Chapter 234 Change

Xu Han walked on the streets of Chang'an City.

It was 11 o'clock, and there were still endless pedestrians coming and going on the streets.

The sounds of shouting, selling, and even the drunken people in the tavern could be heard endlessly.

However, Xu Han did not have the mood to experience the bustle and prosperity of this ancient city. He was still immersed in the conversation with Yuwen Cheng.

What did he ask for?

Settle down? Evidently, it wasn't just this, otherwise, why would he come to Chang'an City and get involved in this ruckus?

He thought of the carefree figure who was holding a sword on the Great Abyss Mountain, of the haggard eighty-year-old man in Big Yellow City, and of the thin man in white robes in front of Chengding Town who had borrowed a knife to slash him.

He suddenly understood something.

Or rather, he knew what he had made a mistake.

He had always treated Zhu Xian as his enemy, trying to borrow the Imperial Court to resist him. But Yuwen Luo, that emperor, wasn't he his enemy? No matter where the dragon qi from the Tian Ce Mansion came from or what his background was, there was no doubt that if Yuwen Luo could kill his father and order the death of those royal relatives who were connected to his bloodline, then the Tian Ce Mansion that possessed such a vast dragon qi would naturally not be able to tolerate it.

He had already labeled himself an enemy in Yuwen Luo's heart. It was ridiculous to expect that he would use his strength to fight against the Long Night Division.

After Xu Han understood this, he had some new ideas about his next plan.

…

With the help of Yuwen Cheng, Xu Han had figured out many of the problems that had been troubling Xu Han. Although he was still unable to find a suitable way to solve the current situation in a short period of time, he was no longer as passive as before. He was in a better mood. When he passed by a street vendor, he even bought some food that was extremely rare. He wanted to go back and cook supper for everyone in the manor.

"What rebellion? His Majesty has already pardoned Mu Qingshan's sins. The old Mu Clan army will be released soon. Do you dare to make trouble here?"

"I'm just following orders. Please don't stop me."

"This is the Tian Ce Mansion! This is not a place where your Long Night Division can act wildly!"

"I only know that there are rebels here. Not to mention the Tian Ce Mansion, even his Yu Palace, I have to go in and search!"

However, Xu Han's good mood did not last long. When he arrived at the entrance of Tiance Prefecture's mansion, a wave of controversy spread far into Xu Han's ears.

Xu Han frowned as he looked over, only to see dozens of black-armored warriors surrounding the entrance of the Tian Ce Mansion in the night. Fang Ziyu, Ye Hongjian, and the others were standing at the entrance of the manor arguing with the commander of the black-armored warrior.

After the court proceedings were obstructed by many parties, Xu Han discussed with Mr. Lu and the others. Thinking back and forth, Mr. Lu personally brought Hou Ling and the others to Big Yellow City to prepare for the reconstruction of Big Yellow City. At the same time, nearly half of the remaining three hundred Tian Ce Mansion Army were sent out and began to gallop around the Great Zhou Empire to gather the remnants of the Tian Ce Mansion. As a result, Xu Han and the others were the only ones left in the Nuoda Tian Ce Mansion.

Xu Han guessed that the clerks of the Longevity Division must have received this news, so he chose to cause trouble at this time.

He looked at Fang Ziyu, who was fighting with the black-armored commander, and Ye Hongjian, who had a gloomy expression. He knew that the situation was probably not good, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly walked to the gate of the Tian Ce Mansion.

"The surname is Xu!"

"Xiao Han!" Seeing Xu Han arrive, Fang Ziyu and Ye Hongjian seemed to have found their backbone. At that time, their faces were filled with joy. The Heavenly Policy Army behind them also hurriedly surrounded him.

Xu Han gave them a relieved look and then looked at the leader of the black-armored soldiers.

Coincidentally, this black-armored commander was the man surnamed Yan who had stopped them from entering the manor when they arrived in Chang'an.

At that time, Xu Han frowned and asked with extreme displeasure, "Why is it you again?"

Hearing this, the expression on the man surnamed Yan's face froze. He had seen Xu Han's arrogant attitude before. Although he was prepared for this, when he saw Xu Han's disgusted gaze, he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart.

However, he quickly suppressed this anger and his eyes sank. Then, he looked at Xu Han mockingly and said, "Lord Manor Master is busy with his official duties. I heard that he has suffered many defeats in the Imperial Court, but I still remember that I am truly terrified."

"Chang'an City is not as clean and tidy as the small place I stayed in before. There are few chaotic things. It's natural that one or two barking dogs would come out from time to time and be deeply impressed." Xu Han replied calmly in the face of the man's mockery.

"You!" How could the man not hear Xu Han's innuendo? His face immediately flushed red and he was about to curse. However, he was at least a small commander of the Long Night Department's Greed Wolf subordinate. He still had some ability to discipline himself. Therefore, when you said that, he realized that something was wrong and retracted the curse from his mouth.

Then, the anger on his face faded away and he turned into a thick, sinister smile.

"Lord Manor Master has a sharp tongue. I am willing to kowtow to you, but this search for a usurper is His Majesty's will. Does Lord Manor Master also want to resist the imperial edict and be disrespectful?" As the man spoke, his eyes lit up. Previously, he feared the Great Evolution Realm Marquis Ridge and was forced to retreat by him. Now that both Marquis Ridge and Mr. Lu had left Chang'an a few days ago, how could the Tian Ce Mansion still have the strength to fight? He did not believe that Xu Han still had the ability to fight against him.

"A usurper? What usurper?" Xu Han, however, was certain that he would not let the man surnamed Yan do as he wished and asked the man with a puzzled expression.

"Hmph, Lord Manor Master, stop arguing. That Su Mu'an in your manor is the usurper we want to catch!" The man surnamed Yan sneered.

"Huh?" Hearing this, Xu Han frowned again. The corner of his eyes shone as he glanced towards the entrance of the manor. He saw the little fellow carrying a sword and knife at the door, looking nervously at this place. "Is Commander Yan confused? How can a twelve or thirteen year old child be a thief?"

"Mu Clan's old tribe, the son of Su Gu Wei, why isn't he a rebel?" The man surnamed Yan asked.

"Didn't His Majesty already order an amnesty for these old tribes? Commander Yan took advantage of this stall to make things difficult for a child. If word of it were to spread out, wouldn't it make others laugh?" Xu Hanhan said.

"Amnesty?" But who would have thought that Commander Yan would let out a cold laugh at that time? Then, he took out something from his bosom and handed it to Xu Han. "I didn't receive any special amnesty decree. Only His Majesty issued the Autumn Slaying Decree."

"Count the time. Ten days from now, all the old tribes of the Shepherd King who are imprisoned in the Longevity Division will have to go to the guillotine."
