On another day, on a wide street, a group of chariots and horses came in a majestic manner, showing their majesty.

Relying on the obedience, the front and the back are clustered, the cars are linked, the flags are waved, and the following is a drum band, banging and beating along the way. Pedestrians on both sides retreated, but when they saw this rare scene, they still crowded the roadside and kept pointing.

The one sitting in the big red soft sedan chair should be the inspector...... In a remote alley, Bi Tao's whole body was wrapped in a set of black clothes and tight hoods, and he cautiously poked his head out and looked out.

Dressed like this, it was to avoid the pursuit of everyone in the Nine Shadows Palace. Although it is very likely that he will be considered an assassin by the patrol team...... Now there is no other way.

Near, closer...... Bi Tao counted silently in his heart, and when the inspection made the adults come to the end of the street, he rushed out to shout injustice!

Seeing the convoy approaching, Bi Tao's heartbeat became faster and faster. But just as he was about to rush out of the alley, a strong force suddenly pressed on his shoulder.

"Where else do you want to run?" A cold and sticky voice like a poisonous snake sounded in his ears, and a yin and evil aura also suddenly soared, filling the entire narrow alley, "Even if you dress up like this, we know you!"

Bi Tao turned around suddenly, and what caught his eye was the Nine Shadows Holy Envoys who had been chasing him all the way.

As soon as the dazzling smile entered his eyes, Bi Tao reacted quickly, and immediately turned his palm into a knife, and a layer of spiritual power was wrapped around the edge of his palm, slashing towards those people.

"Die, you are the one His Holiness personally ordered to be killed. Several Nine Shadow Holy Envoys fought back unhurriedly, still sneering during the battle, "Your life, we are determined!"

The convoy continued to move forward, and the inspection in the sedan car made the formal wear sit upright, close his eyes and recuperate, and his body swayed slightly with the swaying of the sedan chair. The guards of honor around looked calm. In the places where the royal family has always passed, the people have consciously retreated, and they have also enjoyed their majesty. When this errand is over, you can return to the Heavenly Saint Kingdom and eat and drink spicy food.

But just when everyone was a little slack, suddenly, a powerful spiritual power fluctuation suddenly erupted in the adjacent low alley, and then I saw several black-clothed people standing up in unison, holding blades, stepping on the void, and rushing straight towards the sedan chair.

"Who is it? there are assassins! Protect your lord!" the accompanying guards hurriedly drew their long knives and protected them in front of the sedan chair.

The first man in black rushed the fastest, and as soon as he landed, he knelt down, and cried out in a sad voice:

"My lord, I have a grievance, my lord——!"

The guards still didn't dare to let their guard down, and the bright sword light shrouded him.

Just as the tension was raging, a dry cough suddenly sounded in the sedan chair.

"Stop the car. ”

An old but majestic voice sounded, and then, under Bi Tao's nervous gaze, the sedan curtain was lifted by a big hand, and a middle-aged official with a dignified face and a neat short beard poked his head out of the sedan chair.

"What do you have to play?"

Before Bi Tao could answer, the pursuers in the rear had already followed. These people neither saluted the royal team, nor did they give an explanation, they raised their weapons on their own, and their spiritual power surged, and they slashed at Bi Tao in the air.

"Who dares to mess around here?" shouted the guards, "stop them!"

Those Nine Shadow Saints made their bodies flexible, and they easily moved around the group of guards to dodge. The first person shot several times in succession, quickly knocked down a few guards, and then jumped vertically, with his feet left and right, and stepped firmly on the knives sharpened by the guards.

"Are you a Heavenly Saint official?" the Nine Shadows Saint Envoy smiled coldly, raised his hand, and held a black lacquer token in his palm, "The affairs of the Nine Shadows Palace, it is best for you to take care of them." ”

Although Bi Tao was kneeling on the ground, his eyes were always fixed on the patrol envoy. If he decides to hand himself over here for the sake of self-preservation, then ask him to help him and make up his own mind about meeting with the elders of Tianxiao Pavilion.

The three parties were at a stalemate for a long time, and the patrol envoy smiled faintly, raised his head and looked at the arrogant Nine Shadows Holy Envoy, with an attitude that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"The Heavenly Saint Imperial Family and the Nine Secluded Palaces have always been well water that does not interfere with river water. This official will never offend others lightly, but he also cannot tolerate the other party to invade me. ”

"This strong man," he stretched his palm to Bi Tao, "there is something important to report to this official, and that is the matter between the Heavenly Saint Imperial Family and him." Before our matter is resolved, the Nine Shadows Palace wants to arrest him, and please sell the Heavenly Saint Royal Family a face, and postpone the discussion. ”

The other party did not show weakness, but intended to participate in this matter. If you really do it here, the other party is a royal official after all, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy to finish. A Nine Shadows Holy Envoy pondered for a long time and asked a person beside him, "What do you think?"

