But the man sneered and said: "We were sent by King Ren to assassinate Ximen Yi, and turn around to blame those people in Qin State. If you don't believe me, I...I have nothing to say. "Although his perseverance was amazing, but the kneecap was broken by Chu Huan, the pain was very tolerable, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

Chu Huan let go of his hand and stood up slowly. The man took two short breaths, and just raised his head, he saw Chu Huan kicking him hard on the forehead, and the man was kicked over. On the ground, he fainted immediately.

The posthouse was dead quiet at night, not far from the courtyard where Chu Huan was, and there was still a light on in another courtyard.

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

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

It's just that Xue Huai'an naturally doesn't care about these things now.

Before he set off on this trip, he knew that this trip was not a good one. Xu Chang's ability to kill his master and stand on his own proved to be a ruthless person. No matter what kind of things such a person did, Xue Huai'an would not find it strange.

As soon as he arrived in Weiling today, he was inexplicably involved in the murder of Xu Yu, which made Xue Huai'an really helpless. In his plan, after he came to declare the decree, he would use his three-inch tongue to lobby, Regardless of success or failure, he only felt that Xu Chang should not be too embarrassing to him, and he would be able to return to Hexi soon.

However, being involved in Xu Yu's murder, Xu Chang didn't even give himself a chance to read the imperial decree. It was wishful thinking to leave Jinling as soon as possible.

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 now that Chu Huan is the king of Chu, he still broke into this dragon's lake and tiger's lair, which really surprised Xue Huai'an.

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

In the dead of night, Xue Huai'an shook his head with a wry smile. He accompanied the emperor on his northern tour, but his family members stayed in the capital. He and Mrs. Xue had a very good relationship. With the bandits taking over and blood flowing like rivers, Xue Huai'an felt extremely heavy.

He also privately sent people to the capital to look for Mrs. Xue and her family members, but at this time, only people escaped from the capital, and no one dared to go to the capital. Dao ran away, so he could only hand over the belongings he carried with him to the servant, and claimed that he would be rewarded a lot for finding Mrs. Xue, but after the man left, there was no news of him.

Officials like Xue Huai'an were not in the minority, they all sent people to the capital in private to inquire about news, and almost never returned.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xue Huai'an was quite tired. He walked to the bed and was about to lie down when he saw a light flashing through the window, as if there was something over there. A voice came from outside the door: "Has your lord rested yet?"

Xue Huai'an stopped in his tracks and asked, "I haven't rested yet, what's the matter?" Turning around, he walked to the door, opened the door, and saw a guard standing in front of the door.

Seeing Xue Huai'an open the door, the man cupped his hands and said, "My lord, please forgive me for disturbing you at such a late hour."

"No problem." Xue Huai'an said wearily, "What's the matter?"

This Jinyi guard was the captain of the guard who accompanied Xue Huai'an on this trip. Ding Wu also attached great importance to Xue Huai'an's visit to Jinling this time. They are all selected, eight guards, five of them are elites selected from the Royal Guards, the other three are all subordinate to Shenyiwei, two Shenyi school lieutenants, plus the name in front of him is Wang Wei The sheep wear hundreds of households, and Wang Weiyang is the leader of the guards.

Wang Weiyang couldn't bear Xue Huai'an, but he glanced into the room before saying softly: "My lord, my subordinates have already learned that Xu Yu died in the post house, and my subordinates are worried that there are assassins here, so they want to check. Once again, to ensure the safety of adults."

Knowing that Wang Weiyang also had good intentions, Xue Huai'an nodded, and then Wang Weiyang carefully inspected the house, and said softly: "My lord, don't eat the food and water here lightly, in case someone poisons you, my subordinates are here There are guards outside the door, but if there is something, the adults call."

Xue Huai'an smiled and nodded, and said: "It's hard for you, there are Jinling soldiers guarding outside, so it's not a big problem. You have worked hard all the way, and you should have a good rest. Yes, have everyone else fallen asleep?"

"My lord, the eight of us will be divided into two shifts and take turns to guard." Wang Weiyang said: "Although there are many Jinling soldiers, it is not difficult for real assassins to sneak in. There are three floors in this posthouse and three floors outside. It seems that the defense is tight, but in the eyes of the subordinates, there are many loopholes, and it is easy for the subordinates to sneak in."

Xue Huai'an firmly believed in this, Shenyiwei was originally a master of lurking assassination, although the Four Great Thousand Families are all unique figures, the Twelve Great Hundred Families are also good among them.

