Xing Zhen walked vigilantly towards the courtyard, but found nothing.

Suddenly, the sound of "rustling" not far away sounded again, attracting Xingxi's attention.

He walked slowly in the direction from which the voice came, passing through the formation next to the hut. The sound grew louder and louder, and his hand was already on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and little by little he headed towards the place where the sound came from.

Xing Xuan drew his long sword, and the fluorescent light in his hand flickered, dispelling a part of the darkness around him.

He looked down and was taken aback.

A bloodied man fell there, groaning lowly.

Xing Xuan crouched down and brought the fluorescence close to the man's face, and a familiar face appeared in front of his eyes.

It's Ying Chenji, she seems to be seriously injured, with a map in her left hand, and her right hand is tightly clutched, not knowing what to hold

Seeing this, Xing Xuan didn't have time to care about anything, so she hurriedly picked her up and rushed to the house.

Not much

In the dim light, Feng Ye of the kimono pulled up the silver needle and nodded.

"Lao Tzu is about to become a barefoot doctor. Feng Ye glanced at Xing Xuan and said.

"How's it going, Uncle Wind?" asked Xing Ying.

"It's not a big deal, but I want to ask you something. Feng Ye said, "Do you know this girl?"

"Know...... How do you know?" said Xing Zhen, scratching her head.

"Hey, I still don't recognize the handwriting on that map?" Feng Ye snorted and said, "I want to ask you, I haven't seen this girl, who is she." ”

Xing Xuan hesitated for a moment and said, "She is the Yuan Hall Supervision Agency, the person from the Embroidery Palace. ”

Feng Ye's face suddenly sank when he heard this.

"The people of the Embroidery Palace?" Feng Ye repeated.

"That's right, it's a coincidence, she and I met at the Yuandian Burnt Ceremony. Xing Xuan said, succinctly recounting the process of their acquaintance.

"Do you think it's a coincidence?" Feng Ye groaned when he heard this, then stood up, came to Xing Xuan's side, and said in a low voice, "The supervision agency of the Yuan Palace, there are not ordinary people inside, they are all a group of tigers and wolves. ”

"No, Uncle Feng, she's still a good person. Xing Xuan said.

"Hmph, silly boy, remember, something too coincidental is suspicious. Feng Ye held the candle lamp and said, "Remember, there is no harm in being vigilant, her injuries are under control, you can bring her back through the stopwatch before dawn." ”

Although he didn't understand it, Xing Xuan still arched his hand.

"Yes. ”

Not much

Before dawn, according to Feng Ye's request, Xing Xuan returned to the front of the house through the stopwatch.

After he entered the house and settled Yingchenji, the sky was already dark.

He walked out of the house and happened to meet Chen, who had just come out of the house.

Chen saw that his heart tightened, and he was stunned in place for two seconds.

"Chen. When Xing Xuan saw her, a strange feeling also appeared in her heart.

The two of them hadn't seen each other for a few days, so why was they so excited to see each other at this moment.

But Xing Xuan still had some things to do, and he strode in front of Chen, subconsciously taking her hand.

But Chen actually took two steps back.

Xing Zhen was stunned for a moment, took his hand back with some embarrassment, and said, "Chen, you go and take care of Ying Chenji, she is seriously injured, but Uncle Feng has already controlled it, and it is no big deal." ”

Chen nodded.

"I still have some things to do, so I can't accompany you first. With that, Xing Xuan hurriedly walked outside.

Chen's eyes followed his hurried back, her lips pursed very thinly, and a feeling of loss emerged in her heart.

Xing Xuan walked outside and remembered something.

"By the way, I didn't tell Chen Amon to take the gift I gave her," Xing Xuan suddenly realized, but then shook his head, "Forget it, I'll bring it back and give it to her myself." ”

As he spoke, Xing Xuan rode his horse and rode towards the city.

Chen looked at the empty door, didn't say a word, bit his lip tightly, and looked preoccupied.

Castle Lord's Mansion

As soon as Xing Xuan pulled his head, the horse made a "whooping" footsteps, raised its front hooves, and strangled in front of the city lord's mansion.

"Who!" shouted the guards outside the door, crossing their blades in front of the door.

"I am the chief of the Kuicheng Imperial Guard, and I have something to see the lord of the city. Xing Xuan said.

But the two people didn't move, but still looked at Xing Zhen vigilantly.

Seeing this, Xing Xuan had no choice but to take out the jade order and display it in front of them.

Seeing the jade order, the two guards took back the cross spear in their hands and arched their hands to Xing Xuan.

"Please also put your hand on this. The guard took out a small statue and handed it to Xing Xuan.

Xing Xuan was silent, but did as he could.

When Xing Xuan put his hand on it, the statue's eyes suddenly lit up blue.

A Yuan Qi spread out in a ripple shape, and Xing Xuan felt a subtle feeling from it, and his Yuan Power seemed to stagnate for a moment before returning to its original state.

It was the "Ming Illusion", and all the illusions of Yuan Force could not escape his eyes, but this kind of thing was relatively complicated as a Yuan Artifact production process, and it was extremely expensive.

