After Shen Gui and Qi Yan had breakfast, they sneaked into the house of the owner of the beef patty stall and changed into two ordinary people's clothes. Before leaving, Shen Guidu had already left a silver ticket of five hundred taels, but after not long after, he turned around again and exchanged it for four small tickets of fifty taels.

Qi Yan also objected to this slightly stingy behavior; But Shen Gui told him that this man was in the business of fried meat patties, and he dealt with vegetable oil and meat filling all day long; However, there are still many visible old cracks on his heels and wrists, so he believes that this man should have been a Jianghu man who sold smuggled salt or operated a salt drying field for a living, and could not be a person who lacked silver. Besides, if they really leave a big ticket of five hundred taels, then the couple will soon get into big trouble.

After a makeover, the two of them saw an anti-theft list stamped with the seal of the Chang'an prefect when they passed by the archway of Shifo Town.

Reward for the thief. There are two thieves of Shen Gui and Qi Yan, and people from the third road in the north. These two people entered the palace to steal the royal treasure, killed good people on the way to escape, robbed money along the way, tortured and killed the daughters of good families, and committed many atrocities against human morality, which is really a crime that cannot be atoned; If there is a person who has obtained two thieves or has definite information, he should report to the nearest state capital yamen; If the two thieves are caught because of this, whether they live or die, they can get a reward of 1,000 taels of silver; If you only have the surname of the thief, you can get a reward of 300 taels. Anyone who deliberately aids a thief or ignores it will be punished with the same crime as the offender. God bless the fifty-third year, February 12.

Although this wanted list may seem ordinary, it also has several unusual features; First of all, the paper used in the list is ordinary rice paper, which is covered with a layer of wax seal and waterproof, rather than the customary Huangbang paper. The official seal stamped at the end is the big seal of the Chang'an prefect, not the official seal of the Anti-Theft Department of the Criminal Department. But judging from these two points, it is obvious that this is only the meaning of Zhou Changfeng, not the official document of sea fishing approved by Emperor Tianyou's imperial pen and signed by the Anti-Theft Division.

In other words, according to the laws of the imperial court, such a regional wanted list has no legal effect as long as it is out of the scope of the land of Sanqin; Except for those coveted rangers and officials who had a close personal relationship with Zhou Changfeng in private, no one would treat Shen Gui and Qi Yan as criminals wanted by the Northern Yan Imperial Court.

Moreover, from this paper list, Shen Gui also captured other meanings.

First of all, the royal folding fan he carried with him should have been his most solid backing in Beiyan; But now it has become the physical evidence of his burglary charge in the palace; In this way, even if he is caught in the future and climbs at will, it will definitely have nothing to do with Emperor Zhou Yuanqing.

The main purpose of Zhou Changfeng's move should be because he was not ready to tear his face with Emperor Tianyou, so he could only take action in person to help him clear up the relationship; Of course, by the way, you can also completely shatter your own backing.

As for his title of foreign envoy of the King of Zhongshan, it did not play any role. However, Shen Gui is still unsure, whether this is due to Zhou Yuanqing's personal intentions, or whether the situation between Beiyan and Youbei has changed; And how much does this matter have to do with Yan Qinghong, the Xingping Emperor of Youbei Third Road?

Although Shen Gui was not afraid of anyone smearing him, he also knew that the power of this list was definitely not limited to the land of Sanqin. Under the painstaking management of the two generations of King Qin's father and son, the officials of Northern Yan who bordered the land of Sanqin have always been very ambiguous about the imperial court and King Qin. Of course, the posture of being an official should be a tumbler; A mature feudal official, no matter which side he is dealing with, will not easily place a heavy bet, let alone a desperate and clear side.

In fact, there is no huge conflict between shouting long live our emperor in the music and in private for the saddle and horse of the king of Xiao Qin.

Therefore, although this list text seems to be unable to step out of the land of Sanqin, as long as the two of them do not step into the iron plate at the feet of the Son of Heaven for a day-Jizhou Realm, then this Sanqin blade will always hang high above the heads of the two! However, so far, Qi Yan is also in a state of want......

Now Shen Gui and Qi Yan, a pair of difficult brothers, can really be said to be a place where there is no tile to cover their heads and no cones to stand below; All the reinforcements and backing he could think of, as if they had made an agreement with each other, quickly retracted their heads; On the bright side, half of the officers and soldiers of the Northern Yan Dynasty were hunted for quickly, and they were all looking for these two Sanqin fugitives; Secretly, there are still people who are listening to the truth and those who are not self-conscious......

As the saying goes, open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend; No matter how fierce the tiger is, there will be a time to nap after all, let alone Shen Gui and Qi Yan? Therefore, at least at this point in time, the Northern Yan Dynasty, a land of right and wrong, cannot stay any longer.

The picture that Shen Guifang saw at the beef patty stall just now was the trace left before Qi returned. However, he only informed Shen Gui of the news that the three of them had escaped from Chang'an City safely, and agreed with Shen Gui to meet near Jiankang City of the Nankang Dynasty; The rest of the news, limited by the space of the bamboo pole, did not leave anything.

