After Captain Yuan, Wei Baihu and Jin Yichuan entered the imperial city, it was already twilight, and at this time in the past, outsiders were already forbidden to enter the palace.

Fortunately, Wei Baihu showed his brocade guard waist card, so that the northern soldiers were able to let the three of them go.

turned all the way, and finally under the leadership of Wei Baihu, the three of them came to the door of a small hall in the west corner of the Jinling Palace.

Although this small hall was empty outside except for the three of them, for some reason, I could always feel a chill pass through my heart.

Captain Yuan also came here for the first time, and couldn't help but shudder.

Wei Baihu stepped forward and knocked on the door, lowered his voice, and said

"The commander is an adult, and the little Wei Zhongxian is in a hurry to see."

"Wei Zhongxian? It's so late, what's the report? If it's not urgent, then come back tomorrow, my father-in-law has already slept. ”

Wei Zhongxian frowned and continued

"100,000 urgent matters, I hope your forgiveness father-in-law, please inform the commander of the envoy, Wei Zhongxian is here to thank you."

The little eunuch inside the door muttered for a while, and finally replied reluctantly

"That's okay, wait outside the door, but if you don't want to get up, then you can't complain about our family."

"Thank you, father-in-law"

After Wei Zhongxian finished saying this, he turned around and walked to Captain Yuan's side, his face a little ugly.

"This little eunuch in the palace has always had some grudges with me, and I hope he won't declare his personal vendetta and delay this matter."

Yuan Xiaowei was still a little confused at first, but he reacted after Wei Zhongxian said this, it turned out that the person who had just spoken to Wei Zhongxian was a little eunuch, tsk, no wonder the voice was different.

After a while, the door of the hall was opened from the inside, and the little eunuch covered half of his cheek, and said unwillingly to the three people outside the door with a blue face

"Come in, father-in-law, he's waiting for you inside."

Wei Zhongxian's eyes stared, looking at the half of the cheeks covered by the little eunuch, his heart blossomed, this little eunuch, it is estimated that he was slapped by the commander, hey, this little eunuch, don't remember this hatred on me because of this kind of thing.

But now is not the time to think about this, Wei Zhongxian called Jin Yichuan and Captain Yuan, and the three of them lowered their steps and entered the palace gate.

When the three of them entered the palace gate, they saw that the god-in-law was sitting on a chair in the hall at this time, holding his forehead with one hand and looking at the three of them with his eyes.

The little eunuch wanted to close the door of the palace when he saw the three of them coming in, but he only heard the dry father-in-law command him in a cold tone

"Go out and wait, close the door, and no one shall enter without my orders, or else you will go to the prison tomorrow and sleep for the night."

The little eunuch almost couldn't stand on his legs after hearing the word edict, so he hurriedly went out of the palace gate and closed the palace door with his backhand, and went to the edict prison to sleep for a night, which would not cost his life.

After the door of the hall was closed, the light of this small hall suddenly dimmed, Wei Zhongxian saw this, skillfully walked to the side, turned out a few candles, took out the fire fold from his arms, lit it, and carefully placed it on the left and right sides of the main hall, after doing this, he stood back in his original position.

"What's going on today? It's so late, you still have a trip to the palace, and even Captain Yuan is here, what's the matter? Something happened to the Nanyue Palace? ”

Father-in-law's eyelids raised slightly, Wei Zhongxian and Jin Yichuan were responsible for monitoring the Nanyue Palace, and Wei Zhongxian had a stable personality, and if he came to see him at this time, there must be something wrong with the Nanyue Palace.

As for this Captain Yuan, he is not blind, this person can be regarded as a naked royal diehard, and in some respects, he is still a person along the way.

"The commander is right, today, something did happen to the Nanyue Palace, the king of Nanyue himself, was assassinated by assassins, but fortunately, Yichuan appeared in time at that time, and the king of Nanyue fortunately only injured his right arm, and has now been treated by the imperial doctor, and there is no major problem."

