Yan Guang and Xu Xiling said goodbye to Liu Xiu, took a carriage and headed for the Xicheng tavern where the assassin was found.
On the road, Xu Xiling quietly looked at Yan Guang without leaving any trace. Yan Guang was plain and ordinary in appearance, but his temperament was extremely outstanding.
Calm, free and easy, being around him will naturally give people a sense of stability.
Xu Xiling's impression of Yan Guang was that he was young but had great moral character. She said: "During this period, although Mr. Yan is in Chaoyang, my lord has often mentioned you. I think Mr. Yan and my lord have a very deep friendship."
?”
Yan Guang turned his head and looked at Xu Xiling. The two met each other's eyes and looked at each other quietly.
Xu Xiling's eyes became more and more blurred and hazy, and there seemed to be layers of water curtains in his eyes. They were watery and misty, like a pool of autumn water. Once you take a look at it, you can't help but fall deeply into it.
Yan Guang's lower abdomen tightened, but as his mind turned, the slightly impetuous energy and blood in his body stabilized.
The art of flattery taught by Yichen was indeed powerful! Yan Guang said indifferently: "My lord and I were classmates in Chang'an and have known each other for several years."
Seeing that his charm skills had no effect on Yan Guang, and that Yan Guang's eyes were so bright that he seemed to be able to see through everything, Xu Xiling stopped showing off, put away his charm skills, and his misty eyes soon regained their clarity.
She smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Yan has known the lord so early, how enviable it is!" After a pause, she suddenly asked straight to the point: "Excuse me, Mr. Yan, do you think the lord will like Xi Ling?"
Yan Guang was also a little surprised by being so straightforward and straightforward. His eyes flashed and he said: "My lord is willing to keep Miss Xu by his side, so he naturally likes Miss Xu!"
"So, Mr. Yan, do you think the Lord will keep Xi Ling in the front house or in the backyard?" If it is placed in the front house, it will be just a retainer, and if it is placed in the backyard, it will be a wife and concubine. There is a big difference between the two.
.
Yan Guang met Xu Xiling's searching eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said, "Miss Xu is so candid."
Xu Xiling sighed quietly and said, "In front of Mr. Yan, Xi Ling can't hide her thoughts even if she wants to."
Yan Guang shrugged his shoulders without comment. He leaned back and chanted slowly: "When you are an official, you should be like Jinwu, and when you marry, you should be like Yinlihua."
As he spoke, he turned his head, looked at Xu Xiling, and said with a smile: "This is what my lord said when he was studying in Chang'an."
What he meant was to advise Xu Xiling to get rid of other thoughts as soon as possible.
Xu Xiling smiled and said: "I have heard this sentence before. Although I have never met Miss Yin, I heard that Miss Yin is the most beautiful woman in the world."
Yan Guang raised his head, recalled Yin Lihua's appearance, and murmured: "There is nothing more beautiful and fragrant than this."
The smile on Xu Xiling's face gradually faded, and she said: "People will always change, not to mention, isn't it normal for those who achieve great things to have three wives and four concubines?" As she spoke, she leaned towards Yan Guang and asked
Said: "Mr. Yan, can you help me?"
Yan Guang withdrew his gaze and fell on Xu Xiling's face again. His gaze was brighter and sharper than before, and he said, "What Mr. Yichen taught Miss Xu is not only the art of charm, right?"
Xu Xiling was startled and asked in confusion: "What do you mean by Mr. Yan's words?"
Yan Guang said: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Yichen also has a lot of research on the method of harvesting yang and replenishing yin. As Mr. Yichen's beloved disciple, Miss Xu naturally has a deep understanding of Mr. Yichen's true teachings."
His words made Xu Xiling blush, and his eyes looking at Yan Guang became erratic and flickering.
Regardless of what she was thinking, Yan Guang continued: "I don't care about your lord's private affairs, and I have no right to ask, but if I knew that Miss Xu used what she learned on my lord, Zi Ling would not
Just sit back and ignore it.”
Xu Xiling lowered his head, with a blush on his cheeks and a layer of mist in his eyes. His appearance was really charming and charming, making people imagine.
She said softly: "Mr. Yan has misunderstood. Xi Ling is sincere to the master and has no intention of harming him."
The sharpness in Yan Guang's eyes dissipated and he said: "Actually, Miss Xu is talking to the wrong person when she comes to me to tell you this. I still say what I said, I will not interfere with your lord's private affairs, and I have no right to interfere."
Xu Xiling glanced at Yan Guang and secretly said it was a pity. Yan Guang was much harder to deal with than those rough guys in Ma Wu. He was a tough guy who didn't like oil and salt, and was a hobbiter. Look at his attitude towards him, and Xu Xiling's desire to win over Yan Guang.
It's mostly cold.
After that, neither of them spoke anymore. The atmosphere in the carriage was silent, but neither of them felt embarrassed. Now Xu Xiling just hopes that Yan Guang can keep his word and ignore Liu Xiu's personal affairs, so that it will not become a stumbling block for him in the future.
, otherwise, Yan Guang’s obstacle would be too difficult to overcome.
The carriage went all the way to the west of the city, and when they arrived at the tavern surrounded by soldiers, the two people stepped out of the carriage one after another.
At this time, the number of soldiers besieging the tavern was even greater, not even a thousand, but not much less. Many of the soldiers were holding crossbows. Leading these soldiers were Liu Jia, Deng Feng, Zhang Ping,
Zhu Yun.
Seeing that Yan Guang and Xu Xiling came together, the four of them were startled for a moment, then quickly stepped forward, and they all raised their hands and said, "Mr. Yan?! When did Mr. Yan come to Xinye?"
