Omi had to sit up

After a night of running around, the carriage finally entered the official road and headed for Nanfeng City along the official road.

Nanfeng City is the first city to the south of the capital. It is built on the plain, and the southern transportation hub spreads from here. It is a strategic gateway outside Beijing.

Due to time constraints, Chen Shu woke up after the official road entered the city, and took Jing Chu directly to the horse market in Nanfeng City.

Their horses have been running all night. If they want to continue to maintain the speed of yesterday, they need to replace them with a group of energetic horses to replace the horses that have been running all night.

After negotiating the price of the horse with the seller, Chen Shu directly took out the silver taels to pay in advance, and quickly put the harness on the newly bought horse.

While changing, he raised his eyes and glanced around, only to feel that his body was covered with eyes, some saw him looking up and quickly avoided, some saw him raising his eyes, but their eyes were more unscrupulously on Lin Chen He hesitated on his sparse face.

These people have more or less their own weapons in their hands, and they look like people from the Jianghu.

Last night, when Chen Shu was hunted down by the people from the Seven Star Sword Formation, he already realized that something was wrong, and now the existence of these people confirmed his previous guess.I'm afraid that in front of these people now, he is a key to Tian Xing Zang.

Chen Shu put on the reins silently.

Jing Chu also felt that the situation next to him was unusual, and she wanted to remind her aloud, but seeing Lin Chenshu's expression remained the same, she couldn't help but settle down, and got up to go forward to help.

At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

"Lord Lin." The man's voice sounded soft, and he spoke slowly, "I haven't seen you in half a year, are you all right?"

He called Lin Chenshu "Master Lin", which sounded like someone from the officialdom.

Chen Shu paused for a moment, then turned to look at the speaker, only to see a gentle-looking man smiling at him.This man looked to be about the same age as Lin Chenshu, and he was wearing a thin long robe, which looked quite expensive.

He was tall and thin, with a very handsome appearance, and his face was familiar to Chen Shu.

"Mu Tanhua?" Chen Shu asked in surprise.

The person who came was Mu Heng who was also among the top three Jinshi with him.

Chen Shu once learned from Li Ye that Mu Heng was the censor.The current imperial censor, surnamed Yan and named Jitang, is the auxiliary minister left behind by the late emperor, along with Qi Yanchu and Fang Shouqian.Qi Yan Chu is in charge of the army, Fang Shougan is in charge of the government, and Yan Jitang is in charge of the supervisory post, and each has its own faction in the court.

It's just that Yan Jitang is more than 20 years older than the previous two auxiliary ministers, and now he is seventy years old, sick all the year round, and rarely shows up in front of people.And it was Mu Heng who was supported by Yan Jitang all the way, he made great progress in Yushi Taichung, and soon became Yushi Zhongcheng, and many affairs in Taichung were handled by him.

But Yushitai's activities are basically in the capital, and because Xie Zhen supported Ting Wei after he came to power, people from Yushitai rarely appeared in front of people. How could they appear in Nanfeng City at this time?

Mu Heng saw Chen Shu's surprised expression, but he smiled slightly and said, "Master Lin still remembers the friendship we had with Jinshi. I wonder if you can show me your favor by moving to the restaurant inside?"

There happened to be a restaurant next to the horse market. Chen Shu glanced at it for a few times, and quickly frowned, showing refusal on his face: "Lord Mu, I have important matters to attend to."

"It seems that it is Mu's face that he can't invite Mr. Lin." Mu Heng laughed when he heard the words, but turned his eyes again, "I don't know how about Mr. Yushi's face?"

Chen Shu fastened the reins, then looked back at Mu Heng with a smile and said, "Your Majesty Yushi will naturally give you face, why don't you let Lin go back to the capital first, and then choose a day to visit Yushitai."

Mu Heng: "..."

Every time the second place in the same class said something that exceeded his expectations.

