【Resonance, Beginning】

In the depths of winter, the snow is flying, and the houses in Yanshuang Town are covered with thick snow, and a few transparent icicles like swords are formed under the high raised eaves.

The roadside cake stalls were steaming hot, and some shivering people were walking down the street with hot sweet potatoes in their arms.

In front of the gate of the town, Bai Yuege, the imperial envoy of the superintendent, rode a red hunting horse and walked slowly through the lonely streets.

He wore a hat, his face hidden in the shadows, and the hem of his long black robe fell unduly on the horse's back.

There were no officials to welcome Bai Yuege's arrival, and the four soldiers guarding the gate only hastily looked at the pass he presented, and only said that he was an ordinary merchant who was going to trade in Wulan County.

Bai Yuege was carrying a medicine box that seemed to be used to sell medicine Langzhong, and some people who happened to see him mistakenly took him for Jianghu Langzhong.

People with sick people in the family gathered in front of his horse and begged him to give him some medicinal herbs, and Bai Yuege really took out a few herbs from the box.

"Let it go, let it go!" a carriage escorting prisoners approached from a distance, its wheels rattling on the rough pavement and splashing a wave of snow.

"Idle people, wait a minute!" the shouting cavalry was followed by many officers and soldiers armed with red tassel guns.

Everyone followed and avoided, but Bai Yuege only turned the horse's head and looked at the prisoner in the cart.

"Look at it, you are a dead medicine seller. The cavalry brandished his horsewhip and yelled at Bai Yuege, "Why don't you give way quickly, be careful that Lao Tzu whips you!"

The person in the prisoner car was still wearing the black armor of a soldier, he glanced at Bai Yuege, then lowered his head and sighed, exhaling a wisp of white air.

"Hmm. Bai Yuege dismounted and stood aside, and when the escort passed in front of him, Bai Yuege took the horse again and quietly followed.

"Give it up!" echoed again, breaking the silence, and instead more people came out of the room to find out.

"What are you doing?" asked some of the surrounding foreigners from the Western Regions and the East Island in an awkward local dialect.

"Execute the Biansai Riders who cross the boundaries of the county without permission. Bai Yuege answered their questions as he walked past them, but when the foreigner was about to dig deeper, he had already gone away.

In the Eastern Imperial Kingdom, the Biansai Scattered Cavalry was to stay in the territory of the county for the rest of their lives, and anyone who crossed the border and returned to the boundary of the imperial territory without the approval of the upper echelons could be condemned to death.

When the team arrived at the entrance of the town's vegetable market, the torture platform that had been erected stood in the center, with four braziers placed next to it.

On a Taishi chair not far away sat the Yanshuang County Commander in a red official uniform and a black gauze hat.

"Take the prisoner Zuo Qingyun!" the chief bookkeeper of the county order sang, and the cavalry officer dismounted and untied the cage, took out the loose rider named "Zuo Qingyun", and escorted him to the execution platform.

"Zuo Qingyun, you turned your back on the county king without authorization and fled back to the Guannei Imperial Land, are you guilty?" the county commander pinched his mouse-like beard and said pretentiously, "As a side rider, this is a capital crime." ”

Zuo Qingyun bit his lips and tried to look up at the audience, and more and more people were piling up as if they were joining in the fun.

The town was deserted on weekdays, but it became bustling with the convicts, the curious gossiping, some women dragging their young children away, and the idlers squatting and munching on melon seeds as if they were watching a troupe perform.

Zuo Qingyun finally calmed down and said, "I came back at the risk of death to report something urgent!"

"Something important?"

The cavalry officer immediately walked in front of the county order, "When the prisoner was caught, he kept saying that the Ulan tribe had rebelled and the county king had been murdered. ”

"Oh, that's why you escaped?" the county commander disagreed, "You should assist the envoys of Ulan to suppress the rebellion and wait for the emperor's arrangement." ”

Zuo Qingyun was anxious when he heard this, "But it's ......"

"Has the county king allowed you to come back?" the county commander interrupted him unceremoniously, "Have you allowed the Zhenbei Overseer and other lords to come back?"

Zuo Qingyun was speechless for a while, and finally silently said "no".

