Chapter 44: No Regrets
Listening to the sound of the window closing, the man did not dare to breathe, and was completely in a state of fear, although he could get a lot of money as the servant of this lord, but he was in a state of fear all day long.
The woman gritted her teeth, although she was not afraid of those people in the Xuanwu Palace, but if she really entangled with them, it would still be very troublesome, but thinking about it, they didn't dare to offend Yichun Yuan so quickly.
She turned her head and looked at the man, "Go down now, and don't let me hear the slightest stir in the neighborhood tonight." ”
"Yes!" the man immediately agreed, then faced the woman, took two steps back, and turned away.
In this room, the woman was left alone, and the candlelight burning everywhere in the room lit the room transparently.
The woman walked to the window, she reached out and opened the window again, and outside the window, the sound of wind and sand in the huge garden was still so solemn.
The woman's eyes were sharp, although the area in front of her was very dim, but she had already scanned the whole area, and the streets and alleys outside the garden were brightly lit.
That night, it seemed that no one in the entire palace had slept well except for the common people.
In the imperial city, it was already late at night, but there were soldiers patrolling everywhere, and a lamp was hanging outside the mansion of every adult.
"I heard that Master Zhang's house has been raided!" A man wearing an official uniform and a black gauze hat had a solemn face, and he hurriedly walked into the main hall of this mansion.
"What?"
"Alas!"
At this moment, in the main hall of the palace, many people's sighs sounded here.
"And who's going to be next?"
The main hall of the palace is not big, this is the mansion of a two-grade master, here is a group of people wearing black gauze hats and official uniforms, they are these people as soon as they come to the court, they hurriedly rushed over with their big and small family members, this is not the first day like this.
Sitting in the center of the main hall is this two-rank officer, the big man is named Xi Hongyi, who is the deputy commander of the Blue Regent Army, and has always held the military power of the Blue Regent Army, but recently he was ordered by the palace to recall the capital and ordered not to leave the capital.
Xi Hongyi is old, but there are not many wrinkles on his face, and in this main hall, there are two first-class officials of the dynasty, but even they are a little overwhelmed.
"What should we do!" an adult suddenly roared loudly in the main hall, his voice full of helplessness.
"Only Lord Xi has a gold medal for avoiding death, so the rest of us ......" the other person also said loudly, their voices louder than the other.
"Alas, who made us follow the wrong person. ”
"No, we didn't follow the wrong person, the Prime Minister has always been a very good person, haven't you seen it after all these years?" the other strong-dressed adult immediately retorted.
"Don't you see? How long has it been? How many people have the prime minister harmed by himself? Twenty-three adults, because the prime minister was raided alone, and we in the main hall don't know what kind of fate will be!" said the refuted man in a loud voice with some excitement.
A cacophony of voices rang out in the hall.
"Okay, don't argue!" This Xi Hongyi was also a little helpless, he suddenly stood up, and then said loudly, he also knew what kind of situation he had, but the death-free token he had on his body could only protect himself, "What's the use of you arguing now? Could it be that you want the palace to know that all of you are gathered here with me?"
After Xi Hongyi's voice fell, there was no sound in this main hall for a while, and there were only a few sighs and sighs.
Xi Hongyi shook his head helplessly, this prime minister Lan Hanxian has always been loved by the people, as the prime minister, he has done all the good things, a famine, he sold most of the property in the mansion to subsidize it but did not let others know.
"It's useless for everyone to say this now, but you must know that since you chose to follow the prime minister at the beginning, then you have to accept this result now, I, Xi Hongyi, as the deputy commander of the Blue Regent Army, will act as the commander of the Blue Regent Army, so that the Blue Regent Army can truly become an army that deters other continents, which is all given by the Prime Minister, so even if I don't have this death-free gold medal now, I will die without regrets. As he spoke, this Xi Hongyi took out the death-free gold medal from his arms, and the word "death-free" was greatly engraved on this golden gold medal.
Everyone's eyes were focused on this Xi Hongyi's hand at this moment, this gold medal was almost what everyone here dreamed of, but they didn't think about what would happen next, only to see Xi Hongyi holding the gold medal and falling heavily to the ground.
With the sound of "bang", the direct collision between the marble floor and the gold medal made this deafening sound begin to echo in the main hall, and everyone looked at the scene in front of them blankly, they didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
"Lord Xi!" Suddenly, a lieutenant general who had been following Xi Hongyi said loudly in surprise, he hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the gold medal, but the gold medal had already been smashed off a corner, this gold medal to avoid death, but it must be enshrined, if a corner is broken, it will be useless.
The deputy general held the gold medal, he looked at Xi Hongyi, and said in a surprised voice: "Lord Xi......"
"Needless to say. Xi Hongyi's eyes were very indifferent, as if this gold medal that had been broken off a corner had never belonged to him, his eyes were unusually firm, "I never regretted my original choice and followed Prime Minister Lan Hanxian." ”
As soon as his voice fell, all of a sudden, a burst of footsteps echoed in the courtyard outside the main hall, and this uniform footstep made everyone's faces have a hint of foreboding, because such uniformity can only be done by the army of the palace.
"Why, don't you regret your choice?" a hearty voice came from outside the door, the door had not yet been opened, but everyone was already trembling.
"I don't regret it!" replied Xi Hongyi again.
