Rebellious officials bow their heads

Even through a cloth towel, Xu Yan couldn't see the other person's face, but he could easily recognize the person's identity - Xie Linze.

The silhouette of the man on the eaves of the wall was dipped in the moonlight, and it was coated with a layer of light silver light. He raised his hand and pulled the string like a full moon, and pointed the coldly shining arrow tip at Fei Lianshu below.

Following this movement, a part of the team surrounding Xu Yan and the others pulled away, and stood in front of Fei Lianshu.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xu Yan and Xie Linze charged towards the outside of the encirclement before making up for the gaps. However, the guards were obviously well-trained and rushed towards them one after another.There were too many enemies and they were densely packed. Xu Yan was almost hit by the guards attacking him from the side and behind several times. Fortunately, Xie Linze who stood on a high place was guarding him.

Most of the Fu Luo he was in had dissipated, and he could clearly see the movement of the entire courtyard. He found Xu Yan among the torches and figures shaking around, and the finger that pulled the string was loosened, and the arrow feathers shot through the night. The guard shot through.Without a moment's pause, he put three more arrows on the bow and aimed at the remaining enemies.

The scene fell into chaos, the general yelled in Beiluo's words to take down the archer, and yelled to grab the two assassins, don't let them go.Xu Yan failed to get away from the crowd several times. There were more and more guards around him, and the bloody wind spread in all directions. There were gaps in the knife in his hand, and He Liancheng was completely a drag, and could only bend over. She hugged her head to dodge, followed behind him and focused on covering her face, without making a move at all.

Just as Xu Yan pulled the knife out of the enemy's chest, He Liancheng grabbed his arm. He frowned tightly, staring at the shadows of swords and swords around him, "What are you doing?"

He Liancheng said awkwardly: "Actually, I brought someone with me."

A vein twitched in the corner of Xu Yan's forehead, and he tried his best to suppress the desire to hit someone, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I didn't know that there would be such a big battle. I thought it was unnecessary. Now it seems that we can't get out if they don't take action..." He Liancheng put his finger on his mouth and let out a helpless expression. Loud and sharp whistle.

Immediately following the command of the voice, in the shadows of the huge courtyard, more than 20 masked men in black appeared on the corners of the walls and on the eaves. Before that, none of them, including Xie Linze, had noticed their existence.

These masked men were extremely agile and rushed towards Fei Lianshu's guards, like countless demons and monsters wandering in the middle of the night, with blood splashing as they raised their knives. Under their cover, the two were able to leave the encirclement. Rush outside the courtyard.

Xie Linze also fell down the wall, brought Zhou Yuan and Xu Yan together, and the guards followed closely behind Gongsun Ye, chasing and killing the group of people, the sound of footsteps went away, and only Fei Lianshu and Gongsun were left in the yard Wild two.

General Gongsun Ye was also responsible for the implementation of the plan. He thought it was safe, but he never expected such a result. He followed the team unwillingly and stopped for two steps. He looked in the direction they were fleeing, and was incredulously angry. Said: "What's going on? Who sent those people?"

Fei Lianshu, who was behind him, walked down the stone steps, with no expression of joy or anger on his bearded face. There were corpses and stumps everywhere in the courtyard. He picked up a dagger on the ground and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Gongsun Ye asked, "My lord, what is the mystery of this thing?"

Fei Lianshu: "Most of the blacksmiths in the capital are employed by me, but the swords they forge are not as sharp. They are not made by ordinary blacksmiths, but rather come out of the palace."

"You mean..." Gongsunye realized the meaning of his words, and couldn't help showing a look of horror, "Just now that was..."

Fei Lianshu's eyes were gloomy, "Those masked kings are personal guards. Of the two people who appeared just now, one should be from the Central Plains named Xu Yan, and the other should be the king."

"Then, what should I do?" Gongsun Ye stuttered in shock.

"Tell our people to return, and pretend that this incident never happened."

The chase subsided in the deep coldness, Xie Linze and his party hurried back to the palace, Zhou Yuan suffered some minor injuries in the prison, he hurriedly backed away from the witch doctor summoned by He Liancheng, and went to the palace by himself. After hearing that Xie Linze's Fo Luosan was cured by a witch doctor, he wanted to catch up and discuss it, but was stopped by Xu Yan.

He Liancheng helped them a lot this time, and smugly wandered in front of them, begging for a reward.

Xie Linze sat in the room warmed by the fire, thought for a while and said: "We came here in a hurry, and we don't have any valuable treasures, so how about we cook some Central Plains dishes to thank you?"

When Xu Yan heard him talking about cooking in such a serious tone, it seemed that he could cook, but the peach blossom crisps back then were still vivid in his memory.

He Liancheng sat in the buckskin chair with his legs crossed, and raised his thick eyebrows when he heard the words, "Just a few dishes from the Central Plains? You can't even come back, do you know how much favor you owe me? Xie Linze, you are an emperor anyway, Why don't you exchange a few cities in Lingbei?"

Xie Linze smiled and said: "Although I am the emperor, the city belongs to the common people, so I don't care. Besides, you have heard that courtesy is more important than affection, right?"

