The straight knife of Scar Hanzuo's neck was barely smashed down, and he saw Xu Wubing's right kneecap be about to be broken into pieces, and he became a useless person from then on. Suddenly, with a "swoosh", a crow feather arrow flew over quickly and shot on Scar Han's straight knife.

Although the arrow branches of the crow feathers were short, the archer's archery force was quite powerful. The arrows were so powerful that the scar man could not control it. He was hit by the arrow branches and flew out.

The Qingyi Guard looked in the sound and saw a fast horse running towards the wind. In just a moment, the rider had already rushed to the front. He saw his thick eyebrows, big eyes, curly beard, and a golden armor shining in the sun, which made everyone almost unable to open their eyes. He held the reins in his left hand and the bow in his right hand, and a thick beard shaking with the wind...

At this moment, he pulled the reins with his left hand, and the yellow horse under his crotch was shaking his long neighing. In the public eye, he looked even more majestic and unparalleled. This man was Xue Tao, the general of the Right Yulin Guard who was in the fourth rank.

Seeing that Xue Tao had shot him with an arrow. Although he had not hurt anyone, he felt unhappy. However, seeing that the other party's official rank was far higher than his, he had to bow and bow and say, "General Xue, my Qingyi Guard is here to arrest two rebels. Are you?"

Xue Tao shouted immediately, "Don't talk nonsense! These two people are guests from the King of Wei's Mansion. Today, I came here to pick them up after the order of the King of Wei, but for some reason, your subordinates will take their lives by wielding their swords?!"

Captain Yang was suspicious and angry, and turned to ask the Scar Zuo Leader, "Zhang Keda, what's going on? Why did those two become the disciples of the Wei Palace again?!"

Zhang Keda, who had a scar on his face, hurriedly replied: "Those two... where did those two come from? I really don't know, but they beat us up and injured us in the Deyue Tower and wantonly obstructing our company from handling the case! The other brothers can prove it!"

Yang's face was gloomy and calm, and his voice was neither humble nor arrogant, "General Xue, you are the general of the imperial guards, who are in charge of the defense of this imperial city. Our Qingyiwei is a task for the emperor and specifically arrested the important criminals in the capital. Today, in the Deyue Tower, these two... two thieves openly injured my Qingyiwei's subordinates, privately released the important criminals, and obstructed the Qingyiwei's case handlers according to my Daqian law and order, and were guilty of accomplice of the Qingyiwei's case! Therefore, these two... the officials must take back the Qingyiwei's guards for detailed interrogation today. If they are indeed the King of Wei, I, the Qingyiwei, will not make things difficult for them. After the case is found out, they will release them. If General Xue does not believe it, you can go with the Xiaguan..."

Xue Tao snorted coldly: "I am busy with military affairs, how can I have time to pay attention to you? Pei Qianhu of Nan'anping Office must be polite when he sees me. You are a sixth-rank captain, and you dare to be so rude when you see me! I have already made it clear that I will come here to pick them up to the house under the order of the King of Wei..."

Captain Yang wanted to wait for another defense, but saw Xue Tao lifting the carved bow in his hand into the air. He made a gesture and more than a hundred imperial guards ran in one after another, and in an instant, the alley was surrounded.

The Imperial Guard is the elite of the Daqian army. These more than a hundred soldiers are brave and good at fighting among the Right Yu Lin Guard. They are dissatisfied with the Qingyi Guards who are accomplices of tigers on weekdays. Today, they have received the order of the commander, and they are even more in line and showing their military appearance. They hold long spears, each of them is like wolves and tigers, and they look at the Qingyi Guards. Most of the Qingyi Guards are powerful people outside and are hard to help but feel timid when they see such a formation. Several of them can't control the straight sword in their hands, and they are so scared that they fall into the dust.

Master Yang knew that the situation today was irreversible, so he had to wave his hand and order people to let Xu and Zhu go. He turned around and left in disappointment...

After Xu Wubing waited to release the iron chain, he stepped forward and bowed and said, "General Xue, they were in the Deyue Tower just now..." Xue Tao quickly stopped talking and said, "Don't say too much, follow me!"

Seeing that Zhu Wuneng was injured, Xue Tao ordered two personal soldiers to lead a ox cart, put Zhu Wuneng in the cart, and helped him slowly. Zhu Wuneng was injured in the knife. Although the bleeding gradually stopped, he kept calling along the way, which seemed to be very painful. Xu Wubing was only inexplicably heartache, but there was no other way except to comfort him.

