Rebellious officials bow their heads

The shopkeeper couldn't help being shocked, and said with a trembling voice: "Don't kill me, Xuanzhi is in my arms..."

Ye Liuzhou came over, took out the box from his arms and opened it, there was indeed the Xuanzhi plant inside, and he threw the box to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan raised his hand to take it and let go of the shopkeeper.

As soon as the shopkeeper got rid of the shackles, he hurriedly said, "Master Xu! Wait, you can't..."

However, Xu Yan and Ye Liuzhou had already gone downstairs, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to pull him, so he followed him anxiously, and said with a sneer: "Mr. ..."

Xu Yan stopped and glanced at him: "No."

"What?" The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, "But it was agreed before..."

"Before is before." Xu Yan said, "You are well-informed here, but remember, don't say what you shouldn't say, or no one can keep your head."

The shopkeeper's face turned pale, but he chased after him otherwise.

Xu Yan stole someone's belongings, and with a calm face, he led Ye Liuzhou out of the door and left the dark alley. The carriage parked at the entrance of the alley had changed, the driver disappeared, and the originally exquisite and luxurious carriage It became a few dusty planks, laden with goods.

Xu Yan got on his horse and swung his whip to drive the horse and grain cart forward.

Ye Liuzhou sat on the edge of the wooden cart at the back, rummaged through the goods in the sack, some peanuts and cheap tea, and said with a smile: "Why do I feel that you steal it secretly every time? "

The box twirled around in Xu Yan's hand and put it in his arms, he said: "It's not like the time in the palace."

At this moment, the sky was already bright, and the early morning wind blew their robes, and the carriage passed slowly through the market. Ye Liuzhou smelled the aroma of food, moved his nose, and said, "I haven't eaten since morning, buy some food Bar."

Xu Yan didn't answer, just looked ahead and continued to drive.

"Buy the cheapest one, one copper." Ye Liuzhou tugged on his sleeve robe.

Xu Yan turned his head, pulled back his sleeve, and said, "If you pull it again, you can leave the city by yourself."

Ye Liuzhou could only retract his hand, and said with a hungry stomach, "You really lost your money."

He said: "At the beginning, why were you willing to exchange Feng Shan's posthumous work for that Xuanzhi plant?"

Xu Yandao: "I don't know anything about painting and calligraphy. It's useless except for money and things I need."

Ye Liuzhou laughed, "I know, you only like golden treasures."

He lay down on the sack and looked at the sky, "The shopkeeper in the dark alley knows you? Is it okay to let him go?"

"He didn't know me, but Bai..." Xu Yan stopped talking, and said in a low voice, "The city gate is coming soon."

Near the gate of the city, the people were crowded and bustling, both sides were full of forbidden soldiers holding spears, and Jin Yiwei from Beizhen Fusi shuttled through it, patrolling the passers-by.

Ye Liuzhou lowered his head and pulled down his bamboo hat.

In front of the gate, there were guards checking the customs clearance documents and carefully questioning the people's origins and household registrations. Suddenly there was a commotion, and a circle of people retreated. Only a bearded man was dragged out by the imperial army and thrown to the ground.

A tall general heard the movement, came over and asked, "What's going on?"

Seeing him, the imperial guards and guards around him saluted one after another, cupped their hands and said, "I've seen the commander."

The guard who was reviewing the documents stood up and said, "Master Cheng, this person forged official documents in order to get away with it."

Cheng Pei approached, took a careful look at the bearded man, and then said impatiently: "How courageous! Take him to prison for interrogation."

"Yes." Jin Yiwei immediately listened to the order and took the man away. The guard sat back next to the case, the people came in and out intermittently, and the city gate resumed its hustle and bustle.

Cheng Pei, dressed in armor and scales, stood aside, coldly scanning the people passing by, with an expression of irritability.As soon as he was promoted to be the commander of Beizhen Prefecture, there was a great chaos in the imperial palace. Tens of thousands of imperial troops lost their master under the noses, making the whole city strictly forbidden. He absolutely disapproved of unsealing the city gate before finding the person back, but it was impossible to make the reason public.

In a blink of an eye, he suddenly saw a carriage at the gate of the city, handing over documents, and the imperial guards were searching through the goods. If they found nothing unusual, they waved to the guards to let them go.

At this time, the man sitting behind the car put back on the bamboo hat that had been removed during the interrogation, and the exposed half of his face was instantly covered by the shadow.

Cheng Pei's pupils constricted immediately, and he stepped forward quickly, "Wait!"

When Ye Liuzhou heard the voice behind him, his heart skipped a beat. Knowing that something was wrong, he raised his head and saw Xu Yan driving the horse in front of him without any intention of turning back.

At that moment, all the noisy voices in his ears became hazy, Cheng Pei approached quickly, stretched out his hand, trying to grab Ye Liuzhou's shoulder...

Xu Yan's figure was at the junction of the city gate, half shadow and half light spot.

"Xu..." Ye Liuzhou opened his eyes slightly, reflecting his back.

Cheng Pei's hand was only a fraction away from his shoulder, and he tentatively said, "Your Majesty..."

"—Xu Yan!" Ye Liuzhou shouted loudly.

The next moment, Xu Yan turned around suddenly, and pulled out a Mo knife from the side of the carriage, and the sharp and bright blade instantly swept towards Cheng Pei's hand!

Cheng Pei withdrew his hand abruptly, narrowly dodging the sharp blade, if he was a step slower, all five of his fingers could be cut off by the Mo knife.

"You..." Cheng Pei looked at Xu Yan suspiciously, "How dare you?!"

Xu Yan didn't speak, he blocked Ye Liuzhou behind him, the slender Mo Dao was seven feet long, the blade was as smooth as snow, he held it effortlessly.

When the blow missed, Xu Yan turned the blade and swung it horizontally, forcing Cheng Pei back abruptly.

Cheng Pei didn't have time to draw out his sword, and stepped back a few steps. At this time, the surrounding defenders reacted and rushed up to take Xu Yan down.

The people hurriedly retreated, and the scene fell into chaos for a while, with screams and roars everywhere.

Among the crowd, Xu Yanchang stood upright, his expression unmoved.

As soon as Fang Fang Pei was about to draw his sword, a cold light flashed in front of him, and Xu Yan threw the Mo Dao out with his hand, and the point of the sword flying in mid-air pointed at Cheng Pei!

In an instant he dodged sideways, the Mo Dao narrowly scratched his neck, and pierced into the gap in his armor. Nailed to the stone wall!

Cheng Pei couldn't believe it, but it was not his turn to think about it. With a shake of his arm armor, he broke away from Mo Dao, drew his sword out of its sheath, and attacked Xu Yan.

At the same time, a circle of Imperial Guards and Jin Yiwei slashed weapons at the unarmed Xu Yan from all directions!
