Chapter 28 Soldiers
Chapter 28 Soldier Talisman
Mu Xiaoxiao and her maid searched the entire Huixian Building, and finally found Pei Ce sleeping soundly in a remote wing.
"Master?" Mu Xiaoxiao pushed him.
"Yeah" Pei Ce murmured without opening his eyes.
Mu Xiaoxiao had no choice but to ask her maid to fetch water to wipe Pei Ce's face.
Feng Yuanshan died in Huixian Tower tonight, and the scheduled performance had to be cancelled. Mu Xiaoxiao could also stay and take care of Pei Ce.
"Girl, the water is here." Xiaojin came in with a basin.
Mu Xiaoxiao twisted the handkerchief and wiped Pei Ce's face carefully.
The young man was born handsome, and when he was drinking and riding horses, he was unrestrained and unrestrained. He had a mole of tears at the end of his eyes, which was flamboyant and unruly. Every time he laughed, he was like the most wanton gust of wind by the Yongding River.
Pei Ce felt someone beside him in a daze. He subconsciously thought that Feng Yuanshan was back and grabbed Mu Xiaoxiao's wrist.
"You're back?"
Mu Xiaoxiao was not suspicious and said: "Sir, didn't you say you were going back? Why are you here?"
Pei Ce heard her voice and tried to open his eyes: "Xiaoxiao. Are you done performing?"
"The performance is cancelled. I came over to see you."
"Oh" Pei Ce closed his eyes again, drooped his hand, and something fell from his sleeve.
Mu Xiaoxiao looked down and saw something similar to a military talisman lying on the ground. She picked it up. There were two words engraved on it: Yuanwu.
"Yuanwu." Mu Xiaoxiao lowered her head and thought, as if she had heard this word somewhere.
'The Yuanwu Guard will never be destroyed, and the Great Ying will exist forever.'
These were Feng Yuanshan’s words before his death!
Mu Xiaoxiao was startled, patted Pei Ce's face, and said solemnly: "Sir, have you seen anyone else tonight?"
Pei Ce's face hurt a little and he said vaguely: "People? I saw a lot of people tonight."
"No!" Mu Xiaoxiao asked in a different way, "Who sent you here tonight?"
Pei Ce rolled his eyes and said, "Yes, my brother."
As long as everyone in the capital calls you "Brother Pei", they are all your brothers!
Mu Xiaoxiao was speechless: "Do you still remember which friend it is? Is his name - Feng Yuanshan?"
"Well!" Pei Ce finally remembered, "Brother Feng asked me to do him a favor, and he also said he would come to me later."
Come on, this is another stab at your brother’s expense!
Mu Xiaoxiao poked his forehead angrily: "Sir, that good brother of yours is really good! He will never forget to drag you with him until the end of his life!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Sir, please be careful!" Mu Xiaoxiao continued, "Then Feng Yuanshan is dead."
"Dead?" Pei Ce was startled, and most of his drunkenness disappeared immediately, "How did you die?"
Seeing him like this, Mu Xiaoxiao obviously didn't know what happened in the Feng family, and no matter how much he could hear, it all fell to him.
"When the Feng family was ransacked today, Feng Yuanshan took advantage of the chaos and escaped. King Jing sealed the city to search, but who would have thought that you would run into him. Later, King Jing chased him and killed him on the spot."
Pei Ce's mind is a little confused. Why is his brother a fugitive?
Mu Xiaoxiao sighed, put the military talisman into his hand, and lowered his voice: "Master, do you recognize this thing?"
If her guess was correct, this should be what King Jing was looking for, and it was very important, but why did Feng Yuanshan give such an important thing to Pei Ce?
Pei Ce looked down and saw that he was very familiar with it as he grew up in the military. His originally chaotic mind suddenly became clear.
The Yuanwu Guards were an army of the previous dynasty that his father had been ordered to kill. Why did the military symbols that could mobilize the Yuanwu Guards appear here?
"Xiaoxiao, where did you come from?" Pei Ce asked.
"Sir, this thing fell out of your sleeve."
Pei Ce: "."
The remnants of the previous dynasty appeared in the capital, the military talisman was still in his hands, and his father was still the commander-in-chief who killed Yuan Wuwei back then. Pei Ce felt that he would not be able to clean himself up if he jumped into the Yellow River this time.
Drinking makes things worse! Drinking makes things worse!
"No, I have to go back quickly." With that, he stood up and left.
Mu Xiaoxiao quickly supported him: "Master, I'll have someone take you back, don't worry."
Pei Ce pushed her away, his eyes were extremely clear, and he said seriously: "No, Zefeng is outside. Xiaoxiao, you must not mention what happened tonight to anyone, understand?"
Mu Xiaoxiao also knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded solemnly: "I won't worry. Master, be careful on your way back. I won't send you off."
"Um."
Pei Ce stretched and raised his eyebrows at her and smiled: "Xiaoxiao, sir, I may not be able to visit you for the next two days. If anything happens, just ask someone to send a message to me."
"Well, okay." Mu Xiaoxiao looked at the young man's bright features, and his heart suddenly dropped.
The long lanterns burned out, the shadows of the trees swayed, and the streets were sparsely populated. Only soldiers wearing black armor patrolled back and forth. With the entire Feng family in jail and Feng Yuanshan escaping and being killed, everything seemed to have really returned to tranquility.
When Fu Mingjue returned to the palace, it was already late at night. He wanted to go back, but ended up in Lanhui Courtyard inexplicably.
Ling Youyao was still awake at this time. When she heard the noise, she put on her clothes and came out. She saw Fu Mingjue coming over the moon with a stern face. But what was different from the past was that tonight there was a touch of tiredness between his brows.
"It's so late and you're still not sleeping?" Fu Mingjue asked in surprise.
Ling Youyao said: "Can't sleep."
Fu Mingjue didn't ask, just walked into the back room, took off his coat and lay down.
Ever since she heard the name Feng Yuanshan, Ling Youyao always felt flustered and asked someone to inquire about the Feng family. Then she remembered that the Feng family was originally a wealthy family in the previous dynasty. After the country was destroyed, they became anonymous and lurked in the capital.
She remembered that after the Feng family was ransacked, the force behind it had not disappeared, and that force would be Fu Mingjue's biggest threat.
Ling Youyao stood beside the bed, looked at Fu Mingjue quietly, and suddenly asked: "Your Majesty, is Feng Yuanshan dead?"
"Why are you asking this?" Fu Mingjue suddenly opened his eyes.
"I just heard"
"Dead," Fu Mingjue interrupted her and closed his eyes again, "I killed him myself."
Ling Youyao lowered her eyes, and sure enough
Although Feng Yuanshan is dead, there is still one person who can control this force. Who is that person? Is he hiding somewhere in the capital, or in the palace?
After the silence, Fu Mingjue said: "Are you planning to watch me sleep?"
Ling Youyao retracted her wandering thoughts and gave an unnatural smile: "I'm worried about you, Your Majesty. There was turmoil in the city today and you didn't come back late at night. I'm feeling very panicked."
"Why are you worried about me?" Fu Mingjue's voice was very calm. "There are indeed many people who want to kill me, but I never take them seriously."
Ling Youyao pursed her lips and said, "You can take more people with you when you go out in the future. Jiang Liu alone is too few."
She couldn't remember many details, and all she could do now was to remind Fu Mingjue to be careful.
"Are you afraid that the king is dead?"
