The news about Yanbei's sealing of the city has spread in the city. Although there is no commotion among the people, some people who rely on escorts and traders have some complaints. However, due to Wanjun's kindness to the people in Yanbei for many years, although There were complaints, but there were no drastic actions.
In Tonggu Xuan, Wang Heng was pacing in the hall. From his slightly panicked steps, he could already see the urgency in his heart. In addition, he looked outside Tonggu Xuan from time to time, which made the shopkeeper behind him equally uneasy.
"Sir, what are you doing?" The shopkeeper put down the account book in his hand, walked to Wang Heng's side, and spoke respectfully.
Wang Heng stopped walking, looked back from outside the pavilion, glanced slightly at the shopkeeper behind him, frowned and said: "The envoy of Jin has been away for a long time, what can Shan Bin say? After all, he is still Qi Yun's general. What if he gives birth to a child?" With evil intentions, the Jin envoys have thrown themselves into a trap. Now that Yanbei City has been sealed, we have become the turtles in the urn..."
"Young Master is very worried. Didn't Elder Xu follow the Young Master's order and chase him for a long time? I think it won't be long before there will be news." The shopkeeper stood behind him and comforted the young master.
When Wang Heng heard this, not only did he not relax his brows, but his eyes became even more worried. The incident in Yanbei had far exceeded his father's expectations. Today I heard that outside the south city of Yanbei, not only Gao Deng, but also the other two patrols had At the bottom of the city, the 100,000 troops and horses from Yanbei Camp have also set off to watch Yanbei City coming...
At this point, Wang Heng thought to himself. He had always thought that he was not as resourceful as his father, but now it seems that it is really difficult to control the current situation in Yanbei. Whenever he thinks about this, Wang Heng will always whisper to himself: "Father, if you are here So, how to reverse the current situation? Although the Jin envoy is confident, it always makes people feel that something is wrong. I hope my son is overly worried..."
The shopkeeper behind him knew that there were some words he should not listen to, so he quietly stepped back a few steps. When he wanted to exit the front hall, he heard the slight sound of clothes breaking through the air outside Tonggu Xuan.
The shopkeeper was immediately alert and looked at Wang Heng in the hall. His son had already noticed it. The two met each other, and when they were secretly on guard, they heard a soft whisper coming from outside the hall.
"Sir, it's me."
Hearing Elder Xu's voice, both the young master and the shopkeeper were relieved. For a moment, the secret energy in their bodies was removed. Elder Xu had already used Qinggong to jump into Tongguxuan. Without waiting for Wang Heng to ask questions, he was already a little excited and eager. Open your mouth.
"Sir, this is great news." Elder Xu reported to Wang Heng with joy in his eyes and a hint of ruthlessness.
Wang Heng originally sent Elder Xu to keep an eye on the Jin envoy to prevent changes in the city, but when he saw Elder Xu acting like this, he immediately asked out of curiosity: "Oh? I can make Elder Xu give good news. It seems that this matter is not simple. Is the plan of the Jin envoy accomplished? Or is the matter in Yanbei already decided?"
Elder Xu twirled the long beard on his lips, his eyes widened, and the murderous intent in his eyes could no longer be concealed: "None of them, Master, do you still remember that in the Gordon Patrol Army, the one who ruined our plan? juvenile?"
Wang Heng's heart froze, and he immediately thought of the young man who not only ruined his plan to attack the patrol at night, but also seriously injured himself. If Elder Xu had not appeared in time and rescued him from the patrol, he would have lost his life now. He had already become a prisoner under the guard's rank. Old hatred came to his heart and he spoke sternly.
"Of course I remember. I wish I could eat his flesh alive to relieve the hatred in my heart. Did Elder Xu... have news about him?"
Xu Mo twirled his long beard: "Not only do we have news about him, he is in Yanbei City at the moment."
"What are you talking about? That boy is in Yanbei City? Where is he?" Wang Heng temporarily put aside his distracting thoughts about the Jin envoy and asked urgently.
"He... took two generals and entered the city from the south of Yanbei City." Xu Mo reported everything he saw while lurking on the tower of Yanbei City to Wang Heng truthfully.
