Chapter 62: The Night of Horror (Part II)

Xiao Yuan began to read the holy decree, everyone in the general's mansion knelt down to listen, after the holy decree was read, everyone's faces turned pale, especially Xiao Yuan, he never thought that the emperor, who had always been loyal and dedicated to assisting, would be so cruel to him and his family.

The officials of the Xiao clan were all executed and executed three days later.

There is only one sentence in the Divine Decree.

I laughed, couldn't help laughing, everyone present was stunned by my unusual behavior, especially Bae Jun, who looked at me like a madman.

"Come on, Xiao Ergongzi is crazy, quickly tie him up and imprison him."

At the sound of an order, several red-clothed guards rushed in outside the door, the chains in their hands were as thick as eggs, and first tied up the eldest son and third son of the Xiao family.

I looked at Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu understood what I meant, and just wanted to draw his sword when he saw two people falling in outside the door, covered in blood, and rolled his eyes on the spot.

In the hall, at least ten black-clothed people rushed in with scimitars in their hands, Pei Jun had already been frightened and his face was bloodless, in the end he was a person who didn't know martial arts, he lived so big, let alone killing, it was estimated that he wouldn't dare to kill chickens.

The smell of blood began to permeate, and the ten men in black looked at Pei Jun with death-like eyes, and one of them spoke, "Take the young master away." ”

As soon as the words fell, the four men in black had already begun to move towards me, and Pei Jun also ordered the accompanying Praetorian Guards to surround this place at the same time, and for a while, the two sides were tense. One is that there are many people, and the other is that there are few people who defend it. It's really comparable.

In the shadow of the sword and sword, Xiao Wu took advantage of the chaos to come to my side. whispered: "Master, it turns out that you have a plan." ”

"Huh?"

"Master, tell me first next time you have such a plan, it scared you to death just now."

I was a little puzzled, "Isn't it the one you arranged?" ”

"No, master, didn't you arrange for someone to pick us up?"

I shook my head, "No, things are so weird tonight." Xiao Wu, wait a minute, we must do our best to rush out, I always feel that this matter does not look like the emperor did it. ”

Xiao Wu also seemed to think of this, "What the master means is that someone is trying to kill people by falsely preaching the holy decree. ”

I glanced at Xiao Yuan, shook my head with a slight chill, and said, "Killing people is small." His real purpose should be the throne of the Northern Han Dynasty, and he can't wait. ”

Xiao Wu understood a little, he looked at the two sides who were fighting at the moment, and suddenly picked up a teacup and slammed it on the ground. yelled: "Stop, don't look at what kind of place this is, which round gets your presumptuousness."

It's a simple but profound statement. The ten men in black were the first to stop, and collectively dodged to my side. The cold light sword pointed at the Praetorian Guards on the opposite side, and they formed a circle. Surrounded me and Xiao Wutuan, I affirmed my previous thoughts, and said in my heart that it was really expected, I said that the feng shui of this Xiao family is not good, and it is impossible to give birth to such a dragon among people.

Pei Jun obviously saw something, he walked up to Xiao Yuan and interrogated: "Xiao Yuan, look at the good son you gave birth to, the emperor has saved the face of your Xiao family, left you a whole corpse, and gave you dignity, but look at it, your son actually openly resisted the order, if I report it truthfully, your Xiao family, side branches, and even all those who are related to you by marriage will lose their lives." ”

Xiao Yuan's face immediately changed, but he was not worried about Pei Jun's words, on the contrary, his worries all came from me, that is, the second son of the Xiao family.

"Don't let him lay down his weapons quickly, Xiao Yuan, do you really want to connect the Nine Clans?" Pei Jun was quite anxious.

Xiao Yuan didn't say a word, just looked at me quietly, and suddenly he said: "All along, I hope you don't grow up, but I was wrong, wolves will always be wolves, no matter what, twenty years ago, the lord of Yicheng let me go, and I also repaid him for not killing a few years later, Han'er, you go, go back to the place that belongs to you, since they came to you, it means that you are already needed over there." ”

At this moment, after he said these words, my heart suddenly twitched, and his words seemed to imply that everything I had felt these days was true, but, this

I was stunned on the spot, and at this moment, a person came in from outside the door again, and this woman was frightened.

"You're alright?"

I shook my head at her, and then instructed the men in black, "Kill everyone here, not a single one." ”

Xiao Wu's face changed immediately after hearing this, and his sword was unsheathed, slashing in a perfect arc in mid-air before colliding with a dagger, and sparks flew everywhere.

