Rong Shiying "forcibly" requisitioned Xie Hu's horse, lightly clamped the horse's belly, and rode away in a cloud of dust.

Xie Hu, standing stupidly aside, looked puzzled as he listened, and was about to ask the head of the family why he was looking for the former crown prince of Goryeo.

But Xie Yuheng looked him up and down and said, "There is still some time before the court meeting begins."

"Go into the mansion, wash and pack quickly, and follow me into the palace later."

Xie Hu said "Huh?" and said in disbelief: "Can I see the emperor?"

"The master of the house said you can do it, so of course you can." Xie Zhushu stepped forward and pushed his shoulder as he walked into the mansion.

"Come on, I'll talk to you about the rules of the court meeting."

After everyone had read Xie Hu's letter, Rong Liu handed it to the guards of Hanguang Gate.

As soon as the word "military intelligence" came out, the guards ran away and reported it quickly!

A quarter of an hour later, Xie Hu followed Xie Yuheng and his party into the imperial city.

Walking on Chengtianmen Street, most of the people coming and going are civil servants.

Seeing the doubt in Xie Hu's eyes, Xie Mingli explained: "These days, military officers have left the capital one after another."

"The only military officers left in the capital are those in the City Defense Department and the like."

Xie Hu suddenly realized, "So that's it."

At this moment, a voice from Daliang with a slight Wusun accent came from the side.

"Oh, I never thought I would see Marquis Jiangling again."

"I thought that Marquis Jiangling had been torn from his head and body long ago and reincarnated!"

Everyone's anger was ignited in an instant. They looked in the direction of the voice and saw the person who spoke.

It was An Fan who had spoken so arrogantly at the court meeting earlier.

Xie Yuheng raised the corners of his lips slightly, his tone sounding a bit lazy.

"If you don't want to see me, I can help you."

Seeing Xie Yuheng stepping forward, An Fan's eyes were full of teasing, "Oh? I'm curious about how Marquis Jiangling can help me."

"Is Emperor Liang planning to have the Wusun army massacre Liangzhou?"

As he spoke, Xie Yuheng had already walked close to him.

The two men had a huge age difference but similar heights, which made An Fan very unhappy!

"I am also very curious whether the civil strife in Wusun has been resolved."

An Fan's breathing suddenly stagnated, and then he pretended to be calm. Just as he was about to open his mouth to sneer, he saw a dagger stabbing straight into his eyes.

He hastily tried to pull it aside, but the dagger remained with him.

Chi Guanxu, who had just reacted, shouted, "Xie Yuheng, you are so bold that you dared to assassinate a foreign envoy in public!"

Xie Zhuqing asked with contempt, "Foreign envoy? What kind of foreign envoy is he? Did he hand in a formal letter of credence?"

The civil servants passing by interrupted and said, "Yeah, he's a shitty envoy!"

"Chi Guanxu, you are such a spineless traitor, licking the feet of a squid, don't take us with you."

"The civil servants die for their advice, the military servants die for their battles, only the ants survive!"

"I forgot that Lord Chi is not from an imperial examination family. It's normal for him to have no integrity, hahaha..."

The civil servants used their tongues as weapons, and every word they said was like a sword, stabbing at Chi Guanxu.

The grand scale of this crusade really opened Xie Hu's eyes. Why was it different from what he had imagined the Chinese officials would do?

Shouldn’t a civil servant be like Brother Mingli?

Xie Hu raised his eyes and looked towards Xie Mingli, but saw that the place where he had originally stood was empty.

As for An Fan, he was a little embarrassed when dodging at first, but then he stood firm.

His punches were full of power and he could control them freely, showing that he was a good martial artist.

He threw out another punch, and suddenly a hand stretched out from the side and grabbed his forearm tightly.

Xie Yuheng quickly stepped back half a step, and then the corner of his scarlet robe brushed across An Fan's face.

At the same time, Xie Mingli let go of his hand, and An Fan flew out like a kite with a broken string.

Before An Fan could get up, Xie Mingli took the hairpin from his head, took two steps forward, and inserted it accurately into An Fan's left eye.

Everyone only heard a painful wail, and when they looked at An Fan again, he was covered in blood.

Xie Mingli stood up, his black hair fluttering in the wind.

He turned around, still with a gentle smile on his face and a gentle voice.

"If Yuheng wants to kill someone in the future, just tell big brother, don't dirty your hands."

A civil servant nearby screamed, "Oh my god, is this a matter of dirty hands? Man, you are so brave to hurt people in the imperial city!"

Also, how did Marquis Jiangling get out of the Ministry of Justice’s prison and even bring a dagger into the palace?

These two brothers are so brave!

As he was speaking, Chen Qiu came out of Chengtian Gate with a team of guards and soon arrived nearby.

The dagger turned a circle under Xie Yuheng's fingertips, with the handle facing outward, and was handed to Chen Qiu.

"An, the foreign envoy, entered the palace with a dagger. He had ulterior motives and has now been captured by me and my brother."

What does it mean to confuse right and wrong?

What does it mean to create something out of nothing?

What does it mean to talk nonsense?

That’s it!

If Chen Qiu had not heard the guards' report beforehand, he would have almost believed it!

Commander Chen tried hard to control the twitching of his mouth, took the dagger and took a look at it.

Wow, he’s wearing the Wusun totem.

Although it is the most common style, it can also be bought in Xishi.

"Luckily you didn't grow crooked." Chen Qiu muttered softly and handed the dagger to his subordinate.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel grateful that it was thanks to Chen Qiu that he stepped in when he showed signs of "going astray".

Report to His Majesty in time and obtain the imperial decree to grant the imperial examination, allowing me to travel far away to serve as a teacher.

Otherwise, where can Your Majesty find such a smart person with the talent to govern the country and help the world?

Chen Qiu cleared his throat and raised his hand, "The emissary An Fan brought a dagger into the palace. He is worthy of death. Take him away!"

The guards came and went in a hurry.

If An Fan's blood had not dripped all the way, the civil servants would have thought that they were still asleep and were dreaming!

What kind of wind is this?

Lord Chen actually acquiesced to Marquis Jiangling's attack on the Wusun people. Could it be that Your Majesty is planning to throw the jar into the air?

Everyone had different thoughts, but there were also some well-informed people who, after hearing the Xie clan members beating the drum yesterday, guessed that there might be something fishy going on.

The officials who used to treat attending court as a visit to the grave were all cheered up and rushed to the palace.

It’s just because the time for the court meeting is approaching, not because they want to just sit back and watch the show!

Chi Guanxu had fainted once due to anger a few days ago, and now he felt even more chest tightness and shortness of breath, and was in extreme discomfort.

His mind was full of thoughts, and he really couldn't understand why the Xie Yuheng brothers dared to hurt An Fan.

Chi Guanxu walked slowly in front, without noticing that Chi Song, who was following him half a step behind, had a cold look in his eyes.

After entering Chengtian Gate, we walked towards Chuigong Hall.

Xie Mingli used the hairpin given by another civil official to tie his hair up again and said to Xie Yuheng, "I forgot to tell you last night."

"Hmm?" Xie Yuheng looked up in confusion.

"The day after you were imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice, Chi Lin died. I heard he drowned."

Xie Yuheng held the ivory tablet and clapped his palms.

He was thinking about something in his heart, but he only said, "A family that is not kind will suffer misfortune."
