Chapter 76: The Trap

The letter said that he wanted him to go to the old city god temple in the west of the city tonight. Although Situ Chi was not afraid, he valued his life very seriously, so he decided to go, but he still brought four guards and Wei Siming.

As the hour approached, Situ Chi came to the City God Temple located in the west of Dayan City, but found that it was empty.

This old city god temple has been abandoned for a long time, and no one has taken care of it, and it is because of this that person that he will be invited here, right?

After waiting for a long time, just when Situ Chi was already a little impatient, there was a sudden movement outside the temple. Situ Chi glanced at the others, and the others quickly hid, and Situ Chi also dodged and hid behind the Buddha statue.

A moment later, a man about forty years old dressed in a cyan regular dress walked in, and it looked like Wu Yong, the head of the household!

He was followed by four guards, and as soon as he entered, he searched around, and then said to the others, "Go and keep watch outside the door, and if anyone comes, notify me immediately." ”

"Yes!" the four guards bowed in response, then exited to close the door.

"Why are you? How did you come here?"

When King Cheng's Situ Chi saw Wu Yong, he was immediately stunned, and walked out from behind the Buddha statue and asked in surprise.

Wu Yong saw Situ Chi but was not surprised, stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "The subordinates participate in His Royal Highness Chengwang!"

"Wu Yong, let me ask you! Why are you here? Did you write that letter? And the clothes, did you send them?"

Situ Chi saw that Wu Yong had a faint bad premonition in his heart, and he didn't care about anything else, he stepped forward and grabbed his collar and asked.

"Letters, clothes?" Wu Yong replied blankly.

"Not you? Then why are you here? Damn! What the hell are you doing?"

Situ Chi's face changed slightly.

"Huh?"

Wu Yong was also stunned, why did King Cheng ask this? Didn't King Cheng send a message to ask him to come to see him? Why did he ask him now?

"Speak!" Situ Chi's face darkened a little.

"Minister...... Isn't His Royal Highness King Cheng asking his ministers to come here? and saying that he has an important task to explain?"

Wu Yong was also stunned. He received a message from Chengwangfu, so he came to the City God Temple!

Wu Yong, who was originally bent on attaching himself to Situ Chi, was a little flattered to receive Situ Chi's letter this morning! After all, these days, although he has been working under Baili Feng, he knows that his future master is not Baili Feng, but Situ Chi, the king of Cheng.

He had long wanted to meet King Cheng, and mentioned it to Bailifeng several times, but Bailifeng refused before the time came, so he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that Bailifeng didn't trust him.

He had been preparing since the afternoon, thinking that King Cheng must be preparing to be entrusted with a heavy task this time, but he didn't expect that this would be the case!

"Ruin! You have been tricked! This king has not sent you a letter!"

Situ Chi finally figured it out at this moment! Someone deliberately set a trap to lure him and Wu Yong here, and then come to catch turtles in an urn!

Not good!

Secretly screaming in his heart that something was not good, Situ Chi hurriedly said in a loud voice: "Wei Siming!"

Wei Siming and the other four guards immediately dodged out.

"It's not good to stay here, leave immediately!"

Before Situ Chi's words fell, there was a burst of fire and the chaotic sound of horses' hooves outside the temple.

"Get out of here! You're surrounded!"

The forbidden army defending the city surrounded the city god temple and shouted loudly.

"I can't go. Wei Siming looked at the firelight outside, roughly estimated, and said, "There are at least a hundred forbidden soldiers outside." ”

Wu Yong pierced the window paper and looked out, but saw a large number of Imperial Forest Army armed with torches outside the temple, led by Jiang Hong, the deputy commander of the Royal Forest Army.

And his four guards have been stabbed around their necks by the Royal Forest Army's knives, and they can't protect themselves.

Wu Yongnai is a civil official, where has he ever seen such a battle? Immediately, his face changed and he said, "This, what's going on?"

"Fool! You have fallen for someone else's trick! Don't you understand? The letter you received was not sent by this king at all!" Situ Chi glared at Wu Yong angrily.

"How is that possible? There is your private seal and your signature on the letter!"

Wu Yong's mind buzzed, and even King Cheng denied it, so that means he was really deceived?

He could see it clearly, the letter was clearly stamped with King Cheng's private seal, as well as the signature of King Cheng's Situ Chi!

He hadn't seen King Cheng's private seal, but King Cheng Situ Chi's handwriting had been shown to him, and he wouldn't admit it!

"You said that the letter has the king's private seal and signature?"

Situ Chi's face changed drastically, how could this be? His private seal was not seen by many people, most of the people he had seen were close to him, he couldn't think of anyone who would dare to pretend to be him!

There is also handwriting, although there are many talents in this world who are good at imitation, but imitating a person's handwriting is not something that can be completed overnight!

Who is behind this, and what is his purpose?

He turned to look at Wei Siming and said, "Wei Siming, is there any way to help this king get out of trouble?"

"What result does His Highness want?" Wei Siming raised his eyes to look at Situ Chi, still with an expressionless face.

"What more results can you want? I can't let the Royal Forest Army discover this king!" Situ Chi clenched his hands into fists.

It is on the cusp of the storm, if it is found that he has a private meeting with the household officials here, then the crime of forming a party for personal gain will not be able to escape!

"Your Highness wants to get out of the way, unless you kill everyone here, and then you change into other people's clothes, and your subordinates take you out, maybe there is hope!"

Wei Siming replied expressionlessly.

When Situ Chi heard this, he glanced at the four guards present and Wu Yong, whose face had changed greatly, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

He knew Wei Siming's ability, and it was not impossible to take him alone to break out of the encirclement, but the few remaining people here, as long as one of them remained, they would definitely be found out, and they would also be unclear when the time came.

