Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

I stared ahead and saw that it was not time for the exam to be closed, and my exam paper had just begun to be answered, and although I didn't know the answers to all the questions yet, at least I still had a chance to continue answering.

In fact, when I opened my eyes, I already knew the answer, although I didn't know the people who shot the bow and arrow at me, but. The man standing in front of them was familiar to me. The person who led the team was Zhao Yan, who had arranged a good place for Cui Li and me, that is, the doorman in the hall.

The bow and arrow came at me as fast as I could, and I only smiled faintly.

The strong man with a giant axe next to him suddenly fell to the ground.

"Who are you!! The strong man, who was watching with a big knife just now, roared angrily.

"The doorman of the palace!! Who dare you to come to my palace to make a !! Zhao Yan is also not inferior in momentum.

"Just a doorman, so arrogant !!" The strong man just wanted to wave the big knife in his hand, and the Wang Mansion Ding behind Zhao Yan had already tightened the bowstring.

The strong man saw that there were many families behind Zhao Yan, and he didn't dare to act rashly: "Good doorman, when the people outside my mansion arrive, I will definitely set foot in your palace!!"

The brawny men were about to turn around and leave.

"Want to go!! It's not that easy, is it!! After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he took the longbow in the hand of the family next to him, and shot the bow and arrow almost without time to aim.

If it weren't for the strong man with the knife to block it in time, I'm afraid it would be the same as the strong man with the giant axe just now.

But Zhao Yan didn't stop, he flew up and jumped towards the strong man, and in an instant, he pulled out a sword from behind him and went straight to the strong man's heart.

Not to be outdone, Zhao Yan blocked the sword behind him and resisted the strong man's broadsword.

The strong man took a few steps back: "Boy, I have some skills, but unfortunately there are too few guards in your palace, and it is impossible to block the people outside my palace." ”

"Then you should try it and see if the sword in my hand is sharp enough." Zhao Yan stared at the strong man, without the slightest timidity in his eyes.

"Good!! See what you have to do to stop my men. ”

After the strong man with the knife finished speaking, he beckoned several strong men beside him to run towards the outside of the palace together.

"Are you really the doorman who dotted our quarters?" Cui Li couldn't believe his eyes.

"Exactly down there." The doorman suddenly became polite, and it was difficult for us to associate the lazy, arrogant, timid and fearful doorman we had just seen in the hall.

"I said that you came in time, if it were a little later, Cheng Yin and I would probably fall in your palace." Cui Li said jokingly.

"The two of you are friends of the master, and you will naturally do your best to protect the two of you, but this bandit has not completely retreated, I am afraid that I have gathered people outside the mansion, and it is not suitable to stay here for a long time, so the two of you should leave the palace quickly." Zhao Yan's words were sincere, he was really like the doorman I saw when I first entered the mansion, I originally thought that the doorman in front of me was just a casual person, but I never thought that at such a dangerous moment, he would have such a responsibility. And he was not flustered, but calm, and with his skills just now, it can be seen that his martial arts are by no means ordinary people.

However, I always feel that there is something strange, in that hall, the old man keeps saying that he is a generation of scholars, but his children know how to dance with guns and swords, and even the doorman next to the son is also good at martial arts, what is going on? Is this just a coincidence? Or is there some important secret in it.

"Cheng Yin, what are you thinking? People said let's leave quickly, I think so, Zhao Yan's martial arts are so powerful, I think that the old man must not be an idle person, he must be able to leave here safely, let's leave quickly, besides, the battle situation in Yiling Pass is still waiting for you to command. Cui Li urged on the side.

"Zhao Yan, the situation in the palace is so critical at this time, you can still think of the thoughtfulness of the two of us, how can we be ungrateful people, or save your master with you?" The situation is critical at this time, how can I leave at this time.

"Two, you are kind, in the heart, but you are not from my palace, although the thieves are likely to gather people and horses to rush into the mansion, if the two of you have any mistakes because of this, you really don't want to go, the master and the young lady are thoughtful, they will do their best in the next place, please rest assured." After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he motioned to the family behind him to go to the path.

"Zhao Yan, although you are well aware of righteousness and heroic, you also know that this is the time when your palace is in danger, and it is not an ordinary trivial matter. If there is any mistake in the master, how can you explain to your son-in-law, and learn from the hall that you have followed your son-in-law since you were a child, and the heart of the protector can be seen by the sun and the moon, but why did your son-in-law leave, but you still stayed in the house? I don't think it's your own thoughts, but your son-in-law ordered you to stay, so that you can protect your lord and lady. My words reached Zhao Yan's heart, he didn't speak, just thought for a while.

"Since the two of you insist on helping each other, I have no intention of blocking it, but this trip must be dangerous, and I hope you two will be cautious." Zhao Yan has already given us a step down.

"We know that time is pressing, so we still do it as we go." Cui Li and I also headed towards the path.

Our group walked along the path.

"Zhao Yan, looking at your age, why don't you look like a doorman, why does your master call you a doorman, even you yourself are so self-proclaimed?" I'm a little curious.

"Shaoxia, I smiled, I followed my son-in-law since I was sensible, and I was not a few years younger than my son-in-law, but I couldn't do anything when I was a child, so I could only manage the gate of this palace, and over time, the lord they used to call me a doorman, and then I felt that it was very smooth, and it has been used until now." Zhao Yan laughed as he spoke.

"No, just a little curious, not meant to make fun of it." I quickly explained.

I looked at the family behind Zhao Yan, although the number of people is quite a lot, but I don't know how many bandits there are outside this mansion.

The night was very deep, but the shouting around me was still endless. I looked at the sky, wondering what the situation at Yiling Pass would be now.
