Chapter 120, The Windy and Sandy Mountains and Roads of the Eastern Capital
The helmsman revealed the face of the assassin, but the people present had doubts about the helmsman.Especially the young man who was closely protecting the emperor, brandishing two knives in his hands, the right knives rested on the helmsman's neck and said: "I think you are a thief calling for a thief! Maybe you have agreed to murder His Majesty?"

Upon hearing this, the emperor got up immediately, waved his folding fan, stroked his long beard and said, "Wait a minute, I think this chivalrous man is not here to kill me, but to save my life."

The young man put away the two knives in his hands and said, "Then who are you?"

The helmsman held the poisoned middle-aged man tightly with one hand, took off the bamboo hat with the other hand, slowly raised his head and said, "Besides is Li Yaoshi's young apprentice Su Wufeng, who is here to protect the Holy Lord and inspect the Eastern Capital."

When the emperor heard this, he smiled with the white-haired old man, and the white-haired old man smiled and said, "It's Brother Li's disciple. It seems that Brother Li has sent all his disciples out this time. Your Majesty's journey will be safe."

The helmsman asked, "Who are you? Why did you assassinate His Majesty?"

The middle-aged man slowly raised his hand, stared at the helmsman and said, "Huh".Black blood gushed from the corner of the middle-aged man's mouth, and he lowered his head without breathing.

The helmsman got up and released the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man collapsed on the deck.The emperor said with a "sigh": "I really don't want to see such a scene, so that a person would--, Fang Aiqing, what do you think of this person?"

The white-haired old man stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty, after the ship docked, I asked the officials to find this person's family and send gold and silver as comfort."

The emperor thought for a moment and said: "Old Aiqing's words are very true. Although a person dies, but there is a family member, you can't let the family member be unable to survive. I ask Aiqing to take care of you."

The helmsman knelt down immediately, and said: "The sage is wise and benevolent, and I, Su Wufeng, is willing to live and die for His Majesty, and will not hesitate."

The emperor said with a "haha" smile, "The hero is a disciple of Li Yaoshi. Then Li Yaoshi was my right-hand man and founding father before. If the hero is willing to contribute to the country, then I will never treat the hero badly."

Su Wufeng shook his head and said: "I have no intention of fame and fortune, as long as I can do a little bit for the safety of the people, my wish is enough."

When the emperor heard this, he laughed "haha" and said, "I never imagined that heroes and commanders are so indifferent to fame and wealth, they only imagine for our country and society. How can I not use such a great talent."

Su Wufeng knelt down again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The white-haired old man smiled and said: "Your Majesty has been blessed by misfortune and talent! It's really gratifying."

The emperor glanced at Su Wufeng and said, "How does the hero know that I am in danger?"

Su Wufeng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I just listened to another senior brother who told me to wait for Your Majesty by the Yellow River. I thought it was a joke, but it turns out that that senior brother is really The most intelligent man in the world."

"Oh! There are other people like this under the Commander." The white-haired old man asked.

Su Wufeng nodded and said: "This person is the third son Wei Xun, but unfortunately, this person is stubborn by nature and offended His Majesty."

The emperor was startled, turned around and said: "The hero is talking about this person. I saw that this young master was Lord Wei's youngest son, and I used this person early on. Unfortunately, this person did not make any achievements? Now assassinate me, this person What talent do you have?"

Su Wufeng raised his head and said: "Your Majesty! Wei Xun's talent has won the true biography of his family teacher. He is proficient in Qimen Dunjia, art of war, strategy of governing the country, and martial arts calligraphy. It's just that this person loves Taoism and has spoken with his family teacher beforehand. After a hundred years of master, I will inherit the master and continue to pursue Taoism."

Upon hearing this, the emperor turned around and said, "Then where is this person?"

Su Wufeng said: "Your Majesty, if you talk about things, if you stop talking, it will make the brother uneasy."

The emperor smiled and said: "Heroes are really straightforward people, so next time you see Wei Xun, you might as well let me see this man's supernatural powers."

The white-haired old man said with a "haha" smile: "The third son, Wei Xun, used to be an official in the yamen of the capital, but he was relatively lazy and seldom reported on his duties in the yamen. Since he is the son of Mr. Wei, he has never been Move this person, I think this person is just an ordinary person."

Su Wufeng said: "Your Majesty, that Wei Xun's talent is far above mine. Because of her intoxicating beauty, it is difficult for people to let go of their children's love, so they have no desire to make progress. If Your Majesty can let Wei Xun know that the emperor's grace is mighty, He will definitely help His Majesty."

"What is the meaning of a hero?" asked the emperor.

Su Wufeng saluted and said: "Your Majesty can pardon the crimes of the third son, and let Miss Chen Wanman and the third son make a good relationship between Qin and Jin. The third son must be grateful and will definitely come out to help your majesty."

The emperor turned around again and said: "Heroes, don't think wildly, I have my own clever plan, please rest assured, heroes, I will give the third son a good explanation and ask the hero to die."

Su Wufeng got up and said: "Your Majesty is really a wise king through the ages."

The emperor thought to himself: "This Wei Xun is a very powerful talent, but I have even betrothed my own daughter to this person, but this person really doesn't know how to praise him. If this person can seek the Tao and ignore worldly affairs, that would be a good thing. If this person is not used by our Great Tang, we must get rid of this person."

