Chapter 449 Strolling 452
Both Shen Mu put on their masks and set foot on the bustling streets of Chang'an.

Putting Xu Ziling's shoulders on Xu Ziling's shoulders, Shen Mu felt the moving feeling of the brothers' reunion, and said: "To deal with Shi Zhixuan today, we can neither rely on Houhou nor involve Young Master Hou, but only rely on our own strength."

Xu Ziling said: "We won't lose him much if we join forces, but it is absolutely impossible to kill him, unless he is willing to share life and death with us."

Shen Mu proudly said: "I have a detailed plan for the military campaign. The virtuous monk of Shi Zhixuan will definitely recuperate in the meditation room of Wulou Temple. As long as we can create a situation that forces him to flee there In a small basement, we can ambush him there, killing him by surprise, and there is no way to escape. Although the battle of trapped beasts is a bit dangerous, but we can take advantage of it by bullying the few."

Xu Ziling pondered for a moment, and said: "Who has the ability to force him to flee to the dungeon? There is only one chance to try this matter. To reveal his identity as a holy monk, we will have difficulty in grasping his possessions in the future."

Shen Mu said: "My little brother is exhaustive, how could he miss this crucial point. In Chang'an, there is only one person who is capable, and that is Li Xiaozi's father, Li Yuan."

Xu Ziling was shocked and said: "You are playing with fire, one is not good, even we can't finish eating and walk around."

Shen Mu smiled and said: "This matter still needs to be discussed in detail. In short, the plan is roughly the same, and the details still need to be studied and deployed. Go!"

After listening to the two people's request, Song Shidao said: "Whether you plan to draw a clear line with Houhou in the future, or help Pegasus Ranch to avenge this deep revenge, these two points are very important, otherwise, even if I have a lot of tongue, I will not say no." Move Shang Xiuxun. I met her once, and I understand her better."

Lei Jiuzhi asked, "What kind of person is she?"

Song Shidao said: "She grew up in a very unique environment. Everyone in the ranch regards her as a god, but she governs the ranch according to the family law passed down from her ancestors, and always keeps a distance from people outside the ranch. You The two are probably the few outsiders she ever trusted, so this accident hurt her particularly badly."

Shen Mu let out a breath and said, "Of course we are on her side. But now the situation in the Demon Sect has become more complicated and subtle due to Zhu Yuyan's death and Shi Zhixuan's recovery, so the most urgent task is to deal with Shi Zhixuan first, before it's time for other things. We I just want my second brother to explain our plight to Shang Xiuxun, alas! How should we explain it?"

Song Shidao nodded and said, "I understand, but everyone has different positions, so I'm afraid it's not so easy to agree."

Xu Ziling saw that Ren Jun who was sitting beside him dressed as Situ Furong was hesitant to speak, so he knew he didn't dare to interrupt, so he asked, "Boss Situ, what do you want to say?"

Ren Jun shyly said: "Master Xu is also here to tease me, I just want to remind Master Song that there will be a visitor later, Master Song must go and come back quickly."

Lei Jiu pointed and said: "I almost forgot to tell you that Xiao Yu sent someone to submit an ultimatum yesterday, saying that he would come to visit our boss Situ at noon today. Li Yuan can say that he is doing Fu Rong a lot of face."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling were moved.

Like Pei Ji and Liu Wenjing, Xiao Yu was Li Yuan's closest minister, and even the wife and uncle of the old Sui Emperor. She was highly respected and had a special status among Tang officials.He condescendingly came to see a nouveau riche like Situ Furong, and he had to have Li Yuan's consent behind him, or even come under orders.

Ren Jun muttered: "Hey! Should Master Xu play Situ Furong back, boy! Hey! Boy..."

Only then did everyone know the real reason why he hesitated to speak, all because of stage fright, wanting to avoid this battle.

Xu Ziling jokingly said: "If Xiao Yu came to the central boss, you can issue a bank note, and teach me how to deal with it?"

Ren Jun smiled wryly and was speechless.

Shen Mu said solemnly: "This is the opportunity to practice. The so-called jade is not perfect. If Ling Shao takes you to deal with Xiao Yu, Xiaojun will miss an opportunity."

Ren Jun respectfully replied: "Master Kou taught me the lesson, I understand!"

Song Shidao stood up and said, "Xiaojun is right. Where is Shang Xiuxun staying?"

Shen Mu stood up quickly, and Xu Ziling replied: "According to Hou Xibai, she has a property in Shengyefang, Dongshibei, Wangxian Street, and this is where she lives." He also gave the detailed address.

Song Shidao said: "It will take a lot of time to see her, but I will find a way. Are you waiting here for news from me?"

Xu Ziling said: "I made an appointment with Du Fuwei to meet in Beiyuan, and I will come back to see the situation after meeting him."

