Chapter 172 Midnight

Xu Zi was destined to leave first, but Wang Zhi could stay in Jingshi for a while, and he made such a great contribution to protect Han Zhong's safety, and no one would ever trouble him about his return.

In Beijing, he will be able to take care of the affairs of officialdom and have a stable friendship with Han Zhong, and then Wang Zhi will be able to consider the issue of succession, and then straighten out this matter, and he will be able to return to Mingzhou to retire.

This is Wang Zhi's last chance, if he can't catch it, he can only linger at sea and wait for death.

Therefore, Xu Zixian is quite considerate, and Wang Zhi also wants to seize the opportunity to protect Han Zhong, and Wang Zhi must do it.

Besides, there is another one, Xu Zixian used to be unfriendly with Han Zhong, although now he has abandoned his previous suspicions, after all, he is still a little embarrassed, Xu Zi went to Liu Zhiyuan first, which is the most appropriate.

"I hope the old man is right...... Wang Zhi appeased Han Zhong, who was uneasy, but he was a little uneasy, Xu Zixian's subordinates did seem to be rare elites, but sometimes it seemed inaccurate, Lang Wei in front of him, which one is not a seven-foot man? When the fight really started, Wang Zhizhen was confident that he would lead his subordinates to rush out and kill the Lang Wei of more than 1,000 people.

Xu Zixian's soldiers and horses, are they elite, or do they look good?

Only to deliver the will of heaven, if things are not harmonious, of course Wang Zhi will not stay in the prime minister's mansion and wait for death, but will lead his subordinates to kill out of the city gate, he has already prepared at the city gate, once it is not right, he will kill the city, hang people out of the city with a long rope, how much can escape, such a big thing, of course, is also to fight for life, how many people can survive, it also depends on the will of heaven.

……

Xu Xingwei only learned that such a terrible change had occurred after receiving a short brief from Xu Zixian in the afternoon and rushing to the Harmony Hall.

Xu Zixian didn't even inform Wei Yi, if this matter fails, Xu Zixian will definitely not be lucky, Wei Yi is just an ordinary man from a civil official family, and he may not be implicated.

Even if he is implicated, he will be sent back to Fujian and will not be severely punished.

Xu Xingwei is different, with his national surname, originally because of his deep friendship with Xu Zixian, the worst result is to deprive the halberd Zhonglang of his official position, and the position of instructor of the martial arts hall will definitely not be able to keep it, but that's it, the court is turbulent, and the Son of Heaven will not be too harsh on the family with the surname of the clan.

"Once Brother Zizhang is involved...... Xu Xingwei remembers what Xu Zi first said: "The best result is to be driven back to Fujian, and the bad result is to go to prison or even die." ”

What did you say at the time?

Xu Xingwei doesn't remember very well, but he doesn't regret his decision.

Whether in Fuzhou or Jingshi, Xu Xingwei has already recognized one thing, Mingda is not a thing in the pool, if he wants to achieve something in this life, and really make the family return to the clan and go to the next level, then he must follow Mingda.

This position is also supported by Xu Xingwei's father, which also makes Xu Xingwei have no worries.

I won't be blamed by my clan and father, at most I will implicate myself, so it doesn't matter.

Life and death are important matters, but young people in their twenties are not too afraid of life and death, and when their blood is surging, they really can't care about anything.

Xu Xingwei is not the kind of hot-blooded temper, but his character is more tenacious and assertive.

Since you have decided to help, you have to do a good job of the incident.

In the afternoon, Xu Xingwei asked for leave, then put on Zhonglang's official robe, and took a few henchmen to the Good Family Hall to see Xu Zicheng.

That Wu Guogong was really stupid, Xu Xingwei took the forged edict, read it out, and then ordered Xu Zicheng to go to Liu Zhiyuan's mansion.

