The riots here at the City God Temple quickly alarmed the officers and soldiers in the city. When the county government heard that there were warriors picking quarrels and provoking trouble at the temple fair of the City God Temple, they sent people to invite the city defense troops stationed in the city to cooperate with the officials to investigate.

As long as the warriors did not bully and slaughter ordinary people, or did something that provoked the majesty of the royal family and the court, the local government would not interfere with these grievances, at most, after these old men who were not easy to provoke with temper and cultivation fought and left, they sent someone to clean up the battlefield and check the identity of the corpse. Send the corpses of powerful sects back to their respective mountains, and those mountains and wild cultivators will be sent to the nearby mountains and forests, turning into spring mud to protect flowers.

It's just that I don't know if it was deliberately arranged by someone with a heart, or if they were all ordinary people present, and I didn't tell that it was the three people who made a play with the intention of killing the red-robed boy. When he reported to the official in the Yamen, he became a red-robed boy and his guard, killing a child and his mother in a frenzy, and a vendor selling sugar gourds was also murdered.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the county magistrate who had such a thing in the territory under his jurisdiction only felt unlucky, and in a fit of anger, he called for the recall of all the officials who were resting, and personally led the people who were also full of resentment, and rushed to the City God Temple with great momentum.

The person who spoke to the city defense army stationed here was a general from Wupin named Chen Chuhe. This person is not a descendant of the Yun family, but was transferred here from another state. This kind of border between the two states, especially the hinterland of Liyang Prefecture after leaving the West City Gate, is a horse Pingchuan straight into the hinterland of Liyangzhou, and the Daxia Chai clan will not rest assured that this place will be controlled by Yunyin Mountain Villa. If Yunyin Villa has a different heart one day, regardless of whether it betrays Xia and surrenders to Liang, just the spearhead of the Yun family army is directed at Zhongyao Prefecture, which is also a disaster for Great Xia. Therefore, this city of Zhifu is the first beacon tower of the Daxia Chai clan.

Chen Chuhe is a handsome young man who stands in the near future, although he is not smiling on weekdays, he is very humble, and he does not have anyone in his eyes or dictate everything in the city because his official position is two orders higher than the county order. On the contrary, under the rule of this man, the city defense army was extremely low-key on weekdays, and was not allowed to act in the city as a sergeant unless he was on duty. If there are some tricky things in the yamen, Chen Chuhe is also responsive, and he sent his subordinates to assist this person Many times after the predecessors gave a thumbs up, and did not hesitate to praise his words Yu County Ling many times.

Chen Chuhe, who was playing against a woman in a green shirt in the mansion, heard the person describing the murder in the city, and learned that two martial arts cultivators had killed three civilians, and his expressionless face suddenly became angry. He angrily rebuked these bold fanatics, and then he wanted to have the city guards sent to arrest them, and at the same time arrange for his own guards to be armoured.

It's just that the man's hand that was just about to get up was pressed on his knee by a pair of slender jade hands. The man turned his head and asked, "Han'er, what are you doing?"

The woman in the green shirt smiled and said, "Brother, you have always been calm and steady on weekdays, why did you make a mess today?"

"What do you mean by that? In broad daylight, there were warriors who killed the people in the city on the first day of the new year. If this matter is reported to the imperial court by the assassination history at the beginning of the dynasty, not to mention whether His Majesty suspects that we are incompetent in governing the army, and there is such a humiliating thing in the territory under our jurisdiction, if we do not quickly arrest the murderer and appease the people, it will definitely be inevitable that the officials will criticize and Your Majesty will be punished. What's more, today is the beginning of the new year, so find me this kind of bad luck, how can I let go of these fanatics?" Chen Chuhe obviously wanted to explain to the woman next to him quickly.

It's just that the man's hand is still held by the woman named Han'er, Chen Chuhe was a little annoyed that the woman was ignorant, and was about to open his mouth to scold, but the woman said: "Brother, don't be anxious, you haven't asked about the characteristics of these martial artists, so you go in such a hurry?" The woman said and winked at Chen Chuhe.

