Xue Chen looked at the sign handed over by Hu Liu'er, and hesitated whether to reach out to the next, but found that the voice behind him directly impacted.

Almost instinctively, Xue Chen quickly took the brand in Hu Liuer's hand and put it into his arms, and then Xue Chen saw Hu Liu'er's last strength in the statement, and made a pretended hideous expression.

The person behind him, the golden captain, had already rushed over, and Xue Chen calmly looked at Hu Liu'er, who had already lost his life on the ground.

While the chief guard ordered people to check the surroundings behind him, he saw Princess Ping'an who fell to the ground, and then looked at Xue Chen, who was standing alone beside the corpse.

There is no one more suitable for picking up Princess Ping'an than Xue Chen, if someone else does it, it can only be called arrogance, so the chief guard quickly stepped forward to Xue Chen's side, and said sarcastically in a deep voice, "Little Marquis, the princess is still on the ground, you shouldn't stand next to the killer to mourn at this time." ”

Hearing this, Xue Chen turned his head and glanced at the chief guard, put away the dagger in his hand, squatted down and picked up the dagger set on the ground, put it away and put it in his sleeve.

"Murder, you have to make sure that the person is dead before it ends, otherwise if you encounter a return to the light, both of you may die in Huangquan." Saying that, Xue Chen's eyes left the head of the guard, and turned to Princess Ping'an's side.

The head of the guard snorted coldly when he heard this, and his pride was stung by Xue Chen's preaching.

"It seems that the little marquis is really more experienced than ordinary people, so he can win the emperor's love."

The sour smell could reach Xue Chen's ears through the air, Xue Chen put down his hand to test the safety of Princess Ping'an's vital signs, and turned his head to look at the chief guard with a cold look.

"The emperor likes not only those who are experienced and can do things, but also those who have vision."

After speaking, Xue Chen raised his hand and picked up Princess Ping'an from the haystack.

"So, there is one thing to remind you, this time to take Princess Ping'an back to the capital, what is the content of the emperor's will, don't forget."

The chief of the guard could only stare at Xue Chen's back as he left, of course he would not forget the emperor's will, but the emperor didn't know people clearly, so let him be a subordinate of a gentleman!

Xue Chen left the cave and took several golden captains with him.

The rest of the people looked around and didn't know what was going on in the cave, so they just approached the chief of the guard and reported the situation around.

"At present, it seems that there should have been an ambush around just now, and there are footprints in several places, but it is not clear why there is no action." Some people have doubts.

"Maybe they saw us coming just as they were about to act, and they happened to be short of manpower, so they didn't do it." Some speculated.

The chief guard listened to the words of the crowd and looked at the corpse in front of him.

"It seems that this man is not simple, but he was easily subdued...... "The chief of the guard turned to the people beside him, "bring the body back and let people check on his condition." ”

The few people who received the order were a little reluctant, but they could only leave with the corpse as ordered.

The head of the guard looked at the direction in which everyone left, and he was still suspicious of Xue Chen in his heart, and even became more and more suspicious.

On the other side, Xue Chen came to the carriage with Princess Ping'an in his arms, and the golden lieutenant did not forget to prepare all the things at this time, and Xue Chen did not know whether to praise them for being thoughtful or that they did not have a sense of urgency.

But no matter which one it is, looking at it now, it is undoubtedly friendly to Xue Chen.

At least Xue Chen didn't have to go so far all the way with Princess Ping'an in his arms, Xue Chen thought, put Princess Ping'an in the carriage, turned around and left the carriage.

What Xue Chen didn't notice was that the moment he turned to leave, Princess Ping'an opened her eyes and saw his back.

In fact, as early as when Xue Chen picked up Princess Ping'an, Princess Ping'an had already woken up, but she didn't say it, just nestled quietly in Xue Chen's arms.

She thought that she could stay in Xue Chen's arms for a long time, but she didn't expect that the bonus was so comprehensive.

For a moment, Ping'an was angry and wanted to hammer the mat under him, but after thinking that Xue Chen was outside, he would definitely hear the movement inside, so he put down his hand.

There was nothing to say all the way, and after the carriage arrived at the post station, Xue Chen opened the curtain and told Princess Ping'an that she could get off at the place.

It stands to reason that Xue Chen should be surprised to see Princess Ping'an, who was already sober, but he didn't expect Xue Chen to behave unusually calmly, as if he had known it for a long time, Princess Ping'an couldn't help but glance at Xue Chen when she got out of the car.

She was wondering if Xue Chen had already noticed when she woke up, but before she could take a few looks, the palace maids pounced on her and looked left and right worriedly, interrupting Princess Ping'an's gaze at Xue Chen.

Seeing this, he didn't move, and raised his hand to salute Princess Ping'an.

"Your Highness, let Your Highness be frightened, I hope Your Highness will forgive."

Princess Ping'an stared at Xue Chen when she heard this, as if she wanted to see through Xue Chen's words and deeds.

"What if this palace doesn't forgive?"

"Then I hope Your Highness will deal with it lightly."

"Master Xue Xiaohou is really a good son of my big cloud." Princess Ping'an turned her head with a smile, and turned upstairs with the palace maids beside her, leaving Xue Chen and a group of golden captains.

The chief guard was left behind, and everyone naturally could only let Xue Chen speak.

They had seen how powerful Xue Chen was in the quarrel between Xue Chen and the chief of the guard, even if the scene just now made them feel that Xue Chen was deflated, it was very funny, and several people didn't dare to laugh out loud.

Xue Chen glanced at a few people and said calmly, "You wait for the chief guard here, his own people, he knows how to arrange it, and I won't trespass." ”

After saying that, Xue Chen turned around and went upstairs, and threw several people downstairs, a few people from the golden captain, you look at me, I look at you, and they all thought that Xue Chen did it on purpose.

