Facing the huge wind and snow, he came to the gate of the south gate of Wangchuan City, Xu Yan stopped in front of the city gate and looked up at the high wall in front of him.

Outside the high walls, in the past few months, he has encountered continuous interceptions, which can be described as turbulent, but in fact, he knows very well that the root of all this basically comes from those powerful families with absolute dominance in the city in front of him.

Compared with the Baishan Spring Hunt in the first half of the year, there is no doubt that since this road to the north, its danger level is much higher, after all, in that spring hunt, Wu Hao's strength is certainly outstanding, but Xu Yan is not weak in the slightest, as for those spirit beasts that grow among the mountains and rivers, there are indeed not a few who are stronger than Xu Yan, but in the end, the spirit beasts that have not yet transformed are still very different from people.

Therefore, when Xu Yan broke away from the protection of the sect and walked alone on this lonely road to the north, he really felt how crazy those who thought about him were.

"I want to see, I'm now in your own place, you dare to touch me!"

Xu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and as far as his eyes could see, there were several soldiers guarding the city gate.

If you want to enter Wangchuan Castle, the rules are completely different from when entering other towns, because entering the county town requires a strict check by the guards, and only after the guards confirm that the person entering the city is not a dangerous person, can you be successfully released.

After Xu Yan stopped for a moment, he didn't stop and strode towards the county town with his feet raised.

"Those who want to enter the city should first report their history, and then be checked, and then they can enter the city after we have confirmed that it is correct. ”

When it was Xu Yan's turn, he accepted the same procedure as the merchants and passers-by.

"Who's coming? ”

After Xu Yan was briefly searched and confirmed to be safe, he came to the second level.

Xu Yan replied in a calm tone: "Xu Pu, a native of Xujia Village, Daping Township, Jinxi Town. ”

Hearing him answer, the soldier in charge of recording the copywriting couldn't help but look up at him, a trace of suspicion flashed inexplicably in his eyes, and he then asked Xu Yan: "Are you from Daping Township?

Xu Yan heard that the passers-by before him only needed to answer the name and the way he came, but now he had to answer the reason for the process, and he couldn't help frowning, but in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, he still replied in a gentle tone: "Come to the county town to visit relatives, and by the way, spend the New Year at a relative's house." ”

Hearing Xu Yan's answer, the soldier nodded, this reason is reasonable, after all, it is now the thirteenth day of the lunar month, and it will be the New Year in more than half a month.

So, the soldier didn't say anything more, but said to Xu Yan: "Okay, you can enter the city." ”

Xu Yan saw that the other party did not continue to interrogate him, nodded slightly, and then strode towards the city, however, before he could walk out a few steps, a stern voice suddenly sounded behind him, only to hear someone shouting: "Slow!"

However, after hearing the sound, all the passers-by present immediately stopped, but they simply ignored it and continued to walk forward.

"I'll tell you to stop, are you deaf?"

Seeing that the person he wanted to call was completely ignoring his own orders, as a man in his early thirties who was currently in the position of captain among these soldiers, his tone unconsciously became a little heavier.

Seeing that the other party was deliberately targeting himself, Xu Yan knew that it was impossible for him to enter the city safely, but he was not a timid person, so he stopped, then tilted his head slightly, and asked the man behind him: "I don't know why Your Excellency suddenly told me to stop?" ”

Hearing Xu Yan say this, Wu Chang couldn't help but sneer, and said with some meaning: "Yes, I can't see it, right?"

Without waiting for Xu Yan to say anything, the captain walked up to the soldier in charge of the second review, took the book in the latter's hand to record the information of passers-by, and then asked the soldier in an indifferent tone: "Xu Qi, as far as I know, you are also from Xujia Village, Daping Township, Jinxi Township, why, this young man looks only a few years younger than you, do you not greet you when you see this village?" Or do you not know each other at all?"

When Xu Qi heard the other party say this, his heart suddenly cooled, he really didn't know Xu Yan, but he didn't look like Xu Yan was a bad person, so he didn't plan to make things difficult for him, just let him go into the city, after all, in normal times, he didn't do a lot of this kind of thing, otherwise everyone who was a little uncertain would have to go through a strict review, and they would only be five people, so they wouldn't be exhausted to death after a long time?

However, he never expected that Captain Wu, who had always been ignorant of this kind of thing, would suddenly intervene at this moment.

Xu Qi is not a wooden person, and he is also familiar with the sage books, and then through his own efforts, step by step down-to-earth to get to this point, officially joined the army for training, although if he is smooth in the future, most of them can only take the road of civil officials, but can rely on reading to enter the official career, which in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the difficulty is much more difficult than the military attaché.