"Characteristics, what characteristics?" Chen Chuhe muttered to himself, obviously not understanding what the woman meant, but his previous impatience was somewhat restrained.

Seeing that the woman was still smiling and winking at herself, Chen Chuhe, who thought for a moment but to no avail, asked a little impatiently: "Han'er, don't delay the sale of Guanzi." ”

The women's football team sighed, not knowing whether it was complaining about the incomprehensible humor of the man in front of her, or regretting his stupidity. "Brother, have you forgotten, who is coming from the letter a few days ago?"

The man patted his head when he heard this, and suddenly realized, "I almost forgot about it, but fortunately you reminded me." Are you saying that he was the one who killed the people?" said Chen Chuhe, who sat back in his chair.

Seeing that Chen Chuhe, who was about to get up and go to the City God Temple, suddenly sat back on the chair, the official who came to ask for support was a little puzzled, he naturally couldn't understand what dumb riddles were played between the two, so he asked tentatively: "General Chen, our adults are still waiting for you in the City God Temple, can you see ......?"

Chen Chuhe frowned when he heard this, and looked sideways at the woman in the green shirt. The woman said, "The letter only said that we should not meddle in this matter. There was such a big movement the day before yesterday, brother, you didn't send anyone to investigate, how obvious the action was. If the person who wrote the letter did not succeed in the mountains, and today he is still exposed in the city, then we can never afford to offend the murderer. At this moment, if someone is sent to arrest him, if it is really the person we guessed, even if you say that it is a misunderstanding, apologize, and respectfully escort him out of the city, but if he combines your inaction the day before yesterday with what you did today, it is inevitable that he will think that my brother and those people are the same party, and even if they are not the same party, they must have known about this earlier. If you think about it in the future......" That's all the woman said.

Chen Chuhe sighed, "Then how to be good, both sides are big people we can't afford to offend." ”

The woman thought for a moment and said, "Brother can send a personal guard to bring someone there?"

The man looked at the woman suspiciously, "Han'er, what you said is inconsistent. ”

The woman smiled, "Brother, you sent someone to investigate the case, to investigate the whole story, under the bright and clear world, how can there be a warrior who openly kills, and the identity of the person killed must be suspicious." Mo Yan had a preconceived idea of going in the name of arresting the murderer. If it is really that person, he will take it back to the house to make amends, if not, it is not too late to be arrested. ”

"If you ask you to go back to the house, will the person who wrote the letter be there?"

"Brother. If you learn the identity of this person and turn a blind eye, neither inviting nor visiting him, which is not in line with the official etiquette, will make people wonder whether you are an enemy of him or participated in those things. Only if you are generous and do the most reasonable thing will the person who writes the letter feel that you have a clear conscience, but only the wisdom of the officialdom to protect yourself, so that both sides will not be offended. ”

Chen Chuhe smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard this, "I did eat a lot of wine yesterday, fortunately I have Han'er here, otherwise I would be really bad with this mess." ”

Two hundred city guards wearing iron armor marched into the City God Temple.

Yun Xuelan and the three of them wanted to return to the inn, but one of the onlookers shouted loudly: "They are murderers, stop them." ”

The onlookers who had lost two souls of the three souls and seven souls who had been frightened had the courage to spontaneously surround a human wall out of nowhere

Stop the three. The three of them ignored them, neither taking these fools in their eyes nor wanting to explain more to them. The person with long eyes can't see the scars on the dwarf's face? If he doesn't dare to probe the corpse and can't identify it clearly, then the soft sword in the woman's hand can't be seen by everyone?

Yun Xuelan shook her head when she thought about it, under such fear, people have long lost the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. Like a lonely soul wandering in the darkness of the night, full of fear. And the shout in the crowd before was like a whistle that summoned lonely souls and wild ghosts, driving these irrational wandering spirits not to deceive others but to deceive themselves.

