My clone is on the other side of the starry sky

The afterglow of dusk gradually dissipated, and darkness began to cover the land.

At the gate of Shangyang County, the people who were coming in and out had almost left by this point. A curfew was recently implemented in the city. At this moment, except for the county guards guarding the gate, no one else could be seen at the gate.

"It's getting dark now." A county guard rubbed his hands. Under the green light of the city guard, they could still see something here, but they couldn't see anything farther away. arrive.

"Pack it up and prepare to close the door." The captain in charge of leading the team patted the bulging pocket around his waist, looked at a group of county guards and said: "Don't say I won't take care of you, I will take you to Goulan tonight to open your eyes."

"The leader is wise!" Several county guards' eyes lit up when they heard this.

"Boss, someone seems to be coming over there." A county guard suddenly pointed into the distance and frowned slightly.

The captain looked up when he heard this. In the darkness, there were faint lights swaying, very fast, and in an instant it turned into a fiery snake.

"Bad luck!" The captain's face looked a little ugly. In his sight, under the light of the fire, was the uniform of an official soldier, which meant that their working hours were about to be extended.

"Stand up straight, these border troops are the most picky."

"It's already this time, can't you come back tomorrow!?" Several guards cursed and stood back up. If they had known this, they would have closed the door earlier.

"Shut up, be careful these idiots hear it, they will cause trouble, and we will be the ones who suffer in the end!" The captain kicked the one who spoke and cursed.

While talking, the other party was already approaching.

The captain stepped forward quickly and shouted: "Password!"

"Xiaoyi, return the order!" Lu Xuan, dressed in military uniform, asked the troops to stop, rode his horse to the front of the team leader, and looked down at the opponent with a bit of contempt.

"Loyal Lord!" the captain said with a salute: "I wonder who the general is from? What is the purpose of his visit?"

"A certain person is a general under the command of Yang Aoying, and I have been ordered to send back a coffin." Lu Xuan said in a deep voice.

"I wonder who is in the coffin? If there is no important matter, foreign troops are not allowed to enter the city!" the captain frowned.

"Famous Confucian, Li Xinian!" Lu Xuan turned over and dismounted.

The captain's expression changed when he heard this. Not everyone can be called a famous Confucian. Everyone who can be called a famous Confucian is a model of Confucianism and a model of aristocratic families. To put it bluntly, even the prefect of Shangyang County is a famous Confucian. They also have to hold the disciple ceremony in front of them, no wonder there is such a big formation.

Not daring to talk nonsense, he turned around and hurried towards the city.

Lu Xuan's eyes swept over a county guard who was guarding the gate. His murderous gaze made each county guard feel tense and straighten his body.

"Yes, as a soldier of the imperial court, we should have such momentum!" After looking at it for a moment, Lu Xuan nodded with satisfaction, turned his horse and returned to his team.

"Brother, why don't we take action now?" A confidant came over and handed Lu Xuan a water bag. He glanced at the county guards at the city gate. If he took action now, he could easily rob the city gate.

Lu Xuan raised his head and took a sip of water, then turned his head to look at the city-protecting green energy at the top of the city. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the city-protecting green energy in Shangyang County was not as strong as Sanyang County.

"The prefect and the county magistrate both have the ability to mobilize the green energy to protect the city. It is easy to rush in, but it is difficult to come out alive!" Lu Xuan threw the water bag to his cronies and said: "Cheer up, no matter what. No one can act rashly on my orders!"

"Don't worry, brother!" The confidant nodded and stepped aside.

Lu Xuan waited outside the city gate for a full quarter of an hour before he heard a burst of rapid footsteps accompanied by crying and howling.

"Where is Mr. Xinian? Where is Mr. Xinian!?" A middle-aged man in official uniform staggered towards this side with the support of two guards.

Lu Xuan's eyes fell on the two guards, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

According to what the two flag officers said, the innate experts in the city were the three county captains, but they did not say that there were two other guards who also had innate abilities.

From the current point of view, innate masters can be regarded as transcendent existences among the people. How can they come to serve as guards for others?

"Everyone, please stop!" Lu Xuan stepped forward and stopped the officials who wanted to rush towards the coffin.

"Who are you?" A guard glared at Lu Xuandao.

"The humble position is under the command of Yang Ao Ying Zheng, Lu Xuan of the capital army!" Lu Xuan clasped his fists and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "The Ying Zheng has an order, Mr. Xi Nian's coffin can only be handed over to the prefect!"

