On this trip to the national capital, in order to facilitate his actions, Chu Yun only went with Lao Chu, and did not bring many others.

From Chujiazhuang to the national capital, it is not too far, across half of Wuhe County, you can reach it.

Chu Yun's father and son worked non-stop, and it took half a day to finally arrive in the national capital in the afternoon.

The capital of Fengyun Kingdom, compared with Tianxiang City, is undoubtedly much more vast and prosperous, but it lacks some spirituality and elegance.

Chu Hongwang had already calculated, so he didn't delay for a moment and went straight to the mansion of that old friend.

The old friend he mentioned served as a counselor in the court, and he could see the emperor every morning. This person's surname is Wei, a single name is a business character, Wei Ye is quite honest as an official, and he had some communication with Chu Hongwang in his early years.

Chu Hongwang wants to see the emperor now, which is unrealistic, and it may arouse the vigilance of Prince Guang.

At present, the most reasonable way is naturally to use Wei Ye as a medium to see the emperor.

With the imperial palace as the core, the national capital is extremely prosperous and has a large flow of people. Many of the mansions of the great officials of the dynasty are also here.

Chu Hongwang followed the direction in his memory, and searched for two hours in the national capital before taking Chu Yun to stop at a simple mansion.

"This is Lord Wei's mansion, and compared to other officials, this place is a bit stumbling. Chu Hongwang smiled a little nostalgically.

Chu Yun looked at this mansion, which could only be regarded as a mansion, and couldn't help but have more respect for this Counselor who had never met before.

can become an old friend with Chu Hongwang, and the residence is not extravagant at all, at least on the surface, this person is a good official.

"Old Chu, since you have an old relationship with Master Wei, there shouldn't be any problem for you to visit him yourself, right?" Chu Yun said, "I'll just stay outside, if I also go in, I will inevitably have to be polite again, and it will be very troublesome." ”

"You kid, if you really don't like these rules, then you just wait outside, and I'll go inside to make a long story short. Chu Hongwang replied.

Then, Chu Yun took out the letter that Prince Guang wanted to hand over to Zhao Rui from his arms.

"The letter ......"

Chu Yun handed the letter to Chu Hongwang, but took it back halfway.

"Forget it, Lao Chu, this letter, let me go first. After all, this is the most important piece of evidence, and I always feel a little uneasy. After you meet Master Wei, as long as you explain the situation, even if you don't mention this letter, he will try to take you to meet the emperor. When the time comes, it is safest to hand over this letter directly to the emperor. ”

Chu Yun pondered for a long time and stuffed the letter back into his clothes.

Chu Hongwang didn't think much about it: "It doesn't matter if you let you go, anyway, once Wei Ye writes to the imperial court, His Majesty will definitely summon me." ”

After speaking, Chu Hongwang walked quickly to Wei Ye's private house. Chu Yun was bored, so he jumped to a willow tree in the distance and squatted, waiting silently......

In such a big house, there is not even a doorkeeper outside.

Chu Hongwang was unimpeded, and soon disappeared from Chu Yun's sight. There is no one outside the house, there must be one inside. As soon as he entered, he was greeted by a subordinate.

"Here, but Lord Wei's mansion?" Chu Hongwang asked.

"Exactly, dare to ask who it is?" there was no arrogance on the face of the subordinate.

"My old friend asks to see me, and please inform Master Wei. Chu Hongwang was also polite.

"Wait a minute. The servant bowed, then turned away.

After a while, a slightly thin middle-aged man strode out of it.

This man looked to be in his early forties, wearing a simple robe, with a kind look on his face, and he saw Chu Hongwang in the courtyard at a glance.

"Oh, isn't this General Chu, who actually has time to come to the national capital. Wei Ye said loudly.

Chu Hongwang just smiled reluctantly: "Lord Wei, this General Chu, don't call it......"

"General Chu, come in and talk. Wei Ye sighed and made a gesture of please.

Chu Hongwang was not very humble, and followed Wei Ye into a guest room.

As soon as the two of them sat down, Wei Ye took the initiative to pour tea and said with a smile: "General Chu, although my house is ugly, it is not tea, but it is good tea." ”

"Thank you. Chu Hongwang took the tea bowl with both hands, took a sip lightly, and said straight to the point, "Master Wei, I came to you this time, so I won't beat around the bush, a few days ago, the battle in Northern Xinjiang was lost, and I was sentenced to be beheaded." In five and a half days, the execution will be carried out, and everyone must know about it. ”

"Alas, I didn't expect General Chu to be famous, but he was ruined by a defeat. Wei Ye was very sorry.

Chu Hongwang continued: "Just yesterday, I was charged with treason again, and I don't know why, so I came to the national capital. ”

"It's understandable that General Chu didn't know, and this charge was only determined after you returned to your hometown. It was probably the soldiers of the northern frontier who found out that you deliberately leaked secrets to the enemy army, and only then did they increase your guilt. Wei Ye said, "But Your Majesty didn't punish you severely, but just ordered someone to confiscate the Chu family's property...... Anyway, Feng Qincha should have been to Chujiazhuang, right?"

Hearing Feng Qincha's words, Chu Hongwang's face suddenly became a little unnatural. No matter how upright he is, he can't say that Master Feng was killed by his son, right?

So, Chu Hongwang could only lie hard: "Lord Feng? I don't know this...... Maybe you haven't arrived in Tianxiang City yet. ”

"Oh?" Wei Ye's face showed surprise, but he didn't delve into it, just sighed again and again, "No matter what, it's really a pity for General Chu......"

Chu Hongwang's tone became solemn: "Master Wei, in fact, there is a secret in my defeat in Northern Xinjiang. I've found out a few things about this......"

Wei Ye was very surprised, slightly out of shape, and hurriedly asked, "What's the secret?"

"That's right, there's a lot at stake. Chu Hongwang nodded deeply, "So this time I just want to ask you to take me to see Your Majesty." You know, I'm still wearing a guilty body......"

"Does General Chu want to see Your Majesty......" Wei Ye did not immediately agree, but fell silent.

Chu Hongwang always thought that as long as he made this kind of request, with Wei Ye's honest and upright character, he would definitely help.

Wei Ye took a sip of the teacup, and then shook the teacup.

The tea in the cup is tinged with a faint heat.

Seemingly, he was hesitating about something.

Suddenly, Wei Ye's right hand shook accidentally, and the teacup fell to the ground with a clatter, falling into pieces.

"Lord Wei, be careful......" Chu Hongwang had just spoken, but suddenly felt several dark shadows flying in from outside the door and window.

Then, there were five or six strong men, all of whom rushed towards Chu Hongwang and instantly pressed his limbs to death.

Chu Hongwang was already injured and had not yet recovered, and he was suddenly attacked by several strong men, so in the blink of an eye, he was completely firmly controlled by these people......
