The man held the baby in his arms and walked out from the crowd of common people. He ignored Gao Deng, who had ordered the patrol to capture the young man, and went straight to King Ning Qitao.
"Stop!" When all the soldiers saw the man's actions, they were worried that the man would take the opportunity to assassinate him, so they shouted to stop him. Even the second general of the Fu family looked solemn, holding his saber tightly, protecting His Royal Highness Prince Ning behind him, and locked eyes with the man. .
Qi Tao was thinking hard about how to excuse the young man. If he came forward, the matter of the noble prince being captured by the bandits would be made public. He could lose his face, but the court's face could not be lost. But what would he do if he did not come forward? Excuse the young man.
At this time, after hearing the words of the just man, his eyes flashed with brilliance, he stretched out his hand to stop Fukang and Furui, and then said to the soldiers: "Protect the people, and listen to the voices of the people. This is the way to be an official. I know that you are all worried about my safety, Qi Tao, but don’t forget that the people of the world are the foundation of the imperial court..."
As he said this, Qi Tao walked up to the man holding the baby in his arms. All the soldiers were also the sons of the common people. At this time, they heard that the dignified prince treated the people so kindly, and they couldn't help but admire His Highness Prince Ning from the bottom of their hearts. They all came to Qi Tao's heart. Get out of the way.
"I heard you stop the patrolling troops from arresting people. Why?" Prince Ning walked up to the man, looked at the sleeping baby in his arms, and asked softly.
The man heard King Ning's words of love for the people just now and saw his soft voice, as if he was worried about disturbing the baby in his arms. He was grateful and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and then respectfully replied: "Your Highness Mingjian, he... this The young man is not a thief, I...I know him, he was the one who saved me and my child from those thieves!"
This man was the father and son who Gu Xiao saved from the dead men of Jindaomen during the massacre in the small courtyard before rushing to Yunlai Inn. The man thought he was an "immortal" from heaven who came down to earth to save people, but when he saw the cloak of a young man in the distance, When he picked up the green shirt and sword box, he was already convinced that he was the savior, so he plucked up the courage to interrupt the fat general and order his arrest.
"Oh? Is there such a thing? So General Gao has misunderstood? But you can't convince everyone with your words..." Qi Tao was already overjoyed, and it was inconvenient for him to disobey his father's order, but If the people's words are what they say, they can definitely help the young man get out of trouble, and he can justifiably excuse the young man on the pretext that he cannot chill the people's hearts.
However, Qi Tao was worried that he would not be able to convince the crowd, so he showed some hesitation...
Prince Ning's expression naturally fell into the eyes of all the people, as if his memory was awakened by this man. The people who had been saved by the young man before looked at the young man's figure carefully, and finally recognized their savior.
One person, two people... Gradually, dozens of people knelt down beside the man holding the baby, and said in unison: "Your Highness, please enlighten me!"
Seeing the people asking for help, Qi Tao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly leaned over to help the man holding the baby in his arms, and comforted him: "Don't worry, everyone, since there are so many witnesses, I will investigate the matter thoroughly and will not let him be wronged." of."
When the common people saw that the prince was so kind, they all kowtowed in submission. Qi Tao turned his eyes slightly and looked at Gao Deng...
The famous idiot general in Yanbei City has also been in trouble. The Holy Order cannot be violated. However, His Highness Prince Ning’s intention to protect this young man has become clear. At this moment, the public opinion of the people can no longer be violated. Is it possible that he has to watch the young man grow up? Yanbei couldn't escape.
Thinking of the emperor's order, Gordon gritted his teeth and thought hard about how to keep this young man under such circumstances. A flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he immediately made up his mind. He put on a smile and said: "Your Highness is wise, and the people's will is determined. We cannot let the young knight who has made great contributions to the people of Yanbei suffer injustice."
Seeing Gao Deng's smile, Qi Tao felt a little cold in his heart. He was about to speak, but Gao Deng changed the topic and spoke to the young man who was surrounded by a group of patrolling soldiers: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning has an order to avoid an unjust case. We need to thoroughly investigate your Tongjin case, so put down your weapons."
Gu Xiao had already seen the people asking for their lives for him, and his heart was full of warmth. There was a dimple on the corners of his lips. However, after hearing Gao Deng's words, the smile on his lips became wider, but there was a different meaning in this smile. .