The corner of Mu Heng's mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to speak again, but he heard a cough from the restaurant next to the horse market, and then an old voice said: "Master Lin, the old man knows what you are thinking. That woman just overwhelmed you. Fang Shouqian's evidence is nothing more than evidence, but you are surrounded by enemies and cannot protect yourself, so you really don't intend to make a deal with the old man?"

Every time the old voice said a word, there was a sound of leaning on crutches, which was clearly transmitted to the ears of the people present. After the words, a thin figure appeared at the door of the restaurant.

Yan Jitang was not tall, with a slightly hunched back, his whole face was barely visible, with sunken cheeks and protruding jawbones.As soon as he appeared from the restaurant, people came out of the restaurant in a file. These people with weapons on their bodies surrounded Lin Chenshu's location in an instant.

The horse dealer who sold Chen Shu's horses obviously rarely encountered such a battle, so he hurriedly took the remaining horses to avoid it.Some of the quacks who were following Chen Shu were slightly taken aback when they saw this, but when they saw that the people who came were clearing the scene here and they were wearing the costumes of Yushitai, they had to retreat first.

Soon, there were only Chen Shu and Jing Chu left within a radius of ten zhang who were not Yushitai.

Jing Chu looked a little scared, and couldn't help but backed away, but was soon pulled behind by Chen Shu.

She was slightly taken aback, but saw that Lin Chenshu's not-so-tall body was already standing in front of her.

"What kind of deal is Master Yu Shi going to do?" Chen Shu pondered for a while, and finally asked.

Yan Jitang smiled slightly: "Does Lin Shaoqing really have the key to the Tianxing Zang on him? If so, how about giving it to me for safekeeping?"

"..." Yan Jitang came here for the key hidden by Tianxing.

Chen Shu looked at Yan Jitang's appearance, and suddenly felt a strange feeling, but said calmly on his face: "The key hidden by Tianxing? It turns out that Lord Yushi is so concerned about the affairs of Jianghu, but he doesn't know what to do with this key. What?"

"Why does Lin Shaoqing ask so many questions? You must know that the only one who can save your life in Nanfeng is my Yushitai." Yan Jitang laughed.

Nanfeng has become a gathering place for Jianghu people. Along the way, Chen Shu found that many people with strong martial arts were following him, but it was impossible for him to hand over the key of Tianxingzang to Yan Jitang.

——Tian Xingzang has already bred such undead monsters as An Yu, who is poisonous and poisonous.Hand over this key to Yan Jitang. This person holds a lot of power in his hands. If he also becomes a tormentor, it will definitely threaten Xie Zhen's status.

And at Yan Jitang's age, he probably went there for the rumor of immortality.

Thinking of this, Chen Shu sneered: "Master Yushi, there are rumors in the world that 'the one who wins the heavenly treasure wins the world', you Yushitai wants to get the key of the heavenly treasure from me, so maybe you also want to divide it from this world?" A cup of soup?"

"So what if it is, so what if it's not?" Unexpectedly, Lin Chenshu still showed no sign of letting go, Yan Jitang narrowed his eyes and said, "Lin Chenshu, you have to think clearly, you only have this chance."

His voice was no longer as calm as before. Chen Shu had heard it before, but he let out a cold snort of disdain. He firmly protected Jing Chu behind him, and his voice became firm: "Yan Jitang, I think very clearly, the key is mine. I won’t give it to you. Whether it’s you or Fang Shougan, want to rebel? Step over my dead body first!”

Yan Jitang's complexion changed.

Mu Heng, who was standing by the side, also changed his expression when he heard Lin Chenshu's conversation, and looked sideways at this second-in-command who was in the same rank as him.

Lin Chenshu still looks the same as before, but his complexion is much worse than when he was hunting in the hunting ground.At the beginning, Lin Bang watched every step of the way among the many Jinshi, with red lips and white teeth, looking forward to his appearance; now Lin Shaoqing is in charge of the gate alone, full of courage, showing several ruthlessness that ordinary people can't see.