Shen Mu was overjoyed and said, "Have you dated Dad?"

Lei Jiu pointed out: "You should not leave together, it's not good for others to see."

Shen Mu laughed and said, "Second brother of course enters and exits through the main entrance, those of us who can't see the light come and go over the wall, and come and go freely."

Song Shidao smiled and said: "Don't worry, Shang Xiuxun will sell me some face no matter what, at least he will listen to me. However, my record as a peacemaker for you is not glorious, and I can't resolve the dispute between you and Jun Qiang." resentment."

Shen Mu sighed: "We've had enough! We don't want to have more beautiful women."

Lei Jiuzhi sent the two of them across the house to the back garden. This mansion occupies a vast area, with continuous buildings, pavilions and pavilions. The property is embarrassing.

The three of them walked on the gravel road in the back garden, Shen Mu frowned and said, "It feels weird that such a big house is not cleaned by a servant."

Lei Jiu pointed out: "We did this on purpose. The cleaners were sent by Chen Fu, and they left after half a morning's work. Only the people in the dining room were permanently stationed, and they were all from our own people who we could trust. We came to take refuge. Well! Xingzang is weird and no one will suspect it."

Xu Ziling said: "How is the appointment of the martial artist going?"

Lei Jiu pointed out: "In the past two days, people have come to apply for jobs from time to time. I deliberately made things difficult. I didn't confirm the appointment of anyone. I only asked them to leave detailed information and then let Chen Fu verify their identities. This method is reasonable, otherwise how would I know?" Who are related to Chi Shengchun?"

Shen Mu smiled and said, "If it's really Chi Shengchun's person, he must be a member of the Demon Sect. How could you let your brother know his identity so easily?"

Lei Jiu pointed proudly: "Don't forget that you and Song Ergege and I are old Jianghu, so it's not easy to be deceived. And your concerns can be reversed. Whenever you encounter someone whose identity is unknown, it is very likely that they are traitors from the Demon Sect. That's the kind of guy we're going to hire, ha!"

The three of them arrived at the wall of the backyard. Outside the wall was the alley that separated the neighbors. It was easy for Shen Mu and Xu Ziling to get in through the wall, because they could check the surrounding situation before starting to act, but it would be much more difficult to get out through the wall. , because it is not easy to grasp the situation outside the wall.

Xu Ziling was listening to the sounds in the alley behind the wall, Shen Mu said with a smile: "I bet there are people sent by a certain force to watch at the main gate and the front gate, and there must be people from the government among them, because Lord Furong has attracted the attention of all parties. " After a pause, he continued, "If Young Master Ling and I leave the back door, what will happen?"

Xu Ziling sneered: "Our plan to kill incense may come to an end, so sad."

Shen Mu shook his head and said: "The difference between this trip and the last trip is that everyone knew that we would come to Chang'an to hunt for treasures last trip. This time, everyone thought that I was entangled with Li Xiaozi in Cijian, so I had a chance to be seen through Minimal. Besides, we can design an identity for ourselves, so it’s easier to come and go.”

Lei Jiuzhi said happily: "We have thought about this problem for you a long time ago. Xiaozhong's name is Cai Yuanyong, and Xiaoling's name is Kuang Wentong. They are both masters of the Taihang Gang, and they are called 'Two Heroes of Taihang'. Huang An, the leader of the Taihang Gang, has always He had a lifelong friendship with Situ Furong, and when Situ Furong was in trouble, it was only natural for him to send two capable men to protect Situ Furong."

Xu Ziling was puzzled and said: "You seem to be a bit wrong with this move, the Xiang family has eyeballs all over the world, as long as you send someone to check, you will know that the 'Two Heroes of Taihang' are still by Huang An's side, and if we haven't come to Chang'an, isn't it true that we have revealed our true colors. "

Lei Jiuzhi laughed and said: "This is the wonderful thing. According to the report from the spies, Huang An did send these two guys to protect Situ Furong, but they didn't come to Chang'an. I wanted to discuss this with you later. , now seeing that Xiao Zhong wants to go out through the back door to make an appearance, so let’s bring it up by the way!”

Shen Mu glanced at his attire, and said, "What do these two guys look like? What kind of weapons do they become famous for?"

Lei Jiu pointed proudly: "Please don't worry about my work, you can come with me first! Guaranteed that when you step out, anyone with a bit of experience in the world will know that you are a pair of heroes, not a pair of dragons, ha!"

Shen Mu's long sword turned into a strangely shaped serrated knife, while Xu Ziling got a long blade. His hair accessories and attire were slightly changed to match the appearance of "Two Heroes of the Taihang" Cai Yuanyong and Kuang Wentong.

