In the early morning, the sky is gray and bright, and you can faintly see the morning sun slowly climbing on the mountain in the distance, and the morning breeze blows by, causing a slight coolness.

"Boss, the goods have been loaded into the car. Cao Sixing came and a horse walked up to Zhou Qixuan's side.

Zhou Qixuan's hands were empty at the moment, staring at the rising sun in the distance, and some melancholy that could not be concealed appeared on his face. No one knew what he was thinking, just as no one knew what the young man sitting on the edge of the stable was thinking. He has been sitting since he was in his prime, and he still hasn't moved.

Everyone's expressions were very serious.

"Boss, don't you really need me to go with you?" Cao Sixing handed the reins to Zhou Qixuan and couldn't help asking.

"This is a thousand miles to Yangzhou, and Chang'an must leave someone to guard it. Zhou Qixuan shook his head, with a solemn look on his face, "You go back and tell Zhong Jun and them, be sure to show me the Zhaoyue Gate, if something goes wrong, I will ask you." ”

Cao Sixing nodded hurriedly and replied very seriously: "Boss, don't worry, we will definitely guard the Zhaoyue Gate." ”

At this moment, the young man finally stood up, he carried a dark green short sword, dressed in plain cloth, moved a brown horse from the stable, walked to Zhou Qixuan's side, and said solemnly: "It's almost time, pack up and leave quickly." ”

Zhou Qixuan turned around and tapped the number of people, turned over and got on his horse, "Everyone, let's go!"

Under the dark sky, the convoy slowly moved away from the Chang'an Station. Cao Sixing looked at the group of people until they disappeared from his field of vision, and then he came back to his senses and turned to leave.

"What were you thinking just now?" Zhou Qixuan, who was riding on horseback, turned his head to the young man and asked, due to the heavy load of the carriage, the speed of this convoy was not very fast.

"I'm thinking about what's going on in Chang'an these days. Xu Changfeng whispered, "Perhaps, we are really ready to move to Yangzhou." ”

"So urgent?" Zhou Qixuan even wondered if the boy was joking.

It is not easy for a gang in the rivers and lakes to consolidate a foundation, not to mention that Zhaoyuemen has been developing in Chang'an City for a long time, and many things are not so easy to get rid of.

If you are accustomed to the water and soil of Chang'an, you will be reluctant to leave.

"It's not that I'm in a hurry, but the court is in a hurry. Xu Changfeng said with a stiff face, and then sighed, "It's okay." Let's talk about it when we go to Yangzhou first. ”

Zhou Qixuan stared at Xu Changfeng's eyes and said no more.

Although he has always believed that it is the right thing to let Xu Changfeng serve as the military advisor of Zhaoyuemen, many times, he can't help but doubt the decision of this military advisor. Although there was never a mistake in these decisions......

In the past, the Zhaoyue Gate was like a boat drifting in the round lake, without wind and waves, and the days were peaceful. Today's Zhaoyue Gate is like a lonely sail in the turbulent sea, although there are infinite opportunities and a brilliant future, but one may be buried at the bottom of the sea if you are not careful. How could Zhou Qixuan not be worried? Zhaoyuemen is his root!

But fortunately, Xu Changfeng's plan is still as reliable as ever. After hearing about the young man's plan that night, he immediately set off and spent three days to go to Yangzhou City, thinking that it would take a lot of twists and turns, who would have thought that soon after entering the city, someone from the Gu family would find him in person.

It turned out that Xu Changfeng had already told Gu Mubai in Yangzhou about this matter before Zhou Qixuan left. Zhou Qixuan's trip to Yangzhou went smoothly, and in less than half a day, some cumbersome matters were negotiated.

When Zhou Qixuan returned to Chang'an, Xu Changfeng even prepared the goods for the darts, which made Zhou Qixuan have to look at him again. Presumably, the young man had already calculated that Zhou Qixuan's trip to Yangzhou would be as smooth as he thought.

Therefore, after Zhou Qixuan rested in Chang'an for two days, he began to gather people and dart Yangzhou.

This train fleet is not very long, Zhou Qixuan and Xu Changfeng rode in front of them, followed by the elite of Zhaoyuemen, twelve third-order cultivators, who protected the two carriages to death, but if there was any disturbance, they could be detected at the first time.

This time he went to Yangzhou, Zhou Qixuan didn't dare to use the fourth-order cultivators of Zhaoyuemen, after all, if all the fourth-order cultivators were transferred, once something went wrong in Chang'an, Zhaoyuemen would be unavailable. This is also why Zhou Qixuan refused to let Cao Sixing and others follow, Chang'an is the root of Zhaoyuemen, you can buy it again if the goods are gone, and if the root is broken, there will be nowhere to be found.

