Wei Yan was dormant in the forest, and he was ordered by Yunlan to observe in secret.

It wasn't too far from Kyoto, but it would take a while, so he was prepared, taking out a piece of jerky from his waist pocket and grinding it slowly with his teeth.

After noon, when it was close to evening, a team came from far and near, and Wei Yan suddenly cheered up.

The man at the head rode a tall horse, followed by a long procession, all of them were members of the Feng family who were going to exile, and the guards with weapons were scattered on both sides, and there were two or three behind them.

Suddenly, Wei Yan frowned, his whole body on guard, and he felt a murderous aura around him.

He already knew that there would be killers who would appear today and would deal with the Feng family, but he didn't know when these killers came, and did he discover his existence?

After waiting for a while, no one approached him, but Wei Yan still didn't dare to relax, he held a scimitar with a small arm length in his hand, protecting him in front of him, attacking and retreating.

The team got closer and closer, and when they came to the outside of the forest, it was darker.

Wei Yan watched the procession enter the forest in the hiding place he had chosen earlier, passing under his nose.

This is when the mutation took place.

From all directions in the forest, more than a dozen black-clothed people suddenly poured out, surrounding the team, and no one looked in the direction of Wei Yan.

But Wei Yan could be sure that the other party had already discovered his existence, which made him a little uncertain.

I don't know if these men in black plan to kill the Feng family and the guards and then deal with him?

Or did they just not take him seriously?

Even, they are in the same league as him.

Either way, Wei Yan can be clear that the Feng family will die today.

Seeing the presence of an assassin, the man on horseback immediately shouted, drew a long knife, and beckoned the rest of the guards to fight together.

However, the other party's target is only the Feng family, they have a clear purpose, they don't fight with the guards at all, and their moves are neat and ruthless, as long as they are approached, a Feng family will fall when they land.

In such a situation, the Feng family could not escape at all, they all had shackles on their hands and feet, and they were connected.

If you want to escape, unless you untie the shackles, it will only be convenient for these assassins in black.

After a while, the Feng family all fell, and the guards who were in charge of escorting were also injured a lot.

The Assassins came and went as fast as they could, and after making sure that all the Feng family members were dead, they did not fall in love with the battle and immediately retreated towards the forest.

In such a situation, it would be useless for the guards to catch up, not to mention that many people were injured.

"Chief, what now?" Covering their wounds, the guards approached the leader.

"What else can I do? I can only go back and ask His Majesty for guilt, or...... Hide these corpses, and let's take all the family members away as soon as possible, and live incognito from now on."

Escorting a sinner into exile is not a good task, and if it is done well, there is no reward, but if something happens, it is necessary to ask for the sin.

The guards knew very well that although His Majesty annoyed the Feng family and exiled the Feng family, Concubine Xian and Duan Wang were still there, and maybe one day, the Feng family would be able to make a comeback.

But now, everyone is dead, even if they won't be severely punished after they go back, I'm afraid that Concubine Xian and King Duan won't let them go.

But if you hide the body quietly, take the family away, and keep your name incognito from now on......

It's not an easy time.

"Boss, let's go back and ask for guilt, shall we? Even if Your Majesty condemns the crime, when it comes to the post-sealing ceremony, there will inevitably be an amnesty for the world, and we will be released at that time."

"As for Concubine Xian and King Duan, I don't think we need to worry too much, I heard that Concubine Xian Niangniang is still locked up in the palace now, where can she take care of us?"

"As for King Duan, he has a lot of messy things, let's take a gamble, it's better than hiding his head and shrinking his tail for the rest of his life."

"It's okay for us, but many brothers have children in their families, so we have to think about them." The tall, lanky guard saluted the leader, speaking his thoughts.

Wei Yan noticed that when he spoke, he unconsciously glanced in his direction at least three times.

His voice was not low, Wei Yan could hear it clearly, and he estimated that this thin and tall man was deliberately arranged.

Wei Yan thought carefully about everything that had just happened, and seemed to ...... After the Assassin's arrival, the rest of the guards resisted, with only him symbolically waving his weapon.

Even, there are two Feng family members who were killed by him!

Wei Yan pursed his lips and continued to hide.

"Boss, Gao Xing is right, instead of fleeing with his family, it is better to go back and ask for guilt, we are all injured one by one, and we have resisted desperately, but there are too many assassins, so they escaped." A guard chimed in.

"yes!"

"Boss, let's go back!" One after another, the guards spoke.

"Cheng, then listen to you, let's quickly clean up the corpse, and then go back to ask for guilt, big guy, pay attention, don't have a living mouth."

As Gao Xing spoke, their leader was thinking, and the rest of the guards agreed, and he made a decision.

When they discussed, they didn't carry anyone behind their backs, and it would be bad if there was still a living mouth and they knew their plans.

Everyone agreed, and each went to collect the corpses of the Feng family.

The Assassin who had just arrived was very neat, and the ones that fell to the ground did not leave any living holes.

After the consolidation, the group headed for Kyoto.

It was getting late, and even if they had rushed back to Kyoto, the gates would have already been closed.

Wei Yan estimated that when they returned to Kyoto, they would wait outside the city for the dawn to open.

It was still very cold, and he didn't plan to spend the night in the woods.

So, when the guards were far away, he came down and took a turn, making sure that nothing was left, and then he found a place to rest.

——

Above the court, Emperor Mingde was furious because of the assassination of all the Feng family.

The location of the accident is not far from Kyoto, so it can be seen that someone did it deliberately.

Emperor Mingde has already ordered to go down and let Yunlan go with the internal guards, and be sure to investigate well.

The courtiers stood on top of the court, and they didn't dare to come out one by one, and the number of times His Majesty was angry recently seemed to be increasing.

Finally, the monarch at the top seemed to calm down, and someone had the courage to come out of the queue and impeach the Li family again.

"This matter will be discussed later." Emperor Mingde waved his hand, still the same sentence.

When the Feng family was impeached before, he often said this, and it wasn't until a few days ago that he completely ordered and disposed of the Feng family.

Now it is the same, all the courtiers who have been on the stage to impeach the Li family have just waited patiently before the time comes.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play." Xu Wei, the head of the household department, came out of the queue and saluted Emperor Mingde, "The southern border pass of Qiannan is urgent, asking the imperial court to send more food, and I heard that the military department has also received a request for additional soldiers."

Emperor Mingde sat on the dragon chair and looked at the landing river.

Lu He came out of the queue, "Your Majesty, the military department did receive news early this morning, how to decide, please ask Your Majesty to order."
