The branch touched Nie Yunhan's throat, he blocked his neck, rolled his eyes, raised his hands, and said with a sneer, "Master Commander, Master Zhuo, I was wrong."

The jailer came over and raised his leg to kick him in the hollow of his knee. Nie Yunhan knelt down with a "plop", turned his head and smiled at the jailer, "I'll do it myself!"

A small official next to him picked up Zhuo Yingxian's saber and handed it to him humbly.

Zhuo Yingxian's face was reddish, he hung up the saber, and said in a leisurely manner: "It's okay, it's just a contest, now that Nie Qianhu's skills are still strong, I think he has not let go of his efforts, Zhuo is relieved."

Song Mingchong bowed again and again: "Lord Xie Zhuo is magnanimous, and he doesn't care about Shuzi."

Zhuo Yingxian nodded slightly: "Master Commander, the matter is urgent, I hope Nie Qianhu can pack up quickly so that we can get on the road as soon as possible."

"I'm still Deputy Qianhu?" Nie Yunhan's eyes lit up even more after hearing Zhuo Yingxian address him twice, and he knelt up to Song Mingchong excitedly, grabbing the hem of his robe, "Where's the salary for the past two years? Am I saving it?"

Song Mingchong was a little embarrassed by his unpromising appearance, and gave Zhuo Yingxian an embarrassed look. The latter turned his head and pretended nothing happened, and coughed lightly with his fists on his lips.

"Take it down quickly and wash it up!" Song Mingchong waved his hand, and the two guards came up to support Nie Yunhan and ran away.

Nie Yunhan struggled non-stop, his two long legs dragging crooked marks on the ground.

"Master Commander! Where is all my money?!"

"This person has a wild and unruly personality, which made Mr. Zhuo laugh at him." Song Mingchong cupped his hands at Zhuo Yingxian in embarrassment, "Please sit in the hall, sir, and I will explain the situation to him when I go to explain the situation to him."

Zhuo Yingxian replied: "The weather is fine, I'll just wait here."

In a guard room next to the prison, Nie Yunhan was so refreshed after taking a bath. He stayed in the water for a long time without coming out, and the surface of the water was bubbling and bubbling, which scared two little officials to come over nervously to look at it.

Unexpectedly, Nie Yunhan came out of the bucket with a "boom", splashing water everywhere, and pouring water in his hands, pouring the two people into drowning chickens, watching them laughing.

The two little officials looked at each other, not daring to offend the old man, and silently wiped their faces.

Across the temporarily hung gauze curtain, Song Ming rushed back and forth with his hands behind his back, frowning and pacing back and forth.

"Is it enough? Master Zhuo is waiting outside!"

Nie Yunhan sat back in the water in a leisurely manner, and wiped his body with a cloth towel: "Let him wait, I'm already smelling, so I have to wash it well."

"After the agreement was signed, the people of Duyu lived in peace for two years, but some colleagues thought that they were resting and recuperating, and Xu Tu planned later. This time they suddenly appeared in our Dayao territory, and they must be planning something." Song Mingchong put his hands behind his back, He said earnestly, "The one who knows the Duyu people best is the 'red boa'. This time the emperor sent Tie Hewei to take you out and let you perform crimes and meritorious deeds. His attitude has been very clear."

"He had someone interrogate me for two years, but he didn't get the shit out of the interrogation. Now he wants me to take someone to investigate Duyu's secret work. Doesn't this prove that we are all right? This old emperor, let him say everything." Nie Yunhan picked up the water to wash his face, and lazily said, "The 'red boa' is gone, you can ask him to hire Gao Ming, if not, I'm fine with putting me back in prison, I didn't give my adoptive father an explanation, don't Count on me to work for the court!"

"You—" Song Ming rushed in with the curtain lifted angrily, "Do you dare to resist the order? Master Zhuo is waiting outside!" , a fool can choose, you won't?!"

Nie Yunhan continued to rub against his body with a cloth towel, and said with a sneer, "That one? Commander, your eye disease has worsened, this person..."

