In the dead of night, in the palace of King Yi, in the study of Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, the lights were bright, and everyone was anxious.

Zhao Guicheng, the young heir of King Yi, frowned and paced around the study uneasily.

And Zheng Qingzhi and the others next to him were all looking at Zhao Guicheng, waiting for his reply.

"Is the official family really gone?"

Zhao Guicheng suddenly stopped and asked.

In fact, he has already asked this sentence three times.

After getting Yu Tianci's definite answer, Zhao Guicheng began to pace again, his brows still furrowed.

"Your Highness, Shi Xiang has a good relationship with me, so I asked me to persuade Your Highness. State affairs come first, why does Your Highness have to shirk? Does His Highness know that once Zhao Hong ascends the throne, can he spare His Highness? ”

Zhao Guicheng's teacher, Shi Miyuan's confidant, and Zheng Qingzhi, the scholar of Guozi, couldn't help but persuade hard.

"Your Highness, everything is ready, and I only owe you this shareholder wind. Don't miss your chance when it comes. Otherwise, you will regret it! ”

Shi Miyuan's staff Yu Tianci also persuaded on the side.

Tonight, the heir of King Yi is the protagonist, and nothing can be done without him.

Zhao Guicheng stopped, his face ugly.

"Zhao Hong is now the crown prince, and he has the protection of the emperor and grandson, and his reputation among the people is skyrocketing, how can I fight him?"

Zhao Guicheng is obviously lacking in confidence.

Moreover, if it fails, I am afraid that my head will be off my neck.

"Your Royal Highness, there are queens and historians in the palace, and the forbidden troops in the palace are all under the command of Xia Shuai, and the palace is like an iron bucket that has been sealed. Everything is under control. With so many people supporting His Highness, His Highness doesn't have to worry. ”

Yu Tianci persuaded softly, muttering secretly in his heart.

Don't refuse, just say it's difficult, it seems that this Zhao Guicheng is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

"No, no, Zhao Hong is the crown prince of the dynasty and should inherit the throne. If I do this, I will be unfaithful and unjust, and I will implicate many people. No way! ”

Sure enough, Zhao Guicheng began to prevaricate again, and his face turned red.

"Your Highness, if you can't decide, wait until you enter the palace to see the queen, meet Shi Xiang, and see the situation in the palace, and then your Highness will make a decision."

Yu Tianci and Zheng Qingzhi glanced at each other, and Zheng Qingzhi patiently comforted his students.

"Since the official family has passed away, has he left an edict for me to succeed to the throne?"

Zhao Guicheng's eyes flickered, and he suddenly mentioned the edict of succession.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. Everything is logical and in line with the rules of etiquette. There are not only edicts of succession from the official family, but also edicts from the deposed prince. Now you should rest assured. ”

Yu Tianci chuckled softly.

can think of the edict of succession, Zhao Guicheng is already tempted.

If what he expected, Cheng Mi had already entered the palace and prepared an edict.

"Gong Zheng, Mr. Yu, in case of failure, my mother and uncle's family in Shaoxing, they will not be implicated, right?"

Zhao Guicheng nodded, and another sentence came out.

"Your Highness is really filial. The old lady and the chief of the whole security are in Shaoxing, they don't know about it, and they will never be fine! ”

Zheng Qingzhi laughed softly.

What a smart kid!

Sure enough, as Shi Miyuan expected, this young Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, is also ambitious.

"Since my mother is fine, two gentlemen, I'll go to the palace and take a look."

Zhao Guicheng finally spoke, looking very helpless.

"Your Highness, please change your clothes."

Zheng Qingzhi and Yu Tianci are both relieved.

Now, it's up to Yang Guizhi. With her shrewdness, it was not difficult to make a choice.

"Da Lang, is the sedan chair ready?"

Zhao Guicheng went to change clothes, and Zheng Qingzhi's eyes turned to his son Zheng Shichang on the side.

"Daddy, everything is ready!"

Zheng Shichang said in a low voice, his face full of excitement and anticipation.

Once Zhao Guicheng ascends the throne, his father and son will be the ministers of the dragon, glorious and rich, and his wife and son, but they are all today.

Zheng Qingzhi and Yu Tianci smiled at each other, everything was silent.

