"General Sikong, today is my little girl's birthday. It doesn't seem like you are here to congratulate me." Master Yang frowned and looked at the man in front of him. Behind him, he saw groups of fully armed soldiers marching across the street.

It's so clogged that water can't leak out.

The person confronting Master Yang was Sikong Wenzhan, Sikong Chen’s father, and Sikong Wenzhan, the general of the Yunling City garrison. This man had a very murderous aura, and there was always a murderous look in his eyes. More importantly,

This person seems to have a very deep city. He is not as impetuous as Sikong Chen. He is a complete playboy.

"Master Yang, I'm sorry. This general is here to arrest the thieves who disturbed the peace and order in Yunling City. I ask Master Yang to be accommodating. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless." Sikong Wenzhan said expressionlessly.

"Love? Is the general throwing a banquet a show of love?" Master Yang said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

Sikong Wenzhan was too domineering, which had caused dissatisfaction in the entire Yunling City. As a soldier, he was loyal to the country, managed the army well, and was a good soldier. If not for this, Master Yang would have reported to the court to replace him. But today

No one could bear it when Sikong Wenzhan slapped him in the face in front of many colleagues.

At this time, the innkeeper Cao came over with Yang Yidi.

"Xiaodie, what's going on with you!?" Master Yang saw that Yang Yidi's hair was scattered and even the shawl yarn was torn, so he quickly walked to Yang Yidi and asked with concern.

Everyone present looked at each other. Yang Yidi was usually a shy girl. How could she attend with such an image today? Did something really happen?

"Uncle Sikong, you must help me catch those four people! Woohoo! They went north!" After Yang Yidi told Master Yang "what happened", she became more and more aggrieved.

He even walked up to Sikong Wenzhan, holding his armor with one hand and wiping his tears with the other, crying.

Sikong Wenzhan narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Yidi who was complaining to him, still deciding whether it was true or false.

"Xiaodie, did one of those four men have a broken arm?" Sikong Wenzhan remained expressionless, obviously he didn't believe what Yang Yidi said. He thought that Yang Yidi used this method to deceive him.

It was a pity that he deliberately changed two pieces of information and asked.

If Yang Yidi knew what Sikong Wenzhan was thinking, she wouldn't have to be so nervous. Although she promised Yi Wen and others that she would lure Sikong Wenzhan away, she still underestimated Sikong Wenzhan and didn't expect him to ask these questions.

The problem is, she feels like she will be exposed at any time now.

"It's not that the hand is broken. One of them is lame, and there are two children and a woman. Miss Yang may be frightened. General, please forgive me!" Boss Cao was also nervous at the side. He could clearly feel Yang Yidi.

Feeling a little guilty, I quickly made peace.

Fortunately, Sikong Wenzhan was so intent on catching Yi Wen and others that they didn't pay attention to these details.

After listening to Boss Cao's words, Sikong Wenzhan nodded without showing any emotion or anger. He glanced at Mr. Yang for the last time and left the inn.

After Sikong Wenzhan left, the banquet was no longer interesting. Many people present could see Master Yang's displeasure, so they walked up to Master Yang, said some words of comfort and left in a hurry.

It was almost evening when everyone in the inn was gone. Master Yang glanced at Shopkeeper Cao and Yang Yidi, sighed and shook his head.

"Shopkeeper Cao, don't be nervous. Xiaodie, tell me what's going on."

Yang Yidi hesitated for a moment and then told Master Yang the whole story. Master Yang

After understanding what happened, he wasn't angry at all. He just touched Yang Yidi's head as if he was thinking about something.

"Let's go and see if the people upstairs are still there."

Shopkeeper Cao took the Yang family's father and daughter to the room where Yi Wen and the others were. After seeing Sikong Wenzhan and others leaving the room, Yi Wen and the others also welcomed them out.

"Are you the one who injured Sikong Chen?" Master Yang looked at Yi Wen and asked.

"Hello, Master Yang, my name is Yi Wen." Yi Wen cupped his fists and bowed slightly to Master Yang.

Master Yang sighed. From a personal point of view, it didn't matter that Yi Wen beat Sikong Chen and he didn't care. But from the perspective of the city master, Sikong Chen was a member of the garrison and held the rank of general.

Somewhat difficult to handle.

This matter is not a big deal, it is just a beating of someone! There is nothing wrong with adjustment and negotiation. But Yi Wen didn’t want to hit anyone, so he hit Sikong Chen. In the eyes of outsiders, the Sikong family represented

Considering the face of Yunling City, if this matter spreads from one person to another, he may also get into trouble due to the pressure of public opinion.

"You guys come with me." After Master Yang finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Dad! You can't do this!" Yang Yidi thought her father was going to accuse them, so she quickly held her father's hand to prevent him from leaving.

"Xiaodie, is this the kind of person your father is in your heart?" Master Yang said with a bitter smile.

"Dad, what do you think you should do? Anyway, you can't hand them over to that beast like Sikong Chen." Yang Yidi stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and pulled Master Yang's sleeves and said coquettishly.