In fact, whether Xue Chen did it on purpose or not, only Xue Chen himself knows.

Xue Chen returned to your room, closed the door, and closed the door, then turned around and came to the table to blow out the candles on the table, returned to the bed, and took out the lighter in his arms and the sign handed over by Hu Liuer.

Lighting the lighter, Xue Chen looked at the token in his hand through the light of the lighter on the bed.

The token is carved with a clear dragon and auspicious clouds and a tiger roaring in the sky, with a huge "Ling" character in the middle and three lines of words engraved on the back.

Xue Chen quickly read the three lines of words above, and his heart trembled, it was the Dragon and Tiger Talisman!

The Dragon and Tiger Talisman can drive the Great Cloud Iron Rider - the Golden Captain.

To be precise, of course, it is not the current Golden Captain, but the Golden Captain who was hidden by the Emperor as early as fifteen years ago, and that is the real Dayun Iron Horse.

The emperor and the Empress Dowager Cize are both looking for this dragon and tiger talisman, so they will make a clear distinction when absorbing their own power in the court.

Xue Chen vaguely knew something about this, and many people said that the dragon and tiger talisman might be in the hands of the left minister, the right prime minister or a certain general, and the real dragon and tiger talisman could subvert the current regime when it came out of the mountain.

Therefore, the emperor and the queen mother seized a force by themselves, either left or right, and fought to get the dragon and tiger talisman, and the Pingnan Marquis Mansion was accidentally involved in this competition because of this.

Xue Chen sometimes even felt that the emperor wanted Princess Ping'an to marry Xue Chen, largely because of the dragon and tiger talisman.

Xue Chen didn't know where the left and right phases were clear, but Xue Chen could be sure that his father, Xue Dingshan didn't know where the Dragon and Tiger talismans were located after the New Year.

Now it seems that even the left and right ministers are not necessarily very clear about this.

Why is such a powerful thing in Hu Liuer's hands?

The existence of this military order actually proves that if Hu Liuer was dissatisfied with the emperor and wanted to lead people to rebel, he would not have fallen to this.

But Hu Liu'er's expression at the moment of his final death didn't seem to mean that he hoped that Xue Chen would help him prove it, Xue Chen frowned, extinguished the lighter in his hand, and put the dragon and tiger talisman into his arms.

The lighter in his hand was cooled by Xue Chen and thrown into his arms.

Xue Chen turned around and lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, but his mind was full of things about the Dragon and Tiger Fu.

There are too many people involved in this matter, even including the Ping'an Marquis Mansion, such a dangerous thing, ordinary people will not stay on their bodies, if according to Xue Dingshan's loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, Xue Chen guessed that the Dragon and Tiger Fu would definitely be handed over directly to the emperor.

But Xue Chen intuitively felt that such a thing in front of him should not be handed over immediately.

Or rather, it should be on a case-by-case basis.

Recalling some of Hu Liu'er's accusations against the emperor before his death, Xue Chen was sure that Yun Liu'er did not want him to hand over the Dragon and Tiger Talisman to the emperor now.

Otherwise, Hu Liu'er would have handed over the Dragon and Tiger Talisman to the emperor a long time ago, so as to get rid of his sinner body, Xue Chen himself did not have the intention of rebelling, but Xue Chen and Hu Liu'er's thoughts also coincided.

Hand over the Dragon Tiger Talisman now, Xue Chen believed that he would only become the culprit who made the situation even worse.

From a certain point of view, the existence of the Empress Dowager Cize is indeed a good restrain some of Yun Jiuxiao's irrational behaviors, such as the annual tribute of all countries and the promulgation of some policies.

Of course, Xue Chen is not qualified to evaluate how well the emperor is doing, but Xue Chen can decide where to leave the things in his hands.

There are also the victims of the disaster that Hu Liuer said, Xue Chen has not heard of any disasters in the capital, it seems that someone must be hiding it and not reporting it, all of which makes Xue Chen's heart uneasy.

It was destined to be a sleepless night.

When the chief guard returned, he couldn't help frowning when he saw his people standing outside the post station, standing firmly in the cold wind.

"Who made you stand here? Why don't you go back to the house to rest. ”

"Back to the chief of the guard, it's the little marquis, the little marquis said that we are your people, and this matter should be decided by you."

The little soldier truthfully conveyed Xue Chen's words to the chief of the guard, and the chief of the guard widened his eyes angrily, he thought that the matter between the two should end in the cave, but he didn't expect Xue Chen to actually take another army!

Closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, and several times, the chief guard wanted to rush up directly with someone, kicked open Xue Chen's door, and dragged Xu Chen out of the room The two of them had a good talk.

But after thinking about it, he is about to arrive in the capital, even if he can gain the upper hand here, can he still have the upper hand when he comes back to the capital?

Xue Chen is the little marquis after all, no matter how much he has an opinion on Xue Chen, it is just, it must be an emotion that he puts in his heart, once he performs too much, it is very likely that it will affect the innocent at that time.

Taking a deep breath to suppress his anger, the chief of the guard said to the people around him, "Send the corpses to the yamen and rest." ”

The people around didn't know what the chief of the guard was thinking, so they all got the order and obediently sent the corpse to the yamen.

Qingcheng County.

Xiao Qing looked at the envelope in his hand and turned his head to look at Xiao Li beside him.

Xiao Li immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There is a great insect plague in the north, and it is expected that the restaurant you are going to open in Liao County may not be able to open as expected." Xiaoqing said with a serious face, "But that side can only stop work as long as it receives Sister Su's affirmation." ”

Xiao Li frowned when he heard this.

"This can't be done, the owner has been off for three days, and now I don't know where the owner is at all, and we can only remember to send this news to the capital inn that the owner said."
