Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 107 This shouldn't be something you're curious about

The arrow stopped for a moment.

Chen Shan raised his sword and stood in front of Bei Yao and Xu Yuan, saying in a cold voice: "Young Master, be careful."

Bei Yao laughed and said, "I thought people would calm down a bit, but I didn't expect it to be so chaotic all the way."

As Bei Yao finished speaking, men in black came like a tide.

Xu Yuan saw that and said, "Zhuifengtang."

Coming towards Beiyao again.

"Yes." Beiyao nodded and replied: "It seems that my life is really valuable."

"Let's think about how to survive."

Xuyuan's hand fell to his waist, ready to draw his sword at any time.

The man in black didn't waste any time and rushed over with a sword in hand.

Bei Yao said slowly, "Xu Yuan, you didn't think that I would take you to the capital without any preparation, did you?"

"what?"

Xu Yuan still didn't understand what Bei Yao meant.

The next moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a group of people in black clothes and red hats rushed out from behind them.

Chen Shan was at the front of the crowd, and coldly ordered: "Remember to save their lives, and let them go back to Beijing to tell the master of Zhuifeng Hall to wash their necks and wait for death."

Fighting broke out.

The air was mingled with the smell of blood.

The moment Xu Yuan looked over, a pair of hands suddenly blocked her eyes.

The white sleeves rubbed against her nose, and the scent of agarwood came along with it.

There is something wrong with making a wish.

Beiyao didn't know what Xuyuan was thinking, so he just said, "It's better to watch less murder scenes, so as not to dirty your eyes."

"it is good."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan obediently closed his eyes, with the image of the men in black still in his mind.

She always felt that...that group of people looked familiar.

Xu Yuan thought for a long time, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Mr. Shen, are the people coming here from the Cross Gate?"

Xu Yuan remembered that in the capital, there was a group of people wearing black clothes and red hats, walking around the streets like ghosts.

There was no leader or subordinates, it seemed like a spontaneous organization among the people.

But later, Xu Yuan found out that they called themselves the Cross Gate.

It is also the sharpest knife under the Third Prince.

The third prince was able to overthrow the crown prince who was already the heir to the throne and become the crown prince.

On the one hand, it was because Song Xiujing won over the Song family, and on the other hand, it was because the third prince was so talented.

But the thrust of the "Cross Gate" should not be underestimated.

According to Tianqi law, no one is allowed to station troops privately outside the imperial court.

In ordinary people's mansions, there are only some guards.

The prince is protected by experts, most of whom are from the Imperial Guards.

Just like the four masters around the third prince.

But the Cross Gate was different. Before the Third Prince became the Crown Prince, everyone thought that the Cross Gate, like the Zhuifeng Hall, was a spontaneously established civil organization.

Therefore, the court did not pay much attention to it.

It was not until later, when the crown prince fell and the third prince came to power, that the Cross Gate appeared as the private guard of the third prince Bei Yao.

Even though it was against etiquette, Bei Yao was extremely powerful at that time, so no one dared to advise against disbanding the Shizimen and convicting Bei Yao.

Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Bei Yao couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Xu Yuan, have you ever heard of an old saying? The more you know, the faster you die."

Hearing that this was a threat, Xu Yuan whispered, "I'm just a little curious."

"This shouldn't be something you're curious about."

Beiyao's voice faded, and he continued: "Since you are no longer prepared to be an ally, then you'd better act stupid, so that I won't choose to kill you to silence you."

Hearing Bei Yao's words, Xu Yuan knew for some reason, and asked back amidst the flashing of swords and sabers: "Then will you really kill me?"

"Of course it is possible."

Bei Yao spoke lazily, but still raised his sleeves to block the scene of fighting in front of Xu Yuan.

After he finished speaking, he added: "But, maybe I can't bear to part with it."

Xuyuan was silent.

Not long after, Chen Shan came over and said, "Sir, it has been solved. The carriage is broken. Also, this is Mr. Xu's baggage."

Beiyao took the bag handed over by Chen Shan.

The arrow feathers were very dense, and the bundle was covered with arrow-sized cracks.

Bei Yao took it and saw the silver and clothes inside.

If there is no money, there is naturally no clothes to wear.

He turned around, handed the bundle to Xu Yuan, and said, "Change the carriage and continue the journey. Also, prepare some clothes for Xu Yuan."

"Yes." Chen Shan clasped his fist and nodded.

On the side, Xu Yuan hurriedly opened the bag, and when he saw that the clothes inside were all tattered, his eyes darkened.

Those two sets of clothes were made overnight by Zhang Qingyu and Wen Shufang.

But now, it is gone before we even leave the territory of Sishui County.

One can imagine how uncomfortable it was to make a wish.

She held the clothes in her arms, and seeing Beiyao was still giving instructions on other matters, she said softly, "Master Shen, let's say goodbye now."

Bei Yao turned around, quite puzzled: "Why?"

"It's more convenient for me to go alone, and it won't be so dangerous."

Xu Yuan held the clothes tightly in his hand and said, "I am not someone who can share life and death with you. I want to live, and I want to reach the capital safely."

Zhuifengtang sent out experts to hunt him down again and again.

There will be even more crises ahead.

Xuyuan doesn't want to take any risks.

She knew that Beiyao had someone protecting him.

But she didn't.

She couldn't guarantee that she could safely avoid those sharp arrows every time.

Therefore, the best way is to go separately.

Bei Yao saw the clothes in Xu Yuan's hand, paused, and said: "I have asked Chen Shan to prepare clothes for you, you..."

"Master Shen."

Xu Yuan interrupted Bei Yao and said persistently, "You can see that we are being chased before we even leave the border of Sishui County. I don't want to be frightened and worried all the time. I was originally planning to go alone. Just think that General Xie didn't ask you for help. My life and death has nothing to do with you."

Bei Yao looked at Xu Yuan for a long time, then he said, "Only the last sentence is what you really think, right?"

"Even if you are not being chased, you may leave early when you take a rest at the next intersection."

"Today's pursuit did not make you determined to leave, but found the most perfect excuse for your thoughts, right?"

Bei Yao's voice was cold, as if he had returned to the pavilion that day overnight.

As expected, no explanation was heard for the wish.

Bei Yao turned around and said, "If you think you can go alone, then go alone. After we arrive in the capital, we will be strangers. It doesn't matter if we spend some time together. The weather is cold, I'll ask Chen Shan to prepare a horse for you and a cloak."

After saying that, Bei Yao said no more and left with his hands behind his back.

Xu Yuan looked at Bei Yao's back and lowered his head spinelessly.

She said softly, "I'm sorry."

In the snow, Bei Yao stood with his hands behind his back, a cold aura lingering around him.

"Third Master."

Chen Shan didn't know why Beiyao was in such a bad mood, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "The carriage is ready."

Even though he was prepared when he heard the words "Third Master", Bei Yao couldn't help but confirm it again: "Is she really gone?"

"Yes." Chen Shan nodded again.

"I was just being sentimental after all." Beiyao closed his eyes, turned around and said, "Let's go."

Chen Shan helped Bei Yao into the carriage.

Snowflakes were falling heavily. He started the carriage again. After driving only two or three miles, he heard Bei Yao say in the carriage, "Let Master Qin follow Xu Yuan. Make sure Xu Yuan arrives safely in the capital, and then come back to report."

"Yes." Chen Shan agreed immediately.
