Zhang Er and Wang Wu who were sitting in front of the carriage saw it was Zhang Baihu and quickly pulled the reins to stop the carriage. Shao Yan walked out of the carriage. The moment Zhang Baihu saw Shao Yan, he was extremely excited and immediately
Dismounted and ran over
"My subordinate Zhang Lian has seen Mr. Shao!" Zhang Baihu fell at Shao Yan's feet. The followers behind him knelt down and said in unison: "I have seen Mr. Shao!" The voice was deafening and could even be heard in the distance.
echo
"Brothers, please wake up quickly!" Shao Yan waved his hand with a smile. He said that Zhang Lian's men are all smart and capable. At this moment, it is indeed extraordinary to see them. They are all full of energy and have bright eyes. Although they are wearing civilian clothes, they still
His heroic spirit remains unchanged, but there is a hidden murderous aura all over his body.
"Mr. Shao, my subordinates have found you by following the marks you left." Zhang Lian came to the carriage with a smile on his face. His expression instantly turned from joy to worry, and said, "Whether Master Deng can escape this time depends on Shao."
Sir"
Zhang Lian looked worried when he spoke, and his face was a bit haggard. Shao Yan knew that he was loyal to Deng Bingtang. If he hadn't persuaded him many times, this guy might have led someone to rob the prison long ago. But when he heard that the other party was giving up all his hopes
Placed on himself, Shao Yan suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders and said: "Master Deng and I have a very good relationship. How can I stand by and watch this time when I am framed by a traitor? Zhang Baihu does not need to worry, Shao will definitely do his best to deal with it."
Go and rescue Mr. Deng”
"Thank you, Mr. Shao!" The worries on Zhang Lian's face disappeared, revealing a faint smile.
"You're welcome, you and I are considered brothers, and we should treat each other with sincerity," Shao Yan patted his shoulder and said.
"Mr. Shao is right, Zhang Lian hopes that Mr. Shao will obey him from now on."
Just as he was saying this, the two Miaoshan girls also got out of the car. Zhang Baihu saw that Shaoyan had brought his family members with him this time. He was obviously determined to save people with death, and he couldn't help but feel moved by Shaoyan's lofty spirit.
Moved, he hurriedly stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted the two ladies, saying, "Zhang Lian has met these two ladies."
Yun Yun is Shao Yan's newly appointed Concubine Yun. Although they are named husband and wife but have not yet become husband and wife, they can barely accept the term. Miao Shan is quite different. She was mistaken for someone else even though she was just a young girl.
Wife, if this gets spread, how will she face the world in the future?
Seeing this girl's pretty face, her cheeks were flushed, her starry eyes were full of joy and shyness, Shao Yan gave her an I-will-take-responsibility look, and Miao Shan seemed to understand but not understand.
Nodding, her pretty face suddenly looked like a ripe red apple, making people want to take a bite.
Seeing that neither of the two 'ladies' spoke, Zhang Baihu realized that he had spoken hastily and hurriedly said: "If Zhang Lian has been negligent in any way, please forgive me, two ladies!"
This kid's mind works very fast. He only needed to use the word "neglect" to erase all the embarrassment. Shao Yan secretly praised his "quick thinking"
After chatting for a while, Shao Yan turned the topic to rescuing people. Zhang Baihu told him that Deng Bingtang was framed for rebellion a month ago. Emperor Zheng Kai became so angry that he almost beheaded him on the spot. Fortunately, Princess Zheng Yuegui interceded.
The emperor then expressed his intention to temporarily postpone the probation period.
Zheng Yuegui is the first woman Shao Yan has met in this world, and she is also the most noble one. After being away from Nanliang for so long, Shao Yan misses this beautiful and kind princess a little, and hopes to have the opportunity to meet her.

I heard from Zhang Baihu that Zheng Yuegui often interceded for Deng Bingtang in front of the emperor for his case. However, Zheng Kai was a weak monarch with a weak appearance and a sexual heart. Not only did he not listen to Zheng Yuegui's persuasion, but he became even more
Relying on the gang of treacherous ministers led by Wang Boyan, Zheng Yuegui had no choice but to persuade the emperor to postpone Master Deng's sentence, and at the same time sent his personal maid Xiaoxiang out of the palace to inquire about Shao Yan's whereabouts. Liu Fuju only knew that Shao Yan was there.
After leaving Donglin, he had no way of knowing when he would return.
Xiaoxiang had no choice but to return disappointed. On the way back to the palace, she ran into Zhang Baihu in disguise. Zhang Baihu was overjoyed when he heard the news that Deng Bingtang's death penalty was suspended, and started to inquire about Shao Yan's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, this was a man waiting for him.

