Zhou An walked to the front yard with a few eunuchs, and only after passing the arch leading to the middle courtyard in the front yard, he saw Wu Xukuan who had already entered.

Wu Xukuan was dressed very ceremoniously, and he didn't come alone, bringing a large group of people.

There were more than 40 people in total, and more than 20 of them were in the Hell Realm.

There are four generals who are just a product, and there are even more who have knighthoods.

Zhou An also saw the figure of many Zhishi generals, all of whom were seventy or eighty years old, and Zhishi was not a few years old, although he was old, but after all, he was in the realm of hell, and his strength was still strong.

Wu Xukuan: This is the "family background".

Even some old guys who haven't gone out for many years came, and Zhou An could see the murderous aura on them.

There must be someone who can't leave the Hyunkook Mansion alive.

Zhou An quickly glanced around and found that Wu Xukuan was missing two important people.

One is Yang Hongsheng, this person is a veteran of a hundred battles, Wu Xukuan left the army, and when he joined the court as a scholar, he took a group of veterans of a hundred battles from the army, all of whom were his personal guards.

Yang Hongsheng is Wu Xukuan's personal guard captain, who is in his fifties this year, and he is in a perfect state.

He is known as Wu Xukuan's right-hand man and the most trusted subordinate!

There is also an important person, Wu Ailong!

Wu Ailong is the commander of the Qianjing Soldiers and Horses Governor's Office, the top boss of the soldiers and horses of the four cities of Qianjing, and he is also the commander of the armed cavalry army, and he controls the only independent cavalry army in Qianjing.

He also has another identity, Wu Xukuan's righteous son!

Wu Xukuan's biological sons were not in Qianjing City, and when he planned a rebellion, he sent all his sons away to serve in the local army, and he didn't want his family to become his fetters.

So in Qianjing City, Wu Ailong can be said to be Wu Xukuan's closest person.

He is also currently in Qianjing, the number one master under Wu Xukuan, saying that it is the perfection of the earth, but in fact it is a half-step Tiangang!

Wu Xukuan made such a big battle, and even a few old guys from Zhishi moved out, but Yang Hongsheng and Wu Ailong, two important figures, were missing, obviously...... They already have a task, and they are definitely doing something.

The courtyard was full of soldiers of the Tiance Army.

Although there are only five hundred people left in the Tiance Army left in the Xianguo Mansion, they are only guarding one mansion, and five hundred people are still a lot, and there are people everywhere who can stand.

Zhou An could see that they were all nervous.

Standing there with a spear in hand, his hands tightened.

No one can guarantee that when Zhou An and Wu Xukuan get closer, they will directly start a life-and-death fight!

Zhou An led people to meet him.

"Elder Wu Ge, so late at night, our family has planned to close the door to thank guests, why are you here at this time?" Zhou An pinched his tone and spoke.

Others came to the door to mourn Kang Longji, Zhou An was very polite, no matter what the official position was or what his status was, Zhou An represented Kang Longji's relatives, this is the rule.

But to Wu Xukuan, he was too lazy to be polite.

"You don't know why Ben Hou came?" Wu Xukuan said as he walked forward.

The two approached and stopped at the same time.

The people behind the two also stopped at the same time.

There are many people on Wu Xukuan's side, and there is a sense of oppression.

Although there are few people on Zhou An's side, Zhou An has no fear, Bai Xiaokui, who is dressed in disguise next to him, hangs his head, but he is ready to do it.

"Why? Is it to kill our family? Zhou An's words made everyone feel refreshed.

Even the few old guys who followed Wu Xukuan through the wind and waves all looked stunned.

The atmosphere froze in an instant.

Just wait for Wu Xukuan to speak.

If Wu Xukuan makes a move, it will be a bloody storm immediately!

"Manager Zhou laughed, you and I are both important ministers in the court, how can we fight and kill?" Wu Xukuan's expression was relaxed, and he actually smiled at Zhou An, and he respected Zhou An.

He'll definitely do it!

Zhou An can be sure, definitely!

Just not now.

