I feel at ease

In the meeting hall, King Jing sat on the head, looked at Wei Qi and said, "I heard that you are going to return to work?"

Wei Qiduan knelt in the hall, looked at Wei Congzhi silently, bowed his waist and kowtowed, and said nothing, King Jing said coldly: "You still wear that mask in front of this king, because you think you are too ugly to be scared With this king?"

Wei Qi was speechless, took off his mask, and turned his face to the ground. King Jing felt that this person could easily offend him, and his voice became even colder: "This king asked you something, are you dumb?"

Wei Qi finally opened his mouth, and said in a low voice: "Reporting to the lord, the servant resigned because his illness hindered the responsibility of the hidden guard, please give me your permission!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he started to cough, suppressing his voice and coughing for a long while.It was only then that King Jing realized that it was the first time he had heard Wei Qi speak seriously. His voice was a little hoarse, but he was calm and calm.Seeing that he was coughing continuously, King Jing stood up and walked up to Wei Qi, and said, "Do you feel that this king has blamed you and felt wronged, so you refuse to serve this king?"

Wei Qi climbed low enough, and said in a low voice: "This servant trespassed on the Futang Pavilion, disregarding the prince's safety and killing people... You deserve it, and this servant doesn't feel wronged. It's just that the secret guard has a heavy responsibility and this servant is unable to do what he wants, so please resign."

Wei Qi only heard a contemptuous sound from above his head: "It's so powerless." He had already been kicked in the head by King Jing.He could not stand on his knees and leaned back, so he couldn't help raising his eyes to stare at Xiao Jing. His gaze was either frightened or frightened, but there was no unwillingness or resentment in it. Hearing his voice, King Jing wanted to see Xiao Jing. Seeing this man's expression, he stepped down and met Wei Qi's eyes, and then remembered the look he gave him when he was dragged out of the Futang Pavilion that day.

King Jing stepped on him, saw that he lowered his eyes and coughed again, couldn't help but retract his feet, and said condescendingly: "You can't be a secret guard, and you killed Fang Heng, so you go to Wenfengyuan to be a waiter. people."

Wei Qi was stunned, a tinge of anger and a tinge of pain appeared in his heart, his face turned pale in an instant, and he lowered his head for a while and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me for being so hard to obey!"

He suppressed his cough, his body was trembling slightly, he couldn't tell whether it was anger or discomfort.Wei Congzhi was anxious, and he didn't know why King Jing was so difficult to be a hidden guard today. Although King Jing had many servants, he never provoke the guards around him, and he never insulted each other at will. fold.

King Jing smiled and said, "It's so hard to be a servant, you can't do what you want?"

Wei Qi lowered his head and coughed, but didn't answer. King Jing looked at him for a while, then smiled and said, "You have only one way out."

Wei Qi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, feeling very sad in his heart, but felt it was ridiculous, he raised his head and looked straight at Xiao Jing.King Jing's expression was flat, as if what he said was irrelevant.This person who used to hold him in the palm of his hand and was so kind to him is now so mocking and persecuting him.

In the year when the Fang clan was exterminated, he returned to the capital to collect the corpses of his father and brother, but he heard that the mass grave was burned down by King Jing, so he set up a grave for the Fang clan regardless of dissuasion.

Later, when he returned to Beijing to pay homage, it was the wedding of King Jing and his concubine.Xiao Jing disappeared on the night of his wedding, and got drunk in his residence in the palace.When Emperor Wushun found him, he was drunk and dreaming, with tears on his face and heartbroken.

At that time, just hearing about it made my heart ache.Originally, I thought that the past had already passed, but I didn't expect that it would be such a torment when it suddenly struck.He held a hope to find out the whereabouts of his nephew, but he just wanted to rely on the affection King Jing had for him back then.

But Fang Cheng'an was so magnificent back then, he was loved and loved by the prince's family, and he was very proud.Now that his appearance has been destroyed and his family has been exterminated, how can he still show up safely.

