It was dusk, and the Ouchi guards were already too tired after a day's journey. I happened to arrive at the inn next to the official road and stopped to rest.

As soon as Wan Quji and Jiang Yu and Qi Yunhao stepped into the inn, they saw Yan Qinghan sitting in the lobby, with Mo Bai standing behind him, and he only ordered a cup of tea on his table, as if he was waiting for Wan Quji.

Jiang Wu and Qi Yunhao were also slightly stunned when they saw Yan Qinghan.

Wan Quji whispered to his subordinates to look at Qi Yunhao and the two of them to find a place to live, but they were blocked by Mo Bai.

"The last general will see the prince. Wan Qujian stepped forward and saluted, saying, "I don't know what the prince is doing here, I think the prince should still be in Daqi at this time." ”

Yan Qinghan looked at Wan Qujian in front of him, raised his eyes and said: "This should be the king asking Commander Wan, Commander Wan is the commander of the Great Interior, and he should be in the palace to protect the safety of his father at this time, but why did he appear in Lizhou?"

"I am on official business, so it is inconvenient to say more. Wan Quji said, "Please also ask the prince to make it convenient." ”

Yan Qinghan got up, looked at Jiang Wan and Qi Yunhao, chuckled, and said, "If this king is not mistaken, these two should be from the Qi family, right? Mrs. Qi and the second son of Qi, could it be that the father and the emperor suspect that the Qi family wants to rebel?"

Wan Quji didn't expect Yan Qinghan to recognize the two of them, so he was slightly stunned and became more vigilant.

He said: "The prince may have recognized the wrong person. ”

"This king's eyesight has always been good, and he will not admit mistakes. Yan Qinghan said.

Wan Quji and Yan Qinghan have always been at odds, and now like this, Wan Quji only moved out of the emperor when he came to provoke, and said: "This is the emperor's business, if the prince has to get involved, the emperor will blame him, and it will be difficult to explain in the end." ”

Yan Qinghan got up, took a step forward, looked at Jiang Wu and Qi Yunhao, and said: "My father has worked hard for the country, if I can help him share the burden, this is what I should do as a prince, so I want to know what is going on, I actually let my father go back on his word, obviously said that he would treat the descendants of the Zhenbei Army well, but now he will arrest people back." ”

Wan Qu said quickly: "I don't have to worry about this matter." ”

Yan Qinghan turned his head to stare at Wan Quji, and said seriously, "What if this king wants to take them away?"

His words didn't seem like a joke, nor did they seem to be just looking for trouble for himself, Wan Qujian narrowed his eyes slightly, and didn't answer for a while.

The whole inn was quiet, as if time had stood still, and even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly, and the guards were all looking at Yan Qinghan one by one, if he grabbed it hard, would they do it?

The emperor said that he wanted to ensure the safety of Jiang Wu, and all the other people who blocked him would be eliminated, so what if it was a prince?

Wan Quji brought fifty or sixty internal guards this time, and their martial arts are not weak, if they want to deal with Yan Qinghan, they have a great chance of winning.

"Lord Wang, this is not Chang'an. Wan Qujian broke the silence and said to Yan Qinghan.

This is not Chang'an, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, even if the prince dies here, no one will know.

Yan Qinghan heard the meaning of his words, and the corners of his lips hooked up a chuckle.

He said: "Could it be that the Commander of Ten Thousand still wants to kill this king?"

Wan Quji said: "The last general doesn't dare, just do things according to the orders of the saint, if the prince still wants to stop it, the last general can only offend." ”

Yan Qinghan nodded as if he didn't understand, then looked at the Ouchi soldiers behind Wan Quji, and asked, "What about you?"

Everyone was stunned, and they didn't react for a moment to what Yan Qinghan meant.

Wan Quji said: "They are my subordinates, so they naturally obey my orders. ”

Yan Qinghan asked, "Do you also agree with treating General Qi's family like this?"

Wan Qu snorted coldly and said: "It doesn't matter if you agree or disagree, the important thing is that this is the emperor's order, and you have to carry it out." ”

Some of the Ouchi guards hesitated, but they didn't speak.

Qi Yunhao said angrily on the side: "You don't have to say more, they are just a group of cold-blooded people, acting for the tiger, sooner or later they will be punished!"

The guard who was holding him on the side drew his sword and pointed it at him, Qi Yunhao snorted coldly and glared at the man.

No one answered, Yan Qinghan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Since this is the case, there is no need to say more." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a number of people came out of the inn, with long swords in their hands, looking like they had been prepared for a long time, waiting for them to be caught.

Wan Qujian said that it was not good, but there was no expression on his face.

Yan Qinghan walked in front of Jiang Wu and Qi Yunhao, and let go of their tied hands, while the inner guard next to him looked at him and didn't dare to move him for a while.

Finally loosened from the shackles, Qi Yunhao turned his head and stared at Wan Quji.

Wan Qujian knew very well in his heart that in the case of their equal numbers, if they moved, it would be impossible for the Ouchi guards to gain the upper hand, Yan Qinghan had been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and his ability was not small, and he couldn't fight hard for the sake of today's plan.

Even if he didn't bring Jiang Wu back this time, the emperor couldn't blame him, but was angry with Yan Qinghan, and even if he was the prince, he wouldn't be able to withstand the emperor's thunderous anger.

