The sunset illuminates the town, and people return home after sunset, carrying hoes on their backs. There is smoke from cooking fires everywhere, and dogs bark from time to time.
Yankan stopped and watched.
Behind him were a dozen demon-suppressing envoys.
Chaosi Lane recorded in the Qingxuan Office is very simple. Although there is a clear address, Yan Guan still couldn't believe it when he actually arrived here.
He may even wonder if he went astray.
A demon-suppressing envoy stopped a farmer carrying a hoe and asked politely: "Old man, where is Chaosi Lane?"
The farmer looked at them for a few times, scratched his head and said to himself: "Do people from outside also come to the old god to seek education?"
Yan Kan took a few steps forward and asked curiously: "Who is the old god you are talking about?"
The farmer suddenly said warily: "I don't know, old fairy, why are you looking for Chaosixiang?"
Yan Kan didn't quite understand the farmer's reaction at this time.
One of the Demon Suppressing Envoys said bluntly: "We are from the Qingxuan Department, and we are looking for Zhao Xiyan from Chaosixiang."
The farmer said blankly: "What green potatoes? I have sweet potatoes here. Do you want to eat them?"
The Demon Suppressor's head was full of black lines, and he corrected word by word: "It's the Qingxuan Department, which is responsible for subduing demons and eliminating demons. It has jurisdiction over sects like Chaosixiang."
The farmer was shocked and said: "Destroying demons? Are there monsters in our town?"
The Demon Suppressor tried his best to calm down and said: "Please, please grasp the key point. You only need to tell us where the school is in Chaosi Lane."
The farmer scratched his head and said: "There are no monsters. It scared me. I have an old god here. How could there be monsters in the town?"
The demon-suppressing envoy couldn't hold back his anger. Just as he was about to step forward, Yan Kan stopped him with his hand. Not only was it remote, the people in the town had never even heard of the Qingxuan Department, and they seemed to respect that old god very much. Yan Kan Kan thought for a moment and then said politely: "We are indeed here to seek education from the old god. Please give me some guidance."
The farmer raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? I didn't know the old immortal just now, and now I'm here to study. I think you have ulterior motives. Leave quickly, or I'll give you a hoe."
The demon-suppressing envoy who spoke earlier waved his hand suddenly, and a gust of wind suddenly arose in the field. He looked at the farmer who seemed to be frightened and threatened: "If you stop talking, I will prevent you from seeing tomorrow." sun!"
Yan Kan turned around and scolded: "What are you talking about! Apologize to my father-in-law!"
"There's no need to apologize. It's better to keep your life."
The crisp sound came from far away, and when Yan Guan heard the sound, he saw Miss Zhao approaching with a sword in hand, taking steps that she would never recognize.
Yan Guan clasped his hands hurriedly and said, "Miss Zhao, it was just a misunderstanding just now. It was just that the Demon Suppressor under my command was a little anxious when asking for directions. There was no malice."
Zhao Xiyan said coldly: "Since you are asking for directions, you must maintain a good attitude."
The demon-suppressing envoy was very unconvinced. When he followed Liu Xingling, except when facing Lin Sword God, when had he ever humbled himself in a low voice? What's more, Zhao Xiyan is just a senior. He also said coldly: "Our attitude in asking for directions is good enough. This guy always has something to lose. Miss Zhao wants my life. It seems that she won't let Qingxuan Department go." In my eyes, if that were the case, there would be no need for Chaosixiang to exist."
Zhao Xiyan narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Good boy, you are so brave. I wonder if you can take my sword?"
After she finished speaking, she immediately drew her sword out of its sheath.
Yan Kan reacted and hurriedly tried to stop him, but due to his cultivation level, he couldn't even make contact and was blown away by the breath of Zhao Xiyan's drawn sword.
The remaining demon-suppressing envoys saw this scene and did not care about anything else. Some went to help Yan Guan, and some went to besiege Zhao Xiyan. The scene was chaotic for a while.
The farmer was really frightened this time.
He quickly grabbed Zhao Xiyan and said anxiously: "No, no, no!"