He was disheartened, thinking that with Xiao Jing's treatment, he could finally abandon the past and leave far away, but why did he have to risk his life when he wanted to leave.

The sword in the sleeve is always kept in the sleeve, and the secret guard has a special status. He is also allowed to carry weapons when meeting the emperor and prince.Wei Qi's eyes were red with pain, he couldn't say what he wanted to say, the corners of his mouth trembled.

He laughed suddenly, jumped out the sword, and stabbed at his heart, Wei Congzhi exclaimed: "My lord!"

Xiao Jing had already made a move first, grabbed Wei Qi's hand, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Okay! It's so good, I can't see that you are such a virtuous person."

Xiao Jing snatched the sword, but Wei Qi's gaze was still slashing at him like a blade. Xiao Jing felt a little uncomfortable with this gaze, and slowly said: "You have such a hideous face, even if you enter Wenfengyuan, It's so difficult that I'm afraid of what this king will do to you..."

As soon as Wei Qi said this, the pain was finally gone, he hurriedly avoided his eyes, and couldn't help coughing, the coughing was like an overwhelming force, it was hard to stop, he knelt on the ground and coughed for a long while, bowed his back, Xiao Jing slightly felt nervous, sat back on the head, and said to Wei Congzhi: "Let him go to the post of secret guard, so that he can be raised, and he will work in Wen'anxuan later."

Surprised, Wei Congzhi bowed and said, "My lord, this person's legs and feet are inconvenient, I'm afraid it's not in accordance with the etiquette!"

King Jing looked sideways at Wei Congzhi, and said with a faint smile, "Who told me that this man is loyal, and now wants me to dislike him?"

Wei Congzhi was dumbfounded, but King Jing suddenly said: "Wei Congzhi, Yuan Shantong's nephew is doing some cleaning work in the conference hall of King Jing's mansion, what's wrong?"

Wei Congzhi was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I dare not!"

King Jing said coldly: "Take him down, if he runs away or dies, 22 secret guards will be buried with him, and you and Yuan Shan are also inseparable."

Wen Anxuan in King Jing's Mansion was actually the academy of King Qin back then. It entered the courtyard three times, the outer hall was the meeting hall, and the inner hall was divided into study room and living room.

Holding a rag, Fang Chengan stood at the entrance of the council hall to bask in the sun. On a rare sunny day, his cough finally healed, and the weather gradually warmed up.

King Jing has always been lazy, and it is not uncommon for him not to come to the meeting hall for a few days. Fang Cheng'an touched the desk and bookshelf that Xiao Yue had used back then, his sourness gradually faded away, leaving him at a loss.

Fang Chengan raised his head and closed his eyes to face the sun, feeling that his face was warm. As soon as King Jing stepped into the courtyard door, he saw his appearance. The scars on his face became more and more obvious under the sunlight. King Jing walked forward for a few minutes Stepping forward, the accompanying eunuchs and Chief Secretary followed behind him.Fang Chengan regained consciousness in an instant, and hurriedly knelt at the door of the meeting hall to greet him.

King Jing entered the meeting hall, and after discussing matters with the chief historian, he raised his eyes to see Wei Qi still kneeling at the door, and called out, "Wei Qi, come in!"

Fang Chengan knelt there motionless, King Jing frowned displeased, eunuch Ning Gonggong hurriedly said: "My lord, after this person resigns, he won't be called Wei Qi anymore, his real name is Zhang Shan."

King Jing glanced at Eunuch Ning in a blink of an eye, and said: "His face is so fierce, it doesn't fit to be called Zhang Shan, so let's call him Wei Qi." He called again: "Wei Qi, don't come in yet!"

Fang Cheng'an got up and walked in the door, bowed his head and waited. King Jing said, "How comfortable is the sun?"

Fang Chengan didn't expect Xiao Jing to ask such a question, and replied: "My lord, the servant has never been lazy and has cleaned the meeting hall. It's just that the sun is shining brightly today, it's really a good weather."

