Chapter 54 The Timely Decree

With their familiarity with Quanzhou Prefecture City, Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan were able to barely leave Hu Xiaolin and his group behind, but they were unable to get rid of it.

Even because of Zhu Jinxuan, Bai Shier still needed to stop from time to time to help Zhu Jinxuan cover up, so as not to be caught by Hu Xiaolin and his group.

This also made Zhu Jinxuan hate in her heart for the second time why she was so poor in martial arts, and made up her mind to get rid of Hu Xiaolin and her group and be safe again, she would work hard to learn light skills from Bai Shier. When she encounters such a situation in the future, she would not drag Bai Shier down.

However, as time passed by minute by minute, she couldn't help but feel more and more anxious, and began to worry that she might never have the chance to learn light skills from Bai Shier to make up for her shortcomings.

Because of her "dragging bottle", Bai Shier could not get rid of the big guards who were chasing her behind her. As time passed, Bai Shier's energy inevitably began to decline.

Moreover, it rained all night long.

Because the Jinyiwei Xiaoqi went to the East Factory to ask about this matter, the East Factory also indirectly learned that Zhu Jinxuan was hiding from the tracking of the big guards in the city. The East Factory players who were eager to make contributions to relieve the pressure on themselves naturally would not miss such an excellent opportunity to make contributions.

Therefore, as time passed, Zhu Jinxuan found in despair that more and more people came to pursue her. Bai Shier, who was already in poor energy, was increasingly unable to do so when facing these suddenly extra Dongchang men and the joint pursuit of the big guards who had support and were greatly boosted.

...

Finally, when Bai Shier, who was determined, arrived at the city gate with Zhu Jinxuan and planned to escape from the city directly, he was stopped and immediately surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.

The journey of escape between him and Zhu Jinxuan seemed to have come to an end, and the only thing left was to surrender.

Although Bai Shier was out of breath because he had been running for too long, he still had no idea of ​​giving up. Even though the Dongchang Fanzi and the Dawei guards seemed to have blocked all the roads, it seemed that there was no chance to escape.

But Zhu Jinxuan seemed to be unable to hold on in her heart.

At this moment, she never hated her identity as much as she is now. She inexplicably thought of the girl named Yi Qianqian she met in Baoding Mansion when she was disguised as a man, and inexplicably envied the other party.

Although she is just a businessman who is looked down upon, and although she cannot escape the orders of her parents and the words of the matchmaker, she can still use the reasons she doesn't like to reject her parents' orders.

"Baiqi official, you have no way to escape now. Come back to the capital and report to His Majesty,"

While Zhu Jinxuan was still recalling and enviing the girl who dared to act in Baoding Mansion, Hu Xiaolin finally spoke slowly again after seeing the two people who had never had the chance to escape.

Since the main task has been completed, he must now start to consider how to deal with the news that had just been chasing him.

First of all, Zhu Jinxuan's identity cannot be exposed. Even if Zhu Jinxuan is controlled now, he can immediately take Zhu Jinxuan back to the capital to report his life. Zhu Jinxuan's identity cannot be exposed, because for the royal family, this is a huge scandal. As long as it is leaked, the censors in the court will definitely be excited like sharks smelling blood. Even those high-ranking and powerful ministers will be dissatisfied.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Hu Xiaolin decided to regard Bai Shier as the target of "accusation", but only regards Zhu Jinxuan as an insignificant vassal.

"hehe."

At this time, Bai Shier's behavior was indeed like a fugitive. Facing Hu Xiaolin's "good words of persuasion", he just gave back two disdainful laughter, without any sign of surrender. Instead, he touched the hilt of the sword with his right hand, looking like he was about to trap a beast and still fighting.

Seeing that Bai Shier did not "cooperate", Hu Xiaolin and several of the Dongchang's stalls frowned wildly, and became irritable and restless.

They were not worried about Bai Shier, nor were they worried that so many people would not be able to subdue Bai Shier. They were just worried that if the situation really became uncontrollable, it would implicate Zhu Jinxuan on the side.

After all, there is no eyebrow in the sword. If Zhu Jinxuan is unfortunately injured in the process of subduing Bai Shier, even if it is just a small insignificant wound, they are afraid that they will not be able to bear the consequences. At least the unlucky person who unfortunately misses Zhu Jinxuan's life will not be saved.