"Gao Dengguo is very thoughtful. When he saw me taking Yu Lie and General Sun as hostages, he knew that I would not be captured without mercy, and he also knew that I would not stay in the city to wash away the slander of Tongjin..." Gu Xiao's heart As he was thinking about it, he saw that the patrol had already received the military order and was approaching him again. .
"Brother Yang still doesn't know his whereabouts. We can't waste any more time to find out. We can only break in according to the previous method..." Gu Xiao thought in his heart, and his starry eyes were already looking around, looking for a way out.
"Brother Chixin, can you still hold on?" Gu Xiao determined the escape route and then asked the pipe pot.
Although Yandianguo was injured by Yan Qingchuan's Dragon Palm when he was helping Miss Jiang, he was healed by Gu Xiaozhenqi. The journey was delayed for a while. Most of his internal injuries were healed, and his complexion gradually became rosy. Seeing that the young man was under siege He was still calm and composed, and while he admired the young man in his heart, most of the anxiety in his heart had also subsided.
"Don't worry, little brother Mu, you can get away with me, Chi Xin can still hold on...Brother Mu should also be careful, the young man with fierce palms has never shown up." Yantai Guo glanced around, but he didn't see the man who hurt him. The tiger-eyed young man warned.
Gu Xiao's eyes did not move, he nodded slightly and said: "I will continue to use the two generals Yu and Sun as hostages later. I will delay it for the time being. Brother Chi Xin can just go to the north city as quickly as possible. After leaving the city, just go west. There is an abandoned inn. Miss Jiang will be there to help you and me."
"Although these two are generals in the army, they may not have enough weight. If the tiger-eyed young man attacks you, you may not be able to escape." Yandian Guo said worriedly after hearing the young man just telling him to escape.
When he finished speaking, he saw the stars in the young man's eyes flashing with cunning light, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Chixin, don't worry, Shan Bin, the guard of Yanbei City, is enough."
Slightly startled after hearing this, Yandian Guo finally understood the reason why the young man was so confident, and no longer worried about his escape, he agreed: "Okay, since Brother Mu has a plan, I will act according to your plan and we will meet outside the city. "
Qi Tao didn't know the reason, but he just said that the young man was angry when he saw the Yanbei army repaying kindness with evil, and secretly cursed Gao Deng in his heart. He seized on the loopholes in his words to persuade the people, and wanted to capture the young man. Once the young man entered Yanbei University, Prison, it may not be easy to escape...
Gao Deng had already seen His Highness Prince Ning's expression in his eyes, and was determined to stop Prince Ning from protecting the young man. Before Prince Ning could speak, he already said to the young man holding the hostage: "Your Highness has promised to conduct a thorough investigation. Hurry up." Put down your weapons quickly..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the young man tightening his sword slightly and forcing Sun and Yu to move forward. A threatening voice came into his ears: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning doesn't want to see General Yanbei die under my sword, right? Get out of the way. After I leave, I will let you go... As for my innocence, Your Highness can send people to investigate carefully. If I am really guilty of collaborating with bandits, then the court will not need to send people to arrest me. I will be brought to justice."
Seeing that the young man did not listen to the dissuasion, everyone in the field had different expressions. The soldiers looked at each other, fearing that the young man would die together and really hurt Generals Yu and Sun. Qi Tao and the Fu brothers beside him had an anxious look on their faces. On the other hand, Gao Deng , his small eyes are slightly narrowed, and he doesn't know whether he is happy or angry.
Although Gordon felt a little unbearable in his heart, after all, the young man had saved him from a group of dead soldiers in Mojun Mountain, but a moment later, facing the prosperous age that the Holy One had spoken to him, he still made up his mind and asked the young man He opened his mouth and said, "If you don't drink a toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty. Do you really think that you can get away with these two people as hostages?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand. Seeing Gao Deng's order, the patrolmen did not dare to act rashly and turned their heads to look at Prince Ning and the Fu brothers.
"How could Brother Mu be so confused and resist the imperial troops so openly? Even if the people beg for mercy, it would be difficult to explain if we don't capture him." Qi Tao looked at Gao Deng who looked at him inquiringly, and gritted his teeth to make up his mind.
