The king was wrong

Wei Yanxi stared blankly at the large line of characters on the paper, she didn't say anything for a long time, and finally it was Liang Wei who spoke.

"Wang... my lord, Master Zhu... what do you mean?"

Wei Yanxi looked up at him blankly, "What else can it mean, isn't it just the literal meaning."

"But this..."

Liang Wei was dumbfounded. According to Young Master Zhu's intention, something serious happened in the capital, which involved the princess, and he asked the prince to rush back to save the princess as soon as possible.But thinking about the letter from the princess two days ago, there is nothing important in Beijing, and he is doing well.What's more, the letter from Ying Si also said so, why did Young Master Zhu send such a letter?

Liang Wei looked bewildered, unable to figure it out, but Wei Yanxi was staring blankly at the letter paper on the table.

After the garlic juice is smoked and roasted, it presents a deep brown color with a hint of dark red, and there are faint cracks in it, just like the color of blood after coagulation, which is shocking.

Wei Yanxi looked at these ten words repeatedly, although they were written in a short and hasty way, they hit his heart like a thunderbolt.The dark brown was like a cloud, hanging over his head, lingering, and he always had the illusion, as if these ten dark brown characters were written with Yao Qing's blood.

He was so beautiful, his blue shirt was stained mottled with blood, there was no good spot on his fair and delicate skin, his hands and feet were shackled, and he was locked in a bottomless dungeon, looking at a man in despair. With a fixed direction, there is no trace of the previous look in his eyes...

"My lord, my lord?"

Liang Wei's voice came from next to his ear, and Wei Yanxi suddenly came back to his senses, only to see Liang Wei was looking at him worriedly.

"Well, what happened?"

"Oh no, this subordinate is just wondering...uh, my lord, is this letter...is it credible?" Liang Wei asked tentatively: "After all, the letter from the concubine just came before, and the difference is only three or two days. , there shouldn’t be such a big change. Besides, Yingsi also said that there is no difference in the capital, could this letter be a trap deliberately set by someone else to lure the prince into stepping on it?”

Liang Wei's considerations were actually not unreasonable. Wei Yanxi is now the commander of the Northern Army with a heavy responsibility, and she must not leave the station without an imperial edict.If he really followed the letter and left the army and rushed back to the capital without even thinking about it, it would be a serious crime of deceiving the emperor, and he should be punished according to the law!

If it's really because of the accident of the princess, that's fine, but if it's not... I'm afraid that the emperor will blame him, and he won't be able to explain it. Even the emperor's own brother will not be able to escape the severe punishment.

Wei Yanxi had indeed considered this before, but he quickly rejected it.Not for anything else, just for the sender.

"Zhu Yaozi will not send letters to this king for no reason." Wei Yanxi shook his head and explained: "If someone really wants to plot against this king, they can send it in the name of Yaoqing, why use him Zhu Yaozi? This king The feud with Mr. Shoufu is well known in the capital, and he obviously has a better candidate, so there is no need to use Zhu Yaozi."

"Furthermore, only the two of us know that this king owes him a promise, not even Yaoqing. This king doesn't think that anyone other than him will specifically mention this matter."

"But my lord, why did Young Master Zhu bring up the fact that you owe him a promise? It's not easy to get your promise, why did he use it up so easily?"

"This..." Wei Yanxi narrowed his eyes, "Even the promise owed to him has been used. I'm afraid he wants to tell this king that the situation is urgent and there is no delay. He must go back."

Wei Yanxi couldn't help worrying, what happened, even Zhu Yaozi, the assistant son, couldn't figure it out, so he had to come forward?

"Liang Wei, pack up the things for the king, the king will leave tonight, and strive to return to the capital within ten days!"

Things in this world are changing rapidly, and a person who looked good at one moment may be decapitated the next moment.Zhu Yaozi's unclear letter was like an awl, digging into Wei Yanxi's heart one by one, making him anxious and uneasy, lest something irreversible happen to Qi Yaoqing in the capital.

"Your Highness is really leaving tonight?" Liang Wei was stunned when he heard the words, "Then... what about the army stationed here? If Bei Di takes this opportunity to attack..."

"It's okay, you stay and command the entire army on behalf of this king, and let Ying Er Ying San stay and help. This king will only take Ying away, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

Wei Yanxi quickly wrote the handover document, handed the Marshal Tiger Talisman to Liang Wei, patted him on the shoulder and said, "If something happens to Yaoqing, this king will never forgive me in this lifetime. You have been with this king for so many years , how to fight does not need to be taught by the king. Beidi's rash attack this time does not have enough material resources and troops, and he has been in a stalemate with us for so long. This battle will have a result within half a month. Just guard the frontier and wait for this king to come back."

Seeing that Liang Wei opened his mouth to refuse, Wei Yanxi increased his strength a bit, and said with a stern face: "Don't talk about it, I don't plan to tell anyone when I go back this time, you must hide it for me. If something goes wrong during the period, you are the only one to ask!"

