"How can anyone dare to be so bold? The angry prime minister slapped the table, as if he had thought of something, and said: "Could it be that the virtuous nephew is escorting the rebellious ministers and thieves who collude with the enemy army!"

"No, this man is only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy. When Commander Wu said this, he couldn't help but think of a weak figure in the snow in his head. continued: "It was this young man who overheard the secret talk of the rebellious ministers and thieves, and reported the matter to the general's mansion. The general will plan and bring the enemy vanguard into the city to annihilate it, and then launch a surprise attack on the garrison outside the city. ”

"I see. The prime minister stroked his beard and said, "Where is that young man?"

"People are lost. ”

"Lost?" The prime minister thought he had heard it wrong, and only after seeing him nod his head did he confirm that it was not his old eyes that he was dizzy, and hurriedly asked: "Why did you lose a good and good living person?"

The prime minister naturally knew in his heart that since General Fuji Tetsu asked him to personally escort people to Kyoto, presumably the main person behind this matter must be in the imperial class. If he didn't have a certain identity background in the DPRK, how could Yan Guo easily cooperate with him.

"The night before we arrived at Cuiling Station, someone set fire to the station at night, trying to assassinate him. At this point, Commander Wu took off his robe and said, "The last general wanted to protect him from escaping, and when he fought with people, he accidentally lost them. ”

"This ......" Although the prime minister is a very popular minister, he is still a civil official in the final analysis. Seeing the appearance of Commander Wu, I was shocked. But he quickly calmed down and said, "What is the extent of your injuries, Benxiang will immediately send someone to invite the imperial doctor to treat you." ”

"Don't worry, the prime minister will only have skin injuries. "Commander Wu stopped the prime minister in time, and before the situation became clear, the fewer people who knew about his return to Kyoto, the better.

"It turns out that this is the case, no wonder I received an urgent performance from Cuiling Station early yesterday morning, only saying that the pavilion was on fire, but did not strictly disclose the details. The prime minister's face turned blue, and he slapped the table with his hand, and said, "How can this be reasonable, who did this?"

The young man said that the mastermind was called Xiao Mingxu. ”

"What?" The prime minister stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he lost his voice: "You mean, the mastermind is the third prince Xiao Mingxu." ”

And so the boy said. Commander Wu hesitated for a moment and continued: "The person who attacked Cuiling Post yesterday night also said in person that he was ordered by the third prince to come to assassinate him. ”

Until this moment, the prime minister finally knew why he had sent the boy to Kyoto thousands of miles away. If this is true, I am afraid that there will be a bloody storm in the court. For the time being, it is impossible to distinguish the authenticity of this matter. If you rush to play Your Majesty, it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Emperor, and it is indeed the best policy to send witnesses to Your Majesty for questioning.

"How could it be him, if I hadn't heard you say it in person, I wouldn't have guessed it if I wanted to. Does Your Majesty know about this?"

The prime minister's mind was blank at this time, and the three princes had always been a model for the ministers. In front of the ministers, he was quite prestigious, and even many courtiers promoted him to the East Palace. The prime minister subconsciously touched the music in the cuffs, and cold sweat flowed down unconsciously. I secretly said in my heart: It's so dangerous, if it is an hour late, the chapter will already be in the hands of His Majesty. If the rebellion is confirmed, I am afraid that even myself will not be able to escape the involvement at that time.

