On the other hand, at the gate of Chang'an, a man stood tall and jade, only to see him Yue Zhiyuan, with a golden crown on his head, and a purple shirt that was only paid tribute this summer.

It's a pity that he wears a green jade mask on his face, and he can't see his face, and the two eyes that are revealed behind the mask are faintly shining, puffing on tens of millions of secrets and calculations. At this moment, he stood in the castle tower, looking at the official road to the south, as if he was waiting for something.

It is the fourth son of Jinshang, the concubine Yang, the king of Yue, Li Jingxiao.

"Lord Wang, Lord Xiao has arrived. A male voice rang out.

Li Jingxiao retracted his gaze, looked at the man, and seemed to smile: "It's been more than 20 years, do you have any other feelings when you return to Chang'an?" Xue Gong." ”

The man named Xue Gong was in his early fifties, in a black robe and black iron armor, dressed as a general, and had terrible scars on his face, which made his whole face blue and black, as terrifying as Zhong Kui, but his eyes were loyal and introverted.

"This is my agreement with the man. When the wind rises and the chess game opens, you can come out of the darkness. I've been waiting for more than 20 years, and now it's just destiny. Xue Gong's voice was also very hoarse, if a child heard it, he would definitely be scared to cry.

Li Jingxiao is very familiar with it, and his tone is more affinity: "For more than 20 years, I have been hidden in my Tianshutai." Once you return to Beijing, can you have someone you want to see first? Why rush to serve the king first. The king will give you a few days off......"

"Lord Wang! The minister dared to ask for his life, for the prince to use a sword and crossbow, and set foot on Chang'an! Back then, he said, only by ending everything can I live under the sun. And the prince is the one who ends everything. The ministers helped the prince to get what he wanted as soon as possible, and it was also for his own selfishness!" Xue Gong was a little anxious, suddenly knelt down, and said solemnly, "Please also ask the prince not to worry about Weichen, Weichen swears that before the bureau is decided, he is just the prince's Tianshutai general, and there is no other name! There will be no personal entanglement!"

"It's fine. Li Jingxiao thought about it, personally bent down, and helped Xue Gong up, "Then after the decision, this king will give you anything you want, and it will be regarded as a reward for you for more than 20 years.

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Xue Gong bowed down gratefully, his face was still horribly scarred, but there was a little more warmth.

While the two were talking, the footsteps were approaching, and the voice of the third person sounded: "Minister, Xiao Chengming, meet the prince!"

Li Jingxiao grimaced, looked at the man in the official robe who climbed the city tower, and chuckled: "Lord Xiao has grown up recently. The king has to be thrifty and reused, guarding the Chang'an Gate, and the father is trapped outside the gate like a turtle by you. ”

The rebellious words did not surprise Xiao Chengming, but Li Jingxiao's chuckle, like Shura's fangs, made his scalp tingle instantly, and he hurriedly kowtowed: "The prince has promoted the minister! The minister is just instructed by the prince, pretending to submit to Wang Jian, seizing the power of Chang'an Gate, and paving the way for the prince's next move!" The minister is loyal to the prince, and the world can learn from it!"

Li Jingxiao did not speak. just turned to look at the Yuan Yuan outside the city gate, and squinted slightly, so this silence made the other two people feel at the tip of their throats.

"Lord Wang Mingjian! The minister has no two hearts......" Before Xiao Chengming finished speaking, there was a gust of wind, and a dagger rested on his neck.

"The prince didn't let you reply, and he dared to make his own decisions!" ”

It turned out that the man who called Xue Gong didn't make a move, he just made a look, and a shadow guard obeyed the order, and suddenly the dagger came out of the sheath, and the temperature dropped sharply among the four people in the field.

Xiao Chengming was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, but he couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes: "General, haven't you seen it before?"

"The general is the one who is in charge of the Heavenly Pivot Platform for Gongzi, how can you see it on weekdays!" Ying Wei Yin explained, the dagger went further, and Xiao Chengming's neck suddenly gushed blood.

"The prince spares his life! The minister has sacrificed all the military power at the gate of Chang'an, and the matter of secretly welcoming the emperor back to the palace has also been done according to the instructions of the prince! My Xiao family is only loyal to the prince! He is a thrifty old man, and it is not enough to lift shoes for my clan!" Xiao Chengming's face has turned white due to blood loss.

