A small group of dark horses galloped towards the city gate, and the people on the horses were all dressed in black and came to the city gate, and the man in black who led the horse reined in, and the officer guarding the city saw the people who came, and hurriedly knelt down on one knee and saluted: "The last general, Wang Qian, has seen the Yan commander." ”

Yan Ke waved his hand and said: "There is an order from above, from now on, Ning'an will close the city, and anyone is only allowed to enter, not out!" ”

Wang Qian bowed his head and received the order: "Yes!" ”

Hengan thirteenth year, the end of July.

Ning'an closed the city, only allowed to enter, not to go out, the city was full of rumors, but the government didn't care, and rumors spread everywhere.

Zhao Qingnian picked up the teapot and refilled himself with a cup of tea, and the two scholar-like people next to him were discussing in a low voice.

"Why is it so good that the city is locked down?"

"Zhang's Mansion is heavily guarded, who is so capable that he can kill the prefect?"

"Who is it?" The man's voice was sarcastic, but he still carefully lowered his voice: "Lord Zhang serves the country, wantonly looting people's wealth, and he is a chivalrous man who can't look down on the rivers and lakes, and eliminates harm for the people." ”

"Brother Zhou, please be cautious, but it seems that a banquet was being held in Zhang's mansion that night, and I heard that there was a distinguished guest visiting......

The voice behind was too small, Zhao Qingnian unconsciously pricked up his ears to listen, but was noticed by the two people, glared at her fiercely, and then stopped talking and left the teahouse.

Taking a sip of the slightly hot tea, Zhao Qingnian fell into memory.

In the dim alley, a young man dressed in blood came out of the corner.

The girl in the lion mask stood among the corpses all over the ground, the blood stained with the fangs of the mask on her face, and it was really a bit bluffing in the cold moonlight.

The man settled down and thanked her, "Thank you girl for saving her life." ”

Zhao Qingnian waved his hand indifferently, and looked at him expectantly: "You said that you can fulfill any of my wishes, is it true?" ”

The man smiled, reached out and untied a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to her: "I will stay in Ning'an City for a while, if the girl has something, she can come to Zhang's Mansion to find me at any time." ”

She stretched out her hand to take it, the jade pendant was warm and moist, the style was simple, and it was a rare piece of good jade.

Zhao Qingnian nodded, and the two said goodbye.

Stretched out his hand to take out the jade pendant on his sleeve, rubbing the pattern on the jade pendant, Zhao Qingnian was in a trance.

She was vaguely aware of some undercurrents hidden beneath the surface, but her head was a mess, with no clues or thoughts.

Here Yuan Qi is still waiting for Yan Zhao's news, and another bad news is coming-

"Pavilion Master, Ning'an City will be closed today because of the assassination of Lord Zhang, and no one is allowed to enter, not out."

！！！

Lockdown!! How much silver is this going to lose?!

Yuan Qi was extremely angry, and slapped his palm on the table, and the rosewood table case cracked.

His face sank, his eyes lit up with a raging fire, and he gritted his teeth and read two words-

Yan Zhao.

In addition to being angry, Yuan Qi sensed that something was wrong, but it was just the death of a prefect, why did it evolve into such a serious thing as a lockdown?

He casually instructed Changyuan: "I'm afraid there is still an inside story about Zhang Yuancheng's assassination, investigate it." ”

"Yes."

"Is there any news from Yan Zhao?" Changyuan nodded: "My subordinates received a secret report that he appeared at the third ferry." ”

Yuan Qi snorted coldly: "He appeared just right, I'm worried that I can't find him to settle accounts!" ”

The bright moon hangs high in the night sky, like water and moonlight, and the road is unobstructed.

The river was panting, and there were constantly waves crashing on the ground, Yan Zhao stood at the mouth of the river bank with his hands in his hands, his clothes were lifted by the wind, and he flew in the air with his black hair.

He's waiting for someone.

His ears moved slightly, and the corners of Yan Zhao's mouth rose, coming.

He turned around and saw Yuan Qi a few steps behind him.

