Thinking

Jiang Xunyan looked at Qi Si and nodded after a while: "These are just the things of the previous generation. They are unforgettable and hard to erase for a while."

Qi Si asked him: "Pei Nanxian and Xiao Zhi, they are actually afraid of the royal family of Jin, right?"

Jiang Xunyan sighed: "I'm afraid it is. Take the Xiao family as an example. When they rebelled against Jin and were hunted down all the way, the Xiao family's shadow guard suffered heavy losses, and the Xiao family almost died..."

Qi Si had mixed feelings in his heart, the Xiao family had a deep enmity with the Yu family of the Jin Kingdom, that day Xiao Zhi was hesitating on Bafang Terrace to save himself, probably because of this.

The same is true of the Li family and the Pei family, so starting from Yan and Jin Yihe, they colluded with Great Liang and assassinated Yu Ke.

The Yongping Rebellion seemed to be two generations ago, but it still affected them.

The hesitation of Xiao Zhi and the Pei family's attitude towards him, and the vague hostility of Li Cen and the Pei family towards him, now also found the answer.

Thinking of Xiao Zhi, he felt particularly uncomfortable. Although he was not from the royal family of the Jin Kingdom at all, when Xiao Zhi faced himself, he also faced the blood feud behind them. He always refused to explain, because the explanation itself was too weak of.

Xiao Zhi now chooses to stand on his side, but there are many things that cannot be reversed.

When he was in prison, Kong Yu couldn't see Li Xuanrong, and neither Qi Si nor Jiang Xunyan could reveal their identities, so Qi Si begged Emperor Su not to let anything happen to Li Xuanrong in prison in the cold winter.

The current news is that Li Cen has been implicated in several major ink corruption cases, but nothing related to Great Liang has been mentioned, and the Pei family has not taken any action for the time being.

The day after Pei Xun disappeared, something happened to the Li family, and Pei Xin also returned to Changyu.On the third day, the Pei family finally realized that something was wrong, and Pei Xin and Pei Nanxian made an appointment to go to Pei's residence.

"On that day, Grandfather was the only one in the mansion. When I left, I took him to Yongxi Tea House on the way, but I didn't know about it after that." Qi Si said.

Pei Nanxian and Pei Xin looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment, Qi Si guessed: "Maybe he met a friend and left Changyu impromptu for a few days."

Pei Xin shook his head: "He will definitely inform the mansion."

Seeing Pei Xin's sharp and hesitant eyes, Qi Si frowned, and asked very calmly, "Grandpa, don't you doubt me?"

On the contrary, Pei Xin lost his doubts and immediately waved his hands: "Why, it's just that things have happened frequently recently, so it's inevitable to worry."

Pei Nanxian asked tentatively: "I heard from people in the mansion that His Highness went to the ancestral hall with him that day?"

Qi Si nodded: "It happened to be there, and Grandpa took me in."

"Did you say anything?" Pei Nanxian looked at Qi Si.

Qi Si struggled to recall it, and said, "It's nothing, but he seems to be a little preoccupied."

Pei Nanxian and Pei Xin were silent for a while, and Qi Si asked, "What's wrong? Could something really happen?"

The two of them only said it was okay, and Qisi looked at a loss.

After Qi Si left, Pei Xin frowned: "Pei Xun really has a different heart?"

Pei Nanxian looked gloomy: "It was that book that was taken away, and the palm print left behind is also his."

"Where is the person? No trace at all?" Pei Xin asked.

Pei Nanxian said: "When he entered Yongxi Tea House, he disappeared. There was a person waiting for him, and he disappeared without a trace."

Pei Dao said: "There is something wrong in Changyu City. You have people staring at Pei Ruan'er. He has paved the way for his daughter all these years. If it is true this time, it is also for her."

Thinking of entering the palace the next day, Emperor Su put down his pen and looked at him: "When do you plan to do it?"

Thinking about a salute: "Tomorrow night."

Emperor Su asked, "How many people do you need?"

