"What?"
Su Xian's expression changed slightly, and he naturally knew that they were talking about the heroic and burly man opposite, that was Zhang Huaiyi! The queen’s most handsome face!
Zhang Huaiyi!
Unexpectedly, I didn't expect that I had just arrived at the city of Shendu, and before I even had time to enter the city, I met one of the targets of this trip!
Su Xian frowned slightly and thought to himself: "It's impossible for things to happen by such a coincidence. Zhang Huaiyi stopped him in front of the city gate. Could it be that... the incident in Huaizhou has been exposed?"
"..."
Although Zhang Huaiyi's righteous son Xue Ba died unjustly in the Huaizhou incident, if there was an argument and Su Xian couldn't find evidence for a while, the other party would have the upper hand and would definitely have the advantage.
This was also the reason why Su Xian sent people to block the entrance and exit of the mountain col before killing Xue Ba.
This kind of thing really shouldn't be spread out.
But I didn't expect that the news would be leaked despite being so cautious.
Su Xian's brows furrowed even more. This incident simply cast a shadow over the trip to the divine capital.
He looked at Zhang Huaiyi on the opposite side and stood still for the time being, thinking quickly about countermeasures in his mind.
Zhang Huaiyi didn't express anything, he just looked at Su Xian silently. Although his eyes were cold, there was also a hint of... vigilance?
This is not right!
Su Xian thought about it and immediately judged that Zhang Huaiyi had not received news about the Huaizhou incident. The reason why he blocked Su Xian and his party in front of the city gate must have another purpose.
Be alert...that's right!
Su Xian suddenly became enlightened, and he understood why Zhang Huaiyi looked at him with a look of caution.
The root cause of everything is the jade mask and brown sugar ginger tea.
Princess Lanling once analyzed this issue with him.
Princess Lanling used Su Xian's jade mask and brown sugar ginger tea to please the queen. The essence was to "compete" with Zhang Huaiyi for favor. Obviously, Li Youqing won this round...
In this way, Su Xian and Zhang Huaiyi looked at each other from a distance.
Their first meeting was actually under such circumstances.
At least on the surface, both sides seemed to be relatively "calm". There was no shouting or fighting, and there was no fight to the death.
However... the men on both sides were still arguing endlessly, going back and forth, quarreling with each other, and no one wanted to back down, so they started a stalemate in front of the city gate.
The gate of Shendu City has a huge flow of people. After a while, a long queue formed behind them.
The people responsible for guarding the city gate were the soldiers under the supervision of the gate guards. When the captain on duty at Dingding Gate saw the crowd in front of the gate, he immediately led a group of about thirty soldiers to surround them and shouted loudly:
"At the feet of the Emperor and in front of the city gate, who dares to cause trouble and block the road?"
"..."
The two sides who were arguing endlessly stopped at the same time and turned to look at the prison guard captain and soldiers who were surrounding them.
At this time, more and more ordinary people gathered in front of the city gate, watching the excitement, pointing and discussing secretly.
A man who looked like a manager in Zhang Huaiyi's mansion greeted the general with a smile, and greeted the prison guard familiarly. When the captain learned that Zhang Huaiyi was here, he hurriedly ran over to greet him and said:
"The last general has met Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Huaiyi nodded indifferently and didn't pay much attention to it. He just continued to look at Su Xian opposite him.
When the steward saw this, he quickly turned around and pointed at Su Xian and said:
"This group of people rammed into Duke Zhang, which made him unhappy. He also asked the general to order that these people be captured and taken back for interrogation! What was the intention of ramming Duke Zhang's carriage?"
As soon as the school captain heard this, he immediately looked over with an evil look. Without thinking much, he waved his hand and ordered: "Come here, catch all these idiots who rammed Zhang's carriage!"
"yes!"
The prison guards and soldiers immediately rushed forward.
Su Xian raised his eyebrows slightly, then relaxed them, still looking at Zhang Huaiyi carefully as before.
The same is true for Zhang Huaiyi. It seems that the behavior of the prison guard has nothing to do with him.
In the carriage, Liu Huixiang was startled when she heard the movement outside the carriage.
The soldiers of the Hou Mansion were immediately filled with righteous indignation. It was clear that the other party had collided with them, and the result... Well, I didn't expect that Lord Hou, who came up with the "Method of Chaos Liao" and rescued the entire Liang Dynasty, would be treated like this when he first entered the capital. .
They were very angry and involuntarily grasped the handle of the knife, preparing to resist this group of rude and unreasonable prison guards. The majesty of Fanyanghou Mansion cannot be desecrated!
"Let's see who dares!"
At this time, a man strode out and stood in front of Su Xian and others. This man was tall and mighty, and his voice was steady and powerful, making people's eardrums hurt, like beating a drum.
That's... Commander Yan?
After the soldiers of the Hou Mansion were slightly stunned, their confidence immediately surged. They knew Commander Yan's capabilities.
The prison guards who rushed forward were so shocked by these words that they stopped subconsciously. Although they were holding long red-tasseled guns in their hands, they did not move forward.
Opposite him, Zhang Huaiyi's expression changed slightly, and he looked sideways at Yan Dashan, who was stepping forward.
The steward's expression was even more startled, and then he became furious.
The captain of the prison guard also had a look of anger on his face. Who is this person? With just one sentence, he stopped his soldiers from moving forward?
Doesn't this mean that he, the captain, is incompetent?
"Where did you come from? Do you know where this place is? Do you know that the person you are facing is Zhang..."
The captain yelled and stepped forward, preparing to arrest the man himself. However, when he got closer, he was stunned and stopped in place with a look of horror on his face.
"General Yan!"
The captain suddenly shouted, with an excited expression on his face, he trotted up to Yan Dashan in three steps and two steps at a time. He took the initiative to lower himself by half, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and said:
"General Yan... you are finally back... I have heard the general's name since I was a child, and I really admire him in my heart. If I can see the general today, I will die without regrets!"
"..."
After the captain was excited for a while, he suddenly looked back at his subordinates, waved his hand and ordered:
"This is General Yan, the mighty Duke newly appointed by the imperial court. Why are you pointing a gun at him? Put it away quickly, put it away!"
The prison guards suddenly realized this, and immediately put away their weapons and shouted in unison: "I have seen General Yan!"
The ordinary people watching by the road also became excited and said loudly: "It is indeed the mighty Duke. The Duke is back... I think back to more than ten years ago, when the Yan family was a loyal family..."
"..."
Yan Dashan was unmoved, and still stood there upright, turning a blind eye to other people's compliments.
The soldiers of the Hou Mansion behind him, who had just learned Yan Dashan's identity at this moment, immediately opened their mouths into an "O" shape, enough to stuff an egg into them.
Opposite him, Zhang Huaiyi looked at Yan Dashan carefully with a look of surprise on his face, his brows slightly furrowed for the first time.
Yan Dashan shook his head, turned around and pointed at Su Xian in front of the carriage, and said loudly: "I am not the mighty Duke now, I am just the bodyguard of Su Xian, the newly named 'Marquis of Fanyang County' by the imperial court!"
"..."
After the words were spoken, bursts of exclamations broke out among the ordinary people.
At the same time, he turned his attention to Su Xian and said in shock:
"It turns out that this young man is Su Xian. He proposed the 'Method of Chaosing Liao' and saved the entire Liang Dynasty... Oh no, he is now the Marquis of Fanyang County."
"The title of a county prince is much greater than that of a county prince, but why would a county prince... be willing to be the bodyguard of Fanyang County Marquis? From this point of view, Fanyang County Marquis is really not a simple person!"
