Ji Qingwen heard that someone was commanding the former nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, although he was not as useful as Li Yan, but it also aroused his curiosity, and when he saw a crack the thickness of a thumb on the windowsill, he hurriedly leaned over, and looked out with his eyes close to the gap.

I saw dozens of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits standing outside the house, but they were facing only Wei Zhongxian, who was an old dragon bell, and the ten disarmed guards beside him.

What is strange is that the Jinyi guard named Xu Chunchao, who accompanied Wei Zhongxian last night, did not stand in the Jinyi Guard, but stood closely behind Wei Zhongxian.

However, Wei Zhongxian was not timid in the face of this group of menacing brocade guards, sitting on a chair that he didn't know when and where he had moved from, squinting his eyes, and asking, "Holy decree?" Since there is a holy decree, then please come and show it to the miscellaneous family. ”

But he saw a person step forward and laughed: "Wei Zhongxian, do you think of the holy decree now?" When you murdered the loyal and poisoned the people, why didn't you think of the Holy Decree? Didn't expect the emperor? ”

The clothes on this person's body are different from those of other Jinyi Guards, and the dark blue cloth armor is not decorated with a flying fish pattern, but a unicorn complement - later Ji Qingwen asked Li Yan to know that the unicorn suit is the special clothing of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the commander is the supreme commander of the Jinyi Guard.

In the face of the chief officer of such a secret agency, Wei Zhongxian still did not have the slightest timidity, and said with a symbolic "hehe" smile: "Monkey cub, what do you know?" The miscellaneous family has always acted on orders, you are also a Jinyi guard, it is better to go back and check, if the miscellaneous family has overdone the edict and resisted the decree, it will be on the spot to cut the miscellaneous family, and the miscellaneous family has nothing to say. ”

The commander of the brocade guard said, "Don't talk about it. The decree didn't say that you should read the holy decree, so naturally there is no need for the official to show it to you. ”

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Luo Yangxing, I know that your father Luo Sigong died in the hands of the miscellaneous family." Although your father's death, the miscellaneous family also acted on the orders of the first emperor, but it is natural for you to record this account on the miscellaneous family. But if you want to take revenge, then you also have to pay attention to the regulations, there has never been a decree that you are not allowed to see the holy decree, you better simply invite the holy decree out to the miscellaneous family. ”

Luo Yangxing glanced at Wei Zhongxian with a calm face, and said, "It seems that you old gelding dog doesn't shed tears when you don't see the coffin." Well, if you want to see the decree, I will show it to you. ”

Saying that, Luo Yangxing unbuttoned the two buttons on his chest, but only took out a palm-sized note from his arms, and held it very respectfully in front of Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian couldn't sit still at this time, so he hurriedly stood up from his seat and took it with both hands, held it in the palm of his hand and watched it carefully, after a long time, Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lord Luo, the miscellaneous family looks at this word, it is indeed the emperor's own handwriting, and the seal below is also the emperor's private seal on the palace of the king of Xin." Well, that's right, it's indeed the emperor's will. ”

The corners of Luo Yangxing's mouth raised, and he was about to speak, but he heard Wei Zhongxian say again: "I'm not afraid of your Lord Luo's jokes, the miscellaneous family is actually illiterate." I have heard for a long time, Lord Luo, you are also a military general, and you are full of poetry and books, so please ask what is written on this holy decree? ”

So Luo Yangxing took back the note with both hands, carefully hid it back in his arms, and said: "The will of the Holy Lord, I want to invite you back to Beijing, and I have a few words to ask you." ”

Wei Zhongxian retreated back to his seat, raised his sparse eyebrows, and asked, "What does the emperor want to ask the miscellaneous family?" ”

Luo Yangxing's face was as calm as a piece of pig iron, and he replied: "The emperor's holy will, how can we guess?" This official only knows that he has received the will of the saint, saying that he is going to take you back to Beijing, and he doesn't know anything about it! ”

As he spoke, he raised his head again and said to Xu Chunchao, who was standing behind Wei Zhongxian: "Xu Chunchao, you were ordered to escort Wei Zhongxian to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum, and now that the holy decree has changed, then your errand will naturally become to escort Wei Zhongxian back to Beijing." Aren't you urging Wei Zhongxian to set off? ”

Xu Chunchao said with an embarrassed face: "Commander Luo, although Wei Zhongxian is bad, but in the end, he is an important minister of the first emperor, and please be a little decent in command." Along the way, Wei Zhongxian went south to Fengyang, and his body was already very tired, can you give him a leniency and let him rest for a day before setting off, and he will not miss the holy decree......"