He is obviously just a weak civil servant, and he is still such a miserable person in the capital.

Mu Heng heard an eagle howl, and couldn't help persuading: "Master Lin, why is he so foolish and loyal, how much you have done for the emperor, how much will the emperor give you?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Shu's mouth: "But I'm only loyal to him."

"..." Mu Heng looked at Chen Shu and was speechless.

When Yan Jitang heard the words, he sneered and said, "You don't eat a toast, you don't eat fine wine, do you think you can protect the emperor with someone like you?"

Chen Shu remained silent.

His attitude was clearly refusing to the end, Yan Jitang said mockingly: "I want to see if you can get out of Nanfeng City today."

As he spoke, he lightly rested his crutches and asked the people from Yushitai to withdraw and return to his side.

After the people from Yushitai left, the road returned to its original appearance, and the people from the rivers and lakes watching from a distance began to move around.

Yan Jitang looked at the people in the distance, his eyes were full of mockery: "Lin Chenshu, you asked for this."

Chen Shu calmly said nothing.

Yan Jitang sneered and turned around.

Seeing this, Mu Heng quickly stepped forward to help, and the two walked slowly away from their backs. Suddenly, Yan Jitang's footsteps stopped, but he laughed.

"Master Qin, it's up to you from now on," he said.

At this time, there was a sudden reply from the dark place on the roof of the restaurant, followed by a sudden gust of wind from the restaurant, accompanied by the thin sound of ding ding ding.

Chen Shu's six senses were sharp, and soon he saw six short arrows shooting straight at himself and Jing Chu from the height of the restaurant.

"Be careful!" Chen Shu narrowed his eyes and pupils, and quickly protected Jing Chu to escape, but he heard the sound of breaking through the air in the restaurant, and a blue figure came down through the air, with a silver sword flying by his waist, and whipped in midair Down.

This whip was not aimed at Lin Chenshu.

The whining sound of a horse suddenly sounded in Chen Shu's ear, and he turned his head quickly, only to see that the horse he had just bought from a horse dealer was whipped on the head by the man who appeared suddenly, and the white bones were exposed through the whip marks.

The horse struggled a few times and fell to the ground.

"Ah!" Jing Chu whispered, closing his eyes in fright.

Chen Shu hurriedly led her back a few steps, but saw a person falling from the mid-air. He was wearing a blue robe with silver chains dangling on his clothes, and a silver Sinan was tied at the end.He was about 40 years old, and he looked at Chen Shu with a half-smile in his eyes, as if he was looking at a prey that was about to catch him.

At the same time, several figures descended beside him, tightly surrounding Chen Shu and Jing Chu.

"Master Lin, I advise you to hand over the key obediently to avoid the pain of flesh and blood." The man in the robe raised his eyes and smiled slowly at Lin Chenshu, "If Master Lin doesn't cooperate, I'm sorry and I can only let you Try the interrogation method of Yunyue Pavilion in Fengzhong."

The Cloud and Moon Pavilion in the Wind? !Isn't that from the Qin family?

Chen Shu quickly looked at the robed man in front of him, but he heard the Buddha's name again.

"Pavilion Master Qin, I didn't expect you to make a move too." A calm voice came from the outfield, and a monk in cassock turned a Buddhist bead in his hand, step by step a lotus flower, "Benefactor Lin, Tianxingzang is the thing that caused bloody battles in the Jianghu, benefactor If you don't hand it over as soon as possible, let me wait to discuss a solution."

"Konghou, you're here too?" The man known as Pavilion Master Qin frowned, turned to look at the monk, and saw that the monk was followed by No. 30 Jianghu guest, all rushing towards Lin Chenshu .

At the same time, several figures came from the side, followed by a voice that Chen Shu felt very familiar with: "Haha, I have been looking for the key for so long, today I finally have hope. Lin Chenshu, hand over the key quickly!"
