The forest shows that the darkness is dark, and the twilight in the city is cold. The snow blew into every household in Shengjing, and also into the long palace wall, sinking into the palace sea.

Mao Fang followed Gonggong Qian, walking on the corridor of the deep hall, with a solemn expression, thinking about the secret guard sent to look for Meichuan the day before yesterday, but now there is no one alive or dead, and he should have been "dealt with".

Of course, he would never take the initiative to mention this matter to Emperor Hui, after all, now he was counting on the Mao family army to increase his strength, and now let him know that the whereabouts of the twenty elites sent out were unknown, and even one Meichuan could not be defeated, then Emperor Hui's trust in him would definitely be greatly reduced.

Mao Fang looked at the Baohua Hall in front of him, which was the place where Ying Hui inherited the edict that day, and it was also the place where Gonggong Xiao's blood was sprinkled on the red wall, and he always wondered why Gonggong Xiao committed suicide.

Ying Hui is certainly suspicious by nature, but he has never expressed his dissatisfaction with Grandpa Xiao, nor will he take action against this old man who honestly serves the first emperor on weekdays, and it is definitely not Ying Hui who drives Grandpa Xiao to a dead end!

Thinking about it carefully, the day of the emperor's death was really bizarre, and he first sent Mei Qi to take Zhuang Hao, an idler, into the palace, which was obviously to guard against Ying Hui, because no one in the entire court knew that Zhuang Hao had refused to join the prince. On that day, he wanted to get that Emperor Heng was ready to entrust Gu on his deathbed and let Ying Yanyang, the "imperial grandson", succeed to the throne.

But in the last edict, it was written in black and white that the successor was Ying Hui, why did the first emperor do this? It's another edict, and it's a gold medal for avoiding death, is it Zhuang Hao who he wants to keep? Apparently not!

What does Emperor Heng want to keep?

Mao Fang shook his head, he never thought in his heart that Ying Hui was not a talent for governing the world at all, and even his brother Ying Ming didn't know if he killed him......

However, the Mao family has been up and down for many years in the previous dynasty, and one by one the martyrs shed their blood for Daqi, but they couldn't get the position of a marquis! On the contrary, the people are getting thinner and thinner, and the side branches are becoming more and more unsuccessful, and the men of the family are only left with him and Yuan Qing, since their Mao family has long been tied to Ying Hui, they can no longer be untied!

Walking to the Wenhua Palace, Gonggong Qian led him in, only to see the gold and stone in front of him, the literati calligraphy and painting, the left picture and the right history, a faction of atmosphere and quite elegant. The yellow rosewood chair and screen are carved with exquisite patterns, and the gold rosewood study is full of luxury!

Ying Hui, who was dressed in a yellow robe, sat at the desk, and when he saw Mao Fang entering, he waved his hand to let the other idlers retreat.

After kneeling and saluting, Ying Hui put down the case fold in his hand heavily, his eyes were anxious, and he even breathed with irritability: "Did Mei Qi speak?" ”

When Mao Fang heard this, sure enough, Ying Hui only had this matter in his heart, only to see him look solemn and shook his head: "Chen and Zhou Fengmao have exhausted all methods, whether it is torture to extract a confession or to be coerced by his family, Mei Qi still does not admit that he took the tiger talisman." ”

Ying Hui saw that the last breakthrough was blocked, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart, this Mei Qi definitely didn't use it for himself, and he didn't have a good life like Zhuang Hao, and there was a death-free gold medal in the way. Since it is collusion with the remnants of the former dynasty, it should be connected with the nine clans!

"I give him another ten days, and if he still doesn't say it, the Mei clan will punish the nine clans!"

Mao Fang was shocked by Ying Hui's words, and said with a strong trembling voice: "Your Majesty! Kill Mei Qi, then these 50,000 Yulin army ......"

"Humph!" Ying Hui's eyes were ruthless, it was a kind of ruthlessness that those who obey me prosper and those who disobey me die:

"I'm just going to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys!"

"When I arrive, I will see who dares to stand up in the Yulin Army!" Since he is the emperor of Daheng, he is in charge of everything, including the hearts of the army, the hearts of the ministers, and the hearts of the people.

"Whoever dares to stand up will be killed!"

Mao Fang stared at Ying Hui's undoubted red eyes, where did he dare to say anything, so he had to put the facts out in embarrassment: "That tiger talisman? ”

A country cannot be without a king for a day, and a king cannot be without soldiers for a moment!

Ying Hui couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "There are many people in the world who have seen tiger talismans, but there are no more than four people who can distinguish tiger talismans, that is King Ying, King Xiao, Mei Qi, and you!" ”

The older generation of generals and marquis either died of illness or died on the battlefield, Mao Fang was his own person, Mei Qi soon became a dead soul under the knife, the lame man of the British king could not become the climate, and King Xiao had lost the opportunity to enter the Central Plains far away in the south!

"Find the best craftsman and make a new Tiger Talisman!"

After hearing this, Mao Fang suddenly felt that he couldn't even breathe, and the new tiger talisman was called a high-sounding one? This is a forgery! The East Window incident happened, and his Mao family could connect the nine clans!

"Minister......" Mao Fang's Danfeng eyes were completely contradictory, and he suddenly saw Ying Hui's inquiring eyes, thinking in his heart that Emperor Hui was suspicious by nature, if he refused at this moment, then his previous efforts would be wasted!

"Obey the order!"

——

After dinner, Yan Du went back to the room to silently pack up her baggage, and soon it was spring, she calculated, just in time for the Shangyuan Day when she went home with her brother. The thought of being able to go home to see her father and mother, whom she hadn't seen for more than a year, made Yan Duan's heart feel more excited.

