Dawn - the gate of Kuicheng

As soon as it was dawn, the soldiers rubbed their sleepy eyes and opened the city gates.

At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage came at a high speed, and sand and dust rolled up from behind.

"Who's coming, please get out of the car and be investigated," the soldier hurriedly stopped.

The driver was dressed in black, and took out a token in his hand, and the spear of the spirit flower shone in the reflection of the sun.

"It's Lord Yuan, let it go!" Seeing this, the soldier hurriedly moved the barricade and moved to both sides.

As soon as the carriage rode out of the city, it drove in the direction of Tianyou County.

Morning - Kuicheng City Lord's Mansion

The city lord was sipping a cup of tea, picked up a report on the table, and frowned slightly.

"My lord, there is someone outside who wants to see you," said a servant who came to the hall and bowed his hand.

"Who, have you made an appointment?" said the city lord lazily. "No, my lord, but they have the token of the Yuan Hall in their hands. The guy said.

The city lord hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand, stood up and shouted, "Then why don't you please?"

Not much

The servant ushered Chen and Amon into the antechamber.

The city lord smiled politely and arched his hand: "The two adults are fine, please sit down, come and serve tea."

The two of them sat down, and the city lord spoke: "Is there something wrong with the Yuan Palace?"

Chen and Amon glanced at each other, smiled and said, "City Lord, we have seen each other. ”

The city lord was stunned, and Chen added: "You forgot, as your subordinate, the chief of the court guard took us to visit you. ”

The city lord suddenly realized: "That's right, that's right, what's the matter, is there something wrong with the court guard?"

Chen and Amon glanced at each other and said, "Yesterday, someone tried in vain to sneak into the room of the chief of the court guard, used the closed yuan medicine on the chief of the court guard, and also brought 17 warriors. ”

The city lord was shocked when he heard this: "Is the court guard Chang'an good?"

"The court guard is well, and he and we will kill the eighteen assassins in all. Chen said, "But, my lord, the chief of the court guard, as the commander of the Yuan Palace, is the central official of the Yuan Palace, and he was already the leader of the security inspector, but now he has been assassinated, and he can only rely on himself and his family in times of danger, how ridiculous does this sound. ”

The city lord's head began to sweat and became distracted.

"So, where is Master Tingwei?"

"Elder Tingwei should have left the city at this time, rushed to Tianyou County, and reported to the Yuan Palace. Chen said righteously.

"What?" the city lord was shocked, almost out of shape.

"Don't be impatient, didn't Lord Tingwei send us to inform you?" Amon said, leaning into the city lord's ear: "Lord Tingwei knows that Lord Tingwei doesn't want to let go of power, and Lord Tingwei wants freedom and doesn't care about the real power of law and order, please rest assured, but you can see that after this incident, Lord Tingwei is still worried in his heart." ”

"So, what does the Imperial Guard mean?" said the City Lord. "Don't worry, Master Tingwei just wants to be friends with you, and he won't tell Yuan Dian about the danger he committed last night, you only need to do what you need to do now, and the crime of negligence will no longer exist. Amon smiled and arched his hand

"Ah, yes, yes. When the city lord heard this, he felt a little more relieved and eased his emotions, he seemed to react, and hurriedly surrendered his hand: "Thank you to the chief of the court guard for sending two to inform me that this official will be arrested now and the city will be sealed and investigated." ”

Not much

The gentlemen were so satisfied that they came out of the brothel.

Just as they stepped out of the threshold, a group of men galloped in front of them.

"Ahem, fuck, what are you doing, stop for Lao Tzu!" Wei Kuan choked on the dust raised and scolded on tiptoe.

"Shut up! That's the executive officer of Kuicheng!" Seeing this, Li Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to cover Wei Kuan's mouth, "If the shadow guards of the Yuan Hall hear it, you should go to prison." ”

Wei Kuan's eyes widened when he heard this, and he hurriedly ran behind the sissy second in a panic.

"As I went, my clothes were dirty. The second child glanced at Wei Kuan with disgust, and said to Li Yuan, "Big brother, that team seems to be sticking up the list, let's take a look?"

Li Yuan nodded, and led those thugs into the crowd of watchers.

"Last night, the chief of the court guard was assassinated, but he found out early that the soldiers of Kuicheng followed him, killed 17 thieves, and unfortunately escaped one.

Immediately, the onlookers began to discuss.

"Big brother, the chief of the court guard was assassinated, isn't that the beggar?" Wei Kuanxi smiled, looked at Li Yuan and said, "Without us, someone will have to take care of him." ”

The old san slapped him on the head, and Wei Kuan was directly stunned. "Hey, third brother, I didn't recruit you, did I?"

"You are stupid, Wei Kuan, what does it say on the list? Seventeen anti-thieves were killed in full, and there was also the seal of the city lord on them, even if someone wanted to cook, could they cook?" the third roared angrily.

"Don't scold the sixth child anymore, what he said also has a certain truth, but I didn't expect that kid to be reused by the Yuan Palace, and he was also the chief of the court guard. Li Yuan's face was gloomy.

"Big brother, isn't the chief of the court guard a petty official, two days ago, my father came to the door to deliver a gift, and asked me to say that we are not afraid of him at all. The fourth said.

"Bah, although the chief official of the court guard is small, he is directly subordinate to the Yuan Palace, an official sent by the central government, listen, don't provoke the people of the Ruo Opera Troupe now. The second child, who had been pondering, said suddenly.

The thugs looked at each other and were noncommittal.

A day later - Yuan Dian.

Li Moqi squinted, staring at the official document on the table, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What are you going to do?" Suddenly, Li Moqi spoke, looking at Xing Xuan in front of him.

"Naturally, I'm here to ask you, Xing Zhen doesn't dare to be arbitrary. The corners of Xing Xuan's mouth rose and said.