And it just so happens that this agreed place is also the only place for the two of them to go right now! Not to mention that their relatives have all settled in Nankang, just those overt and covert pursuit and assassination will make them uneasy for a moment. As for Zhou Changfeng, the dog thief who has formed a bond with himself, but when the wind passes, he can kill him at any time. Whether it is Liu Banxian, who has disappeared without a trace, or Bai Heng, who is going to Jiankang City with three hostages, which one of them moves his fingers, it is not something that Xin'anhou, who is sitting on the Spring and Autumn Dream, can resist!

The smaller the target, the easier it is to escape; One of them is the backbone of Xiaojiamen, and the other is the demon king of the mixed world who has been wandering in the market since he was a child, which can be called an excellent combination on the way to escape. In addition, Di Ting, who has a deep hatred with Shen Gui, has unexpectedly fallen into a period of silence; And those so-called Jianghu rangers, there have been several groups of people, and they have drunk face-to-face, but they haven't noticed the slightest abnormality. In such a situation, if you can't even avoid the investigation of the government and the people of the rivers and lakes, then even if it falls into the hands of the enemy, you can only give a sentence that you deserve

And these two were able to escape from a big net, thanks to the official painters raised in Chang'an Mansion, who are good at freehand ink painting skills without form......

In this way, Shen Gui and Qi Yan followed the marks left by Qi Hui along the way, and went straight to the southeast. It wasn't until they stepped into the territory of Huizhou, which was on the front line of the Civil War, that the two brothers temporarily stopped their tired footsteps.

They chose to settle down in Anqing Mansion to find out the news, and by the way, they had a rest.

This Anqing Mansion is the frontline town of the Northern Yan Dynasty, and it is only separated from the land of the Nankang Dynasty by the Huajiang River. Despite such proximity, the water near Anqing Province was extremely narrow and it was impossible to set up a fleet; And the fact that the two armies can face each other across the river means that neither side can land here safely, and it will not become the main condition for the front line of water warfare. As a result, Anqing Mansion, which is located in the forward position of the two armies but has not experienced the war, has become the default trading place for both sides, and has also become the preferred location for private smuggling.

Therefore, this Anqing Mansion is like a peace hotel in the Civil War; Although the scale of the town is not as large as that of Nankang, which is rich and prosperous; But at least in terms of population density and throughput of goods trading, it has become an indispensable and important city for the Northern Yan court.

As the so-called small hidden in the wild, big hidden in the city; In this dock city where merchants gather from the south to the north, there are two more ordinary young people from other towns, who are like a drop of water falling into the sea, unable to stir up half a ripple.

Qi Yan, who was sitting in the single room of the foot shop, pointed to the lines drawn on a parchment map, and said to Shen Gui with a frown.

"Why do our brothers have to settle down in Anqing Mansion? Didn't Xiao Hui go to the road they took, didn't he enter Jiangdu County and go straight to Jiankang City? Why do we want to cross the river in Anqing Mansion? If we board the ship from this pier, even if we get to Nankang Realm, we will have to walk more than 500 miles! ”

Shen Gui was sorting out his bags and packages, and he didn't reply to Qi Yan's words, but explained to him in a leisurely tone:

"Li Xiaopang and that uneasy guy are both serious princes of Youbei, and they all carry official envoy documents, so they cross the river from Jiangdu County through official channels, although it will be troublesome, but it is safe enough; Moreover, when the three of them arrived in the territory of Nankang, they would also be courteously received by foreign envoys; In other words, the more eyes that converge on the three of them, the safer they will be......"

Speaking of this, Shen Gui suddenly flipped over a dart bag; When I opened it, it turned out to contain the four three-inch dragon nails that I didn't know what they were for. He looked at the four dejected things and was silent for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile, put it away carefully, and continued to explain to Qi Yan:

"But what about our brothers? is not only a person from the three roads in Youbei, but also a person who is recognized by the Hou Mansion of An'an as a prisoner of the imperial court; If you really go to Jiangdu County, whether it is out of business or personal vendetta, you can't ask that giant spirit Hou Xu Ronghuan to pluck the skin and cramp, crush the bones and scatter ashes!

This giant spirit marquis Xu Ronghuan is the son of Xu Wanzhou, the guard general of Beiyan who died in front of the Eastern Customs that year. It is said that he has a bold and straightforward personality, and has a short temper, and seems to be a reckless man with a brave and foolish mind; But in fact, he has extremely attainments in the use of soldiers, as if he is a genius in the sky, brave and cunning coexist, he is a member of the thick and fine, and there is a splendid world-famous general! Although now the name of Yan Chongwu, the god of war in the Northern North, has resounded throughout the entire Huayu Continent; But in fact, Shen Gui knew very well in his heart that the true ability of that big black bear, if it was compared with the giant spirit, was definitely not only inferior!
