Chapter 286: Entering the city in disguise
Ahead it was a forest, and the grass and trees were shaking.
Xu Xifeng glanced not far away, "Out of Xiaomuzhuang, I feel that there is a lot of breath around me. ”
"Shi Yijian will not openly violate his brotherhood with Bai Mu Yao, so he did not send someone to blatantly break into Xiaomu Village, but he arranged his eyeliner and ambush soldiers around here." Situ Nanyun said.
Shi Yuer's heart is a little pantothenic, for Bai Muyao, Shi Yijian still cares about brotherly love, but for her daughter, except as a tool for his murder, she has never had half of the father-daughter relationship.
"Maybe Bai Mu Yao is his only brother, so he retains his three points of affection." She said quietly.
"Also, the third prince Yan Yujun has just ascended the throne, and Shi Yijian has finally looked forward to this day, how can he be careless? He is currently sitting in the palace to deal with the ensuing assassination of the Wind Sect, so I will hold it off. Situ Nanyun continued.
"Shi Yijian in the palace? Is this news reliable? Xu Xifeng asked.
"Bai Mu Yao told me." Situ Nanyun said.
"Bai Mu Yao?" Xu Xifeng was a little surprised, "I can't see it, he is quite well-informed." ”
"He is too familiar with Shi Yijian, and in addition, he also has his own sources, so he naturally knows his actions and plans." Situ Nanyun explained.
"If that's the case, he put the heavy troops of the Ten Palaces Yama in the palace, so naturally there is no need to worry here." Xu Xifeng said happily.
"It's better to be cautious, I've sent a signal, Qingying and they should be with us soon, as long as we get to the Wind Sect, we will be safe." Situ Nanyun said.
Shi Xiao'er walked on her own, and when she reached the fork in the road, she waved her hand at the three of them, "I'll say goodbye to you, and there will be a period later." ”
She has obtained the medicine to control the love poison, and her life is worry-free, plus, now the Wind Sect and the devil will not embarrass her, she has a place to go, and she does not want to go to the Wind Sect.
"Since you are not with us, there are a few words, I advise you, Shi Yuer Zhengse instructed: "Don't repeat the mistakes of the past, stay away from ghosts, and find an ordinary person to marry, which is your best destination." ”
"I see, don't be wordy." Shi Xiao'er listened a little impatiently, and glanced at Shi Yu'er, "Keep your life well, if I fall in the future, I will have someone to rely on." ”
Seeing Shi Xiao'er walking away so proudly, Shi Yu'er was a little messy in the wind.
As they passed through the grove, a group of men in black came out to attack them.
However, these people's skills were too far behind the Ten Palaces Yama, and the three of them sent them away in a few moves.
"It's a quick battle." Situ Nanyun wiped the blood on the Yinyue Sword and returned the sword to its sheath.
"Could it be that Yun'er still wants to have another time with the people of the Ten Palaces of Yama?" Xu Xifeng quipped.
"That's not it, just now it just happened to confirm that Shi Yijian really focused on the defense of the palace, these people are just suspicious soldiers who interfere with our vision, and they really don't have to worry." Situ Nanyun smiled lightly.
Although there were obstacles along the way, the three of them passed smoothly, and they saw that they were about to arrive in Yandu.
At this time, in the city of Yandu, it was the time of ice and fire.
In the past few days since the three princes ascended the throne, the red carpet in the city for ten miles, the pennant fluttered, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere. But because of the regency of the three princes, the people of Yandu were very dissatisfied with him, and because of the secret activities of the Fengzong people, many of Yan Yujun's evil deeds were exposed, and there were frequent visions in the city, indicating that a catastrophe would come, and many people began to move their families away from Yandu, and the business of Yandu was actually depressed, and the number of unemployed and homeless people on the streets increased.
The current Yandu is calm on the surface, but in fact, the struggle between Fengzong and the ghosts and the three princes has become white-hot, and the atmosphere is tense, and the open and secret battles are continuous.
In addition to the fight between Fengzong and the demons, some radical people joined the volunteer team organized behind the scenes of Fengzong, and these civilian volunteers invaded the official office many times, and found out many bureaucrats and their lackeys who were bullying and domineering.
This caused panic in the Yandu government.
Yandu is imminent, Xu Xifeng looked at the city gate guarded by the soldiers, "The gate of Yandu is in front, we had better turn into ordinary people and enter the city." ”
Situ Nanyun nodded and said, "That's right, Shi Yijian must have arranged heavy troops at the city gate, and when we enter the city, we will throw ourselves into the net." ”
Shi Yu'er looked around and found an ox cart parked under the elm money tree not far away, and was overjoyed, "There is an ox cart parked over there, it should be going into the city to rest here, let's go over and take a look, and I may borrow his ox cart and clothes." ”
There happened to be a farmer and two women, an old man and a young woman, sitting on the ox cart, Situ Nanyun explained his intention and gave them a few taels of silver, and without saying a word, they handed over the clothes and the ox cart to them.
Shi Yu'er dressed herself up as a village girl in three or two clicks, and Xu Xifeng couldn't help but praise: "The deputy master's disguise technique is very powerful. ”
"Of course, if you grow up in the dirt of the devil, how can you not know how to disguise?" Shi Yuer said with a smile.
Situ Nanyun also came out of the carriage, and Shi Yuer said, "Miss Situ's disguise technique is not bad. ”
Situ Nanyun smiled modestly, "My disguise technique can be used, but it is far worse than yours." ”
When Xu Xifeng came out, he just changed his clothes and messed up some of his hair, although he had a small beard on his mouth, he was still elegant and graceful on the whole, which was extremely incompatible with this coarse cloth clothes, and it looked funny.
