? The matter of military expenses mentioned was only handled by Feng Mengyou alone. The reason why Yujie and Zhao Jichen were brought over was to let them meet Lu Zilou face to face.

After several people returned to the wing room, Zhao Jichen opened his mouth and said, "Although Mr. Xiao didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, it's not easy to see him like that."

Feng Nange interjected: "I wonder if you have noticed the man behind Xiao Qi? He looks like Xiao Qi's bodyguard. This man's martial arts are extremely strong. A tall man actually hides his figure to reduce his sense of existence. He should have done it before. Killer."

When Feng Nange said this, everyone vaguely remembered the person behind Xiao Qi, and couldn't help but secretly startled.

Yu Jie said, "Then how should we win over that Yang Ziya?"

"Let's live in Luzilou for a few days first, there will always be a chance." Feng Mengyou showed an inscrutable smile on his face.

The next day, Feng Nange got up early to practice his sword as usual.Usually he is alone, but today, there is another person practicing sword with him.

That person was Yang Ziya. In his early years, Yang Ziya's alias was Yang Rengui, he studied under Yaoguang Xingjun in Qiyao Tower, and he was good at listening to flower swordsmanship. He was quite famous in the world.

Seeing Feng Nange now, he felt even more competitive, and couldn't help but invite him.

Feng Nange naturally agreed, he thought this was a perfect opportunity.

The sword light swept up, but it was as bright and moving as a flower blooming.But behind that touching person, there is an overwhelming sword intent attacking him.

Listening to the flower sword technique is really well-deserved.Feng Nange secretly admired it in his heart.

He couldn't help using the set of Wuwang magical skills in Wuwangzhai to fend off the enemy. When the sword light was flowing, he couldn't tell the winner for a while.

Yang Ziya has devoted himself to martial arts for many years, and he thinks that there are not many people in his generation who can fight him for more than a hundred moves.But unfortunately, this Feng Nange was one of them.

He gradually became confused about this set of exercises, but he understood something.After two hundred moves, Feng Nange's sword had been released.

"I lost." Feng Nange cupped his hands.

"Acceptance." Yang Ziya put on a smiling face, "I don't know where the knight's inner strength comes from. Yang has so little knowledge that he doesn't know it."

Feng Nange smiled: "My younger brother is a teacher of Wuwangzhai." After saying that, he put away his sword and left.

Yang Ziya stood where he was, with a strange expression on his face.

Yu Jie never expected that what Feng Mengyou said to win over Yang Ziya would be so straightforward.

That's right, a few days later, Feng Mengyou directly told Yang Ziya and Yu Jie about the conspiracy.

Yang Ziya was a little startled but didn't say a word, Xiao Qi said dumbfoundedly: "Why does Princess Wu trust us so much?"

Zhao Jichen frowned, Feng Mengyou's actions were too risky.

Feng Mengyou still had a smiling face: "Probably because of my intuition, I feel that the two young masters have a friendly face, even if they disagree, they will not report us."

Yu Jie couldn't help sighing in his heart, a woman's intuition is really scary.

Xiao Qi said: "Xiao now has a job in the Imperial College, and he is very leisurely every day. I am really not interested in such proposals from Princess Wu. I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter," Feng Mengyou turned to look at Yang Ziya, but he had a look of disdain: "My Yang family's ancestors have been loyal to the emperor and patriotism for generations, even though I, Yang, are nothing in the officialdom, it's just this kind of conspiracy and treason. Absolutely will not participate in such a move.”

"Okay." Feng Mengyou clapped his hands, "Young Master Yang's loyalty can be learned from heaven and earth. Since this is the case, then we have nothing to talk about, but I hope that the two of you will not disappoint my trust."

Xiao Qi nodded: "It's natural."

After the two returned to the room, Yang Ziya asked, "Ming Shen, how credible do you think their words are?"

Xiao Qi shook his head: "I don't know. But there is one thing that is very strange. Why do they want to win us over? Just because of the power of our two families? Things are not that simple."

