At nine o'clock and six o'clock, a red sun slowly poked its head out from the horizon. The golden light burst out and pierced the white fish belly of the sky. The gorgeous morning glow was as red as fire, rendering the eastern sky extraordinarily enchanting. Get up early.
Birds are jumping and singing in the forest, unknown wild flowers are swaying in the wind, and the dewdrops on the grass tips are shining like gems in the sun. It all seems so quiet and peaceful, but the hillside
The corpses that can be seen everywhere clearly declare how fierce the battle last night was. Although the royal guards guarding outside the tent are all experienced in the battlefield, looking at the mess on the ground,
However, he still had some fear in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but have a bit of reverence in his eyes as he glanced at the back of Xiao Weizhi, who was looking at the sunrise in the distance.
With eight hundred against five thousand, even if the real fighting power of those bandits is not that outstanding, under such a disparity in strength, it is not easy to maintain a tie, let alone a big victory. But under Xiao Wei
After some arrangements, not only did they win, but they could be said to be complete. With only a small price of sixty injuries and forty deaths, the three major bandits who had been rampant in Guanzhong for many years were completely wiped out in one fell swoop. Six hundred of them were killed and captured alive.
More than two thousand, this kind of victory is not something ordinary people can achieve. Even the old prince probably did not have such majesty back then. What's even more rare is that under such a great victory, Xiao Wei was not so excited that he couldn't sleep all night.
Instead of being busy interrogating the prisoners, he actually slept until dawn. How could he not be greatly admired by the guards for his magnanimity and calm demeanor?
Are you excited? A little bit, Xiao Wei is actually quite proud of being able to achieve such a great result, but now Xiao Wei is not thinking about the battle that is over, and he doesn't even think about who is behind it.
He was trying to trick himself behind his back, but he was thinking about how he should take the next step - the mission to Yanxi seemed to be Xiao Wei's own wish, but Xiao Wei himself understood that there was something behind all this.
Several invisible hands are moving. The masterminds behind these scenes are all giants, and none of them are simple goods. It is not easy to protect yourself under the hands of these giants. This time, they were attacked like this by the three bandits of Guanzhong.
Xiao Wei felt that he had imagined things too simply before, and Xiao Wei couldn't see clearly what to do next.
"Mistress, mistress, haha, I've done it, those three guys have all done it, haha, am I good?" Just as Xiao Wei was deep in thought, Fatty Tang ran up to him and danced, shouting excitedly.[
"Huh?" Xiao Wei came to his senses when Fatty Tang yelled like this. He looked back at Fatty Tang and said softly, but he didn't look too excited.
Fatty Tang just made a rough line and didn't care what Xiao Wei's expression was. He boasted to himself: "Those Three Bears are still so arrogant and so 'fucky'. As soon as I hit them, they all softened up. Hey."
, one move is faster than the other, haha, Xiaosan, I must be awesome..."
"Awesome, awesome, okay, let's go and talk to the tent." In addition to the dead killer, there are definitely a lot of spies from all sides in the caravan. Xiao Wei doesn't want this matter to be publicized so that everyone knows about it.
, this interrupted Fatty Tang’s bragging angrily, frowned and snorted, turned around and walked towards the big tent not far away.
"Hey, wait for me." Fatty Tang was stunned when he saw that Xiao Wei's expression was not right. When he saw Xiao Wei walking away without looking back, he shouted loudly and hurried away.
Up.
"What? Say it again?" In the big tent, Xiao Wei had just heard the results of Fatty Tang's interrogation. He was immediately startled. He glared and roared. This was not to blame for Xiao Wei's loss of composure. It was Tang Da.
The fat man's words were a bit too shocking - Ximen Haiyun was indeed Pinglu and Liu Tietao's secret stooge as Chen Huainan said. He was placed in Guanzhong as a bandit. In addition to monitoring Yanxi, he was also capable of causing chaos.
"When Chen Huainan explained the court's intentions last night, Xiao Wei judged that this matter was most likely true. Now when he heard the fat man say it again, he was even more convinced, but not too surprised. As for
The identity of Liu Mingqi, who was captured first, was even simpler. He was just a bandit with no other background. However, Chen Huainan's true identity left Xiao Wei confused - this guy turned out to be Yan Xi.
This person, who joined forces with Ximen Haiyun, actually received the order from Yan Xi, so Xiao Wei couldn't help but turn pale with shock.
"Xiao San, don't you worry about me doing things? You know, I am..." When Fatty Tang saw Xiao Wei being frightened, he immediately started chattering unhappily and told him one by one how he tortured the three bandits.
The punishments such as "ants climbing a tree" and "candied haws of sugar" were listed one by one, and Xiao Wei felt cold sweat break out on his forehead - ants climbing a tree, this name sounds like a famous dish, but when it comes to Tang Dafatty's
Under the hands, that is first-class torture. It is simple to say, that is, apply honey on the prisoner's soles of the feet, armpits and other itchy areas, and then find a nest of ants, and let the ants crawl and bite them.
The heart-wrenching itching is really something that no one can bear. As for the "candied haws of sugar", it is even more cruel. To put it bluntly, it means inserting bamboo sticks into the nails of the hands and feet, and there is no one who can resist it.
Common.
This damn fat guy is really ruthless. He has a little bit of the potential of Junchen. Being a businessman is really an underachievement! Xiao Wei glanced at Fatty Tang with a black line on his forehead and muttered to himself, but he was thinking very hard.