Wu Xukuan has always respected his opponents, but there are really too few people who can be regarded as opponents by him.

Now he regards Zhou An as an opponent.

He wants to kill Zhou An!

"Ben Hou brought all the generals here today, it is to mourn the head of Kang Long Jikang, the head of Kang has spent his whole life for the court, although Ben Hou is estranged from him, but after all, he has been an official in the same dynasty for decades......

While Wu Xukuan was speaking, there were some special noises around the mansion.

The sound was not loud, but most of the people present were masters, and they could all hear it.

This is the sound of the Tiance Army mobilizing and arranging.

This reaction was naturally expected by Wu Xukuan, he had been prepared for a long time and did not take it to heart.

Zhou An listened to Wu Xukuan's words, his face remained unchanged, and he turned to the side and said directly: "Since it is a condolence, then please do it." ”

Wu Xu walked towards the middle courtyard with a group of people.

Zhou An and the others naturally walked together, but kept a certain distance from them.

The main room of the middle courtyard.

Mourning Hall.

Wu Xukuan was the first to mourn Kang Longji, he was really mourning according to the rules, bowing and offering incense.

This, of course, is stalling for time!

According to Wu Xukuan's plan, he came here first, instead of going straight to kill the empress, there were several reasons, the first was that he really wanted to kill Zhou An, and he didn't want the second Kang Longji to appear!

And the ability and means that Zhou An is showing now have surpassed Kang Longji in some aspects.

Zhou An is not dead, he is uneasy.

If Zhou An did not die after killing the empress, if Zhou An escaped from Qianjing and went to Rongcheng in the north to assist Princess Yunjing to ascend the throne...... This can be said to be endless!

Of course, that's not all the reason why Wu Xukuan came here first.

There are other reasons, such as, Zhou An is good to kill!

The difficulty of killing Zhou An is dozens of times easier than killing the empress!

It's not difficult at all!

And the most important reason why Wu Xukuan came here was to prompt the empress to divide the troops!

There is no doubt that Wu Xukuan will come to the Xianguo Mansion, and the empress will get the news immediately, the empress must know what Wu Xukuan is going to do, and does she want to protect Zhou An? Do you want to protect Longji's body?

Zhou An's importance to the empress is self-evident, and it can even be said that if it weren't for Zhou An, Wu Xukuan's rebellion would have been successful! It simply won't drag on to this day!

If she wants to protect it, it is too late to transfer troops from other places, so she can only divide the troops from her own side.

As a result, the power around the empress will be weakened.

In order to kill the empress, Wu Xukuan can be said to have made many preparations.

His visit to the Mansion of the Hyunkook was only part of the plan.

Wu Xukuan followed the steps and completed his condolences to Kang Longji, and then walked outside the door.

The others stepped forward again and offered condolences to Kang Longji one by one.

Zhou An stood outside the door with a "little eunuch", a foot away from Wu Xukuan, he should have been in the mourning hall, and he replied to the people who mourned Kang Longji, but he didn't.

There are other old eunuchs who are also representing Kang Longji's family, and Zhou An can do it if he doesn't do it.

He's done it before.

If you don't do it now, you naturally want to stare at Wu Xukuan.

Do it now?

Zhou An is not in a hurry!

It also takes time for the Tiance Army to be arranged, although he can guess that Wu Xukuan is delaying time, but he also needs time.

The more time you have, the better you prepare.

For a while, it was quiet outside the door of the mourning hall.

It's been a long time since then.

Suddenly!

Boom! Wow!

In the distance, a ray of red light flew up from the sky and exploded into a devastating firework in the night sky, which was mostly red but slightly golden.

Firework!

Actually, it's a flare!

The signal flare of the Shence Army, this kind of signal flare with gold, represents the empress in danger!

This is a flare to save the driver.

Wu Xukuan also raised his head and looked in the direction of the fireworks, his eyes were slightly confused, and then he turned his gaze to Zhou An.

Zhou An also looked at Wu Xukuan.

"Kill!" The two of them opened their mouths at the same time, saying the same word.

Kill!

Do it!