However, if they can't bring Jiang Wu back, and they leak this matter, the emperor will definitely not let them go of the Ouchi guard camp easily.

Wan Qujian looked at Yan Qinghan with heavy eyes, and he didn't know what he was calculating in his heart.

"I took the people away. Yan Qinghan said to Wan Quji, and let Mo Bai take Jiang and them out of the inn.

In the inn, the soldiers led by Yan Qinghan also followed behind and walked out, and the two teams of people and horses looked at each other like this, knowing that everyone walked out of the inn and stood opposite each other on both sides.

Wan Quji suddenly said: "The prince is not afraid of the emperor's blame?"

Yan Qinghan waved his hand and said, "If you can go back and report it." ”

As soon as he said this, the Ouchi guards all drew their swords and looked at Yan Qinghan vigilantly.

"The prince is openly against the emperor?" Wan Quji's voice was already impatient.

Yan Qinghan said, "When will you be able to represent your father?"

Qi Yunhao looked at this tense momentum, he pulled his mother back slightly, if they fought, he would still take advantage of the chaos to escape.

"It seems that the prince is not going to let us go today. Wan Qu said in a deep voice, and then ordered, "Brothers, today is either him or we die, up!"

As soon as he gave an order, the guards of the Ouchi raised their swords one after another and walked in the direction of Yan Qinghan and them, the sound of swords and swords, and the sound of weapons colliding kept ringing in their ears, and the originally quiet suburbs of the city suddenly became noisy.

The twilight sun was a little dazzling, sprinkling all the golden light on the ground, reflecting the shadows of their fighting.

Seeing that his subordinates were gradually restrained by Yan Qinghan's people and couldn't move, Wan Quji's eyes flashed, and he turned over his horse and was about to escape, Yan Qinghan hooked a long sword with his foot, volleyed up and stabbed in his direction.

Wan Qujian heard the sound of whistling behind him, he turned his head to look, and found that Yan Qinghan had actually chased after him, he clenched the reins and turned sideways to dodge. Yan Qinghan's expression was cold, and he stabbed the sword at the horse with his backhand, the pain frightened the horse, and he suddenly raised his hooves and kicked it, trying to throw it off the horse's back.

The frightened horse was not controlled at all, Wan Qujian had to kick the horse's back and turn over and fall, at this time Yan Qinghan held the sword and went up, the sharp sword blade stabbed towards Wan Quji's chest, Wan Qujian retreated, but he couldn't dodge, only heard the sound of his clothes tearing, and a long cut was made on his shoulder, and blood flowed out in an instant.

Yan Qinghan pressed forward step by step, Wan Quji's martial arts were not weak, but when he made a move with Yan Qinghan, he was still suppressed, but he suffered several swords, watching his momentum gradually weaken, Yan Qinghan slapped him on the chest, only to see Wan Qujian vomit a mouthful of blood and fall to the ground.

Seeing Yan Qinghan gradually walk in front of him, Wan Qu stared at the sword in his hand unwillingly.

"Stop!" someone suddenly shouted.

Suddenly, many soldiers rushed out from the official road not far away, and surrounded Yan Qinghan and Wan Quji's men and horses.

Qi Yunhao and Jiang Wu, who originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape, were also stopped by them.

A hint of chill flashed in Yan Qinghan's eyes, and he threw the sword in his hand towards Wan Quji, Wan Quji's eyes suddenly widened, and he used his last strength to dodge, but he still stabbed into his right shoulder!

"Ahh

He let out a muffled scream, and the pain in his heart made him faint directly.

The soldiers who suddenly rushed out were all holding long swords in their hands, and there were many of them, probably more than two hundred people.

Yan Qinghan turned his head and saw that a man in a dark green robe stepped forward from his horse, about forty years old, although he looked a little thin, but judging from his momentum alone, Yan Qinghan felt that this person's martial arts were not weak.

"Where are they all from!How dare you spread wild on the master's territory!" The man in dark green clothes stepped forward and shouted, but his voice sounded like a complete mountain bandit.

At this time, the people under Wan Quji's men were dead, wounded, and there were not many left, but Yan Qinghan's men did not have many casualties.

Yan Qinghan turned his head to look at him: "Who are you?"

"Lao Tzu...... Phew, this official is the Taishou of this Lizhou!" The man snorted coldly and said, "The people nearby reported to the official that someone had killed and fought again, and the official came to check on it! You are bandits on that road, and you dare to spread wild on the boundary of Lizhou! Don't you take this official seriously?"

Yan Qinghan's eyes flashed, he had heard of this person, and it was rumored that this Lizhou Taishou Qian Ansheng was a greedy person, and he had to rely on silver to do things with him, and he only looked at the silver and didn't recognize people.

Seeing that a Taishou was coming, a large inner guard hurriedly shouted: "We are the Great Inner guard!

Hearing that it was the Ouchi guard, Qian Ansheng's eyebrows raised, and he didn't immediately say that he wanted to help, but turned his head and asked, "Who killed you?"

Mo Bai said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry about the affairs here, if you don't want to cause trouble, get out of here!"

When Qian Ansheng heard this, he came to his senses: "This official is a good official, and Lao Tzu will take care of this matter!"
