In the room, Qin Wei opened his eyes and said to Xiao Shunzi, who had been standing by the bed, "Help me up."
Xiao Shunzi quickly stretched out his hand to help Qin Wei up.
Although the tingling sensation in my body has subsided a lot, I still feel weak and weak, and I can't even stand steady.
With the support of Xiao Shunzi, Qin Wei struggled to sit in front of the desk in the room.
"What's wrong with me?"
Qin Wei asked.
The memory left over from my predecessor stops before I go to bed at night, and I don’t know whether it was last night or the night before.
"Your Highness has been poisoned!"
"What poison?"
"Luanshen Powder." Xiao Shunzi said.
"Very powerful?" Qin Wei didn't know what this Luanshen Powder was.
"Well, if His Majesty hadn't sent you an antidote pill, I'm afraid Your Highness~" Xiao Shunzi didn't say the rest, but Qin Wei knew what it meant.
Lihuang's detoxifying pill can indeed detoxify Chaoshen Powder, but it's a pity that it was delivered a little late.
"Do you know who did it?" Qin Wei asked again.
"People from Shuntian Mansion have already been here, but no useful clues were found." Xiao Shunzi said in a low voice.
Qin Wei narrowed his eyes slightly.
Shuntianfu!
If Shuntian Mansion can find out, then there is a ghost.
However, it is not an easy task to find the murderer who poisoned him, because there are too many people with motives for committing the crime, and it is impossible to find out without clues.
"Change clothes!" Qin Wei said.
"Your Highness, your body has not recovered yet. The imperial doctor said you need to rest more." Xiao Shunzi advised.
"No problem." Qin Wei waved his hand.
Seeing his firm expression, Xiao Shunzi had no choice but to call two maids over to help Qin Wei dress.
These two maids are Chunhua and Qiuyue respectively, and they were the personal maids of the previous body.
Although the county prince's palace is in extremely dangerous situation now, the situation inside the county prince's palace is still full of luxury.
After all, his predecessor was a county king, and he is now the emperor's grandson.
The father of Prince Xin'an was Prince Rui, the ninth son of the current Emperor Li. However, Prince Rui passed away due to illness ten years ago, and his mother, Concubine Li, also died of illness three years ago.
So now Qin Wei has no father and no mother, only the Emperor Li is his grandfather.
After the death of his parents, his predecessor had been living in Prince Rui's Mansion. Although some of his grandmother-in-law didn't care about his uncle, he lived a relatively stable and prosperous life.
It wasn't until the predecessor turned sixteen and was granted the title of Prince Rui that Prince Rui's Mansion became the present Prince Rui's Mansion.
The Prince's Mansion occupies a large area, with brick pavilions, pavilions, terraces and corridors, flowers, trees and stone peaks. It is simple and elegant, full of poetry and painting, and is pleasing to the eye.
There are also many guards and servants in the prince's palace, about two hundred people, all serving Qin Wei alone.
With the support of Xiao Shunzi, Qin Wei came to the main hall of the prince.
"Where is Lin Zhan?" Qin Wei asked, sitting on the couch.
"Has been taken into custody by Shuntian Mansion." Xiao Shunzi said.
"Why?" Qin Wei frowned slightly.
"Shuntian Mansion suspects that he is the murderer who poisoned His Highness." Xiao Shunzi lowered his head and said.
"These idiots!" Qin Wei couldn't help but sneered.
Lin Zhan is the commander of the guards of the county prince's palace. When his predecessor was eight years old, he was in the county prince's palace.
"Have someone go to Shuntian Mansion and bring him back." Qin Wei ordered.
Lin Zhan has followed his predecessor for eight years. To him, he is both a relative and a teacher. To put it simply, he is a trustworthy person.
Now is the time to employ people, so Qin Wei naturally cannot let Lin Zhan stay in the prison of Shuntian Mansion.
"Your Highness, we can't leave the palace now." Xiao Shunzi lowered his head.
"Why!"
"In order to protect His Highness, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has sealed off the Prince's Mansion."
The Five Cities Military and Horse Command Division, namely the Central, East, West, South and North Cities Military and Horse Command Divisions, is the yamen responsible for patrolling thieves in Kyoto, clearing streets, ditches and prisoners, and fire bans. It can be understood as the Public Security Bureau of Kyoto.
and the Integrated Law Enforcement Bureau.
Qin Wei lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
The Prince of Xin'an County was almost poisoned. The guards in the palace and the Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities were all responsible. Now it is normal for the Military and Horse Department to send people to protect him.
But it would be a bit weird to directly blockade the county prince's palace.
Is this protection or house arrest?
"Is there any news from the palace?"
"No, but your Majesty's Eunuch Lu came here before and brought some elixirs and supplements. He didn't say anything," Xiao Shunzi said.
Qin Wei nodded slightly, which showed that the attitude of the palace had not changed, and there was no intention to give up on the prince and the Zhenwu Division.
So the problem with the Army and Horses Division either comes from the palace, or from the court.
Unfortunately, he now knows too little information and cannot determine how many relationships and interests are hidden behind this.
"Help me go to the front of the mansion." Qin Wei said.
If the troops of the five cities dare to blockade the prince's palace, there must be someone behind them.
The servants and guards in the palace will definitely not be able to drive them away, only Qin Wei himself can do it.
For Qin Wei, the most important thing now is to bring the two chess pieces to his side. With them by his side, Qin Wei can feel more at ease.
At this time, the two chess pieces had already entered Kyoto City, and they expected to arrive at the palace soon.
Afterwards.
