In the night, the lights in the imperial palace were brilliant, and there were bursts of mourning, and a grand funeral was being held for Shao Wuqing. The Son of Heaven died, the heavens and the earth collapsed, the sun and the moon mourned, and the palace was also a gloomy fog.

The palace attendants didn't know that the dead were fake, and they were all secretly hurting themselves. As soon as he thought of the sinister and vicious Nie who would cover the sky with one hand after Shao Wuqing's death, he couldn't help but miss the days when Shao Wuqing was alive, and tears were pouring down!

In a corner of the palace, in a side room, the door was closed, and Xi, who was dressed in a filial robe, faced the spiritual position of Shao Wuqing in front of him, crying silently. "Your Majesty, it's the fault of the slave! The slave didn't expect that Nie, a thief, would dare to kill the monarch and plot rebellion, but she hated that she couldn't persuade His Majesty as soon as possible, so that the national government finally fell into the hands of thieves. Now that the general trend is gone, the slave and maid are lonely, not only can they not make this great revenge for His Majesty, but they also don't know where they will be buried! Your Majesty, I'm sorry for you! ”

Tears flowed down his face and he choked up! Although both Nie and the imperial physician claimed that "Shao Wuqing" died of natural causes, Xi did not believe it in any way. Even if Shao Wuqing's body is indeed getting worse day by day in the recent stage, it is unreasonable to die so quickly.

It is okay for Nie and the others to hide their nonsense from the ministers outside the palace who don't know the depths, but it is absolutely impossible to hide it from him, who accompanies Shao Wuqing!

It's just that although Xi understands it in his heart, he doesn't dare to reveal the word 'no', otherwise in the current sinister situation of covering the sky with Nie's hand, I'm afraid that Xi will immediately disappear from the world if he shows a little sign of opposition.

Therefore, Xi was helpless, only patience, and even worshipping Shao Wuqing had to be carried out secretly in his own house! Just when Xi was full of sadness, suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door: "Is Xi Daren here?" Please open the door! ”

This voice almost scared Xi to death, and Xi hurriedly responded: "Who?" While hurriedly hiding the Shaowu Qingling spirit card and incense candles.

He replied outside the door: "Hello adults, open the door quickly, I have urgent secret matters to discuss with adults!" ”

Xi hesitated for a moment, then wiped away the tears on his face, coughed lightly, and stepped forward to open the door.

Anyway, it's out now, who's afraid of whom! The door opened, and a young man flashed in. As soon as this man entered the room. Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand and closed the door tightly, and said in a low voice: "Hi lord, please come into the back room and talk!" ”

Xi was inexplicably dragged into the back room by Lang Zhong, and jumped to his feet in a hurry and said, "You, who are you!" Let go, you let go for me! Otherwise, I'll call someone! ”

Lang Zhong hurriedly said: "Don't shout, Lord Xi, I came to see you by His Majesty's last order!" ”

Xi was taken aback: "What, Your Majesty's last order, what's going on?" ”

Lang Zhong said with some sorrow: "The young general is Shao Wuyu." He is a member of the royal family, and is now a second lieutenant in Langzhong, and he is on an errand in front of His Majesty. A few days ago, when His Majesty was relaxing in the garden, he suddenly said that he wanted to be quiet, so he sent everyone away, leaving me alone to accompany him. When no one was around, His Majesty suddenly said: "Shaowuyu, are you a loyal minister, are you loyal to me?" ”

I hurriedly replied, "Your Majesty." The minister is the retainer of the Shaowu family, and his ancestors have fought bloodily for the Shaowu family. My father died in the Battle of Wolf Mountain, and my uncle also died in the Battle of Wolf Mountain. ”

His Majesty was very happy at that time and said: "Yes, you have been in the palace for several years. On an errand in front of the joint body, I also see your every move, and you are indeed worthy of being a member of my young martial arts family, good, hahaha, good! I have an important matter to entrust to me now, in case something happens to the DPRK in the near future. The world is uneasy, so I will secretly hand over this thing to Lord Xi! You can do it! ”

The young general hurriedly replied at that time: "The minister is willing to go to the soup for His Majesty, and I will not hesitate!" ”

So, His Majesty gave me a bamboo tube. Order me to keep it secret, don't be careless! At that time, I was very excited, and what an honor it was to be entrusted by His Majesty. It's just that within a few days, His Majesty died suddenly, and Yu Meng, who was full of grief, remembered His Majesty's entrustment in front of him, so he sneaked in secretly and handed over this thing to the adult! ”

Xi was taken aback, hurriedly took the bamboo tube, unscrewed the bamboo stopper, and inside was a roll of yellow silk holy decree!

Xi opened the holy decree with some trembling and read it tremblingly: "I feel that the political situation in the DPRK and China has been strange recently, and I am afraid that there will be traitors in charge and will bring disaster to the world." In order to secure the world, a secret edict is specially issued to you, and those who dare to rebel and cause trouble in the world should order the military department to be fair...... Hold this edict to correct the world! "The edict is not finished, and it is a big jade seal!

