Thought

A faint light appeared in the sky, and before the darkness left, the silent capital suddenly became noisy.The chaotic footsteps stepped on the stone slabs and made a "stepping" sound, which instantly awakened the sleeping Kyoto.

"Open the door, open the door." The slamming sound of the door echoed in the Zhuangyuan Building, and the rough male voice not only made people panic.

Xiao Er, who lived in the building, came out from behind the curtain sleepily, and was instantly awakened by the slapping wooden door. He stepped forward and shouted through the door panel, "Who is it! It's early in the morning, and the champion building has not yet arrived It's time to open the door!"

There was a knock on the door, and Xiao Er thought that what he said had worked, and couldn't help feeling a little elated, but unexpectedly, there was a bang, and the wooden board blocking the door cracked and cracked.A few more heavy kicks, the board was unbearable and was kicked to the ground.

After a burst of dust, the face of the visitor was revealed.

Officers and soldiers in official uniforms swarmed in, pushed the shivering Xiaoer aside, and swept the Zhuangyuan Building.

"Master, it's not good." Seeing that the shopkeeper was in a bad situation, he climbed up to Ji Lan's window from the backyard, slammed through the window, and rolled to the ground, "Master, for some reason, the officers and soldiers came towards Mu Nian's menacingly." The room is gone."

Ji Lan sat up from the bed with a sullen face, threw the quilt behind her, picked up the clothes on the screen, and put them on.While wearing it, he ordered, "Tell our people to withdraw for the time being."

"Also, tell someone to look at the situation. It is better to tell Mu Nian to die than to leave him to others." Ji Lan quickly fastened her belt, jumped out of the window, and landed on the window of a remote room on the first floor.

Lightly entering through the broken window, Ji Lan swept away the firewood in the corner, groped the ground for a while, and found a crack.Vigorously, a bluestone slab was lifted, and the dust washed down, revealing a dark passage.

Ji Lan jumped down, and the bluestone slab fell.

The sound of hurried footsteps came, and Mu Nian, who had been sitting at the table all night, slowly stood up, stretched his stiff body, and calmly walked to the door one step away, leaving a distance, which happened to be the space where the door was pushed open .

The door was kicked open with a slap, and the officers and soldiers rushed in with a vicious look on their faces, and turned the room into a mess. The officers and soldiers standing in front of Mu Nian suppressed their voices and said expressionlessly, "Someone admitted that you cheated in the exam. And help others to cheat. Come with us!"

Mu Nian didn't struggle at all, and followed behind the officers and soldiers obediently, and the officers and soldiers who called to arrest him all looked sideways.When I went out and saw another scholar who was arguing that I was wronged, and regarded himself as a scholar berating officers and soldiers, I felt that this was a normal situation.

He is definitely not abnormal!

"Mu Nian, have you been arrested too?" Guo Songyu, who was making a lot of noise, suddenly fell silent, looked at Mu Nian with strange eyes, and suddenly laughed foolishly, "I thought you were such an important person, but in the end Still the same result."

Having said that, Guo Songyu stopped scolding and was not afraid, and followed behind the official, as if he was in his own right.

The officers and soldiers who were called to arrest people all looked sideways, how did this year's talent qualify for the examination?

After being thrown into the cage, Mu Nian looked at the surrounding environment, Shi Shiran found a clean place to sit down, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

"I don't think you're scared at all?" The scholars who were already in the prison cell looked at Mu Nian's calm look, some sneered, and some were still full of fear.

Another cautiously approached Mu Nian, "What's the name of this brother? Xie Fan was also arrested today. It was only an hour and a half earlier than you. I don't know who confessed you." !"

Xie Fan?Before an image appeared in Mu Nian's mind, his nose twitched involuntarily for a moment, and the familiar smell instantly enveloped him.The corners of Mu Nian's eyes twitched slightly, Ma Xun's stinky medicine was still fresh in his memory.

"Mu Nian, it's better for Xie Xiongtai to be cautious when speaking, we are just innocent people who were caught by mistake." Mu Nian looked at Xie Fan with a trace of pity in his eyes, 'poor baby'.

Being looked at by Mu Nian with pity, Xie Fan suddenly didn't realize it, but when he saw Mu Nian talking to him, he immediately beat him with a stick, "Brother Mu, you are right, my younger brother is a very innocent person!"

"Although my younger brother also participated in the examination, I really don't like reading! The scholar has already ruined my old life to barely occupy the end. I wrote blindly in the examination. Who knows, I still took up one." Tail." Xie Fan looked desperate.

It's just that these words are particularly harsh to the ears of the people around, especially one of the old scholars who failed the exam again and again, this time he failed to live up to expectations.

Hearing that someone cheated in this meeting, he was overjoyed at the moment, bragging about how capable he was in the streets and alleys, and those cheaters took his place.

Once or twice, he was arrested.

Hearing Xie Fan's phone call at this time, all nonsense writing takes up the top spot. Isn't it saying that he, who has studied hard for more than ten years, is doing day work?It is simply unreasonable!

"Huangkou kid, you're talking nonsense." The old scholar yelled, "Don't you know that you are cheating and occupying other people's positions through improper means. The corpse is a vegetarian meal, and the corpse is a vegetarian meal. Dayan was corrupted by people like you!"