Wei Baihu arched his hands and lowered his head and respectfully reported to his father-in-law.

And the father-in-law raised his eyebrows, raised some interest, and said

"The assassination of the King of Nanyue, if it's not a big deal, it's not an urgent matter, right?"

After saying this, Grandpa Qiangong glanced at Captain Yuan's reaction, and saw that Captain Yuan's face was indifferent, and the corners of Grandpa Qian's mouth rose slightly.

It seems that this Captain Yuan doesn't treat the king of Nanyue very well, and he is really a royalist faction who is only loyal to His Majesty, which is interesting.

Captain Yuan glanced at Jin Yichuan, and after the two looked at each other, Captain Yuan's tone suddenly became heavy and said

"Commander, that assassin, his subordinates think it's a trick."

"Weird?! Wei Zhongxian, are you kidding? ”

Father-in-law frowned, is this Wei Zhongxian dizzy? How many years have it been, and it stands to reason that the little guy has turned into a nameless skeleton in the wilderness, is this Wei Zhongxian out of his mind?

However, Wei Zhongxian's tone remained unchanged, but he said more affirmatively

"Your Excellency, your subordinates can recognize that the sophistication of the assassination method is an old man from my brocade guard."

"Hmph, if the old man of my Jinyi Guard assassinates the King of Nanyue, the King of Nanyue will only hurt one arm?"

Father-in-law Qiangong stared at Wei Zhongxian coldly and said, what kind of defense does the Nanyue Royal Mansion have? Not even a grade monk, right? If the old man of his Jinyi Guard assassinated him, if the King of Nanyue was still alive, what face would he, Jinyiwei, have to stand in the world?

Wei Zhongxian knelt on the ground with a thud and continued unrelentingly

"Lord Commander, subordinates, subordinates are the methods seen from the corpse of a strong man in the palace, the killing method is the method of my Jinyiwei, the sophistication of the technique, even the subordinates are ashamed of themselves, besides, it is still a quenching dagger."

Father-in-law stood up from the chair, walked up to Wei Zhongxian, bent down and gently hooked Wei Zhongxian's chin with one finger, and said coldly

"So you think it's a trick? Wei Zhongxian, are you stupid in the brain? A mere quenching of poisonous daggers and murder methods can make you so sure of a hundred households? ”

Father-in-law Qian's face was already a little unhappy at this time, this Wei Zhongxian came to disturb himself at this time, and it seems that there is nothing worth mentioning to him now, if it weren't for Wei Zhongxian's fact that he is also an old man, he would have kicked it by now.

Seeing that Father-in-law's tone suddenly became urgent, he couldn't feel the change in Father-in-law's tone, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly took out the small bottle from his arms, handed it to Father-in-law, and said

"Lord Commander, this, this is the fog developed by the trick back then, even if it is my Jinyi Wei now, there is also this fog in the configuration of the Thousand Households."

Father-in-law's face changed, he took the small bottle from his father-in-law's hand, gently probed the tip of his nose to the mouth of the bottle, and after feeling the faint mist remaining in the bottle, Father-in-law Qiangong subconsciously took two steps back, and the small bottle in his hand also fell to the ground.

"It's a fog, weird?! He was still alive. ”

Now Zi Qian's father-in-law finally believed what Wei Zhongxian said, this Tianwu even he still has a bottle on his body now, this is also a great masterpiece developed when he was still in Jinyiwei, even if he is the commander of Jinyiwei, he is full of praise for it, but because of the high cost and scarcity of manufacturing materials, at present, Jinyiwei only has a bottle of Jinyiwei at the level of a thousand households in the monthly case.

As for the thousands of households of Jinyiwei will go to assassinate the Nanyue Palace, this idea will be extinguished directly, and now the fourteen thousand households of Jinyiwei are all lined up with tasks by the Qiangong, and none of them are in Jinling, and it is impossible for them to appear in the Nanyue Palace's palace to assassinate the Nanyue King during this time period.

