Chapter 280: The Edict
Wei Qiao slept again, and this sleep lasted two days before waking up.
It was also at this time that Li Xiluan told him that Xu Mao was fine, although the three knives were extremely ruthless, but fortunately, they did not hurt the vital point, Xu Mao was now tied up as a zongzi and lay on the bed to recuperate.
Wei Qiao whispered when he heard the news, he remembered this incident in his dream before, and he fell asleep again before he could say it.
Wei Qiao lay on the bed and looked at Wu Qingning who was sitting quietly on the edge of his bed.
Wu Qingning also looked at him quietly, and his pretty face, which had always been cold and calm, actually showed a twisted look.
Wei Qiao looked at Wu Qingning's somewhat evasive eyes, gently pulled her hand warmly in his heart, and said with a smile, "If you don't leave, you won't leave, I'll tell the emperor in a few days." ”
When Wu Qingning heard this, he seemed to be giving a sigh of relief, and his pretty face also showed a faint smile.
Wei Qiao looked at the beautiful smile on Wu Qingning's pretty face, and couldn't help but say, "But father-in-law......"
The martial apprentice has always been in poor health, and he is also getting older, so I am afraid that he will never be able to come back when he walks out of Jinling this time...... The corners of Wu Qingning's mouth trembled slightly, and his eyes rarely showed a little light.
Wei Qiao reached out and clasped her cold jade hand tightly, and said softly, "Father-in-law has actually planned it a long time ago. ”
How could Wu Qingning not know that his already cold hands were getting colder and colder.
Wei Qiao's heart softened, and he couldn't help but gently hug Wu Qingning into his arms, and said softly: "It's okay, my father-in-law is a generation of military gods, and he will definitely come back alive." ”
Wu Qingning leaned into his arms, closed his eyes, and didn't say a word.
Wei Qiao didn't know how to comfort her, just hugged her tightly and didn't make her feel lonely.
After another three days of peace, Jinling City was like soup and a piece of erosion, and strange things happened every day.
Wu Qingning's forbidden army has also withdrawn from Jinling, but the Yulin army has been taken over by the imperial forest army, and martial law has imposed martial law on the whole city.
The palace was surrounded like an iron pass, and the arrest of the King of Jin and his remnants took place every moment, and people related to the King of Jin were killed every day.
The recent Jinling faintly reminded some old people of the shocking change 20 years ago, which is extremely similar.
But the Horse Mansion is an exception, there is the Yulin Army outside, there is the Forbidden Army inside, and there are some warriors' generals, perhaps except for the Imperial Palace, only the Horse Mansion is safe in the entire Jinling at present.
In the past few years, Fu Mingzheng has been here, King Zheng has been here, Chang Song has been here, Concubine Zhen has been here, and almost all the top figures in Daqi have come to visit Wei Qiao's injuries.
It took a hundred days to break his muscles and bones, but Wei Qiao didn't have the heart to wait, he sat on the rocking chair outside, eating the pears that Li Xiluan had peeled on the side, but he was thinking about the news brought by Chen Ting.
That's right, the one who hurried into Jinling to see Wei Qiao was Chen Ting, who had been driven out of Jinling by Wei Qiao.
Thinking of Chen Ting, Wei Qiao couldn't help but pick up the account book on the table. This was given to him by Chen Ting, and it was the approximate number of all kinds of money, food, and weapons transported by these people in the 'North'.
Seeing these figures, Wei Qiao's brows tightened, and his eyes were solemn.
According to the data given to him by Chen Ting, the money, grain, and iron tools transported to the north every year in the north are enough to arm 200,000 people today, and they are armed to the teeth!
'There has been a recent movement in the north, although I can't find it. ’
Thinking of Chen Ting's words, Wei Qiao's heart also became heavy. To the north of Jinling, passing through Qingjiabao to Saiwai Longyan Pass is a chaotic place, and the power of the court is extremely weak, which also forms the fact that many officials respect the court on the surface, but actually do heroic things.
The warriors have left Qingjiabao, and it is expected that they can arrive at Longyan Pass in ten days, if he is in the middle of the war with the Huns, and there are 200,000 troops behind him, or the 200,000 troops suddenly go south to Jinling, it will be an unpredictable disaster!
Li Xiluan saw Wei Qiao frowning and didn't speak for a long time, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Do you want to discuss it with the fourth uncle?" ”
Li Xiluan has always been by Wei Qiao's side, and naturally she also heard his conversation with Chen Ting, and she was actually worried about the martial artist in her heart.
Wei Qiao was stunned, then shook his head, and said, "It's not necessarily that they don't know, the key now is how to defend." ”
Li Xiluan frowned slightly, nodded slightly, handed the pear in his hand to Wei Qiao, and said softly: "Talk to Qingning more." ”
Wei Qiao took the pear, glanced at her, and nodded silently.
And at this time, Wu Qingning quietly walked in.
When Li Xiluan saw it, he hurriedly stood up and said to Wei Qiao: "I'll go boil the medicine." After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Wei Qiao nodded and looked up at Wu Qingning, who walked in quietly.
Wu Qingning walked in front of Wei Qiao, looked at Li Xiluan, who was about to disappear after turning the corner, and looked down at Wei Qiao on the rocking chair, blinked prettyly, and then handed Wei Qiao a roll of yellow brocade silk from behind.
Wei Qiao was stunned, and he saw half of the word 'saint' at a glance.
Wei Qiao took it and opened it gently, and couldn't help frowning.
There was nothing special about this holy decree, it was just that he was allowed to enter the palace five days later.
