Xiao Yi had already rushed to the imperial capital at this time, because he had returned from the frontier, and he had received an order when he set off, and when he came back, he naturally had to see Emperor Wei again. When Emperor Wei saw him, his face was full of smiles, naturally he was happy because he had won the battle, but Xiao Yi was not happy, this victory had nothing to do with him at all.

He had already begun to estimate the time in his heart, and now Xiao Jin and his army should have received an ambush, and he had already blocked the information that the army was coming to Kyoto in advance, as long as Xiao Jin didn't find out, then it was impossible for the news from there to come before they entered Beijing. Emperor Wei asked a few questions on the battlefield, and Xiao Yi obediently answered them one by one, and he was not meek.

Suddenly, Emperor Wei seemed to remember something, and there was some dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Yi, "Why did you come back first?" Don't come back with the army? I didn't recall you in advance, so you don't have to be in such a hurry. In fact, in Emperor Wei's heart, he thought that Xiao Yi came back early to make merit, even if he already knew that Xiao Yi had not yet entered the battlefield, the battle was over, but if Xiao Yi really regarded him as a fool, he would not be polite to him.

"The minister thinks that the war is over, so he naturally has to personally tell his father the victory, and see his father happy, so that the minister can rest assured." Xiao Yi had already discussed with the military advisor about the countermeasures to respond, and directly told Emperor Wei the answer.

Emperor Wei nodded with satisfaction, fortunately Xiao Yi did not disappoint him this time, otherwise he might have given up this son directly, "Xiao Jin is okay in the frontier?" At this time, he remembered that Xiao Jin, who was desperately working on the battlefield for the entire Great Wei, couldn't help but feel a little worried about Xiao Jin, "Looking at the way he put on armor, I seem to have seen what I looked like back then, and he has the demeanor of my back then." Emperor Wei nodded with satisfaction, there was finally a person among these sons who matched his heart.

Xiao Yi pursed his lips, thinking in his heart, what the military advisor said is really right, now that Xiao Jin has won the battle, Emperor Wei's heart is full of him, and he can't tolerate others at all, if there are any ministers who say a few words, he may miss the throne forever. Fortunately, he was alert in advance, otherwise when that time came, he would really have to regret it. Thinking like this in his heart, he had already spoken, "It's been a few days since they set off, so why haven't they arrived in Kyoto yet?" Now that he has won, Xiao Jin shouldn't stay outside anymore, it's better to recall him as soon as possible, lest something go wrong after a long time. ”

His words were hinting at Emperor Wei in and out of his words, but Emperor Wei didn't take his words to heart at all, these means of competing for favor, the little Jiujiu in his heart, he really saw too much, and Xiao Yi's small means were not enough at all. But after thinking about it carefully, Xiao Yi's words were also somewhat true, so he nodded, "What you said makes sense, then pass on the order, let Xiao Jin return to Beijing as soon as possible, speed up the march, and stop dragging on the road." ”

After Xiao Yi got the result he was satisfied with, he retired directly.

On the other side, Xiao Jin was still dismantling the wounds on his body, and when he heard the order from Kyoto, he sighed deeply. If he was the only one who was injured, it would not matter, but there were so many people among the soldiers who were attacked, and the number of wounded was even greater. The rush is still barely enough, and it is even more difficult to speed up. But after all, it was the emperor's order, and it was impossible for them to refuse, so they had to give the order and speed up the pace of the march.

After the pace of their march had quickened, they found an inn and rested that evening. Originally, this was just an ordinary trivial matter, but Lian Yan always felt as if something was wrong, and from the moment he entered the inn, his eyes kept looking around, and he always had some bad premonitions in his heart. But he couldn't say anything, so he didn't talk to Xiao Jin.

Waiting until late at night, Xiao Jin and Ji Ketian sat in the room, thinking about what happened recently, their heads couldn't help but hurt a little, things came too suddenly, they were not prepared at all, as if the results of the investigation were said to be done by the beam, but they always felt that things were not so simple.

The assassins came too quickly, and the emperor's order came too quickly, as if they were premeditated, and dug a trap waiting for them to jump, but now they have no clue at all, and can only see the move. The road is already so dangerous, but when they really return to the imperial capital, it will be the real Longtan Tiger's Den, and if they are not careful, they may not even be left with the corpse.

"Now that you are in the limelight, I don't know how many people in the imperial capital are preparing to attack you, you must be careful in every way after you go back, be careful, if you don't pay attention, you may die without a corpse." Ji Ketian looked at Xiao Jin with some concern, her heart was full of mixed tastes, and she was unusually worried, and she always had an ominous premonition, which made her panic.

I still want to stay in the frontier very much, if I stay, at most the environment will be more difficult, better than those lives that seem to be sugar-coated poison. He sighed deeply, "You also have to be careful on the way back, we don't rule out that those people will plan to attack you on the way." At least when you were assassinated a few days ago, I don't think it's as simple as it seems. ”

Xiao Jin nodded matter-of-factly, and knew in his heart that what Ji Ketan said was right, if there was no evidence, he would definitely find the mastermind behind the scenes to settle accounts, and let him know the price of doing such a thing, "After returning to the imperial capital, you should also pay attention to your words and deeds, other people's words and deeds will not be very clear when the time comes." Xiao Jin said meaningfully, constantly hinting at the tilt.

Ji Ke listened to her words, felt a little uncomfortable, and wanted to say something to refute him, but at this time, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the two of them looked at each other strangely, and their hearts became vigilant.

"It's me." It turned out to be Lian Yan who knocked on the door, in the middle of the night, Lian Yan came to find the two of them to do something, Xiao Jin and Ji Ketian could obviously see the doubts in each other's eyes, but Xiao Jin still got up and opened the door for Lian Yan.

As soon as he opened it, Lotus Yan rushed in directly, as if someone outside was chasing him, with a nervous face. Xiao Jin and Ji Ketian glanced at each other again, and they were even more puzzled in their hearts, the two of them had never seen Lian Yan's panicked look.
