Chapter 1153 1154 [In the White Blade]

It was extremely quiet inside Chengtian Hall.

Some ministers even thought there was something wrong with their ears.

Regardless of whether Xiao Jin sent someone to assassinate Pei Yue or not, he would not fall at this time - the emperor would never allow this to happen. But from another perspective, the imperial struggle has never been an overnight decision, it is a long struggle.

This is the norm. Only by seizing every opportunity can you achieve the final victory.

Therefore, in the eyes of the court officials, when the object of most people's suspicions points to Xiao Jin, Pei Yue only needs to make the right misfortune to push Xiao Jin into a more difficult situation. Even if Liu Xian this time from

Considering the overall situation and ignoring the impeachments, as long as Xiao Jin fails to clear his suspicions, his prestige in the court will gradually decrease.

This is the most reasonable way to respond to a power struggle.

However, Pei Yue not only did not do this, but categorically isolated Xiao Jin from the assassination case. This move actually made Liu Xian relieved.

It has only been four months since he took the throne. Naturally, he does not want to see the two feuding ministers getting into a fight. Pei Yue is willing to take the initiative to give in. This is the situation he hopes to see the most.

Zhong felt a little ashamed of Pei Yue's suspicion.

Thinking of this, Liu Xian sighed and said: "Pei Qing understands the great righteousness, which is rare. I agree with you. The Marquis of Xiangcheng is definitely not the mastermind behind the assassination. This matter must be a secret conspiracy of the enemy. However, Pei

As the Duke of Daliang, you were assassinated in the capital. If I cannot catch the murderer and bring justice to your family, I will never give up!"

These words were so murderous that all the ministers were in awe.

Pei Yue stared at Liu Xian's firm eyes, feeling a little sad in his heart.

Liu Xian and Emperor Kaiping's attitudes towards him were like two extremes. The latter could never be completely reassured. Even if he gave Pei Yue the greatest respect before his death, he would still have a back-up to counterattack. On the other hand, Liu Xian has been on the throne since he came to the throne.

, there is no need to elaborate on the trust and respect for Pei Yue, and this is not a superficial effort, and he even had disagreements with the Empress Dowager Wu at certain times.

When Emperor Kaiping was alive, Pei Yue knew that the other party would repeatedly suppress and balance, but he still had to uphold his loyalty. The most outrageous move was to shift the focus of Xiangyun Hao and Qinyuan from Kyoto to the lower state capital. What he wanted was to himself.

The word "guarantee".

Liu Xian was now unsuspecting of him, at least judging from his actions, but Pei Yue took the initiative to take a step forward.

Although this step will not shake the stability of the imperial power, the first step will lead to the second step.

No one knew how Pei Yue's thoughts were racing through his mind in this short period of time. What they saw was still the calm young prince, and his image was getting taller and taller.

With Pei Yue personally coming forward to support Xiao Jin, the turmoil seemed to be about to subside, and the ministers who had been red-faced before suddenly fell into an extremely embarrassing situation.

Regardless of whether they were impeaching Pei Yue or Xiao Jin, they all felt a little regretful at this moment.

Officials at the middle and lower levels can do what they want, but today, two important ministers in purple clothes have joined in the chaos.

They are Shi Chongkuan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, and Zhang Dun, the Jiujiu of the Imperial Academy.

After Pei Yue thanked him, he walked back to where he was standing. On the way, he glanced at the two senior officials very calmly, with a hint of pity deep in his eyes.

At this moment, Dou Jingchu, the right order of Taishitai Pavilion, entered the palace. After getting Liu Xian's permission, he quickly walked into Chengtian Palace and said hurriedly in front of the entire palace: "Your Majesty, please tell me about Wei Wei."

Regarding the assassination of the Duke, a new discovery was made in Taishitai Pavilion!"

…

Nancheng, Jinshafang.

A figure ran extremely quickly across the house, still holding two knives in his hands, but if you look closer, you will find that these two knives are the standard weapons of Luan Yiwei.

Behind him were hundreds of Luan Yiwei masters chasing after him.

"Luan Yiwei is ordered to hunt down the assassin. The rest of the gang should retreat immediately!"

