At dusk, for some reason, a gust of wind suddenly swept through Shengjing, carrying the drifting snow and frantically covering everything in the sky and earth with a cold temperature.

Yan Du looked at the blizzard outside the window, the wind blew all the wine flags of the wine shop opposite, and the night came faster than usual.

Tonight, too, is a good time!

When the time comes, the entire Dali Temple is so quiet that a needle can be heard falling to the ground. The main jailer and jailer received the signal for the change of shift, put on a thick cloak, and opened the iron door outside.

Suddenly, a gust of wind seemed to see the opportunity, and while there was only one sleepy jailer left in the prison, it rushed in with lightning speed.

A leaf drifted into the prison with the cold wind, reflecting the flickering oil lamp, and at once hit the jailer's sleeping hole. A black-clad Yan Dusk passed through the hall, and in the blink of an eye, the keys on the wall were snatched away, and the three iron doors were quietly opened.

The moonlight, which was buried by dark clouds, suddenly shone in from the fist-sized window on the wall of Dali Temple, and a black shadow that was too fast to grasp at all flew to the deepest part of the prison.

What she got in her hand were hundreds of keys, and the keys were engraved with small characters, which could not be seen clearly in the dim environment. Twilight touched the carvings on the key one by one, but in an instant, she found the key to open Meiqi's cell.

At this moment, there was not much time left before the half-pillar incense, and the jailer on duty was only twenty steps from the gate, and she had to get everything back to its original state before they returned.

As soon as the oil lamp flashed, the jailer had already entered the door, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the jailer rubbing his eyes, and couldn't help but say with some annoyance: "You just fell asleep? ”

"No, no, no!" The jailer replied with some nervousness, "It's the snow in the eyes!" ”

The jailer didn't want to listen to his quibbles, so he looked fixedly at the keys hanging on the wall, a string of four, a string of hundreds, as if there was no less. However, the jailer was still not at ease, so he went to the first iron gate and looked at it, which was locked.

Looking at the second and third iron gates that go deeper from a distance, they are also tightly closed, so there should be no problem!

However, what the jailer didn't know was that on the large set of keys, there was a key to Meiqi's cell that had been removed, and another key to an unknown cell had been removed by Yan Du and hung on the string of keys next door, which only had four keys.

That is to say, at this moment, Yan Du is holding two keys in his hand, one is the key to the first iron door, and the other is the key to Meiqi's cell. The second and third iron gates that the jailer saw were all empty and unlocked.

This is the way back for Yan Du to leave his whole body to retreat!

As if there was no sound at all, and it seemed to be a howling wind through the hall, Yan Du pushed open the door where Uncle Achuan's brother was imprisoned, and what came into front of him was a man with blood stains on his clothes, only to see that he was tall and mighty, comparable to Uncle Achuan, but his hands, hands and feet were all chained.

I saw that he was sitting upright, with the posture of a military general, and he could still maintain his bearing under such circumstances, which was admired by Yan Duan.

"Who are you?" Mei Qi, who was imprisoned in the depths, spat out three words faintly.

She approached and crouched in front of him, and by a glimmer of dim moonlight, Mei Qi slowly opened her bloodshot eyes and looked at the little hairy child she had never seen before.

"I'm entrusted by Mei Chuan to come and find out your situation!" Yan Du stared carefully at the face covered in black blood in front of him, and it was hard to imagine what kind of torture he had endured under this robe.

"Umegawa." Mei Qi sighed deeply, these days with torture, with his wife and children coercion, with the Mei clan nine coercion, today, there is a Mei Chuan entrusted by me.

"Why should I trust you?"

Hearing this, the Ying Ting frowned, thinking of what Uncle Ah Chuan gave him before she left, she immediately took it out of her arms, it was the sealed small bottle.

