Chapter 1833 Night Thorn
The man sneered, "We were sent by King Ren to assassinate Ximen Yi and turned around to blame the people in Qin State. If you don't believe me, I have nothing to say." Although his perseverance was amazing, his kneecap was cut off by Chu Huan, and the pain was very tolerated, and beads of sweat were so big that they were on his forehead.
Chu Huan let go of his hand and slowly stood up. The man took a quick breath. As soon as he looked up, he saw Chu Huan kicking him hard and hit the man's forehead. The man was kicked to the ground and fainted immediately.
The inn was silent late at night, not far from the courtyard where Chu Huan was, and there were lights in another courtyard.
Xue Huaian stood at the window in the room, staring at the trees in the yard in a daze.
Xue Huaian came suddenly, unlike Chu Huan who reported to him before he arrived at Weiling Mansion, so the courtyard was simply cleaned up, which was not as clean as Chu Huan's side.
But Xue Huaian naturally has no intention of caring about these things now.
Before he set out on this trip, he knew that this trip was not a good job. Xu Chang was able to kill the master and become independent, which proved that he was a cruel and ruthless person. No matter what he did, Xue Huaian would not find it strange.
As soon as he arrived in Weiling today, he was inexplicably involved in Xu Yu's murder. This made Xue Huaian feel helpless. In his plan, after coming to announce the imperial edict, he lobbled with his own flawless tongue. Whether it was successful or not, he only felt that Xu Chang should not be too embarrassed by him and that he would be able to return to Hexi soon.
However, Xu Chang was involved in the murder of Xu Yu, and Xu Chang did not even give himself the opportunity to read the imperial edict. It was already a delusion to leave Jinling as soon as possible. If one is not good, he might even lose his life here.
But he didn't expect that Chu Huan actually came to Jinling.
Xue Huaian never doubted Chu Huan's courage, but Chu Huan is now the King of Chu, but he still breaks into this dragon and tiger den, which really surprised Xue Huaian.
Xue Huaian is actually very clear that once he exposes Chu Huan's true identity today, Chu Huan must be in trouble. He is so weird that he actually covers up Chu Huan. Now that he thinks about it, Xue Huaian is wondering whether his choice was correct at that time.
It was late at night, and Xue Huaian smiled bitterly and shook his head. He followed the emperor to tour the north, but his family stayed in the capital. He had a very good relationship with Mrs. Xue. After the capital fell, he was always worried about Mrs. Xue's safety. Whenever he heard someone mention that the capital was occupied by bandits and blood flowed into a river, Xue Huaian felt extremely heavy.
He sent someone to the capital to find Mrs. Xue and his family. However, at this time, only people escaped from the capital, and no one dared to go to the capital. Xue Huaian knew that even if the servants dared not disobey and forced themselves to leave, they would probably run away halfway and could only hand over the property they carried with them to the servants. He also claimed that he would have a lot of money to repay Mrs. Xue, but after the man went there, there was no news.
There are quite a few officials like Xue Huaian who send people to the capital to inquire about the news in private, and they almost never return.
He shook his head with a wry smile. Xue Huaian was a little tired. He walked to the bed and was about to lie down, but he saw a flash of light at the window. It seemed that something was there. He was confused and walked over. Before he could get close, he heard a voice from outside the door saying, "Sir, have you rested?"
Xue Huaian stopped and asked, "I haven't had a rest yet, is there anything wrong?" He turned around and walked to the door, opened the door, and saw a guard in the brimming clothes standing in front of the door.
When Xue Huaian opened the door, the man bowed and said, "Sir, I have to disturb you so late, please forgive me."
"It's okay." Xue Huaian said tiredly: "What's the matter?"
This escort guard was the captain of the guard who came with Xue Huaian on this trip. Dingwu attached great importance to Xue Huaian's visit to Jinling this time. Although he did not send many soldiers to escort guards, the escorts who came with him were selected. Eight guards, five of them were elite soldiers selected from the Royal Guards. The other three were all affiliated with the Divine Yi Guard, two Divine Yi Guards, plus the Divine Yi Baihu in front of him, and Wang Wei Yang was the leader of the guards.
Wang Weiyang couldn't bear Xue Huaian, but he glanced into the house and said softly: "Sir, I have learned that Xu Yu was dead in the inn. I am worried that there will be assassins here, so I want to check it out to ensure the safety of the Lord."
Xue Huaian knew that Wang Weiyang was also kind, so he nodded. Then Wang Weiyang carefully checked the house and said softly: "Sir, don't eat the food and water here easily, just to prevent someone from poisoning. The subordinates are guarding outside the door, but if there is something, the Lord will summon him."
Xue Huaian smiled and nodded, saying, "It's hard for you. There are Jinling soldiers guards outside, so I think it's okay. You have worked hard all the way and have a good rest. Yes, have everyone else fallen asleep?"
