In the summer of the fourth year of Hanzhongping, late at night, in the Anyi Wei Mansion of Hedong County, Sili, the former Taiwei Wei of the Han Dynasty frowned, and was writing hard at the desk. The descendants of the great general Wei Qing, so Wen County Order, Pengcheng State Minister, and Yuzhou Assassin Shi are very dissatisfied with the current court eunuchs in power and foreign relatives interfering in politics, and are writing a letter to the current emperor, hoping that the emperor can remove the party shackles, clean up the eunuchs on his side, and return to the government.

This is not the first time that Wei Su has done this, when he was a lieutenant in the court, he was forced to resign and return to his hometown because of his criticism of eunuchs and relatives. In recent years, the government has been corrupted, and the Han River is declining, and a Yellow Turban Rebellion has greatly consumed the vitality of the Han Dynasty. This loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, who is worried about the country and the people, will write to the court almost every once in a while, and it is those few things over and over again. As a result, many people have been offended. This year is even worse, after the spring ploughing and summer harvest, he wrote to the imperial court twice, pointing out that Hedong County was full of poor harvests and disaster victims, and this naturally hoped that the imperial court would lift the party as soon as possible and let capable people preside over the internal and external affairs of the imperial court.

Although Wei Su has resigned and returned to his hometown, because the Wei family has always been a prominent family in the sea, coupled with the marriage with the Pei family of Wenxi in the same county, Wei Su himself married Pei Ye's sister, and his biological mother was the sister of the great Confucian Ma Rong. In addition, he was the matchmaker in Yuzhou, and the Wei family, the Pei family and the famous family of Yingchuan continued to marry. Therefore, Wei Su himself has a growing reputation in the government and the opposition. The boss made such frequent moves, and some people in Hanoi, Chenliu, Yingchuan, etc., who were naturally nearby, responded one after another, trying to form a group to put pressure on the emperor in the imperial court.

Wei Xuan, the second son who was standing on the side, looked at the swaying lights, and inadvertently saw his father's sideburns and gray hair, and felt a little unbearable, his father worked hard all his life, and there were many children in the family, although the three sisters were married, and the elder brother Wei Qian was also promoted to filial piety a few years ago and is now an official in the field, but there are still himself and his two younger brothers in the family who have not yet started a family, so his father is now close to the age of sixteen and has no leisure. It's just that he also knows his father's temper, and if this letter is not completed today, I am afraid that even if he sleeps, he will definitely not sleep well. He could only shake his head helplessly, and then reached out and flicked the wick of the oil lamp next to him upward, hoping that the optical fiber in the room would be brighter and reduce his father's fatigue.

Wei Xuan's small movements, Wei Su seemed to be aware of it, looked up at his second son, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then continued to bury his head in writing his official documents.

At this time, there were several dog barks outside the door, and then there was a muffled sound, which seemed to be the sound of a dog falling to the ground, and then one of the guards on the night patrol seemed to notice something strange and wanted to shout, but was strangled by a man in black from behind, only to see a flash of cold light, a sharp dagger quickly slashed through the guard's throat, and the man did not make a sound but fell into the arms of the assassin, and the assassin quickly dragged the body of the guard into the darkness. He then beckoned to the wall, and a large number of men in black, dressed like the Assassins who had entered earlier, climbed over the wall.

Wei Xuan, who was originally a little sleepy, also heard the abnormality outside, and the barking of dogs in the middle of the night was not serious, but the successive abnormal noises also alerted him, but before he could make any movements, the door of the study had been kicked open.

Wei Xuan saw a masked man in black rushing in with a sword in his hand, and the man's gaze only stayed on Wei Xuan for a moment before locking on Wei Su. Wei Xuan wanted to scold loudly, but then felt that the other party might be prepared, so he picked up Fang Yan on the desk and smashed it towards the visitor, while shouting: "My lord, retreat!" Wei Ming, Wei Ming, come and protect the adults! ”

However, whether Wei Xuan smashed people with Fang Yan or called for help, it seemed to have no effect, because there were usually at least two guards at the door who were ready to be sent at any time, but now that the man in black could rush in in stride, the guards at the door were estimated to be more than lucky. Wei Ming, the head of the guards in the mansion, was also nowhere to be found.

Wei Su, who was immersed in writing a letter, discovered the situation when the door was kicked open, and then heard Wei Xuan's loud call, raised his head, and found that a man in black had already raised his sword and quickly killed him. And his second son, Wei Xuan, stepped forward in front of the desk at the same time as the assassin made a move, and sneered...... Poof...... The sound of two swords piercing flesh and blood came in succession, which shocked Wei Su's heart, and he hurriedly jumped up from his seat to save people, and then looked at the opposite side, Wei Xuan grabbed the other party's sword with both hands, turned his head and said to him with a miserable smile: "My lord, go, go!" I dragged him down! ”

The assassin obviously didn't expect the young man beside Wei Su to be so fearless of death, and when he saw that Wei Su was about to leave from behind after a little hesitation, he hurriedly tried to pull back the sword, but he pulled Wei Xuan to him with a sword.

