Chapter 224 Sleepless

When Xu Han and Ye Hongjian arrived at the entrance of the Tian Ce Mansion, Xu Han finally understood what Su Mu'an was talking about.

Rows of black-armored soldiers stood in front of Tiance Prefecture's mansion. Unlike the city defense camp or the Imperial Army in the capital, the auras of those soldiers were condensed, and their armors seemed to be one. A ferocious bronze wolf head hung on their shoulders.

It was the Greedy Wolf Division of the Long Night Division!

The leader was a man in his early thirties. He had a long sword on his waist and was pacing back and forth in front of the manor. His expression was arrogant, while a few civil servants in official uniforms were arguing with the red-robed officials, as if they were stopping the people who wanted to enter the manor.

The two sides argued until their faces turned red, as if they wanted to fight. Of course, Mr. Lu only closed his eyes and stood aside, not participating. This was somewhat surprising to Su Mu'an. It was mostly because of anxiety in his heart that he said so.

Seeing Xu Han arrive, everyone from the Tian Ce Mansion surrounded him. The leader of the Greedy Wolf Tribe also looked at the young master of the Tian Ce Mansion with interest.

"Mr. Lu, Commander Hou, what's going on?" Xu Han naturally felt the other party's gaze, but he didn't care. Instead, he asked the crowd.

However, before the two of them could speak, the young commander of the Greedy Wolf Tribe took a step forward and said with a smile, "This must be Manor Chief Xu. He is indeed a hero. He is much younger than I imagined."

Hearing this, Xu Han turned to look at the man, his gaze indifferent and did not give him any response.

The man was obviously not expecting Xu Han's attitude. He paused for a moment before saying, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just…"

Halfway through the man's words, he was interrupted by Xu Han.

"Who are you?" Xu Leng asked in a cold voice, and the dissatisfaction in his tone was not concealed at all.

When the black-armored commander heard this, he was stunned. He naturally didn't like Xu Han's attitude, but after all, he followed orders and wouldn't really have any conflicts with him right now. Therefore, he suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said with a smile, "I, Xia Yan…"

"Forget it, it's not important anymore." However, this time, his words were also interrupted by Xu Han just now. Tiance Prefecture's Young Master waved his hand in disappointment. He looked like a child who was still interested in studying ants, but in the blink of an eye, he lost interest.

This caused the black-armored man, who had sat on the throne of the deputy commander of the Night Wolf Guards of the Greed Tribe at a young age, to instantly turn crimson. His chest was filled with anger, but he didn't know how to vent it. His appearance was truly interesting.

"Then let's move aside. We're going back to the manor." However, Xu Han didn't care about this soldier at all. He said unhappily. The gaze he looked at that person was as disgusted and tired as if he had seen a wild dog blocking the way.

" Manor Chief Xu is too domineering!" At this moment, the officials who had been arguing with the red-robed officials blushed, Suddenly, he stepped forward, The leader was around fifty years old, The skinny old man scolded righteously, "We were ordered to investigate the matter regarding the traitor of the Mu Clan, Mu Qingshan. I heard that he disguised himself as a disciple of the Exquisite Pavilion and hid in Tiance Prefecture under the alias of Zhou Zhang. He has quite a good relationship with Manor Chief Xu and the others. Today, only Manor Chief Xu can enter the manor if he can tell us about this matter!"

However, this furious reprimand did not have the effect that the old man wanted.

Xu Han blinked his eyes and asked, "Are you done?"

"Huh?" The old man was stunned. Before he could say anything else, Xu Han's voice sounded again.

"Then step aside."

" Manor Chief Xu, are you trying to resist the imperial edict?" Whether it was those officials or the commander of the Greedy Wolf Division, they had never expected Xu Han's attitude to be so bad. All of a sudden, their expressions changed. The old man scolded loudly, clearly furious to the extreme.

"Hou Ling!" However, Xu Han apparently did not intend for them to continue sighing about this matter. He let out a loud shout and the middle-aged man in the crowd immediately walked out with a halberd in his hand.