"I worshipped Mr. Beiguo as my teacher last year, and Mei Chuan is my master, and he asked me to bring this wine to you." Yan Du opened the lid of the small bottle, and a faint fragrance of plum blossoms came out of the bottle, and suddenly, Mei Qi's distracted eyes seemed to be aroused by something, and stared at Yan Du tightly.

Uncle Achuan said that on the day of the Mei man's marriage, the elders in the family will give the juniors a glass of plum blossom wine. But when you got married, he had already left Shengjing! ”

"He said that he has already cleared up the Mei family, but for you, he still owes a glass of plum blossom wine!"

Yan Dui had a little water in her eyes, she didn't know why Mei Chuan would defect back then, bearing the infamy of "betraying the country", and she didn't know what he and Master had gone through, so they went around and finally came together!

In the middle of the night, Mei Qi stretched out his hand, took the plum blossom wine, pulled the chain in his hand and rustled in the night, he put the wine between his nose and sniffed, it was the fragrance of plum blossoms under the first snow in his hometown.

He smiled, looked up and drank it down.

Yan Du took a long breath, mixed feelings in his heart, the two looked at each other for a while, and finally heard Mei Qi speak:

"I was entrusted by Emperor Heng to hide the tiger talisman, and Emperor Heng asked me to choose, I can give it to anyone, but I thought about it for a long, long time, and there is still no suitable candidate."

He didn't think that Ying Hui would be able to take charge of Daheng and let the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment. He also didn't believe that Ying Yanyang, who had been hiding on Tianji Mountain, could understand the people's sufferings and be a wise man.

He knew that the King of England had no intention of competing for the throne, and that his legs were unclear but he endured all the grievances, and he also knew that King Xiao was cold by nature, and he lived in the south to avoid royal disputes, so why bother to confuse them.

He, Mei Qi, never thought of using the Tiger Talisman to rule the world, but he couldn't let the Tiger Talisman entrust the people and mess up the world!

"Tiger Talisman ......"

Yan Du muttered, what kind of big secret did she hear, it was hard to imagine that Ying Hui, the king of a country, did not have a tiger talisman now. It is even more difficult to imagine that Emperor Heng, a ridiculous character, actually asked a Mei Qi to choose the holder of the Tiger Talisman.

Isn't this a blatant attempt to provoke trouble?

"Emperor Heng, why do you want to do this? Since he chose Ying Hui, why did he make another move? ”

Even a little twilight of her knows that peace is not easy! The royal dispute seems to be a struggle between several factions, but there must be tens of millions of sacrifices underneath!

Mei Qi listened to Yan Dui's question, and didn't answer, just smiled, maybe he knew something, or maybe he didn't know anything.

"If I'm not mistaken, I'm going to ask tomorrow!" Mei Qi's voice carried a hint of relief, and a hint of complexity.

Yan Du nodded, and at noon tomorrow, the nine Mei clans will all ask and behead.

"Little hairy boy, let me ask you, who do you want to be the emperor?" Mei Qi suddenly smiled, and her cloudy eyes became clear.

Twilight's eyes widened in fright from his question, and her little mouth was a little flustered, not knowing how to answer.

Mei Qi was not in a hurry, just waited quietly.

After a long time, I only heard Yan Du lower his eyes and said frankly:

"I want to let someone who hopes for peace in the world become the emperor!"

Mei Qi couldn't help but smile when she heard Yan Dui's words. There are many people who hope for peace in the world, including him Meiqi and the little hairy child in front of him.

However, he is afraid that he will not be able to wait for the person who can truly achieve peace in the world!

"Little hairy boy, do me a favor!" Mei Qi looked at Yan Du steadily, with decisiveness and firmness in her eyes, and also had hope for her: "Help me tell you the tiger talisman to the person!" ”

"Why don't you go yourself?" Yan Dui's eyebrows were furrowed, and the swallowtail phoenix butterfly tattooed on her back was faintly painful: "I can save you out!" ”

Mei Qi shook her head, with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "I won't leave, if you save me, then it means that I Mei Qi must have a fellow party, anyone will think of the Yulin Army under me, with Emperor Hui's suspicious character, I would rather kill mistakes than let go, all the Yulin guards, none of them can be avoided!" ”

His men, he understands well! All the Yulin Army were like brothers and sisters to him, and they already knew what they were getting in exchange for this life! They will never come to rob people, he believes that the 50,000 Yulin Army will definitely understand his efforts!

