Ji Ting pondered for a moment, then smiled and raised his eyes: "This matter is not difficult, but I don't understand. After the emperor ascended the throne, he didn't embarrass the Yongchang Houfu anymore. Why do you insist on killing him?"

"Are you reasoning with me?" Xiao Shizi stood up with his hands on the edge of the table, his fingertips turned slightly white from too much force, and he said in a hoarse voice, "What's the reason for my whole family to die in vain?"

Ji Ting was at a loss for words for a moment, pursed his lips and did not answer.

Xiao Shizi walked around the table, pulling his skirt and trembling his lips: "I dress up like this all day long, and live in a dark and dirty corner. You tell me to let go of my hatred...why?"

When Ji Ting returned to the General's Mansion with a heavy heart, it was already dark, and it was rare to see the bright lights in the courtyard when he opened the door.

He casually called in a young servant to ask, only to find out that his brother was at home tonight. Since the old general passed away, the general's mansion was no less deserted than Yongchang Hou's mansion.

Ji Ting stretched his eyebrows a little, and asked, "Did my brother fall asleep?"

"Not yet, the major general ordered me to prepare some food and wine, and said that he wanted to enjoy the moon."

He Yang himself was not that carefree, he just set up a Hongmen banquet and waited for his silly brother to come back. However, before the food and wine were on the table, people had already arrived.

"Brother, does your old injury still hurt?"

Ji Ting picked an unpleasant topic, sat opposite He Yang, with gentle eyes.

In fact, after revealing all the truth, the problems faced by the brothers were all sharp and difficult, but He Yang smiled and let go of the heavy emotion: "I get used to the pain, if you don't touch it, you will be fine."

Ji Ting lowered his eyelashes, and was just about to speak, but the servants walked into the pavilion with wine and dishes, just in time to stop talking.

Once some things were interrupted, he lost the determination to speak again. Ji Ting silently picked up the wine glass, poured himself a drink, and his face turned red after a while.

He Yang was still leisurely and calm, with a clear expression, looking up at the bright moonlight at a 45-degree angle.

The system couldn't help urging.

[If you don't do business again, the silly brother over there is going to drink himself down. 】

He Yang sighed softly and shook the jug: "You have finished drinking my old wine, what should I drink?"

"...Well, that's not it." Ji Ting was already drunk, stared at He Yang with his chin propped up and said, "This is the daughter red sold in ordinary wine shops, brother, you are the best at lying, don't tell me anything. "

"Well, it seems that I'm not drunk yet." He Yang nodded, a sly smile flashed in his eyes.

Ji Ting shook his head, managed to regain some sense of sobriety, stood up with the support of the table, staggered, walked behind He Yang, leaned against his ear as he did when he was a child, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, if one day I do In order to make you sad, will you deny my brother?"

He Yang turned his head, his eyes met within a short distance, and Ji Ting suddenly shivered for no reason.

"It depends on what it is." He Yang said calmly, grabbed Ji Ting's collar and threw him back on the chair: "You killed Han Ye on your own initiative, have I pursued you?"

"Damn it—" Ji Ting took advantage of the drink and looked at He Yang aggrievedly: "Brother, everything I do is for you."

He Yang was unmoved, and his eyes warned: "Let me say this one last time, you heard clearly, don't meddle in my affairs, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."

【Eh, that's all? 】

The system couldn't help asking questions, and He Yang looked indifferent: What do you think?

【Order him, or coax him like you did before? 】

He Yang glanced down at Ji Ting, who was completely drunk, and sneered: You don't understand, the more I stop him at this time, the more he insists.

【I see. 】

The system couldn't respond for a while, and it was a little stuck. He Yang was worried that it would short-circuit and smoke in his mind, so he explained:

"Teacher Shen escaped from the prison and ascended to heaven by chance. He must be in a mess. He is eager to ask the envoy behind him for instructions on the next step. What I have to do is very simple, and I will help them create an opportunity."

Ruyi Inn, Tianzihao Room

The hunchbacked figure outside the window was reflected on the window, and as the candle flickered, the shadow continued to elongate.

The knock on the door was extremely short, revealing the person's anxious mood. After a long while, a deep voice finally came from the room.

The door opened, and a barbarian dressed as a businessman was sitting on a chair, with a masked man holding a machete standing behind him.

Taifu Shen would be taken aback by the hideous patterns on the mask every time, but this time he had no time to show it, he hurriedly knelt down at Hu Shang's feet, and begged in a low voice: "Little Khan, Ji Xiao has now controlled the inside and outside of the palace, we It was hard to save a life, you have to save me."

"Take off your claws." The man called Little Khan didn't even lift his eyelids, his strong and thick arms rested on his legs carelessly, and his voice was deep and deep.

Taifu Shen didn't dare to make a mistake, so he retreated a little distance obediently, looked eagerly at the man above his head and said: "I have been following the arrangement of the little Khan for so many years, and I dare not slack off in the slightest, is it possible that the little Khan intends to break his word? "

"What's the rush?" The little Khan sneered, and looked down at the people on the ground contemptuously, his eyes were like looking at ants: "I'm not living well now, and I can speak well."

Taifu Shen became even more anxious, sweat broke out on his forehead, and tremblingly said: "It's because of the emperor's order that I was able to escape from the prison by luck."

"Hahaha... That kid believed you so much back then."

