Chapter 2: The Feng family is in danger
Just when Fengxiao was about to rush to his mother's room, he happened to see his mother rushing out.
Before Feng Xiao could speak, his mother said, "Feng Xiao, you came just in time, come with me to the palace to find you Uncle Ye." ”
Feng Xiao saw her mother's eagerness, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart: "Mother, what happened?"
"Don't ask yet" The mother grabbed the wind and smiled, and walked out: "The sedan chair is ready, I'll tell you on the way." ”
Feng Xiao knows that her mother, born in the Qingchen Royal Court, belongs to the princess of the royal family, has been knowledgeable since she was a child, and abides by etiquette, Feng Xiao has never seen her mother so anxious.
On the way to the royal court, Feng Xiao followed her mother in the sedan chair, looked at her mother's face flushed from anxiety, and asked, "Mother, what happened?"
"Something happened to the Heavenly Demon Pass" Feng Xiao's mother only relieved herself a little at this time: "There is news that last night, your father and brother fornicated with the demon clan and deliberately let the demon army enter the pass. caused 100,000 demon troops to enter the pass, kill people when they saw them, and slaughtered 50,000 people of the Shenmu Royal Court. ”
Hearing his mother's words, Feng Xiao couldn't help frowning, this is not normal!
The Heavenly Demon Pass is indeed the junction of the Shenmu Royal Court and the Demon Clan outside the Guan, but since Feng Xiao was sensible, there has always been a small fight, and there has never been a major war. Moreover, in recent years, the Zhongzhou Holy Land has been working hard to establish friendly relations with the demons, and the results have been remarkable. Now when humans see the demons, they will no longer think that the demons are fierce and brutal villains as they did a long time ago. But why is there a 100,000 demon army, such a large-scale army, this time, to enter the Heavenly Demon Pass?
The most important thing is that Feng Xiao knows very well that his father and brother are different from himself, they are both upright and righteous people. They love the people, they love the hot land of the Shenmu Royal Court, and it is impossible for them to do anything to fornicate with the demon clan and lead the demon clan into the customs to slaughter the people.
Seeing that Fengxiao was lowering his head and didn't know what he was thinking, his mother still wanted to comfort him: "Don't worry, your father and brother won't do that kind of thing." We will go to the palace now, find you Uncle Ye, and ask him to investigate immediately and clear their innocence. ”
This Uncle Ye of Fengxiao is the current throne of the Shenmu Royal Court, Ye Bufan, and he is also the brother of Fengxiao's father, Feng Weihu, with a different surname. Since he was a child, Fengxiao has been very favored by him, and it is also because of his arrogance that Fengxiao can punish those gentlemen without fear of retaliation. This time, after he knew about the Heavenly Demon Pass, he would definitely help his father.
Soon, Feng Xiao followed his mother and came to the palace to meet the throne of the current Shenmu Royal Court, Ye Bufan.
And when they saw Ye Bufan, Ye Bufan was sitting on the top seat, and there were people standing around him at this time. It is the high-ranking officials and nobles in the royal court. There was also a man sitting on Ye Bufan's right hand, this person had a long face, triangular eyes, a hooked nose, a very tall body, but long hands and feet, and his limbs looked very thin.
Feng Xiao had seen that person a few times, and knew that his name was Bai Qiwen, who was the same name as his father, another great general of the Shenmu Royal Court. And Feng Xiao knew that because he used to kill civilians indiscriminately when he was fighting, he was taught a lesson by his father once, and since then, he has a grudge and always doesn't deal with his father. And his father always looked at Ye Bufan's face and didn't care about him. This time my father had an accident, and I don't know what bad intentions he has to have.
Feng Xiao's mother bowed lightly to Ye Bufan, who was on the throne: "Meet the throne, the courtiers and their sons will not come by themselves, and I hope that the throne will forgive their sins." ”
And Ye Bufan, who was in the main seat, saw Fengxiao's mother and son come in to pay a visit, and hurriedly raised his hand to support him, and said again and again: "Brother and sister don't need to be polite." I know you're here for my brother and nephew, and we're talking about it now. As he spoke, he hurriedly guided Fengxiao's mother to take a seat.
Waiting for her to sit down, he couldn't wait to say: "Throne, you and my husband have been brothers for decades, and you should be the one who is most familiar with him. He categorically would not do anything to fornicate with the demons and lead the demons into the customs to slaughter the people. Please ask the throne to investigate this matter thoroughly and clear their innocence!"
