At night, a team composed of more than a dozen ox carts and dozens of people came to the back gate of King Xian's mansion.

Their appearance immediately aroused the vigilance of the disciples guarding the door.

"Stop!" Before everyone could get closer, the disciple at the head suddenly shouted, "Who are you?"

Hearing this, a rickety man in the team waved his hand to stop the team from moving forward, and then took out a piece of paper in his arms, looked at it carefully in the hazy moonlight, and then sneered at the disciples of the Xianwang Mansion who came forward: "Dare to ask this uncle, this is the Xianwang Mansion?"

"Exactly. The disciple at the gate was stunned for a moment, raised his eyes to look at the convoy, and said suspiciously, "You are"

"We are a miscellaneous opera troupe from Junzhou, and we are called by a person called "As for this, the rickety man hurriedly picked up Shuhan and looked at it again, only then did he suddenly realize, "On the orders of a man named Liu Xunyi Uncle Liu, I made a special trip to your house to set up a stage to sing." ”

After that, the rickety man handed the letter to the disciple guarding the door, and said with a smile: "Uncle, please see, this is a document sent by Uncle Liu." ”

"Acrobatic troupe?"

The disciples who guarded the door were suspicious, but when they saw that the document clearly read, "Luoyang Xianwang's Mansion, Liu Xunyi sincerely invites the Junzhou Qingyue class to sing in the mansion on the eighth day of the lunar month, and reward 300 silver coins to increase the music." ”

"What's the matter?"

When the disciple at the gate looked through the paperwork, Lin Fangda's voice suddenly came from the back door.

"I've seen the master of the Lin Sect!" the disciple who guarded the door hurriedly bowed his hand, and at the same time presented the paperwork in his hand to Lin Fangda, explaining, "These people claim to be a miscellaneous opera troupe from Junzhou, and they say that Liu Zhifan invited them to sing in the mansion."

"I know that. Lin Fangda replied casually, "At the beginning of the month, Liu Zhifan came to us to discuss, and the mansion was full of friends during the eighth season, so how to make this gathering more lively. It was my idea to find an opera troupe to enter the house and sing on stage. ”

"I see!"

Hearing Lin Fangda's explanation, the disciples of the gatekeeper dispelled the doubts in their hearts.

As everyone knows, Liu Xunyi had already received Zhao Yuan's order, and tried his best to arrange for three hundred Golden Sword Captains to sneak into King Xian's Mansion, but he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. It happened that he discussed with Su Tang, Luo Qi, Lin Fangda and others on how to make the Laba assembly more lively, and Lin Fangda inadvertently proposed to find a miscellaneous opera troupe to enter the house.

Therefore, these people who appeared at the back door of King Xian's Mansion tonight were not Qingyue Ban at all, but people from Tianji Pavilion.

The rickety man at the head is one of the top ten young guards of Tianji Pavilion, Wei Liang.

"How many people are in your troupe?"

"Counting the guys who moved and unloaded the platform, there were sixty-one people in total. Wei Liang pointed behind him and said with a smile, "The car is loaded with objects arranged on the stage, hundreds of large and small, and there are no more people than they can do." ”

"What's the play?"

"Follow Uncle Liu's intentions and play the Yang general. Wei Liang replied like a stream, "Loyalty and righteousness are unparalleled, and the best is a high-class drama." ”

"Yang Jiajiang?" Lin Fangda was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slowly, "It's okay, it's better than those warblers and swallows, who love and love." ”

"Uncle said very much. ”

"By the way, why are you here tonight?"