Both of them are nearly half a hundred years old, and they are still eight or nine sesame petty officials. Life is short, and if you don't get up, I'm afraid you'll really be ruined for the rest of your life.

"Your Highness, the hour is not early, let's enter the palace."

Zhao Guicheng came out, and Zheng Qingzhi and the others saluted him.

When the sun rose, this young highness was the head of the Great Song Dynasty.

"In the middle of the night, what's the sound?"

Zheng Shichang walked out of the door, suddenly pricked up his ears and stopped.

"What else could it be, the sound of the wooden fish! In the middle of the night, the ghost cries and the wolf howls, what does it look like! ”

Zheng Qingzhi didn't speak, Zhao Guicheng's face sank, and he said it stupidly.

"Your Highness, be cautious!"

Zheng Qingzhi hurriedly persuaded him.

How to say, Princess Yi Yu is also Zhao Guicheng's heir, so she can't mess with the etiquette.

"Your Highness, when you ascend the throne, you don't have to come back here. Ouchi Palace, but it's much more comfortable than that. ”

Yu Tianci smiled slightly, but it was a different statement.

"Hurry up!"

Zhao Guicheng had a black face and got into the green sedan chair that had been prepared for a long time.

Yu Tianci secretly sighed and put his mind at ease.

Everything is going well, now it depends on the situation on Yang Guizhi's side.

Zhao Guicheng and his entourage left, and the Yiwang Mansion returned to a deathly silence, and even the sound of wooden fish disappeared.

In the Buddhist hall, Princess Yu sat on the futon, lonely, looking at the candle flame in front of the Buddha statue in a daze.

At the time of the fourth watch, next to the royal street, Nanwa Bridge, Washer.

There was a knock on the door, the lights on the second floor of Vasher came on, and the impatient voice of a man followed.

"What are you knocking in the middle of the night? Dead in your house? ”

"General Huang, our family is fine, no one died. It's Shi Xiang's military order that has arrived! ”

The voice of the person outside the door was clear, neither humble nor arrogant.

The window on the second floor opened, revealing Huang Yan's head. He glanced at the two figures below and smiled.

"Sorry, sorry! It turned out to be Shi Xiang's military order! Two and more! ”

Huang Yan went downstairs, put down the oil lamp, opened the door, and secretly scolded his mother in his heart, but his face was respectful.

"Two of you, sit in the room. What did Shi Xiang command? ”

In the middle of the night, what kind of bullshit military order is passed on at this time? Isn't that a toss for people?

"No need. Shi Xiangjun ordered you to leave the city as soon as the city gate was opened, and stationed outside the tide gate with the department, and waited for Shi Xiang's dispatch. ”

After one of them finished speaking, he handed the military order to Huang Yan.

Huang Yan took the military order, didn't look at it, and nodded again and again.

"The subordinate obeys! The subordinate obeys the order! ”

He looked at the two of them and wondered:

"Dare to ask the two of you, is there something going on in the palace?"

Huang Tong turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the two.

"General Huang, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. It's not too early, so please pack up and go out of town with us. ”

"Good, good! Wait a minute, the next official will change his clothes and go immediately! ”

Huang Yan scolded in his heart, turned around and touched the stairs to go upstairs.

The fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and the dog is so big!

In the room diagonally opposite Vasher, Gao Hu, Du San and the others looked out through the crack in the door, and they heard the conversation on the opposite side clearly.

"Gao Hu, what should I do? These dog thieves really seem to be going to transfer troops! ”

Du San said in a low voice, impatient.

If these guys were allowed to succeed and lead troops into the city, they would be derelict in their duties.

"It's too late! Dry! ”

Almost fleetingly, Gao Hu did not dare to delay and made a decision immediately.

"That's it!"

Gao Hu called the two of them and whispered a few words in their ears, and Du San and the two nodded again and again.

"Don't panic, do what you want!"

After Gao Hu finished speaking, he and Du Sanfanghai gently opened the door and went straight to Vashe.

At the gate of Vasher, the two people who were waiting saw a few figures coming, and they all arrived at the door of Vasher in an instant, and one of them asked vigilantly:

"Stop! Who are you? ”

"Two, is General Huang here? He owes me a gambling debt, and I'm looking for him. ”

After Fang Hai finished speaking, he walked quickly towards Vasheri.

