Even after not seeing each other for a year, Wei Yunlan recognized the man in front of him at first sight.
She couldn't help but rub her eyes twice with her free hand.
It was not a dream. The person who was supposed to be in Tanzhou actually appeared before my eyes!
When their eyes met, there didn't seem to be any strangeness between the two of them as they hadn't seen each other for a long time.
Looking at the woman in front of him, she had her hair tied up high, looking a little disheveled, but completely unharmed.
Qi Xu showed a smile of relief.
Fortunately, we arrived in time and she was not injured.
but……
Based on her abilities, I think even if I didn't arrive in time, she would definitely have a way to save her life and the lives of her companions.
"Miss Wei, how are you?" He nodded slightly and said.
Qi Xu didn't even turn his head. He raised his right hand, swung his sword, and killed the barbarian who attacked him from the side.
At the same time, three silver needles fell into the barbarian's throat.
This was not a good time for greeting, and even when they looked at each other, they did not let down their guard.
With the help of the people brought by Qi Xu, the barbarians who were fighting with the Huang family guards outside the yard were quickly dealt with.
The few skilled fighters in the yard were also at a disadvantage and were about to be controlled.
At this moment, Heiyun suddenly let out a loud bark, turned around and rushed into the house.
Seeing this, Wei Yunlan hurriedly followed.
A man who was so short that he was almost a dwarf appeared on the rafters.
He flashed a cold light at the second prince Huyan who was tied up below.
The second prince opened his eyes wide, his eyes full of astonishment and disbelief.
After Wei Yunlan followed Qi Xu into the house a few steps behind, his pupils shrank slightly when he saw the person on the beam.
Seeing people rushing into the house, the man quickly swung out the cold light in his hand, pointed his toes, and jumped onto the narrow exit on the roof along the same path he came from.
The flying knife he threw was so fast and accurate that the Second Prince Huyan couldn't move at all.
At this distance, no one could save his life.
The Second Prince Huyan will definitely die!
The man left without hesitation.
Seeing that the knife was about to pierce the chest of Prince Huyan II, Wei Yunlan's eyes fixed, concentrated his attention, and silently said the word "retract". The flying knife that was supposed to pierce the flesh and blood disappeared.
When he reappeared, his strength had been lost and he fell to the ground with a "bang".
At the same time, Qi Xu had already jumped onto the roof and was chasing in the direction of the fleeing man.
The Second Prince Huyan seemed to be frightened silly, his eyes were dull and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Wei Yunlan looked at him deeply, asked the guards of Tianshu Pavilion who entered the room to keep a close eye on the Second Prince Huyan, and walked out himself.
Qi Xu had returned to the courtyard with a serious expression.
Obviously he did not catch up with the man who just escaped.
"The man just now was using the bone shrinking technique. This technique has been lost for a long time. The last record of it was forty years ago."
That was when my grandfather had just ascended the throne and showed his great talent and strategy.
At that time, a killer sneaked into the palace to assassinate the emperor's grandfather. That killer used the skill of shrinking bones.
I didn't expect to see someone who could shrink bones again after forty years. I don't know who this person works for, the Northern Barbarians? Or some other force that wants to take advantage of the chaos to intensify the conflict between the Northern Barbarians and Dayong?
"I have sent people to chase him, but he is very familiar with the city's terrain and has the skill of shrinking bones. I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch him this time."
As Qi Xu spoke, he glanced towards the room, and through the open door, he could see the Second Prince Huyan being guarded by two guards on his left and right. Although his eyes were dull, he was unharmed and not hurt at all.
The "dwarf" assassin who could shrink his body failed in his plan.
"Next, Second Prince Huyan will be taken care of by my people." Qi Xu said in a low voice.
Wei Yunlan immediately understood that the man in front of her was hinting to her that she should not worry about the Second Prince Huyan being handed over to the Northern Army or the imperial court, and saying something that would be detrimental to her.
Nodding slightly.
Then he saw a man riding a horse coming towards him from outside the yard.
The figure was familiar; it was the deputy who had followed the man in front of him on the road to exile.
"Guard Feng." Wei Yunlan saw the other party looking at him and nodded in greeting.
Feng Ping dismounted and clasped his fists towards Wei Yunlan, "Miss Wei."
"I'm glad you're okay. I heard that the North Gate was attacked, so the master hurried on his way overnight. The journey that was originally half a day should have been shortened to more than an hour..."
Qi Xu glared at Feng Ping fiercely, and his eyes clearly said that the other party was "talkative".
Feng Ping quickly stopped talking and smiled awkwardly.
Then he folded his hands and reported, "Master, the South Gate has been controlled. All five hundred barbarians were killed by our people. Only two small leaders are left. You will interrogate them later."
Two more guards dressed the same as Feng Ping arrived one after another and reported the situation in various parts of the city.
Obviously, the crisis in Beiguan City has been resolved.
Whether it was the North Gate, the South Gate, or other barbarians who broke into the city, they were all killed.
Wei Yunlan was listening at the side and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, Tianshu Pavilion brought a full five thousand people.
But don't underestimate the number of 5,000. The soldiers trained by Tianshu Pavilion are far from being comparable to those weaklings in the state guards. They are even stronger than the soldiers stationed in the north or the Shenshu Camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
With these five thousand men stationed there, unless the barbarian army breaks through the border.
Otherwise, Beiguan City will never fall into crisis again!
They arrived just in time.
"Master, this man tried to sneak away, but was caught by my subordinates." A guard was holding a middle-aged man in a navy blue robe.