His voice was slightly hoarse, as if he had sprinkled a layer of fine sand on the soft fabric.King Jing didn't expect that this person would speak without being a secret guard, and his voice was neither humble nor overbearing, and he didn't rush. King Jing found it pleasant to hear, and said: "After cleaning, you can bask in the sun. How about your life?" Even more comfortable than this king, are you still satisfied now?"

Fang Cheng'an said: "I dare not..."

King Jing waved his hand and said, "You have committed murder and suicide in front of this king, what else is there not to dare?"

Fang Cheng'an remained silent, King Jing saw that he was unmoved and dead again, and waved him back.

Fang Cheng'an left with a limp, and Qian Shaohai, the Chief of the Palace, said: "There is no servant in the meeting hall, but the prince thinks highly of him!"

King Jing said indifferently: "This man is a guardian for Yuan Shantong. He is very skilled in martial arts, and he is indeed somewhat loyal and arrogant."

Qian Shaohai smiled and said: "It's a pity that I have a lame leg, otherwise I will ask the prince to ask for it."

Hearing what he said, King Jing felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and looked at the sunny sky outside the room and said: "It's such a good day, it's a pity not to have a spring hunt."

Fang Cheng'an works in the council hall. Apart from cleaning daily, he is also responsible for serving tea, serving water, studying ink, and transcribing papers for King Jing. However, this idle prince does not have many official affairs, and Wei Congzhi and Qian Shaohai even deal with trivial matters. Ying should take care of it, Fang Cheng is free to come and have nothing to do, and occasionally practice kung fu in the courtyard outside the hall.

He has been doing the secret guard for a long time, and his lightness kung fu has also improved to a higher level. He kicked a branch while flying and moving, and then stopped to pick it up.He remembered that when he peeked at Xiao Yue in this square courtyard, he would step on the branches and beams of the house, and occasionally break the branches and tiles. If it wasn't for Xiao Yue's consent, who could come and go freely here.

King Jing saw him practicing in the academy from a distance, but he didn't come near him, and saw him holding a cut tree branch in a daze. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he entered the courtyard, and gave Ning Gonggong a wink. Ning Gonggong shouted: "Wei Qi, you You are so brave, you dare to practice here, and even kicked off a branch of Wen Anxuan!"

Fang Chengan came back to his senses, seeing King Jing looking at him coldly, he quickly knelt down and said, "Forgive me, my lord, this servant did not intend to damage the trees in the courtyard. This square court cannot practice kung fu, and this servant never knew."

Every time King Jing sees Fang Chengan kneeling down to forgive his sins, he feels that this person has no sense of fear and cowardice, as if he just acts like this, even if he is driven to a desperate situation, it seems that he can only see a touch of sadness and anger in him. There is no resentment or hatred in the expression of speech.This was the case again today, he suddenly felt strange and somewhat curious in his heart, and said: "Eunuch Ning, according to the rules of the palace, what should be the crime for damaging the flowers and trees of the palace?"

Ning Gonggong said: "Report to the lord, if you damage the flowers and trees in the palace, you will not only be compensated according to the price, but you will also be whipped ten times."

King Jing said: "In that case, let's follow the rules."

Wei Qi was dragged out to be punished. After receiving ten lashes, he was taken back to Wen Anxuan, where he knelt at the door of the meeting hall.Although the knife wound on his back was healed, ten lashes still aroused old troubles. Although the wound was not severe, his back was excruciatingly painful. He said coldly, "I haven't come in yet to serve."

Wei Qi stood up, his back was not straight, and he was standing beside King Jing, studying ink and writing. His forehead was covered with cold sweat, his face was pale, and the hand that lifted the pen trembled slightly.

Seeing his appearance, King Jing couldn't help looking into his eyes, but Wei Qi turned his body slightly and faced him with a scar. Fengyuan."
