"Dead?" Xizong slapped the table and stood up, walked quickly to Duan Zhiwen's side and looked down, only to see that Duan Zhiwen had a small spike between his neck, which ran through his neck from front to back, and Duan Zhiwen had already returned to the west.

Zhao Tianci also glanced down, and when he looked up, he met Xizong's eyes, and they both saw something different from the other party's eyes.

"Pull it out and chop it up and feed it to the dogs!" Xizong waved his hand angrily and commanded.

The guards helped Yan Qing out, and Duan Zhiwen was also dragged out. Zong Wang hurriedly knelt down in the tunnel, "Your Majesty, the minister was negligent for a while, and almost caused a tragedy, please ask the emperor to condemn him!" ”

"Master please, this matter has nothing to do with you!" Xizong waved his hand and said, "Master Wan, you rescued the driver in front of the palace and made miraculous achievements, and I want to reward you." ”

Zhao Tianci hurriedly bowed down and said, "Protecting the monarch is the duty of a courtier!" ”

Xizong's face was still full of anger, "Duan Zhiwen's son actually brought a murder weapon to the palace to face the king, and I will investigate this matter thoroughly." Wan Gongzi, I intend to let you serve as a guard with a sword in front of the palace, lead a hundred husbands, and eat thousands of households, what do you think? ”

"This ......?" Zhao Tianci was stunned, and even Zong Wang was surprised.

Xizong said, "If it weren't for the fact that you just came to the rescue, I have been killed, and the small gift is not enough to worry about, so Wan Gongzi would not have shirked." ”

Zhao Tianci thought for a long time, and knelt on the ground, "I am willing to serve my emperor!" ”

Xi Zong said happily, "Great! I will give you a gold medal, and immediately take your people to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the palace guards, and ......" He got up and came to Zhao Tianci's side and whispered, "The people you sent should stay with me!" ”

Zhao Tianci was stunned, "Your Majesty ......"

Xizong patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, just leave your sister behind, I'll give her a name, you are still husband and wife, so it's easy to talk." ”

Zhao Tianci understood what he meant, bowed down and said, "Thank the emperor for his success!" ”

Xizong turned to Zong Wang and said, "Taishi, this matter will be handled by you, and I will say a few words to Wan Gongzi alone." ”

Zong Wang bowed and said, "Yes! Minister, let's do it! ”

After Zong Wang withdrew, Xizong's face immediately sank, "Master Wan, who did it?" ”

Zhao Tianci shook his head, "It happened suddenly, and I didn't see clearly who did it, so it was possible for both of them." ”

Xizong frowned and said, "Yan Qing and Taishi? How is this possible? Yan Qing is the head of the guard of the county king's mansion, and I have always had a deep relationship with the county king, so he has no reason to harm me? It's even more impossible for the Taishi, I can get on the throne, and the two brothers have contributed the most! ”

Zhao Tianci said, "Your Majesty, you have a deep personal relationship with the king of the county, do you have a personal relationship with Yan Qing?" ”

Xizong was stunned for a moment, shook his head thoughtfully, and Zhao Tianci said again, "I don't know how the Taishi is a person, and I don't dare to say anything, but for the sake of the emperor's safety, the emperor's guards must be replaced." ”

Xizong pursed his lips as if hesitating, and after a long while, he resolutely said, "Can I trust you?" ”

Zhao Tianci smiled, "Is there anyone else around the emperor who can be trusted?" ”

Xizong was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, "It's really not much." I want to think that cousin of yours as a godsister, you can not live in the palace, there is a warm incense pavilion on the west side of the palace, so I will give it to you. ”

Zhao Tianci hurriedly leaned over to thank him.

"Godsister?" Liuli was stunned, and then muttered, "Actually, he really should have called me sister." ”

Zhao Tianci comforted her with kind words, "The emperor's move is not only to repay me for saving his life, but also to give me the feeling that he has not completely given up his suspicion of us until now." ”

Jade Ban hurriedly said, "What should I do then?" Aren't you dangerous by his side? ”

Zhao Tianci smiled, "That's not going to happen." Although this little emperor is older than me, the city is too shallow, and there is no one around him to listen to, if Zong Bi does not die, the two of them may have something to say. ”

Liuli looked at him with a smile and asked, "You don't really want to be a royal guard for him, do you?" ”

Zhao Tianci said, "Then why not? ”

Nuan Xiang Pavilion is not only a spacious place, but also a very good environment, because it is close to the palace, so there are no miscellaneous people near the left, very quiet.

Not long after Zhao Tianci and the others lived, Xizong sent him more than 20 servants and maids, all of whom were golden.

The people of the four major tribes received a notice from the imperial court ten days later, and of course they would not rest on their laurels, and soon sent a group of people to Shangjing to gather.

Xizong didn't want to see them, but Zong Wang passed the word again that he was sick and couldn't see guests, which made Xizong's doubts even heavier, so he asked Zhao Tianci to go to his mansion to see if he was really sick or pretending to be sick.

Zhao Tianci only took two people and went to Zongwang Mansion under the leadership of the little eunuch.

