After the Meng family master said this, he couldn't help but sigh again. Originally, he was planning to let his daughter return the holy decree of succession to the six princes on the day of his daughter's marriage with the sixth prince, and complete the Meng family's explanation to the deceased Emperor Shuwen. But now, I'm afraid I don't have that opportunity.

Since ancient times, the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Although the reason for the destruction of the Meng family today is clear in his heart, he also knows that as a subject of Linyue, he should follow the holy will. It's just that, as the head of the Meng family, the Meng family was destroyed in his hands, and he was really unwilling.

"Master Meng, I'm afraid my subordinates won't be able to agree to your request, but you can hand over the holy decree to your subordinates, and your subordinates will inevitably hand over the holy decree to the prince." The man looked at the head of the Meng family, and there seemed to be no fluctuation in his voice.

"Well, that's probably the only way to go!" When the head of the Meng family heard the guard's words, he could only shake his head helplessly, and his voice was full of helplessness. "The holy decree of succession is a matter of importance, and I hope that this master and Sui Meng will leave for a while, which can be regarded as giving my Meng family a chance to accept death, after all, our five great families have finally been in the Feng clan for so many years, and the credit and hard work are available, this request is not too much!"

The guard listened to the words of the Meng family master, and the whole person couldn't help but fall into deep thought. After a while, the guard looked at the Meng family who were surrounded in the main hall, then nodded and said, "Master Meng, my subordinates will do their best for the sake of the Meng family who have not been in the moon for many years, and let the Meng family die later." Now, there is Master Lao Meng with his subordinates to take the holy decree of my lord's succession. ”

"That's natural, please." The head of the Meng family looked at the guard, and there was a gentle and calm smile on the corner of his lips. He was wearing a stone blue river pattern Hangzhou silk robe, and his figure looked a little thin, but it was like an isolated peak, tall and unyielding. His face looked a little old, and there were a few deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, as if they were all traces of the passage of time. However, his eyes were extremely bright, like a mirror reflecting the light, and they were extremely transparent.

Walking to his room with the guard, the head of the Meng family looked at the guard and asked aloud: "Meng hasn't asked yet, who is this master's surname?" I don't know how long you have been in the Shuwang Mansion? ”

"Hui Yu Master Meng, his subordinate surname is Gu, his name is Huai'en, and he has been in the Shuwang Mansion since his grandfather." Gu Huaien said loudly, with a hint of silence in his voice: "The sixth prince is kind to his subordinate family, and his subordinates should follow the orders of the sixth prince and will never disobey." ”

The head of the Meng family only smiled lightly at Gu Huaien's words, and then did not say anything more. Tonight, there is a broken first quarter moon hanging in the sky, the light of the bright moon is as warm as water and jade, but there is a strange blue light around it, which looks chilling and creepy.

The two walked in the corridor of the Meng family's house, and the Meng family could see soldiers everywhere at this time, and the swords in the hands of those soldiers reflected the bright moon and the light of the lights, which seemed to cut the Meng family's loyalty to the Linyue royal family for more than a hundred years, sword by sword, and then disappeared cleanly bit by bit.

Walking to the door of the room, the head of the Meng family stopped, and then pushed the door in. The room was lit by moonlight, but it wasn't too dark. By the moonlight, the head of the Meng family found the candlestick, then took out the fire fold and lit the candle.

In an instant, the light illuminated the entire room, and at this time, the guard named Gu Huaien slowly walked into the room.

The room furnishings of the head of the Meng family are extremely simple, simple, there are two rows of green jade beads and red gold beads alternately strung into a bead curtain on the left and right, the green jade luster is warm, soft as the moonlight, the gold pearls are brilliant and gorgeous, just like the sun, at this time, I see the feeling of the sun and the moon.

In addition, the most prominent thing in the room is a plaque facing the room, which is a plaque made of white jade, surrounded by black jade, carved with the pattern of dragon traveling in the world on the white jade, and carved on the black jade is carved a circle of flowing cloud patterns, the style is simple but there is no lack of elegance and Yonghua. In the middle of the plaque, there are two big characters carved out of red gold on it by the yang carving process.

Dragon back.

This plaque was carved by the order of Emperor Shuwen that year, and then sent to the Meng family in person. Because of this, the Meng family won the greatest honor of the Linyue royal family and became the head of the five major families in Linyue. Now, decades have passed in a hurry, and in the middle of the night, under the candlelight, this plaque still seems to reveal the supreme dignity of the year.

After the head of the Meng family entered the door and lit the candle, he kept looking at the plaque, his eyes were as deep as the dense forest illuminated by the morning light, although the sunlight penetrated through the cracks in the trees, but the dense forest was still boundless dark, the head of the Meng family was so staring at this time, and it was getting deeper and deeper.

"This plaque, subordinates have also heard of it, and today it is really a blessing for three lives to be able to see its glory." Gu Huaien followed the gaze of the head of the Meng family and looked at the plaque. People in several major palaces know that this dragon plaque is Emperor Shuwen's nostalgia and concern for the six princes of the year.

The dragon returns, the dragon returns, praying that the son of the true dragon will come back to inherit the unification. It's a pity that after all, it's just an endless extravagance.