Furui and Fukang saw the determination in Prince Ning's eyes, and seemed to have guessed His Highness's thoughts. They were about to speak to dissuade him, but Qi Tao raised his hand to stop him. Their eyes moved slightly, and the majesty that was inconsistent with their age was revealed. The two generals He had no choice but to retreat and looked at the young man worriedly.
The soldiers who had received the military order no longer had any scruples, and rushed towards the young man with swords in hand. They saw him sheathing his sword and drawing out his palm, pushing the hostage towards the soldiers, and at the same time shouted lowly to the man beside him.
"Walk!"
All the soldiers were afraid of being attacked by Generals Yu and Sun, so they moved their weapons away one after another. After catching the two men, they discovered that the man who was traveling with the young man had taken advantage of the brief moment of distraction, jumped up to the roof nearby, and used Qinggong to escape. ...
"Old Chen!" Seeing this man trying to run away, Gordon ordered in a deep voice.
Old Chen, who had been hiding behind Gordon, frowned and hesitated.
, deep down in his heart, he did not want to take action against the young man, but before hesitating for a moment, he heard Gordon sternly order: "Old Chen, take this person down!"
At this point, Lao Chen had no choice but to follow the order. He saw his figure flashing and already leaping towards the figure that was leaping away quickly. As he was flying in the air, he heard the sound of exclamation from behind. Looking back, he saw The figure in a green shirt that seemed to blend in with the night came quickly.
Lao Chen, who had been fighting with the young man in Wengcheng for a long time, but had not yet gotten a break, once again faced his old opponent. Previously, Mojun and Wengcheng were both equally matched, and they couldn't help but feel a little fighting spirit.
Just when he was about to sacrifice the nine needles, he saw the moonlight-like sword light again. Different from before, this moonlight came very quickly, so fast that Lao Chen couldn't help but feel in a trance. Previously, there was no difference between Mojun and Wengcheng. The moonlight sword under the sky is like the light tearing apart the long night, coming in a blink of an eye...
The moonlight is cold, the sword is entangled with light, it is extremely difficult to make a move...
Lao Chen, who had not yet had time to make a move, flew past with the green-shirted sword in front of everyone, and fell from the air like a sparrow struck by the claws of a foraging eagle. Fortunately, there were many patrolling soldiers below, and everyone Stretch your arms into a net to catch him.
I don't blame Lao Chen. He had been fighting in Wengcheng for a long time, thinking that the young man was just like him and had never adjusted his breath. How could he have expected that the young man had already learned outside the city that the masters of heaven could help each other with their inner strength. In comparison, one was weak and the other was weak. Sheng, one move and defeat has already been a foregone conclusion.
Lao Chen, who was caught by the generals, looked down and saw that although his chest was cut by the moonlight and he was bleeding profusely, his life was not in danger. He immediately understood that the young man just wanted to scare him away, if he wanted to take it. One sword strike was enough for his own life, but he was merciless...
Looking at the young man who had defeated him and turned around with his sword, standing on the tiles of a house, with a stern look in his starry eyes, not caring about Yan Bei or the patrol army at all, he thought of all the previous events, this young man who once had the power of nine The world-famous master of acupuncture finally "passed out" with a tilt of his head. Perhaps this method is the only way to have both.
Everyone below, both the soldiers and the people, were dumbfounded. When Lao Chen performed Qinggong, the people were still worried about their savior. But when they saw that his sword was like an immortal, they were surprised and relieved. The soldiers were struck by the young man's sword. Shocked, they all stopped and surrounded the house, but no one dared to step forward.
Mo Ti, who had never spoken in the distance, and who was standing behind Qi Tao, finally returned the long sword from his waist to its sheath. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his sharp gaze on Qi Tao, the King of Ning, softened a little. .
But before he could slow down for a moment, he heard His Highness with his back turned to speak softly: "It seems that if the young man just now had not retreated from the enemy, you would have drawn your sword and held me hostage. How dare you dare to attack the majestic prince?" Swords facing each other?"
Moti was shocked and secretly thought that although Prince Ning was young, nothing could escape his eyes, but Moti was not afraid and only said in a deep voice: "People from Mo County must repay their kindness!"