"Don't you hate these things the most on weekdays? You still think about what they do. Anyway, we all refused. Besides, my greatest wish is to grow old with you in peace." Yang Ziya looked indifferent, and stepped forward Take Xiao Qi into his arms.

Xiao Qi didn't reject his warm embrace, but just sighed silently: "It looks like another disaster. Xing, the people suffer, and death, the people suffer."

Yang Ziya kissed his face lightly, and gradually lowered his hands: "The emperor's anger should also be gone, let's set off for Beijing tomorrow."

Xiao Qi's jade-like face blushed a little, but he didn't stop him, and his soft reply was also covered up in the passionate kiss...

When the two returned to Beijing, Yang Ziya went to the Ministry of Rites as usual and then returned home. Unexpectedly, he met his father and elder brother who had just returned from court. Don't bite the bullet and go up to greet them.

The emperor is not in a good mood recently, and he didn't show any good looks to the ministers.Yang Jugang was devastated at the emperor's place, and when he came home to meet his son who might not see him for half a month, he was even more angry.

"Where did you go wild recently?"

"Go back to father, my son went to Hangzhou."

"Hangzhou?" Yang Ju frowned, "What are you going to do? It can't be another mess in the rivers and lakes."

Yang Ziya stood respectfully, without saying a word.

"Come on, go down. I've told you for so many years, but you haven't made any progress. Shu'er, let's go." Yang Ju seemed to have given up on this son.

Yang Shu looked at his younger brother with some concern, and followed his father.

On the other side, Xiao Qi, who had just arrived home not long ago, was also called by his father to ask questions.

"Mingshen, your sister's birthday will be on the seventh day of the next month. Your sister is not too young. Your mother and I want to find a good husband's family for her. I know you just came back from Hangzhou, and the journey was tiring. , it's just that this matter is a little urgent..."

Xiao Qi glanced at his father, probably understood what he meant.

He has no intention of going into politics, and his parents have never forced him.But the father is a member of the main battle faction after all, and the son is useless, so it is good to have a son-in-law to help.

He lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then he proposed several candidates: "I will write invitations and send them to each family. Father, please don't worry."

Xiao Yu nodded, pondered for a while, and decided to speak: "Ming Shen, what do you think of Yang Ziya?"

Xiao Qi replied unhurriedly: "He and I have always been on good terms, but we are not married. In addition, his elder brother Yang Shu is a celebrity in front of the emperor, if his younger sister marries him, it must be good. Yes. I didn't think well enough and didn't add him."

Xiao Yu could only sigh to himself, if his son was enlightened, he might not be much worse than that genius Yang Shu.

Xiao Shaoyan's birthday was approaching in no time, and everyone knew in their hearts that the so-called birthday party was just to choose a son-in-law for Miss Xiao's family.There were not too many people invited, such as Lord Yuanshuo, the second son of Yushi Zhongcheng, etc., but they were all outstanding young people in the capital.

Xiao Qi greeted the guests together with his father, when Yang Ziya arrived, he smiled meaningfully at him, Xiao Qi blushed a little, so he could only say to Xiao Yu: "Father, Young Master Yang and I will go over there to talk. "

Yang Ziya was dragged to the side hall by him, and he said with some inexplicable meaning: "You really want me to marry your sister? But it's not bad, if you marry Shaoyan, you can get a brother-in-law for nothing."

"Okay," Xiao Qi agreed without hesitation, "If Shaoyan is interested in you, I, as an older brother, should let her go."

"You dare." Yang Ziya hugged Xiao Qi and kissed the lips that made him want to stop. Although he knew that Xiao Qi did it on purpose, why is his indifferent attitude so irritating...

Xiao Qi pushed him away, and said with a smile: "Don't make trouble, there is still something to do. I want you to help me choose. You also know that my father also wants a son-in-law who can help him in the officialdom."

"Why can't you help him?"

Xiao Qi sighed: "I'm not filial in this matter. It's just that the matter has come to this point, it's useless to talk about it."

The banquet was in full swing, and I don't know when it was the habit of always reciting poems to make a match.

However, Marquis Yuan Shuo refused again and again, saying that he knew nothing about poetry and prose, so it was fine to punish himself with alcohol.

