Wei Zhan looked at the dark figure whose head and face were covered by a bamboo hat. He didn't hold any weapons with his hands behind his back, nor was he wearing Gong Liuqi's iconic red blood sword.
"My friend, you don't just come to the palace. Also, where did you get this token?" Wei Zhan did not order a siege, but raised the ### token in his hand.
"Wei Zhan, despite your high position and authority, it is not your turn to speak to me in this tone. Tell these people to withdraw and follow me!"
A hoarse voice came from under the bamboo hat, and Wei Zhan couldn't tell whether the voice sounded familiar. When he saw the black figure turning around, six or seven Qinglong Guards suddenly blocked the way back.
Unexpectedly, the man wearing the bamboo hat facing the courtyard wall jumped towards the eaves on the other side. A Qinglong guard under the eaves snorted coldly, and stabbed the man in the bamboo hat in the chest with a sharp sword in his hand.
In an instant, the man in the bamboo hat swayed in the air, reached out and took off the bamboo hat on his head, slapped it directly on the sword body, and with the force of the slap, the man in the bamboo hat jumped into the air and jumped up to the eaves.
Wei Zhan stomped on the ground with one foot and chased after him, "There is no need to warn, protect Qian Palace, the Emperor must not make any mistakes." Wei Zhan's voice still echoed in the air, but the two people lost track of each other one after the other.
The bodies of the Qinglong Guards who had just started suddenly stopped. Everyone looked at each other and quickly ran towards Qian Palace where Emperor Chengwu lived. They were not worried about Master Wei Zhan, but they were worried about Emperor Chengwu's safety. From the hat man
From what they did just now, they knew that the person who came was not an ordinary expert. If there were people accompanying him, they would be a big threat to Emperor Cheng Wu.
The two figures chased them out of the palace one after another. The guards in the palace took action quickly. They seemed orderly in the darkness and did not sound a warning gong.
Wei Zhan chased the black shadow in front of him, and the two of them reached the top of Wangyue Po in the city before the other party stopped his movements.
Wangyuepo is the place where the palace guards were buried after receiving royal rewards. Wei Zhan stopped when he saw the black shadow in front of him. He didn't understand why the other party came here. Wei Zhan did not dare to be careless, and the broad sword in his hand lay across the
On the chest. From the recent pursuit of Zhong Wei Zhan, he discovered that the opponent's Qinggong was definitely not inferior to his own.
"My friend, at this late night, are you choosing a burial place for yourself? Hum, I'm afraid you are not qualified." Wei Zhan saw that the other person's back was turned to him, and he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. In front of Wei Zhan's eyes,
Here, no one in the world dares to turn their backs to him. The other party is simply arrogant.
The old man who had lost his bamboo hat finally turned around. Under the moonlight, a weathered and majestic face appeared in Wei Zhan's eyes.
"Eldest brother?" Wei Zhan couldn't help but was stunned. He didn't expect that it would be Lin Feng who lured him out. Among the four brothers at that time, Lin Feng had the highest prestige. Even the senior officials in the capital respected him as "Lord Lin", but
I imagine that Lin Feng was also a hit back then.
"Wei Zhan, it's rare that you can still call me big brother. However, there are two things I want to ask you for tonight. No matter which one of these two things is done by you, we brothers will sever our ties." Lin Feng said.
He said coldly with his hands behind his back.
"Brother, why did you say that? If there is anything wrong with Wei Zhan, please reprimand me. It was only because of my reprimand that Wei Zhan achieved such success at the sticky pole. Now you and I are both in our seventies, Wei Zhan."
Zhan will never forget the teachings of his elder brother for the rest of his life." Wei Zhan inserted his broad sword and said sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng couldn't help but tremble slightly on his face. He recalled that when the four brothers were young, they were so heroic and heroic that shook the world. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and only one of the four brothers is left.
Both of them.
"Wei Zhan, have you seen that ### token?" Lin Feng's tone was slightly softer than before. After all, time has passed and Wei Zhan is no longer the fourth brother he was before, but the most important minister around the emperor.
"Brother, the fourth brother was also shocked just now. If it weren't for trying to figure out the purpose of this token, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to leave the palace at all." Wei Zhan said frankly.
Lin Feng nodded. He knew very well the layout of the sticky pole in the west courtyard. If the guards issued a warning, it would be difficult for Lin Feng to escape from the palace surrounded by layers of Qinglong guards.
