After the failed assassination of the powerful minister

Shuo Wang stumbled all the way back to the south of the Yangtze River on Jue Ying.

When he arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, there were still two days before New Year's Eve. He came back in a hurry, and quietly groped through the Suoming Gate and entered the Consul's Pavilion.

The Consul's Pavilion is the place where the victim came to ask for his life and leave the list and the reward order. The list is the killer designated by the victim, and the reward order is waiting for the killer to reveal it.

As New Year's Eve approached, the killers also had to go back to celebrate the New Year. There were bounty orders posted on the four walls of the room, covering the walls.

The old man Cai, who was guarding in the Consular Pavilion, was sitting behind the cabinet, roasting charcoal fire, and poked his head out when he heard someone coming in.

I saw a young man wrapped in coarse linen and holding a gray headband with his messy hair bristling. His back was facing him. He raised his slender arms and took off three or four bounty orders.

The old man Cai recognized who this young man was at a glance. Seeing that he won so many reward orders without fear of exhaustion, his eyes were straightened: "Shuowang! What are you doing for revealing so many reward orders?! Why did you run out again after Chinese New Year!"

Shuo Wang's voice was hoarse: "Uncle Cai, I want to find something to do."

Ever since his name was listed on the list of Suomingmen killers, he never celebrated the Chinese New Year with everyone in Suomingmen.

The world is bustling with people, and the New Year's Eve, when the family is reunited and happy, is an unattainable luxury for him.When he first came to Suomingmen, Nie Hai took care of him. During the Chinese New Year, his new clothes and red paper never fell out.

Everyone in Suomingmen also took good care of him.

He was very grateful for this, but when he sat at the dinner table of the New Year's Eve, he still felt out of place.

Sitting at the banquet, I can always think of the New Year’s Eve in Prince Zhao’s mansion a long time ago. There were lights and festoons in the mansion. He and his three or five friends returned to the mansion after being crazy. , fished dumplings wrapped in copper coins for him and Cen Xian.

Cen Xian sat beside him, with a smile hidden in his dark eyes.

Now that the old man is not there, it will only increase the sadness.

So when he grows up to be able to take care of himself alone, he will never celebrate New Year's Eve again.

He always quietly uncovered many bounty orders, and ran away without a trace.

He is also very particular about revealing the reward order. On New Year's Eve, he only accepts outlaws, and never disturbs the vigil of those with families.

Old Man Cai's voice sounded again: "Hey...then why don't you say hello to your Uncle Nie?"

"No," Shuowang strung up the reward order with a wire, "I'm afraid he'll get angry and talk about me."

The young man showed a bright smile: "Let him think that I will spend New Year's Eve in Shangjing. Grandpa Cai, don't sell me out."

Old man Cai snorted: "When did I ever sell you! But when you come back, you should bring me a bamboo leaf green altar!"

Shuo Wang smiled and agreed.

On New Year's Eve, every household is decorated with lanterns and festoons, from Jiangnan to Shangjing, it is full of joyful red.There are overlapping figures on the street, and children carry red paper lanterns through the streets and alleys.New Year's Eve is the new day, there is no moon on this day, but the sky is not gloomy. Rich people set off firecrackers, and the sky is full of gorgeous fire trees and silver flowers, covering the entire sky.

Everyone in Suomingmen gathered together for dinner, Nanyan took a big chicken leg for Zifu, and another for Shuowang, but he was not around the table.

Nie Hai's daughter next to her pulled her by the sleeve: "Brother Ah Shuo is still not coming back this year, sister Nanyan, let's sit down and eat!"

In Anning Hou's mansion, Jiang Yuan was forcing Jiang Jinyue to drink chicken soup. Everyone in the Hou's mansion watched them laughing non-stop. Jiang Jinyue swallowed the soup bitterly. head off.

There was a family banquet in the palace, the empress dowager and the eldest princess Wei Changle were sitting together talking, the little emperor was busy eating snacks, his mouth was full of yellow pastry crumbs, a young man in black standing beside the eldest princess came Next to the little emperor, he knelt down and wiped off the pastry crumbs for him.

……

The Jinyiwei group, Xiaoliu and the servants of the mansion took the reward money wrapped in red paper by Cen Xian himself, and were sent out by Cen Xian to play.

In the huge mansion, he is the only one left now.

He knelt down in front of the case, and there was a box of snacks on the table.It was a reward from the palace.New Year's Eve is a family banquet, and the state banquet will only be used in the palace on the first day of the next day. To show the grace, a bunch of things were rewarded to the ministers, and cakes were one of them.

Cen Xian didn't like to eat, so a fluffy black head protruded from the pastry on the table next to the door, and meowed at him a few times.

The ruthless and murderous commander at the center of outsiders' rumors looked at the little black cat, and when the cat saw him looking over, it jumped over affectionately and hugged his palm with its fluffy black head.

Cen Xian sighed, stretched out his hand to rub the cat's head, hooked the kitten's chin, the kitten purred comfortably, narrowed its beautiful eyes, and turned over to Cen Xian, revealing its soft belly.

"I hate people and are afraid of ghosts," Cen Xian said in a very low voice, "Why do you always come forward without fear of death?"

The kitten who answered him meowed, licked his finger lightly with its pink tongue, and then lightly ground it with its teeth.

Cen Xian couldn't help laughing, and broke the expensive dim sum made by the royal dining room into small pieces, and fed them to the little black cat.

A few copper-green and purple fireworks exploded in the distant sky, illuminating the entire city of Shangjing.

It also illuminates the afterimage of a lonely lamp in front of the case in the room.