Nancheng is a place where good and bad people are mixed, and the situation in Jinshafang is even more complicated. It is unknown how many green-skinned scoundrels and even criminal thieves are harbored. These people may not be afraid of official officials from the Kyoto Prefecture, but they will never dare to provoke a ruthless yamen like Luan Yiwei.

Therefore, very few people dared to watch the pursuit. Most people hid in their homes and secretly lamented that the guy running for his life on the roof turned out to be the ruthless person who assassinated Duke Wei. No wonder it attracted so many masters of Luan Yiwei.

.

Among the chasing team at this moment, the commander of Luan Yiwei, Chen An, was prominently among them.

He looked at the skilled swordsman in front of him from afar, with a cold and solemn look on his face.

Eleven days ago, the assassination occurred on Gushui Street. Luan Yiwei began to search for the capital, but the assassin was never captured. Chen An could hardly raise his head in front of His Majesty the Emperor. Four days ago, the assassin was finally found, but he was killed again.

He escaped and disappeared among the vast pavilions of Kyoto, and finally only found the weapon he used near Xiangguo Mansion.

Luan Yiwei obtained part of the power from Taishitai Pavilion, which has caused dissatisfaction among the crows. If he cannot make some achievements, Chen An really doesn't know if he will have the face to continue to serve as the commander.

Therefore, he issued a death order to his subordinates, and he would find the assassin even if he stayed awake.

The hard work paid off. Several spies discovered clues in Nancheng more than an hour ago. Although the swordsman took away the sword and killed two people, they successfully sent the news out.

What followed was a brutal chase. Secret agents who received the signal came from all directions, and everyone moved forward regardless of their own safety. Even though the swordsman's martial arts skills were extremely high, no one in Luan Yiwei was timid from the beginning to the end.

Stopped, and the chasing team is still expanding.

More than twenty feet away, Xie Huaijing looked extremely indifferent. Even though there were more and more pursuers behind him, and the internal energy in his body was rapidly passing away, he still did not panic at all.

Travel between houses.

But the distance between the pursuers and him was getting closer and closer.

After a few breaths, he suddenly accelerated and turned eastward for hundreds of feet.

When the manpower is finally exhausted, not to mention that he is too exhausted at this moment. Even in his heyday, he is no match for hundreds of Luan Yiwei spies. However, Chen An knows the importance of this assassin. A corpse and a card can

The pried open mouth is completely different. If you want to prove Luan Yiwei's ability in front of His Majesty the Emperor, you must capture him alive.

Because of this order, Xie Huaijing did not die under the opponent's crossbow in the first place and found a way to break out of the encirclement.

His speed gradually slowed down, and his pursuers were already several feet away.

Chen An's voice came from behind: "Abandon your weapons and surrender, I will give you a happy death."

Xie Huaijing seemed unaware, and turned his gaze to a courtyard in the northeast. An extremely powerful force suddenly burst out, and he jumped several long distances in succession, and then landed in that courtyard like a big bird.

Luan Yiwei and others followed closely behind, not caring about the possible danger, and immediately surrounded the place. At the same time, more than ten people jumped directly into the courtyard.

An extremely weird scene that was incompatible with the tense and solemn atmosphere at the moment appeared in front of everyone.

There was also a group of people standing in the courtyard, and some people rushed out from the side room. They held various weapons in their hands as if facing the enemy, and directed their cold eyes at the uninvited guests, including Xie Huaijing.

The unlucky man at the head was Xian Yun.

Chen Anfei jumped up to the courtyard wall and stood still. He glanced at Xie Huaijing and then at the people in the courtyard. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I didn't expect there was an unexpected gain."

In the Yanzhi Incident a few months ago, Luan Yiwei and Taishitaige killed and captured nearly a hundred enemy spies on the spot, and subsequently captured more than a hundred people. However, even Chen An did not expect that those remaining spies were actually hiding.

Within this courtyard.

However, there was no surprise on his face. The situation in Nancheng was complicated and difficult to eliminate, and it had always been the best choice for criminals to hide.

Xian Yun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice without engaging in any meaningless verbal dispute: "Kill!"

What responded to him was Chen An's right arm raised high and then waved vigorously, and the expert Luan Yiwei who swooped down in an instant.

"kill!"
