This morning was different from usual, the Wusan Inn was not crowded with local residents, but a large number of officers and soldiers came, all with guns and knives, and the door was tightly guarded.

Wu San and Liuhuai knocked on the door of each guest room in a panic, saying that the king of Guanbei, who was guarding the west road, personally led troops to investigate the case, and ordered everyone to go out of the room and wait for questioning.

This Guanbei King Zhao Delan is also the emperor's uncle today, and he has been stationed at the border pass for many years, why did he come to this Qiongta Town now? Shen Yi was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, Li Lilong, the head of the murdered West Road, was subordinate to the king of Guanbei, and it would not be a strange thing if this king of Guanbei heard some rumors and came. He walked out of the room and was taking a look at Ou Jingtian. Looking at Ou Jingtian's face again, he glared at him coldly, and his eyes were clearly saying, look at you so-called people in the government, you are really a big posture and a big style, but except for disturbing the people, you don't do a serious thing. Shen Yi understood what he meant, but he could only smile bitterly and have nothing to say.

The king of Guanbei has a wide mouth and big ears, a dense beard on his chin, black willows are mixed, and the roots are full of flesh. He opened his breastplate and sat down in a chair in front of the counter, resting his big riding boots on the counter.

Wu San and Liuhuai had sad faces, stood aside with their hands tied, and did not dare to raise their heads, but they were resigned, and they were scolded by the king of Guanbei for some reason.

As soon as the king of Guanbei raised his head, he saw Shen Yi coming over, and he sat comfortably on the chair, stretched out his hand to wipe his beard, and said loudly: "This king heard that many people from the Central Plains suddenly came to this Wusan Inn, and they behaved suspiciously, but I didn't expect it to be Shen Guard." ”

Shen Yi's face was calm, he bent down and clenched his fists, and said, "My subordinates have seen the prince Chitose. ”

The king of Guanbei looked him up and down, his mouth shook, and said, "Are you people in Qingtianfu so arrogant and rude?

Shen Yi's back stiffened, his face turned pale for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal, his right hand stroked the hem of his shirt, bent down on one knee, and said: "Shen Yi, the fourth-grade guard of Qingtian Mansion, greets the prince Chitose. He lowered his head, but vaguely heard Ou Jingtian behind him snort coldly.

King Guanbei laughed and said, "Shen Guard, please get up." When I saw him in the palace the year before last, after many years, Shen Huwei's demeanor was still the same, and the name of Shen Yi, the Jiangnan hero, had also spread to the edge of this desert, and there were many people who admired Shen Huwei. ”

Everyone saw that the king of Guanbei was moody and unpredictable, and their hearts were all worried.

Shen Yi thanked him and stood up.

King Guanbei asked, "Shen Huwei came thousands of miles away, what kind of big case is it for?"

Shen Yi groaned slightly, and replied: "My subordinates are here to investigate the murder of Lord Li Lilong, the head of the West Road Capital. ”

King Guanbei withdrew his legs from the counter, straightened up, and asked, "Is there a clue?"

"This ......" Shen Yi secretly measured how much he could tell him, and said slowly: "The subordinates don't know much, and they are still investigating." ”

"Oh, don't you know much?" King Guanbei sneered, stretched out his hand and pointed behind Shen Yi, and said loudly: "Aren't those two Li Lilong's righteous brother Gong Qianshan and his son? ”

Shen Yi's face was still calm, and he said: "The subordinates don't dare, and the subordinates only saw Gong Qianshan and the son of Li Du's chief manager yesterday, and they still need to be further questioned and investigated." ”

King Guanbei waved his hand and said, "Then you don't have to work hard for Shen Guard, this king can take over Li Lilong's case." ”

Shen Yi did not answer, but stood in front of the king of Guanbei without any intention of backing down.

King Guanbei's eyes were cold, he looked Shen Yi up and down, and said, "What? Do you want to disobey this king's order? This king has decided to take this son of Gong Qianshan and Li Lilong today. ”

Shen Yi clenched his fists, his attitude was respectful, but his tone was extremely firm, and he said: "Back to the prince, this case has been taken over by Qingtianfu, and his subordinates have been ordered to investigate and handle it, and they will definitely investigate it to the end." These two people are the key witnesses in this case and will never be handed over to anyone. ”

King Guanbei raised his eyebrows, raised his hand and slapped it heavily on the counter, shaking the furnishings on it and jumping a few times on the spot, making a loud noise, and the old abacus that Wu San used to settle accounts rolled and fell, falling out of the way.