"What about your wife and children? What do they do? ”

Yan Dui had a water light in his eyes, and was shocked and moved by the iron-clad generals in front of him, the righteousness, and the responsibility!

"They understand me!"

Mei Qi didn't know that this was not fair to his gentle and general lady, to his five-year-old child, to the nine Mei clans!

But, he can't compromise!

Behind him is the life of 50,000 Yulin Army! It is the life of the entire Daheng people!

Yan Du closed her distracted eyes, bitter memories slowly emerged, that night she asked Uncle Ah Chuan if she wanted to save Mei Qi, Uncle Ah Chuan shook his head, his eyes drifted into the distance: "No need to save!" ”

Probably, Uncle Achuan has long understood Mei Qi's choice!

Yan Du opened his eyes, nodded firmly, and said, "I, Li Fu, will do my best to entrust the Tiger Talisman to Daheng's True Dragon Heavenly Son!" ”

Mei Qi stared at Yan Dui's eyes tightly, and finally let out a long breath, he could finally let go, after tomorrow, he would not see the future of Daheng, but there were always people who had the same hope as him, and they would go to see for him!

The 50,000 Yulin Army behind him will go to see it for him!

"The tiger talisman is hidden on the plaque of the mansion of Hanlin Scholar Zhuang Hao on the east of Baihu Street!"

What the! Yan Du was shocked into a cold sweat by Mei Qi's understatement!

"Master Zhuang, does he know?" Yan Du asked in a low voice, there were so many things she didn't understand, why her house? Why Zhuangfu?

"He doesn't know." Mei Qi smiled and shook her head.

In fact, he had already figured out that the tiger talisman could be found wherever it was placed, and Emperor Heng gave Zhuang Hao the gold medal for avoiding death before he died, and he understood that Emperor Heng must have trusted Zhuang Hao, and when he was transported back to his house late that night, he quietly hid the tiger talisman on the plaque in his mansion.

Maybe one day, Zhuang Hao's idler accidentally cleaned the plaque and found that there was this head-killing thing hidden, he would be shocked!

However, no matter what, Zhuang Hao would not give up the tiger talisman to Ying Hui.

Because, when the edict was read that day, standing beside Zhuang Hao, he clearly saw a trace of unwillingness in his eyes!

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in from all directions, waking up the two people who were talking.

"Let's go, the jailer is ready to patrol!" Mei Qi had closed her eyes again, and her expression was no doubt that she had been when she first arrived.

"Good!" Yan Du nodded, not daring to look back at Mei Qi, who was indifferently facing life and death.

Walking to the door, she couldn't bear it, and finally turned around and said: "Commander Mei, there will always be someone in this Daheng who will remember your feat!" ”

Mei Qi listened, smiled, and her eyes were still closed:

"Little hairy boy, live well!"

The next moment, a gust of wind blew from the deepest part of the cell. The prison guards who were about to patrol stood up, and in an instant, the yin wind turned into wind knives, slashing straight at the oil lamps in all directions, and the wicks were completely extinguished against the powerful wind!

"What's going on? Why is the wind so strong? The jailer said loudly in surprise, startling the two jailers next to him to hurriedly look for the fire breaker.

Suddenly, there was a sway, like a clash of metal, and like a cold wind, and the jailer lit the fire, and the cell was bright again.

"Did you hear anything just now?" The jailer stared nervously at the key on the wall, but couldn't see any change.

The two jailers looked at each other, looked at each other, and replied in unison.

"Didn't hear me!"
