Chapter 3546

Commandant Situ had obviously been asked this question before, so he nodded his head in distress, "That's the problem!

How did the Imperial Advisor die?

Previously, the Imperial Advisor had single-handedly gone deep into Jiang Guo and killed the Imperial Advisor.

And today … "

"Jiang Guo's revenge?"

Gao Peng immediately understood, his face immediately became vigilant, his eyes looking at the commotion outside the city gate, he nodded and said, "If that's the case, then we must guard the four gates, assist the Admiral and the rest in interrogating the villagers, and strictly prevent the remnants of the Jiang Country from entering the capital to cause trouble!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Commandant Situ replied with a smile, then said mysteriously, "However, this old man feels that the Ministry of War is making a mountain out of a molehill. It's purely taking off your pants to fart!"

Gao Peng was tactful, and hurriedly smiled: "This subordinate is willing to listen to Sir's wise opinion."

"Number one? An expert who can kill the Imperial Preceptor, how can we see him?

How could he possibly mix in with such vulgar villagers? "Commandant Situ proudly pointed with his finger," Do you think there will be one here? "

"Of course not!"

Gao Peng suddenly realized, "Those are all immortal level characters, how could they possibly enter from the city gate?

"What about the second, my lord?"

"The second?" Commandant Situ laughed, "Naturally, it's someone who can enter from the city gate!"

"Then..." Who is that? "Gao Peng did not understand.

Commandant Situ said again, "Those who can enter from the city gate are naturally the remnants of the Jiang Country!"

Gao Ming nodded: "Indeed, indeed …"

"But the problem is …" Commandant Situ said again, "If the Jiang Country found an expert to kill the Imperial Advisor, the Jiang Country would definitely be recruiting troops and expanding their power. How could the Jiang Country develop their power to the capital of our Copper Pillar Nation?"

"Yeah, that's true!"

Gao Peng suddenly realized, and then asked again, "But what if it wasn't the Jiang Country who asked someone to kill the Imperial Advisor?"

"If not, why would we guard the four gates and interrogate the villagers?"

"Oh..." That's right! "Gao Peng nodded even more," Sir is right, it seems like we don't need to come at all!

But the question is, why would the Ministry of War give such a brainless order? "

Lieutenant Situ smiled and pointed at his own head. "You'll have to use your brain!

Think about it, even the Imperial Preceptor had fallen, how could the monarch not be furious?

What about the Six Divisions?

Don't you have to show that you're busy? Don't you have to show your existence? Don't you have to show your attitude? "

"I understand, so … even if you want to fart, you must take off your pants.

It means that you're really … farting! "

Gao Peng laughed, but just as he was laughing, his eyebrows twitched slightly. He looked into the distance and said in a low voice, "Sir, look over there. After the villagers who entered the city …"

"Oh?" Colonel Situ was stunned. He raised his eyes and followed Gao Peng's gaze. His eyes flashed with doubt.

In just a short moment, more people had gathered at the east gate. As this was the first time they were conducting an interrogation, Colonel Situ's subordinates were obviously not familiar with it. Few people were let off, and many were left behind. Behind these people stood four men. These four men were not tall, and if they were standing on the ground, they might not be able to see anything strange. However, Colonel Situ and Gao Peng were riding on horses, so they could see the difference between the four men at a glance.

Most of the people who woke up early were farmers or peddlers in the suburbs. These four men were obviously dressed as warriors. In the middle of the four men was a young scholar dressed in white Confucian robes.

If it was just this, it wouldn't have attracted Gao Peng's attention. What made Gao Peng and Colonel Situ frown was that this scholar's gaze was flickering. He looked at the soldiers who were conducting the interrogation and seemed to want to leave. However, in just a short while, more people pushing carts came from all around them, blocking them and making it difficult for them to advance or retreat.

What was special was that when Colonel Situ's gaze landed on the scholar, the scholar clearly shifted his gaze and looked elsewhere. He even swept a few glances at the top of the city wall.

Colonel Situ and Gao Peng were sent to the east gate to guard the interrogation. Of course, they were people who didn't care about sand in their eyes. Seeing this, how could they not know that there was definitely something wrong with this scholar?

Colonel Situ raised his eyebrows, and Gao Peng immediately understood. He slightly spurred his horse and left from where he was, slowly entering the city gate. It was obvious that he was going to inform the general on the city wall.

Colonel Situ jumped down from his horse and slightly tightened his grip on the horsewhip in his hand. He was about to remove the weapon from the hook beside the saddle …

At this moment, a slightly impatient voice rang out from behind him. "What are you all doing?

Why aren't you all moving aside? "

Colonel Situ was stunned and hurriedly turned his head to look. He saw that within the city gate, there were two children in embroidered clothes. The one in front had a thin figure, and the one behind was slightly chubby. However, both of them had skin as white as jade and eyes as bright as stars. With one look, one could tell that they weren't ordinary people.

And behind them, there was another thin scholar in scholarly robes. He held a folding fan in his left hand and a scroll in his right hand. He shook his head as he read and slowly walked towards Colonel Situ.

And the impatient voice came from the child in front of him. "Hurry up and move aside. Don't block my family's young master's path!"

"This … Which family's young master is this?"

