It's time for a showdown, all the powerful officials in Beijing are my students!

In a hidden courtyard on the back hill of Huangjue Temple.

There was a stern man in the room, his eyes as deep as the sea looked at the letter in his hand, and slowly became bottomless as he looked down silently.

Thinking that on his way back to Beijing, he was brought here silently by those people who were ordered to protect him. When he saw this person in front of him who was both familiar and yet strange, Li Ziyu was still a little nervous. surprised.

Although no one in An Mansion mentioned this person's identity at the beginning, everyone still had speculations in their minds.

In another room, a man with a calm and solemn expression sat there silently, holding something in his hand that someone had sent to Huangjue Temple for Master Wuwu, and his heart could not be calm for a long time.

The man raised his head and looked out the window with deep thoughts flashing in his eyes. He had not seen that person for a long time.

I remembered the day when I was taken away after recovering from my injuries, when I saw that majestic man and learned my identity.

He knew that it would be difficult for him to have an ordinary life and freedom in the future, and the things that happened to him that he could not understand before were all explained.

The early autumn sunshine shines lazily on the red walls and gray tiles of the temple. Incense is lingering and Buddhist chants float faintly. Two hearts disturbed by worldly affairs find a moment of peace.

The two handsome men, who had their own thoughts, just watched the sky getting brighter. Then, as the monks in the main hall came to chant scriptures, they got up and walked out, looked at each other, and began to do the morning exercises that someone once taught them.

Xuanping Hou Mansion.

Feng Yuxiu, Shan Yongzhen, Chi Lan, Chen Runze, Li Xin, Shen Wenxuan, and Kun Rui gathered together dejectedly.

"Hey, the teacher has been arrested for such a long time, and the elders in the family just told us not to act rashly.

In the past, you could go in and visit if you were older, but now you can't even go in. "

Feng Yuxiu patted Shan Yongzhen, who looked ugly and worried, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Mr. Shan will be fine as there is a teacher with him in the prison."

"My eldest brother's future father-in-law was also arrested this time. Now he and his father are asking around to see if there is any way to rescue the teacher and others."

Chi Lan glanced at everyone with a faint look in her eyes, lowered her head and thought about what her father said to herself. If you don't have the ability, sometimes you can only watch the people you care about get into trouble, and there is nothing you can do.

At this moment, Chi Lan, who wanted to save people but couldn't even get through the prison door of the Criminal Department, understood the teacher's words about the path you want to take.

If they choose to be ordinary, then if something happens, they can only be like this now and can't do anything except worry.

At this moment, the thin young man's eyes flashed with determination...

Feng Lingyun and Chen Runzhi looked at Gongsun Lanyue with tears in their eyes, worried about their father, and didn't know how to comfort them for a while.

Even food was not delivered to the prison cell of the Criminal Department, so they could only worry. Even when the younger brothers tried to force their way in, the elders in the family sent people to take them back and guard them to prevent them from leaving.

Worried that during this special period, their reckless behavior would not only fail to help their teacher, but might also implicate her.

When Mrs. Xuanpinghou learned that a group of children were gathered together, she sighed helplessly and ordered people to bring tea, fruits and cakes, and also watched to prevent them from going out to cause trouble.

Why shouldn't she be anxious? Although her daughter has not made it clear to Mr. An and her cousin, it is an indisputable fact that they look at each other.

An Xin and An Rui were both arrested, and their family was also very anxious.

My husband and eldest son, as well as Si Wei from the Jiang family of Cheng'en Palace, who was granted the title of Ren County Duke.

There were also some people who had a good relationship with An Xin and the others, and they were all trying to figure out how to save them at this time.

When Prime Minister Xiao learned that there were many people in the capital who were running for the officials who were against him in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and wanted to rescue them, a cold smile appeared on his thin old face.

He has not dealt with these people because he has not found a reason to execute them openly, but it doesn't matter that he can't do it openly. He has also secretly sent people to rob and kill criminals.

Then An Xin and others were notified that they would be exiled to the barbaric land of Lingnan where snakes, insects, rats and ants were everywhere, poisonous fog was miasma, and bandits were rampant.

In the prison of the Criminal Department, General Yuchi and General Gao glared at General Chen who came to visit them.

"Little man."

"traitor."

General Chen's eyes flashed with darkness, and then he changed his usual elegance and glanced at General Gao with disdain.

Then he turned to look at General Yuchi and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Hmph, what's wrong with me taking refuge in the Prime Minister? Now I alone have the final say in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing.

Don't say that I am not loyal enough. Considering that we have known each other for so many years, I beg the Prime Minister not to let you go with me when I am exiled this time. "

A hint of sarcasm flashed in the lowered eyes of a deputy general following General Chen.

Everyone could tell that General Yuchi and General Gao were not sent into exile together. This was not the result of General Chen's plea for mercy, which became arrogant without General Yuchi's pressure.

