"I'll hold the line, uh, as ordered!"
Tianming put down the broken broom, rolled his dark eyes a few times, and nodded.
The next day, it started to rain lightly again, drop by drop, like round pearls, and like smooth broken jade, scattered and intermittent.
Chu Feng, who was bored in Afang Palace, decided to go out for a walk. Attracting auspicious clouds, he went straight into the clouds. Listening to the whistling wind in his ears, Chu Feng looked down inadvertently. The boundless plain was flat and vast, like a huge dark green emerald disk. The vastness is vast and breathtaking.
At some point, the rain intensified, and the falling rain was like a hazy smoke, covering the Wei River plain that stretched for hundreds of miles.
Chu Feng, who was so relaxed and happy, involuntarily lowered his height, and quickly arrived at a grove of budding trees outside Xianyang City, with several farmhouses nestled among them; the farmland was green in the beginning, and the streets were crisscrossed, and the people who were about to enter the city and the Tuoqiu came. The animals' mules and horses marched toward the city gate along the clean and tidy galloping road.
Chu Feng used the shape-shifting technique to change his appearance, and entered the bustling Xianyang City with the crowd. There are scattered houses and ancient willows in the city. From time to time, the sound of people drinking wine can be heard from the wine shops near the river.
Chu Feng stopped and walked around this ancient giant city for several hours.
Near noon, when the rain stopped, people on the street ran towards the downtown entrance like crazy.
Chu Feng, who was curious, stopped a panicked Confucian scholar in his twenties on the street.
"What's happening ahead?"
The Confucian scholar who was stopped was tall and muscular. Seeing a thin man blocking his way, he was a little annoyed. He stretched out his big hand like a leaf fan and pushed Chu Feng's chest.
The next breath, he was stunned. Chu Feng gave him the feeling like a city wall.
"Well, a minister is going to be cut in half. I'm going to go watch."
The Confucian scholar's face became as cheerful as turning over a book.
"I see"
Chu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly. As a modern person, he had never seen a waist cut before, so he was curious and wanted to take a look.
"If nothing happens, I'll take the first step."
The Confucian scholar cupped his hands and ran quickly with the crowd.
Chu Feng's figure flickered, passing through more than a dozen streets at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people, and appeared at the entrance to the downtown area. He saw a man with disheveled hair and an unclear face kneeling on a wooden platform in the middle of the road.
Behind the desk, the supervisor with three strands of beard looked up at the sun in the sky with half-closed eyes.
Several rows of majestic and powerful armored soldiers, holding spears and looking serious, surrounded the wooden platform.
Two executioners, sharpening their knives. The unpleasant and harsh sound made the people watching around both excited and heartbroken.
"What is the origin of this person?"
"I heard that serving in the inner court is a big official position."
"It seems that he came from Qi Di, and was entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty as soon as he arrived. The future was originally bright, but he didn't want to encounter sudden changes. Misfortunes are where blessings depend, and misfortunes are where misfortune lies. Things in the world are unpredictable."
"I heard that he was promoted to the top by a noble man, but that noble man didn't save him for some reason!"
"Who dares to save the emperor if he offends him!"
………………

The more Chu Feng listened, the more suspicious he became. Could it be the same person from before?
"The time has come, kill"
On the wooden platform, the supervisor shouted loudly and dropped a command talisman.
Two armored soldiers who looked like wolves and tigers came to the stage, pushed the person who was about to be executed to the ground, and peeled off the straight skirt.
"I want to lead the yellow dog again with my friend, and we will go out of the east gate of Ximen to chase the cunning rabbit. How can we get it?"
The beheaded man struggled to get up, looked at the sky, and shouted with sadness on his face.
The people around him showed sympathetic expressions. It is said that a person is about to die, and it is self-evident. This noble man who had a promising future the day before was offended and killed in half in a busy city. Speaking of it, he is not as good as the ordinary people like them.
The supervisor behind the execution was so angry that he stood up, pointed at the executioner and shouted.
"If you don't kill me now, then how can you wait?"
"Novelist, Ying Yang"
Chu Feng suddenly recognized the man in the crowd. He hadn't seen him for many days. How did the novelist he recommended end up in this situation? In order to find out the truth, Chu Feng flicked his sleeves and whipped up a gust of wind.
Everyone present, whether they were the people watching or the armored soldiers guarding, closed their eyes. Amidst the whistling wind, they could only feel the pain from the gravel hitting their faces and hands.
Ten breaths later, the strong wind suddenly stopped.
"The prisoner is missing"
Someone exclaimed.
Everyone present looked towards the stage, and there were only two armored soldiers and two executioners, standing at a loss.
"Did it get blown away by the wind?"
"possible"
"No, I think he took advantage of the chaos and escaped."

After the case, the supervisor sat down on the ground, his eyes dull.
"It's over, it's over..."
Near Xianyang Palace, in a remote place, Chu Feng placed Ying Yang on the ground.
"What crime have you committed? Should you be cut in half?"
The disheveled Ying Yang didn't recognize the Chu Feng who had changed his appearance. He was stunned and said with a sad look on his face.
"A few days ago, I was recommended by the Immortal Chief who lives in Afang Palace and was appointed as General Zuo Zhonglang by Your Majesty. I was also rewarded and my life was stable. Unexpectedly, disaster fell from the sky. Your Majesty's two princesses learned that I am a novelist, so I sent someone to ask for my manuscript. The two princesses read books very quickly. They finished reading my manuscript in a few days and wanted me to continue writing. I have always been slow to write books. The two princesses often wrote letters to urge me. , many times, I was discovered by the Zhongche Mansion Order and informed His Majesty. Your Majesty was furious and sentenced me to beheading for having secret relations with the harem."
After hearing this, Chu Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It turned out to be this.
"Ying Yang, this is also your fault. Please write faster. How come the two princesses keep writing to urge you."
"I'm sorry, it's okay if you don't tell me."
Ying Yang lowered his head dejectedly.
Chu Feng pondered for a while, bent down, gathered his energy, and wrote a few words on Ying Yang's hand.
"Go to see Ying Zheng and tell him that the Immortal of Afang Palace will intercede for you."
Ying Yang looked at the shining golden words on his hand with a look of ecstasy.
"You are the immortal, thank you very much."
"Do what you want"
Chu Feng's figure disappeared, and his voice floated in the air.
Ying Yang stood up and walked towards the palace entrance with excitement on his face.

A few days later, the sky was clear and the sun was shining. In a certain inconspicuous palace, Chu Feng refined the Thousand-year-old Herb Return Pill for the second time. In the eyes of the world, the extremely precious pill was just a waste of time here. Ordinary things made.
Dozens of thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, thousand-year-old ginseng, and thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum exuding spiritual energy were sent into the Small Bagua furnace by Chu Feng. As the fire burned in the furnace, the interior of the hall was reflected in a yellow color.
Suddenly, two strange smells far beyond ordinary people appeared outside Afang Palace.
"finally come!"
Chu Feng's eyes opened, revealing a frightening light.
