Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

More than half an hour later, Li Xiu came out of the prison in the camp. The spots of blood were stained between the armor and the gloomy brows, which clearly proved that he was not calm at the moment.

"General, the Duke of Dingguo's mansion has sent someone over, saying that the general is asking you to enter the mansion for a briefing."

At this time, a soldier rushed over and respectfully presented a beautifully decorated post in front of Li Xiu.

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yuji and Er Wazi, who were following Li Xiu, suddenly changed their expressions, and their eyes immediately focused on Li Xiu.

"If you refuse him, just say that the general is busy!"

"As ordered!"

The soldiers took orders and left.

Li Xiu turned around and glanced at Zhou Yuji. Even though he didn't say anything, Zhou Yuji understood instantly, embraced his orders, and turned away.

"Brother Xiu, why did you decline the invitation from Duke Ding's mansion?"

While walking, Erwazi couldn't help coming up to him and asking.

Upon hearing these words, Li Xiu stopped suddenly, frowned and said, "Do you have any connection with Xungui?"

"what?"

Erwazi was taken aback for a moment, and after realizing it, he immediately waved his hands again and again: "How can it be, brother Xiu, what are you thinking, how could I have anything to do with them!"

"We and Xungui are not on the same side yet, so don't have any contact with them for now! You can just do your own thing with peace of mind!"

"I know, Brother Xiu, don't worry!"

Li Xiu waved his hand, looked down at the beautifully decorated post in his hand, but couldn't help shaking his head.

There are really not many simple characters in this capital court!

Even though the gentlemen are noble and the martial arts are cheap, even if the nobles have been lonely for a long time, the one-acre three-point land in the capital is really intricate and full of energy!

Not to mention reselling ordnance and shoddy goods, how many joints need to be wooed and opened up, just the knowledge of this news alone, really cannot be underestimated.

From the discovery to the arrest to the interrogation on my side, it took more than an hour, until late at night, and when I ordered martial law in the army and strictly prohibited going out, I was able to get the news so quickly and respond!

This alone is enough to prove how great the influence of these nobles who have lived with the country in the capital is.

You must know that when Emperor Tianqi ordered the reorganization of the Yongwei Camp, Wei Zhongxian was given full responsibility. Wei Zhongxian was not liked by Xungui.

Not to mention that since he took power, he has also launched a purge of the entire Yongwei Battalion.

Under such circumstances, you can still stretch your hand in without any trace!

Li Xiu didn't know whether to call them powerful or stupid!

Coming and not being indecent...

The brain is not good enough to stretch the claws over the boundary, it is not easy to chop off the claws and get the job done!

Holding the invitation card in his hand, Li Xiu looked indifferent, turned his head and glanced at the direction of the palace, thought for a moment, and then took a step, and the accompanying guards followed suit, and walked towards the gate of the camp.

"Brother Xiu, are you going to enter the palace?"

Seeing Li Xiu's movements, Erwazi called out immediately.

"What's the matter?"

"Brother Xiu, wait a moment, just wait a moment!"

Erwazi left in a hurry, his voice still echoing in the night sky.

Soon, Erwazi came in a hurry leading a group of soldiers.

"Brother Xiu, bring more people!"

Hearing this, Li Xiu was stunned for a moment, then patted Erwa on the shoulder, and there was a look of relief in the corner of his eyes.

It was late at night, and the curfew had already come to the capital for a long time.

There was silence on the street, no one was seen, and the sound of a watchman calling in the wind could be faintly heard in the distance.

There were many torches, and the flickering firelight illuminated the place where the team went. Perhaps it was the reason why Erwazi brought people to join temporarily, and the accompanying soldiers were obviously a little more vigilant.

In fact, from the moment he stepped out of the big camp, Li Xiu himself was extremely vigilant.

A head blinded by profit has to be on guard against doing stupid things.

Not long after leaving the camp, Li Xiu noticed the stalker.

This point was not beyond Li Xiu's expectations, but the sudden arrival of several fast horses was beyond Li Xiu's surprise.

Clang clang!

With the blade unsheathed, the army lined up, and the fighting was cold, as if they had locked on the few people who came galloping on horseback.

"Don't misunderstand, the general. The minor one is in charge of Dingguo's mansion. By the order of the Patriarch, the general is invited into the mansion to have a talk!"

Seeing such a battle, several men turned pale with fright, and the middle-aged man at the head shouted subconsciously.

"General, don't misunderstand, the younger one is in charge of Dingguo's mansion, and by the order of the Patriarch, the general is invited into the mansion to have a talk!"

……

Chapter 1 Entering the Palace

"He Dehe Neng, this general, deserves to be invited again and again by Starry Night of the State Duke's Mansion!"

Li Xiu smiled faintly, but he did not hide the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

"How about this, I have something important to go to the palace to report to the emperor, and when I return from the palace..."

Speaking of this, Li Xiu suddenly paused for a moment, staring at the middle-aged steward in front of him with a cold expression, and said in a deep voice: "How about going to the Duke's mansion to make amends when I return from the palace?"

"General!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged steward suddenly became anxious and couldn't help walking towards the army formation.

"stop!"

"presumptuous!"

Before Li Xiu said a word, the guards beside him immediately stepped forward with a knife and stopped the middle-aged man.

"Let him come here!"

Li Xiu smiled faintly, waved his hand to stop the soldiers from moving further, stepped forward, and whispered something in his ear.

"Go back and tell your Patriarch that the claws have been stretched out, so it's not as simple as cutting them off!"

As soon as this remark came out, the middle-aged steward's expression suddenly changed, but soon, he forcibly calmed down, and said in a deep voice: "General, you have to think about it, you are also a military officer, your face is torn, but it is not so easy Made it up!"

"Hahahaha!"