"Old horseman, that's a good scolding, listen. Li Jingxiao smiled suddenly, a faint smile, but everyone in the audience breathed a sigh of relief.

The shadow guard dagger was returned to the sheath and disappeared back into the dark, Xue Gong also softened his face and threw Xiao Chengming a box of wound medicine: "The shadow guard has handled it very well, and it has not hurt the vital point." Just wipe it for a few days. ”

The smell of blood left in the air made Li Jingxiao very satisfied, and he gave him a hand: "Lord Xiao, please get up." The ministers of the society and the faces of the people, this king has never forgotten. As for Xue Gong's matter, it was not intentionally concealed, but that Tianshutai was originally the nest of night owls, and the people in charge of Tianshutai were naturally sneaking in the dark night. Not many people know. ”

Xiao Chengming wiped the wound medicine, and was subconsciously stunned: "Then why is it that now, the prince has exposed him to the sun?"

This was the condition for the king to exchange his allegiance to the death. After the decision is settled, the night is over, and the king returns his rightful life. Now, it's time. Li Jingxiao explained eloquently, I don't know what to think of, and sighed lightly, "For more than 20 years, I have been in charge of the night in the dark, and I really have such a heart if I have died once." When I think about it, I really admire it. ”

Xiao Chengming was a little confused, and just wanted to ask a question, but there was a faint neighing of horses, and the noise of the brigade came from the city gate.

"It's the royal driver!The emperor has arrived!" Xiao Chengming's face was surprised, but he suddenly remembered the confidentiality of this matter, and hurriedly lowered his tone, "Lord, the emperor has arrived, and the minister immediately went to pick up the driver and acted according to the plan." ”

Li Jingxiao nodded, his expression was much more difficult and solemn: "The secret of the secret, don't leak the rumors." How to hide from Wang Jian, how to let his father enter the palace secretly, and how to settle the rest of the people, they all know. ”

"The minister has made arrangements. It's just one person, and the minister doesn't know how to ......" Xiao Cheng was in a dilemma.

"Send it to the king's house. Li Jingxiao dropped a sentence lightly, and walked away, only his footsteps were hesitant, and he seemed to be a little unstable.

No one saw the scene at the Chang'an City Gate, Wang Jian didn't know, King Jin didn't know, and the whole world didn't know. Only on this day, the small door of Chang'an City's weekday waterwheel entry and exit was opened several times, and there was no more abnormality.

The war-torn Vermilion Bird Gate didn't notice this, as if it didn't notice, it was not only Xue Gong who would appear in the sun.

There are also the clouds of the nine clouds, the wind of the clouds, and the last players of the chess game.

Night. The Chang'an City Gate is still majestic and peaceful, Xiao Chengming finally took a breath after sending away the envoys who inspected the Wang family, rubbed his temples, and a cup of tea was placed on the table in front of him.

"Dad, take a break. "It is a woman who serves tea, with a goose egg face and amiable cream, no gold and silver in the cicada wings, and an indigo silk skirt and green gown, which makes her whole person particularly simple and neat.

Xiao Chengming finally smiled and nodded kindly: "Ah Ling, how many days have you been home, but you are used to it?"

"It's all good. It's just that he is supervised by the clan elders every day to test and learn, and it is better to be a maid in Xinfu in the past, and live a relaxed life. The woman smiled bitterly twice and rubbed her temples, "If I memorize a sentence of the war book and solve a formation wrong, those old men will almost hang themselves." ”

Xiao Chengming's smile became thicker, and he stroked the woman's head: "This is nature." My Xiao family has waited for decades before there is a you. You shoulder the destiny of heaven, and everyone expects it, so it is natural for the elders to value it. But don't worry, when the situation stabilizes, the clan will hold a formal ceremony for you, when you inherit the tiger talisman, the clan elders will be polite to you, and then you will test them, not them glaring at you. ”

When the woman heard this, her eyes unexpectedly floated with confusion: "Dad, do I really want to inherit that thing?"

Xiao Chengming's smile flickered, solemnly colored, and every word was like a thousand words: "Of course! The art of war is a genius, the Ling of the Xiao family! A Ling, you are a well-deserved person who inherits Xiao Ling!"

proficient in the art of war, born with a ghost, it is called, Xiao Ling.

That is, the person who made Da Chen's remnants.

That is, the name of the woman in front of you.

It is also Xinyi's maid Xiangpei.
