The atmosphere in the official post of Baoning Prefecture in Sichuan was very tense. On one side, the official servants and guards were busy preparing to leave. On the other side, there was a sound of wailing and crying. Nangong Yun and Bai Si shouted, and dozens of guards escorted seven prison cars slowly out of the official post.
Post.
"This time, we have such an important person entrusted to us. We must strictly monitor him and make sure nothing goes wrong," Nangong Yun ordered Bai Si while riding in front and nervously looking at the crowd coming around.
Each of the seven prison vans held one person. The first prison van held a middle-aged man. The man had a kind and gentle face and fearless eyes. He just stared ahead without saying a word. The prison van behind contained an old man.
Some are young, some are male and some are female, the elder is about sixty years old, and the younger one doesn't look more than ten years old.
Among the row of prison cars, all the men looked determined, but only an old woman and three women were crying together. The scene was very sad.
More and more people lined the streets to watch, and suddenly there was a commotion among the crowd.
Someone asked: "Who is being imprisoned here? Where should he be escorted?"
An insider replied: "This is Wang Jie, the prefect of Baoning Prefecture. Emperor Jianwen picked up the minister of household affairs and was demoted here because he was dissatisfied with the emperor. The prefect Wang is a good official, a rare honest official, alas!
"
At this time, a gong sounded, and the suppressed gongs on both sides of the prison car cleared the way, shouting at the top of their voices: "Wang Jie, the prefect of Baonyeong Prefecture, sympathized with the traitors and wrote many times to plead grievances for the traitors. He even committed corruption and bribery when he was the prefect of Baonyeong Prefecture.
, I am hereby issued an edict to escort him back to the capital, and the villagers should stay away in silence."
The prison car paraded through the streets, but the people showed no indignation at all. Instead, they all felt reluctant to give up and seemed to have sad expressions.
Before leaving the city gate, more and more people gathered, and Nangong Yun became more and more nervous.
Wang Jie suddenly shouted loudly in the prison car: "Fathers and fellow villagers of Baoning Prefecture, the death of Wang Jie's family is not a pity. God's justice is in the hearts of the people."
The common people knelt down one after another, and there was another wailing and crying. One old man even knelt down and cried: "Please show mercy to me, sir. Mr. Wang loves the people like his sons. He is the blue sky of Baoning Mansion! Please tell me, sir."
I show sympathy to the people of Baoning Prefecture and don’t take Mr. Wang away!”
Nangong Yun reined in his horse, and Bai Si roared majestically: "Whether Wang Jie is guilty or not will be decided by the court. You bunch of unruly people gathered here to plead for the guilty officials? Do you want to rebel? Why don't you?
Why don’t you get out of the way quickly?”
After Bai Si finished speaking, he picked up his riding whip and whipped the old man just now. After the whip cracked, the old man fell on the road in pain but still refused to give way. The people also knelt down and begged for mercy.
Nangong Yun frowned, reined up his horse and came to the front of Wangjie's prison car and said: "Master Wang, we are just here to arrest you on the emperor's order. As for whether you are guilty or not, it is up to the court to decide. Now the people under your rule have gathered to interfere.
, are they going to resist the law and the imperial edict? Aren’t they afraid that the imperial court will blame them and convict them of rebellion?”
Wang Jie rolled his eyes at Nangong Yun, stretched his head and hands out of the prison car, clasped his fists and shouted loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, it is my honor for Wang Jie to serve as an official in Baoning Mansion during his lifetime. Is the Wang family guilty?
It is natural and just. Folks, please go back and live your life well, which is the greatest reward for Wang Jie. Please everyone, even if Wang Jie dies, he will never live up to my name."
After the common people bowed helplessly three times, they silently stepped aside with tears in their eyes, making way for the prison car. Another old man trembled.
Xingweiwei came to Nangong Yunma and said: "Sir, Master Wang has worked hard for Baoning Mansion. Today, the old man came to see him off. Can you drink a bowl of farewell wine for Master Wang?"
Bai Si still wanted to attack, but Nangong Yun was afraid of the public's anger, so he could only nod his head in agreement.
The old man held a bowl of clear water in front of Wangjie's prison car in Qingshui Road and said with a smile: "Sir Wang, I know that Mr. Wang never drinks alcohol. This is a bowl of clear water from Baoning Mansion. Mr. Wang is an official like this bowl of clear water. You must do this."
Drink it. Sir, you are a loyal minister and don’t be afraid of losing your future. The people of Baonyeong Prefecture will always respect you."
Wang Jie laughed loudly, raised his neck and drank all the water, saying, "Wang Jie died without regrets." After saying this, he laughed wildly.
Nangong Yun waved, Bai Si shouted, and the prison car team set off again, and soon they left Baoning Mansion. Nangong Yun had just breathed a sigh of relief, when a man appeared in front of him and stopped the team, and Nangong Yun placed a hand in his stomach again.
Li's heart rose to his throat.
There was a person coming, wearing a cloak, so the head and face could not be seen, but judging from the body shape, it was a woman. The woman was dressed in emerald green, with a sword hanging from her waist. The woman's right hand was pressing the hilt of the sword, and the left one was shining with cold light.
The dagger was pointed at Nangong Yun and his party.
Seeing this, Nangong Yun silently took out the eagle claw staff, and Bai Si also took off the eagle claw chain from his waist. As if they were facing a powerful enemy, the Jinyi guards all took out their embroidered spring knives and held them horizontally across their chests.
"You have two choices. One is to keep them and come back alive, or the other is to keep them after you die."