The excuse is, of course, that Xu Zixian and Han Zhong colluded to rebel, and the Son of Heaven decided to keep Wu Guogong in Beijing, and Liu Zhiyuan, the governor of the political council, temporarily protected Wu Guogong's safety.

Xu Zicheng's mouth was crooked at that time, so isn't he equal to the prince?

Even if you can't be a brother and a brother, you can choose Xu Zicheng's son as the prince, and Wu Guogong will of course change the title of King Wu, just like King Zhao who is now in Fuzhou.

A rich and noble business, and this is it?

Xu Zicheng was like in a dream, he didn't have the slightest suspicion at all, and directly took people to Jishoufang.

After dark, the streets of Jingshi are silent everywhere, the doors of the people and officials' homes are closed, the large area from Guanglu Street to the West Market was originally extremely prosperous, after dark, the big restaurants will hang dozens or hundreds of lanterns, the lights are incomparably bright, and countless guests linger in these restaurants.

At this moment, the streets that were originally as bright as day were dark, and no one dared to light candles, and even those arrogant people who were waiting for the exams the day after tomorrow were also silent and hid one by one.

In such a chaotic political situation, under the blade of the mutiny, the identity of the juzi can't protect them, and when they really encounter the rebels, when Xiucai meets the soldiers, I am afraid that it is a good head, and it is likely to be beheaded by an illiterate rough man, which is really a great wrong.

And no matter who wins or loses, as long as the Great Wei is there and the Son of Heaven is there, the imperial court will always conduct scientific examinations as usual.

Xu Xingwei is also waiting for the military attache examination, his Zhonglang is only an eight-rank official position, and he is sponsored to enter the palace by a child of a family with a national surname, this kind of official position is actually his own dry food, Lang Guan has no money, just a kind of qualification to walk in the palace and approach the Son of Heaven. Only the families of the powerful can afford this kind of investment.

Once you pass the martial arts examination, you can officially enter the ranks of the Great Wei military attachés, and the previous qualifications can be used and become the real political capital.

The dark avenue in front of you is like the mouth of a giant beast, which makes people feel chilled and frightened.

In Guanglufang, not far away, there are obviously the shouts and noises of the guards, when Xu Xingwei and others pass by, they deliberately look at the past, and it is just a dark and dull piece, only the part of Xiangguo's mansion, there seems to be a bright light transmitted, but it is very faint, giving people the feeling that it is an illusion.

A halberd man said in a deep voice: "Brother Zizhang, our net worth and life are entrusted to Nan Anhou, I don't know if he can really break through the Great Staff Mansion?" ”

Xu Xingwei smiled: "Chonggoro, you are also afraid?" ”

"It's a matter of life and soul, so I have to be afraid."

"To be honest, I don't know if Mingda can really break through the defenses of Liu Zhiyuan's mansion." Xu Xingwei sighed and said to the seed from Qin Fenglu: "Weili, you and Yao Weicheng are my brothers, Xu Mingda is too, you are all from a Western Army family, you have seen a lot of battles and battles, but my knowledge is shallow, for the subordinates led by Mingda, I only see its appearance, I don't know its reason, but I only see that the department is strict, the order is prohibited, and when I am in Beijing, it is also a daily drill, and the soldiers have no complaints, from this, I can judge that Mingda is an elite soldier, but the matter of the battle array, I actually only get it in the war book, is it really as I see." , I dare not assert. ”

A short and sturdy Lang Wei on the side said in a deep voice: "The department is strict, and the orders are as good as you want, and you are indeed elite." Whether it can succeed or not, and it depends on the changes in the situation of the battle formation, I have been in the army with my father and ancestors since I was a child, even if I have more strikes and fewer blows, my elders do not dare to say that we will win, we have reached this point, and the rest is only the result of change. ”

Xu Xingwei, Chongji, and Yao Pingzhong, who spoke, are all the halberd Lang Wei, species, Yao and the two are inherited for hundreds of years in the late Tang Dynasty Western Army family, different from other families, the Western Army family, all of them are to bring their children to the battle array since childhood, Qin Feng Road and Yongxing Army, as well as Hedong Road and other places, facing the Beiyu and Xiqiang both sides of the attack, the war is not stopped, all states and counties have a large number of folk bow and arrow clubs, and often manage the people to go into battle, the children of the Jiangmen family, but also since childhood to go to the battlefield to see, and after the crown, most of them will go to Beijing to serve as Lang Wei, Drawing on the experience of being an official in Beijing, it is generally after two or three years in Beijing and after being a martial artist, he begins a formal career as a military attaché.

