Although the courtyard of the Ouchi Guards Office is very large, occupying almost one-sixth of the Taiji Palace, there are no more than five people who are qualified to live alone in a small courtyard in this large courtyard. Since the deputy commander of the severed arm, Meng Wuving has been recuperating at home since his return, although his career has not been broken, but it is difficult to go further.

The commander made Luo Weiran not kill him, maybe he still remembered a little old feelings. But this matter is a stain that Meng Wudi can never erase on his body, and Luo Weiran can no longer regard him as a confidant.

Therefore, the few single courtyards in the front yard of the Da Nei Guard's Office, which were already a little empty, seemed even more lonely after the loss of one Meng Wuving. But what was a little surprising was that it didn't take long for Meng Wudi's vacated courtyard to be occupied.

Meng Wudi's yard was occupied by someone else, maybe it wasn't worth shocking, what was surprising was the identity of the person who lived in.

You must know that the person who can live alone in a courtyard in the Ouchi Guard Office is also Meng Wuving, the deputy commander of the Ouchi Guard.

But the new owner of this small courtyard is only a thousand households.

According to the level within the Ouchi Guard, the status of Senhu is already very high. But not to the point where you can have such privileges, at least...... The other six thousand households of the Ouchi Guard Division did not have such privileges.

This person is also the first female thousand households in the history of the Ouchi Guard.

Her name spread throughout the guard's office almost as soon as she moved into the courtyard. The people including the backyard were shocked, and then remembered the woman's name deeply in their hearts.

Mu Xiaowaist

If the people in Ouchi's guard knew that she only had the strength of the fifth grade, I was afraid that they would be even more shocked.

Since Mu Xiaoxiao lived in this small courtyard, the layout and decoration of the courtyard have changed. All that had been extravagant had been cleared out, leaving only a bookshelf, a desk, and a few chairs. The calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls have been replaced by a long red dress, striking and enchanting.

This dress is Mu Xiaoxiao's signature outfit before entering the Ouchi Guard, she has many such clothes, and the style is the same. Perhaps only she remembered that when she first wore such a long dress, a certain teenager looked straight and drooled.

He was not stingy with praise, but all Mu Xiaoxiao remembered was his eyes.

The red dress hanging on the wall was the one she wore on the day she and Fang Xie separated.

Most of the five products in the room looked a little empty and even shabby after being cleared out. Such an arrangement is obviously inconsistent with the status of the representative of this small courtyard, and even looking at the things that have been cleaned out makes others have an inexplicable sense of sadness that people will be cold as soon as they leave.

But Mu Xiaoxiao didn't care about this, and she didn't think about it at all as to whether it seemed a little ruthless. None of the things in the house were to her liking, so there was no need to stay. What did Meng Wudi, who was recuperating at home, think, she didn't bother to think about it.

Mu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting on the chair, looked at the red dress on the wall and was so stunned that she didn't even notice Mr. Zhuo walking slowly into the courtyard.

I don't know if she really didn't feel it, or if she already knew that the person who came was Zhuo Buyi.

After walking into the room, Zhuo Buyi glanced at it, and then couldn't help but shake his head slightly. The stunned woman sitting on the chair in front of him was too maverick and completely ignored many taboos in officialdom. Such a person, especially a woman, if there is no one behind him, his fate is mostly bleak.

If Meng Wudi knew that his things had been cleaned up, he was afraid that the hatred in his heart would be so strong that he couldn't dissolve. Although he has lost power, he is still the deputy commander of the Ouchi Guard. If he fought to the death for this matter, even Luo Weiran would not be able to stand on Mu Xiaoxiao's side.

She is only a thousand households, and she is a thousand households with very low strength.

"Your Friends ......"

Zhuo Buyi opened his mouth, hesitating how to continue. But Mu Xiaoxiao's reaction surprised him a little, and the woman who looked cold and indifferent suddenly turned her head and asked eagerly, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"It's not him......"

Zhuo Buyi shook his head, sat down on the chair opposite Mu Xiao's waist and said in a deep voice: "Before you went to see Fang Xie yesterday, I told you that the person who deceived Fang Xie out of Chang'an may really be an errand of the Ministry of War, and someone in the Ministry of War wants to get rid of Fang Jie. Your command in Fangu has already suppressed it, and there are still people who don't let go of Fang Xie at this time...... I think it shouldn't be the meaning of Yu Donglai, the squire of the Ministry of War, who is a person who can see the overall situation and smell clues, and will not cause chaos to the Ministry of War and His Majesty at this time. ”

"It's easy to investigate this matter, just check who has something to do with you in the military department. If you don't have anything to do with it, let's find out who has anything to do with the border city of Fan Gu. The most complicated thing is just to find out who has anything to do with Li Xiaozong and Li Yuanshan. But at the beginning, His Majesty launched a killing spree against the military department, and the people related to Li Yuanshan, including the squire Hou Junci, were all beheaded......"