"You" I looked at Xiao Wu, who had already turned out of the protective circle, and looked at him coldly, "Sure enough, it's you." ”

Xiao Wu looked at me with a little debt and said, "Do you remember what you said to me?" ”

I just looked at him silently.

Xiao Wu stretched out his palm to show me, and there were two chess pieces, one black and one white, in the palm of the palm, "You said that on the chessboard, it is destined that one person will hold the white pieces, and one person will control the black pieces, each with its own master, and it will never come together." ”

I looked at the ground in the twilight, and suddenly looked up at him, "You are the prince's person, you have been by Xiao Xiaohan's side for ten years, if it weren't for my unexpected appearance this time, now, the entire Xiao family has been uprooted by you and your master." ”

Xiao Wu was a little puzzled and asked, "What does General Xiao mean by this?" ”

I looked at him and smiled, "Actually, you know very well in your heart that I am not alone with your master at all, you are the same as the frightened spirit, you are aware of the changes in the second son of the Xiao family, but you can't find any evidence to prove that your thoughts are true, today, I will tell you the truth, I am indeed not Xiao Xiaohan, Xiao Xiaohan died as early as that day, he was killed by your design, and he didn't know that he died at the hands of his brother who had been with him for ten years. ”

Looking at me with wide eyes, I glanced back at her and continued: "The emperor's idea of getting rid of the Xiao family is not a day or two, but a plan for ten years, Xiao Yuan, you think you did it seamlessly, you think you smuggled this child back, claiming that it was born from a concubine, because of the concubine, so no one paid attention, and then handed it over to your wife to raise on the grounds that the identity of the concubine affects the future, give him the best everything, let him grow, but all this, General Xiao, do you know?" All this was seen by the emperor, you think about it, the generalissimo of the Northern Han Dynasty actually concealed the children he brought back from the enemy country, and raised them, he gave you a chance, as long as you confessed everything at the time, maybe you can dispel the emperor's suspicion of you, but you regard brotherhood as more important than the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, you think you can achieve both loyalty and righteousness, but you are wrong, the emperor is always ruthless, not to mention, you are still a general with military power. ”

My words stunned everyone present, especially Pei Jun, who came here not only to read the holy decree, but also to Xiao Xiaohan.

Xiao Wu stood in place and didn't say a word, I looked at him and said: "Xiao Wu, I came here by an accident, I don't know if this is an illusion or I was really brought back to the past by the power of the Huangquan Staff, but I just want to tell you now, Xiao Xiaohan really regards you as a brother, think about it, with his skills and military talent, if it weren't for his absolute trust in you, how could he be ambushed, and how could he die of exhaustion after holding on alone for three hours without support, the moment he fell, Your heart and mind are indeed your safety. ”

There were tears in the corners of Xiao Wu's eyes, and I pointed to the frightened soul and said to him: "You may never think that this woman called the frightened soul is Princess Yongtai of Yicheng, that is, Xiao Xiaohan's half-sister." ”

The frightened soul took off his veil, and the posture of the country shocked Xiao Wu, his sword fell to the ground, and the whole person knelt in front of Xiao Yuan, "General, I'm sorry." ”

Xiao Yuan had nothing to say to him, just silently looked at the frightened soul, and the frightened soul knelt on one knee with his right hand clasped in front of his chest, which was the greatest etiquette of the snowy royal family.

"Yi Hua thanks the general for taking care of the eldest brother over the years."

Xiao Yuan's eyes were hazy with tears, and he looked at it for a moment, and said, "Princess, please get up quickly, such a big gift, the last general will not dare to take it." ”

Then he looked at me again and said, "Although I don't know who you are, I still want to thank you, thank you for letting me get along with Han'er for a few more days, in fact, before you came back, I had already received a secret report, Han'er had died on the battlefield, but I later heard that Han'er immediately made a great contribution and came back from the dead, I knew that this was not right, sure enough, when I saw you, I was already sure that you were not that child, however, I also have something I want to tell you, a manly man, be a man and do things but seek your own heart, Xiao Yuan is loyal to the king, but after all, he adopted the prince of the enemy country, although he has no intention of rebellion, but he also committed the crime of defrauding the king, on this day, I have been prepared, but right now, the thousands of lives of my Xiao clan cannot be sent to Huangquan in vain because of me alone, I beg you to help me, I also know that this thing is not easy to do, but I give you a gift, you bring it, with your wisdom and wisdom, you will definitely be able to do it. ”

Before I could say anything, or even before I could react, I saw a flash of red in the air and a man's head rolled down in front of me. (To be continued.) )