However, in this era of emphasizing martial arts and ignoring literature, the scholars who are willing to really study with their hearts have not yet mixed into the big dye vat, and their temperament is still relatively upright and high, so it would be too difficult for Xu Qi to lie and make up a lie that he and Xu Yan are old acquaintances.

Seeing Xu Qi after being questioned, his face was red but he didn't know how to answer the words of the Wu Chief, Xu Yan, who was standing not far away, couldn't help but sigh slightly in his heart, he took over the topic and said to the Wu Chief: "Cousin Xu Qi doesn't know me, I grew up in a foreign country with my parents since I was a child, and I didn't return to the village with this parent until last month, but Cousin Xu Qi doesn't know me, you should know my parents, oh, my father's name is Xu Yuqiang." ”

When Xu Qi heard Xu Yan say this, he instantly understood that the other party was looking for him to go down the stairs, of course he was no longer a stunned young man, and immediately pretended to be abrupt, and replied: "It turns out that you are the child of Uncle Yuqiang, and you know each other, every Qingming Festival, your father will go back to the village to sweep the tomb, I have seen it this year." ”

However, the Wu Commander, who was standing next to him and looked at all this coldly, was obviously not so easy to be fooled, and when he shouted: "Don't pretend to be here!" Xu Qi, do you know what a crime it is for you to let dangerous people into the county town without permission, you are still just a soldier who has yet to be verified and is being trained, and you don't even cover your ass, so you want to shield the villains?"

Xu Qi heard Captain Wu say this, and immediately felt a little frightened, after all, he was still a rookie, but he was not an old oilman in the military, so he naturally looked a little nervous, and in addition, what will be his future promotion journey, now you have to look at the face of the Captain Wu in front of him, if the other party finally deliberately splashes him with dirty water when facing the peak, then his career is equivalent to being cold before it starts.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Xu Qi to offend his Wu Commander too much for the sake of a young man he has never met, so in the end, he can only support himself and take the initiative to show weakness and say: "The little one doesn't dare." ”

Wu Chang didn't have too much mood to worry about Xu Qi at the moment, seeing that he took the initiative to show weakness, most of the evil anger in his heart disappeared, but he snorted coldly, this matter can be regarded as a temporary turning page, and then, he focused his attention on Xu Yan, and then walked slowly in front of him, and asked coldly: "Who are you, you haven't recruited from the truth, if you dare to pretend indiscriminately, don't blame this Wu Chang for not being emotional!"

Xu Yan saw that the other party directly defined him as a villain, and he had already noticed in his heart that the other party obviously wanted to deliberately find fault with him, but he didn't know the reason, and now that he heard the other party say this, he naturally couldn't change his words, otherwise it would be equivalent to confirming the other party's previous remarks, and would continue to wantonly smear him on this basis.

Xu Yan was slightly angry in his heart, but his face was still unshocked, the other party was just a martial artist who had just stepped into the second-grade realm, but he dared to step forward and interrogate him like this, I really don't know if the latter was too ignorant, or if the latter had already received some huge benefits.

But in the end, Xu Yan still replied without changing his face: "What I said before is true, I, Xu Pu, am originally from Daping Township, Jinxi Town, so why is it necessary to lie to a few officials in this kind of matter?"

Wu Chang didn't think that he could ask anything from Xu Yan's mouth, the reason why he wanted to keep Xu Yan was because he accidentally saw his subordinate before, and attributed this person's information to Xujia Village, Daping Township, but in the end, Xu Qi showed that he didn't know this person at all, which couldn't help but remind him that more than a month ago, he also received another very important task, that is, to pay attention to a young man who is said to be from Xujia Village, Baoxi Township, Jinxi Township.

Since he has this kind of task on his body, it is normal for this Wu Chang to have an extra eye in his heart when he sees the three words of Xujiacun, but what he never expected was that more than a month after he received the task, and the New Year was about to be celebrated, he originally thought that he would never meet any people from Xujiacun again, but in the end he was met by him.

is also Xujia Village, but whether the person in front of him is from Daping Township or Baoxi Township is a world of difference for Wu Chang, because if the other party is really from Daping Township, then it has nothing to do with the task he received.

But if it was Xujia Village in Baoxi Township, then he could basically conclude now that this person was the young man he wanted to pay attention to.

Wu Chang saw Xu Yan as if he was determined that he was Daping Township, and his face was indifferent, but in fact, in his heart, he was already overjoyed, because according to the agreement of the person who gave him this task, as long as he had the exact news of the person in front of him, he could get a very rich reward, but what if he took it down now and personally escorted it to that person's hands, what would it do?

Thinking of this, Wu Chang couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and revealed a hint of coldness, and then said coldly to Xu Yan: "Okay, you crazy person who doesn't know what to do, since you insist on lying, then it's no wonder that Wu Chang didn't remind you in advance." ”

After saying this, the captain waved his right hand forward, and said coldly to the two burly soldiers behind him who were in charge of taking people: "Come on, quickly take down this villain for me!"