"General Fuji Zhe had a feud with His Majesty not long ago, and there was a secret letter in it, and I was afraid that this matter had been reported to His Majesty. Commander Wu thought of the conversation between the thieves that night, and was convinced that Chen Yichen was not lying. The last general was also suspicious, and if he hadn't heard it in Cuilingyi, he would have been worried. ”

"You, you ......" thought of the messenger who rode into the palace a few days ago, and most of them came for this matter. The prime minister pointed at him, didn't know what to say, and only held back a sentence for a long time: "People can still be lost." ”

"The last general is guilty and has come to meet His Majesty to ask for his guilt. ”

"I don't know how well arranged on the road. The prime minister's face turned green, and he said, "Please, do you eat sin?" How can you not know that Your Majesty is suspicious by nature. What's more, this matter involves the prince, whether it is true or not, it will definitely cause a dispute between the princes. ”

Everything the prime minister said, Fuji Zhe had already thought about it, and he knew that today's son was suspicious by nature. If this is to be reported to His Majesty, then witnesses are indispensable. Thinking of this, Fuji Zhe simply sent Chen Yichen to Kyoto, believe it or not, let His Majesty fall. Things will always be interesting, no one thought that escorting Chen Yichen to Kyoto would leak the news, which led to the assassination of Cuilingyi.

"How did your father decide on this matter?" Although Father Wu has retired to the court, he still has a certain prestige in the hearts of the ministers, and even His Majesty will give a little bit of thin face.

"The last general has just entered the city, and my father does not know about it. ”

"In that case, don't let him know about it yet, and the fewer people who know about it, the better. The prime minister looked at the sky outside and said, "Today is the day of the court meeting, and you will enter the palace with the prime minister to meet Your Majesty." ”

"Wow. ”

"I will do my best to protect you in front of Your Majesty, but the holy will is unpredictable, and we can't speculate on the holy will, and the virtuous nephew must be mentally prepared. The prime minister looked at him meaningfully and said, "You go down first to change your clothes, dress up as your entourage, and quietly enter the palace." ”

"Wow. Commander Wu slowly withdrew from the study, feeling a little comforted. The purpose of coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion is to get to the bottom first, this matter is very important, if there is no one behind him to secretly support him, I am afraid that he will be more than lucky.

As the commander of the army, he is not afraid of death, but he just doesn't want to die so much. A manly man deserves to gallop across the field, even if he returns with a horse leather shrouded in the end, it is also an honor.

After the court meeting dispersed, Commander Wu waited in front of the imperial study to be summoned by Emperor Jing. Prime Minister Jin Cheng entered the scene where he already had a stick of incense, but he hadn't come out at the moment, which made him feel a little more worried. After another half pillar of incense, I saw the prime minister frowning and walked out slowly.

"Prime Minister, is Your Majesty going to summon me?" Commander Wu stepped forward and saw that Prime Minister's face was sinking like water, and he secretly said that it was not good.

"Your Majesty's dictation. The prime minister tidied up his clothes, stood up straight, saw Commander Wu kneeling, and said, "I already know about this matter, and I will deal with it." General Wu bravely killed the enemy on the front line, took the lead, and was not afraid of life and death, and I was deeply grateful. He was promoted to hussar general, still serving under the great general Fuji Zhe, and returned to Mocheng two days later. ”

"The last general, Wu Gang, thanked His Majesty Longen. Commander Wu gave a big gift of gratitude, but there was displeasure in his heart, this official position was not completely based on his own military exploits. Obviously, Emperor Jing wanted to gag his mouth.

"General Wu, please get up quickly. The prime minister helped him up, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Congratulations to General Wu for his promotion." ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister. This set of secular etiquette is inevitable in the palace, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are secretly resisting, and said: "The last general will be flattered by this heavenly grace, and he will spare no effort to serve His Majesty Longen." ”

"General Wu is promoted, and he has a little thin wine, and I hope that General Wu will appreciate it. The prime minister made a look, lowered his voice and said, "There are many eyes and ears in the palace, go back to the house to talk about it in detail." ”

"Thank you, Prime Minister. Commander Wu turned around and followed the prime minister, and the two slowly walked outside the palace.

Fifty miles outside Kyoto, a convoy drove through the snow. Looking at the dress, you can't see which powerful family must be out of the city to play, there are guards riding tall horses in front and behind, and the middle chariot is driven by four horses. Snow covered the road, which did not affect the convoy in the slightest.