The frown on his brows became tighter, and Wang Heng's eyes showed a little panic. The young man ruined his plan in Yanbei Army that day, and now he appears in Yanbei City again. Is this all a plan by Gordon? In this case, would Shan Bin's defection to Jin be also a trap?
"No, we have to think of a way to meet with the envoy of Jin first and inform him of the matter. If this is Qi Yun's plan, it will be over as soon as my cavalry from Jin arrives and accepts Qi Yun's plan." Wang Heng Zigu murmured a few words and raised his eyes suddenly.
Xu Mo was standing by and couldn't hear clearly what the young master said to himself. He only saw the panic in the young master's eyes and couldn't help but suggest: "
If the young master is worried about that boy doing something bad, I will set off immediately and stay until nightfall, looking for an opportunity to kill him on the spot..." Kanshu La
"No, the current situation in Yanbei City makes it inappropriate to act rashly. I'm worried about that kid... No, all of this is Qi Yun's plan to lure me into the situation. Elder Xu, take the first step and keep an eye on him secretly. That kid, if he does something strange, you should come and report it immediately. I will find the envoy first and explain the matter." Wang Hengzi almost lost his life in the patrol, but he was much calmer. After thinking for a while, he ordered Elder Xu to monitor first.
"Sir, please forgive Xu for speaking frankly. The Jin envoy is very scheming. In my opinion, he is not even inferior to the sect master. We..." Elder Xu hesitated to speak.
Xu Mo originally wanted to persuade the young master to continue acting for his own selfish reasons, but from what he had seen and heard in the past few days, he knew that the affairs in Yanbei City were already beyond his control. He was worried that if this continued, he would be deeply involved and find it difficult to get out. He wanted to speak out to dissuade her, but before he could finish his words, the young master looked directly at him and swallowed back his unspoken words.
"Elder Xu...are you thinking of retreating? The elder is the elder of our Golden Sword Sect. He also knows many things. If you want to retreat now, it may be difficult to get out, right?" Although Wang Heng is not from the Golden Sword Sect, he Lord, but the aura around him at this moment made Xu Mo feel fearful.
Although he knew that this young master was not as good as him in terms of experience and martial arts, Elder Xu felt as cold as the sect master from the bottom of his heart at this moment. He secretly cursed himself for being troublesome. He originally wanted to use the young master's power to rise to power, but now he is unable to do so. It is difficult to get out of the Yanbei incident.
The young master in front of him seems to have grown a lot after experiencing the patrolling army. He is becoming more and more like the master of the sect. Regardless of his status as a member of the Jin Dynasty or what he has done over the years, he cannot escape from it no matter what...
Thinking of this, Xu Mo changed his previous attitude and bowed with respect. He approached Wang Heng and said, "Young Master, you are serious. Xu has received so much favor from the sect master. How dare you have second thoughts? This old destiny is also the sect's." Between the master and the young master, if the young master talks about going east, Xu will never dare to go west."
Wang Heng looked at the old fox and realized what his father had taught him over the years. Regardless of his level of martial arts, as long as he had control over people's hearts, these people would become pawns in his hands and could be manipulated. He immediately put away the cold look on his face and put on a look of fear. Color, he held Xu Mo up and opened his mouth.
"How dare Wang Heng take Elder Xu's life? Not to mention that Elder Xu has worked hard for my Golden Blade Sect over the years. Even my father often mentions Elder Xu's contributions in front of me... This time when I return to the sect, I will tell my father It is said that Elder Baoxu takes the top spot among the sword-guarding elders of Suzaku Pavilion."
Hearing Wang Heng's promise, Xu Mo felt happy. The anxiety in his heart disappeared immediately, and he immediately stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, young master, when I returned to Tongguxuan just now, I sent a secret sentry in the city to keep an eye on where the boy was going in the city. Once we settle down, I’ll set off right now. If anything goes wrong, I’ll report it to you immediately... The envoy’s office..."
"Elder Xu, go and go to the envoy. I will try to meet you." Wang Heng was very satisfied with Xu Mo's performance.
After Xu Mo left, Wang Heng's eyes moved slightly. The shopkeeper behind him immediately understood. He checked inside and outside Tonggu Xuan and was convinced that Xu Mo had left. Then he entered the Xuan, nodded slightly to the young master, and wanted to report. But he saw the young master shaking his head slightly and looking towards the account book on his desk.
