"Xiao Han, you're back. I'm so anxious!"
Xu Han brought Ning Zhumang and Su Mu'an back to his courtyard. The door to the room opened just now, and Chu Chou Li hurriedly walked up with Xuan'er in his arms.
However, Xu Han did not respond to him. Instead, he winked at the middle-aged man. The man immediately understood and hurriedly covered his mouth.
"What exactly is going on? Who exactly is that sword light and that black robe just now?" When Xu Han sat down, the middle-aged man hurriedly walked over to Xu Han, lowered his voice, and asked like a thief.
Xu Han angrily rolled his eyes at Su Mu'an, but he still told her the whole story. He only concealed the situation in his body from Su Mu'an's countless generations of ancestors.
"Then how did you escape? How did you break the Dragon-Snake Twin Technique? Didn't you really give Qin Keqing that child …" Chu Chouli widened his eyes and looked at Xu Han in disbelief.
Evidently, it lacked the factors of that man. There was a huge loophole in this story, and even someone as nervous as Chu Chouli could not hide it.
"With the help of an expert." Xu Han weighed the sword in his hand and replied with a smile.
Chu Chouli did not feel that he was there when he said those words, but Su Mu'an and Ning Zhumang's expressions changed. They seemed to have thought of something, but they did not dare to say anything else.
"Right, this sword" Xu Han also realized that this sword was the one Su Mu'an carried on his back. He couldn't help but turn to look at Su Mu'an .
However, before she could say anything, Su Mu'an waved her hand repeatedly and said, "I can't use this sword with my back. Since it has fallen into the hands of the Manor Master, the Manor Master can use it himself."
The youth spoke with utmost sincerity and no courtesy at all.
This appearance was quite similar to that of the man.
Along the way, Xu Han didn't think that only the youth in front of him would treat him honestly. Xu Han was touched and was about to thank him.
"Aiya! Why are you still talking about this? If that's the case, the people of the Tian Ce Mansion won't let you off, then let's hurry up and run away. We don't need to worry about burning firewood if we can keep the green mountains alive!" Chu Chouli, who was standing at the side, said loudly, his expression filled with excitement.
Not only Xu Han, but Ning Zhumang and Su Mu'an also gave the middle-aged man a big look.
When the middle-aged man saw this, he was stunned and his voice instantly softened. He carefully said, "Did I say something wrong?"
After a night of riots, the sky had already turned pale.
"One hundred thousand Azure Dragon Army and fifty thousand Heavenly Battle Army are searching the city. How can they escape?" Xu Han sighed.
After reuniting with Su Mu'an and the others, Xu Han immediately wanted to leave, but he discovered that the army that was originally waiting outside the city had suddenly entered the city. It was like a carpet, and he did not know what to search for. Xu Han could not pinch the minds of these soldiers, so he did not dare to act rashly. Moreover, Xuan'er was still in his room, so he naturally couldn't abandon him, so he wanted to go back to his room to inquire about the situation.
"So those people from the Tian Ce Mansion still won't let you go?" Hearing this, Chu Chouli frowned.
Xu Han nodded and shook his head.
Although he didn't like the use of the Tian Ce Mansion , logically speaking, he had already given all of his Dragon Qi to Qin Keqing. The Tian Ce Mansion shouldn't kill them all like this, but what was the matter with the soldiers searching in the city? Xu Han really couldn't understand this point.
However, there was one thing Chu Chouli was right about. They had to think of a way to leave this place. Regardless of what Mr. Lu was planning, Xu Han was unwilling to involve himself in this manor in the slightest.
However, now that Chang'an City was surrounded by an iron barrel and Immortal Yue Fuyao was still in charge, how to leave was also a difficult problem.
Dong! Dong!
Just as everyone was at a loss, a knock suddenly sounded on the door of the courtyard.
That voice instantly caused the hearts of everyone present to thump. They looked at each other with strange expressions in their eyes.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded again, a bit more hurried than before.
