The captain's eyes were almost on Leng Changxi's face. Leng Changxi's smile froze on her face. She cautiously took half a step back, fearing that the distance would be too close and the skin on her face would be exposed to him.
That would be a bad thing. At this moment, her heart was pounding, her mind was blank, the sweat on her back soaked her clothes, and her eyes were slightly panicked, but she didn't dare to make it too obvious, otherwise it wouldn't be here
No more three hundred taels of silver?
Chen Shaoxuan clenched his fists tightly, and veins protruded on the back of his hands. If Yang Jian hadn't pulled him, he might have rushed forward by now.
"Sir, you really know how to joke. I am a seven-foot tall man. How can you say that I am a woman disguised as a man? Aren't you insulting a villain?" Leng Changxi's face turned red because of nervousness, and she frowned.
He frowned and pretended to be angry, but he had some real meaning.
As soon as he said these words, the captain couldn't help but have some doubts again, wondering if he had too many doubts, but after all, it was a major matter explained by the superiors. He would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, so he snorted coldly.
He said: "Then prove your true identity..."
As soon as the word "body" came out, Leng Changxi suddenly changed her color and took two steps back. Chen Shaoxuan's eyes darkened and he was about to take action when he suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the women's team.
"Why do you catch me? Let me go!"
"What are you talking about! Take it away quickly!"
"Let go of your dog claws, or I'll cut off your hand!"
When the captain heard the argument, he frowned and took a step back. Leng Changxi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"What's going on?" The captain turned his head and looked in that direction and shouted loudly.
Upon hearing his question, a guard immediately ran over, stood in front of him and replied respectfully: "We found a suspicious woman, but that woman is very aggressive. She refused to be taken away and even threatened everyone's lives."
"Who is so bold? Let me go and see!" The guard said and was about to leave. The guard who was blocking Leng Changxi on the side stopped the captain with some embarrassment. He glanced at Leng Changxi and asked: "Captain
, what should I do with this person?”
The captain took a deep look at Leng Changxi and said casually: "Let her go!" Then he strode towards the source of the chaos.
Hearing this, Leng Changxi and the others breathed a sigh of relief. While feeling lucky, they did not forget to look at the women's team with gratitude. If someone hadn't caused trouble, Leng Changxi would have been arrested by now.
But when they saw this, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. It was none other than the troublemaker, Li Xueyan. Immediately, Chen Shaoxuan exchanged a look with Yang Jian, and Yang Jian quietly nodded and disappeared into the team, heading back.
Then Chen Shaoxuan and Leng Changxi walked out of the city gate first.
"What's going on?" The captain looked fiercely and stared at Li Xueyan with fierce eyes.
But she, Li Xueyan, was not scared. She glared back without fear and said, "Why do your people arrest me?"
"Why? Just because you are a suspect!" The captain was used to being arrogant, but when he saw Li Xueyan being so arrogant, he immediately became angry.
"What suspect? Are your eyes open?" When Li Xueyan heard this, her eyes widened with anger. She had never been angry since she was a child. When she heard that the captain had wronged her so much, she felt so angry in her heart.
It spilled out immediately.
She snatched the portrait from the guard on the side and spread it out to the side of her face. She compared it with her own appearance and said in a choked voice: "Open your dog eyes and take a look. How do I look like this portrait?"
The captain had always been used to being praised by his subordinates. How could he bear someone insulting him like this? When he heard Leng Changxi's words, his eyes suddenly burst with anger and he wanted to kill her.
"Even if it's not like that, it's still a crime for you to insult the officers and soldiers! Come on! Get them!" The captain yelled, and a group of minions immediately surrounded him, all with spears and knives in their hands.
Li Xueyan's eyes turned red with anger when she saw this, and she stared at the captain with round eyes. She had never seen such an unreasonable person, and there was a lot of evil in her heart that she wanted to vent. She glanced at the people surrounding her.
The guard who came up immediately raised his left hand and held the hilt of the sword with his right hand, looking like he was fighting to the death.
When the guards saw Li Xueyan showing her sword, they did not dare to step forward easily. They just formed a circle around her and pointed their spears at her.
Li Xueyan looked at these guards cautiously and drew out the sword inch by inch.
"Stop--" Just when the confrontation between the two parties was about to break out, a sudden stop was inserted.
I saw a blue figure flash past and fly in front of Li Xueyan. He held Li Xueyan's hand and pushed her half-drawn sword back into the scabbard.
"Third Senior Brother!" Li Xueyan was slightly surprised when she saw the person coming. Then she looked at the guards with a look of resentment and said to Yang Jian: "Third Senior Brother, you came just in time. These people are bullying others and they want to arrest me!"
Yang Jian frowned. He avoided getting involved with officers and soldiers when he was out. This was what his master had always told his brothers. How come this troublemaker couldn't bear her temper?
Yang Jian was helpless. He sighed silently and said to the captain with a smile: "Sir, this is my junior sister. She has never seen the world for the first time when she goes down the mountain. She accidentally bumped into you. Please forgive me and don't argue with her.
"
"Hmph! It's not a big deal that she's rushing against me, but now she's bumping into the imperial court! Who knows if you're telling the truth or a lie? You're not a junior sister, you're a junior sister.
If there is suspicion, can't we take him away for questioning?" The captain just refused to buy into Yang Jian's account and wanted to take Li Xueyan away.
"Sir, my little junior sister has indeed just come down from the mountain. She is a newcomer to Lin'an. She is definitely not the suspect you are looking for." Yang Jian saw that Li Xueyan was regarded as a suspect, and he felt a little anxious in his heart. Although his little junior sister was a troublemaker,
But after all, it was her senior brothers who cared for her while she was growing up. It was basic to keep her safe when she went out.
"We are also acting under orders. You, a junior junior sister, have some resemblance to the portrait, so we are going to take her away for questioning!" The captain said confidently, making it clear that he was going to take someone with him.
"Ya-ya! How similar are they? Are you blind? Don't you want to see how similar a portrait like this is?" Li Xueyan unfolded the portrait and put it in front of Yang Jian, letting Yang Jian see: "Third Senior Brother
, do you think these people grew up eating food? After arresting so many people, how much do these people follow the portraits? Huh? "
As Li Xueyan spoke, she looked at the women and children behind her. Those people whose relatives had been taken away still had tears on their faces, and they nodded their heads.
"What are you doing standing there, let me capture them all!" Li Xueyan's words immediately made the captain unable to step down. His eyes were fierce, his teeth were clenched, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered his men to arrest them.
Seeing the guards swarming forward, Yang Jian felt a little nervous. Just as he was about to fight, he suddenly heard a sharp shout from behind him: "Stop——"
