Chapter 73 Leaving Beijing
It seems that Xue Pan's misfortune was just a trivial matter to Jia Wei, but he had never wanted to help at first.

Jia Wei holds an important position in the Jinyiwei, but he has an old grudge against Xue Pan, which Baochai can understand.

But why couldn't Lady Jia and Aunt Xue call him to action, but when she arrived, Jia Wei was willing to help?

Baochai is a thoughtful person, so it is inevitable that she would think too much...

Hearing Jia Wei's question, he quickly replied: "It's not a fragrance, it should be the smell of the pills I took early in the morning... I'm sorry to bother you, Second Brother Wei, about my brother's matter."

"What's the trouble?" Jia Wei smiled and continued the conversation, asking with concern, "What kind of pills did you take? Has your sister been feeling unwell lately?"

Baochai said, "I have had this disease since I was a child. I take a medicine from the sea called Lengxiang Pills."

Jia Wei suddenly remembered that this Lengxiang Pill was the prescription given by the bald monk...

There are gods in the Red Mansion. For example, the Great Master Mangmang and the True Man Miaomiao are both walking on earth, one in the form of a bald monk and the other in the form of a lame Taoist priest.

Jia Wei was distracted for a moment, not because he was in awe of the gods, but because he was wondering whether the martial arts of this era could transcend and ascend to heaven? Could he become a god in the future...

At this time, Xiangling served tea. Baochai took her hand and said, "Are you Xiangling? What a good name. You must come and play with me often in the future."

Seeing this, Jia Wei also looked at Baochai's maid. Ying'er was charming and lovely, and had some of Baochai's charm.

Jia Wei thought to himself, "Is this the expert at knitting and weaving flower baskets?"

The joke lasted only a few words when Cuiguo came in to report that a eunuch from the palace had come to say that the emperor urgently summoned Jia Wei to the palace.

While Jia Wei ordered Xiangling to prepare his official uniform, he said to Baochai, "Your Majesty has summoned me, so I have to excuse myself. I hope you will forgive me."

Baochai stood up quickly and said, "Second Brother Wei naturally takes important matters seriously. I am sorry to bother you today."

"Don't bother me, I'll come often in the future."

After saying this, Jia Wei went inside to change into his official uniform, said goodbye to Baochai, left the house, and headed straight for the imperial city.

As soon as Dai Quan led him into the imperial study, he heard Wei Xiaobao's voice: "Your Majesty, that woman is eight feet tall, with a waist of eight feet, and she holds a knife in her hand. No one can get close to her. As soon as our people approached, she killed them all with one knife left and one knife right..."

Seeing Xuanwu asking Wei Xiaobao and Zhao Jingzhong for details, Jia Wei stood aside and waited.

There was also a eunuch with a feminine face beside him. Jia Wei found that he looked familiar, so he asked, "Who is this eunuch?"

"Yu Huatian, the head of the West Factory, nice to meet Master Jia."

West Factory? What is West Factory?
"It turns out to be Mr. Yu, nice to meet you."

When Jia Wei saw Yu Huatian, he knew that the Western Factory also wanted to get involved in the pursuit of Wei Ao.

In fact, he himself was not interested in such a hard job that required traveling far away, but since it was related to the struggle between the Western Factory and the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he could not give in. Jia Wei did not want to be oppressed by a group of eunuchs.

After listening to the reports from Wei Xiaobao and Zhao Jingzhong, Xuanwu dismissed the two and only kept Jia Wei and Yu Huatian.

Xuanwu said angrily: "The East Factory is a bunch of rubbish. They caught up with Wei Ao in Fucheng and didn't even win the fight."

Jia Wei thought to himself, Wei Xiaobao is a good-for-nothing, not to mention that Zhao Jingzhong was originally Wei Yan's adopted son, so Wei Yan must have something on him. How dare he act so presumptuous? The emperor has entrusted the wrong person.

