So what does the old man want to do? This is to bow his head to the court and admit his mistake? Then how can we repay our revenge?" After returning to the Wei Mansion and stopping Wei Lai's account about this trip, Sun Daren suddenly exploded, and his face flushed and shouted loudly.

If it is placed in an ordinary family, the shouting of the main family is enough to provoke the surrounding servants to look sideways. But it is obvious that the servants who were arranged in the Wei Mansion were by no means ordinary people, and Wei Lai had calculated that he had lived in the Wei Mansion for three or four months, but he had never given these house slaves a single penny. In the past, it could be excused that Xu Yunian had solved this matter, but now that the Xu family has left, where does the monthly money of these house slaves come from? This is a very strange thing in itself, compared to Sun Daren's shouting, the surrounding domestic servants are still busy with their own things, and do not wait and see, so it is not surprising.

"Grandpa may have his own plans, and I can't figure out what he's thinking. Wei Lai frowned and recalled everything today, feeling strange in his heart, but after all, he was unwilling to fully declare what he thought in his heart. He comforted Sun Daren and reassured him, and also promised that he would find a suitable opportunity to ask Jiang Huanshui. Sun Daren, who had just returned from the Mountains and Rivers, was also a little sleepy, and after thinking for a while, he nodded, yawned and left.

Seeing this, Wei Lai was also about to go back to his room to practice for the time being, but at this time, the housekeeper of the Wei Mansion suddenly walked up to Wei Lai and handed him an envelope.

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, took the object from his hand, and looked at it intently, but saw that the opening of the envelope was sealed with purple wax, and a cloud-like pattern was pressed out with the printing pad.

Zixiao Army?

Wei Lai caught a glimpse of this, and the first thought in his mind was Xiao Mu.

He hurriedly opened the envelope and looked down, there were few words in the letter, but it made Wei Lai, who was already in a depressed mood today, frown more and more tightly at the moment.

It took him a while to digest the contents of the letter, then he looked at the man beside him with heavy eyes and asked, "Uncle Di, is this letter from the Xiao Mansion?"

The man named Dixiu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "It took some tricks and feet for the dark disc under my hand to hide from Cang Yuwei's ears and eyes and send it out, Childe ......"

Speaking of this, the man who had always been silent pondered for a while, and then said: "This time, the Jin family is menacing, and the prince and the state pastor have to be careful." ”

Dexiu was silent most of the time, playing the role of what a butler should do, even about the various things in the Hanxing Conference, he only gave the right information at the right time, as for how to decide, it was all up to Wei Lai to decide, never said much, and never put forward his own opinions. And this time, he said more words than before, although it was just a simple sentence, Wei Lai could also smell the strange atmosphere of the entire Ningxiao City now.

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at the man, and asked, "Does Uncle Di think we have a chance of winning?"

Dixiu lowered his head: "That's what Childe should think, all I have to do is to tell Childe what I can know." Of course ......"

Speaking of this, Di Xiu paused again, and said: "If Childe needs something, the Dark Sky Army can also do something other than intelligence for Childe." ”

"For example?" Wei Lai asked again.

Di Xiu still kept his head down, and looked as deferential as a flat-headed common man who could not be more ordinary when facing nobles.

His voice was also very low, lukewarm, like an ordinary answer

。

He said.

"Kill. ”

......

Wei Lai returned to his room, and the door was pitch black.

This is not a strange thing, he has been away from Ningzhou for a month, and it is late at this moment, so naturally there is no servant to light the candle in advance.

Wei Lai's heart inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable, as if his room shouldn't be like this...... It's as if someone should be sitting by the window with a candle lit all the time, waiting for him to come back......

But who it was, Wei Lai couldn't really remember.

He shook his head, put the strange thoughts that had sprung up in his heart out of his mind, lit the candle, and looked at the empty room, the discomfort not only did not dissipate, but became more and more intense.

He sighed, picked up the envelope handed by Fang Cai Dixiu again, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it again.

There wasn't much handwriting on the letter, just a glance at Wei Lai could read it through, but Wei Lai couldn't help but read it a few more times, and his brows furrowed a little deeper because of this.

He couldn't have imagined that he had just solved the troubles in the Mountains and Rivers Diagram, and that he had been waiting for a long time when he returned to Ningxiao City.

After all, he was only sixteen years old, and he couldn't help but feel a little exhausted all the way. And this empty door, and the strange attitude shown by Jiang Huanshui today, also deepened the boredom in his heart at this moment.

He sighed, put away the letterhead in his hand, and then lay down on the bed alone, and fell into a deep sleep with his thoughts.

......

Yesterday, Gongzi Wei and General Xiao came back. "At the gate of the west of Ningxiao City, there is the market of Ningxiao City, and the vegetable farmers in the surrounding farmland and some merchants who sell cheap goods will probably choose to sell their goods here, and this is also the only way to go from Ningxiao City to Tailin City.

