"I have a favor for you. Take this letter to the capital and give it to..."
Tie Xuan waved his hand and put the letter into Tie Li's hand, but suddenly he couldn't think of whom to give it to. He likes to be quiet by nature, and he is not keen on clinging to others. There are few people with whom he can be friends.
Tieli took the letter, looked up at the master who was in a daze, and said in confusion: "Master, who should I give the letter to?"
It was best to give this letter to Duke Zhen, but Duke Zhen killed Qi Tai at the Ministry of War, which made Tie Xuan a little dissatisfied, so he hesitated.
After a moment of silence, Tie Xuan said: "Give it to Mr. Jin of the Ming Dynasty Royal Academy."
No one knows that Tie Hyun once had a relationship with Mr. Jin, and the two had a very happy conversation. It's just that both of them are quiet by nature, so even though they were in the capital at the same time, they never met once.
"Yes, sir." Tieli nodded with a smile.
When Tie Xuan saw it, he couldn't help but remind him: "Don't ignore this matter."
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely deliver the letter."
Tie Xuan was still a little worried. Thinking of Chen Di's attitude of having everything under control just now, he suddenly felt that the entire Jinan Mansion was like a cage, locking him tightly in it.
"Don't take the official route." Tie Xuan waved his hand decisively.
??????????????????Tie Li was confused at this moment, "Don't follow the official path? Where can the young man go? Should he take the narrow path?"
A strong sense of crisis surrounded Tie Xuan, and he immediately waved his hand: "Take the water route! Go to Qingzhou Mansion and find a way to get out to sea."
"Going to sea?" Tie Li really couldn't understand the master's thoughts and said puzzledly: "Master, you don't think that I can go from Qingzhou Prefecture to the capital with a small boat, do you?"
"Of course you can't get there, but there are naval patrols on the sea near Qingzhou Prefecture. As long as you can find the patrolling navy, in the name of Mr. Jin of the academy, I think they will help you get to the capital."
This not only ensures that the letter is delivered to the capital, but it is even faster than going through the official route.
"Okay, since the master thinks so, then I will risk my life and go there." Tieli nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Tie Xuan was still a little worried, and continued: "It happens that tomorrow someone from the Chief Secretary is going to Qingzhou Prefecture to inspect official affairs. I will arrange you to be among the accompanying team. Remember, let me control your temper and try to have as little contact with him as possible. When others talk to you, don’t let anyone find out your purpose.”
"Yes." Tie Li was shaken up, and his playful smile instantly disappeared and he became bold and energetic.
The next day, after Tie Xuan sent Tie Li away, he felt a little relieved.
And he has a more important thing to do today, which is to have a showdown with Chen Di! Firstly, it was to cover up Tieli's departure, and secondly, he wanted to know how many people in Jinan Mansion had colluded with Chen Di.
As for his own safety, the moment he sent Tieli away, he no longer cared about it.
After everything was ready, Tie Xuan gave the order.
"Go, invite Chen Di to come over and talk."
Chen Di came to the Chief Secretary's Yamen and saw Tie Xuan wearing an official uniform and sitting upright.
He was about to say something with a smile, but he didn't expect Tie Xuan to give an order.
"Capture the rebellious officials and traitors!"
Dozens of people suddenly rushed out from behind the walls on both sides and pushed Chen Di to the ground in a hurry.
His face was squeezed to the ground, and Chen Di woke up from the severe pain. He immediately understood what was going on and said sternly: "Tie Xuan, have you learned all the respect for your teacher and respect for your teacher? You treat me like this!"
Seeing that Chen Di was being held firmly, Tie Xuan stood up and walked down step by step, saying coldly: "No matter how strict the teacher's teachings are, they cannot be more important than the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers."
Chen Di's face was red with anger. He had been playing tricks all his life, but he didn't expect that he would be played by Tie Xuan, a fool.
If Tie Xuan's past actions hadn't given him the preconceived impression that Tie Xuan was an honest person who was very easy to deceive, how could he have rashly walked in alone?
But Chen Di is not afraid. He has contacted many officials in Jinan Prefecture last night, and now at least half of Jinan Prefecture is in his hands.
"Tie Xuan, the entire Jinan Mansion is now under my control, why don't you let me go quickly!"
Tie Xuan's expression changed, he stared at Chen Di, gritted his teeth and said: "There is indeed someone in Jinan Mansion who is colluding with you!"
"Hahaha!" Even if someone controlled Chen Di's hands, he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Tiexuan, if you regret it now, it's too late. I see that you were once my student, so why not I can be lenient with you."
"If you are stubborn, don't blame me for being rude to you."
Tie Xuan did not rashly refute Chen Di, because he knew that with Chen Di's cunningness, he would not be without a back-up plan.
Sure enough, Tie Xuan didn't give the order to let him go. Chen Di immediately sneered and said: "Tie Xuan, although I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. But I'm not unprepared. To tell you the truth, if I don't go out in time, someone will immediately surround you."
Tie Xuan's expression changed. If Chen Di was telling the truth, it means that the people with military power in Jinan Mansion have defected to him.
"Come here, hurry up, close the door!"
"Hahaha..." Seeing the government officials' expressions changing drastically and hurriedly closing the door, Chen Di did not panic at all, but laughed unbridled.
Staring at Tie Xuan, he looked like he was sure of winning, "One hour, Tie Xuan, you only have one hour to think about it. After one hour, if you still don't let me go, then you just wait to die!"
In fact, Tie Xuan didn't have an hour at all, not even half an hour. Perhaps it was because the Chief Secretary's office was suddenly closed in broad daylight, which aroused suspicion among people outside.
