Invincible son

Although this straight road was not far from the official road in the north of Daliang, it was already late at night and the surroundings were dead silent.

More than [-] guards were guarding the luxurious carriage, facing the more than a hundred elite cavalry who were staring at the periphery, all of them were so nervous that they did not dare to show their air.As the personal guards of the county prince's mansion, they are usually considered arrogant in the capital, and they don't even pay attention to the officials in the capital. Moving to the north and south is almost invincible in a hundred battles.

Although these personal guards are not bad, but in the current flat land, they are definitely not the opponents of this cavalry.

The only good thing is that the opponent did not directly attack, but kept their vigilance and trapped them on the straight.

In the carriage, after learning that he was trapped, Liu Fei, King of Weinan County, scolded outside endlessly, but he didn't get any response.He opened the car door angrily, stepped on the shaft of the car, pointed at the cavalry in front and reprimanded: "You are so courageous, you dare to block the frame of the king's carriage, do you want to rebel?"

A knight rode his horse forward slowly, and replied calmly, "Why do you need to buckle your hat in such a hurry?"

Using the torches in the hands of a few cavalrymen around, Liu Fei could roughly see the face of the person who came. He saw that he was a young military general in his 20s, with a calm demeanor and a restrained demeanor, obviously not a low-ranking military officer with a humble status.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly, "Who are you?"

Sitting on the horse, the general clasped his hands and said, "It's inconvenient to salute with the armor on, please forgive me, the last general is Wei Rui, the commander of the Tibetan Front Guard of Huwei Camp."

Liu Fei's pupils shrank suddenly.

Even though he is not closely related to the military forces, he has heard the names of the generals under Pei Yue's command, the most outstanding of which are the three commanders, Wei Rui, Qin Xian and Tang Linfen.All three of them were in their twenties, but they were already well-known powerful generals of the Young and Strong faction in the Daliang Army.

He did not expect that Wei Rui was the one who led the troops to stop him. It is said that this person has won the trust and respect of Pei Yue, and he is calm and steady in handling things. He is an extremely difficult and ruthless character.

Liu Fei managed to calm down, and said coldly, "So it's the famous Commander Wei."

Wei Rui clasped his fists and said, "My lord praises you."

Liu Fei snorted coldly and asked, "Why did General Wei surround my king's carriage?"

Wei Rui said indifferently: "My lord, you are asking this question knowingly."

Liu Fei said angrily: "I respect you as a man who has made great contributions to the country's war. If you talk to you nicely, don't be shameless."

A sharp light flashed in Wei Rui's eyes, and he said indifferently: "At this moment, a few miles away, a group of thieves attacked Zhongshanhou's other courtyard. It is a coincidence that the prince appeared here, if it was not related to this matter , Could it be that he slept long and unintentionally, and ran to this wilderness in the middle of the night to relax?"

"Fart!" Liu Fei yelled angrily, with a sarcasm on his face: "What are you, an official who is as big as a sesame seed really takes it seriously? What does the king's whereabouts have to do with you? Can't you ask for instructions?"

Wei Rui said unhurriedly: "My lord thinks these words can convince His Majesty and all the adults in the court?"

Liu Fei choked slightly, the other party's words could be said to have pinpointed his fatal spot.

The most troublesome thing tonight was that he was surrounded by the Beijing army on the spot. As long as Wei Rui reported the matter truthfully, once the court was held accountable, his excuses would not stand at all.

At that time, King Qi will not be able to protect him, and King Qi may not have the idea of ​​protecting him.

Although the situation took a turn for the worse, Liu Fei did not want to show timidity in front of a commander, and said forcefully, "I don't understand what you are talking about. The attack on the Marquis of Zhongshan's other courtyard has nothing to do with me. You should immediately order your subordinates to Get out of the way, or this king will definitely go to the palace to impeach Pei Yue for treason and rebellion!"

Wei Rui shook his head and said, "My lord can't leave yet."

Liu Fei couldn't help sneering a few times, and then said sharply: "Okay, I want to see how powerful Pei Yue's elite are. You can kill people if you have the guts."