Xu Han gritted his teeth. Hiding was naturally not the way. If the other party really came looking for him, he would inevitably break through the door and enter. As he thought about it, Xu Han and Xu Han gave everyone a glance, signaling them not to act rashly. He slowly walked to the gate of the courtyard. The sword in his hand was tightly gripped by him, and the sword intent surged all over his body. Obviously, as long as the other party moved, he would not hesitate to send the sword in his hand into the other party's chest.
To this end, he took a deep breath and adjusted his condition to its peak, so as to ensure that he could understand the other party's life before he could make any sound.
Squeak!
With a light sound, the door was opened. Xu Han's eyes widened in anger as his sword whistled away.
However, this movement was clearly able to see the person's appearance. He stopped and his sword was fixed not even an inch away from the person's chest.
"What? His wife is going to be killed?" The person blinked at Xu Han, as if he wasn't panicking at all.
Xu Han's face flushed red as he sheepishly put away the sword in his hand.
"Why are you here?" He turned his head to look outside the house and confirmed that no one had noticed. He pulled the girl into the courtyard door and asked softly.
If there was any consolation in Xu Han's heart during his trip to Chang'an, it was the girl in front of him. He knew her personality and was wholeheartedly thinking of saving Great Zhou's life, but even so, the other party was still willing to risk helping him. The note from before was an indispensable message to Xu Han.
"The people outside are looking for you like wildfire. Good thing you still dare to hide here." Ye Hongjian did not answer Xu Han's question. Instead, she glared at Xu Han in dissatisfaction.
Xu Han didn't know how to defend himself, so he could only smile and say, "The most dangerous place is the safest place."
This statement naturally attracted Ye Hongjian's eyes again, but in the end, she still said, "Let's go, I'll take you out of the city."
…
Ye Hongjian's so-called method of leaving the city was very simple. She put on the armor of the Heavenly Policy Army for the few of them, and then he, the Manor Master of Tiance Prefecture, led them all the way.
Although there were some interrogations along the way, the name of the Tian Ce Mansion 's Manor Master was still there, and it was possible for them to inspect the clothes of Xu Han and the others one by one.
On the way, Ye Hongjian even had the leisure to ask Xu Han how he escaped from Ascending Heaven. Xu Han naturally repeated the perfunctory words of Chu Chouli. However, Ye Hongjian was smart and naturally recognized the flaws. However, when she saw Xu Han not saying anything, she was extremely obedient and did not ask further.
Along the way, the city gates of Chang'an City soon appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Xu Han and Ye Hongjian gradually became silent.
Not only because of the pass in front of him, but also because of the imminent departure.
Of course, this thought was quickly put away by everyone, because the person guarding the city gate was surprisingly Yue Fuyao's son, Yue Chengpeng, who had once met Xu Han.
If Ye Hongjian and most of the Heavenly Fighting Army and the Azure Dragon Army didn't know Xu Han before, and they could still get away with it, then this trial wouldn't be easy to pass.
However, they had already reached this point. If they turned around, it would become even more suspicious. Therefore, at that moment, they had no choice but to forcibly step forward. However, they were already prepared to charge forward if something was wrong in their hearts.
"Prefecture Head Ye, is it going to leave the city at this late hour?" Yue Chengpeng was still familiar with his temperament. Seeing Ye Hongjian leading the group, he welcomed them with a smile and an indescribable eagerness on his face.
"Yes." Ye Hongjian said in a deep voice. Behind him, Xu Han and the others hurriedly lowered their heads for fear that Yue Chengpeng would recognize them.
"But my father has received Mr. Lu's order. Can you say that the current Chang'an City is forbidden to enter or leave?" Yue Chengpeng replied with a smile, but his gaze was filled with interest as he looked at Xu Han and the others.
Ye Hongjian subconsciously shifted her body, blocking Yue Chengpeng's gaze, but this method couldn't help but be filled with suspicion.
Yue Chengpeng's gaze became even more suspicious.
"I'm also following Mister Lu's instructions to go out of the city to do some important things. If Young Master Yue doesn't believe me, I can wait here. Send someone to ask." Ye Hongjian, on the other hand, said bravely.
Yue Chengpeng's gaze swept across the crowd before he spoke after a long time.
"Since it's Mr. Lu's intention, then please." After saying that, he led the Heavenly Dipper Army behind him to open up a path for everyone.