On the way, Xue Tao said to Xu Wubing: "I know what you want to say

So, the Qingyiwei is not good at doing anything wrong, but as the emperor's personal army, they hold privileges, and no one dares to provoke him! Otherwise, look at that little sixth-rank captain, how dare he be so arrogant in front of me!"

Xu Wubing said: "As a general of the Imperial Army, General Xue is responsible for defending the capital and a close minister around the emperor. Can't he make any suggestions to the emperor and restrain him?"

Xue Tao looked at Xu Wubing, as if he sighed that his mind was too naive and said, "Don't you know a saying circulating in the world? It is called 'Eight Guards of the Imperial Guards are not as good as the Qingyi Guards!' In the eyes of the emperor, there is no one to replace the position of the Qingyi Guards!"

...

It turned out that Xue Tao, under the order of King Li Zhen of Wei, came to Xu Wubing to come to the mansion to reply. But he found a blank in Yunqi Inn. After asking the shopkeeper where the two were going, he came to Deyuelou. Halfway through, Xue Tao saw the Qingyiwei team walking noisy, and knew that there must be something different, so he followed along the way, but he didn't expect that he could barely save Xu and Zhu in the alley.

Xue Tao took Xu and Zhu into the residence of King Wei. At the gate of the Wei Palace, Xue Tao met Ma Huacheng and ordered the servants of the royal palace to take good care of Zhu Wuneng, and he led Xu Wubing through the courtyard and came to a pavilion in the back garden of the royal palace. The pavilion was called "Yifeng Pavilion". It was built on a rockery, facing a small lake below. Lotus lotus planted in the lake, and many camphor trees and willow trees were planted next to it. In midsummer, grass and green onions

Lush, the lotus flowers in the lake bloom one after another, with red and green intersecting, and the scenery is fascinating. Now it is late autumn, and there are only a few withered lotus left in the lake. However, standing in the pavilion, facing the breeze, looking down at the water, and drinking wine is also awesome. On weekdays, the King of Wei, Li Zhen, was most happy to climb up to this pavilion to watch books and enjoy the scenery. Today, he ordered people to prepare some dried fruit and refreshments in the pavilion, and sat in the east head, holding a volume of ancient books in his hand, and was fascinated by himself...

Xue Tao and Xu Wubing went to the pavilion and wanted to salute. Li Zhen raised his hand and said, "There are no outsiders here today, so you can avoid these etiquettes, sit down!"

Xue Tao picked up a skull in the west and sat down. Xu Wubing also followed Xue Tao to sit aside. Li Zhen put down the book and looked at Xu Wubing. He couldn't help but show some praise in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Your name is Xu Wubing?"

"It's the grass-roots!" Xu Wubing replied.

"Well... If you have no illness or disaster in your life, my wish will be enough!" Li Zhen sighed unconsciously and said again: "I heard that you have encountered some obstacles in the alley of Muma City next to the East City?"

Xue Tao hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, the last general is ordered by Your Highness to take Mr. Xu back to the palace for a question. Unexpectedly, the Blue-Yiwei Nan'anping Office, accused Mr. Xu of the plot to rebel, and dared to stop the last general. Therefore, it was delayed some time along the way..."

Li Zhen said "Hmph!" and said to Xu Wubing: "Don't be afraid! In the future, you only need to report my name. No matter where you are in the world, no one dares to make things difficult for you in the country where I work hard!"

When Xue Tao heard this, he was overjoyed and knew that this was the words that King Wei had been enlisted. King Wei was the fourth son of the emperor and was granted the title of Prince Qizhu. He had a very noble status and was able to be attached to the King of Wei. It was something that many people dreamed of. Xue Tao had followed King Wei for many years, and the King of Wei had never been so close to him. He did not expect that he could value him so much when he met Xu Wubing today. So Xue Tao quickly signaled Xu Wubing with his eyes and asked him to thank him quickly. Unexpectedly, the sleeves of Xu Wubing's robe did not move, but just said lightly:

"The grass people thanked the King of Wei!"

Seeing that Xu Wubing's face was normal, Li Zhen was unmoved, and was a little surprised, and then he slowly said:

"My father has issued an order today to relieve Mr. Qiu of his great disrespect and allow him to go home to recuperate and return to the court when he recovers from his illness. Speaking of which, if you hadn't woken up in time and delayed a few more days, Mr. Qiu would have been in danger. I went to visit Mr. Qiu today. Although he was seriously injured, he would not have had any serious consequences for his life. My father has ordered the imperial physician to treat him. This time, Mr. Qiu finally escaped, which can be considered auspicious human and heavenly appearance..."

Xu Wubing leaned over and bowed and said, "The King of Wei is very righteous, saves Mr. Qiu from water and fire, and the grass people are grateful for it!"

