There was a sound of metal collision, and the man in black missed his sword. He turned the handle of the knife in his hand, and struck again with his backhand. Xue Yujin swung his sword to stop it.
The man in black continued to attack fiercely, with each blow being fast and heavy. Xue Yujin stood guard at the door, preventing him from coming out.
However, after blocking more than a dozen knives, her arms became increasingly numb. Seeing another knives coming, she had no time to parry, so she had to retreat and dodge.
The man in black took the opportunity to rush out of the door without fighting with Xue Yujin, and ran outside.
After running a few steps, there was a sound of slashing through the air. The man in black blocked it with his sword, and there was a sound of wind under his feet. The man in black jumped up, passed over the opponent's head, and then turned back and slashed.
With a "dang" sound, this powerful and heavy sword was held by the opponent, and the opponent's steps were very steady, without even taking a step back.
The man in black was secretly frightened. In just a short moment of fighting, he knew that the opponent in front of him was different from the woman just now. He was a powerful opponent. Before he could think more, the opponent attacked again.
When fighting in the dark, your vision will be greatly affected. You mainly rely on your hearing and experience to dodge, which is more dangerous than fighting in the daytime.
The man in black was wearing night clothes and had an advantage in this regard. However, after fighting for a while, he could not defeat his opponent.
Because there was an enemy next to him, the man in black became increasingly anxious, and his moves became more fierce. Soon, both of them had wounds on their bodies.
When Xue Yujin saw it, he scolded him and wanted to come over to join forces.
The man in black's heart sank. He knew that if the two of them joined forces, he would definitely lose. He was about to break out of the encirclement even if he was stabbed, when he suddenly heard a shout from afar.
"You are such a bold thief. You dare to break into the county government office at night. Put down your weapons quickly, or I will shoot you to death with arrows!"
Under the illumination of the night, I saw an official running over with a team of policemen, all of whom were holding strong bows.
Han Cheng and Xue Yujin both stopped, and the man in black took the opportunity to run away. The official shouted, "Fire the arrow!"
More than a dozen bows and arrows were fired at the man in black. The man in black rolled on the ground, stood up and continued running wildly. Han Cheng was about to chase after him when the official shouted: "Don't move!"
Xue Yujin angrily scolded: "You losers, that guy is the thief, we are here to catch thieves!"
The official snorted coldly: "How dare you insult me? I think all three of you are thieves!"
Han Cheng said coldly: "Next week, Han Cheng, the commander of the guards of the Duke of Guo, will arrest this thief on your orders. My father-in-law will be here soon. I will report to him the truth about the responsibility for letting the thief go."
The official was stunned for a moment, looked him up and down and said, "You, do you have proof?"
Han Cheng took out his waistband and said, "Why don't you come and see for yourself?"
Cold sweat appeared on the forehead of the official. He didn't care about the danger. He walked quickly to him, picked up his waistband and took a look. His face turned pale and said: "I don't know, I don't know. You two go and catch the thief quickly."
Well, I will never dare to stop you again!"
"You're still catching your ass, you've already disappeared without a trace!" Xue Yujin said angrily.
Han Cheng took back his belt, held his hand to Xue Yujin and said: "Miss Xue, you wait here for the father-in-law, I will chase him."
"Your injury..." Xue Yujin said worriedly.
Han Cheng glanced at the wound on his arm, smiled and said: "A little skin injury, it's not a problem." After saying that, he ran away in the direction where the man in black fled.
…
The man in black evaded Jinwu Guards all the way, and after nearly an hour, he arrived at the abandoned garden in the southeast of the city.
When they entered the lobby, An Yuan Wang and the others had been waiting for a long time. Dahe Grassland noticed that the man in black was injured, jumped up from his chair, held his hand and said: "Brother Mo, are you okay?"
"It doesn't matter if you were pecked by an eagle." The man in black said nonchalantly.
"How are things going?" King An Yuan asked urgently.
The man in black said: "Gao Funan is dead, and the clothes on the body were also ruined. However, when I was picking up the clothes in Chang'an County, I met two people." He briefly explained what happened when he met Han Cheng and the two.
King An Yuan was shocked and said: "Who are those two people? Could they be from Dali Temple?"
The man in black poured a glass of wine, drank it in one gulp, and sprayed it on the wound on his arm. He also tore off a piece of cloth from his clothes and simply bandaged the wound. Then he said: "There is a woman among the two people. Judging from their clothes, she should not be a government official."
Middle man."
King An Yuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Tomorrow's plan is very critical. We can't make any mistakes now."
Fu Yufeng snorted coldly: "I feel that those Tang people look down on us, and we are not allowed to participate in tomorrow's event!"
"Stop complaining." Dahe Grassland said: "Wolves on the grassland will never respect sheep. Only when you turn into a wolf will others look down upon you."
Fu Yufeng said angrily: "Who do you think is a sheep? Your Khitan leader was renamed Li Jinzhong by the Tang people. This is the real sheep!"