Hearing her words, Ye Bufan frowned, and his already rigid face became more serious: "Now, the best way is to find Brother Xian as soon as possible and let him explain clearly." I believe in him, he has been righteous all his life, and he will never do anything to fornicate with the demons. ”
At this time, the white general who was sitting next to him spoke, and his voice was sharp as if it was the sound of knives rubbing against knives: "Throne, you know people and faces, but you don't know your heart." Feng Weihu has been stationed in the Heavenly Demon Pass for more than 20 years, and he rarely comes back during this period. Who knows who he has met there and what he has done, maybe the benefits promised to him by the demon clan are big enough, and he can do anything!"
Hearing General Bai's words, many ministers at the scene showed surprised expressions, everyone actually knew that General Bai and General Feng had always been at odds, but they didn't expect that at this time, General Bai would sneer and say such things.
And Feng Xiao's mother trembled angrily, pointed at General Bai, and said angrily: "You... You, it's just a mouthful, you and my husband have always been at odds, you are a personal vendetta of the communiqué!"
General Bai still had a gloomy face, revealing a sinister smile: "As far as I know, this attack on the Heavenly Demon Pass, because it involves the battle between humans and demons, Zhongzhou Holy Land attaches great importance to it. An envoy will be sent tomorrow to investigate the matter. When the time comes, not only will Feng Weihu be unlucky, but everyone in your Mighty General's Mansion may be questioned!"
Looking at General Bai's current face, Feng Xiao rushed straight to his head with anger from his chest, he gently patted his mother, who was already trembling with anger, and then walked up to Ye Bufan and bowed: "Meet the throne, now my father and brother don't know whether they are alive or dead, and now I don't know where to go, should we find them first, and then talk about whether there is any fornication with the demon clan." Now that they were probably still fighting against the demons, how chilling it would be if they knew that there were still people in the royal court who were slandering them in private. ”
Hearing Feng Xiao's words, for a while, there was a lot of discussion among the ministers around. Yes, no matter what, we must first find the father and son of the mighty general.
At this time, General Bai seemed to have heard some joke, and laughed louder: "Throne, the last general is willing to lead 100,000 light cavalry to the Heavenly Demon Pass to exterminate the invading demon army." At the same time, the sin will be escorted back by Feng Weihu and his son. ”
Feng Xiao looked directly into General Bai's eyes, without any dodging, and said: "The mighty general has not been questioned yet, please pay attention to the words used by General Bai!"
General Bai smiled, his face showed a fierce light, looked at Feng Xiao directly, and said no more.
At this time, Feng Xiao felt that his Uncle Ye today was very different from usual, and there was no longer the feeling of pampering in his eyes. Moreover, when General Bai said such a communiqué of personal vendetta and slander, he did not stop drinking. You must know that his relationship with Weihu has always been very good, and it is impossible not to defend his brother. Could it be that he also thinks that his father will really fornicate with the demons?
Suddenly, Ye Bufan spoke, and his voice was thick and firm: "Two things! First, tomorrow at noon, everyone is going to hold a banquet to welcome the holy envoy sent by the Zhongzhou Holy Land, and they must satisfy the holy envoy." Second, after greeting the holy envoy, General Bai led 100,000 light cavalry to the Heavenly Demon Pass as soon as possible to bring back the mighty general's father and son! Now, if there is nothing else to do, let's all go, I want to be alone and quiet. ”
"Yes, yes"
As soon as the words fell, the ministers around them responded and left the scene one after another.
Feng Xiao glanced at Ye Bufan deeply, feeling more and more strange. But he still pulled his mother away.
One by one, the ministers left, and there were still a few left. Suddenly, Ye Bufan sighed and shouted, "Doctor Wei, you stay for a while." ”
Hearing the voice, Doctor Wei hurriedly turned around and said to Ye Bufan: "Yes, throne." As he spoke, he stood quietly aside, watching all the ministers walk away. He knew that Ye Bufan must have something to tell him if he left him.
Ye Bufan rubbed his forehead, sat down in his seat, and said, "I have already received the news, the holy envoy sent by the Zhongzhou Holy Land this time is the third son of the Holy Lord, the third holy son. I know that you went to the Zhongzhou Holy Land for a while a few years ago, and you have some friendship with the Three Holy Sons, so tomorrow the Three Holy Sons will come over, and you will receive and accompany you. ”
Hearing Ye Bufan's words, Doctor Wei hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, I will do my best to receive the Three Holy Sons with such a heavy task." ”
Ye Bufan gently picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and stood up: "There is one more thing..."
Dr. Wei still stood respectfully, ready to listen to the next command.
Ye Bufan turned his back, turned his back to Doctor Wei, looked at the huge relief carved with dragons and phoenixes behind his main seat, and said: "Find a way, borrow the hand of the third holy son, and kill Feng Xiao!"
