Bang!

Before dawn, the courtyard door was kicked open.

Li Yan woke up from the bed, picked up a long knife, and was about to jump out of the window, but his expression changed and he quickly lowered his body.

The hilt of the knife gently opened the window, and saw a series of black shadows jumping up on the courtyard wall, drawing their bows and strings, aiming at all the rooms.

It's Commandery Commandant Office's person!

Li Yan frowned, what are these black dogs doing to them?

"Somewhere on the road, shine a vine!"

In another room, Sha LiFei also roared through the window.

He doesn't have Divine Ability, and it's dark and wintery, so he can't tell clearly that he is Commandery Commandant Office.

"Commandery Commandant Office Search for traitors!"

Accompanied by a cold voice, a man walked in from outside the door. He was tall, with a charred face, sinister eyes, and a long gun in his hand.

"I'll count to three, if you don't come out, I'll shoot you without mercy!"

Shoot without mercy?

Li Yan's eyes flashed with fierceness and he held on to the ultimatum.

Before he finished speaking, there were chaotic footsteps outside the streets and alleys, and torches were blazing, accompanied by an angry voice:

"Feng Han, what are you doing!"

It's Guan WanChe.

Li Yan felt a little relaxed when he heard the sound.

The conflict between Chang'an City and Commandery Commandant Office is a big trouble. Although he can break out with the help of Yinsi troops, he will definitely be wanted.

Guan WanChe arrives, at least he can deal with it.

But looking at these two groups of people, they seemed a little uncomfortable.

What happened?

Just when he was doubting, Guan WanChe had already led another group of Commandery Commandant Office people to build another layer of people outside the small courtyard.

He stared hard at the man with the gun and said coldly, "Feng Han, you are responsible for people from outside the city, don't cross the line!"

The man with the gun glanced lightly, "The thing is lost. How can I just sit back and watch such a big thing? Besides, there is a Chiliarch Guo warrant, so of course we must investigate it strictly."

"Strict investigation?"

Guan WanChe sneered, "I think he wants to kill people and silence them!"

The face of the man holding the gun remained unchanged, "I am just following orders. I don't understand what Guan Baihu said."

There was an old man beside him, holding Yang Seal in his hand, his eyes scanning back and forth in the courtyard, he loosened his hand while speaking, stepped forward and whispered, "Master Baihu, you are not here."

"Hmph, let's go!"

The man with the gun didn't talk nonsense. He waved his hand and left with his men. He passed by the Commandery Commandant Office members outside the hospital. They were hostile to each other and the atmosphere was like fire and water.

When passing by Guan WanChe, the man with the gun suddenly stopped and said meaningfully, "Guan Baihu, this matter is too big, you can't afford it, and neither can the guy above you. Those who know the current affairs are heroes."

Guan WanChe said coldly, "Feng Han, you are too impatient."

"Hahaha..."

The man with the gun sneered, turned around and left.

After they left, Guan WanChe strode into the courtyard and said in a cold voice, "I know you are all awake, come out."

Squeak~

Li Yan and others came out one after another and looked at each other.

Sha LiFei wanted to complain, but when he saw Guan WanChe's cold, murderous eyes, he had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.

Li Yan asked, "Master Guan, what happened?"

Guan WanChe did not answer, but asked, "Yesterday, Phoenix Inn shopkeeper Feng FeiYan came to see you. What did she say?"

Related to Feng FeiYan?

Li Yan was surprised in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged. He shook his head and said, "It was just a normal visit to pay New Year greetings. I didn't sit down for a while and then left."

Woof woof woof!

At this moment, the fierce dog led by Guan WanChe was sniffing around and suddenly barked at Sha LiFei's room.

Guan WanChe's eyes immediately became sharp, "Search!"

Before he finished speaking, several Commandery Commandant Office Xiaoqi quickly stepped forward, pushed Sha LiFei away, and rushed into the room to search.

Li Yan suddenly felt something was wrong.

Soon, these people came out carrying a paper figure and threw it in the courtyard, "Report to hundreds of households, this is Medicine-Powered Puppet."

"Hmm."

Guan WanChe frowned slightly and looked at Sha LiFei, "What are you doing with these?"

Sha LiFei smiled awkwardly, "Isn't it Lantern Festival it's coming soon? I thought about putting this thing up to make it more lively."

"Humph, it's a useless thing in life!"

Guan WanChe cursed, but the killing intent in his eyes dissipated a lot, and continued to ask, "Did Feng FeiYan come here afterwards?"

"Never seen it before."

"What did she say?"

"It's just a normal New Year greeting. I'm shutting down hundreds of households. What happened?"

"It has nothing to do with you!"

Guan WanChe replied coldly, then waved his hand and was about to lead his men away, but halfway there, he suddenly stopped.

He hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Something big has happened to Commandery Commandant Office. I'm afraid Chang'an City will not be peaceful in the future. You and I are old and know Feng FeiYan. Be careful and don't be used as a knife."

After that, he turned around and left.

The courtyard became quiet again, and the three of them looked at each other.

Sha LiFei scolded, "Damn, it's inexplicable. Could these black dogs have eaten gunpowder?"

Li Yan's heart moved and he said in a deep voice, "Protect the Dharma for me!"

Just say it, just pinch Mystical Gestures with your hand and lightly hook it with your little finger.

Wow!

A Chuling Paper Figure immediately flew into the night sky.

The cud spirit flies with the wind at a very fast speed.

This thing is mainly based on Shengang, and there is no Yin Energy. In addition, Li Yan is getting more and more sophisticated in Daoism. Soon he caught up with Guan WanChe and others, lurking in the leaves beside the road.

"Sir, what should I do?"

