Chapter 70: Internal Guard

A day later, Xiao Yi and the three of them rushed to Yuzhang City, found an inn to stay, and after waiting for a long time, at nightfall, Xiao Yi set off for Duan Zhang's house.

Xiao Yi quietly approached the Duan Mansion, Wei Chao had not come back yet, and the guards of the Duan Mansion had not yet discovered Xiao Yi's storage.

Duan Zhang is in the study at the moment, Wei Chao has been gone for a day, and there is still no news, this time the matter is very dangerous now. There is no time to regret it, all Duan Zhang's mind is thinking about how to survive now, there have been dangers like this in his more than ten years of official career, and Duan Zhang has not yet panicked.

Xiao Yi arrived, silently sneaked into the study, and a sign appeared on the desk in front of Duan Zhang's eyes so abruptly, and a voice interrupted his contemplation.

"Have you ever seen this sign?"

Duan Zhang was silent for a short time, calming down the sudden panic, and then looked at the sign on the desk, which looked like gold and not gold, and jade and not jade, with a flower, peony flower, and a small number "five" on the bud.

"I'm lucky to see it once!" Duan Zhang said after a moment of silence, without joy or sorrow, but with a deep sense of helplessness.

"That's good talking! I'm just here to ask you something!" Xiao Yi walked out of the shadows, and since the other party had already recognized this sign, it didn't matter if he let him see him.

"Hehe, dare to ask if the adult is asking with the identity of an official or a private person?" Duan Zhang was indeed a little surprised after reading the sign, but then calmed down again, and said such a sentence after hearing Xiao Yi's intention.

"What is the identity of the official family, and what is the identity of the private family?" Hearing Duan Zhang's words, Xiao Yi was a little stunned.

"With the identity of the official, then the lower official will say the words of the official, and with the identity of a private person, I will say the words of the private. Duan Zhang suddenly smiled when he said this, "The lower official has no personal relationship with the adult, and please show the edict from above!"

The meaning is obvious, since there is no personal relationship between the two of us, it can only be an official exchange, so naturally you need to show the edict from above first.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Xiao Yi is really confused now, what's the matter? I haven't come out for more than ten years, are the current officials all hard-headed? Xiao Yi saw that it was useless to take out the sign, so he had to use the worst street method.

"Hehe, it's not what it used to be, and the name of 'internal guard' doesn't scare me yet. Duan Zhang didn't have any emotional fluctuations because of Xiao Yi's threat.

"Heh, but now I'm not an 'internal guard', just a Jianghu person looking for friends!" Xiao Yi was born for too long, and he didn't expect that the tricks that had been tried and tested in the past were now useless, he shook his head self-deprecatingly, pulled out the long sword in his hand, and said to Duan Zhang.

Xiao Yi's actions also made Duan Zhang startled, the reason why he was so tough just now was because the other party took out the "internal guard" sign at the beginning, making it clear that he was going to take the road of the official's family, and Duan Zhang naturally responded with the same set of officialdom.

Just like Duan Zhang said, now is not what it used to be, the name of "internal guard" is indeed not as good as before, and moreover, for such a group of people, Duan Zhang, as a civil official, has a natural hostility, and it took more than ten years for civil officials to finally break these minions, so naturally he can't break the rules here with Duan Zhang, otherwise if it spreads, his official will be considered the end.

In the end, since the other party is following the style of officialdom, then Duan Zhang is naturally not afraid that he will be angry and kill, because he does not dare! If he kills Duan Zhang here today, tomorrow all the civil officials in the world will stand up together, carry Duan Zhang's spiritual position, and completely sweep this group of lawless guys into the dust of history. With such confidence, Duan Zhang naturally became tough.

But what Duan Zhang really didn't expect was that Xiao Yi, who was opposite him, had been in seclusion for more than ten years, and he didn't know anything about the civil officials and their battles over the years.