When Xu Ziling closed the door after stepping out of the back door, Shen Mu glanced around and sighed: "It's usually like this, when you want to be found out, no one pays attention to you."

Xu Ziling said: "It's best if no one pays attention, I'm afraid that Dad will get impatient and leave, go!"

The two walked side by side, Shen Mu said with a smile: "When will we be able to walk on the streets of Chang'an in a big way with our original appearance and identity?"

Xu Ziling said indifferently: "One is that you are willing to surrender to the Tang family, and the other is that you have successfully dealt with Li Shimin, there is no other possibility apart from these two."

They cut into a relatively spacious side street in Lifang from the long alley, and they can leave Lifang and enter the main street by going left.

Suddenly there were shouts from left and right, more than ten big men came towards them at each end, everyone looked unfriendly, it was obvious that they were coming towards them.

The two looked at each other in astonishment, puzzled in their hearts.Logically speaking, if someone knows their true identities, it should be Li Yuan's personal guards, not the twenty or so people who seem to be local gangsters. At least the roofs are full of archers to prevent them from flying around. breakout escape.

It would be even more unreasonable if they didn't know that they were Xu Ziling and Shen Mu who were famous all over the world.Could it be that they offended these people just by leaving Situ Furong's Chang'an residence.

In a blink of an eye, the front and back roads were all blocked by this group of people, with murderous intent, and passers-by nearby scattered to avoid.

One of the big fellows in front came out in a row, pointing his halberd and shouted: "This is called Heaven has a way and you don't go, but there is no way to hell but you break in. If you do many unrighteous actions, you will die yourself. You two will die for me."

Xu Ziling took a closer look, the speaker was Xiao Xiuming from the Guanzhong Sword Sect, he joined Xingchanglong to impersonate Mo Wei last time, and had a relationship with him.Duan Zhixuan, Xiao Xiuming's elder brother, is one of the core generals of Tiance Mansion, and is highly valued by Li Shimin.This time I don't know if it was considered that the Dragon King Temple was destroyed by the flood, and my family beat my own family.

Shen Mu changed his voice and replied: "I don't know if this man is denying the wrong person. We have no grudges with you in the past, and we have no grudges in the present. What kind of behavior is it to stop the way like this and shout for beating and killing?"

Another person shouted from behind: "Of course you don't know us, otherwise you will dare not come to Chang'an to act wild if you give God the courage. We have already heard the news that you two brats who don't know how to live or die will come to die. Those who are sensible Put down your weapons and save us a lot of work."

Xu Ziling didn't need to look back, he immediately recognized Xiao Xiuming's younger brother Xie Jiarong. Both Xiao and Xie were from Xingchanglong, and they belonged to the Guanzhong Sword Sect with Bu Ting, the son of Xingchanglong's boss Bu Wannian.

Shen Mu yelled with a headache, and said patiently: "It's okay to arrest without a fight, but at least let us understand, where exactly are we offending you brothers?"

Xiao Xiuming showed a shameless look, and scolded: "Okay, I will explain to you two little thieves according to the rules of the world. If you still remember Lu Zhier, the daughter of Lu Yan in Xiuwu City, you have done a very good thing to her, don't use me Xiao Xiuming again Spend more time talking!"

Xie Jiarong in the back shouted angrily: "Cheating money and sex, I am so tired that the young lady kills herself with hatred, Cai Yuanyong and Kuang Wentong, are you two still human? You are really animals that are not as good as pigs and dogs."

Xiao Xiuming continued: "Fortunately, we knew that you would come to Chang'an to meet that vampire, so we waited here day and night, and if you don't put down your weapons, we'll cut you up."

The two of them understood, and thought that Lei Jiuzhi was really good at it, whoever would not pretend to be two thieves who swindle money and sex, if the matter in front of them is not to be done, it is even worse if they don't do it, they just slipped away for a while, I really don't know How to end.

Xiao Xiuming saw no reaction from the two of them, and said angrily, "Do it!"

The two sighed inwardly, exchanged glances, and decided to run away. The only wish was not to reveal more details because of this, and there was no other request.

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao Xiuming followed the prestige, and immediately frowned and stayed on the spot.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling felt that something was wrong.Because the person who came was Er Wenhuan, Li Jianchang's confidant of Lin Jun, and beside him was another tall and thin man in military uniform, followed by more than a dozen city guards. If he found out his identity, they would have to force their way through the city gate Of course, the big plan to deal with Chi Shengchun will fail, Chen Fu and others will also be implicated, and the consequences will be extremely serious.

After holding both hands, Er Wenhuan went straight to Xiao Xiuming and his group in leisurely time, and said with a sinister smile: "Brother Xiao seems to be unaware that the emperor strictly prohibits private fighting, and he is openly armed in the street in broad daylight. Eldest brother Duan Zhixuan works under the command of Prince Qin's residence, so he knows how to break the law."