It quickly turned to the purpose of Chen Huainan's move - according to Xiao Wei, under the torture of Fatty Tang, Chen Huainan's recruitment should be credible. In this way, Yan Xi's sincerity would be
This is very suspicious. The question is, what benefits will Liu Xiaoquan, the grandfather, get from killing himself?
Family ties? For those who aspire to the world, this thing is just a cloud, not even a fart. Xiao Wei is in the royal family, so he is already familiar with such things, but it is not like Ah Q.
He thought that a strong man like Liu Xiaoquan would be reluctant to kill him just because he was his grandson. However, no matter how hard Xiao Wei thought about it, he still could not figure out the reason why Liu Xiaoquan wanted to kill him. Logically speaking, this time Xiao Wei went to
Yanxi is an olive branch extended by Liu Xiaoquan. Otherwise, Xiao Wei would not have thought of going to Yanxi. Now that we are already halfway there, Chen Huainan suddenly appears. What is strange here? Could it be?
There is a big chaos in Yanxi. Is Liu Xiaoquan able to control the situation?
It's possible, the possibility is not that high! Xiao Wei thought of the news he had learned about Yanxi. Although it was just vague information, the internal and external difficulties in Yanxi were probably true, and it was very possible to assign someone to
Chen Huainan's murderer was Liu Xiaoquan's enemy. Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that Liu Xiaoquan plotted against him and put the blame on someone else, thereby inducing his father and mother to come forward. What is the specific possibility? As far as we know at the moment
Judging from the situation, it is really difficult to judge the truth from the truth. Thinking about the mysterious killer carrying the token of "A Thirteen", Xiao Wei can conclude one thing, that is, there are many people who do not want to arrive in Yanxi by themselves.
The way down was probably not going to be easy. Xiao Wei couldn't help but think about whether he should continue walking.
"Xiaosan, my mouth is dry from what I said. Did you listen or not? I'm so angry!" Fatty Tang babbled for a long time. He suddenly realized that Xiao Wei was distracted, and he immediately became anxious.
, angrily slapped Xiao Wei, and said angrily.
"Listen, listen." Xiao Wei was very upset. He reached out impatiently and patted Fatty Tang's fat hand away, frowning and said: "Fat man, who else knows about what you said before, huh?"
"Only Ningnan and Ningbei know that I have sent everyone else away. Hey, don't worry about me doing the work." Fatty Tang said with a proud smile.
"Well, that's good." Xiao Wei nodded thoughtfully, thought about it again, and then put it close to Fatty Tang's ear, lowered his voice and said: "Fat man, give you a task, that Ximen Hai
Neither Yun nor Chen Huainan can stay, so I asked the Ning brothers to find a safe way to deal with them."
"Ah..." When Fatty Tang heard this, his mouth immediately opened into an O-shape, and he looked at Xiao Wei stupidly, and did not come back to his senses for a long time.
"Hurry up and go!" Xiao Wei didn't bother to explain the strangeness. He glared and scolded angrily - Ximen Haiyun and Chen Huainan are just two hot potatoes. If you really want to keep them in your arms, how can they be so sure?
I have been burned, and I have understood the things that need to be understood. If you keep them, it will be a disaster. If you need to get rid of it, you can get rid of it. Xiao Wei is not a Bodhisattva-hearted person. He does not have so many good virtues. He can't kill everyone.
Even if he has his head in trouble, he still treats these bastards as Bodhisattvas. Besides, these two guys are too involved, and it would be troublesome to leave them in the hands of the court. They should simply get rid of them and finish them off once and for all.
"Ah, yes, that's good, I'll go right now!" Although Fatty Tang couldn't figure out why Xiao Wei gave this order, he didn't dare to disobey Xiao Wei's order. After muttering, he withdrew happily.
I went to look for the Ning brothers without mentioning the big account.
"Your Highness, the king wants to see you." As soon as Fatty Tang left, a guard on duty outside the account walked in and reported loudly.
"Tell him to come in." Last night was busy, Xiao Wei only hurriedly met with the Lin family brothers who came to help. Before he had time to ask Wang Shu about his trip, when he heard that Wang Shu came to ask for an audience, he did not hesitate.
He waved his hand.
"My subordinate, Wang Ye, has met the young prince." Wang Ye is also an old guard who has followed Xiao Wei for many years, but he is not as close as the Ning family brothers. At this time, when he saw Xiao Wei sitting at the top, he was quite a little jealous.
Nervous, I hurriedly bowed and saluted before seeing you again.[
Although the reinforcements brought by Wang Shu were not a help in times of need, they played a big role in quickly defeating the three major bandits. Xiao Wei was very polite to such meritorious people and stood up, very kindly.
He said quietly: "Wang Guard, no courtesy, you worked hard last night, Xiao Wang will remember it in his heart."
Wang De has been following Xiao Wei for a long time, but he still can't figure out what kind of person Xiao Wei is. He originally thought that Xiao Wei is a mischievous master, with a little ability at most. But after last night's battle, he suddenly discovered that this little
The master was not as simple as he seemed on the surface. When he saw Xiao Wei standing up, he hurriedly said humbly: "Young prince, you are wrong about the award. This is what a subordinate should do."
"Well, the word "duty" is the most rare thing. If you can stick to your duty, it is very valuable. That's all, let's not talk about it." Xiao Wei smiled and waved his hand and said: "Xiao Wang has never heard you talk about the specific facts in detail.
, Well, Xiao Wang is quite curious about the Lin brothers, so let me tell you the details."
"Yes, I obey." Since Xiao Wei asked, Wang Ye did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly described in detail how he met the Lin brothers and the various performances of the Lin brothers in the battle last night.
Xiao Wei's eyes couldn't help but light up after hearing this...