"Two hundred rough cavalry guards, plus Xiao Zhi's men." Qi Si said.

Jiang Xunyan thought for a while: "People from Pei's family have been transferred back to Changyu recently, are these enough?"

Qi Si nodded: "Street battles in the city should not be arranged with too many people, otherwise it will definitely attract vigilance."

King Rong was very nervous when he heard it, and rubbed his hands aside: "...be careful."

Qi Si smiled and said, "Yes."

Xiaohan and Changyu had a heavy snowfall, Qisi wore a dark military uniform, took the Poli sword, and left the city with Jiang Xuan.

Six miles outside the south city gate, Qisi and Jiang Xuan lay dormant quietly. In order not to startle the snakes, Qisi did not ask Emperor Su to borrow someone from the Luqi camp.

The sound of horseshoes on the narrow road broke the tranquility of the snowy night. Qisi gestured together, and the two jumped down from the treetops at the same time. Yan Zhijian and Polijian drew out their sheaths, and instantly stopped them by surprise to control Pei Ruan'er Pei's shadow guard.

There are 20 people in this team, and the shadow guards are very skilled. There was a chaos at first, and then they formed an formation. Qi Si and Jiang Xuan raised the snow with their long swords. The momentum that came out killed three people in a row.

Qi Si's figure was light, his Poli sword reflected the cold light, his swordsmanship was exactly the same as Chong Yi's, the falling snow was like flowers, the formation of the shadow guards couldn't trap him, and the two of them killed nearly half of them in an instant.

Qi Si raised his hand and spun, and the Poli sword pierced one person's shoulder, stopping him from releasing the signal. The two quickly ended the battle and took the body to the roadside hiding place. The heavy snow quickly covered everything.

The two cooperated tacitly, got on their horses and returned to the city, the streets in Changyu City were empty.

After the Lizhou major case was concluded, Pei's Shenyingwei returned to Changyu. Outside the Shenyingwei's mansion, half of Xiao Zhi's men and the rough riding camp had been properly arranged.

Qisi and Jiang Xuan rushed to Pei's mansion, two streets away, Xiao Zhi personally led someone, and was already waiting here, Qisi and him glanced at each other hurriedly, neither of them said anything, Qisi changed his military uniform and put it on Wearing a brocade robe, he ran to the door of Pei's mansion with his sword alone.

The butler opened the door in response, saw Qi Si flustered, and hurriedly welcomed him in.

"Where are grandpa and uncle?" Qi Si asked while grabbing his collar.

The housekeeper took him to the inner hall, and Qi Si ran towards Pei Xin and Pei Nanxian: "Uncle! Xiao Zhi him..."

There was a chaotic fight outside the house.

Pei Xin and Pei Nanxian were caught off guard, they didn't know what was going on, so they had to think about going out to see the situation.

As soon as he came out of the house, Xiao Zhi was wearing a splendid martial arts robe, which was exactly the clothes of the shadow guards. The Shenshui sword in his hand stabbed directly at Qi Si, and the shadow guards of the Xiao family also flew behind him.

Qi Si raised his sword to the next level, and Pei Nanxian released the long golden snake-like chain in his hand, and stepped forward to deal with Xiao Zhi.

Pei Xin was holding a knife in his hand, and although his hair was gray, he still moved fiercely. Many guards suddenly appeared in the mansion, far more prepared than on the night of the birthday banquet. Qi Si guessed right, something happened to Li Cen and Pei Xun, Pei Xun The government's vigilance should be strengthened several times.

Jiang Xuan and Xiao's shadow guards went straight to the ancestral hall, where the secrets of the Pei family were hidden, and they were always closely guarded, and they fought hard.

After Qi Si lured Pei Xin and Pei Xun out, he ran out of the yard in a panic, arrived at the ancestral hall, rushed in, stabbed the guard who wanted to destroy the mechanism with his sword, and guarded the mechanism firmly by himself to prevent the Pei family from attacking. People destroy evidence.