This action exceeded everyone's expectations. Ye Hongjian's gaze towards the other party couldn't help but carry a strange expression.
"Miss Ye, please hurry up. Don't delay Mr. Lu's explanation." Yue Chengpeng urged with a smile, and he even bit the accent on Mr. Lu, which was self-evident.
Ye Hongjian's heart trembled and she bowed deeply to the other party before leading Xu Han and the others away.
…
"Where are you going next?" Standing on the hill outside Chang'an City, Ye Hongjian finally stopped in her tracks.
Of course, she didn't have to walk this far, but for some unknown reason, she led Xu Han and the others five kilometers away before stopping.
The sky had gradually brightened. The bright spring sun shone down on the girl's face. It was unknown if it was an illusion. Xu Han felt that her eyes were a little red.
She bit her lips, her eyes widened a little unnaturally, and she looked a little strange for a long time.
However, Xu Han knew that he wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh no matter what. He wanted to cry, but no matter what, he could endure it.
"I don't know." Xu Han shook his head and said helplessly.
After saying that, he didn't seem to dare to meet the expression on Ye Hongjian's face anymore. He pretended to ignore his gaze and looked at the three people beside him, asking, "What about you?"
"The matter of Linglong Pavilion can't be solved in a day or two. I want to go to the Chen Kingdom to see Ziyu first." Ning Zhumang said first.
"I'm used to idle around. I can't be home anywhere in the heavens and earth. Follow Xiao Han." Chu Chouli said carelessly, but his words seemed to be relying on Xu Han.
Xu Han did not comment on their words. Instead, he looked at Su Mu'an and asked, "What about you?"
"I want to avenge my father, but I'm not their match …" The youth was a little annoyed. After a while, he said, "Why don't I follow the Manor Master as well …"
Xu Han smiled bitterly and shook his head. "Right now, I am not the Manor Master. Your Sister Ye is the one. Follow me and wander around. You can't stay here if you want. First, it's like the Ce Manor taking power today, but I can guarantee your safety. Second, you can concentrate on cultivating. When the time comes, you can seek revenge on Zhu Xian."
'"But" Su Mu'an hesitated a little, but just as she was about to say something, Xu Han interrupted her again.
"Did you promise to be my bodyguard? Now that I ask you to help me protect Big Sister Ye, why are you unwilling?" Xu Han asked.
"This" The youth was obviously stopped by Xu Han's question. After a while, he finally nodded.
This was the best path that Xu Han could find for this child. Seeing him agree, Xu Han revealed a smile.
"Everyone else has arranged it, but what about you?" At that moment, Ye Hongjian's voice sounded again.
Xu Han had no choice but to look at the girl in front of him again. He stared at the girl for a long time before saying, "I have many questions in my heart, but I still don't understand where to go and how to do it." However, I heard that the Dragon Hidden Temple of Great Xia has been inherited for thousands of years. Even the Exquisite Dragon Pavilion is still much weaker than it. There are quite a lot of books in the Scripture Pavilion. Perhaps I can try my luck there. "
The girl's face darkened when she heard this. Of course, she knew that no matter where Xu Han went, it would be very difficult for them to see each other again. However, such a distance still made the girl feel a little lonely.
"Then you …" Then he gritted his teeth and pondered for a while before asking again, "Do you want it back?"
"If possible, I will." Xu Hanyan said.
"Definitely." The girl said.
"Huh?" Xu Han was stunned for a moment and did not immediately understand the girl's intentions.
"You must come back!"
The girl said again, her voice suddenly filled with an unquestionable certainty. "The engagement was arranged by the two of us. I won't allow it to be torn apart unilaterally!"
"You are my husband. You are now, you were, and you will definitely be. If you don't come back, even if I, Ye Hongjian, die, I will not let you off!" After the girl finished speaking, she turned around and quickly left without waiting for Xu Han to respond.
At that instant, Xu Han vaguely saw a sparkling thing falling from the girl's face when she turned around, floating onto Xu Han's face.
Xu Han blankly put that thing in front of him.
It was slightly cool, but it shone under the bright spring sun.
"Mm …"
"I will definitely come back."
Xu Hanyu said softly in his heart.