The emperor thought for a moment, then turned around and said, "I still have something to discuss with Fang Aiqing, please wait outside for a while, and I will give Su Yingxiong the post later."

The middle-aged man saluted and said, "Su Yingxiong, please follow me outside to talk."

When the two went out, the emperor said: "Aiqing, it seems that Wei Xun really doesn't want to do things for my Tang Dynasty! What does Aiqing think?"

Hearing this, the white-haired old man looked at the emperor, bowed his head, and said, "Your Majesty, this matter depends entirely on Her Highness the Princess. That Wei Xun is not my weak son, but an indomitable person. Although Princess Fei'an and my daughter-in-law are compatriots, But Princess Fei'an is talented and learned, and it is rare to see a strange woman, the old minister asks His Majesty to give them a chance, this matter cannot be decided too early."

The emperor smiled slightly and said: "What Ai Qing said is very true. Because I couldn't help it for a while, I resented Master Wei for leaving me first, leaving behind thousands of miles of capable ministers without support. I hope Fei An can make up for me. a little."

The white-haired old man smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the third son Wei Xun is not a rebellious person, but he is a good friend with the son of the old minister and knows that my son has some problems with the princess, but he will not let the princess down." , It’s just that the two of them are slowly getting in touch.”

The emperor said with a "haha" smile, "It seems that you, a fox, see things better than I do."

The scholar in Tsing Yi returned to the guest room where the emperor lived, and was startled when he saw Su Wufeng.Thinking secretly, "Looks like I guessed wrong, the masked man is not Junior Brother Xue and Third Young Master, but Junior Junior Brother, so don't be afraid, this Junior Junior Brother has an upright nature, no matter how hard he tries, he may not be my opponent. Speaking of which, my contribution will be higher than any of them."

The scholar in Tsing Yi thought for a moment, then slowly stepped forward and said: "It turns out that Junior Brother Su is also here, I haven't seen him for many years, Junior Brother is not what he used to be, he can go out of the mountain."

Su Wufeng saluted and said: "Brother, I just came out to play, Master didn't let me go down the mountain."

The scholar in Tsing Yi said with a "haha" smile: "Master once said that our brothers and sisters complement each other. If one person goes down the mountain, the others will go down the mountain to help. I don't think the younger brother will go down the mountain to play."

Su Wufeng smiled and said: "It seems that I still can't hide it from Senior Brother. I did receive a letter from Senior Brother Wei Feige to protect His Majesty."

"That's right, but I received an order from my master to go to Longmen County to accept an important mission." The scholar in Tsing Yi said.

When Su Wufeng heard this, he considered for a moment and said, "Why did the master make such an arrangement? What's the matter? Judging by the complexion of the master, it seems that it is not the same as before."

"Heroes, Your Majesty invites you to come in." An old voice came.

The door of the house opened, and everyone walked in. The white-haired old man stood in front and shouted: "You two heroes, please kneel down and listen."

The scholar in Tsing Yi and Su Wufeng knelt down immediately, and the white-haired old man said: "The two heroes are brave, and His Majesty conferred the title of two sixth-rank loyal generals, and they will work under the horse guards in the future. They will be used in the future. Thank you!"

The two said in unison: "I will accept the order!"

The young man smiled and said, "Congratulations to the two heroes!"

The scholar in Tsing Yi saluted and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to thank the emperor for his kindness, but I am going to Longmen to see Master, lest I will disappoint Your Majesty."

The emperor turned around and said with a smile: "It turns out that the commander-in-chief is at Longmen."

The scholar in Tsing Yi saluted immediately and said, "Exactly!"

The emperor said happily: "Then invite Li Yaoshi to Luoyang for a talk, I want to see him too."

Upon hearing this, the scholar in Tsing Yi said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely invite Master to Luoyang."

The emperor glanced at Su Wufeng and asked, "Then what is the private matter of Hero Su?"

Su Wufeng cut the gold and cut the iron and said: "I have no personal affairs, I only hope that Your Majesty can pardon Wei Xun."

The emperor stared at Su Wufeng and said with a smile: "Okay! Hero Su is indeed courageous. I will give you a little hope today. I will not kill Wei Xun, but I will give him a chance. However, whether it is a talent or a waste, it depends on him." own."

Su Wufeng saluted and said: "I thank Your Majesty."

The emperor shook his head, looked at the assassin who was still lying on the ground, and said, "Please, Hero Su, drag this man down first, and deal with it when he reaches the shore."

Su Wufeng bent down, grabbed the dying assassin, carried it on his shoulder and walked out.

The scholar in Tsing Yi looked at Su Wufeng and thought: "How come even the younger brother speaks for the third son Wei Xun? This Wei Xun can really turn things around. He is obviously a fugitive, but he is lucky."

The emperor looked at the scholar in Tsing Yi and asked, "How is the relationship between the hero and the third son?"

The scholar in Tsing Yi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, although I belong to the same family as the Third Young Master, but this man is rebellious and defiant, and he doesn't know how to praise him. It's really annoying."

Hearing this, the emperor smiled slightly and said, "Don't tell me the hero doesn't want to plead for the third son. Just now that hero Su was able to plead for the third son. What do you think?"

The scholar in Tsing Yi saluted and said: "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. The third son Wei Xun's crime is unforgivable. I can't be like a foolish brother."

The emperor turned around and said, "You can go down now."