The Nine Shadows Holy Envoy, who was questioned by him, glared at Bi Tao with some unwillingness, and his gaze swept over the face of the patrol envoy fiercely, holding back his anger, and said in a deep voice:

"His Holiness also means that we should not have many conflicts with unrelated people. The hall master didn't want to alarm the master of the Heavenly Palace, and it was better to have more than one thing. ”

"Yes, they are going to the Heavenly Saint Country, and there are more opportunities to do it along the way. Another Nine Shadows Holy Envoy also chimed in, "They can protect him for a while, but they can't protect him for a lifetime after all." ”

The Nine Shadows Holy Envoy who had shouted earlier had already made a plan after listening to what his companion said, slowly put away the token, raised his head and said, "Okay, then we will give you a face today." But you better remember that there are some things you can manage, but there are some things you can't manage!"

After a few cruel words, the figures of these people turned into streamers and disappeared without a trace.

……

Later, inside a mansion.

This is the official office of the country to entertain the inspection envoys. A small country like them, facing the Heavenly Saint officials, naturally has to stammer. I hope to build a good relationship and get some benefits from them in the future.

However, the inspector was notoriously honest and honest, and all the gifts they sent were returned. At first, the prefect thought that the inspector was just "making a show in front of outsiders", or that they were giving fewer gifts, so he specially got another box of gold, silver and jewelry, and secretly sent it to the inspector's mansion overnight.

Who knows, the inspectors were furious, denouncing them for not being impartial officials, and specializing in these crooked ways. After he left, a diplomatic letter was sent to the royal family of the country, claiming that the prefect of a certain county bribed the envoys with bad intentions, and presumably the common people were also fish and flesh on weekdays, which caused the monarch to be furious and ordered the dismissal of the prefect.

As a result, the newly appointed official knew the lesson and knew that this adult did not like this set, so why bother to be thankless. Every time he came again, the entire government from top to bottom tried its best to show a simple appearance. Even the mansion where he lived temporarily was no longer as poor and extravagant as it once was.

A few days ago, this lord had already finished his parade and was about to leave for the Heavenly Saint to report on his work. Unexpectedly, when they were about to leave the city, there were people shouting grievances in the street, and the inspector paid attention to this matter, and took the man back to the mansion to inquire carefully.

The people in the government couldn't hear what they were talking about, and they were all frightened, for fear that the person would come to sue them. This also made them grit their teeth and secretly made up their minds that in the future, when there are any more superiors about visiting, martial law will definitely be implemented in the whole city, and those onlookers will all be replaced by their own people, and they don't believe that anyone can make any more trouble!

"If that's the case, this document is indeed related to the current situation in the world...... "After Bi Tao recounted the details, the inspector sighed deeply and said movingly, "This official has also played the imperial court many times, hoping that the Heavenly Saint Imperial Family can protest against the evil deeds of the Nine Shadows Palace, but unfortunately, the lord of the country seems to be unwilling to get involved in this trouble......"

"However, now that they have conclusive evidence of their crimes, things are much easier, you can leave it to me, and this official promises that it will be delivered for you!"

Bi Tao shook his head: "No...... The stakes are important, and I still want to deliver it in person. I just want my adults to be able to introduce me on my behalf!"

Beside the patrol envoy, a white-clothed young man standing with a thoughtful appearance immediately sank his face: "What do you mean, you can't trust us?"

The inspector waved his hand: "Wang'er, don't be rude." It is quite valuable to be vigilant at all times, and you have to learn more from this young hero. ”

"Little friend, you're right. Then, he turned to Bi Tao again, "After all, you have collected all this evidence with all your hard work, and it is inconvenient for this official to swallow up your credit." In this way, this official is about to leave for the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, so you can pretend to be my retinue, follow the team, and walk with us. ”

"There are a few elders in Tianxiao Pavilion who are my friends, and I will also contact them as soon as possible, hoping that they can send someone to answer them in front of the border. ”

"By the way, let me introduce you," the inspector said, gesturing to the white-clothed young man, "This is my righteous son Du Wang, known as the 'White Horse Swordsman'." He has been with me since I was very young, and he is my personal bodyguard every time I go on patrol. In the future, you will have to take care of each other, so let's say hello now. ”

Bi Tao happily stretched out his hand to him: "Brother Du!"

The white-clothed young man Du Wang frowned, shook his hand a little reluctantly, and just nodded slightly: "Brother Bi." ”

The inspector looked at the two of them, nodded and smiled in satisfaction.

In the evening.

Bi Tao is practicing swords in the courtyard, the sword light is Huohuo, the body is like a dragon, the sword is soaring, and the sunset is reflected. It's good-looking.