Of course, this dragon plaque also has another meaning, that is, to ask the Meng family to protect the descendants of the Shuwang Mansion with death.

"Gu Guard said with a smile, this plaque is just a gift from the royal family, and the honor is infinite." The head of the Meng family smiled faintly, and then did not look at the plaque again. He walked to the back of the room and stopped at the candlestick next to the couch. Slowly turning his head to the candlestick, at this time, a wall next to the Meng family's couch suddenly went up, and a place about two feet long and wide appeared, in which was placed a box with a black lacquer carved dragon and phoenix.

Standing in front of the box, the head of the Meng family was silent for a while, and then took out the box.

Back in the outer pavilion of the room, the head of the Meng family put it on the table, then took out a key from his neck and opened the lock of the box.

"Gu guard, the holy decree of the sixth prince is in this box, and there are Lao Gu guards to bring the holy decree to the prince, which is also the last thing the Meng family has done for the Linyue royal family." The head of the Meng family glanced at Gu Huaien, and then his gaze fell on the box, and there was an unspeakable dark light flowing from his eyes.

Hearing the words of the Meng family master, Gu Huaien's eyes stared at the box, and the expression in his eyes was slightly complicated. After he glanced at the box twice, he smiled and said, "Master Meng, if you always have some bad actions, you will bother you to take out the holy decree, can you?" ”

"Gu guards are afraid of putting poison in it?" The head of the Meng family directly opened his mouth, and there was no trace of non-stop in his voice. He opened the box very calmly, stared at the things inside, and said, "This holy decree has been in the Meng family for decades, and there is nothing wrong with being cautious with the guards." ”

Taking out the holy decree, the head of the Meng family directly handed the holy decree to Gu Huaien.

The bright yellow silk brocade is under the candle flame, the light is bright, and the silk brocade is embroidered with auspicious clouds and crane patterns, which looks magnificent, Yonghua and noble. The green jade is the axis, and the silver dragon is embroidered on the top of the silk brocade attached to the green jade, and the dragon and the auspicious clouds soar among them, showing the royal atmosphere.

"Thank you so much for Master Meng's understanding." Gu Huaien looked at the holy decree, the smile on the corner of his lips was slightly meaningful. The rank of the decree can be seen by its shaft handle. First-class jade shaft, so this holy decree must be a holy decree of succession.

Taking the holy decree from the hands of the Meng family master, Gu Huaien quickly put the holy decree in his arms, and then pulled out the soft sword at his waist and attacked the Meng family master. Probably didn't expect Gu Huaien to be like this suddenly, but the head of the Meng family didn't react, and was hit with a heavy sword, and blood gushed out from his chest.

Immediately, the head of the Meng family staggered back a few steps, his hands on the table, supporting his body. His eyes looked at Gu Huaien and said, "Meng will not resist, why is the Gu guard doing something to Meng now?" ”

"Master Meng, the emperor has a decree, and after the holy decree is in hand, the life of the head of the Meng family can be ended, and his subordinates are just obeying the emperor's order." On Gu Huaien's face, the smile was smooth to the extreme. The light stretched over his face, and a layer of indescribable shadows fell on him, and that shadow made Gu Huaien's whole person look like an indescribable aura of killing and death.

Hearing this, a trace of disbelief appeared on the face of the head of the Meng family, he looked at the token hanging from Gu Huaien's waist, and asked a little angrily: "Since you are the guard of the Shu Wang's Mansion, why did you defect to the emperor?" Don't you know that the Shuwang Mansion is the orthodoxy of Linyue and the orthodoxy of the emperor? ”

"The subordinates naturally know, but since the subordinates are subjects of Linyue, they naturally have to be loyal to the current emperor, not a person who has come back from outside." After Gu Huaien finished speaking, he put away the soft sword. He looked at the blood that kept flowing from the chest of the head of the Meng family, smiled faintly, and said, "Master Meng, since you are loyal to the Shuwang Mansion, then take a good look at the dragon plaque given to you by Emperor Shuwen, and then watch your hundred-year-old Meng family be destroyed in one fell swoop." ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Huaien walked out. He was very aware of his martial arts, and he also knew that the sword he had just made had pushed the head of the Meng family to the brink of death, so he did not immediately ask for the life of the head of the Meng family. Anyway, the holy decree of succession has been received, and the use value of the Meng family master is gone.

After Gu Huaien's footsteps could not be heard, the head of the Meng family stood up straight, and then took out the soft armor that was placed on his chest. If it weren't for this soft armor, his life might have been lost just now.

With a slight sigh, the head of the Meng family sat down, looked at the plaque, and there was unspeakable helplessness in his voice: "The ancestors of the Meng family, the unfilial son Meng Qi is afraid that he will not have the opportunity to hand over the holy decree of succession to the six princes." ”

"There's a chance."

A cold female voice came, and the head of the Meng family immediately followed the voice. At this time, a slender figure came out from the other side of the room, and when he saw the person's face, the head of the Meng family was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

"You are the Hua Qingmo mentioned by the Seventh Prince, the woman of the Sixth Prince."

"The head of the Meng family is wrong, Qingmo is not the woman of the sixth prince, but his wife."
