Shangguan Xiu was escorted out of Yuwang's Mansion by the Praetorian Guards, and then escorted back to his home.

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu was brought back by a large group of Janissaries, Luo Ren and the others who were waiting at home rushed out of the house together, and everyone came to the courtyard, surrounded Shangguan Xiu, first looked at the Praetorian Guards standing outside the courtyard, and then asked nervously: "Brother Xiu, is this ...... What's going on?"

Shangguan Xiu sneered and asked, "Do you know what a defeat is?"

"Huh?" the crowd gasped, wondering why he would say that.

He smiled and pointed to his nose and said, "I'm a defeat now." As he spoke, he parted the crowd and went into his thatched hut.

Luo Ren and the others looked at each other, hurriedly followed, and asked in unison, "Brother Xiu, what's wrong?"

Shangguan Xiu looked around the house with four walls, and his heart was full of mixed feelings and emotions.

He has made so many efforts and spent so much scheming, the purpose is to get ahead in Shangjing, the Shangguan family fell here, and he wants the Shangguan family to stand up in Shangjing again.

As a result, Tang Ling's words made all the efforts he had made before go to waste. I thought that finding Tang Yu was to find an indestructible backer, but in fact, it was not the case at all, and the mountain of the second prince would also collapse.

Relying on everyone to run, relying on the mountains and mountains, now Shangguan Xiu has a deeper understanding of this sentence.

As long as you are still under the control of others, as long as you are still under one person, even if you are a prince, you will disappear overnight.

"Haha!" Shangguan Xiu stood in the middle of the room and suddenly laughed on his back.

"Xiu...... Brother Xiu ...... "Luo Ren and the others all looked at him worriedly.

Shangguan Xiu laughed for a while before putting away his laughter, looked around at everyone, and asked, "Do you think I'm crazy?"

"No, we ......"

"I'm not crazy! I just suddenly feel relaxed and suddenly I understand a lot of things. In the past, my thoughts were too naïve, I wanted to stay in Shangjing with all my might, dreaming of climbing to the sky in one step, but I was like duckweed on the water, I could only go with the flow, and if I took a slight wrong step, I would be crushed. ”

"You're all curious about what happened, aren't you? It's funny to say that someone from the Shangguan family actually fell twice in the same place. More than 100 years ago, my ancestor was dismissed and sent to Zhenjun in Shangjing, and more than 100 years later, his descendants were dismissed and sent to Zhenjun again, and history is often such a coincidence. ”

"Brother Xiu, you ......"

"I'm the one from Shangguan's family!" Shangguan Xiu walked to the bed, ripped off the sheet, and put his clothes on it, while telling everyone the general story of the incident.

When everyone heard this, they were shocked and shocked, and they couldn't imagine that so many things had happened in just one day.

After speaking, Shangguan Xiu's action of sorting out his clothes suddenly stopped, and he looked down at the clothes he had put on the sheets, and he suddenly lifted the sheets, and the clothes were scattered all over the ground.

He stood up and said quietly: "Shangjing, it's not the place where I should come, and I won't take anything with me here!"

"Brother Xiu!" Cao Lei took a step forward and said in a shocking voice: "No matter where you go to the ends of the earth, my old Cao will follow you!"

Shangguan Xiu was stunned for a moment, looked at Cao Lei and sneered, and said, "Da Lei, what are you doing with me? I am now being sent back to Zhenjun, do you know what kind of place Zhenjun is? Are you going to suffer with me?"

"Brother Xiu, we swore at the beginning, we share blessings and hardships, share life and death, never give up, whether you want to take me away or not, anyway, my Lao Cao is with Brother Dingxiu, where you go, I will go, the ends of the earth, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, I will follow you!"

Before Cao Lei's words fell, Luo Ren answered: "What's wrong with Zhenjun? There's nothing bad about staying in Shangjing and receiving the popularity of high-ranking officials and dignitaries, it's better to follow Brother Xiu to Zhenjun, as long as we brothers are together, nothing can be done to stop us!"

Yuan Mu laughed and said: "You two have finished what I want to say, I have nothing to say, where you go, I will follow you, be brothers, do not seek to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day, life goes one day, and it is worth it to be accompanied by so many brothers!"

Ding Leng scratched his hair and said seriously: "I also think it's better to go to Zhenjun than to be in Shangjing." Anyway, take me with you when you leave, then, we are still brothers, if you don't take me and run away secretly, I will chase you to the ends of the earth and settle accounts with you!"

Hearing their words, the smile on Shangguan Xiu's face stiffened, and he leaned against the wall and slowly slid to the ground, his eyes flushed, and tears came out of his eyes.

He didn't cry when he was dismissed by Tang Ling, and he didn't cry when he was sent back to Zhenjun, but now after listening to everyone's words, his tears couldn't be stopped at all.

For him, Shangjing really has nothing to remember, the only thing worth missing is the group of brothers he has befriended, for him, Shangjing has nothing worth taking away, except for these brothers.

When he was up, they were by his side, and when he was down now, none of them left him, this emotion made him heartwarming and unforgettable.