Just over a quarter of an hour later, someone banged on the door of the Chief Secretary.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Open the door! Open the door..."
After Chen Di heard this, he immediately became happy: "Hahaha, Tiexuan, you still have time to let me go now."
】
Tie Xuan glared at Chen Di bitterly, and immediately said angrily to the government officials: "Go and ask where they come from. This is the Chief Secretary's office, and they dare to block it. Do they want to rebel?"
The yamen servant left quickly and came back even faster. He looked terrified and cried: "Sir, the people outside didn't talk to you at all. They just kept asking us to let us go, let us go..."
The yamen officer glanced at Chen Di and did not dare to continue.
Chen Di, with a smile on his face, glanced at Tie Xuan lightly and said, "Tie Xuan, you lose."
Tie Xuan ignored Chen Di's threat and directly ordered: "Tie him up to my officer."
The yamen servant immediately took out the hemp rope and put it around Chen Di's neck.
Chen Di's thin and tender neck was wrapped with a hemp rope, and he instantly felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Tie Xuan, how dare you tie me up!"
Tie Xuan ignored Chen Di and directly ordered: "Come here, guard the door. There are only a few rebels outside. As long as we persist until the defenders arrive, they will die without a burial place!"
When the people outside saw that the door was still not opening, they lost their patience and directly ordered an attack on the door.
boom! boom!
Thinking of the heavy banging on the door, Tie Xuan's expression changed drastically. He never thought that the people outside could actually use a battering ram.
The other party dared to use such drastic measures unscrupulously, obviously not afraid of being looked at. In other words, it is very likely that the entire Jinan Mansion will fall into the hands of the other party.
Under the huge impact of the battering ram, the door did not last long before cracks appeared in the door panels and the door pillars began to break.
Finally, with a loud bang, the door was smashed into pieces.
"Ho ho ho..."
A large group of sergeants rushed into the government office. Seeing the overwhelming number of people on the other side, the government officials immediately turned around and ran away. Even those who didn't run quickly put down the sword in their hands and lay on the ground with their heads in their hands, not daring to move.
"Tie Xuan, I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect you to be so ignorant of current affairs!" When Chen Di saw the sergeant coming in, the hemp rope on his body was so tight that it no longer hurt, and he looked very sad for Tie Xuan.
"I'll give you another chance. Let me go now, so I can forget the past!"
Even the officer who caught Chen Di was tempted after hearing this and subconsciously let go.
At this moment, the form has become clear, and anyone who sees it will continue to struggle, which is meaningless.
But Tie Xuan was different. He directly pulled out the government servant's waist knife and put it on Chen Di's neck.
"Tie Xuan, you, you are crazy, what do you want to do?" The cold blade was pressed against his neck, and Chen Di could even feel the sharpness of the knife from the touch of his skin.
When the sergeants who rushed in saw it, they quickly stopped. They were afraid that if they provoked Tie Xuan just a little bit, Chen Di would be killed on the spot.
But Tie Xuan faced the sergeant calmly and shouted coldly outside the Zhongyamen: "What? At this time, why don't you show up? Even if I am defeated, I still want to see whose hand it is. inside."
After the words fell, the dense crowd of sergeants retreated to both sides, and a man covered in armor strode in.
When Tie Xuan saw the person coming, his heart suddenly became cold.
"Oh it's you!"
"Master Tie, not only the last general, but the entire Jinan Mansion garrison has surrendered to the prince. Master Tie, the garrison you want to wait for will not come again."
Tie Xuan suddenly felt very lonely. The entire Jinan Mansion, and even the entire Shandong Dusi, seemed to be incompatible with him and could not even tolerate him.
"Master Tie, put down the knife."
Faced with the visitor's persuasion, Tie Xuan glared and shouted sternly: "I am eating the emperor's salary and sharing the emperor's worries, how can I surrender to the bandits!"
"Tie Xuan!" Chen Di suddenly felt something bad and said in a trembling voice: "His Royal Highness King Yan is also the biological son of Emperor Taizu Gao, and as long as the prince kills Han Du, why is there such a thing as a traitor?"
Tie Xuan turned his head coldly and looked at Chen Di: "They are just thieves. I don't believe that you will only kill Han Du after entering the capital..."
Everyone is not a fool. If King Yan really attacks the capital, how can he let His Majesty go?
Chen Di naturally knew this truth, but he didn't care. Even if Zhu Biao is killed, wouldn't it be better if King Yan himself sits on the throne of God? Then he will be more able to be promoted to a higher position.
"Although I am not talented, Emperor Taizu Gao lives in the wilderness. Today, I can only sacrifice my life to repay Emperor Taizu Gao's great kindness!"
"No!" Chen Di looked horrified.
But Tie Xuan waved his right hand hard, and a stream of blood instantly spurted out from Chen Di's neck.
Chen Di fell to the ground, letting blood spill on the ground, his eyes were extremely frightened, but he could do nothing except kicking his legs uncontrollably.
Chen Di is finished and his death can only be considered an instant matter.
When he thought of Chen Di dying in front of him, Lai Jiang's face instantly became very ugly.
Suddenly he waved his hand towards Zhong Tiexuan and shouted: "Kill him!"
Tie Xuan raised his hands with a smile on his face, let go of the sword and let it fall to the ground casually. He looked up at the sun in the sky, as if he saw the late emperor's voice and smile.
Swish, swish, swish...
Several knives penetrated Tie Hyun's body. Even at the moment of death, he still looked at the sun with a smile on his face.
