Seeing Shen Gui's scoundrel-like appearance, this fake bandit's heart was half cold: because when he first got acquainted with Shen Gui, he had already passed Shen Gui's breathing rate and had a preliminary judgment on Shen Gui's skills: it may be two hits, but at most it is just a second-rate product!

But just from Shen Gui's blink of an eye, the hand that wiped the throats of fourteen people made this fake bandit have the idea that he was 'blind': the thunder short sword, the midnight swordsmanship, the body is like a ghost, and the shot is traceless; And he is not Bai Heng Bai Wenyan, if you want to 'refuse to accept' the red line of life, you can only pay some 'enough weight' price......

"Slow!"

Shen Gui was worried about Li Le'an and Yan Shuqing, who were still in Jincheng, and was just about to kill the killer, but he was stunned by the shouts of this 'bandit leader'......

"What's the matter? What other tricks do you need to charge? I warn you! Don't play with my master like an eighty-year-old mother or a three-year-old child, I'm inhumane! ”

"No, no... Shaoxia, you are very skilled, I admit defeat! Now, I just want to 'buy' back one of my lives! ”

"If you buy it with silver, then forget it! Don't look at me dressed so worn, but my family is still quite wealthy, and there is no shortage of your three melons and two dates......"

"It's not silver! Wait a minute, I'll take it out and show you......"

After finishing speaking, the bandit groped in his arms, and at the same time looked at Shen Gui's body with some defensiveness in flattery......

"Don't blame me for not reminding you! If your 'baby' is a lime powder thing, it won't do anything to me! What tricks do you have to think of before you use them! ”

"I'm not one of those gangsters on the rivers and lakes...... Ay! Pregnant! ”

After some hard searching, the man finally pulled out a wax pill the size of an egg! With a beaming face, he pulled out a crumpled silk handkerchief from the wax pill; After carefully smoothing it out, he put his hands above his head and respectfully and reverently 'offered' to Shen Gui, who held the power of life and death in his hands......

Shen Gui took it and looked at it, and his eyes were attracted by the neat handwriting on the silk handkerchief:

"Brother Shen Taijian: Foolish brother Zhou Chang'an, a hundred miles of words, is the fourth son of Emperor Tianyou of the Northern Yan Dynasty. Baili is mediocre, fortunate to admire the teacher, Zhu Gongyun is deep, does not abandon the dullness of the foolish brother, shows me the posture of the sages of the past dynasties, and leads me to see the subtlety of the Tao ............"

Because this 'silk letter' is hidden in the wax pill, the place for writing is actually not large; except for those kind words, the whole text actually only expresses one meaning: I, Zhou Chang'an, am in Yanjing City, waiting for your Shen Gui to come!

The fourth prince didn't know if he intended to show off his literary brilliance, so he wrote a whole nonsense in fly-headed small letters and beaming; But the serious matter between the two norths has not been mentioned in half a sentence; However, although it is just a piece of nonsense, a very important question arises in front of Shen Gui:

Even this fake bandit, who has dealt with him face-to-face, does not know his true identity; But how did Zhou Chang'an, the fourth prince who was far away in Yanjing City, calculate accurately, and he would definitely be able to capture the people of Anping Palace?

"This is your master, let you hand it over to me?"

Shen Gui thought for a long time, and finally asked the 'fake bandit' who was waiting for the verdict to be announced.

"No, no, it's the 'life-saving thing' that the master gave me before I left, didn't you see it just now, the wax seal on it was tightly sealed, and I didn't know what was written in the letter! I'm just trying my luck before I die......"

Shen Gui recalled Fang Cai's situation for a while, looked down at the silk handkerchief in his hand again, and fell into thought again......

"If you plan to spare the villain's life, the villain will retire first......"

"Don't rush to leave! Since your master has asked me to drink in Yanjing in the letter; Then I, as a guest, can't go to visit empty-handed......"

Speaking of which, the fake bandit just wanted to introduce his master's daily preferences, but he didn't expect that his eyes seemed to be suddenly covered with a black veil, and he couldn't see anything clearly...

Shen Gui quickly swung out two swords, covering the other party's eyes, and at the same time, he also covered the heavy snow in the mountain col......

When this layer of 'black veil' was lifted again, the fake bandit felt that his ears were frozen numb and had some coldness, and Zhou didn't feel any more uncomfortable up and down......

Before he could recover his senses, Shen Gui stepped forward, bent down slightly, and picked up the two ears that had fallen to the ground......

Early the next morning, Shen Gui and the two female dependents in the car embarked on a journey south. Three days later, the dilapidated carriage finally stopped in front of the East Customs House, which had become a ruin.

This is the first time Shen Gui has visited the East Customs in person, although many people have told him that the East Customs has become a scorched earth of ruins; However, in his own mind, it was just pouring some oil and igniting a fire, so to what extent could it be 'wasted'?