It's just that the young man's words did sound a wake-up call for Zhou Qixuan. Although he didn't know what was going on, he had a faint feeling that it wouldn't be long before Chang'an would have to change.

Maybe today's Chang'an has become different from the past, right?

Xu Changfeng's words were only half said, not because the court was in a hurry, but because the Lingkong Sword Village couldn't wait.

Before you know it, it is already midday, and the sun shines extremely brightly on the official road. At this time, everyone's mentality is quite relaxed, after all, it is not far from Chang'an, and the official road is safe, and when you enter the deep mountains and forests tomorrow, you have to beware of bandits and darts.

The young man looked up at the bright sun in the sky, and thought to himself: "Girl, she should already be on the way to Chang'an, right?"

The Sky Sword Village has been waiting for ten years, and if it continues to wait in such obscurity, more and more accidents will happen, and Zhao Xinji has been locked up in the prison for ten years, and it is time to come out and breathe. What they need now is an opportunity, an opportunity to completely change Chang'an. The Zhaoyue Gate built by Zhou Qixuan also had Xu Changfeng's painstaking management, and he also didn't want it to be destroyed in the hands of the imperial court.

With the passage of time, the convoy went farther and farther away, and Chang'an City slowly faded out of their sight. Going to Yangzhou is just the first step forward in Zhaoyuemen, and it will take a long time to gain a firm foothold in Yangzhou.

What Xu Changfeng didn't know was that a man who looked like a scholar walked out of Chang'an City alone not long after they set off.

He was dressed in white, and only one Analect was carried in a book bag behind him, and the rest of the books were sold and used as a platter. Although his face was a little melancholy, it did not affect his speed.

If Xu Changfeng was present at this moment, he would definitely recognize this person as the former official of the capital, Bai Shushan.

Yes, Bai Shushan will never forget the words that Cui Zhao said to him in the lobby of the Ministry of Rites that day.

"You have offended someone you can never afford to offend, and it is a great luck to be able to leave Chang'an alive. ”

That night, after he walked out of the gate of the lawsuit, he immediately went to find Huixu. When Huixu heard about this, he took him to find someone, a young man who was dressed very ordinarily, and his residence was also ordinary, but in him he could give people a peaceful atmosphere.

Bai Shushan was also wondering why Master Huixu wanted to bring himself to find such a person, he couldn't understand what the young man in front of him could do to help him.

After the young man heard his story, he asked him to write down the impeachment memo on the spot, and after the impeachment recital was put into writing, the young man immediately turned around and went out with the pen, and disappeared into the streets and alleys of Chang'an.

In the early morning of the next day, all the cadres led by Yang Xiao were arrested and put in prison by Chang Anwei. At that time, Bai Shushan knew that this seemingly ordinary young man turned out to be the current Royal Highness of the Fifth Prince, Li Ziyan.

Li Ziyan accepted the twists and turns of Baishushan, entered the palace overnight, and personally handed it over to his imperial uncle, Prince Li Nie.

After this, Huixu guessed that the queen would definitely send someone to coerce Bai Shushan, so she lit the soul-devouring incense in the capital lawsuit, and after the two took the antidote, let Huixu disguise himself as Bai Shushan, which saved his life.

To this day, Bai Shushan still doesn't understand why Master Huixu would take care of him like this. Just like that day, Huixu inexplicably found him and asked him to write a prison letter for Xu Changfeng, who was locked up in the prison.

It's that simple, but the funny thing is that Fan Zhong didn't know what was going on until he died. As soon as Yang Xiao's head front foot was cut off by the knife and axe hand, Bai Shushan's back foot was demoted to a commoner.

That letter was read to him by Master Cui of the Ministry of Rites, and he heard it clearly, word by word.

Even if Yang Xiao is the younger brother of the queen's mother, but if he commits such a serious crime, it is impossible for the prince to spare him. What's more, Yang Yue is not Li Nie's woman. In a sense, this throne does not belong to him.

"There is no one here, there is a place to stay. After listening to Cui Zhao's recital, Bai Shushan only left this sentence, took off his official uniform on the spot, and turned to leave.

Bai Shushan looked back at the upstairs of Chang'an City, and the three big characters that were still dyed red, Anhua Gate. I can't help but feel an indescribable sadness in my heart, this is Chang'an, a knight's dream of a literati for thousands of years.

Now the dream is shattered, and the man wakes up.

He walked all the way south in the morning light, walking very freely.