As the Taishi of the Dajin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongwang is extremely low-key, and his Taishi's Mansion is mixed in the dwellings, if you don't look carefully, you really can't tell the difference between it and ordinary dwellings.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't feel the slightest surprise at Zhao Tianci's arrival, he personally greeted him out, took his arm and said with a smile, "Little Brother Wan, you are finally here, I have been waiting for you for several days." ”

Zhao Tianci also smiled, "Master, you should lie on the bed and wait for me to see you." ”

Zong Wang laughed, "The person sent by the emperor is you, so you don't have to act like that." Come in with me, for there is a distinguished guest in my house, so come and see him. As he spoke, he affectionately pulled him into the main hall.

As soon as Zhao Tianci stepped into the door of the mansion with his front foot, a gentle voice came out from inside, "Is there a distinguished guest from Taishi?" This king should avoid it. ”

Zong Wang laughed and said, "The prince is sitting in peace, this little brother is a new friend I just met, and I just introduced it to you." ”

Zhao Tianci came into the mansion, only to see an old man about fifty years old sitting there drinking tea, his face was thin, his hair was gray, but his complexion was very good, seeing Zong Wang bring people in, he smiled and got up and said, "Which distinguished guest is it......" He raised his head, and Zhao Tianci looked at each other, and the two of them froze at the same time.

This person has a vague face, isn't it Huizong Zhao Ji? When Zhao Tianci was still Wan Linggen, he had seen him with his own eyes, and he also received his golden book and iron coupons.

Zong Wang was also stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, "Huh? Lord, have you met? ”

Zhao Ji rubbed his eyes and said with a smile, "This little brother is very similar to one of my old friends, but the age is wrong, hehe...... It's my old eyes that are dizzy. ”

Zhao Tianci said, "This is a noble man of the Southern Dynasty, I have seen it with my own eyes when I returned to the north, and Wan Linggen, the young patriarch of the White Tatar Tribe, is polite!" As he spoke, he bowed to the ground, looking extremely reverent.

Zhao Ji stepped forward and pulled him up and said with a smile, "The name of the Han family? Sure enough, it's a hero out of a teenager, good! All right! ”

Zong Wang laughed and said, "Come on, come on, I've prepared the wine and food, how about we have two drinks together?" ”

Zhao Tianci hurriedly said, "Master, I can't drink enough!" ”

Zong Wang smiled, "Don't worry, I won't fight you to drink." ”

The three of them went to the back wing room under the leadership of Zong Wang, and sure enough, a table of sumptuous wine and food, three chairs, and three pairs of dishes and chopsticks had already been prepared there, and Zhao Tianci said strangely, "Taishi, you have eyes and ears by the emperor's side!" ”

Zong Wang didn't hide it, and said with a smile, "In order to let yourself live longer, how can there be no obedient people around the emperor?" ”

Zhao Tianci suddenly felt that this Jin Guo Taishi was quite "cute".

When he came to the table, Zong Wang let Zhao Ji sit down at the top, and he and Zhao Tianci accompanied him on the left and right. Zhao Ji took a sip of the wine glass and shook his head, "It's still too strong!" ”

Zong Wang said, "Lord Wang, our craftsmen do have limited skills, and they can't make authentic southern rice wine. ”

Zhao Ji said, "Taishi, although rice wine is not as strong as soju, it is soft and long, which can drive away the cold in the body and benefit the body!" Taishi has been fighting for many years, eroded by the cold, and his muscles and bones are tired, so he must pay more attention. ”

Zong Wang got up and said respectfully, "Thank you for the teachings of the prince, Zong Wang can save it." ”

Zhao Tianci's gaze turned around the two of them, where is this master and prisoner, it is clearly the master and the servant, and it is the master and servant who have been reversed.

Zhao Ji picked up the cup and said, "I have tasted all the good wine of the Taishi family, and now I really want to drink the rice wine in the south again, but I feel tasteless." Come, little brother Wan, let's thank Master Taishi for his hospitality. ”

Zhao Tianci also took a sip of the wine glass, the spicy feeling in his throat made him stick out his tongue, Zong Wang and Zhao Ji couldn't help laughing when they saw him looking funny.

Zhao Ji said, "It seems that the little brother Wan is not used to the northern spirits, there are more than a dozen jars of rice wine hidden in my house, when it is free, how about the little brother come to my house to taste it?" ”

Zhao Tianci hurriedly said, "Thank you, Lord Wang!" The kid should visit! ”

Zong Wang said, "Come on, eat vegetables!" As he spoke, he sandwiched a few small pieces of meat and put them in Zhao Ji's bowl, "Lord Wang, this is my venison from the north, and it is extremely effective in nourishing the cold." Then he sandwiched a large piece of meat and put it in Zhao Tianci's bowl, "Little Brother Wan, this is rabbit meat from the north, how about you taste it?" ”

Zhao Tianci hurriedly thanked him, picked it up and put it in his mouth and tasted it, there was no other taste except salty, and shook his head with a smile, "Except for salty, it doesn't taste like meat!" ”

Zong Wang laughed and said, "Hahaha, little brother Wan is really a straightforward person, my house treats guests with rabbit meat, and only two people dare to say that this meat is tasteless, and that is the two of you." ”

Zhao Tianci glanced at Zhao Ji, and saw that he was obsessed with tasting venison, and didn't care what Zong Wang said, nodded and said with a smile, "When I came, my father repeatedly told me not to offend the nobles, but my temper is like this, I can't change it, so I can only talk less." ”

Zong Wang sighed and said, "There are only three of us here, and I'm not afraid to say something that shouldn't be said." Even if you are in the ninth five, what can you do, you still have to be cautious and live a very tiring life! As he spoke, he drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and poured it to himself.
