The eldest grandson, Jinghong, fished for two days at the pier in Huaishan County.

Ate the fish for two days.

On the third day he didn't fish again, because it was raining, and because he was tired of eating.

This day is the ninth day of October in the twenty-third year of Zhaohua.

He had lunch at Xiangmanfang, gave a tael of silver, and took away the hat and coat that Mr. Ding had used, as well as a rusty knife.

He came to the dock again, and on a stone slab, he sharpened his sword for half an hour with the water of the river.

The knife has been sharpened.

The blade is also sharp again.

He carried the knife and stood on the only road outside Huaishan County.

The road leads to Tai'an Castle and also to Kyoto.

He stood for half a stick of incense and waited for the person he was waiting for.

Here came an army of 20,000 men in armor and with swords and guns in their hands!

One of the distinctive features of this army is that they have a bunch of red tassels tied to their helmets, hence the name of the Red Flame Army!

In this bleak autumn rain, the eldest grandson Jinghong stuck the knife in his hand in the middle of the road.

The Red Flame Army stopped.

Out of the army came a tall war horse, on which sat a burly man.

He hit his horse and came to the front of the eldest grandson, looked down condescendingly, and only opened his mouth after a while:

"I don't want to kill you!"

The eldest grandson Jinghong looked up at him, frowning slightly: "I thought it was Xia Yunhu, but I didn't expect it to be a general!" ”

"Are you waiting for Xia Yunhu?"

"Sort of."

"What are you waiting for him?"

"Ask him a word."

General Wu Mian didn't ask what it was, "Since you are waiting for the wrong person, then get out of the way!" ”

"I suddenly changed my mind again, and I wanted to ask the general a word."

"Ask."

"Whose minion is the General?!"

This question is heart-wrenching!

Because Wu Mian took 20,000 Red Flame Army, the direction he went to was Kyoto!

That would inevitably lead to the Kyoto Rebellion!

The Red Flame Army is a powerful army controlled by the Duke of Yan, and according to reason, it is also the emperor's army.

The emperor did not die, let alone be in danger, the Red Flame Army acted without authorization, and it should be a rebellion!

And Wu Mian used to be Lu Zhanxiao's subordinate on the car, and today he actually commands the Red Flame Army, does this mean that he has become a member of Yan Guogong?

Or, from beginning to end, he was originally Yan Guogong's person!

Wu Mian was silent for a long time, did not answer this question, but asked the eldest grandson Jinghong instead:

"Queen Lu's trust, you can't do it!"

"You have come to seek death now, you have gone to the Netherworld Mansion, and you have seen Queen Lu, how do you give her an explanation?!"

The eldest grandson's eyes froze, "The emperor's eldest son is fine!" ”

Wu Mian raised his eyebrows, "Where are the people?" Don't tell me he's Li Chen'an! ”

"What does the general mean that if the emperor's eldest son is here, you will stop there?"

Wu Mian was silent for another moment, and this time he didn't answer again.

"Remembering that you have been guarding that big-leaf banyan for twenty years, you get out of the way."

"What if the old man doesn't let me?"

“…… Then die! ”

"What method did Xi Wei use to control the emperor?"

Wu Mian didn't answer, he turned the horse's head.

"There are still 30,000 people in the Red Flame Army, where are they now?"

Wu Mian turned his head, his eyes were cold, but he looked in the direction of Kyoto.

"Finally, give you three breaths, if you don't get out of the way...... I will walk away on your corpse! ”

At this moment, an old voice sounded in this army:

"General, this is nostalgic?"

"When this man gets old, he always likes to miss the old."

"It's not a good thing to miss the old, the so-called old refers to the old feelings, old friends, and old things."

"These things from the past mean nothing to the old man...... After all, the old can be new only when the old is gone. ”

"Eldest grandson Jinghong, you are not a person who misses the old at all, you are delaying the general's time!"

"But it's not in a hurry, there is still some time, and the old man also wants to say a few words to you."

A horse-drawn carriage slowly pulled out of the procession.

The door of the carriage opened.

Inside, an old man with gray hair dressed in a black robe and wearing a black scarf came down.

The eldest grandson's eyes narrowed:

"Xi Wei?!"

The old man nodded:

"You've been looking for an old man for twenty years, and it turns out that your wisdom is still limited."

"Since you are no longer lying under that crooked neck tree, since you have come here alone......"

"Now, old man, guess what you're waiting for when you come to this place?"

"You're waiting for Qin Huaiyu!"

The eldest grandson was shocked in his heart, and then listened to Xi Wei and said:

"In the winter of the third year of Zhaohua, Qin Huaiyu and He Xishan acted in a play together, and they really deceived the old man, making the old man think that the two were at least seriously injured, so that the old man was careless for half an hour, and let the two of them take the emperor's eldest son away."

"But Qin Huaiyu shouldn't come back!"

"He shouldn't have made an appointment with you to meet in Huaishan County in the next twenty years!"

The eldest grandson Jinghong set off a monstrous wave in his heart, "How do you know about this agreement?" ”

Xi Wei smiled slightly: "In the world, there are very few things that the old man doesn't know!" ”

"In order to wait for your meeting this time, the old man specially trained 10,000 dead soldiers in Qishan, originally to deal with you and Qin Huaiyu and those little ghosts of your Imperial City Division, originally the old man thought that Qin Huaiyu would bring the eldest son of the emperor here and hand it over to you personally. But the old thing has also become cunning, and he actually came alone, just three days ago. ”

"He didn't meet you."

"He went to Changle Palace."

He actually wanted to ask the emperor...... simply didn't take the old man seriously, so the old man kept him. ”

The eldest grandson Jinghong suddenly smiled at this moment: "Over the years, Qin Huaiyu and Wu Xishan have not appeared, and you dare not show up!" ”

"You still haven't found the whereabouts of the emperor's eldest son after all, and you're already very old after all, so you still haste to do this matter today."

"There is no flawless plan in the world, and no one can truly be seamless!"

"You shouldn't have come, but the old man knew that you would definitely come!"

"Because you have worked so hard for so long, this is the most critical time, and what happens next is what you want to see most in your life."

"Just like a farmer, who works hard to sow seeds, weeds and fertilize, what he is waiting for is bound to be the harvest of autumn!"

"So I'm here, waiting for not only Qin Huaiyu, but also ...... You! ”

Xi Wei was not surprised, he even nodded:

"You're right, I should have waited another year and a half, but the old man is indeed very old, and I'm afraid that I will die of it."

"This good show has just begun, and the old man doesn't want to miss it, so he came out to take a look, but he didn't expect to meet you here."

The eldest grandson pouted,

"You are no longer the same as before, you made a mistake, you shouldn't have talked so much to the old man, now I know who you are!"

The black-robed old man raised his eyes, and there was a mocking look between his eyebrows, "Tell me who the old man is?" ”

The eldest grandson stared at the black-robed old man's eyes.

The autumn rain is drenched, and it is not possible to see clearly.

But two extremely affirmative words came out of his mouth:

"Shang Di!"