Although the previous demon-suppressing envoy was afraid of Zhao Xiyan's cultivation, relying on his status as superior to the sect, he did not give in even a step and said sternly: "Zhao Xiyan, your attack on Qingxuan Department Yan Xingling is like a conspiracy. If you don’t surrender, the entire Kutan people will surrender and be executed. If you don’t surrender, this town will have to pay the price for your actions!”
There was a cold light in Zhao Xiyan's eyes. Of course she could kill all these people in one go, but just like the Demon Suppressor, Yan Kan's status was higher than Kutan's hundreds of millions. If the crime was implicated on everyone in the town, , she can leave in style, what should these people do?
If she really wants to get up, she actually doesn't have any reason.
Although she never makes any sense.
But we are not outside now after all.
She didn't like the feeling of being tied down, but in this town, it was difficult for her to have no worries.
At this time, Yan Guan was limping over, being supported by two demon-suppressing envoys. He still said kindly: "It's all a misunderstanding. My demon-suppressing envoys have a bad attitude towards my father-in-law. Miss Zhao also punished me in disguise. This incident The matter is settled here and everyone is on good terms.”
Zhao Xiyan looked at Yan Kan unexpectedly. He was not weak. Before she appeared, Yan Kan had indeed reprimanded the Demon Suppressor immediately. He was not pretending, he was just an official of the Qingxuan Department. Such behavior , indeed rare.
She waved the farmer to go home, held her sword and stared at Yan Kan and asked, "Yan Xingling traveled thousands of miles to come here, what is his intention?"
Seeing that Zhao Xiyan's attitude had softened a little, Yan Guan smiled and said: "As soon as Panmen saw her, he knew that Miss Zhao was quite a character, and she also contributed a lot to the Sui Dynasty's victory. Lu Qingzhi, Miss Zhao is indeed an outstanding heroine of the Sui Dynasty. See you again today and we will have a deeper understanding."
Zhao Xiyan said impatiently: "There is nothing missing from these."
Yan Guan immediately said seriously: "Miss Zhao, can you lead the way and let me wait for a look at Chaosixiang?"
Zhao Xiyan said loudly: "No."
Yan Guan shook his head and laughed: "Actually, I have no other intention here. Miss Zhao may know that not long after I took up the post of acting order of Qingxuan Department, I didn't know much about many things in the past. I accidentally saw the information about Chaosi Lane. But I found that only Miss Zhao was recorded, so I was very curious, what kind of sect is Chaosixiang?"
Zhao Xiyan said: "Since you don't understand many things, you should study hard. There is so much curiosity. Although Kutan has fewer monsters now than before, it is still compared with the days when monsters were rare. This is very exaggerated. As an official of the Qingxuan Department, I don’t want to try my best to subjugate and eliminate demons, so I’m just wandering around here.”
Yan Kan was at a loss for words for a moment, he paused and said: "The recurring plague of Kutan monsters has indeed decreased. Now I still have the ability to deal with it, so I can visit Chaosi Lane with peace of mind. Although it makes sense to overwhelm others, I After all, it is the acting order of the Qingxuan Department, so Miss Zhao cannot refuse to let me visit Chaosi Lane."
Zhao Xiyan said indifferently: "I'm going to refuse, what can you do?"
Yan Guan frowned and said, "I have lowered my attitude enough. How could Miss Zhao be so unreasonable? It was just a look. Could it be that there was something unforgiving in Chaosi Alley that Miss Zhao refused with all her strength? If so, Then I will no longer be visiting, but investigating.”
Zhao Xiyan held the sword in his hand again and said with a smile: "Liu Xuanming said before his death that as long as Chaosixiang does not do anything that endangers the entire Kutan or worse, the Qingxuan Department will not visit at will, and will not You won’t care about the affairs of Chaosixiang. Even though you are the one commanding the Qingxuan Department now, there is no reason to break the rules set by Liu Xuan.”
Yan Guan's face was startled, and he turned back to look at the demon-suppressing envoys. The latter were all confused and obviously had no idea about this.
Zhao Xiyan said: "Don't look at them. Because Liu Xuan has decided this matter, the ordinary demon-suppressing envoys don't know about it. I'm afraid many of them don't know about Chaosixiang. If Yan Xingling doesn't know anything about it either, Then go back and ask carefully, and I will send you off not far away."