However, it is still necessary to focus on the two tasks in front of you, one is to find the commander of Mei Qi and find out the conspiracy of Mao Fang and Emperor Hui. The second is to kill Li Tong, avenge everyone on board, and do his best to help other victims who are still alive.

Both tasks are even more difficult! Her opponents are all the most powerful people in the entire Daheng!

Two years ago, she must not have dared to make such a determination, at that time, she lived in Zhuangfu, thinking that she had more knowledge than ordinary people, and she could control the situation at will, eager to take revenge on Li Guiwang, but she didn't know that she inadvertently harmed others, and almost pulled the dealer into danger.

As soon as she thought of this, she involuntarily opened the box on the table and took out a letter that she had re-glued inside, she didn't have the courage to read the contents, but she was already familiar with it.

"Everyone on the ship was killed by Li Tong, Li Guiwang Chen Tu died in prison, none of them survived, I don't know if you are satisfied?"

Her arrogance, blind impulsiveness, is clearly displayed in a few lines. At that time, not only did he not appreciate it, but he also blamed the other party for being nosy.

Hey, what frivolity!

Yan Du couldn't help but reach out and knock on her head, if she could see the person who wrote the letter in the future, she must apologize to him!

A round of bright moon shines on people, according to her words, according to the people who are high up in the sky, and according to the people who stand behind the scenes and watch a play. The people who helped her, she will remember it in her heart, and those who have done evil to the world, she will wield her sword against it!

Thinking of this, Yan Du sighed deeply, packed up her baggage, and set off early tomorrow morning!

"Knock knock!" There was a steady knock on the door, and there was no need to ask, Yan Du knew who was coming.

"Uncle Achuan! Come in! ”

Yan Du smiled and watched Mei Chuan push the door in, when she first saw it, she felt that this person was tall and mighty and had the bearing of a military general, and sure enough, he was not only a military general who had been a powerful general, but also a predecessor who could only be glimpsed in the history books.

Mei Chuan stared at Yan Dui, the little doll had a fever half a month ago, and after that, he looked for a ruler everywhere to measure whether he was tall, who knows how long he was a soybean.

I'm still growing up!

Yan Du stared at Mei Chuan curiously, only to see him take out a map and a vial from his arms, and said to her, "What I said tonight, you have to remember ......"

Mei Chuan explained word by word, listening quietly. In fact, Mei Chuan knew that even if he didn't tell him, the little doll would not forget his words, the little doll was talented, blessed with martial arts, and acted cautiously. When he goes out, he will inevitably meet wicked people and face difficult things, but he believes that the little doll can deal with anyone and anything with ease.

The reason for the imminent departure is because he has something on his mind! It can't be round, and there are no regrets.

If you can be round, you can just let it go......

——

Approaching the end of the year, Shengjing City disposed of the New Year's goods, so lively, but this excitement could not be transmitted to the cell of Dali Temple.

The jailer walked in front, opening one door after another, Mao Fang walked behind, his face reflected in the dim candle flame, and the vicissitudes of time spread to the corners of his Danfeng eyes.

Slowly walked to the end of the cell, and passed through three large iron gates, each with a gap between them, and the cells were divided according to the degree of crime committed by the prisoners. The new emperor ascended the throne, the world was amnesty, and in the already deserted prison, only one Mei Qi was quietly and lifelessly imprisoned in the deepest place.

Mao Fang looked at Mei Qi, who was covered in blood, his hands and feet were chained, and Mei Qi, who used to guard Emperor Heng's side, was so tall and solid that his eyes were red, and now he was like a lost dog, losing all his dignity and losing all his high positions, but he still sat upright and put everything out of the way!

Mao Fang couldn't help but smile, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, and he even felt a trace of sadness for this opponent who had been his opponent for many years!

"The emperor has already decreed, if you don't say it again, ten days later, the Mei clan will punish the nine clans!"

Without a trace of emotion, Mao Fang, who was wearing a dark blue brocade robe, stood straight in front of Mei Qi, who was in rags, looking down at him who closed his eyes and recuperated.

Mao Fang's words didn't seem to be able to arouse a trace of Mei Qi's reaction at all, only to see that the other party was breathing as usual, maybe he had already known such consequences!

"Your wife and children are imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department"

Suddenly, an indifferent tone pierced Mei Qi's indomitable heart, and the smiling faces of his wife and children in the past sprung up uncontrollably in his mind.

These days, no matter how torture and torture he is, he can grit his teeth and endure it, but when he thinks of his wife and children's suffering, he breaks his heart and liver, and swears to the sky that he will make their lives go smoothly and teach his children to become men who stand up to the sky, but now, I am afraid that he will not be able to do it!

But he can't be like Gonggong Xiao, once he dies, he has 50,000 Yulin troops behind him, and the future of the entire Daheng on his shoulders! He won't kill himself, he won't escape from prison, he is just waiting, waiting for Ying Hui to kill him!

Mao Fang stared at Mei Qi's trembling eyelashes tightly, he knew that he was suppressing the great grief in his heart!

Half-paid, Mei Qi's hoarse voice like swallowing charcoal sounded faintly in the empty prison:

"So what?"

Mao Fang closed his eyes deeply, Mei Qi finally refused to admit Ying Hui, this guy, maybe after many years, will get the name of a loyal martyr!

But he is different, he would rather bear the infamy of the ages, but also live this life well, and he also wants to stand at the peak of Daheng's civil and military officials, and he also wants to look down on the entire Daheng!

Even if it's just for a moment!

Life has been infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue looks similar every year. A round of moonlight shone on this pale prison, reflecting the two military generals who were once proud and ambitious to defend the country.

It's just that after bidding farewell to the ambitions of their youth, they embarked on two different paths of no return!
