Chen An will not forget the identity of the little girl, she is the daughter of Tang Xuanfu in Jiangzhou, the family of the imperial court officials, he does not believe that the officials of Qingzhou dare to ignore her identity, and let the green forest organization like the Salt Gang be brutalized unscrupulously.

However, he seriously underestimated Chen Qing's own energy and the darkness of the Cheongju government.

He found the yamen and loudly reported the little girl's house, but not only could he not even enter the official office, but was even expelled by a large group of officials; unwillingly, he tried to find Pang Shaoyuan, whom he had met before, but unfortunately the other party also chose to avoid it.

Back at the inn, the innkeeper refused to offer them, and finally found several inns.

Chen An understood that all this was done by Chen Qing, and no inn was willing to stay with them today, and maybe tomorrow the shops and vendors in the city would not even sell them food, because his purpose was to force Chen An out of Cheongju City.

His heart kept sinking.

The harsh reality lay in front of him, and he only had a deep sense of powerlessness.

Unconsciously, the carriage driven by Chen An came to the street not far from the city gate, and a group of stalking riders could be faintly seen behind him.

"Are you afraid?"

He stared at the gate in front of him and said with a blank face.

"I'm afraid...... But I trust my uncle to protect me. ”

Inside the carriage, the little girl said in a trembling voice.

Hearing this, Chen An raised his horsewhip, and then the carriage slowly drove out of Cheongju City.

Pang Shaoyuan stood on the city tower, looking at the figure of the carriage gradually leaving, he didn't know whether his choice was right or not, but people are selfish, in today's increasingly chaotic world, he just wants to take care of the people he cherishes around him, and he doesn't want to let his temperament provoke right and wrong.

In the short run, a team of horses galloped out of the city gate, led by Chen Qing himself.

"Chen Qing, what do you want to do?"

Pang Shaoyuan muttered to himself, then shook his head and walked down the tower.

......

Leaving Qingzhou City, along the official road all the way to the north, passing through Xin, Qi, Lu, Yun four states can reach the boundary of Jiangzhou, but this road is destined to be full of ups and downs, full of thorns, along the way trekking through mountains and rivers is not terrible, jackals, tigers and leopards are not terrible, terrible will always only be sinister people's hearts.

Passing by a trickling wooden bridge over a small river, Chen An suddenly stopped the carriage.

"Yaoyao. ”

"What's wrong with uncle?" said the little girl in the car nervously.

"Find a safe place to hide. ”

As he spoke, he took out two steel knives from the carriage and walked slowly to the bridge, looking at the smoke and dust rising in the distance.

The little girl who realized that the situation was not good hurriedly followed Chen An out of the carriage, she looked anxiously left and right, as if looking for a suitable place to hide, when she saw the shallow river in front of her, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the whole person slid down the grassy slope by the river in a panic, and then immediately hid under the wooden bridge.

"Uncle, I'm hiding. ”

"Remember, you are not allowed to say anything that happens. ”

"I ...... I know. ”

In front of him, a group of horsemen and whips chased after them, and at the other end of the wooden bridge, the speed of the opponent's horses began to slow down and gradually stopped.

In the end, there is only a bridge between them.

"It's not going to work. ”

Chen An clearly saw Chen Qing, who was the leader on the other side, and his response was only two knives and a word.

"Actually, we shouldn't be enemies. ”

Chen Qing rode on his horse and looked condescendingly at Chen An on the other side of the bridge, considering his strength that had almost completely destroyed the Qingfeng Thief, if he could, he really didn't want to have a direct bloody conflict with the other party.

"From the very beginning, our positions have decided that there is no room for compromise between us. Chen An said coldly.

"You can take the liberty of asking, why do you have to protect her?" Chen Qing shook his head and sighed.

"And I also want to ask you, why do you want to kill them?" Chen An asked rhetorically, clenching the hilt of his knife.

"That's why I said, you really don't understand anything. Chen Qing's face sank and said. "I think you should be a young man who has not been out of the temple for a long time, right? I used to be as young as you, when I first entered the rivers and lakes, but whenever I encountered injustice, I would have the mentality of chivalry and righteousness, you thought that you represented justice, and were willing to give your life for justice, but have you ever thought about whether the justice you insist on is really right?"

"What the hell do you want to say?" Chen An said.

"Didn't you ask me why I wanted to exterminate Tang Xuanfu's family? I can tell you the truth now, because Tang Xuanfu was ready to take over his wife and daughter and defect to Hu Lu in the North, and his wife and daughter secretly brought out something important from the Jingshi, which is related to his future advancement in the Bei Dynasty, and even the life and death of the entire Great Departure Dynasty!"

Chen Qing stared at Chen An and said sonorously word by word.

"If things are as you say, why doesn't the court know about Tang Xuanfu, but you green forest robbers jumped out one by one when they got the news?"