He Liancheng muttered in dissatisfaction, he also knew that it was impossible to get Lingbei, and talking about the city was no different from talking about when the two countries would go to war, so he nodded reluctantly, "It's late at night, tomorrow's lunch will be handed over to Yes, don't forget."

After he left, Xu Yan looked at Xie Linze, "Do you know how to cook?"

Xie Linze smiled: "Of course, it's just cooking."

At this moment, Zhou Yuan opened the door and came in. Holding a few buns in one hand and a plate of fried wild vegetables in the other, he found a place to sit on the ground, and said with disgust, "Why is the food in the palace so unpalatable?"

Xie Linze and Xu Yan turned to him, "How did you get caught by Gongsunye?"

Zhou Yuan said: "Isn't it because Qingci knew that we came to Beiluo, so Fei Lianshu sent someone to look for it, and I was arrested after sending a letter to the people in the door. Fortunately, the spies in the door slipped away first. "

"How's the situation in Dazhao Chaotang now?" Xie Linze asked what was always on his mind.

Zhou Yuan changed his sitting position and glanced at Xu Yan, "He should have expected the current situation when he brought you out, Your Majesty. Once you leave, the situation that our Baijumen and the Ji family have painstakingly created will be ruined once." , Qingci has made a comeback, and he can do everything with Duyunguan, after a few Qingjiao, the popularity has returned, and now he is fighting with the Jimu family."

He took a bite of the cornbread, and his voice became vague: "But it seems that the Mu family can't last long, and the Ji family is a lot of wear and tear."

Xie Linze pondered, and the room fell silent for a while.

Zhou Yuan chewed his food, taking advantage of the other party's absent-mindedness, he glanced at Xu Yan again, with a hint in his eyes.

Xu Yan cast a puzzled look at him.

Zhou Yuan cleared his throat, "Bei Rao doesn't even have wooden chopsticks, and I can't even eat food. I'm too unfamiliar with the palace. Xu Yan, take me to find some bamboo slices for wooden chopsticks?"

Xie Linze turned around, walked towards the bed, and said without looking back: "It's just right, let Xu Yan arrange a room for you to live in, I'll rest first."

The two walked out of the door, and there was a creaking sound of the door closing behind them. Xie Linze stopped walking towards the bed, turned to the other side and came to the window. He raised his hand and opened the wooden window silently, so that he could clearly see He heard Xu Yan's voice from the wall.

Xu Yan: "What happened?"

Zhou Yuan: "When will His Majesty's residual poison be cleared?"

"I asked the witch doctor the day before yesterday that the Mother-Child Gu had no effect last time. It would take at least two months to refine a portion of Foluosan. What's the matter?"

Zhou Yuan paused for a moment, then said again: "Have you considered going back to Li Town? Mrs. Xu is ill."

Xie Linze's fingers on the window sill were clenched tightly, but his face was calm. The firelight from the clay stove next to him cast a faint warm color on his side face.

Maybe it was Zhou Yuan who saw the change in Xu Yan's expression, and quickly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, there is nothing serious about it, it's just that it's cold in winter, and it's inevitable that there will be some wind and cold. I have already asked the doctor to take medicine, but she misses you very much. I can't go back at the age of [-], and Ah Zhong has been talking about you and the emperor..."

There was silence outside for a while, and time seemed to pass extremely slowly. Xie Linze remembered that it was because of his mother that Xu Yan walked through the most difficult hurdles in life step by step, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. The sigh was stuck in his throat and he hadn't let it out Go, and then he heard Xu Yan reply: "I can't get away now, so please go back and help me see her first. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back this year, and I will go back when things happen here."

"Hey, what kind words did you say? Don't worry. We are brothers, and your mother is my mother. I will go back tomorrow. Besides, I have eaten so many meals from Mrs. Xu, so I can't eat it for nothing. I have to say , Bei Rao's food is really unpalatable..."

The sound of two people's footsteps gradually faded away.

Xie Linze closed the wooden window, went back to the bed and fell into the soft quilt, rubbed his cheeks against the quilt, and after a moment of silence, he got into the cold quilt and slowly warmed up, waiting for Xu Yan to come back from the room .

After Xu Yan arranged for Zhou Yuan, he entered the door. As soon as he sat down on the side of the bed, Xie Linze, who he thought was already asleep, suddenly got up and hugged him from behind. Without pulling the edge of the bed, the two men who had just entered and exited the general's mansion unexpectedly fell out of the bed together.

Xie Linze originally wanted to scare him, but he didn't expect that he also fell down in embarrassment, knocked on the back of his waist, and then pulled to the root of his thigh, and immediately hissed in pain.

He opened his eyes to see how Xu Yan was doing, but the other party hadn't gotten up yet, the first thing he did was to turn around to see how he was doing, and then he carried him from the floor back to the bed.

Looking at each other, Xu Yan showed a helpless sense of humor, "What are you doing?"

"I just..." Xie Linze thought for a few breaths and was at a loss for words, and he just followed his heart and opened his arms to hug him, "I just want to hug you."

Xu Yan was startled, and then the smile on his face gradually enlarged, and the depression accumulated in his heart just now was swept away, and he also put his arms around the man, and whispered in his ear: "Why, did you do something bad again? ? Or are you waiting for me to help you cook tomorrow's meal?"