"Hmph, they are looking for Feng FeiYan. They are probably trying to silence him because they are afraid that the matter will be leaked."

"The key is Divine Firearm. As long as we find it before the court investigates, there is still room for change."

"The leader last night was Bai RuoXu, the master of Yaxing Hall. He is also a disciple of the Maitreya Sect. You can find out the information from the road and see if the other party is still hiding in the city."

"I'll take people out of the city to find..."

"Yes, sir!"

Guan WanChe seemed to be very anxious. After giving the order, he shook the reins and galloped away with his men.

After they left, the cow spirits on the trees also burned themselves and turned into ashes...

In the small courtyard, Li Yan put away Mystical Gestures and shook his head slightly.

"Commandery Commandant Office's firearm is lost."

"The one who did it was Maitreya Sect, and the master of the Yaxing Hall, Bai RuoXu, was also a disciple of the Maitreya Sect."

"Feng FeiYan, I'm afraid I became a pawn in the fight between the two factions Commandery Commandant Office. Now I don't know whether I'm alive or dead, and I don't know where I went."

"Hiss--!"

Sha LiFei gasped, "This is a huge disaster. The imperial court attaches so much importance to New Style Firearm. If it is found that it is missing, it will definitely go to war. Chang'an City is afraid that there will be chaos."

"Really... Master Dao, didn't you say that everything went well this year? Why did something go wrong again?"

"Alas~ Pindao is not really a half-immortal. This is how the hexagrams show it, but it is a mixed blessing and a misfortune. It is hard to say."

"Stop talking about this."

Li Yan looked into the distance and said in a deep voice, "The thing is lost, it has nothing to do with us, but after this incident, Commandery Commandant Office's fight between the two parties may turn to the bright side."

"We know Guan WanChe and Feng FeiYan. It is inevitable that they will be used as pawns and involved."

"Also, that bastard Bai RuoXu is actually a member of the Maitreya Sect. Now that I think about it, he probably didn't have any good intentions when he led us to Xiangji Temple."

"Chang'an City can't stay here anymore, Uncle Sha, you guys clean up and leave after dawn. Find a place to hide outside Chang'an City and wait for news from me."

Sha LiFei was anxious, "Why, you still want to keep it?"

Li Yan shook his head and said, "Drum King Assembly, we have already promised Senior Wan, so we can't make a mistake. Besides, the quota in Huashan is very important to us."

"Commandery Commandant Office Both gangs are angry now. As long as I hide, they will ignore me. As soon as Lantern Festival passes, as long as they get the quota, they will leave for Huashan immediately."

"After buying the magical weapon, I will probably go to another state to hide for a while."

"That's... that's good."

Sha LiFei and Wang Dao Xuan sighed.

At this point, we can only follow what Li Yan said.

The three of them immediately packed up. At dawn, Sha LiFei and Wang Dao Xuan carried their bags, disguised themselves as merchants, and followed the crowd out of Chang'an City.

Li Yan turned to look at the empty yard, shook his head slightly, locked the door, and left with his luggage on his back.

He first went to Lanling Ward, jumped into the Li family mansion from the side yard, and told the matter to Lady Li and Li KongQing who were awakened.

Of course, Li Yan didn't talk about firearms, only that Commandery Commandant Office was fighting among themselves. They were afraid of getting involved, so they had no choice but to leave.

"This... is really a disaster coming from heaven."

Li KongQing was a little speechless, shook his head and said, "Young Lord is very interested in Drum King Assembly. I heard that you formed a team with our Shaanxi Warlock, and I wanted to meet up and encourage you."

Li Yan pondered for a moment, "Lantern Festival I'm afraid it's dangerous, so it's best for you not to go out that day. Brother Kong Qing also tried his best to persuade Young Lord."

"You wait, when City God Temple's coffin is transported out of Chang'an, Commandery Commandant Office's fight will come to an end, and then Chang'an will be able to calm down."

"That's all, Master, take care!"

After saying that, he bent down deeply towards Lady Li.

"Alas~"

Lady Li also sighed, "The world is like this, there are many things you can't control, so you must be careful."

"Yes, master."

After leaving Li Residence, we saw that there were obviously a lot more soldiers patrolling the city on the street. Li Yan's heart moved, so he picked up his bags and went into the alley.

Changle Ward, in the courtyard of the mansion.

"One, two, three, get up!"

With a shout from Guo LuQuan, forty or fifty men worked together, and the three sacred towers, one large, two small, and three were lifted up immediately.

"Obey my command, wind!"

"Hey ho ho ho!"

Guo LuQuan shouted loudly, and the men immediately shouted slogans and slowly moved forward carrying the sacred tower.

"Lin!"

After giving the order, the men tightened their stance and remained motionless.

These are all Porters Guild's men, each with full strength. Under the command of Guo LuQuan, although they are not as good as real polers, they can advance and retreat in an orderly manner.

At the same time, the war drum band at the rear followed closely behind with large drums, and the drums roared to match the rhythm of the crowd.

On the other side, Manager Wan looked at the note in his hand and shook his head slightly, "Everyone, Brother Li has other important matters. Lantern Festival will show up that day. Let's rehearse first."

"It is indeed not peaceful in the city today. Where has he gone?"

"No matter what, let's practice first..."

Pingkang Ward, Jinbao Gambling House have been seized.

Teams of Commandery Commandant Office personnel, along with official servants, turned the entire gambling house upside down.

"Report! The secret passage was discovered!"

"Search!"

At the window in the distance, Qingyuan Tower Courtesan Zhao WanFang withdrew his gaze, looked at Li Yan who was devouring his food, and smiled sweetly:

"What, you just plan to live in a brothel?"