"If you blind your eyes, you will see Prefect Zhou right in front of you!" a bookkeeper said angrily.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a humble position and don't know how to be a governor. It depends on your seal!" Lu Xuan shook his head.

"How presumptuous! If you can't defeat the capital's army, what qualifications do you have to check the prefect's seal!?" A county lieutenant shouted: "Are all Yang Ao's soldiers as arrogant as him!?"

"I'm sorry. I am here to deliver the coffin under the orders of the army. I must see the seal. Otherwise, even if blood is spilled here today, I will never let him go!" Lu Xuan collected all his true energy into his Dantian, took a step forward again, stretched out his hand to press the knife, and said solemnly. Said: "All armies obey orders and prepare to fight to the death!"

"drink!"

Behind Lu Xuan, two hundred rebels in military uniforms roared and took a step forward. They were originally here to kill people. At this moment, as Lu Xuan gave the order, they suddenly became like beasts that choose people to devour, with ferocious momentum. Many officials turned pale with fright.

"Reckless man, reckless man!" A scholar in gray robe pointed at Lu Xuan and cursed: "This is a county town. Is there anyone here who dares to pretend to be a prefect?"

"The general only listens to military orders!" Lu Xuan said coldly.

"That's enough!" Prefect Zhou Ji waved his hand, motioning for the two guards to get out of the way. He glanced at Lu Xuan with disgust and said, "This is the official seal of our government. Could it prove our identity?"

Because it is related to the green energy of protecting the city, officials such as prefects and county magistrates usually wear their official seals with them. Lu Xuan knew this, so he had this scene.

Lu Xuan's eyes fell carefully on the official seal in Zhou Ji's hand. After a moment, he took a step back, cupped his fists and said, "It's confirmed, sir, please forgive me!"

The originally tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated a lot.

"That's all, you were just following orders. I don't blame you!" Zhou Ji sighed. The sad atmosphere that he had created suddenly disappeared when Lu Xuan disturbed him like this. It seems that he would have to talk to General Sun about this later. , why are the people down here so unreliable?

Just as he was about to take back his official seal, he suddenly heard two exclamations: "Sir, be careful!"

The next moment, a cold light passed by the corner of his eyes. Zhou Ji felt his wrist go cold, and the hand holding the official seal was taken by Lu Xuan.

"You..." Zhou Ji looked at Lu Xuan blankly.

"Bang~"

No nonsense, Lu Xuan raised his long knife and wiped the neck of one of the innate guards who rushed forward. He looked at the other four innate guards who rushed forward, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Another person would be in trouble, but I am not an ordinary person.

The four innate masters who surrounded Lu Xuan felt their bodies sink at the same time, and the weapons in their hands seemed to be out of their control and seemed to be trying to break away from themselves.

This force of breaking away is not great, but it is fatal enough in this situation.

"Bang~"

Lu Xuan punched another guard on the head. The force directly shattered the other guard's head. At the same time, the steel knife in his hand collided with the sword of a county lieutenant.

The county captain felt his sword-holding hand being electrocuted, and the sword in his hand was immediately knocked away. The next moment, a slap grew larger and larger in his sight, covering his entire face.

Just as he was about to struggle, the strength in the opponent's hand increased sharply, and his body was dragged upwards.

"Pfft~"

Another county lieutenant came to kill him and slashed him with his sword, but Lu Xuan used the county lieutenant's body to block him. The knife in his hand blocked the third county lieutenant's spear.

The palm of his hand shook, and the steel knife sank directly into the chest and abdomen of the county lieutenant holding the gun. When he turned around, the county lieutenant who had cut his own robe also reacted and roared angrily to kill Lu Xuan again.

"go with!"

The strength of Lu Xuan's left arm increased sharply, and the body of the county lieutenant who was not dead in his hand was thrown out like a cannonball, hitting the knife-wielding county lieutenant. The two of them rolled together like a gourd on the ground.

Lu Xuan grabbed it with one hand, and the sword that fell on the ground fell into his hand, and he threw it backhand, pinning the two county captains to one place.

All this exchange is long, but in fact it only took a few breaths to complete. Many officials around them did not understand what was happening, and the officials in the front row had already turned around and wanted to leave.

Lu Xuan retracted his sword and shouted sternly: "Kill!"