"Xifeng, it's easiest for you to attract attention when you go out like this." Situ Nanyun leaned against the elm money tree and covered her mouth and laughed.
"Yes, it seems that Xu Gongzi needs a helper to improve it." Shi Yu'er also pursed her lips lightly.
Xu Xifeng felt that he was not the material for this disguise, and said with kindness: "Ahem, then there are two masters." ”
"Miss Shi help, I'll take a break." Situ Nanyun said lazily.
So when Xu Xifeng came out again, a dark-skinned and vulgar-looking crop man appeared alive.
Situ Nanyun used the Silver Moon Sword to use Xu Xifeng as a mirror, "How is it?" ”
"I almost don't recognize myself anymore." Xu Xifeng couldn't help but exclaim, "It's still the deputy master's skills." ”
"Alright, we're done, let's go into the city." Shi Yuer said with a smile.
Although the soldiers at the gate of the city were very strict, and the city walls were also plastered with portraits of Situ Nanyun and other main figures of the Yiganfeng Sect, the three of them still passed smoothly.
As soon as he entered the city, Situ Nanyun looked at the shop with the red silk and commented: "There is a picture of joy and peace everywhere in the city. ”
"The three princes ascended the throne, and these are naturally indispensable." There was a hint of mockery on the corner of Xu Xifeng's mouth.
"But it's lively, and I always feel like there's less popularity, and you see there's no one on the street." Shi Yuer then wondered.
"I've noticed before that many people have moved out of Yandu now, so they feel a little colder." Situ Nanyun replied.
"It seems that this excitement is just an exterior scene, but in fact it is empty inside." Xu Xifeng said with emotion.
Situ Nanyun thought it was a good thing, and smiled faintly, "Actually, it's not very safe for the people to stay in Yandu, so it's good to leave early." ”
Xu Xifeng nodded in agreement, "Yes, there will be a day when the Feng Sect and the Demon Demon will fight to the death, and this day will not be far away, and when the time comes, these people will inevitably not be affected." ”
Shi Yu'er pondered their words and didn't make a sound.
"Miss Shi, if that day comes, will you help your father?" Situ Nanyun looked at her and said.
"No, since the day I left the devil, he is him, and I am me." Shi Yuer did not hesitate and said calmly.
Situ Nanyun looked at her, "Well, Miss Shi is really a woman who loves and hates clearly, I admire you for having the courage to give up everything." ”
"Vice Master, she has always been a woman I respect." Xu Xifeng boasted.
"Okay, I'm a little embarrassed to be praised by both of you at the same time." Shi Yuer's brows shrugged.
A faint sound of footsteps could be heard behind him.
"Be careful, there's someone coming from behind." Situ Nanyun sighed.
"There are a lot of people on the streets, and they shouldn't be here for us." Xu Xifeng pondered.
"No, they seem to be going the other way." Shi Yuer said.
Situ Nanyun looked back, "They look like officials, they seem to be chasing someone." ”
"Let's go to the Xianfeng Inn of the Wind Sect, and we can find out." Xu Xifeng said.
Just as a few people were walking forward, suddenly another large group of officers and soldiers came in a murderous manner, surrounding all the people on the street.
"From today onwards, the people from other places will stop and will not be allowed to enter the inner city." The first person read aloud the approval of the government.
"What's going on?" Shi Yu'er muttered.
Situ Nanyun looked at the inner and outer cities, which were separated by only a moat and there was no clear distinction, "It's obvious that they are targeting us. ”
At this time, some soldiers began to check the identity documents of the people on the street, and the other people from other places were filled with indignation.
"This is not killing people, I made a special trip to the city to purchase materials, do you want to go back empty-handed, how can I pay to the shopkeeper when I go back."
"If you don't let us into the inner city, do you want us to go home?"
"Besides, it's getting late now, and it's not halfway back when it's dark."
"yes, yes."
There was a lot of grumbling in the crowd, but no one dared to oppose the officers and soldiers with sharp blades, so they had to go back silently.
At this time, Situ Nanyun and the three of them were dressed as farmers who came to the city from other places, so they naturally couldn't enter the inner city with such an identity.
"Looks like we won't be able to get into the inner city tonight." Shi Yu'er frowned.
"Don't worry, they are trapping ordinary people, but they can't trap us." Xu Xifeng's eyes flashed, "It's not early now, let's find a place to eat in the outer city now, and I have a way to enter the inner city at night." ”
"Okay, by the way, I'm also there to find out about the situation in Yandu these days." Situ Nanyun continued.
The three of them entered a restaurant called "Supreme Guest", and when the first floor was full, they sat down in a window position on the second floor.
However, the second floor is almost full.
Most of the guests who came here were businessmen who were trapped in the outer city like Situ Nanyun and them, and the sound of people talking at a table nearby reached the ears of several people.
"Now that the third prince has ascended the throne and become the emperor, the life of the people will not be easy."
"But no, when the new emperor was still the regent, he began to expropriate violently, and his domestic slaves were all flying and domineering, and their carriages killed many people on the streets, and the people complained a lot about the new emperor."
"Also, it is said that when the new emperor was not yet on the throne, he was already searching for beauties among the people, and many women from good families were robbed into the palace."
"That's not all, what is even more hateful is that the city gate is blocked once every three days and two days, and the people outside cannot enter the city, and the people inside cannot leave the city, which is really hateful."
"Yes, you see that the inner city will be sealed today."
