Chapter 421: Jade Tethered Horse Stake
It was getting late, and the emperor was sitting in the palace, thinking about all the things that had happened that day, and he was a little afraid, father, killer, usurper, Nangong Tianjiao, his head was about to be squeezed.
Glossy held his head and roared, and then, groggily, lay on the dragon step and fell asleep.
Nangong Xiao pulled Zhao Wan'er out of the queen's palace and ran to the east. He hadn't been to the national capital for many years, and he couldn't recognize the old appearance of the national capital at all, he looked at the people behind him and quickly got rid of the people behind, but Zhao Wan'er just didn't cooperate, kept kicking and beating Nangong Xiao, and scolded: "You old madman, what are you going to do? I said it all, I'm not Nangong Tianjiao, I'm not your daughter, don't you understand?"
Nangong Xiao felt very uncomfortable, he said while running: "Daughter, do you hate Daddy for coming one step late, Dad can't help it, I saw your mother in Peach Blossom Creek, your mother is still young and beautiful, but she always can't wake up, I have been with her for a while, guessing that she must want to wake up when our family is reunited, Dad is looking for you this time, just to bring you back, let's not take revenge, cure your mother's illness, and then, our family will fly away and live a good life." β
Zhao Wan'er couldn't understand what this crazy old man said, she struggled hard and said: "Let go of me, I won't go with you, my father and mother have been gone since I was a child, and I don't want to find any father and mother." Let me go, if I don't go back to the palace, my fiancΓ© will be killed by the emperor. β
Nangong Xiao stopped in front of a luxurious mansion, and he carefully looked at the few big characters on the gate: Prime Minister's Mansion. Nangong smiled and said sadly: "This place is so familiar, a bit like my home more than ten years ago. With that, Nangong Xiao unconsciously walked to a horse-tethered post.
By the moonlight, Nangong Xiao raised his hand and stroked back and forth on the jade tethered horse pile, and the scene of more than ten years ago couldn't help but emerge in front of him. At that time, he was drinking tea with Mrs. Xuanyue in the living room, and the two of them looked at the garden not far from the living room with a smile, Nangong Tianjiao was playing with Leng Gongxue in the garden, and suddenly there was a noisy sound outside the door of the house, and after a while, someone came to report that Prime Minister Wang Cheng and Lord Shi Yan asked to meet. Nangong smiled and remembered that they had gone to the house to tease their wives a few years ago, and after being beaten by themselves, they had never been at the door, but they were often ostracized by these two people in the officialdom. Nangong Xiao didn't know what they were doing again, he asked his wife to hurry back to the bedroom first, and then he hurriedly walked out to prepare to greet him, and before he could reach the gate of the mansion, the door had been broken by the officers and soldiers outside. Wang Wei and Shi Yan walked in aggressively. Wang Wei held a holy decree in his hand, and he personally opened his mouth to read: "Nangong Xiao, fornication and anti-thief, causing a heavy danger to the people and the country in the north, remove Nangong Xiao from the post of general of the Southern Great Expedition on the same day, immediately send him to the court to be executed, and exterminate the nine clans, and confiscate all family property." β
Nangong smiled when he heard this will, like five thunderbolts, he got up from the ground after receiving the will, and said incoherently: "Prime Minister Wang, Lord Shi, I have never had the intention of rebellion, why does the emperor say that I am an adulterous thief?"
Wang Wei raised his head arrogantly and said: "This is the emperor's will, you go and ask him, hahaha-but, I think you may never have this opportunity, what you did yourself, if the emperor has no evidence, how can he wronged you, you still honestly accept the punishment." β
Nangong Xiao shouted in despair: "No, Your Majesty, I, Nangong Xiao, have always been loyal to the emperor, and I have never had two hearts, how can I fornicate against thieves? Emperor, the emperor thinks twice!"
The officers and soldiers instantly entered Nangong Mansion and shackled Nangong Xiao and Xuanyue. Wang Wei viciously gave the order, so the officers and soldiers began to burn and loot, and the entire Nangong Mansion fell into a murderous disaster.
Nangong thought about it with a smile, and couldn't help but burst into tears, he let go of Zhao Wan'er's hand and attached his face to the jade and sobbed. His gray beard was curled up and looked like a helpless child. Zhao Wan'er wanted to run, but when she looked up and saw this crazy old man crying, she was a little embarrassed, and after thinking for a long time, she stepped forward with courage, held Nangong Xiao's arm and said: "Old man, why are you crying, you better leave quickly, otherwise, after a while, Leng Ye will chase after you, and you won't be able to run, that Leng Ye is very powerful." β
Nangong Xiao raised his head and shook off Zhao Wan'er's wrist and said: "You stinky girl, don't care about me, don't even call your father, don't you want to recognize me and your mother, okay, whatever you want, anyway, I haven't raised you with your mother over the years, and I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as parents, we're sorry for you, since you don't want to go with me to see your mother, you can go." After speaking, Nangong Xiao staggered open the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and broke in, because he was overly sad, he had no defense at all, as soon as he opened the door of the mansion, several figures flew inside, and a few palms hit Nangong Xiao's chest, Nangong Xiao fell to the ground with a bang.
As soon as he was about to rise, several swords pressed against his chest and throat. Nangong Xiao cried and asked, "Who are you, why are you occupying my house?" A person shouted: "Shut up, you madman, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, not a place where you can just spread wildland." β
Nangong smiled and pointed to the big door hole and said, "This is obviously my family's mansion, and it was occupied by you dog officials. You shameless things. When a person heard this, he shouted: "You madman is really dead, today I will fulfill you, you thing that does not know life or death." The man's sword stabbed forward.
Zhao Wan'er, who came from behind, saw it clearly, this person wanted to kill this masked madman, although Zhao Wan'er hated the crazy appearance of this old man, but after all, he was very kind, and he had to save himself, so Zhao Wan'er ignored his own danger, ran over, and knelt in front of several people and shouted: "Stay under the sword, don't kill the old man, he is a good person." β
A few people saw a woman kneeling down in front of them, although it was dark, but by the moonlight, they could still see the beautiful face of this woman. Several people drew their swords and looked at the woman with interest and asked, "Girl, who are you? How did you break into the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Zhao Wan'er had long known that the killers in the Prime Minister's Mansion were extremely powerful, and she didn't expect that she was actually brought to this place by this old man, and she couldn't help but gasp.
Zhao Wan'er hurriedly said: "Brothers, I'm really sorry, I and this old man got lost for a while and accidentally broke into your land, let's leave now." Saying that, Zhao Wan'er hurriedly came over to help Nangong smile, and whispered: "Old man, don't cry, go quickly, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, let's not make trouble for ourselves." β
Nangong smiled and saw that this little girl actually pleaded for herself and was so kind to herself, his heart was warm, he stopped his tears and said happily: "Tianjiao, you are really sensible, don't be angry with your father? Listen to you, let's leave now." Nangong Xiao stood up and walked out with Zhao Wan'er's support.
At this time, the first man in black sneered and said: "Tianjiao? Could it be that you are Nangong Xiao's daughter Nangong Tianjiao? A few people laughed, and someone blocked the door.
