The snowy night in Chang'an is naturally very cold.

Although it is not as good as the snowy northland all year round, for the residents of Chang'an, who are accustomed to enjoying the warmth of the Central Plains, winter is still a difficult time.

In the bustling city of Chang'an, there is no longer the bustle of the past.

Pedestrians come in twos and threes, and shops close early.

But fortunately, the candlelight flickered in the alley, and there were lights in front of the courtyard of the dignitaries. In such a dark and snowy night, it is not a bad scenery.

And among the thousands of lights, there is a courtyard where the candle flame is flickering, glowing with a ghostly light, revealing gloomy, and it looks out of place compared with the surrounding scene.

It was the prime minister of Great Wei, Sima Xu's mansion.

At this moment, in the study in the mansion, there was an old man sitting in front of the desk, and his face could not be seen clearly in the dark, but the light revealed in his half-squinted eyes was like a wolf lurking in the dense forest.

Suddenly.

The candles in the study lit up.

It should be regarded as the best red candle in Chang'an City, and the light is also very dazzling. At the same time, dozens of lights up, it stands to reason that the room should be illuminated. But for some reason, there seems to be a chill in this study, and even if there are more candles, it is still gloomy.

At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open. The wind and snow poured in outside the house, and a man with a gloomy face walked in with a ghost-headed knife.

The man glanced at the old man sitting on the Taishi's chair, and inexplicably felt some fear in his heart.

Yes, fear.

Although he is already a star, looking at the entire Great Wei world, the people who are really worthy of his serious action are only the number of hands.

But the old man in front of him is too mysterious.

He was a god and a calculator. In the past thirty years, he has seen too many princes and generals, and under his calculations, they have died in vain. He once thought that as long as he was strong enough, he could do everything according to his wishes.

But it wasn't until he saw the old man's tricks that he realized that when manpower was exhausted, the human heart sometimes contained power that surpassed everything. For this reason, he gave up his pride as a star and his dignity as a royal family, and chose to surrender to the old man.

Not only because he could help him survive the catastrophe a few months later, but also because he already knew who was the true master of the world after the death of the Holy Emperor.

Thinking of this, the man lowered his head more and more respectfully, and said so.

"The Du family kid has been recognized. ”

This should be a pity, after all, if it succeeds, Arashiin will have it at their fingertips that day, and their plan will be a little more secure.

"Hmm. The old man on the Taishi's chair didn't seem surprised by this result at all, he still squinted his eyes, and then slowly picked up a book from his side, took out a bamboo Zihao pen, and began to write something on it.

The man knew that the old man was recording what had happened today, and he was puzzled by this, but he rarely asked, because there were some things that it was not necessarily a good thing to know too much. For example, the idiot called Du Wei is a living example.

"Did the men and horses prepared on Zhang Ziwu's side let them retreat like this? The man asked again.

"Huh?" The old man's pen paused suddenly, he glanced up at the man, the light in his eyes made the man inexplicably a little flustered, so she buried her head deeper. "Why do you want to step down?" the old man lowered his head again, and began to write on the white paper, but asked so lightly.

"Aren't you going to arrest Su Changan?" The man was a little puzzled, he didn't quite understand what the old man's words meant, so he said again with some hesitation: "But now Su Changan not only saw through our strategy, but also single-handedly exposed Du Hongchang's identity." ”

"At this time, if we forcibly arrest people, in the identity of Su Changan, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the academy to do well in this matter. ”

"Since Su Changan is not a spy from the demon clan, why do we want to arrest him?" the old man said without raising his head, "What we want to arrest is a spy of the demon clan, and whoever is a spy will be arrested." ”

The man was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly understood the old man's intentions.

The Eight Desolation Courtyard joined forces with them and wanted to share the fat sheep of Tianlan Courtyard, which was naturally true. But no matter how good Tianlan Temple is, it can't compare to the throne above the temple.

It's a pity that because the Holy Emperor vacillates between the crown prince and the five princes, the Eight Desolations Court has always been secretive about supporting the crown prince.