When he said this, he suddenly stopped, did not continue, rolled his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

But Song Mingchong interrupted him almost at the same moment, not paying attention to his expression.

"Nie Yunhan, don't be stupid! It's okay that there is no conclusion on the Guanshan matter. It's just that the 'Red Boa' was disbanded. Your rank and rewards are still there. Don't you want to make things big and make them ransack the family?! How about Find another way!" He pressed the edge of the barrel, leaned down, and said softly to Nie Yunhan, "I tell you, the leader of this group of people working in Dayao is your old opponent Haqin! Those ten people back then Erliansuo has nothing to do with him, if you want to prove Guan Shan's innocence, this is a chance to kill two birds with one stone!"

Nie Yunhan looked at him, his expression became solemn, his dark eyes overflowed with chills, and the knuckles of the hand holding the edge of the barrel turned white from the force.

At noon, the sun became scorching, Zhuo Yingxian stood under the eaves of the house and waited, his expression still indifferent.

The little official next to him asked him from time to time if he wanted to rest in the side hall or if he wanted to have tea, but he refused them all.

When Nie Yunhan came out, what he saw was his figure as bright as a jade tree, and the crimson official robe seemed to be more dense under the sunlight, like a flaming glow.

He squinted his eyes, as if he was a little afraid of such a scorching color.

Zhuo Yingxian turned around and saw that he had changed his face, as if he didn't recognize him, he was slightly startled, then nodded at him.

Nie Yunhan tied his messy hair high and tied it into a bun, looking neat and capable. He changed into a black robe, which lined his burly shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, as if two years in prison had left him nothing but A slightly pale face, everything else is perfect.

Especially those deep socket eyes, double eyelids, slender eye ends, slightly raised, lined with thick eyebrows and high nose bridge, it looks more profound, as if it can see through people's hearts.

This man suppressed the murderous aura all over his body, leaving only a little in his eyes, which was covered up in just a moment, and his eyes were replaced by a smile.

Seeing Zhuo Yingxian's inquiring gaze, Nie Yunhan walked up to him with arms folded, and raised his eyebrows triumphantly: "Lord Zhuo, am I handsome?"

Zhuo Yingxian put his hands behind his back, without looking sideways: "Nie Qianhu, please respect yourself."

Nie Yunhan smiled silently, and walked out with long legs, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Zhuo Ying followed quickly.

Nie Yunhan said as he walked: "Isn't your emperor's order that the commander respond to my requests? I don't ask much, old subordinates, old equipment."

"Old subordinate? How many people?"

"Four of us." Nie Yunhan gave him a half-smile, "Your Excellency, are you worried about us going up against you?"

"You have to have that ability." Zhuo Ying said coldly with a straight face, strode past Nie Yunhan and left the courtyard gate.

He took two steps, and seeing that Nie Yunhan didn't follow, he frowned and turned his head to look, only to see the shapeless man leaning against the gate, arms folded, smiling like a jerk.

Nie Yunhan looked at Zhuo Ying's stern face, and joked, "Master Zhuo, do you know where to find it?"

Zhuo Yingxian really wanted to chop off this person's dog's head.

Naturally, he is very clear about the great achievements of the "red boa". The related scripts and storytelling books are familiar to the general public, and Zhuo Yingxian has naturally read many of them.

From the bottom of his heart, he also respects such a group of righteous men who go through life and death for the country.

It's just that I didn't expect that the well-known Nie Yunhan was such a person, three sentences when meeting each other, and two sentences were flirtatious.It's far from the image of an angry man with awe-inspiring righteousness in the script.

Zhuo Yingxian turned his head and glanced at that person, suppressed his complaints, but frowned, and said loudly: "Nie Qianhu please lead the way. The mission is urgent, we must not delay."

Nie Yunhan walked towards Zhuo Ying, stared at his face with deep eyes for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Master Zhuo, you are Geng this year? His face is very tender."

But he didn't intend to wait for the other party's answer, he yawned lazily and walked forward, casually said: "Don't hold it like this when you are young, how tired you are."