Today, when he saw the ruins and ruins with his own eyes, he finally understood what kind of suffering he had planned for the 'Spiritual Fire Burning City' that had brought to this East China Sea Xiongguan......

Not to mention the more than 200,000 Beiyan soldiers and civilians who died in the fire, just those solid city walls that were burned by the fire for three days and three nights, causing cracks and collapses, can no longer play any defensive role; In the midst of that ruin, except for the merchants who had cleared a road that was not very wide, there were only some charred black things that could not be seen in their original appearance......

Today, Shen Gui has finally realized the insignificance of human beings; I also experienced the horror of human beings.

However, although he was emotionally moved at this time, he did not have the idea of regretting it. Because he has also seen countless people in Youbei with his own eyes, falling under the iron hooves of the Pingbei army; There were also countless comrades and siblings, who were cut off by the steel knives in the hands of Guo's father and son......

After all, human life is not a business, so it cannot be measured equally.

The three of them stopped in front of the East Customs and hastily filled in their stomachs; When the carriage left the customs again, on the cracked ruins of the East Customs, Shen Gui left a small order with charcoal:

"The peaks and peaks are like gathering, the waves are like anger, and the mountains and rivers are on the east (Tong) pass road; Wangyan (west) capital, hesitant. Sad ancient (Qin and Han) passages, thousands of palaces have been made of soil. Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer.

In fact, since coming to Huayu Continent, Shen Gui has consciously avoided 'picking up the teeth and wisdom of his ancestors', but after witnessing this ruin today, he felt an inexplicable sadness from the bottom of his heart......

When Shen Gui and his party of three crossed the East Customs with horses, a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman also walked into the back door of Anping Wangfu in Yanjing West City.

Under the leadership of Ge Sanshui, the chief housekeeper of the palace, this person hurriedly came to the door of the study with his head down.

“…… Pockmarked six? It's been a long time, how is the business on the counter? ”

The fourth prince, who was roasting his hands around the stove in the house, saw that Ma Ziliu was uninvited at this time, and immediately stood up and greeted him eagerly.

The master is a corporal, but he can't kick his nose in the face when he is a slave!

As he grew older, Ma Ziliu's style of acting became cautious and cautious; As soon as he stepped into the house, he knelt on his knees with a 'plop', and turned a deaf ear to the words of the four princes, and was stunned to complete the full set of worship salutes......

"You, you, the older you get, the more stubborn your temper becomes! Donkeys? I haven't moved around for a while, and I'm separated! Sit down, sit down! ”

The four princes laughed and beckoned; When Ma Ziliu walked in front of him, he asked him with a smile:

"You must have come uninvited, what must be the matter?"

"Back to the prince, at midnight yesterday, the Chiwu team you sent to lurk in the north released a pigeon and came back......"

Zhou Changan unfolded the pigeon letter, and after scanning it casually, he handed it back to Ma Ziliu with an unchanged expression; But when Ma Ziliu also finished reading it, his face sank instantly......

"Master...... We must not let him have a chance to enter Fengjing City safely! This kid knew that he was one of ours, but he dared to hurt someone! This is clearly not in the eyes of our Anping Palace! The minions will pick a team of shrewd and capable people and personally lead the team to intercept and kill Shen Gui! ”

Zhou Changan was stunned at first when he saw Ma Ziliu's reaction; Then he tilted his head again, stared at him for half a pillar of incense, and stared at Ma Ziliu, who was over forty years old, staring at him sweating profusely, trembling like sifting chaff, and then he withdrew his gaze, and said in a leisurely tone:

"I have my own opinion on this matter, so you don't need to worry about it! Go for it......"

When Ma Ziliu heard this surprising answer, his eyes widened instantly, and he clearly wanted to say something...... However, he finally swallowed back the 'heartfelt words', and after saluting, he silently left the Anping Palace.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong with Mazi Liu? Do you need an old slave ......?"

After the chief housekeeper Ge Sanshui sent Ma Ziliu away, he immediately returned to the study and asked Zhou Chang'an, who was not good-looking, for instructions.

"It doesn't have to be, he's just a little stupid, maybe he doesn't have any bad intentions..."

"Lord Wang, it's just a little pockmarked six, we don't need to take any risks on him...... The old slave still thinks ......"

"Old Ge, although Ma Ziliu's life or death doesn't matter, he also followed me to eat when he was thirteen years old! So as a joke, the two of us grew up together with bare butts; Now he is merely making a not-so-clever suggestion; If we kill people just because of a mistake, then who will be willing to work for my Anping Mansion in the future? Besides, he is now in the red black, and he can be regarded as a figure with a head and a face! If you kill him, it will only be a matter of a sword; But it chilled the hearts of the brothers, and it was the same thing......"

Ge Sanshui nodded silently, turned around and left the study; And the fourth prince sitting in the room, while fiddling with the pigeon letter on the table, curled the corners of his mouth, and muttered to himself:

"Senior Brother Shen, Senior Brother Shen, this king can't wait to see you......"
