Yan Yi walked behind Gu Yunxi and said softly, "There are more than a hundred people in the yard, and about four to five hundred outside."

"There are actually four or five hundred yamen runners in a yamen?" Gu Yunxi was a little surprised. The scale of this yamen was really not small.

I have never seen such a powerful government office.

Wan Xinlan explained: "Jinzhou City is a trading city. There are many people coming here. It is crowded and chaotic, so a large number of people are needed to maintain order."

After all, the reason why there are so many people is because we collect a lot of tribute. Otherwise, we can’t afford to support them.

As for the tribute money, it was of course collected from the businessmen.

In a large trading city, there are a lot of people doing business and a lot of money, so it is not a problem to support hundreds of yamen runners.

"Heh, Gu Yunxi, Yan Yi, why don't you put down your weapons and surrender?"

Chang Qing took a step forward, put his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "Although I know that Master Yan is a martial arts expert, you don't think that just the four of you can defeat the more than one hundred palace masters here, do you?"

Even if those yamen runners were not there, the more than one hundred masters he brought with him would not be someone that Gu Yunxi and the others could easily deal with.

"Gu Yunxi, obey me obediently and tell me Jun Yexuan's whereabouts. I will spare your life. Otherwise..."

At this moment, Gu Yunxi looked up at all the yamen runners around her and said coldly, "Do you know that Prince Xuan is the son of the Northern Emperor?"

The bailiffs were stunned. They never expected that these words would come from Gu Yunxi's mouth.

The name Gu Yunxi was a shock to everyone. Chang Qing had called her that just now, which meant that this person was indeed Prince Xuan's confidante, the Crown Prince of Beiling.

So what she said must be true, right? The prince is really the son of Beidi!

"Gu Yunxi, you still dare..."

"You are all still young and don't know how brave the Northern Emperor was back then. Then go back and ask your parents, who didn't respect the Northern Emperor back then?"

The government officials looked at each other.

They were young, and Beidi had died suddenly before most of them were born.

But my parents are indeed people of Beidi.

Suddenly, a group of ordinary people came outside.

No one knew who spread the news that Prince Xuan was the son of the Northern Emperor. Now, they were going to the yamen to rescue Prince Xuan.

No one knew whether Prince Xuan was in the yamen, but the news came so fast and violently that it spread throughout the entire Jinzhou city in an instant.

People from nearby all came.

Some of them were even family members of the yamen runners.

"Release Lord Xuan! Release Lord Xuan! Release Lord Xuan!"

People began to shout and yell, and more and more people gathered together.

In just a blink of an eye, the entire yamen was surrounded by the people.

The shouts were getting louder and louder: "Release Lord Xuan! Release Lord Xuan! Release the Lord!"

The prefect panicked and hurried to Changqing's side, whispering, "Sir, what about now..."

"Someone, capture Gu Yunxi, Yan Yi and the others, and kill them all!" Chang Qing waved his hand, and the hundred or so imperial guards in the inner circle immediately rushed forward.

Nangong Chu jumped up, and his slender figure landed in front of Gu Yunxi. He flicked his long sleeves, and the guards who approached first were immediately forced to retreat by the power of his palm.

Three of them fell to the ground with thuds because their lower bodies were not stable enough, and they were unable to get up for a while.