Zhuo Yingxian was being educated for no reason, and with a look of "None of your business", he quickly followed him.

The streets of Tangzhoufu City were filled with pedestrians, and there were many shops on both sides of the road. Nie Yunhan walked slowly while looking around, with a very carefree attitude, as if he was not going to do business, but to go shopping.

Zhuo Yingxian walked side by side with him, and couldn't help asking: "I wonder where Nie Qianhu is going to get the equipment? Why don't you act quickly. What are these equipments? If it's not necessary, it's best not to carry too much..."

Nie Yunhan stretched his neck and looked into the distance, with a surprised smile on his face, he interrupted: "Great, it's still there!"

It was a food stall, he strode over, Dama Jindao sat down at the table: "Lord Zhuo, I haven't eaten since morning, I'm so hungry, I have to fill my stomach. The equipment is in the Fuwei warehouse, Song Dynasty Your Excellency has given you a warrant, and you can just go and get it when the time comes. Those are our 'Red Boa' sharp weapons, they have their own uses and must be carried, please forgive me."

Although it was a bit baffling, Zhuo Yingxian felt that what he said seemed to make sense, so he had to sit down with him.

Prison food was really unpalatable. Now that he was rescued, Nie Yunhan ordered two bowls of wontons, two bowls of mutton noodles, and three sesame seed cakes. Later, he told the proprietress that he would bring thirty sesame seed cakes and five catties of sauce. The beef is on the road, let her pack it first, and send someone to pick it up later.

Zhuo Yingxian was busy with other things and didn't feel hungry, but couldn't bear Nie Yunhan's persuasion while sucking on the noodles, so he swallowed and ordered a bowl of mutton noodles.

The fragrant mutton is served with chili oil refined from mutton fat. Zhuo Yingxian raised his eyebrows at the first bite.

Nie Yunhan observed his expression, and was very proud at the moment: "How about it, I recommend it well, right? The mutton noodles here are famous far and wide, and many people from other places come here admiringly. Go out dozens of numbers."

"It's really delicious." Zhuo Ying said calmly, he ate slowly and carefully, not like Nie Yunhan was so voracious.

"Do you seldom eat this kind of street food? You're used to rich food all day long, so once in a while, it's definitely fresh." Nie Yunhan was eating something in his mouth, and didn't delay his speech: "Master Zhuo has just been on a job? This year Gui Geng ?”

"Two out of twenty."

"Tsk, you are really young. When we first met, I thought I was only eighteen." Nie Yunhan looked at Zhuo Yingxian's cheeks that were slightly flushed from eating chili, and smiled.

Zhuo Yingxian ignored him, always felt that he asked so many questions, it seemed that he was just chatting, but it was really a prying, so he became more cautious.

"I'm 25 years old. I'm three years older than you. I'm not as good as our brother?" Nie Yunhan raised his hand to wipe off the sweat on his forehead, and looked at him with a smile. It's really awkward, anyway, we have to be together from birth to death, and it can be regarded as a life-and-death friendship, so don't be so alien?"

He kicked Zhuo Yingxian's boots with a playful smile, his eyes sparkling: "Don't call me Nie Qianhu, why don't you call me brother?"

The blood vessels in Zhuo Yingxian's temples twitched twice, wanting to splash the bowl of noodles in front of him on the disciple's face.

"Nie Qianhu, I've been in prison for two years. It doesn't matter if you get sick, but don't go to the wrong person." Zhuo Yingxian put down his chopsticks and took out a cloth towel from his pocket to wipe his mouth. Walk."

Nie Yunhan took a fixed look at him, took a bite of sesame seed cakes and chewed slowly, and after swallowing, he smiled and said, "Xie Xiandi is concerned."

"Does Nie Qianhu have any family members here?" Zhuo Yingxian automatically ignored his address, intending to lead the conversation so as not to be distracted by him, "Do you need to go home and see?"

"Inquire about my brother's private affairs?" Nie Yunhan smiled, his brows and eyes curved, "Our red anatomy is in the water and fire, maybe one day our life will be gone, why bother to harm a good family. To tell you the truth, I don't want to do this either. .”