"Report to the Lord, we eight of us are divided into two shifts and take turns on duty." Wang Weiyang said: "Although there are many soldiers in Jinling, it is not difficult for real assassins to sneak in. The three layers inside the inn seem to be tightly defended, but in the eyes of the subordinates, there are many loopholes. If the subordinates are at the same time, it is easy to sneak in."
Xue Huaian believed in this. The Divine Yiwei was a good player to lurk and assassinate. Although the four thousand households were all independent figures, the twelve hundred households were also good players among them.
"Sir, rest at night, the window must be closed and the window bolt must be tied." Wang Weiyang made sure there was no danger in the house. Seeing the window open, he reminded him while walking over.
Xue Huaian suddenly said, "Wang Baihu, there is something I want to remind you."
Wang Weiyang stopped, turned around, bowed and said, "Sir, please speak frankly if you have any instructions."
Xue Huaian hesitated for a moment before approaching and whispering: "This time we come, I'm afraid there will be a lot of danger. If you have the chance, you will take the others out of Jinling, don't worry about me."
Wang Weiyang was stunned and whispered: "Why did you say this by sir?" He sneered: "Does Xu Chang really dare to attack him?"
"Not Xu Chang." Xue Huaian shook his head and said, "If Xu Yu was killed, if nothing unexpected happens, someone should have wanted to sow discord. If the other party can kill Xu Yu in the inn, his strength will definitely be good."
Wang Weiyang lowered his voice and asked, "Do you think it was the hands of the people in the northwest?"
Xue Huaian shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that Chu Chuhuan's subordinates shouldn't be so confused. If they put themselves in trouble."
"What do you mean by sir?"
"No matter who it is, our situation is very dangerous." Xue Huaian smiled bitterly and said, "I may not be able to get out of Weiling City. If this is true, you don't have to sacrifice in vain. If you can leave alive, just leave."
Wang Weiyang said solemnly: "The emperor ordered his subordinates to protect the Lord. As long as his subordinates are alive, they must protect the Lord to return to Hexi safely."
Xue Huaian waved his hand, opened his mouth, and stopped talking. Wang Weiyang asked, "Do you have any instructions?"
"This!" Xue Huaian hesitated for a moment before saying, "There was something that was inconvenient to speak, but there was indeed one thing that was not over yet. Although hey, forget it!"
"Does there be anything difficult for you?" Wang Weiyang was naturally very capable of observing his words and expressions. "The adults are very concerned about us along the way. If there is anything to serve, the adults just speak."
Xue Huaian thought for a while before lowering his voice: "Wang Baihu, you are a Divine Yiwei, and you are not controlled by the various yamen. Naturally, I cannot give orders to you. There is something I want to entrust to you in my personal opinion."
Seeing that Xue Huaian looked gloomy, Wang Weiyang seemed to be suspicious of his ability to leave Wei Ling alive, and nodded and said, "Sir, please tell me."
"I followed the late emperor to tour Hexi in the north. Since then, I have no contact with my family. After the fall of the capital, there has been no news!" Xue Huaian smiled bitterly and said, "I want to!"
Wang Weiyang said: "Does sir want me to go to the capital to find my family?"
"This makes you embarrassed, I know, Wang Baihu, let's forget about this matter, this!" Xue Huaian was a little upset and his words were confused.
When Wang Weiyang saw Xue Huaian, he was not only tired, but even a little dazed. After hesitating, he finally said: "Sir, I cannot guarantee that I will go to the capital to find out whereabouts of your family, but I promised you that I will send someone to the capital and that I will find out their situation clearly."
Xue Huaian's face suddenly showed excitement, grabbed Wang Weiyang's arm, and even showed gratitude in his eyes, saying, "Wang Wang and Baihu, if this is the case, I will definitely be rewarded."
Wang Weiyang shook his head and smiled, "I am not doing anything to give me a lot of money. I think I have been caring about my family all the way. I am affectionate and righteous, so I am naturally trying my best to help me. It's already late at night, and I don't know what else to do next. You should rest early and accumulate energy. No matter what happens, we will do our best to deal with it."
Xue Huaian nodded, and Wang Weiyang walked to the window and wanted to help Xue Huaian close the window. At this moment, he was covered in a light sound. The oil lamp in the room suddenly went out, and it suddenly became pitch black. Wang Weiyang had already walked to the window at this time. When the lamp was turned off, his face darkened, and he said in a deep voice: "Sir, be careful!" He knew that the light was going off, and knew that something was wrong, so he wanted to return to Xue Huaian's side. At this time, cold air hit, and a cold light rushed straight from outside the window to take Wang Weiyang's throat.
Wang Weiyang reacted very quickly and quickly retreated. While he was retreating, he pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed it in a diagonal manner.
The sword energy is severe and frost, and the cold energy is overwhelming.
Xue Huaian was in the darkness and could not adapt for a moment, so he could not see clearly at all. He heard the sound of weapons fighting and knew that things were not good, so he said in a lost voice: "Wang Baihu!"
