Chapter 21

At this time, the entire Luomashi Street was deserted. The wine flags and signboards of the taverns and shops on both sides were motionless, as if they were frozen by the strange atmosphere. Looking from a distance, the straight street extended to the north, with an end at the end.

We fell into the mist again, and could not see clearly clearly. There was a faint noise outside the stone archway behind us, but the Luomashi Street was eerily silent.

Zhuang Hengyun jumped down and said to Yu Changyuan: "Brother, let's exit the stone archway. I think there may be an ambush ahead."

Yu Changyuan's eyes widened and he said: "If there is an ambush in front, our retreat will definitely be cut off from behind. Whether you or I will advance or retreat today, I want to see who wants to block my way."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out his hands from his waist and held the judge's pen in his hand. He turned his head and raised his right hand and said: "Everyone, please continue to move forward, please be careful!"

Yu Changyuan kicked the horse with both feet, and the horse under his crotch walked forward slowly. The horse's hoof stepped on the bluestone, making a clear clicking sound, which could be heard far away on the silent Luoma City Street.

.When everyone in Wuhu Villa saw the owner of the villa walking forward proudly, their courage suddenly increased, and they followed him.

Yan Dufei and Li Qiufeng were walking in the middle of the team. Li Qiufeng said: "Yu Changyuan is worthy of being the master of Wuhu Villa. No one else can pretend to be this powerful."

Yan Dufei chuckled and said, "It's just that he looks fierce and has a weak heart. I bet that this old boy must be feeling very anxious at this moment."

Li Qiufeng smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yan, if there is an enemy ambushing us, who will it be?"

Yan Dufei said: "How can anyone clear a street to ambush you? This is obviously an invitation to bury you in a trap! Tongzhou City is the gateway to the capital, and there are heavy troops stationed there. Which sect in the martial arts world can destroy the most popular street in Tongzhou City in broad daylight?

The streets have been cleared? The garrison in Tongzhou City is only responsible for water transportation, and the public security in the city is under the jurisdiction of Shuntianfu Yamen. It's okay for those fast-moving government officials to scare the people, but don't even think about making enemies of Wuhu Villa."

When Yan Dufei said this, he glanced at Li Qiufeng and said, "If Brother Yu guessed correctly, the person standing in front is either Dongchang or Jinyiwei. I'm afraid Brother Li will meet an old friend soon."

After half a stick of incense, the group had reached the middle of Luomashi Street. At this moment, Yu Changyuan suddenly reined in his horse and stopped. As soon as he stopped, the entire group also stopped immediately.

But he saw a person sitting in the middle of the street dozens of steps ahead.

This man is wearing a red flying fish suit, with a large flying fish pattern embroidered on the chest and small flying fish patterns embroidered on the shoulders. The middle of the lower skirt is embroidered with a flying fish pattern, and the sides are embroidered with small flying fish patterns. There are several pleats on the front and back. He wears a gauze crown on his head and looks pale.

, a pair of narrow eyes that seem to be open and closed, and a short beard under the chin. He is sitting on a mahogany bench, with his feet spread apart, his left hand touching his knees, and his right hand holding a long sword.

This long sword is quite different from the long swords used by people in the world. The scabbard is jet black, and the hilt is surprisingly long, almost five inches long. It looks extremely weird.

The whole long street was still empty, which made this man even more tall and mighty.

Yu Changyuan was startled for a moment, then hurriedly rolled off his saddle and hurried forward. He did not stop until he was more than ten steps away from the man. He bowed and saluted: "I didn't expect that your Excellency would actually come to Tongzhou. I didn't even greet you, so why not?"

Please forgive me, sir!"

The remaining four owners of Wuhu Villa also hurriedly dismounted, took a few steps forward, bowed and saluted, not even daring to raise their heads.

Yan Dufei and Li Qiufeng also jumped off their horses and stood among the villagers. Yan Dufei saw that the flying fish suit the man was wearing had two horns on its head, and knew that this was not an ordinary flying fish suit.

It is a python garment that can only be worn by the highest-ranking officials in the Jinyi Guard. This kind of python garment must be rewarded by the emperor before it can be worn, otherwise it will be treason and a grave crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

Yan Dufei asked in a low voice: "Brother Li, who is this person?"

"Deputy Commander of the Jinyi Guards, Yun Feiyang."

Yun Feiyang opened his eyes, smiled slightly and said, "It's been a few years since we last seen each other. I hope the master of the village is fine."

Yu Changyuan saluted repeatedly, trying his best to flatter him: "Thanks to Lord Yun, I'm actually in good health."