The two of them coincidentally wore a strong suit tonight, with neatly tied cuffs and straps hanging down and fluttering in the wind.

Yuan Qi saw Yan Zhao waiting for him here alone, and instantly understood what he meant.

Okay, you old dog, you killed my fat sheep and looked down on me!

Yan Zhao noticed Yuan Qi's intense and heavier breathing for a moment, his lowered eyelashes were raised, and his eyes were as cold as the moon, which happened to be burning in Shang Yuanqi's angry eyes.

I don't know what touched the sensitive nerves, maybe it was the wind, maybe it was a bird's cry, and the two were instantly entangled together.

Yuan Qi bent his knees forward, his left hand made a move, straight to Yan Zhao's throat, Yan Zhao raised his hand to parry, took advantage of a backflip, and kicked towards Yuan Qi's head, Yuan Qi was short to avoid his swept legs, as soon as Yan Zhao landed, he grabbed Yuan Qi behind him with both hands, and then bowed his waist lightly, and turned Yuan Qi on the ground.

Yuan Qi secretly exerted his strength, rolled to the side, Yan Zhao's fist smashed on the wooden ground, sawdust splashed, and a pit appeared on the solid ground.

After a hundred moves between the two of you, Yuan Qi saw that he was gradually falling behind, so he took advantage of Yan Zhao's move to raise his leg violently, trying to kick him into the water.

Yan Zhao's center of gravity was unstable, he grabbed it casually, grabbed Yuan Qi's neckline, Yuan Qi was shocked, but Yan Zhao grabbed it too tightly, he couldn't break free at all, and with a plop, the two of them both fell into the water.

The river water was cold and biting, and the splashing water droplets made Yan Zhao a little unable to open his eyes, he rubbed his eyes indiscriminately, trying to stabilize his body in the water, so as not to be washed away by the water.

The experienced Yuan Qi quickly adapted to the water, he was not honest when he fell into the water, looking at Yan Zhao who was still fluttering, he raised his leg and wanted to kick him, but he forgot that this was in the water, so he could only slap and hit him with bad eyes.

Yan Zhao was caught off guard, and was hit by Yuan Qi several times on his head and face, and finally stabilized his figure, he unceremoniously counterattacked, at first glance, it looked like two childish ghosts playing in the water.

I don't know how long it took, the two of them were exhausted, and they unanimously signaled a truce, and both swam towards the riverbank.

When his feet stepped on the ground, Yuan Qi relaxed and gasped, stretching his tired limbs. He lifted his wet forehead and pulled them all back, revealing a full, smooth forehead.

He sorted out the clothes on his body, and talked to Yan Zhao at the same time: "Zhang's mansion is heavily guarded, although Zhang Yuancheng is a waste, he is not so easy to deal with. ”

The internal force in Yan Zhao's hand rose, grabbed the bangs in front of his forehead to tidy up and dry, and the long hair on his sideburns dripped down the water trail and flowed down his wet face into the neckline.

Hearing Yuan Qi's question, he ignored it and dried his hair by himself, Yuan Qi was not discouraged and continued to die: "So I'm curious, what did Zhao Qingnian do to you to make you so desperate to find her?" ”

Hearing this, Yan Zhao raised his head and asked, "How do you know I'm looking for her?" ”

Yuan Qi's smile seemed a little unbeatable to Yan Zhao, and he said with a smile: "I'm the pavilion master of Tingfeng Pavilion, and there is something I don't know." ”

Also, this person still has some ability. Yan Zhao thought about it and asked him, "Do you really want to know?" ”

Yuan Qi nodded expectantly, and Yan Zhao beckoned to him and motioned for him to come over.

Yuan Qi rubbed his hands and leaned forward with a doggy face, but when he saw Yan Zhao sneering, he raised his hand and punched him while Yuan Qi was defenseless.

Yuan Qi covered his face and was furious, it's okay to hit him in the body, but it's not okay to hit him in the face! He pounced, and the two, who had finally calmed down, scuffled together again in the blink of an eye.

The day gradually brightened, and the matter finally ended with both of them with blue noses and swollen faces.
