On the morning of June 26 in the fourth year of Xingde, the east gate of Luoxian City ushered in several guests.

A head poked out of the city wall, a soldier guarding the city, and when he saw that the people were four people in civilian clothes, he immediately shouted loudly: "Luoxian City is under martial law!

I saw a big young man under the city shouting loudly: "Presumptuous! You dare to stop me and the Imperial History of the Patrol Border? Why don't you hurry up and call Ding Xiuran and Zhao Xing to come and greet you personally!"

The soldiers defending the city didn't react after hearing this, but just looked at the group blankly, only to see another young man riding a horse and taking out a gold medal from his arms, and the soldiers defending the city shouted: "The villain should die! Please wait a moment! The little one will immediately call Lord Assassin!"

A reminder came from downstairs in the city: "Remember, go and call your general Zhao Xing first, and then call Ding Xiuran to come together." ”

"Little obedience!"

In the Thorn History Mansion in Luoxian City, Ding Xiuran stayed awake all night, waiting for news from Ouyang Kai. But I waited all night, and I didn't see anyone come to report.

Ding Xiuran thought to himself, maybe Ouyang Kai had already missed, and he just hoped that he wouldn't leave some flaws. On the other hand, if everything is normal in the military prison, it is time to finish the work. This hour has already passed, and I am afraid that it will fall short.

The more Ding Xiuran thought about it, the more worried he became, and he was so anxious that he paced back and forth in the room.

"Master, master!" I saw that Qian Sanjin was sweating profusely again and ran into the living room of the Thorn Mansion, and was so anxious that he stepped on the floor without taking off his shoes.

Ding Xiuran didn't reprimand this reckless fat butler this time, but asked anxiously: "Where is the news?"

Qian Sanjin's fat face was covered with sweat, and he gasped and returned: "Where, which side is ...... No news. ”

After Ding Xiuran heard this, he immediately burst out with a stomach full of anger: "Then what are you howling so loudly!?" He angrily pointed to the floor and scolded: "Look at your dirty feet! I'll tell you to lick the floor clean in a while!"

Qian Sanjin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Master, I will definitely take care of it in a while." Now you can hurry to the East City Gate. Zhao Xing has just sent someone to deliver a message, saying that Lord Yushi is waiting for you outside the city. Lord Yushi wants you to go to the city gate with General Zhao to meet him in person. ”

Ding Xiuran's body shook slightly after hearing this: "What...... What? Lord Goshi is at the gate of the East Castle?"

Qian Sanjin nodded hurriedly: "Yes, master, that's what the soldier sent by Zhao Xing to deliver the message said." ”

I saw that Ding Xiuran suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, he lowered his head and said nothing, just looking thoughtful.

Qian Sanjin didn't dare to speak, so he quietly squatted down and wiped the dirty floor with his sleeve.

Suddenly, Ding Xiuran shouted to Qian Sanjin: "Okay! Wipe the floor again in a while, hurry up and arrange a change of clothes for me." Hurry!"

"Yes, sir. With that, Qian Sanjin ran out of the door and began to instruct his subordinates to prepare his official uniform.

Ding Xiuran said to himself coldly: "Hmph...... Come on, come on, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, as long as you survive the last moment, I see what you can do to me!"

At this moment, a slight breeze was blowing at the east gate of Luoxian City. The weather in the Xiguan area is wonderful, when there is no sun, it is surprisingly cold, but once the sun starts to work, the place becomes as hot as a hot pot.

But the most comfortable time in the Xiguan area is the time when the sun has just risen, at this time in Xiguan, the temperature is gradually rising, the sun is not roasting, with a slight breeze, so comfortable that people can forget all their troubles.

The soldiers on the tower of Xiguan City poked their heads out again and shouted loudly to the four people under the city: "Lord Yushi! General Zhao and Lord Thorn Shi are here! I will open the door for you now!"

Wu Nai under the city nodded with a smile: "It's hard work." ”

The tall city gate gradually opened, and Wu Nai hadn't seen anyone coming, but he immediately heard the sound of horses slapping inside: "The lower officials have missed the distance! I hope that Lord Yushi will forgive his sins!"