"Wei Zhan, let me ask you, how did the second and third brothers die? I hope you can tell me the truth." Lin Feng stared at Wei Zhan coldly.
Wei Zhan was startled, and silently took out the token, with a look of guilt in his eyes, "Brother, could it be that you have already met your second brother Gong Liuqi?"
"So, you already knew that ### didn't die in the rain of arrows?" Lin Feng's eyes revealed a chilling air.
Wei Zhan shook his head, "I'm just guessing, because the two corpses were completely unrecognizable, and I also suspect that they were replaced."
"Wei Zhan, why did you clean up the sticky rod back then and almost killed half of Wei Zhan? When you faced the souls of all the brothers who died on Wangyue Slope, tell me, did you have some agenda?" Lin Feng couldn't help but raise his voice.
Improve it.
Wei Zhan looked at Lin Feng and was so surprised that he didn't speak for a long time. The two sides were like masters about to fight, and the air seemed to freeze.
Wei Zhan sighed softly and finally said, "Brother, did you find out something?"
"Yes, to tell you the truth, I have found out the real culprit behind the death of the second and third brothers. Heaven has eyes. The second brother Gong Liuqi did not die in Dangyun Kingdom. After so many years, he died in
Tian Qing. However, the second brother has found out the real culprit and recorded everything he knew before he died. Wei Zhan, if you still have the courage of the past, speak out frankly like a warrior." Lin Feng looked at him.
A little red, he felt that Wei Zhan had been deceiving him, and this matter must be related to Wei Zhan. Although Lin Feng did not want to see such a result, he had to face it because of the unjust deaths of Gong Liuqi and Bai Yi.
Reality.
Wei Zhan raised his head and looked directly at Lin Feng, "Brother, now that you have found out the truth, I will no longer hide it from you. Yes, I already know the truth, but for the sake of the royal family and the people of the world, I want to keep this secret
I have kept it forever. I thought that I was the only one alive who knew about this matter. Unexpectedly, my second brother was actually not dead."
Lin Feng's body couldn't help but tremble a little, and there was a look of grief and anger on his face, "Wei Zhan, if this is the case, then don't blame me, Lin Feng, for being ruthless. Bai Yi and Gong Liuqi can't die so unjustly, I have to avenge them. Wei Zhan
"Zhan, I haven't fought with you for so many years. I don't know if your broad sword is still as sharp as it used to be." Lin Feng said, slowly drawing out the long and thin sword.
Wei Zhan looked at Lin Feng in surprise, "Brother, what do you mean? Do you suspect that I was the real murderer back then?"
"Even if you are not the mastermind, you are still a coercion. Do you dare to say that the death of the second brother and the third brother has nothing to do with you, Wei Zhan?"
"Hey! Big brother misunderstood! When I learned that my second and third brothers died tragically in Dangyun Kingdom, I was furious and cleaned the sticky rod area, and indeed a lot of Dangyun Tianqing's two-headed snakes were cleaned out. But later, the late emperor left the orphan on his deathbed.
I didn't know the truth until I learned the truth. When I knew the truth, the late emperor was already on his deathbed." Wei Zhan said bitterly.
Lin Feng looked at Wei Zhan in confusion, not knowing whether what he said was true or not, "Since you know the truth, why don't you avenge Gong Liuqi and Bai Yi."
Wei Zhan raised his head and sighed, "Brother, I can't do it."
A trace of suffering appeared on Wei Zhan's face, and he continued, "When the late emperor was dying, several princes had killed everyone in order to fight for the throne. When the late emperor told this matter, he let me choose to assassinate the emperor as my brother.
Revenge is still to save the Dafeng kingdom. At that time, the late emperor was no longer able to control the situation. He knew that only sticking to the pole could influence the selection of the throne. Therefore, the late emperor wanted to use his own death to comfort the spirit of the second and third brothers in heaven. What the late emperor did was also
I want to protect the Li family. I also understand that a dying emperor can be killed with just a wave of the hand, but after killing the late emperor, the stick stick department will have to be disbanded. Emperor Chengwu does not have the support of the stick stick stick, and Dafeng
The dynasty is about to fall apart. When the time comes, both Yun and Tianqing will take the opportunity to invade, and my dignified Dafeng will probably become a slave to the country's subjugation. Therefore, the fourth brother did not do this, but kept this secret hidden until now. Big brother, remember you back then
Teach us that the emperor's order cannot be violated, and the ghost who sticks to the rod is born to be the emperor. If Wei Zhan is wrong, then I am willing to suffer the sword that pierces the heart."