Colonel Situ was stunned. Just as he was muttering in his heart, the two children were already in front of him. Colonel Situ didn't dare to delay and hurriedly moved aside. There were many high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital of the Bronze Pillar Country. Naturally, he couldn't recognize all of them. Furthermore, he didn't receive any orders to interrogate people who left the city, so naturally, he wouldn't stop them.

"Oh?

What's going on? "

Walking to the city gate, the scholar shifted his gaze away from the scroll and looked at the commotion at the city gate in confusion. He frowned and asked.

The thin child in front of him hurriedly said, "Young master, this is called entering the city to interrogate and check if there's anything wrong with the people entering the city!"

"Oh, so that's how it is!"

That scholar's gaze indifferently swept over the faces of Officer Situ, the surrounding soldiers, and the nearby villagers. Then, without stopping, he continued to walk out of the city gates at a neither fast nor slow pace.

Seeing that the scholar didn't even know what an interrogation was, Colonel Situ knew that he couldn't afford to offend this scholar. Or rather, this scholar had nothing to do with him. Thus, he raised his hand and took down his Damascus Steel Spear from his horse, preparing to follow behind the scholar.

In the distance, the scholar in the crowd clearly saw Colonel Situ and Gao Peng's actions and knew that things weren't going well. A trace of panic appeared on his face. He turned his head and was about to lead the four martial artists out of the crowd. However, the scholar raised his head and looked at the spear and sword on the city wall. Hesitation appeared in his eyes again.

It was at this moment that the scholar who came out of the city happened to walk to his left. The scholar's eyes turned and he hurriedly squeezed out of the pile of carriages and called out, "Brother Su, Brother Su, I'm here …"

The one who came out of the city was naturally Xiao Hua. He brought Liu Yi and Wang Bianfei out of the Black Cloud Ridge and didn't directly fly to the Jade Mountain. Instead, he made a turn and landed in the Bronze Pillar Country. He had some things he wanted to ask Zhai Xing Lou's Zhu Qing. Unfortunately, Zhu Qing was no longer in the Bronze Pillar Country. As for where Zhai Xing Lou went, the new manager didn't know. Thus, Xiao Hua waited for a few days and participated in a small auction last night before preparing to leave for the Jade Mountain.

Of course, with Xiao Hua's current cultivation, he no longer changed his appearance. He didn't know if the Bronze Pillar Country knew of his arrival, or if they knew and didn't dare to make a sound. In short, Xiao Hua very smoothly brought the two children out of the Bronze Pillar Country's capital at daybreak.

As for why Xiao Hua was dressed in scholarly robes and had the two children call him Young Master, it was purely on a whim. It was like You Zhongquan's so-called study tour.

Xiao Hua saw a scholar in embroidered clothes squeeze out of the crowd entering the city and wanted to pull him back. Moreover, the scholar even called him Brother Su. At first, he was somewhat astonished, but when he saw the scholar's slightly panicked appearance and the weapon in Commandant Situ's hands behind him, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart and let the scholar grab his scholarly robes.

Sure enough, when the scholar saw that Xiao Hua didn't reveal any doubt or disgust, he was overjoyed and called out, "Brother Su, this little brother waited outside the city for an entire night. Didn't we agree to go to Jingling Mountain last night?

If you leave the city now, how will you be able to see the sunrise? "

As the scholar spoke, he winked at Xiao Hua, as if reminding Xiao Hua not to expose him.

Xiao Hua smiled and said in a clear voice, "Brother Lang, it's not that this little one didn't go last night. This little one suddenly had an important matter at home and this little one had no choice … Today, as soon as the city gates opened, this little one hurriedly came out. Wasn't it precisely to apologize to Brother Lang?"

"Ai, don't talk about apologizing!"

The scholar took advantage of the situation to pull Xiao Hua's sleeve and walk outside. "You'd better think about how to explain it to Miss Ling Hua!

You've already stood her up twice in a row! "

"Forgive me, forgive me …" Xiao Hua said with a smile, "It seems this little one wants to be the host and bring a bramble to ask for forgiveness."

As they spoke, the two people very affectionately left. Liu Yi naturally wasn't surprised. He pulled the somewhat dazed Wang Yifei and walked in front, while the four men protected them at the back.

Commandant Situ naturally stood in the distance, somewhat uncertain. However, seeing Xiao Hua's calm appearance, he didn't seem to be faking it, so he didn't chase after him. As for above the city wall, when Gao Peng looked down again, Xiao Hua and the scholar had already walked far away.

The scholar pulled Xiao Hua for no less than half the time it took to eat a meal. Only then did he slightly tilt his head to see if there was anyone chasing behind him. Afterwards, he let go of Xiao Hua's hand, but he saw that there were still some sweat stains on Xiao Hua's sleeve. It was clearly from the scholar's hand when he was nervous.

Xiao Hua looked up and down and cupped his hands, saying, "Brother, the city gates are already far away, presumably those soldiers already can't see us.

This one still has some matters to attend to, so forgive me for not seeing you off. Goodbye. "

That scholar saw that Xiao Hua didn't drag on and didn't ask him why he suddenly pulled him back. He hurriedly returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Brother, you've misunderstood. This one isn't afraid of any soldiers, but there's some misunderstanding with them …"

"Hehe, this one understands!" Xiao Hua also smiled and said again, "Goodbye!"