After that, a tall and thin official wearing a colorful brocade rooster official uniform greeted him. The case of the second-grade brocade chicken with colorful patterns, Wu Nai understood as soon as he saw this official uniform, and the person who heard his voice before seeing him should be Ding Xiuran, the assassin of Xiguan.

Ding Xiuran greeted him and took a look, but he was dumbfounded. Because Wu Nai was dressed in civilian clothes and had no attendants, he couldn't recognize who was the imperial historian.

Ding Xiuran looked at the two people standing at the front on horseback, one looked tall and straight, and his appearance was magnificent, giving people a feeling of being a tall man. One looks a little ordinary, but there is an extraordinary bearing in his eyes and smile that is difficult to say.

Ding Xiuran was a little dazed, so he hurriedly saluted the two and asked, "The lower official is clumsy, I don't know which one is Wu Nai, the master of the imperial history." ”

After hearing this, Wu Nai sneered meaningfully. Then he got off the horse, hugged his fist at Ding Xiuran and said, "Thanks to Your Majesty's wrong love, the contemptible person is the imperial history of the border patrol appointed by Your Majesty." ”

"Oh! Xiaguan has seen Lord Wu!" After saying that, Ding Xiuran hurriedly saluted Wu Nai again.

Wu Nai hurriedly caught Ding Xiuran's arms, and then politely returned: "Lord Thorn Shi is too modest, I, Wu Nai, am patrolling the border with a fourth-grade area, how dare I compare with you, a second-grade feudal official?"

Ding Xiuran hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, Lord Yushi has personally accepted His Majesty's mission, naturally it is His Majesty's tongue, in front of His Majesty's Tianwei, how dare I talk about grade." ”

After that, Ding Xiuran looked at He Lou Pengfei on the side, and then asked Wu Nai respectfully: "Lord Yushi, who is this?"

Wu Nai returned: "Oh, this is the concubine of the eldest princess today. On the orders of His Majesty, the master of the horse accompanied the contemptible people to Xiguan to condole. ”

Ding Xiuran hurriedly knelt down, bowed to He Lou Pengfei and said, "Oh! Luoxian City is a barbaric land, how dare you bother the horse master to come in person!"

He Lou Pengfei looked at Ding Xiuran holding back the fire in his belly, and he replied angrily: "Your Majesty called me to come, of course I have to come, what's the matter? Do you think Your Majesty has a problem arranging it?"

Ding Xiuran was choked by He Lou Pengfei's words, and hurriedly returned: "Don't dare! Xiaguan will never dare!

After He Lou Pengfei snorted, he stopped talking to Ding Xiuran.

Wu Nai immediately started a round: "Oh, Lord Thorn Shi is not strange, we passed by Huangquan Valley yesterday, and we encountered a group of robbing horse thieves, so we finally escaped from death." So it's inevitable that there will be some emotions, and please don't be surprised. ”

After hearing this, Ding Xiuran made a shocked look and asked, "What! There are horse thieves robbing you?"

Wu Nai nodded: "That's right, it's a horse thief." ”

Ding Xiuran asked with concern, "Isn't it something else?"

Wu Nai asked rhetorically: "What? It's not a horse thief, is there something else that will come out to rob?"

Ding Xiuran immediately returned: "No! The lower officials dare to assert that it must have been done by horse thieves! This Xiguan has not been peaceful, and this is the responsibility of the lower officials." The lower official will ask Lord Yushi for his guilt now!"

Wu smiled coldly, but there was a look of indifference on his face: "Lord Assassin Shi said with a smile, this Xiguan is sparsely populated and lacks resources, how can you blame you for some thieves? Don't care, don't care." ”

Ding Xiuran said with a look of self-reproach: "The lower officials must guarantee that after driving out the foreign enemy, they will definitely rectify the public order in Xiguan!"

However, at this time, Ding Xiuran secretly laughed in his heart: Okay! Although Ouyang Kai didn't do a good job, he didn't show his feet. That's a lot easier!

Although Ding Xiuran was secretly relieved at the moment, his face was full of bitterness and hatred for the "horse thief".

Wu Nai has been paying attention to Ding Xiuran's eyes since just now, the look in his eyes changed from nervous to relaxed, after watching this change, Wu Yao thought patiently: Rabbit cub, you can't be wrong, it's you! You wash my neck and wait.