Everyone laughed, but they didn't make things difficult for him, so they asked Xiao Shaoyan to pose the question.

Xiao Shaoyan thought for a while, and said, "The sky and the river are all the same color and there is no dust, and there is a lone moon in the bright sky. You gentlemen, take this bright moon as the theme, and write a poem."

Someone in the banquet said: "Miss Xiao's question is difficult to say, but easy to say. The difficult thing is that the ancients have jewels and jades in front of them. How can we play well?"

The second son of the Yushi Zhongcheng's family said: "I am not talented, I would like to give it a try."

For a while, everyone was quiet, waiting for the second young master to recite poems.Unexpectedly, there was a sudden change, a group of men in black barged in for no reason, Yang Ziya saw that they were disguised as secret guards, so he whispered to Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi nodded and walked forward.

Xiao Yu stood up and asked, "I don't know who you are? How dare you break into my Xiao residence without reason?"

The leader of those hidden guards was none other than Tang Zhuhuan. He took out a placard of his identity from his pocket and said, "We are members of the hidden guards. My lord Xiao, I'm sorry. It's just that the emperor just received the news that there are people in Xiao's residence." Participated in the rebellion, so we were sent here to investigate. I am really sorry if I disturbed your interest."

Xiao Qi was startled, and couldn't help but glance at Yang Ziya, Yang Ziya shook his head at him, saying that it was definitely not about Hangzhou, Xiao Qi felt a little relieved.

Xiao Yu apologized and said with a smile: "Treason? Give me a lot of courage, I don't dare to rebel."

"Then Master Xiao means that the emperor's news is wrong?"

Xiao Qi stopped in front of his father, and replied: "That's absolutely not the intention. But the emperor said that our Xiao family rebelled, so we must show some evidence."

Tang Zhuhuan sneered: "The evidence is in your Xiao Mansion." He glanced at everyone, "Anyway, all the sons of the aristocratic families are here, so please be a witness." Then he walked towards the backyard of Xiao Mansion.

"This..." Xiao Yu broke out in cold sweat behind his back.

Xiao Qi supported his father and said in a low voice: "Our Xiao residence has always been upright and upright, the emperor may have misheard some rumors, father must not panic."

Xiao Yu nodded, and followed everyone to the backyard.

In the backyard, Tang Zhuhuan first walked around a few times, then chose a place, and said, "Here it is, let's dig."

But after a while, a secret passage appeared.

Xiao Yu was stunned. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he wanted to defend himself but couldn't speak up.

Yang Ziya secretly thought it was not good, and hurriedly told Xiao Qi's bodyguard Chu Jingchen: "If something happens later, you must rescue Mingshen."

Chu Jingchen answered briefly and forcefully: "Naturally."

Everyone followed the hidden guards down the secret passage, and the scene in the secret passage scared Xiao Yu into a cold sweat. Various newly made weapons were displayed everywhere in the secret passage, and at the end of the secret passage, there was actually a yellow robe .

Tang Zhuhuan looked at Xiao Yu: "What else do you have to say? Arrest all the people in Xiao's residence."

There was a hidden guard who wanted to get close to Xiao Qi, but before Xiao Qi could stop him, the hidden guard was beheaded by Chu Jingchen with a sword.

"Jing Chen..." Xiao Qi understood that after his sword pierced down, there was no turning point for this matter.

Sure enough, Tang Zhuhuan continued to order: "The emperor has an order, if you dare to resist arrest, you will be executed."

Those young masters who came to the banquet, upon hearing this, immediately fled to the secret road. After all, the Xiao Mansion is about to fall, and no one wants to have anything to do with them again.

In an instant, a birthday party turned into a slaughterhouse. Xiao Yu knew that this was inevitable, so he simply pushed Xiao Qi towards Chu Jingchen: "Qi'er, go!"

"Father..." Before Xiao Qi finished speaking, Tang Zhuhuan's sword pierced Xiao Yu's heart, and he sneered: "No one wants to leave today."