When Wei Yanxi said this, his face was serious, and there was a sense of majesty in his eyes when he was reviewing soldiers.Liang Wei only felt a chill on his neck, straightened his back subconsciously, and replied loudly like a conditioned reflex: "This subordinate obeys orders and will never disappoint the prince's expectations!"

"very good!"

Wei Yanxi showed a smile, nodded in satisfaction, and before Liang Weiduo could say anything, he stuffed the tiger amulet and the document into his arms, and went out to find Ying Yi.

Only Liang Wei was left holding those things alone, and it took him a long time to recover. He had a twitch just now, did he just take the burden of the coach directly?

Oh my God, what kind of pig brain is he!Comrade Liang Wei stared angrily at the black and shiny little tiger talisman in his hand, wishing he could crash his head on it...

Wei Yanxi has always been the kind of character who says that the wind is the rain, and this time is no exception, especially when Qi Yaoqing is involved. Ten elite soldiers set off.

It usually takes fifteen or six days at the fastest to travel from the border of Beidi to Kyoto, but now Wei Yanxi and the others are riding the best war horses, traveling day and night, and the shortest time is ten days.Whether the ten days are long or short, Wei Yanxi's thoughts are all about Qi Yaoqing, and she is afraid that something will happen in these ten days.

It was that day, just after they passed through the territory of Shu, the sky was gradually getting dark, and now it was the cold winter of March and September, with gusts of cold wind, and the cracks in human bones were covered with ice.

After several days of rushing day and night, even the iron body couldn't take it anymore, Wei Yanxi glanced at the exhausted and tired-looking soldiers, sighed, and asked Yingyi to find an inn to rest for the night.

Hearing that they were able to rest, everyone was naturally very happy, and the four of them got together at the table and started to gobble up.Although the food in this small inn is not very delicious, it is better than eating cold dry food every day these days!

It's a pity that although they ate happily, Wei Yanxi sat at the table with a gloomy face, didn't move her chopsticks, just stared at the dishes with a frown, not knowing what she was thinking.

"My lord, you haven't had a good meal these days, so take advantage of the hot food here today, so let's use some." Ying Yi put a bowl of rice in front of Wei Yanxi, persuading him.

"Ah."

Wei Yanxi let out a muffled snort, mechanically lifted up the chopsticks, picked up two mouthfuls of green vegetables, and started eating with rice.I don't know if it's because he's more timid near the hometown. The closer he is to the capital, the more flustered he feels.

"Hey, you said that the emperor is really true. The former queen hanged herself not long ago. Why did she set up another queen with great fanfare? The key point is that the one who was established died many years ago. Tsk tsk, it is said that the emperor is cold-hearted. Wrong..."

At the counter, maybe at night the shop didn't have much business, so the waiter chatted with the shopkeeper when he was free.

"Hey, you can't say such things!" The shopkeeper raised his hand and gave Xiaoer's head a thump, "How can we understand the emperor's thoughts, so please don't say a few words, although here The sky is high and the emperor is far away, but who knows when he will be caught!"

Xiao Er was taught such a lesson by him, touched his head embarrassingly, and said with a smile: "I just mentioned it casually. The former queen was so arrogant and domineering, and not many people would regret her death. But this posthumous Empress Duanshu, I heard that her brother is the Great General of Zhenxi, with a prominent family background, if she hadn't been framed by the former empress, who would be the empress now?"

"You said... who hanged himself?"

The two were talking happily, but they didn't notice that Wei Yanxi dropped the bowl and chopsticks at some point, walked up behind them, and grabbed Xiao Er by the neckline, staring at him and asking him.

"Ah, no...no one..." The little girl was startled so suddenly by him, her legs went limp, and she kept shaking her hands, "Master, please calm down, please calm down! Little...little I just said it casually, sir, please forgive the little one..."

Seeing that he was so frightened that he was about to cry, Wei Yanxi only felt irritated in his heart, threw him back to the shopkeeper, pointed to the shopkeeper and said, "Come on."

The shopkeeper was obviously frightened by him too, but after all, he was a few rounds older than the sophomore, and although his face was not very good-looking at the moment, he could manage to calm down and asked in a trembling voice: "This Lord, I don't know... I don't know what you want to ask, but the old man must know everything and say everything!"

The old shopkeeper can see that this man in black is a god. Although he looks handsome, the murderous look in his eyes is not two o'clock a year. From his appearance, it seems that the conversation between the two of them just touched him. Yes, as long as I make it clear, I should... be able to save my life...

"Just now you said that the queen hanged herself, and the emperor pursued General Zhenxi's sister as queen, what's going on?" Wei Yanxi asked coldly.

"Oh, that..." The old shopkeeper wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, tried his best to squeeze out a flattering smile, and explained: "My lord, you are from a foreign country. I'm afraid you don't know. According to Dao’s decree, it was verified by the Dali Temple that the Empress Qi’s collusion with the enemy and treason has abolished her empress position, and she is imprisoned in the cold palace, not to mention, even Sheng Guogong’s family has suffered great misfortune!”
