Holding Wei Xiyue in her arms, Jiang walked out of the forest with one foot deep and one shallow foot, and came to the endless official road.

Her strength was exhausted, but she didn't dare to stop, she stumbled forward, and finally met the Qin family cavalry who came to look for her.

Deputy General Zhou hastily tightened the reins, got off his horse, came to Mrs. Jiang, and picked up the child in her arms who could barely hold her: "Mrs. Wei!"

Jiang's legs gave way and he almost fell.

Deputy General Zhou quickly helped her up: "Give it to me, Mrs. Wei."

Mrs. Jiang kept holding the child, her arms were already stiff, Deputy General Zhou slowly carried the child over, and said to her, "I'll send someone to take you back."

Jiang Shi gasped weakly: "Nan...the traitor is inside...you go and arrest them..."

Deputy General Zhou sent two cavalry to escort her back to Wei's house, and the rest of them entered the forest with him in the direction Jiang pointed out.

However, when they arrived at the scene of the crime, they only saw a few puddles of blood that were almost drying up, and the bodies of two hidden guards.

"Did you find anything?"

Qin Canglan's voice suddenly appeared behind him.

Deputy General Zhou turned around and saw Qin Canglan and Su Mo coming on horseback. He bowed his hands and saluted: "Marshal, Mr. Su."

Qin Canglan has resigned from the post of Generalissimo of the Army and Horses of the World, but the brothers in the military camp are still used to addressing him as Generalissimo.

He continued to answer: "As the marshal said, judging from the traces at the scene, there was a fierce fight here, and both sides were injured, but... everyone disappeared."

Qin Canglan and Su Mo dismounted and inspected the scene carefully.

Qin Canglan has fought against Gui Ji and Nanyang King before, and he knows that both of them fight desperately. Life and death are often instantaneous, and sometimes the outcome of a battle may not be determined by the realm of martial arts. Any small factor , may change the final result.

"Did they call in another place?" Su Mo asked.

Qin Canglan knelt down and dipped his fingertips in the blood on the ground: "Judging from the amount of bleeding, one of them was fatally wounded. I don't know if it's Ghost Horror or that guy. Look separately, and you shouldn't be far away."

Soon, Su Xiaoxiao, Wei Ting, and Wei Liulang also arrived.

The three of them looked at the blood on the ground, and also showed serious expressions.

"Who is the one who was seriously injured? Does that guy have the same means of saving his life as Mo Guiyuan?"

Su Xiaoxiao found a bottle on the ground. During these days, she studied the scriptures of the poison masters of the Western Jin Dynasty a lot, and recognized that it was the huagong powder of the dead.

Wei Liulang's expression changed: "Brother, he...was hit by Hua Gong San? Isn't that..."

That guy is already difficult to deal with, coupled with the effect of Hua Gong San, the big brother is in danger!

A cold light flashed in Wei Ting's deep eyes: "If you live, you must see people, if you die, you must see corpses."

They followed the bloodstains and found a big tree, where the bloodstains were gone.

They had to scatter in all directions and continue searching.

Qin Canglan dispatched cavalry, and Wei Ting also returned to the capital to dispatch the imperial guards. They found the mountain from the forest, searched for three days and three nights, but did not find any trace of the two of them.

On the fourth day, when they were preparing for the worst, Ghost Horror appeared in a frosty suit.

Wei Liulang hurriedly stood up from under the big tree, rushed over to support his shoulders, and looked up and down: "Brother?"

Wei Ting and Su Xiaoxiao also walked towards him.

He had a penetrating wound on his shoulder and a few not-so-serious cuts on his body. Su Xiaoxiao took him under the big tree and opened the first aid kit to treat his injuries.

Wei Ting followed: "Brother, your skills..."

Gui Bu said: "The inhaled Hua Gong San is not much, and if you lose a little power, you will come back after practicing."

Wei Liulang asked: "King of Nanyang..."

Gui Ji whispered: "Dead."

When everyone heard this, the big stone in their hearts fell to the ground.

I didn't think that guy died suddenly. After all, the Wei, Qin, and Su families had all mobilized and dragged Emperor Jingxuan. It would be unreasonable if he couldn't kill that guy.

The struggle between them and him started from the eradication of the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect was the most powerful knife in his hand. With the White Lotus Sect gone, his wings were cut off.

Then he lost Helian Ye, the great injustice, and his power was further weakened.

Of course, they couldn't take it lightly, after all, even if he failed to rebel, killing a few people was more than enough.

Fortunately, it is finally over.

Wei Liulang let out a long breath, and was about to ask the elder brother how you killed that big bastard, and where you have been for the past three days, when Gui Ji said, "Don't ask anything, and don't call me any more in the future." That person is the King of Nanyang, call him Xiao Jun."

"Xiao...jun, oh." Wei Liulang responded obediently.

The eldest brother is like a father, and the elder brother's words carry blood coercion.

Gui Bu took out a bundle from his pocket and handed it to several people.

Wei Liulang took it over, opened it, looked at the bright yellow cloth, and raised his eyebrows: "Is it the edict of the first emperor? Huh? No, it's blank."

The ghost said in horror: "The last emperor's last edict has been destroyed."

Xiao Jun still found the last emperor's edict before they did, otherwise he wouldn't have the guts to force the palace to rebel.

"The secret decree was also destroyed." Gui Ji said, "I destroyed it with my own hands."

Wei Liulang was surprised and said: "Ah...I am not surprised by the last edict and the secret edict...but what is the matter with this blank imperial edict?"

The handprint of the first emperor was pressed on it, and the seal of the first emperor was stamped on it.

"This is Xiao Jun's hole card."

They had all neglected an important point before, that is, there were two secret decrees to be canonized, first to establish him, and then to establish King Ruyang. It can be said that from the moment King Ruyang was established, his secret decree would not work.

Even if he succeeds in the rebellion, it is still a conspiracy to usurp the throne, and his name is not justified.

If there is this blank imperial decree, it will be different.

Su Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Since he has this, why didn't he take it out earlier?"

Gui Bu said: "Hidden by Nanyang King, Xiao Jun has been looking for it."

Several people were startled together, and they understood something in an instant.

On the way back, Su Xiaoxiao rode in a carriage, and the three brothers rode beside them.

Gui Bu said to Wei Ting: "Find a cemetery where you can see Min'er's tombstone."

Wei Ting: "Okay."

...

Wei Ting brought back the body of "Xiao Jun", and the matter was settled.

Emperor Jingxuan didn't want to hurt the empress dowager's heart, so he didn't announce that he was the king of Nanyang, and still maintained that someone pretended to be him to rebel.

Regarding the truth about Nanyang King and Xiao Jun, Wei Ting did not intend to tell him, he did not really surrender to Emperor Jingxuan, but he just used Emperor Jingxuan's hand to deal with Xiao Jun.

This accident can be regarded as the biggest crisis in the 18 years since Emperor Jingxuan came to the throne, and he almost died.

After he was able to get out of bed, he immediately proceeded to reward the meritorious officials.

The first credit is Su Cheng.

He was successful in escorting and turned the tide, niping the rebellion of the imperial guards in the bud and reducing a large number of casualties.

He is already the Duke of the Protectorate, and there is nothing to add to his title. Emperor Jingxuan promoted him to be the orthodox commander of the imperial guards, and also the deputy commander of the Imperial City Division.
