Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 440
The early summer wind blows from the mountain to the mountain.It was blown from the east of the city to the south of the city.

On the post road, the prison car finally arrived at the pre-arranged location.

The leader, Xu Tong, who was wearing a bright red brocade robe, raised his hand and looked around with frowned eyebrows. The prison car stopped, except for the sound of wind and insects, the surroundings were quiet.

"I'm about to enter the city, stop and rest for a while."

The prison van parked in the open space next to it, and a team of five to sixty people immediately scattered around, forming an invisible but airtight protective circle.

Lingyun Pavilion hasn't opened meat for a long time, and now there are fewer and fewer pureblood Helian people in the world. This time, he managed to catch one, and he was escorted to Beijing again, so the number of people dispatched was also particularly impressive.

Han Dun hasn't come yet, but he doesn't mind waiting.

One is for the sake of money, and the other is his status as chief assistant.

Although there are not many things that the people of Lingyun Pavilion can ask the chief assistant, but judging from the current situation where they haven't caught a Helian person for a job in a year or two, this yamen might not be established soon.

Once the yamen is withdrawn, they will have to find another way out. In any case, it is necessary to sell the favor of the chief assistant of the dynasty.

So it doesn't really matter if the prison van enters Beijing an hour earlier or an hour later.

"My lord, someone is here."

Apprentice Jiang Zheqing walked up to him and said.

Leaning on the trunk of a tree drinking, he turned his head and glanced at the source of the sound. Sure enough, there was a man riding one from the other side, and he slowed down when he got close to him.

The location where the prison cart stopped was an open space beside the post road, because it was a large mountain base that was collapsed by landslides long ago.

The reason why I didn't choose to meet at the post station was because there were too many people in the post station.

The reason why he didn't choose a place farther away was naturally because court officials were not allowed to leave the capital without authorization. As the chief assistant, Han Dun's goal would be too big once he left the capital.

Therefore, this person immediately entered Lingyun Pavilion's line of sight as soon as he appeared.

"Who?!" Jiang Zhe asked.

The visitor dressed up as a writer, looked at them, didn't speak, just threw a sign over.

Jiang Zhe took it over and saw that there was still a privately sealed note on the sign, so he handed it to Xu Tong again.

It is the brand of Han Fu.

The seal is also the same as the seal brought by the former Hanfu disciples who went south from Panna.

Although it was only a long follower who came, Xu Tong didn't show any expression of surprise.

It was Han Dun who had been actively contacting him about this matter. He believed that no one but his people would know the secret of their meeting.

Because the secret leaked out, it would never be Lingyun Pavilion, let alone Xu Tong.

So now that he had this sign and paper, he lazily raised his eyes: "Where is your master?"

The visitor said with a smile: "Our master is right behind, it's just that Mr. Xu has a lot of subordinates, and there are too many people talking, so it's unavoidable to cause trouble.

"Master doesn't want to show up in front of so many people, so please tell the guards to leave a hundred paces for our master to speak."

A hundred paces away?

Xu Tong frowned.

Although it was said that the encirclement with more than fifty elite guards at a distance of one hundred paces was unlikely to be robbed, Han Dun's cautiousness still exceeded his expectations.He thought that for a few words, he and Jiang Zhe were watching here, so there was no need to go through so much trouble.

"Our master's status is very different, and the current situation is on the cusp, I hope you will understand." The visitor took out a roll of paper and threw it over, and smiled again.

Xu Tong took it in his hand, and when he saw it, it was indeed a banknote.

It's just a matter of giving way...

Money is a trifle, but favors matter.

He turned a few turns in his mind and winked at Jiang Zhe.

Jiang Zhe immediately raised his voice: "Everyone backs up a hundred steps!"

Dozens of black shadows retreated in an instant, forming a circle a hundred steps away.

Immediately, the people blew a short whistle, and saw three horses and a small carriage, all dressed in night clothes, coming to the prison car on the road coming from the direction of the city gate.

Two people also got off the carriage, now there are five in total.

Jiang Zhe's body was a little tense, and he glanced at Xu Tong: "Master!"

Xu Tong's sharp eyes were like eagles, he looked at those people for a while, then weighed the signboard of the Han Mansion and said: "There is this one, don't worry."

Not to mention that the five of them alone would never be able to rob the prisoner, even if they really came to rob the prisoner, with the sign in his hand, Han Dun would be able to stop the sky from falling.

Jiang Zhe thought about it secretly, and felt relieved.

Looking forward, those people had already reached the sides of the prison car.

The person in the prison car had already been awakened long ago. His eyes were full of unreal emotions under the shaggy hair. His hands and feet were curled up in front of his chest. His facial features could not be seen clearly under the moonlight, but his face was tense. But it is obvious.

"who are you?"

With a hoarse voice, he looked at the two tall and short standing in front of him in turn, and finally chose the eyes of the short one to settle down.

Shen Xi looked back at him, feeling unclear in his heart.

Turning his head to look at Xiao Huai, Xiao Huai calmly took out his long sword and stabbed at the prison car with lightning speed!
With a muffled groan, the long sword was retracted again, the prison car went through a slight jolt, and then calmed down, a silk handkerchief reached in in time to wipe his wrist that had been hit by the sword.

Su Yan turned on the fire folder in time, and saw blood as bright as fire appeared on the snow-white silk handkerchief in his hand!
A sharp pain flashed through Shen Xi's heart, and he said in a deep voice, "What's your last name?!"

"You still don't know my last name?" The man in the prison car bared his teeth and smiled, with a chill on his lips.In an instant, he suppressed his smile and said, "Zhou!"

"Zhou?...Is it a descendant of Guangping Hou Zhouxu? Or a descendant of the Zhou family of the Xinyang family?"

"Guangping Hou Zhouxu is my grandfather. How do you know the name of my ancestor?!" The prisoner's voice was a little tight.

But more doubts: "Are you a woman?"

Then he crawled over on the ground, holding the cage with both hands: "I am Zhou Qian, the seventh young master of the Hou Mansion, who are you?!"

Shen Xi pursed his lips and said in a deep voice, "You don't need to know who I am!"

The light in his eyes went out instantly, and he became quiet.

"You should know why you were escorted to the capital instead of being killed on the spot?" Shen Xi asked again.

"So, you sent the person who was looking for me in Yunnan before?" His eyes lingered on her covered face again, and his eyes became unfathomable.

"You said you would let me live if I did."

Shen Xi's eyes darkened.

At this time, the only ones who would naively hold the hope of survival could only be those playboys in fresh clothes and angry horses who are still nostalgic for the wealth and power they once had.
But having said that, who wouldn't look forward to life when they were in a desperate situation?

Survival is nothing more than human instinct.

She nodded and said, "Yes. As long as you do what I say, you will be fine. However, what was said before has changed now. "
