Snowy Chang'an Road

Chapter 38: Counterattack with an Army

Looking at Wei Shao kneeling on the spot, he didn't speak for a long time.

Ma Xi asked back: "King of Peiping, do you have any objections?"

"May I ask Lord Ma, who presented such a vicious plan to His Majesty?"

"I do not know either."

"King Xiang of Han is dead and will be chopped into meat paste. Everyone in this court says that the Marquis of Huainan rebelled, but where is the evidence? Now they say that King Xiang of Han rebelled, where is the evidence? Whether he rebels or not depends solely on his mouth. Then we can determine it, then if I say Master Ma that you are rebelling, should I also punish your nine tribes and chop you into meat paste?"

Ma Xi was suddenly attacked by Wei Shao. He said: "Why did the King of Peking say this? I, Ma Xi, am loyal to Wei and your Majesty, so how can I have disobedience? As for rebellion, this is simply unreasonable." The crime, King Peking, please don’t slander me.”

"It turns out that Mr. Ma also knows that there is no truth and he also understands the slander. So, are you slandering the King of Guangyang, the Marquis of Huainan, and the King of Hanxiang?"

"I am just following His Majesty's orders, and I ask the King of Peking not to stop him. I will report to Your Majesty one by one the words and deeds of the King of Peiping today when I return to the palace."

Pei Ying saw Wei Shao coming up and hurried to stop him, but the next second Wei Shao took out a token from his waist and threw it in front of Ma Xi with a "pop" sound.

Ma Xi looked at the token on the ground without saying anything. He didn't even have the courage to pick it up.

"Master Ma, why don't you pick up your things?"

"Is it possible that Lord Ma has forgotten how he sent his men to follow and assassinate my king?"

"I know that Master Ma only listens to His Majesty's orders, so is it His Majesty's intention to assassinate this King?"

"Or, Master Ma, you serve two masters with one servant. In addition to Your Majesty, you have another master?"

"King of Peiping, you have no evidence and no evidence. Please don't slander anyone."

Hearing Wei Shao's words, everyone could no longer sit still. Zhong Yang rushed to Wei Shao and asked: "Brother Wei, you said Ma Xi sent someone to assassinate you?"

"Yes, you don't know. Following His Majesty's order, I took a boat south from Jiangxia County to Guangling Kingdom. Along the way, I found someone following us. When we were exploring in the middle of the night, I was assassinated by eight men in black. This token is What was found from one of them was the token of Master Ma Xi. Regarding this matter, Mr. Ma, should you explain to me?"

Ma Xi clenched his fists, walked up to Wei Shao, and asked through gritted teeth: "Did you kill those people?"

"So what?"

"Wei Shao."

Along with these two words, Ma Xi's fist came to Wei Shao. Wei Shao stretched out his hand and clenched his fist tightly. There was a struggle of strength between the two people.

Seeing that he was no match for him, Ma Xi wanted to attack with his sword, but Xiao Shen snatched it away with quick eyes and hands.

After a lot of trouble, everyone subdued Ma Xi to the ground.

"Wei Shao, do you know that you killed my brother? I personally handed this token to my brother when he set out. They and their group were just monitoring you and your wife and have never had any murderous intentions towards you. You Spitting blood."

"Really? Have you ever had murderous intentions? The Xunyang County case files are still in the government office. We can transfer the case files to check the truth. But now, you don't have a chance to speak. Someone, the doctor ordered Ma Xi, to assassinate me. King, take me to the prison and wait for your fate."

In Ban Zhuo's panicked eyes, Ma Xi was escorted down by the soldiers.

Pei Ying picked up the token from the ground and handed it to Wei Shao.

Wei Shao looked at Ban Zhuo and asked, "Marquis Guangxin, have you heard anything today? What have you seen?"

Ban Zhuo quickly shook his head and replied: "I haven't heard it, I haven't seen it."

"Marquis Guangxin is a smart man. His Majesty sent you to monitor the three of us because he was afraid that we would not be able to do things well. Then I would like to ask you, do the three of us do our best to the things assigned by His Majesty?"

"Yes Yes."

"Is King Xiang of Han dead?"

"died."

"King Xiang of Han Dynasty is dead, and your Majesty's worries have been settled. However, this meat paste is really shocking. Does Marquis Guangxin know what to do?"

"know."

"Very good, then I will leave the next matter to Marquis Guangxin."

"Okay, okay." "Bai Zheng, prepare a plate of meat sauce and escort Marquis Guangxin to Liu'an Kingdom."

"Yes."

Wei Shao's operation left everyone speechless.

"Xiao Shen, there is something you need to do now."

"Brother Wei, tell me."

"Kill Ma Xi. I don't have the power. You go back to Chang'an with this token and tell His Majesty what happened today. Your Majesty will make the decision. If you encounter any difficulties, you can go to Duke Pei and he will Help you."

"Okay, Xiao Shen will live up to Brother Wei's instructions."

Everyone was ordered to work separately, leaving only Wei Shao, Pei Ying and Zhong Yang.

Zhong Yang said: "Brother Wei, this bitch dares to assassinate you without telling His Majesty. I will go to prison to take care of him in the next few days."

"Brother Lao Zhong."

“I don’t know whose orders this bitch followed, but he actually dared to attack you after eating the heart of a bear.”

"Brother Zhong, who do you think is the person in Chang'an City who can mobilize His Majesty's personal bodyguards to assassinate me?"

Zhong Yang suddenly understood, but he did not dare to say those two words.

"Brother Wei, you were born into a royal family and faced many dangers. It's really not easy for you to survive to this day."

Wei Shao laughed at himself and said, "It's okay, I'm just bothering Brother Zhong to vent his anger on my younger brother."

"I will handle it."

In the room, Pei Ying and Wei Shao were sitting at the table.

"Wei Shao, are you okay?"

"I am fine."

"Today's play was exciting enough."

"I didn't follow His Majesty's orders. Are you afraid?"

"What do I have to be afraid of? Your Majesty didn't ask you to chop King Xiang of Han into minced meat. This matter was done by Ban Zhuo. Even if something happens in the future, it will also be his business. What does it have to do with you?"

"I didn't realize that you are quite brave."

"Whoever you follow, what path you follow."

At the eleventh hour, Wei Shao and Pei Ying sneaked into the widow's house and took away Lu Yi's body.

At 3 o'clock in the morning, the couple drove out of Dingtao Kingdom and arrived at a farmer's home in the mountains that was inaccessible.

Princess Hanxiang and the children stood by the bed, and everyone was waiting for Lu Yi to wake up.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Lu Yi slowly opened his eyes.

Princess Hanxiang cried with joy, and several children gathered around their father and cried together.

Seeing this scene, Pei Ying couldn't help but feel sad. Wei Shao handed over a black brocade handkerchief, and she turned away and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"King of Peiping, Princess, please accept my bow."

Pei Ying hurriedly supported Princess Hanxiang and said, "Uncle, no, we are juniors. How can we accept such a big bow from you? Please get up quickly."

"Without you, the prince would have died long ago. You and your wife are our saviors. Children, come and kowtow to your father's savior."

After hearing their mother's instructions, several children came forward and knelt down to thank Wei Shao and Pei Ying.