And the big guards and the Dongchang men who all understand this will obviously become restrained.

The situation continued for a moment.

However, when he saw the arrival of the official officer from Quanzhou Prefecture Office from afar, Hu Xiaolin and several Dongchang men knew in his heart that they could not wait like this.

After all, if the other party is really just a small flag official who has committed a serious crime, they don’t need to be so cautious. If they don’t take action, it will inevitably attract the suspicion of the officials in the city.

For these civil officials who have been squeezing through the single-plank bridge for many years and have been suppressing other forces for many years, no one dared to underestimate them, whether it was Hu Xiaolin or the Dongchang Chamber.

In their hearts, each of those civil servants is a human spirit.

"Da da da da!"

Just as Hu Xiaolin and several Dongchang Chairmen were about to bite the bullet and order to take action, Bai Shier saw their intentions and had already grasped the hilt of the sword in his hand and was ready to draw the sword in his hand at any time, a rapid sound of horse hooves interrupted the tense and extremely nervous atmosphere between them.

The fast horse that came was an expedited.

Hu Xiaolin, the large guard in the permanent palace, immediately heard the meaning of the sound of horse hooves.

When he saw the fast horse entering the city and the flag on the knight's back, Hu Xiaolin and the East Factory Chairmen immediately recognized it. This was a 200-mile express delivery of the fast horse.

However, this fast horse also caused great trouble to Hu Xiaolin and the East Factory stalls present.

According to the law, no one can stop a message like this, otherwise it would be a serious sin.

But in order not to let Bai Shier, the master of light skills who is best at "escape", escape, their great guards and Dongchang men had already blocked the city gate tightly, and it seemed that they could not pass after entering the city gate.

But if they gave up the space leading to the city gate to avoid sending the message from this fast horse, it is difficult to guarantee that Bai Shier would not seize the opportunity and take the opportunity to escape from the city along this gap.

It took nearly half an hour for so many of them to block Bai Shier in a city with limited space. If Bai Shier is really unfortunately slipped out of the city, wouldn’t it be that the sky is high and the birds fly, and the sea is wide and the fish leaps, which suddenly increases the difficulty for them to catch Bai Shier.

However, just when Hu Xiaolin and several stalls of the East Factory were still struggling, the knights who entered the city did not shout loudly as usual to let them go out of the way. Instead, they quickly strangled the horse under their crotch, turned over and dismounted, and rushed to Hu Xiaolin's direction.

"Hutongzhi!"

The knight who sent the message ran straight to Hu Xiaolin, with a little excited face.

"Your Majesty's decree."

Hu Xiaolin, who was already shocked by the other party's recognition, was shocked when he heard the other party's next four words, and then immediately reacted, knelt on one knee, took the same cautious expression on his face, and presented the decree representing the emperor's will with both hands.

The knight completed the mission, breathed a sigh of relief and led his horse out of the city slowly. He wanted to go into the city to have a good rest, but Hu Xiaolin and the Dongchang men blocked the road. Obviously, there was something important, and he didn't want to get involved.

Moreover, since there are so many gates in Quanzhou Prefecture City, he can only change another gate to enter the city.

Without mentioning the knight who left "knowingly" with "talking", Hu Xiaolin, who respectfully received the order, did not dare to be negligent at all. He immediately opened it and looked at it. The several Dongchang stations standing beside him immediately took the initiative to act as guards of Hu Xiaolin to prevent anyone from getting close to Bai Shier. As for themselves, they didn't even dare to slant their eyes.

Hu Xiaolin read the emperor's edict sent by two hundred miles in a glance, and the expression on his face suddenly became very exciting. After reading it, he looked like he couldn't believe it, and read it word by word from beginning to end.

After watching, Hu Xiaolin's eyes turned to Bai Shier and Zhu Jinxuan who were surrounded, with a complicated expression.

Zhu Jinxuan, who was originally worried that his royal brother's urgent edict was to urge Hu Xiaolin to capture him back to the capital as soon as possible, saw Hu Xiaolin's expression and actions after reading the edict, a burst of hope rose in his heart.

Could it be that the letter sent to the capital through Hu Xiaolin has worked?

Zhu Jinxuan couldn't help but feel pounding, and such an idea came up uncontrollably.

"Brother Bai, you are so lucky."

