When Chen Guyu woke up from his sleep, Yue Xi had already picked a few dew-stained fruits and handed them to him.

"Let's eat something to fill my stomach first!"

"Thank you. ”

Chen Guyu took the fruit, slowly straightened up, and moved his hands again, looking very handy.

"How?"

"Wounds...... It all seems to have healed. ”

Yue Xi was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips and smiled: "It seems that the ointment is still very useful." ”

Chen Guyu smiled, and he was also slightly relieved. Anyone who is captured by a stranger in a strange place will not feel at ease, even if that person is most likely their savior.

It's just that yesterday was really powerless to resist, and from today's point of view, that old monk should not have any bad intentions, at least, this kind of ointment that can heal people in one day must be extremely precious.

After eating the fruit, the two waited quietly, according to yesterday's statement, the old monk should also come.

Sure enough, only a moment later, heavy footsteps rang out. Looking up, a vague figure gradually became clear in the thick mist. The old monk was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, the gray monk's robe was full of oil stains, he closed his eyes, groped his way forward, and gradually came to the two of them.

"It's back!" his voice was a little hoarse.

Chen Guyu stood up and saluted respectfully: "Thank you seniors." "It's a lifesaver.

"Hehe, old monk, I'm just entrusted by someone. Otherwise, why bother to provoke Sheng Tang!"

"But no matter what, it was the seniors who saved us. If the seniors send anything, the kid will definitely go to the soup!"

The old monk's cloudy eyes rolled, although he couldn't see anything, Chen Guyu still felt that the old monk's attention had been placed on him, it was a very strange feeling, like a gaze from fate, no matter what, he couldn't avoid it.

He sneered and said, "What if I ask you to give up your grudge against Sheng Tang?"

Chen Guyu was stunned for a moment, but then he was silent, giving up his grudge against Sheng Tang, which was obviously impossible, but this was the old monk's request, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed when he thought of his previous words.

Unable to hear Chen Guyu speak, the old monk smiled and said, "I can't do it, remember this lesson, don't say too much in the future, you alone will never expect what kind of requirements there will be." ”

"The seniors taught us. ”

The old monk shook his head, turned and walked forward.

"I'm going to take you somewhere, and if you're interested, come along!"

Chen Guyu and Yue Xi glanced at each other and hurriedly followed. Because without the guidance of the old monk, they would not have been able to walk out of this forest.

The three of them gradually disappeared into the thick fog.

Behind him, there was a sudden sound of birds flapping their wings, as if they had been frightened by something.

……

This is Chang'an.

Another day and a new beginning.

Yesterday's stargazing meeting has ended, and according to the rumors, it is the championship won by the Guangming Temple, which is really very exciting news for the people of Chang'an. After the stargazing meeting, a selection of cultivators of great significance for casual cultivation was also carried out, and a total of eighty-seven cultivators with talents and opportunities were able to enter the four holy places and become the outermost disciples, thus ascending to heaven in one step. Of course, none of this is the point, the hurried end of the stargazing meeting has given the people who cannot see it a hint of foreboding, and they all notice that something is unusual, afraid that something big is wrong, just like ...... Four years ago in general.

But the royal family did not say anything, and the people could only go about their livelihood for a day as usual, and for them, the truth was always the last to know.

Today is a little different from the past.

The faces of the people who come and go do not have the pride and leisure of being the people of the Tang Dynasty, nor the joy and pride after winning the championship in Guangmingguan, but there is more imperceptible tension and fear, even if they meet some acquaintances on the road, they just nod and leave in a hurry, and now they wish they would stay at home and never go out again.

Because on the street, from time to time, the guards from the palace galloped by, dark black iron armor, swords that flashed with cold light, and the strong smell of blood. The people knew that it was an internal guard, and they were also soldiers of the Supervision Yuan, and each of them had at least dozens of lives on their hands. Everywhere I passed, there was a burst of chickens and dogs.

And the purpose of these people is to arrest two people.

Just this morning, Emperor Tang issued a holy decree, and two people were wanted in the city, a young man and a girl, one named Song Hanshan and the other called An Ye. Although their identities were not announced, the people secretly speculated that they must not be small people, and they must be related to the previous stargazing meeting, otherwise, the whole city would not be as vigilant as it is now.

The situation that a mighty and majestic Chang'an can be put on guard by the whole city has never happened again except after the Xichuan Empire's large-scale attack.

I heard that it seems that someone was directly killed by those internal guards because they had seen them but could not report the specific situation, and the blood stained the wellhead of West Street, and it could not be washed off no matter how it was washed.

The people walked with their heads down, afraid of being interrogated by the wolf-like internal guards, afraid of meeting those two people, and even more worried that when they returned home, they would see the two people hiding in their homes.

For example, Chen Guo of the Eighth Dao, a strong man in his thirties.

Because of the barrenness of the family, no girl has taken a fancy to him so far. But Chen Guo doesn't care, since his parents died when he was a child, he grew up by begging, and the inheritance of blood is just dispensable for him, what he is most happy about every day is to take a little money and go to the brothel Qinghuayuan at the end of the eighth road for recreation, what is the use of getting married?

Although the atmosphere didn't seem to be right today, it wasn't a big deal for him, humming a brisk song, Chen Guo shook off the few taels of silver he had just won from the casino and returned home. What he's thinking about now is which girl to find tonight, Cuihua? No, he's tired of playing. Pink, nice. Yueyue, too!

"Squeak".

"Who?"

The door of his house suddenly opened by itself, Chen Guo was shocked, and hurriedly shouted, he remembered very well that the door was locked when he left, so now, what is the situation?