Chen An was shocked when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down, he carefully analyzed the other party's statement, and there was strong sarcasm in his words.

"Of course someone in the imperial court knows, otherwise how do you think we got the news?" Chen Qing looked at him deeply. "It's just that everyone wants to keep the preciousness of that kind of thing for themselves, so Tang Xuanfu's matter was deliberately concealed. ”

There is no doubt that the amount of information revealed by Chen Qing's words made Chen An fall silent.

"Is this what you're talking about?"

He suddenly took out the sword-like silver strange token from his bosom and said.

"That's it! Give it to me!"

As soon as Chen Qing saw the token, he immediately lost his former composure, and his breathing became short.

"Let us go, and I'll give it to you. ”

Chen An's expression was indifferent, as if he didn't care about what the token in his hand meant.

Chen Qing was slightly stunned, his face instantly became cloudy, and he seemed to be a little hesitant, after a long time, he took a deep breath and nodded.

"Yes. ”

"Uncle can't!"

The little girl hiding under the bridge suddenly let out a scream of disapproval, she desperately drilled out of the bottom of the bridge, and rushed to Chen An's side with a rolling belt, her big round eyes were full of tears, she pulled Chen An's hand, and said with a small face that was extremely anxious and panicked.

"Uncle! Mom once said to Yaoyao that this token is related to the safety of the people of the world and the dawn, and it must not be handed over to any bad person except for my father!"

The sudden change made the attention of the people around him all focus on the little girl, especially Chen Qing immediately laughed out loud after hearing what the little girl said.

"Haha! Tang Xuanfu's daughter, don't you know? Your father is a hypocritical and shameless villain who is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, opens his mouth to the common people, and closes his mouth to the world, but in fact he forgets his ancestors and betrays the country to seek glory!"

"I don't want you to say that about my father!"

The little girl suddenly faced Chen Qing and cried loudly.

"Brother Chen, I can solemnly promise you, if you are willing to give me the token, I will definitely let you go, and swear by my name of Xuanzhou Chen Qing!"

However, Chen Qing didn't pay any attention to the little girl, and his eyes were on Chen An.

"Uncle ......"

On the side, the little girl took Chen An's hand and looked up and begged.

Chen An patted the little girl's head, and said with a calm face: "Go and wait for me in the carriage." ”

"Uncle......" But the little girl still didn't let go.

"Go!"

Chen An immediately said sharply.

"Uncle ......"

The frightened little girl immediately let go of her hand, and then turned back to the carriage crying and shouting.

"Can you tell me what it is?"

After the little girl left, Chen An took the token in his hand and shook it at the other party.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, this is the most critical treasure that is rumored to record the location of Zuo Gong's secret treasure. Chen Qingdao.

More than 200 years ago, at the beginning of the founding of the country, the biggest enemy of the Dali struggle to dominate the world was the Zuo Gong Zuo Xing Division, which divided most of the northern territory, and finally each other in the battle of Fenglingdu to decide the victory or defeat of the two countries, the Da Li Dynasty achieved a comprehensive victory, and the Zuo Xing Division was defeated at the time, he sent his henchmen to bury all the massive gold and silver treasures that had been looted for many years in a secret place, and handed over the three important things that revealed the location of the treasure to the only bone and blood that he secretly sent to flee overseas, in order to take out the treasure and seek a comeback in Shandong when the world was in turmoil in the future.

Clinker escorted the bones and blood of the left division to go overseas henchmen subordinates learned the secret of the treasure after the intention of infighting, the only bone and blood of the left division unfortunately died, the rest of the subordinates who snatched three treasures were scattered and fled, but unfortunately this news was not concealed after all, and then under the years of investigation, the great departure dynasty only collected two treasures to open the treasure, over time, the rumors of the secret treasure of the left prince also spread, accompanied by the other two treasures after the crack of the two ballads.

Therefore, when the last treasure rumored by Zuo Gong's secret treasure quietly appeared, the entire Dali Dynasty became turbulent, especially when it was learned that the treasure was in the hands of Tang Xuanfu's wife and daughter, you can imagine how many pairs of eyes were staring at them.

For Chen An, he doesn't care about the so-called secret treasure at all, he always only cares about the safety of himself and the little girl.

Although the little girl tried to dissuade him from handing over the token, this token is a hot potato, and whoever holds it in his hand means that he needs to face endless dangers.

A drink and a peck, all have a fixed number.

"I hope you can guarantee that what you say is true. ”

Chen An grabbed the token and threw it at Chen Qing on the other side of the bridge.

Chen Qing took the token with his hand, his face couldn't help but look happy, but he instantly froze with his smile after fiddling with the token.

Because, the token made him accidentally break it.

"Fake?!"

He looked up at Chen An suddenly, and said angrily as if he had been greatly humiliated.

"Kill this bastard for me!"

With an order, the rider behind Chen Qing suddenly raised the sword in his hand and killed Chen An.