And in the vast and boundless wilderness, Shuo Wang stepped on the snow, wearing a straw hat, walking in the dark night, and the horizontal knife that had not been sheathed was dripping with bright red blood.

The startled person in front of him stared with eyes like copper bells, and the wound on his neck was deep enough to fit half of the horizontal knife.He staggered a few times, convulsed and fell into the snow.

There were wolves howling in the distance, and he had cold eyes, dragged the dead man a few steps, and threw him on the snow again.

He bit the wire that tied the bounty order in his mouth, and with his free hand, he tore off the bounty order that had already been marked with vermilion, got on Jueying, and continued on to the next target.

In the middle of the night, Shuo Wang finally beheaded the last person, without even washing the blood on his face, he rushed towards Suo Mingmen with a fierce look on his face.

When he arrived at Jiangnan Street, he lowered the brim of his hat and dared not go in through the main entrance. He found a wall and turned in. He put the Zhuyeqing he just bought by Old Man Cai's window, then took off his hat and went back to his bedroom.

In the main hall in front, there were still a few people who were not asleep watching the night, so Shuo Wang didn't go there, instead, he took a long detour and passed the small courtyard where Ye Tiao lived.

The courtyard door was open, and Shuo Wang casually glanced at it, and saw Ye Yuan kneeling in the courtyard, with a memorial tablet on the table in front of him, and the words engraved on it were illuminated by the dim candlelight——

King Zhao Wei's spirit of sincerity...

Shuo Wang couldn't help but read these words in a low voice. Ye Yuan, who was kneeling, heard the movement, and hurriedly got up to put the tablet away, but Shuo Wang's hand was tightly grasped the next moment.

Ye Yu couldn't break free, looked at Shuo Wang and wanted to tell Shuo Wang to let go, but before he could say anything, he saw that Shuo Wang's eyes were scarlet, the blood on his face was congealed and turned black, and he looked like a ghost crawling out of hell.

Ye Tiao was so frightened that he couldn't speak a word.

The evil ghost said fiercely: "Who asked you to enshrine this tablet!!"

Ye Yu calmed down for a moment, then stumbled and said, "I... am my father."

Shuo Wang was taken aback, Ye Wenwen?

Ye Yu's intermittent voice sounded: "My father, since... since the death of King Zhao, he has been enshrining this tablet... Later, before he was... executed, he asked me to continue to enshrine it after I was saved."

"I don't know why," Ye Yuan said, "but this is my father's last wish...I will definitely fulfill it..."

Shuo Wang let go of Ye Yuan's hand, snatched the memorial tablet into his hand, and walked out the door in a daze.

Ye Yu didn't dare to go up to him to ask him for it, so he could only cry anxiously where he was, watching Shuowang leave.

Ye Wenwen... Ye Wenwen...

He used to be a subordinate of King Zhao. When Shuo Wang was still the crown prince, he still called him Uncle Ye.

Even King Zhao wanted him to make a baby kiss with Ye Yu, but at the time he was clinging to Cen Xian, thinking that he would not be able to be with Cen Xian if he had a baby baby kiss, so he refused to agree anyway.

But later, Ye Wenwen and a few of Zhaowang's subordinates also broke the news about Zhaowang's private possession of armor.Those subordinates... are now either dead or injured... most of them are...

Jin Yiwei's handwriting.

Shuo Wang felt a pain in his heart, as if the blood had flowed back!

In his chaotic memory, he remembered that when he brought Ye Yuan down to the south of the Yangtze River, he asked Jiang Jinyue thoughtfully: "Then Cen Xian robbed her because of her secrets?"

Inside the carriage at that time, Cen Xian opened his eyes, as if looking at him, and said calmly, "No, I already know what I want to know."

"I saved her, but to fulfill a promise."

All the things were stacked together and strung together by a thread, Shuo Wang's eyes became redder, he knew that as long as he pulled out the thread, everything would be revealed in front of him.

Cen Xian saved Ye Yuan because of a promise, what did he exchange for this promise?

At that time, no one in Prince Zhao's mansion believed that King Zhao would hide the armor privately, and the court also criticized it a lot.Hiding armor privately is a serious crime of treason!King Zhao Wei Yicheng led troops to guard the frontier when he was a teenager, would he rebel?

But the evidence is conclusive, the first emperor decreed to copy the whole family of his younger brother Wei Yicheng, as a warning to others.

Since then, the case has been sealed in dust, and there will be no time to see the light of day.

Cen Xian is now a powerful minister. Does he want anything? Even if he is a soldier, he still has the Peking University Camp and Jinyiwei. What else can he exchange with a prisoner?

What he exchanged with Ye Wenwen... Shuo Wang was holding on to the tablet, and the only thing he could think of now was the case of his father, King Zhao.

Does Cen Xian want to avenge the injustice of King Zhao back then?

He quickly ran back to his dormitory, placed his father's tablet on the table, and shivered, lit a lamp in front of the tablet.

Dim lights illuminated the pitch-black tablet, and Shuo Wang's almost human face.

so what?Why drive him away?Was it because he was afraid that the capital would be so big that someone would recognize him as a remnant of Prince Zhao's mansion? !

I want to ask him clearly, Shuowang suddenly thought, even if forced, I will force him to speak.

Shuo Wang grabbed the horizontal knife she had placed in front of the table, turned around and went out!

Baima Jueying neighed in the middle of the night, and Shuo Wang had already disappeared at the end of the alley before the person who claimed the door could react.

The author says:

The stupid author handed the microphone to Shuo Wang: Let's have a reasonable discussion, do you really dare and be willing to press him?

Synodic: ...

Now the pressure is on Commander-sama's side——
