Late at night, Luoyang Taichu Palace.

A team of Qianniu Guards lined up in a series of torches, took compact steps, and walked freely through the Xuanwu Gate in the north and entered the forbidden area of ​​the imperial city.

The soldiers guarding the city who were responsible for inspecting the token were really surprised by the sudden visit of this mysterious Qianniu Guard. Because everyone knows that the palace inner courtyard and the harem of the imperial palace were the number one forbidden area. Even in broad daylight, even the royal relatives and the prime ministers of the palace did not dare to enter easily without the emperor's special order. In the middle of the night, the large group of Qianniu Guards rushed straight to Qianqi camp nervously and mysteriously. What was the matter?

No one dares to ask.

Qianniu Guard drove straight in and stopped directly in front of the barracks of Qianqi envoy Zhao Yijie.

Zhao Yijie had just returned to the barracks and was about to take off his military uniform and go to bed to rest. Seeing this, he took up the sword that had just been hung on the wall and hung it around his waist.

"General, it seems that the visitor is not good!" the attendant whispered, "Are you calling me brothers..."

"No need." Zhao Yijie frowned lightly and whispered in a deep voice, "It is no longer possible for you brothers to deal with it if they can walk over the post and walk over the whistle at night."

The attendant was speechless.

"Go, invite them in!" Zhao Yijie sat down with a big horse-drawn sword, "Don't make people think that we, Qianqi, don't understand the way of hospitality."

After a moment, only one person came into the room.

Zhao Yijie looked at the man in front of him. He was tall and covered with a long-distance cloak that was protected from rain and sheltered from the wind. It was covered very tightly from head to toe. Under the oil lamp, Zhao Yijie felt that the person's figure seemed to look familiar.

"General Zhao, are you okay?" The visitor spoke, and then he uncovered the hood of the cloak himself.

Zhao Yijie was instantly wrong and couldn't help but stand up, "Wang Xiaojie?!... General Wang, how could it be you?"

Wang Xiaojie smiled playfully and sarcastically, "Would you sit down if you don't invite Wang?"

"I'm so rude!" Zhao Yijie quickly came to his senses and ordered someone to take a seat, serve tea, and greet Wang Xiaojie.

The two of them sat down and were silent for a while, as if they were thinking about the past.

Once upon a time, Zhao Yijie was just a prisoner who was swept out of the Imperial Guard by Xue Shao and exiled to the Western Regions and was exiled to the Western Regions and was charged with a prisoner. After several twists and turns, he joined the Anxi Tiger Division and changed from a prisoner who was guilty and became a subordinate military camp that ate imperial grain. It can be said that he turned over.

At that time, Wang Xiaojie was already Wang Fangyi's right-hand man and could be called the second largest figure in Anxi Tiger Division.

Later, Wang Xiaojie replaced Wang Fangyi and officially became the commander of the Anxi Tiger Division. Later, Wang Xiaojie led the Anxi Tiger Division and joined Xue Shao in Helong's lost territory. It was that battle that made Zhao Yijie truly rejuvenate the second spring of his life. After returning to the capital, the court rewarded him according to his merits. He went from being a small eighth-rank cavalry team to become a fifth-rank officer of the Imperial Guard. Even today's third-rank thousand cavalry envoy, they all had the same rank as Wang Xiaojie and Xue Shao. Even because he was in charge of the most deadly thousand cavalry in front of the emperor, Zhao Yijie was almost overwhelmed by the generals of the Sixteen Guards.

So, now the atmosphere of the two sitting in pairs is really weird. They seem to be trying hard to guess - what are he thinking?

After a while, Wang Xiaojie was the first to start talking.

"I guess General Zhao must be guessing in his heart why Wang visited late at night?"

Zhao Yijie's expression remained unchanged, "General Wang, I don't have to beat around the bush."

"Just taste!" Wang Xiaojie slapped his thigh and laughed, "Then I'll just say it."

"Please say it clearly."

"Wang is about to take charge of the battle, but he is suffering from a lack of a good assistant." Wang Xiaojie said, "Just just now, Wang was ordered to enter the palace to meet His Majesty. His Majesty also asked in person, saying, "Who is the dear to the battle, who is the deputy?" But Wang thought of General Zhao at the first time, you - how about it, think about it?"

Zhao Yijie frowned and said, "Where will the expedition be? When will the expedition go?"

Wang Xiaojie smiled strangely, "Why, General Zhao still needs to ask clearly and clearly in detail before he can give an answer?"

Zhao Yijie took a deep breath and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He knew very well that the situation in front of him was actually very clear. Wang Xiaojie was polite on the surface and was sending an invitation. In fact, whether he agreed or not, it was already a foregone conclusion to go with him. Just one thing can be drawn from this conclusion - Wang Xiaojie, a foreign official and border general, was able to enter the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial City in the middle of the night, which was enough to prove that he had already obtained a serious life from the emperor.

Moreover, this vital life seemed to exude a murderous aura.

But Zhao Yijie still asked calmly, "If I refuse, what should I do?"

"That's okay." Wang Xiaojie was very calm, "Wang is here to be an invitation, and he has no other intentions."

"Shief Cao Ren, Su Honghui, Zhang Xuanyu, Ashina's loyalty... are all more capable than me, Zhao." Zhao Yijie said a lot of names in one breath, all of whom were old generals of Anxi Tiger Division, and his iron-clad confidant Wang Xiaojie.