Thinking that Deng Bingtang would be dragged to the execution ground in a few days, Zhang Baihu was so angry that he beat his chest, clenched his fists and cursed: "You are an ignorant and ignorant king. It is in vain that my family is loyal to him, but he in turn believes in slander. Such a foolish king, I Zhang
It doesn’t matter if you don’t even follow.” Zhang Baihu stabbed the knife in his hand on the ground.
Before that, Shao Yan still had a glimmer of hope for Emperor Nanliang, thinking that as long as he could find a way to persuade the emperor, he might be able to save Deng Bingtang's life. From this point of view, he was being sentimental. In three days, Deng Bingtang would die.
He was about to be dragged to the execution ground. If he couldn't come up with corresponding countermeasures within three days, Deng Bingtang would be killed. Shao Yan was so anxious that he rubbed his forehead and turned back and forth. After a moment of tossing and turning, he suddenly came up with a plan in his mind and quietly
He pulled Zhang Baihu aside and asked in a low voice: "Brother Zhang, you just said that Xiaoxiang knows you, can you help me contact her?"
Zhang Baihu was startled for a moment, then nodded readily, "Yes."
"That's good. You try to find her as soon as possible. I will wait for you at Yuelai Inn. Also, you ask your people to keep an eye on Mr. Deng's news. If there is any trouble, come and tell me immediately."
"I obey!" Zhang Baihu couldn't understand what he heard, but he absolutely believed in Shao Yan's intelligence, so he quickly turned around and left with No. 100 subordinates, disappearing into the vast jungle in an instant.
After Zhang Baihu left, Shao Yan and others got back on the carriage and drove quickly to the capital. Within an hour, they arrived at Suicheng, the capital of Nanliang. According to the prior agreement, Shao Yan found the Yuelai Inn.
When the waiter saw the distinguished guests arriving, he quickly walked to the door to greet them and said, "Hey, these distinguished guests have come all the way. Are they staying in a hotel? If it is accommodation, the hotel has several good private rooms. If it is drinking and dining,
Please look elsewhere.”
"What nonsense? Didn't you see so many of us? Of course we are staying in a hotel," Wang Wu said angrily.
Shao Yan secretly laughed, no wonder Wang Wu, what the store clerk said was really too childish. The inn specializes in providing food and accommodation for guests. I came here after a long journey. If I don't stay in the hotel, can I come here for a visit?
"Oh, that's it. It's a great honor for our store to receive distinguished guests like you. The store has everything you need. I guarantee your satisfaction. If there's anything I don't like, please forgive me. If you are satisfied with our store,
If you have any good suggestions, please feel free to put them forward and the store will make corrections according to your wishes. If..."
Seeing the waiter chatting endlessly, Shao Yan had never seen such a verbose waiter since time travel, so he interrupted him casually: "You said your store has everything, so do you have knives in your store?
"
"Knife?" The shop clerk was stunned for a moment and said cheerfully: "Of course, I do. I wonder if you want a kitchen knife or a hatchet, for chopping meat or chopping bones?"
Shao Yan shook his head, "None of them."
The shop clerk touched his head and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What kind of knife is that?"
"A knife to cut off your tongue." Shao Yan gestured. The shop assistant was so frightened that he quickly closed his mouth. Yun Yun and others burst into laughter.
Damn it, if you are still nagging in front of me, I will castrate you with one knife. Shao Yan swaggered into the lobby of the inn, holding Miao Shan's hand, followed closely by Zhang Er, Wang Wu and the four elders.
The master followed in an orderly manner. When the innkeeper saw so many guests, he hurriedly walked away from the counter with a smile. Shao Yan took out a fifty-tael silver note and put it on the table and said: "Innkeeper
Yes, open three rooms for me.”
"This?" The shopkeeper took the banknote, frowned slightly, and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize and said with a smile: "Sir, the ordinary rooms in the shop are full, and the rest are the fine private rooms upstairs.
, so this price”
Come on, don’t you just want to add more money? Wages have not increased these days, but prices have risen very quickly. Shao Yan took out another fifty taels and threw it on the table disapprovingly, “Are these enough?”
When the shopkeeper saw that he was selling out a hundred taels, he couldn't help but be elated and said quickly: "That's enough, that's enough. This man is not only handsome in appearance, but he is also generous and forthright. It is really a blessing for the small shop to welcome guests like you."
Under the temptation of money, people can live or die. Shao Yan gave the old shopkeeper a hard look and said: "Don't just talk about useless things, talk to your guys later, don't go there when nothing happens."
We just need to send some tea to our room.”
"Yes, sir," the shopkeeper said respectfully.
Shao Yan led everyone upstairs. Just as they had just climbed to the second floor, they saw a drunk man walking out of the room on the east side. Shao Yan saw that he was swaying while walking, talking nonsense while walking, and he was far away.
You could smell the smell of alcohol all over his body, and he was obviously very drunk. The drunk man raised his head and glanced at Shao Yan, then continued to move forward a few steps. Shao Yan and others walked towards the wing indifferently. Who knew?