Zhuo Buyi sighed and said: "I said, don't be in a hurry to do anything, I'll investigate this matter, and I'll find a way to solve it after I find out." But your missing friend has clearly gone too far...... Last night...... Someone went straight to the yamen of the military department, killed the triple gate in one go, and killed one hundred and four people, including three seven-rank and one eight-rank master. The people who broke into the army department were also seriously injured, although they escaped under the hands of a Jiupin powerhouse who rushed there, but it was estimated that it was also more than lucky. ”

Mu Xiaoxiao stood up violently, and after a few seconds of silence, he said firmly: "I'm going to see Fang Jie." ”

"I can't hold this back for long."

Zhuo Buyi shook his head and motioned for her to sit down: "The commander and the pacification envoy are on the side of the two adults, I didn't go to say." But finding out who it was wasn't too difficult for the two of them. If your friend dies, I will go and tell the commander about this matter, and casually find an excuse to prevaricate in the past, and it can even be said that the people of the rivers and lakes hate the imperial court, and it is the revenge of the Mengyuan people, as long as Your Majesty is willing to believe it. But if she hadn't died, it wouldn't have been the Ouchi Guards who were staring at it. ”

"Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, including the Yamen of the Ministry of War, are all investigating, for which Dali Temple and the Criminal Department have dispatched a large number of masters. Chang'an City is very large, but it can't withstand their ploughing and cleaning. ”

Mu Xiaoxiao's eyes were slightly glazed, and he looked at Zhuo Buyi and asked word by word: "What does Mr. mean, Shen Tianfan must die?" ”

Zhuo Buyi didn't answer, but nodded.

Mu Xiaoxiao sneered, turned around and walked out of the door: "Mr. just said the wrong thing, Shen Tianfan is not my friend, but my opponent...... But even so, if anyone wants to kill her, then kill me first. Even if we are not at odds with each other, we are still our own family. ”

She paused in her footsteps and didn't look back: "If Mr. wants to arrest me, please wait until I see Fang Xie before arresting me." The grievances between several of us are our business, but death ...... Or would rather die together. I think...... Fang Xie would have thought the same way. ”

She walked away without the slightest hesitation.

Zhuo Buyi couldn't help but smile bitterly when she looked at her back, and shook her head self-deprecatingly: "With such a temperament, sooner or later you will suffer a big loss." ”

"Do you really value her, and you're tempted?"

Someone asked.

Zhuo Buyi was not surprised at all, although Mu Xiaoxiao was the only one in the room before he walked into this small courtyard. And the man who spoke came out of the house.

"She's going to be the pinnacle, give me time."

He said.

The man who came out of the house picked a peach from the peach tree in the small yard, took out a white handkerchief, wiped it, and took a bite.

Sour and astringent, these two flavors are so strong that people frown.

But the man who eats green peaches doesn't care, and the chewing is very delicate and can even be said to be delicious.

"You know, I won't help her because of such an empty word like yours, I can't see anything beneficial to our Ouchi guard, even if she is the person you fancie, I won't help anything. If something happens to me in the future that threatens the Ouchi guards, you can eliminate me without hesitation. Same ......"

The man looked at Zhuo Buyi and said seriously: "Don't let the Ouchi guards fall into passivity. This matter is too big, so big that no one can bear the wrath of His Majesty. ”

"But...... I'll tell Your Majesty in three days, and I haven't found out what is going on. But three days at most, because Hou Wenji also gave me three days of face. ”

He turned to leave, his pace steady.

Luo Weiran didn't know when she appeared in this small courtyard, and she didn't even know when she appeared in the house. Maybe before Mu Xiaoxiao left, he was already in this small courtyard or even in the house. Or, when she sat in her chair and stared at the red dress, he stood behind her and looked at her.

Mu Xiaoxiao left so she didn't know that this man had come, and if she knew, in addition to the creepy fear, she was afraid that it would hit her confidence even harder.

Changchun Garden

The scenery in the green garden was beautiful and beautiful, because the emperor who was a little irritable in the court's heart walked out of the study and walked along the stone steps. The wind blew through the forest and brought a refreshing breath to his body, which made his heart become a lot quieter.

Su Bu, the eunuch of the imperial study, followed cautiously behind, following in the same direction.