Duan Zhang was really a little panicked at this time, Wei Chao was not at home, and he really didn't have a way to deal with these people in the rivers and lakes. Duan Zhang is not really afraid of death, his tough and calm attitude is also based on victory, seeing that the other party really looks like he doesn't care, Duan Zhang has no choice but to say gloomily: "What do you want to ask?"

"What happened to Tang Yuan and his wife?" Xiao Yi was relieved when he saw Duan Zhang give in, killing such a crazy thing as the history of a county magistrate, Xiao Yi, who was born in the "internal guard", really couldn't do it.

"Tang Yuan, I really didn't expect a porcelain craftsman to have such a friend as an adult. Duan Zhang said this with a hint of happiness, if he had gotten the things and got rid of Tang Yuan's family, the adult in front of him would definitely not be as easy to talk as he is now.

"Yesterday, Xia Guan sent Wei Chao, the worshipper of the family, to protect Tang Yuan's family, but Wei Chao has not returned yet. Since the adults on the other side didn't ask themselves why they asked Tang Yuan to fire such porcelain, Duan Zhang naturally wouldn't say it clearly, could these things still be known to everyone in the world?

"Wei Chao, the Wei Chao who shook Hebei with the iron palm?" Xiao Yi asked, for these Jianghu people who did not accept Wang Hua but had unique skills, the corresponding files were naturally built in the "internal guard".

"Xia Guan doesn't know, but I've heard that Wei Chao has such a name. Duan Zhang said lightly.

"You said you wanted to save Tang Yuan, why did you want to save him?" Xiao Yi didn't dare to believe Duan Zhang's words casually, although Tang Yuan did involve two people, he was still not sure what role Duan Zhang played in it.

"Alas...... A few days ago, there was a treasure giver named Hou Ze in the house......" Duan Zhang saw that the other party didn't believe it, and sighed helplessly, so he had to tell the cause and effect of the whole thing, of course, he still hid the nobles in Beijing, and only said that he needed such a piece of porcelain.

"Are you saying that your housekeeper was killed, and the letter and drawings you wrote also fell into the hands of the other party, and the other party wanted to destroy Tang Yuan's family to blame you?"

Xiao Yi couldn't help but sigh in his heart again, and at the same time remembered his eldest brother, dealing with these damn civil officials is tiring! Xiao Yi is not good at this, he has to be cautious every time dealing with these civil officials whose intestines are full of knots, for fear of being sold and helping them to make money. It's the same this time, although he has some faith, but Xiao Yi doesn't dare to let himself have this idea, let's find out the news first, and go back to find someone to discuss!

"According to what you said, who are those people who want to kill Tang Yuan?" This is what Xiao Yi wants to know most now.

"Xia Guan doesn't know, the other party just turned around, even the other party's purpose is just Xia Guan's guess, before the other party has no next move, Xia Guan really doesn't know who the other party is!" Duan Zhang is telling the truth this time, there are many people who want his life, how can he not offend people after being an official for so many years?

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Xiao Yi felt that the information was almost collected, and it was time to go back, being in Yuzhang City was probably not as safe as Fuliang, and the two boys couldn't be left alone.

"No more. Duan Zhang shook his head helplessly.

"If Wei Chao comes back, let him come to the 'Yuelai Inn' in the city!" Xiao Yi said.

"Definitely!"

Xiao Yi then left Duan's Mansion and rushed to the inn where he was staying.

After telling the two teenagers about the news they had gotten, the three of them pondered and meditated all night, but they still didn't get anything. Even Duan Zhang couldn't judge the identity of the person who was born, and it was naturally impossible for these three people who didn't know anything about the forces of Yuzhang County and the court to know.

It was still in the small courtyard the day before yesterday that Uncle Wu came back!

"The old slave is incompetent!Failed to complete the entrustment of the son, please ask the son to surrender!" Wu Bo lay in front of the young man. It's not that he doesn't want to kneel, it's just that his right thigh is now swollen and huge, but it collapses there softly, like a water bag hanging on his body, as if it only takes a bucket to crack. For this reason, Wu Bo had to support his upper body with two hands and lie there like a dog.

