Chen Shao followed Xu Yan into the mansion, and just stepped into this mansion, the scene in his eyes made Chen Shao a little surprised.

The courtyard is very plain, with no extra decoration at all.

I heard that it was in this courtyard that Lord Xu held a banquet for his own family, Chen Shaoguang heard how the banquet was extravagant that day, but he never expected that the house was this scenery.

It's not like a mansion that I thought was a dignitary.

The two entered the hall, and the people in the house brought tea to entertain the guests very cleverly, and after serving the tea, they each retreated, and only Xu Yan and Chen Shao sat diagonally opposite each other in the hall.

"Tell me about the so-called 'important things' you've been yelling about for so long." Xu Yan said in a flat tone.

Chen Shao put down the teacup he had just picked up, and sat down with a solemn face: "Lord Xu, you know that Chen Yu, the head of the household department, has a close relationship with the general who has just returned to the dynasty."

"Oh?" Xu Yan raised his eyebrows, and a hint of imperceptible surprise flashed in his eyes: "I haven't heard of it, how can I see it?"

The mocking look in Chen Shao's eyes sneered, and he said, "The two of them secretly had a private meeting in the teahouse in the city, behaved intimately, sat and laughed at each other, all of which were seen by the lower officials with their own eyes, and Lord Xu was a clear guide."

When the general was selected, King An was surprisingly calm, and Chen Yu didn't say a word, His Majesty was suspicious of this, but he couldn't see the slightest clue. If Chen Yuzhen had a good personal relationship with the general and had a plan, it would be expected.

Xu Yan frowned slightly, suppressed the thoughts in his heart for the time being, and asked, "If what you said is true, and the two of them have a good personal relationship, it is also a private matter, why should Xu interfere?"

Chen Shao's tone was a little hurried, and he continued: "Lord Xu didn't know something, when the two of them met, the general gave Chen Yu something!"

"What?"

"Talisman!"

Xu Yan was stunned: "Soldier talisman? Haven't you already returned it to the prime minister?"

Just as he was asking this, Chen Shao suddenly got up, his face was full of indignation, and he said bluntly: "The lower official also has doubts, but he really saw it with his own eyes and had to believe that the things that the general handed over to Chen Yu were exactly the same as the military talisman that was handed back to the prime minister!"

Xu Yan's expression suddenly became much more solemn: "You can't talk nonsense, do you really see it clearly?"

Chen Shao swore and said: "The lower official dares to guarantee with his life, and what he said is true."

Xu Yan sighed, put down the tea cup in his hand, and lowered his head and groaned.

Chen Shao's mind was anxious, and he thought about striking while the iron was hot, and kept urging: "My lord, this matter must not be delayed, if these two people have a bad plot and have a military talisman in hand, the court will be in chaos!" Your Excellency, please go to the palace and report to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!"

Xu Yan still didn't speak, his afterglow swept over the people in front of him, only to see that he was extremely anxious and worried.

If what he said is true, Chen Yu is certainly ill-intentioned and can't stay for a long time, so what about him Chen Shao? He, a small criminal department official, why did he stare at Chen Yu's every move for no reason? What was his mind?

"Lord Xu?" Chen Shao saw that he was so calm and calm, and his heart was a little empty.

Person...... More city than he ever imagined.

Xu Yan raised his head, as if he had just come back to his senses, got up and held Chen Shao's hand, intending to make him feel at ease.

"Master Chen, don't panic, I will definitely report this matter to the Holy Lord." At this point, he paused, and when he spoke again, his voice became a little helpless: "It's just that Your Majesty is bedridden, and it is not yet known when I will be able to give you an answer, Lord Chen forgive me."

Chen Shao was secretly happy in his heart, this is already halfway? So he bowed his hand again and again: "Thank you, Lord Xu!"

When Chen Shao turned to leave, Xu Yan stared at this figure tightly, pondering in his heart.

This person has to be on guard.

On the way to the capital, it was still Qi Hui who was driving the car, and Xue Ji accompanied Qin Xu in the car, both of them rested with their eyes closed, without saying a word.

In the evening, the sunset is gradually setting, this fashion is on the mountain road, just take a look, the front is about to enter Xucheng.

Xue Ji opened the curtain and glanced at it, and said softly, "It's almost there."

City, do you want to stay for one night?"

Qin Xu slowly opened his eyes, pondered for a moment, and said, "No need, hurry back to Beijing."

Xue Ji answered, leaned forward and commanded Qi Hui, "You don't have to stay, hurry back to Beijing overnight."

"Okay."

The words fell, followed by a silent silence, except for the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of wheels rolling over dead branches and leaves.

The surroundings were surprisingly quiet, Xue Ji only felt that his eyebrows were jumping, and he looked left and right, but he couldn't see anything wrong. This suppressed the abnormal movement in his heart, closed his eyes and calmed down again to recuperate.

Suddenly, I heard a gust of wind in my ears, which made people feel creepy. Xue Ji suddenly raised his alarm bell, and half-raised his arm to cover Qin Xu's side.

Sure enough, a moment later, I heard an exclamation from outside, "Be careful!"

The carriage stopped, and a tremor was heard near his ears, Xue Ji hurriedly covered Qin Xu and lowered his head to avoid it, and when he looked up again, a feather arrow passed through the window on the left side and pierced directly into the wooden wall on the right.

