West Tang, Fenshui City, a mansion in the east.

The man who is more than eight feet tall, has a strong physique, and has good facial features is wearing a black robe. Holding the bow arm with one hand, the other hand propped up the sharp arrow and stretched the bowstring to the maximum, the sword eyebrows frowned slightly, the eyes were sharp and looked directly at the arrow target in front of him, aiming at the target without hesitation to shoot the nineteenth arrow of the day, no accident, the arrow hit the heart again.

Mo Mei had been standing behind Wei Feng for a while with the letter in her hand, and when she saw that the arrows in the quiver were empty, she stepped forward and said, "Childe, there is a letter from the Northern Desert." ”

This is the second letter sent by Beimo after Qianmo left the Western Tang Dynasty, the last letter from Murong Ze told him that Qianmo had left for Dongyue, and Qin Wei stayed in the Northern Desert for the time being, and at the same time asked him to start looking for news from the Lady of Wind Howling Sword Zhuang in the Western Tang Dynasty, and to pay attention to whether the Dark Pavilion Master had a relationship with the key people in the Western Tang Dynasty.

Wei Feng took the envelope, not knowing what Murong Ze would say in the letter. When I opened the envelope, there were two short messages written on it:

The first is that no one has been found in the Northern Desert who is longer than the middle finger of the left ring finger.

The second is: Murong Ze plans to personally send Qin Wei back to the Western Tang Dynasty on the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and let him go to Monte, the junction of the Northern Desert and the Western Tang Dynasty, to pick up Qin Wei and return to Fenshui City.

Ah Wei is finally coming back, it has been a few months since Qianmo and Ah Wei left Fenshui City in May and they were ordered to come back, and this huge mansion will inevitably look empty without the two of them.

Count the days, and you will be able to set off again in four days. He still has some things to arrange before leaving, recently the Tang City has not been peaceful, even Moyan Pavilion has been implicated, he needs to take some precautions, and at the same time, he must also sort out these things, send a message to Qianmo, and let her know the situation here.

Actually, at this time, he shouldn't leave, but he doesn't feel at ease when he takes over Ah Wei's affairs to others. Recently, seeing the messages sent from all over the place, the forces of all parties are secretly surging, and Moyan Pavilion is the target of everyone's competition, it is difficult to ensure that someone gets the news and hits Ah Wei's body with the idea, which is used to threaten Qianmo. Presumably, Murong Ze was also worried about this, so he would personally send Ah Wei back.

Half a month ago, the Western Tang Emperor finally ruled out the public opinion, and issued an order to summon the three princes to return to the court, if there is no accident, the holy decree should arrive in Nanyu City in these two days. But five days ago, the Western Tang Emperor suddenly began to go to the early dynasty, and the ministers of the court and the central government could not see the face of the Western Tang Emperor at all, and even the secret post buried in the Western Tang Emperor Palace by Moyan Pavilion was lost for no reason, and the two groups of people and horses he sent in a row since then also disappeared one after another, and he could not find out the news of the Western Tang Emperor, which had to make him all vigilant.

If the Western Tang Emperor really had an accident, I am afraid that the third prince will also be more auspicious. According to what he learned, Qianmo had asked Mo Yan to send someone to secretly check Mo Qingyan, and he didn't understand what Qianmo's attitude was towards this person, but dealing with the eldest princess Mo Wanfei had always been their goal, and if necessary, he was afraid that Qianmo would take action to protect Mo Qingyan, so he had to tell Qianmo the news.

Wei Feng wrote down the latest important information in the study, and not long after he put down the pen, he heard a knock on the door.

"My subordinates have something to ask to see the Lord." The voice of the dark guard rang out.

Wei Feng packed the letters on the bookcase before letting the secret guard in. "Come in."

"See the Lord."

"Get up, what is the matter with you?"

The dark guard took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Wei Feng. Then he said: "This is the information about the third prince Mo Qingyan and the eldest lady of General Pei's mansion that the Mo leader asked his subordinates to check before, because the Mo leader and the pavilion master are not there, so the subordinates want to hand over these materials to the master, so as not to delay the important matter." ”

Wei Feng took the envelope and started typing, reading the contents of the letter word for word. Then he packed the rice paper again, and handed the letter written by himself to the dark guard, and said, "You can send these two letters to Dongyue Yicheng as soon as possible and hand them over to Qianmo." If you can't contact Asami, give the letter to Zhixi first, and he will find a way to pass it on to Asamo. ”

The secret guard took the letter and said, "My subordinates understand, so let's do it." ”

After the secret guard left, Wei Feng glanced at the sword hanging on the wall and said, "It seems that before leaving, you need to go to the Western Tang Imperial Palace to find out the situation in person." ”

……

Tang Jingcheng, the eldest princess's mansion, the crown prince Mo Qingran came in a hurry.

"Auntie!"

Mo Wanfei glanced at the panicked Mo Qingran, and reproached: "What are you doing in a hurry, you don't look like a prince at all." ”

Mo Qingran didn't listen to Mo Wanfei's words, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with my father?" I haven't shown up for five days, and I only recruited Concubine Yu to serve. Just now, Qingyao and the left and right ministers broke into the harem with many ministers and asked to see their father. By the way, Uncle Chihuang also went. ”

"My aunt doesn't know what your father thinks, but she gave your uncle a holy decree to lead troops to guard the palace and not let anyone break in, even your aunt, I can't see your father." Mo Wanfei didn't care about Mo Qingran's words, they had military power in their hands, and they didn't dare to act rashly.

"Auntie, how long do you think it will take for my father to come out to see you?"

"It's hard to say this aunt."

