"It's the Changling Qimen Army. It seems to be a routine inspection."
"If it's just a routine inspection, this carriage belongs to Baiyang Cave, and since it is carrying me, it should be easy to pass."
"As long as you are not related to that nobleman in the army, even if you find me in your carriage, there will be no problem. At most, people will know that I am in this carriage. After all, I am not a prisoner to be arrested."
"But if it is someone related to that nobleman in the army, maybe they will directly try to kill you."
"Then I can only try to grab the horse and escape as much as possible."
Ding Ning and Wang Taixu were talking softly.
Although it seemed that it was just a routine assisted interrogation by the defenders in Changling, the interrogation at this time should be related to the assassination last night no matter how you think about it.
…
Beside more than a dozen bronze-colored chariots shining with cold light, stood a sergeant also wearing scale armor.
The only difference from the rest of the sergeants was that he had a black sheathless iron sword hanging from his waist.
The runes on this iron sword were as dense as flowers, and the faint glow on his face naturally revealed his identity as a practitioner, which was completely different from ordinary soldiers.
He seemed to be paying attention to the pedestrians and vehicles around him, but in fact, his eyes kept glancing over the distant road from time to time.
Just when the carriage that Ding Ning was in appeared in his field of vision, his eyes lit up slightly.
As the carriage got closer and closer, looking at the marks left by the wheels of the carriage on the ground and the extent of the bumps in the carriage, the flames in his eyes became brighter and brighter, like a layer of strange fire began to burn .
Looking at the gradually slowing carriage, he called the two sergeants beside him and confessed a few words.
More than a dozen carriages in front were driven to make way to both sides of the road, giving way to the carriage in Baiyang Cave.
The middle-aged man driving the car was a little surprised. He thought that the sergeants saw the small white sheep mark on the car, so it was a special case to let them go at this moment.
However, what he didn't expect was that he raised his whip, and the slowing carriage hadn't accelerated yet. The dozens of sergeants in scale armor had temporarily stopped checking the rest of the carriages and pedestrians, and quickly surrounded them. come up.
"The appearance of eating is ugly, it seems very likely to confess here today."
Looking at the actions of these sergeants through the gap in the car curtain, Wang Taixu sighed softly, and sincerely said to Ding Ning: "If I want to make a move later, you don't want to follow me."
"As long as these people show some signs of killing you recklessly in broad daylight, I will not stand with you." Ding Ning nodded and said very sincerely: "I may not collect your body, but I will find a way to avenge you."
Wang Taixu laughed, he suppressed his cough and laughed very hard.
…
"What are you doing?"
The middle-aged man driving the carriage looked at the military practitioner coming towards him, and said angrily, "This is the carriage from Baiyang Cave."
The military cultivator with the black iron sword on his waist remained expressionless, still walking slowly, and said coldly, "The carriage in Baiyang Cave will also undergo routine inspection."
"That's not necessarily the case." The driver, who is not particularly polite on weekdays, but very simple, sneered, and took out a document with a bright red seal from his sleeve, "This is an official document issued by Shendujian. Unexpectedly, all the way was unimpeded."
Ding Ning and Wang Taixu in the carriage were stunned for a moment.
Neither of them expected such a change.
Each department in Daqin will have relatively special documents, which are used in emergencies to coordinate the personnel of each department. The copy that the coachman took out at this time was a special document issued by Shendujian.
Because it takes time to escort some prisoners or escort some witnesses and evidence in Shendujian, there is a special pass document that does not accept interrogation at checkpoints along the way.
Judging from the usual behavior of this coachman, he would never think of asking Shendujian to issue such a document first. It should be that after what happened last night, Shendujian didn't want Ding Ning to have any more accidents. Officials take special care.
However, in the face of such changes, the military practitioner with a black iron sword on his waist remained cold and indifferent, "This document is invalid."
"Why is it invalid?"
The coachman opened his mouth in disbelief, but before he could make a sound, a stern voice sounded from the side of the road.
A bald man who looked like an ordinary trader slightly raised his head to look at the military practitioner who was half a head taller than him, but his face exuded a colder look than the military practitioner.
After making that sound, his right hand stretched forward from his waist, and a black jade tablet hung from his hand.
The aura on this jade tablet was also very cold, and the words "Shendujian" on it revealed the identity of this bald man disguised as an ordinary merchant.
Shendujian is undoubtedly one of the most feared places in Changling, so when this jade plaque was exposed to the morning sun, even the unrelated passers-by felt a chill in their hearts.