After Hu Xiaolin sighed, with a little unwillingness, a little relieved and relaxed, Zhu Jinxuan could already confirm in her heart that the letter had really worked.

"Ha, my luck has always been very good."

Bai Shier obviously thought of it too. Faced with Hu Xiaolin's sigh, he let go of his hand holding the hilt of the sword, and the solemnity on his face also changed into Hu Xiaolin's very familiar smile.

But at this moment, this smile seemed so dazzling in Hu Xiaolin's eyes that he wanted to order Bai Shier to be arrested immediately.

But after all, I can only think about it in my heart. If the emperor has issued an edict, if he orders Bai Shier to arrest him again, he will be disobeying the emperor.

"It's apart."

Hu Xiaolin looked at his subordinates and several Dongchang Chairmen with confusion. He didn't know how to explain, so he could only wave his hand weakly and give orders, and at the same time handed the decree in his hand to several Dongchang Chairmen.

...

When the crisis in Quanzhou Prefecture City was resolved by a rushing message from one rider and two hundred miles away, Mu Yixing, who was not too far from Quanzhou Prefecture City, finally settled down again after several days of turmoil and began to reorganize the framework and restore the normal operation of the entire organization, was furious at this time.

The reason why Mu Yixing, who was still ambushed not far away to admire the ugly appearance of the Jinyiwei was so angry that he was naturally the only reason why he had accumulated for several years but was "taken by the Jinyiwei" and was organizing people to send him to Yingtian.

"Incompetent! Waste!"

Zhao Da and Wang Qing, who returned to Mu Yixing's side alive to report to him, were much luckier than Chen Xing and Guo Can, but they could not escape Mu Yixing's scolding or even kicking in anger.

But this is because before returning, the two of them discussed and finally agreed to the same report, and did not report truthfully.

If they really reported the truth, they knew that so many of them would be stopped by seven people, and even killed by the other party, two generals Chen Xing and Guo Can and six subordinates, I am afraid that Mu Yixing would directly cut them down, so as not to feel that the incompetent people were too annoying in front of them.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that everyone who came back alive reached a consensus in their hearts that they would always bury everything that happened that night in their hearts and never reveal a single thing.

However, although he concealed the truth and pushed the reason for his failure to the ambush of the Jinyiwei, which caused heavy losses, Zhao Da and Wang Qing still did not forget to report to Mu Yixing the situation of Peng Zhenlei and the four others and Bai Shier.

After all, they had already escaped before the Jinyiwei led by Zheng Yixiang arrived, and there was really no other information to report...

After venting just now, Mu Yixing's anger had dissipated a lot. After hearing the report from Zhao Da and Wang Qing, the remaining anger on his face quickly disappeared, and the only thing left was solemnity.

Mu Yixing is quite familiar with these heavy generals under his command, so when he heard that Bai Shier was able to kill Guo Can with one sword, Guo Can couldn't even react when he reacted. Hearing Zhao Da and Wang Qing's description of Bai Shier as heavy as a mountain but with a formidable momentum, he killed Chen Xing with another sword. Chen Xing could not even escape, so he was cut through his throat by the sword blade and died, and he had already had some guesses in his heart.

With Bai Shier, the swordsman Zhuyu who made Mu Yixing’s extremely solemn heart, Mu Yixing was still unable to think about the other party’s identity when he described what Zhao Da and Wang Qing as Peng Zhenlei who could support them and Chen Xing for a long time under the siege of them and Chen Xing. His head was still full of speculations about Bai Shier’s identity.

However, after hearing Zhao Da and Wang Qing mention the situation of Ye Bi and the Tie brother and sister next, even though he did not focus on thinking about the identities of the four of them, he could still guess their identities very quickly.

"He is the four famous arresters among the six gates!"

At this time, Mu Yixing began to feel that his scolding and kicking at Zhao Da and Wang Qing just now seemed to be too heavy.

After being ambushed by the Jinyiwei, the other party had four masters from the Six Gate, and a swordsman who was a little scared when he heard it, it seemed that it was rare for Zhao Da and Wang Qing to bring most of the people back alive, and he could no longer ask for too much.

However, the Six Gates were actually mixed with the Jinyiwei. Thinking about the news about Dongchang that came from the city before, Mu Yixing's head couldn't help but feel more and more headache.