Wei Zhan showed pain on his face. When he thought of his choice back then, Wei Zhan felt very guilty. He knew that the late emperor was worried that the truth would be found out after his death, which would be a greater disaster for the Li family. Because
Several other parties were informed of this matter, and the late emperor was unable to eliminate them.
Lin Feng looked at Wei Zhan. He knew that if Wei Zhan was telling the truth, his choice at that time was out of helplessness. Otherwise, the people of Dafeng would suffer from the war.
"Wei Zhan, why did you hide it from me?"
"Brother, Emperor Chengwu is considered a good emperor. My fourth brother doesn't want you to do anything bad to him. Besides, I don't want the grudges of the previous generation to continue. My fourth brother can swear in front of all the souls who died on Wangyue Slope that I will never
No lies.”
"Are the Guo family involved in this matter?" Lin Feng asked bitterly.
Wei Zhan shook his head, "When this happened, Guo Linggong died. Although Tianxin took over the Zhennan Camp, he did not take up the post for three years because of his filial piety. He only took the name of Commander-in-Chief of Zhennan. In this matter, the late emperor was
The news was passed to Dang Yun through Wu Dekai, the deputy commander of Zhennan Daying. After Cheng Wu came to power, when Wu Dekai returned to Beijing to report on his duties, I personally beheaded him in his own house."
Lin Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had always thought that Guo Tianxin's father was also involved in this matter. But now he thought about it, if his old love rival had not died, he would not have left the stick and lurked in the Guo family to work as a gardener. As long as the Guo family didn't
Lin Feng was somewhat relieved to be involved in this matter. It seemed that there were many discrepancies in Gong Liuqi's investigation back then. Lin Feng believed that Wei Zhan would not lie to him. What's more, with Wei Zhan's current overwhelming power, it was unnecessary
Deceive Lin Feng.
Lin Feng silently put away his rapier, "Wei Zhan, my second and third brothers died unjustly, but this matter is related to the survival of the world, and I can't blame you. However, there is one more thing that you must explain clearly to me.
Although this kid from Tianjiang has not officially become a disciple, I, Lin Feng, have already regarded him as my disciple. Even if Emperor Wu gives you an order, can't you just let him go for my sake?"
Wei Zhan looked at Lin Feng strangely, not knowing where to start. There were too many things that surprised Wei Zhan tonight, otherwise he would definitely ask about Zhu Tianjiang when he saw Lin Feng.
"Brother, why do I get more and more confused the more I listen to you? I, Wei Zhan, have been protecting him since Tian Xiang entered the court."
"Protect him? Fart, on the way to Beijing today, Tianxiang was almost shot by your people!" Lin Feng said, raising his hand and throwing another token.
Wei Zhan looked at the token hidden on the stick in his hand and asked doubtfully, "Brother, are you saying that someone robbed and killed Zhu Tianjiang on the way?"
"Hmph, not only was he robbing and killing, but he also left evidence in his haste."
"This~ this can never be done by Sticky Rod. Emperor Chengwu did have the intention to force Zhu Tianjiang away, but he did not order the killing. Even if he gave this order, I would secretly notify Tianjiang and let him
He flew away. Brother, it is not difficult to get such an ordinary secret token. If someone deliberately framed him, it would be enough to stir up chaos within Dafeng. To be honest, Zhu Tianjiang is no longer an ordinary minister.
His achievements in this life gave him a high prestige in the military, and he also had the support of the Guo family. Emperor Chengwu was afraid of causing dissatisfaction among the military generals, so he had no choice but to do anything to Zhu Tianjiang. Brother, you know the stick stick's determination to execute orders.
If I really gave the order and said a disrespectful word, even you wouldn't be alive."
Wei Zhan frowned and defended frankly. He felt that this matter was extremely important. If Zhu Tianjiang was really pushed into a hurry, the hidden 20,000 Uzbek army might enter Hukou Pass and go straight to the capital. At that time, Zhou Yantian
If they continue to launch a massive counterattack, the Dafeng Dynasty will simply not be able to stop the invasion of these two forces.
The two old brothers on Wang Yuepo were arguing with each other. Inside the palace, the two brothers, Emperor Chengwu and Prince Jing, were even more quarrelsome. In fact, the two brothers, Prince Jing and Emperor Chengwu, put aside their royal dignity and almost started fighting.