Of course, there are also rough men who have been fighting at the border with Enyin, as long as they have more heads, they can also be cut all the way to the command of Xiangdu.

Chong Ji and Yao Pingzhong have enough actual combat experience, and they are also calm in such a dark and silent environment, and they are calm and easy, even if they do such a big thing against the sky with Xu Xingwei, it has never made these two people breathe more quickly.

The only thing the two are worried about is that they will be implicated in the family, but the Western Army family is generally deep-rooted, and the two have already made up their minds that once they fail, they will commit suicide by cutting their throats with a knife, which is the death of a martial artist, and the two have seen it a lot since they were children.

As long as the people involved commit suicide, the imperial court and Liu Zhiyuan will not be too harsh, once the Western Army family is traced, it is likely to make the overall situation of the Western Route Military State unstable.

That's a deadly thing.

The three of them rode forward slowly, the sound of broken horses' hooves broke the deep darkness, Xu Xingwei couldn't help but feel a little nervous in his heart, he really didn't have the slightest actual combat experience in military affairs, this time it was a tempering of his courage. And even more fortunate is that there are these two bold partners around him, if Yu Yao and the two help each other, Xu Xingwei doesn't know if he can do a good job of the things entrusted by Xu Zixian?

The sound of horses' hooves did not stop, and the three of them finally entered the door of Jishoufang, and at a glance, there was already a fire in front of them, and the sound of shouting and killing could be heard from afar.

"Shall we go and help, or shall we just take a closer look?" Yao Pingzhong licked his lips and looked eager to try.

Yao Pingzhong has been fighting in the army since he was a child, his short body is full of strength, he uses the step bow as a riding bow, riding on horseback to shoot, heavy arrows are enough to break people's backbones, within a hundred steps, every arrow must hit, although he is only in his early twenties, he is already the most famous marksman of Qin Fenglu and Yongxing Army.

Tanki's hand was also pressed on the barrier knife, his hand bones were thick, and the skin on his hands was extremely rough, not at all like a child from a rich family.

Is a farmer a family short of money? It's just that I have to boil my body and hone my will since I was a child, and it's just a trivial matter to be like this, looking at Yao Pingzhong's tiger's mouth, and his deformed arms, how can the children of the Jiangmen family of the Western Army be so easy to emerge and get ahead?

Just thinking about it again, Chongji suppressed his agitated emotions, and said in a deep voice: "Look at it from a distance, what we are doing now, once we die, the court will not chase the poor, if we participate in the war, as long as we lose, we will definitely implicate the family, and the two of us will not hesitate to take our own lives, and we will not care about the family, then we are really sinners." ”

"Okay." Yao Pingzhong's momentum has risen, like a mad tiger, and that kind of crazy battle spirit has even affected Chong Ji and Xu Xingwei, but he still holds down his emotions and suppresses the momentum little by little.

The three of them continued on their way, bypassing several dark mansion compounds, and it was likely that there were people watching the three of them from those dark watchtowers, but the three of them didn't care, and only rode their horses towards the shouting place in front of them.

"Here we are." The firelight was flourishing, coming out of the deepest darkness, and seeing a large area of firelight at once, Xu Xingwei even felt that it was too dazzling, and his eyes couldn't help but squint.

Yao Pingzhong and Chong Ji also stopped, both of them with wide eyes, looking at the battlefield in front of them.