Li Zhen nodded, and this sentence finally made him feel comfortable to hear. After a pause, Li Zhen said again:

"Mr. Qiu also mentioned you to me

, said you have a pure character and a firm mind... This is the first time I have heard this from Mr. Qiu!” After that, Li Zhen looked at Xu Wubing again, and then said:

"I have already agreed to Mr. Qiu today and want to recommend you to the court as an official. What I mean... You should go to the Qingyiwei to do an errand. Tomorrow, I will go to the Ministry of Personnel to ask for a document of prosecutors, and ask you to go to the Bei'anping Office of the Qingyiwei to be a...Prevent the flag. Although it is only a seventh rank, many poor students can't even dream of waiting for the Jinshi Shi to be a Jinshi!" After saying that, Li Zhen showed a smile on his face. Perhaps this prince was used to appearing indifferent and majestic appearance, and the smile on his face was still a little stiff. He only said that as soon as he said this, no matter who the other party was, he must be grateful.

Xue Tao, who was beside him, hurriedly said to Xu Wubing happily: "Wubian, congratulations! In the future, you will be a subordinate of the King of Wei. Not to mention the Qingyiwei, even the entire Chang'an City, you can travel at will, no one can stop you!"

No one expected that Xu Wubing suddenly stood up, leaned over and bowed and said:

"Thank you for your kindness to King Wei! It's just that the grass-roots are just a village man. He is talented and knowledgeable. In addition, he is lazy and crazy, so he really can't bear the great responsibility!"

Li Zhen was stunned for a while, and after a while, he realized that his kindness was rejected at this moment. The only one who rejected him was a flat-headed young man with no fame. Li Zhen lived in a state of luxury for more than 40 years. Except for his father and the crown prince, who had ever been so disobedient to him?! At this time, Li Zhen's face was covered with a layer of frost. Xue Tao, who was sitting in the west, felt a trembling heart, as if the world outside the pavilion had suddenly transitioned from late autumn to cold winter. The coldness came overwhelmed, scaring the general who was well-known in the army, and was also silent at this moment.

"You don't have to be too humble. I am not discussing this with you! If you think the official position is small, you will have your own chance in the future..." Li Zhen was silent for a while, and finally opened his mouth again. This time his words were equivalent to telling Xu Wubing clearly that it won't take long to get your official position and level up...

"I have reported to Your Highness, the King of Wei, who reads poetry and books less often, admires Mr. Wuliu's noble righteousness. His long-cherished wish in his life was to farm in the forest, accompany the plants and trees, enjoy the mountains and fields, and enjoy themselves. As for standing solemnly on the temple, driving away day and night, it is not the wish of Wuliu..." Xu Wubing bowed his hand and answered with a calm expression.

"Then you go 'live it'!" Li Zhen took a sip of tea, threw the teacup casually, and used a little force. The teacup fell from the edge of the stone table. With a "bang", the celadon partridge-patterned golden cup produced in the official kiln of Junzhou fell to pieces.

Ma Huacheng, the general manager of the Wei Prince's Mansion standing at the foot of the rockery, ran up in panic when he saw this, signaled Xue Tao with his eyes and quickly took the person away.

Seeing this, Xue Tao knew that it was impossible to save it, so he stood up and bowed, took Xu Wubing and left. When Wubing left the pavilion, he still bowed to Li Zhen and said:

"The grass-roots retreat!"

Li Zhen held the book and watched it intently. When Xue Tao and Xu Wubing got up and retreated, he didn't even move his eyelids, as if these two people had never been there.

...

Xue Tao sighed and did not talk to Xu Wubing, and silently took him out of the mansion. Several servants from the royal palace also received the orders of Ma Huacheng, and put the injured Zhu Wuneng back to the ox cart and pulled him to the door. Xue Tao had already advised Ma Huacheng to treat him for treatment, but now he had no choice but to take Xu and Zhu away from the royal palace and send him back to Yunqi Inn.

Li Zhen returned to the study, and his anger was still not gone. He kept paced back and forth, whispering to himself. No one knew what he was saying to him, as if: "Mr. Qiu...Mr. Qiu... You are simply inexplicable!". Finally, he untied the close-fitting jade pendant on his waist, looked at it briefly, and suddenly threw it out... Ma Huacheng outside the door hurriedly crawled in, picked up the jade pendant, wiped it with his robe sleeve, and muttered: "Master! This is the jade pendant that the emperor admires, a unique thing in the world... Fortunately! It fell on the blanket and was not broken..."

Li Zhenwu said angrily: "No matter how good things are, what's the point of being so disobedient!"