There was a sound of fighting outside, and Xue Ji's heart also raised his throat, how could Qi Hui alone be able to defeat so many people...... Subconsciously looked at Qin Xu, only to see that his right hand was already on the short knife on his waist.

Xue Ji frowned, and hurriedly persuaded: "No, if there is a real fight, the minister and Qi Hui will be covered, you just have to leave."

Qin Xu raised his eyebrows and looked at him, chuckling, "You? Will you fight?"

"You can't be in danger!" Xue Ji frowned, and persuaded again in a deep voice.

At this moment, the door was slashed down, and another shout came from outside—"Be careful!"

Qin Xu ignored the obstruction and drew his knife to get out of the car, shook his arm and turned over to dodge, slashed at the oncoming black-clothed man with one palm, pinned his knife-holding hand, and then stabbed the short knife into his chest. As soon as this person's hand was released, the long knife fell into Qin Xu's hand, his eyes widened, and he collapsed in a pool of blood.

Qin Xu swept away, Xue Ji was already standing beside him, with the dagger he gave back then, and for a while Qin Xu didn't know whether to be moved or laughed.

"What can such a broken dagger do, wait."

As soon as the words fell, Qin Xu entangled with the two people who rushed in with lightning speed, swept it roughly, and put it on the ground, and Qi Hui was still holding back six or seven people. With the fight just now, these dead soldiers have raised their vigilance against Qin Xu, and it is not easy to win like Fang Cai.

"Don't any of you want to leave alive today." The leader shouted in a loud voice.

Xue Ji didn't tell a lie, he really didn't know anything about martial arts, so at this time, he could only rest a wooden plank from the broken car to block in front of him, or cover Qin Xu at the right time.

Seeing that Qin Xu pressed down a black-clothed dead soldier in front of him, he was about to block the other person who was killed from the side with his backhand, saying that it was too late and that it was too fast, Xue Jiyi gritted his teeth and swung a dagger and stabbed at the person Qin Xu had just let go, and snatched the long knife from his hand.

"That's good." Qin Xu breathed a sigh of relief and focused on stalemate with the dead man in front of him.

Now it is Qin Xu and Xue Ji who are the only one for him, and it seems to be a little easier, but Qi Hui's side is the top person, and when he looks at him, he is afraid that he is exhausted and will soon be difficult to resist.

Qi Hui blocked the knife that was slashing at him, and struggled several times to stop these dead soldiers from going to Qin Xu's side, until his eyes turned black and he was almost exhausted.

"Let's go! Don't bother with him!" Qi Hui shouted, obviously about to fall.

At this moment, Xue Ji turned around and rushed towards Qi Hui, shook away the two people on the side with a knife, and struggled to block in front of Qi Hui. "You cover him to go, I won't be martial, and I can't protect his safety if I take him away."

Several people present were stunned, and at this moment, Qi Hui blew a whistle without hesitation, and the horse, which was frightened by this battle, immediately dragged the damaged 'car' and galloped forward.

Qi Hui cut the rope tied to the car with a knife, turned over and jumped on the horse, and then stretched out his arms sideways, Qin Xu jumped and sat behind him.

How could the dead man in black allow the two of them to leave? Immediately left Xue Ji and galloped towards the galloping fast horse.

"Hugh away!"

Xue Ji's heart sank,

shouted, didn't care about life and death, slashed at the man in black with a knife, stopped several of him to death, and on his shoulders and arms, blood gushed out from the knife wounds, but he still didn't care about anything else, and he was in a stalemate with several people.

Seeing Qi Hui and Qin Xu swinging their swords and riding their horses away, the yellow sand was rolling behind them. There were no good horses beside the black-clothed men, so they only chased on foot, afraid that no matter how much they chased them, they would not be able to catch up.

Several people gritted their teeth and turned their heads and looked at Xue Ji in unison.

Xue Ji was holding a long knife, panicked in his heart, or frightened, and searched everywhere, as if he had nowhere to hide except for a mountain cliff.

One of the men in black was already full of anger, shook his shoulders, and walked towards him: "Good boy, bad me and other big things, I want to see what you can do!"

Xue Ji's heart was half cold, and when he closed his eyes, he had the meaning of resigning himself to fate.

At this moment, the blade was less than a palm's distance from his heart, but it was blocked.

The man in black led by him raised his arms, and the long knife on Xue Ji's chest fell to the ground. Xue Ji was stunned, opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him, his face full of doubts.

The man in black who was blocked was also taken aback, and looked back at his own leader, with disbelief written on his face.

"Chief, what does that mean?"

The man at the head slowly put his hand behind his back and sighed in a deep voice, "The top has ordered, just kill that Qin Xu and not hurt this person."

"Why?"

"I told you from above!"

The breeze blew up the blood-stained branches and leaves on the ground, kicking up billows of dust.

As soon as the leader's words came out, several black-clothed dead soldiers were shocked, and Xue Ji, who should have died here, was even more confused.

I saw that the man didn't want to be entangled anymore, and shouted in a low voice-

"Withdraw."

Several people looked at each other, very helpless, but finally listened to the order and left.

Apart from the blood on the ground, the broken wagon, and the lying corpses, there was no other trace.

Xue Ji opened his mouth, but all the voices were released.

He stroked the bleeding wound on his arm in disbelief for a moment.

Who would deliberately spare his life?