Xie Fan looked puzzled, and turned to explain to Mu Nian, "Don't worry, this old gentleman has been a little abnormal since he was arrested by the officials and put into the cell. gone."

When the people around heard Xie Fan's words, those who had stayed for a long time just looked at him lightly, their expressions were sparse and normal, obviously knowing that Xie Fan was such a big-hearted person.

Some people who had just met looked at Xie Fan in surprise, whether they really didn't understand or pretended not to understand, seeing that he was so angry that his beard was raised.

Mu Nian smiled slightly, expressing his understanding.It's no wonder that this person who appears here now, such a careless person is really suitable for a trip in the prison, and he won't leave any shadow when he goes out.

Seeing Mu Nian looking at him gently, Xie Fan suddenly had the desire to confide, and complained with a crying face, "It's all my father's fault, everyone else is a cheating father, only my father is a cheating son. I have already said that I will not participate I will try it, but he insisted that I participate, now it’s all right, let’s send his only son to prison! Let’s see who he will ask to help him in the future.”

Xue Yi glanced at Xie Fan, what he said was actually correct, he had indeed cheated on his son, and it is rare in the world for a father to send his son to a prison cell.

At the same time, on the spacious and straight road of the palace, a bright yellow carriage slowly moved forward.

Those who can stay in the palace without getting out of the carriage, coupled with Minghuang's color, their identities are clearly revealed.Except for the emperor, there is only the crown prince who had the permission of Emperor Yan to ride a carriage in the palace.

At this time, the prince in the carriage looked at the person in the carriage with a complicated expression, "Gu never thought that one day it would be like this, and he would ride in the same carriage with Xue Qing."

Xue Yi had a smile on his face, and even showed a trace of respect, "Please trouble the prince to bring the ministers into the palace."

The prince waved his hand, "It's okay, it's just on the way."

Xue Yi smiled and cupped his hands to thank him, "Thank you, Prince."

The carriage returned to silence, and the crown prince sized up the dark and calm Xue Yi, for a moment he was not sure of Xue Yi's attitude and purpose.The Xue Yi in his impression is bold and small, but at the same time, he is fearless and tyrannical.

He couldn't hook up with today's Xue Yi at all, as if Xue Yi approached him today and asked to take him into the palace.The attitude is respectful but there is a hint of firm confidence. Although he is dressed as a servant, he does not show the slightest embarrassment.

What is the purpose of entering the palace in such a hidden way?

No matter how long the road is, there will be an end.

The crown prince walked in front, Liang Zhu came out to greet him in person, his gaze remained unchanged when he glanced at a servant beside the crown prince, "His Royal Highness, please come this way."

After entering the hall, Liang Zhu calmly dispersed the surrounding people.

"My son sees my father."

"My minister sees the emperor."

Emperor Yan, who was reviewing the memorial, paused the hand holding the vermilion pen, raised his head and looked at the prince and courtiers who had seen him, "Get up!".

"Thank you, Father."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yan glanced at Xue Yi who got up with inexplicable eyes, and suddenly seemed to see another person over Xue Yi, "The tiger father has no dogs, you look like your father by five points."

"Father's majesty is not as powerful as many ministers." Xue Yi thought of the man in his memory and sighed to himself.

Emperor Yan smiled, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"The emperor's honorable name." Xue Yi took out a token from his bosom, and personally presented it to Emperor Yan.Changxi wanted to stop, and asked Emperor Yan to signal with his eyes, and the right foot that stepped out returned to the original place.

Emperor Yan held the token and stroked the swallow pattern on the token with his fingers, "I have seen this pattern when I was a child, it was in the painting of the former emperor, and I couldn't find it when I looked for it later."

Put the token lightly on the dragon case, "I don't want to see it from you again today."

"This is the Swallow Order for the command of Yanwei." Xue Yi explained, "I got it from my father's subordinates this year."

Emperor Yan's gaze was slightly blank, "It is rumored that Dayan has a dark guard to protect Dayan in the dark. It has existed since the time of the former emperor, but I never came and heard the mention of the former emperor, so I thought it was just a rumor."

"This was cultivated by Empress Zhaoren of the previous dynasty. After Dayan was established, it became the guardian of Dayan. It was led by Xue Shuru and commanded by the blood of the Xue family, and swore to guard Dayan to the death." Xue Yi obtained Yan Guard at the same time. At this time, we can also understand why the Xiang family and the Xue family can survive to this day.

It was Queen Zhaoren who exchanged all her hard work for the safety of the two families.

At that time, the first emperor, one of the country's wars did not allow the war to continue.The second former emperor admired Empress Zhaoren, a woman who supported the precarious former dynasty, her ability should not be underestimated, as can be seen from the dark guard ability she cultivated.

People's hearts are changeable, and there is still a trace of respect for Queen Zhaoren.The first emperor kept the agreement at that time and brought the existence of Yanwei into the imperial tomb.

"No wonder, no wonder." Emperor Yan suddenly murmured to himself, beating the Turks to the brink of extinction, an unprecedented feat.At that time, courtiers wrote letters to him many times, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan communicated with Turks in private, which made this achievement possible.

He didn't believe it, but he didn't dare to let Xue Shuru go.
