Chapter Sixteen

Is it really a dead end?

In the Ministry of War guesthouse, Xu Yan sat on the steps, staring at the ground in a daze, motionless, like a sculpture.

Uncle Wu knew that he was thinking about things, waved his hand to drive away the others, and worries appeared on his face.

This kind of scene is not unfamiliar with it, he has seen it twice.

Once, they were surrounded on the snowy grassland, with no way to survive and pursuers behind. At that time, everyone was ready to fight to the death, but Xu Yan pointed to the snow-capped mountains and found a way to survive for them.

The second time was in the Xiongnu royal court. The night before the attack plan, Hu Zi and his team went to ambush while the night was dark, and Xu Yan sat in the tent until dawn.

I thought I could feel at ease when I returned to the court and no longer had to fight to the death, but who knew it was far from enough!

Killing Han Yuanhong on the same day laid a disaster for this matter. The situation between them and Duke Xin Guo was in a life and death situation, and there was no possibility of reconciliation.

Now that Captain Pang has been arrested, he is about to be convicted, and everyone is helpless and has no choice.

They once again reached the end of their journey. Faced with such a high-ranking and powerful person, and a royal relative, can they still survive?

Uncle Wu doesn't know.

He sat down until night, and just as Uncle Wu hesitated whether to wake him up, Xu Yan suddenly stood up.

Because he sat for too long, his legs were numb and his blood was surging, his body shook and he almost fell to the ground.

"General!"

Uncle Wu was shocked and hurriedly supported him. Xu Yan waved his hand: "I'm fine!"

He raised his head and took a deep breath. He had already made a decision in his heart: "Uncle Wu, go and call everyone, I have something to say!"

"yes!"

Soon everyone arrived. Xu Yan looked at them and said in a deep voice: "The next thing is very dangerous. I don't want to implicate you. I killed Han Yuanhong and my second brother and Hu Zi did it. It has nothing to do with you, so I want to quit. Let's leave now. I don't blame you!"

"What do the general say? You saved our lives. If you hadn't, you would have died on the grassland long ago. No matter what you want to do, we will follow you, and we will be the only one to say!"

"Brother Hu Zi is the general's brother and our brother. We all know that Jia Fu's dog thief framed Brother Hu Zi. If Dali Temple dares to sentence him, we will go to rob the prison, afraid that he will be a bird?"

"That's right, at worst, you won't be a soldier!"

"Don't fuck him!"

...

Everyone said something and said something, and the crowd was excited.

Xu Yan waved his hand: "It's not that step yet!"

After everyone calmed down, he said, "I thought about it for a long time and found that although this matter seemed troublesome, the root of it was very simple, that is, Han Bingye, Duke of Xinguo!"

"He wants to avenge his son, so he designed to frame Hu Zi. Now that the situation is done, the case cannot be resolved, so we simply can't solve it. Just cut it off with one knife!"

"Watch the snake and hit Qi'inch, and capture the thief first. As long as we settle Han Bingye, Hu Zi and the others will naturally be fine!"

Everyone was stunned and thought.

"The general means..."

Uncle Xing was the first to speak. The scar-faced man, his eyes were shining coldly and he gestured to wipe his neck.

The others were stunned at first, and then they looked cruel.

They are all men who lick blood from the edge of a knife. Are there few people who kill on the grassland? Who is afraid of it?

Xu Yan still shook his head: "Han Bingye cannot move because it involves too much. What I mean is to force him to follow with his interests!"

"This matter is related to Hu Zi and the others' lives. You must be careful and not make any mistakes. Please listen to me and say in detail..."

****

In the following days, Dali Temple continued to investigate the case, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to them.

With sufficient evidence, Pei Fang has determined that it was Pang Hu's actions, even though he still refuses to admit it.

Pei Fang is sorting out the files and preparing to submit them to the Empress Dowager, so there is not much time left for Xu Yan and the others!

———

Yankangfang.

As a city yard near the West City, many merchants live here, and many industries related to it have also been produced.

The most famous one is the escort agency. Among the six major escort agencies in Chang'an City, three are located in Yankangfang, which escorts the caravans in and out every day, which is very lively.

On Pozi Street, the first courtyard is the headquarters of the Weiwu Escort Agency.

The wooden door is half open, with two flags inserted in front of the door, with two big words "Magic" written on it.

Looking through the door, a group of young men were punching in the yard. They were neatly arranged, naked, revealing their strong bodies, accompanied by waves of shouting, and their fists were like dragons, full of power.

The Weiwu Escort Agency has a total of 86 escort officers. Although it is not as numerous as the Six Escort Agency, it is also of medium size in Chang'an City. In addition, the escort leader He Lei is a heroic person, has made extensive friends, and his business is stable.

It was the day to settle the month at the end of the month again. The accountant summarized all the accounts and handed them to He Lei: "The boss, this is the profit this month, which is 20% less than last month!"

“Why?”

He Lei didn't recognize much, so he glanced at the account book and put it down.

"The main reason is that there are two accounts that have not been recovered. One is the Deng family, a cargo merchant in the east of the city. He agreed to settle the money at the beginning of the month, but it has not been heard until now. The other is the Chen family in the south of the city. Their family knows the situation..."

He Lei nodded: "Even if the Chen family is not there, they will collect their skins to the north. When they meet the Huns, they are all dead, leaving only the orphans and widows. It is not easy for us to come. As for the Deng family, I will ask, Boss Deng will not owe us this little money!"

“It should be so!”

After talking about some accounts, He Lei got up and walked out of the room. When he saw the escort practicing boxing in the yard, he stood beside him and looked.

"Doeed!"

"Practice well and use some energy!"

"yes!"

Those who do escorts are just doing business with their lives and protecting the caravan and traveling thousands of miles, and they will inevitably encounter danger.

Just like last time they escorted Boss Huang and were blocked by a group of bandits, if they hadn't met the elite border army by chance, they would have been corpsed in the wilderness long ago.

Therefore, martial arts is the foundation of one's life, and you must not slack off at all!

Boss Deng is a silk dealer and opened a shop in Xishi City. He Lei went out of the escort agency and walked directly to Xishi City.

But before he could get to the place, he was stopped by a carriage. A young man jumped out of the car and bowed to him with a smile: "Brother He, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"

"Ah...Brother Xu!"

The person coming was Xu Yan, followed by Uncle Xing and the other two.

He Lei looked surprised and hurriedly returned the gift: "Where are you going?"

"I was about to go to the escort agency to find Brother He. I want to ask for help if I have something!"

He Lei was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Brother Xu just said it directly, and he will never refuse anything He can do!"

"Then I will thank Brother He first!"

Xu Yan smiled and said, "Actually it is not difficult. Not long ago, the Ministry of War transferred us to the Zuowei Guard to serve, which was considered stable in Chang'an. However, there were some things brought from Beimo that were not convenient to bring into the military camp, so we wanted to find a place to store them. We were not familiar with Chang'an. The only person we knew was Brother He. I thought that your escort agency should have some warehouses and other places, so I wanted to borrow them temporarily. When we settled it, we would return it. Of course, the rent would not be short!"

"Hi, I thought it was something, it's simple!"

He Lei waved his hand and smiled: "Brother Xu is a life-saving grace for me. Don't mention the rent again, otherwise wouldn't it be a slap in the face? There are many vacant warehouses in the escort agency, ranging in size. What are Brother Xu's requirements?"