"It's good, it's growing, it's able to suppress the anger in my heart and think calmly. Li Moqi stood up and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this time, I'll help you in the back, you check." ”

Xing Zhen arched his hand and said, "No"

At this time, the city lord of Kuicheng walked in tremblingly, and Li Moqi's face immediately darkened.

Li Moqi slapped the table and scolded fiercely

"What should I do? The Yuan Hall official was assassinated, and this kind of thing happened under your jurisdiction!

The city lord hurriedly knelt down, panicking: "My lord, spare my life." ”

Xing Xuan arched his hand and said: "My lord, thanks to the soldiers of the city lord and the security team under my command last night, otherwise it would be difficult for two fists to defeat four hands, and I am afraid that I would have been killed a long time ago." ”

Li Moqi stopped talking, stared coldly at the city lord who was trembling on the ground, and said for a long time: "If there is something wrong with the court guard, you can go to the slave group to carry the stone!"

"Yes!" the city lord hurriedly replied.

Yuandian corridor

"Oh, Lord Tingwei, thanks to you this time, if you hadn't come to tell me, I'm afraid what I was waiting for would be a derogatory order from the Yuan Palace. The city lord wiped the sweat from his forehead and arched his hand towards Xing Zhen, "In the future, the real power of this law and order will be returned to Your Excellency." ”

Seeing this, Xing Xuan hurriedly raised his arm and said, "Lord City, according to your position, you are my boss, you love to be at ease and don't like a lot of business, this law and order power, I have to worry about you." ”

The city lord was stunned for a moment, and said: "That's the case, but it is disrespectful in the next, if the elder Tingwei has something in the future, he will directly send someone to the city lord's mansion and tell it." ”

Xing Zhen smiled: "Okay, the city lord is polite. ”

"Oh, although Your Excellency is only fifteen years old, but you are sharp in your chest, and your breath is floating in your face, hahahaha, Your Excellency will have a bright future in the future. The city lord laughed.

"You're in for a treat. Xing Xuan said politely.

A day later

He took a pen and drew on the ground, both inside and outside the house, and not only that, but in some places, he would take out a stone with runes engraved on it from a pocket and dig a small pit to bury it.

The scorching sun shone straight down the back of his neck, and sweat kept pouring down his forehead.

After three hours of hard work, the outline of the star was finally completed.

He slowly stood up, stretched his waist, wiped the sweat from his head, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The words in his mouth shone slightly, and suddenly, all those traces of outline disappeared.

"Whew, it's done. ”

At this time, Chen walked out, handed him a towel and a glass of water, and said with a smile: "Hard work, Master Tingwei." ”

"It's so hard, now, there shouldn't be anything more to do. Xing Xuan said.

This is the formation given to him by the Yuan Palace, although it is laborious but effective for a long time, it can protect this house and the people inside very well, even if it is a person who refines the Yuan Realm Yuan, it is difficult to break this barrier.

As for Lu Che and the others, as long as they have the mark tattooed on their hands, they can come and go freely.

"Now wait for the injured man to be arrested and see who is going to kill us. Chen said.

Xing Xuan was silent and nodded.

"I always felt like something was wrong. Xing Xuan said with a sudden frown. "What's wrong?" Chen asked, confused.

"I don't know, that's how I feel. "Maybe it's too hot." ”

"Xiao Zhen, Brother Lu is looking for you. At this time, Lan Ji came out and said. "Oh, here we are. Xing Xuan said, and walked towards the room with Chen.

Lan Ji leaned in front of Xing Xuan's ear and said softly: "There is something wrong with him today, you go and see what happened." ”

Xing Zhen nodded: "Don't worry, Sister Lan." ”

in the room

Lucher sat down in his chair, just out of his rudimentary costume, and before he could remove his makeup.

His eyes were fixed on the front, but they were not bright.

"What's the matter, Brother Lu. Xing Zhen gently pushed the door and walked in, and the person arrived before the sound arrived.

Seeing that Lu Che didn't say a word, the smile that appeared on Xing Xuan's mouth gradually disappeared.

He slowly came to Lucher's face, his dull eyes and the haggard look evident through his makeup startled.

"What's the matter, Brother Lu, what's wrong. Xing Yu hurriedly asked, "Are you sick?"

Lutcher glanced up at him, and just as he was about to speak, his eyes were moist.

Han ......... Han Pan he, he died. The last three words were squeezed out of between his teeth.

Hearing this, Xing Xuan also fell silent.

Although he has always hated this betrayed person in his heart, when he heard the news at this time, Xing Xuan still felt like a stone was pressed in his heart.

"I've heard people say......... He died of a fever, and there was no one to treat him, so he ............ directly was directly thrown into the mass grave by Wei Kuan's livestock. Lucher said almost whimpering at the end.

He gripped Xingxu's arm tightly, as if he had found a life-saving straw.

Tears eventually dripped onto the other side of Xing's sleeve.

"Brother Lu, what do you want Xiao Zhen to do? Bury Brother Han? Take back the brothers who left back then? Xiao Zhen can do it. Seeing Lu Che like this, Xing Xuan finally couldn't bear it.

But Lu Che shook his head heavily, eased his emotions, sighed deeply and said: "His body should have been burned, as for those brothers, even if you take it back, they stole our food and clothing at the beginning, and cut us off, even if I forgive it, everyone, everyone will not allow them." ”

"I, I'm just very sad, after all, Han Pan and I used to depend on each other. As he spoke, Lucher choked up again.

Xing Xuan was silent, he hugged Lu Che, and let this old man who had always been strong choke and cry wantonly in his arms.

At this time, I'm afraid silence and companionship are the best way.

That year, the wooden waist was gradually covered up and buried on the night when the snow fell.