Sophisticated Jinyiwei style killing methods, sky fog, quenching daggers.

Is it really you, little one?

Sly.

And Captain Yuan on the side also simply pulled Jin Yichuan and the two to stay silent, anyway, now it seems that Wei Zhongxian is right, the Jinyi Wei with the code name is confirmed by the god-in-law that it is indeed him.

Father-in-law sighed, turned around and sat back in his chair, rubbed his temples, and said

"Captain Yuan, you should want to know who this trick is from my Jinyi Guard, right?"

Captain Yuan nodded, it seems that this trick should have been the leader in Jinyiwei, it stands to reason that Qianhu can't run away until now, Jinyiwei's generous treatment, he has already heard of it, as far as he, the captain of Jinling, indeed, even if he is a state pastor, he will only bow his head by half a head, and he can still press the other party against some barren state ministers, but the Qianhu of Jinyiwei, the theoretical official rank is lower than him, but how dare he take the official rank in front of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, The other party called himself an adult, and he could afford to be an adult, not to mention the thousands of households of Jinyiwei, which involved some of Nanli's top secrets, and the fact that Jinyiwei itself was a good knife in the hands of Emperor Li, and the thousand households of Jinyiwei were not exaggerated to say that they were close associates of Emperor Li.

So he couldn't figure out why that trickster would abandon the future of at least a thousand households and betray Jinyiwei.

"Trick, he, used to be my proudest apprentice, there is no one, well, although the current Qi Wuxian is more talented than him, but some of the things he left in my heart, Qi Wuhate him, it can't be compared."

After saying this to himself, his father-in-law changed his words and continued with a wry smile

"This kid was picked up by me on the side of the road in the countryside when he was five years old, when he picked him up, he was still a ragged little beggar, fatherless and motherless, at that time I saw that he was pitiful and accepted him as an apprentice, at first I didn't have the idea of letting him join the Jinyiwei this place of right and wrong, but then when he grew up, I saw the miracle of scene after scene in him, and finally, this little guy volunteered to join Jinyiwei at the age of nine, which is the youngest person in the history of Jinyiwei, But although he is not very old, but this little guy can always give me to him some exercises to practice like a fish in water, among the hundred soldiers, he likes daggers the most, he is born with a perception of pharmacology, he often stays alone in the Jinyi Wei Yamen to prepare all kinds of poisons and mist, Tianwu, it is also a masterpiece he created for Jinyiwei, even if twenty years have passed, Tianwu is still used by my Jinyiwei. ”

Father-in-law Qian's surprisingly patience told the three of them some tricky things, and later, Captain Yuan also understood.

This trick can be regarded as the leader of the Jinyi Guard two eras ago, but later because of a dispute with a thousand households, he rebelled against the Jin Yi Guard, and finally when he escaped from the Jin Yi Wei edict, he seriously injured the Jin Yi Wei Thousand Households who started a dispute with him, and then later, there was no news of him.

After all these years, it is no wonder that Father-in-law Qiangong did not believe in the existence of treachery at the beginning.

However, after Father-in-law Qiangong finished speaking, Captain Yuan stepped forward without hesitation, knelt down, and said respectfully to Father-in-law Qian

"Commander Qian, talking to the juniors about these old things, you should have something to help you with, right?"

Nonsense, this guy with a code name is one of the secrets of Jinyiwei at a glance, and now he is known by Captain Yuan, not to mention that Father-in-law also talked about the past in detail, all kinds of these things, he Yuan Lieutenant, a person who has nothing to do with Jinyiwei, knows this secret, obediently, sorry, I still want to live a little longer.

Father-in-law laughed, this little guy is not stupid, he is quite knowledgeable about current affairs, no wonder he can be in the position of captain of Jinling for so long.

"It's not a big deal, it's just a gesture for you."