Xuanwu sighed and said, "Wei Ao arrived in Fucheng last night. He had the seal and had no obstacles along the way. If he went to Dali or went south to other countries overseas... I really can't bear it!" Yu Huatian immediately volunteered, "The West Factory is willing to go through fire and water for your majesty and will definitely capture Wei Ao and hand him over to your majesty for punishment."

Xuanwu nodded and looked at Jia Wei again.

Jia Wei said: "This time we are heading south, the mountains are high and the road is long. I cannot guarantee that I can bring Wei Ao back, but I can only ensure that I can bring back Wei Ao's head."

Xuanwu was silent for a moment, then said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Jia. Leave immediately... When Mr. Jia returns, you can take charge of the Jinyiwei affairs."

Just another empty promise, eh?
Although Jia Wei didn't care, he still thanked him and left the palace and went to the Jinyi Yamen.

As soon as he entered the Jinyi Yamen, he happened to meet Qianhu Lu Wenzhao. He hurried over to him and saluted respectfully: "Your humble servant greets you, Lord."

Since the fall of the eunuch party, everyone in the Jinyiwei has seen the situation clearly.

Jia Wei smiled and said, "Lord Lu seems to be very free. Would you like to follow me out of the capital to do some work?"

Lu Wenzhao was stunned and thought quickly. The mission that Jia Wei was going to do was naturally a big deal, and he had to leave Beijing... He remembered the news that the East Factory had returned unsuccessfully in trying to capture Wei Ao, and he immediately knew what mission Jia Wei was going to do.

"It is my honor to work with you, my Lord. But I am busy with important matters and cannot leave for the moment. Please forgive me, my Lord. Don't worry, there are other capable brothers in the government. Why don't I recommend a few of them to you?"

Jia Wei knew that Lu Wenzhao didn't want to get involved in this mess, so he immediately ordered:
"Lu Wenzhao, Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan, each bring your men and gather outside the South Gate in half an hour."

Lu Wenzhao's face was full of bitterness, but now he obviously did not dare to disobey Jia Wei's orders.

Time was running out, so Jia Wei hurried back home and asked Xiangling and Qingwen to pack their bags. He gave some instructions to Youshi and Cuiguo, and without staying for long, he left the home and walked out of the city.

Jinyiwei and others naturally did not dare to delay the opportunity and had been waiting for a long time.

Jia Wei led his men to the front of the team. He asked, "Have you heard about the East Factory? If we set out now, how long will it take for us to catch up with Wei Ao?"

Lu Wenzhao smiled and said, "We will change horses at the post station along the way. If everything goes well, we will be able to catch up with him in Xuancheng County at noon the day after tomorrow."

Jia Wei asked again in a cold voice: "What if it doesn't go well?"

Lu Wenzhao also put away his smile and said seriously: "If it doesn't go smoothly, I dare not confirm it... In the worst case, if Wei Yan flees to Dali, I'm afraid he can be caught up in Miaodi. If he wants to go to Southeast Asia, he should be caught up in the eastern Guangdong area."

Jia Wei nodded and said, "Okay, if we can't catch him in Xuancheng County, we will split into two groups."

A group of Jinyiwei went south along the official road, changing horses and resting at post stations along the way, and traveled hundreds of miles a day. Fortunately, these Jinyiwei all had martial arts skills, so they could withstand such a high-intensity attack.

Of course, this intensity is easy for Jia Wei, who has profound internal strength.

Jia Wei also did something secretly, leaving special marks told to him by Dongfang Bubai along the way.

Jia Wei and Dongfang Bubai once had an agreement that when Jia Wei entered the world of martial arts again, he would leave this mark and Dongfang Bubai would send someone to deliver the sword to him.

Now that Jia Wei's power has begun to emerge and his martial arts have reached a first-rate level, he dares to carry the Dragon Slaying Sword and parade around in the world, not to mention the influence of the Heavenly Sword.

If anyone covets it, I will kill him immediately.

If Nun Miejue hears about the Sword of the Heavenly Sword and comes to ask for it...that would be perfect!
Jia Wei was still worried about where to find Miejue...
