I saw that the officers and soldiers on the first floor were like well-trained beasts, rushing towards the second floor, their iron armor flashing coldly in the light, and every step was accompanied by firm determination and unquestionable majesty. At the same time, the fighting on the second floor became more and more intense, as if it was a climactic movement of rivers and lakes. The heroes who had gathered on the second floor had now united into an intimate camp, and they used all kinds of magical martial arts to try to prevent the officers and soldiers from bringing the fugitives to justice.

Tai Hao was about to take advantage of the chaos to leave this place of right and wrong, but at this moment, a man suddenly jumped down from the second floor, and his figure drew a graceful arc in the air, which happened to land on the table where Tai Hao was. The man was dressed in black, his face was grim, and his eyes flashed with determination. When he landed on the table, he was unsteady and almost fell, but he managed to hold it steady with amazing perseverance.

The commander of the group of officers and soldiers just now recognized this man at a glance as the fugitive Diao Yi they were about to capture. He shouted at Tai Hao, "Catch him, catch him!" The voice was full of eagerness and command.

Taihao was slightly stunned, he never thought that he would be involved in such a dispute. However, as a righteous man with more than 20 years of experience as an official, he was full of sympathy and respect for those officers and soldiers. He decided to come to the aid of those officers and soldiers to catch the fugitive Diao Yi.

So, Taihao quickly showed a trick to "turn over the river and the sea". He moved his strength to the index and middle fingers of his right hand and pointed towards Diao. Suddenly, Diao Yi will be "fixed" on the table. A hint of surprise and unwillingness flashed in Diao Yi's eyes, but he couldn't move a bit.

The officers and soldiers were overjoyed when they saw this, and they ran down from the second floor one after another, clinging to Diao, who was already unable to move. Some of them even patted Tai Hao's shoulder excitedly to express their gratitude.

The chief's voice was as cold as ice, and he glanced at the man in black who was frozen, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking smile: "Diao Yi, see where you are going to flee this time?" All those who had just obstructed the arrest of the fugitives by the officials were arrested and brought to the yamen for interrogation. His words were filled with unquestionable authority and determination, as if all resistance would be futile.

As his words fell, dozens of knights hurriedly ran down from the second floor. Their eyes did not have sympathy or rescue for Diao Yi, but were full of panic and panic. They were not trying to rescue Diao Yi, but they were afraid that they would become the target of officers and soldiers and be mistaken for Diao Yi's comrades. So, they ran desperately towards the door, hurrying in their steps, for fear that they would be caught by the officers and soldiers if they ran late.

However, those officers and soldiers were no match for them. Despite their efforts to catch up, they were unable to catch the nimble knights. An officer and soldier shook his head helplessly at the commander: "My lord, they are running too fast, we really can't catch up." ”

The chief gave him a deep look and waved his hand: "Let them go, no need to chase." His gaze turned to Tai Hao again, and a grateful smile appeared on his face: "This hero, thank you for your help." Dare to ask for your name? When the official returns to the Yamen, he will definitely reward you for your merits to the lord of the city. ”

Tai Hao waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "No need, it is what we should do to cooperate with the government to arrest the fugitives." His voice was calm, but it was firm and confident.

When the chief heard this, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes: "If the people of Yichuan City are like heroes, why don't you have to arrest this fugitive until now." Dare to ask if the hero is from out of town, right? ”

Tai Hao nodded: "Exactly, I came from Taotang Mountain." ”

When the chief heard this, a hint of color flashed in his eyes: "This official's name is You You, and he is a judicial member of Yichuan City. If the hero encounters any trouble in Yichuan City, he can come to the yamen to find me at any time. His words were full of sincerity and kindness, as if Taihao had become his friend and ally.

Tai Hao's heart moved, he remembered the purpose of this trip, could he use the power of this judicial army to inquire about the clues of Tu Poison Mo? After all, You You, as a judicial officer of Yichuan City, joined the army, and should have a considerable understanding of the people and events in the city. So, he gently put down the wine glass in his hand, turned his gaze to You You, and asked with a little expectation and caution: "You You joined the army, and there is something to ask for below." ”

When You You heard this, he looked up at Tai Hao, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes: "What does the hero need help from this official?" Even so. ”

Tai Hao took a deep breath and slowly said the request in his heart: "I went to Yichuan City this time to find an old man from the north named Tu Poison Mo, who is also a martial artist, probably more than sixty years old. I wonder if You has ever heard of this person's name when he joined the army? ”

You You frowned, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "This official has been in Yichuan City for many years, but he has never heard of a man named Tu Poison Mo. I wonder what the hero is looking for him? ”

When Tai Hao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, but he quickly adjusted his emotions and responded: "Since that's the case, it's okay, thank you for joining the army." He didn't want to reveal too much information about Tu Poison Ink, after all, it involved his private affairs and purposes.

Seeing this, You You didn't say anything more. He stood up and said, "If the hero needs help in other places, he can go to the yamen to find this official at any time." After speaking, he turned around and led the officers and soldiers to escort Diao Yi out of the wine shop.

Looking at the back of You You and the other officers and soldiers leaving, Tai Hao smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass again and tasted the wine and food. As if all the strife and distraction just now had nothing to do with him.