There are more and more enemies, Chu Jingchen sees that the situation is not good, he pulls Xiao Qi up and prepares to escape with light kung fu: "Master, there are too many enemies here, we'd better leave first."

Xiao Qi gritted his teeth and nodded, but saw that Yang Ziya had joined the battle at some point, and the one protected by him was his younger sister Xiao Shaoyan, he couldn't help shouting: "Ziya, Shaoyan... ..."

Yang Ziya had no time to distract himself during the battle, he heard Xiao Qi's voice, and replied: "You guys go first, we will come later."

Chu Jingchen suffered some minor injuries, but this did not affect him in the slightest from performing lightness kung fu. After a while, they asked the pursuers to find an alley to stay.

Seeing that there were bloodstains on his body, Xiao Qi couldn't help asking: "Where did you get hurt?"

Chu Jingchen signaled him not to worry: "It's not my blood."

Xiao Qi was relieved now, and then asked: "Can Ziya and the others find this place?"

"Don't worry, young master, I made an appointment with him to meet here."

The two waited for about half a quarter of an hour before Yang Ziya and Xiao Shaoyan were covered in blood.

"How are you?" Xiao Qi was very worried, and Yang Ziya breathed a sigh of relief, put down Xiao Shaoyan, who had passed out, and said, "My injury is fine, it's Shaoyan, I didn't protect her enough, and she was hit by a bullet." sword."

Chu Jingchen stepped forward and touched Xiao Shaoyan's big acupoints, and said, "We must leave the city tonight, otherwise..."

Yang Ziya interjected: "Jing Chen is right, but Shao Yan said that she..."

When the three of them were worrying, Xiao Shaoyan woke up and turned around. She said weakly, "Brother, Mr. Yang, let's go, I'm afraid...it won't last long."

"Shaoyan, I will definitely save you." Xiao Qi felt heartbroken looking at his seriously injured sister.

Xiao Shaoyan shook his head: "I'm afraid it's a burden for you to take me with you... Let's go, brother, do you remember the place we often go on outings? There is a willow tree there. Put a grave for me there."

Xiao Shaoyan tried his best to finish these words, his voice was even weaker, but they could vaguely hear the sound of horseshoes not far away, Chu Jingchen urged: "Master, hurry up, they are coming."

First, his father died before his own eyes, and now even his younger sister can't be saved.After this drastic change, Xiao Qi almost burst into tears. He hated the person who caused all this.At this time, he could only endure, he took one last look at his sister and decided to leave.

And Xiao Shaoyan's last words were firmly nailed in his mind, remembering to avenge his father, his mother, and me.

Chu Jingchen killed three guards patrolling the gate of the city, changed into their clothes, and was able to escape from the city. After deliberation, everyone decided to go to a small town not far from the capital. The horses then left immediately.

Yang Ziya couldn't hold on any longer, and he passed out before walking far.

Xiao Qi was startled, and asked: "Jing Chen, what's wrong with him?"

Chu Jingchen frowned, and pushed Yang Ziya's guard armor away, only to find that his underwear had already been soaked in blood: "Miss was seriously injured, and he is not much better. Fortunately, he has practiced martial arts all the year round, and his physique is better than ordinary people's." Okay, but we won't be able to leave for a while."

When Yang Ziya woke up, he was already in Ci County not far from the capital.

Sitting beside him was Xiao Qi who fell asleep on the table, while Chu Jingchen leaned against the corner of the wall and fell asleep leaning on his sword.Yang Ziya wanted to get up, but the wound was involved, so he couldn't help but groan.

But he woke up the two of them, Xiao Qi looked at him in surprise: "You finally woke up."

"I'm fine." He looked at Xiao Qi with some distress, "You've become haggard a lot."

Xiao Qi sighed: "It's hurting you, I don't know your father and elder brother..."

Yang Ziya held his hand: "The emperor will not do anything to them. Since I chose to protect you, there is no reason to go back."

Xiao Qi's heart warmed, and he almost shed tears. He knew that Yang Ziya finally chose him in the choice of family and lover.

He inadvertently raised his head and looked out of the window. At this time, the sky had turned white, and after a long night, dawn finally dawned.
