Thousands of miles away, Yuguo Feiyun Mountain, here is the place where the feather emperors of the past dynasties worship their ancestors. Since the new emperor Li Yulou ascended the throne, he spent several years building a palace on the flat part of the mountainside for the purpose of enjoying the garden and enjoying the coolness.

At this time, it has been more than a month since Ji Ye and his party set off.

In the courtyard at night, there should have been a patrol guard holding a little cage fire, but at this moment it was as dead and silent as an open space, outside the main hall of the courtyard, a low and old figure stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the plaque in front of the hall.

At the height of the courtyard wall, a man in black jumped in from outside, this person was tall and thin, wearing a hat and a black veil, and his figure was very similar to the person who taught the sword in the blacksmith shop in Yunzhou.

Look at him in three or two steps and run in front of the old man, tearing off the black veil to reveal a cold face, it is Wei Jing, who has not been seen for a long time. And the old man beside him is Li Shangyang, who Ji Ye misses.

Wei Jing bowed his head and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the letter lamp of the five corners has been extinguished, and it can be executed." ”

Li Shangyang's expression did not change, and he nodded lightly and said, "When the guards are changed in this garden, can you ask clearly?" ”

Wei Jing continued: "Back to Your Majesty, the spy has already found out the time, and the guards in the garden will change once a day. ”

Li Shangyang nodded slightly, "You go and bring Zhang Suo forward, and then solve those four people together with the spy." ”

Wei Jing was shocked when he heard this, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't do it!" These people are all Brother Yang's old subordinates, and each of them is a cronie who has been fighting with him for several years, and they will never leak the news. Besides, this time he borrowed a few people from the south, if he went back with a few corpses, how would he explain to Brother Yang? I hope you will think twice. ”

Li Shangyang looked at him flatly, Gujing Wubo's face was finally slightly angry, and he reprimanded: "What's the matter, you Wei Jing have also learned to disobey me?" I have carefully planned all these years, and you have participated in everything in your eyes, and the traces of the three of us must not be detected by them. Yang Ting is on the southern border, I abdicated the year of the official residence of the three-grade patrol officer, and now more than ten years have passed, under the hands of the Yulou man, not only Mingzhe to protect his life, but also promoted to a half-grade official position three years ago. Although the four of your brothers used to be of the same heart and mind, they have long been things and people, and now they are still around and can be called cronies, only you Wei Jing is the only one, you don't have to be confused. ”

Wei Jing lowered his head and didn't say a word.

Seeing that he was still hesitant, Li Shangyang was even more angry: "Do you want to wait for me to do it myself?" Wei Jing raised his head suddenly, his whole body trembled slightly, and he had already made a choice, and said word by word: "The last general Wei Jing will always listen to His Majesty's dispatch in this life, and I will go." Then he turned and disappeared into the night.

Not long ago, from the gate of the courtyard walked into a rickety old man, short in stature, and his bent waist was almost flat to the ground, which was even more sickly.

He stepped forward slowly, and asked in a voice like a duck, "This old man has taken me captive here, and I don't know what happened?" Li Shangyang turned around, and the old man was shocked when he saw him, and he took two steps in a row and said, "Your Majesty? Didn't you die many years ago?! ”

Li Shangyang looked at him and said, "Old man, your waist is getting tighter and tighter." ”

The old man did not come back to his senses, but muttered, "What my brother said is true, you have always been fine." ”

As soon as Li Shangyang heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and showed a hideous smile: "It seems that Yao Lao'er still knows a lot about everything in this world." The old man was stunned for a moment, but also realized that he had too much to say, and hurriedly said: "He has never told others about this, Your Majesty, please rest assured." Li Shangyang didn't seem to care, turned his head to look at the courtyard and said, "Recently, I received a secret report that an old friend of the old man was locked up in the wall of this courtyard. I want you to be proficient in Qimen and obscenity, so I brought you here. It turned out that the old man's name was Zhang Suo. I only heard him ask: "If you know where it is hidden, it is not difficult to crack some mechanisms, but I don't know where this imprisoned person is now?" ”

Li Shangyang turned around and paced towards the southeast corner of the courtyard wall, stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground: "It should be under the stone bricks in the right corner of this piece." Zhang Suo was puzzled and asked, "Could it be under this ground?" He stepped forward and stepped on each stone brick in turn, and soon stopped at the most corner, stretched out his hand and pressed it, and sure enough, several stone bricks in the most corner had slight signs of loosening.

Li Shangyang also stepped forward, although his face was still calm as usual, he could also see a little nervousness. Immediately after watching Zhang Suo grope out an iron slender clamp from his arms and insert it into the crack of the brick, he sighed and slowly lifted the stone brick weighing nearly 100 catties. Although it is old, the strength in his hands is still there. Moved the three stone bricks, revealing a small door half a foot square, opened and looked down, there was no bottom, but there was a trace of air surging.

Seeing this, Zhang Suo turned around and said to Li Shangyang: "Your Majesty, the passage below here is extremely narrow, and ordinary people will never be able to pass through, it seems that it is only a place to serve meals on weekdays. But fortunately, it also shows that this person is indeed here. Li Shangyang bowed his head slightly and said, "Can you find this place of detention before dawn?" Zhang Suo replied: "The contemptible person has been immersed in this way all his life, and at this age, he has never missed a beat, don't wait until dawn, half an hour is enough." Then he took out a palm-sized golden hammer from his bosom, hammered it through every stone brick in the courtyard in turn, and listened closely, which was consistent with his leaning body.

Wei Jing also rushed back from outside the courtyard at this time, but there was an extremely deep claw mark on his shoulder, which was almost exposed, and most of his black clothes were damaged, although his hands were washed dry, there were still a lot of blood stains on the hem of his wrists.

Li Shangyang glanced at him with low eyebrows and asked, "Have the four of them been resolved, but have they slipped through the net?" ”

Wei Jing replied truthfully: "I have killed all four people, and the corpses are thrown in the deep ravine of the back mountain, and they will be eaten by wild beasts before tonight." Li Shangyang's face was not as ugly as before, "Is there a big problem with your shoulder wound?" ”

"Your Majesty Xie cares, the four of them are standing very close, and I can only sneak attack from behind, after disposing of the two of them first, I was discovered by the person in front of me, and I was hit by a claw in a hurry, but fortunately it didn't hurt my muscles and bones, just some flesh and skin injuries."

Li Shangyang nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Your martial arts are no longer the same as they were back then, if you hadn't messed up your thoughts, you would never have suffered this." ”

Wei Jing realized that the other party was already dissatisfied, and he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "What the ministers have thought and said is really shallow, and they have not imagined the consequences, and they still hope that Your Majesty will atone for their sins." ”

He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him, only to hear Li Shangyang next to him approach him and say: "For so many years, you have seen the old man's actions and plans, and you are the only one of the close ministers and henchmen around you, you must know that other people are just tools to achieve great things." With that, he turned around and walked to Zhang Suo's side.

Wei Jing stood in place and thought for a long time.