"What? You can't ...... in."

The two subconsciously stepped forward to block, and Gao Hu and Du San behind rushed up, facing the two, one directly hugged the neck of one person, and the steel knife stabbed into the throat. One stabbed the other in the abdomen several times.

Before the two of them could say anything, they were stabbed with blood gushing like a spring, and they were helped into the house by Gao Hu and the others, and gently placed them in the dark, but the door was still open, not wanting Huang Yan to be too careful.

Fang Hai went up the stairs, walked more than halfway, and ran into Huang Yan who came down in a hurry.

"You...... How did you get up? ”

Huang Yan was shocked, the two of them were about to make a mistake, Fang Hai raised his left elbow against Huang Tong's chest, and stabbed his right hand violently, straight into Huang Cheng's heart.

The distance was too close, he was caught off guard, and when he came back and was hollowed out by wine, Huang Yan's chest hurt greatly, and his body leaned against the stairs, unable to speak.

Fang Gao took out the knife, and after a few consecutive blows, the knife saw blood, and Huang Yan was weak and collapsed on the stairs.

"Go with confidence! We are commanded to kill thieves! ”

Fang Hai whispered in Huang Yan's ear and went up the stairs with Gao Hu.

When they entered the room, Gao Hu shouted at the woman in the room who was trembling in surprise.

"The secret decree of the imperial court is to kill the thief. Don't bark! Otherwise, if I don't kill you, you won't live! ”

The bloody steel knife dangled in front of him, the masked man looked vicious, and the woman nodded again and again. Gao Hu stepped forward, tied the woman to a pillar, sturdy, gagged, and the two went downstairs.

The three of them closed the door, went out through the backyard over the wall, and sneaked back to their house.

"Gao Hu, if you want me to say, a fire is burned, and it will be a hundred."

Fang Hai washed his hands and face, changed into clothes, and was a little dissatisfied with Gao Hu's mother-in-law.

"Don't implicate the innocent, this is what the third brother confessed. Do you dare to make a mistake? ”

Gao Hu changed his clothes, his eyes widened, and then the lights went out.

"If the fire goes down, not to mention hurting the innocent, it will alarm Shi Miyuan, and it may make him take risks and ruin a big deal."

Du San thought more and thought well.

Since correcting and returning to evil, Zhang Sansan has issued orders and asked them not to do evil. Eat and drink without worrying, and naturally take care of it.

"So what now? Staying here all the time? Didn't do that, kill someone and stay where you are! ”

Fang Hai asked confusedly, a little scared in his heart.

That Huang Yan is a high-ranking official of the front division of the palace, Shi Miyuan's confidant, killing him is not ordinary.

"I'll have to wait until dawn."

Du San subconsciously said, looked at Gao Hu, and hesitated:

"Gao Hu, did the third brother say why he had to kill Huang Yan?"

What did Gao Hu say just now, what did he mean by "killing thieves by order"?

Huang Tong is Shi Miyuan's eagle dog, killing Huang Tong will alarm Shi Miyuan? Why did you kill Huang Yan?

His brother Du Er didn't say anything to him, which shows the mystery of this matter.

"The third brother didn't say it, but I can guess that it may have something to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Dynasty. Otherwise, the third brother would not be able to get the earth-shaking thunder. The third brother said, it is about the future of your brother and my brother's life, and I can only fight with my life. Think about it, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the Prince, who would fight with Shi Miyuan? ”

Gao Hu hesitated for a moment and said to the two who were shining in their eyes.

"The third brother won't harm us, we should believe him. Our group of brothers, all of whom are a cheap life, fight hard, maybe we can change a bright future! ”

Zhang Sanzui is very strict, these are all guesses he guesses. I believe that the result is not far from ten.

"Of course! We definitely believe in the third brother! ”

Du San and Fang Hai were both smiling, and the uneasiness and fear just now were gone.

Killing Huang Yan is only when he is the prince of the dynasty will have such a skill. The prince of the princely kingdom will definitely ascend the throne, follow the prince, what are they afraid of?

"You two go and report to the third brother and see what the third brother commands. Wait for the third brother to speak, or if I can't stay here anymore, I'll leave. ”

There is no way back. So far, only when the matter on Zhang San's side is over as soon as possible can he leave with peace of mind.
