It's late at night,

The stars are brilliant, and the crescent moon is like a hook.

There is no one on the streets in Xiangyang City.

In the east of the city, a figure of a human figure rose and fell on the roof.

Two figures followed closely.

All three of them were not wearing night clothes.

The patrol soldiers in the city found no abnormalities.

It was not that the soldiers neglected their duties, but that the three of them had too good light skills and their feet fell on the roof without making any sound.

Of course, the soldiers patrolling the city with torches in their hands were still extremely eye-catching in the night.

The leader looked back and suddenly flashed and jumped into a house, but there was no movement.

After two breaths, the two people chasing behind stood on the roof and stared at the yard.

Fortunately, this house is just an ordinary family, with a small yard. Except for the main room where the two of them have set up, there is a wing room on each side of the east and west.

With the stars and the light of the moonlight, the two of them did not find that person in the yard.

"Senior brother, is it possible that there is his inner support here?"

The speaker was Yi Zhongyuan who had been visiting the General's Mansion. The person he asked was Zheng Xiding, the commander of Nanjun City, the deputy head of Ziyang Pavilion.

Zheng Xiding, who held the sword with one hand, looked around and said, "Maybe, you and I will wait and see. Even if there is his inner support here, there will only be small fish and shrimps. With the skills of you and me, I will be without fear."

Yi Zhongyuan looked at the sword in Zheng Xiding's hand and nodded and said, "Senior brother has the Qingyang sword in his hand. Even if I don't have my help, it's not a problem to take him down He Xiangfeng."

Zheng Xiding looked at Yi Zhongyuan and chuckled and said, "Junior Brother Yi, it's not that Senior Brother tells you. If you had told me about your experience earlier, why should he be forced by him? If Senior Brother Wei hadn't said a few good things for you in front of the king, I'm afraid you have been put into the Heavenly Prison by the king now."

Yi Zhongyuan sighed heavily.

He would never have thought that things would develop to this point.

Focusing on the yard, Yi Zhongyuan took a deep breath and said, "I would like to thank Senior Brother for speaking for me in front of Senior Brother Wei. I know how to do it in the future."

Zheng Xiding waved his hand and said, "Now is the time to atone for your sins. As long as you capture He Xiangfeng, maybe you can still ask the king for a reward."

While speaking, Zheng Xiding squatted down, listened carefully, looked at Yi Zhongyuan and said, "There are only three people sleeping soundly in the house. It should be a family of three. You and I are only two breaths behind him, and there is no sound of opening the door. I guess he should still be hiding in the yard."

Yi Zhongyuan thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother means..."

Zheng Xiding nodded, then frowned and said, "But if you and I are fighting with him here and alarm the owner, it will be a little trouble."

Yi Zhongyuan said inexplicably: "Wouldn't that be better? This will attract the soldiers in the city and help you and me capture them."

Then he looked at it privately and said, "Why didn't Senior Brother Wei send people to search the city? I remember when you and I chased you out, Senior Brother had ordered someone to inform Senior Brother Wei quickly."

Zheng Xiding whispered: "Junior Brother Yi, I advise you to think more. Will the king really rest assured of you? If you and I let He Xiangfeng run away tonight, I am afraid that the king will order the Ziyang Pavilion to be demolished tomorrow, and you and I will replace He Xiangfeng and become the target of public criticism."

Yi Zhongyuan lowered his head and remained silent.

Zheng Xiding patted Yi Zhongyuan on the shoulder and said, "Do it, you and I will act according to the opportunity!"

The woman was so pinched by He Xiangfeng that she couldn't breathe. She grabbed He Xiangfeng's arm with both hands, pulled it hard, kicked her feet randomly, and said in a crying voice: "Good man, please spare me~Good man, please spare me~"

Zheng Xiding snorted coldly and said, "He Xiangfeng, I think you are crazy. Can you do such a woman with no power to tie a chicken?"

He Xiangfeng chuckled and said, "My surname is Zheng, you should not be lie in front of me. When did you become so noble? Don't think I don't know what you did? There are fewer evil spirits who died at your Zheng Xiding's hands before?"

After saying that, he patted the woman's butt with his other hand, and it made a slap.

He praised: "Not bad, not bad!"

The woman was already full of tears in her eyes as she suffered this humiliation. She begged with rain: "I beg you, please let me go!"

The man piled up at Zheng Xiding's feet suddenly hugged Zheng Xiding's legs and said, "Uncle, I heard that you are a good person. I beg you to save my wife. We have just gotten married and don't even have a son."

Seeing this person hugging his thighs, Zheng Xiding frowned, kicked with one foot, and shouted in a low voice: "Hide out quickly, if I have the chance, I will save your wife."

The man was kicked away by Zheng Xiding. He didn't dare to say anything more, but he didn't escape. He thought he was thinking about his wife.

At this time, He Xiangfeng smiled at Zheng Xiding and said, "President Zheng, Master Zheng, this little girl is so beautiful. Otherwise, Master Zheng would enter the bridal chamber here? If you are embarrassed, He Xiangfeng can retreat."

Zheng Xiding said angrily: "Who is surnamed He, don't let me destroy the water."

After saying that, the Qingyang Sword in his hand seemed to bloom a lotus and flew towards He Xiangfeng.