Little Khan laughed sarcasticly, and changed his voice: "Since this is the case, you can't live up to his trust. The emperor is trapped in the palace. As long as you get the token to command the guards in the imperial city, you will be famous as a teacher. At that time, we should cooperate internally and externally, and we will promise you that there will be nothing less."

Taifu Shen's eyes were shining, greedy in his eyes, and he said excitedly: "After years of planning, the success or failure depends on one action. Congratulations to Little Khan in advance!"

The door opened and closed, and the room returned to silence. The masked man observed the little Khan's expression silently and said, "Do you have any doubts? That old guy is not trustworthy?"

"No, a person with desire is the easiest to manipulate, and he won't betray me at the last moment."

"That's because..." the masked man turned his body sideways, with a puzzled tone.

Little Khan frowned, and recalled: "Ji Xiao and I have been fighting in the customs for many years. When we met by chance on the street, I thought he would do something later, but I didn't expect that he didn't seem to recognize me at all. It's too weird."

"Then let the subordinates go and spy on him to see what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd."

Little Khan thought for a moment, then shook his head: "I'll go in person."

next day

The general's mansion received a greeting card, and Ji Ting was still hungover, so his servants delivered it to He Yang.

"What else did the messenger say?"

He Yang glanced at ten lines, his complexion was clueless.

The boy bowed his head and replied: "The man didn't say anything, he just prepared the sedan chair and is still waiting at the door."

"Understood." He Yang put the greeting card on the case casually, got up and walked outside, before stepping out of the threshold, he turned around and said: "You don't need to tell Ji Ting about my going out."

"Yes, Major General."

【You left the greeting post behind, Ji Ting will definitely be able to guess where he is when he wakes up. 】

The system kindly reminded, but He Yang was unmoved: Well, I did it on purpose.

The letter of worship was sent in the name of Liu Yun, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The handwriting and seal are all right, and the content is even more ordinary.

He handled things smoothly and there was nothing wrong with it. If the timing was not too delicate, He Yang would have believed it.

Liu Yun is not Gu Huaishan. He has been in the officialdom for many years and climbed to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance. Said to send greetings here in a grand manner.

[So this is the 'opportunity' you mentioned last night? 】

He Yang snapped his fingers silently, and praised: "It's not easy, but I guessed it right once."But what they did so obviously was only the first test, and I had to continue to play this drama to the end.

【It's indeed a good plan to push the boat with the current, but you don't have the power to protect yourself now. What if the mastermind behind the Shen family kills you, wouldn't it be...】

He Yang opened the car curtain calmly, closed his eyes and meditated with the shaking frequency of the car: So I left a clue for Ji Ting, hoping that he can save his brother in time.

【…】

The system held back for a long time, shutting itself in place, and He Yang's mind was also cleared.In fact, his actions are very risky, as long as one of the links goes wrong, the consequences will be disastrous.

If he adopts a more secure countermeasure, he can ignore this trap directly and lay out according to the original plan, but if the other party is aware of it, it will be difficult to eradicate the root cause, and Ji Xiao's planning for so many years will come to naught.

"In my remaining days, there is only so much I can do." He Yang sighed, curled up his lips, and said to himself.

I don't know how long it took, the sound of the market gradually disappeared in my ears, and an imperceptible strange fragrance spread from around the hanging sachet, He Yang took it out boredly and took a look, the workmanship was very exquisite.

[This is a secret spice made by the barbarian, which will make people lose all their martial arts in a short period of time. 】

"Unfortunately, it's useless to me."

[Indeed, your force value is now zero. 】

As soon as the system spoke, the sedan was jolted.

He Yang opened the curtain, surrounded by green bamboos, it seems that he has already left the imperial city.

Not far away, a man in black wearing a metal mask descended from the sky, with a scimitar in his hand flashing coldly, and came to his eyes in an instant.

From this point of view, he was a top-notch killer. He didn't go through the process, and the purpose was to kill him with one blow. He Yang dodged sideways, turned out of the window, and escaped two moves in a thrilling manner.

[The rescuers are here. 】

"elder brother--"

Riding on a horse, Ji Ting bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot through the wrist of the man in black just a second before the scimitar pierced He Yang's throat.

Just as Ji Ting was about to pursue the victory, a caravan happened to pass by at this time. The carriage was full of goods and smoke billowed in, just blocking the way. After stopping, a Hu merchant poked his head out and asked in a rough voice: "What's going on, I need help reporting officer?"

He Yang shook his head, looking a bit embarrassed: "No, thank you."

"Brother, how are you? Are you injured?" Ji Ting was worried, got off his horse and came to his side, and asked anxiously, "Why didn't you fight back just now? If I came a little later, something would happen."

"Someone tampered with the sachet." He Yang pressed his chest, his face was extremely pale.

Ji Ting was very anxious, but due to the presence of outsiders, he said calmly: "Let's go back first."

Hu Shang looked at this scene with cold eyes, and suddenly his face changed, and he stepped forward to help him enthusiastically: "I am going out of the city to buy goods, and I happen to have a carriage, why don't I give you a ride."

Ji Ting pursed his lips, a look of vigilance flashed in his eyes, he was about to refuse, but He Yang grabbed his wrist with great strength.

"If that's the case, then it's time to work." He Yang turned his head and smiled kindly at Hu Shang: "I don't know what your name is?"
