Sima Hong and Zhan Mubai's faces changed at the same time, the two looked at each other, Sima Hong said in a deep voice: "I am Sima Hong, the head of the Huashan faction, Mu Xia Shoufu Gao Yi, specially here to guard, Your Excellency said that you are the messenger of Jinyi Wei who came to deliver the decree, but what evidence do you have?" ”

Shen Lian reached into his arms, took out a gold medal, and threw it to Sima Hong from the air with the secret weapon technique of chasing the toad in eight steps, Sima Hong stretched out his hand to take it, and unloaded the force lightly, and a token was also grasped in his hand, only to see a big brocade engraved on the front, and Shen Lian's name and official position engraved on the back.

Sima Hong threw the gold medal back to Shen Lian, and said loudly: "Shen experience, I can believe that you are Jinyiwei, but you said that you are here to preach the holy decree, which I don't believe it a little bit, according to my ancestral system, the decree should be done by the father-in-law in the palace, and your Jinyi Guard's people are just guards, why did you come to pass the decree today?" ”

Shen Lian smiled slightly: "Sima Daxia, what you are talking about is the decree of the Beijing Division, my dynasty also has a harem that is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the internal servants are not allowed to go out of Beijing casually, and now Lord Xia has left the Beijing Division, so this will is naturally passed on by the people in the public gate, and now what the official is carrying is the emperor's holy decree, whether it is true or false, Xia Yan will know at a glance at that time." ”

Sima Hong knew that something was wrong, and pointed to the woods on the right: "Shen experience, it's not that we are deliberately embarrassed, but you see, before you came, there were thieves who attacked Lord Xia on this official road, and now our people have not completely repelled them, in this case, you have to announce the decree, is it too unsafe?" ”

Shen Lian glanced to the right and nodded: "It's indeed a fight, but the holy order that Shen received is to catch up with Xia Yan and immediately announce to him, the holy order is difficult to disobey." Even if the fight is just around the corner, Shen has to exercise his duties. As he spoke, his body soared into the sky, leaving the saddle like a big bird, and then landed steadily, with a clean and neat movement, very chic.

After Shen Lian landed, he shouted in a deep voice: "The brocade guard dragon group guards the phoenix dance, where is the heavenly wolf?" ”

A hoarse voice from a middle-aged man in his forties responded, "The wolf is here!" Immediately from the grove on the left, two figures were as fast as lightning. One white and one red, like sharp arrows off the string, rushed towards here at a speed, a distance of more than a mile, just in the blink of an eye. ran to it one after another, and this light skill is really shocking. Even Sima Hong's face changed slightly. Several masters behind him were even more disillusioned.

Sky Wolf has changed into a mask of a middle-aged man in his forties, and this time he has become a black-faced man, and Feng Wu has also changed into a middle-aged woman in her forties in the forest, with yellow skin, high cheekbones, and a mediocre appearance. The two ran to Shen Lian's side. He bowed to him: "Brocade Wei Feng Dance, Sky Wolf, I have seen an angel." ”

Shen Lian nodded: "I heard Commander Lu say that you will follow all the way." Secretly protecting, it seems that Commander-in-Chief Lu is really not wrong, before this official announcement, can you take a look at the waist cards of the two? ”

Sky Wolf smiled slightly, and said in his heart that this Shen Lian was really the same as before, he was careful on the outside and careful on the inside, he and Feng Wu took out their identity waist cards from their arms and handed them to Shen Lian, Shen Lian saw Feng Wu's waist card as the commander of the dragon group, and his face changed slightly: "You are the commander of the dragon group?" ”

Feng Wu smiled: "I just became one yesterday, and I will ask Shen to give me a lot of advice in the future." ”

Shen Lian looked Feng Wu up and down, as if he wanted to see through her true identity, and finally shook his head: "Commander-in-Chief Lu always has amazing moves, I can't guess, Feng Wu, Heavenly Wolf, now the envoy is going to start announcing the edict, you two must do a good job of guarding, if there is a sneak attack by thieves, kill them." ”

The Heavenly Wolf and Feng Wu bowed their hands in unison, standing on the left and right behind Shen Lian.

As soon as Sima Hong saw that the matter had come to this point, he knew that he could no longer be obstructed, sighed secretly, and said to the cart behind: "Elder Xia Ge, the envoy sent by the imperial court to announce the edict has arrived, please come out now to receive the order." ”

The curtain of the cart was opened, and an old man of medium stature, majestic appearance, and white hair walked out, his eyes were like eagle falcons, his face was full of wrinkles, his hair was neatly combed, his hair was neatly combed, his hair was neatly combed, and he was wearing a blue cloth with excellent materials, but he had the momentum of being an official for many years, and it could be vaguely seen from his eyebrows that he was a very handsome guy when he was young, and this person was the former cabinet chief assistant Xia Yan.

