Imperial Doctor Pei Yun?

Li Xuanba remembered that on the night of the Lantern Festival, there was indeed a person who often talked to Yang Guang, and Yang Guang called him Pei Qing. Yu Wenshu also said that there are traitorous ministers in the court, although they did not name them, they must be talking about Pei Yun.

Li Xuanba didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the court, but the person in front of him was Wei Zheng, Li Xuanba didn't want to offend from the bottom of his heart, so he could only say perfunctorily: "Sir, please rest assured, when the time comes, Xuanba will definitely lead Mr. to face the saint." ”

Wei Zheng had heard this kind of thing many times, smiled sneeringly, and said, "In this way, the lower official will leave." As soon as he finished speaking, the man stood up.

"Where is the gentleman going back?" Li Xuanba asked with some concern.

"Since the adults are unwilling to help, the lower officials can only try their luck elsewhere." Wei Zheng's tone was flat, and he couldn't hear the slightest annoyance, and he must have been very disappointed in the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs.

"Sir, who is so swaggering, aren't you afraid that Master Pei will find out?" Li Xuanba stood up and stopped Wei Zheng, obviously believing what Wei Zheng said.

"How could Master Pei put Xia Guan in his eyes?" Wei Zheng said self-deprecatingly: "In the eyes of Master Pei, Xia Guan is only afraid of being like an ant. ”

"If ants are annoying, they can easily be trampled to death." Li Xuanba said: "Sir, why don't you stay in the dark and wait a little longer?" ”

"The kindness of the adults, the lower officials have understood it." Although Wei Zheng was a little disappointed in Li Xuanba, Wei Zheng was still a little grateful for Li Xuanba's concern. He shook his head at Li Xuanba and continued: "The lower officials can wait, but how can the people of the world wait? ”

Li Xuanba couldn't refute, so he could only return the salute and let Wei Zheng leave.

Before Wei Zheng left, he left a sentence: "My lord, are you worthy of Your Majesty like this?" ”

Yang Guang is very good to Li Xuanba, even if he loses his force at this time, he is still willing to marry the princess to him.

Hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Xuanba fell into deep thought.

After Wei Zheng left the Tang State Mansion, he looked at the long streets, but he didn't know where to go. Although he told Li Xuanba that he would try his luck elsewhere, in fact, he knew very well in his heart that in this Luoyang City, it was impossible for him to find someone who was willing to introduce him.

Since there is nowhere to go, it doesn't matter where you go.

Wei Zheng walked along the street towards the palace with a feeling of loss: perhaps he could only wait for the early dynasty and take a risk.

Ever since Wei Zheng came out of the Tang State Mansion, someone has been secretly following him.

Although it was late, there were still pedestrians on the streets, and the people who followed Wei Zheng were very good at concealment, but Wei Zheng was so depressed that he didn't notice that anyone was behind him all the time.

As the night wore on, the pedestrians dispersed, and the streets became deserted, with occasional gusts of cold wind that mocked Wei Zheng's foolishness and uprightness.

The person behind Wei Zheng gradually quickened his pace, and under the moonlight, his cuffs shone with a cold light. The man's pace became faster and faster, like a passerby rushing home, and when he approached Wei Zheng, his arm began to rise.

Then, the whole arm was broken, and with a scream, it fell to the ground.

Li Gou didn't know when he appeared beside Wei Zheng, but he still didn't have time to stop the killer from biting the poison between his teeth.

Wei Zheng was startled by the screams, ran a few steps forward, and when he turned around, he only saw a corpse lying on the ground, his arm not far from his body, and the broken arm was still bleeding.

"Mr. Wei, Gongzi, please go back to the Tang State Mansion." Li Gou didn't look at the corpse, saluted Wei Zheng, and said.

Wei Zheng looked at the corpse in a daze, nodded, and followed Li Gou back to the Tang State Mansion.

"Thank you for your help." Still in that room, Wei Zheng bowed and said sincerely.

"Huh?" Li Xuanba was stunned for a moment and said, "Someone wants to kill you?" ”

"Don't you know?" Wei Zheng was puzzled: "Then why did the lord send people from the palace to protect the lower officials?" ”

Li Xuanba didn't answer Wei Zheng's question, but turned his gaze to Li Gou and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Childe, you asked the villain to invite Mr. Wei back, and when the villain saw Mr. Wei, he found that someone was sneakily following him, so he didn't show up." Li Gou replied: "Later, when Mr. Wei was the only one left on the street, that person approached Mr. Wei and prepared to kill him. The villain saw that the situation was wrong, so he injured the man, but the killer also hid the poison in advance, and the villain didn't have time to catch him alive. ”

After Li Gou explained, Li Xuanba and Wei Zheng both understood.

"In any case, the lower officials still have to thank the adults for saving their lives." Wei Zheng bowed and bowed, and Li Xuanba hurriedly helped him up.

After letting Li Gou step back, Li Xuanba invited Wei Zheng to a seat, poured tea for him personally, and then sat down himself, and said, "Sir, have you never entered someone else's house before?" ”

Wei Zheng took a sip of tea to relieve the fright he had just received, then nodded and said, "It's true that no other adult wants to meet Xiaguan." ”

"In this way, Mr. is in danger, and it has something to do with my Tang State Mansion." Li Xuanba said with a hint of apology: "Fortunately, Mr. is fine, otherwise Xuanba is really uneasy in his heart." ”

"What does this have to do with adults?" Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "It's just that Xia Guan didn't expect that he had already been targeted by Master Pei. ”

"Why are you so sure it's Master Pei?" Li Xuanba was puzzled: "Could it be that he, a second-grade master, has such power?" ”

Wei Zheng glanced at Li Xuanba and said with a wry smile: "My lord doesn't know, Lord Pei's power has long been all over the county. I don't know how many officials, because they tried to enter the capital and face the saint, died on the way, if the official position is not too low, I am afraid that he will not be able to enter this Luoyang City. The first time Xia Guan came to Luoyang, he had no grievances with others, if it wasn't for Master Pei, who would want Xia Guan's life? ”

"The official was killed on the way to Beijing, won't Your Majesty investigate it?" When Li Xuanba heard Wei Zheng's words, he was a little frightened and asked casually.

"There are so many rebels, thieves are like a forest, as long as Master Pei says that it was a traitor, His Majesty will naturally not suspect it." After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he took another sip of tea, and then asked, "My lord asked the lower official to come back, I don't know what to order?" There was a hint of hope in his eyes.

"Xuanba wants to ask a question, what did you think of when Mr. was attacked?" Li Xuanba did not answer Wei Zheng's question, but instead asked an irrelevant question.

Wei Zheng lowered his head, thought for a while, and said, "Don't hide it from your lord, Xia Guan thought of Humble Jing." ”

When it comes to life and death, it's not a shame to think of the people closest to you.

Li Xuanba smiled and said, "This is a common situation, and Mr. doesn't have to mind." ”

The two chatted a few more words, and Wei Zheng saw that Li Xuanba didn't mention the introduction, but for some reason, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Subsequently, Li Xuanba left Wei Zheng in the mansion on the grounds that he was worried about Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng had nowhere to go, so he thanked him and did not refuse. Li Xuanba called Li Xing in and asked him to settle Wei Zheng.

After Wei Zheng left, Li Xuanba called Li Gou into the room again, and asked calmly: "Do you think that the people who want to kill Mr. Wei today and those who want to kill me will be ordered by the same person?" ”

Li Gou also thought about this problem, so he waited outside the door, and when he saw Li Xuanba mention it, he replied without thinking: "It should be all dead soldiers raised by Master Pei." ”