The shopkeeper immediately understood the young master's intention, took out a pen and paper, and handed it over respectfully. He saw the young master holding a pen and writing a few words on the paper, with shock in his eyes. He quickly handed it over with a questioning look, and bowed when he saw the young master's affirmative look. He saluted, gently tore off the paper on which the words were written on the account book, walked to the case, took a fire fold, and ignited the paper.
As the paper was ignited, the slightly yellowed paper gradually turned black. The words "Gather people together and move at any time" on the account book paper were gradually engulfed by the flames, and no writing was visible anymore.
The flames gradually brightened and faded, dancing in Wang Heng's eyes. When the paper finally turned into a ball of charred black, he showed a look of relief. Then he glanced at the shopkeeper who came respectfully beside him, looked at it, and motioned for him to take off his outer clothes. Clothes, he walked quickly to the shelf, passed by the antiques on the shelf, and took a look.
Finally, he selected something good, weighed it in his hands, nodded slightly, took off his snow clothes, wrapped up the antiques, put on the shopkeeper's clothes, and left Tongguxuan...

Sun Pianjiang
After passing the order, Gao Deng entered the city. After completing Shan Bin's order, he waited at the city gate and received the order from the soldiers in the mansion. He bluntly said that the general was very happy and had recorded the merits for General Sun. After the military regulations, he would be rewarded according to his merits. Let Sun Pian You can go to the Yunlai Inn in the city to rest first and wait for the military order.
General Sun Pian thanked the soldiers who had sent the order, turned around and walked until the gate of Shan Mansion was out of sight and there was no one around, then he turned back and spoke to Jiang Ningxue and the other two.
"Miss Jiang, Brother Chi, General Shan has an order, and I must obey it. Let's say goodbye for a while. You can go find General Yang first and then discuss it. If there is something urgent, you can go to the city..."
Before Sun Pianjiang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Jiang Ningxue's hand. Under the military helmet, the cold eyes were full of vigilance, looking towards a dark alley beside him.
The city of Yanbei was closed, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. The place where the three people were talking was even more secluded, and there were no pedestrians in Yanbei. However, in the dark alley where Jiang Ningxue looked, there were vague figures floating in the sunlight.
General Sun Pian was also very alert. His palms were already touching the long sword at his waist. He moved his feet slightly and was about to approach. Seeing this, Jiang Ningxue and the others also spread out and guarded the exit of the dark alley.
Just when the three of them were about to go into the dark alley to find out what was going on, a familiar voice came from the alley.
"Brother Sun, Miss Jiang, Brother Chi, it's me!"
Hearing this, Sun Pian suddenly lost the guard in his eyes, sheathed the saber in his hand, looked around, and saw no one around, so he joked.
"Brother Yang, I haven't seen you for a few days. If I don't hear from you again, I'm afraid I will have to look for you in the prison in Yanbei City."
Hearing this, the man in the dark alley smiled heartily: "Brother Sun is really laughing at this. Yang was ordered by General Wan to not just sit idly by and ignore matters in Yanbei. The reason for bothering Brother Sun is really..."
"It's just a joke. If Brother Yang said that, it would be really embarrassing for the brothers. I wonder if Brother Yang has found any clues in the past few days." General Sun was worried that the three people staying here would attract the attention of Shanfu's soldiers. , ducked into a dark alley, and then spoke.
Yang Huchen in the dark alley was wearing an ordinary commoner's linen clothes and a broken rain hat, hiding his entire face under it. Hearing Sun Bias's question, he opened the hat and said to Sun Biasian and the three generals: "The matter in Yanbei is not simple. If my guess is correct... then Shan Bin... wants to go against it."
"What! Is there any basis for what Brother Yang said? This... this is a serious crime against the nine clans. I have been under Shan Bin's account for many years and know Shan Bin very well. From my point of view, he is not so courageous." Sun Pianjiang frowned in thought, still unable to believe it.
"Let's not mention the move to seal the city for now. I was just suspicious before, but I heard that Shan Bin's private reform of military regulations was set at the Yunlai Inn in the city, so I disguised myself and went to hide outside the inn to investigate... .It wasn’t until I saw Shan Bin’s master swordsman, dressed in common people’s clothes, lurking around the inn that he quietly retreated..."