After eating and drinking, Taihao patted his stomach with satisfaction, took out a few silver coins from his arms, put them on the table, and then leisurely got up and left the wine shop. However, when he pushed open the door and prepared to step onto the stone path, he found that the weapon rack outside the door was empty, and his long sword was missing.

Tai Hao's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he turned to look at the shopkeeper who was standing outside the door, with a little coldness in his tone: "Where is my sword?" Who took it? ”

The shopkeeper was taken by Taihao's momentum, and replied with a stammer: "Sword? I didn't see where your sword went, you took it yourself, did you? ”

Tai Hao frowned, he knew that he had put the long sword on the weapon rack before entering the wine shop, and the shopkeeper was also present at that time. There was a bit of anger in his tone: "What do you mean by this, it was obviously you who watched me put the long sword here just now." ”

The shopkeeper's face was a little pale, and he tried to justify: "There were so many knights who ran out at once just now, maybe one of them took the wrong one." ”

Tai Hao sneered, his eyes were like knives: "Now the weapon rack is empty, even if you take it wrong, you will leave a weapon, was it stolen or was it taken by which knight?" ”

The shopkeeper was forced to retreat step by step by Taihao's gaze, his face changed, and his voice was a little flustered: "You ask me?" Where would I know! ”

Taihao was stunned in the face of the shopkeeper's pretending to be stupid, and the anger in his heart was as uncontrollable as a storm. He fought back his anger and pondered his next move. In this strange Yichuan City, he needs to find an official who can help him. Suddenly, he thought of the judicial army You You, maybe he could help him find the trace of Tu Poison Ink.

After making up his mind, Taihao left the wine shop without hesitation, turned over his horse, and went straight to the yamen of Yichuan City. His mood was eager, as if an invisible force was pushing him forward.

When he came to the yamen, Taihao tightened the reins, and the horse neighed and stopped. He straightened his shirt and walked towards the official guarding the door, revealing unquestionable firmness in his tone: "I want to find a judicial soldier in the army, can you report it." ”

The official glanced at Tai Hao, and saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied: "You You joined the army and was not in the yamen, he went to the prison and tried the prisoners." ”

"Thank you." Taihao nodded, secretly glad in his heart. He was about to turn around and leave, and went to the Yichuan City Prison to continue looking for You You. At this time, a man's voice suddenly sounded: "Lord Taihao? Are you Taihao-sama? ”

Taihao was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to look. I saw a middle-aged man walking briskly with a surprised expression on his face. He looked at Taihao carefully, and after confirming that it was correct, he stepped forward and gave a deep salute: "Lord Taihao, it's really a blessing!" I didn't expect us to meet here. ”

Tai Hao looked the middle-aged man in front of him up and down, his face was resolute and deep, and there was a familiar and indescribable sense of intimacy in his eyes. Tai Hao frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he asked tentatively, "May I ask who Your Excellency is?" ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, a happy smile appeared on his face. He bowed his hand and said, "Lord Taihao, don't you remember me?" In Xia Neng Jin, when in Wenchuan City, ......"

Hearing this, Tai Hao's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly realized: "Can Jin!" I remember, when you were in Wenchuan City, you were a soldier in the army and was in charge of city defense affairs. You helped me with some urgent military tasks back then, and we fought side by side. ”

When Neng Jin heard this, a smug smile appeared on his face. He nodded and said, "That's right, it's down there." I didn't expect Lord Taihao to remember Xiaguan, it's really an honor. Lord Taihao, I was transferred to Yichuan City two years ago and served as the general of the city. ”

Tai Hao nodded slightly, with a clear smile on his face, and said, "I see." ”

Neng Jin also smiled, his eyes were full of respect and closeness to Taihao, as if there was an unspoken tacit understanding and connection between them. He said with emotion: "Lord Taihao, you have really changed so much, I almost can't recognize you." However, when I walked over just now, I recognized you at a glance, and that unique temperament and majesty could not be imitated by any official. ”

When Tai Hao heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. He glanced at Neng Jin deeply and said, "General Neng Jin, you have won the award." I'm not an adult anymore, I've resigned from all my official positions, and I'm just an ordinary person. ”

When Neng Jin heard this, a trace of surprise and puzzlement flashed in his eyes. He frowned and asked suspiciously, "Lord Taihao, why did you resign from your official position?" Your position and influence in the imperial court are irreplaceable by any official. After you resigned, didn't you lose a lot of power and resources? ”

Taihao smiled slightly and shook his head. He looked up at the sky in the distance, his eyes flashed with determination, and said, "General Neng Jin, our pursuits and choices are different. For me, although the road to the rivers and lakes is full of challenges and unknowns, it is also more free and real. I am willing to use my strength and wisdom to protect those innocent lives and maintain justice and peace in the world. For me, official positions and power are just passing moments, and they can't really satisfy my heart. ”

When Neng Jin heard this, he couldn't help but feel a wave of respect and admiration in his heart. He glanced at Taihao deeply, nodded, and said, "Lord Taihao, your mind and ambition are really admirable." No matter where you are in the world, you are a role model and role model in your heart. ”