"Therefore, breaking the law is breaking the law, and this official will not tolerate it. The county commander smiled, changed his words, and said, "But if you admit your mistakes sincerely and are willing to pay a price, you can also be lightly punished." ”

The implication is that this is still going to collect money, Zuo Qingyun couldn't help but scold, this fucking dog official, the people of the imperial land will suffer because of him!

"I don't have any money, my lord, I can die, but the Ulan rebellion must be told to the emperor, must be told to the emperor!" he shouted, the shackles rattling, but the next moment, the county magistrate made a gesture to the executioner in the audience.

"That's a pity. ”

At this moment, there were more and more onlookers, Bai Yuege walked through the flow of people unhurriedly, he put his right hand under the "medicine box", and quietly approached the execution platform.

When he was still more than ten meters away from Zuo Qingyun, the county commander said loudly: "It's noon!"

A wooden sign with the word "Chop" written on it was thrown out, and the muscular executioner had already walked behind Zuo Qingyun, who closed his eyes in despair, and the executioner raised the sharp decapitation knife above his head.

At the last moment, Bai Yuege took out a white bottle from the dark compartment of the box.

The decapitation knife stained with coagulated blood fell heavily, leaving a dark red afterimage in the air.

At the same time, the white bottle flew out from the White Moon Singer, passing through the tongue of fire on the brazier, and the bottle flew up to the high platform with flames!

"This ...... What is this?!"

When the executioner's beheading knife was only a millimeter away from his neck, the white bottle hit the blade, and a powerful force actually bounced the broadsword away, and the handle of the knife almost came out of his hand.

In the next moment, the white bottle smashed into pieces, and in the exclamation of everyone, countless bright sparks sputtered out of the bottle, just like a red lotus blooming proudly on a snowy night!

"What's the matter!" the county commander slapped his chair and stood up, the executioner fell backwards, and almost fell off the execution platform, and a group of officers and soldiers immediately picked up their knives and guns, "Who! Come out quickly!"

Zuo Qingyun opened his eyes and found that his head was still hanging safely around his neck, and the onlookers in front of him were so frightened that they fled in all directions.

The officers and soldiers could not calm them down no matter what, and the screams came and went, and the vegetable market finally had the appearance of a vegetable market.

"It's the other way around, it's the other way around!" the county commander hurriedly retreated to the rear under the cover of the cavalry officer.

And in the chaotic crowd, there was a man in black who wore a hat but did not retreat, but walked unhurriedly in the direction of the county order.

"That person!" The county magistrate found Bai Yuege, he vaguely felt that this person was extraordinary, and he immediately shouted at the people around him, "It must be that person, catch him, hurry up, damn shame!"

Bai Yuege stretched out her hand and lifted the hat, and the black silk scarf and cloak around her neck hunted.

He was about to speak, when the cavalry officer suddenly drew his sword, and the blade of the sword stabbed straight towards Bai Yuege's chest.

"Bold maniac!" the cavalry officer pressed forward step by step, beckoning to attack the vital point, "Your grandmother is tired of life!"

"You'll regret doing it to me. Bai Yuege suddenly raised the cloak, and the sharp sword passed through the cloth, and the cloak shrouded the head of the cavalry officer like a dark cloud.

"Wait, this!"

The cloak tightened and rolled around his head, almost suffocating his breath, and before his vision darkened, he saw a bronze token engraved with a gluttonous pattern hanging from Bai Yuege's waist.

The cavalry officer fell into the snow, and the long sword in his hand had been snatched back by Bai Yuege.

The county commander was so frightened that he sat down on the cold steps, and his voice trembled: "Who are you...... What the hell do you want to ...... What do you want?"

The officers and soldiers looked at each other one by one, and no one dared to stop them, so Bai Yuege walked in front of the county order and stared at the county order lukewarmly, and the master book next to the county order had already run away in fright.

"How can you guard the border in this way?" Bai Yuege finally spoke, "Sure enough, I can see more problems in my private interview. ”

He took off his hat and threw it beside the trembling county magistrate, "I said you would regret it, and I will report it to the court truthfully." ”

A token was revealed, and the gluttonous food on it seemed to open its fangs and prepare to hunt for food, and it was vividly depicted.

The county commander's face suddenly turned pale, and he no longer had the strength to stand up, he finally understood, and said in a hurry: "Supervision...... Shadow Blade ......"