The three of them stepped forward, and the group struggled and went backward. It's not so much that the crowd is blocking the three, but it's more like the three are forcing the crowd to retreat. "Don't be afraid, can they dare to kill us all?" another shout came from the crowd. It's like there's some kind of death-defying spell on the back of these ghosts. The crowd really stopped. Although there was already a flash of panic in their eyes, they still did not retreat until the three demons in their eyes approached.

At this moment, two thoughts appeared in Yun Xuelan's mind.

If the Nanliang Iron Cavalry raises dust and the soldiers point directly at me in the Great Xia, can the people present still be fearless of death? Can the people of this state and the people of this country still stand on a human wall to block the soldiers and horses of the Southern Liang? Are you really not afraid of death, or do you know that you will not die and make a name for yourself?

If in the future, our Yun family army will sweep away the enemy's troubles as it is today, but you will be blinded by a leaf, it will be difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, prevent my Yun family erlang from attacking, cut off my Yun family erlang's retreat, and even stab me Yun family erlang in the back? What should we do? Like this time the body pain is more heart-wrenching? Or do you draw a knife against you?

The garrison of the city defense army has a drum tower, which is the tallest building in the city, and you can overlook the entire Xianfu City when you stand on it. The drum tower was originally the site of the city wall, but later the city was expanded, and the original city wall was demolished, but the drum tower was preserved to this day, and it was assigned to the city defense garrison.

At this moment, a man and a woman stood side by side on the drum tower, and a young woman in a green shirt held on to the railing and looked at the three figures surrounded by everyone below. The handsome man on the woman's side followed the ranks of the city defense army to the place where the incident occurred.

"Can you confirm it's him?" the man asked, not turning around.

The woman whispered in affirmation, her eyes full of surprise and amusement as she looked at the red-robed figure.

As if sensing the strangeness of the woman next to him, the man turned his head sideways to catch the brilliance in the woman's eyes, "Moved by this person?" There was a hint of ridicule in the man's tone.

"Brother!" The woman glared at Chen Chuhe, but she was not as shy as an ordinary daughter, and the look in her eyes was undisguised, "This person is different from what I imagined." ”

"Oh?" the man looked at the woman beside him, the corners of his mouth twitching as if he was holding back a smile.

"It is rumored that this person is a waste, not only unable to cultivate martial arts, but also stubborn and willful. If it weren't for the protection of the power of Yunyin Mountain Villa, it would have been a corpse long ago. But when I saw it today, I knew that the rumors were false. ”

"How can you see that?" Chen Chuhe leaned against a cowhide giant drum behind him.

"If it is really what the rumors say, in the face of everyone present, he can directly leave, but he can't bear it, but he is quite Yun family, is this not enough?" Seeing the man smiling and shaking his head, the woman pouted and said, "It turns out that my brother is making fun of me." There was dissatisfaction in his tone.

"How dare I, how dare I. The man laughed, "It's just that it's the first time I've seen you like this to a man, and I'm a little curious about being a brother." In addition to the identity of the young owner of Yunyin Mountain Villa, what else is there for my sister to evaluate him so highly?"

"Brother, don't forget what the letter says. The letter bluntly swore that there were only two people, and the words were determined to win. But now it is a group of three, unscathed. You still don't understand?"

Before the man could reply, the woman continued: "Brother, would you like to believe your sister once? ”

When the man saw the woman in front of him so solemn, he restrained his previous joking look, "I naturally believe you, if you hadn't planned for me all these years, I'm afraid I'd still be a captain." It's just that what do you want to gamble on? It's not that I'm afraid that I won't be able to recover after losing, it's just that I'm really tired of being a city defense general in this Fucheng, is it really going to be a Chai watchdog staring at Yunyin Villa? If there really is that day, I am just cannon fodder, how can I really make a difference. ”

When the woman heard this, she only said, "I changed my mind." Without waiting for the man to react, he jumped out of the drum tower and jumped down. Dancing in the air like a green butterfly, it fell to the location of Yun Xuelan and his party.

Everyone is obsessed with the emerald butterfly dance, and they don't know how to be cold and admire the red clothes.
