It was now the sixth day after leaving Wancheng, and the army had reached the vicinity of Jingxian. On the day he left, Yang Wei wrote a letter asking for guilt, and asked Dian Wei to send it to Luoyang with a team of 100 people. While the army was still on the march, Dian Wei escorted a carriage over. Before getting closer, the curtain of the car was lifted, and an acquaintance of Yang Wei jumped out of the car.

As soon as Zhang Rang got out of the car, he saluted Yang Wei with a smile, and said, "The miscellaneous family has seen Lord Yang!" This is very different from his usual style, when he used to do anything, Zhang Rang put on a high-minded posture, but Yang Wei was the only one who had another attitude.

This made Yang Wei wonder, how could this head of the Ten Standing Attendants, who covered the sky with only one hand and infinite scenery in the previous life, fall in love with him so much? After the two exchanged salutes, Zhang Rangshen said to Yang Wei mysteriously: "Lord Yang, I have offended, and I also ask Lord Yang to come over with my ear, and the emperor has a secret decree to ask Lord Yang." ”

Yang Wei was stunned for a moment, but still handed his ear to Zhang Rang's mouth. I only heard Zhang Rang say in a low voice: "The emperor's dictation, Yang Wei, is there a second person who knows about this matter?" Yang Wei is not a fool, he hurriedly shook his head, and said in his heart: "I'm not lying, this matter is not only known by the second person, but by four people." ”

Zhang Rang nodded with satisfaction, and reflexively took down a small box from the car, the box was tightly sealed, and the mouth of the box was sealed with fire paint. Zhang Rang handed the box to Yang Wei, and said in Yang Wei's ear: "The key to this box is in the hands of the commander, and the emperor has decreed that when the box is opened, the second person must not see it." ”

Yang Wei said respectfully: "The ministers are grateful." Then he whispered to Zhang Rang: "After the commander of the code presented the secret fold, how did the emperor feel?"

Zhang Rang said: "I have always paid close attention to Lord Yang's affairs, after the emperor read it, he was very angry, and he didn't even eat dinner, and when he handed over this box to me the next day, his face was already much better." ”

Yang Wei is now worried in his heart, and he doesn't know what punishment the emperor will give him. He had already thought that if the emperor wanted his life, he would lead the troops back to the state, support the army and respect himself, and be a carefree king of the state. He won't wait for death, Yang Wei is not so stupid and not so loyal.

The matter has been completed, looking at Yang Wei's uncertain face, Zhang Rang said tentatively: "Lord Yang, since the matter is over, the miscellaneous family will go back." ”

Yang Wei hurriedly pulled Zhang Rang's hand and said, "Father-in-law has worked too hard all the way, so it's better to rest for a while." The two silver tickets in his hand have already arrived in Zhang Rang's hands. Zhang Rang's hand shrank into his sleeve, and the silver ticket had been put away. Zhang Rang said: "To do things for the emperor, I don't dare to say bitterness." ”

Yang Wei hurriedly asked Dian Wei for the key, and instructed Dian Wei to send Zhang Rang back to Luoyang, fortunately, it was not far from Luoyang, and it wouldn't take long for Dian Wei to rush back. After Yang Wei and Zhang Rang said goodbye, Zhang Rang got into the carriage and traveled on the road.

Yang Wei rode on a horse, hesitating helplessly and helpless for a while, and gritting his teeth and being ruthless for a while. When the people saw him, they were far away from him, thinking that he had lost his mind. But they didn't know what Yang Wei was imagining what was in the box. This kind of torment before unraveling the mystery is the most uncomfortable, and Yang Wei is no exception.

It was still early before the sun set, Yang Wei ordered to set up camp, and everyone was puzzled, not knowing what illness Yang Wei had committed.

Yang Wei didn't care so much, the handsome tent was paid, cleaned up, and blasted the guards out, and strictly ordered no one to come close to the handsome tent within ten feet, turned around and got into the tent, put down the tent, and tidied it up, not even a trace of the gap before he was relieved.

Yang Wei put this small box on the table, looking at this small box and was stunned, he imagined many possibilities, the emperor wanted to kill him, because the emperor was very angry when he knew about it, the emperor asked if there was a second person who knew, there was also a possibility of wanting to extinguish the mouth, and the emperor didn't want to implicate too widely, because the rebellion was to destroy the nine clans.

If the emperor wants to kill him, he has to send someone over to lock him up directly, or it is impossible to kill him, because the risk is too great. Yang Wei's martial arts are strong, if the people sent are not opponents, then Yang Wei will definitely rebel, his subordinates have an army of 700,000, and then with Zhang Jiao's alliance, there is a state strategy, then the Great Yue Dynasty is a disaster.

The emperor can only kill him with a trick first, and then inform the world of his crimes after death. If you want to kill him, the first possibility is that there is a hidden weapon in the box, and as soon as the box is opened, a dense array of hidden weapons will fly out, making him an instant hedgehog.

The second possibility is poisoning, this poison is definitely not an ordinary poison, the emperor knows that he has martial arts, and it is not low. It is possible that the poison was released when the box was opened, or it was possible that the poison was clothed on an object, it was unlikely that the outside of the box would be outside, and it would be absolutely impossible for Zhang Rang to see him, and Zhang Rang would have been poisoned to death.

Yang Wei was ruthless, first spread his true qi all over his body, opened the padlock with the key, took a meat knife to cut the fire paint, jumped away in a flash, shook the knife in his hand, a silver light flashed, and the lid of the box was hit by the knife. Because of the force, the box was directly knocked over and buckled from the desk to the ground.

There was no hidden weapon shot out of the box, and Yang Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But he didn't dare to relax, he didn't dare to touch it with his hands, because there was no knife in hand, and he took out a pair of chopsticks, and with a force, turned the small box over, and the contents of the box had been buckled to the ground, only to see a letter and a scroll.

He still didn't dare to touch it with his hands, he had seen it in martial arts novels, and there were people hiding poison on letterheads. So, he picked up the letter paper with chopsticks, put it on the desk, and took the knife from the wooden box. Press the letter with chopsticks, carefully cut the seal with a knife, pick out the letter, open the letter with chopsticks and a knife, if there is poison hidden on the letter, then the most likely letter is a blank paper, because he can no longer see the letter.

When Yang Wei saw the words on the letter, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved. I saw that the letter read: "Yang Wei, you are so bold! Although there is a reason for the incident, you will not escape the death penalty." Let your head be kept with you for a few days, and when you exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves, it will be time for you to be exempted from your crimes. I wrote a secret decree, and when I explained it to others, I said that it was a secret decree I gave you before I left, and if a second person knows about it, you should simply apologize with death!"

This time, Yang Wei was completely relieved, if Emperor Wen knew that Yang Wei was so wary of him, I don't know if he would forgive him for being bold and assertive this time.

Yang Wei opened the scroll and saw that it was written: "The system said, this expedition is full of dangers, the task is heavy and the road is also difficult, before the battle, you can use the position of the marquis to inspire morale, admire this!"