The emperor walked to the side of the rockery, looked at the mountain high carved on it, and it was difficult to climb and step down to stabilize the sixteen words, frowned slightly, and suddenly felt that it was necessary for people to chisel off these sixteen words, and looked at it even more annoying. But after stepping out three steps, his expression immediately became stunned, and his frowning brows eased a lot.

Behind the rockery is a lotus pond, which is a good time for the lotus flowers to bloom. The lotus flowers in the blue pond are pleasing to the eye.

"Su is not afraid"

"The Slave is Here"

Su Buxing hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to wait for the emperor's orders.

"Ming'er asked a craftsman to change the sixteen words on the rockery...... Just change the last two words, the four words of steady and steady are not good, sometimes too much stability, and become cowardly. ”

"Change to what?"

Su asked without fear.

"The last two words should be born lotus."

After the emperor finished his order, he glanced back at the rockery, and continued to walk out.

Step by step

Su Buxing didn't understand what this word meant.

Changchun Garden is very large, and the emperor is also very busy, since this garden was built, the emperor has not taken it seriously and looked at it carefully. Looking out from the study, you can only see the rockery, and you can't see the lotus pond behind. If he didn't want to go out for a walk today, he still didn't know that there was a cave behind the rocks, so he was a little emotional, and he had been walking on thin ice for eleven years on the throne, and he came to this garden every year to escape the summer, but he didn't know what this garden looked like.

"Your Majesty......"

Su Buwei glanced back, and saw that Luo Weiran, the commander of the Ouchi Guard, had caught up and hurriedly reminded: "You summoned Luo Weiran here, the person has already arrived." ”

"Hmm"

The Emperor hummed and walked slowly into a gazebo and sat down. On one side of this pavilion is the lotus pond, which is rippling with blue waves, and the pink dotted in the emerald green is particularly eye-catching. The Emperor even had an urge to paint the landscape, and then it occurred to him that he hadn't touched the brush again for four or five years. When he first ascended the throne, he would occasionally draw a favorite landscape in the imperial study to calm down, and after the throne was stable, he did not touch the pen and ink again.

What used to be used to meditate doesn't seem to work anymore.

"Your Majesty"

Luo Weiran walked quickly to the outside of the pavilion and kowtowed in a proper manner.

"Get up, you have a lot to do, let's make a long story short...... What do you think of the case that the military department was almost killed. Although I handed over the matter to Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, none of them can match you in terms of experience. You have also been to the military department for an autopsy, can you see what the person who shot is what it is? ”

Luo Weiran was silent, and the emperor's face was a little unhappy after glancing at him.

"I think it's ......"

Luo Weiran took a deep breath, lowered his head and said word by word: "It should be the assassin sent by the Mengyuan Empire." ”

This answer was obviously a lie, but the Emperor nodded in satisfaction.

"Why?"

The emperor asked.

"The people of Northern Liao want to be vassals to Your Majesty, and the people of Meng Yuan are naturally unhappy, so they sent troops to attack the border city of Fangu, but they were broken by the army led by Li Yuanshan, the general of the Right Xiaowei. The Meng Yuan thief was unwilling, so he sent a peerless master to infiltrate the military department to try to steal the map of the Great Sui border army, and to steal the map, it was natural to use troops against the Great Sui. After Meng Yuan's master infiltrated the military department, he was noticed by the military attache on duty, and under the melee, the military department lost more than 100 people, but also killed and injured the master sent by Meng Yuan, preventing the Meng Yuan people from stealing the map. ”

When he said these words, Luo Weiran's body trembled slightly.

He was gambling, and when he looked up and saw a slight smile on the corner of His Majesty's mouth, he knew that he had made the right bet, and His Majesty needed such a reason now.

But soon, the smile on the emperor's lips disappeared.

The Emperor stood up and stood with his hands in his hands.

"Luo Weiran, the truth of your answer is very good, and I am very satisfied. But this truth is the truth for the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to show the people of the Great Sui, not the truth for me. Dali Temple and the Criminal Department found out will also be this truth...... However, I want more than that, if you can't find out who broke into the army department at night and killed them in seven days, I will remove your Ouchi guard commander. It's not just you...... Hou Wenji's pacification envoy also stopped doing it. ”

The emperor turned his head to look at Luo Weiran and said in a majestic tone: "In the hundred years since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, there has never been such a shameful thing. The yamen of the military department was actually washed in blood...... I wonder what kind of people have so much hatred for the military department that they would take risks. If it was done by the people of the Great Sui, then I would be sad in addition to anger. ”

"What I want is not only the murderer, but also whether there is anything dirty hidden in the military department."

He raised his head and looked up at the blue sky.

"Whoever stops me from doing what I want to do at this time, I will let him never be reborn."