Xiao Xiuming's expression changed slightly, and he told everyone to put away their weapons before responding, "Do you know who these two are, General?"

Er Wenhuan made a gesture and ordered more than a dozen city guards with him to stay on the periphery, while he and the tall and thin general walked straight over. Xiao Xiuming's brothers from the Guanzhong Sword Sect had to step aside and let the two pass through. Come to Xiao Xiuming's side.

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling were a little relieved, because they knew that Er Wenhuan hadn't seen through their disguise yet.

Er Wenhuan turned his eyes to look at Xu Ziling and Shen Mu. He didn't seem to have any malicious intentions. He nodded and greeted with a smile, but he said to Xiao Xiuming, "Who are they? Brother Xiao, please advise."

Xiao Xiuming said: "These two people have been rampant in the Taihang Mountain area, and they have done many evils. They once cheated innocent women for money, and caused the girl to commit suicide by taking poison."

The tall and thin general with a horse face and splayed eyebrows narrowed his eyes and shouted: "In that case, Xiao Xiuming, why didn't you report it to my city guard? It's a private fight if you deal with it yourself. The city guards are like nothing, don't let me, Yao Luo, be in their sights!"

Er Wenhuan laughed and said: "So it's really Brother Cai and Brother Kuang who are famous in Taihang Mountain." Then he said solemnly: "What do Brother Cai and Brother Kuang think about Brother Xiao's accusation?"

As long as you are not a fool, you will know that Er Wenhuan is justifying the two of them. Although Shen Mu and Xu Ziling are absolutely unwilling to accept Er Wenhuan's "good intentions", they hate that they have no choice.

Shen Mu coughed dryly, and said weakly: "Hey! How could our Taixing Shuangjie do such a thing against the law of nature? Xiao Xiuming made it clear that he was spraying people with blood for a certain purpose. Lord Er and Lord Yao, please help me The two brothers uphold justice."

Er Wenhuan gave them a reassuring wink, then nodded slightly, and said coldly: "Whether the government or the world, what you say is nothing more than a word of reason. Brother Xiao's accusations against Brother Cai and Brother Kuang are very serious. Is there any personal or physical evidence?"

Xiao Xiuming was stunned and speechless.

Yao Luo said with great authority: "Without any real evidence, you force others to accuse you and ignore my laws of the Great Tang Dynasty. Xiao Xiuming, you are so bold. Come, bring all these strong men back to the city guard."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling looked at me, thinking that this is okay, they have harmed people who uphold justice like Xiao Xiuming, how can they be at ease?

Fortunately, when all the city guards called for action, Er Wenhuan suddenly turned into a good man again, saying: "In my opinion, it's just a misunderstanding. As long as Brother Xiao promises not to harass Brother Cai and Brother Kuang in the future, everyone can end peacefully."

Shen Mu and Xu Ziling were astonished, and immediately thought that this might be an order from Li Jiancheng to his subordinates, not to mess with the people in the Qin Palace during this critical period, so they were so easy to get along with, and they asked Yao, the general of the city guard who was directly under Li Yuan's lineage. Luo said the item.

All eyes were on Xiao Xiuming, to see how he would react.

Xiao Xiuming's face turned red and then pale, obviously he was very angry, but he had no way to do it, and after a while he conceded defeat and said: "We were reckless this time, and we won't offend you two again in the future."

Er Wenhuan had the upper hand, and said with a long smile, "Brother Xiao really understands."

Xiao Xiuming resentfully shouted to his troops: "Let's go!"

After everyone from the Guanzhong Sword Sect left, Er Wenhuan said happily, "I've heard about the great name for a long time, and it's rare for the two of you to come to Chang'an from such a long distance, so let me show my respect to the landlord and treat you to a simple meal, how about it?"

How could the two refuse, although they couldn't agree to Du Fuwei's appointment, but seeing Er Wenhuan's enthusiastic appearance, it seemed that he must have plans, which was really a "surprise joy", and he hurriedly agreed with the same enthusiasm.

During this trip to Chang'an, the situation became more complicated.

After drinking for three rounds, overlooking the Yuema Bridge, the four of them chatted happily at the table on the east side of the third floor of Fuju Building, the most famous restaurant in Chang'an, and the atmosphere was harmonious.

After some polite words, Yao Luo turned to the main topic and said: "We have heard about Brother Cai and Brother Kuang going to Chang'an for a long time, so we paid special attention to the people who entered the city to see if the two brothers were there. The two were intercepted by the Guanzhong Sword Sect, and we realized that the two masters were already in the city, and the two really have a plan."