Although Wei Su couldn't bear it, seeing the murderous intent in the eyes of the man in black, he naturally did not continue to stay but quickly transferred to the back hall connected to the study.

Seeing this, the man in black hurriedly used his feet to pick up Wei Xuan, but he was kicked several times in a row, but Wei Xuan didn't let go. The man frowned, the sword in his hand danced, and he stabbed at Wei Xuanhou beside him again, poofing...... The sound of the sword piercing through the flesh sounded again, this time with more force than the previous two, and Wei Xuan didn't seem to hold back the pain in the end, letting go of his hands. The man in black then kicked him away again, and then sped in the direction Wei Su had left.

It was just that Wei Xuan was so delayed, and Wei Su, who was hiding in the back hall, suddenly had several more guards around him, and many guards nearby rushed to hear the news. The man in black was not ambiguous, brandishing his sword and rushing in the direction of Wei Su, and several guards desperately blocked in front of Wei Su, clanging, poof, poof...... The sound of weapons colliding and the sound of swords piercing flesh and blood were constantly heard, but the strength of the two sides seemed to be too different, and in a few breaths, the few guards who had finally gathered together were killed by the man in black. Lying staggered on the ground, I don't know if I live or die......

At the same time, the guards who came to reinforce from all over the Wei Mansion were stopped by the men in black who had long been stuck in their positions. Seeing such a situation, Wei Su's heart was cold, not only was he going to die here tonight, but he also gave his second son's life in vain. It would have been better to let the assassin have the result than to save himself from the second son and the other guards.

The man in black before saw that all the guards around Wei Su had been dealt with by himself, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of pride, and then he raised his sword and slashed towards Wei Su, who had no way out......

Bite! It was not the expected pop of the sword piercing through the flesh, but the sound of metal impacting, and when the man in black noticed that something was wrong, he found that there was a middle-aged masked man beside Wei Su, and he saw that he was holding a spear just to hold his sword. Obviously, he was too focused just now, but he didn't want to let this one get close. The sword of the man in black was ready to kill with one blow, so it was much more fierce than when he dealt with Wei Xuan in the inner hall before, but looking at the relaxed demeanor of the middle-aged man in front of him, he suddenly felt that the situation was not good!

So he quickly drew back his sword and then swung a few swords vigorously to try to pick off the middle-aged man's spear, and then looked for an opportunity, but soon he found that he couldn't help the other party, even if he was prepared and went all out! He quickly made a judgment, although the middle-aged man was masked, he remembered who it was, but he was curious about how the Wei family invited this person?

And those men in black who had intercepted the guards in the courtyard before also heard the clanging sound of metal colliding here, and their years of assassin life made them immediately understand what was going on here, and almost without the previous man in black greeting, four or five men in black immediately abandoned the guards and came in the direction where Wei Su was, wanting to win more.

However, the guards of the Wei Mansion were not ordinary people, and after a brief period of chaos, almost all of them rushed towards the location of Wei Su desperately.

So a scuffle unfolded around Wei Su, and the guards in black and the guards of the Wei Mansion were killed and wounded, but the men in black obviously came prepared, and everyone's skills were much stronger than ordinary guards, so although they were inferior in numbers, they still had a slight advantage in the situation.

But the battle around the core character Wei Su became more and more intense, the man in black and the five men in black who came to help were blocked by the middle-aged man with a spear, obviously they were unwilling, so they also began to be ruthless. But that man's marksmanship is wonderful, and his body is also wonderful, but he firmly protects Wei Su behind him during the fight.

This lasted for about a stick of incense, and Wei Su's third son, Wei Tong, who could smell the movement, led more than a dozen sturdy house slaves to arrive, and Wei Su's younger brother Wei Le also rushed to the scene with people, Wei Tong was young but extremely brave, and rushed all the way to his father to find that Wei Su was okay and was relieved, but after taking a look at the scene, he found that a middle-aged masked man was being besieged by four or five men in black and hurriedly went up to help.

The house slaves who followed Weitong were divided into two groups, four or five people stood around Weisu, and the others followed Weitong to help. For a while, the middle-aged man's situation here was pulled back by Weitong.

Wei Le led people to protect Wei Su to the death, and everyone looked around vigilantly with swords in hand. Obviously, he is continuing to wait for reinforcements, the Wei family is so big, such a big movement, and other places in the province will soon get the news and rush over.

The person brought by one of the middle-aged men seemed to be more combative than the ordinary guards of the Wei family. The situation on Wei Su's side stabilized after the group arrived at the scene.

Soon the black-clothed people began to have a large number of casualties, although they were sneak attacked, but the Wei family is indeed a big family, there are hundreds of slaves and handmaidens who live in the Wei Mansion on weekdays, and there are constantly people rushing over to support, and even some sturdy handmaidens also rushed over with wooden sticks, shovels and the like, although they are vulnerable in front of these black-clothed assassins, but they have saved time for Wei Su and others.

After another moment or so, a clever escort led the county soldiers north of the city to arrive, and although only a hundred people arrived first, there were people coming one after another. The men in black saw that they could not defend themselves, so they threw off their opponents and fled into the night.