The purpose of imprisoning them in the capital was to check and balance their two sons, Yuchiyi and Gao Tai, who were still at the border in northern Hebei. "Humph, I don't know how to show appreciation. It's in vain that I, the general, come to see you out of my comradeship." General Chen saw that General Yuchi and General Gao were unwilling to pay attention to him, and he said with his arrogant head held high.

Huan Xiu left and passed by Anxin's cell. He stopped and glanced sideways at her with disdain.

"Don't expect my son to come and save you. Hum, he has been locked up at home by me. When you have been exiled out of Beijing for a long time, he will know that no rights are important."

An Xin in the cell paused and twitched his eyes, thinking that General Chen, your drama was a little too much.

General Chen may have sensed that An Xin despised him, so he rolled his eyes at her.

He is a serious general and not an actor, so he can just make do without having so many expressions.

I heard that some of the officials in the jail who were about to be exiled still refused to accept what Prime Minister Xiao and Concubine Xian had done, while others regretted their recklessness.

Leng Xiangbai and his brothers looked at An Xin who was panicked after hearing the news, with confusion flashing in their eyes.

When he looked up and saw the adjutant standing next to General Chen who looked at them with disdain, his face was immediately filled with fear and anxiety, and his voice was horrified: "Chief, I...are we really going to be exiled?!"

When the adjutant saw An Xin and Leng Xiangbai looking scared and panicked, the contempt in his eyes became even more intense. He thought to himself, aren't they usually very good at court?

Even their Prime Minister didn't take it seriously. Now when he heard that he was going to be exiled to Lingnan, snakes, insects, rats, and ants were running all over the place. He was flatulent and poisonous smoke was everywhere, and even the poor mountains and forests became frightened.

Wait until General Chen leaves with his lieutenants.

Teachers and students An Xin looked at each other, and then smiled at each other. There was no trace of fear or panic on their faces.

The next morning, the sun was rising.

The sky was still clear on the day An Xin and the others were escorted out of the cell.

Walking out of the dark cell, they were suddenly greeted by the sun. Everyone raised their hands to block the dazzling light.

An Xin glanced around and was surprised to see the second room of the Chen family in the exile team.

What was even more surprising was that after Liu Boxing came out, he was picked up by people sent by Prime Minister Xiao.

"Teacher, I'm sorry. If the student doesn't go with you, then let him go." He turned around and looked at An Xin and the others guiltily, saying with a choked voice.

"My grandfather is old, and I am the only one left in the Liu family. The student cannot let the Liu family die here. Therefore, I asked the prison chief to tell me that I want to join the Prime Minister. Teacher, don't blame me."

As if he had no shame to face An Xin and the others again, he turned around with twinkling eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Chief, brothers." After saying that, he turned around and hurriedly left with the people sent by the Prime Minister's Palace.

An Xin watched the scene happening quietly, as if he was angry, sad and shocked and speechless.

Several other people reacted with deep disbelief in their eyes. When Liu Boxing turned around, they shouted angrily: "You heartless white-eyed wolf."

The corners of An Rui's eyes were red and moist, and his voice was full of sadness: "Bah, a person like you is not worthy of being my cousin's student."

"Asshole, Liu Boxing." It could be seen that An Rui, who was clenching his fists, was really hurt by what happened suddenly.

Leng Xiangbai, Zhu Shijing, and Jiang Zhou also looked at what was happening in front of them in astonishment.

At the same time, An Xin looked sideways with a dark and unclear look, as if he was extremely angry and red-eyed. He turned his head and looked at Liu Boxing who was walking further and further away with an unkind look.

Leng Xiangbai: "A person like him is not worthy of being my junior brother at all."

Zhu Shijing: "From now on, I will never have a junior brother who is so greedy for life and afraid of death, who deceives the teacher and is unethical."

Jiang Zhou touched his chin and said in a calm voice, "Should I also betray a sect?!"

An Xin turned around and glanced at him disdainfully, lowering his voice: "Officials from Prime Minister Xiao's faction, tell me which one of them has not been tricked by you before. If you don't want to die in an ugly way, you can go and seek refuge with me and see if I can pull you away. "

Jiang Zhou secretly raised the corners of his mouth, touched his nose, and gave up the thought of staying here and not wanting to suffer.

Everyone else looked at the teacher An Xin with sympathy. Things like this often happened when officials were in decline. Some ministers had their homes confiscated and were exiled. Perhaps it was their own students who wanted to step on their own teachers and get higher positions.

It is not surprising that teachers and students turn against each other at times like this.

Shan Jinzhe and Gongsun Hong came over and patted An Xin on the shoulder as silent comfort.

But Old Doctor Su looked at An Xin with squinted eyes, and then turned to look at Liu Boxing, who had disappeared, with confusion flashing in his eyes.

Because the charges of the officials who were exiled this time were very vague, and there was no substantive evidence of crime, it can be said that it was the faction of Prime Minister Xiao and Concubine Xian that led to this exile in order to eliminate dissidents.

Therefore, this time the officials were only exiled themselves and did not involve their families in exile.