……

The palace, outside the palace of the Western Tang Emperor, the big horse Qin Jian personally guarded the heavy troops outside, and the four princes Mo Qingyao and the left and right ministers led many ministers to confront it here, and the red prince also followed it.

"This prince wants to see his father." Mo Qingyao said to Qin Jian.

Qin Jian clasped his fists and saluted, and said with an embarrassed expression on his face: "Fourth prince, please go back, the emperor explained that except for Concubine Yu, he didn't see anyone." Qin Jian saw the figure of the Red Prince in the crowd, but he didn't expect him to come too.

"This prince doesn't believe it. My father has not been to the court for five days, and I haven't seen anyone except Concubine Yu, and my father has always been diligent in government and loves the people, which is not like my father's style at all. ”

The ministers reconsidered.

When Qin Jian heard this, he asked rhetorically: "Is the fourth prince suspected of lying?" ”

"Father's move is really abnormal, and no one has seen his father's holy decree except for the big horse, which inevitably makes everyone suspicious." Mo Qingyao was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not answer Qin Jian's question positively.

"So, the fourth prince is still suspicious?" Qin Jian continued to ask.

Mo Qingyao said: "If you want to be convincing, you need to come up with evidence." ”

"It seems that if the minister does not come up with the holy decree today, you will not leave?" Hearing this, Qin Jian asked loudly to everyone.

"The emperor's move is really abnormal, we are also worried about the emperor's safety when we gather here, if the big horse can come up with a holy decree, it will be easy to convince the public." Shen Ji, the left minister, stepped forward and said. The emperor has never behaved like this in the decades since he ascended the throne, which has to be worrying. Moreover, half a month ago, the emperor issued an order to recall the three princes, and the emperor did not show up again within ten days, such a sensitive moment, it is difficult for people not to think about it. Besides, the eldest princess's faction has always opposed the summoning of the three princes back to the dynasty, and now it is the big horse guarding the outside of the palace, which is really strange.

"That's what you all think?" Qin Jian asked.

All the officials said in unison: "Please show the holy decree to the big horse." ”

Qin Jian had long expected this situation, he looked at Mo Wanchi who was silent on the side without hurrying, and said, "Lord Chi is also here to see the holy decree with his own eyes?" ”

Mo Wanchi did not answer Qin Jian's question directly, but said: "This king has not seen the imperial brother for many days, and he is very worried, so he came to take a look." ”

Hum. Qin Jian said in a loud voice: "Since this is the case, this concubine can only ask for a holy decree." "After that, he took out a bright yellow holy decree from his bosom and held it in his hand." You have a good look, the Holy Purpose is here, do you still have questions? ”

When they saw this, they knelt down and saluted.

Mo Qingyao had long thought that the other party would be prepared for this, but it was easy to imitate a piece of cloth, but it was difficult to imitate his father's handwriting. Mo Qingyao gave the right side Yan Jing a look.

Yan Jingchang comprehended and said to Qin Jian: "I wonder if the big horse can give us the holy decree?" ”

"This ......" Qin Jian said with a sad face.

Seeing this, Shen Ji, the left minister, also echoed the request of the right minister Yan Jingchang, and said, "I also ask the big horse to agree to the ministers' request." ”

When the ministers heard this, they echoed it, because they all had the same doubts in their hearts. "Please, big colt."

"Are you all suspecting that this pony has forged a holy decree?" Seeing this, Qin Jian said angrily.

"Please agree!" Again, the crowd spoke in unison.

Mo Wanchi also took the opportunity to suggest: "This king believes that real gold is not afraid of fire refining, and there is nothing to hide. lest Qin Jian tell you the truth. ”

Mo Wanchi was obviously worried about himself, but in fact he also wanted to check the authenticity of the holy decree, Qin Jian was sarcastic in his heart, since this is the case, it will be as you wish. Qin Jian handed the holy decree to the left and right prime ministers, and said, "Then ask the two prime ministers to check it on everyone's behalf." ”

Yan Jingchang took the holy decree and opened it, and looked at it carefully with Shen Ji.

"How? Can the two prime ministers say that this is written by the emperor himself? Seeing that the two of them were looking seriously, Qin Jian asked out loud.

Hearing each other's words, they handed over the holy decree to Mo Wanchi and Mo Qingyao for inspection. In the end, the four of them came to the conclusion that it was indeed the handwriting of the Western Tang Emperor.

Yan Jingchang returned the holy decree to Qin Jian and said to everyone: "This is indeed the emperor's handwriting. ”

"In that case, you can go back with confidence, right?" Qin Jian took the holy decree and put it away, and then said to everyone.

"Although this is the emperor's own handwriting, but the emperor has not been in court for many days, this is not what the king of a country should do! The ministers prayed to the emperor to go to the court as soon as possible. The crowd spoke again.

All the ministers spoke in unison and kept echoing: "The ministers pray that the emperor will go to the court as soon as possible." ”

The voices of the ministers rose higher and higher.

Qin Jian's eyes darkened when he heard this, this official really dared to say anything! Although he had a holy decree to keep people out of the temple, he could not prevent the people from playing here, otherwise it would be too much. So he just stayed in front and didn't let people pass, and he shouldn't have done anything else.

"The ministers pray that the emperor will go to the court as soon as possible."

……

Mo Wanchi and Mo Qingyao stood on one side and did not participate or stop it, although they all confirmed that the holy decree in Qin Jian's hand was indeed written by the Western Tang Emperor himself, but they always thought in their hearts that there must be a ghost in this matter, and they could not feel at ease until they saw the Western Tang Emperor with their own eyes. Therefore, the ministers' move is exactly what they are happy to see.
