There was a moment of silence on the street below the inn, and the pedestrians and vendors raised their heads, looked at the shouting place with a hint of astonishment, saw Chen Changsheng, and then heard his next sentence.

"I'm Chen Changsheng. Su Li was in the room behind me, whether he wanted to kill him or save him, everyone who was going to come hurriedly. ”

Just like the previous sentence, this sentence is also floating in the bright spring Xunyang City, floating extremely fast and far, I believe that it will soon go out of the city, to all parts of the mainland. Countless pairs of eyes fell on the window of the inn and on Chen Changsheng's face, and the streets of Xunyang City continued to be quiet for a while, and then they were broken by a noisy sound, ushering in a chaos!

There was the sound of porcelain bowls falling to the ground and breaking into eighteen pieces, the sound of windows being closed almost violently, the shouts with crying voices, the childish voices of children full of doubts, the sound of parents beating and scolding, the sound of horses' hooves rushing into the distance, and even the faint trembling of the heavy city gate closing in the distance!

In just a moment, all the pedestrians and vendors on the streets of Xunyang City disappeared, and the long street became empty, leaving only waste paper wrapped in oil cakes floating on the street, and a few wisps of smoke and dust drifting from the city gate in the distance. Xunyang City seems to have become an empty city in an instant - not all empty cities are schemes, and sometimes an empty city means that it is a dead city, or it will become a dead city later.

Chen Changsheng stood by the window, looking at the silent and uninhabited streets, listening to the voices of people who were fading away, and looking at the timid peeping eyes in the cracks of those closed doors, stunned and speechless. He couldn't understand why he had caused such a big commotion just by shouting Su Li, and vaguely, he felt as if he had done something wrong, or that he had underestimated it.

In Xunyang City in late spring, the wind passing through the streets and alleys should have been slightly warm, but at this time, the stove next to the road has been extinguished, and there is no population, so the wind is a little more chilly, Chen Changsheng subconsciously closed the window again, looked back, and saw Su Li sitting on the chair, a little helpless and a little mocking and asked, "Scared?"

Chen Changsheng's voice was a little nervous, and he said, "It's just a gamble." ”

Su Li's left hand held the yellow paper umbrella at some point, and his right hand gently tapped on the armrest of the chair, looked into his eyes and said, "Then I can sue you now, you ...... The bet was lost. ”

......

......

Su Li was here, and these four words spread throughout Xunyang City at an unimaginable speed, and even the fastest Red Eagle or Red Goose in the Great Zhou Army had no way to intercept the news back. Xunyang City is dead silent, but behind the dead silence is real chaos, I don't know how many ordinary people's dishes have suffered, I don't know how many people have lost their feet.

The most tense place in the atmosphere, of course, is the inn where Su Li and Chen Changsheng are, this inn is also the source of this chaos, the guests who dine run away as fast as possible, and many of the tourists who live in the inn can't even take their luggage, so they disappear with the flow of people, and even the innkeeper and the little two have already sneaked away.

At this time, the inn was silent, and there were tables and chairs lying upside down everywhere, looking like a mess. Only against the wall of the counter, there is also a settler settling, the settler eyebrows upside down, looking a little shabby, a long shirt on the body is extremely clean, but even more shabby, I don't know if it is too shabby, he is reluctant to do this job, even at this time has not left the inn, still standing behind the counter playing with the abacus, calculating the accounts.

The news has already spread, and people are naturally coming one after another. To Chen Changsheng's little joy, it was the people of the state religion who came first.

The bishop of Xunyang City is the northernmost bishop of the state religion in the mainland, with a very high rank and great authority, the current bishop of Xunyang City is called Hua Jiefu, who is a close confidant of the Pope, so his status in Xunyang City and even the entire Tianliang County is extremely respected, whether it is the Lord of Xunyang City or the palace, he rarely needs to visit in person, but today he must come to this inn in person, and the attitude of the expression Xiàn came out, so that the whole Xunyang City is a little uncomfortable.

Hua Jiefu did not let the dozens of priests who accompanied him enter the inn, stood in front of the stone steps and tidied up his red clothes, and walked in alone, looking very low-key, and even faintly humble. If Su Li hadn't been seriously injured and his life was short, this respect would naturally be given to him, but now, this respect was given to Chen Changsheng.