"Commander Qian, please speak, junior listen"

"Didn't the king of Nanyue have injured his right arm, Jin Yichuan."

Suddenly being mentioned by his father-in-law, Jin Yichuan hurriedly stepped forward and also knelt down and bowed his head and replied

"The subordinates are here."

"This Jin Yichuan of my Jinyi Guard, from tomorrow, will he be Captain Yuan's personal guard?"

"What?"

The three of them were suddenly confused, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd, this circle is a little too big, they didn't react for a while.

Father-in-law Qiangong pressed one hand on Jin Yichuan's head and said softly to Captain Yuan

"Is this good?"

"It's a trivial matter, but it's okay."

Although Captain Yuan didn't understand what Father-in-law Qian's meant, this request was indeed a gesture, and he had also heard of Jin Yichuan's skills, a good hand, it was more than enough to be his personal guard, and this matter was earned by himself.

"In this case, I have one more request, Captain Yuan, this incident in the Nanyue Royal Mansion will be handed over to me Jinyiwei to deal with, okay?"

"This matter is easy to hear, and the junior has this plan."

Captain Yuan did not hesitate to respond to this matter neatly, if he arrested the former Jinyiwei codenamed Wei, if he counted on these people under him, it is estimated that he will not be able to catch them next year, and to deal with this kind of person, he still has to ask Jinyiwei to come out.

"Then it'll be fine, what else do you have? If it's all right, go away. ”

After Xiao Wei Yuan hesitated for a while, he finally stumbled and said to his father-in-law again

"Commander, there is a matter that juniors don't know whether to report to you or not."

Father-in-law spread his palms and motioned for Captain Yuan to continue

After Captain Yuan got the affirmation of his father-in-law, he breathed a sigh of relief and said

"The junior got some news through some channels early this morning, Beigen's Yandi Nine Horsemen are suspected of entering Jinling City, but the clues are broken when they arrive at the Nanyue Palace, it is precisely because of this matter that the junior will take people to the Nanyue Palace, I don't know if you know something?"

Father-in-law raised his eyebrows, this is a little interesting, Yan Dijiu rode into Jinling?

"I haven't heard of it."

Since this little guy didn't want to say how he got the news, he still didn't ask, and he didn't have to spread the word that someone said I was bullying children.

"It's just that the Yandi Nine Cavalry does intend to enter my Nanli, I know about this matter, the little emperor of the Beigen Empire mentioned this matter to me Nanli last month, and will send Yandi Jiuqi to my Nanli to discuss some affairs on the same day."

After a pause, Father-in-law Qiangong continued

"This matter is approved by His Majesty, Yandi Jiuqi came here and I left the south, which represents the transmission of the goodwill of the Beigen royal family, and the assassination of the King of Nanyue should not have anything to do with Yandi Jiuqi."

The situation of the little emperor in Beigen, who doesn't know these people in Nanli, Yandi Jiuqi is now the little emperor's life-saving card, in this case, how could that little emperor instruct Yandi Jiuqi to participate in the assassination of Nanli Wangye in such a thing.

"If that's the case, it should be that the news is wrong, then the junior has nothing to say."

Captain Yuan bowed to his father-in-law and got up, and after seeing his father-in-law nod, he turned around and walked out of the small hall.

After he left the small hall, he only saw the little eunuch standing under an old tree and buckling the bark, Captain Yuan shook his head with a smile, didn't care about him, and walked out on his own.

After that, in this small hall, only Wei Zhongxian, Jin Yichuan and Qiangong were left.

Father-in-law patted Jin Yichuan on the shoulder and patiently explained to Jin Yichuan

"Yichuan, you are going to serve as a personal guard next to the junior of the Yuan family, there is no task assigned to you in a short time, you just need to remember that from tomorrow, you will not be a Jinyi guard, you must adapt to the new identity as soon as possible, this is of great use."

