Under the darkness of the night, Han Xiao rode the messenger's horse to the Hongfeng Fortress, where there was a mission he had to complete, but the news he got from the Xiao family's secret letter had been haunting his mind and could not be erased.

The Xiao family's secret letter only said two things.

The first thing, the three families of the imperial capital made a bet with His Majesty, Li Yuer took the list to Beijing, Li Yuer died, and Xiao Jiasheng was born!

Second, in order to win over the Fang family and consolidate the position of the Xiao family, the original marriage between Xiao Lingling and Fang Hua, the Fang family excused itself not to be ready, and postponed it for a month and a half, the uncle of the Xiao family made it clear in the letter that the Fang family was ambitious and insincere, if the Xiao family was fortunate enough to avoid this difficulty, there would be a contest between the Fang family and the Xiao family, and the marriage would be stopped.

Han Xiao didn't know why the Xiao family's affairs were so widely implicated, so much so that the entire blood dome seemed to be paying attention to the situation in the Southern Regions, and at the same time, there was another person who was pushed to the forefront, that was Li Yu'er, the woman who had met him twice.

Inside the Hongfeng Fortress, Zhang Xuanzong was sitting on the main seat looking at a document, and suddenly heard a noisy voice outside.

"What's the matter?"

The soldiers outside entered the house and returned: "My lord, Lord Li wanted to see you, but because you had ordered not to be disturbed for the time being, the guards stopped you outside. ”

"Well, let her in, there's nothing going on now. ”

"Yes. ”

After a burst of footsteps, two people walked in from outside, one was Li Yuer, and the other was indeed about the same age as Zhang Xuanzong.

Zhang Xuanzong looked at the two of them and frowned slightly.

"Lord Governor, I have discussed with the patriarch, I hope to leave as soon as possible, and my injuries are recovering much faster than expected, there is no problem, this time I specially came to bid farewell to the lord. ”

Li Yu'er bowed like Zhang Xuanzong, she always felt that this town governor seemed to be deliberately delaying her trip, or that he might not want things to be sent to the imperial capital, and the more she stayed here, the more uneasy Li Yu'er felt in her heart.

Zhang Xuanzong's eyes fell on the person beside Li Yuer, this person was the fortress that he had arrived at only two days ago, and the procuratorate had drawn out twenty elite forces from the armed forces directly under the imperial capital headquarters, and it was this veteran in Li Yuer's mouth who led the team.

And Zhang Xuanzong had a booklet in his hand, which recorded, Yuen Long, a person from Ganmu Province in the Eastern Regions, in the middle of the Grandmaster Realm, one of the several worshippers of the Imperial Capital Supervision Department, and the deputy chief of the Supervision Headquarters of the Imperial Capital.

This official position is quite high, second only to the Inspector General in the entire Supervision Office, and the Inspector General is theoretically at the same level as Zhang Xuanzong.

However, this official position in Yuen Long is in name only, and the worship of the Inspectorate is treated in this way, but in fact, the core members of the Inspectorate who really control the Inspectorate will not be these knives, but the people who carry them.

For example, now, Yuen Long still wants to be headed by Li Yuer, a person whose official position is lower than his own, but relatively speaking, Li Yuer will also give enough respect.

"Miss Li, I think we still have to wait, it's better to wait another month. Zhang Xuanzong put down the document in his hand and said in a calm tone.

As soon as he finished saying this, Yuen Long's breath became quite weird, and Li Yu'er also took a deep breath: "My lord, I want to know why, and last time you said it was a month, this time there is no reasonable explanation, please forgive Yu'er for being rude." ”

Zhang Xuanzong smiled: "You are so confident, do you think you can have a chance to turn your face with me?"

"Governor Zhang, the old man and the others may not be able to leave alive, but the things will definitely be sent out. The old man admired Governor Zhang's big knife a long time ago, and I don't know if it is possible to learn it today. Yuen Long's momentum began to rise, he accompanied Li Yuer, in fact, he was also very reluctant, if it was as speculated that Zhang Zhendu had a problem, he and the others would be dead.