Yan Kan looked solemn.
He didn't know whether Liu Xuanming said this, but what was certain was that Chu Chunqiu, the leader, did not know about this. That could only mean that Liu Xuanming did not report the incident in Chaosixiang to Shendu. Whether there was any problem, it was difficult for Yan Guan to know, but he was even more convinced that Chaosi Lane was unusual.
Because even if Zhao Xiyan is lying, it cannot change the fact that there is a problem in Chaosi Lane.
Although the purpose of Yan Kan's trip was to investigate, it was actually just for a visit. He did not want to directly turn against Chao Si Xiang. There was an old god in Mo Chao Si Xiang. Zhao Xiyan alone was definitely not one of them. These people can beat each other, but once their faces are broken, Yan Guan has no doubt that Zhao Xiyan will really kill them.
Thinking of this, Yan Guan was not in a dilemma, because the purpose of this trip had actually been completed. He simply handed over and said: "In that case, I will leave first."
Seeing Yan Kan leading the demon-suppressing envoys to leave without hesitation, Zhao Xiyan frowned slightly, feeling quite baffled.
Before she could return to Chaosi Lane, she heard multiple footsteps suddenly coming from behind her.
Zhao Xiyan's face suddenly turned cold. Was this an excuse to leave, but was he actually trying to follow him?
Without any hesitation, she suddenly turned around and drew her sword directly.
Jiang Wang panicked and stretched out his hand to intercept Zhao Xiyan's sword, and said with a confused face: "What is Miss Zhao doing?"
Zhao Xiyan looked around in surprise and saw no trace of Yan Kan, only Li Shenyuan and others. She looked at Jiang Wang and said blankly: "Why is it you?"
Jiang Wang patted his chest and said, "I heard that Yan Kan seemed to want to investigate Chaosixiang, so I came to take a look. Judging from your reaction just now, have you already met Yan Kan?"
Zhao Xiyan briefly summarized the situation just now, then frowned and said: "If you came here to investigate deliberately, what is the reason? Is it just because my name is only recorded in the Qingxuan Department?"
Jiang Wang said curiously: "Look, Liu Xuanming gave Chaosixiang such privileges, but did not inform other people in the Qingxuan Department. This is very strange no matter how you think about it, unless Liu Xuanming doesn't want this matter to be publicized. I know, in other words, there may be some agreement between Miss Zhao’s teacher and Liu Xuanming.”
Zhao Xiyan said thoughtfully: "The teacher mentioned that outsiders are not allowed to enter Chaosi Lane, especially people from the Qingxuan Department, but I still don't know why. It seems that the teacher does have some secrets. ah."
"And he once gave me a list and asked me to sort the people on the list according to their cultivation level. When I have enough strength, I will kill them one by one. I have almost finished killing them because some people did not wait for me. If you kill, you are already dead.”
Jiang Wang was surprised and said, "You didn't ask what was going on and just carried it out?"
Zhao Xiyan raised his eyes and looked at him and said: "I never ask about the teacher's decision, I just follow it. Although I suspect that they may be the teacher's former enemies, some people are really weak in cultivation and are not qualified anyway. Becoming the teacher’s enemy.”
Jiang Wang is not qualified.
He analyzed the current situation and said: "But your refusal to Yan Guan to take a look at Chaosixiang has already made him suspicious. So retreating at this time is nothing more than lack of ability. I am afraid that he will stare at you from behind. If Chaosixiang's Only Liu Xuanming knows the situation. Although it is not certain whether Yan Kan is Chu Chunqiu's illegitimate son, if Chu Chunqiu finds out about this matter, Chao Si Xiang will probably face a lot of trouble."
Zhao Xiyan grinned, "I'm not afraid of big trouble."
Li Shenyuan couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Miss Zhao, who named Chaosixiang?"
Zhao Xiyan said casually: "My teacher, who else can I have?"
Li Shenyuan asked again: "How old is your teacher and what does he look like?"
Zhao Xiyan asked in confusion: "Why do you ask this?"