Chen Changsheng is now the dean of the Anglican Academy, and in the words of Archbishop Merissa, within the Anglican Church, he does not need to salute anyone except the Pope, on the contrary, others should salute him. It's just that a cardinal with a distinguished status respectfully saluted him, which still made him very uncomfortable, and subconsciously turned sideways.

Hua Jiefu straightened up, didn't even look at the closed door next to him, and said to Chen Changsheng: "We just learned the news that you are still alive, but we can't confirm it, it is really a joy to see you today, I believe that after this news reaches Kyoto, His Holiness the Pope will also be very happy, and countless people will look forward to your return in Kyoto." ”

The words were not finished, but they were straight enough, and the bishop went straight to the point and asked Chen Changsheng to leave Xunyang City. If Chen Changsheng agreed, the Xunyang City Sect Hall would undoubtedly send a powerful escort, and even Hua Jiefu would personally escort him.

Chen Changsheng looked at the closed door, was silent for a moment, and then said, "You know, I'm in a bit of trouble right now. ”

"I confess that this gentleman is indeed a great trouble, perhaps even the biggest in hundreds of years. Hua Jiefu glanced at the door and said, "But this is not your trouble, nor is it the trouble of the state religion, if you insist on staying in this inn, this trouble will become bigger and bigger, until it is too big for me to solve." ”

Chen Changsheng asked, "Those ...... When will the trouble arise?"

"Soon, and news came from Kyoto that someone from Huaiin might have come to the Northland, and I can't confirm his identity for the time being, but it's certain that it's a big trouble. ”

Chen Changsheng was silent for a while and asked, "Can't I take Mr. Su back to Kyoto with me?"

Hua Jiefu didn't need to think, and said directly: "I didn't say anything about the palace. ”

Chen Changsheng was silent again, and understood what he meant - it had been a while since he met those two assassins and Xue He, and the palace had definitely known about Su Li and him, but they only asked the subordinate sect hall to escort Chen Changsheng back to Beijing, and did not mention anything about Su Li, which already represented the attitude of the palace.

"I might have to wait a little longer at the inn. ”

"We're sure we're keeping you safe, but there's no way we can protect this gentleman just because you're going to protect this gentleman in the house, and you should understand that it's not fair. ”

"Yes. ”

Chen Changsheng looked at Hua Jiefu and said, "So you can assume that you don't know that I'm in Xunyang City." ”

Hua Jiefu said: "But you are in Xunyang City, and how long do you want to stay? Everyone's troubles must be solved by themselves after all, not to mention that the gentleman himself is a trouble." ”

Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "I want to wait until someone from the Lishan Sword Sect comes, or...... There are people he trusts and who have the ability to protect him. ”

Hua Jiefu said with emotion: "Everyone in the world knows that Su Li has never believed in people...... He has no friends, none of them, and when are you going to wait for such a person to show up?"

"Maybe...... But I always felt that someone should be willing to help him. ”

After saying this, Chen Changsheng turned around and walked towards the room.

Hua Jiefu suddenly said behind him, "You probably don't know yet...... Something is going on outside the garden and you really need to go back to Kyoto to solve it. ”

Chen Changsheng stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

Hua Jiefu said: "Liang Xiaoxiao is dead. ”

Chen Changsheng didn't expect to hear such news, and after being stunned, he said, "He is a spy of the demon clan, who killed him?"

Hua Jiefu's expression was a little complicated, and he said, "He said that he was killed by you." ”

Chen Changsheng was taken aback and asked, "What did he say?"

"Yes, although he did not say it before he died, everyone knew what he meant. Hua Jiefu looked into his eyes and said, "He died under the last form of the Lishan Sword Sect Sword, and there are only seven swordsmanships in the Zhou Garden who can do this." ”

Chen Changsheng was stunned, unable to understand what was going on.

Hua Jiefu finally said: "Liang Xiaoxiao said that you and the folded sleeves are the spies of the demon clan, fold the sleeves...... Already in prison for a week. ”

Hearing this, Chen Changsheng was silent for a long time, he knew that he had to go back to Kyoto as much as possible, but how could he get there now? He looked at the closed door and felt that he was in trouble.
