Wei Chichong waited outside the Tianfu Palace for half an hour before he was allowed to meet inside. He slowly came behind Xue Shengkang and knelt on the ground: "The guilty minister Wei Chi Chong see Your Majesty!" Long live my emperor, long live! ”

Xue Shengkang didn't turn around, still turned his back to Wei Chichong, and said indifferently: "Why did Lao Aiqing enter the palace late at night? Did something really matter? "The old marshal, who had made great achievements in battle, did not stand up for the first time, and had already euphemistically expressed his dissatisfaction.

Wei Chi Chong said: "The old minister is here for what happened in the Red Mountain Hall. ”

Xue Shengkang nodded, then slowly turned around, his sharp gaze stared at Yu Chi Chong like a blade, and the majesty of the king oppressed Yu Chi Chong to feel suffocated by his breath. Xue Shengkang said coldly: "Are you guilty? ”

Wei Chichong said calmly: "The minister doesn't know what crime he has committed? ”

Xue Shengkang laughed, and he rushed a step towards Wei Chi: "The fourth prince of Heihu, Wanyan Chixiong, was killed, and the people in the entire Hongshan Hall can prove that Huo Shengnan did this thing!" Do you even know? ”

Wei Chi Chong said: "The old minister doesn't know! ”

Xue Shengkang said: "Wanyan Chixiong's murder has caused a lot of uproar, and you actually said that you didn't know about it?" Just said that you came here for the Hongshan Guild Hall, are you old and confused? ”

Wei Chi Chong said: "The old minister knew about the killing of Yan Chixiong, but His Majesty said that Huo Shengnan killed Yan Chixiong, and the old minister did not hear about it, nor did he see it with his own eyes. "The implication is that seeing is believing and hearing is false, although you are the emperor, you can't be so irresponsible when you speak, and blame Huo Shengnan for Wanyan Chixiong's death for no reason.

Xue Shengkang said: "The people of the entire Hongshan Guild Hall can prove it, will there be a mistake?" ”

Wei Chi Chong said: "Heihu is cunning in life, unscrupulous means to achieve the goal, over the years Shengnan has fought with me in the northern frontier, I don't know how many black-bearded soldiers have been killed. They have long hated Shengnan, and the words of the black bearded people are not enough to rely on, in the opinion of the old ministers, the reason why they say this is simply a discord! ”

Xue Shengkang nodded and said, "Okay!" Sure enough, he is Huo Shengnan's father-in-law, and he really loves her! ”

Wei Chi Chong said: "Lao Chen has always respected the facts, and will never affect his judgment because of family affection. ”

Xue Shengkang said: "I'll ask you." Why is Huo Shengnan not in Dali Temple? ”

Wei Chi Chong said: "The old minister is also very confused, Shengnan should be in Dali Temple, why did he leave suddenly?" Why was he framed as the real murderer of Wan Yan Chixiong? What is the reason for this? He actually understood the reason in his heart, it was because the seventh prince Xue Daoming spoke, and Dong Shufei's nephew Dong Tianjiang went to Dali Temple to find Huo Shengnan to investigate the matter of Qichen Palace, so Dali Temple would release people, but in front of Xue Shengkang, he could not tell the truth, with Xue Shengkang's ability, he should have already understood these situations, if more people are involved. I'm afraid things will get more and more troublesome. Implicating the royal family will only anger the emperor.

Xue Shengkang looked at Wei Chichong, who was fearless, and suddenly sighed and said, "You get up!" ”

Wei Chi stood up after thanking the emperor.

Xue Shengkang said: "You should know the consequences of Wanyan Chixiong's killing. ”

Wei Chi Chong said respectfully: "Your Majesty should also know that Katsuo has no reason to do such a thing. ”

Xue Shengkang said: "Dayong and Hei Hu finally came to this step of forming an alliance, and as soon as Yan Chixiong died, all the previous efforts were in vain, how could I not be angry?" ”

"Something has happened, and even if the emperor is angry again, it won't help. It is also necessary to face the reality as soon as possible and formulate countermeasures. Wei Chichong had already guessed the emperor's mind at this time. At least for now, he will not make any excessive moves towards himself, as he said to Huo Shengnan just now, Dayong's northern defense line is inseparable from himself, and dealing with the black-bearded people is inseparable from himself. As long as you still have the value of use, it will be safe for the time being.

Xue Shengkang said: "Tell me what you think." ”

Wei Chi Chong said: "The old minister is willing to immediately lead the army to the northern Xinjiang to garrison and ensure that the seven northern cities are foolproof." ”

Xue Shengkang sighed and said, "In case of war, it is also a last resort. Wanyan Chixiong's murder was an accident, and I sent an envoy to Heihu to explain the details, hoping to explain the misunderstanding. Although I am not afraid of war, I can avoid war. ”

Wei Chi Chong said: "How is Your Majesty going to talk about it?" "After Yan Chixiong was killed, the black-bearded people will never give up. Unless Dayong gives extremely generous compensation, this war is inevitable.

Xue Shengkang said: "Hand over the murderer and give compensation!" ”

Wei Chi Chong said: "Did His Majesty determine that Katsu Nan was the murderer?" ”

Xue Shengkang didn't speak, but his eyes had already made the best answer.