His last sentence was meaningful, with a mysterious expression, "I have an idea, come and ask me."

Zhuo Yingxian followed good practices like a stream: "I don't know where your aspirations lie?"

"If there is a day when I am disarmed and returned to the fields, I will come to this stall, buy out the boss's exclusive secret recipe, open the shop all over the world, and maybe even go to the capital. At that time, you must come to join us, Ah Xian. !" Nie Yunhan spoke excitedly, and turned around to shout at the proprietress, "Auntie, how much is your family's secret recipe willing to sell?!"

The proprietress was meeting with each other. Hearing his yelling, she smiled and said: "Others come to buy, and the price will not be exchanged. Nie Qianhu, you buy it, and you can give it to you!"

"It's a deal!" Nie Yunhan raised the remaining half of the biscuit to the proprietress, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth.

Looking at his bold and hearty smile and those white teeth, Zhuo Yingxian somehow felt better.

Nie Yunhan picked up the bowl, drank the noodle soup all at once, wiped his mouth, looked at Zhuo Yingxian, and suddenly said in a begging tone: "Master Zhuo, don't be surprised, I was joking just now If the matter is not completed this time, I will naturally have to raise my head to see it. If it is completed, will I be able to ignore the safety of the border from now on? Idiots dreaming, don't tell the emperor."

After hearing this, Zhuo Yingxian had a strange look on his face, as if he didn't know what to reply.

"Take this dream as hope!" Nie Yunhan stood up, knocked on the table, and raised an eyebrow at him, "Pay."

Zhuo Yingxian was taken aback again, and looked up at him.

"I just got out of prison, my pockets are cleaner than my face, of course you pay." Seeing his blank face, Nie Yunhan couldn't help reaching out and pinching his cheeks, "Why are you so cute."

Zhuo Yingxian's face turned red visibly: "!"

The two left the food stall, Nie Yunhan turned to look at Zhuo Yingxian, and suddenly smiled again.

Zhuo Yingxian became angry from embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "What are you laughing at?! If you try again, I will..."

"Ah Xian, you came all the way from the capital to mention me, how come you don't even know how old I am?" Nie Yunhan's voice was not loud, almost whispering, "Isn't my life recorded?"

Zhuo Yingxian's heart was shocked, and he turned to look at him.

But Nie Yunhan only slightly hooked his lips, turned around and walked forward, thinking: The boy is still too young!

According to Song Mingchong's warrant, they entered the warehouse of the Fuwei, all the way was unimpeded, and after passing several checkpoints, the two entered a warehouse at the deepest part of the yard. The guard unlocked it and let them in.

The door of the room was pushed open with a "squeak", and the dust and pungent musty smell came to the face. Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian blocked their mouths and noses at the same time.

Nie Yunhan went in anxiously, searched along the shelves, and finally found the two large camphor boxes he was looking for in the corner.

There is a seal on the box, and after two years, the ink has faded a bit.He broke the seal and opened the lid to check.

The warehouse was dimly lit and dusty.Zhuo Yingxian stood aside and couldn't see clearly, he could only see the blackness in the box, and he was too embarrassed to ask, so he forced his curiosity down.

"Drag them out one by one." Nie Yunhan turned his head and glanced at Zhuo Yingxian's thin figure, and teased, "Can you drag it?"

Zhuo Ying didn't bother to pay attention to him, bent down and pulled up the iron ring on the box, and easily dragged it into the yard.

Nie Yunhan laughed lightly, followed closely, and after marking on the album brought by the guard, he opened the two boxes together.

Zhuo Yingxian looked around and saw many black cloth bags neatly stacked in the box. The items in the bag were about one foot wide and two feet long, about half a foot high, square and square, like a small box.

Nie Yunhan squatted in front of the box, and carefully opened one of the cloth bags, revealing the iron box inside.

There are strange-shaped devices stacked in this iron box, like steel, stacked one by one, carved into the shape of a feather, and painted with black ink on the surface, but it can be seen from the partially faded place that it should have been silver Yes, the texture is fine and smooth, with a lustrous luster.