Just when Yuen Long's aura was rising, dozens of figures in black armor suddenly appeared outside, rushing directly into the room, several heavy shields separated Zhang Xuanzong and Li Yuer, and the knife and axe men who rushed up from behind also surrounded Li Yuer, and from time to time you could see arrows hidden behind these people.

"It seems that the old man still underestimated this, thinking that he would have the opportunity to learn from the town governor, but he didn't expect to be directly besieged and killed. Yuen Long suddenly smiled bitterly.

"Why be humble, you know what this place is, and you know you won't have a chance. If there is only a little bit of power on the surface, then I, the town governor, am too wasteful. ”

"Yes, but I did observe carefully when I came, and I wonder if the Governor can tell me where these people came from?"

"Have you ever heard of the shadows?" Zhang Xuanzong replied softly without raising his head.

Yuen Long suddenly realized: "I see, the warlock is really awe-inspiring. ”

Li Yu'er looked desperate at the moment, although the old man of the Li family told her that Zhang Zhendu could be trusted when she came, but the events of these days destroyed this sentence little by little, and now, she lost the last bet, fortunately, she had arranged for someone to send things out before she came.

"Governor Zhang, can Yu'er ask, why did you go astray?"

Zhang Zhendu's eyes moved away from the document, looked at Li Yuer's pretty white face, and suddenly laughed: "Misguided? What are you doing?"

Then Zhang Zhendu waved his hand and directly asked people to withdraw, leaving only Li Yuer and Yuen Long in the hall looking at each other.

"I'm not interested in that thing of yours, and there's nothing wrong with me, I've always been the Southern Guardian of the Blood Dome. As for letting you stay here these days, it's because I need to wait for news, but I didn't expect that your girl is so different from your grandfather's guy, and she actually thought of this. ”

Zhang Zhendu threw the documents in his hand to Li Yuer, and said: "Your grandfather started his business by integrity, and believing in others is his greatest advantage, of course, this is also the biggest shortcoming. ”

Li Yu'er took the document with a confused expression, and her expression suddenly became serious when she saw the seal on it.

Zhang Xuanzong gave Li Yu'er an instruction given to her by the imperial capital, asking her to escort things into Beijing after a month and hand them over directly to the current emperor, and the blood-red seal on it indicates that this order came directly from His Majesty.

And Zhang Xuanzong himself also got an instruction, the content is roughly the same as Li Yuer's, but the focus of the task is not on the list, but on Li Yuer, and at the same time, the old man of the Li family also gave a letter, in which he deliberately explained the truth of the gambling game and did not need to tell Li Yuer for the time being.

The old man of the Li family loves Li Yuer very much, and he also knows Li Yuer's character of drilling the horns, he still hopes that when Li Yuer arrives safely in the imperial capital, he will explain it himself, and hopes that Li Yuer can understand His Majesty, of course, if Li Yuer can't arrive safely, then there is no need to explain.

As for the entire escort team, since Zhang Xuanzong knew the thoughts of the old man of the Li family, he would naturally secretly inform the entire escort team, and as for Li Yuer's master and servant, I am afraid that they will be kept in the dark.

"Yu'er, it's rude. After Li Yu'er finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and said to Yuen Long: "Elder, please hurry up and stop them and bring things back." ”

Yuen Long also bowed his hand to Zhang Zhendu, and then left the hall briskly with Zhang Xuanzong's permission.

"Li family girl, you can stay here for another month, we need to discuss many things, and the personnel who could have been assigned to you may not be able to be given. ”

Li Yu'er's brows that had just loosened furrowed were furrowed again: "Why?

"It's nothing, it's just that the forces of the Southern Regions can't participate in this matter, as for the reason, when you get to the imperial capital, your grandfather will explain it to you, and the power you can use at the moment is the resources of the Supervision Department and the people who have been assigned to you by the tomb guards. ”

"Yu'er knows. Li Yuer didn't ask, since Zhang Xuanzong was unwilling to say, there must be enough reasons for her, and she didn't need to touch the wall again.

"Then you go down first, and we'll discuss the specific arrangements together in two days. Zhang Xuanzong set his eyes on the document in his hand again.

"Okay, then Yu'er will retire. After speaking, Li Yu'er left the town governor's meeting hall.