"Leave here first. When General Sikong and the others find out that they have been cheated, they will definitely come back to find someone." Master Yang touched Yang Yidi's head and said.

As expected, not long after Master Yang and others left Shopkeeper Cao's shop, Sikong Wenzhan led people back here. Of course, Master Yang would not let Shopkeeper Cao stay in the inn, and directly told Shopkeeper Cao not to open the shop recently.

Well, it won't be too late to reopen after the matter is resolved.

Sikong Wenzhan, who discovered that he had been deceived, was not angry at all. Instead, he asked his men to keep two good men, and the rest returned to the military camp. He took his two subordinates to the city mansion to find Master Yang.

The palace of Yunling City is located at the intersection of the two main streets in the city. It is more like an ordinary residence than a city. Compared with ordinary residences, "big" is its only feature. This is still the case when Master Yang comes

It was later repaired, and before Master Yang came to Yunling City, the city hall of Yunling City was no different from a dilapidated prison.

Sikong Wenzhan came to the gate of the city by a familiar route. The gatekeeper of the city received the news that anyone coming today must be notified in advance. However, as soon as the guard was about to step forward to stop Sikong Wenzhan, he was pushed away by two of his subordinates.

.

At this time, Master Yang was drinking tea and reading alone in the courtyard. Sikong Wenzhan's arrival did not seem to have any impact on him. It seemed that it was difficult to even raise his eyes to look at him.

Sikong Wenzhan was not in a hurry, so he pulled out a stool and sat across from Master Yang. When Sikong Wenzhan saw that Master Yang ignored him, he was not angry and just sat there with his arms folded and his eyes closed to relax.

After a while, Master Yang seemed to have finished reading. He slowly closed the book in his hand, filled the teacup he had prepared long ago and handed it to Sikong Wenzhan.

Sikong Wenzhan looked at the cup filled with tea in front of him expressionlessly, tutted his lips, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"It seems that Master Yang already knew that this general was coming?"

"If the general doesn't come today, then you are not Sikong Wenzhan."

Although Sikong Wenzhan is not as experienced as Ao Dingyuan, his qualifications are enough to be envied by many people in Gu'an, and the murderous aura he exudes anytime and anywhere is enough to make ordinary people tremble.

And with Sikong Wenzhan's character, if someone dared to treat him with a cup of tea and ignore him like just now, he would have exploded long ago. But now he is still sitting firmly in front of Master Yang, which shows that Master Yang

There must be something extraordinary about it.

"Master, how have you considered this matter?"

"Oh? What is General Sikong asking about?" Master Yang thought that Sikong Wenzhan came in person for Yi Wen and others, but he didn't expect that with his character, he could keep silent about this matter.

"Master Yang, you know better than me. There is nothing worthy of further investigation about the child's injury. I have heard about what he did in the city. As long as Master Yang can recommend me to the court as the city lord of Yunling City,

, the previous matters are naturally written off."

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is easier for civil servants to climb up the ranks than military officers. Master Yang is very clear about Sikong Wenzhan's ambition. If it were not for him, Master Yang would not be sent here.

It is normal to have certain ambitions when becoming an official in the imperial court, but Sikong Wenzhan is too eager for quick success. Before Master Yang came to Yunling City, someone told him that Sikong Wenzhan would be promoted sooner or later. It was just one chance away. They sent Master Yang to come

The purpose here is to stabilize Sikong Wenzhan and prevent him from acting rashly to avoid doing something irreversible.

"General Sikong, let me give you a thorough explanation today." Master Yang took a sip of tea and said.

Sikong Wenzhan also had his own plans in mind. He had served the country for twenty years and was a man of great merit in the war between the two countries. Time is not forgiving, and now he is gradually no longer qualified for the position of commanding troops in war.

, in other words, if he had been in Yunling City, his official career would have ended here. He was ambitious and wanted to move from military attache to civilian official to a higher place, at least leaving a certain family background for future generations.

"Master Yang, please speak." Sikong Wenzhan's heart moved, but he still looked at Master Yang expressionlessly.

"Actually, with the general's ability, it's only a matter of time before he takes over. Why should the general be in a hurry?"

"Sorry to bother you." Sikong Wenzhan nodded and said lightly before leaving the city with his two subordinates.

After Sikong Wenzhan left, Yi Wen and others followed Yang Yidi and walked out of a nearby room.

"Dad! You are so awesome!" Yang Yidi happily hugged Master Yang and said after coming out. Although she didn't understand what they just said, but since she had been sent away by Sikong Wenzhan, it meant that everything was fine.

"Master Yang, thank you for your kindness today." Yi Wen and others saluted Master Yang.

"You don't need to thank me. If Xiaodie wasn't involved, I wouldn't have helped you." Master Yang didn't express his gratitude, he just glanced at Yi Wen and others lightly and said.

"Since everything is fine, you should leave early tomorrow morning. I can protect you for a while, but I can't protect you all the time. You won't be able to stay in Yunling City for long anyway."
