The Nuosha military division died, Sun Yi committed suicide, and Zhao Liu was killed. King Xiou finally withdrew his army and promised never to do it again. This was an exciting and pleasant thing, but in this war, too many people died, and the war took place in front of the rich and prosperous capital. This made the people in the city truly experience the cruelty of war, and while they were happy, they were inevitably a little sad.

And the privy envoy Li Hongyi, who sacrificed his life to protect the country, added a strong sense of sadness to the hearts of the people.

Seven days later, Li Hongyi was buried on the northern slope of the outskirts of the city. Pursue Zhongwu and seal the king of Yongning.

The emperor personally supported the spirit, and the civil and military officials sent it off. Even on the long street, countless ordinary people spontaneously came to see off the general.

In the mighty team, only Shao An was missing.

Since the end of the war that day, Shao An'an has suffered from old illnesses again. He fell asleep in pain for a few days and has been recuperating from his injuries in the Prime Minister's Mansion. During this period, Shao Mansion closed its doors to visitors, and only Liu Ruqing took care of him day and night in front of the bed.

Zhang San, Li Honghui, Xu Lei, Gao Wei and others all paid close attention to the Prime Minister's Mansion and Shao An's movements. They wanted to persuade but were turned away, and Liu Ruqing wanted to persuade but didn't know how to speak.

On the ninth day after Li Hongyi's burial, Zhang San finally couldn't help it, relying on the fact that his right leg injury was about to heal, so he climbed over the wall and entered Shao'an's mansion.

And Shao An didn't hear Zhang San's footsteps, he leaned on the bed, quietly looking out of the window, the clouds were rolling.

"Shao An! I...... You ......" Zhang Sanyi saw Shao An and found that all the words he had prepared could not be spoken. There are no words in the world that can comfort Shao An, who is getting thinner and thinner on the bed, and can make up for the wound in his heart.

Shao An looked back at the visitor, he knew what Zhang San wanted to say, and smiled weakly: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I can see it." The battlefield is dangerous, I know it in my heart. In fact, from the first time he went out, I was prepared. But defending his family and country has been his dream since he was a child, how can I stop him from going to war? ”

"He said he wanted to be a general and defend his family and country. But he is an orphan, at a young age, how can he know what a home is and what a country is? I think he just listened to too many books before he wanted to be a general. Zhang San remembered that when they were young, they had fun all day long, lawless, and only thought about eating and waiting for death. Only Li Hongyi had the ambition of a green cloud, but he was ridiculed by the hidden guards, thinking that it was a utopian dream.

However, no one expected that Li Hongyi would finally realize the ideals of his youth, and he would have no regrets in this life.

"This is what Li Honghui entrusted me to you, your brother's...... Jade pendant. "Zhang San carefully held the jade pendant," Li Honghui said, and he was very happy when he went, and there was no pain. Giving you the jade pendant is his last wish......"

Shao An took the jade pendant with both hands and stroked the patterns on it. Li Hongyi died in the expectation of recognizing his younger brother, and died at the moment before the conspiracy was revealed......

He will never know what kind of scheming his beloved emperor has, nor will he know what kind of suffering Shao An has suffered over the years. Although his life was short, he was carefree, chic and happy.

"There's one more thing, I want to ask Brother Zhang for help." Shao An said.

"You say."

"The Guards are too powerful and poisonous. Brother Zhang is willing to give up the position of commander and ask the Holy Lord to remove the guard? ”

Since Zhang San knew the true cause of Ding Yi's death, he had long since wanted to be loyal to the saint. He nodded and said, "I'm naturally willing, but will the emperor agree?" ”

Shao An had already prepared for this, he took a small wooden box next to the pillow and handed it to Zhang San, "I haven't faced the saint in Beijing for many days, this is a military talisman, Brother Zhang will help me pay it back." ”

"I see." Zhang San took it, this is to threaten the emperor with a military talisman and withdraw the secret guard.

"There is also a seal inside, so give it to the saint as well."

Zhang San was shocked when he heard this, "You want to leave again?" ”

"Don't leave, just resign." Shao An continued to look out the window and looked in the direction of Li Hongyi's cemetery, "If I leave, I'm afraid that the tomb will be new and there will be no one to sweep it." I hope that in my lifetime, I will fold willows and carry wine, and hold a cup to sacrifice. ”

※※※※※

It didn't take long for Zhang San to propose the abolition of the Department of Guards, and although the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was surprised, they all seconded it. The Emperor pondered for a moment, and finally agreed. At this point, all the hidden guards of King An's Mansion have left Beijing one after another.

On the day of leaving, Zhang San, Li Honghui, Chen Wu, and Xu Qi said goodbye at the gate of the capital.

"Five, seventh, where are you going in the future?" Zhang San asked with a smile.

Xu Qi said casually: "Let's go to Jiangnan first, and then go to the desert to have a look." Anyway, the sky is high and the sea is wide, so you can go wherever you want. ”

"Very good." Zhang San saw that Xu Qi didn't mind losing his official position at all, but because he was out of the identity of the hidden guard, he was more comfortable and free.

Xu Qi asked Chen Wu, "Fifth brother, what about you?" ”

"I have friends in the rivers and lakes, and I guess I will be like them in the future."

"The fifth brother has outstanding martial arts, and he will definitely become a hero." Xu Qi hugged his fists, "Everyone, the green mountains don't change the green water, so don't pass by." ”

Chen Wu also said to everyone: "Farewell!" ”

Seeing the two of them go away, Li Honghui asked Zhang San: "What will you do to make a living in the future?" ”

"Have you forgotten what I do? If I don't do the hidden guard, I can still open a restaurant. Maybe soon you will hear the name of Zhang San, the owner of the world's No. 1 restaurant. ”

"Do you still use the name Zhang San? Why don't you use your real name? ”

"My real name ......" Zhang San touched his nose awkwardly, "I think Zhang San is more kind." ”

Li Honghui smiled faintly, this has to be a strange name, it will be more ugly than Zhang San!

"Hey, don't think about it. My real name, it's normal, it's very normal, it has to be normal. Zhang San emphasized, but the more he said it, the more suspicious he became.

So he hurriedly changed the topic, "Second brother, do you want to restore your original surname, called Wang Hui?" So what do you do next? ”

"After pretending to be Li Honghui for a long time, it's time to be Wang Hui again." Li Honghui said with a smile, "In the future, I may write a book and talk about it." When Shao An was free, he wrote a book of "Qimen Dunjia Collection Notes", he showed it to me, and I thought the idea was very good. I also want to write about the study of the formation, how about calling it "The New Edition of the Formation"? ”

"It's wonderful, then I can wait to read Wang Hui's masterpiece." Zhang San smiled, and finally looked at the capital reluctantly, and said to him, "Let's go." ”

The two rode lightly and rode away side by side, the breeze blowing their cloaks up and down, vaguely still showing the flamboyant appearance of the old Chang'an.

But they knew they could never go back. All the hidden guards who left knew very well in their hearts that I was afraid that if they left, it would be difficult for them to return to the capital in this life. They have offended too many people, and they have wronged too many people, and from the ministers of civil and military affairs to the common people in the capital, they will not welcome the people of the Guards Division to come back again.