Early in the morning, the gates of the city were crowded with vendors and people who came from all over the city to buy daily necessities.

And once there are more people, everyone will inevitably talk to each other and pass the time.

"Is it? It's finally back, you said you didn't think it was before, but now that we don't have these two in Ningxiao City, it's as if something is missing, and being bullied by those outsiders makes people panic!"

"No, it's still these two top things. Don't you see that the original Tianque Realm was also governed by the two of them?"

And what the person said before quickly caused a great response in this crowd, everyone said one word at a time, and most of the tones were full of trust in Wei Lai and Xiao Mu, thinking about the deeds of the Hanxing Conference at the beginning, it really gave the two of them a good prestige in the hearts of the people.

But soon someone put forward a different voice: "What's the use of that? Lord Zhou Mu didn't speak, I think this Wei Gongzi and General Xiao can only make a small fight, yesterday they just came back, Cang Yuwei's Meng Rank led people to arrest seven people who traveled with them, Bai Tongpao, Yu Xian, Gu Luo, these people who used to be considered our Ningxiao City have a head and a face, and as soon as they arrived in Ningzhou, they were escorted into the big guy, so Xiao Mu and Wei Lai have nothing to do. After all, the Jin family is a member of the imperial court, and this arm can't twist the thigh after all. ”

This cold water was poured on everyone's heads, and everyone was a little deflated.

"Yes, even the mansion of Commander Xiao has been besieged, and the Yu family of the Bai family used to say that it was also a big family in our Ningxiao City, but Cang Yuwei was one

Not happy, I just found an excuse and arrested them back, I see, this Ningxiao City is about to be unable to stay. ”

"It's not just Ningxiao City, I think it's the entire Ningzhou ......"

As the man said this, there was a commotion not far away. Everyone looked sideways, but saw a large group of armor soldiers wearing white armor and carrying long knives at their waists, carrying fierce bows, in the direction of the direction of the street, pressing the prisoner cart towards the gate of Xicheng.

The two armor soldiers walking in front of them dispersed the vendors on both sides of the street with an extremely bad attitude, and with a wave of punches and kicks, several goods were scattered all over the place, embarrassed.

Since ancient times, it has been said that the people do not fight with officials.

Of course, it doesn't matter how much slander is in the bottom of their hearts, but these flat-headed people don't dare to really provoke these evil stars, and everyone hurriedly retreats to both sides of the road when they see this, making way for the huge team, lest they will cause trouble if they are a little slower.

And after a brief panic, the surrounding people finally had time to look at the people who were being held in the prisoner cart in the huge procession.

"Isn't this the head of the Bai family and the young son of the Bai family, Bai Tongpao?" Soon, someone recognized the people detained in the prisoner car, not only Bai Tongpao, but also Yu Xian, Gu Luo and others, as well as the elders and brothers in their clan, were all imprisoned in the prisoner car, surrounded by heavy soldiers, through the crowd to the West City Gate.

"Where are they going?" asked at the moment.

"Coming out of the West City Gate, aren't you going to Tailin City?"

"Then there is still a way to live?"

Cang Yuwei's ability to interrogate prisoners is well known to everyone, regardless of whether you are guilty or not, as long as you enter Cang Yuwei's cell, as long as they want to, they can judge you for the crimes of the nine clans. And the prisoners who have always been escorted into Tailin City by Cang Yuwei have never come back alive, even if it was Chu Lantian, the Marquis of Chu, who was a supreme minister back then, didn't they also end up being beheaded?

Most of the people were a little concerned, and their eyes when they looked at those prisoner cars became compassionate.

......

As the commander of the prisoners escorted this time, Meng Wei naturally listened to the whispers of the surrounding people. He has been serving in Cang Yuwei for many years, and he has long been accustomed to the awe and jealousy of others, he does not hate this feeling, on the contrary, he enjoys it very much.

But he was not in a good mood, not because of the whispers of the people around him, but because he had to take the prisoners back to Tailin City......

He is also the deputy commander of the White Feather Army of Cang Yuwei, and he knows a lot more things than ordinary people as an official, and this trip to Ningzhou of General Jin is certainly not as simple as inspecting Ningzhou on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he has more important things to do. And as long as he does this well, with his relationship with Niangniang, he can't really break the ancestral training of Yan Ting and make a king who splits the earth. And as his old department, he can naturally follow the chicken dog to get the way.

Meng Wei was full of waiting for this day, but yesterday he was told that he would escort these prisoners to Tailin City, which was equivalent to making him miss a great opportunity to make a contribution, how could he be happy.

Thinking like this, Meng Wei couldn't help but grit his teeth a little, he always had to find someone to vent his anger......

It also happened that with such thoughts, there happened to be a short-eyed guy at the gate of the city in front of him who walked to the middle of the road with his head down, Meng Wei's eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice: "Come on, go teach the guy who doesn't have long eyes, tell him, what is a good dog and don't stand in the way!"