More guards rushed in from the ancestral hall, Jiang Xuan and the outsiders couldn't come in for support for a while, Qisi was alone in the ancestral hall, the Poli sword was covered with blood, and his body was also full of blood, his shadow was like a frightened bird, bursting into a powerful The power of the sword, no one can get close to the sword light.

The internal force burst out along the edge of the Poli sword. This sword that Rui Chu had when he was young is now reappearing in his hand.

Layers of corpses were laid out on the ground of the ancestral hall. Qi Si's fair and handsome cheek was stained with blood, and his clean eyes were covered with murderous aura, like a Shura.

Jiang Xuan led people to break through the siege and come in, and reconciled with Qi Si, and the ancestral hall was basically under control.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a sharp whistle and a burst of red light outside the courtyard, and it was Xiao Zhi's people who sent the signal.

Chi Si trembled in his heart, and said to Jiang Xuan: "Hold here!" He jumped away, waved his sword to fend off the guards who wanted to stop him, and rushed back to the courtyard of the inner hall.

The courtyard was quiet, and Xiao Zhi's shadow guards and the Pei family's guards were in a confrontation, with a clear distinction between them.

In the middle of the yard, Xiao held the Shenshui sword in his hand against Pei Xin's throat, and Pei Nanxian stood there, neither willing to let him go, nor dared to act rashly.

There were many guards behind Pei Nanxian, half of them were Pei family's shadow guards, and they were holding black crossbows, pointing arrows at Xiao to hold them, and whoever made a move at this moment would lose control of the scene.

Pei Xin was very passive. Xiao Zhi must have used some method to make him unable to resist. At this moment, Xiao Zhi's sword was pressed against the veins on his neck, and he could not move.

Qi Si paused for a moment, then shouted: "Grandpa!" Then he rushed up.

Xiao Zhi moved his wrist, Shen Shuijian flashed a cold light, Qi Si immediately stopped, stood beside Pei Nanxian, pointed at Xiao Zhi and said angrily: "Xiao Zhi!"

Pei Nanxian glanced at Qi Si quickly, and said, "What's going on!"

Qi Si looked back at Pei Nanxian, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind in an instant. The Pei family's vigilance was too high. If they fought hard, although they could win, Xiao Zhi's men would definitely suffer heavy losses, and both sides would suffer.

He shouted at Xiao Zhi: "This is Pei's residence!"

Pei Xin said angrily, "Xiao Zhi, whose order are you following?"

Xiao Zhi understood what Qi Si meant, so he said flatly: "Shen Yingwei naturally only obeys Wang Ling's orders." Then he looked at Qi Si, "You come with me, otherwise they will all die."

His eyes were calm and focused, looking into Qi Si's eyes.

"Let them withdraw, I only want him." Xiao Zhi said to Pei Nanxian, "You want to disobey the king's order?"

Qi Si turned to look at Pei Nanxian with a flustered expression.

Pei Nanxian's expression was cold. After thinking for a moment, he made a gesture, and the people behind him put down their crossbows and retreated.

"Uncle!" Qi Si looked in disbelief.

Pei Nanxian said coldly, "I'm sorry, Your Highness."

Pei Nanxian's people backed out, and he looked at Xiao Zhi: "What else!"

The people under Xiao Zhi made a gesture to detain Qisi, but when they were about to get close to Qisi and Pei Nanxian, a firework suddenly shot up in the distance in the city. It was the signal smoke of Pei's shadow guard!

Pei Nanxian instantly realized something was wrong, and his eyes sank.Thinking about it is not good.

Xiao Zhi frowned slightly, pushed Pei Xin to his subordinates, and immediately rushed forward, Qi Si also reacted immediately, raised his sword and turned around to defend, but Pei Nanxian moved too fast, his position was very unfavorable, only a moment later, But he couldn't dodge the second move, the long chain blade in Pei Nanxian's hand had already been stabbed out.

Xiao Zhi rushed over in an instant, raised his arm to block Qi Si abruptly, and pushed Qi Si out.