Zhuo Ying couldn't help stretching out his hand, and touched it curiously: "What is this? Is it iron?"

"If it were pure iron, you wouldn't be able to drag this box." Seeing that the thing was intact, Nie Yunhan put down a big stone in his heart and smiled very happily. "This kind of thing is called pearl iron, because its original color is as beautiful as pearls. , but most were painted black for concealment."

"Pearl iron? The name is appropriate." Zhuo Yingxian touched the feather-like pattern, "Why does it look like wings?"

Nie Yunhan proudly said: "This is the special equipment of my 'Red Boa', the masterpiece of my adoptive father. The box next to it is filled with 'gills', which allow people to dive underwater to detect the enemy without worrying about drowning. One box, as you can see, is 'wings'."

"Wings?" Zhuo Yingxian was startled, and he was even more puzzled, as if he forgot to put on his official airs, he opened his cat-like round eyes and looked at Nie Yunhan, "What do you do?"

Looking at his innocent expression, Nie Yunhan felt as if a little paw was scratching in his heart. He put the things in his hand back on purpose, put them back into the cloth bag, closed the lid of the box, and stood up.

Zhuo Yingxian's curiosity overcame everything, and he chased him to his feet: "What is it for?"

"Yes..." Nie Yunhan was about to speak when he heard a noise from outside the wall, as if he was chasing someone.

"Don't let him run away, chase after him!"

"It looks like it's going in the direction of 'Snake's Nest', don't lose it!"

"Damn it, Duyu Xizuo who was just caught, if he is allowed to run away, everyone will be overwhelmed!"

Hearing the word "Snake's Nest" first, Nie Yunhan's expression turned serious, and then hearing the word "Duyu Xizuo", his expression changed immediately, he carried the cloth bag on his back, and snatched the bag next to him with a "shua". The guard's knife rushed out like a whirlwind!

He was so good at lightness, he jumped onto the courtyard wall by the side of the road lightly, and moved far away in an instant as if his feet were not touching the ground. Seeing the figure who was desperately running away, his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Zhuo Yingxian followed quickly, but he disappeared after chasing him, so he panicked at the moment.

Nie Yunhan knew the layout of Tangzhou Mansion City very well, especially the "snake nest", he was even more familiar with it, but after making a rough judgment, he quickly took a shortcut and chased along the courtyard walls and eaves.

When Zhuo Yingxian caught up with other people, besides seeing Nie Yunhan chasing the thief, he also saw two men and a woman, who seemed to have a tacit understanding with Nie Yunhan, outflanking him from the other two sides.

The thief ran into a dead end in a panic, and at the end of the alley was a huge house with a dilapidated appearance, as if no one had taken care of it for a long time.

The yard was rather strange, the center was a large open space, and in the center of the open space was a very tall iron pole, about five feet wide and six to seven feet high.There is a circle of houses around the open space, big and small, and in different shapes, there are seven or eight.

The thief really had nowhere to go, so he stopped at the gate of the enclosure panting, looked back at Nie Yunhan and the others, and jumped into the yard helplessly.

Nie Yunhan chased to the gate of the courtyard, looked at the other three people, and said with a smile: "Brother Zuo, Sister Feng, and Master Dai, why don't we open the 'ghost' and let him see it?!"

The faces of the three people were full of excitement. The woman called "Sister Feng" looked at Nie Yunhan and kicked the stone protruding from the weed pile with a "bang": "Success, just do it!" When celebrating your freedom, play with him!"

I don't know what mechanism she touched, Zhuo Yingxian chased it closer, and saw a loud "creaking" noise in the courtyard, and a circle of silver petals rose suddenly from the courtyard wall close to the wall. huge leaves.

Those leaves are made of metal, tall and thick, with various patterns on the inside. Looking from a distance, they look like a huge lotus flower.

After blooming to the extreme, the leaves quickly closed to the center, and the tips converged on the top of the iron pillar in the courtyard, enclosing the entire courtyard as a whole!