Xia Yan got out of the car, walked straight to the front, looked at Shen Lian in a red official robe, and seemed a little surprised: "Why are you?" ”

Shen Lian nodded: "Xia, Mr. Xia, we met again, I didn't expect it to be on this occasion." ”

Xia Yan sighed: "The world is impermanent, Shen Lian, how did you enter the Jinyi Guard now?" ”

Shen Lian said coldly: "Thanks to you, I dismissed the official and went home, Commander Lu gave me an errand in Jinyiwei, and the seven-grade experience can be regarded as the official reinstatement." ”

Xia Yan said: "Last time you were in Nanjing City, you were good, I also saw it, Shen Lian, you are both civil and military, you will serve the court well in the future, Jinyiwei is not a place where people like you should stay, change the environment as soon as possible." ”

Shen Lian laughed: "Mr. Xia, you are no longer the first assistant of the cabinet, why bother with this." ”

Xia Yan's face changed slightly: "Shen Lian, you are also from a Jinshi, don't you hear the truth that if you live in a temple, you are worried about the people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you are worried about the king?" Regardless of whether the old man is an official in the court or not, there is always nothing wrong with thinking about state affairs, you are now a dignified court official, a person in the public family, is this not as good as me as an old man? ”

Shen Lian put away his smile and saluted Xia Yan: "Be taught, Mr. Xia, I will remember what you said, but Commander Lu is kind to me, you were the official of the students back then, and the students have nowhere to go, if it weren't for Commander Lu, the students are still in their hometown now, so it is reasonable that I should not leave Jinyiwei in the short term." What's more, there are many options to serve the imperial court, and in the current eventful season, as a Jinyi guard, you may be able to do more. ”

Xia Yan shook his head: "Shen Lian, when the old man dismissed your official, he was protecting you, don't be mistaken, when you were the county commander, you offended the prefect Zhao Wenhua appointed by Yan Song, this person secretly passed the imperial history to collect evidence of your crimes, your family has always befriended people in the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible to get rid of the charge of befriending bandits in this regard, only temporarily dismissing your official and letting you enter the Jinyi Guard is the only way to protect you, has Lu Bing never told you about this matter?" ”

Shen Lian's face changed: "Is this serious? ”

Xia Yan said: "Shen Lian, you should know that the old man never speaks, Lu Bing once promised the old man that he would let you leave Jinyiwei after three years and be transferred to the county order or the state magistrate, the old man asked him about this before the dismissal, but he repeatedly shirked it, Shen Lian, it seems that Commander Lu also appreciates you, and hopes that you will stay in Jinyiwei." ”

Shen Lian was silent for a while, and sighed: "Thank you Mr. Xia for telling me, the old relationship will be recounted another day, and now this official has a holy order, and Xia Yan, please accept the order." ”

Xia Yan straightened his clothes, lifted his placket, pushed the gold mountain and poured the jade pillar, and knelt on the ground, Sima Hong, Zhan Mubai and others also knelt down reluctantly.

Shen Lian took off the yellow silk cloth scroll on his back, took out the holy decree inside, and said loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said, the former cabinet chief assistant, university scholar Xia Yan, who received the emperor's favor, did not think of serving the country, formed a party for personal gain, and immediately ordered him to return to Beijing, handed over to the division for trial, and when the holy decree arrives, he will set off immediately." Chin!"

Xia Yan kowtowed three respectfully: "Thank you, Lord Longen, long live, long live, long live." He stood up, stepped forward to take the holy decree, looked at it carefully, his expression was still calm and calm, he had seen too much of the ups and downs of this kind of officialdom, and he had experienced a lot, he had also been dismissed from office before, imprisoned, and later recovered, so now in his consciousness, this time will not be much different from before.

Xia Yan asked casually: "Shen Experience, do you know what the charge the emperor gave me this time?" What should I ask when I am interrogated? ”

Shen Lian's eyebrows moved slightly: "Mr. Xia, this time the emperor recovered you halfway because in the investigation of Zeng Miao's case, there are some things that are inseparable from you, and the crime of arresting you this time is Zeng Miao's close attendant, and you need to be investigated together as a witness in the same case." ”

Xia Yan's eyes suddenly darkened, a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and the person fainted suddenly, Sima Hong and Zhan Mubai hurriedly stepped forward and supported Xia Yan, only to hear Xia Yan shout: "Wow!" I'm dead!" (To be continued......)