Wang Xiaojie laughed, "Wang is really the only way to say that, please be smart?"

After saying that, the two of them looked at each other in a concentration.

Between the eyes, there seemed to be lightning and thunder roaring violently.

The confidant servant behind Zhao Yijie couldn't help but hold the handle of the knife around his waist.

Wang Xiaojie turned his head and looked at the servant, laughing.

"I promise you." Zhao Yijie spitted out these four words and let out a heavy breath, "Rong goes home and settles down."

Wang Xiaojie stood up, his face full of smiles of "a person who knows the times is a hero", and he said lightly: "At the beginning of the Mao period, see Sima Ban on Bai."

Bai Sima Ban is a place name. It has an official station outside Luoyang City. It is already midnight, but Wang Xiaojie meets at dawn. This is very clear - time is tight, so don’t waste your time, let alone go home!

Zhao Yijie was very angry and gritted his teeth, "Zhao, just follow the order."

Wang Xiaojie took out a long-prepared copy of the imperial edict from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Yijie, "Goodbye!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Zhao Yijie narrowed his eyes and watched Wang Xiaojie leave with murderous aura. He slowly unfolded the scroll of the order, stared at him in shock and said two words, "Hebei?!"

The night is deep, in the dense forest.

Almost at the same time Zhao Yijie let out that amazement, Xue Ying, who had just been rescued, sighed to the sky, "It's over, it's all!"

Feng Chenggang, who had not even breathed evenly around him, was shocked when he heard this and asked, "Why did you say this?"

Xue Yi sighed again, "Didn't the hero realize that today's rescue was too smooth?"

"What?!" The Eighteen Eight Ears of the Hongmen were shocked at the same time.

"Don't be alarmed!" Feng Chenggang shouted deeply and said again: "What Junhou means is this a tempting trap?"

Xue Yi's face was ashamed, "Yes, I am indeed in trouble, but I was framed by others in the end. Although I was embarrassed for a while, I was not afraid of shadows, and I might have the opportunity to be injustice. Now that you are here to save me, I am accused of killing the official and escaping from prison and fleeing for fear of crime. Aren't the charges that were framed before, I can't even clear the crimes even if I jumped into the Yellow River?"

Feng Chenggang was shocked when he heard this and immediately said, "Don't worry, lord, lord, lord. The Lord will make such arrangements, and there must be his reason."

Xue Ying blinked, "Is the Lord the hero called refers to..."

"Judge will know sooner or later that this place is not safe, please leave!"

"No, I can't leave!" Xue Ying suddenly shouted, "If I leave, I will escape for fear of guilt! It will harm Erlang, princess, and the entire Xue clan!!"

Feng Chenggang gritted his teeth, "June, I offended you!"

With a palm, Xue Ying fainted.

The group of people shuttled through the dense forest like ghosts and quickly disappeared without a trace.

Late the next night, in Princess Taiping's Mansion.

After listening to Feng Chenggang's report, Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er let out a sigh at the same time, and also tense their hearts.

At this moment, the worst outcome that Xue Yi could imagine was nothing more than implicating Xue Shao, Princess Taiping and the Xue clan. His concerns were not unreasonable, and Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er were not unexpected.

However, weighing the pros and cons, Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er still agreed that even if they were charged with "killing officials and escaping from prison and fleeing for fear of crime", as long as Xue Yan can still survive, everything will be saved. On the contrary, if Xue Yan has a few shortcomings, Xue Shao and the Queen will definitely break up completely. Then, not only Xue Yan will still be unable to protect their lives, but the entire Taiping Princess Mansion, the entire Xue clan of Hedong, and even the whole world will suffer!

Xue Shao today is no longer the Xue Shao who was exiled to Fangzhou with his father and brother. In comparison, Xue Yan's understanding of Xue Shao is far inferior to Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er. At least in Xue Yan's opinion, no matter how excessive Erlang of his family is, he will never do anything extraordinary "inflict the superiors and cause trouble". However, Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er are very clear in their hearts that there is always an invisible scale in Xue Shao's heart. Whenever someone dares to touch it, Xue Shao can do anything, even if the whole world is buried with it.

There is a piece of reverse scale in it, and the name "Xue Yi" is written on it.

As the sky was dawn, a quick envoy from the palace came to Princess Taiping's mansion and announced that Princess Taiping would come to the palace to meet the saint.

This was almost expected. Princess Taiping had never imagined that this could be hidden from her mother, who was very good at hand and had extremely serious doubts.

Before boarding the bus, Princess Taiping held Shangguan Wan'er's hand and whispered, "Start immediately, maybe all the matters of big and small may be left to you."

Shangguan Wan'er looked solemn and nodded gently.

Princess Taiping boarded the car and entered the palace, and Wu Zetian sat upright in the main hall, waiting for her.

When we met, there was no other idleness. The mother and daughter almost saved the rituals of the king and his ministers.

Wu Zetian was straightforward and blasted, "Taiping, you did a good thing!"

Princess Taiping stood with her eyebrows and head down with her head, without admonition or resistance.

"You didn't say a word?" Wu Zetian was furious, "Can you just wait for death?"

Princess Taiping took a deep breath and looked up at her mother, "If he had any faults, he would have violated Xue Lang's taboo. There must be villains instigating him, and mother must not fall into the trap!"
