Chapter 1833: Night Thorn

The man sneered: "We were sent by King Ren to assassinate Ximen Yi, and turn around to blame the people of the Qin State, if you don't believe it, I have nothing to say." Although his perseverance was amazing, his kneecap was broken by Chu Huan, and the pain was very bearable, and beads of sweat on his forehead came out.

Chu Huan let go of his hand and slowly stood up, the man breathed sharply twice, and just raised his head, but saw that Chu Huan actually kicked over and kicked the person in the head, and the person was kicked to the ground, and he immediately fainted.

The post house in the middle of the night was as silent as death, not far from the courtyard where Chu Huan was, and there were lights on in another courtyard.

Xue Huai'an stood at the window in the room, looking at the few trees in the courtyard in a daze.

Xue Huai'an came suddenly, unlike someone who reported before Chu Huan arrived at Weiling Mansion, so the courtyard was just simply cleaned up, which was not as clean and tidy as Chu Huan's.

It's just that Xue Huai'an naturally has no intention of caring about these things now.

Before he set off on this trip, he knew that this trip was not a good errand, Xu Chang was able to kill the master and stand on his own, which proved that he was a ruthless person, such a person, no matter what kind of thing he did, Xue Huaian would not feel strange.

As soon as he arrived in Weiling today, he was inexplicably involved in the killing of Xu Yu, which made Xue Huaian really helpless, in his plan, after coming to announce the decree, he lobbied with his own three-inch tongue, whether it was successful or not, he only felt that Xu Chang should not be too embarrassed by himself, and he would soon be able to return to Hexi.

But involved in the murder of Xu Yu, Xu Chang didn't even give himself the opportunity to read the holy decree, and it was already wishful thinking to leave Jinling as much as possible, and if it was not good, I am afraid that even his life would be lost here.

It's just that he didn't expect that Chu Huan would also come to Jinling.

Xue Huai'an never doubted Chu Huan's courage, but Chu Huan is now the king of Chu, but he still broke into this Longtan tiger's den, which really surprised Xue Huai'an.

Xue Huai'an actually knows very well that once he exposes Chu Huan's true identity today, Chu Huan will definitely be in trouble, like a ghost, he actually covers up for Chu Huan, and now that he thinks about it, Xue Huaian is doubting whether his choice at that time was correct.

In the dead of night, Xue Huai'an smiled bitterly and shook his head, he accompanied the emperor on his northern tour, but his family members stayed in the capital, he had a very good relationship with Mrs. Xue, after the fall of the capital, he had been worried about Mrs. Xue's safety, whenever he heard someone mention that the capital was occupied by bandits, and the blood flowed like a river, Xue Huai'an felt extremely heavy.

He also privately sent someone to the capital to find Mrs. Xue and her family, but at this time, only people fled from the capital, how could anyone dare to go to the capital, Xue Huai'an knew that even if the subordinates did not dare to disobey the order and reluctantly left, I am afraid that they would run away halfway, and they could only hand over the belongings they carried to the subordinates, and claimed that there was a heavy reward for finding Mrs. Xue, but after the person went, there was no news.

There are not a few officials like Xue Huai'an, they all privately send people to the capital to inquire about the news, and almost all of them never return.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xue Huai'an was a little tired, walked to the bed, and was about to lie down, but saw the light flashing from the window, as if something was over there, he was puzzled, and walked over, but before he got closer, he heard a voice from outside the door: "Have you rested?" ”

Xue Huai'an stopped and asked, "I haven't rested yet, is there anything wrong?" He turned and walked to the door, opened the door, and saw only one of the strongsuit guards standing in front of the door.

Seeing Xue Huai'an open the door, this man arched his hand and said, "My lord, I still have to disturb at such a late hour, please forgive me." ”

"It doesn't matter." Xue Huai'an said tiredly: "What's the matter? ”

This strong-clothed guard is the captain of the guard who came with Xue Huai'an on this trip, for this time Xue Huai'an came to Jinling, Dingwu also attached great importance to it, although he did not send many soldiers to escort him with great fanfare, but the guards who came with him were all selected, eight guards, five of whom were selected from the elite of the Royal Guard, and the other three were all subordinate to the Shenyi Guard, two Shenyi captains, plus the one in front of him called Wang Weiyang, and Wang Weiyang was the leader of the guards.

Wang Weiyang was unbearable for Xue Huai'an, but he glanced inside the house, and then said softly: "My lord, my subordinates have learned that Xu Yu died in the post house, and my subordinates are worried that there are assassins here, so they want to check it to ensure the safety of the adults." ”

Xue Huai'an knew that Wang Weiyang was also kind, nodded, and Wang Weiyang carefully checked the inside of the house, and said softly: "My lord, the food and water here should not be eaten lightly, in case someone poisons it, and his subordinates are guarding outside the door, but if there is something, the adult will summon it." ”

Xue Huai'an smiled and said, "It's hard for you, there are Jinling soldiers guarding here, and it's not a big problem to think about it." You've worked hard all the way, and you've all had a good rest, yes, did everyone else sleep? ”

"Lord Hui, there are eight of us, divided into two shifts, and we take turns on duty." Wang Weiyang said: "Although there are many Jinling soldiers, it is not difficult for real assassins to sneak in. The three outer floors of this post house seem to be tightly defended, but in the eyes of the subordinates, there are many loopholes, and it is easy for subordinates to sneak in. ”

Xue Huai'an is convinced of this, Shenyiwei is a good hand at lurking assassination, the four thousand households are all unique figures, and the twelve hundred households are also good at this.