"No way!" Luo Yangxing immediately interrupted Xu Chunchao's words, "There are many dreams at night, you must set off now, and you can't delay it for a moment." ”

Xu Chunchao suddenly knelt on the ground with a "poof", choked up and said: "Commander Luo, his subordinates also know that Wei Zhongxian is indeed a traitor. But he also saved his father's life at the beginning, and his subordinates can't help but repay such kindness. Please also ask the commander, for the sake of his subordinates who are born and die for Jinyiwei, just forgive Wei Zhongxian for one day......"

He said these words emotionally, and when the Jinyi Guards present heard it, they all bowed their heads and said nothing, and they almost echoed the plea.

However, Luo Yangxing was not moved by Xu Chunchao at all, and laughed: "Hahaha, my Jinyiwei has always paid attention to the words loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness. I didn't expect you Xu Chunchao to bow your head and kneel for a gelding...... Hmph, it can be regarded as affectionate and righteous, and it has not lived up to the flying fish suit on you. ”

Xu Chunchao said with a happy face: "So, the commander has agreed to the request of his subordinates?" ”

"Humph!" Luo Yangxing sneered, "When did I agree?" It's just a casual compliment to you, and you won't give me a retreat? ”

Xu Chunchao immediately turned his joy into sorrow, and shouted loudly: "Lord Commander, you can't do this...... You can't ...... like this," he said, and he took two steps forward, hugged Luo Yangxing's thigh, and wept bitterly.

Luo Yangxing saw that his precious unicorn suit was smeared with Xu Chunchao's snot and tears, and his heart was indescribably crooked, he raised his foot and kicked Xu Chunchao away, and suddenly said with a hideous face: "Listen to the order, Wei Zhongxian's private samurai, openly resisting the order, has rebelled, and he still doesn't do anything, kill his guards?" ”

The people of the Jinyi Guard Department listened to this unusually sudden order, and they were still in ignorance, although they pressed the embroidered spring knife with their hands, they did not pull it out, and stood in place with their faces looking at each other, and no one did anything.

Seeing this, Luo Yangxing said angrily: "What? Have you not heard my commandment, and will you resist it? ”

Only then did the brocade guards react, and suddenly pulled out the sabers at their waists, surrounding Wei Zhongxian's guards, and they were slashing and killing indiscriminately, and in the blink of an eye, they had chopped these people into pulp.

Ji Qingwen, who was hiding inside the house and peeking outside, saw this scene, and was so frightened that he was sweating and almost fainted - you know, these guards fought side by side with Ji Qingwen last night, and repelled the attacks of Xu Hongru and Zhou Xiuying of the White Lotus Sect, but in less than a few hours, these ten fresh lives turned into a pile of bloody dead flesh.

However, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Luo Yangxing, was not moved by this bloody scene at all, squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and said, "Xu Chunchao, how is it?" Do you want to die with it? Your great future, for the sake of a Wei Zhongxian, is it worth it? ”

Xu Chunchao hesitated for a while, but Wei Zhongxian got up and said, "Okay, good monkey cub, he is ruthless, better than the miscellaneous family." Okay, you don't have to embarrass Xu Chunchao, the miscellaneous family will go back to Beijing with you. But there are still some things in the miscellaneous house, you can ask the miscellaneous family to go back and clean up, right? ”

Luo Yangxing's eyes rolled and said, "Okay, you go and clean up, let's go." ”

So Wei Zhongxian stood up from his seat tremblingly, and there were no more servants and guards by his side, and he turned around and walked into the house alone, leaving only a lonely, lonely and old back.

Ji Qingwen bowed down and hid in the house, and when he saw Wei Zhongxian go back to the house, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, sat on the ground paralyzed, tried to suppress his voice, and said to Li Yan: "Brother Li, it seems that Wei Zhongxian's return to Beijing this time is already in a catastrophe, right?" ”

Li Yan couldn't help but wave his sleeves, wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead in the cold winter, and said, "It should be like this." Unexpectedly, this small post station in Fucheng County has become the core of the power struggle in the imperial court, and we broke in unknowingly, and we were able to get out of it safely, which can be said to be a blessing in misfortune. ”

Ji Qingwen was about to answer, when he suddenly heard the voice of Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jinyiwei, from outside the window: "Why did Wei Zhongxian go in for so long and not come out?" Which of you will let me in and take a look? ”

Ji Qingwen was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly watched from the gap again, only to see that no one else had moved, but it was Xu Chunchao who immediately got up from the ground, walked into the door quickly, and immediately retreated, shouting: "Wei ...... Wei Zhongxian, hanged himself! ”
