Ning Chen and his companions came out of the mountain and headed straight for Xiucheng. In the evening, they arrived at Xiucheng and went into the city separately. Yuan Zishi was right. Xiucheng was very strict. However, Ning Chen and his companions had changed their appearances and even didn't recognize themselves. They entered the city smoothly without any problems. After entering the city, Ning Chen and his companions separated from Yuan Zishi! They came to the inn where they stayed before. Ning Chen returned to the previous inn. After entering the store, Ning Chen looked around. It was dinner time and there were many guests in the store. "Sir, do you want to have a meal or stay in the hotel?"
The waiter in the store greeted him attentively. Ning Chen didn't say much, "Have a meal!" Have a meal means to eat and leave. "Sirs, please take a seat!" Ning Chen and his companions came to a corner and sat down and ordered a few signature dishes. After sitting and waiting for a while, the dishes began to be served. In the past few days in the mountains, we have been eating wild game, and there is no salt, so the food is almost bland. The four people began to eat heartily. Ning Chen put down his chopsticks halfway through his meal and asked the waiter where the toilet was. "Sir, the toilet is in the backyard, I will take you there!" "No need, I can go there by myself!" Ning Chen came to the backyard, observed for a while, and then did not go to the toilet, but went to the horse stable separated by a wall. When he came to the horse stable, Ning Chen looked around and found no one here. But Diao Chan was gone! It seems that his guess was right. They first recognized Diao Chan as a war horse, and when they noticed something was wrong, they sent a message to Qiu Mingde to let him take him down. No, it should be that all the county magistrates under the jurisdiction of Xiuzhou received the order. Because they didn't know which county they would go to? Later, it should be Qiu Mingde who sent a message to Prince Duan... Prince Duan then sent someone to ask the people of the Ghost Shadow Gate to track his whereabouts. It is estimated that Diao Chan fell into the hands of Prince Duan.
Ning Chen shook his head and walked towards the manger. Suddenly, Ning Chen paused and looked back. He saw an old man wearing a coarse linen shirt and holding a bundle of hay... He had a problem with his legs and limped out of the small door next to him. Seeing Ning Chen, the old man raised a flattering smile on his face, "Sir, do you want to lead a horse? Which horse is yours? I will lead it for you." Ning Chen smiled faintly, "No, I will do it myself!" As he said that, he walked to a stable, lifted up the stone trough with all his strength, and then took out a long strip of something wrapped in black cloth from underneath. Yu Jian! When he left the inn that day, he came to see Diao Chan and hid Yu Jian under the trough. Before leaving, he also asked Diao Chan to help him take care of Yu Jian. In the end, Yu Jian was not lost, but Diao Chan lost it herself. Suddenly, Ning Chen sniffed, something was burning? He turned his head and saw that the old man lit the bundle of hay in his hand, and black smoke rose. Ning Chen's eyes narrowed, and he immediately realized that this was a tip-off. He shook the black cloth, and the flying sword appeared. Ning Chen drew his sword, penetrated deep into the cheetah, and stabbed the old man's throat with a sword, the sword was like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, with a hissing sound of breaking through the air. The old man snorted coldly, touched his waist, and pulled out a dagger. Clang! ! ! A crisp metal clang sounded, and Ning Chen's sword was blocked by the dagger. Ning Chen changed his moves, changing from stabbing to sweeping. Clang! ! ! The old man blocked Ning Chen's sword with a dagger again, and at the same time, his good leg kicked like lightning. A cold light flashed! With a snort, the old man staggered back, looked down, and saw a wound on his leg. He looked up, his eyes sinister, staring at the dagger in Ning Chen's left hand. "I didn't expect that you would hide the sword under the manger after we searched the inn?" Ning Chen took a step back and scattered the burning hay with a sword. Then he sneered and said, "I didn't expect that you, a cripple, were actually a master. I was careless." The old man laughed sinisterly, "To deal with the great Xuan Ning Yinyi, you must be more careful and cautious." "I am like this, can you still recognize him?"
"Ning Yinyi left the city empty-handed, and will naturally come back to get the sword." Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "How do you know I have the sword?" The old man sneered, "Ning Yinyi is in the limelight, and naturally many people are watching his every move." Ning Chen stopped talking nonsense and rushed over with his sword. Dangdangdang! ! ! Sparks flew everywhere. This old man is really skilled. One leg is lame and the other leg is injured, but he can still block Ning Chen's dense attack. Ning Chen snorted coldly and swept the sword towards the old man's throat. At the same time, his left hand raised. The old man waved his dagger to block Ning Chen's sword, but the dagger shot by Ning Chen pierced directly into his shoulder. The old man groaned and staggered backwards. Ning Chen took a step forward, and the sharp sword pierced directly into his throat... One sword to kill him. Ning Chen stepped forward and pulled out the dagger, sheathed the sword, and walked quickly towards the front hall. Coming out of the stable, I came to the backyard and was about to go to the front hall, but I saw Gao Ziping and the other two running out of the door leading to the front hall one after another. The three saw Ning Chen. "We have been tricked, there is an ambush!" Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Go through the back door!" The four retreated to the back door. Clang!!! The back door was suddenly knocked open with great force, and a group of archers in armor rushed in, followed by soldiers holding spears. Ning Chen frowned, "Climb over the wall!" But suddenly, figures appeared on the top of the wall, holding bows and arrows, aiming at them. Ning Chen wanted to retreat to the stable, but a large number of archers also appeared on the stable and the backyard wall. They were completely surrounded! Feng Qi was muttering: "It's over! Ning Chen, what should I do? Find a way quickly, I don't want to die... I haven't married and had children yet, and I haven't visited the Jiaofangsi enough... I wonder if there is a Jiaofangsi in the underworld?" Ning Chen's mouth twitched slightly. This idiot, he still has the mind to think about these things at this time? Gao Ziping lowered his voice and said: "These people are the Xiuzhou garrison!" Ning Chen calmed down at this time, stepped forward, and said sternly: "Who is in charge here, come out and see me."
A tall, middle-aged man in armor stepped forward a few steps. Ning Chen stared at him, "Who are you?" The other party looked at Ning Chen with an arrogant attitude, and said lazily: "Gu Xingfa, the governor of Changxiu Army." Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Do you know who I am?" Gu Xingfa glanced at Ning Chen with contempt, "I don't know!" "Then do you know the imperial sword in my hand?" Ning Chen raised the imperial sword and said loudly: "The imperial sword is here. If your majesty comes in person, why don't you kneel down?" Gu Xingfa laughed disdainfully, "You said it is the imperial sword? I said my knife is the imperial sword?" Ning Chen's face sank, "Gu Xingfa, do you want to rebel?" Gu Xingfa joked: "I can't bear such a heavy crime." Ning Chen stared at him coldly, then swept his eyes to the soldiers around him, raised the imperial sword, and said loudly: "I am Ning Chen, the silver-clad Ning Chen of the Great Xuan Supervisory Department. I am ordered by your majesty to inspect Xiuzhou... Seeing the imperial sword is like seeing your majesty. Those who do not kneel when seeing the imperial sword will be regarded as treason and their entire family will be executed!"