"My lord, when you rest at night, the windows must be closed and the bolts must be fastened." Wang Weiyang was sure that there was no danger in the house, and when he saw that the window was open, he admonished as he walked over.

Xue Huai'an suddenly said: "Wang Baihu, there is something that the official wants to tell you." ”

Wang Weiyang stopped, turned around, and arched his hand: "My lord has a command, just speak up." ”

Xue Huai'an hesitated for a moment before he approached and said softly: "This time we came, I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious, if there is a chance, you can leave Jinling with others, don't worry about me." ”

Wang Weiyang was stunned and said in a low voice: "Why did your lord say this? He sneered: "Could it be that Xu Chang really dares to do something to adults?" ”

"It's not Xu Chang." Xue Huaian shook his head and said: "Xu Yu was killed, if there is no accident in this matter, it should be someone who wants to sow discord, and the other party can kill Xu Yu in the post house, and his strength will definitely not be weak." ”

Wang Weiyang lowered his voice and asked, "Don't you think it's the hands of those people in the northwest?" ”

Xue Huaian shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, Chu Chuhuan's subordinates shouldn't be so confused, so if they put themselves in trouble." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Whoever it is, we're in a very dangerous situation." Xue Huai'an smiled bitterly: "It is very likely that this official will not be able to get out of this Weiling City, if this is the case, you don't have to sacrifice in vain, if you can leave alive, just leave." ”

Wang Weiyang said solemnly: "The Holy Lord ordered his subordinates to protect the Lord, as long as the subordinates are alive, they must protect the Lordship and return to Hexi safely." ”

Xue Huai'an waved his hand, opened his mouth, and stopped talking, Wang Weiyang asked, "Do you have any other orders?" ”

"This!" Xue Huaian hesitated for a moment before he said: "There is a matter that is inconvenient to speak, but there is indeed a matter of unresolved, although hey, forget it!" ”

"Is there anything embarrassing for you?" Wang Weiyang naturally observed his ability to observe words and colors, "The adults have taken great care of us along the way, if there is anything that can be served, the adults can just speak." ”

Xue Huai'an thought for a while, and then lowered his voice and said: "Wang Baihu, you are a god clothed guard, and you are not subject to the control of the various divisions and yamen, so naturally I can't give orders to you, there is a matter that I want to entrust to you as a private person." ”

Wang Weiyang saw that Xue Huai'an's expression was gloomy, and between his words, he seemed to doubt that he could leave Weiling alive, and nodded: "My lord, please speak." ”

"I accompanied the first emperor to the north of Hexi, and I have not been in contact with my family since then, and after the fall of the capital, there is no news at all!" Xue Huai'an smiled bitterly: "I want to!" ”

Wang Weiyang said: "Do you want me to go to the capital to find my family?" ”

"This makes you embarrassed, I also know it, Wang Baihu, this matter is still over, this!" Xue Huai'an was a little upset, and his words were also upside down.

Wang Weiyang not only looked tired when he saw Xue Huai'an, but even his spirit was a little trance, he hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "My lord, my subordinates dare not guarantee that they will personally go to the capital to find out the whereabouts of your family, but my subordinates promise you that they will send people to the capital, and no matter what, they will also find out their situation." ”

Xue Huai'an's face suddenly showed excitement, grabbed Wang Weiyang's arm, and even showed gratitude in his eyes, and said: "Wang Wang Baihu, if this is the case, I will definitely have a good reward." ”

Wang Weiyang shook his head and smiled: "The subordinates are not for any good reward, the adults have a lot of worries along the way, and they have always been thinking about their families, and the adults are affectionate and righteous, and the subordinates are naturally trying their best to help." My lord, it's late at night, and I don't know what else to ask for next, so you better rest early, recharge your energy, and no matter what happens, we will try our best to deal with it. ”

Xue Huai'an nodded, Wang Weiyang walked to the window, to help Xue Huai'an close the window, at this time, a soft sound, the oil lamp in the room suddenly went out, and it was suddenly dark, Wang Weiyang had already walked to the window at this time, saw the light went out, his face sank, and he said in a deep voice: "Be careful!" He knew that the light was going out, and knew that things were not good, so he wanted to return to Xue Huai'an's side, and at this time, the cold air hit, and from outside the window, a cold light went straight to Wang Weiyang's throat.

Wang Weiyang reacted very quickly, quickly retreated, and between retreats, he had already pulled out the saber on his waist and slashed it diagonally.

The sword aura is frosty, and the cold is pressing.

Xue Huai'an was in the dark, he couldn't adapt for a while, he couldn't see clearly at all, he heard the sound of weapons fighting, and he also knew that things were not good, so he lost his voice and said: "Wang Baihu!" ”

Wang Weiyang knew that the target at this moment must be Xue Huai'an, and wanted to get close to Xue Huai'an's side, but the figure outside the window had already rushed into the house, the swordsmanship was sharp, and in a sword light, Wang Weiyang couldn't get out of his body at all, the other party went all out, although Wang Weiyang's martial arts were not weak, but he was worried, and with a sound of "Zi", the other party's sword blade had hit Wang Weiyang's shoulder, and the sword qi of the sword blade suddenly penetrated into Wang Weiyang's skin.
