Chapter 53: Demotion (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
The anxious Xuanmei paced in the main hall, thinking that this group of treasure-offering "assassins" was actually introduced by Prime Minister Dong Mian, he was very annoyed, walked to the table, and wrote wildly.
"Smack!"
Xuanmei slammed the pen on the table and shouted, "Huairen?"
Behind him, a handsome man in white with four long swords hanging from his waist walked out, it was the commander-in-chief of the military department, Huairen, who bowed down and smiled: "My subordinates are here." ”
Xuan Mei pointed to the freshly written paper on the table and said, "You sent Dong Yibu to read my will, and you will accompany you." Give me a good observation, and if Dong Yibu shows the slightest compassion, he will inform me. Then gather your elite subordinates and protect the palace. Those Assassins may come back. ”
Huairen didn't understand the intention of the king's words, walked to the table, glanced at the contents, immediately put away his smile, and said, "Your Majesty, this ......"
He knelt down and said solemnly: "Please think twice, Your Majesty......"
The content of Xuanmei's handwritten letter is to demote Dong Mian, the prime minister of the dynasty, to the city official of Chaoxian City. Looking at Dong Mian, who was at a higher level than himself, and suddenly downgraded eighteen levels, Huairen also felt that it was inappropriate and pleaded for Dong Mian.
"Hmph!" Xuan Mei said angrily, "There is no room for anything, I have done my best." I didn't take his old life anymore. ”
Since the master was in a bad mood now, Huairen didn't dare to say anything, so he accepted the decree and retreated.
In the Miaoyin Palace, driven by curiosity, Xia Xinna thought about the little bamboo knot, and she said to the black-veiled maid who was waiting closely: "Xiuhua, I'm tired and want to rest early, you close the door." ”
"Yes, princess. Xiuhua smiled and nodded, bent down, and gently closed the door.
There was only herself in the room, and Xia Xinna stretched out her fingers to pick it, because the edge of the wet paper just now had been broken and couldn't get out. She found the embroidery needle again, and it took a long time to dig out the small roll of paper inside.
It's really interesting, Shacina looked at the little roll of paper with surprise and delight, who left it behind?
She carefully opened the roll of paper, and there were a few lines densely written inside. In the dim light, the princess's originally happy expression gradually turned sad.
From between these words, she knew that her younger brother Xin Yan had been drifting on the other side of the sea since he was a child, and Xuan Mei was doing deception behind his back. Xin Yan returned to the country of Gara and decided to take revenge. The letter also wrote that Xin Yan had come to the palace and asked her sister to gather reliable and credible people, make internal and external efforts, and let Xuan Mei step down together.
Shasina read the letter and fell into deep thought.
In her cognition, there is another younger brother and one more Xia Xinyan. And the earlier "Xia Xinyan", she saw the only side five years ago. When she told the "younger brother" the news of her parents' death, the "younger brother" was numb and just bowed his head and swept the floor. She remembered that face that didn't look like a family member at all.
Now all doubts are solved.
"......"
Shacina placed the letter under the candle flame and burned it to ashes with a subtle sound.
The contents of the letter can no longer be known to outsiders.
Looking at the candlelight, the princess remembered the strange man in the bathhouse, and then contacted Xin Yan who said in the letter was already in the palace, and it could be confirmed that the black man was her younger brother.
The younger brother gave him the letter, but he ordered him to be arrested.
Xia Xinna was remorseful, and she didn't know what Xin Yan had suffered at this moment.
She immediately got up from the table, opened the door, and rushed out of the palace, but was stopped by a pair of doormen with their outstretched hands.
One of them said sincerely: "Princess, in this special period, at the behest of the king, you are not allowed to leave the palace. ”
Shacina was anxious and said loudly, "I'm going out!"
This sound alarmed the nearby maid Xiuhua and walked to the door.
Another doorman said, "I'm sorry, but we did what the king commanded. ”
No matter how hard Xia Xina is, she can't break through the two strong doormen, and she is aggrieved.
Xiuhua saw that the master was resentful, and stalemate was not a solution, so she stepped forward and persuaded: "Let's go, princess." She brought the disgruntled Shacina back to her room.
"Boom, boom, boom. ”
When the moon was in the sky, a tall horse stopped in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The guard was napping, heard the sound, looked up, and showed a nervous smile: "Young master, you're back." ”
Sitting on the horse was none other than Dong Yibu, deputy commander-in-chief of the military department. The guard noticed that there was another white horse behind the young master, and sitting on it was the smiling Huairen.
This is a rare Marshal Huairen, and the guard couldn't help but "chuckle" in his heart, and hurriedly opened the door of the mansion and let the two of them in.
Dong Yibu stopped his horse, couldn't help frowning, and his heart was mixed.
Huairen saw Dong Yibu's fleeting little expression, and said tentatively, "Is it okay?"
Dong Yibu clenched his fists hard and said with a serious face: "Commander-in-chief, of course you can." ”
Seeing that the lieutenant general did not have any emotion, Huairen smiled and nodded. Dong Yibu then proclaimed the king's will in front of his father, without a hint of pity.
Dong Mian was shocked, and became a petty official in a city from one person.
Dong Yibu personally took off the large gold medal plaque of his "Prime Minister's Mansion" and replaced it with a small wooden plaque of "City Official Mansion".
"Dad, you are greedy for jewelry, this is self-inflicted. Dong Yibu left his words in front of Huairen, the commander-in-chief of the military department.
Seeing Dong Yibu's performance, Huairen stepped on his horse and set off, deciding not to make a report in front of the king.
On the way back to the palace, Huairen noticed that there were low thatched huts beside him, and said to Dong Yibu: "I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I have discovered this ...... It's pretty broken. ”
"This is Thatched House Street, the most difficult place to manage in the capital. Dong Yibu looked around, his eyes were full of nostalgia, he liked to stay here most when he was a child, learn martial arts with his grandfather, and play with gangsters.
The two of them deliberately walked slowly here.
It wasn't until he saw the two figures in the distance that Xu Wu flashed out from behind the big tree in the dark, he had been secretly observing for a long time, and there was finally no one on the street.
"Bang bang. ”
He twisted the corners of his clothes, and he was able to squeeze out a lot of water. He was very glad that he was immortal, and he was thrown into the sewage stream by the strange wind of Xuanmei, and he did not drown, but drank a lot of sewage.
Xu Wu put his palm in front of his mouth, sighed, the rebounding smell almost didn't faint him, and he couldn't help retching again, and his stomach was already empty.
He looked back at the trunk of the tree, and there were four portraits pasted on it, and he could only identify three men and one woman from the hairstyle, all with similar facial features.
It was the wanted warrants of Xu Wu, Xin Yan, Sun Wukong and Guan Rongfeng, which were posted everywhere in the city today.
Fortunately, it is not quite like it, Xu Wu didn't even have the urge to tear it, he walked on the street with his legs and feet, and whispered from time to time: "Kaisailu, Kaisailu, Kaisailu......"
"Squeak ......"
Suddenly, a thatched hut on the left opened the door, and a slight voice sounded: "Here it is, senior brother." ”
It was the grass house where Ao Wu opened the change, they agreed on the code in advance, and Xu Wu turned in.