After saying this, seeing that Wei Zhongxian's face was wrong, Father-in-law Qiangong smiled and said to Wei Zhongxian again

"You guy, don't think too much, I didn't mean to harm that junior of the Yuan family when I sent Yichuan over, Yichuan is just going for some future layouts."

Listening to what Father-in-law said about it, Wei Zhongxian relieved his heart, to be honest, he thought at the beginning that Father-in-law Qiangong sent Jin Yichuan to serve as a personal guard next to Captain Yuan to attack Captain Yuan, after all, who let Captain Yuan know about the trick, but now after getting the guarantee of Father-in-law Qian, he can be regarded as having peace of mind.

"Alright, you two, step down too."

Seeing Wei Zhongxian and Jin Yichuan get up and salute themselves, Father-in-law Qiangong waved his hand, and then the two of them turned around and walked out of the small hall.

After the two saw the little eunuch, Wei Zhongxian pouted at Jin Yichuan, and pretended not to see it and wanted to go away, but the little eunuch was not like this, the little eunuch wanted to leave when he saw Wei Zhongxian coming out, so he ran directly in front of the two and stopped the two, and said to Wei Zhongxian in an unkind tone

"Wei Zhongxian, tell you, don't expect to speak ill of our family in front of my father-in-law, our family is not afraid of you."

Wei Zhongxian smiled and said helplessly

"Okay, okay, don't say it, then father-in-law, the two of us may leave?"

The little eunuch snorted coldly, got out of the way, and after seeing the two of them walk away, the little eunuch spat on Wei Zhongxian's back.

At this time, under a hillside not far from Jinling City, Yandi Jiuqi was resting by a stream.

"Boss, we're going to rest outside the city tonight?"

The young man lay limply on horseback and muttered to the middle-aged man

"It's just a little distance from Jinling, it will be half an hour at most, isn't it good to go to the inn to rest?"

The middle-aged man said with a smile at the young man

"You little slippery head, do you know there's a temple just a short distance ahead?"

"What's wrong with the temple, boss, go to the temple to have a meal or something, isn't it good to order food at the inn? I've heard that there are so many delicacies in Nanli, I have long wanted to try it, that is, boss, you have to let us go into the city to rest along the way, we can only eat dry food, please, boss, let's come to Nanli The people of Nanli don't know, what are you afraid of, this is not the Central Plains. ”

The middle-aged man took the horsewhip and gently slapped the young man's back without much force, and said

"You little slippery head, who said that you are going to turn into a fate, you little slippery head believes in Buddhism? You little slippery head, do you know that an old monk in the temple is the one who must be visited when you come to Nanli this time. ”

The young man did not move at all even after being whipped by the horsewhip, still lying on the back of the horse, and said to the middle-aged man

"Who has such a big face, you have to visit."

"Hehe, that old monk, the iron arrow of the Dao."

The young man immediately jumped off the horse after hearing the iron arrow, where is there still the look of no energy just now, now he is simply refreshed.

"Iron Arrow Zen Master? , boss, why didn't you say it earlier, visit the Iron Arrow Zen Master, this can't be cleaned up, Boss, why are you too old to do things, say it earlier, you see I'm dirty now, wouldn't it seem that I don't pay attention to this visit if I go to visit the Iron Arrow Zen Master. ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he whipped it down again, but this time the intensity was significantly increased, and the young man who smoked it screamed directly.

"You little slippery head, what? Didn't you just shout at this? As soon as I heard that it was the Iron Arrow Zen Master, I became energetic? Let me tell you, don't think I don't know what's going on in your little slippery head, isn't it just trying to steal two tricks from the Iron Arrow Zen Master? What else do you say, I'm not careful, won't this stream let you go down to bathe? If you make a fuss with me here, I'll whip you again. ”

Seeing that the middle-aged man's tone became serious, the young man still wanted to joke, and after laughing twice, he revealed the matter.

"Okay, I'll rest here for one night today, and I'll visit the Iron Arrow Zen Master tomorrow, do you understand?"
