Chapter 26: The Devil Appears
West Mountain, is a branch of Taihang Mountain, since ancient times has the title of the head of Taihang Mountain, just like Tengjiao python, from the west far away to guard the Beijing Division. Therefore, the ancients called it "the right arm of Shenjing".
It was night, seven figures floated out of the Jingshi, fell into the West Mountain, shuttled through the woods, in the West Mountain in the middle of the night, frogs screamed and insects chirped, so it was not silent.
In the depths of the West Mountain, there is a small courtyard located here, from the color can be distinguished from the small courtyard here is not new, and the air is still filled with a little smell of paint. The whole courtyard is hidden in the dark, there is no smoke and fireworks, there is no sound, no candle is lit, the whole courtyard is like a beast that chooses people to devour, it is terrifying and terrifying.
In less than a moment, the seven figures fell in the shade of the tree in front of the small courtyard, and when they looked at it, they were the seven brothers of the Yan family.
"It's so quiet, is there really anyone here?" Yan Qi said suspiciously.
"According to reliable sources, this is indeed a secret stronghold of Wang Cheng. Yan Yi replied.
"Wait a minute, did you notice a special aura in the air? Yan San asked, and at the same time felt the breath again,
When several other people heard this, they also opened up their perceptions to feel the special aura.
"It's demonic energy, strange, how could a demon appear in such a place, could it be said that Wang Cheng's dead eunuch has an intersection with a demon?" Yan Yi said.
"Since he is a demon, then we will destroy him and help him on the right path. Yan Er said with a murderous face.
The other five people also pushed out their swords one after another, and turned their heads to look at Yan Yi, as long as Yan Yi gave an order, their swords would cut this small courtyard to pieces.
Yan Yi's face was uncertain, and it could be seen that he was hesitating at this time, and after a long time, he let out a deep breath of turbidity, "This matter is not trivial, don't startle the snake, it's better to report this matter to the prince first, and let him decide." ”
Hearing this, the other six people reined in the killing intent in their hearts, the three-foot Qingfeng returned to the sheath by half an inch, and the figure gradually became blurred, and finally disappeared into the night, and after a while, a black shadow appeared where the seven brothers of the Yan family were standing, looked around, and wondered, "Is it my delusion?"
The camera rotates, Yangzhou Governor's Mansion.
After the timely control of the injury by the Sword God and Tang Tang's careful conditioning, Hong Dingwu finally woke up the next morning, he leaned on the head of the bed, Lu Qiuyue sat on the edge of the bed, and gently spooned the freshly boiled meat porridge to his mouth.
Looking at Lu Qiuyue, who was full of peach blossoms, Lu's mother felt very happy, what is more joyful than her two baby daughters have found a good home, the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more pleasing it is, Hong Dingwu at this moment has become the existence of an era in the eyes of Lu's mother. But Lu Daonan's face was not very good-looking, the cabbage he had worked so hard to cultivate, it had only been a few days, and he was arched by a pig, although this pig was born extraordinary, it couldn't be so fast, although he tried his best to hide it, Hong Dingwu still felt a trace of unhappiness in his eyes.
"Weichen is incompetent and unable to identify the conspiracy of the traitor, which has put the second prince in danger, and asked the second prince to punish him. Lu Daonan bowed and said.
"Lord Commander doesn't have to blame himself so much, no one could have expected that these traitors would be so bold and reckless as to dare to assassinate me in the Captain's mansion. Hong Dingwu took a bite of the porridge handed over by Lu Qiuyue and said vaguely.
"After Wechen's investigation, these assassins are all from Jinling's largest gang, the Golden Snake Gang, which only began to be established in Jinling 7 years ago, but was able to clean up all the local snakes in Jinling City within a month, forming a situation where one is now dominant, and when Wechen wants to clean it up many times, he will encounter many obstructions, which shows that his background is simple. Lu Daonan continued.
"No matter how deep his background is, as long as he provokes this prince, he can't let it continue to survive, I don't know what else Lord Du Wei has investigated?" Hong Dingwu said.
"Weichen's ability is limited, so he can only investigate these, and hope that the second prince will forgive his sins. Lu Daonan said respectfully.
Hong Dingwu looked at Lu Daonan, and Lu Daonan also looked at him, and the two looked at each other for a long time.
"Hahahaha...... My dear father-in-law, do you think it is still possible for you to be celibate and not enter this whirlpool of power?" Hong Dingwu put his arms around Lu Qiuyue and said with a smile.
Hearing Hong Dingwu's cordial father-in-law, and then looking at his hand that fell on Lu Qiuyue's waist, the corners of Lu Daonan's mouth couldn't help twitching, if it weren't for Hong Dingwu being the prince, he would have already slapped his hands.
What's even worse is that Lu Qiuyue is with this kid, and his body will be marked with a royal mark, and being single outside the world has become a luxury.
"Alas, Weichen just wants to enjoy his old age in peace, but the second prince wants to deprive Weichen of this little wish. Lu Daonan said helplessly.
"Lord Duwei is in the prime of life, how to talk about pension, the eldest husband was born in troubled times, when he takes a three-foot sword to establish immortal achievements, he should establish his heart for heaven and earth, establish his life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations, Lu Daonan, you are so lazy as the governor of Yangzhou, how can you deal with the people in the world, and you are not an official for a traitor, Lu Daonan, do you want the people of the world to poke your backbone?" Hong Dingwu said angrily, hating it.
Hong Dingwu's words were like a slap in the face, which woke up Lu Daonan.
Over the years of his career, he has seen too many people who are not kind to officials, and he has also enthusiastically wanted to remove the residue for the society, but the officials and officials protect each other, every time it is in vain, and his efforts are exhausted, and then he can only rest assured of this original intention and no longer ask.
Today's Hong Dingwu's words made him wake up like a dream, the reason why heroes are called heroes is because they are doing things that others don't want to do, dare not do or can't do, if all difficulties can be solved simply and smoothly, then this world has always been prosperous, where is there so much folk suffering. He couldn't help but feel ashamed of his retreat. Besides, no matter how you say it now, you can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, although this identity will bring you a lot of trouble, but it can also bring you a lot of convenience.
"Thank you for the proverbs of the second prince, which made Weichen wake up like a dream. Lu Daonan knelt on the ground and said respectfully. His eyes looking at Hong Dingwu at this moment were full of respect, and there was no trace of gloom caused by the arching of his cabbage.
Hong Dingwu stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Father-in-law doesn't have to be like this, we can be regarded as a family from now on." The family doesn't talk to each other, so it's time for my father-in-law to tell me about the other information he has investigated. ”
"The order that Weichen received yesterday came from Jingshi, and after Weichen's investigation, Nie Leng was actually the staff of Wang Cheng, the head of the inner house, and Li Zhong, who attacked the second prince, was Wang Cheng's henchman, so Weichen felt that this matter was most likely planned by Wang Cheng. Lu Daonan stood up and said.
"Li Zhong and Wang Cheng will definitely screw off Wang Cheng's head with my own hands when I return to Beijing. As soon as Li Zhong was mentioned, Hong Dingwu was angry, and at the same time, his resentment against Wang Cheng reached the extreme.