"Set up the stage at least a day early, otherwise it's too late. Facing Lin Fangda's questioning, Wei Liang behaved very calmly, "If it is inconvenient to enter the mansion tonight, we can temporarily go to other places to settle down, but I am afraid that the store money will have to be calculated separately, after all, we eat horses and chew, and it costs a lot to toss a trip from Junzhou." Hehe, small business, making hard-earned money, I hope the uncle understands. Also, most of the objects on the car are bulky and unbearable, and we need to bother the uncle to keep them for us temporarily. ”

"That's it!" Lin Fangda walked back and forth in the convoy a few times like a leisurely stroll, lifted the cover on the car from time to time, and looked inside, but when he saw nothing suspicious, he nodded and agreed, "You can go in, but you must remember that after entering the mansion, everything will be arranged by Uncle Liu, and my hands and feet will be cleaned for me, and my eyes, ears, and mouth will all be reined in by Lao Tzu, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, don't ask what you shouldn't ask." If not, not only will you not get half of the reward, but you may even lose your life. ”

Facing Lin Fangda's threat, Wei Liang's face turned pale with fright, and he pretended to be frightened and said: "The Xianwang Mansion is famous all over the world, and even if the little ones eat the bear's heart and leopard gall, they don't dare to be presumptuous here." Uncle rest assured, after entering the house, we must behave in a proper manner, and we will never dare to do anything wrong. ”

"En!" Lin Fangda nodded with satisfaction, and then instructed the disciple guarding the door, "You lead them to the East Courtyard and let Liu Zhifan arrange it." ”

"Yes. ”

After saying that, Wei Liang made a series of gestures towards Lin Fangdalian, and then led the convoy, tremblingly followed behind the disciples guarding the door, and cautiously entered the Xianwang Mansion.

In the eastern courtyard, Liu Xunyi sat alone in front of the steps, looking at the stars and moon from afar, thoughtful, as if he was distracted, and he was completely unaware of the arrival of the disciples and Wei Liang.

"Meet the Liuzhi Fan!"

With a salute, Liu Xunyi woke up from his contemplation, raised his eyes to look at Wei Liang and the others, and was quietly shocked in his heart, and remained silent on the surface, and muttered: "You are"

"Junzhou's Qingyue class has arrived. The disciple of the gate replied, "The master of the forest sect ordered me to bring them here and hand them over to Liu Zhifan to arrange. ”

"Oh!" Liu Xunyi replied, "Just now I was thinking about when they would arrive in Luoyang City, but I didn't expect to be so chattering. ”

"I've seen Uncle Liu!" Wei Liang took advantage of the situation to bow his hand to Liu Xunyi, "How dare we delay the errand of the Xianwang Mansion? ”

It's getting late today, so it's better to rest first, and it's not too late to set up the stage tomorrow morning. ”

"Everything is arranged by Uncle Liu. ”

After that, Liu Xunyi sent the disciples back, and ordered Wei Liang and the others to settle in the wing room to rest, and sent someone to bring them food.

Because there were many people in King Xian's mansion, Liu Xunyi did not dare to recognize Wei Liang and the others, so as not to be noticed.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Liu Xunyi arranged the last group of people who went out to patrol, and then dragged his tired body back to his room full of tiredness.

"Just in the east hall to give orders, a hundred responses, Liu Zhifan is really majestic, no wonder he is reluctant to return to Lin'an, it turns out that he is already happy. Haha" In the corner of the room, a laugh full of banter suddenly sounded.

For the uninvited guests, Liu Xunyi didn't seem surprised, he still lit the candlestick without hurrying, poured tea and water in a leisurely manner, and said indifferently: "Brother Qin Hugh wants to talk nonsense, now there are many people in the court who criticize me, if you add your pleasure, I'm afraid I will die sooner or later." ”

"It's just a joke, Brother Liu, don't be surprised!" Qin Wei realized that Liu Xunyi seemed to be in a bad mood, so he hurriedly made amends, "Master Hou made a special trip to explain, everything will be subject to your arrangement after we enter the mansion." ”

"I only saw Wei Liang just now, but I didn't see you, where is Brother Qin hiding?"

"Wouldn't it be strange if there were two or three hundred people in a miscellaneous drama troupe?" Qin Wei pouted, "There are only sixty-one people who just appeared, and the rest are hidden in the car." My six brothers and I were crammed into a coffin, breathless, and almost suffocated to death. ”

"Where is Master Hou?"

"Hou Ye has been in and out of the mansion many times, it is too dazzling. Qin Wei prevaricated, "Therefore, he is lurking elsewhere and will appear when he makes his move tomorrow night." ”

"Elsewhere?" Liu Xunyi frowned and wondered, "Where?"