However, in the face of the jackal-like threatening gaze of the plainclothes official of the Shendu Prison, the face of this military practitioner with a black iron sword on his waist remained unchanged. He just said indifferently: "Because I am a Zhiqiu, Qimen Sergeant Command, reward a hundred households."
The plainclothes official of the Shendu Prison froze for a moment, and his expression became extremely ugly.
There are 20 grades of military merit titles in the Great Qin Dynasty. Those above the eighth grade already enjoy many privileges and enjoy the tax of a hundred households. This is already a reward that can only be enjoyed by the ninth grade of officials and nobles. In addition, the opponent is a complex defense of Changling. The Qimen Sergeant Command has enough rights not to be restricted by the Shendujian.
"The people inside come out."
The officer named Duan Zhiqiu didn't look at the official of the Shendu Supervisor again, and his indifferent eyes fell on the carriage.
A wisp of faint breath emanated from his body at this moment.
Feeling this breath, Wang Taixu's face in the carriage suddenly became extremely pale.
Ding Ning's heart sank suddenly.
His perception is even much stronger than Wang Taixu's.
Moreover, Zhiqiu deliberately revealed such aura of true energy, so he can be sure that this Shi Tong is a strong man in the army whose cultivation base has reached the fifth level!
With Wang Taixu's injuries at the moment, and with many sergeants staring at him nearby, it is absolutely impossible for him to escape under the hands of such a master of the army if he fights.
…
"I want to see if anyone can let the person from my Aries Cave come out."
Following the soft shout of the famous scholar Tong Juan Zhiqiu, even the chariots parked by the side of the road were slowly dragged away. Seeing that no one could stop him from allowing Ding Ning and Wang Taixu to appear in the morning sun, However, at this moment, a dull and old voice came from the road behind him.
Everyone in the field turned their heads involuntarily, and saw an old man with white beard and hair walking along the road.
This old man's face is like white jade, but his lips are vermilion. The white Taoist robe on his body is trimmed with yellow borders, and he wears a decorative white jade sword on his waist. Too fast, a little out of breath.
When the old man uttered his voice, Ding Ning's eyes lit up in the carriage. He opened the car curtain and saw the old man from a distance, but he muttered softly, "How does it look like?" On the contrary, he is older than Du Qingjiao... so old, not only old, but also without anger, is it alright?"
Wang Taixu's brows were still deeply furrowed, he also saw the old man through the gap, saw the small white jade sword, and he already guessed who it was.
He was shocked, but still nervous.
Because the old man was far away from the carriage they were in, the old man had to not only walk, but also be fast enough.
Juan Zhiqiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Don't think about rushing to make a move before I make a move, you won't have time." The white-haired old man looked at him and said this.
Juan Zhiqiu sneered: "You must be Xue Wangxu, the master of Baiyang Cave, but even if you are the master of Baiyang Cave, you are not qualified to intervene in my inspection."
This white-haired old man is exactly Xue Wangxu who has been sitting withered in the highest Taoist temple in Baiyang Cave on weekdays.
Seeing Duan Zhiqiu's sneer, he also smiled slightly, and said: "At this time, I don't talk about qualifications, but only about strength."
Juan Zhiqiu's eyes suddenly turned cold, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to speak.
Xue Wangxu has already said: "My past achievements are much more than your current military achievements. Now that Baiyang Cave has belonged to the Ivy Sword Academy, I have nothing to worry about. According to my achievements, even if I slowly Cut, I can do a few more things like this. And you probably want to jump over the wall in a hurry, so can you do such ugly things?"
Although his tone was still flat, just like what Ding Ning said, it seemed that he couldn't hear any anger, but his words were indescribably domineering, and the pride in his eyes made Duan Zhiqiu's mouth linger. I couldn't help twitching slightly.
Juan Zhiqiu's gaze flickered violently for a few times, then he looked directly at Xue Wangxu coldly, and said, "Okay, then let's see what strength you have to say such a thing."
Xue Wangxu still smiled without the slightest anger.
He even turned his body slightly sideways, instead of looking at the military practitioner who was starting to exude terrifying killing intent, but at the mountain farther behind Beijiang Mountain where Baiyang Cave is located.
In the morning light at this time, the mountain peaks farther behind Beijiang Mountain are like the faintest stroke in an ink painting, vaguely beautiful but not real.
"Watch me move that mountain here."
At this moment, Xue Wangxu said something that was difficult for many people to understand.
However, at the moment when he said these words, the faint mountain peak he was looking at suddenly became clear.
Juan Zhiqiu's face suddenly turned white, and his body trembled uncontrollably.
At this moment, there was a muffled bang in the sky above, as if there was an extra mountain.
