Come out alone.

He was covered in gold and silver jewelry.

But looking at his appearance, instead of being surprised by the treasure, his face was full of horror.

"Go quickly, there are monsters, there are monsters."

The man murmured and screamed in fear.

He wanted to escape, but the soldiers had already attacked and controlled him.

"What kind of monster is there?!"

Cheng Yaojin stepped forward and asked.

But the other party was already unconscious and could only murmur about monsters.

In the end, Cheng Yaojin had his gold, silver and jewelry removed, and his body was checked before he was taken away.

A person will not be let go. Take him back to Chang'an City first, and then ask about the situation after he has recovered.

In the following time, no one else came out except this person.

"Servant Fang, Mrs. Fang, I'm going back first."

The old Taoist priest said at this time.

"Taoist priest, are you really just here to open the door?"

Fang Yuan asked in confusion.

Du Miaoyan also looked at the old Taoist priest curiously.

It's strange, Liaozhou is thousands of miles away from here.

Is it such a long journey just to open the door?

Moreover, Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan both wondered why the key was on his body.

"Yes, our ancestors' rules have to be followed."

The old Taoist priest smiled bitterly.

"Then I won't send you off to the Taoist priest."

Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan looked at each other and smiled, but did not stop the old Taoist priest.

The two parties were together just now, and the old Taoist priest has nothing he wants, so he can let him go.

"See you again by fate." The old Taoist priest nodded heavily, but after taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Is your mission to keep an eye on the jade seal?"

Fang Yuan and others instantly became alert, and then looked at the old Taoist priest strangely.

Cheng Yaojin is even more prepared to forcefully keep the old Taoist priest.

"Looking at you, it should be."

"The old Taoist thinks that the time for the jade seal has not come yet, so there is no need for you to waste time."

The old Taoist priest smiled and said.

Saying that, San San looked at Fang Yuan and the others and slowly backed away.

Cheng Yaojin frowned and looked at Fang Yuan, considering whether to force him to stay.

Fang Yuan shook his head, stopped Cheng Yaojin's idea, and watched the old Taoist priest leave.

The other party is an old bastard. Whether he calculated it or just made random assumptions, it is all a well-intentioned move. There is no need to imprison the other party.

As for whether Li Shimin would be offended, it didn't matter. Anyway, Li Shimin only let himself keep an eye on the jade seal and the hidden treasure of the prince, and forget about other things.

"Shilang Fang, let him go like this?"

Cheng Yaojin approached Fang Yuan, stared in the direction of the old Taoist priest and said.

"If keeping him would offend the entire Taoist community, do you still want to force him to stay?"

Fang Yuan asked rhetorically.

When we were inside just now, Bishamon Military Advisor and Den Lingshi Zhimo did not kill the old Taoist priest to grab the key, which shows that their status is extraordinary.

As for whether he can represent this Taoist school, Fang Yuan is not sure, but if he can master one of the three keys, he must have a background.

"Then forget it."

Cheng Yaojin withdrew his gaze and said sarcastically.

He has some doubts about Fang Yuan's words, but will not pursue them.

Because before departure, the emperor said that he was only the deputy, and Fang Yuan was the person in charge.

Let the old Taoist priest go, and if the emperor wants to pursue it, he will also pursue Fang Yuan, so there is no need to confront Fang Yuan.

"Husband, I think what the old Taoist priest said is worth pondering."

Du Miaoyan said.

She has full trust in the old Taoist priest.

She also believed the old Taoist priest who said there would be no jade seal.

So I thought, since there is no jade seal, there is no need to stay here.

The main reason is that it is quite speechless to stay here without any concept of time.

"Let's send the news back to Chang'an City first."

Fang Yuan sighed.

Look at the sky, it’s already afternoon.

Let Cheng Yaojin find a good place to set up camp. We will stay here tonight.

Night falls.

Lishan is scary at night.

The temperature dropped several degrees, and the wind was blowing.

What’s even more terrifying is that from time to time you can hear the howls of jackals, tigers and leopards.

The sound was quite close, but it seemed that it was just lingering nearby due to the light of the fire.

However, the fact that wild animals dare not approach does not mean that people do not dare to approach. Occasionally, a figure approaches not far away, and has been killed several times.

Several soldiers were killed, and several of their opponents were killed, so the night passed peacefully.

The next day, there was still no movement at the Bronze Gate exit.

From time to time, people break in at the entrance, and screams are heard from time to time.

"Five brothers died last night. If it continues like this tonight, our morale will plummet."

Cheng Yaojin said with a solemn expression.

Those present were all imperial guards from the palace, all of whom had come down from the battlefield.

They either kill the enemy to serve the country, or protect the emperor's safety, but now they do these things against the people they once protected.

It's okay if the time is short, but if it takes a long time, morale will definitely be low, and the prevention of sneak attacks at night will be greatly reduced.

"Let's wait for the feedback news."

Fang Yuan doesn’t want to stay here either, but what can he do?

Li Shimin's order was so weird that he even forgot to ask the time.

When I sent someone to escort that person back yesterday, I asked them to ask about the situation.

"Alas, this is the only way."

Cheng Yaojin sighed.

He has been marching and fighting for many years and has experienced all kinds of wars.

But I stayed in this poor place all day, not only feeding the mosquitoes, but also being attacked by some people and killing them.

It was until the afternoon, but there was still no one at the exit of the Bronze Gate, and Fang Yuan's team was assassinated again.

This assassination was not a small number, but hundreds of well-trained teams appeared, carried out a sneak attack, and then left.

This wave of assassinations caused Fang Yuan and others to lose more than ten brothers, making everyone extremely angry.

"I finally understand why Lishan is so scary and why Du Chuke and the others were defeated."

"It would be strange if we don't defeat a situation like this. Anyone can suffer from this situation every day."

Cheng Yaojin complained.

But he was comfortable complaining in front of Fang Yuan and others.

When facing other soldiers, he is positive and encouraging.

"That's right."