However, if he didn't escape, what reason should he use to prevaricate the Imperial Guards?

Seeing Situ Chi's hesitation, Wu Yong was almost frightened! He rushed over and knelt down in front of Situ Chi and begged: "Your Highness spares your life! Your Majesty is dedicated to serving His Royal Highness King Cheng! I beg Your Highness to spare your minister's life for the sake of your minister's loyalty!"

"Get out of here!" Situ Chi kicked Wu Yong hard, if it weren't for him, would he be in this predicament now?

If he has a knife in his hand, he will immediately send him to the western heavens!

"Your Highness, Your Highness spares your life!" Wu Yong got up and kowtowed to beg for mercy regardless of it.

I don't know which pit dad has to send him a letter with two red ribbons tied to it, isn't he easy to believe?

I have long heard Lord Baili say that His Royal Highness King Cheng has always sent messages to him in this way, so he is not suspicious. didn't verify the private seal and handwriting in detail, so he ran recklessly!

How did he know that all this was a trap? At this time, he regretted it too much, and his heart was terrified, should he give his life here?

It is said that King Cheng is ruthless, and it is not possible to sacrifice them to protect himself!

"Wei Siming, think of another way!"

Situ Chi was so anxious that it was difficult to ensure that he would not expose his body when he rushed out, he couldn't take risks!

"It's gone. ”

Who knew that Wei Siming gave him such an answer without raising his eyelids.

"This king makes you think!" Situ Chi suddenly became angry, glaring at Wei Siming angrily, and that look was eager to devour Wei Siming alive!

It's a pity that Wei Siming was indifferent at all, and he was still expressionless on the face of One Thousand and One.

"The duty of the subordinates is only to protect the safety of His Highness, and the other subordinates can't help. ”

If he had a sword in his hand, he really wanted to poke Wei Siming into a transparent hole.

Damn! Now that his eyebrows are burning, he still dares to talk to him in such a tone! When he returns to the palace, he will definitely make him look good!

"Humph!"

Situ Chi snorted fiercely, turned around and began to figure out his own way. The noise outside is getting more and more noisy, and the Royal Foresters seem to be unable to hold back and are about to rush in!

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Situ Chi's mind, and a clever plan immediately took shape.

"Wu Yong, come here!" Situ Chi turned around and drank.

Wu Yong immediately rushed to Situ Chi.

"If you want the king to spare you, you can do it later...... Do you understand?"

Situ Chi grabbed Wu Yong's shirt and whispered a few words.

"Ahh......h

"What are you afraid of? With this king here, you will naturally be safe! As long as you help this king pass the test smoothly, this king will remember you!"

Situ Chi held Wu Yong tightly, his eyes like a torch.

"Yes, the subordinates obey!"

Wu Yong hesitated again and again, and finally nodded and agreed!

If you don't agree, die! Yes, maybe King Cheng can save his life if he is happy, it seems that there is only one way to go!

"Okay! Don't rub it off! Prepare immediately!" Situ Chi urged impatiently, then walked to the Buddha statue, and actually knelt down to worship the Buddha.

Seeing this, Wei Siming showed a rare hint of surprise on his face. What did Situ Chi want to do?

Wu Yong on the side didn't dare to delay, lifted the yellow curtain on the offering table, and got under the offering table in one fell swoop.

"Bang!"

Just as Wu Yong had just hidden his figure, the door was slammed open!

"Who is making trouble here? Catch it without tying your hands!" Jiang Hong rushed in with a group of forbidden soldiers, but saw King Cheng Situ kneeling on the futon, praying with a sincere face!

"Bold! Cheng Wang is here, who dares to be presumptuous!"

The four guards on the side hurriedly protected Situ Chi and shouted.

"Your Royal Highness King Cheng, why are you here?"

Jiang Hong was taken aback. He never thought that the person in the City God Temple in the middle of the night was actually King Situ Chi!

Situ Chi seemed to be completely unaffected by the outside world, and after praying, he respectfully bowed to the Buddha statue three times, and then got up and pretended to be surprised: "Deputy Commander Jiang, what are you doing?"

Jiang Hong hurriedly knelt down and bowed: "The subordinates meet His Royal Highness King Cheng!" The subordinates received a report that someone was deliberately destroying the old city god temple, thinking that there were evil people, so they came to take a look. I didn't expect it to be a king, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness if I am disturbed!"

"No courtesy!" Situ Chi pretended to be generous and stepped forward to help Jiang Hong and said: "It's the king's negligence!

Jiang Hong got up and asked a little suspiciously: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness King Cheng, why did he come to the City God Temple to worship the Buddha in the middle of the night?

Situ Chi hurriedly waved his hand kindly and said: "It's okay! Deputy Commander Jiang is in charge of public security in Kyoto, and it is natural to ask about this matter! Alas! It is not a secret, on the day of the hundred and seventh days of the princess, she dreamed of this king and asked this king to come to the old city god temple to repay her wish, and this king came at night to repay a last wish for the princess!"

In the end, Situ Chi pretended to be sad, and pretended to raise his hand to wipe away tears.

"I have long heard that His Royal Highness King Cheng and the princess and his wife have a deep relationship, and today I see that this is really the case! People cannot be resurrected after death, please don't be too sad with His Royal Highness King Cheng!"

Jiang Hong is also an upright person, and when he saw Situ Chi like this, he also sighed and comforted.

"Alas, this king also knows that he should not be obsessed with the love of his children, and he will lose his heroic shortness. The feeling of missing the princess can only be poured out to the gods and Buddhas!"

Situ Chi was in a state of resignation again.

Jiang Honggang was about to nod his head in agreement, when he suddenly remembered something.

"Wait!