Li Xiu couldn't help smiling, and after a while, he looked at the middle-aged steward who was clearly at a loss.

"If Li remembers correctly, after the death of the previous Dingguo Duke, the succession of the Dingguo Duke's title should not be determined yet!"

As soon as the words fell, Li Xiu snorted coldly, turned around suddenly, and stepped out. The soldiers around him followed suit, heading for the palace mightily.

The middle-aged stewards were left alone, their faces pale and at a loss in the cold wind of the night.

"Xiu...Brother Xiu...would you jump over the wall if you threaten them like this?"

Erwazi was a little worried.

"If you jump over the wall in a hurry, it will only target us."

Li Xiu shook his head, looked in the direction of the palace, and said with a smile: "But they must have the energy to target us..."

……

In the middle of the night, the gates of the imperial palace had long been closed. According to the law, under such circumstances, it was naturally impossible for someone to make an exception and enter the palace.

However, with the letter from the emperor and the name Li Xiu, it is not difficult to enter the palace late at night.

"General Li!"

As soon as the Qianqing Palace came into view, Li Xiu saw Grandpa Sun walking towards him at the junction of the military battle. Seeing his anxious expression, it was obvious that this Grandpa Sun must have been waiting for him here for a long time.

"General Lee..."

Before Eunuch Sun finished speaking, Li Xiu stepped forward with a smile.

"I happened to meet Eunuch Sun, and Li happened to have something to trouble Eunuch Sun with!"

"Uh……"

Sun Xian couldn't help being stunned for a while, but he forced a smile and said, "The general has something to do, it's my duty!"

"It's because the people below didn't know what to do, and something happened, and it also involved the military situation..."

Hearing this, Sun Xian didn't react for a while. Since he got the news, he has been frightened. After all, he is a mere eunuch. According to Xiu Jinyan, when the emperor was angry, he would kill him without any worries.

This is also the reason why he waited outside the Qianqing Palace. He wanted to be cheeky to ask Li Xiu to forgive him, but he didn't expect that he would take him out without blaming him at all, and put the matter to rest. Characterized as the audacity of his subordinates.

Undoubtedly, as long as the general in front of him, who is trusted by the emperor, does not pursue the matter, most of the matter will be resolved!

"Don't worry, general, this servant will definitely rectify the situation of the war, and promise that there will be no more mistakes!"

After making the promise, Sun Xian said again: "General, the batch of ordnance you want, the slave will personally watch, promise..."

"It's okay!"

Li Xiu waved his hand, glanced at Qianqing Palace, and said with a smile: "Sun Eunuch is going together, or?"

"The young one has to make an apology, and I have to count on you, the general, for some kind words later."

"That's natural, and I can't blame you, eunuch. There are always some greedy idiots who want to die by themselves, and I can't blame anyone else!"

The murderous voice caught my ears, and the smile on Sun Xian's face stiffened a little, and he nodded in response.

The two exchanged pleasantries all the way, but their words were very tacitly staggered what happened tonight.

Starry night entered the palace, to Li Xiu's surprise, at this time, Zhu Youjian hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was still working on a mountain of memorials before burying his head in the desk case.

"Aiqing entered the palace at night, but what happened?"

The tone was full of tiredness, but it was also obviously eager. As for Sun Xian who came with him, he was naturally ignored by Zhu Youjian.

It was obviously abnormal to enter the palace so late, he had just ascended to the Great Treasure, and his foundation was not stable, so he couldn't help but think about it.

"The end will come to plead guilty!"

As soon as Li Xiu's words came out, Zhu Youjian was also taken aback, and then immediately looked at Sun Xian who was kneeling beside him.

"Sun Xian, you step back first."

"The slave obeys."

Sun Xian was helpless, but he also had to retreat respectfully, but the look in his eyes asking for help was not looking at Li Xiu who was standing respectfully.

It wasn't until Sun Xian withdrew from the main hall that Zhu Youjian signaled all the servants to retreat, then he looked at Li Xiu and asked doubtfully, "Brother Li, what are you playing?"

"According to His Majesty's will, the last general ordered the Yongwei Battalion to prepare for the expedition, but when the last general made his inspection tour, he unexpectedly discovered..."

Li Xiu didn't hide anything, and told everything that happened tonight.

And as Li Xiu told, Zhu Youjian's expression became more and more gloomy.

You know, not only Li Xiu regards the Yongwei Battalion as the foundation, and works hard, but Zhu Youjian does the same!

The existence of the Yongwei Battalion is his greatest reliance and confidence as the emperor!

Although perhaps in this capital city, the Yongwei Battalion will never be able to play its final role, but having a sword in hand and not using it are two completely different concepts!

Now such a thing has happened, and it also involves the nobles of the inner court and the outer court!

"Kill! Kill me!"

Zhu Youjian's face was ashen, and he shouted viciously: "Aiqing, I have authorized you to let Cao Huachun cooperate with you, and kill him if he should..."

Li Xiu remained silent until Zhu Youjian's anger faded away, and then he said slowly: "Your Majesty calm down, this matter, if you look at it from another angle, it might be a good thing!"

"Good thing?"

Zhu Youjian frowned. Naturally, he would not think that Li Xiu was talking nonsense. He was silent for a moment, and his thoughts, which were chaotic due to anger, were smooth. Only then did Zhu Youjian react, the gloom disappeared, and he said excitedly. : "Aiqing refers to Xungui?"

"Your Majesty's lesson!"

"As far as the general knows, since the death of the previous Dingguo Duke, the issue of the succession to the nobility has not been finalized. As the so-called unity of honor and honor, Dingguo's mansion is now involved in this matter. I think it is only necessary to investigate carefully. Followed the vine and grasped many handles..."

Chapter 1

"exactly!"