"I don't know. Qin Wei sneered, "Hou Ye Shenlong can't see the head but the tail, how can he tell us his whereabouts?"

Actually, Zhao Yuan was staying with Yun Chasing Yue at the moment. First, to prevent the clouds from chasing the moon without believing in their words and escaping from the battle. The two of them avoid the clouds chasing the moon from hiding evil intentions and destroying their plans.

As for what Qin Wei said, it was just a pretext.

"Brother Liu, seeing that you are frowning, Yin Tang is dark, and you seem to be preoccupied?" Qin Wei was worried that Liu Xunyi would ask about Zhao Yuan's whereabouts, so he hurriedly changed the topic, "Don't worry! After this incident, you will definitely rise to prominence and become famous!"

"Master Hou wants to kill Luo Tianjin, and then kill Ling Xiaoxiao, and finally I will replace him, and order the martial arts heroes to return to the unification. Liu Xunyi said bitterly, "This matter sounds easy, but how difficult is it to practice?"

"What are you afraid of?" Qin Wei asked, "Are you afraid that things will change, or are you afraid that you won't be able to command the heroes?"

"Brother Qin, I can't hide it, I always feel that this matter is going too smoothly, and even a little strange. Liu Xunyi hesitated again and again, and finally revealed the worries in his heart to Qin Weihe, "Luo Tianjin obviously already knew that I was the internal response of the imperial court, why didn't he kill me, but instead entrusted me with a heavy responsibility? Is it just because Xun Qin couldn't come up with conclusive evidence? Also, when I proposed to send the disciples of the palace to patrol all parts of the city, almost everyone in the palace objected, but Luo Tianjin agreed without hesitation, and tried his best to dispel public opinion, and the world was arbitrary, this section made me even more uneasy. There is a way on which the blessing and the misfortune lie, and the blessing of the misfortune lurks, and I feel faintly uneasy in my heart, as if everything is a trap set by Luo Tianjin, just waiting for us to fall into the net. ”

"Brother Liu, in your heart, Luo Tianjin has become an insurmountable mountain. Qin Wei said, "You are used to seeing how he plays with others, how he coaxes others, and how he calculates others. Therefore, he surrendered before he fought, convinced that he was no match for him, and thus regarded all his actions as well-designed traps. In fact, Luo Tianjin is also a human being, and it is a time when everyone has a hundred secrets. In my opinion, it is not Luo Tianjin who really disturbs you, but your inner demons. ”

"Brother Qin, I"

"I know you feel guilty about Luo Tianjin. He treats you well, and you can't bear to kill him, so you can always find all sorts of reasons to delay our plans. Qin Wei reminded, "But don't forget, Luo Tianjin is plotting to rebel, if we don't nip it in the bud, once it becomes bigger, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely suffer from the enemy, and the people of Dawn will be in deep trouble." Do you want to abandon the prince, the court, and the people because of your own selfishness?"

"Me"

"It's not a secret, the imperial court has already formulated a comprehensive plan, first to destroy Luo Tianjin, and then to destroy Jin Fuyu. Only by eliminating internal troubles can we resist external enemies. Qin Wei said in a series of words, not giving Liu Xunyi a chance to argue at all, "As for you and me, we are both pawns in this game of chess." We have no choice but to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions in order to get rid of our humble fate, and even to seal our wives and sons and show our ancestors and glory. Brother Liu, do you remember when we were children when we were hungry and cold? I must never go back to the past, and neither can you. Therefore, we must be ruthless, eradicate all those who stand in our way, and then step on their corpses to achieve great fame step by step. Only by achieving oneself can we be qualified to judge right and wrong, good and evil, right and wrong, and for now, we can only fight for life and death, success or failure, and day and night!"

"Brother Qin's words are deafening, and they really make me ashamed. ”

"Brother Liu doesn't have to sigh, Luo Tianjin will definitely die tomorrow, and you will definitely be able to replace him. Only in this way can the DPRK have a place for you and me to stand. If this does not come to pass, the Hou Ye will be deposed, and you and I will die without a place to be buried. ”
