The carriage drove through two alleys, and turned into the third alley, the streets of Chang'an are very wide, that is, the alleys are more than one zhang wide, and this alley is three zhang wide, which is wider than many streets in Shuzhou City.

Xu Mingyuan looked left and right, the doors of the first courtyard on both sides of the street were closed, and there were rusty locks hanging on the doors, and from the cracks in the doors, you could see that the weeds in the yard were knee-high, and a wild cat walked slowly from the courtyard wall, glanced back at Xu Mingyuan, and jumped into the yard lightly.

Compared to the other lively streets, the alley was deserted, and the ruined courtyards on both sides were filled with the occasional sound of wild cats stepping on broken tiles, but there was almost no other sound.

Xu Mingyuan's gaze swept over the street, driving the carriage to make as little noise as possible, and slowly drove forward.

This street is too weird, all the people seem to have fled here, obviously it is one of the best places in Chang'an City, but it is forced to give up this kind of house and move out, is it because of that courtyard?

The carriage drove forward, and an ordinary, but conspicuous courtyard appeared.

Because this courtyard is very large, and because only this courtyard in this alley is still intact.

The courtyard is surrounded by a courtyard wall more than one person high, and it is not known how big this courtyard really is. Behind the gray-and-white courtyard wall are faintly visible bungalows, the style is ordinary, the same gray and white color, which looks a little lifeless.

At the gate of the courtyard stand two stone lions more than one zhang high, the courtyard gate is somewhat simple, and the two-level stone steps are the gate with black lacquer. The horizontal plaque reads "Yuntai Division" in three big characters, and the handwriting is bold. It looks like it's been a while.

The calm courtyard is like a quiet giant beast hibernating. It's a little nervous.

Xu Mingyuan parked the carriage next to another courtyard, tied it to a tree on the side of the road, carried a bamboo box, confirmed that all the important things were placed, took a deep breath, and walked towards the courtyard gate.

The gate of the courtyard was so wide that there was not even a gatekeeper at the door, but also, no one dared to set foot in this alley. Not to mention this courtyard.

What made Xu Mingyuan curious was what was in this Yuntai Division, or what the Yuntai Division was doing, that could make ordinary people fear it like a flood of beasts.

However, being able to cultivate a person like Qi Haobo who kills people like chickens is by no means a good place, Xu Mingyuan slowly walked towards the door, already thinking about how to get out if he encountered any situation.

Xu Mingyuan walked up the steps and just wanted to step into the courtyard. Suddenly a head poked out of the door. Startled, he jumped backwards, almost holding back a punch.

Xu Mingyuan looked at it fixedly, and couldn't help rolling his eyes. It turned out that the person hanging upside down on the door was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy, with his hair tied behind his head with a blue cloth strip draped over his face, and now he was looking at Xu Mingyuan and laughing.

The boy put his feet down. When I rolled back, I was on the ground. looked Xu Mingyuan up and down with a smile on his face.

Xu Mingyuan also looked at this young man, with a delicate appearance. The smile is clean and hearty, and there are two shallow dimples on his face when he laughs, like a young man who does not know the world.

In such a cold and windy weather, he was only wearing a dark blue power suit, with a black knife hanging from his waist, and a few silver-white auspicious clouds embroidered on his cuffs.

The young man looked at Xu Mingyuan and said with a smile: "Where did you come from, scholar, this is not a place for you to enter." ”

"Entrusted to deliver something." Xu Mingyuan also said with a smile, and glanced at the black knife on his waist, which was somewhat similar to Qi Haobo's, but it was shorter, only about two feet.

"By whom? And what are you going to give? The young man stepped forward, walked around Xu Mingyuan twice, and asked with a smile.

Xu Mingyuan looked at the smiling young man, shook his head and said, "There is nothing to say about this, I want to see Chen Qiao, can you take me to meet him?" ”

"You're from Jiannan Road?" The young man stood still in front of Xu Mingyuan, hesitated for a moment and asked.

Xu Mingyuan's eyes froze slightly, he was silent for a while, and then nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Zheng! With a bang, the short knife on the young man's waist came out of its sheath without warning, and it stabbed at Xu Mingyuan's abdomen.

Xu Mingyuan's face changed slightly, he didn't expect that this young man who was still smiling before would suddenly make a move, but the movements in his hand were not a few points slower, and when he reached out, he already held the hand of the young man holding the knife.

The hand was held by Xu Mingyuan, but the young man was not restrained, and seeing that he couldn't continue to poke in, his wrist turned and he was already moving upward.

Xu Mingyuan had learned a few grappling hands, and naturally he would not let him succeed, clasping his wrist with one hand, and putting the two fingers of his left hand together, flicking on the back of the long knife that was coming upward, making a buzzing sound, and the long knife also fell down.

But at this moment, the young man's right hand held by Xu Mingyuan suddenly let go, and with the left hand of the hand, he already held the long knife, and the knife swept towards Xu Mingyuan's neck with a more swift knife.

Xu Mingyuan's eyes were slightly cold, his body suddenly leaned back, avoiding the knife, and then kicked the young man in the stomach, directly kicking him out.

Xu Mingyuan supported the ground with his hands, fixed his body, and stood up in a flash, looking coldly at the young man who was sitting next to the door and struggling to stand up.

This young man's martial arts are not bad, he is extremely fast, and his knife skills are even more ruthless, and the knife is fatal. However, after all, he is still young and has not yet entered the third grade, otherwise Xu Mingyuan would probably have already fallen into the Dao under the previous situation.

"Why did you attack me?" Xu Mingyuan looked at the young man and asked coldly, if this young man was sent by the person who framed Qi Haobo, all this would make sense.

The young man stood up with his hands on the door, rubbing the reader with one hand and holding the long knife in the other, looked at Xu Mingyuan with some resentment and said: "The old blind man has never told me the news of Brother Qi, you think I don't know what your Jiannan Dao branch has done, if something really happens to Brother Qi, I will definitely go to Jiannan Dao to clean up the portal." ”

Xu Mingyuan looked at the young man, his eyes showed a little surprise, it seemed that this young man was not what he thought, but someone close to Qi Haobo.

And the reason why he attacked him was to misunderstand him as the person from the Jiannan Dao Division of the Yuntai Division, it seems that he still doesn't know the news that Qi Haobo is dead, but he heard some news from the Jiannan Dao Division from somewhere.

After thinking about these things, Xu Mingyuan took out the token that Qi Haobo gave him from his arms, looked at the young man and said, "I'm not from Yuntai Division, Qi Haobo asked me to give it to me, and there is his token here." (To be continued.) )