Now, although Su Changan's plan to blame Su Changan has failed, he can make a plan and use Du Hongchang's matter as a bait to completely tie the Eight Desolations to his chariot. Thinking about it this way, it is also a surprise.

It's just that I don't know if this is Sima Xu's temporary idea, or if he has had a plan from the beginning.

Thinking of this, the man admired and feared the city government of the prime minister of Great Wei. He then bowed his hand and said, "I'll go and inform them." ”

The gate of Jinglun Courtyard was just blasted open.

It's not knocking, it's not pushing.

Instead, some people used great force to blast it away from the outside in.

Then, under the surprised gaze of everyone in the main hall, a group of armor soldiers with large swords at their waists rushed in from outside the hall with this wind and snow.

They inserted themselves from the middle of the many students like a long snake, and did not stop until they were in front of Su Changan and Du Hongchang, and then they surrounded Du Hongchang, and the pair of centaurs who were still standing in the middle of the academy suddenly spread out neatly on both sides at that moment, and forcibly opened a two-person wide passage in the crowd of people in the main hall.

At this moment, a middle-aged man wearing a black shirt walked in. This man looks like he is about fifty years old, the corners of his eyes are raised, and the corners of his mouth need to be a mustache, which is not very good-looking, but a little like a harlequin in an opera.

But the aura on his body is very restrained, and his voice is loud and steady when he walks, and it is clear at a glance that he is by no means idle.

And the moment he appeared, Yin Shan's face suddenly became quite ugly, as if he thought of some predictable future, and the cold sweat on his forehead kept dripping down at that time.

The man walked to the lower side of the hall under the gaze of everyone, he looked around at everyone, and his face trembled with a ridiculous mustache, but inexplicably with a majesty, which made the hall that should have been a little noisy for the change of two, two or three suddenly quieted down.

The man seemed to be very satisfied with this effect, he withdrew his gaze, bowed to the old man on the high platform, and said respectfully: "Zhang Ziwu, the Great Wei Tingwei, pays a visit to Dean Yin. ”

The old man's face on the high platform didn't seem to change in the slightest because of this change, and he said with a smile: "Zhang Tingwei is polite, but I don't know what happened to this sudden intrusion into my Jinglun Academy?"

"Zhang is abrupt, it's just that this demon is scheming, since he sneaked into Chang'an City, we have noticed some clues, until just now we found out that he killed the Du family's son, disguised as him, and wanted to blame Su Gongzi. The rumors that have been circulating in Chang'an City these days are supposed to be spread by his trustees. As soon as we verified the matter, we hurried to it, fearing that he would be detrimental to everyone present. Therefore, I was reckless just now, and I also invited Dean Yin Haihan!"

With that, he bowed again to the old man on the high platform.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Zhang Tingwei is so conscientious and conscientious, which is really a blessing for my Great Wei. However, this matter is thanks to Su Chang'an's Su Gongzi's courage, otherwise we would have almost been deceived by this heresy. The old man said with a smile.

"Oh, then thank you Su Gongzi so much!" The man bowed to Su Changan again when he heard this, and said with a smile: "This time I will go back to find out the reason, and I will definitely report Su Gongzi's merits to Your Majesty." ”

"Someone!" He shouted, "Bring this demon back to me and press it into the prison!"

"I'm going to interrogate it and see if there are any other members of the party. With that, he looked around at everyone again, but finally his meaningful gaze fell on Yin Shan Xun, who had been silenced as a cicada on the side, and he stopped for a few breaths before retracting his gaze.

Then he greeted the old man on the high platform for a while, and then took his heavy armor and Du Hongchang, who was already delirious, to walk away in the snow.

The look on Su Changan's face did not relax at all because he had survived this crisis, he looked at the armor soldiers who were gradually disappearing, and then looked at the gloomy face with his head down. There was a gloom in his heart for no reason, and he could feel that no matter how he calculated, it seemed that he would always be led by the nose of the Great Wei Prime Minister.

It's not something to be happy about.

What's more, he also had some doubts in his heart about who that Du Hongchang was, so his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and the mountains and rivers on his face became as cold as the pool of wind and snow outside the house.
