When Shen Lian turned around, he saw Xiao Feng and An Qingyue coming on horseback, followed by Tanaka Minoru and others on foot.
When he saw Xiao Feng at the end of the stall, his momentum weakened. Seeing that Xiao Feng was running non-stop and was about to rush over directly, his hand holding the knife started to tremble a little.
This is the junior brother of Long Live, Master Wenxuan of the Ming Dynasty. If he really wants to use the knife, if there is something wrong with him, no matter how this matter ends today, Long Live will probably be the first to kill me first!
With the kind of person Mr. Zhang is, he may not risk his life to protect me, but it is more likely that he will give himself a blow first, and then accept the responsibility for his lax service.
Just when he was hesitating, Zhang Yuan, who had not planned to show his face, knew that the matter had reached a critical moment, so he came out of the darkness and stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Master Xiao, I, Dongchang, am also a long-lived arm. I have the right to make independent decisions on the matter of arresting fugitives.
Besides, how could such a coincidence happen? We were just about to arrest a Tatar woman as a spy, and a white lotus rebel came out from your side. Isn't this stealing credit?
I know that your Excellency is deeply favored by Long Live, but even if this matter comes before Long Live, I, Dongchang, can also make sense of it!"
Zhang Yuan knew very well that Jiajing would definitely ask about this matter later, so he insisted from the beginning that he was trying to take credit from the prisoner.
There are countless incidents in history where Dongchang and Jinyiwei competed for credit. Anyway, it was the left hand fighting the right hand, and Jiajing would not go into too much detail.
Xiao Feng knew that with every moment of delay, the old Taoist would be closer to death, so he stopped talking nonsense, pulled out the Xiuchun knife, and slashed at Zhang Yuan head and face.
Zhang Yuan also didn't expect Xiao Feng to be so violent and chop him off whenever he wanted, so he thought he couldn't argue with him any more.
Therefore, he was in a hurry and managed to hold it with his knife. The blade of Xiuchun Dao swept over his head and chopped off Zhang Yuan's hat.
Zhang Yuan was also angry. No matter how much he said that he was the owner of Dongchang Factory, even if Lu Bing came, he would not dare to take action without saying anything! In his anger, his voice also came out: "Do it!"
When the people from Jin Yiwei and Shuntian Mansion saw that Xiao Feng had taken action, they had already drawn their swords, and there was a sudden sound of killing from both sides.
After Yan Shifan got the news, he stood there and drank three glasses of wine in a row, rolling his one eye constantly. Finally, he smiled coldly and slammed the glass.
"A man is born between heaven and earth, how can he hesitate? When it is time to cut it off, cut it off!"
Yan Zhan, take this token and find people at these addresses. Tell them that the Holy Envoy has an order to release the White Lotus Holy Fire! Kill everyone in the Xiao Mansion!
Before taking action, take your confidants with you and set a few fires in the farthest place from the Xiao Mansion in the city to attract all the street patrols!"
Yan Zhan is Yan Shifan's newly promoted confidant. He is also a pirate, but it is not because he is desperate, but because he is a murderer.
He followed Luo Wenlong and killed the most people. After Luo Wenlong gave him to Yan Shifan, Yan Shifan did not treat him badly. As long as there was an opportunity to kill someone and execute him, he would always let him enjoy it.
When Yan Zhan heard Yan Shifan's order, he chuckled, his eyes flashing with fanaticism: "Sir, where is the secret envoy? Can't we save him?"
Yan Shifan sneered: "I have been preparing for this day since he showed his face. It was only a matter of time before he was discovered. With his ability, Xiao Feng will definitely use all his troops to encircle and suppress him.
The person who came to report said that Zhang Wuxin, An Qingyue and Zhan Feiyun had all left the city. Yu Dayou was in the military camp outside the city and could not leave the camp without the emperor's order.
No one will notice the Xiao Mansion at this time, it’s just a few unscrupulous Jinyi guards staring at it. This is the best time to destroy the Xiao Mansion!”
Yan Zhan nodded, turned and left. The Rouge sisters looked at each other, and Rouge Hu smiled tenderly and said, "Master, Xiao Feng is not at home, so what's the use of killing his whole family?"
Yan Shifan smiled evilly: "Xiao Feng has very few weaknesses, except that he has a difficult temper and is worried about everything. Tonight, no matter how many people die in the Xiao Mansion, he will go crazy because of it.
No matter how powerful a person is, once he goes crazy, his whole body will be full of flaws. It will be easy for me and the Holy Envoy to deal with him again.
