The sunset in the twilight of summer, rising from the edge of the western sky, spreads on the golden glazed tile roof of the imperial city, flowing with a blurry and beautiful light.

Outside the heavy gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, the waiter on duty stood in the shallow twilight with two foreign men, and bowed down to see off the great Sima General Situ Yi away. When they got up, the three of them tacitly glanced at each other, and the three of them couldn't help but look at the distant back at the same time, shaking their heads and sighing. The grudge of 22 years ago has finally surfaced. Although the original initiator has been punished, the young son Situ Yi, who was victimized at the beginning, is now in power. I really don't know what kind of storm he will cause when he goes.

The eyes of the three of them gradually drifted away, and Situ Yi on the horse gradually disappeared into the thin twilight. His thin lips were pursed, and his face was frosty. A soft leather rein was clenched in his hand, and the knuckles that were overexerted were slightly pale. He closed his eyes fiercely, clenched his teeth, and still couldn't help but let out a low sound.

Xiao Song, this thief, for his own selfishness, for the selfishness of his sister-in-law, he actually used the high position and power of the military department to suppress the military report of Amiri Mountain for ten days. And afterwards, their explanation turned out to be just eight words: "There are many documents, and they are wrong and missed for a while"! At that time, the first emperor was afraid of the Xiao family, so he could only dispose of an inconsequential soldier Wailang......

The past has gone with the wind, but the sins created by Xiao Song and Xiao Yi's brothers and sisters still left these eight words.

It was these eight words that buried the lives of Situ Yi's maternal grandfather, mother, aunt, three uncles, and more than 20,000 people in the Sayr Department! It is these eight words that have buried the most solid and natural guard in the northern frontier of Great Chu.

Situ Yi sighed deeply at this time, authority, this sharp weapon that he has always disdained and despised, can really be stronger than his iron horse! However, because the Xiao family brothers and sisters are in power, he can put his ancestors to death in a single day, thousands of miles away! Such a borrowed knife to kill people is so easy and so frivolous!

Full of extreme anger and self-deprecation, like a rushing torrent, intertwined and collided in his heart. Since he was a child, he has revered the loyalty and heroism of his grandfather and father, and the integrity of his mentor Qin Zi'an. I have always used this to introspect and self-discipline, and I can also afford to be loyal and upright in my own way.

However, at this time, Situ Yi suddenly felt that those noble loyalists were upright, and they turned into merciless ridicule in a trance. Laugh at him full of remorse. Pity him for many years, he really believes that the short three-day time difference is providence!

The goose under the crotch seemed to taste the anger and sorrow of the owner, and naturally rose up with four hooves and galloped forward. On the blue brick road, a light dust spreads in the air, and the sound of the horse's hooves is mixed with the sound of the twilight drum on the Chengtian Gate, which penetrates into the ears, coherent and clear.

When the pedestrians on the road heard the dusk drum, they had no time to watch the flying ride. People hurried to their respective shelters. Since Emperor Yuanping ascended the throne, this curfew system has become more stringent.

Situ Yishen did not possess the body, changed his usual prudence and self-discipline, and did not stop the galloping of the geese at all. It wasn't until an old man walking tremblingly appeared in his eyes that he was so startled that he suddenly tugged at the reins......

However, it was too late, and the goose was suddenly strangled, and its front hooves suddenly rose into the air, and in a sharp hissing, only the old man screamed and fell to the ground. The bamboo basket in his hand was thrown high, paused slightly in mid-air for a moment, and then slammed into the ground. The vegetables in the basket were scattered in the air.

Situ Yi was full of excitement, and secretly regretted "not good", and the person had already flown off the horse and pounced on the old man.

But I saw the old man lying on the green brick road facing the ground, motionless, his thin body, curled up in a ball, and the mournful ** sound came from under him.

Situ Yi hurriedly squatted down and helped with both hands: "Old man, are you okay?" ”

"Oops, oops" The old man shook his head slightly, unable to answer his question. The thin body was half-leaning on Situ Yi's arm, and on his frowning brows, a few wisps of green tendons jumped and jumped, and his hand subconsciously stroked the sore spot under his ribs.

Situ Yi looked at him with a painful expression, full of regret and shame, and his eyes couldn't help but follow his hand and fall to his ribs. Suddenly, his anxious and remorseful expression froze, and the murderous intent in his eyes flashed like a thunderbolt in the dark night.

In the flash of lightning, Situ Yi flipped with both palms and pushed away the old man who was close at hand. His figure leaped to his feet, his right hand in front of him. only heard a hissing sound, and a hole in the placket of his robe had been torn, and at the tear, the middle coat of plain silk was clearly visible.

He got up too quickly and too quickly, and the old man obviously didn't expect him to see through it so quickly.

missed the blow, and saw that the old man was short, with a twist of his wrist, the sharp blade in his palm flipped in front of Situ Yi's chest, drawing a bowl-sized snow-bright knife flower, which instantly hooked towards his neck. Situ Yi leaned back, but he could avoid it, his left leg took advantage of the situation to sweep over, bent down, firmly grabbed the man's wrist, flew up with a kick, and hit the old man's heart.

With a "poof", a mouthful of thick blood spurted out, and with the crisp sound of the blade falling to the ground, the man fell several feet away. The short rickety body, caged in a small ball, seemed to be very painful......

Situ Yi stood five feet away, looking down at him with cold eyes. Suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, his body was like the wind, and he flashed backwards.

The old man didn't see his flash, his body was bent like a frog, and his whole body was like a projectile, and it flew towards Situ Yi like a projectile.

At that moment, on both sides of the Vermilion Bird Road, several Qinglan figures flew towards the person at the same time. Another Qinglan figure swept in front of Situ Yi like a flying arrow, knelt on the ground and said nervously: "It's too late for my subordinates to save the car!" The general forgives the sins! ”

Situ Yi stood still, his eyes were fixed on the assassin not far away, he leaned slightly sideways to support the guards beside him, and said coldly, "Keep your mouth alive!" ”

"Yes," the young guard commanded, and with a lift of his figure, he flew not far away.

The old man was already injured, and it was difficult to defeat the four, so he was subdued by the white feather guard in an instant. Even the trick of hiding poison in his tooth crown was seen through by them. Before he committed suicide, he was pinched by Situ Yi's people and begged for death.

Situ Yi looked at the old man for a moment, raised his eyes, and saw the passers-by hiding behind the trees on the side of the road watching in horror, so he had to whisper: "Take him down quickly!" Review the eyebrows and then come back! ”

"Yes," the three white-feathered guards who were holding him bowed down to receive the order, and then escorted the man to retreat.

"The general forgives the sin!" The young deputy commander of Bai Yuwei looked worriedly at the blood marks on Situ Yi's torn placket and cuffs, and pleaded guilty again.

Situ Yi looked down at the torn azure brocade robe and the blood stains on the sleeves, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'm not hurt." This is also not to blame you, they are in the shadows, and you are also unable to guard against them. ”

When the guard saw Situ Yi starting forward, he had to take the goose and follow him closely, leaving the land of right and wrong in plain sight. The guard tentatively reported: "General, my subordinates have just verified that six of the soldiers on the guard patrol at that time were bribed by Jiangnan ship merchants, so those assassins were able to avoid the night patrol and enter the camp to assassinate. Today, this person is afraid that he is also an accomplice of those people? ”

Situ Yi tried hard to wipe the blood stains on his cuffs, listened quietly, and then shook his head for a while and said, "Not necessarily, there are too many people who want me to die now." It doesn't have to be the same group of people. ”

The guard was slightly stunned, his expression worried, puzzled and admired.
