Xia Houxuan carried the little chamberlain with his left hand and walked all the way to the place where the imperial city's military guard camp was stationed.
As the commander of Yulin Camp, one of the imperial guards, he naturally has the authority to walk in the outer city of the imperial city.
"It turns out to be...the Marquis of Changling. Who are you?"
"I'm here to find you, General Wuwei!"
The two guards in plain clothes at the gate of Wuweiying Dazhai were frightened by Xia Houxuan's fierceness. Of course they saw the palace servant being carried by Xia Houxuan. The two of them were shocked, and one of them immediately Then he entered the camp and reported. The remaining person bravely said:
"Master Marquis, can you... give me your weapons? According to the rules, non-sergeants of the Wuwei camp are not allowed to bring weapons into the Wuwei camp's stronghold..."
[Note 1: Rujia is a unique type of open-front light armor with a tie on the right side of the Han Dynasty. 】
The soldiers of the Wuwei camp, who were supposed to be domineering, were now intimidated by Xia Houxuan's momentum, and even spoke a little stumblingly.
Hearing this, Xia Houxuan did not answer, but neatly took off the sword from his waist and threw it towards the guard. The soldier quickly caught the cold sword with both hands.
Not long after, General Cao Shuang and Lieutenant General Cao Xi, who had received the message, were surprised when they heard that Xia Houxuan had come in person, and he was also carrying a servant. The two brothers immediately came to the camp gate to greet them in person. .
"Taichu, what are you..."
When Cao Xi saw Xia Houxuan's angry look, he first asked in astonishment.
Cao Shuang was equally horrified when he saw this situation, but he did not ask questions at the moment because he believed that Xia Houxuan would definitely give him an explanation.
Xia Houxuan was so angry that he threw the servant on the ground and asked Cao Shuang coldly:
"Marquis Shaoling, I am here today to ask for someone from you."
Cao Shuang was still extremely confused, and he couldn't help but ask:
"I wonder what Taichu is doing and who he wants?"
Xia Houxuan said:
"Wang Yi, the centurion of the Wuwei Camp, harmed a noble man in my house ten years ago, and today he indulged his subordinates and colluded with his servant, causing my beloved son to die in the belly of a thorn tree. Therefore, Xuan wants to end this matter with his own hands today!"
When brothers Cao Shuang and Cao Xi heard this, they were shocked again. They didn't expect that something happened to the baby in their cousin's belly. No wonder Taichu was so excited.
Cao Shuang thought at this moment: Wang Yi is a capable general under his command, and he has always behaved appropriately. The tragedy ten years ago was the result of the decree of Empress Wu Xuan and Bian. There must be some misunderstanding in today's matter. He felt that Xiahou Xuan has always been smart and wise, and with his two brothers and many forbidden troops stationed here, he should not do anything big. As long as the matter is explained clearly later, everything will be solved easily.
Thinking about this, Cao Shuang nodded and shouted loudly:
"Quickly send word that Wang Yi, a hundred-man general from Zuoying, is here to see me!"
"only!"
A village commander beside him immediately ran out of the stronghold and towards the sentry post where Wang Yi was stationed. After about half an hour, Wang Yi arrived at the village under the leadership of the village chief.
And within this half hour, Cao Shuang and Cao Xi also roughly asked about the cause and effect of this matter.
Not long after, Xia Houxuan saw from the corner of his eye a soldier wearing thick black armor, like a black iron tower, appearing at the gate of Dazhai.
[Note 2: Black light armor is a kind of fish scale heavy armor during the Three Kingdoms period. Generally, this armor is equipped with a golden face shield. 】
He raised his eyes and saw that this person was Wang Yi.
As soon as Wang Yi arrived at the stronghold, he felt a burst of evil energy. He glanced at Xia Houxuan in the camp and felt a sudden shock in his heart. He glanced at the paralyzed chamberlain on the ground again, and recognized that this was the chamberlain who often sent him letters in the palace of Concubine Qiu. He was even more puzzled.
"The last general will see General Wuwei, Vice-General, and the Marquis of Changling."
After Cao Shuang said "Huh", he pouted angrily towards Xia Houxuan and said to Wang Yi:
"Wang Yi, Madam of the Marquis of Changling, after entering the palace today to diagnose His Majesty's pulse and perform acupuncture, on the way out of the palace, she was frightened by a playful dog that escaped from the palace, causing harm to the fetus in her belly. This matter can be What does it have to do with you?"