"Stop. ”

Someone shouted, and the convoy slowly stopped. Soon, a guard ran in front of the convoy, stood outside the car, and said, "Childe, there is a person passing out on the road ahead. ”

"Who?"

"A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy seems to be caused by the cold. ”

"Take a closer look, and if you're dead, find a place to bury it. If he still has a breath, he will be lifted into the chariot. The curtain had not been lifted, and I did not know who was sitting in it, but it did not seem to be very old.

"Wow. ”

The guard turned to leave, and it wasn't long before the two of them walked slowly with one of them. The driver didn't know what to say to the people inside, so he lifted the curtain and motioned for the two to carry the man into the car.

"Be light, and don't hurt him. The guards in the car were rude and gently reprimanded.

"Childe, this person's identity is unknown, you have to be more careful, it is better to let the servants serve inside. "The coachman was his servant and had to think about the safety of his master.

"You're too worried, a comatose teenager, can you still kill me? ”

The owner of the car refused his request, and he did not dare to force it, so he could only prick up his ears, pay close attention to the sound in the car, and be ready to rush in at any time. secretly said in his heart: The master is still too kind.

Looking at the people in the car again, the eyebrows are clear and beautiful, the facial features are upright and elegant, although the eyebrows are twisted together at this time, they still can't stop the special momentum revealed.

"If you wear such a thin outfit and don't freeze to death in the cold wind, it's your fate. He said to himself, took out the handkerchief in his arms, soaked it in hot water, and wiped the dirt on his face, only to find that the young man's hands were tattered and bleeding.

Hey, I can't imagine that there is such a miserable child, who died alone in the snow, if he hadn't passed by himself, I am afraid that he would have died. Thinking of this, his face showed unbearable expression, and his eyebrows tightened. In the face of this world, there is always too much helplessness. He took off his robe and draped it over him. Pick up a medicine pillow that you carry with you and place it under your head. Then I picked up the book on the table and continued to read.

The team continued on the road. It's cold and windy outside, but it's warm inside. After an hour, the young man's eyes slowly opened, and he tried to get up but was weak.

"Are you awake?" the boy in the carriage apparently noticed the boy's actions, put the book in his hand on the table, and said, "How do you feel?"

"Where am I?"

Seeing that the boy wanted to sit up, it was not easy for him to rely on himself, so he took advantage of the situation and pulled him and leaned against the side wall.

"Let's drink some porridge first. Seeing that his lips were white and his face was like earth, Childe picked up the porridge on the table, shook a spoonful and sent it to the young man's mouth, and said, "It's freezing cold, you passed out on the side of the road, and you almost died." ”

"You saved me. A bowl of porridge was drunk in a blink of an eye.

Childe smiled but didn't answer, in fact, there was no need to answer. People are already in the car, and if they answer yes, they don't seem to be mentally retarded.

"Who are you? How could you be alone in the snow?"

"I ......" the young man's eyes flashed with pain, and he said, "I fled here and wanted to go to Kyoto, but I fainted for some reason." ”

"I see. Childe naturally caught the pain flashing in the young man's eyes, but he didn't want to ask, for fear that it would cause him to be reminded of the past, and comforted: "It just so happens that my car is on the way to Kyoto, and you and I can go all the way." ”

"Thank you for saving your life, if you have the opportunity to meet in the future, you will repay the favor. The boy didn't know if he would have a chance to see him again in this life, but the chance was slim, and when he arrived in Kyoto, he had no intention of leaving alive.

"There is no need to repay the favor, how much effort is enough to worry about it. The boy in the car smiled slightly, didn't take it seriously at all, and said, "You can rest first, and you will be in Kyoto in half an hour." ”

The two stopped talking, and Childe picked up the book on the table and continued to read.

The young man in the car leaned against the side wall, his empty eyes through the window, and he could only see the snow covered outside, but the voice and appearance of a girl always appeared in his head. The young man secretly said in his heart: Don't worry, even if I die in Kyoto, I will give you justice.