The first time they saw Shangguan Xiu crying, everyone's hearts were sour, and tears came out of their eyes.

"Brother Xiu......"

Shangguan Xiu wiped the tears on his face, he stood up, looked around at the people present, and said in a firm tone: "I can't take you away, follow me to Zhenjun, not only to endure hardships, but also to put your life in danger!"

"Brother Xiu, we're not afraid!"

"But I'm afraid! I can't let you follow me to take this risk!"

"Brother Xiu, if you say that, you won't treat our big guy as a brother! The head has fallen off, the mouth of the bowl has a big scar, and none of us are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Before everyone could speak, Jia Caixuan, who had been silent, suddenly walked out.

Seeing this, Cao Lei asked angrily, "Jia Banxian, where are you going......

Luo Ren waved his hand to Cao Lei, interrupted his questioning, and said, "Forget it, Jia Banxian is not from our Shura Hall in the first place, and there is no need for her to follow us to Zhenjun, not to mention that she is a woman, and it is inconvenient to follow us......"

Before he finished speaking, Jia Caixuan, who walked to the door of the room, turned around and said, "Go back and pack your things, since you have to leave, you can't leave empty-handed!"

"Jia Banxian, you ......"

"Who stipulates that you Shura Hall people have to follow Brother Xiu?" Jia Caixuan pursed his lips disapprovingly, glanced at everyone again, and walked out of the room.

Everyone present was stunned, no one expected that Jia Caixuan would be willing to follow them to the barren Zhenjun.

After a while, Luo Ren and the others finally came back to their senses, and they all said urgently: "Brother Xiu, let's go pack up our things and come back immediately!" After speaking, Luo Ren, Cao Lei, Yuan Mu, and Ding Leng walked out quickly.

Looking at their backs running out in a hurry, Shangguan Xiu clenched his fists and bit his lip tightly.

He really wanted to take this group of brothers with him, he really didn't want to be separated from this group of brothers, but he couldn't do it now, because it was too selfish for him to watch them go with him to death. Now he doesn't know if he will make it to Jeongjun alive.

He took out the silver ticket from his bosom, left not a single one, and laid it all on the table, then he took a deep breath, looked around, and after a moment, he strode out of the room.

Outside, he said to the Praetorian Guards guarding the gate of the courtyard: "I've packed up, let's go!

Seeing Shangguan Xiu coming out of the house empty-handed, more than a dozen Praetorian Guard warriors all looked surprised. One of them reminded: "Shangjing is thousands of miles away from Huya Pass, don't you bring some spare clothes?"

"I don't think it's going to be very useful!" Shangguan Xiu smiled and walked over.

The Praetorian Guard warriors looked at each other, they didn't understand what he meant, and listening to his tone, he didn't look like he was sent to Zhenjun, but it was more like going to the execution ground, but His Majesty didn't tell them to kill him!

People looked puzzled and followed Shangguan Xiu towards the gate of Xicheng.

Under the escort of a cadre of Praetorian Guards, Shangguan Xiu walked out of the West City Gate and then out of the outer city, and then the Praetorian Guards stopped one after another.

One of the soldiers arched his hand and said, "Lord Shangguan, I will escort you here, don't say goodbye, farewell!"

Although Shangguan Xiu was assigned to Zhenjun, Tang Ling also gave him the title of battalion captain, although this title was more humiliating to him, but it was still an official position after all.

According to the establishment of the wind army, 100 people are a team, 1,000 people are a battalion, and 10,000 people are a corps. The battalion lieutenant is the highest commander at the battalion level, and according to the rank, the difference is between the eighth rank and the seventh rank.

Shangguan Xiu smiled, arched his hand to the Praetorian Guard, and said, "It's fateful, we may see each other again!"

Hearing his words, all the Praetorian Guards laughed. If the person who was sent away by the Son of Heaven still wants to return to Shangjing, it is simply impossible.

The people didn't say anything more, but turned and walked towards the city.

Seeing a group of Praetorian Guards walking away, Shangguan Xiu raised his head and sighed faintly, in the next battle, I don't know if I will be dead or alive.

He was pondering, when he suddenly heard the rapid sound of breaking wind behind him, he turned his head and looked, it turned out that Luo Ren, Cao Lei, Yuan Mu, Ding Leng, and Jia Caixuan were chasing after him.

Shangguan Xiu couldn't help frowning.

"Brother Xiu, wait for us!"

Far away, Cao Lei's earth-shattering shouts came.

Shangguan Xiu had the urge to turn around and run, but he finally held back. When Luo Ren and the five people chased him closer, without waiting for Shangguan Xiu to speak, Luo Ren asked breathlessly, "Brother Xiu, why don't you wait for us to leave first?"

Ding Leng continued: "Brother Xiu doesn't want to leave us alone, right?"

"I can't go to Jeong-gun right now. ”

"Huh?"

"There's one unfinished business I have to do. Shangguan Xiu said quietly.

Cao Lei's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise and joy: "Is Brother Xiu going to kill back to the palace and cut off the head of that slut Tang Ling?"
