Under the escort of Jian'an, Dongfang Shuo went out of the city smoothly.

The palace gate, even the Sima family is impossible to stare, plus the two of them are low-key on the road, so when the two of them come out of the east gate at this moment, there is no eyeliner of the Sima family within five hundred zhang.

"This is a map of the northern part of the empire, which marks the fastest route and alternate route to the city, and the other circle is the place where there is Sima's eyeliner, if you don't want to go wrong, go around. ”

As he spoke, Jian An handed out a roll of parchment.

Dongfang Shuo took the sheepskin, rolled it up and glanced at it, and then put it away.

"Thank you. Dongfang Shuo said, "Tell Miss Jia when you go back, I will be back in half a month." ”

Jian An nodded, and then said: "You don't have to worry, Miss said that a wanted warrant will be issued for you in a month, and a killer will be sent to kill you." ”

The corners of Dongfang Shuo's mouth twitched: "...... Listening to your words, I don't even dare to delay for a day, I must hurry day and night, and come back as soon as I finish my work as soon as possible. ”

Hearing him say this, Jian An arched his hand.

Then, without saying a word, he turned and entered the city again through the east gate.

After he didn't enter the crowd, Dongfang Shuo also set off and hurried towards the north.

All the way, Dongfang Shuo starry night, and the fastest route given by Jian'an, and he simply did not enter the city where there was a circle painting, so he accelerated the speed of the road.

Because of this, when he arrived at the city, it was only the dawn of the fifth day.

This speed was still too slow compared to Xu Changsheng's giant eagle demon beast, but it was really one day faster than Dongfang Shuo's estimate before he set off.

Under the rising sun, Dongfang Shuo stood under the south gate of the city.

At this time, there was still peace and tranquility inside and outside the city, and it was not even time for the city to open its doors in the early morning.

At this time, a drowsy young soldier who had just been on guard all night saw Dongfang Shuo, who had already walked under the city gate, and a spirit woke up and poked his head out from above the city wall to look at Dongfang Shuo.

"Whoever is in the city, report your name!"

He shouted.

Dongfang Shuo looked up and saw this guy just right.

Bang dang!

Suddenly, an axe fell from behind the young soldier, smashing him, and the silver helmet that was not firmly on his head also fell off directly and fell from the top of the tower.

Looking at the silver helmet that had fallen, Dongfang Shuo reached out and took it after a brisk walk, and directly grabbed the silver helmet in his hand before it landed.

Then, when he looked up again, a middle-aged soldier poked his head out, dressed in armor that was a little more advanced than the young soldier, and seemed to be a general.

"Lord Dongfang, why are you back?"

On the castle tower, the old soldier immediately asked with a smile.

Dongfang Shuo glanced at it, and said with a smile: "I have something to do, so I'll come back." ”

"Oh, so it is!" the soldier replied, then withdrew his head, and then heard the shouting from the castle tower, "Open the door, open the door quickly!"

At this time, Dongfang Shuo weighed the silver helmet in his hand, looked up at the city wall, and then jumped forward.

When his feet settled again, he said to the veteran in front of him, "You don't need to open the door, it's too hard to open and close." ”

The veteran turned around, but he was also slightly stunned, and the young soldier looked at Dongfang Shuo like a god.

"My mother, this one jumped on the city wall?" As the young soldier spoke, he looked under the city tower, "This is more than a dozen zhang at least, and it is so high in one jump, this master must have an iron bone realm five or six times, right?"

Bang dang!

As soon as the words fell, another board of axes was buckled upside down on his head, this time without helmet protection, and directly smashed him into a daze.

"What nonsense are you kid, this lord is more than iron-clad, but even our city lord is no match for him!" the veteran began.

And the young soldier was stunned for a moment, and said with a look of surprise: "The city lord is not his opponent? can't it? The city lord used to be the general of our city, and he could kill hundreds of demon beasts alone." He looked at Dongfang Shuo, "And this person looks like he shouldn't be as old as me, right?"

The veteran rolled his eyes, and just wanted to pick him up with an axe, but was stopped by Dongfang Shuo raising his hand.

"Yang Dongsheng is really powerful, he can keep one side safe, but I can't even protect the people around me. He said.

As he spoke, he smiled a little bitterly.

Seeing him say this, the old soldier naturally heard the deep meaning.

At this time, the young soldier stepped forward and patted Dongfang Shuo's shoulder, and said earnestly: "It's okay, it's not strong enough now, as long as you work hard, you will become stronger, come on, as long as you work hard, you can also become as strong as our city lord." ”

Dongfang Shuo looked at him and smiled with gratitude.

"I'll fuck your uncle!"

But at this moment, as soon as the old soldier raised his leg, he directly kicked the young soldier, directly causing him to roll several times.

After the young soldier stopped, he hurriedly raised his head and asked with a blank expression: "Uncle, what are you doing?

", what should you do, don't be embarrassed here!"

The uncle drove away the young soldier with a look of disgust.