"Didn't you say that these ten years have not been in vain?" the young man frowned, still said flatly, but his tone was already a little cold.

"The old slave is incompetent! Please punish the son!" Uncle Wu did not justify anything, if the task was not completed, it was wrong! Justifying himself would only appear to be even more incompetent!

In fact, Uncle Wu was a little careless in defeat this time! In the battle of the Tang Mansion Hall, the two of them fought with the purpose of temptation at the beginning, which is also the practice of experienced masters, although both of them aim to kill each other, but both of them learn the kind of kung fu that fights in a dignified and upright manner, unlike the killer dead man, who can't do it fiercely and desperately as soon as he comes up.

After a few moves, Wu Bo found that although Wei had improved his kung fu over the years, it was still within his control, so he became more and more comfortable. Wu Bo practiced internal family skills, and what he paid attention to was that he had a long breath, and there was no problem of old age and physical decay, and he naturally avoided Wei Chao's fierce and abnormal pair of iron palms as much as possible.

However, within a few rounds, Wei Chao suddenly changed his moves, desperately exposing the danger of his back, and he was about to pounce on Uncle Wu. Wu Bo saw that Wei Chao's hands did not appear red, which was the inevitable reaction of his hands when the iron sand palm was working, so he did not use his hands to defend, but slapped directly at Wei Chao's back, taking offense as defense This is something that people with a little actual combat experience know.

Wu Bo tightened the muscles in his abdomen and prepared to resist Wei Chao's palms, but Wei Chao suddenly turned and moved his hands down to Wu Bo's thighs, Wu Bo couldn't dodge, although he dodged his left leg sideways, his right thigh was really slapped by Wei Chao. Of course, Wu Bo's hands were also imprinted on Wei Chao's back, although the muscles on the other party's back also contracted, but presumably there must have been a shock injury to the internal organs.

After Wei Chao made a move, he turned around and jumped in front of Tang Yuan and his wife, picked up one in one hand, and rushed out of the door.

Wu Bogang wanted to follow, but his right leg suddenly lost sensation! Unexpectedly, Wei Chao had already practiced a pair of iron palms to the point of "returning to the basics"! Although his hands were not red, they were more lethal than those red hands, and Wu Bo's right leg suddenly swelled, and after a while, it turned into a puddle of rotten flesh.

Wu Boqiang cheered up, only relying on one left leg to jump up and down, while chasing and not forgetting to clean up the traces along the way, Wu Boqiang knew that there was a Xiao Yi who might follow at any time, and he was now half of his effort, if he let Xiao Yi follow, not only would the task not be completed, but his life would probably be lost.

As soon as Wei Chao and Wu Bo fought, he knew the gap between the two sides, so he had to take a dangerous move and fight to abolish Wu Bo's ability to act. Sure enough, Wei Chao ran out for a long time and still didn't see Uncle Wu follow. It's just that Uncle Wu's moment is not good, Wei Chao already felt a sharp pain like a knife when he breathed, and a mouthful of blood also gushed up in his throat, and he endured the pain and lowered the fresh blood pressure, Wei Chao knew that once he squirted out this mouthful of blood, he would have to fall into a coma.

A seriously injured person with two people running in the woods south of Changnan Town is self-evident, Wei Chao also needs to change direction from time to time, so he set up some suspicious formations to confuse Uncle Wu behind. On the way, he was also caught up by Uncle Wu several times, and naturally it was a vicious battle, Wei Chao, who was fighting with a breath, escaped several times with Uncle Wu's inconvenience, Wei Chao's palm was really powerful, coupled with Uncle Wu's subsequent fierce battle, the injury became more and more serious, and Uncle Wu gradually became a little powerless.

In this way, Wei Chao fled all the way, Wu Bo chased all the way behind, and finally chased to the shore of Poyang Lake, and completely lost Wei Chao's traces, facing the endless lake, Wu Bo was speechless for a long time, so he had to limp back to Yuzhang City......