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

Xue Huai'an suddenly said: "Wang Baihu, there is something that I want to tell you."

Wang Weiyang stopped, turned around, cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency has orders, just speak up."

Xue Huai'an hesitated for a moment, then approached, and said softly: "This time we come here, I'm afraid it will be a bad luck, if there is a chance, you leave Jinling with others, don't worry about me."

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

"It's not Xu Chang." Xue Huai'an shook his head and said, "Xu Yu was killed. If there is no accident, it should be someone who wanted to sow discord. The other party can kill Xu Yu in the posthouse, and the strength must not be weak."

Wang Weiyang lowered his voice and asked, "Master, do you think it was the people in the northwest who did it?"

Xue Huai'an shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, Chu... Chu Huan's subordinates shouldn't be so confused. If they put themselves in trouble."

"What do you mean, sir?"

"No matter who it is, our situation is very dangerous." Xue Huai'an said with a wry smile, "I probably won't be able to get out of Weiling City... If that's the case, you don't have to sacrifice in vain, and you can leave alive. Just leave."

Wang Weiyang said solemnly: "The holy majesty ordered the subordinates to protect the lord. As long as the subordinates are alive, they must protect the lord to return to Hexi safely."

Xue Huai'an waved his hand, opened his mouth, hesitated to speak, Wang Weiyang asked, "Does your lord have any orders?"

"This...!" Xue Huai'an hesitated for a moment before saying, "There is one thing that I can't speak to, but... but there is indeed one thing on my mind, although... hey, forget it! "

"Is there anything embarrassing, my lord?" Wang Weiyang's ability to observe words and expressions is natural, "My lord has treated us very well along the way, if there is anything I can do for you, just ask your lord."

Xue Huai'an thought for a while, then lowered his voice and said: "Wang Baihu, you are a godly guard, and you are not subject to the restraints of the various departments. Naturally, I can't issue orders to you. There is a matter that I want to entrust to you personally."

Wang Weiyang saw Xue Huai'an's expression was gloomy, and he seemed to doubt that he would be able to leave Weiling alive in his words, so he nodded and said, "My lord, please tell me."

"I accompanied the first emperor on the northern tour of Hexi. Since then, I have no contact with my family. After the fall of the capital, there is no news at all...!" Xue Huai'an said with a wry smile, "I want to...!"

Wang Weiyang said: "My lord wants me to go to the capital to look for my family?"

"This is embarrassing for you, and I know... Hey, Wang Baihu, let's forget about this, this...!" Xue Huai'an was a little upset, and his words were incoherent.

Seeing Xue Huai'an, Wang Weiyang not only looked exhausted, but was even in a trance. After hesitating for a while, he finally said, "My lord, I can't guarantee that I will go to the capital to inquire about the whereabouts of your family members, but I assure you, They will send people to the capital, and no matter what, they will find out their situation."

Xue Huaian'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... I will be There are big rewards."

Wang Weiyang shook his head and said with a smile: "This subordinate is not doing it for any kindness. My lord has been worrying a lot along the way, thinking about my family all the time. My lord is affectionate and righteous, so my subordinates will naturally try their best to help. My lord, it's late at night. Next I don’t know what else to do, please rest early, recharge your batteries, and no matter what happens, we will do our best to deal with it.”

Xue Huai'an nodded, and Wang Weiyang went to the window to help Xue Huai'an close the window. At this moment, there was a light sound, and the oil lamp in the room suddenly went out, and it was dark all around. Wang Weiyang had already left. Going to the window, seeing the light off, his face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, be careful...!" He knew the strangeness of the light off, and knew that something was wrong, so he wanted to return to Xue Huai'an's side. At this time, the cold air hit, and from outside the window, a cold light hit Wang Weiyang's throat.

Wang Weiyang's reaction was amazing, and he retreated quickly. During the retreat, he had already pulled out the saber from his waist, and slashed diagonally.

The sword energy is severe, and the cold air is pressing.

Xue Huai'an couldn't adapt to the darkness for a while, he couldn't see clearly at all, he heard the sound of weapons clashing, and knew that something was wrong, 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, but the figure outside the window had already rushed into the house, his swordsmanship was fierce, and Wang Weiyang couldn't escape under the sword light, and the other party went all out , although Wang Weiyang's martial arts is not weak, but he has concerns in his heart. With a sound of "Zi", the opponent's sword has already hit Wang Weiyang's shoulder, and the sword energy of the sword immediately penetrated into Wang Weiyang's skin.
