Chen Xuan, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes.
Just now, he heard what seemed to be hurried footsteps outside.
"what's the situation!"
Chen Xuan turned his head and looked out the window.
"Quick, chase."
"People ran that way."
"Hurry up and make sure you don't let anyone run away."
There were many soldiers holding torches outside, and shouts reached Chen Xuan's ears.
"The Dragon Elephant Army is hunting down the remnants of the government again!"
Chen Xuan guessed.
The Sheriff's Mansion, the Duwei's Mansion, and the County Cheng's Mansion all fell, but there were also many martial arts masters who had reached the Inner Qi Realm in the government offices, and many of them fought their way out of the siege and escaped.
Some people even escaped through tunnels in advance.
These days, every night there are soldiers hunting down the remnants of the Jin government.
"No matter who I am chasing, it has nothing to do with me."
Chen Xuan did not get up and go out to check.
The affairs between the Jin government and the rebellious army have nothing to do with him.
He didn't want to take the initiative to get involved in this troublesome whirlpool.
There is no shortage of Inner Qi Realm martial artists among the rebel army, and there are Taoists from the Taiping Sect among them. It can be seen that he has the cultivation of Inner Qi Realm. For an unfamiliar Inner Qi Realm, the Rebellion Army will definitely not just let it go.
However, after what happened, Chen Xuan was not in the mood to sleep for the time being. He circulated his inner energy and gathered it on his ears. His hearing improved several times compared to before, and he could vaguely hear the sounds of killing in the distance.
"Um?"
Chen Xuan's ears moved, and he heard footsteps getting closer and closer. It seemed that someone was rushing towards the location of his yard. Although the sound was very soft, as if he was practicing Qing Gong, but with the increase in inner energy, he still
heard it.
thump--
At this moment, a black shadow climbed over the wall and entered.
This black shadow climbed into the wall and immediately rushed into the house, closed the door, and met Chen Xuan's eyes.
"Hurry up and chase, someone is running this way."
"Search door to door for me, and I'll reward you with a reward of ten thousand taels of silver if you catch the fugitive."
At this time, Chen Xuan heard the soldiers' voices again.
"here we go again!"
Chen Xuan immediately used the invisibility charm and rushed to the rafters to wait for the soldiers to take the fugitive away.
A fugitive was found in this house and he could no longer stay there. He had to change his house.
"Ahem, cough, where are the people?"
The person who rushed into the room coughed twice, and then looked surprised when he saw Chen Xuan disappear.
He was absolutely unmistakable. There was definitely someone in the room just now.
"Is it an invisibility charm?"
Bai Ning was born in the top noble family in Yuanzhou. Although he was only a branch of the top noble family, his father was also the governor of Yingchuan County, so he naturally knew about the invisibility charm.
"No, the rebels are chasing us."
At this time, Bai Ning also noticed the soldiers outside the house.
"Senior, save me, and the Bai family will be rewarded generously."
Bai Ning lowered his voice and shouted.
"The Bai family?"
Hearing this, Chen Xuan frowned slightly on the beam.
After staying in the county for such a long time, I naturally have some understanding of some of the top noble families in Yuanzhou.
Officials of fifth rank and above such as county governors, county magistrates, and captains are basically from the top noble families in Yuanzhou. However, local noble families in Yingchuan County can basically only serve as officials below fifth rank.
Only those who are related by marriage to the top nobles in Yuanzhou are eligible to become officials of fifth rank or above.
The governor of Yingchuan County is named Bai.
boom--
The wooden door of the house was kicked open.
"Search for me!"
A group of soldiers rushed in and shouted loudly.
"Senior, I have a treasure from the Sheriff's Mansion."
Seeing the soldiers pouring in, Bai Ning's tone became very urgent.
If he was caught by the rebels, he would really be dead and there would be no possibility of escape.
"Don't make a sound."
Chen Xuan's voice rang in Bai Ning's ears.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Xuan inspired an invisibility charm and attached it to Bai Ning's body, and his figure disappeared from the room.
boom--
The door of the room was kicked open, and a group of soldiers rushed in, searching through the boxes and cabinets.
When you see something valuable, take it directly.
…
…
Jingrenfang, Chenzhai.
Chen Xuan stunned Bai Ning and searched his whole body.
Except for some banknotes, a few seals, and a magic talisman, there was nothing extra.
"Could it be that the treasure of the Sheriff's Mansion is this talisman?"
Chen Xuan thought.
Chen Xuan didn't recognize the runes on the talisman, so he didn't dare to inject inner energy at will.
Although Chen Xuan didn't recognize the runes on this talisman, he could still tell that the runes contained in the talisman were much more complex than the primary talisman, at least the intermediate talisman.
"No more guessing. Just wake this kid up and ask."
Chen Xuan was too lazy to waste his brain cells, so he took out the antidote for smoke and shook it next to Bai Ning's nose.
After about ten breaths, Bai Ning opened his eyelids and shook his dizzy head.
"You kid, how dare you lie to me."
Chen Xuan adjusted his throat muscles and his voice was rough and loud.
At the same time, his appearance has also changed, and he is now a middle-aged man with a beard.
"Senior, why did you say this?"
Bai Ning straightened up and saw that everything on his body had been found and placed on the table.
However, there was no change in his expression. The opponent was a martial artist in the Inner Qi Realm, and he was only in the Yang Zang Realm. Not to mention the things on his body, his life was in the hands of the opponent.
What's more, Chen Xuan rescued him from the rebels.
"Where is the treasure you mentioned?"
Chen Xuandao.
"The talisman in the hands of the senior is an intermediate talisman called a storage talisman. Its function is similar to a storage bag." Bai Ning explained: "However, the storage bag is a magic weapon and has no limit on the number of times it can be used, but the storage talisman is a consumption talisman.
, it can be opened and closed a hundred times. After a hundred times, the energy will be exhausted and turned into ashes."