At that moment, the aura of the Great Evolution Realm surged out from his body like a tidal wave, enveloping everyone. Everyone immediately felt a burst of unpleasant aura at that moment.

"I'll count to three. At that time, none of the people who are still blocking the entrance of the manor will remain."

A smile appeared on Xu Han's cold face.

In the eyes of the crowd, that appearance was as ferocious and terrifying as a ghost.

"Xu Han? This is the capital. Do you dare to act recklessly?" The commander of the Greedy Wolf Division shouted.

"One." However, Xu Han did not care, and the voice in his mouth that was like a life-threatening talisman came as expected.

"We are officials of the Imperial Court. Do you dare to kill me?" Among the officials, the skinny old man was furious.

"Two." However, Xu Han remained unmoved.

At that time, Hou Ling, who was beside him, also raised the halberd in his hand. Berserk True Essence surged, and a terrifying pressure descended on his face. It looked like it was cutting mountains and cutting rocks.

At that time, fear finally spread to the foreheads of the crowd. The rationality in their hearts naturally kept telling them that Xu Han did not dare to commit murder in Chang'an City, but what if?

It was their own lives that had been sacrificed.

As a result, they were no longer able to maintain their manners as court officials or commanders of the Longevity Division. At that moment, they all retreated towards the surroundings, leaving behind a path leading to the Tian Ce Mansion 's entrance in front of the people of the Tian Ce Mansion.

Seeing this, the smile on Xu Han's face became even more intense.

He swallowed the word "three", then smiled and clapped his hands. He looked at Mr. Lu and the others beside him and said, "Let's go."

After saying that, they brought everyone into the dusty Tiance Prefecture mansion without turning back. From the beginning to the end, they did not cast even the slightest glance at the claws of the Longevity Division.

…

The mansion of the Tian Ce Mansion was truly extraordinarily large.

After all, back then, this was a place that could accommodate 3,000 red-robed officials and 30,000 Tian Ce Mansion Army soldiers.

However, it had been damaged for too long, and many places needed to be taken care of before it could be used again.

After Xu Han and the others entered the mansion, everyone in Tiance Prefecture, including Mr. Lu, looked at the familiar mansion. Their eyes were slightly red. Xu Han naturally could not feel the turbulence in their hearts at this moment, but he could feel the heavy feeling that had settled down from time in this atmosphere.

After a long time, the old Mr. Lu finally regained his senses. He smiled apologetically at Xu Han.

"I can't help but sigh in my heart when I return to the same place. It makes the Prefecture Head laugh." The old man said at that time.

"I understand, sir. There's no need to worry." Xu Han smiled and said in relief.

"What does the Prefecture Master think is the purpose of sending someone to stop us from entering the Prefecture today?" After all, Mr. Lu was very mature, and he quickly recovered from his previous worries. He asked again.

Hearing this, Xu Han's expression turned serious and he pondered for a moment before he said, "With Zhu Xian's shrewdness, he should know that no matter what method we use, these clowns should not be able to stop us. Doing so does not seem to have any effect other than disgusting us. I really do not understand why he did such a useless act."

"However, this reminds me that the other party will definitely make a fuss over the matter of Zhou Zhang tomorrow. We need to be prepared for this."

"Oh, that's true. We can't understand Zhu Xian's thoughts, but it's always right to make more preparations." Mr. Lu nodded at that time, agreeing with Xu Han's view.

"Then it looks like I won't be able to sleep tonight." Hearing this, Xu Han turned to look at the dusty Tiance Prefecture and smiled.

"Indeed." Mr. Lu nodded and began to arrange for people to clean up the Tian Ce Mansion. On the other side, he led the red-robed officials to discuss the matter of the Tomorrow's Face Saint with Xu Han.

…

Indeed, as Xu Han had said, this night was destined to be sleepless for many people.

For example, everyone in the Tian Ce Mansion, such as the brightly lit Longevity Division.

They were all making final preparations for the first clash in more than ten years tomorrow.

Of course, this kind of sleeplessness did not only happen in Chang'an.

It also happened in the small village called Niutou Village in the distant Azure Province.
