Chapter 10: The Guardian Period of Mercy

As soon as this incident came out, as expected, Wei Shi was furious and ordered a strict investigation.

It is necessary to find out the remnants of those ancestral gods and the reason for this assassination.

This investigation, by the way, also found out that Qingzhou's disaster relief silver was embezzled by a large amount of ink.

Everything was expected by Wang Duobao.

Sooner or later, the matter will be exposed.

It's just that it was late at night when Wang Duobao and his entourage returned to Beijing, and Wei Shi was not in a hurry to summon Wang Duobao to ask about Qingzhou.

Instead, he summoned the three Cui Lao who he sent to secretly protect the road overnight.

The three of them are all Ouchi secret guards, directly subordinate to the guard, and they are the cronies of the cronies and the henchmen of the henchmen.

The words that came out of the mouths of these three cronies who were secretly watching were more thoughtful and credible than those that came from the mouths of Wang Duobao and Wei Jue.

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

In the imperial study, the lights were slightly dimmed, and the three of Cui Lao stood at the table and bowed respectfully.

"No courtesy."

Wei Shi replied lightly, raised his eyes and glanced at the three of them, then lowered his head, and asked without raising his head while continuing to raise his pen to approve the folds in his hand:

"This time, there are remnants of the Ancestral God Sect in rebellion, what do you and the other three think?"

Cui Lao, the leader of the three, arched his hand and said:

"According to the old minister, the ancestors of the Ancestral God Sect have not had any news about their ancestors for more than three thousand years, and the power of the sect has also been greatly lost, so even if there is chaos now, there is no need to worry."

"Just like this time, they came to intercept and kill the two little highnesses, and only dispatched more than a hundred people, the strongest is not the Tianzhu Realm, even if they take the self-detonation pill, they are all blocked by the guards, and they don't even need the three of us to make a move."

Wei Qi nodded and continued to ask:

"Is it a show that the enemy is only counting with a weak stone to ask for directions? What can you find next? ”

At this time, Cui Lao stabbed the young man who was called Xiaolu with his elbow and motioned for him to reply.

The youth will be willing, respectfully arched their hands:

"Your Majesty, one day after the interception, the leader of the Pillar Realm escaped, Cui Lao Ming followed him below, and there was nothing new to discover, he just killed a horse gun after hastily healing his wounds in a mountain field, and wanted to go to Qingbo City to assassinate the two little highnesses."

"Well, it's a good job, but it's a pity that their stronghold was not discovered, and this thief has become more and more cunning."

Wei Qi nodded and praised, and then Cui Lao informed Wei Qi of Wang Duobao's deeds of designing a battle of wits against the enemy first, and poisoning the thieves of the Heavenly Pillar Realm with the power of one person unscathed.

After hearing this, Wei put down the pen and the fold in his hand, and laughed heartily.

"Hahaha, wow wow! He is really the prince I value the most and is the smartest, and he is so witty and talented, he can be of great use in the future! ”

After that, he nodded at Cui Lao and the three of them and praised:

"You did a good job this time, and you didn't rush into action. It is to train him in this way, so that his potential and talent can be fully stimulated. If all the dangers and troubles are blocked for him, it will not be beautiful! ”

"You deserve a reward for your good work! Let's go to the Inner Secret tomorrow to receive the reward! ”

Everything was exactly as Cui Lao expected, and he had already learned how to figure out the holy will after serving him for a long time by his side.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The three of them bowed down in unison to thank them, and when they were about to retreat, they heard Wei Qi ask casually.

"This Qingzhou disaster relief trip has caused a lot of things in addition to the remnants of the Divine Sect, do you have any discoveries?"

Cui Lao immediately smiled when he heard this.

This is testing him!

"Your Majesty, the two little highnesses are either accompanied by local officials in the city, or there are nearly a thousand guards outside, and their every move is in full view, so it is naturally impossible for the three of us to find anything else."

Cui Lao replied respectfully, disdainful of these little tricks in his heart.

There is a way to be a secret guard and a protector.

As someone who has been immersed in this way for a long time, of course he is familiar with the doorway here.

The duty of the so-called protectors is to protect the way, secretly guarding their safety, so that they can get experience and not have any worries about their lives.

As for the rest, of course, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't know what you shouldn't know.

A companion is like a companion tiger, if he doesn't understand these doorways, how can he Cui Lao stand in the position of a secret guard for so long.

To put it bluntly, the words "I don't know" are worthless and meaningless, but Wei Qi nodded with great satisfaction.

"Well, good, you guys go down."

Just as the three of them were about to retire, the young man, who had always been unwilling to be dissatisfied, finally stood up and bowed to Wei Qi and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister has made a discovery, Qingzhou disaster relief line, His Royal Highness Prince Jue and Song Xu, Zhou Tong and others along the way have a close relationship......