"We just arrived." Yan Guang bowed his hands and saluted the four people. Then he turned to look at the tavern and asked, "The assassin is still in the tavern?"
Liu Jia nodded and was about to speak when Deng Feng said first, "The tavern owner and his daughter are also inside. If we attack by force, their lives will be in danger!"
Yan Guang looked at Deng Feng in surprise, feeling quite baffled.
Deng Feng had always had a fierce temperament, and he always acted without hesitation. Now that he finally discovered the assassin, he actually cared about the life and death of the tavern owner and his daughter?
It's not that Yan Guang thought his concerns were wrong, it was just inconsistent with Deng Feng's usual style of doing things and a bit abnormal.
Zhang Ping and Zhu Yun looked at each other, and the former shook his head and said, "Yuan Zhi just fell in love with someone else's daughter. What's that girl's name? What's Fei'er?"
Zhu Yun added expressionlessly: "Yuan Feier!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Yuan Feier!" Zhang Ping nodded and said: "Since returning to Xinye, Yuan Zhi can't wait to come eight times a day, and he almost regards the other people's tavern as his own home!"
The two of them kept talking to each other, making Deng Feng blush.
His relationship with Yuan Fei'er was that before he rebelled with Zhu Tiandu, he was drunk and was taken home and cared for all night.
After that, he ran to this tavern without any problems, and his relationship with Yuan Feier gradually became familiar. They both had a good impression of each other, but no one broke the window paper.
This time, the three assassins managed to escape into the tavern for dinner, but were discovered. Now the tavern's shopkeeper Yuan Feier and Yuan Feier have become hostages in their hands.
If Deng Feng hadn't arrived in time and blocked it, Liu Jia would have led his troops to rush in. How could he care about the lives of a few ordinary people?
Yan Guang said: "I'll go in and take a look!"
Liu Jia and others looked shocked, looked at Yan Guang in disbelief, and blurted out: "Mr. Yan, you want to go in? Those three assassins are not ordinary people!"
They all know Yan Guang's skills well. If he can deal with one assassin, he might be able to fight, but if he has to deal with three assassins at the same time, with his ability, he is definitely no match for him. If he goes in alone, it's just a tough fight.
dog.
"Ms. Xu concluded that these assassins may be from the Yiqi Sect. I still have some friendship with the Yiqi Sect. Maybe I can persuade them to give up their resistance."
When Deng Feng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't help but take a step forward and asked nervously: "Mr. Yan, are you sure?"
Yan Guang said: "No matter whether you are sure or not, you should give it a try."
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Jia and said sternly: "General Xiaosun, if the assassin is really a member of the Yiqi clan, if he kills three of their disciples this time, Liang Zi will be completely tied up, and the troubles in the future will be endless.
Endless."
Liu Jia said with a look of embarrassment: "But if Mr. Yan is allowed to go in alone, how can I rest assured?"
He didn't have a deep friendship with Yan Guang, but Yan Guang was Liu Xiu's subordinate and Liu Xiu's classmate and friend. If something happened to Yan Guang, he really couldn't explain it to Liu Xiu.
Xu Xiling said: "General, Xiling can go with Mr. Yan!"
Looking at Xu Xiling, Liu Jia couldn't help but hold his forehead. What use would it be if you followed Yan Guang in?
Yan Guang alone is like a meat bun beating a dog. If you follow him, it will be like two meat buns beating a dog at best. Before Liu Jia could say anything, Deng Feng said: "Count me in, I will go in too!"
"No!" Yan Guang and Xu Xiling said almost in unison. Deng Feng's limbs react faster than his brain. If he followed, he would only do bad things.
Yan Guang said to Deng Feng: "General Yuanzhi can wait outside for news." After that, he said to Liu Jia: "General Xiaosun, I will go back as soon as I go." As he spoke, he separated from the soldiers in front and stepped forward.
Walk towards the tavern.
Xu Xiling followed closely behind, followed by Yan Guang, and walked towards the tavern.
Arriving at the door of the tavern, Yan Guang only hesitated for a moment before reaching out and slowly pushing the door open.
The moment he pushed the door open, he heard a sound of sand, and a cold light pierced out from the door. Fortunately, Yan Guang was careful and reacted very quickly. He leaned to the side and stabbed the person in front of him.
The Qingfeng sword dodged away.
He put his hands behind his back and said: "Your Excellency, don't do anything yet. I have no hostility in coming here. I only have a few words to say!"
Standing inside the door is a man wearing an ordinary blue robe. Judging from his age, he is about thirty years old. He has a beard, thick eyebrows, and small round eyes. He looks like a humanoid.
monkey.
The man held a three-foot Qingfeng in his hand. He first looked at Yan Guang, then looked at Xu Xiling, who was standing behind him and covered with gauze, then took two steps back and opened the door.
Yan Guang and Xu Xiling walked into the tavern one after another. As soon as they entered, two long swords fell from the left and right and rested on their shoulders. At the same time, the door of the tavern opened again.
was closed again.
Without looking at the person holding the sword next to him, Yan Guang glanced around the interior of the tavern.
The tavern is not big, there are only two rows of mats, with five or six tables arranged on them. In a corner of the tavern, there are several people sitting shivering, some men and some women. They are probably shopkeeper Yuan, Yuan Fei'er and his daughter, and others
Several people are diners.
After looking at it, Yan Guang withdrew his gaze and took a closer look at the Qingfeng sword on his shoulder. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Look at the lines on your sword. They are the pictures of Niwan. They are for the god of one department."