When Wang Yi heard this, he glanced at Xia Houxuan, whose face was filled with murderous intent, and the pale eunuch who was lying on the ground. His heart was already filled with anxiety. He, who had never had any scheming intentions, knelt down on the ground with a plop:
"General, I only know that Concubine Qiu asked me for a playful dog, saying that she would send this servant to wait by the roadside near the dog room in the palace today. Other than that, I don't know anything else, General! "
After hearing this, Cao Shuang compared what Xiahou Xuan had just said, and he already understood in his heart that this matter was indeed related to Wang Yi. He glared at Wang Yi fiercely, felt furious in his heart, and couldn't help but curse:
"fool!"
After hearing this, Xia Houxuan sneered at the corner of his mouth. The old hatred from ten years ago and the new hatred today made him determined to kill Wang Yi personally!
He knew in his heart that Wang Yi was guilty of having an affair with an internal official. Today, Cao Shuang and Uncle Zhao notarized it, and this young internal servant was also a witness. Even if he violated the system today and used lynching, he still had a way out. feasible.
In an instant, Cao Shuang and Cao Xi saw a white shadow moving suddenly. Xiahou Xuan moved like thunder, already rising up and rushing toward Wang Yi, who was covered in armor!
Although Wang Yi is good at martial arts, he can't escape Xiahou Cao's unique internal skill: Cloud Walk and Rain Step.
There was only a "click" sound, and Wang Yi felt a sharp pain in his jaw. Two molars and a pool of blood spurted out from his mouth!
Xia Houxuan's fists were like drumsticks, one punch landed, and the other hit again. Before Cao Shuang and Cao Xi could react, Wang Yi had already withstood Xia Houxuan's nine heavy blows!
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Cao Shuang and Cao Xi immediately stepped forward to stop him. Cao Xi had no other thoughts in his mind. He only knew that once his cousin killed Wang Yi, he would definitely get into a lot of trouble.
Seeing the two men coming to attack, Xia Houxuan abandoned Wang Yi, who had lost all his teeth and was beyond recognition. He turned around and used the boxing technique derived from the sword move, "Look up to the spring breeze and Mu Xi, listen to the mourning of the birds", and left his hands With one right, they attacked Cao Shuang's right arm and Cao Xi's left shoulder respectively. Only three bangs were heard. Cao Shuang and Cao Xi brothers were hit respectively, while Wang Yi's lumbar spine was lifted up by Xia Houxuan. Hit by a kick.
In just a split second, Cao Shuang and Cao Xi were forced back by Xia Houxuan, who was merciless and powerful. Wang Yi, who was already beaten and had no power to fight back, was beaten back by Xia Houxuan in an instant. Instant kill!
When Cao Xi saw this, he was extremely shocked. He knew in his heart that his cousin might be in big trouble this time.
——————
After meeting Xia Houxuan in person, He Zeng He Yingkao, a regular servant of Sanqi who also serves as a school official, is now led by an emperor's chamberlain, together with Tingwei Gao Rou and Gao Xun, who is the meritorious officer of Tingwei Mansion, in a hurry Walking in the corridor leading to Jiafu Hall in the Imperial City.
The three people soon met Emperor Cao Rui and informed Cao Rui of the ins and outs of everything.
When Cao Rui heard about Li Huigu's miscarriage, the plot of Princess Cao Ling of Dongxiang, and the fact that Concubine Qiu's internal and external affairs were linked to the centurion of the Wuwei camp, Wang Yi, and Xia Houxuan killed Wang Yi, he was instantly furious.
With a clang, the celadon Boshan incense burner on the imperial couch was instantly knocked down by the emperor onto the white marble floor tiles, and shattered into countless cyan residues and powder.
Never had I seen the emperor so angry, and I immediately regretted it. He suddenly remembered that the emperor had been in poor health recently, and it was really not good to be so angry now.
"Han Yong, call Cao Ling, the chamberlain in Qiu's palace, Xia Houxuan, and Cao Shuang, all come to me!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Han Yong seemed very calm at the moment. After listening to the emperor's words, he immediately left the palace to summon him.
Gao Rou, Gao Xun's uncle and nephew were shocked when they heard that the first person summoned by the emperor was Princess Dongxiang.
In this way, the four monarchs and ministers were relatively speechless at the moment. Gao Rou, Gao Xun, and He Zeng just knelt on the ground without saying a word. The emperor turned his back to the three of them and stood with his hands tied. Because he was extremely angry at the moment, he secretly Looking up, He Zeng could still see Cao Rui's vest waving.