Cui Lao and the young man called Xiaolu on the side were shocked when they heard this, and their hearts were all shocked.

However, Xiaolu, who is still young, is more puzzled.

Cui Lao Fang clearly said that he didn't know, and now that he said this, wouldn't he refute Cui Lao's face again and join Cui Lao's book?

What good end can you do against your immediate boss?

Cui Lao wanted to see further, and immediately saw through what the young man was thinking, but he just silently closed his eyes and shook his head, revealing a helpless look.

He wanted to use the whereabouts and behavior of Prince Jue to make Wei Qi suspect Prince Jue, so as to invite merit and reward.

But this just offends the taboo of the secret guards!

"Rotten wood can't be carved!"

Cui Lao had no choice but to sigh silently in his heart.

Before the young man could finish speaking, his voice stopped abruptly.

Although he bowed down and did not look at Wei Shi, he felt Wei Shi's gaze on him, and a majestic coercion.

He didn't dare to go any further.

After the scene in the imperial study was silent for a while, Wei Qi slowly spoke, and said in a deep voice:

"You're spying on my prince?"

What followed was an even more majestic coercion that fell on the young man.

As soon as his legs weakened, he fell to his knees.

"Who gave you this daring to the sky!"

Wei Shi slammed the imperial pen in his hand in front of the young man, and shouted angrily.

Frightened, the young man trembled like chaff and kowtowed again and again:

"The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't dare! Your Majesty spares your life! ”

What if he is a great monk of the Hundred Bones Realm? Even if he is respected and courteous, he has a place in the rivers and lakes?

In front of the demigod of Wei Qi's strength, he is not even a fart.

The other party can kill him with one finger like crushing an ant.

The wrath of the demigods is so terrifying, how many people in the world can withstand such anger, and how many people dare to face this anger head-on.

Wei Qi was silent for a while, looking at the young man in front of him who kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, the anger in his heart gradually subsided, and gradually calmed down.

He took a royal pen from the pen stand on the side again, continued to bow his head and reply to the folds in front of him, and said coldly without looking at the young man:

"You are not suitable to be a big inner secret guard, tomorrow you will go to the Inner Secret Division to resign, and go to the frontier army to be a small general."

"Thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace!"

The young man was ecstatic and prostrated repeatedly.

From the original tomorrow's reward to the current tomorrow's resignation.

Not only did he lose such a fat difference as Ouchi's secret guard, but he also had to go to a place of pain like the frontier to be a young general who would almost never be able to get ahead.

Where is this kind of grace, it is clearly cut off his future.

But he couldn't control that, and it was already a great grace to be able to save a life now.

After the young man thanked him and retired, another young man called Xiaolu also retired, only Cui Lao stood upright in the imperial study and looked at Wei Qi, and did not retire and leave.

He's waiting.

When only Wei Shi and him were left in the imperial study, Wei Shi raised his head to look at him, and opened his mouth to call:

"Cui Wu."

"Your Majesty, the minister is here!"

Cui Wu is Cui Lao's real name.

"Oh, you still have the vision to know that I have something to tell you."

Wei Qi shook his head and smiled, and he also liked Cui Wu's old fritter very much.

There is no other reason, it is easy to use!

It's hard to find subordinates who can be so empathetic and think about their minds, and who know the rules and have high skills!

"The task assigned by His Majesty is a reward, if the old minister waits without a blind eye, and when His Majesty gives this reward to others tomorrow, the old minister must not die!"

Cui Wu also bowed back with a smile.

After the two teased each other, Wei Qi commanded:

"That person is not good at training, and he has been a secret guard in Ouchi for so long, and he knows a lot of things. Although I let him go to the frontier to be a young general and let him live, I can't be careless. ”

"Tomorrow you will go to a trustworthy man with a hard heart and keep an eye on him, if he has any nonsense in the frontier army...... Let him die on the battlefield. ”

Dying on the battlefield is a nice way to say and die.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to let people sneak attack and backstab him on the battlefield to kill him.

In the end, he can still get a reputation for sacrificing his life for the country, and his family can get a lot of pensions.

"I understand."

Cui Wu gave up his hand to receive the order, but he was a little surprised.

It's not that I'm surprised that Wei Qi is so cruel to a crony who has served him for so long.

He Cui Wu has seen a lot of this kind of thing.

The heart of the emperor!

He was surprised that he didn't know if Wei Qi was in a good mood when he heard about the deeds of Prince Jue today, and he was so merciful.

If you let go of the past, it would be compassionate to let that young man live.

The last solution is not to kill his family violently, but to let him die on the battlefield.

This is the first time in Cui Wu's eyes.