He Xiangfeng sneered, grabbed the woman's right hand in his hand and slapped her left palm, and the woman flew towards the lotus flower.

Seeing this, Zheng Xiding hurriedly put away the sword in his hand and shouted: "Junior Brother Yi, come and help me!"

The woman had already flew in front of her.

The man hurriedly shouted: "Xiao Cui~"

I was about to get up and pick up the woman who was not dressed much.

Zheng Xiding, who was afraid of accidentally hurting the woman, had to change his tricks and stared at He Xiangfeng, and was about to jump over the woman and kill him.

The woman who was flying over was originally crossing her chest with her arms, but suddenly opened her arms and pointed at Zheng Xiding.

A silver light shot out at Zheng Xiding.

Zheng Xiding sneered, waved the Qingyang sword in his hand, and with a "ding" sound, a silver needle fell down in response.

After knocking down the silver needle, Zheng Xiding turned the long sword in his hand and stabbed the man lying at the foot.

The woman's body flipped in the air and fell to the ground. She smiled at Zheng Xiding and raised her hand again.

With a sword, he blocked the dagger that suddenly slashed at his left leg. Zheng Xiding flew up and dodged two silver needles shot out by the woman. Then he kicked twice to block He Xiangfeng's palm that had already been killed, and he rushed out.

Outside the door, a figure waved his palm to block Zheng Xiding's way.

It is Yi Zhongyuan that jumped off the roof.

Huo Qiji stood up, walked towards Shangguan Zimo and said softly: "Are you awake? Are you better?"

Shangguan Zimo rubbed his forehead lightly and said, "It's much better, but I just slept a lot, and my head was a little dizzy."

Then he looked at Xing Yunqi and said, "Xiao Yunqi, you have to remember that your senior brother is your senior brother. No matter what his identity is, he is your senior brother. Do you understand?"

Xing Yunqi nodded and said "yes".

Although he didn't know Yuan Xi's specific identity, he could hear that Yuan Xi's identity would definitely not be like him, the son of an ordinary family.

What if you can have a blood relationship with the princess?

But Xing Yunqi didn't know who the Princess of Xiliang was. He only knew that the princess was the wife of the Lord Tian.

King Xiliang likes the title of Lord Tian very much. Although the grandson is not won, if Shangguan Zimo married Huo Qiji, in terms of generation, he will still be the child's grandfather's generation.

Shangguan Zimo thought for a while and asked, "Brother Huo, are you not planning to take Yuan Xi back?"

Huo Qiji nodded and said, "He still has his mission."

Then he sighed and said, "Speaking of this, I owe Yuan Xi a lot, but I always tell him that I don't owe him, and I don't say anything else, just telling him about bringing him to Bazhou. I didn't get his own wishes, and just took him away from home. Until now, I haven't told him about my life experience. Speaking of this, I'm still too selfish."

Shangguan Zimo took Huo Qiji's hand and said softly: "Brother Huo, when Yuan Xi's parents agreed to let you take him away, it was because his parents had already decided on him. You don't need to feel guilty. Besides, even if Yuan Xi knows the truth of the matter in the future, he will definitely be grateful to you."

Huo Qiji held Shangguan Zimo's hand and said, "Who can tell the future? I am indeed sorry to Yuan Xi in the past. Even if he will be grateful to me in the future, he cannot say that I am right. Besides, how could his parents agree to take him away? Who would be willing to be taken away by others in this world to be taken away by others? What's more, his parents?"

Shangguan Zimo was silent for a moment and said, "When you were in Liangzhou at that time, did you lie to my father?"

Huo Qiji shook his head and said, "It's not the case. The king knows the truth. Think about it, even if I hide it, I can't hide it. At that time, the king once asked me why I took Yuan Xi with me, and I told him the reason..."

“What’s the reason?”

Shangguan Zimo said curiously.

Huo Qiji smiled, patted Shangguan Zimo's simple hand a few times and said, "I won't tell you!"

"Puchi" and Xing Yunqi laughed out loud.

Shangguan Zimo pulled out his hand, glared at Huo Qiji, and pretended to be angry: "If you don't say it, don't say it, I don't want to listen!"

Huo Qiji stood up and turned to look at Xing Yunqi, "Why don't you go to practice martial arts quickly? Wait for the senior brother to see a joke?"

Xing Yunqi pouted, "Senior brother won't laugh at me!"

However, he also knew that he was not suitable for him here. After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the inner room, found a cushion to sit on it, and began to meditate with his eyes closed.

Seeing Xing Yunqi leave, Huo Qiji stepped forward, stood behind Shangguan Zimo, gently supported her shoulders and said, "Why do I tell you?"

Shangguan Zimo leaned back, leaned against Huo Qiji's arms, shook his head and said, "No need, I believe in you!"

After saying that, she turned around, put her arms around her chest, lowered her head slightly, leaned against Huo Qiji's chest, and said softly: "Brother Huo, the Bazhou matter is in progress. Let's get married when we go back!"

Huo Qiji wrapped his arms around and nodded slightly.

At the north gate of Pingnan City, Lu Yiping ordered people to set up military tents here.

Leave the city gate tower to the ward generals, and he will handle military affairs in the military tent.

The returned Wu Zhong happened to report to the camp.