Wei Chi Chong said: "Have you ever thought about it, first there was an accident in Qichen Palace, Princess Dakang Anping was assassinated, and then there was an accident in the Hongshan Guild Hall, and the fourth prince of Heihu Wanyan Chixiong was killed, are there any connections between these things?" Why does everything point to Katsuo? Who's behind it? ”

Xue Shengkang said: "You ask me, I still want to ask you, why is this goddaughter of yours involved in both things?" He breathed a sigh of relief and added: "It has happened, and the priority is to eliminate the crisis rather than find the answer." ”

Wei Chi Chong said: "The old minister thinks that these things are coming at me, Your Majesty might as well hand me over, presumably these things can be completely calmed down." ”

Xue Shengkang suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart, Wei Chichong's words were clearly relying on the old and selling the old, and he was proud of his achievements, the old guy was sure that he didn't dare to move him lightly, so he threw out such words, Xue Shengkang said: "Both things are related to Huo Shengnan, it seems that she has already started planning, it is really a wolf ambition!" ”

Wei Chichong had already expected that Xue Shengkang would probably put all the blame on Huo Shengnan, and now it seemed that this was the case, and he said in a low voice: "The old minister has no way to teach, and I implore Your Majesty to punish the crime." ”

Xue Shengkang said: "I believe that you will not do anything to betray me and endanger Dayong, but Huo Shengnan is your righteous daughter after all, and she can't raise her godfather, she does such a thing, you also have an unshirkable responsibility, if I don't punish you, how can I convince the public?" ”

Wei Chichong bowed deeply and said: "Weichen is at the disposal of the emperor!" ”

Yan King Xue Shengjing Huo Ran woke up from his sleep, sat up from the intertwined legs of the two concubines beside him, his forehead was full of cold sweat, and his whole body was also sweating, and then he saw that the two concubines were still asleep, and he was not awakened by his movements, Xue Shengjing raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, got up and wanted to drink water, but found that there was already a white figure in the room, standing there, looking at himself motionlessly.

Xue Shengjing trembled for no reason, then quickly calmed down and said in a low voice, "When did you come?" ”

The man in white glanced at him casually with a pair of deep eyes: "Can a mere Yanwang Mansion stop me?" ”

Xue Shengjing felt a chill in his heart, fortunately she was not his enemy, if he was in a hostile position with her, he was afraid that his life would be in danger. He turned to look at the bed, only to realize that the two concubines were not sleeping too deeply, but had been manipulated.

The man in white said: "You don't have to worry, I didn't kill them!" ”

He whispered, "I've done what you asked me to do." ”

The man in white nodded and said, "Hu Xiaotian sneaked into the Red Mountain Hall to steal the Dingshen Pearl, and Wanyan Chixiong is already dead!" ”

"What?" Xue Shengjing exclaimed, his fists clenched tightly together because of nervousness.

The man in white said: "Are you scared?" Worried that someone would find out, you asked Hu Xiaotian to go to the Red Mountain Hall to steal the Ice Spirit Concentration Bead? ”

Xue Shengjing shook his head and said, "This matter has nothing to do with me, I don't know that the Concentration Bead is in the Red Mountain Guild Hall." He seemed to understand something, nodded slowly, and said, "It turns out that you deliberately asked me to put forward this condition, so that Hu Xiaotian and the others could sneak into the Red Mountain Hall and divert the attention of the Black Hu people?" After getting rid of Yan Chixiong, he will push this matter onto Hu Xiaotian. ”

The man in white sneered: "I really can't hide anything from you." ”

Xue Shengjing said: "Aren't you pushing me to the place of no return?" Thinking of the possible consequences of this incident, his clothes were suddenly soaked with cold sweat.

The man in white said indifferently: "Hu Xiaotian retreated, in fact, even if he is caught, there is no loss to you, you are good at everything, but you are too selfish." ”

Xue Shengjing was relieved when he heard that Hu Xiaotian retreated, in fact, the man in white was right, he was just begging for the Ice Spirit Fixing Divine Bead, and he didn't let him assassinate, even if he was caught, it had nothing to do with him. He secretly took a breath of cold air, reminded himself to calm down, and said softly: "Once Yan Chixiong dies, the alliance between Dayong and Heihu is no longer possible, and the Heihu people will invade my northern border under the banner of Xingshi and questioning their guilt."

The man in white said: "Are you scared? ”

Xue Shengjing let out a long sigh and said, "Things have come to this point, what's the use of me being afraid?" ”

The man in white threw him a bag of things.

Xue Shengjing was stunned and said, "What? ”

"What you need, there is some evidence of the collusion of the Dayong courtiers with the black beard."

Xue Shengjing was overjoyed when he heard this.

The man in white said: "I said a long time ago that you will not suffer if you cooperate with me." ”

Xue Shengjing nodded and said, "Thank you!" ”

The man in white glanced at him coldly and said, "Don't forget what you promised me." ”

Wanyan Chixiong's killing caused a rumor in the entire Yongdu City, and everyone was in danger. According to the current situation, the spearhead is all pointed at Huo Shengnan, although the black-bearded people claim that Dong Tianjiang is also involved, but the Dong family has made a public statement about this, Dong Tianjiang never left the Shangshu Mansion last night, and many people in the palace can testify to that the so-called accusations of the black-bearded people are purely false. At the same time, the Great Marshal's Mansion also made one thing clear, the sky-shaking bow used by the Grand Marshal Lieutenant Chi Chong was stolen, and it was the bow and arrow that shot Yan Chixiong. All of them prove that Huo Shengnan and Wanyan Chixiong's death are inextricably linked. (To be continued......) R1292