In this way, after the three of them waited excruciatingly for half an hour, the servant who informed them finally entered the palace.
"Your Majesty, Princess Dongxiang, the Marquis of Changling, the Marquis of Shaoling, and the chamberlains of Concubine Qiu have all been brought outside the palace."
After several breaths of silence, Cao Rui finally spoke:
"Teach that dog slave to come in first!"
The chamberlain naturally understood who the emperor was talking about, and not long after, the chamberlain of Qiu's palace was brought into the main hall.
When Cao Rui heard the footsteps and trembling sounds of the visitor, he did not turn around. He just silently took the "Hanzhang Sword" from the sword stand.
When Gao Rou, Gao Xun, He Zeng, and the little chamberlain saw the emperor slowly draw out the cold white sword blade, they all felt a powerful murderous aura. This murderous aura forced them to not even dare to breathe. .
At this moment, a sudden change occurred, and the emperor turned around suddenly. Everyone saw a burst of white light passing through the air, and heard a tragic howl. The little chamberlain was cut into two pieces by the emperor's sword. !
Gao Rou is old and has never seen such a bloody scene. If he hadn't suppressed the desire not to be rude in front of the emperor, he might have fainted long ago. But He Zeng and Gao Xun, two scribes who rarely see blood, , suddenly felt a sense of nausea in their chests, but they also did not dare to disobey you, so they could only hold it back.
After Cao Rui killed the servant, there was no expression on his face. He just continued to say word by word:
"Call Cao Ling in!"
Soon, Princess Cao Ling of Dongxiang came to the main hall. Seeing the bloody scene, as well as her grandfather Gaorou and her husband Gao Xun kneeling on the ground, her pretty face suddenly turned pale.
Cao Rui didn't wait for Cao Ling to speak, turned around and slapped Cao Ling hard on the face. Cao Ling was even more frightened now. Five bright red fingerprints were left on her face that had turned pale!
Cao Ling had been pampered since she was a child. She had never suffered such a blow. She collapsed to the ground and started crying.
Seeing this, Gao Xun felt a sudden pain in his heart. Just when Cao Ling was slapped, his hatred for Xia Houxuan became even stronger.
Cao Rui's face was still as still as water at this moment, without any expression. After another long while, he spoke:
"Call Xia Houxuan and Cao Shuang in!"
Soon, the two came to Jiafu Hall. Cao Rui looked at Cao Shuang and Xia Houxuan for a long time.
Cao Shuang was not wearing an official uniform at the moment, but a t-shirt, and he was carrying a bunch of thorns on his back! He knew in his heart that he had always been cautious, but this time he did not find that Wang Yi and Qiu were exchanging information under the eyes of the emperor. In addition, he also allowed Xia Houxuan to easily deal with Wang Yi privately. In this way, the emperor While the imperial army was disgraced, how glorious could the emperor's face be?
Therefore, Cao Shuang came here carrying a bush in an attempt to alleviate the emperor's anger. Seeing how violent the emperor was, he was shocked:
"Your Majesty, remember not to hurt the dragon's body in anger!"
When Cao Rui heard this, he still had no reaction.
After a while, Xia Houxuan, who had the same indifferent expression, glanced around the hall and spoke:
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself and don't let Zhuo Jing's efforts and the life of Wei Chen's unborn child go to waste!"
Cao Rui's body visibly trembled after hearing these words. Although he was extremely angry at the moment, he understood that in short, it was his Cao family that was sorry for Xia Houxuan in this matter.
"The Marquis of Changling and the Marquis of Shaoling acted improperly. Each of them cut down a hundred households in the city and commanded an army of twenty! You guys, go back to your home now!"
Finally, the blood stains and corpses in the main hall were cleaned up, and the people in the main hall also left cleanly. In the empty Jiafu Hall, after the emperor was silent for a long time, he vomited out a mouthful of bright red blood and passed out. On the ground!
Han Yong outside the hall heard the noise and rushed into the hall immediately. He saw the emperor falling behind him. Although he was very panicked on the surface, he was secretly happy in his heart. He thought that now he could finally recommend him to the emperor. That Shouchun peasant woman was there. At this moment, Han Yong, who was thinking a lot in his heart, shouted at the top of his voice:
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Call the imperial doctor quickly!"