Wu Sanyan looked at the abacus, frowned, and made a bitter face, the look was even more painful than when he fell to the ground, and even showed vicious hatred in his eyes when he secretly looked at King Guanbei. He endured it again and again, but he still took advantage of the fact that the king of Guanbei was not paying attention, rubbed it carefully, picked up the abacus and held it in his arms.

How did Wu San feel distressed, but no one paid attention to it, and everyone's eyes fell on King Guanbei and Shen Yi.

King Guanbei slapped the table and got up, rushed to Shen Yi in a few steps, and faced him, his eyes were blazing with anger, and he wanted to burn him to ashes.

Under this flaming gaze, Shen Yi was like a breeze, not forced, nor moved, just looking at the other party quietly, as if he was doing nothing, but his momentum was strong, and he did not shy away at all.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and King Guanbei's eyes were a little dazed, and he said word by word: "You will never let these two people go?"

"No, it won't. Shen Yi said.

"Won't you die?" said King Guanbei through gritted teeth.

"Death will not be. Shen Yi said.

King Guanbei looked at Shen Yiliang carefully for a long time, suddenly smiled, took a few steps back and sat back in the chair, sat comfortably again, clapped his hands, and said: "Sure enough, it's a Jiangnan hero, okay, this king likes talents like you, why do you bother to run errands for that Yuwen? It's better to follow this king, and I won't treat you badly in the future." ”

Shen Yi listened to the solicitation in his words, and then remembered that when he was in Beijing, he had heard that the king of Guanbei was sitting on the frontier of the Great West Road, and he was ambitious, but now it seems that he is only afraid that the rumors are true. The king of Guanbei was originally a royal clan, and his achievements were high, and if there was any change, I was afraid that the border would be in crisis. He was worried, and said: "Lord Xie appreciates, his subordinates have no great ambitions, it is enough to just be able to serve in the Qingtian Mansion." ”

King Guanbei raised his eyes to look at him, rolled his eyelids, snorted, and said, "Okay, Shen Huwei has other ambitions, and this king doesn't force it." As for these two people, you said that they were the key to handling the case, so I will leave it to you for the time being. The king is stationed outside the city, and after ten days, you must give the king an explanation, otherwise, don't blame the king for being ruthless. "He dominates one side, he has always been flattered by others, and he is not the same, but today he has been frequently frustrated at Shen Yi's place, and he is resentful in his heart, if he is not still afraid of the imperial court, he would have ordered Shen Yi and others to be taken down by his troops.

Shen Yi thought about something else, under the current situation, Western Xia and Da Liao are eyeing the Great Song Dynasty, and the safety of this pass all depends on the body of this Guanbei king, no matter what, he can't watch the Guanbei defenders have any mistakes, so he asked: "May I ask why the prince doesn't garrison the army in the town?"

The king of Guanbei grinned and said, "How can this small town accommodate the three thousand iron cavalry elite soldiers brought by this king?" Or is it comfortable to set up a military tent outside the town. ”

Shen Yi said: "My subordinates don't know how to march and camp, but I heard that there will be sandstorms in the past few days, so I'm afraid of ......."

"What are you afraid of?" Before Shen Yi finished speaking, the king of Guanbei had already preemptively said: "This king has been marching in the desert for more than 20 years, and I haven't seen anything different, although the legend of the sandstorm in this Qiongta town is evil, but it is just a person with ulterior motives who messes around and blames the gods for making a mystery, this king can freely enter and exit in a million troops as if in a no-man's land, so why be afraid of this little sandstorm!" He suddenly turned his head and smiled at the high priest Ah Yue, who was standing in the distance, and said: " As for you moonlight clans, what gimmicks such as worshipping the heavens and paying tribute, this king has another major event this time, and he can't take care of you for the time being, and he will definitely rectify it in the future, and he will never let you and others deceive people's hearts and seek benefits. ”

The king of Guanbei had enough of his majesty, jumped up, and walked away with the soldiers, leaving behind a group of people in the wine hall, you look at me, I look at you, his eyes were full of suspicion and surprise, and the atmosphere was very depressing.

Liu Qingyun coughed lightly and said with a forced smile: "I'm hungry when I get up early in the morning and toss around like this." Liuhuai, go and bring out all the big cakes, porridge and pickles, although it is unpalatable, it is better than being hungry. ”

Liuhuai hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly went to the back hall to Zhang Luo.