Seeing the two of them quarreling again, King An Yuan shook his head and left the lobby.
…
Outside the Chang'an County government office, Wu Chengsi and Xue Yujin said goodbye and went back to their respective homes.
When he came to the county government office, Xue Yujin explained the situation and said angrily that it was only the Chang'an County magistrate who sabotaged it and allowed the thieves to escape.
The Chang'an County Magistrate felt that he had made a big mistake and couldn't help but surrender and accuse him. Wu Chengsi felt that this matter could not be entirely blamed on him, so he did not punish him too harshly.
Later, Han Cheng returned empty-handed, and Wu Chengsi had no choice but to return home.
Although the opponent was not caught this time, because Zhou Xing bribed Xiao Fuzi, he gained a lot. Not only did he know that the person behind the scenes was the former King of Goryeo, but he also knew that the Khitan people were also involved.
Now it is certain that Cui Baosheng was murdered by the other party. As for the method of letting the tiger kill, it is not that important.
By now, among the names Su Dingjie had heard, except for Pei Xingjian and Hei Te Chang, the other three were all dead.
The most important question now is, why did those people deal with these five people?
How does this matter relate to Su Dingfang’s case?
When he returned to the mansion, it was already the end of Haishi. Wu Chengsi planned to wash his feet and think about it in bed. However, within a minute of lying down on the bed, he started snoring loudly.
The next morning, Qiu Chan came to wake Wu Chengsi up again. This time, since the matter was not urgent, she screamed softly.
"Sir, a guest is here, would you like to get up to pick him up?"
"...No." Wu Chengsi turned his body to the inside.
Qiu Chan pursed her lips and smiled, turned around and left the room.
Walking all the way to the inner hall, I saw Xue Yujin sitting on a chair drinking tea. Qiu Chan smiled and said: "Miss Xue, my father-in-law slept too late yesterday, why don't you wait for him here?"
Xue Yujin said angrily: "I didn't go to bed very late last night. I obviously didn't want to get up, but I still had so many excuses. Forget it, I won't wait for him. Just let him get up and go directly to the British government office!"
He strode away.
Qiu Chan shook her head and thought to herself: "This young lady has a really bad temper. I hope the young lady from the Li family won't be like her."
…
Xue Yujin left the Duke of Zhou's Mansion, led the people all the way to the north of the city, and left the city not long after.
However, when the British palace appeared in her field of vision, she couldn't believe her eyes.
Outside the gate of the mansion, he was surrounded by Jin Wu guards!
The door of the mansion was wide open, and Li Ji stood at the gate with his hands behind his hands, blocking the way in. In front of him, stood two middle-aged men in their forties and an old man.
The two middle-aged men were Yuan Gongyu, the imperial censor, Li Jingxuan, the right servant of the minister, and Xu Jingzong, the left servant of the minister.
Xue Yujin was shocked. It would definitely not be a good thing for three prime ministers to come to the British palace at the same time.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in her mind, these people must be here for Su Dingjie!
Su Dingfang has not yet been convicted, and his grandson has not yet been violated by the imperial court. It is impossible for the imperial court to convict Li Ji just because he appeared in the British government palace.
However, Li Ji was about to lead troops to settle in Yingzhou. If anyone knew that he was involved with Su Dingfang, Queen Wu would never let him lead troops again because of her suspicion!
Thinking of this, Xue Yujin drove his horse closer, and immediately Jinwu Guards came over to block the way forward.
Xue Yujinjiao scolded: "My father is Xue Rengui, how dare you block my way?"
When the Jinwu Guard team leader heard Xue Rengui's name, he was startled. Xue Yujin took advantage of his hesitation and passed through the Jinwu Guard blockade.
As soon as she arrived outside the gate, everyone noticed her. Yuan Gongyu shouted coldly: "Yang Fang! Didn't you say that no one is allowed to approach? Why did you let this woman in?"
Yang Fang is the general of the Jinwu Guard. He has been in the inner circle and has no idea how this woman came in. While hesitating, Li Ji said coldly: "This is the beloved daughter of General Xue Rengui. I think she came here to find my granddaughter." . ”
Yuan Gongyu then glanced at Xue Yujin and said calmly: "Miss Xue, the court is conducting official business. It is not convenient for outsiders to come in here for the time being. Please leave quickly."
"What business are you doing?" Xue Yujin asked.
Yuan Gongyu raised his eyebrows and said: "How can a little girl like you be involved in important matters of the imperial court? Someone come and send Miss Xue away."
Although Xue Yujin was courageous, he did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of the three prime ministers without knowing the situation.
Seeing that she was about to be taken away, Li Ji suddenly said: "Xue Yatou, go and tell Zhou Guogong that the prince is coming to my mansion soon and ask him not to come over in the morning. I won't have time to entertain him when he comes. "
Xue Yujin was secretly shocked, knowing that Li Ji asked her to go to Wu Chengsi for help, and hurriedly said: "I, I understand."