He paused for a while, slammed the carriage and said, "Let's go!"

The coachman couldn't help swallowing his saliva nervously, and the surrounding guards raised their hearts to their throats, but no one dared to disobey Liu Fei's order.The coachman swung his whip and threw a beautiful whip flower in the air, urging the two steeds to move forward. The guards held their weapons tightly and stared at the Beijing cavalry ahead without blinking.

If Wei Rui hadn't come here in person tonight, a low-level general might have been scared off by Liu Fei long ago.Although the status of a county king is nothing in front of Pei Yue and Gu Liang, he is still a son of the clan. How can ordinary people dare to bear the crime of oppressing members of the royal family.

When the situation was on the verge of breaking out, Wei Rui calmly raised his right hand, and then saw some cavalrymen of the Beiwei Battalion standing in front put down their spears and raised their bows and arrows in unison. Soar up.

Liu Fei's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Keep going, don't stop!"

The distance between the two sides was not too far, and at this moment he could even see the indifferent faces of the cavalrymen clearly.

Wei Rui looked ahead sternly, lowered his right hand without hesitation, and said in a deep voice, "Let it go!"

The sound of piercing the air was heard immediately, Liu Fei opened his eyes wide, and several loyal guards rushed forward to block him, and the rest immediately dodged. After a while of panic, none of Liu Fei's men were hit by arrows, but the two horses were shot. A lot of arrows appeared, whining and collapsing to the ground.

Liu Fei almost rolled out of the carriage, he struggled to get up, before he could yell at him, Wei Rui said coldly: "My lord, you are planning to plot against my marquis, do you think that this general is here to accompany you tonight?" Just kidding? This time you shoot a horse, the next time you shoot a man, if you don’t believe me, you can keep trying.”

The atmosphere became tense for an instant.

At this moment, more than ten riders came galloping from a distance, and shouted loudly when they approached: "General Qi, all the thieves who attacked the other courtyard have been dealt with, and no one has escaped. Except for the thieves who were killed on the spot, A total of more than [-] people were captured, including Lin He, a doctor in the middle of the Taishitai Pavilion. Commander Deng is currently arranging for these people to be interrogated separately, and Lin He has admitted that besides his confidantes, the thieves who attacked the other courtyard tonight were also from Weinan County. The people brought by the king and the dead soldiers sent by the Duke of Wei."

Wei Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling Pei Yue's suggestion to him, and after thinking for a moment, he looked at the rather embarrassed Liu Fei and asked, "My lord, with these confessions and the proof that you appeared here tonight, I don’t know if it’s enough to be punished by death?”

Liu Fei's face turned pale, his lips were tightly pressed, and there was a bit of panic in his eyes.

Wei Rui rode forward again, looked down at Liu Fei, and said calmly, "I don't know if the prince wants to be the mastermind of this matter?"

Liu Fei was naturally not stupid. He was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, then raised his head and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Wei Rui said leisurely: "There are two choices before the prince. The first is to do nothing, and then become the target of my Lord Hou. In this case, even His Royal Highness Qi Wang can't keep you. The second is Cooperate with my Lord Hou, and explain the whole story of this matter carefully when we face the saint, the key is not to let Wang Jiuxuan go."

Liu Fei said with difficulty: "What are the benefits of this king?"

Wei Rui said indifferently: "If the lord chooses the second option, then my lord Hou will not pursue you fiercely. At that time, you can put all the charges on Wang Jiuxuan and Lin He, as long as His Royal Highness King Qi mobilizes his power to help you." Pleading... Even if the crime of living is inevitable, at least the crime of death can be avoided, and there may not be no chance of recurrence in the future."

Liu Fei was silent for a long time, his expression extremely troubled.

The point of tonight's matter is to be caught by the other party, and the initiative is completely in Pei Yue's hands.

The so-called man is a knife and I am a fish, this is probably the case.

As the desolate night wind passed by, Liu Fei said dejectedly, "I hope the Marquis of Zhongshan will keep his word."

Wei Rui finally showed a faint smile, nodded and said: "Please rest assured, my lord."
