeland, death is not an unacceptable ending, but they hope to die vigorously, at least to deal a serious blow to Beiliang, so that they can leave their names in history and live a long life. Relatives on the south bank of Tiancang River can get better care.

"Brother Xian, what should we do next?" The person who complained earlier asked excitedly.

Xian Yun's eyelids drooped slightly, and he said slowly: "Earlier, Lord Hou meant to find an opportunity to assassinate Pei Yue after spreading the rumors. I didn't expect someone to strike faster than us. Now that Pei Yue was assassinated and injured, be vigilant and stay there all the time. In the heavily guarded Duke's Mansion, and the Beiliang court has increasingly tightened surveillance on the cities of Kyoto, we have little chance of success if we try to do it."

Without waiting for the others to show disappointment, he lowered his voice and continued, "However, we can take this opportunity to use the last line, as long as it can make the Northern Liang Chaotang mess up, even if we risk our lives, we must be worthy of the cultivation of the old Marquis." .”

"it is good!"

The crowd responded in unison.

……

On the sixth day after Pei Yue was assassinated, Taishitai Pavilion and Luan Yiwei still failed to catch the assassin.

All kinds of rumors are rampant in the city.

Some people say that the assassin is a dead soldier supported by a certain important person in the court. After killing Pei Yue, he can monopolize the military power.

Some people also said that the assassin was a son of the Dongshan Wang family of the Western Wu Dynasty, and he was good at using a domineering sword technique. This assassination was not only to weaken Daliang's strength, but also to avenge the Iron Cavalry of the Western Wu Dynasty who died at the hands of Pei Yue in the Battle of the Western Region. .

There are also some more sensational rumors, such as the death of the first emperor was related to Pei Yue, the assassin was actually sent by the queen mother in the palace, with the intention of avenging the first emperor without shaking the foundation of the court.Similar rumors are only spread in a small area, and everyone is secretive and dare not reveal anything to the outside world.

Regarding the first type of rumor, although no one has started to criticize it yet, the Hou Xiaojin of Xiangcheng has already seen it clearly, and the spearhead of this rumor is naturally directed at himself.Before Mo Haoli passed away, he was the one who used the secret of Pei Yue's background to be aggressive in the court, and wanted to use this opportunity to weaken the power in the opponent's hands.

Although the goal was not achieved, the rivalry between him and Pei Yue has been made public.

However, it is true that Pei Yue is the Duke of the state, and Xiao Jin is also a first-class Marquis with outstanding merits and the right military aircraft of the Xifu, no one dares to implicate him in this matter without evidence.

Therefore, at the court meeting today, Xiao Jin was still calm and indifferent, and occasionally glanced at Guangping Hou Guliang next to him, his eyes full of deep meaning.

Until the commander of Luan Yiwei sent Chen An out of the class to report, his words were like a boulder falling into the water, and a turbulent wave was set off in an instant.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, the minister and the secret agents of Luanyiwei have searched various places in the capital in recent days. Before the opening of the court meeting, a secret report was received, and a new discovery was made about the assassination of Duke Wei."

There was a sudden commotion in the Hall of Liangyi.

The censor of correction instrument scolded one after another before quieting down the hall.

Liu Xian said in a deep voice, "Speak."

Chen An resisted the urge to look towards Xiao Jin, bowed his head and said: "The ministers discovered that the reason why the assassin could not be caught before was because he did not hide in the west city and the south city, but did not escape far at all. That day , Wei Guogong was assassinated on Gushui Street, which is located between Xingyefang and Yongrenfang, you can escape to Nancheng if you go south, and you can lead to Xicheng if you go west.”

He paused for a moment, and said with shame on his face: "Your servant, Yulu, set the direction of the pursuit to the west and south, but he ignored that the assassin's agility was extremely high, and he was not alone, there were people who assisted him in escaping."

Anger appeared in Liu Xian's eyes, and he said word by word: "Who is helping the assassin?"

Chen An said with difficulty: "From the evidence collected by Luan Yiwei so far, this matter may be related to the Xiangguo Mansion."

There was a dead silence in the hall.

Xiangguo Mansion...

The head of the family is Xiao Jin, Hou of Xiangcheng.

Liu Xian did not lose his mind, and repeated the word: "Or?"

Chen An bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Luan Yiwei's secret agents found blood on a wall in the backyard of the Xiangguo Mansion, and found the double knives used by the assassin in the grass beside the road. Break into the Xiangguo Mansion to conduct a search."

All eyes could not help but shoot at the first-class Marquis of Xiangcheng in unison.

Xiao Jin raised her head slowly, and looked at Liu Xian who was staring at her with a complicated expression.

After what seemed to be an extremely long silence, he heard that some courtiers finally jumped out and impeached himself.

Xiao Jin didn't seem to realize it, just stared at Liu Xian, and went out to play: "Your Majesty, the assassination of Wei Guogong has absolutely nothing to do with my minister!"

Liu Xian was silent.

The impeachment sounds one after another became more and more noisy, as if the building was about to collapse.

……

At night, the back street of Duke Wei's Mansion.

"I would like to report to the Duke of the country. Your Majesty did not make a decision at the time. He only let Luan Yiwei and Taige enter Xiangguo Mansion to search together. Now the Marquis of Xiangcheng is temporarily kept in the palace. Martial law."

"How many people impeached Xiao Jin today?"

"A total of 24 ministers, including four supervisory censors and three attendant censors, the highest official rank is Zhengsipin."

"Is there any decree from the Empress Dowager Wu?"

"No."

"Have you got the details of these 24 ministers?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa, we will find out before dawn tomorrow."

Standing in the bright moonlight, Pei Yue pondered for a long time before saying quietly, "Wait for another three days, and then start collecting the net."

The man said respectfully: "Of order."

Pei Yue looked into his eyes and said gently, "I'm sorry."

The man raised his head and said with a smile: "Don't dare, Mr. Shen told the next official when Qian Bing left, and he will follow the orders of the Duke in the future."

Pei Yue said with a little emotion: "At the beginning, Qian Bing told me that you belonged to the first emperor, and you were the one who instigated the heads of various ministries to compete for the position of You Lingdou in the Taiwan cabinet. Before Mr. Shen left, he dipped in tea and wrote in front of me. It's really unexpected for me to write your name."

The man was silent for a moment, then sighed: "Fate is impermanent, it is hard to predict. The lower official was indeed the late emperor's man a long time ago, but later he gradually became Master Shen, and in the future he can only be the Duke's man."

Under the moonlight, this is a tall and thin man with a delicate appearance and a gentle temperament.

His name is Jing Chu, and he is the current Taishi Taige You Lingdou.
