Wang Wei put down his tea bowl, a trace of helplessness appeared on his wrinkled face.
He tightened the cloak tightly with his withered hands, looked up to the sky and sighed: "Finally, do you still have to take this road?"
Wang Ming was silent.
a long time.
Wang Wei regained his composure and looked at Wang Ming: "Guo Ziyun, are you dead?"
"We sent dead soldiers to chase him, but we haven't received news of his death yet," Wang Ming said.
Wang Wei nodded and said gloomily: "The leakage of the account book has nothing to do with this old man. If you dare to deal with my Wang family, this is the fate!"
After saying that, he patted Wang Ming heavily on the shoulder: "Go and send dead soldiers to ambush on the way back to the imperial capital from Zhuma City. Xiao Jian must have been rushing to the imperial capital at that time, so he sent more people and didn't want to be killed.
He, but he cannot come to the imperial capital before the ugly time tomorrow!"
Wang Ming nodded: "Yes, father, I will do it immediately!"
After the others left, Wang Wei shouted again: "Lin Fu!"
A powerful man walked in from the door. He was the head of the palace guard and Wang Wei's confidant.
"Master, what are your orders?"
"Help me make an appointment with the Ninth Prince."
…
late at night.
Qin Yun couldn't sleep no matter what, he couldn't sit still!
Just because it was so calm on the eve of the storm.
The spies and spies deployed, whether inside or outside the palace, had no information at all.
Especially when the shadow guard came to report that everything was as usual in Wang Wei's house.
Such an important thing as the account book was lost, and since he summoned many generals back to the imperial capital to report on their duties, it was impossible for Wang Wei not to notice it.
It was not until late at night that Eunuch Xi secretly came to report that Lord Zhao Heng had transferred 5,000 armors from outside and had entered the palace in batches, so he felt more at ease.
"Your Majesty, are you still not sleeping?" Concubine Xiao Shu lowered her head and gently massaged Qin Yun with her delicate hands.
Qin Yun smiled bitterly: "How can I sleep? The Wang family is about to be eradicated. I am a little excited and a little worried. I will succeed this time!"
"Once you fail, you will face eternal regret."
Concubine Xiao Shu behaved very calmly.
She slid her slender fingers across the outline of Qin Yun's face and said softly: "Your Majesty, no matter what happens, Xiang'er will stay with you until death."
Qin Yun smiled movingly and held her jade hand. It was warm and comfortable.
"Don't worry, I am the Nine-Five Supreme Being, I will not lose."
"When this matter is over, I will make you my queen."
Concubine Xiao Shu raised her red lips and her black hair fell like a waterfall: "Your Majesty, these are not the most important things to me. The most important thing is that we can be together as before."
"That's natural." Qin Yun nodded, resting on her pink and white jade legs, closing his eyes and enjoying it, with countless images flashing through his mind.
In this way, the night was spent.
On the eve of the storm, nothing happened in the imperial capital.
Qin Yun went to court as usual the next day and handled government affairs as usual, including account books and the false transmission of imperial edicts. He did not mention a single thing.
The good news is that after early morning, the imperial guards stationed in Guo Mansion came to report.
It was said that Guo Ziyun was out of danger, but the arrow wound on his chest needed rest and recuperation.
Royal Garden.
"General Xiao, how long does it take to reach the imperial capital?" Qin Yun asked with a frown.
Eunuch Xi bent down and said: "Go back to Your Majesty. According to the distance, normally we should be able to get there around dark time."
Qin Yun nodded, worried in his heart.
Without Xiao Jian, he lacked his right and left-hand man. Once Wang Wei noticed that the matter was exposed and started to take action directly, something might happen.
Time passes minute by minute.
Watching the sky gradually darken, Qin Yun's heart began to twitch.
"Wang Wei should have discovered that the account books were stolen. He is not a fool and will not just wait for Xiao Jian to come back before I deal with him."
Thinking of this, Qin Yun's expression changed.
If Guo Ziyun would be assassinated, wouldn't Xiao Jian also be assassinated?
"Someone is coming!"
He yelled!
at the same time.
Linshu official said, Xiao Jian's group of dark soldiers and horses were rushing towards the imperial capital.
There are a few thousand people in total, all of whom are elites.
Suddenly, the forest on the left side of the official road made a strange noise, the trees swayed, and something was faintly moving.
Mingwen, who was imprisoned, was sitting in the carriage and accidentally saw this scene.
When he realized something was wrong, his expression changed drastically and he shouted: "General Xiao, be careful of enemies!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Hundreds of arrows shot out like a continuous rain, making a sound of breaking through the air.
"Poof!"
"ah!"
Dozens of people in the army were shot and fell to the ground vomiting blood!
The horses were frightened and began to run around, causing a brief chaos in the originally neat team.
"Ah!" Xiao Jian roared. He was hit by an arrow in his arm. The next second he broke the arrow with one hand, drew his knife and shouted: "Don't mess around, set up a shield!"
Bang bang bang!
Xiao Jian's soldiers were very disciplined. After a slight panic, hundreds of people immediately set up shields to block the arrows.
Swish, swish, and there were several more waves of arrows.
However, no enemy was seen coming out.
Xiao Jian was such a keen person. He realized that the enemy was a guerrilla and wanted to hold him back. He shouted: "Everyone, follow me to break through the encirclement. Don't be reluctant to fight."
The army was divided into front and rear armies and began to break through.
As expected, the enemy wanted to hold them back, and when they saw the army breaking through, they couldn't sit still.
A large number of men in black came out of the mountains and forests, with standard horses and weapons, no less than a regular army.
"kill!"
Xiao Jian let out a tiger's roar, drew his knife and chopped off the head of a dead soldier in black.
The official road stretched for thousands of meters, and a large encounter broke out!
The soldiers fought hand to hand, and the roars reached the sky.
However, Xiao Jian's elite troops completely suppressed the enemy and killed a large number of dead soldiers in a short time.
Bodies were laid out in rows, trampled by horses, and the smell of blood was strong.
Just when Xiao Jian thought he was about to win, a large number of men in black arrived in the mountains and forests, firing arrows and coming out to fight in close quarters.
The army fell into a quagmire of fighting!
At this time, Xiao Jian's knife was covered with blood, and his whole person became extremely ferocious.
"You bastard, these people just want to hold me back from returning to the Imperial Capital. Something must be happening in the Imperial Capital. No, I have to leave quickly!"
His eyes were anxious. After all, when he left the imperial capital, Qin Yun said there was a conspiracy.
Suddenly, Xiao Jian glanced at Mingwen and others who were imprisoned in the carriage.
"Ming Wen, do you want to make up for it?!" He roared, drew his knife and killed him.
Ming Wen opened his eyes and shouted: "The general is willing!"
He understood that he could avoid the death penalty for what happened in Zhuma City, but he could not escape the crime of living. Who wouldn't want to have the opportunity to atone for his crimes?
"boom!"
Xiao Jian rode up to the horse and cut off the iron rope of the carriage with one knife!
"There has been a change in the capital, I will fight back to the capital immediately!"
"You lead two thousand people to help me cut off my queen. After the incident is over, rush back to the imperial capital. Do you understand?"
Mingwen's eyes trembled, and he picked up a long knife on the ground: "Yes!"
He cut off the shackles of other carriages and shouted: "Brothers, the opportunity has come to make up for your past mistakes. Quickly lead your troops to help General Xiao break out!"