Yun Feiyang nodded and said: "Master Yu brought so many brothers with him today, where are they going to make a fortune?"

Yu Changyuan felt a shiver in his heart. Before setting off, everyone had already thought of excuses in order to deal with possible interrogations on the way. However, they thought that the people they met on the way were just ordinary officers and soldiers, but they did not expect that the dignified deputy commander of the Jinyi Guards would actually arrive in Tongzhou.

So when he heard Yun Feiyang's question, he was still a little panicked. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "I'd like to inform you that I have to go back to Jinan Mansion to do business this time."

"Oh, I forgot that Master Yu's hometown is in Jinan Mansion." Yun Feiyang stroked his short beard with his left hand and said, "If the matter is difficult to handle, just tell me. Shandong Chengxuan's Secretary of State

Mr. Wu is an old friend of mine for many years. If Master Yu is in trouble, he can help."

"How dare you, a little man, do any work, sirs!" Yu Changyuan repeatedly said with cupped hands: "To be honest, the patriarch of my hometown sent a message from Jinan Mansion the day before yesterday. The clan ancestral hall has been in disrepair for a long time and has just been renovated recently. The little man has also gone out to repair the ancestral hall.

With a lot of money, I am kindly invited by my fellow clan members to go back to Jinan Mansion and worship the ancestors of the Yu family together."

Yun Feiyang said unhurriedly: "Drink water and think of the source. Master Yu is indeed a loyal and filial believer. It costs a lot of money to rebuild the clan ancestral hall. I wonder how much Master Yu paid?"

Yu Changyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "I can't remember the exact amount, but it's always more than a thousand taels of silver."

Yun Feiyang smiled slightly and said: "Zhuang Master Yu is indeed a rich man near the capital. He spends one thousand taels of silver. This amount of money is enough to buy a five-story house in the capital. I admire you, I admire you."

Yu Changyuan was startled, his knees weakened, and he immediately fell to his knees and said in a trembling voice: "What you say is really shocking to me. Thanks to your care, I have earned a few small sums of money. How dare I say anything?"

Rich man, sir, you are joking."

Yun Feiyang waved his hand and signaled Yu Yuanyuan to stand up. He continued: "It's good that Master Yu understands the joints. In the past, Ma Kongkong just didn't understand this truth, so he ended up like this. It should be noted that the emperor has the greatest power between heaven and earth.

.The officials think highly of you and reward you with a mouthful of food, so that you will not starve to death. Therefore, you must be careful when doing things. If you deliberately deceive each other, you will inevitably be evil in your heart. In the end, you will be ruined, your wife and children will be separated, and you will become the laughing stock of others.

Then it’s not worth it.”

Yu Changyuan was sweating profusely, and even the clothes on his back were soaked through. He dared not answer the question, but kept bowing and saying yes.

Yun Feiyang stood up, walked slowly for a few steps, and said: "A big event happened in the capital a few days ago. I believe Master Yu also heard about it."

"Yes, I heard rumors from my friends in the world that someone escaped from the prison. If I met these fugitives, I would personally capture them and hand them over to you."

Yun Feiyang said: "Master Yu, you and I have been old friends for many years. I might as well tell you something. The escaped prisoner's name is Yan Dufei. You must have heard of this man's name. Master Yu

With your martial arts skills, I wonder if I can capture this Yan Dufei?"

The Three Deadly Musketeers of Qinghai have been famous for more than 20 years, although they rarely appear in the Central Plains martial arts. But in the past, Qiao Sinan traveled across the Central Plains, defeating several top players in the world, and made a big name. Although Yan Dufei was angry

He was at the bottom of the list, but he had also defeated the leader of the Dian Cang Sect. Yu Changyuan was quite embarrassed when he heard Yun Feiyang ask. If he said that his martial arts was better than Yan Dufei, he would probably be the butt of laughter, and if he said that he was not as good as Yan Dufei

, but he was unwilling to do so. He could only say: "I will definitely try my best to capture this important criminal."

Yun Feiyang said: "It's the best if Master Yu has such a heart. But the journey is far away. Seeing how much luggage Master Yu has brought, there must be a lot of gold and silver in it. From the capital to Shandong,

There are a lot of green forest bandits along the way, and some dirty officials will take the opportunity to extort money. For example, when Master Yu went to Tongzhou this time, he spent a hundred taels of silver on the guards of the city."

Yu Yuanyuan was shocked, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat. The four people behind him were also shocked. They didn't expect that such a confidential matter would be known to Yun Feiyang, and they were afraid that things would not go well today.