Qin Wei arrived at the gate of the Prince's Mansion again with Xiao Shunzi's support.
Several buildings in the eastern area of Huayang Street are the residences of the Dali royal family and nobles. There are almost no ordinary people living here, so the spacious streets are very quiet.
The Prince's Mansion is just an inconspicuous one among the majestic mansions, but at this time, there are hundreds of soldiers from the Army and Horses Division gathered in front of the Prince's Mansion.
There was a squeak.
The gate of the county prince's palace, which had been closed for three days, opened, and instantly the eyes of all the soldiers gathered there.
When they saw the weak Qin Wei, they quickly bowed and said: "Greetings to His Highness the County Prince!"
Qin Wei's eyes swept across the soldiers in front of him, and finally stopped on a figure wearing a blue official robe.
The Military and Horse Department of the Five Cities is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and the chief officer is the Military and Horse Envoy, who is a sixth-grade military attache.
"Are you the Dongcheng military envoy?" Qin Wei asked.
The Wucheng Bingma Division is not one yamen, but five yamen.
"Going back to your highness, your subordinate, Luo Yuan, is the military envoy of Dongcheng."
Luo Yuan lowered his eyebrows and said submissively.
"Yes!" Qin Wei nodded and said, "I don't need your protection. You guys should all withdraw."
"This~~" Luo Yuan looked confused and said: "Your Highness, the Ministry of War has ordered us to guard the palace around the palace at all times."
"The Ministry of War! What, are you saying that my king's orders are not as effective as the Ministry of War?"
Qin Wei narrowed his eyes and asked with a half-smile.
"No, no." Luo Yuan shook his head quickly.
"If I remember correctly, the Zhenwu Division has the authority to govern the military and horse divisions of the five cities. Is this your Majesty's explicit decree?" Qin Wei said.
Although the Zhenwu Division is currently just an empty post, the power given to the Zhenwu Division by Emperor Li is very great.
Not only did he have the authority to govern the military and horse divisions of the five cities, he could also mobilize three thousand battalions, and he even had the authority to cooperate with the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Shuntian Prefecture, and local government offices.
"Yes!" Cold sweat broke out on Luo Yuan's forehead.
He is now in a dilemma, with the Ministry of War on one side and the Prince's Palace on the other. He cannot afford to offend anyone.
"If you still have any objections, let the Minister of War come and tell me personally."
Qin Wei said nothing and asked Xiao Shunzi to help him back to the prince's mansion.
His body is very weak now, and even with Xiao Shunzi supporting him, he is still a little unsteady.
As for Luo Yuan, he is just a little guy, so there is no need for too much nonsense.
If Luo Yuan dared to persist in his obsession, Qin Wei wouldn't mind killing him with a knife.
Looking at Qin Wei's back, Luo Yuan's face was gloomy and uncertain. Finally, he sighed helplessly and shouted: "Withdraw!"
"Let someone bring Lin Zhan back. If Shuntian Prefecture won't let him go, go to Shuntian Prefecture Yin and ask him if he needs me to go and ask for him personally."
"Two people will come to see me in a while. You can just bring them in."
Qin Wei returned to the main hall and gave instructions to Xiao Shunzi.
Xiao Shunzi responded and went down to make arrangements.
While Qin Wei was sitting on the soft couch with his eyes closed and calm, he was actually sensing the two chess pieces.
He can sense the approximate position of the chess pieces. The closer the distance, the more accurate the position. However, he cannot see what the chess figures are doing specifically.
About two quarters of an hour later, the two chess figures arrived in front of the county prince's mansion.
Qin Wei opened his eyes and saw Xiao Shunzi leading two strong men over from a distance.
"Who could it be!"
Qin Wei was somewhat looking forward to it.
The two of them were getting closer and closer, and Qin Wei could see their appearance clearly.
One of them was wearing a black outfit. He looked very young and had an ordinary appearance, but he gave people a modest, cheerful and calm demeanor.
The other one has a strong build, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a dignified appearance. He is holding a phoenix-winged gold-plated sword, and his whole body is full of fierce aura.
"Caomin Tie Youxia (Yuwen Chengdu) pays homage to His Royal Highness the Prince!"
The two came to Qin Wei, knelt down and worshiped.
Qin Wei's eyes suddenly lit up.
Iron travel summer!
The Second Iron Hand of the Four Famous Catchers!
Yuwen Chengdu!
The second hero of the Sui and Tang Dynasties!
Both of their cultivations are at the eighth level!
Qin Wei was surprised and happy.
There are nine levels of warriors, with the first level being the lowest level and the ninth level being the upper level. Those with levels seven and above are called masters and have the qualifications to establish sects in the folk world.
Although the eighth-level master is not considered a top master, he can still be considered a master.
The Iron Hands got their name because their iron hands are invulnerable to all poisons and weapons. There is no need to say much about their combat capabilities. The key is that the Iron Hands are one of the four famous hunters, so it is a perfect fit to join the Suppression Division.
As for Yuwen Chengdu, he was a talented general with great literary skills and military skills, and was good at conquering cities and territories. Although Zhenwu Division does not need to conquer cities and territories at the moment, it will definitely be used in the future.
For those powerful sects located deep in the mountains, if you want to force them to submit, you must send out a large army.
"Two heroes, please rise!" Qin Wei said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
After that, Qin Wei began to make arrangements.
Tie Shou and Yu Wencheng are both chess pieces. They are loyal to Qin Wei and can absolutely be trusted.
Therefore, for the time being, Qin Wei placed the two of them on his side to protect himself.