Du Wang stood on the long steps, observed for a moment, walked over with great strides, and said lightly: "Brother Bi, you are working very hard." ”

As soon as Bi Tao saw that it was him, he also collected his sword momentum, and said with his head bowed: "If you go to the Heavenly Saint Kingdom, the people of the Nine Shadows Hall will definitely come to chase and kill again, it is unrealistic to always count on foreign aid, so your own strength must be trained well." ”

Du Wang pulled the corners of his mouth casually, noncommittal. Bi Tao then said: "By the way, I heard what the inspector said, and I feel that the relationship between Brother Du and the adult is very similar to me and my father-in-law. It's really rare not to be a father and son, but to be like a father and son. ”

This time, Du Wang sneered: "Yes, it's good that you can understand." Therefore, I will definitely protect the adult and not let some unknown people bring danger to him!"

"Is Brother Du referring to me?" Bi Tao is also an understanding person, and when he heard him say this, he immediately understood.

Du Wang didn't deny it, and pulled out the long sword with a "swish", pointing directly at the tip of Bi Tao's nose.

"The mouth can deceive, but kung fu will not deceive. Forgive me for taking the liberty of trying to compete with Brother Bi for a few tricks. Whether it's a righteous gentleman or a treacherous villain, you'll know with a try!"

Bi Tao knew that this was a must-fight, so without much hesitation, he replied: "I also want to learn Brother Du's tricks!"

Du Wang hugged his sword and arched his hand: "Please!"

The two showed their strengths and fought in one place. The cultivation of both sides is unique, and they fight with all their might, and it is difficult to solve for a while. In the end, the figures of the two of them were no longer visible, only the vast energy fluctuations, surging and agitating in this courtyard.

After an hour, the two of them stopped sweating profusely.

The trace of gloom in Du Wang's eyes had now completely receded, he looked at Bi Tao, and laughed loudly: "Happy! It's been a long time since anyone can let me fight so happily! Brother Bi, you're a friend, I'm done!"

Bi Tao also admired his temperament, and said with a smile: "The next thing is still second, but Brother Du's suspicion of me has been eliminated now?"

Du Wanglang laughed and said: "I said a long time ago that kung fu will not deceive people. Brother Bi's moves, open and close, have a majestic aura, if it weren't for a true gentleman with a fair mind, he wouldn't be able to perform such a swordsmanship. Brother Bi, I was reckless before, so I'll make amends to you!"

"To be honest, I have a lot of admiration for Brother Bi. The two of them didn't fight or make a deal, took away the long sword, and sat down under the stairs together to enjoy the shade, Du Wang also said the truth, "A long time ago, I wanted to do a great career, but unfortunately, I am also a layman, and I regret my life in the end." Now that I meet Brother Bi, my spirit of sacrificing your life to protect justice and forgetting your death shocked me very much. I don't think I can do anything anymore. You and my brother, just risk your life and have a fight with him in the Nine Shadows Palace!"

"Risking your life, but keeping your life. Bi Tao pressed his shoulder, "We are not careless, I have a father-in-law, you have an inspector, while working hard, we must also think more about those who care about us." ”

People who care about themselves...... Is it?

In Bi Tao's mind, a vague shadow flashed. But soon, he shook his head again.

When it is a big thing, how can you be disturbed by the love of your children.

A quiet night a few days later.

The patrol has calculated that there will be heavy rain on this night, and visibility will be significantly reduced. Brave the rain to move forward, although it is a little harder, but it can also stop the pursuers of the Nine Shadows Palace.

Moreover, they have replaced the conspicuous chariot with a horse-drawn carriage, precisely to avoid attracting attention.

In the vast rain curtain, Bi Tao's gaze looked at the corner of the town with some nostalgia.

The girl hadn't had time to say thank you to her before she could say thank you.

I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again in this life.

"Brother Bi, it's time to go. Du Wang held the umbrella and walked to Bi Tao's side. Looking at his appearance, he knew that he was afraid that there was someone else who couldn't let go of him here, and most of them were women.

Bi Tao was silent for a long time, sighed and took the umbrella, and was about to turn around and get into the carriage.

Suddenly, an urgent call came from far and near.

"Brother Bi!"

A petite figure was hurrying from the other end of the alley.

She was wearing only a thin single dress, and by this time she was soaked in the rain, her hair was drenched and clinging to her shoulders, and her eyes narrowed into a slit in the rain. But when his eyes caught Bi Tao, a flash of bright color flashed in his eyes.

Bi Tao also looked at her in a daze, and the rain hit them with a bang, but at this time, in the eyes of the two, only each other was left.

His lips twitched, and he called out the name in disbelief.

"Yue'er ......"