What's more, Xiao Feng's amulet is Long Live, and Long Live favors him because he believes that he can help him cultivate Taoism. Who would trust a crazy person?
Do you believe in him with a firm heart and transcendence like an immortal?
When the time comes, he will only be thinking about revenge, and how can he have the thought to help Wanzai cultivate Taoism. Wanzai will inevitably become more and more alienated from him.
Without the support of Long Live, Xiao Feng is just a bug that I can easily crush!"
Rouge Humei smiled and approached Yan Shifan: "Master, my sister is a member of the Holy Cult. If you say in front of us that you will not save the emissary, aren't you afraid that we will tell the emissary?"
Yan Shifan Yin smiled and patted Yan Zhihu's plump butt, reluctantly twisting it, full of regrets about whether he could see it or not eat it.
"You won't report me. Even if you do, I don't care. If the secret envoy's life can be exchanged for Xiao Feng's life, there is almost no need to settle the score.
Don’t you think about why the Holy Envoy asked the emissary to hand over all the secret orders and contacts to me before leaving?”
The Rouge sisters looked at each other, their faces turning pale. What did Yan Shifan mean by this, did the Holy Envoy also acquiesce in giving up the secret envoy? That was the person he trusted the most and was closest to!
Rouge Leopard suddenly glanced at her sister and quietly took a step towards Yan Shifan.
Yan Zhihu suddenly retreated, leaving Yan Shifan's clutches, and twisted his waist coquettishly, just in time to block his sister.
"Master, why did you call us sisters here? Are you going to go to Xiao Mansion with us to kill people? Aren't you afraid that we will be recognized?"
Yan Shifan shook his head: "Of course not. You are my people, everyone in the capital knows it, and it is too easy to show your face.
If I can't kill Xiao Feng tonight, will I be stupid enough to risk my life? You two take advantage of the chaos and leave the city and wait at the ferry by the Yinhe River.
If the emissary can rush out, according to the previous agreement, he will definitely go to the ferry. You guys should take care of him.
If there are not many pursuers, help him kill them. If the pursuers are too strong, don't show your face and let them obey their fate. This can be regarded as an explanation to the Holy Envoy."
Sister Rouge obeyed the order and left. Yan Shifan waved, and the maid who had been kneeling beside her climbed over and began to calm Yan Shifan's anger.
The movement was a little slow, Yan Shifan raised his hand and slapped the maid, causing her to fall to the ground, and then she quickly got up and continued.
After leaving Yan's Mansion, the two of them ran quickly in the darkness. At this time, the night market in the capital had just dispersed and the crowds were still bustling. However, in the eyes of the two sisters, it was extremely empty.
Because all the people coming and going on the street were ordinary people, the outposts of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the master spies of Shuntian Prefecture and the Criminal Department, almost all left the city in full force.
"Sister, are we really just going to sit back and watch and let the people of Xiao Mansion be massacred by Yan Shifan?"
"Everyone has his own life. We can't care about other people's lives. It's good if we can care about our own. The Xiao Mansion is right there, and Yan Shifan can always find an opportunity."
"Let's find a way to report a message..."
"Are you crazy? This is not only Yan Shifan's business. He mobilized people from the Holy Religion. This is the Holy Religion's business.
We have no idea how many spies the Holy Cult has in the capital. If we are discovered, we will have no way to survive. Do you want to hide in the Xiao Mansion for the rest of your life and never go out?"
"Sister, not only the Xiao Mansion is empty tonight, but the Yan Mansion is also empty. The secret envoy is not here, and the remaining masters have followed Yan Zhan out and set fire to it.
I really wanted to kill Yan Shifan just now, so I told the Holy Envoy that he was assassinated by someone from Xiao Feng's faction. Anyway, he died without any evidence.
We can steal his Paradise Pill, Ruyu has agreed to help me make the key..."
Yan Zhihu was silent for a moment: "You thought I wasn't tempted? But when I walked to Yan Shifan, I felt a strong sense of danger, so I gave up. That's why I stopped you later."
Rouge Leopard was stunned. She knew that her sister was extremely sensitive to danger, but she really couldn't figure it out. Is there a hidden master in Yan's mansion? Even if there was, in the situation just now...
Yan Zhihu suddenly said: "Have you noticed that the maid Yan Shifan left by his side has not been changed for some days. He used to change her every few days."
Rouge Leopard raised his head in shock: "No way, I saw Yan Shifan torturing that maid with my own eyes.
If something goes wrong, he will be kicked and hit very hard."
Yan Zhihu bit his lips and recalled in his mind: "Because of this, Yan Shifan never struck lightly or harshly. Many maids were sent back to the backyard to recuperate after being beaten, but this maid seems to have never been there to recuperate."