When the young soldier heard this, he got up in a hurry. However, before leaving, he still made a cheering gesture for Dongfang Shuo, almost making his uncle pick up the axe at him again, but before the axe fell on him, he ran away without a trace.

Seeing this scene, Dongfang Shuo couldn't help but smile.

"Lord Dongfang, this is the baby of the third family of my family, I have just been a soldier for half a month, I don't know your prestige, don't pay attention to him. After the young soldier left, the veteran said to Dongfang Shuo with a smile on his face.

And Dongfang Shuo smiled: "I don't care, you don't have to think about it." This is his helmet, you can pass it on to him in a moment, I still have something to do. ”

As he spoke, after the veteran took over the helmet, Dongfang Shuo immediately left.

"Lord Dongfang, why don't I go and report to the city lord, if there is anything, won't he help you faster?"

"No, it's just a trifle. As the lord of a city, he should also have a lot of opportunities, and he doesn't need to tell him that I'm here, if I really need it, I'll go to him myself. ”

After leaving such a sentence, Dongfang Shuo left in a hurry.

And the veteran looked at Dongfang Shuo's departing back, and sighed lightly, and then looked down at the helmet.

"This melon baby, the helmet is not easy to wear, why does it fall off when you shoot it?"

......

After leaving the city tower, Dongfang Shuo walked down the street.

Although the city gates were not opened, it was already past sunrise, and some shops were already open, and there were already three or two pedestrians on the road.

However, just like the recruit, no one recognized Dongfang Shuo.

And walking in the city, he did not take a detour, but went straight to a street.

This street is deserted at the moment, because it is a night market street.

At the end of one street, there was a courtyard with red lanterns, and it would be bright tomorrow, but the lanterns at the entrance of the courtyard were still shining.

Crunch.

As soon as the door opened, Dongfang Shuo stepped into the courtyard.

But as soon as he had taken two steps in the courtyard, he stopped.

Because behind him, there was a sword against his back.

"I'm Dongfang Shuo. ”

As soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately reported to his house.

As soon as the words fell, the two men walked from the house to the courtyard, each holding a picture scroll and comparing it back and forth with Dongfang Shuo's face.

After a moment, the two glanced at each other and nodded behind Dongfang Shuo.

Then, the blade behind him was retracted.

And Dongfang Shuo sighed, turned his head and looked at the guy behind him, and said, "I think next time you'd better change to a real sword, otherwise it's really hard to scare people." If it weren't for the fact that I was afraid of hurting the harmony, I would have really shot directly just now. ”

Saying this, the guy looked down at the wooden sword in his hand.

Although the sword was made of wood, it was sharpened to resemble a real sword.

At this time, the guy holding the wooden sword sighed and said, "Lord Dongfang, it's really not that we don't want to use the real sword, it's mainly that the little coil we brought before going out has been used up, so we have to pay the price for all the valuable things on our bodies." ”

Dongfang Shuo was stunned for a moment, and said: "Aren't you Xu Changsheng's people, Xu Changsheng is so picky, why did you fall like this?"

"Hey, of course Lord Xu doesn't pick the door, it's just that we only need to go back and forth to carry out this task in the past, and there is no need to stay for a long time. But this time, the boss suddenly asked us not to come back first, and waited for you to come, so we waited for a month. Wait for this more month, and the entanglement will naturally run out. ”

"Yes, Lord Dongfang, we have exhausted our entanglements, but we can't leave easily, so we can only continue to stay here and wait for you to come. If you're a day or two late, we'll probably have to go out into the streets. ”

They say so.

When Dongfang Shuo heard this, he immediately looked away, looking weak.

He scratched his cheeks and said, "Anyway, now that I'm here, it's time for your hard days to come to an end." Then do as I tell you, and I will pay you. ”

When the words fell, he took out a ring from his body, threw it to them, and continued: "There are five or six hundred spirit crystals in this, you use them first, where you need to deal with them or where you need to communicate with people, use this money, if it is not enough, just mention it." ”

After the three of them glanced at each other, they stood in a row in front of Dongfang Shuo.

"Then Lord Dongfang, what do you need us to serve?"

Of the three, the man in the middle asked.

After Dongfang Shuo glanced at the three people, he looked at the person on the far left and said, "You, go check on the old beggar who grew up with Su He, and thoroughly investigate his life." Then, he looked at the person on the right again, "You, go to check the neighbors before the accident at Su He's house, and be sure to thoroughly investigate the source of the 'stolen money'." ”

"Yes!"

The two of them walked out together.

After watching the two of them go out, Dongfang Shuo also breathed a sigh of relief.

"What about me, Lord Dongfang?"

At this moment, the man standing in the middle suddenly spoke.

Dongfang Shuo turned his head to look at him, and after squinting his eyes, he moved to his side.

"You, go back to the Imperial City, but thoroughly investigate all the people that the old city lord of Yuwei City came into contact with when he went to the Imperial City ten years ago, and make a list for me. At this point, Dongfang Shuo lowered his voice a little, "Attention, before the list is listed, you must not let the third person know what you are investigating." ”

"Yes"