Before Nangong Yun could ask any questions, the woman in green spoke first, her voice was calm and she didn't sound like someone coming to rob the prison car at all, but her tone left no room for doubt.
Nangong Yun glanced back, and after confirming that there was only a woman here, he shouted coldly: "Bold, do you know who is being held in the prison car? This is a prisoner of the imperial court, are you going to rebel?"
The woman in green still calmly asked: "What if I rebel? What if I don't rebel?"
Nangong Yun choked for a moment, and Bai Si shouted when he saw this: "You have such an arrogant tone. You don't take care of your husband and raise your children at home, but you come out to learn how to rob someone, and you don't even look at what you are robbing. Is being a Jin Yiwei just a living thing?"
The woman in green stopped talking, gave a sweet shout, and raised her figure by more than ten feet. At the same time, she shot her sword and dagger in tandem, directly towards Nangong Yun.
Nangong Yun roared angrily, slapped his palms on the saddle, and stood up suddenly. He waved his eagle claw staff and hit the woman on the head. The eagle claw staff was heavy, and Nangong Yun used up all his inner strength in this hit. It was really powerful.
Like a rainbow.
The woman in green suddenly bumped into her, and when the eagle claw staff was less than a foot away from her head, she suddenly turned around in the air, and with her long sword close to the eagle claw staff, she struck Nangong Yun's jaw with a white rainbow piercing the sun.
With one swing of the sword, he sliced off Nangong Yun's left hand.
The woman struck decisively and cruelly. This move would either cut off Nangong Yun's hand or pierce his head. Nangong Yun was shocked, and relied on his excellent soft-sounding skills to duck sideways and avoid the two swords, but the long sword
The remaining force still cut off a strand of Nangong Yun's hair.
Nangong Yun broke out in a cold sweat, secretly glad that he had just escaped. On the other hand, the woman did not continue to chase Nangong Yun, but instead jumped into the convoy of prison cars and ran away.
The guards in Jin Yi all slashed at the woman with their knives. At the same time, Bai Si Eagle Claw Chain flew out and grabbed the woman's calf. There were a few crisp sounds of "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding."
, at the same time, the long and short swords suddenly shot out, and immediately stabbed a Jin Yiwei to the ground.
.
The woman was ruthless and ruthless in her attacks, as if a human life was not worth as much as an ant in her eyes. The guards did not dare to swarm forward, but surrounded the woman tightly.
Bai Si's eagle talon chain was swung away by the woman's sword, and then he and Nangong Yun turned around and rushed towards the woman. If he was kidnapped by a woman, not only would the court blame him, but even if he survived, there would probably be no one in the world again.
They were shameless. Therefore, Bai Si and Nangong Yun didn't care much and rushed forward regardless of everything.
The woman rushed left and right, and there were so many Jinyi guards, including Nangong Yun and Bai Siyi, that they could not do anything to her for a while. But while the woman was fighting with everyone, she stabbed two more Jinyi guards to the ground.
Nangong Yun couldn't help being furious, and asked loudly: "Who are you? You hide your head and show your tail, why don't you dare to tell me your name?"
The woman didn't answer at all and just kept fighting, which left Nangong Yun helpless. However, Nangong Yun was not an ordinary person. He calmly waved his hand and the royal guards began to form a formation, wasting the woman's energy.
Physical strength. Coupled with the fact that two masters, Nangong Yun and Bai Si, were waiting for the opportunity to take action, the woman gradually began to feel a little exhausted.
However, even so, this woman is still full of strange moves and kills people without mercy. She often uses moves that hurt both sides, which makes the normally ruthless Jin Yiwei a little scared.
At this time, a flute sound floated in the distance, the music was melodious but filled with resentment. Accompanying the sound of the flute was a thin old man.
The old man's eyes were cloudy, his clothes were ragged, his cheekbones were high, and his pair of straw sandals were already tattered. Hearing the sound of the flute, both the guards and the woman stopped and looked at this strange old man.
The old man jumped onto a prison car and said slowly: "In the past, the Jin Yiwei were all heroes who spied on military aircraft and maintained peace. How come they have become an accomplice in killing Zhongliang?"
Nangong Yun saw that the old man's appearance was unremarkable, but his skills were like an unpredictable master. When he came, he didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, but as soon as the old man opened his mouth, Nangong Yun knew that the old man was an enemy and not a friend.
"What do you call me, senior? How do you know about my Jin Yiwei?"
Nangong Yun was secretly on guard while trying to find out the identity of the old man.
The old man sighed and said: "I'm old now, and it's long past time for me to know about world affairs. The past seems to have passed away. I used to only know what loyalty and kindness are, but now I'm slowly turning into a person who can't tell the difference between loyalty and evil."
, I really deserve to die, but why are I still alive?"
Bai Si kept looking at the old man, and suddenly he was shocked and said: "Senior, could it be Mr. Du who has a smiling face? I wonder what Mr. Du has taught me when he is here today. This junior will definitely listen."
When Nangong Yun heard what Bai Si said, he was also shocked. He thought to himself that what happened today might be difficult to resolve. He was really worried about what happened.
The old man was really Du Si, the Smiling Buddha. Du Si glanced at Bai Si with cloudy eyes and said unhurriedly: "It's rare that someone still remembers the old man, but the Smiling Buddha has long since lost his smile, so what's the use of this title?"
What? It’s all over, so why worry about it anymore?”
Du Si then whispered to the woman: "If I guess correctly, Zhuye Qing has not appeared in the world for more than ten years. What is the purpose of returning to the world now?"
The woman snorted coldly and said something that frightened Nangong Yun and Bai Si.
