After the cavalry team left, the leader of the escort of the convoy was still scolding and scolding, a small cavalry centurion dared to have such a presumptuous and rude attitude in front of their Jiangzhou Kong family, weren't they afraid of the Kong family's retaliation afterwards?

However, Ni Gongzi's thoughts were immersed in the explanation of the cavalry colonel just now.

Unexpectedly, the governor of Yanshan Pass was assassinated, and the murderer was the young man who attacked them before and snatched the horses.

At first, he even thought that the target of this cavalry team would be them, you must know that Tang Xuanfu of Yongping Mansion has been tense with them since he took office, and the relationship between him and the Jiangzhou soldiers and horses is incompatible, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will suddenly attack the four families through the army under the command of the soldiers and horses.

In the end, it turned out to be a false alarm.

Now the situation in Jiangzhou is far more complicated than the outside world imagines, to the top of the court, it is the dispute between the two factions in the imperial court, Tang Xuanfu's own strength in Jiangzhou is inseparable from the support of some scholars behind him, otherwise how would he blatantly suppress the four masters of the Confucius scholar platform.

Although Ni Gongzi has never paid attention to political matters, it is necessary for him to take a closer look when it comes to the survival of the family.

As long as Tang Xuanfu did not make a move, it means that the party struggle between the DPRK and China has not yet reached a real life-and-death situation.

However, due to the ill-informed relationship, he did not know that the relationship between Tang Xuanfu and the four major families had completely deteriorated to the point of no return.

The reason for this is that the Confucian scholars led by the four masters took the lead in violating the taboo of officialdom.

He secretly sent someone to intercept and kill Tang Xuanfu's family.

No matter what his reason is, once the officialdom starts killing people, there will be no bottom line for the party struggle between them.

If Tang Xuanfu's family members all die, it will naturally be difficult for Tang Xuanfu to have an attack without evidence, the problem is that the little girl saved by Chen An is enough to expose the conspiracy of the Confucian scholar, once Tang Xuanfu learns the whole story of this matter, it is conceivable how he will deal with the four families behind the Confucian scholar with the hatred of killing his wife.

Meanwhile.

The horses that Chen An had taken from the convoy were full of physical strength, and he still had the strength to go after half an hour of continuous galloping, and now he was very confident that he would flee to Yongping Mansion to find Tang Xuanfu's refuge before the pursuers caught up.

After another hour, he finally saw the outline of the towering city wall of Yongping Mansion in the distance.

However, the closer he got to Yongping Mansion, Chen An had an ominous premonition for some reason.

Outside the official road leading to Yongping Mansion, he saw many caravans lingering outside the city, it seemed that something had happened in Yongping Mansion in front of him, and when he arrived near the city gate, he found that Yongping Mansion was carrying out a strict inventory of the city like Yanshan Pass, and at the same time, the city gate was full of antlers, and the soldiers guarding the city gate were as many as 100 people, and the battlements above the city wall were full of soldiers holding bows and arrows looking down.

When the soldiers of the city wall noticed Chen An coming with guns and horses, they immediately became vigilant, and the soldiers who got the news at the city gate directly drove the caravan to the side, and instantly closed the antlers around him to block him.

"Who's coming ahead?"

The sudden change caused the business convoys outside Yongping Mansion to flee one after another, and for a time directly exposed the figure of Chen An riding a horse on the official road.

"I am the one who made a special trip to escort Tang Xuanfu's family to Yongping Mansion, and I hope to report it to Tang Xuanfu as soon as possible. ”

Chen An Lerma stopped, and then shouted about thirty meters away from the city gate.

As soon as the words came out, the soldiers outside the Yongping Mansion suddenly looked at each other for a while, and they exchanged their heads and ears, obviously a little confused.

At this time, Chen An noticed that two generals in armor appeared at the city tower and pointed at him, and after a while, someone on the city tower asked loudly. "Since you claim to be the person who escorts your family in Tang Xuanfu's mansion, do you have a certificate of passage?"

Worst!

Chen An felt bad when he heard it, because he fled in a hurry last night, he didn't go back to the house that Yin Cheng arranged for them at all, and Tang Xuanfu's official document to the little girl's mother and daughter was left in the carriage they were riding in at that time.

"The official document we waited for is now lost in Yanshan Pass, if you don't believe it, you can ask Tang Xuanfu to come over and tell him that his daughter is here now!"

In desperation, Chen An could only answer like this.

"A bold thief, he dared to pretend to be someone from Tang Xuanfu's mansion, and even took the opportunity to murder Governor Yin of Yanshan Pass, come and kill him with arrows!"

Unexpectedly, a general on the tower of the city suddenly pointed at Chen An and scolded angrily.

The next moment, arrows rained down like locusts, and the soldiers with bows and arrows on the city wall rushed to Chen An.

At the critical moment, Chen An quickly pulled the reins and turned the horse's head, and before the rain of arrows fell on him, he had already fled quickly on his horse, and at the same time waved the spear in his hand and flew away one arrow after another in front of him.

"You are so bold, you dare to murder Tang Xuanfu's daughter in broad daylight!"

After narrowly escaping the catastrophe, Chen An turned around, pointed his spear at the city tower in the distance, and said angrily.

"The thief still dares to quibble! Xiao Riding School, bring someone to kill him!"

The generals on the city tower also thundered.

After a while, a cavalry slowly walked out of the city, and after the soldiers guarding the city gate stepped forward to remove the antlers blocking the way, this cavalry immediately accelerated and rushed towards Chen An.

Damn it!

Chen An's eyes were red, and he directly rode his horse and fled backwards.

What the hell is going on?! Could it be that all the city defense generals in Yongping Mansion were bribed by Confucian scholars? Thinking carefully about what the other party said just now, how did that general know that he had killed Yin Cheng at Yanshan Pass? Could it be that someone in Yanshan Pass rushed to Yongping Mansion before this and deliberately prevented them from meeting Tang Xuanfu? But how should they explain to Tang Xuanfu afterwards?

He glanced at the frail and comatose little girl in his arms.

I just want to send you back to your father safely, but why is there so many accidents and troubles that come to such a simple matter?!

Chen An fled from Yongping Mansion not far away, but he saw a cavalry on the official road in the distance.

The pursuers of Yanshan Pass?!

Seeing that there are wolves in front of him and tigers behind, and the official road is full of staggered ridges, which is completely unsuitable for horses to ride, even if he wants to, he can't escape!

He slowly stopped his horse, then turned his horse's head back towards Yongping Mansion, and he looked up at the blue sky as he clenched the blackened iron spear in his hand.

Darkness spreads, despair grows.

In this cold, lonely, unforgiving world, it seems that the light has been forgotten.

He wails in pain and cries out in the abyss.

Is it true that only blood and fire can wash away all nightmares?