Seeing that the City Lord's Mansion even moved out of this kind of thing, it can be seen that at this moment, the City Lord's Mansion and the entire Kuicheng City are already heavily guarded to prevent any chaos at this time.

It's no wonder that you have to look at your own jade order today.

The guard arched his hand to Xingxuan.

"Wait, we're going to report now. ”

Xing Xuan frowned: "Is it so strict?"

"This is also a helpless thing, to prevent any thieves from plotting at this time, we can only be extremely vigilant, we are also in accordance with the rules, please understand. The guard said.

Xing Zhen nodded, and as they had said, pressed his handprint on a special piece of paper and signed his name.

"Okay, let's go report now. The guard said as he headed towards the city lord's mansion.

Looking at the guards who ran into the mansion, Xing Zhen couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

I didn't expect it to be so cumbersome at this time, it seems that Yuandian really spared no effort to control the stability of the situation before the war, and wanted to kill all the signs of possible riots in the cradle.

It seems that he is preparing at this time, and he can only say that he is synchronized with the Yuan Palace, and he is not much early.

Xing Xuan couldn't help but pray silently that in this war, the best friends would be okay and would return safely.

He has never seen war, because of the unknown of war, so his current mood is very complicated, not only has the heroic ambition to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, but also has the worry about the cruelty of the fight, and a panic about the unknown.

After a short time, he stepped into the City Lord's Mansion.

It was still the familiar main hall, but the atmosphere was very different from usual.

"Xia Guan has seen the city lord. Xing Zhen bowed his hand slightly

"Get up and watch the tea. The city lord rubbed his temples, it seemed that the government affairs of the past few days had made him a little anxious.

This is also what Xing Xuan expected, in this case, the city lord is more likely to approve this little thing of his own.

"If there is anything to do with the chief of the guard, just say it quickly, the old man has been really anxious these days, and there are still many official affairs to deal with. ”

"Since the city lord said so, Xing Xuan also said directly, I came this time to ask you to do me a small favor. Xing Xuan said, "You also know that civilians are not allowed to carry swords and weapons, and now that the war is coming, it is also strict, but ........."

The city lord nodded, knowing what Xing Xuan meant.

"I understand that you want to equip your subordinates with swords. The city lord said.

"That's right, just five approvals are enough. Xing Xuan said.

"This matter is originally a trivial matter, and it stands to reason that Elder Tingwei should handle it for you immediately, but you have also seen that I have a lot of government affairs here every day, and I am anxious, so you might as well wait for a few days?" said the city lord in embarrassment.

"Lord of the city, I will write a report and hand it to the Yuan Palace, claiming that Kuicheng is properly governed, the city lord is self-denying, many officials are united, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Xing Xuan hurriedly said.

Before Xing Zhen returned from Tianyou County, Yuan Dian learned about the disaster and burnt ceremony, and after executing Winter, he commended Xing Zhen and others to all the people, plus he was quite appreciated by the generals here, so although his part of the recital was all clichés, it was still very useful.

So, the city lord nodded, and the corners of his mouth rose.

"Elder Tingwei is fair and benevolent, since this is the case, I can't shirk it anymore, so I will pass on the order and get five approvals for you. ”

Xing Xuan nodded slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose.

After a short time, Xing Xuan came out of the City Lord's Mansion satisfied, and collected several iron orders of approval in his hand into the ring.

Suddenly, he felt a drop of water drip on the back of his neck, cool.

He looked up at the sky, and it was already very dark, and sparse raindrops fell from the sky from time to time, and dark clouds rolled and gradually converged.

Seeing that it was about to rain heavily, Xing Yu hesitated, but still stepped on the horse and drove forward at a high speed.

Not much

The thunder rang out, and in a short time the raindrops continued to fall like beads with broken threads.

The wind howled, and the drenched star squinted his eyes and laboriously dragged the dripping horse into the stable.

Because the wind was too strong, he had already pulled out the hairpin on his head, and his whole body was dripping with water, and he completely became a chicken in the soup.

He breathed a sigh of relief, ran into the house quickly, shook the water at the door, and then walked into the house.

Chen just came out, and when he saw Xing Xuan's appearance, he hurriedly ran back to the house. After a while, she came out with a clean suit of clothes and walked towards Xingxuan.

Xing Zhen smiled and took it from her hand.

But Xing Zhen's hand accidentally touched Chen's hand, Chen's heart suddenly tightened, his lips pursed, and his face looked very lost.

She subconsciously avoided Xing Xuan's eyes, Rao is Xing Xuan couldn't understand the amorous feelings, and at this time she also saw that Chen's face was wrong.

"What's wrong?" asked Xing Xuan.

Chen didn't speak, she hadn't spoken since she saw Xing Xuan.

"Are you sick, or is someone bullying you?" Xing Zhen asked with a frown.

"Sister Ying has woken up, and there is no big problem. Chen didn't respond to Xing Zhen and whispered.

Immediately, she turned and headed towards her room.

Xing Yu was stunned, his face full of doubts.

"Yingchen Ji is awake, it's okay. Xing Xuan didn't know what to say, so it took a long time to say this.

Chen stopped, her back to Xing Zhen, who didn't see her face.

Chen paused for a moment, then walked quickly towards the house.