Wei Qiao put down the holy decree, looked at Wu Qingning and said, "It seems that the emperor really cares about me, and even I know that I can go to the ground in five days." ”
Wu Qingning looked at Wei Qiao, and said with two simple words: "There is fraud." ”
Wei Qiao was stunned for a moment, looked at her with a strange expression, and said, "Why do you say that?" ”
Wu Qingning still gave two words, "Feeling." ”
Wei Qiao's eyes were thoughtful, and then he couldn't help frowning, the cunning rabbit died and the lackey cooked, although he was not a person, but if the emperor really did something to him, he could only sit back and wait to be killed.
Wei Qiao thought in his heart, and suddenly looked up at Wu Qingning and said, "Qingning, push me to the Cloud Buddha Temple at night." ”
Wu Qingning looked at Wei Qiao with a pretty look and said simply, "Okay." ”
At night, the house is quiet.
Wu Qingning was dressed in black, Wei Qiao was in a wheelchair with a thick blanket on it, and the two quietly walked out of a breach unknown to outsiders.
Then, the two got into the carriage again and walked towards the western suburbs almost silently.
The night was as cold as water, and the carriage was quiet, Wu Qingning sat on the edge of Wei Qiao, pulling a blanket for Wei Qiao.
Wei Qiao's eyes were furrowed, and his eyes kept thinking.
What kind of means did the first emperor leave behind to shock the martial disciples, Fu Li, the emperor, and the king of Jin for twenty years?
If it is really an edict of the abolished emperor, it is not terrible at all, an edict of the first emperor, for the emperor who has already sat on the throne, although there is some trouble, but it will not really take it to heart.
As for the martial apprentice Fu Li, I'm afraid he is also jealous, so he will be held by the first emperor, right?
Wei Qiao kept thinking in his heart, the closer he got closer, the more uneasy he was in his heart. Although this former emperor has been dead for many years, he still makes the current emperor so jealous, and he must have left an extremely terrible backhand to elbow him, which made him endure for twenty years, and only now did he start to launch.
Wu Qingning also felt Wei Qiao's nervousness, and gently pressed the blanket.
Wei Qiao's lips moved, and he wanted to ask Wu Qingning a question, but then he swallowed it back, he was worried that he would not be able to control himself as soon as he opened his mouth.
The carriage kept moving forward, and Wu Qing sat quietly, turning his head to look at the back of the car from time to time.
The air at night was extremely cold, and Wei Qiao shivered even when he was covered with a blanket.
"Miss, Auntie, it's here." Xiu'er outside said in a low voice.
Wei Qiao's heart pounded, and he turned his head and nodded at Wu Qingning.
Wu Qingning helped Wei Qiao and slowly walked out of the carriage.
When the two got out of the car, Wu Qingning nodded to Xiu'er, Xiu'er immediately nodded firmly, and the black shadow flashed, and disappeared in place, and disappeared from Wei Qiao's sight in a blink of an eye.
Wei Qiao was stunned, then turned his head to look at Wu Qingning, signaling that he could go.
Wu Qingning supported Wei Qiao and walked slowly up the stairs. It wasn't until this moment that Wei Qiao knew that his injuries were not as good as he expected.
However, Wei Qiao still gritted his teeth and insisted, and after half an hour, in Wei Qiao's sweat, the two of them still walked in front of the gate of Yunfo Temple.
Looking at the closed gate of the Cloud Buddha Temple, Wu Qingning turned his head to look at Wei Qiao, and suddenly grabbed Wei Qiao with one hand and rushed towards the wall in stride. At this time, Wei Qiao closed his eyes very unmanly.
When the cold wind whistled in his ears, and he no longer felt so cold and harsh, Wei Qiao opened his eyes, only to find that he was already inside the gate.
Wei Qiao exhaled lightly, looked at the black Dading not far away, turned his head and nodded at Wu Qingning, and the two bypassed the Dading and walked inside.
This big Buddha has maintained this posture and smiled unchanged for a hundred years, looking down at the two people who came in.
Wei Qiao looked at the big Buddha in front of him, his eyes were complicated, and then he exhaled deeply and nodded at Wu Qingning.
Before coming, he had already told Wu Qingning about this, and Wu Qingning immediately understood, and his figure jumped up quickly and went straight to the top of the Buddha's head.
Wu Qingning stood on the shoulder of the Big Buddha, looking at the golden eyes that were close at hand, and the dagger she took out from her waist and gently tapped the eye frame.
Wei Qiao watched below, and his heart trembled.
Wu Qingning tapped slowly, and then gently pried it up, and the bulging eyes kept moving out.
It was getting longer and longer, and Wei Qiao felt like his throat was stuck in something, and it was a little difficult to breathe.
And Wu Qingning was still quietly prying with a dagger, without the slightest fluctuation on his face.
Suddenly, the huge golden eyes fell from the Buddha's head, and the sound of 'dang' was extremely dull.
Wei Qiao's heart tightened, and he hurriedly walked over and picked it up. Wei Qiao touched it with his hand, and found that it looked like a roll of brocade silk, and then saw that it was yellow, and there were two words faintly outside.
Wei Qiao couldn't help but jump in his heart, could it be that he could only abolish the emperor's edict?
Wei Qiao put the brocade silk forward, and looked at it through the faint moonlight, and sure enough, it was the word 'holy decree'!
Wu Qingning had already fallen down and quietly walked to Wei Qiao's side.
Wei Qiao swallowed his saliva with difficulty, glanced at Wu Qingning, and the two of them faced the moonlight and slowly opened the brocade silk.