Seeing the two soldiers who received the military order, they directly wanted to come forward to arrest him, Xu Yan's deep eyes were also cold for an instant, and at this moment, he had completely understood that the person in front of him was determined to deal with him.

Xu Yan didn't stop the two soldiers from getting closer to him, and he didn't bother to talk to the man in front of him anymore, because he knew that today's matter could not have any chance to be properly handled.

However, just before the two of them approached him completely, he still opened his mouth to the Wu Chang in front of him and asked: "I know, you are determined to arrest me, otherwise you wouldn't have thought about pushing me into the water as soon as you opened your mouth, but have you thought about it, if what I said before, everything is indeed true? Do you just arrest people in front of so many people?"

Where does the chief of Wu not know that he is bluffing, besides, since ancient times, the people do not fight with officials, he is a serious military background, although now there are two out of thirty, he is still the most inconspicuous commander in all official positions, but as long as he can handle the matter in front of him well, he will have a chance to be promoted to the rank of knight, and the carp jumps the dragon gate and slaps on the thighs of others.

Therefore, Xu Yan's words at this moment did not play any dissuasive role in him, but made him feel that this person must be taken down.

He replied coldly: "If I really caught you wrong, then after a strict verification, I would let you go unharmed, but now you keep saying that you are innocent, but are you really innocent?

When Xu Yan heard this, he nodded in recognition of the words in the latter's mouth unexpectedly, and even couldn't help but have a cruel smile, and he said in a cold tone: "What you said also makes sense, but it's a pity that you don't have that chance." ”

After Xu Yan said this, Wu Chang saw that in his perception, the other party seemed to be just an ordinary scholar, but he disappeared in an instant, and when he saw the other party's face clearly, the scholar had already grabbed his neck with one hand, and then slowly lifted him up from the ground with one hand.

When all the people present saw this scene, they all showed a huge look of surprise, and even some of the cowards couldn't help but scream, however, Xu Yan, who grabbed Wu Chang's neck with one hand, didn't care about it at all, but instead increased the strength in his hand, and then under the fierce struggle of the other party, he easily sent the other party to Huangquan.

Seeing Xu Yan in front of him, he killed his own captain, and the two soldiers who were going to arrest him immediately stopped their follow-up movements, and became a little trembling, because the strength of the captain was much stronger than the two of them who had just stepped into the cultivation world.

Since even the Wu Commander didn't have the slightest resistance to this young man, then with their cultivation that was only a little stronger than ordinary people, it was naturally even more vulnerable.

Bang!

Xu Yan casually discarded the corpse in his hand under a corner of the city gate, and then shook his hand dirty.

He didn't go any further at the remaining four soldiers, but just glanced at them with an indifferent expression, since they didn't kill themselves, there was no need for him to go on a killing spree here.

The reason why he wanted to kill this Wu Chang was to have an effect of killing chickens and setting an example, so as not to let these minions continue to entangle him, and more importantly, he could feel that this Wu Chang was fighting for him like this, and his own purpose was not pure, and it was even very likely that the other party had guessed his identity through some side branches, so killing him directly was undoubtedly the best choice.

Xu Yan glanced at the two soldiers closest to him, and seeing that their eyes showed a look of fear, he didn't frighten them anymore, but turned his gaze to the young man named Xu Qi again.

He didn't care about the other party's choice to protect himself at the last moment, and did not stand in his position to continue to round the story made up on the scene for him, because he understood the real reason why the other party would do this, and this is also the instinctive principle that he must have when dealing with people, and look at the essence of things from a rational and objective perspective.

He said to Xu Qi in a calm tone: "As a scholar, it is a good thing to be able to have good intentions, this is your own conscience, but when performing your duties and performing official duties, you must be truly realistic, only in this way will you not be ashamed of the sage books you have read hard in the cold window, and all the truths you have heard in your ears, so today's events, you can also record them truthfully according to what you see in your eyes." ”

After Xu Yan finished saying this, he turned around and was about to enter the county town, but just as he was about to lift his feet, he seemed to suddenly think of something, so he stopped his movements.

He turned his head to Xu Qi and continued: "By the way, if someone wants to embarrass you after learning about this, you can say that I am waiting for them at the Fulu Inn, so that they will not find their way." ”

......

Until Xu Yan completely disappeared from his field of vision, Xu Qi stood in place, still a little frightened, because the other party's behavior was really unheard of for him.

He glanced at the Wu Commander who had died in the corner, but he wondered if he should thank the young man who looked a few years younger than him, but was much more mature and spicy in thought.

"What a reckless, but well-hidden master!"

Xu Qi, who came back to his senses, thought so.