Seeing this, Xihe Shaowuyu was very sad, and said with joy: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, pity your generation of Holy Lord, but you died in humiliation at the hands of villains, sad, sad!" ”

Shao Wuyu also suddenly realized, and said with grief and indignation: "Could it be that Your Majesty was victimized by this traitor Nie?" Oh my God, Nie, this thief dares to kill the king and plot rebellion, bastard, I will take his dog's head! ”

Saying that, Shaowu Yu's eyes were red, and he was about to pull out the long knife on his waist, Xi hurriedly grabbed Shao Wuyu's hand, and then said in a low voice: "Silence, silence!" A few days ago, Xi had risked his life to His Majesty to say that Nie and others were in turmoil, but unfortunately His Majesty seemed to believe it or not, and he was deeply sorry that suddenly came the news of His Majesty's violent death, who is this not the poisonous hand of Nie and others!? But now, Nie and the prince and others are covering the sky with one hand, and we are alone, and if we are not careful, it will affect the nine clans! ”

Shao Wuyu was stunned for a moment, and then he also understood that this was powerful, and he also said with great compassion when he heard the words: "Old Nie Gelding, I, Shao Wuyu, and you will not stand apart!" By the way, Lord Xi, since Your Majesty has always believed in Nie traitors, why did you suddenly secretly pay me this secret edict? ”

Xi Mian said respectfully: "This is the way of the emperor!" After Your Majesty was reminded by me the day before yesterday, although he still trusts Nie, he must have a trace of doubt in his heart! With His Majesty's cautious and perfect habits, when faced with unknown dangers, he will inevitably set up a secret hand in advance to prepare for any eventuality. It's a pity, I'm afraid Your Majesty himself couldn't have imagined that this secret edict would really come in handy! ”

Shao Wuyu also cried sadly: "Lord Xi, Your Majesty has entrusted me and the two of us so much, and the two of us should die in retribution." It's just that the youngsters are young and shallow, and they really don't know how to distinguish them! Please show me! ”

Xi hurriedly thought about it and said: "This secret edict is very important, it can be said that the society of the world is tied to this, as long as it is in the hands of Lord Deyan and Justice, the Great Chu World can repeat the Lang Lang Qiankun!" But now, we must protect this secret edict with death, wait for the right opportunity to sneak out of the imperial capital, and send the secret edict to Lord Yan! ”

Shao Wuyu nodded firmly and said: "Don't worry, no matter what kind of danger you face, you will definitely keep your mouth shut and never leak half a word!" ”

Xi nodded and said, "At present, we can't be too anxious about the matter of the secret edict. After all, now Zhao Gao and others control the palace very strictly, and they have to find another opportunity to send this safely to Wu Anjun! But there is one thing that cannot be delayed any longer! Ying Li hurriedly said: "Please Xi Daren command!" Xi hurriedly said: "Whether there is this secret edict or not, Nie and the prince and the others will want to get rid of the second prince and hurry up, and the family members of the prince who are now staying in Qingshifang are even more dangerous!" If what I expected is true, I am afraid that once His Majesty's corpse is buried, Nie will attack the prince and his family! So without further ado, you immediately take the opportunity of the shift change to sneak to the bluestone workshop and ask to see the prince. Tell the prince, without further ado, hurry up and escape from Qingshifang, but don't tell him the book of this secret edict for the time being, otherwise if he can't escape, this secret edict will fall into the hands of Nie and the prince and others! Can you do it? My identity is more obvious, and I only rely on you to deliver the news! ”

Shao Wuyu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lord Xi, leave this matter to me!" I'll be there right away! ”

"Be careful!"

Shao Wuyu nodded, came to the door, and peeked out through the false lattice. No abnormalities were found. He quietly opened the door, nodded to Xi, and disappeared into the night!

Xi watched Shaowu Yu go away, and felt a little inappropriate in his heart, this secret decree was quite strange, not to mention the second prince, just let Yan Gongdao go to Zhengtianwei, it really made him a little confused, but the seal on it was not fake, it was absolutely true, he couldn't guess it, at this time, Shao Wuqing was already coming to the Imperial Palace, but the speed was very slow, he needed to do, there were many more, this big drama has just begun!

"Where did Shaobing go?"

In the Yan Mansion, the lights were bright, and Yan Gongdao sat in the lobby, with a splitting headache, looking at the flickering candles in annoyance, and his heart became colder and colder.

A servant walked out, it was the housekeeper of the Yan Mansion, the housekeeper walked to Yan Gongdao's side, and immediately smiled and said, "Gongzi and Lord Liu have gone out and haven't come back yet!" ”

"Hmph, when is it, don't come back yet, go, you go to Qingshifang to get him back for me!"

When Yan Gongdao heard that Yan Shaobing was not in the mansion, he was still outside, and his heart was even more upset, he waved his hand, and hurriedly drove the housekeeper out, the housekeeper smiled bitterly, and then gave a deep salute, copied the lantern, and took a few servants out of the mansion, and ran straight towards Qingshifang.

The streets were cold, the wind and snow stopped, the weather became colder and colder, the emperor marched, the five armies changed their guards, and the imperial capital, which had not had a curfew for decades, ushered in the first curfew night in decades.

"What's the matter, seeing you like this?"

Seeing Yan Gongdao's wry smile, his wife also walked out of the room and poured him a cup of hot tea.

It's just that at this time, where does Yan Gongdao have a little thought, the emperor is leaving, if he says that he is leaving like this, he will definitely not believe it, he has lived for decades, he can also feel something, otherwise he would not have lived to the present and be in this position!