He hesitated and walked in, and in the narrow low bungalow, an oil lamp had been lit, and the dim light swayed slightly with the cold wind of the open door, reflecting the faces of the two people in the room.

"Who are you!" Chen Guo shouted a little inwardly, he could see clearly that the luxurious clothes on these two people were definitely not ordinary people, at least they were a big man at the top of Chang'an, and that was not something he could afford to provoke.

As the words fell, one of the two young men stood up, walked up to him, and asked with some confusion, "You don't know us?"

Chen Guo shook his head hurriedly, he didn't know, he didn't want to know, he didn't even look carefully at what those two people looked like, although he had been living at the bottom of the empire, but he knew one thing very well, that is, the affairs of the big people should never be mixed, whether it was good or bad, and the last to die would always be themselves.

Hearing him say this, the girl behind the young man suddenly seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Master...... Cold Mountain!"

The young man nodded, then took out a piece of broken silver from his clothes, and said to Chen Guo: "We are merchants from the realm of mountains and seas, because we met an enemy, we had to hide in your house, we have contacted the elder of Chang'an, and he will be there soon...... We haven't eaten since yesterday, can you get us something to eat?"

Chen Guo didn't hear the young man's previous explanation clearly, his eyes had already begun to glow, staring at the ingot of broken silver, it was so big, and then blurted out in his mouth: "Okay, okay, I'll go and prepare for the two of you, haha!"

With a smile on his seemingly honest face, he grabbed the silver and ran happily to the backyard. Hold up the weight, about five taels, good guys, this will have to be in the casino for days.

Quickly took a few leftover sweet potatoes from the pot, and ran straight to the front room, these two are big people, if they serve well, maybe he will be developed in his life!

I hadn't taken a few steps when suddenly, a conversation between two people came from the house.

"Senior brother, what do you think we should do? There is no way to go on like this!" was the girl's voice.

The young man replied: "I don't know, who would have thought that Emperor Tang would dare to risk the world's condemnation to want our ruling view, this, I'm afraid even the senior brother who left didn't expect it!"

Chen Guo's excited footsteps stopped suddenly, and his whole body seemed to be drenched in cold water, and he calmed down instantly.

"They, they're wanted by His Majesty?!"

Chen Guo's cold sweat flowed down all of a sudden, and then gradually retreated, if those internal guards found out that he had hidden these two criminals, even ten heads would not be enough to kill!

Soon, he remembered what everyone was talking about when he went out in the morning, and also thought of the wanted notices posted everywhere, he hadn't thought of it before, thinking that these two people were really big nobles who were outcast, he had the idea of not participating in anything with the big guys, he just hoped to make more money from the two of them, but now ......

"These two are now wanted in the city...... Those who know but do not report will be killed...... There is no forgiveness for those who hide criminals...... Those who conspire with each other will be beheaded by the nine clans...... Those who report their whereabouts will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold...... Those who assist in the capture will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of gold, a third mansion, and a first-class hereditary baron!"

On the announcement, the series of killings in the front is shocking, but the rewards in the back can make countless people fight for all this with their lives.

Chen Guo's heart was already on fire, he took out the broken silver that he carefully treasured from his arms, and then spat fiercely and threw it directly on the ground, five taels of silver, what is it, his future is already close at hand.

Chen Guo's face was full of hideousness, and he turned around and ran out of the back door.

Song Hanshan and An Ye sat in the room, their faces were solemn, although they were the true disciples of the Ruling Concept, their talent and strength were first-class, but in the face of an empire like the Tang Dynasty, there was really no way at all.

The huge Chang'an, under the strict guard of the guards, could not escape at all, the power of a state apparatus was unimaginable to them, they could only continue to hide until the arrival of the elders of the ruling system......

"Hmm, why hasn't the food been prepared yet?" Song Hanshan stood up and looked towards the backyard, where there was no one there.

"Not good!" Obviously, the sudden disappearance of the strong man was definitely not an accident, their identities had been revealed.

Song Hanshan suddenly showed a look of remorse, he still believed in other people too much, he thought he was just an ordinary person, and he didn't know them, but he didn't expect that everything was exposed in the end.

"An Ye, you wait here, I'll go out. ”

When the words fell, Song Hanshan's body had disappeared into the house. As a true disciple of the Ruling Concept, his strength is obviously good.

"Senior brother?!" An Ye sighed silently, she could only hope that Song Hanshan could find that person in time, otherwise, it would be another way to hide in Tibet.

Song Hanshan quickly flickered on the roof, and soon saw the strong man who was running wildly.

"Where are you going?" The cold voice resounded behind him, and Chen Guo's heart suddenly shuddered, and he turned his head tremblingly. Song Hanshan was already standing behind him.

"I ...... Haha, there's no food at home, I'm going to buy something to eat......"

"No, go back. ”

Chen Guo kept trembling, he knew very well that if he went back like this, he would definitely not be able to save his life, and after struggling, his face was full of hideousness, and he roared angrily: "Come on, there are ...... here"

The words stopped abruptly, Chen Guo's vague mouth could no longer spit out words, replaced by disgusting blood foam, and the expression on his face was very hideous, but he gradually lost his breath.

Song Hanshan drew his sword expressionlessly, for him, killing such an ordinary person was tantamount to stepping on an ant, although he hadn't killed for a long time, especially after entering the mountain gate of the Ruling View.

Only this time, he has to pay the price for his carelessness, he doesn't allow such a thing to happen again, this time, it's just a little bit, almost a real catastrophe.

And he wants to protect his junior sister!

"An Ye, I will definitely protect you! No matter what, even if you kill a demon!" Standing in the pile of blood, he carried the sword and said softly.
