Chapter 42 Match

The generalissimo had a black horse under his crotch, and a short sword and a long knife at his waist came out of the east gate. Next to him was an old man with a wooden sword on his back and dressed in ordinary clothes.

Standing neatly on the towering city wall behind him were ten men in general armor, who could not see any expression, only heard a sound.

"Greetings to the Generalissimo. ”

Half-kneeling.

Xinghe didn't look back, but the dark horse under his crotch seemed to run faster.

After leaving the city for dozens of miles, Xinghe grabbed the reins, jumped off the horse, and faced Shenzhou City, his expression didn't know whether to laugh or be sad.

Duguzi, who was carrying a wooden sword, stood aside and asked, "You can rest assured that little girl?"

Xinghe turned his head and smiled: "She doesn't just have one brother for me, she has eleven brothers, and when I leave, she still has ten, all of them are relatives." ”

The corners of Duguzi's mouth hooked, compared to Xinghe, those ten elder brothers are the ones who should really make those people in the capital afraid. Pull out any one, it is a butcher-like existence, the knife in his hand has cut off many heads, and he carries these countless dead souls on his body, not just enemies...... What's more, they are loyal to the Generalissimo Kamigawa, not the Ninety-Five Supreme above the court.

"You're doing a good job of shaking off the shopkeeper, but some people have a headache. Duguzi teased with a smile.

Xinghe blinked and said, "Is there one?"

Duguzi shook his head and laughed, and said, "When you leave the city and leave home, where do you go?"

Xinghe snapped his fingers, rode on the black horse, and laughed: "There is an old man in Changbai Mountain. ”

"Changbai Mountain?"

Duguzi was stunned, and his expression was a little reluctant.

Xinghe was surprised: "What, you don't dare to go?"

Duguzi glanced sideways at Xinghe and snorted coldly: "If you don't dare, just go." ”

The two horses rode away.

——

In the Tai Academy, in a small courtyard on one side, an old man and a young man are playing, and the children are not fast or slow, and the two are on par with each other.

However, the old man fell with a white hand, slaughtered the long dragon, the dust settled, and the sunspot was defeated.

The old man picked up the teacup, took a sip and said, "You are too heavy to kill, and you are too anxious." ”

The young eyes watched the chess game closely, trying to find a glimmer of life in the dead chess. But after looking for a long time, I didn't find it, and said, "You are too gentle." ”

The old man shook his head slightly, and didn't say anything, but asked, "The regent is gone?"

The young man nodded, and while collecting the chess, he said: "Dad, he is not a courtier like you, are you so afraid of him?"

The old one is naturally the Shenzhou Prefecture Muwei Wenming, and the younger one is Wei Qingfeng, the son of Wei Wenming, who is rumored to be regarded as the successor by Wei Wuxian.

It is said that the name Wei Qingfeng also has some ties to Taoism, and it was given by a Taoist who passed by the door when he was born.

Wei Wenming put down the teacup, frowned and said angrily: "Yes, he is the emperor's courtier like us, but the courtiers he holds the sword, and the million Shenhe troops under his command are really the emperor's courtiers?"

Wei Qingfeng was stunned for a long time, and the hand that collected the chess put the white chess pieces into the basket of the black chess pieces without noticing.

Wei Wenming continued: "Qingfeng, there are some things that even the emperor is embarrassed about. ”

"The king wants his ministers to die, and if the ministers don't die, they are disloyal, what's the embarrassment?" Wei Qingfeng snorted coldly.

Since the first day that Wei Wenming came to Shenzhou City as the state pastor, Xinghe, as the supreme military commander of Shenzhou, has not shown up. He was even more drunk with those Shenhe soldiers in the barracks, could it be that the dignified state pastor was not as important as those soldiers? What made Wei Qingfeng even more angry was that the people of Shenzhou only knew the generalissimo of Shenhe, not the Shenzhou state pastor, and only regarded him as the dean of the Tai Academy.

Wei Wenming slowly opened his mouth and asked, "What if the minister is disloyal?"

Wei Qingfeng said: "Isn't that even more killing?"

Wei Wenming sighed secretly, his son is good at everything, but he doesn't understand the officialdom. That's right, there are more people in the DPRK who want Xinghe to die, but who dares to say it? There are also many people who scold Xinghe for being disloyal, but who dares to mention the word killing? Even if Xinghe dies because of loyalty, then who can afford this debt in the end? Is it true that the Shenhe Army, which is known as the first army in the world, is an empty reputation?

Now that the new emperor has just ascended the throne, God knows if he will move this generalissimo of Shenhe with a twitch of his brain? Can these Xinghe not know, that is, they know that he is going to leave Shenzhou, even if it really comes to that day, the first thing to receive the news is Shenzhou or the Shenhe Army, not Xinghe.

Those officials of all sizes in Shenzhou City are not like mirrors in their hearts, and they don't dare to show their faces when all the stars leave, so they simply don't go out.

"Kill, do you remember Zhou Butong?" Wei Wenming said lightly, although his son is well-read in the world, he just doesn't know how to be an official.

"Zhou Xunfu, isn't he dead?" Wei Qingfeng wondered.

Wei Wenming said softly: "Yes, it's dead, all thirty-six members of the family died, and it caused a sensation in the court at that time, but in the end, it became a headless case." ”

Wei Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the night before Zhou Butong left Shenzhou, he had a long talk with his father in the middle of the night. However, when he left the next day, he was shot by random arrows just after leaving the realm of Shenzhou, and none of his followers survived, and then the mansion in the capital caught fire in the middle of the night, and the family was burned alive by the fire. As for whether he was really burned to death, or whether he was burned when he died, only those who investigated the case know.

What's even more shocking is that after the incident, the notice list of the palace was plastered with Zhou Butong's various crimes overnight, clearly recording what Zhou Butong did after he became an official.

And his father was still the governor of Shenzhou on the surface after the incident, but he was just an empty name with no power. Even in the end, it really fell to Tai Academy Qian as the dean, who dares to guarantee that this has nothing to do with Xinghe?

Seeing Wei Qingfeng's expression, Wei Wenming touched his beard, smiled with relief, and then said: "When Zhou Butong came to my mansion, he mentioned that he had a secret letter sent to the capital, but as far as I know, the body of the person who sent the secret letter was found in Xiaolin on the border of Shenzhou. ”

Wei Qingfeng's eyes swayed, his face was pale, and he lowered his head and hummed softly.

Wei Wenming glared at him, took out an envelope from his bosom and placed it on the chessboard.

Wei Qingfeng picked it up and looked at it, and asked in surprise: "Dad, you got it back." ”

Wei Wenming sneered and said, "The regent personally handed it to me." ”

Wei Qingfeng sighed, and his expression was even more frightened.

Wei Wenming sighed with emotion: "You and I should be glad that this letter was not delivered to the capital and there is a princess Tianbao in the academy. ”

Wei Qingfeng nodded, Princess Tianbao He knew, Xinghe's sister. Now studying in the inner courtyard, but the two siblings are very different. One is modest, gentle, and even the Titan butcher is very well-behaved in front of her. A killing, brutal.

Placing the envelope in the stove where the tea was boiled until it burned out, Wei Qingfeng suddenly felt more relaxed than ever.

The two fathers and sons began a new confrontation.