At this time, the maid had completed her task and was wiping her mouth, looking at Yan Shifan longingly.
Yan Shifan gasped for breath, smiled and slapped the maid quickly and hard, causing her to fall to the ground with a "pop" sound.
The maid lay on the ground, moaning in ecstasy, hugging Yan Shifan's thigh tightly with both hands, and suddenly started to giggle.
"Sir, I'm better than the Rouge sisters. Those two are both worthless and worthless.
I was tortured by that old man in the cave for seven or eight years, so why am I not better than them?"
Yan Shifan stroked her hair and said pleasantly: "It's rare for someone to be born with a bitch like you. You have to be beaten to feel comfortable.
The Holy Envoy sent you to me, which can be regarded as a wise use of people. If he really brings someone like the emissary over again, it will be a world of difference to you."
The maid chuckled and said: "The secret envoy has revealed his identity and can no longer stay in the capital. The Holy Envoy will naturally send someone again.
I have no problem serving and protecting you. If I really do big things, the Holy Envoy can’t trust me, let alone those two coquettish sisters, Rouge Sisters.”
Yan Shifan smiled coldly, with an incomprehensible look in his one eye. The hand stroking the maid's hair gradually tightened, and the maid's laughter gradually became ecstatic again.
At this time, the secret envoy and the old Taoist were already covered in dust in the dilapidated house of Shantang, like two groundhogs jumping up and down.
The emissary saw that the old man had already reached his limit, and he could catch him as long as he worked harder.
But it happened that his internal injuries were not healed either. He was just one breath away, which kept this guy crawling around dangerously and surviving from desperate situations.
There was a sneer, and the old man's sleeves were scratched by the emissary. There was another sneer, and the boss's trousers were scratched by the emissary. Another sneer, the old man's shoes were scratched off by the emissary.
As time went by, the emissary became familiar with the internal environment of Shantang, and Lao Dao's home field advantage became weaker and weaker. Logically speaking, he should give up this place and continue to work in another place.
Because he is familiar with this area, but the emissary needs to get familiar with it again. But he would rather become more and more dangerous, and would not change places.
The emissary held one of Lao Dao's shoes in his hand and suddenly understood the reason.
This old guy didn't run away aimlessly, he just wanted to lead him here! As for why he did this, it's easy to understand.
The old man must have seen the girl in the car on the way and ran back to report the message. At that time, he didn't know the destination of the carriage, so he could only agree on a place that everyone knew.
After Lao Dao followed the carriage and found his residence, he could have run back quietly and brought someone back to catch him.
But he didn't. He was worried that in the time it took him to go back and forth, the five girls would have turned into dregs.
After thinking about this, the emissary turned over and ran without hesitation. He had deep internal strength and still had the stamina to run wildly, just to get as far away from the temple as possible.
There is definitely no way to go back to the place where the five girls live. It is estimated that as soon as the reinforcements arrive, the old man will lead the reinforcements to that place.
Therefore, he had to escape in the darkness before reinforcements arrived. The outside of the city was so vast that trying to find him was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The emissary had just taken a few steps when he heard a sound behind him. He turned around and saw the old Taoist running behind him out of breath, his clothes torn, almost naked.
The secret envoy gritted his teeth and sped up, and the old Taoist also accelerated as hard as he could to keep up.
The emissary knew his purpose. As long as he followed him from a distance, the emissary's traces would not disappear completely, and the search would be more accurate.
And if the emissary turns back to hunt down Lao Dao, this distance is enough for Lao Dao to escape. Lao Dao is not good at martial arts but has rich experience in martial arts.
The emissary laughed evilly and ran as fast as he could. After the old man behind him also picked up his speed, he jumped up suddenly.
, kicked on an oncoming tree, the huge impact caused the tree trunk to shake violently, and the yellow leaves fell one after another.
With the force of this kick, the secret envoy's entire body was shot out in the opposite direction instantly like an off-line arrow.
There were no trees in front of Lao Dao that could slow him down. He quickly retracted his steps, but his whole body still rushed forward along the inertia.
One forward and one reverse, walking towards each other. With the superposition of speeds, the distance between the two people shortened extremely quickly. The emissary formed claws in the air and grabbed at Lao Dao.
The old Taoist laughed miserably, letting out the breath that had been held in his chest for a long time, and shouted to the sky: "Come here, the White Lotus Sect is here!"
This shrill roar roared across the night sky, startling several nests of jackdaws on nearby trees. They soared into the sky, hovered in the air, and made a squawking sound that lingered for a long time.
